Althea POV

I STARED intently at Blake's cold gaze. Does he know... that I will be working here?

"Do you already know this?" I asked him. Even though I already knew, I still wanted to hear it from his lips.

"What?" he replied, pretending not to understand. I frowned.

"Well! I'm resigning right now!"

"Who? You? Go ahead... I'll visit you in jail."

I was immediately taken aback by his words. He would imprison me. I laughed.

"You can't put me in jail, you idiot."

"And why not? You have a contract to work here for two years."

"And I didn't sign anything."

"I have my own ways. I already know you're resigning... so I've planned everything."

"What! So you're the one who will go to jail!"

"Sorry, wifey..."

"Don't call me that disgusting nickname!"

"Haha... Why? You used to call me Hubby..."

"Shut up!"

I clenched my fist in anger. How dare he? He, who had the audacity to threaten me with imprisonment. No! I need to leave this company as soon as possible, what would I tell Kayzer? Shit!

"I'm leaving whether you like it or not!"

I immediately turned around and took a big step towards the door. I don't want to see him! He's still that bastard from before. I was about to turn the doorknob when he grabbed my wrist and pinned me against the door.

"What are you doing!?" I hissed.

"Where do you think you're going!? Huh!?" He respond.

"Isn't it obvious? I'm leaving!"

"And who said you could?"

"Me!"

"You can't leave this place forever, Althea," he said coldly, staring into my eyes. I almost wanted to close my eyes because his warm breath was hitting my face due to how close he was.

"And you think you can go back to that liar Kayzer? No way!"

"You call him a liar, but who's the real liar between the two of you?" He didn't listen to me as he tightened his grip on my wrists.

"Let go of me, Blake... you're hurting me!"

"Please come back to me, Althea."

I stopped struggling when I heard his soft and pleading voice.

"I need you right now."

I smiled bitterly at him... if he had said this to me back then, I might have felt giddy, but now... I can't explain it.

"Sorry, Blake. I can't go back to you."

"Why!? Because of Kayzer!?" His tone suddenly changed.

"Yes! I have my own family, Blake... and you have a family too. I can't go back to the old me that you tried to fit into your heart." Tears welled up in my eyes. Even though it had been years, it still hurt. Sometimes I even laugh at how foolish I was back then.

"I'm willing to bring back the time I wasted, Althea. I can do everything to bring back the time when you wanted to enter my heart, but right now, I want to enter your heart."

"The past is the past. What's done is done, Blake, and it's not the present. I'm sorry. We've already broken up, and that's the end of our story."

"No, Althea...! You're mine, and you are my wife."
