Drake Carrington Demougust

Ackerley looked at the members of the Stonevrustarios family one by one. There was a feeling of disappointment that settled in his heart. He did not understand why what he thought was normal would boomerang on others.

"Let none bring up this incident again, neither in front of me nor behind me!"

Ackerley stood up and hurried out of the Stonevrustarios dining room. And, no one tried to prevent it.

"I'm done. Thanks for the dinner."

Lorainne stood and looked at her husband.

"Aren't you done yet, Ansell?"

The man, whose name was mentioned, immediately put down his cutlery and nodded.

"Let's go!"

The parents of Kleiner also moved from the dining room to their bedroom which was located on the second floor of the main mansion.

"Lora, wait for me!"

Ansell grabbed his wife's arm. He looked at Lorainne's red eyes.

"What's wrong? Just tell me, Lora!"

Lorainne looked at her husband in fury. 'How could this man doesn't understand what I mean!' she cried in her heart.

"It's okay. I'm just exhausted."

Lorainne walked ahead of her husband, who still didn't understand her feelings. She walked wearily.

Clack!

Lorainne opened her bedroom door. Ansell followed his wife. He knew that his wife was being provoked by what Daisy and Alexa had said at dinner.

"Oh, Lora, did anyone offend you to make you turn like this?"

Ansell walked over to Lorainne, who was sitting on the edge of the bed with a straight face.

"I'm fine, Ansell."

Still with the same answer and the same look on her face, Lorainne answered her husband's question without looking back.

"I know when you sulk like this. There must be something you're keeping to yourself!"

Ansell carried his wife's body in his arms while gently stroking her brown hair.

"Lorainne, do you remember, why I married you?"

"Yes. I always remember it, Ansell ...."

"I married you not because of your beautiful face, although your beauty's able to captivate my heart."

Ansell landed a kiss on his wife's forehead.

"I married you because of your graceful and classy behavior."

Instantly, Lorainne's heart felt warm. The emotion that had previously gnawed at her heart has now disappeared.

"Thanks for waking me up and getting out of the emotions that had come to me earlier, Ansell! You're the best husband ever!"

Ansell tightened his embrace. He was relieved because in the end Lorainne did have a kind and obedient attitude.

"From now on, lets our son live his life without our interference!"

Lorainne nodded while smiling at Ansell. The woman hugged Ansell, who loved her much.

Vyschella awoke to find Kleiner sitting in a bedside chair.

"You're awake, CiーCyra?"

'Damn it! My tongue's too stiff to call her name,' Kleiner groaned inwardly.

"Get up and eat! I'm going out now."

Kleiner tidied up the documents on his desk and put them in a brown envelope. He intended to go to his study because Oscar was waiting for him.

"Don't wait for me! Get some rest early!"

Vyschella didn't understand her husband's change in attitude, but she enjoyed every second of her time with Kleiner. She slowly got up and covered herself with the blanket.

"Oh, where's my smartphone?"

Vyschella fumbled for her smartphone. Vyschella didn't even remember where to put the smartphone?

"Oh, where did I put it?"

Vyschella hurriedly grabbed the handbag she used when she went shopping with Kleiner and opened it.

"Oh, I thought I lost my smartphone!"

Vyschella smiled as she took out the smartphone from her handbag. She turned on it and widened her eyes perfectly.

"God! 20 missed calls?!"

Vyschella's shaking violently. She was surprised by the number of missed calls that came from her father.

"I've forgotten my business with Dad! How about this? What should I do?"

Vyschella bit her left thumb to relieve the nervousness, while her right hand held the smartphone.

Drake : Disobedient child, answer my call!

Vyschella squinted when she opened and read a message from Drake Carrington Demougust as the father of the twins Villearisa and Vyschella.

Drake : Apparently, you've dared to fight me, Cia! Great!

Not only one message was sent by Drake, but three messages that contained blasphemies as well as threats, and certainly made the woman's heart hurt.

Drake : Put up a hundred million pounds and meet me tomorrow at 1 o'clock at Starrybucks coffee on Broad Street, or you won't be able to see the sick GrandmaーGwyneth Stephany Ellena, forever!

"Gosh! Dad'll never give up threatening and blackmailing me!"

After thinking for a while, the woman finally decided to contact her father. Even though she knew that the results would not be good.

Beep! Beep! Beep!

Vyschella tried to contact her father, but the man did not receive an incoming call from her.

"Where's Dad?! Why is it late at night, he's not getting a call from me?! Is Dad at Kley's Casino again?!"

After trying to contact Drake more than 10 times, Vyschella gave up. She no longer contacted her father nor did reply to her father's messages.

"What should I do? Where should I look for that kind of money? Working for a year, I can't make a hundred million pounds!"

Vyschella was desperate. She resigned to the fate that would happen tomorrow, but she would rather not surrender to her grandmother's condition.

"Whatever happens tomorrow, just happens! I hope, I won't regret it. Because I can't ask Kley for that much money!"

Vyschella put her smartphone back down and hurriedly cleaned herself up before eating the dinner that was already available. But apparently, the woman doesn't have a good appetite.

Kleiner returned to the bedroom after all his work was done. He thought of his wife, who had probably fallen asleep because it was late.

Clack!

Kleiner slowly opened the bedroom door, and walked over to the sleeping Vyschella.

"Why don't you touch all the food on this table, Cia? What's wrong with you?"

Kleiner gently stroked Vyschella's cheek. He feels closer to Villearisa's twin sister, who is his ex-fiancé.

"Yes, your forehead creases when you sleep! What are you thinking about?"

Kleiner was confused by his feelings. He would rather not confess his love for Vyschella, but he also didn't want to lose her.

"After I'm done bringing your family and Burke's to their knees, that's when I'll be honest and tell you who I am, Cia! Just wait and see!"

Kleiner took off his clothes and lay down beside Vyschella. He hugged his wife's body from behind while playing with the beautiful woman's long and beautiful hair.
