"Madam, Miss Elnora came here just now."Mrs. Lena, who was just about to leave in her luxury car through the gate, immediately stopped when she heard the report from the security guard of her daughter-in-law's house.Madame Lena was currently planning to go to a supermarket to make Audi's favorite meal. After her daughter arrived home, until that moment her daughter looked so gloomy that she even touched the food only slightly. That's why Madame Lena wanted to make Audi's favorite meal which her daughter had never refused. The middle-aged woman turned her head, frowning in confusion as she looked at the security guard right beside her car. "Miss Elnora? You mean Xavier's ex-wife?" asked Madame Lena to confirm her hearing. The security guard nodded his head and replied, "Yes, ma'am, Miss Lena came here just recently. But I've asked her to come back tomorrow because Mr. Xavier doesn't want to be disturbed."Hearing the explanation from the security guard made Madame Lena sigh. She d
"Do you want something? I'll buy it for you."Xavier sat beside Audi, staring at the woman who was silent. Since returning home the woman had been confined to herself, not wanting to come out of the room at all."Audi," Xavier whispered while gently holding the woman's fingers. Seeing Audi who was only silent like this, made Xavier sad, it seemed like there was a heavy trauma experienced by his wife during the kidnapping."You're home, dear, so... stop being sad. You're safe now." Xavier kissed those delicate fingers, kissing them fondly. He loved the woman who became his wife very much.Seeing Xavier treat her like this brought tears to Audi's eyes. For some reason there was a sudden tightness in her chest. She also slowly pulled her hand from Xavier's grip, making Xavier look directly at the woman."What's wrong, Dear? Why are you crying?"Audi shook her head, turning her face away to stare in another direction. The image of when Anthony had grabbed her chastity, made Audi instantly
The sounds indicating the worms that have been screaming for food come from the stomach of a man who is currently focused on the monitor screen in front of him. Both of the man's retinas seem to be continuously fixed on the intriguing laptop monitor. "Sigh... why do I have to be hungry at the wrong time?" the man grumbles with frustration. He glances at the watch on his hand, seemingly unsure of its time, then looks at the clock on the wall. 12:36 PM Xavier, the man, sighs deeply. At this hour, there's no hope of satisfying his hunger. No, it's not because Xavier lacks a lover or partner, but his wife, deeply involved in the outside world, has made him accustomed to her absence whenever he's busy working like this. Currently, Xavier deliberately didn't go to the office. He decided to work from home because not only is he lazy to prepare early, but he also wants to focus more in his empty house. Xavier leans back in his work chair, his gaze wandering around the living room. He s
Xavier focused on the work displayed on his laptop screen. For him, the job on his laptop was far more important than his wife, who he felt had no effect or impact on his life whatsoever."I am confident in my decision."Elnora's voice echoed in Xavier's ears. There was no hint of fear or concern about the words that had just come out of her mouth. Xavier's heart had become like a rock, unaffected by anything thrown at it, much like rocks in the ocean.From the corner of Xavier's eye, he could see Elnora's annoyed expression because she hadn't received any response from him since earlier. It wasn't that he wanted to prolong the conversation to hear more from his wife; it was simply because Xavier was now focused on saving and not losing the files he was working on.Xavier had made it clear that his work was far more important than anything, including his wife. Elnora hesitated; her face showed a high level of confidence, thinking that Xavier must be restraining himself to prevent her
Xavier clenched his fists.A sigh, a sign that he was trying to release all the burdens and anger from the humiliation spoken by his ex-wife, fueled a fierce resentment within Xavier. Truly, he never felt regret after being divorced by that woman. However, Xavier would never accept the fact that she dared to insult him.As if realizing that his anger would only waste his time, Xavier let go of it, shifting his focus to something more important. He reached into his pocket and took out his phone without a case.His hands were skillful, dancing across the screen as he played with it. Once he found what he was looking for, Xavier pressed his phone to his left ear, attempting to contact someone whose name was written in characters only he could understand.After a short while, the call connected. A person with a soft voice, a sign of respect towards Xavier, spoke from the other end."Get ready at the location. I'm back."A few concise words from Xavier carried significant meaning.The voic
Welcome back, Young Master," greeted a man leading a line of muscular and imposing men. They looked impeccably organized, displaying dedication and pre-programmed teachings.Xavier offered a warm smile. It had been a long time since he had seen his subordinates.The man nodded slowly, acknowledging the greetings from his subordinates, represented by their leader, Zeyn."Zeyn, is everything in order?" Xavier inquired, looking at the man who was gradually straightening his posture.Zeyn, the leader of the group, nodded firmly, confirming the inquiry from his superior. "Everyone is present, Young Master. I've made sure everyone is here, and not a single person is missing."Xavier smiled again before turning around.He reached into his shirt pocket, pulling out a card, which he then tapped on the detector at the door. Automatically, after processing the ID card, the grand door swung wide open.Xavier stepped inside his long-abandoned, majestic house. Even though unoccupied, he hired peopl
A long exhale escaped Xavier's mouth.It wasn't an easy task for Xavier to directly handle what had been his responsibility for so long.Stepping out of his comfort zone, pretending to be a simple man, and now having to leave it all behind – it was truly not an easy feat.Xavier had to let go of many things, including his precious time."Have the people in the office and the employees already known who the owner of Baxier Company is?" Xavier asked after relieving his stress.Xavier just wanted to ensure further details about his long-unattended company."The director, Victor, known by the employees, is acknowledged as the rightful owner of Baxier Company. I believe Director Victor is just carrying out his duties. The fact that people recognize him as the owner has no impact on him.""How sure are you, Zeyn? Are you absolutely sure Victor is as you know him?"Zeyn lowered his gaze slightly, facing a smirking superior.Being Xavier's most trusted subordinate, Zeyn understood the meaning
Xavier now wakes up earlier. Sleeping in a much more comfortable place makes Xavier feel far fresher and more energetic than usual.To maintain his ideal physique, Xavier decides to go for a morning run through the picturesque countryside. The thin mist covering the countryside doesn't dampen Xavier's spirit in the slightest."Good morning, Young Master!"His two subordinates guarding the main door greet Xavier with respect. Xavier nods slightly while holding a small towel around his neck.Xavier gazes at the thin mist before finally leaving his luxurious home. At the gate, he is greeted by the salutations of two security guards, as well as his trusted right-hand man who immediately wants to follow him."I'll accompany you, Sir."Xavier looks at Zeyn intently, and a moment later, his head shakes, indicating his disapproval of Zeyn's desire."But, Sir...""I've written instructions for you on a note in my room. Carry out my orders.""Understood, Young Master."Zeyn can't resist. All he
