Because it was getting late, Jack finally decided to go home. He didn't want to make Anne sleep too late because of his presence. While on the way back to his house, Jack couldn't stop smiling. He was very happy when he heard that Anne had started to plan revenge to Leon for his treatment to her before, even though actually, deep inside, Jack didn't want this to happen. However, because Anne continued to feel disappointed and hatred at the same time, he finally gave an idea to Anne to vent all her frustration in her heart by making Leon and Steffi feel the same way she felt before.

"I hope that by doing this, you will get better even though I don't really want this to happen. I want you to start a new life with me here, Anne. But because you still can't forget their treatment, maybe this is the best way to treat the pain in your heart," Jack said quietly as he increased the speed of his car as it sped through the darkness of the night.

​​

After Jack came home, Anne immediately went up to the tenth floor where her unit was. She did not realize that the tied dress made by Jack had not been released until finally a small child scolded her in the elevator.

"Sorry, Miss, my child talks too much," said a young mother softly apologizing to Anne while covering the mouth of her son who was only seven years old.

"It's okay, Ma'am, it means your child is very smart," said Anne kindly, trying to cover up her embarrassment because a child had reprimanded her.

"Once again, I'm sorry if it makes you feel uncomfortable, Miss," added the young mother again. She felt very bad for Anne because her child had spoken out loud commenting on Anne's dress.

Anne just smiled at the words of the young mother in front of her. Soon, the elevator stopped on the seventh floor. The young mother, who was carrying a stroller with her four months old second child in it, and the seven year old boy, finally got out of the elevator, leaving Anne alone/ When the elevator had not yet completely closed, Anne could hear the young mother was scolding her first child who had commented on her dress.

"Looks like Jack is right, I should not wear a sexy dress like this," Anne thought softly as she touched her thigh where the hem of the dress she was wearing ended.

Not long after that, Anne got out of the elevator because she had reached the tenth floor. Because it was late, Anne then accelerated her footsteps to get to her room.

"I finally got home. Today was really fun," said Anne quietly as she stepped into the bathroom to clean her body before going to bed. When she got to the bathroom, Anne then took off the beautiful dress she had bought since she was living in Newcastle-Upon-Tyne. .

After removing all the clothes attached to her body, Anne then stepped into the bathtub that had been filled with warm water. She quickly laid down in the bath, enjoying the pleasant sensation of soaking in the rose petals she had brought from the shop. While washing her body with rose water, Anne smiled again as she remembered Leon's expression, which was like a fool when she met him earlier in the garden.

"This is just the beginning, Leon. The real game will only start tomorrow, and as for you, Steffi, enjoy your fun days, because soon, you will often cry when you see your husband is more attentive to me," said Anne quietly. Her eyes glistened with emotion as she remembered about Leon and Steffi.

The Boltons

Aaron, who locked himself in his room since he came home with Gary, had not had dinner. This made the servants worry. They already knew that their master had a history of chronic ulcer disease. Therefore, they now looked confused when they repeatedly knock on Aaron's door and didn't get an answer.

"What do we do? If Mr. Daniel finds out that we can't remind him his meal schedule, our young master could be in danger," said a maid, looking frightened.

"I know, that's why we shouldn't ..."

Clicked!

The door to Aaron's room suddenly opened from the inside, which made the young servants startled.

"Young master." shrieked three servants who were in front of Aaron's room.

"What are you doing in front of my room so late at night?" Aaron asked curtly, staring at the three servants in front of him.

"W-we were planning to inform you to have dinner, Sir," answered one of the most senior maids quickly.

"I'm not hungry, you guys just take it away," said Aaron quietly refusing dinner brought by his servants.

"Sorry, Sir, we have received a message from Mr. Daniel and Doctor Robin to remind you of your meal schedule, Sir. So we will not leave before you eat your dinner," said the maid named Katy firmly. Katy was the most senior maid in Aaron's house. In fact, she was already working at the place when Aaron's parents were still alive.

Hearing the name of Daniel and Doctor Robin mentioned by the maid, Aaron was seen sighing while scratching his head, which was not itchy. As he was not in the mood to argue, Aaron then invited his maids to come in and bring the food that was already on the trolley. The three servants immediately pushed the trolley into Aaron's super large room. Katy then deftly moved the plates of food on the trolley onto Aaron's empty work table.

"Okay, you can go out now," said Aaron quietly, shooing the three servants out of his room.

"We will stay here to watch you eat this food, Sir," replied Katy firmly.

"I'll definitely eat them, Katy, don't you worry," Aaron said firmly.

"Well, then please eat, Sir," said Katy quietly, as she pulled out a chair to invite him to sit down.

Seeing the three servants insisted on staying in the room, Aaron finally relented. He chose to sit on the chair that Katy had prepared and started eating the food that was already served in front of him. When Aaron started to eat, Katy and the other two maids smiled. They were finally able to carry out the task given by Daniel. Before Daniel left for Northampton, he had told the maids at Aaron's house to make sure that Aaron ate on time. He also advised the maids to mention the name of Doctor Robin, Aaron's personal doctor, if Aaron refused to eat.

Fifteen minutes later, Aaron had finished the dinner that had been prepared by his maids. Anger turned out to make him hungry.

"Are you satisfied?" said Aaron curtly as he put the glass on the table.

"Sorry, Sir, we are forced to do this for your own good and your health, Sir. Since you have finished your dinner, then we will take our leave now," replied Katy softly with a smile.

"Dear God, why are you so obedient to that jerk Daniel?" Aaron fiercely irritated.

Katy and her two friends could only smile at Aaron's words. They chose to remain silent as they tidied Aaron's plates back on the trolley and left the desert that Aaron had not touched.

"Please excuse us, Sir, and good night." Katy said goodbye to Aaron as she closed the door to Aaron's room when they were leaving.

"Good night," Aaron replied curtly.

After his servants left, Aaron then got up from his chair and walked to the balcony of his room. He opened the large window in his room wide. Because the night sky was clear, Aaron could see a row of stars that appeared in the sky.

"Why did you do this to me, Anne? Why did you have to come and steal my heart? Is this the reason you rejected the proposal I asked you before? Are you really a widow? What other secrets are you still hiding from me, Anne?" Aaron muttered softly as he looked up at the sky as he thought about Anne again.
