Cornelia said. “What if something happens? You’re leaving me all this money you really want me to spend it with

other men?”

Marcus said “Don’t talk nonsense!”

Comelia said “You always knew who was after you didn’t you?

He knew he couldn’t hide anything from her, she was too smart So, he admitted it, “Yeah.”

Comelia asked, “You can’t tell me?”

Marcus nodded. “I dont want you to worry”

Comelia said “You think not telling me will stop me from worrying? If you don’t tell me, Fil just imagine the worst.

We’re married, and you said that honesty is the most important thing between a husband and wife Why can’t you

be honest with me?”

Marcus, after listening to her, slowly but firmly said a name. “Brennen Hartley”

“So it really is him?” This answer was both unexpected and expected for Comelia

Brennen- the former head of the Hartley Group, Marcus’s biological father, and the man Marcus personally sent to

jail twelve years ago

“Twelve years ago, I wasn’t even of age, and that incapable man was no match for me. Do you think he, after

spending ten years in prison, could pose any threat to me now? Marcus slowly paced around Cornelia and lacked

the office door with a click

Cornelia turned around. “What are you locking the door for?”

Marcus approached her and pulled her into his arms, “Because all I want to do right now is hold you!”

His grip was so strong, as if he wanted to crush her into his body

Buried in his chest, Cornelia could hear his frantic heartbeat. “You’re okay now, right?”

Marcus, being such a mentally strong person, should’ve been able to overcome his claustrophobia once he left the

confined space.

“I’m fine now” Marcus wasn’t surprised that Cornelia, being the sharp woman she was, noticed his abnormal

reaction in the elevator

What surprised him was that even with other people around, Cornelia didn’t hesitate to throw herself at him,

clumsily reassuring him that she was there and he didn’t need to be afraid in that moment, the confined space

made it hard for him to breathe, as if death was just around the corner. But her soft voice pulled him back from the

brink

She gave him warmth and showed him the light again.

Cornelia asked, “Was it claustrophobia?”

He nodded. “Yeah”

That tiny “yeah” felt like a bullet piercing Cornelia’s heart, “Is it because of your childhood?”

He didn’t answer her question Instead, he buried his face in the crook of her neck, nuzzling against her It tickled,

but Cornelia didn’t pull away.

After a while, she heard his hoarse voice, “Comelia.”

Feeling his unease, she immediately wrapped her arms around his waist, “I’m here. I’ve always been here.”

He said. “I don’t want to talk about the past”

“If you don’t want to talk about it, then we won’t. It’s okay” Cornelia said. If Marcus didn’t want to talk about it,

Cornelia wouldn’t push.

Something so horrible must have happened in his past to affect Marcus, a man with such a strong mentality, this

way. It was probably much worse than she could ever

imagine
