Chapter 144 - She Married Her Enemy?!

"My name is Marcel, but they called me Marc. Earlier I accidentally dropped my walnut because I was fascinated by you. I thought an angel had come down here."

WHAT?? Is this man flirting with her?

Chloe hated people who try to flirt with her the most, but somehow she did not mind this person at all. There was something about this person talking, and his smile made her unable to take off her gaze.

"Frankly speaking, I lived here as my punishment, and I've been living it for two years." explained the person. "I don't know whether my punishment already expired or not. The old man never sent his men to pick me up again," complained Marc irritatedly. "But I can be your guide while you're here. So what's your name?"

Chloe blinked a few times, realizing something. This person was a large man with hard facial lines. Judging from this person's muscles, it was evident that this person was very fond of fighting. She could even see that there was a knife-like scar on his sharp jaw. Surprisingly, the scar increased his handsome looks.

Handsome? Did she just praise a man handsome? It looks like something is wrong with her. Chloe wondered if her body still had any remnants of the LS organization's created potions? Perhaps she was hallucinating.

"Hello? Are you still there?" Marc waved his hand in front of her face to interrupt Chloe's reverie

"Chloe... my name is Chloe."

Eh? What's with her voice? Why did her voice change to that of a shy girl?

"Chloe? What a beautiful name."

Chloe couldn't hide her reddened cheek, and she felt like she wanted to dig a hole when she saw the man's amused glint.

"Come, let me show you around the isle!" Marc took Chloe's hand as if it was the most natural thing to do.

"But… but…" Chloe wanted to protest because they didn't have to hold hands. But the moment she felt the hand that was gripping her in a firm yet gentle grip, along with warmth radiating from the man's hand, Chleo accepted him.

As if the two of them had known each other for a long time, Chloe immediately felt comfortable with this young man. She felt she could be herself and didn't need to wear a mask to hide her weakness.

Without realizing it, Chloe had lived on the island for a year. Marc always accompanied Chloe every day to do their activities until they finally fell in love.

However, Chloe felt that Marc was hiding something and vice versa, but both did not mention it. For both of them, as long as they could live in peace like this, they were already satisfied.

Both of them even hoped that they would never return to their home country and wanted to build a family in this place. That's why Marc proposed to Chloe and wanted to marry her on the island. Because Marc was just an ordinary fisherman, he couldn't afford a pure gold ring with expensive diamonds. But he could order a gold pendant for her.

It was a simple pendant with the names of the two printed on both sides. Chloe knew the wages of being a fisherman were not that much. Because of that, she was deeply moved to see Marc using all his hard work for a year just to order the gold pendant from the merchant.

Chloe didn't care whether Marc came from a low-income family or not. She knew she had fallen for the nature and character of this man, and she was smitten by the man.

"Sorry, I can only give you this necklace. This necklace is just standard silver. I guess you must prefer..."

"I liked it a lot, more than I expected. Do you know what my favorite thing is? Simple. I love simplicity. Thank you." said Chloe while giving a peck on the cheek of her future husband.

Marc's smile widened, and that day, Chloe felt that her future husband looked much more handsome than before.

The two of them got married following the traditions of the people there. All the citizens rejoiced because of their marriage. One was handsome like a prince on a white horse, while the other was very lovely, like an angel who comes down to earth.

The two of them were a compatible couple, and nothing could match their beauty on the island. Even though the two of them wanted to have a simple wedding, the neighbors and all residents who lived there held the biggest wedding event that has never been on the island. Of course, Chloe and Marc didn't reject their friends' goodwill.

At first, their life went smoothly. Both of them enjoyed the life of the newlyweds like any other husband and wife. They felt happy during their three months of marriage until one night... Chloe woke up and did not feel her husband's body next to her. Chloe decided to find her husband outside. It was then that she learned the true identity of her husband.

"Young master, Master Alvianc is seriously ill and hopes that you will return soon to replace him."

"I told you before. I won't go back. This place is already a part of me, after all. Can't Greg replace me?"

"Young master Greg has just graduated from college. Master still can't entrust him to young master Greg."

"Isn't that just an excuse? After dumping me on this island for three years, now you remember me when my old man sick." came the sarcasm from Marc, making the eavesdropping Chloe frowned in confusion.

Master? What master? Could it be her husband was not like she thought he was?

"You better come back because I'm not going to change my decision." Marc turned around to walk back to where his wife was. He preferred to snuggle with his wife rather than face some annoying bastard who dumped him here without caring about contacting him for once.

"Leonard Paxton acquires thirty percent stake in Alvianc. If you don't come back, they will seize the Alvianc group sooner or later."

Marc's steps came to a halt once he heard the name of Paxton. His eyes glinted a dangerous aura as if he was ready to kill someone.

"Paxton again? Now tell me, who was the one who hindered my plan to charge them? I always suggest it to attack them directly before they managed to infiltrate our foundation. I even dared to break into Eastern Wallace and beat up all the mafia they sent. I almost get my hand on their precious princess, but what kind of repayment I receive? Not only my own father seized me, but he also sent me here with his so-called punishment!?" roared Marc in a furious state as he recalled what happened three years ago.

On the other hand, Chloe gasped in shock while covering her mouth with her hands to avoid her voice be heard by the men. She couldn't believe that her husband was Alvianc's eldest son, who had infiltrated her home three years ago and planning to kidnap her!

If only Leonard hadn't sent his men to protect her back then, she would have been kidnapped by the intruder... who turned out to be her husband now.

What tragic fate she had now. She married her almost kidnaper?

"Master Marcell, please..."

"Don't. I no longer care about it. Just go. Since my father threw me, I've thrown the name Alvianc out of my life!"

Marc turned around to return to his house, while Chloe immediately ran as fast as she could and immediately pretended to be asleep. She bit her lip hard, completely unable to believe what she heard.

Since a long time ago, the Alvianc group and the Paxton group struggled to control military power. If it weren't for Stealth's help, it would have been Alvianc's group that held the majority of the army.

Knowing that Alvianc's existence threatens Paxton's power, Chloe tried to find a way to destroy all Alvianc group businesses in order to prevent the problems that will arise in the future. Leonard supported her, and he has tried to suppress the value of the Alvianc group's shares until now.

But who would have thought... it turned out that all this time, Chloe was trying to destroy her husband's family business. That night Chloe couldn't sleep with tears streaming down silently.

Marcel didn't suspect and thought his wife was already sleeping soundly, so he decided to sleep outside, knowing he wouldn't be asleep for the night.

The next morning, Chloe told her husband to go back to where he belongs.

"Did you hear that?"

"I overheard it. I had no idea that you are the successor to the Alvianc group. You have to go back."

"..." Marc seemed to think for a moment. He had indeed thrown the name Alvianc out of his life. Nor did he care about his business or his ambitions against Paxton.

But the truth is that after Marc found out his family business was in danger, he couldn't sleep at all and worries about his family all night. Especially his brother, who was only twenty-two years old.. He was sure his brother was panicking and didn't know what to do to save their company.
