Narrator's POV...The sound of rolling Luggage seems to have gotten stronger. Oryx turns while having her dinner. Her eyes meet Liliana who is walking towards the door with Maria. The expression on Maria's face shows her rebellion against her mother.Earlier, she didn't allow Maria to talk. She doesn't want Maria to be so close to her whilst avoiding her own mother. She isn't selfish to take someone's child, at least." Liliana! Stop. This is your family. OK? She will leave once we break off the relationship!"Marquis who doesn't have any idea that Oryx is having dinner, can hear him, shout. " I don't care. How can I possibly see my daughter getting close to a random woman? Kick her out or kick me out. I am not..." Her words stop as she coughs weakly again. Her pale expression is giving away her health issues. " Let's calmly talk. We will find a way to solve the problems."Those certain words reach out to the person who is supposed to hear, them for good. Her almond eyes fall on the
" You know that you can't get out of our clutch no matter how strong you are! Do you wish to see a lifeless body as you have imagined last night?" Her heartbeat dropped as well as her shoulder when her mother placed her phone on the table. Indeed, there is a report file about her child being born in their hospital. " I want you to give two bags of blood today. Since you are my daughter, I can't punish you more. And stop searching for that bastard who destroyed your youth. What a shameful thing to our family!" " How did you know I was searching for the man that night?" She asks as her eyes dilate with shock." Hah! You still have the strength to ask. As I said I am your mother and I know you better than anyone does. " She snorts. "You ever threatened your father. Do you think just knowing how to use a gun can help you kill us? You can't even kill a fly. " She scoffs rolling her eyes." Stop dreaming of becoming a police officer. And be a good housewife and give birth to the heir of
" Can't you make time to have dinner with me?" " No!"" For once!"" I am sorry!""Oryx!!!" the agonizing voice echoes..." Sorry! I have to attend a family dinner with my husband! I have to go!"She hangs up on the person whose voice echoes the agony. 'I like you, but I don't have any chance to be with you' Those words were distinct in his voice.But what can she do more? Her life doesn't belong to her either. So is her heart. She has fallen in love with the wrong person, and she has regretfully given her entire heart which is unable to fall in love with someone else.Because,She is scared...Placing the phone on the bed, she opens the closet to grab a suitable dress for dinner. Although her body is hating so much to move. Her back is hurt. Probably has left some bruises after getting hit.However, she must attend the dinner.She grabs a silk dress and turns to walk towards the changing room. She gasps when Marquis enters the room without any sound and grabs her neck. His eyes are
" What did you say?" Oryx gasps as she receives a call. " Someone attacked Miss Liliana and Maria. Maria is in a coma now. Miss Liliana's left hand got fractured!"" You must be kidding me. This is a highly secured area. Nobody can enter." She speaks coldly before grabbing her purse. Her eyes go to her parents and Marquis's parents who are waving at her to say goodbye. Forcing a fake smile, she waves her hand and walks out of the restaurant. " Did you check the CCTV footage? Go to the monitor room and check who did it!" she asked while hopping the car." We are sorry, Ma'am! All footage is deleted."Being speechless, she starts driving. No wonder in the middle of the dinner, Marquis left. Someone attacked in this strictly prohibited area where only a few people are allowed to visit. This doesn't make sense to her. Also, the entire house is surrounded by guards. So, it was done by someone from internal control. " Try to restore them. No matter what and how long you need, try to rest
" How did my parents know that I was searching for that man? Because it's only you who knows about it?" The steam fades into the thin air in the bar, as she sips the coffee. Her sharp eyes are on Ben who is standing still as if he is caught in something unmovable." Wh... What are you talking about?" Ben shudders, clenching the tray that he is holding tightly. But the cold sweat on his forehead and those unfocused eyes are giving away his lies. " Do you know what I hate most? Betrayal. Whether I do or not it should be within my personal space. Why did you tell my parents about it?" Her cold eyes shift, staring at Ben. Swallowing hard, Ben places the tray on the table and sits down." I didn't know who they were. Once they introduced themselves. I was worried that they might have learned about your job." He sighs sharply, rubbing his neck. " But it wasn't. They found out that I hacked their system and collected information."" What a lousy Hacker you are!" she scoffs finishing her
" Let him go! Why does he always call you when I am right in front of him? Do you like him that you can't block his number?"Oryx's sharp eyes shrink more, with annoyance as she is being distracted by an anonymous call. " Who are you? Miss!" She said as she kept repeating herself to watch the footage. " Aren't you Oryx?"" Yes. I am!"" Then you should know this number. The owner of the number is my love of life!" the girl hisses angrily, as she doesn't like Oryx's cold and indifferent voice." That's not my fault that your crush doesn't like you. Stop being pathetic and try to win him over. I am hanging up!"Hanging up on the girl, she soughs. Not frustratedly but disappointedly..." Why would you do such a thing to your own family? Liliana!"Her dark eyes watch the video repeatedly. The answer is the same. Nobody attacked her. Instead of that, It was Liliana herself who hurt Maria and broke her arms. Oryx's hand reaches to her forehead, slightly rubbing as she can't understand hum
" He is not interested in your daughter!" Mr. Turner places the cup of coffee on the table and speaks. Both of them are having their evening snacks on their beautiful balcony. " She is your daughter too. And I don't think it will be problematic for us!" Mrs. Turner muses, placing one sugar cube in her coffee. " What makes you say that? What if Marquis asks for divorce?" " You still don't know your daughter, do you?" She grins and sips her coffee." I do." He responds confidently." Then you should have known right away that she is having one-sided love with Marquis. Even if he doesn't like her, she will make sure he stays with her. At least until she finds her son!"" She is getting stronger and bolder, to be honest. Why do I think we don't know exactly what is going on with her!" he rubs his trimmed beard while wondering. " Did we ever care about it? But one thing is suspicious about her. How did she know that hacker when she never stepped out of the house!? Sometimes your daug
" All done!"" Good Job! Everyone! And Oryx, Come into my room right now! I need to talk!" What's with the expression he is holding now? As if she did something awful. Every time she looks at her Boss, her neck gets stiff. Of all of his characteristics, one notable thing is how overbearing and Demanding he is. Stretching her arms and neck, she walks into the office room, her eyes lift, moves in the direction where her Boss is opening a drawer. " I need to leave! It's already midnight! I am a married person unlike you, Boss!" Shrugging, she throws herself on the couch. Has zero intention to show respect to the person who gives a death glare at her." You almost fainted there. What's going on with your body? Did you miss your monthly medical checkup?" " Here goes another nagging ~"" Oryx! You almost ruined the plan. Don't you know how dangerous it is in the middle of the mission?" He shouts angrily but a strained sigh escapes from his lips when he finds Oryx snoring already." Yaa
