Time goes back ten years.
Edward the Third looked at the sleeping woman on the bed with her back to him.
The woman had only a white blanket around her waist, her bare white skin forming a stark contrast to the dark sheets with a hint of sheen.
Eduardo Tercero has a lit cigarette in his hand and stands by the window, smoking quietly.
After the fall of Orlondo Marta’s forces, Esteban Zaragosa represented the Ming organization for a few days and then returned the leadership of the Ming organization to Z’s president. Esteban Zaragosa returned to La Ciudad Santa to live with Dulcina Esteban Zaragosa returned to La Ciudad Santa to live with Dulcina Calvo.
And Claudio Belles has long since been kicked off the Ming organization’s hit list by Esteban Zaragosa during his time as chief of staff of the Ming organization.
And this is the moment when the 100-day agreement between Eduardo Tercero and Claudio Belles officially begins …
Eduardo Tercero remembers the night, not so long ago, in East Limburg, when a spy set him up, drank hard drugs and entered his private room in East Limburg.
He had been asking about her whereabouts for ten years when she fell into the sea and, afterwards, he did not know how happy he was to know that she was still alive and well.
During this time, Eduardo Tercero has followed all her affairs, although he has had no dealings with her.
In the last ten years, she has grown bigger and better, and has become more and more stunning and beautiful. She is known outside, as an assassin, as the Black Rose, a rose with sharp thorns, but he, Edward the Third, has grown more and more fond of her.
That night in East Limburg was his first official reunion with her after ten years.
Eduardo Tercero never thought she would forget him, that she would forget him.
She was so drugged that she lost her senses. Tormented by the drug, she lost her wakefulness and her sanity, and clung to him as if she had grabbed a life preserver, just like the little vixen who had burst into his heart ten years before, dominating him, undressing him and sleeping with him.
After a night of soul-searching, all he gets is for her to turn the other cheek.
Later, when trouble arises within the Ming organization and she, Esteban Zaragosa and Tom Paul become apostate outlaws, she approaches him and the occult organization behind him to help bring down Orlondo Marta’s plot.
And made him an offer to stay with him for a hundred days.
Eduardo Tercero never regretted the sacrifices he had made, and so the woman, in a roundabout way, returned to his arms.
The woman on the bed, shrinking a little, pulled the blanket around her waist, up to her arms.
Edward the Third pulls out the scarlet cigarette butt and throws it out the window, then closes the open window.
The man returned to the bed and hugged her from behind, pulling the blankets around them over the two of them, Eduardo Tercero lowered his head and dropped a kiss on the woman’s scented shoulder, Almira.
Tonight, he was too aggressive.
She was covered in the marks he had left all over her body.
He tried to restrain himself and try not to hurt her, but found that all his restraint was in vain when he met her.
-Claudio, I will make you fall in love with me again.
…
The next morning, Claudius Belles woke up sore and cursed the perverted ancestors of Edward the Third.
Claudio Belles took a bath and felt very relieved before going down to breakfast.
Soledad had prepared a table full of breakfast and said with a smile, “Miss Claudio, good morning.”
Claudio Belles glanced at the breakfast table with its meatballs, ravioli and shrimp dumplings, all of which he loved.
“Soledad, you know my tastes very well, they are all my favorites.”
Soledad laughed, “Sure, after all, you used to …”.
After all, Miss Claudio had lived at La Villa Real for several months, and Soledad knew her tastes.
At this point the conversation stops, President Eduardo has ordered that the past not be mentioned to Miss Claudio, and Soledad dares not speak of it casually.
First thing in the morning, there was no sign of Eduardo Tercero.
“Soledad, where is Eduardo Tercero?”
“President Eduardo has gone to a meeting and, because of the time, he should be back soon.”
Claudio Belles finished his breakfast, picked up a calendar and began marking it with a red pen.
She was sitting at her desk, deep in thought, when a cold male voice suddenly emerged from behind her.
“What are you doing?”
Claudio Belles frowned, “You’re walking quietly.”
Edward the Third looked sharply at the calendar she held in her hand, his brow furrowed in hidden anger. “Did I ask you what you were doing?”.
“I’m counting down when the hundred days are up, so I don’t get the wrong day and have to sleep with President Eduardo an extra day for nothing, so I have to draw circles to write it down.”
Eduardo Tercero snatched the calendar and ripped it to shreds, “You want to leave me that much?”.
Claudio Belles has never been a man of good humor, and when he saw Eduardo Tercero breaking his things, he also got angry: “Sir. Eduardo, have you made a mistake, the hundred days between us is just a deal, of course I have to count the days!”
Eduardo Tercero’s long, slender fingers cupped her chin and questioned her coldly, “Lobo Blanco already has a girlfriend, what, and you plan to leave with him in a hundred days?”
Claudio Belles pulled his hand away, a little speechless: “What does this have to do with Esteban Zaragosa! I can’t stay with you at all! Besides, we have agreed on a hundred days!”
Besides, on the first day, Eduardo Tercero had been able to beat her to death, and in a hundred days, if she fought night after night, she didn’t know if Eduardo Tercero would die of sperm, but she would almost die in bed!
Eduardo Tercero’s frown was growing more and more furrowed, and under his eyes was a strong repressed anger.
Claudio Belles gave him a flirtatious look and wrapped his long lotus arms around Eduardo Tercero’s neck, flirting, “What, Mr.. Eduardo has taken a shine to me and wants to have a long-term one-night stand?”.
Eduardo Tercero’s face was blue and green as he disengaged his intertwined arms and spun on his heels, striding away, not bothering her in the least.
The man pitched, “You have no right to leave today.”
Claudius Belles rubs his nose, a big man who can’t afford to make jokes.
What’s the point of keeping her out of the house? This La Villa Real can’t keep a top agent like her?
…
In the studio, Old K hands Eduardo Tercero the information he has researched.
“President Eduardo, at first I saw Miss Claudio in Z and I didn’t really recognize her.”
It was Claudio Belles and Tom Paul who went to East Limburg to negotiate with them when Eduardo Tercero allied with them, and Old K was so dumbfounded that he thought President Eduardo had turned over a new leaf and had his eye on another girl.
Turns out it’s been ten years, and in a roundabout way, he didn’t expect to see the same Miss Claudio.
Only … Miss Claudio no longer remembers President Eduardo.
Eduardo Tercero scrutinized the information as he pitched, “It’s your eyes that are clumsy.”
“…”
Eduardo Tercero scanned something in the information, his eyes sank slightly and indicated to Old K: “Come out first.”
“Yes.”
The information K. K. had found was in black and white that Claudio Belles had been married to Esteban Zaragosa, and even though they were divorced, that didn’t stop Eduardo Tercero from feeling bad about it.
Snap.
Eduardo Tercero closed the file and dropped those materials on the table, raising his hand to rub his brow bone.
Over the years, she has followed Esteban Zaragosa and liked him, so much so that she went to her rival’s house to force him to leave Esteban Zaragosa, even after Esteban Zaragosa asked her for a divorce, she refused to leave.
All this deeply disturbed Eduardo Tercero.
Even if, hypnotized, she had lost her memory of him, it was justifiable but difficult to live with.
