Lydia knew Nick had convinced her that Nick only thought of Kaylee as his older sister. But she couldn't help but feel sad because she couldn't replace Kaylee in Nick's heart until forever.

"It's Miss Kaylee again."

​​

"Why again? Why are you suddenly feeling sad?" Nick knew what Lydia was sad about but pretended not to because he wanted to hear it straight from Lydia's mouth.

"It's nothing."

"It's not nothing for me. What is it?"

"..." Lydia still refused to answer, sealed her lips tight, making the young man chuckled in amusement.

"I don't know you will get jealous of her. I should've noticed it before."

"I'm not. Besides, I like Miss Kaylee."

"I know. But, it is because of her I could meet you," stated Nick all of a sudden. "I preferred to think that she is our cupid." laughed Nick as he grabbed Lydia's hands. "Aside from that, I can only tell you about my family this much. You don't need to know any further because I want to enter your world and not the other way around." Nick never wanted to bring Lydia into his world.

He knew Lydia had suffered enough and was depressed even though she tried to cover it up. Lydia didn't need to get any more pressure by entering his underground world on Folkland Island.

"Wait for me here and be prepared. When I get back, I'll probably ask for your hand in marriage, and we'll go wherever you want for our honeymoon. We can travel around the world or sail on the sea."

Lydia lowered her head to hide her blush. This boy… today was their first day, but Nick had already planned their honeymoon!?

"505171" was the phrase of a string of numbers that suddenly made Lydia stare at him in confusion. "It's my SOS number and will activate once I arrived on the south. Call me with it, and I will call you back."

SOS number?

"Despite the distance that separates us, I will make sure you are never alone here." Nick placed his forehead against her, inviting a happy smile from the girl.

On the other hand, Declan and Roxy have arrived in front of Wendy and Nick's house. Without waiting for Declan to open the door for her as usual, Roxy immediately got off and walked into the courtyard of her best friend's house.

Seeing his wife, who looked so worried about something and in a hurry, made Declan shake his head.

After turning off the car engine, Declan also got out of the car to catch up with Roxy. But as soon as the two of them entered the house, Declan frowned in displeasure at how messy the place was.

He felt like a thief had entered this house, and the residents were trying to fight the intruder off.

"Roxy, did your best friend fought with your brother? It looked a battlefield here."

Roxy stared daggers at her lover, making the man laugh in amusement. "Don't curse them."

"I don't want you to worry about them. It's getting late; we should go."

"But…" Roxanne didn't finish her sentence when she heard the sound of a car from outside.

Thinking that it was Wendy or Nick who arrived, Roxy ran towards the exit to welcome her best friend home. But she did not expect that the one who arrived at the front door was not her best friend nor Nick, but an older man with a hideous face with a scar on his left face.

It's Conn Allanach, Wendy and Nick's birth father, as well as her father's second-in-command... former second-in-command as that nasty man had become Hades IV since her father retired.

The older man looked at her with a murderous aura as if he wants to get rid of her.

The look in that person's eyes still didn't change. Noted Roxy.

That man's eyes were still filled with the desire to kill her.

"It's been a while, second lady. How are you?"

Roxy blinked her eyes several times while furrowing her brows as if she was beset with confusion.

"Do I know you, mister?" asked her in her innocent tone and confused look.

Declan knew that the girl in front of him was Roxy, even though her behavior right now was that of Kaylee.

Her acting is top-notch!

"Ah, I almost forgot. You have amnesia." his chuckle wanted to make Roxy puke on the spot.

"Amnesia? I think you mistook me for someone else's. Why are you here in front of my friend's house?"

"Your friends are my kids."

Declan frowned further when he heard this. This older man was Wendy and Nick's father? That means… this person is Hades IV!?

What is Hades IV doing in New York? Does Roxy know him? That's why the girl acted like she still lost her memory?

Declan was still trying to process the situation between them, but he played along with her.

"Sweetheart, it's time to go home now," stated Declan while circling his hand on her waist protectively without giving a domineering aura.

He didn't know what Hades IV was here for, and he didn't care about Wendy or Nick. As long as this person didn't have any ill will towards Roxy, he wouldn't meddle in his affairs either.

But if this man wanted to hurt his wife, he would not sit still. That was the impression Declan gave the man, showing that he was neither afraid nor daunted even though the man was Hades IV.

Roxy was about to protest because she was still worried about her best friend. But when she saw the gaze that was so firm and unrepentant in Declan's pair of eagle eyes, Roxy fell silent.

After all, she was acting like Kaylee to make the older man think she is Kaylee. It was impossible for her to rebel because Kaylee was an obedient girl and didn't like to voice her opinion.

"If you say so."

Declan smiled with satisfaction and led his wife out of the house, disregarding the older man who was still smiling at them. Even though his smile was friendly, Declan and Roxy knew it was filled with ulterior motives.

The two of them neither greeted nor said goodbye to the man and viewed the older man as just an insignificant stranger.

In silence, Declan started the engine and drove off without waiting. His eyes glanced at the front mirror and saw Hades IV still didn't budge from his position.

"I don't like that guy." was his first comment about the man's arrival. He acted oblivious, as if he didn't know that the older man was Hades IV. "I don't like the way he's looking at you."

"Me neither. I hate him." agreed Roxy, making Declan chuckled in interest.

"I thought you don't recognize him."

"You already know me. There's no way I don't know who he is. I'm not afraid of my father, but I will avoid that person."

"Why? Aren't you afraid of nothing?"

"Tsk. Who said that? Of course, I have a thing or two I'm afraid of."

"Why are you afraid? I'm here, aren't I?" Declan turned to his wife while playing his eyebrows up and down, making Roxy laugh amused.

"You're a sweet talker."

"I'm not just a sweet talker. I always do what I said."

"Oh really? What if someday someone will kidnap me and expertly duck me from you? You won't be able to find me. At that time, I could only rely on myself."

"Who dared to kidnap you? I think before they touch you, they will fall first."

"Tsk. You didn't answer my question at all."

Declan chuckled at her whiny tone. "Don't worry. I'll find you. Even if you are at the end of the world, I will definitely find you."

"How?"

"I'm the founder of Oscar Security, and I have eyes around the world. How do you think I found you when that creepy stalker kidnapped you?"

"Ugh. Don't mention him. I want to puke. I wonder if he's in jail right now."

"…"

"I don't like my father's way bring punishment to anyone who hurt me, but I'm sure at least he was in jail."

"…"

"The worst is he's already dead. Why are you silent?" Roxy was puzzled at his sudden silence.

"What do you want me to say?"

"Is he dead?"

"Why are you asking me?"

"Because I know you. I don't know how you found me that night, but I know you won't stand by and let the person who hurt me roamed around freely. What did you do to him?"

"I did nothing. It was your father."

"I wonder why I'm not surprised." Roxy took a deep breath and looked out the window with thoughts running wild. "Declan,"

"Hm?"

"You already know who I am and my father's background. Do you still want to marry me?" Roxy was still looking outside as she asked.

Part of her felt sure that Declan would still be by her side, but part of her felt that Declan would leave her someday.

She knew it was wrong, yet she couldn't help feeling insecure.
