"I didn't know she is my husband's cousin. I never met her before. So I am shock when she slap me and try to resist. I thought she is one of those who looks decent but actually a theif." Monet tilts her head.

She looks distress but not really pitiful.

She leans on the strong shoulder beside her and grab his hand. The other hand is clenching Isaac's hand that is sitting on her other side.

She was being supported.

She smiles.

This is how it feels to be a winner in life.

She looks up and see the determined look in Ian's eyes.

He looks down and rub her cheeks.

The police is -_-) having a hard time.

He is a professional, of course.

And he handle more than a hundred cases now.

He is aware that this is not a theif case but something else high end/ rich people do.

"Our lawyer will file a different case." When Ian started to speak the police become more serious.

The police officer took a deep breath.

"What?"

Another officer came with a coffee in his hand.

"This dude, doesn't even care about his blood relative."

"Well, can you blame him? Between your cousin or your wife, who would you choose to protect?"

The officer nods when he hears that.

Aya is mad but there is nothing for her to do.

The problem is how did that woman learn about her secret?

Only their family member know.

"Did Ian told her? No. That is impossible." Ian cares about his family than anything else. She believes that Ian will not let anyone learn about her humiliating attempt to be his woman.

She shivers in that thought.

Nobody should learn about it.

Though her feelings is real, she also know that what she wants is something inappropriate and nobody will favorably side with her.

She tears up.

At evening her mother came to take her away.

Monet clench the glass and slowly drink on it.

Ian is looking at her expression.

Isaac is tired from his training and went to sleep earlier.

"I am sorry. Because she is my cousin....."

Monet chewed her lips.

Unsatisfief but she then nod.

"I understand. I can't say no to father-in-law after he bow his head to me. I don't want him to think I am ungrateful and awful daughter."

Ian sit beside her and rub her head.

"I am causing you too much drama because of my family. I am sorry."

Monet looks at Ian.

"You owe me."

Ian smiles.

"Okay. I owe you."

The become quiet in the living room.

Ian is sipping a wine while Monet is drinking water.

Watching an animal themed channel.

The two are thinking, of course not about the tv program.

"So? Are we going to sleep now?"

Monet asks.

Ian coughs then look at Monet.

"We are sleeping together."

"Ah...I know."

Silence.

"It is awkward to say this but I am not against having sex. That is one of my obligation as your wife."

"......yeah..Well..."

"You want it?"

"Of course but...I feel like I am taking too much from you."

Monet smiles.

"Are you planning to throw me away once you find a woman you love?"

"What?"

Ian knit a brow.

Monet remembers the story so he looks at Ian.

He will definitely fall inlove to another woman.

She realizes that it may not be bad to preserve her purity for the correct man.

She will get divorce soon. It is not so bad to remarry and this time, she should be choosing a man for herself.

Someone capable like this man?

"I didn't know what you are thinking but I didn't divorce my first wife. She died. I am not someone to throw my family into chaos. And I promise you that until you treat me and my son fairly, I will be the most loyal husband in thr world."

Monet blinks.

"Oh..?"

"Why do you look so shock?" Ian frowns.

Monet giggles.

"Promises are meant to be broken."

"I..."

"I trust you."

Ian shut up and look at Monet.

"Because you are a man who will sacrifice your self for your love ones."

Ian nods.

"You....you are not so hard to like....maybe...not so hard to love too."

Monet pouts.

"Of course. A princess is meant to be love by all."

"Pfftt-- Okay. I admit you act like a princess sometimes."

"Sometimes?"

Monet eyes widen.

"Yeah. Most of the time you act like a cute rebelling animal."

Ian laughs when Monet glares at him.

'She really resembles a cute rebelling animal.'

Ian is looking at the file in front of him.

Her secretary takes a leave because of her delicate pregnancy.

Ian understandingly gave her an indefinite leave. So for now he is looking for a temporary secretary.

The woman is pretty, no, she is beautiful, fidgeting like that he remember his wife who looks opposite to this girl. If this girl is soft and asking to be protected, his wife is cute and independent like a Queen of her own game.

She is also understanding and.....she is elegant.

Even her way of saying that she farts and it smells bad looks elegant.

It is just crazy.

"Sir?" The woman asks why the President suddenly starts giggling on his own.

Ian clears his throat.

"You are hired. Welcome to the company."

"Thank you sir! I promise I will do my best for you and for the company!"

"I am expecting a job well done from you Ms.Helen."

"Yes! I will do my outmost best!"

The girl says happily with her twinkling eyes.

Ian smiles.

He almost burst into laughter again but held in.

He remembers his wife petty attempt to get even this morning.

'It is so fun to have that kind of wife.......'

Monet is mad.

"Mom?"

Isaac took the blanket Monet gave him. They are in the gym. Tomorrow, Isaac will be able to go back to school.His schedule for training will be after school then.

Monet pouts.

"Your father is becoming more and more outrageous." Her eyes squints and she chewed her lips to show her irritation.

Isaac looks at her.

She knows that Ian didn't put sugar in his coffee so she make him a coffee with 1 spoonful of sugar in it.

Isaac thinks it is petty.

If she really is serious shouldn't she add more sugar?

When he asks his new mom says something cute

'Then how would he be able to drink it?'

"Mom, would you want me to massgae your shoulder?"

Monet is still grumbling but her eyes lit up when he offers.

Monet realize that Isaac's hand is a wonderful gift from.

heaven.

"My son is the best in the world." Monet praise him with a sweet smile in her lips

Isaac thinks that a man who would hurt his mom will be the worst type of man.

"Okay." He swears to protect his mother. For now, he should make her feel good with his shoulder massage.

A/N;

I am ticklish so I can't handle massage.

Wahahhahaha
