Even though the newlyweds escaped the church, Trisha was sure that they would return for the reception. She was making rounds to see the food served to the guests, but she only heard everyone discussing a few things about the wedding. They talked about the venue, the other guests, Delta’s angelic entrance… the children, the wedding vows, and the willful escape.Some matrons and maidens gossiped about the children a lot. It was evident in their vows that Delta’s little angels were not Wolfram’s children. However, the two kids would say ‘Daddy Wolfie’ every time.“Trisha, when are they returning?” Janelle stealthily went to her side and offered her a drink as an excuse. “We still have to tell Delta about the thing.”“Psh, do you think I’m not ready? Delta already knows about the plan.” Trisha huffed and still took the drink Janelle gave her. She sipped on it and waved her hand to make Janelle scarce. They shouldn’t be caught talking, or else people might get the wrong idea.Just as Jane
Feet shuffled as someone ran up to the main lobby. There were giggles in her mouth as she ran around like a small child let loose in their new house. It was just that… it was not their new house. Delta just incredibly missed the majestic visage of the Blue Moon Estate.Instead of having the honeymoon right after the wedding, Delta asked to have it moved to another month—or even at the end of the year. After all, Wolfram was still undergoing physical therapy for his body. She also needed to catch up with work to snatch Zenon’s seat on the board.Nah, Trisha knew how to be kind even if she was like an old witch. Delta long forgot to zero in on Zenon’s seat. Yuri should just pick someone else’s.“Delta, aren’t you a little too giddy?” Wolfram laughed a little as he called out from the door. He was also caught perusing the door of his real house. Ever since they received that threat toward Eine and Foxley, they had relocated to the Willow House. It was nothing but a safe house prepared f
The noon sun was almost at its peak, but Delta was still running across the streets. She held her worn-out blue coat against her body that cold day, and her breath huffed as she made her way to where the people were. The inauguration of the new building was scheduled today, and she might just make it if she ran faster and evade the incoming people better.“Over there! Don’t lose her!” A man pressed on his ear microphone and ran off to intercept her. At his words, seven of them emerged from the thin crowd Delta just passed.“Oh, no… there’s more of them today!” Delta huffed as she glanced behind her. She didn’t need to see a uniform on them to know which men were chasing her.She then looked up ahead. When she saw a pair of men moving furniture into an alley, she picked up her knee-length skirt and held it to her waist. Then she leaped across the long table like it was just a simple hurdle. The moving men grew shocked, but they were trampled by three men who were chasing Delta.The wom
Delta took a deep breath, but she coughed out from the pollen. Before she stepped into the podium to read the cue cards, she made sure to dust her face and hair. She also turned to pat the pollen off Wolfram, secretly taking the cue cards the man gave her. For some reason, Delta found herself faced with a lot of microphones and cameras. It even felt like the people’s faces morphed into machines.She glanced at the cue card and made a quick skim at them. Then she smiled sweetly as she began with her task. “Greetings, people of my dear city. On behalf of Mr. Colton, let me show our gratitude for your undying support and patronage to Colton Industries…”“…Mr. Colton… I didn’t hear about you having a wife before.” The speaker went to whisper to his boss’s son. “What is her name?”“I don’t know. This is the first time I’ve seen her.” Wolfram hid his frown at the sweetness shown by the strange girl who ran into him.“But didn’t you say she is…?” The speaker was taken aback. However, when Wo
The door broke down as the man fitted himself through it. The children hugged their mother, and Delta only used her lithe body to protect them. She would take out her stun gun, but a single charge wouldn’t bring down a big man like that.However, the big man retreated and stood at the side. A man in an expensive suit walked in from behind the big person. He had long dark hair tied in a ponytail and hidden behind his collar, and his eyes were as green as Delta’s. The most defining feature of his face was the ugly scar on his cheekbone.“Delta, just stop. You’ll only get yourself hurt if you escape again.” He shook his head at the defiant look on her face. He then moved his head to meet Eine’s gaze through the gap under her mother’s arm. “Oh, are those Foxley and Eine? They look really cute.”“Carolus, please pretend you didn’t see me here.” Delta took a deep breath and glanced at the other men the man brought to fetch her. “You don’t have to take me back.”“Are you crazy? I’ve been doi
When she figured that a bigshot came to collect her and her kids, Delta had a feeling she would soon find that strange man looking to keep her as a captive. However, she didn’t expect Wolfram to buy off even the oranges from her humble stall. He was even eating them to attest to their quality.He then gestured for the woman and the kids to come closer. “I heard some guys already got to you before my team had. Are you scared?”“Not anymore.” Delta only glanced at the captain before walking her twins to the kitchen island. She lifted Foxley to a seat first before seating Eine next. “Are you going to hunt down the person who escaped? Can you not kill him?”“Someone escaped?” Wolfram lifted a brow and looked at the captain, who only nodded. The captain was not even ready to report that the leader escaped them easily.The man just frowned at the captain before bringing his gaze back to the two kids. He pushed the bowl of peeled orange slices to them. “I already finished two oranges. Do you
There was no music in the wind, so Delta sang a tune she knew how to dance to. It was a classical piece, and it was as if she had been dancing to it for a long time. She was only making a ‘dum-da-dum’ noise to substitute with the instruments as she made her turns. “I figured you’d be more against staying with a stranger,” Wolfram commented as he only stood to let her spin around him. “My kids are scared. I need to find a safer space for them to calm down.” Delta had a smile on her face. “A mansion has always been safer than the streets.” Wolfram frowned. “Calm down? You’re still going to escape me?” Delta only hummed in agreement. It’s just that she didn’t look like telling him bad news. It was so strange, but she continued dancing like she was not being questioned.
It was so strange. Why did this woman want his clothes instead? He figured that was what most women wanted to wear. No matter. He just walked out of the bathroom after taking the red dress. Wolfram called over a maid and gave an order that froze the maid.“Leave this in my room. Get a change for me that will also fit Delta.” That was what he said, and it was pretty straightforward. He just didn’t know why his maid stared at his face.“Why are you still standing here?” Wolfram frowned at the maid.The maid took the red dress and asked, “Master, the matron bought women’s sweaters and other things for Ms. Hart. Does she really need to be in your clothes?”Wolfram slid his eyes to the side, but he couldn’t possibly open t
