Chapter 234 - Blaming Anne Again

Daniel, who knew Aaron very well, actually understood Aaron's reason for choosing to leave Anne when he was angry. But he was annoyed that Aaron still liked to bring up his dark past. That was why today he brought it up to Aaron first.

"Everyone has trauma and a past, depending on whether or not that person struggles to get up. And you have been given a second chance by God to change, so don't waste that opportunity. It's better for you to go to sleep. Today has been very tiring, I'm sure you must be very tired. I'm also very sleepy," Daniel said quietly as he covered his mouth with his palm.

Aaron was just silent hearing Daniel's words. He did not deny the words of his best friend and right hand. As it was getting late, Aaron decided to go to his room on the second floor. He left Daniel, who was tidying up some files on his desk. For the past few days, Daniel had been staying at Aaron's house because his apartment was being repaired after a leak in the bathroom. Aaron, who only lived alone in his big house, finally asked Daniel to live with him. Although at first Daniel refused, he finally agreed, because Aaron threatened to cut his salary if he refused his offer.

Arriving in his room, Aaron immediately walked into the bathroom. Without taking off his clothes, he immediately stood under the shower and turned on the cold water. The only person who knew about his dark past was only Daniel. At that time, Daniel even saw Victoria's body which was found covered in blood in Aaron's old house when they were still living in Manchester.

The young Aaron lived with abundant wealth, his family was harmonious at first, until finally his father began to be tempted by another woman who finally made Aaron changed. Even though at that time his father's affair was not proven, but the news of his affair was widespread. Due to domestic problems in his family, Aaron finally changed from a good boy full of achievements to a playboy who had multiple partners. Finally, Aaron met Victoria, a bartender at a bar where he usually spent a lot of time every night. They ended up dating, and spent time together. She was spoiled by Aaron's money, without Aaron knowing that he was only being taken advantage of by Victoria.

Victoria had deliberately dated Aaron to get his money. She used the money from Aaron as a living expense with her boyfriend, who was still jobless at that time. As a result, they could live with enough money from Aaron, until Aaron finally found out about Victoria's evil plan. He went crazy and ordered his men to teach Victoria's boyfriend a lesson. Aaron's men did the order given by the master with enthusiasm. However, because Victoria's boyfriiend suffered serious injuries to his head, he finally died when he was taken to the hospital. Because Aaron was rich, this case was not exposed to the public. The police only considered this case as an ordinary fight, since Victoria's boyfriend, Brobi, was known as one of the thugs in a small alley in a famous bar in a corner of Manchester. But because Victoria couldn't accept it, she finally tried to find out what had really happened to her boyfriend.

When she knew that the main cause of the death of her boyfriend, Victoria then went to Aaron. She went crazy in Aaron's house which was empty at that time. Angry, Victoria destroyed Aaron's house. Aaron, who just came home, was shocked when he saw the state of his house. When he found out that it was all Victoria's doing, Aaron was provoked to take revenge. He then fought Victoria who was wearing a baseball bat at the time with her bare hands. At first, Aaron didn't fight back when he got hit on the head, but because Victoria was getting out of control, Aaron finally fought back. He hit Victoria twice in the face, hoping that she would come to her senses. However, the slaps she received made her even madder. Using the penknife that she prepared beforehand, Victoria immediately drew the knife at Aaron. But because Aaron was more alert, he managed to parry the knife and on a reflex he pushed Victoria back which sent her down the stairs from the second floor to the first floor. Victoria died on the spot due to severe head injuries. Because Aaron's family was rich and based on the CCTV footage at home that caught all of Victoria's activities shortly before Aaron arrived, the police finally determined what Aaron was doing as a form of self-protection from robbery. Aaron was not arrested by the police. Instead he was considered a good person, who helped the police catch one of the women who broke into rich houses, like Victoria did.

"Why did you have to come into my life, Vicky," Aaron said quietly as he remembered Victoria who had died a few years ago.

Aaron finally finished his night bath after looking at his watch which showed one in the morning. He then took off all his wet clothes and left them just like that on the floor. Because he only wore a towel to cover his lower body, the rows of hard abdominal muscles were clearly visible. Aaron immediately slammed his body onto the bed without wearing any clothes. He was too tired to even wear any underwear before going to bed.

While Steffi and Leon were still at war, various harsh words escaped Leon's lips. He cursed Steffi mercilessly, even after almost four hours they got home.

"You really don't know, Steffi, I made you the way you are. Don't forget where you came from, Steffi, you're just a cheap poor woman who sold your body to me." Leon spoke with emotion to Steffi, who had been shouting, blaming Leon for his failure to have the rare sapphire she wanted.

"I've served you sincerely, Leon, so stop talking like that. I'm your wife," Steffi answered loudly. She was very angry when Leon brought up her origins.

"If you want to remain as my wife, watch your attitude! You know I can easily kick you out of my house!!" Leon snapped.

Gulped!

Steffi gulped at Leon's threat. "You can't do that to me, Leon! Don't think I'm as easy as that stupid Marianne that you just throw away. I'm different from Marianne, so don't expect to be able to do that to me, Leon!!"

Leon laughed loudly at Steffi's words. Without saying much, Leon immediately put his hand on Steffi's neck and pushed her against the wall.

"I'm Leonardo Ganke! I can do whatever I want, Steffi, don't forget that. With the snap of a finger, I can get ten beauties sexier than you, so watch your words. One more thing you have to remember, never call Marianne stupid. She is well educated, she's a student from the best art college in London. She's not on your level, so be self-aware and look at yourself in the mirror," Leon said coldly as he glared at Steffi's eyes which were already wet with angry tears.

After saying that, Leon left the room, leaving Steffi who immediately fell on the floor as soon as he released his grip on her neck. Leon decided to sleep in the guest room, leaving Steffi alone in their bedroom.

"Aarggghhh Marianne! You bastard!!! Why did you have to appear again in my life? You're mine, Leon. I won't let you take my husband, Marianne..!"
