Clarice felt so happy that for the past few hours, she had gone shopping with Jessy. There were so many things they did, and it made Clarice's previously boring days a little more bearable. She should do it more often to relieve stress. After shopping, Jessy took Clarice straight back to the mansion as Clarice had to get ready to go out with Joshua. A romantic dinner with her husband and of course, Clarice had to prepare herself as beautifully as possible in front of Joshua. Luring your husband with a perfect appearance is also a form of a wife's affection for her husband. And it's a natural thing for married couples to do.Clarice's perfect look with natural makeup was intentional. She didn't like to wear makeup that made her look like an old, mature woman. Sweet, elegant, but fierce. It was the right choice for dinner with Joshua.Just as she finished dressing and descended the last step, she saw Joshua walking into the house. He was back from work. Right on time and neither of the

Joshua was frustrated when he lost track of the black car carrying Clarice. He hit the steering wheel and cursed that night. Whoever had kidnapped Clarice had become his target to kill.With his breath catching and his head feeling stuck for a way out, he called Darren, his friend who could always be counted on when he couldn't find a way out.Joshua explained the chronology of what happened to Clarice and he also shared the police number of the car that kidnapped her with Darren. He urged Darren to do his business and it didn't matter how much he would pay him as long as he found what he wanted.After calling Darren, Joshua drove to his father, Harry's house. But on the way he called the mansion and told the maids and servants to be on the lookout for anyone suspicious. He wanted Axcel to be safe there even without him for the time being.Arriving at Harry's house, he rang the bell repeatedly to reveal Flora opening the door."Joshua, what's wrong?" asked Flora, looking up at him."C

Clarice heard the door to her room open as she fell asleep in her sitting position with her hands and feet bound. Her body began to ache as she was not used to sleeping in a sitting position and she suddenly felt dizzy. Her eyes were not even strong enough to open wide."Clarice?" Zack's voice called out to her. He patted Clarice's cheek when she was completely limp. "We're going to move because your husband apparently almost found this place." Clarice heard his words but could not open her mouth to speak. Meanwhile, her body was suddenly picked up by Zack because Zack saw Clarice who was helpless in a matter of one night.Zack carried her into his car driven by his driver. Then his car and the cars of his men left the warehouse to move to another location."Take her to my hotel for now," Zack said, giving his driver an order."Alright, Boss."Clarice immediately tried to open her eyes when she heard the word hotel. Somehow she felt saved when she heard the place mentioned. And she

Clarice opened her eyes slowly while enduring the pain she felt in her feminine area. She looked to her right and left, and saw that she was in a different place. "Where ... where am I?" she asked. One of Zack's men approached her. "Miss, you're at the hospital." Clarice was stunned and she remembered that she was still kidnapped by Zack. What's more, she realized that her hands were locked with handcuffs attached to the hospital bed. She tried to remove them but was unsuccessful. Finally, she resigned herself and sighed with her panting breath. "Where's Zack?" asked Clarice. "He's outside." Clarice's eyes darted in every direction where she might find something that would release her. But with her hands locked in cuffs, she couldn't do anything. Moreover, her body was completely weak. "I'm thirsty," said Clarice, listlessly. The man guarding her glanced at her and he approached, reaching for the glass of water on the bedside table. He helped Clarice to drink and she gulped it

Joshua sat in the exact chair where he would meet Zack through the glass booth while talking on the phone that was a facility in the prison for visitors who wanted to visit inmates.His face looked flat and rigid, filled with emotion and impatiently awaiting Zack's presence to talk to him.When Zack finally appeared, he sat down opposite her. His face was equally as stony. They picked up the receiver and started talking."You should know who you're dealing with, Zack," Joshua said, opening his voice. "I have powers you don't have.""You're a fucking loser," Zack retorted."I am. And so are you. I thought you were pretty good at strategizing. But I'm still one step ahead of you."Zack clenched his fists. He remembered how he was trapped and caught by the police for Joshua's actions. He himself didn't know how Joshua could do all that, because he didn't think Joshua had that kind of ability."You don't know me well enough, Zack. Too bad for you, good for me. Your family didn't even come
