Max only looked at Ivory from a distance. He did not dare to approach the girl who was still lying weak. How many days has it been since the clay wolf attacked her? Until now, Ivory's body looks even more helpless.Max felt something was different about the girl. However, he couldn't find anything. His brain couldn't think for now, only thinking about Linea's tactics which would be very dangerous for Ivory.Max had to find out immediately what Linea was doing to prevent the woman from hurting his soul mate."Oh, you're home. What about that woman? Did you manage to overcome it?" asked Mirielle as she peered at the preparations through the microscope before her. She did look like a scientist. Unfortunately, Mirielle did not major in science but in art.Max flopped down on Mirielle's bed and folded his legs. He watched his sister, who was still busy with her experiments and medicines."I don't know how to deal with Linea anymore. You know how Linea is, right? She's so crazy and reckless

Max was attending a meeting with the board of directors, one of whom was his father, William Reynz. Max still had a problem with William that he needed to solve. At least William helped Linea to leave and move to another division because Max had run out of ideas to get rid of the woman. When the meeting was over, Max followed William to his room. William knew that his son was in a state of anxiety. A lot had happened recently, and William didn't know how to deal with it. Ivory was still acting strange, especially at night. She would come to Max's room or wherever the man went. Ivory can't seem to get enough of what they've made love for and hopes Max will bring her back to the peak of pleasure like before. It seemed impossible that Ivory was in love. Because during the day, she turned into the Ivory that Max knew—the Ivory who was rude when talking to him, and Max didn't care about that. He made Ivory his partner not because of love but a necessity from nowhere. "What brings you

Max, of course, couldn't refuse when Amethyst made him an offer that was entirely unfavorable to him. Max also didn't understand why he was so adamant about wanting Ivory. Was it because he had made love to her?Not really. Max was a casanova who had felt that from many women. And he repented when he was with Linea. Linea could say she was the unluckiest woman in the world because she had never had sex with Max.Max walked into his office with shaky steps. And when Linea greets him, he's in an even worse mood.Linea didn't let up even though Max had kicked her out, even rudely."Why are you still here?" Max asked and rubbed his throbbing forehead. He didn't understand; what else did he have to deal with? Wasn't one woman enough to complicate his life? He didn't want another one."Max ... why are you still rude to me? I miss you and want to be with you. Is that wrong?" Linea replied in a slightly sulking voice, hoping Max would be a little kinder to her."I just don't understand. You c

Ivory and Max were silent during the trip. Many things filled their respective heads about what they had just experienced. Max, who witnessed how Ivory was in front of doctor Alister, was now uneasy because he was burning with jealousy. While Ivory, the umpteenth time meeting Seth, the man who has managed to change her life for the better, must accept a statement that she did not expect at all from the man. Does Seth think asking Ivory to stay with him will make her look back? Then it hurts again because Ivory knows that Seth only wants her not to be owned by someone else while he has been owned. That woman was fortunate, according to Ivory, because she managed to captivate Seth's heart, who was always kind to all women. Ivory didn't expect that the story between her and Seth, which had never been intertwined, would eventually become more complicated, like a tangled thread. "Why have you been silent since before?" asked Max, who was starting to tire of the silence between them. He

"Elle, can't you stop and tell me what happened to Ivy?" urged Max, blocking Ivory and Gabriella's steps as he had no idea where they were headed. They looked so anxious and hurried. What the hell was going on? Max didn't even get an answer to his question from earlier. "Max, let Gabriella do her job first, okay? Now you calm down and—hey, Max!" Max broke through the portal Mirielle had created with her powers and followed Gabriella somewhere. Of course. They had now arrived at the underwater base where Max had left Ivory. Did something happen to Ivory? That question kept echoing in Max's head. He couldn't help himself when he arrived there and found Ivory lying on the floor, curled up as if in extreme pain. Her face was so pale, and her skin felt ice cold. "Ivy, what happened to you?" The girl opened her eyes slowly, then caressed Max's jaw with her weak hand. "M-Max ... are you here? What are you—uh!" "Ivy, Ivy! What happened? Are you sick?" asked Max, filled with anxiety
