Episode 10

The car started to move through the streets of the vast city. Silence within the vehicle grew more uncomfortable with each passing second, as if they were from a funeral rather than a wedding...

Edwin closed his eyes, leaning his head back. Diana occasionally glanced at Edwin, but dared not make a sound that might further irritate him.

"Why have you come back after all the harm your absence caused me?"

"Why didn't you just stay abroad as you had done all these years?..."

"Why did I feel something so intense upon seeing you again? An electric current surged through my body the moment your hand touched my arm."

"Is it possible I haven't been able to forget you?..."

Edwin couldn't find answers to the many questions tormenting his mind. Completely disregarding Diana, Edwin plunged into his thoughts until they reached the building.

Soon enough, the car parked in front of the building where Edwin had a modest apartment...

Astonished by the sight of her new home, Diana pressed her hand against the car window, taken aback by the beauty of the location. Situated in one of the city's prime areas, stores of every kind were just steps away, the most exclusive shopping centers were within close reach, and the best part was the ability to walk to the supermarket without the need for an escort.

Edwin was the first to get out of the car, opening the door for Diana. Noticing the tear streaks on Diana's cheeks, he slammed the car door in anger.

"How can I be so harsh with such an innocent girl?" Edwin chastised himself.

Then he turned and hurried inside. He wanted to take a shower before heading out to the airport.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Shop," greeted the building concierge.

"Good afternoon, this is my wife Diana Wlop, who, from now on, will be living in the apartment. Needless to say, if she requires anything, you are to see to her needs..." Edwin spoke with an unusual chill to the concierge.
