    $21 37. Mnie’s Dark Secret


    “What do you mean?” Mnie swallowed hard. Her tongue was going


    numb.


    Paul smiled slyly. “You think | don’t know? You are a murderer. You are lucky that | still loved you all this time. Now, because that


    time is over, is there any reason for me to cover up your crimes?”


    Paul’s crispugh filled the air. When it subsided, the rest left an impression of horror.


    “Life is funny. We started at the altar but ended up together in prison.”


    Suddenly, Paul leaned forward, whispering, “But after thinking about it, | think you''ll be the one to go in there first. | still have a


    chance. Maybe, there’s a kind investor who wants to be my savior. But you


    His finger was pointed forward. “You have no hope. Your sins cannot


    be erased like a debt.”? 2024 N?v/el/Dram/a.Org.


    While Paulughed again, Mnie grimaced in annoyance. When he chest became too tight, she grabbed Paul by the cor.


    “Don’t mess up with me! You think you can threaten me with that


    You don''t have solid evidence.”


    “Is that so?” Paul nodded more slowly. “If you’re that sure, let’s go to court. Let’s see who will win. You or the evidence I’ve been


    hiding.”


    “Shut up!” Mnie shouted with shaking shoulders. “You don’t have any proof. Don’t make things up!”


    “| didn’t make it up. Would you only believe it after being thrown in prison? Or ....” Paul leaned closer and stroked his wife’s


    cheek. “How about we don’t divorce? You are still my wife and | will continue to protect your secret. As long as ....

    The caress turned into a light pat. “You want to help me talk to your son. Get him to help mypany. After that, we’re even.”


    Mnie’s breathing became more ragged. Her tears thickened in her eyes. “I''ll kill you too,” she snarled faintly.


    “Go ahead! I’m fine despite the burdens of the world. But you have to remember. There are other people who also know your


    secret. Once | die unnaturally, the evidence of your crimes will immediatelynd in


    court.”


    Mnie hissed and pushed away the shirt she had been clutching. If Frank hadn’t been at home, she would have screamed,


    letting out all


    her frustration.


    “You have the heart to do that to me?” she asked as if she was the


    one who was hurt the most.


    “Actually, no. But you forced me to.”


    With a pitiful look, Paul grabbed his wife’s hand.


    “Come on, Darling,e back to me. We can fight together. | promise


    | won''t change. You will still be the queen | pamper. It’s just that |

    “How is it, Darling? You like my offer, right? Or should | approach your son before you make move?”


    “Alright!” Mnie shouted, restrained. “I''ll talk to him. Now you go home! I’m sick of seeing your face.”


    Paul snorted. “You think I’m stupid? Do it now. I''ll keep an eye on you. Once you act up, our deal is off.”


    Mnie grimaced again. She never expected that the situation could


    turn around.


    +25 BONUS


    “Okay. Let''s go meet Frank.” The sooner the problem was resolved, the sooner Paul would be gone from her face.


    “Good.”


    Without wasting any time, they walked out. But in front of the door, Barbara blocked their way.


    “What is it, Mom, Dad? What were you talking about?”


    While Mnie''s expression hardened, Paul stroked his daughter’s arm. “Nothing, Dear. Just business.”


    “You guys aren''t nning anything evil, are you?” Barbara asked in


    worry.


    Mnie took a deep breath. Without giving any answer, she walked to


    Frank''s room.


    Meanwhile, Paul rubbed Barbara’s head. “No. Don’t worry.” After that, he followed Mnie. His wife was already knocking on the


    door.


    “Frank, | want to talk to you. It’s important.”


    Just as Paul arrived, the door opened. Frank appeared with his h still wet. “What''s wrong, Mom?”


    Frank’s expression rxed. However, when he noticed Paul’s


    presence, his eyebrows rose. “Mr. Harris?”


    Paul chuckled. “I didn’t think you know me. Nice to meet you, Frank.”


    He reached out his hand. Frank couldn’t help but greet him.


    Meanwhile, Mnie exhaled quickly. She was toozy to make small


    talk.


    “We''ll be waiting in your study. Come quickly.”


    +25 BONUS


    Without waiting for an answer, Mnie pulled Paul along with her. Seeing the interaction of the two people, Frank’s brows


    furrowed.


    ‘Isn''t their rtionship not on good terms? Then why is Paul Harris


    here?’


    Suddenly, someone touched his shoulder. “What''s wrong, Frank?”


    The man gasped. When he turned around, he found Kara in her towel


    kimono.


    “My stepfather came. He and Mom asked me to talk.”


    Kara was taken aback. “Now? We haven''t even had dinner yet.”


    Frank nodded. “It looks like there’s something urgent. Maybe it’s a business matter. | have a bad feeling about this. Do you want


    to apany me to meet them?”


    Kara smiled softly. “If you ask, | can’t possibly refuse.”


    Frank curled up his lips as well. While holding his wife’s hand, he sighed, “Let''s hurry. I’m notfortable leaving the two of them


    in my study for too long.”


    After a few moments, Frank and Kara


    entered the room. Mni agai |

    “Do you mind?” Frank inquired, sounding displeased.


    Mnie took a deep breath. Not wanting to cause trouble, she shook her head faintly.


    “Frank, Kara,” her hand rose reluctantly towards Paul, “this is my husband.”


    +25 BONUS


    Kara nodded slightly. “Nice to meet you. I’m Kara.” She held out her


    hand.


    Paul greeted her with a friendly smile. “Nice to meet you.


    “So, what did you call me here for?” Frank put his hands in the pockets of his shorts and leaned casually on the long table


    behind


    him.


    Mnie nced at Kara. She actually didn’t want her daughter-inw to hear. However, she couldn''t offend Frank if she wanted


    her mission to run smoothly.


    “Why don’t you sit down first, Frank? It’s rude to talk in front of your parents like that.”


    Kara discreetly poked Frank’s arm. With a movement of her head, she


    told her husband to move to the work desk.


    Frank sighed in resignation. He actually didn’t like talking seriously with suspicious people, even though Mnie was his mother.


    “Okay, sorry.” After sitting opposite his parents, he put his hands together and ced them on the table. “Please begin. I’m


    listenin


    “Actually...” Mnie hesitated again. She looked at Kara, as if s wanted to shoo her away. “Kara, can you serve us something to

    The woman standing next to Frank stared wide-eyed. “Oh, yes. What would you and Mr. Harris want to drink?”


    Just at that moment, a servant knocked on the door. “Excuse me. | came to bring tea.”


    Frank smiled secretly. “Come in.”


    Nora appeared with a tray and several cups. Mnie could only grit her teeth. As the servant left, her hands clenched tighter.

    “Go ahead, Mom. I’m listening.” Frank raised the corners of his lips.
