"You already know my apartment is small." Richie's voice broke Sharlynn's reverie. She didn't even realize that she was standing on the doorstep of her contract husband's apartment. "I don't want to hear any complaints."After saying the last sentence, Richie opened the door and walked inside. Sharlynn blinked twice. Then she followed Richie's whereabouts as he dragged a not-so-large suitcase inside.Once inside, Sharlynn looked confused. The apartment Richie had had only had one room with one bedroom. Even the closet in the room is just one. As she walked to the front of the room, she saw Richie standing with his back to her, taking off his suit and shirt.Sharlynn looked uncomfortable as she saw for the second time that his back was covered in tattoos. Biceps and triceps were visible on both arms, sticking out. She just stood at the front of the room with her eyes fixed on her husband's sexy body.When Richie accidentally turned around, he saw Sharlynn standing in front of his room,

The Eisenhauer wedding party seemed to be over. Waiting for the evening banquet. Odette and Julian's wedding was a lavish affair, with Heinz's business associates in attendance, but without the Kauffman family, who were disappointed with Heinz's unfair treatment of his biological and stepchildren.In the room, Heinz sat on the edge of the bed. He was staring at an old picture frame, only one of which he still kept in a drawer. It was a family photo of his late wife and a teenage Sharlynn.His tears melted, but at the same time, his face turned an angry red. It was as if she couldn't accept that her only daughter was married to a man of unknown origin like Richie. At the same time, the sound of the door creaking as it opened revealed Rolanda smiling happily. A second later, however, she made a pitiful face."Heinz, why are you still here? Julian and his family are waiting for you. We still have a lot of pictures to take. Have you finished with Sharlynn?" Rolanda asked as if she cared.

"Sharlynn?" The greeting voice made the beautiful brunette, who had been looking down sadly, look up.A beautiful woman with red hair made Sharlynn narrow her eyes. It was as if she remembered the beautiful face of the woman with the trackless face."Hey, did you forget me?" the woman asked again with a smiling face.Sharlynn rounded her eyes and opened her mouth to form the letter O. It seemed she was beginning to recognize who the face in front of her was."Melanie?" Sharlynn finally asked back. "Where have you been since you married Max? It's like you've disappeared off the face of the earth."Sharlynn rose from her chair and hugged the beautiful woman who had greeted her earlier. As if longing and needing a place to release some of her sadness, Sharlynn hugged the woman tightly."I'm sorry. I didn't get a chance to say goodbye," the woman said as she released Sharlynn's embrace. Melanie looked at the woman strangely. "Hey, where is your happy face that used to adorn this beautiful

"Oh my God, Richie must be furious at me." Sharlynn, with an irregular heartbeat, now looked confused. She ruffled her brunette hair, which was wavy and complete to the point of being disheveled.Sharlynn inhaled as much oxygen as she could, then exhaled slowly as she patted her chest. Perhaps she was trying to ease the tightness in her chest. "I can't be like this every day. It's time I learned to keep my house in order," Sharlynn muttered confidently.The beautiful and spoiled woman began to walk her long legs back to the kitchen. She had a sad look on her face as she swept the messy kitchen floor. But Sharlynn's determination could never be broken. Without hesitation, Sharlynn walked over to the scattered items. She bent and sat down, carefully avoiding the broken glasses and plates. Saving items made of stainless steel and aluminum had no discernible effect.Sharlynn carefully began to clean up the broken glasses and plates. She collected them and placed them in a plastic garbage

Sharlynn no longer heard the birds chirping outside the window or the sound of tree branches rubbing against the glass in the window near her bed that always kept her awake. This time, Richie, who had gotten up first and was getting ready to leave, looked at the woman who seemed to be closing her eyes under the sofa with the bedspread looking disheveled."What a spoiled girl," Richie muttered as he passed Sharlynn's position and entered the kitchen. A few minutes later, the lushly lined eyes slowly opened after the irises moved despite the closed lids. Not to be outdone, the nose also moved as if the scent of something rather pungent to the nose disturbed the girl's sleep."Eeerrgghhhh!" Sharlynn's voice stretched her body, stretching her muscles after last night's poor sleep due to the completion of the project she had signed the contract for.Still on her back, Sharlynn blinked as she stared at the wall clock above Richie's bedroom door. Her eyes widened as the clock struck eight.
