" We tried to interrogate the Reporter who followed you there. But he has the same answer every time. Someone sent him the location! It's from an anonymous sender and unable to locate!"Ben places the cup of coffee on the table as he speaks. No matter how much she tries to think about it, it feels so odd that reporters or paparazzi can find them moving at midnight. Especially the route they use is Exceptional. However,. except for someone who was following them from the very beginning." Did you receive Gallian's call? He has been trying to reach you out! Must be worried about you!"" I don't precisely care about him. No matter what he broke the rules. Me being sick or not it's totally my fault and I will get published for this. But he taking me to his house was a ridiculous idea!" " Well, we can't deny. However, he did because he was worried about you. I wouldn't have left Someone I like!"" But you should know boundaries when the person you like is married. At least you should give
Oryx can always hide her true feelings no matter what is going on with her life. Ben has known her since she started working with his brother-in-law. Among all their coworkers, she chose Ben to get along with and share her all problems with. Not because Ben is a hacker, but because she knows the deepest secrets of Ben's entire family.Generally, she looks like another normal beautiful woman in the city, hoping to get her ultimate life. But those who know her pretty well can tell that, Oryx's true feelings never be able to be discovered.However, Recently, Oryx's anxiety and stress for her husband's daughter is undeniably strong. She doesn't care about herself, she doesn't want to know about her husband's deepest secrets to trap him. All she does is protect.Love changes people. And it is proven. Despite having no relationship with the child, she is willing to risk her own life to save her. But, who is going to save Oryx?Ben sighs deeply, watching her sleeping at the desk. The coffee
" Aren't you being hard on yourself?"Gallian grabs her hand to walk her through the auction area as they are going to participate as married couples. " Please restrain your curiosity when we are in business! Please lead the way, Honey!"Gallian sighs deeply watching her being in her straight face, as professional as a person can be. The disguise they are in belongs to dead couples who died a few years ago. There is no data about their identity in the database, so it is perfect for them to use." Are you going to buy that necklace?" Gallian asks, his eyes scanning people who are walking behind or ahead of them. " I heard it's a rare diamond. I don't mind!"She responds with a polite and loving tone. " I can buy it for you. If you wish, If you REALLY wish!"Oryx's eyes go to Gallian who is staring at her profoundly. No acting or any faking. He blushed when she spoke lovingly, and now she can see his flustered face. " Thank you!" She responds dryly, and strides inside.Everyone in
At night...Oryx's eyes are on the torn-apart box that he ordered online. Her jaws clenched finding her favourite vase that she found after two months of searching on the floor, shattered into pieces. She was preparing to gift it to one of her Chinese friends who likes to collect antiques. " What did you do with my vase?" Her body shakes with anger, unable to hold it in.Liliana who is staring at the pieces of Vase looks up. " It's just a vase. I can buy you another one. Why are you glaring at me?"She gets up, with no regrets about her complexion. Everyone in this house saw how crazily she opened it and crashed it on the floor without any second thoughts." Buy me another one? Who the hell give you the right to open my parcel, You damn!"Oryx groans in anger, tears unintentionally gathering around her eyes as she realizes she is unable to get this masterpiece again." Did you just curse me for a mere Vase? You shameless wo-"A slap across Liliana's face fell, Oryx didn't want to cho
In the dim-lit bathroom, she surrenders to the cascading cold water, its touch gently embracing her fatigued form. Each drop seemed to carry away the weight of the chaotic day, as her tired eyes flutter shut, granting solace to a soul yearning for respite. With the water's rhythmic cadence in the hushed serenity, her breath finds a haven, a soft snore echoing the arrival of a coveted, eternal sleep.Half an hour later...A barely audible creak announces the door's gentle movement, revealing a figure that enters the room without a whisper. Silhouetted against the muted light. On the nightstand, a diminutive purple box finds its designated space, a subtle addition that speaks volumes in the quiet narrative of the room." Oryx!?"Marquis, his eyes methodically sweeping the room, beckons her name with a tone edged in concern. A symphony of raised eyebrows punctuates his features, an intricate dance of curiosity and worry, drawn toward the unruly water now spilling out of the bathroom, its
In the aftermath of the scandalous incidents yesterday, the pressure is mounting on everyone to make a public appearance as soon as possible. The higher-ups and fellow politicians are pushing for a united front, brushing aside any excuses. "It's your first public appearance as a couple; don't mess things up!" Her mother's stern voice echoes in the changing room as she places a dress before her daughter. The color is scrutinized carefully, with an emphasis on ensuring it complements her body tone. It's a moment of both personal and political significance, with appearances now carrying an added weight.The lingering excuse that Oryx is not yet comfortable with public appearances is no longer valid. The unfolding events have thrust them into the spotlight, demanding a response. The coming public appearance is not just about personal image; it's a strategic move in the political chess game that requires careful consideration and precise execution.Oryx, standing before the mirror, sighs
Oryx's heart pounds wildly against her chest as Marquis's hand gently encircles her waist, holding her with both tenderness and respect. The incessant flashes of cameras illuminates the scene around them, creating a surreal ambiance. However, she can't bring herself to meet Marquis's intense gaze; he is staring at her with a depth that seems to reach into her very soul.This isn't a contrived stare; the touch around her waist feels genuine and unforced. Oryx senses the sincerity in Marquis's recent actions towards her. It leaves her unsettled, introducing a layer of complexity to her carefully laid-out plan.The cameraman chuckles, his laughter blending with the distant hum of camera shutters. "That's so graceful to watch. Look at Ms. Turner. She is blushing red!"Oryx, enveloped in a sudden spotlight of attention, doesn't utter a word. Instead, she allows her head to dip slightly, her gaze finding refuge in the ground below. A shy smile plays on her lips, a silent acknowledgment of t
" I have to leave now. Mom is waiting for you in her car."A phone call, which appears as " Liliana" on his phone screen, makes Marquis leave Oryx's side as soon as possible. The moment he received the call, he acted as a perfect husband before the guest disappeared. Now, he is heading out without any better explanation. She had already realized, that the moments she had spent with him last two hours, were all fake to him but to her, it's her forever sweet memories." Mom!" Wearing a mask of a sweet smile, covering her deepest sadness, she moves to the car. The appointment with her mother-in-law is still available." My Sweetest!" Mrs. Williamson extends her hand, with genuine care for her, and she hugs Oryx. " You must have been worried about the party. I am sorry that I didn't push Marquis more to help you out!"" No. Mom. It's fine." She smiles bitterly. " It's not fine. I know that Marquis has been neglecting you. We aren't blind. Just we don't know what possibly we should do t
