CEO's Secret Husband
|50|. This Is Not the First Time

Aldrich arrived at the police station. Reporting the disappearance of Maribel. Only the report got a rejection.

"Wait after twenty-four hours, if it's true your friend didn't show up. You can report back"

"But what if something happens to him?"

"That's the procedure. After twenty-four hours"

Aldrich gave a cold snort, went out leaving the police station. Getting into his car, he let out a heavy sigh, "What should I do now?"

Aldrich suddenly thought that Maribel was preparing to go to his castle. That means if he disappeared suddenly, must have previously used the road that was fixed to his castle.

Like that, Aldrich walked down the road leading to his castle while circulating his gaze to the right-left. His eyes aimed like an eagle, searching and searching very closely.

Until arriving on the road that is far from the city, approaching to the forest. He faintly smelled the scent of human blood. But due to its distant location, he could not be sure what it smelled like.

Remembering the possibility that could have been Maribel. Aldrich pulled his car to the edge and he got off.

He entered into a valley filled with wild grass and tall trees, while his footsteps continued to follow from where the disturbing aroma of his smell came from.

On the other hand, Maribel was struggling to climb up, out of the abyss. His hands tried hard to hold tightly to the wild plants that were creeping and his feet clawed strongly climbing upwards.

Nil.

The slippery ground made his feet slip and his palms continue to be scratched at all times. It was painful and bloody.

"Hiks, how is this"

"I don't want to spend the night here"

"What if no one finds me here?"

"Hiks.."

Maribel crouched down and cried as she pleased.

Aldrich was surprised by the presence of a fiery red car that hit a large tree. He immediately recognized whose car it was and ran...

"Maribel" Aldrich pulled the car door and found it empty steering wheel bench.

"He's not here"

Aldrich is sharpening his kiss. His nose shriveled and moved, trying hard to find where the sweet scent of human blood came from. Like a squeeze of cotton candy wine mixed with iron.

"This must be Maribel" she said.

Aldrich ran quickly using the energy in his vampire, ready to search the place. His mouth was ready to shout loudly, "MARIBELL"

"MARIBEL YOU THERE?"

"MARIBELS"

Aldrich's loud cry echoed and reached Maribel's ears.

"Aldrichs"

"MARIBELLS"

"Yes that's Aldrich" Maribel's wet eyes kept smiling happily.

"ALDRICHH" he cried, I'M HERE"

Aldrich stopped his steps. He heard the voice and his footsteps slowly moved, finding the abyss. Looking down, his eyes instantly found a body figure below...

"Aldricht.."

Aldrich could hear Maribel's oozing as well as his breath of relief.

"Haa, thank goodness.." Maribel smiled in his relief.

Aldrich jumped down.

Maribel pressed her face against Aldrich's chest and cried, "Hiks.I'm afraid. S-very scared.."

Aldrich raised his hand and patted Maribel on the back.

"Hiks.t-thank you. Thank you for remembering to look for me"

Aldrich's chin went down, gently pressing Maribel's head, "En.."

Then his hand immediately carried the woman's body, "Closely embrace me"

Maribel tightened her hand wrapped around Aldrich's neck.

Like that, Aldrich took him jumping from the ravine and stomped back overland.

Aldrich took Maribel back to the castle.

Arriving at Aldrich's castle, Maribel went straight to clean her body and bathe. Because his suitcase was left in his car which is still in the valley.

He also borrowed Aldrich's clothes.

The large black robe of the man had wrapped around his thin body. Maribel tied the robe and walked out with her hair still wet.

Aldrich glanced at Maribel who had appeared on his sleeping robe. Looks like his hand sank because of the long sleeves. The clothes also look dirty on his small body.

Aldrich smiled faintly, "Sit down" His hand patted the empty sofa beside him.

Shamefully Maribel walked over and sat down beside Aldrich.

"I dry your hair first" Aldrich put a towel on Maribel's coconut and began gently rubbing her wet head hair.

Maribel twisted her fingers, her heart warmly receiving the treatment.

"So, how did you end up in the abyss?" Ask Aldrich. Both of his hands continued to rub.

"That's..." Maribel began to tell her chronology.

From the story, Aldrich immediately discovered the irregularities.

"Someone must've done something to your car"

Maribel immediately thought, "Ah, don't-don't..."

"Don't-don't what?"

Maribel looked up at Aldrich. His eyes gently looked at the cold eyes of the man that felt soothing to his heart.

"This is not the first time" Maribel leaned his head against Aldrich's chest, "Someone wants to harm me" Maribel swiped his face, looking for a comfortable position.

Aldrich placed the small towel on the arm of the sofa, "You have a lot of enemies?"

Maribel poked on her shoulder, "Come"

"..."

"I'm just guessing, it's my aunt's doing" Maribel smiled bitterly, "She wanted me dead in order to take over the company"

"And you're still this relaxed?"

"Hum?"

"You should move on doing something" Aldrich looked at Maribel's face.

Maribel smiled, "As I once said.." Maribel's hand was raised up, landing on Aldrich's cleavage, "I lived for years with naivety and stupidity..."

Her lentic fingers moved gently rubbed Aldrich's cheeks.

Somehow, Aldrich had absolutely no intention of getting rid of it and chose to enjoy it.
