Anthony sighed, turning her around.He pulled her into his arms, lovingly caressing her as she took deep breaths to control her tears."I don't know about the entire world. But I will do everything possible to ensure you're safe and well provided for, at all times," he whispered, caressing her back as she sniffed."There's no time. You need to move it. Once the rain stops, they will send men back here to scout this place," the system reminded, making Anthony reluctantly pull away from her."We need to go," he whispered, pulling her into the rain."Damn, are you sure the poo didn't get washed to this area?" Aria whispered, crinkling her nose in disgust."We will dispose of the shoes once we leave here and buy new ones. Besides, we will be careful, there are rocks along the way, let's use that, and also avoid the downstream area," he answered, pulling her along."I'm sorry, it's all disgusting. The dirty water is basically a massive flood!" The dainty Aria screamed, making Anthony roll

"What's wrong with this one?" Anthony thought in frustration, wondering if all women were a bunch of headache-inducing pieces of work."She probably grew up fighting humiliation and evil relatives, while her own inner family that truly loved her pampered her like a goddess. So she must have gotten it into her system that anyone who truly loves her would not raise his voice at her, no matter what. Which conclusively means that you don't love her," the system said in a funny metallic voice, causing Anthony to groan."Sweetheart, why would I want to leave you here? I wouldn't dare throw you to the sharks without any protection whatsoever. You mean a lot to me, how do you expect me to live without you, eh? I only said that out of anger because you're not helping matters by being slow. Even now, I received information that they have tracked us to the motel, and are only five minutes away. Not getting dressed so we can quickly escape means that they're catching up to us in a matter of two o

Aria was immediately alarmed, quickly understanding their ploy. Throughout the time her father searched for her, he didn't paste her information on the news for fear that the kidnappers would decide to kill her in alarm.This can only mean one thing, the people masking as law enforcement agents are the criminals after them.They are trying to pose as good people to make the people who saw them around quickly share any information they might have, thinking they were helping a kidnap victim get rescued.But in actuality, they will be aiding them in hurting Aria and Anthony.Even the motel attendants and the man from the departmental store will start thinking deeply about it. Hell, they will probably call to share the information they have about Anthony.And in that moment, the only thing on Anthony's mind was that their current attire was no longer a safe camouflage as the old storekeeper will definitely describe it to the organization's spies in vivid details, sharing every little thin

Anthony forced himself to walk with a normal gait to avoid looking suspicious, following the magnetic pull of the other bracelet.He saw Aria before a counter arguing with the sales assistants who were obviously looking down at her.A huge scowl immediately appeared on Anthony's face as he realized that she had summoned him because of a mere misunderstanding, causing him to think that she was in danger.He bit his lips and forced his expression to normalize, before walking towards the counter."What's wrong, honey?" He whispered, pulling Aria close."These two trolls kept humiliating me, telling me to send back the items I picked, that I'm unable to pay for them. I provided my card to them and they said that classless, ugly idiots like me are not allowed in their store, making fun of me all through," Aria shrieked in an unfamiliar voice that frightened even Anthony himself."Such a handsome guy unluckily got glued to shriek the troll. They're obviously nouveau richés, forced to get ma

The girl stared at him with trepidation, and he angrily dragged her close."I asked you to get the fingerprints of any couples, or anyone with black hair that comes to lodge in, not insult the high personalities that wanted to patronize our hotel. Just look what you've done, our hotel is all over social and news media, and all efforts to take it down had failed, showing how powerful that seemingly average couple was. You didn't merely insult them, you also poked at their weak spot. You mocked their inability to have a child, infuriating them the more. What do you think the organization will do to you?" He growled angrily."I didn't know that they were actually childless. I just said it on a whim, I didn't mean to mock them for their inability to have a child, I swear it. I don't even know them. How was I supposed to know that they were indeed barren?" She quickly pleaded, going down on her knees."But they think you do. They assume we are competitors that intentionally wanted to mock
