POV LEO..."I told you, don't interfere with any of my business. How many times do I need to tell you that I have my chosen woman!”I sat on the bench in front of Madam Rose's boutique while massaging the bridge of my nose. Not long after, someone from my phone spoke again. "Oh come on, dear. I'm sure, that woman isn’t equal with our family anyway. You shouldn't make a big deal out of this matter, right?""Do you think I'm a fool for choosing a slut to be my wife? I'm not an idiot to fucks a prostitute until she is pregnant and then marries her. What a fool,” I laughed after saying that. I knew my words were starting to anger her. Perhaps if she could die because of her temper, that would be even better."W-What do you really want to say? I’m your mother! I know what’s best for you and everything I did all of this just for —""It's for your own sake. Stop talking as if you were my mother. You know what? It's disgusting to hear you say that you're my mother …”“...”“Watch yourself!

POV JEANNE..."I feel uncomfortable." I looked at myself in the mirror with an uncomfortable expression. It's because the long maroon dress I'm wearing is too sexy for me. It exposes my entire back and cleavage."But you look so beautiful, Jeanne," said Leo who was behind me and he looked neat in a dark red shirt and black vest.Just as I was thinking about unrolling my hair, Leo caught my arm and whispered in my ear. "Don't take it off," he says with his breath tickling my ear.I can feel my face heating up, so I closed my eyes and then said, "Can you stay away from me, Mr. Leo?”"Sure, but only after I help you with the necklace," Leo said coldly and I could see he let out something from his pocket.There was a beautiful ruby jeweled necklace around my neck. I was a little mesmerized when I saw how sparkling the jewel was."Isn't it beautiful?" Leo said again and sounded gently.Hearing Leo's words, I smiled wryly and said, "I've never seen a gem like this in any jewelry store. Wh

POV JEANNE…"Oh, calm down, Mr. Morgan. It was just a joke between friends," Samuel said as he glanced at me once. Then I saw Leo walking towards us, or rather Samuel. He seemed to be standing face to face with my brother's best friend and they both looked like they were about starting a war.Leo grinned as if mocking Samuel and after a moment he opened his voice. "Do you think your jokes are funny to listen to, Mr. Dawn? I think someone needs to say that he's going to take away your future wife." "After that let's see if you can still call it a joke?" Leo's words become sharp and piercing. I could see how Samuel's face looked provoked and finally replied to Leo's words, "Aren't you doing it to me now?""What do you mean?" And continued with Leo replying to his words. Seeing this situation, I sighed while closing my eyes. Looks like the two of them can't be in the same room — I thought frustratedly. "Stop this nonsense," I said as I covered my face with one hand. I took a deep

JEANNE'S POV ... "Can we stop this conversation? Wouldn't you rather just take care of your son with that bitch?" The atmosphere suddenly became tense as Leo opened his voice. I turned my head towards Leo who was sitting next to me, and then looked at Isaac Morgan whose face turned serious. What the hell is this father-son relationship? — I said to myself. Unable to stand the atmosphere, I cleared my throat in an attempt to break the ice."Ahem! I think I drank too much," I said.Then I glanced at Leo who was sitting next to me while patting his side thigh a few times to signal him to get me out of this situation."I should take Jeanne home now," Leo said.I was grateful that Leo understood what I meant. Soon after, he took my hand and we stood up."Oh, too bad! Honestly I wish that you could stay longer. Maybe you can come to our banquet next time," Isaac said as he stood up. I just smiled in response, but Leo replied coldly. "We still have a lot of business to take care of fo

JEANNE'S POV..."That coward ... every time I imagine he touching your body, I really want to skin him," Jerry said and I knew very well that he meant my ex-fiancé, Adam Moss. "Oh, honey, be patient. At least with this body of mine he's already in my trap. I just need to seduce him a little more and I'm sure the Hart family wealth will be within my grasp.""If it's too hard to seduce him, I'll take care of it," Jerry said, "This will be easier to kill a man with no clear status than the previous two."I closed my eyes while catching my breath to control my feelings. My head felt like it had been hit by a giant mace. I never thought that I would ever have a close relationship with someone so cruel. Although Adam was the jerk who ruined me, I thought it was all over with Lily having an affair with Adam and stabbing me in the back. But as it turned out, Lily had an affair with a man who seemed to be a murderer. Worse, he could go and roam freely in the city center. I can't deny that s
