Get Caught or Not?

Tonight, Arthur came home early. He refused Natasha's invitation just to hang out at the cafe or even at a bar to calm his mind as usual. Arthur had also expected that he would definitely get his due as a husband because Livy had promised him this morning. Arthur's smile grew at the thought of his wife's face welcoming him like she had that morning. When he reached the car park, someone suddenly called out to him.

"Mr. Arthur!" The deep voice came from behind him. Arthur turned around and it was one of his male staff.

"What did Mr. Arthur just call me?"

"Oh yes, Niko. It's about the upcoming 2-day press conference being held at our company. To promote the products we sell overseas later. Don't forget to prepare everything along with the employees and others," Arthur ordered in a smooth tone.

"All right, Mr. Arthur. But which money will we use to buy the property?" Niko asked so he could prepare before the press conference day arrived.

"Is the money for the company's equipment, facilities and infrastructure gone?" Arthur asked.

"Still, it's just that I thought it was only for the capital to buy obsolete machines, Mr. Arthur."

"Leave the obsolete machines alone, don't use them. Leave it in the warehouse, we will buy it after the press conference and bazaar are over with other money that is not from facilities and infrastructure," said Arthur.

"Yes, Mr. Arthur. My team and I will prepare everything immediately,"

"Don't forget, the program for the bazaar is different from the press conference day,"

"Yes, I know, Mr. Arthur, please excuse me." Niko saluted Arthur by bowing his head before leaving.

The SC group company was a skincare collection about the world of skincare that would be sold at a high price because of its good quality. The company had been founded by Mr. George, Arthur's father, a long time ago. The company held by Arthur was a branch of the first SC Group company held by Mr. George. Because the relationship between Mr. George and Arthur is not very good, there is very little communication between them and the company runs independently according to their own wishes.

Now it was time for Arthur to leave, but there was something that prevented him from just going home.

"Arthur!" This time it was Natasha who called out.

"You again, huh?"

"What's the matter? You don't seem to like me coming," Natasha replied already with her arms crossed over her chest and her lips pursed playfully.

"It's not that, it's just that I wanted to go home early to rest my body more because in two days there will be a press conference, you know that right?" Arthur's reply gave a logical answer so that Natasha wouldn't be suspicious of him.

"It's not because I want to meet Livy sooner, right? I'm jealous, you know," Natasha began to cling to Arthur's arm.

"Hahaha, you're still jealous. Don't you realize what your position is and what Livy's is? Livy is my wife, how can I not prioritize my wife, huh?" said Arthur while slightly pinching Natasha's nose.

"Tsk! Let's go to the bar as usual, have some fun," Natasha coaxed.

"Not this time, not for the next two days. I'm afraid my body will drop if I consume too much alcohol every day, Natasha."

"Aisssh, you usually never protest, why have you changed, Arthur?"

"Not changing, Natasha. It's about my business too, for the sake of the company to move forward quickly. How can a CEO go to a press conference drunk? I won't be able to focus during the presentation, do you want me to be like that and the company to crash?"

"Yeah, no."
"In that case, you just obey," Arthur was deliberately looking for an excuse so that he could have time with his wife.

"Huh... fine... I'll give in for a few days. But... after the bazaar we have to go to the bar again, right?" Natasha was still persuading Arthur and even looked up to see if Arthur's answer would make her happy or not.

"Hmm... but I can't promise. What if there's an important event with a client later?"

"Yes, too,"

"The world is not just for fun, Natasha. You'll also be busy tomorrow and come home with an aching body. So let's not be selfish first,"

"Yeah, we'll go to the bar when the time is right," Natasha said.

"Alright, let's go! I'll take you home," hearing that made Natasha's heart so happy that she reflexively hugged Arthur.

"Yeayyy! Thank you, Arthur!"

"Hey, let go. I can't drive later,"

"Hahaha."

.

After taking Natasha to her house, Arthur went home because he wanted to meet Livy immediately and hoped that Livy was waiting for him wearing sexy clothes and with natural makeup but looking beautiful. Imagining that made Arthur smile widely before entering his house.

CEKLEK!

"Livy's not there? Don't tell me she left my house!" Negative thoughts immediately overtook Arthur. Even the smile from earlier immediately faded and was replaced with an angry expression until his eyeballs began to turn uncharacteristically blue. Even his fingernails began to grow. Immediately Arthur ran quickly using his power as an Alpha who could quickly arrive at Livy's bedroom door and immediately opened the door to the room quickly.

BRAK!

The door opened with a bang and it must have startled Livy who was all dressed up and pretty, just like Arthur wanted her to be. Livy hadn't come downstairs yet because Arthur had left early, so she was still sitting at her dressing table but she was done.

"Arthur, what's wrong?" Asked Livy who had approached Arthur who was still standing at the door. Suddenly Arthur choked Livy's neck. Of course it made Livy shocked beyond belief.

"You!" Arthur quickly pushed Livy against the wall along with the strangulation. Making it difficult for Livy to breathe.

'Damn it! Has Arthur realized that his powers are gone? The necklace, has Arthur realized that the necklace has been replaced by the moon god?" Livy thought with a pulse that was so fast, not like usual.

Because if Arthur found out, Livy's life could end up in Arthur's hands too. Even though Arthur no longer had great power, he was still an Alpha, who could have hurt Livy using items in the house or even what Arthur was doing now.

"What are you doing to me, huh!" Livy was silent and her eyes widened in fear that Arthur already knew about the necklace.

DEG!
