IVANA'S FAKE MARRIAGE
DULCE'S STORY

"Who is the woman Angel calls, she runs Gustave's business. Is that you, Dulce...?"

Dulce changed her sitting position. The girl seemed to take a deep breath. Both gray irises appear to hold millions of problems in them. But there was clearly fear in the girl.

Dulce lowered his head again.

 "The real Angel is Gustave's daughter. Angel died when she was seven years old. My poor cousin was the victim of a kidnapping by his father's enemies" Dulce said slowly.

He lifted his face with his eyes back in tears. "Since I got out of the dorm, Gustave wanted me to be Angel. He wants me to run his business..."

Dulce looked at Jose who was looking at him with a sharp and probing look with a cold face harboring curiosity. Who exactly is the figure of a woman named Angel who often heard him lately.

"To bring down that evil man, I must pretend to follow his wishes. Gustave's men and Gustave's business partner called me Angel. They know me as Angel", said Dulce.

Jose nodded for a moment. He seems to think. While Ivana could only be speechless so did Ellios who listened to everything.

"Are you the mastermind behind everything that happened a while ago at Nasviel's plantation? My confidant informs me that the brain of the crime that took place on the estate of a woman's wife named Angel", jose asked with a sharp tone without even turning his attention to the girl who claimed to be the lover of his late brother Juan.

Hearing that question Dulce shook his head quickly and surely.

"It's not me. I did call Angel but I never committed the crime Gustave ordered. It is true that I pretended to obey him but I never ordered anyone to commit a crime or harm anyone else" Dulce replied.

"Hugh...

"You guys trust me. I hate Gustave too much. I'm..."

Dulce could not continue his words. The girl returned to shed her tears.

Anyone who sees the condition of the girl will know that she is carrying a heavy burden.

Ivana clasps Dulce's fingers. He knew the girl was speaking truthfully and telling the truth.

Ivana looked at her husband sitting across her legs resting on one thigh, while his hands rubbed his chin while looking at Dulce who was bowed before him.

"Darling what should we do now?", Ivana asked softly as usual.

"For tonight let him sleep in the hacienda. Ellios.tell Hilda prepare a guest room for Dulce. Don't forget you bought clothes for Dulce too", Jose ordered his assistant.

Ellios nodded her head. "Good sir. I immediately told Hilda", Ellios replied as she was about to leave the workspace with Dulce.

"Dulce.for your safety you better not get out of Almiron's hacienda. I guarantee you're safe here" Jose said, giving a sincere smile.

Dulce nodded his head. "Thank you Jose, Ivana. I will not forget your help for me" replied Dulce. He also smiled sincerely.

A few seconds later the girl turned her body back. "I forgot to say it. A while ago Gustave once asked me to approach you Jose, then finish you off. I said yes, but believe me it's impossible for me to do that. Even in my mind no one came across to look let alone meet you. Everything that is happening now is a fate I never expected before" Dulce said, exhaling deeply.

Hearing Dulce's words, immediately made Ivana's body tremble. Luckily Jose was aware of his wife's change. Hugged Ivana's waist quickly. And gave a light peck on his face that suddenly looked pale.

"Don't worry, I won't let my guard down this time. Gustave wouldn't have managed to hurt a single person on my estate, let alone hurt you dear" Jose whispered to Ivana who looked calmer now.
