"Let me go. I can walk on my own!" yelled Stefani, struggling to be released as she and Arnold were outside the building. The woman shook off her sore hand, a red mark in a circle indicating how tightly the security guards had gripped her. The woman grunted in annoyance, then walked away with Arnold looking grim.Still with pain in her hands, Stefani stomped away and stared vengefully at the building she had just left. "Damn it, we have to go through this," he muttered with his hands clenched. This was so embarrassing, and she had lost so much. It seemed that the more Stefani remembered Marco's face, the more she wanted to hit him hard.But suddenly, Arnold stopped walking and looked at Stefani. This confused Stefani so much that she had to stop and stare back at her lover. Apparently, there was something Arnold wanted to say to him. The man frowned deeply. "You said your ex-husband was a lousy, useless man. How could he have this kind of power? Look, he's even sitting in the leader's
The wind blew strongly and away the side of Marco's hair that had been neatly combed. The sound of waves crashing from the distant sea is faintly audible. The sun was almost down as Marco stood enjoying the view of the beach from the side of the building. Bounded by an iron fence, Marco took a deep breath. The slightly salty air relaxed him a little. The air in the city was not very healthy even though he lived in a housing estate with many oxygen-producing plants.Valoria Island was indeed famous for its magnificent and tranquil beaches. The waves were not too fierce, with large reefs near the land. This made the waves less terrifying as the reef held them back. When viewed from a distance, the large corals looked like small rocks left near the water flow. Marco would love to swim, but it's too late in the afternoon, and he's too tired to swim. At that moment, Marco put his hands in his pockets. When someone suddenly stood by his side with her hair down. Marco glanced at it from the
As the sun had fully set, the moon rose above the sky with its quiet rays. The night is quite dark, as the drizzle has just finished a few minutes ago. This is why there are no stars in the sky. The clouds were still preparing to rain at the right time.An SVU car pulled up in front of a house located in the center of the island. A servant dressed all in black opened the back door with a respectful bow. A black shoe descended slowly, and a person appeared while straightening his black suit jacket after boarding the vehicle.Marco checked his watch and made sure that he was not late for the dinner that his ex-wife had prepared. The man stared ahead, where a house with cream-colored walls and an iron fence looked serene. Garden lights adorned some areas near the entrance, making the atmosphere even more shady. Marco was not mistaken. This was the place for the dinner Stefani had promised him.Marco walked towards the entrance quietly. One by one, his footsteps looked so classy that his
Arnold was completely shocked and widened his eyes. He tried to pull his hand away, but Marco held it firmly. The man held his breath. "How could this have happened?" He glared at the hand that was now in Marco's hand.It seemed Arnold still couldn't believe Marco was still conscious after mixing the anesthetic into his drink. The man should have been unconscious and unable to move his arms or other limbs. He was sure that he had taken a very high dose of the drug.Marco then straightened up, looking at the two people who had been caught trying to make him lose consciousness. "I didn't drink the drink you prepared at all."Marco's eyes looked so calm. He then threw Arnold's hand unceremoniously until the man stepped back. Marco crossed his legs, and his back like this was his own home. "I was just guessing, but it turns out I was right. If your brains are indeed on the level of criminal brains."Arnold growled. The man clenched his fists tightly. "Damn it!" His voice boomed in the qui
It was so quiet. Everyone was silent with such a strange feeling. When she heard Marco's words, Stefani immediately looked down slowly. The woman was silent at first before suddenly laughing and getting louder. "You must be crazy," he said amidst laughter.Stefani rubbed her watery eyes because she felt this was all too crazy. "How can you still joke around in a tense moment like this? I didn't know you were that clueless about serious matters."She then let out a sigh that sounded so heavy. She shook her head several times to ward off the discomfort that kept chasing and haunting her. "So Marco, stop saying nonsense." Until the end, Stefani would not be able to accept that fact. Even though Marco had told her his identity, she would brush it off and act like it was a joke.Marco was still staring at Stefani coldly. Gone was the warm glow that the man used to give his ex-wife. "Do you think I'm lying now?" he asked flatly.Stefani nodded. "Yes, of course. "I know your family, and it's
Marco had just woken up that morning when the sun had risen almost an hour ago. He sat up and pulled back the blanket before pausing long enough to overcome the sleepiness still attacking him. Before then, he walked towards the window and opened it to get some fresh air.The man breathed in slowly, enjoying the rather pleasant morning view from the inn prepared for him. "It's more crowded than I expected," Marco muttered as he realized more people were out this morning. Some carried baskets of fruits and vegetables to go to the market. The natives of the island of Valoria tended to prefer things that were natural and a bit old-fashioned.Marco then walked inside to refresh his body. He had plans to take a walk around here. There were many places he had yet to visit, even though this was his third day on the island of Valoria.Finished cleaning up, Marco quickly walked out. The man was wearing a dark red long-sleeved polo shirt with beige pants. His face looked much fresher and relaxed
"Shut your mouth, you're making too many excuses!" scolded Agnes loudly. The woman was enough to draw attention from the people around her and make the place even more crowded with the curious crowd. The debate involving the guards was always the main topic of the people around, as it could help them figure out the situation. They started whispering, asking each other about what was happening between Agnes and Marco.Agnes turned to the two guards who had been there since she called them. "You guys need to take him immediately before he draws more attention to himself. You'll be in trouble if that happens." The guards looked around and realized that. People were staring and waiting. And what they would do in the future would make people think whether they were good guards or not.Everything Agnes said made Marco sick. The man was cornered just because a woman fell in front of him. "Stop this. "The stalker you're talking about probably doesn't live here."The taller guard nodded. "Yes,
At that instant, the two guards immediately looked at Marco with accusing gazes. "Undoubtedly, you must be an imposter. From that attitude of yours, it's clear that you're someone who can do something dangerous to the people here."The taller guard nodded and agreed. "Yes, it might be what Miss Agnes said earlier if you were a sexual harasser." Instantly, people started commenting in slightly louder voices. This display was like a show that attracted many people.One of the women who was a tourist who happened to be passing by immediately glared. "How creepy. It turns out that behind his gentlemanly face, he's a pervert."Marco heard it all. People were prejudiced against him because of the misunderstanding and unreasonable accusations that had befallen him. Even the guard was already preparing to take out the handcuffs in his hands. "Alright, sir, we have to arrest you right now.""Yes, he should be severely punished for endangering so many women!" supported Agnes in a loud voice.Ma
