Anthony awoke slightly less shaken, but her scent was still present. He wants to be with her in this world of his hidden desire. He brushed his face with slightly trembling fingers, and this girl was even haunting his dreams. His face darkened as he checked his message.

Wonton was attempting to sabotage his deal. He had enough of this scumbag.

He took a step forward and stretched his muscles. It had been a long and arduous night. He was, however, in a good mood and had a lot of positive energy today. Why?? What matters is that he is happy.

Bella had been avoiding him since she had poured all of her love into him this morning while he was fast asleep. Her heartbeats were racing as she sat down on the couch. Did he notice her? She dialled Summer's number as a diversion.

Summer! "How are you doing?" She was fiddling with her dress's hem.

"You have a psychic ability." I'm throwing a baby shower, and I'd like to enlist your assistance as my Baby's Godmother. Nathaniel also wants Anthony King to come. But because these knuckleballs are still fighting, bring your man to my party this weekend, which is in four days."

Bella was still undecided about herself and Anthony's status; she didn't know if he would show up or not. When she heard footsteps, she was thinking about food and party themes. She hung up, turned around from her seated position, and noticed Anthony approaching.

He wore his suit when he came down the stairs. He was adjusting the timepiece on his wrist. It was around two o'clock. Going to the office once more? But it was already late, and who was she to intervene?

She had a question for him about the party. She has a unique way of bringing up this subject with him. Summer was throwing a party for both of them, and they were both invited. She took a step forward to speak with him face to face about the situation. But she lost her balance and fell down, her foot stuck in the carpet.

Suddenly, two arms encircled her and held her tightly. Her blushing had turned her red, and her traitorous heart was beating again.

Stay with me, damned body. Don't get carried away with his muscles.

He snarled, "Are you trying to get hurt again?" She took a breath and flushed. What the hell is going on here?

"What's wrong with you, Mr scary?" she asked, her gaze returning to him.

He turned away from her and said, "Nothing." As he gently strengthens her.

She was taken aback. There will be no debate or lecture. She wasn't prepared for what was about to happen.

"Summer and Nathaniel are holding baby shower they invited us you coming, Right? We were the ones she requested. Four days later, we are invited. Are you going to join us?" she enquired.

He remained silent during her conversation. He didn't even bother to look at her. But his phone rang, and he was too preoccupied with it to talk or answer her two questions.

"Yes, Anna, set up that meeting; we're flying to France tonight, and I'd like to close that deal this week." He walked out of the living room with his keys in his hand.

Okay.

So he's being a complete jerk, not even acknowledging her presence, and he doesn't seem to care about her feelings or reputation among her family and friends. Bella was enraged, and she was not pleased with his abrupt change of behaviour.

Her phone slammed into the coffee table. She couldn't believe what he was saying. He was a jerk and a certified jerk, but his level was raised to the next level. But she was a badass in her own right. Enough with his obnoxiousness.He was fine with going away for a week. She is capable of handling her own affairs.

She pulled out her phone and dialled her old gang's number.

X X

Sarah squealed with delight as she hugged Bella. They had not seen each other in such a long time.

Mira and Summer were also present. They were sitting in the same spot as before.

CAFE BLUE MOON.

Bella was relieved to have arrived. It was great to reconnect with your old friends. When they graduated from college, they literally stopped hanging out. They were preoccupied with life's complexities. She sarcastically remarked, "Welcome to adulthood."

"How's Anthony doing?" Mira inquired as she sipped her coffee.

"Same as always, cold and frosty," she said as she slurped her massive milkshake. It can only be fixed by Mark. But she knew deep down that he was a gentle soul with a warm heart.

"I'm glad you and Lucas are doing well. What happened to him?" Bella looked around, but he was nowhere to be found.

"He is employed in the electronic and electrical supply industry. He has a strange fascination with light and thunder. As a result, he works for a company that monitors natural disasters. You're familiar with storm chasers and weather and storms." Mira shook her head.

They were reminiscing about old times and planning the upcoming party. Mira stiffened and tensed as she approached the entrance.

Bella turned around and saw a beautiful girl with a platinum stacked haircut. She was absolutely stunning. The way Sarah was staring at that mystery girl made her feel uneasy.

"Can you tell me who she is?"

"My younger sister. Lisa." Mira replied in hushed tones.

Bella was perplexed. What exactly was going on?

"Hello, ladies," Lisa said as she sat with them. Bella piqued her interest.

"Hi. My name is Lisa "She gave her a friendly smile. She was a lovely young lady.

"Bella," she responds with a shake of her hand. Why was this girl making her friend tense and rigid?

Bella's ring finger caught her attention.

"Oh! "You've tied the knot."

"Yes I married Anth-"

Summer cut in, "OK, let's talk about the party, what are we going to do?" Jump back and forth between her and Lisa's conversation.

Bella was perplexed. Something wasn't quite right.

Bella nearly added every sweet available on the planet to the list of foods they were making again.

It had been about an hour since the door was opened to announce the arrival of new customers. They were a group of adolescent girls chatting about their idols and crushes in the entertainment world.

"They're the ones. Oh my goodness, these two hunks together. Take a look at Anthony and Bruce, for example. They're so adorable." They squealed with delight.

Bella gave them a friendly smile. As a result, Mr. King is extremely popular among females. Warmth filled her as she smiled in her head.

Lisa stood up and smashed their phone, glaring at them before she even realised what was going on.

"Go study instead of obsessing over celebrities."

Those girls were terrified and fled.

Uncomfortably, Bella shifted. Lisa reverted to a sweet girl after seeing what she had seen. You're kidding, right? Just a few seconds ago, she was terrifying. Is she schizophrenic?

"She has had a crush on Anthony since she was in college. She had his poster, interviews, and cutouts adorning her entire room and closet." Sarah whispered something in Bella's ear.

Oh, my goodness! Her friends' reunion was not what she had hoped for.

Right now, Anthony was in a meeting discussing department-store revenue from across the country. He was in town to secure a contract for diamond mining in the region.

He wasn't himself, though. He was constantly checking his phone or looking at his watch.

Anna was keeping a close eye on him. He was behaving strangely. Even when they were on their way to France in their private plane. He also forgot his belongings at the airport. He was forgetting lots of things today.

He'd yelled at her three times in a row and was still behaving arrogantly. His demeanour was icy and gloomy. Something had gone wrong. And she assumed that a certain blonde was to blame for his erratic behaviour.

"Are you all right?" she inquired.

He grunted, "Hmm."

This isn't going to work. She attempted to inquires of him. But he continues to ignore her.

"Wonton is causing us problems again, so we need to take this deal."

"There will be an auction, with a rare black ruby necklace on display. Wonton wants it at all costs, according to my insider."

Even Anna shivered as Anthony smirked; perhaps this is why no one wants to mess with Kings.

"So we're going to take it."

He took a step forward and checked his phone. There has been no communication from her for sixteen hours. There isn't a single message.

They had no idea that they were both suffering from the separation and being separated from each other.

X-X

Wonton tossed his file aside as he gazed out the window. From his high office building, he could see the city lights and a mesmerising view of the surroundings.

But he was dissatisfied. He'd already lost one contract to Anthony King. He clenched his teeth, knowing that King Bastard stood in his way. He wanted to suffocate him, but he couldn't find any flaws in him.

When his phone rang, it was his business partner Milo Dagger on the other end. He'd sent a photo of the most stunning woman he'd ever seen. His eyes were covered in lust. But who was she, exactly? Is he giving her another of his employees? Blossom Club was his business. However, he was involved in a variety of illegal activities, including drug trafficking, girl trafficking, and gambling.

The next message appeared out of nowhere.

"She is the lifeline of King's only heir, Bella Anthony King."

Wonton snarls, That jerk's wife is absolutely stunning. He gave a sneering smile. The stars had finally aligned in his favour. He had no idea Anthony had hidden her from the rest of the world.

It was getting dark. The sky was dark and the sun was about to set purple. Bella was alone in the mansion, which was completely silent.

She was missing someone in particular. She despised the house's eerie silence. She was missing his lecture, as well as their squabbles and fights.

She sighed. What happened to you?

She didn't eat her dinner. She wasn't in the mood to eat. Her mind was still churning through various scenarios, one of which included him. Elizabeth was taken aback. Madame had never missed an opportunity to eat before.

"However, I baked a chocolate cake."

Bella paused, her thoughts drifting back to the night he baked her suger less cake. She started crying again all of a sudden.

Elizabeth was in a panic.

"So, what happened? Tell me if you're in pain. Is it necessary to call an ambulance?"

"He once baked a large, delicious chocolate cake for me late at night. What happened to that cold-blooded jerk? I'm stuck here. Isn't he aware that I'd like him to come to Summer's baby shower? It's not like I miss his jerkiness "She sobbed.

Elizabeth's grin was hidden behind her hand.

Ah! Love at a young age. Her sightings of her Young Master and Madame were a blessing.

"He'll return. If you don't eat, you won't be able to fight him." She placed her plate on the table in front of her.

"You are correct." Bella began eating in order to gain strength for when he returned. She's thrashing him mercilessly.

Anthony has been in France for one day. The rare necklace was auctioned off tonight. He was in the midst of a live auction. He examined the necklace. His grin was wide.

"Finally, I'd like to present this historic work of art. According to legend, this necklace belonged to a celestial princess from another realm who came to earth to find her true love."

People were bidding, but Anthony remained silent.

Wonton suddenly stood up. Everyone fell silent when they heard "2,00,000." The MC swallows his saliva and clears his throat. "Is there anyone else?"

"Yep! 1,000,000,00 "Finally, Anthony said something.

It was insane that he was paying ten times the value of the item. However, money was no longer an issue for him. He was determined to beat Wonton.

"Nobody? As a result, Mr. King is the new owner of this necklace."

Anthony noticed a strange cruel smile on Wonton's face after the party. He cheered him up by raising his glass. Has he gone insane? What was he doing cheering him on?

Did he realise Wonton had his sights set on one of the King's greatest treasures, Bella?

X-X.

Anthony returned to New York before the day of the baby shower, but Bella had no idea.

Anna was relieved to be back; she had missed Silas, who had called her the night before to wish her a safe flight home.

Silas was waiting for her on the doorsteps when she returned. He was invited in by her. They had shared breakfast and he was now ready to go to work.

Anna had bought him a lovely neck scarf from France, and winter was just around the corner.

She examined the scarf draped across the couch.

"I have a present for you. You want it?"She felt embarrassed.

Silas took a breath and paused. He was not the type of person who enjoyed receiving gifts or being surprised. He can, however, break his few rules for her.

"Sure."

"I've got a scarf for you," Anna said. She proudly displays the bright pink scarf she purchased for him. Pink was a feminine colour, but she wanted to stake a claim on him so that others would notice that he had a girlfriend.

Her fingers began to tremble as her heart beat faster and faster. She quickly closed her eyes, continued to tell herself to relax, and then wrapped the scarf around his neck after a brief pause.

Still, her fingers wouldn't move the way she wanted them to because her heart was in disarray, so she fumbled around for a while before assisting him with the fastening.

She took a step back, afraid to look him in the eyes. "It's finished."

Silas' body had become stiff, unbeknownst to her. He awoke from his daydream when she took a step back, coughed, straightened his face, and calmly said to her, "Thank you." he stared at her with deep eyes.

"I'm wearing your bracelet," Anna smiled. She demonstrates her wrist and bracelet.

"Good," he said as he drew closer to her and kissed her passionately as if there was no tomorrow.

At first, the kiss was gentle, but it quickly became aggressive and harsh. The moment was filled with the sensation of not seeing each other. However, they were huffing and puffing.

As he took a deep breath, he pressed his forehead against hers. His cheek was tingling from her breath. He drew his eyes shut.

Now that she was back in his arms, he was at ease.

Anna's right hand slipped over his back and squeezed his right cheek on the back before they could react.

With a sigh of relief, Anna exhaled deeply. She was desperate to die. She was groping him openly. She had the heart of an evil person, but not the courage. She was apprehensive about giving him the scarf.

But she pines for his seductive self. Where else would she have had the guts to take him out? She thought she had a lot of guts.

Her little heart jumped for joy again when she realised he didn't refuse her touch on his Butt. Silas did not dismiss her proposal.

"I'm getting ready to leave." As he walked away, he was red and flushed. Her heart puffed up like a swarm of warm butterflies.

"So you want to see my butterflies?" she bit her lower lips.

Silas was stunned and unable to respond. Anna squeezed his ass out of the air, which he had not expected. Neither his military training nor his deathly missions taught him this. He had faced many foes before, but this was a first for him.

the other side in her apartment Anna, She fell on the bed, covered her head with the quilt, and rolled around happily, thinking about this.

Bella was startled to notice a red Ferrari 8 parked on the porch. Anthony had returned. She, on the other hand, chose to remain calm.

Meanwhile, Anthony had completely forgotten about her that day. She'll have to come up with something to get him to talk to her again.

X-X

"At night, we'll land in the target area and eliminate the threat right away. Okay, I'll take charge of the mission." Silas was assigned a new mission to combat terrorism.

He was in charge of the best assassins military squad in the country, all of whom were willing to die for their country. They all adore their captain, but something unusual caught their attention today.

Captain appeared deathly and cold, but his bright pink scarf  was an odd scene on him. They were about to embark on a top-secret mission.

"Sir. Is it necessary to wear a scarf?"

"No," Silas replied.

His group was perplexed.

X-X

Bella took the book and began wandering around Anthony, who was hungry and ready to eat; she was obviously hesitant to give up when she saw him finally come down. "Anthony, you've returned. Why don't we go to Summer's baby shower together? Huh?"

Anthony was aware of her and responded. "I returned to take care of business. Naturally, I'll return to the office once I'm finished. I don't have time for anything else."

Bella was irritated by his indifference, and she appeared disappointed. "All you have to do is give me a few hours. After that, I won't bother you."

"Forget it; I'm leaving. Don't forget to look after yourself." She then returned to her room. It was already dark when she emerged.

When Bella came out Elizabeth gave her note written by Anthony for her.

"Young Master gave it to me to give to madame," says Elizabeth. When Bella took the letter half-heartedly, Elizabeth noticed she was sulking.

"I'll take you to Summer's baby shower shopping." Purchase items for them and give them as gifts. I'll come get you. In two hours, you'll be ready."

She was ecstatic to receive his personal letter and was overjoyed. Somewhere, he was concerned about her feelings.

Bella was ready, but she was dazed as she walked downstairs. She didn't expect Anthony to be home when she arrived.

He was sitting in the living room, sipping from a cup of coffee and sorting through the documents on the table. He looked up at the sound of the door opening, then looked at her with a cold expression on his face and said, "Come here, I have something to give you."

Bella approached him and sat down.

He pushed the small box containing the priceless necklace he had won at the million-dollar auction "I was in France at the time. On the streets, I saw an elderly man selling jewellery. As a present, I bought one for you."

When Bella saw the necklace's packaging and quality, she was speechless. It was hand carved, and she would have thought it was worth millions if he hadn't told her. But anything he gives her is priceless in her eyes. This necklace may have been purchased on the street, but it is more important to her.

Is it true that he returned from France and went to the office solely to give her the necklace?

"I appreciate it."

Nobody is perfect for her. She will always choose her adorable cold devil over any men in every lifetime.

(a/n: this song was most perfect for the on going situation between them.)

"It's all
