All the vaults inside the basement made everyone hold their breath when they saw what was inside. There are jewelry, gold bars and piles of dollars, besides that there are also many documents containing a list of other wealth belonging to Kostov such as companies, hotels, restaurants, and many others, night club and some small cafes and television stations. All of it is a treasure that is hunted by many people to bet their lives to get a fortune that is clearly not going to run out for some derivatives.
No one thought that Lizbeth and Dmitry were the richest mafia children in Russia, not to mention the money stored in the bank. The question they are asking right now is who has managed Kostov's wealth? Is there someone who is highly trusted to manage it?
Both Lizbeth, Dmitry, Edward and others have the same curiosity and will soon find out who that someone is.
“I didn't expect you to be this rich,” said Alexa who was sitting while enjoying her cigarette suction.
“Turn off your cigarette, Alexa! Don't you know there's Lizbeth here?” Edward stared warningly at his sister who made the girl grimace and immediately switched off her cigarette.
While Lizbeth, Dmitry, and Louis just shook their heads to see the behavior of Alexa who did not dare to refute Edward's words. Louis also knew if Alexa was not the type of person who would take it for granted especially regarding his pleasure such as smoking.
Lizbeth leaned her head on Edward's shoulder and sighed. “What will we do now?”
“We will check it one by one as the location of the company, hotel, club, restaurant as well as some of the cafes and television stations.
Most importantly we have to find first who manages everything because that way it will make it easier for us to find the information. We can't just walk in and say we're the heir to Kostov without including any evidence,” explained Dmitry at length.
Edward stroking Lizbeth's head nodded in agreement. “Next week we leave for Russia.”
“Next week? Why so long?” Lizbeth Protest.
“There is something we have to finish first,” replied Edward causing wrinkles on the forehead of everyone in the room.
Now they are indeed in the mansion owned by Edward after bringing all the valuable objects from the basement to be stored elsewhere, in the secret room of Edward.
“Is there any more problem?” Lizbeth straightened her body looking seriously at her husband who even brought his face closer to Lizbeth's ears.
“There is a problem between us. Have you forgotten how long I haven't been visiting Miller junior?” Edward's successful whispers gave rise to a red hue on Lizbeth's face with a rhythmic heartbeat sensation.
Alexa, Louis and Dmitry who can see the change in Lizbeth's expression immediately cleared their throat and followed the wrong behavior, because they are in a situation between husband and wife talks. Damn it!
Dmitry moved on from his seat following Alexa and Louis.
“We say goodbye first, immediately solve your personal problems before we go,” said Dmitry in reply to an enthusiastic nod by Edward. “Why didn't you guys just say goodbye?” Edward said without expressiveness.
“Hah! I feel the atmosphere of this room is becoming unhealthy for singles,” Alexa quipped.
Edward stepped up from his seat patting Louis on the shoulder and looked at the handsome man with a slanted smile. “When will you propose to my sister?”
Edward's question was like a bolt of lightning in broad daylight for Alexa. “What question is it? We—”
“After he was ready for me to apply,” Louis replied without hesitation cutting off Alexa's speech.
“Ah, I like your style, Louis. I think Alexa is ready,” Dmitry's temptation that increasingly makes Alexa snatch annoyed. “Women need a certainty,Louis. Not only hope and unclear code.” Lizbeth wakes up from her seat giving her best smile as an older sister.
“Don't wait for him to be ready or not. If you love her, don't hesitate to express let alone invite her to live together in a strong bond. Are you afraid of rejection?” Lizbeth continued without the need to slow down his voice and brightly said that in front of Alexa.
Louis looked at Alexa who looked wrong. “A-what? Why... You're looking at me?”
Louis grabbed something from behind his pants pocket then knelt in front of Alexa. “Will you marry me?”
“What the f*ck! What kind of application is this?” Alexa's strangulation was unexpected by Louis's proposal.
Meanwhile the others could only be dumbfounded, not believing that Louis would act like this after a few seconds ago getting advice. That guy really didn't waste a chance!
“Sorry, I'm not carrying a ring at the moment. I think a bullet is more attractive than a ring. But take it easy, once you receive
my application I will immediately invite you to buy the ring,” said Louis did not turn his eyes on Alexa.
Alexa swallowed her hard-earned salivary, staring around the unlucky one while staring at her expectantly.
“What the hell is this! Why is everyone supporting Louis?” Think Alexa.
“Kakak..” Alexa unexpectedly whined and pulled Edward's arm like a little brother who asked in defense.
“Alexa accepts you, Louis.” Said Edward heartily answer Louis' proposal to his sister.
Alexa's intention to ask for support ran aground when Edward instead increasingly cornered her and made her unable to dwell with the answer.
“I...i haven't answered!” Alexa Protest.
“I'm waiting for your answer,” said Louis gently.
“Don't waste a chance, Alexa. Because we will not know if we will still be able to get a second chance to be loved wholeheartedly,” said Dmitry while giving a shady smile.
Alexa took a breath and threw it away slowly. The girl looked at the still loyal Luois kneeling before her with a ridiculous-looking bullet.
“Wake! Don't Kneel Like That.” Alexa leaned over holding Louis's shoulders.
“Ya or not?” Louis asked, still reluctant to move.
“I don't know,” shriek Alexa lowered her head making everyone surprised except Louis.
Louis stood up and immediately hugged Alexa who in fact did not get resistance from the girl. “I know. I'm not forcing you, I just want you to know that I really love you and don't hesitate to say it in front of your family.”
“Sorry, I can't answer it yet,” Alexa said still in Louis' arms.
Everyone stared at each other before Edward cleared his throat. “I don't know what your problem is, but I hope you won't continue like this. I believe Louis can keep Alexa and Alexa will be fine with Louis.”
Louis let go of his hug on Alexa and nodded in response to Edward's words. “Whether or not my application is to Alexa, as long as I breathe I will still protect her in my own way.”
“How do you feel about Louis?” Edward asked Alexa who immediately raised her head.
“I love her,” replied the girl without a doubt.
“I have a reason, I also do not know if I have been able to completely forget my lover first, me..” Alexa suddenly lost her voice. “I'm just afraid of hurting Louis, ruining our good relationship all along and making him disappointed one day.”
“You're just afraid of your own shadow, Alexa. And about forgetting your girlfriend, I guess it's just a matter of time. We can't possibly forget, but at least we know that there is already a proper replacement for him to re-fill our hearts,” said Lizbeth stroking Alexa's soft arms.
“I'm not forcing you, it doesn't matter if you have to wait.again.” Louis sighed softly before smiling at Alexa. “Fear will forever lock you in the uncertainties and doubts to step up. Follow your heart,” Edward added with a gentle swab on Alexa's head.
“I.. will answer it after our mission is completed,” replied Alexa staring at Louis inside.
“I will wait for him,” reply Louis did not melt his best smile, reassuring everyone that he was fine if he had to wait, again, again, and again. For Alexa.

Lizbeth moved uneasily on the bed, since an hour ago after Edward completely kept his word saying he wanted to visit Miller junior, who had been, Lizbeth could not sleep after that despite trying to close his eyes. The woman glanced at her husband who looked slumbering and did not care about him, at once the annoyance at Edward made her sigh.
Lizbeth changed her position to sit, she shook Edward's shoulder trying to wake her husband.
“Ed, wake up!”
Edward simply muttered without any intention of opening his eyes. “Wake up or I kick! Why are you so evil.”
Lizbeth was already on the verge of tears when she also felt neglected by her husband.
“Yes God, Edward! Wake up!” Lizbeth grabs her husband's blanket violently still trying to wake Edward up who was suddenly difficult to wake up. Usually the man is very easy to wake up even with a little noise.
With a sense of annoyance that had peaked Lizbeth was really crying. Oh God! how annoying is the hormone of pregnant women who are very sensitive like this, and now Edward looks so evil by letting him awake alone since then. “Sucks!”
Lizbeth got out of bed and just walked out of the room a few seconds later Edward opened his eyes and chuckled softly. How adorable would his wife be if she were like this. It's a lie if Edward doesn't wake up with Lizbeth's whining.
Edward who grabbed his t-shirt and then put it on quickly before catching Lizbeth out, it has become a habit that the man will sleep with a shirtless state because he thinks hugging Lizbeth is enough to make him warm. Especially after doing their night sports, Lizbeth asked that Edward only wear his boxer.
Edward's slow steps came to a halt in the living room as his eyes caught Lizbeth curled up on the sofa in a large Edward shirt just a thigh. The man approached, squatting down in front of Lizbeth's face which turned out to be asleep.
“Baby.”
Edward stroked Lizbeth's wet cheek. “You're crying?” Lizbeth opened his eyes and immediately hit the hand of Edward who was about to touch him again.
“You're evil!”
“I, wicked? What have I done to you?” Asked Edward who had changed his position to stand, looked looming in front of Lizbeth who was now sitting folding both hands.
“I've woken her many times but you're still sleeping! You even let me wake up alone,” upset Lizbeth who almost made Edward laugh.
The man sat next to his wife, pulling Lizbeth's body until she was on his lap.
“Do you want something to wake me up?” Lizbeth nodded slowly.
“You want what?” Without permission Lizbeth just grabbed her husband's lips, kissing him aggressively for a while before releasing him for not getting a reply from Edward.
“I..want again. But it seems like you don't want me anymore,” said Lizbeth quietly who is almost inaudible with his face down and squeezed the end of the Edward shirt he was wearing.
For God's sake, Lizbeth had already risked his pride for the sake of saying this. The woman grew annoyed and wiped her tears that were reluctant to compromise.
“You're angry because of this?” Ask Edward flatly.
Lizbeth looked up at her husband in disbelief and was about to open her mouth to spill her irritation if her husband's sexy lips did not silence her first.
“I just want to see you pleading because I don't like asking,” whispered Edward in between his kisses.
Edward never asked Lizbeth from the beginning. The man prefers to do it just like that or wait for Lizbeth who pleads even though Edward does not deny his desire for Lizbeth is very big especially now his wife looks more sexy and beautiful with her pregnancy.
Lizbeth groaned between annoyance and passion as Edward's lips wily smacked every inch of his lips.
“Damn! Can you treat me romantically just a little bit?!”
Lizbeth pushes Edward's body with a breath of breath, his annoyance has no effect on Edward which in fact Lizbeth's gaze implies a great desire for him.
Edward again pulled the nape of Lizbeth pulverizing his wife's lips deeper but full of tenderness.
“Note your language, baby. Did you forget there's an heir Miller in here?”
Edward stroked Lizbeth's stomach gently while lowering his kiss on his wife's neck.
“Please, and I'll give it my all,” said Edward who really showed his bossy nature.
“You...sucks!”
Edward stopped his activities, then looked closely at the beautiful face of his wife who looked disappointed.
“I never asked. So, do we just stop here and go back to sleep?”
“Edward!” Lizbeth grabbed her husband's hair rough until the man grimaced.
“You only need to beg once and I will give you. Oh, don't waste your energy trying to grab me now, baby.”
Lizbeth bit her lip as she felt Edward's big hand move mischievously infiltrate into the big shirt she was wearing and was stroking her back slowly. “Please..”.
“What?”
“Touch me more than this.”
Finally, Lizbeth spoke before he felt any further torture.
“Yes, my queen. I’m yours tonnage".
