After kissing her Mikael looked at her flushed face and smiled. Natalie looked so cute with her shocked face. It made him chuckle. His fingers brushed her lips sensually as he said to her.

"Natalie, this won't do"

"Huh? What... Won't do?" Natalie blushed and her face reddened like a beetroot.

"Let's date"

"But, we are already married"

"I know. I'm saying that we should go back to the basics. I'm going to date you and then proposal marriage to you. A church wedding, a wedding that you can plan how you want it to be, in your own way and with our loved ones there with us"

"I don't know" Natalie said with hesitation.

"What don't you know?"

"Let's go home. I'm hungry" Natalie said and turned her face away.

Mikael smiled and didn't say anything to her again. He just drove the car silently away.

...

When they arrived home, Natalie got down first and went to the hall. She poured a glass of water and drunk all of it. 

Subconsciously touching her lips, she reminisced the kiss. The approaching of the familiar footsteps brought her back to her senses. She was about to turn when Mikael hugged her from the back, making her to freeze.

"I know what you are worried about. You are worried about what people would say when we announce our marriage. But, Natalie, I am doing this because I am also worried that you will feel that I am hiding you away for the sake of my reputation"

"I..."

"Nothing matters to me, except you, Natie. I know that I am impulsive and sometimes my actions makes you think that I am selfish. But, this is how I am when I love someone dearly"

Natalie turned at once to look at​ him, "you..."

"Yes, I am in love with you, Natie. More than you can imagine. More than your feelings for me. I fell for you so hard that I thought I was going to go crazy without you in my life"

"Why didn't you ever say anything to me? I could barely keep my own feelings in check when I realized that I fell for you"

"I wanted to be sure you had the same feelings as I am before I could tell you. Actually, I had planned to tell you about my feelings but, someone suddenly beat me to it by confessing to me"

Natalie blushed.

"But, that was the most beautiful and sincere confession I've ever gotten. I could actually feel that you really liked me. You were so cute"

"I smell, I should go and take my bath"

"So, I am your first love?" Mikael teased, pulling her back and hugging her tightly.

"I didn't say that. When did I say such a thing? Actually, I am a lot of experience when it comes to confessing my love" Natalie said, pushing him back.

"I am going to bath" 

"Should we bath together? I think it will help fuel our feelings towards each other"

"Were you always this shameless? Wow, I'm getting goosebumps just hearing your words. You are such a flirt. Wait, that day, when you asked me about the umbrella. I always wanted to ask you. You kissed my cheek. Why did you do that? We didn't even know each other that way back then"

"I was seducing you. I am still shocked by your ability to be dense. How could you not know that I was flirting with you all those times?"

"That was... That was because I had no clue that you would like someone like me"

"What do you mean by 'someone like you', mm?"

"You hated me. You made it clear everytime we met. I thought you were really going to make my life miserable but you started helping me out"

"I'm sorry for accusing you of my brother's death. It was an accident"

"I won't date you" Natalie suddenly said.

"Huh?" 

"If you want me to date you, you have to prove yourself. I am not going to easily date you"

"Then, I will woo you. I will pursue you, Natie" 

"We will see about that" Mikael replied and they heard a knock on the door.

"Who could be there? Xia and Alice are gone to the country side to film and aunt is went back to City V" Natalie said and they both looked at the door suspiciously. "It isn't one of your crazy fans, right?"

"I will go and check. Natie go to the room and take your bath" 

"Mm" Natalie nodded her head and went away. Mikael waited until she entered her room before he walked to the door. He looked through the door face reveal and didn't see anyone.

Mikael waited for a while before he opened the door. When he did, he saw a box in front of him. He looked around and didn't see anyone, so he squatted in front of the box and opened it.

His face revealed a shocked expression as he looked at the two dead birds in the box attached with a note.

''You bitch, do you think you can be happy jumping from one brother to another? That's what sluts do. Slut! Slut! Slut! I will make the world know about all your evil deeds'

Mikael took the box and tore the paper into pieces. His gaze became cold as he walked to the trashcan outside to throw the box away.

"Whoever you are... Make sure I don't catch you" Mikael said loudly before going back I inside.

...

"Who was at the door?" Natalie asked as she wiped her hair after showering. She was wearing her bathrobe.

When Mikael saw her, he furrowed his brows and smirked.

"Natie, is it that you have trust in me to not do anything to you or that you are inviting me to do something to you?" He asked and lifted his left brow, walking closer to her.

Natalie came back to her senses and flushed. She was just curious about who was at the door that she had forgotten that she was in just a bathrobe. Natalie looked at herself.

"I..." Natalie turned back hurriedly but Mikael's​hand caught her fast, pulling her back snd she hit against his chest. 

Mikael touched her wet hair and sniffed her scent. "You smell so good, Natie. Your smell is driving me crazy. You have no idea how much you affect me, right?" He touched her lips and leaned closer.

Natalie instinctively closed her eyes and waited for the kiss that never came. Instead, she heard a chuckle and opened her eyes immediately.

"Go and change while I am able to think straight" he brushed her hair.

"Huh?" Natalie flushed.

"Did you think I was going to kiss you?"

"Kiss... No, I didn't have that thought. I thought you were going to pick something in my eyes that's why I closed them. Why would I think that you were going to kiss me? I am not a frivolous woman" Natalie said and blushed. She pushed him away and was about to turn when he caught her by surprise. With his arms around​ her face, he leaned closer and kissed her. He smiled when he saw how red her face had become but he didn't stop there, he continued to kiss her, this time more passionately and deeply. Suddenly, she let out a deep moan.

Natalie felt like she was floating in the air. She found herself melting. She held his shirt tightly and responded back, kissing him.

Mikael slowed down after a while and whispered into her ears.

"Go and get changed. I wouldn't be able to stop myself if I go far"

Natalie stepped back. With a reddened face, she hurried to her room. When she got to the room, she closed the door and berated herself.

"Natalie, you've gone crazy, really crazy" she shook her head and went to pick a dress.

Mikael went to his room to shower. He frowned when he thought about the box he had found outside.

"Who could be playing such a hideous game?" He muttered.

.... 

Unknown location.

"I found these on the internet and I didn't want to be the one to break this to you. Your brother and wife are married. I hired someone to check from the bureau office and it was confirmed that they did receive a marriage certificate at the bureau office"

"They're married? But, Natalie promised me that she wouldn't fall for my little brother. She said she wouldn't even fall for any"

"Everyone thinks you're dead. As the living, their living they must still live"

"But, I am back and I want my wife back"

"Thomas, don't act rashly. You promised to listen to me. I didn't save you so you could turn into a pathetic person"

"When is my mom returning? I want to meet her first"

"Tomorrow. She will be returning tomorrow so you can meet her first"

Thomas signed. When he lifted his face up, there was a large scar across his left cheek.
