At noon, Ethan sent all his employees home and he immediately followed Andrew to the hospital. The man was escorted by Richard and several other bodyguards, considering that the initial target of the shooting was him.

While in the car, Ethan tries to contact Luna. until several times calling, his wife just answered the call.

"Hello, honey. Are you okay?" asked Ethan worriedly.

"Yeah, you better hurry home. I have something important to say."

"I have to see Andrew first," said Ethan angrily, glancing at his tuxedo that was stained with Andrew's blood.

"This is important, Ethan. Go home first, then we'll visit Andrew," Luna called from the phone, sounding forced.

"Okay I'll be home," replied Ethan.

"Hmm."

The phone line was disconnected, Ethan immediately asked Richard to turn around to go home.

Mark ran to his car which was parked far from where he shot Ethan from another building. Sometimes he glanced back to make sure Ethan's bodyguards weren't chasing him again.

Arriving in the car, Mark immediately drove him to the house which was also his hiding place.

"You didn't kill him, Mark," someone said from the backseat.

Mark immediately stopped the car and looked back.

"Edward."

Yeah, that person was Edward who smiled sarcastically at him. "You said it was easy to kill Ethan, the most important thing is that I paid you dearly, now where is the proof? I even saw that Ethan was still fresh and fit without the slightest blisters!"

"Failure is possible, Edward. I can still try to kill him again," said Mark, then drove the car back.

"I don't need your job anymore, now give me my money back!" cried Edward.

"I can't because I already used the money," Mark replied.

"Oh damnnn! Are you tricking me, Mark? You didn't kill Ethan, but you took my money." Edward got even more annoyed and moved to sit next to Mark.

Mark immediately stopped his car on the side of the road, then glanced at Edward who looked very angry at him. "Be patient, Edward. I will kill him immediately, if necessary kill him in your presence!" Mark tried to persuade Edward.historical

Brutally, Edward immediately strangled Mark. "Looks like you'd better die, you useless bastard!'

Mark struggled with difficulty breathing, while Edward choked with all his might.

"You have to die, Mark. Or everyone will know that I instructed you to." Secretly, Edward felt threatened, because Ethan's bodyguard must have recognized Mark who they had been chasing.

"Let go of me, Edward!" Mark was having a hard time breathing.

"No! You must die!' Edward tightened his grip on Mark's neck.

Until a few moments later, Mark convulsed and breathed his last with his eyes open.

Edward smiled with satisfaction, then shifted the position of the dead Mark to the side seat while he took over the wheel. the man immediately drove the car into a ravine near a bridge that was not too crowded.

Edward looked around to make sure no one was looking, as the location was very quiet. he immediately got down while still leaving the car's engine running, then pushed with all his might until the car fell into a steep ravine and...

Boommm....

The car exploded and burn. it was certain that Mark would be ashes in it and Edward would be safe from the police charges.

Edward smiled with satisfaction after he managed to get rid of the messenger who incidentally was also his friend. He became a cold-blooded killer who could kill other people without thinking about the meaning of brotherhood, love, or friendship.

He immediately left the location and looked for a taxi to take him back to the office.

at home, Luna was sitting on the edge of the bedroom upstairs. After contacting Fito about her not attending the photoshoot, she tried to contact Edward many times. However, there is no answer. "Maybe it's true if he's the culprit. After this incident he won't answer my calls, damn it! I'm so tired and stressed with all of this." Luna huffed in annoyance, then threw her phone in the middle of the bed.

'Do I have to divorce? It is impossible. I'm just selfish and only care about my feelings without thinking about the kids. Everyone would be disappointed in me and I wasn't ready to leave Ethan either. Because I've seen him trying to change his attitude and continue to be patient. I love him ...'

Luna paced around thinking about how to avoid Edward's crimes as long as they couldn't be caught.

Check....

Luna glanced at Ethan, who had just entered the room with his clothes messy and bloodstained.

"Are you hurt too?" asked Luna frantically groping Ethan's chest up to his arm.

"No, it's Andrew's bloodstain," Ethan explained, then sat down on the couch. "What do you want to say, honey?" he asked.

"We have to separate so that Edward will no longer bother you, hurt you, terrorize our family. I'm so tired because of his increasingly reckless behavior," said Luna with a sad look.

.

"Separate, what do you mean split up?" asked Ethan frantically. Of course, he panicked, Because separation was the scariest thing for him.

"We're not going to live together until Edward is caught by the police," Luna answered, then sat down beside Ethan. "I'm going to stay in my old apartment and tell Edward we're getting a divorce," she explained.

"Why did it have to be, honey? You'll be in more and more dangerous if you stay away from me and I can't stay away from you." Ethan showed a plea. he looked so sad, staring at Luna intensely.

"Ethan, I want to calm down with the kids. Do your duty to catch him, if you are caught, maybe we will get back together," said Luna with all the strength of her heart, because even though she sometimes hates Ethan, she also still feels affectionate more often.

Ethan sighed, looking at Luna who was back again sad. "Are you sure this will keep him from hurting us? I wasn't prepared to be away from you."

"This is the only way because I don't want any victims. Maybe this is the time we should give in for goodness sake," explained Luna then hugged Ethan. "I know it's hard, but we have to understand... it's only temporary and for the best. I love you, I don't want anything bad to happen to you because Edward doesn't like you with me."

Ethan sighed, rubbing Luna's back. "Well if that's what you want, we'll split up until I get proof of his crimes, then throw him in jail."

Luna nodded, then let go of her hand. "I'll be ready," she said and stood up.

"No, you better stay in this house and I'll just stay in my apartment," said Ethan as he pulled Luna back to sit. "Here you will be safer," he continued.

Luna didn't budge for a moment, thinking that if she lived in an apartment, it would be very difficult to move all Keenan and Keyra's equipment. "Okay, I'll stay here. But don't come to see me, until you get evidence of Edward's crimes and arrest him."

"I promise I'll catch him soon and you won't have to feel threatened anymore," Ethan said confidently. although he agreed to this temporary separation, he also felt unprepared because he could not stay away from his wife and kids for long.

"Yes," replied Luna then stood back up. "I have to see Edward stop what he's doing, I'll try to persuade him to stop bothering me or you. Maybe if he finds out we're getting a separate he won't be jealous of you anymore and he'll let us breathe a sigh of relief," he said.

"You can meet him but don't be alone, take Jack and Johan," said Ethan.

"I'm sure he won't hurt me, Ethan. You don't need to worry," said Luna, then immediately left Ethan alone.

Ethan immediately contacted several bodyguards to monitor Luna, because he was worried that Edward would do things to his wife
