“Are you sure this place is safe and David could not find us?” Mariane asked.“Don’t worry, this place is safe. Even Master didn’t know about this property.” George informed them. He fished out his key and opened the door. He ushered them inside the house.George let them roam around as he was busy putting their things inside the house. She and Agatha looked around the house. It was a simple bungalow-type wooden house. As they went inside, they were stunned. The house was fully furnished and clean. As if someone had cleaned it before they arrived.The furniture was made of wood from the living room to the kitchen. There were also three rooms. And each room had a bathroom and closet.“Who owns this place, by the way? It looks like it was well maintained.” Mariane ran her hand over the cabinet and table to see if there was dust. She even mouthed an oh when she noticed no dust on the furniture.George rubbed the back of his head, feeling ashamed. “This is mine, actually. I saved my money
“Y-you’re bleeding!” Mariane got horrified at what Agatha had just said.Mariane looked at her feet and saw blood. “B-blood…” she muttered. Her dizziness worsened, and her vision began to blur. ‘What is going on?’ she wondered until everything went black.“Mariane!” Mariane lost consciousness as she fainted on the side of the street.Mariane’s unconscious body fell on the road, which made Agatha panic. “Help!” she called for help.Out of curiosity, the people passing by stopped to see what was happening around them. The audience called for an ambulance to help them.“Mariane… Madame! Wake up!” Agatha kept tapping her face to wake her up. Until the help came.“What happened?” The rescuer asked.“I-I d-don’t know.” Tears pulled down her face as she looked at the rescuers. “M-my friend… She’s bleeding,” she said with her voice stuttering.“How long is she pregnant? Maybe she’s having a miscarriage.” Stunned, Agatha just stared blankly at the rescuer.“P-pregnant? I don’t know,” she mutte
“Jacob! Don’t run!” Mariane called as she chased his son, who was running inside the mall.She’s afraid her son will go to the escalator as he loved to ride on the escalator. He thought it was a toy.“Hey, Buddy. Where are you going? You shouldn’t run around. You might get into danger.”“Daddy!” Jacob called as he raised his head and saw a familiar face. He excitingly raised his hands and asked the guy to carry him.Mariane sighed in relief when she saw Jacob stopped from running.“You silly kid. You shouldn’t let your mom chase you. She’s too old to run around.” He slightly pinched Jacob’s nose, which made the kid pout.Jacob doesn’t want to touch his face, especially his nose as it easily gets red.“No. No. Pinch nose. Bad, Daddy.” Jacob wiggled his feet to put him down as he was pissed. Jacob knew his nose was now as red as a tomato.“Let me carry him,” Mariane took Jacob.“Thanks, George,” she said.“Did you guys eat?” he asked.“Not yet. We are not yet finished buying clothes for
David hurriedly went home to change his clothes and packed his things. He was planning to go to Country C and stayed there for a while to get his possession.‘You can’t hide from me now, Mariane.’ he thought as he saw pictures of her.When he saw the picture of George and Mariane together, his rage suddenly urged. He looks like he’s ready to kill someone who blocks his way. ‘Damn, you traitor! I won’t let you slide this time. You took my woman while I was away. I will kill you… you bastard!’ David tore the picture of Mariane and George. Then he lit his lighter and burnt the image of George.Suddenly, he remembered the other person who also betrayed him. ‘I should visit her before I leave.’ He picked up his car keys from the table and drove his car to his hideout. David stopped in front of the old building, where his men were waiting for him. He asked one of his men to park his car in the parking lot.As soon as he stood up at the entrance, his men greeted him with a bow. His domineeri
“Answer me!” David’s voice thundered in the four corners of the room.Agatha shivered in fear as she looked away, trying to ignore his gaze.“Mariane… S-she did have a baby before. But the baby is gone before she gave birth to it.” David lose his grip on her, which made Agatha sigh in relief.David’s eyes darkened as he couldn’t believe what had happened to Mariane. “What happened? Was it my child?” he asked.Agatha’s anxiety went back, and she lost her sanity once again. Agatha walked towards her bed while humming a lullaby song. David sighed frustratingly, as he knew he couldn’t get an answer from Agatha anymore.‘I should really need to see her.’ He thought as he clenched his fists.“John, book me a flight right away,” David ordered. ‘Mariane, you better have a good explanation.’ he muttered.***Mariane was busy doing paperwork when Anastacia called. She frowned because Anastacia wouldn’t call her during working hours.‘That’s new. Mom wouldn’t call me at this hour. Why did she c
Mariane arrived at their office earlier than usual to arrange her things in her new office. After the HR manager told Mariane about her promotion and her office, they immediately set up her office. So that, when she entered the office, she could use her new office. But what surprised her was her colleagues were already there.Mariane’s brows furrowed as she wondered why her colleagues glared at her as if she got indicted as a suspect in a murder case. ‘What’s with the glare?’ she wondered.“She is the newest hire here, but she has yet to be promoted.” Anne, one of her colleagues, said with a disgusted look on her face.“I heard that she doesn't even have a master's degree to get her position right now.” The other woman scoffed.“I also heard something else... He said it was his first time working after three years of rest.” The other staff said, which made Mariane feel embarrassed.She knew they were talking about her and pointing fingers at her, as she was the only employee who had j
“Nice to see you again, wife.”Mariane took a step back and her eyes widened in horror as she felt shiver all over her body. She even unconsciously let go of the paper she was holding.“S-so it’s you,” she muttered.David smirked as he saw the fear in her eyes. He made a step forward, towards her. “Stop. Don’t come near me.” She raised her hand as if she could stop him with her hands.But instead of being afraid, David laughed like he just heard a ridiculous joke. “Are you serious?”In one swift mode, David quickly reached Mariane. And Mariane's previously raised hand was now wrapped around her neck, while David was behind her. David smelled her hair and whispered in her ear. “You can never get away from me,” he said under his breath.Mariane shivered in fear. She was afraid that David would find out about their son and take him away from her. David could feel Mariane shaking. She panted so fast. As if her heart will go out of her ribcage.“Three years... I searched for you for three
“Will you not avoid me if you knew I was the one who helped you? Will you like me then?” Mariane almost squinted when she and David stared at each other. She felt her cheek heat up, a sign that it was red. Mariane immediately looked away.“Looks like you are blushing,” David teased as he leaned closer to her.Mariane closed her eyes as she was anticipating that David would kiss her anytime, but because of her reaction, David found it amusing. “Don’t worry. Even if I want to take you right here, right now… I will not do it here. The door can be opened anytime. And I don’t want anybody to see you naked.” he whispered to her ears which made Mariane shiver down her spine.David traced her lips down to her body onto the middle of her thighs, using his index finger, making Mariane flinch and felt goosebumps. He smirked and pulled Mariane back, so she will not fall from the desk.Mariane felt her body heat, and her cheeks were now as red as tomatoes. She felt embarrassed. ‘What the hell,
