Chương 187: Who is in control?

"What an energy early in the morning."

"You…" Joaquin snapped his dilated eyes at her, studying her strange expression. But Aries simply tilted her head to the side, batting her eyes ever so tenderly.

"Yes?" 

His mouth opened and closed as he looked around, setting his eyes on the spot where he watched the blood on the floor when he tried to slay the assassin last night. There was nothing. Not even a trace of blood, and then at the balcony. Joaquin didn't think twice about jumping out of the bed, rushing to the balcony only to see it clean as well.

"Is there something wrong?" asked Aries, causing his back to stiffen as he looked back at the bed she was sitting on. "You overslept, husband. Were you that stressed out…"

Aries trailed off, watching the enrage Joaquin marched in her direction. Yet, she did nothing when her back hit the mattress while Joaquin hovered over her, his hand around his neck.
