"I heard you weren't at work yesterday?" asked Richard on the other end. This morning, Austin deliberately came early to his office. Not because he had something to take care of but he didn't want to be at the same table with Calysta. He might lose his appetite.He still couldn't lower his temper because of what she did. Don't let his anger be detrimental to him. It seemed like he had to listen carefully to everything Richard said about how dangerous Calysta's move was. It could be that Austin's anger at the woman would backfire on him later.It didn't. Austin chose to leave it alone until he felt that everything was ready to turn things around. And on this trip, his partner and best friend had called. He frowned in disbelief at the name on his screen."It's still early. Are you worried about me?" asked Austin in a scornful voice. "I know, you can't live without me. You need me to pay for your wedding, right?""Asshole!"But afterward, they laughed

After Richard left, Austin couldn't work. Instead, he was busy thinking of something; what would the man do? Richard didn't mention exactly how the plan would be carried out. Instead, the risks were told first."Does this mean... that what I've been trying to cover up will be revealed?" he asked softly. "What do you really want, Calysta? Isn't what you've got enough when it comes to material things?" She let out a long sigh. His concentration was clearly no longer there to simply read the report.Compared to what he was doing while checking, it was better for Austin to pause. Flashbacks of his life played slowly in his mind. The beginning of his introduction to Calysta. The sweetness of their love story. His disappointment and anger that his father preferred a foreign woman to be his wife; Jane Oliver, instead of approving his relationship with his lover. What makes Austin not care how much money to shut up the news seekers. To keep them out of his private life.

Austin opened the door to the room reserved for Jane and the rest of the SEO staff. There were some items that he felt had been left there intentionally. Goojoo staff had deliberately placed a sofa and some other facilities during this advertising project."Please," Austin said, inviting Jane to enter. To which without hesitation the woman walked gracefully without ever looking down in front of him. The Jane he knew was much different from the Jane in front of him now.Wearing a black dress with a sabrina collar that displayed Jane's shoulder blades perfectly. Not to mention that her slender neck was exposed without being covered by anything, not even a necklace was worn as an accessory. Just wearing small pearl earrings matching the frames of her glasses today. And that was the only accessory that stood out from what she was wearing.Oh... one more thing, the bracelet she gave me yesterday. It wasn't for no reason that she gave the bracelet. It belonged to her

"Go ahead," Jane said as she placed a plate of chicken gordon blue with sliced roasted potatoes. There was also a salad that she had separated on a separate plate. She had prepared dinner because Fabian had promised to enjoy her cooking.She said, "It's a rare moment when we're not pestered by the noisy trio.""Wow." Fabian looked at all the dishes with interest. "You're really good at spoiling the tongue." He immediately picked up his cutlery. Using the tip of his spoon, he tasted the sauce drizzled over the lightly floured fried chicken. There was definitely some super delicious melted cheese waiting for him as he savored each piece. "It's delicious.""Thank you." Jane sat down in front of Fabian. "Eat until you're satisfied. I can make some more if you don't have enough.""No." Fabian laughed. "My stomach might not be ideal anymore. Distended maybe?"Because of Fabian's joke just now, Jane joined in the laughter that Fabian made. No one spoke af

Calysta walked with light steps. Her face was smiling. Her latest cell phone never left her hand. She did not even hesitate to share her smile with her in-laws. She was reluctant but since she was in a good mood, it didn't matter. It was okay, for these few nights Austin ignored him again. Again and again.Always saying he was busy, falling asleep in the study, or not coming home at night. Even after dinner that night, Austin casually asked Calysta to go home with the driver while he chose to make out with work. There was a momentary suspicion that came to mind, could Austin be seeing Jane?Ah, it doesn't matter. Isn't that great? Everything he planned ended perfectly? At the culmination, she could strangle Austin without hesitation. Bring him to his knees because what he was about to do, he wouldn't be able to do without her help. She would come out and solve the problem at hand, as a good wife. And most of all, Austin won't be able to resist when his goal is achieved
