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
Instantly, everyone fell silent, looking at each other in surprise. Of course, everyone recognized the man. He was Don, the manager of the True Home Inn that Marco had said he was staying at two days ago. And if that man called Marco sir, even bringing him a new access card, this could only mean one thing. It was about Marco's position that he was staying at the super expensive inn.Seeing this extremely confusing situation, Agnes naturally made the first move. The woman cleared her throat and spoke in such a soft voice. "Sir, you look so panicked, what's wrong?" Agnes' heart beat faster, half hoping that her guess was wrong. If it turned out that Marco had such an important position, then she might get into trouble.Don chuckled a little, then inclined his head slightly towards Marco. "Yes, this Mr. Marco owns the most expensive building here. The status is more than VVIP, and I feel very panicked about being late in handling her complaint." The man said this was no big deal, and eve
Agnes was terrified when she heard Marco's rebuttal. She felt her knees trembling, and her vision was becoming unfocused. The woman swallowed repeatedly, thinking of the money she had spent to stay here. Her entire savings had been drained just to be on the island of Valoria. If she were kicked out, one of her dreams would be dashed. Meeting great and famous people would only be her wishful thinking. It would all be gone in an instant.Agnes had not gone here for no purpose or just for a vacation. She had nothing to lose if all her money was gone, but she could meet a bigger man. It would be a guarantee for her later life. Agnes was sure she wasn't bad and could attract people's attention.And if she got kicked out, her depleted savings wouldn't provide any security. Her life was going to be difficult, and she had nothing left. Agnes hasn't even found a great guy yet. She was still with Dion, which was not enough, and it would be sad if she didn't get more.Finally, after taking a dee
