“If you need a place to stay in, I can arrange it for you. Loraine lives by herself. Having you here would
be inconvenient.”
Rowan stared into Marco’s eyes and said meaningfully, “It doesn’t matter. Lorrie and I even slept in the
same bed. Living together is not an inconvenience.”
Loraine’s face went red immediately at this, as though she wanted to escape and find somewhere to
hide.
They had made a deal no one was to bring up that history again.
During her first months after Loraine was found by her family, the environment was very strange and
unpleasant to her. She had restless nights filled with nightmares.
After days of constantly waking up in tears, Rowan started sleeping in her room and the rest of the
family took turns in doing so till she was no longer afraid.
For Loraine, this was embarrassing. And her family still teased her with that occasionally.
Loraine and her family had a very casual relationship, so she didn’t notice that Rowan was building an
affair story, giving Marco the wrong idea.
To Marco, her shyness meant she had actually slept with Rowan.
Marco tightened his fists. He lost control of his breathing and his icy eyes were filled with hurt.

Loraine saw his discomfort and asked in confusion, “Are you alright?”
Rowan cut in, “It’s Late. You should head back now, Marco. You can talk about work tomorrow. We
need to rest.”
Rowan waved his hand, indicating for him to leave, but Marco’s rage went off the handle because of his
last statement. He stood at the door without moving.
“And if I don’t leave?”
“Marco, you are just Lorrie’s business partner, nothing more. Watch your attitude. Don’t forget you’re no
Longer her husband.”
Loraine realized Rowan did not like Marco at all. Scared they would get into another fight, she hurriedly
tried to persuade Marco. “Please just leave! We can discuss it tomorrow, can’t we?”
“You’re this eager to send me away?”
Marco’s eyes went dark. His fists slowly unclenched, and he stepped back, a disappointed look on his
face.
Rowan shut the door immediately.
Marco stood still outside the door, minutes passing.
Then his phone rang, pulling him out of his trance. His face was expressionless as he put the phone to
his ear.

“Marco, I’ve gotten intel from Rowan Torres’ comrades. They all confirmed he was an ordinary man
with no background and made it to where he is now on his own standing. It took so much out of me to
find some of his files. He has no relation to the Torres family…”
Marco’s fingers tightened on his phone. His heart shattered.
