“Sophie,” Ellen uttered under his breath. He steps forward slowly, hesitating. His eyes fixed on his wife who look hurt and is about to cry.“Sophie, love…” he said while trying to sense her out. Ellen didn’t mind what expression he has on his face, what matter most right now is to clear things out with her.“Love, let me explain,”“STAY THERE!” Sophie exclaimed. Ellen was taken aback; it is the first time she yelled at him like this. Sophie isn’t the type to yell when she’s anger, but when she does, it means Ellen messed up.“Don’t you dare take another step,” she said with a scowl look in her face. Ellen can see the disgust, the disappointment, and hurt in her eyes.Marlene who understood the situation quickly run to Ellen’s side and cling on to his arms. Sophie can see the hurt and sadness in Ellen’s face, he wanted to approach her and touch her.Sophie’s eyes landed on Marlene’s hands clinging on to his husbands’ hands and then to Marlene’s eyes. Marlene gave her a smirk and held
After the heavy argument, Sophie left him alone and return to their house. Ellen decided to go to his secret underground lair to cool his head off. Emilia and Vox didn’t dare to voice out their concern and just follow their commander.“Emilia, go to Sophie. I want a doctor on standby and look for Sophie’s condition.” Ellen ordered while walking at the hallway.“Yes commander,”“Give her everything she wants, but don’t let her be alone. She needed someone right now.”“I will permit it if she wants to have fresh air, but do not let her leave this place.” Ellen said while he has a dark expression on his face.“Yes, commander.” Emilia said before excusing herself. Ellen continued to walk through where the gym inside the lair is.He opens the door aggressively and his guards who’s inside bowed at him. Ellen ignores them and walk to the mat where his guards are training hand to hand combat.The guards stop what they’re doing and was confused as to why is their commander here, where he rarel
“Marlene! Oh god!” Vox shouted and hide the gun on his back. He pulled a chair beside Marlene’s dead body and lift her body up.Vox struggled to get the rope out of her neck so he grab the rope and pull it from the ceiling. He managed to pull down the rope and carry Marlene’s dead body.He grab a knife from the kitchen and tried to remove the rope from her neck. He successfully did so, and check her pulse. Her body is cold and she’s not breathing anymore.“F*ck!” He immediately stands up and grab his phone in his pocket. His hand trembling while trying to call for Ellen’s number.Ellen pick it up, “Commander,” he started. Ellen didn’t speak and he can sense Vox voice trembling.“She’s dead,” he continued. Ellen was still not responding, “When I got here, she’s already dead.”“She hangs herself and committed suicide,” Vox said while looking at Marlene’s neck with signs of strangling.Vox closed his eyes tightly. "Please, commander! Say something!" he shouted."She killed herself becaus
“Oh god, I killed her,” Sophie said while her hands shaking while clasping it together. “What have I done,” she said while slowly looking up to Ellen.Something inside Ellen’s heart tug at the sight of his wife who’s shaking in fear. “Ellen,” she muttered under her breath.Ellen walks up to her and didn’t mind that Sophie didn’t like him to touch her. He embraces his wife tightly and Sophie sobs. “It’s not your fault, this isn’t your fault, Sophie.”“She did this to herself, you did not kill her,” he said while rubbing her back, trying to calm her down.“Shhh…Sophie please,” he pulls away and cup his wife’s face. “Look at me,”Sophie shook her head in denial, refusing to meet Ellen's gaze. "No... No," she muttered, her voice choked with tears.“Please, love. Look at me,” Ellen pleaded, his heart heavy with anguish as he watched his wife's pain unfold before him.Sophie continued to sob, her eyes tightly shut. Ellen felt a wave of helplessness wash over him as he witnessed her tremblin
"I'll stay here, Boss," Emilia declared. Ellen nodded in agreement. Emilia positioned herself at the front door, discreetly guarding it to prevent any suspicions. It's a precautionary measure, Sophie might get kidnapped again and Ellen might wreak havoc this time.Vox saw Ellen and Sophie beside Marlene’s coffin. He saw how people made comments about Ellen attending his Ex-wife’s funeral and how Sophie being hypocrite.Vox immediately marched towards them and tap Ellen’s shoulders, “Commander,” he whispered, “You’re getting a lot of attention. Would you like to go over there where no one can disturb you?” he said while pointing out the table where it is secluded.Ellen looks at the table he’s pointing out and nodded, “Can you make this people shut up. I don’t want my wife stressing just because people don’t know when to shut up and mind their own business…” Ellen said while throwing daggers at everyone with his cold stares.“Do something about it or I might make them leave this place,
"Have you made sure that Sophia was safe?" Ellen asked while he was on his way to his kingdom. Even though he didn’t want leave Sophie’s side right now, he needs to. Ellen was just grateful that his wife is understanding and forgiving.Ellen sighs and Emilia noticed his weary expression. She looks at his commander and answered. "Yes, commander! Vox is with her right now guarding her. And we added some guards as well, ""Good, then! I don't want any harm to happen to my wife, while I am away. Make sure to have contact with Vox, so when something happens, he could immediately report to us.” Ellen said with a strict voice.Knowing that the biggest threat in his marriage is his in-laws, then it was hard for her to move. Since he doesn't want his marriage to end as awful as his previous marriage."I have mentioned that to Vox already, Sir. I have told him if anything suspicious would happen he would immediately contact me so that I can tell you. As well as every move in the mansion, so we
The meeting about the grand royal wedding was just finished. Ellen let his other ministers leave, and just let his most loyal adviser, Lyric, to stay."I'll send you the budget for the wedding preparations. Ensure that everything they desire meets their expectations," Ellen instructed."I don't want to undermine Sedan or make him a target of ridicule just because he's my brother," Ellen continued, a note of concern in his voice.Lyric's confusion surfaced. "What do you mean, Commander?"Ellen sighed heavily. "I don't want them to endure what Sophie and I faced when we got married. They mocked and ridiculed Sophie simply because she's my wife."Lyric can see her commander feeling burdened by his past experiences. “I understand, Commander,” Lyric replied, her voice softening with empathy.“I will be allocating you the budget and leave everything to you,” Ellen said as he talked to Lyric."Since you are the one that I trusted the most, I think you picture what she wanted to happen in her
