After all, we are happy couple

“Francisco!”“This has gone too far. Don’t you realize that?” Lilith said, her voice firm but strained.Francisco tilted his head slightly. “Really?”“Is that so? Then leave my room.”Lilith let out a soft, mocking chuckle.“You know what, Francisco,” she began, her eyes fixed on him, “whatever the truth may be, the world recognizes me as your wife. No one can take that place.”Francisco’s jaw tightened.Lilith continued, her tone steady but edged with bitterness. “And one day, you will come to me.”She paused, then added with controlled sharpness, “You will have to accept the truth—that she is never coming back to you.”Her voice hardened. “Never.”Before she could say another word, Francisco lunged forward. He grabbed her by the neck and pinned her against the wall.“Don’t you dare say that again,” he warned, his voice dark and dangerous.His grip tightened. Lilith struggled to breathe as his fingers pressed into her throat.“She is with me,” he said through clenched teeth. “She wil

He loves you, Zain

Francisco smiled at her, yet Lilith understood that the smile concealed something darker.His rage!He nodded slowly and leaned closer to her face.For a brief second, Lilith felt surprised. Was he truly going to kiss her?She gently closed her eyes.But she was mistaken.Instead of kissing her, Francisco brushed his cheek lightly against hers, creating the illusion for the cameras. To the public, it appeared intimate. To her, it felt empty.In a low voice, he whispered, “I hope this will be enough.”“Grandpa will be pleased after seeing this.”Lilith pressed her lips together, suppressing her emotions. She maintained her smile and faced forward as the cameras continued flashing. Moments later, they both stepped away from the media and entered the hotel.Soon, they reached the private meeting room.Inside, the atmosphere shifted from glamour to tension.“We have a problem in Greece,” Max began. “I don’t understand why Liam has been unable to control the situation there.”Lilith looked

To Greece

Zain did not say anything.The silence stayed between them for a while.Kevin then broke it gently. “Let’s go out.”Zain looked at him and nodded with a small smile. He closed his books neatly.Then Kevin and Zain left the room together. Like every week, they went out for a walk, talking quietly.The next day, Lilith did not find Francisco beside her, just like every other day. She slowly got up from the bed, her expression turning uneasy, because she had not seen him since yesterday. A strange hunch grew stronger in her mind... that Francisco might have already left without informing anyone.Without wasting any time, she quickly changed and stepped out of her room, calling out, “Anna! Anna!”Hearing her voice, Anna rushed upstairs immediately.“Yes, Madam!”Lilith looked straight at her and asked in a solemn tone, “Where is your master?”Anna lowered her gaze before answering, “Master did not come home last night.”Lilith gave her a steady, unreadable look, scanning her briefly from

The bar night

Francisco entered his room, with Max following closely behind him.Without turning back, he spoke in a calm yet sharp tone, “Alexander really thinks he can own Greece… just like history. But he forgets... history does not repeat itself, it needs to be created.”Max’s face remained solemn. He did not respond to that remark; instead, he chose to address something else.“It seems Grandpa is not very pleased with your decision either,” he said carefully.Francisco let out a faint, careless scoff and turned to face him. “As if I care, Max.”There was no hesitation in his voice... only cold certainty.After a brief pause, he added, his expression turning even more serious, “Get ready. We will have a meeting soon.”Max nodded. He was about to leave when Francisco stopped him again.“And tell everyone to be prepared,” he said, his tone lowering with quiet authority.“If they don’t accept our deal… you already know what we have to do.”Max gave a short nod, understanding the unspoken meaning,

Were you expecting him?

After two days, Mia returned to her job as a waitress.Her injury was not serious. Only her hand was hurt. She could still work, but her movements were slower, careful, and slightly stiff. It would take time to heal.But she could not afford to rest.This job mattered. It was her part-time work, and she needed the money to complete her graduation.During her break, Mia sat alone on a bench. She took a deep breath and looked around, trying to ease the heaviness in her chest.Suddenly, Ronin approached her.“How are you feeling now?” he asked, concern clear on his face. “You could have taken another day off.”Mia let out a quiet sigh and shook her head. “No… I feel bored at home, Ronin.”Ronin sat beside her and leaned forward, resting his elbows on his knees. “That night was chaos,” he said, his voice still tense. “I really thought we were going to die.”Mia lowered her gaze. She said nothing.The memory still felt too close.“The owner was under a lot of pressure,” Ronin continued. “T

Mia's Idol

Francisco looked at Mia, yet he gave no response.His silence made her uneasy.“I… that night, you were the one who took me to the hospital,” Mia said, struggling to gather her words. “I… hope you remember…”Francisco shifted his gaze toward Max for a brief moment, then looked back at her. Instead of answering, he leaned slightly forward and said in a calm, detached tone, “Bring something special.”Mia hesitated, then quickly nodded. “Sure.”As she walked away, Max frowned and leaned closer. “Francisco, what the hell is this?” he asked in a low voice.Francisco leaned back casually. “I’m not in the mood. You handle her.”At that moment, a man approached them nervously.“Mr… last time, you said you wouldn’t do anything here…” he said, his voice trembling.It was the bar owner.Francisco sighed, clearly irritated. “What?”“I… I didn’t say anything to anyone. I didn’t do anything,” the man stammered, fear evident in his expression.Francisco raised his brows slightly.Just then, Mia retu
