The Woman From Hell

"Eat up quick. These are all your favorites. It's been a long time since you were able to relax properly." Marius signaled me to move my cutlery.

I also started feeling a little greedy looking at the delicious food on the table.

Marius was right. The table was filled with my favorites, which made me smile after not smiling for a long time.

"Thank you. My nerves have been a little strung recently, so it's good that I get to relax today."

Marius became a little more natural when he saw me.

I had not been this happy ever since Theo and I got divorced. Marius must have been feeling terrible too.Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

"Sis Wan, let's just pretend nothing happened just now." Marius looked at me with light in his eyes.

My movements slowed down slightly before I nodded. "Alright."

"Friends?"

"Yeah, friends."

I met Marius' gaze and smiled.

I was very satisfied with this meal. Although Marius' confession at the start made things somewhat awkward, at least our interactions became happier afterward.

Satisfied, we decided to go home, and it was at this moment, that a group of individuals dressed in black abruptly came storming up the stairs with knives in their hands. They rushed at me the moment they reached upstairs. There was ferocity in the leader's eyes, and the long blade in his hand was about to cut down on me.

Marius was also stunned by the scene in front of him. He likely did not expect such a thing to happen.

I was petrified and just stood there stupidly. I did not even think of dodging. Marius, who was beside me, quickly threw me to the ground.

"Who are you lot? Do you know who I am?!

"Get up here quickly and deal with these people!"

Buying us time, Marius ordered his bodyguards to come up and save me.

Unfortunately, these people were an obvious group of well-trained elites. Seeing that they did not manage to landa blow on me, they quickly brought another knife down.

Marius pressed me under him tightly, and the blade cut down on him firmly.

"Marius, are you okay? Hurry up and leave! Forget about me! They're obviously after me!"

Why would Marius listen to me, however?

Fortunately, his bodyguards who were downstairs had also rushed up after the second blow and quickly subdued the individuals who had barged in.

I did not have the time to worry about who sent these people at this time and quickly dragged Marius to a nearby clinic to bandage his wound.

"I suspect Delia was the one who

sent those people today since she's my only enemy. She's already achieved her objective, though. Why would she still send people over?"

I was becoming more confused as I talked about it. I was not sure what d*mnable thing I did that Delia would actually want my life.

Marius nodded at me angrily after hearing what I said. "You're probably right. I'm sure that vicious woman did this. I'm going to go look for her right away!"

I hurriedly stopped him. Marius was still severely injured at this moment. I could not let him go.

"I'll go myself. You just stay here and recuperate. Don't worry about the rest."

I already planned to get to the bottom of this. Not only for myself but also for Marius.

"No. I'm going with you now. How can I not worry if you go look for Delia on your own? She wants to kill you! Wouldn't you just be playing into her hands if you were to go alone?

"I'll bring a few people along and go with you. At least she won't get the opportunity again, so stop talking!"
