Carl returned home late . After having dinner, he went to his room to shower when he saw a package on his bed .

Ordinarily, no one except Kim and Allan entered the house . Allan had no reason to give him a gift without informing him so he a.s.sumed it was Kim who left it there .

Without thinking much he went to shower .

Later, he picked up the package, examining it before calling Kim .

As soon as it rang, he placed it on speaker then he began unwrapping the box .

Her raspy voice came through the speakers, "Hey…"

"Did I wake you? I'm so sorry, I'll call you later . "

She hurriedly interrupted, "It's fine, how was work?"

"The usual . " By then he had already uncovered the package . It contained a brown envelope .

He was about to ask her about her day when he saw the content of the brown envelope .

It was a report of everything about him including his daily routine and pictorial evidence .

With the words, "You can't hide from me" .

His hands trembled . He felt suffocated, trapped in the palm of another .

"Who could it be?"

Advertis.e.m.e.nt"Why?"

These questions ran in his head repeatedly like a broken record .

The few people that had grudges against him problem won't try to scare him this way . His father, stepmother… maybe Chamberlain but he doubted he would this .

Carl was lost in thought for a few seconds . Her voice snapped him out, "You still there?"

"Uh Huh . . I'll call you tomorrow . " With those words, he hung up .

He took the detailed report, dumped it in the trash before lighting them up . As he watched them burn, his heart oddly calmed .

Out of sight, out of mind…?

To think they got into the apartment was something . . .

It was a huge residential district that did not let people in only with the permission of residents .

So how did they get in? His door has a pa.s.scode, does that mean they know it or they hacked it?

He hacked into the CCTV, turns out, it was damaged since the previous day .

How thoughtful of them .

It only meant they were powerful .

That night, Carl did not know how he fell asleep but the next morning when he woke up, he acted like nothing happened .

He went to work as usual, bantered with Chamberlain, had lunch with the couple and returned home .

He did not want to let his enemy torture him . Seeing as that is their plan .

To make him feel unsafe in his own home .

Though he was scared, panicked, frustrated, he did not let it show .

Why play their games?

He remained as aloof as ever, even though he was aware he was being watched .

"What was their purpose?"

"Who did he offend?"

He had no answer to the questions that plagued his mind .

…

At King's base,

"His handling things well," the king spoke as he heard about Carl's reaction .

"He still did not go to the police?" He asked .

His first subordinate answered, "He understands they can't help him . Besides, it isn't the Blackwood territory, neither is it the capital . "

The King chuckled softly . The sound of his laughter was melodic and at the same time creepy . The kind of creepy you can't help but be drawn to .

Then he rhetorically asked, "Should we play with him more?"

Of course, he felt death was too Swift and easy for him .

He would continue to make him feel so small and powerless until he messed with his sanity .

"Not enough to cause a heart attack, just enough to damage him psychologically, slowly but surely… or is that too harsh?" He laughed maniacally .

He wasn't asking for their opinion, he was just saying the things he could do, the things he will do .

"After dealing with the Stans, I want you to do just that, don't harm him physically though, I'll do that myself . "

His subordinates were used to these sought of things so they remained unfazed .

It's just that they were unsure how and why Carl became his target .

"Yes boss!"

The King waved them away .

Like eunuchs to their King, they slowly backed away .

…

A week later at the office,

Chamberlain has almost gotten used to his wife's care and appreciation even though it had scared him at first .

It was something he had never experienced before . Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click www . webnovel . com for visiting .

The attention, the appreciation, the care made him feel good that he began considering that marriage wasn't so bad after all .

Maybe trying to avoid it in the first place was a mistake .

Just that morning, he had woken up to his wife's kisses .

She kissed his forehead and cheeks before running away because she was caught in action .

At first he was startled, then, oddly enough he found her a little bit cute .

Having a companion wasn't bad after all…

Who else asked about his day, work and his interest . These days the conversation seem to flow and never stop .

He had to admit that at first, he only replied politely because he didn't want to be rude but now, he genuinely enjoyed talking to her .

Never for the life of him would he have thought that his wife was talkative or interesting .

As he was reminiscing, she stepped into his office, she smiled warmly at him, "Lain . "

Well, that was what she called him now, and he liked the way she said it .

He thought, "Just the person I was waiting for . "

"I came to check on you, I was about calling for lunch, what would you like?"

As she took out her phone, he held her hands, "Let's go out for lunch today . "
