She was left both disappointed and devastated. Xavier broke his promise to go and see her in the evening. She was still in pain. She kept rushing to the bathroom to release her stomach's content. She kept drinking water so she wouldn't be dehydrated from all her puking, but she was still as pale as a white paper. The doctors and the maids were giving her all the attention as she was poorly sick. She could hardly finish a half plate of food before she went out puking. Margarette knew something was wrong with her body. Something is changing, and she knows that it's something different than just a normal sickness. But she kept her silence. They weren't telling her what was happening, but she knew. Somehow, she knew that they were hiding something. "Clarise..." she uttered weakly as she slowly opened her heavy eyelids. Her maid immediately went to tend her needs. "Ma'am, do you need anything? Water?" It's already past midnight and Clarise was still wide-awake, watching over the lady sh

The door slammed loudly in the master's bedroom which startled the life out of her. She looked wide-eyed as the intruder shut the door so hard that the room literally shook from the force. "W-What..." she uttered, her heart racing in panic as she searched for the person, but when she saw that it was no stranger at all, she began to calm down. Her heart started beating fast, but now it wasn't because of the panic or the fear, but with excitement and happiness. Because standing in the same room was none other than her own husband. She immediately stood up, eyes were wide from disbelief. "Hubby?" she whispered, not believing her own sight. Is he really home? Did he finally come back to see her? Xavier stood still, looking at her with indifference, but she was too focused trying to confirm that her husband is finally here to even notice how he looked at her. She couldn't believe it. It seems like years since they have seen each other even though it was literally just a week. She mis

"Doll..." he uttered as he tried to hold her face. There was a panic rising in his eyes as he looked down at her. She avoided his touch as if it was a virus that burns her skin. She looked at him emotionlessly. "Don't touch me...""Alright..." He swallowed. Looking down at her reddened face, he blamed himself for letting his demon get the best of him. He might be a monster, but hurting women isn't his thing. He might be angry at her but he shouldn't have done what he had done.Regret flooded through his features.She lifted her shaking hand to cup her cheek where he slapped her. It stung, and every stinging sensation she felt was a realisation that hit her. A decision had come to her mind.She's not going to let him hit her again.All her life, she was never treated this way. Even though her father had locked her up and didn't allow her to explore the world, he provided her everything that she wanted. He gave her a castle like a princess from the fairytale, and she wasn't ever hit.Sh

It would be the day they would execute their plan. To say she was nervous is definitely truth. She felt like her heart would burst at any given seconds that passes. She doesn't think she could do their plan, but then again, she have to. "Alright, so let's just wait until midnight to do this, alright?" Reezha said to her in a hush tone after her 4th visit in the cell. Margarette was grateful that Reezha was on her side now as she was able to eat 3 meals a day or even more than that for the last 3 days. And during those days, Xavier never visited her at all.But it was okay for her. It was also convenient for them to complete their task without getting noticed by her husband."Y-Yes," she replied nervously. It was already past 9 pm. She was able to clean herself and change her clothes for a rather comfortable pair of jeans and black hoodie. Reezha also brought a black face mask for Margarette. "I'm nervous..."The younger woman smiled at her with sadness in her eyes. "I know... But Flo

He looked at his wristwatch to see the time. It's already past midnight. Damn it. He cursed in his head as he stepped the accelerator to speed up his drive. He ran through the red lights, making the car behind him crash and create havoc. But he didn't even bother to give a bit shit. He was in a rush. He needs to go home as soon as possible.It has been 3 days since he left the house to do the searching personally. His father had already woken up from the coma a few hours earlier and was constantly screaming—asking where his dotted son and his princess were. Xavier had to watch and calm his father down before he went back to his own mansion. Finally he's back. It has been such a hefty day he could barely get some sleep, but he had no choice but to do so.He needs to find their youngest sibling.Fortunately, he received a message about the location of his brother. Leonardo Ferrero wanted just 50 million dollars for his brother. Yes, that wasn't a problem to him at all. What a small amo
