Chapter 2

  • The next morning,
  • Cielo woke up and leaned against the headboard.
  • Tyler did not return yesterday night.
  • She felt relieved yet heavy at the same time.
  • It's like a knife is hovering over your head. She couldn't always chop it down, which made her uneasy.
  • -------------------------------------------
  • Cielo went downstairs after she washed her hands. A bodyguard approached her and escorted her to the restaurant.
  • As soon as she walks in, Cielo can see the dining room and kitchen. I happened to see a tall and straight figure exiting the kitchen with breakfast.
  • Cielo turned around and intended to flee when she realized the guy was "Troy," but the man had already made a sound. "Cousin-in-law. "Hello and good morning."
  • His voice is enchanting. But just softly.
  • The bodyguard next to him shook his head. Are you playing a game with the young woman, Master?
  • When Cielo saw him, she was appalled ( I had no idea what his cousin did at his cousin's place every day.)
  • "Good morning." She pushed her glasses down. Cielo turned to face the bodyguard behind him after finishing her speech. "Are your young masters still not here?"
  • The bodyguard cast a cautious gaze at Tyler, who was expressionless and said gibberish with his eyes wide. "Master has lately become ill, so he decided to stay in the hospital,"
  • Cielo appeared ridiculous on the surface, but since she had been restrained by her mother Helene since she was a toddler, she couldn't take the spotlight away from her brother and sister. That's why she keeps her actual strength hidden.
  • The bodyguard, of course, could not dupe her with such poor falsehoods.
  • But she nodded as if she understood. "Can I go visit him now?"
  • "It hasn't been particularly convenient lately." The bodyguard continued to lie with ease.
  • Tyler doesn't appear to like her very much. He doesn't even want to look at her.
  • Tyler placed food on the table and said, "Eat breakfast."
  • When Cielo arrived, she saw that there was no staff inside the villa, so he prepared this meal.
  • "It's because you're terrified of me giving you medicine?" Tyler leaned in closer, his eyes filled with unending gloom, and he was terrified when he looked at it.
  • Cielo took a half-step back, saying, "Thank you for your breakfast, but I'm not hungry."
  • She quickly turned around and exited when she finished speaking.
  • Cielo ran into a bodyguard who had picked her up the day before in the hallway. "Could you kindly bring me down the mountain? I'm returning to Hill's place to collect something."
  • Cielo didn't bring anything with her when she arrived here yesterday. She needed to return to retrieve some clothing and other items. When she arrived, she realized that the villa was constructed on a mountaintop, and it was long-distance to get out of the automobile and drive around the mountain.
  • The bodyguard didn't respond right away, instead of looking behind her.
  • When she looked back, Cielo noticed "Troy" appear at some point.
  • He quickly rushed up, his hands in the pockets of his suit trousers. "Is my cousin-in-law planning on going home to fetch something? Why bother people when I can just provide it?"
  • His arm curled over her shoulder as his voice faltered.
  • Cielo shook his hand in disdain, saying, "No need."
  • She couldn't figure out why this guy was telling her she was unattractive yesterday and why he was bothering her like this today.
  • "Let Young Master send you, Young Mistress." In a timely way, the bodyguard on the other side stated.
  • ---------------------------------------------
  • Cielo was eventually returned to Hill's residence by "Troy." assistance.
  • "Cousin's body feels amazing..." Tyler utters while pressing towards her ear.
  • She was scared he might do something unusual, so she had to accompany him into the car.
  • Cielo tugged on the seat belt securely and gazed straight ahead without squinting, without giving "Troy" a second glance.
  • Tyler's dark eyes sparkled with excitement when he saw her like way.
  • This new wife is not attractive, but she is pretty respectable.
  • He just planned to tease her yesterday, but her reply was so amusing that he wanted to keep playing the game.
  • ---------
  • Tyler's black sedan soon came to a halt in front of Hill Villa.
  • Tyler reached over and carefully clicked the button on Claire's seat belt clasp just as she was about to unfasten it. The seat belt was unbuckled with a snap.
  • His attractive face was there in front of Cielo. Despite her calm demeanor, she couldn't help but flush, her heart racing. Her eyes were initially dead, yet there was a glimmer of panic in them.
  • His face was enough to make any woman's heart skip a beat.
  • However, as Cielo remembered his heinous actions the day before, her look returned to normal.
  • For all, he was simply a wealthy snob who lusted after his cousin's wife. So what if he was good-looking?
  • She put her spectacles up and elevated her head. "I'm getting out of the vehicle," she said, her face expressionless.
  • Tyler's pupils constricted. In an instant, a sensation of danger appeared to emanate from him.
  • Sensing the shift in him, Cielo promptly opened the vehicle door. However, before she could get out of the vehicle, Tyler grabbed her hand and held it.
  • He had a large frame. As a result, Tyler seemed to be cradling her in his arms with his long arms over Cielo.
  • He stared at her crystal-clear eyes through her eyeglasses. "Shouldn't you thank me for sending you back?" he replied, with a concealed intention in his tone.
  • She lowered her head, a timid expression on her face, and said, "Thank you."
  • They had never worried her when she behaved the way in front of her relatives. As a result, she believed 'Troy' would treat her similarly.
  • Tyler's eyes narrowed as he looked at her slightly pursed pink lips. "It seems that I can only take things into my own hands since you sounded insincere."
  • He was taken aback by how rosy and soft her lips seemed despite her dreary complexion. It enticed him to try it.
  • Why should he be hesitant since she was his lawful wife?
  • He then leaned in and kissed her on the lips.
  • Without warning, Cielo felt the soft and cold lips on her lips.
  • She opened her eyes in surprise as she looked at the enlarged face in front of her. Cielo reached out to shove him away, only to find his hands securely gripped around hers.
  • Tyler was pleased with her response. He drew one of his hands away from her and removed her spectacles, displaying her beautiful and brilliant eyes.
  • She seemed considerably more attractive without her eyeglasses.
  • Cielo's cheeks had turned bright red. She couldn't believe he was so brazen as to take advantage of her in front of Hill Villa!
  • After a time, his lips reluctantly left hers. He remarked, in a forceful tone, "Stop wearing glasses from now on. Otherwise, every time I see you, I'll kiss you."
  • He couldn't get enough of her soft, luscious lips and couldn't wait to taste them again.
  • Tyler consciously dropped his voice but emphasized his tone as he spoke the second part of the statement. Simultaneously, he assessed her unethically.
  • He resembled a ferocious beast protecting its own area, signaling an invasion.
  • A female voice shattered the stillness in the vehicle just as Cielo was going to scold him for being shameless.
  • "Cielo?"
  • Cielo instantly turned to peek out the partially open window.
  • Helene opened her eyes in a mix of disbelief and wrath. "What exactly are you doing here?"
  • Cielo's fingers tightened as a flicker of terror flashed over her gaze.
  • It was the day following her wedding, and her mother had watched such a sight in front of her own home...
  • Helene glanced around, not wanting to disgrace herself. She made a long expression and said to Cielo, "Come down," after checking, there was no one there.
  • Cielo got out of the vehicle by opening the door.
  • Helene hauled her inside the villa as soon as she got out of the vehicle.
  • Tyler unexpectedly put his head out the vehicle window. He massaged his lips with his fingers and added nonchalantly, "I'll be waiting for you, Cielo," with a devilish smile.
