After Caleb dropped his wife in her shop, he headed to his office, his assistant Robin immediately greeted him.
"How's your investigation?"
"Senator Sanches got all his wife's assets when she passed away five years ago, she owns several luxurious clothing brands in the city and they have one daughter named Sanya Sanches. After his wife died, he married his long time mistress Tanya Sandoval and according to her records, Mrs. Tanya grew up in Switzerland and went back to the country eight years ago, Senator met her at a gathering and become his mistress since then, and... we didn't find any information about Sanya Sanches. But when we talked to the Senator's deceased wife's cousin, he mentioned that what they know is that their daughter passed away thirteen years ago when she was sixteen years old because of leukemia."
"Then who's that woman named Sanya now?"
"We are not sure yet, Mr. President. In our investigation, it appears that she was only seen by the maids at the Senator's mansion just a month ago. The Senator told them that because his daughter's body was weak due to her illness, he brought her to America twelve years ago to get treatment, he also said to the maids that they have a relative who is a doctor in one of the biggest hospitals in America who treated and cured Ms. Sanya."
"And they believed that shit?"
"I think the Senator didn't mention that her daughter's illness is leukemia, Mr. President." Robin replied. "Anyway, they suspect that she was Mrs. Tanya's daughter and she were just named after the Senator's late daughter."
Caleb's slightly confused by what is happening, he doesn't want to think bad because they didn't have any encounter or conflict with each other. He doesn't even know his daughter, but why does his daughter Sanya react like that when it comes to him and if she is the daughter of his new wife Tanya, why does she have to use the name of the Senator's deceased daughter?
He told his assistant to continue his investigation, the information that he gather is not enough to put his mind at ease. There is something strange about the behavior of the woman named Sanya that he doesn't understand and he doesn't like, he also notices that she always gave his wife a sharp glance every time he drops her off and picks her up as if his wife had done something bad to her.
"Investigate Senator Sanches new wife as well, I want to know all the information--."
He suddenly stop his words when he received a call, it was from his wife so he immediately answered it.
"Hello--."
"I miss you." his wife who was on the other line said to him after he answered her call.
He couldn't stop smiling when he heard her yawn, he also noticed in her voice that she was sleepy.
He immediately signaled his assistant that he was leaving to pick up his wife to her location, he just nodded and bowed in response.
"I miss you too, Honey." he replied smiling as he walked out of his office. "Are you sleepy?"
"Uhmm, I want... to see you." she sounded like she couldn't handle the sleepiness anymore based on the tone of her voice. "But... I know you're busy, that's why I just called."
He chuckled when he heard her yawn again.
"Do you want something to eat?"
He immediately went to his car when he arrived at the underground parking lot, fortunately his grandmother's mall was close to his company.
"Uhmm... nope, I just... want... to see u."
He couldn't stop smiling and feel happy at his wife's words.
He knew everything that had happened to his wife during the three years that she lived in New York, he couldn't help but feel remorse every time he saw her face on a magazine cover back then. He's full of regret every time he thinks of the time that he wasted that he should have been together with his wife. He witnessed how she became successful in her career, and how happy she was with her life in New York so he decided to give up on her. He told his men to stop following his wife, he didn't go back to New York either and started focusing on his company again because he didn't want to ruin her life.
For the past five months, he immersed himself in work but he still couldn't help but buy a magazine every time he found out that his wife's face was on the cover. He couldn't forget her and still wants to make it up with her, until one day, he suddenly met his wife's maid and was glad that he didn't miss the opportunity to chase his wife when he found out that she had returned to the country.
He probably wouldn't be able to experience that happiness if he didn't pursue his wife, she fell in love with him first but he knows that he fell harder to her this time.
When he arrived inside the coffee shop, he immediately saw his wife's three bodyguards helping arrange the chairs.
They approached him as soon as they noticed him inside the shop.
"What are you all doing here, where's my wife?" he asked them angrily.
He hired them to watch over his wife, not to help arrange things.
"Madam is inside her office with Sir. Diego to take some rest Young master, Madam also ordered us to help here outside to finish her work early so she could go back to your office."
He couldn't do anything but to order them to continue what they were doing because that was his wife's order and headed to the stockroom.
He stopped walking when Sanya suddenly appeared out of nowhere and blocked him on his way to his wife's office.
"Good morning, Caleb." she happily greeted him.
He didn't say anything, instead he started walking but she again blocked him on his path.
"Can I buy you a coffee outside?"
He just ignored her and continued walking, when he passed her, he was surprised when she suddenly hugged his arm.
"Please come with--."
He immediately pulled his arm from her embrace, he suddenly felt irritated with her. He couldn't understand why his blood quickly boiled in annoyance every time he saw this woman.
"What the fuck do you think you're doing?"
He saw the surprise in her eyes as if she didn't mean what she did.
"I'm... I'm so sorry... Sir." she immediately apologized while bowing to him. "I... I didn't mean it, you... look like my ex-boyfriend so I couldn't stop myself, I'm sorry."
He felt irritated when he heard the tone of that woman's voice, he felt that she was not telling the truth but he knew that he could not immediately accuse her of lying.
"Don't you ever dare do that again." he threatened her. "Especially in front of my wife, because even if you didn't mean it, I will make sure that you will end up in jail."
He didn't wait for her answer and immediately headed to his wife office, he found Diego inside watching over his sleeping wife. He signaled her to come out which he followed immediately, after he came out, he approached his wife to wake her up because he felt like her position doesn't seems comfortable for her sleep.
His wife immediately smile when she raised her head as if she knew immediately that it was him even though she hadn't been able to open her eyes properly, she also raised her both hands signaling to hug her. He smiled and immediately picked her up like a child and sat on the chair, like before, he sat her on his lap facing him, she immediately hugged him and buried her face on his neck.
"Do you want to go home, Honey?" he asked her while rubbing her back.
She shook her head.
"We need to finish everything... so we can open the shop... as soon as possible."
"Okay." he answered with a smile and let her wife sleep more.
While his wife was sleeping, he started typing on his phone and sent it to his cousin Christian, he's asking for his help so that he could gather more information about the Sanches family. His heart almost stopped beating when he heard his phone ring, he quickly canceled Christian's call. He breathed a sigh of relief that his wife didn't wake up, he immediately put his phone on silent and started typing to scold Christian in his message.
Hardly an hour had passed when he felt his wife move.
"Are you awake?" he asked her as she moved her face away from his neck.
"What are you doing here?" she asked him as she rubbed her eyes.
"You said you wanted to see me, so I immediately teleported here." he even put his index and middle finger on his forehead. "Like Goku."
His wife laughed and hit her shoulder because of his joke.
They went out to see what her staff were doing, he noticed that the decoration was almost finished, they only need to remove unnecessary boxes on the floor and clean a little within a day and they can open his wife's shop.
He held his wife's hand before he told the three bodyguards to stay and finished everything in the shop today so they just need to clean tomorrow, Diego's job is to follow his car to make sure that they would reached safely in his office so he immediately went to the elevator when he said that they were leaving.
Earlier before they left in his wife's office, they decided to go back to his office so she could rest comfortably because her office is too small and there's still no furniture inside, they were about to leave the shop and go to the elevator when they heard Sanya.
"Are you leaving?"
When they turned around, he saw that she was holding two cups of coffee and it seemed that she had bought them outside because she had just entered the shop. There was also a tinge of anxious and surprised on her face that he couldn't understand, he also noticed that she was looking at him and not to his wife.
The fuck, is she talking to me?
"Can you stay here for a bit Caleb, I also need to ask you about something." she put down the cups she was holding on the counter and run towards them, she didn't even look at his wife who was just standing next to him. "Can you come with me so we can talk, I also ordered your favorite coffee for the both of us to enjoy."
His face darkened when he saw that she was about to grab his arm when he suddenly saw his wife's hand stop her.
"Ms. Sanya." he turned to his wife when he heard her speak, he even saw her serious face. "Do you want to talk to my husband?"
"Yes." she answered with a smile.
He frowned and looked sharply at the woman who was smiling in front of them
"I just want to remind you that I am your business partner and I'm the one who hired you as a store manager here, shouldn't you be talking to me instead and not with my husband, and I don't like the way you call my husband either."
The woman couldn't say anything that seemed to have returned to her senses, but his wife just continued.
"I'm a jealous person so please restrain yourself from calling my husband's name or talk to my husband, don't you also dare to touch him especially in front of me. Remember that I could easily cancel our contract anytime I want because that is what Senator Sanches and I agreed."
"I'm... sorry, I didn't mean--."
"You mean it or not, I still don't like the way you speak to my husband. You and my husband have nothing to talk about, and if this happens again, I won't hesitate to talk to your father to cancel our business partnership."
His wife suddenly pulled his hand and went straight to the elevator, it was his first time seeing her wife mad since they found out that she's pregnant and he doesn't like it. He doesn't like it when his wife's mad or upset especially now that she's pregnant, so he thought of calling Senator Sanches later to make him cancel his contract with his wife's shop.
Caleb didn't know what to do, he was restless because his wife seemed mad at him as well. His wife didn't look nor speak to him while they were in the elevator until they got inside his car.
"Honey, are you mad at me?" he said sadly as he rested his head on her thigh. "I'm sorry if I upset you."
"You don't have to say sorry and I'm not mad at you." he heard her said and stroked his hair. "I just really don't understand why Sanya acts like that when it comes to you, I feel that she has known you for a long time but maybe you just don't remember her." he suddenly felt her pulling his hair. "She even knows your favorite coffee hah, what next, perhaps she will offer you a dessert next time because it was your favorite?"
He raised his head to look at his wife.
"Honey, I told you that I never know her and never saw that woman in my life." he saw that his wife's frowning but there's a smile on her lips like she was just teasing him, he felt relief when he realized that her wife is not mad at him. "Favorite coffee my ass, my only favorite is my wife."
"I'm not coffee."
"But your flavor is my favorite, very sweet."
He smile and kiss her lips, he was glad that they choose to talk and understand each other when they are facing situation like that. He also noticed that his wife didn't cry nor become emotional this time, perhaps it is because she had already vented her grievances when she talked to that woman earlier.
"But why does it seem like she knows you?"
"I don't know." he grabbed her hand and kissed it. "Will you allow me to investigate her and their family, I don't like the way that woman acting either."
He smiled when he saw his wife nodded, now he doesn't have to hide the investigation he was doing on the Sanchez family to his wife.
