Love Began with the First Meeting



Maggie slowly stood up. No matter how strong a woman was, she would become all mushy and sensitive in front of the man that she loved. At that moment, she felt her eyes burn red hot, and her throat seemed to tighten as she immediately became emotional. Sniffing, she looked at Edgar, but could not see him clearly through the tears in her eyes.

Edgar walked towards Maggie, ignoring Cain who had also stood up. When he reached her, his eyes glued to her sad but excited face. Then he gently wiped the tears from her cheeks and sighed before saying, "My dear, don't cry."

It seemed that when a lover said, "Don't cry," it always meant that he wanted to let her know that he was there for her, and that she could then cry as much as she wanted!

Suddenly Maggie burst out into a bout of sobbing, while her arms clung to Edgar. Edgar said nothing but held her in his arms, letting her cry out her fear and pain.

Cain had sat down again, and now glanced at Maggie from where he sat so calmly and composedly. Slowly he said, "The Eagle really is worthy of its reputation!" He smiled coldly, then added, "I didn't expected that you could get here so soon."

"I was just thinking like my enemy," Edgar replied calmly. "You should have known about the relationship between me and Mr. Brian Long, as well as Vincent. It would have been better for you, if you had never cooperated with XK Intelligence Agency before. Unfortunately, there are only so many coincidences in the world,"

Cain replied with nothing but a light smile.

Edgar continued, "In fact, I hadn't noticed it at the beginning. But when I noticed that the route was so weird, I realized that I wouldn't be so careless if I were you."

"So, you got out of the car, and asked Tompson to keep following my decoy," Cain surmised.

Edgar smiled at his reply. Then he dabbed at Maggie's face with a tissue, and planted a kiss on her brow before saying something to console her. Taking her hands he prepared to leave.

"Do you expect to just leave like this?" Cain asked coldly. Suddenly, the other customers in the restaurant, who had been watching Cain and Maggie earlier, all got to their feet and formed a ring around Maggie and Edgar.

Maggie was about to say something in warning, but she felt Edgar's hand tighten its grip on hers. She held her tongue then, and looked at Edgar with pursed lips, waiting for his lead.

Edgar turned back to look at Cain and said, "The new school term will begin the day after tomorrow. Let's solve our problems tomorrow. At the old place." He didn't say any more but took Maggie's hand and left the restaurant.

Seeing Cain did nothing, the people working for him were all confused, but they didn't oppose Edgar's and Maggie's leaving at all. The whole thing had become a farce to them.

Afterwards, Maggie asked Edgar about the result of the battle between Cain and him several times, but she never got an answer. It was because every time when she raised this question, she was alone with Edgar. Instead of answering, Edgar would push her to the bed and have sex with her. As a result, she was then too exhausted to ask again.

Maggie also asked Cain about this, but all that she got was Cain's silent smile. It seemed that the incident had never happened between them at all. He was still her tutor and she was still a student being tortured.

As to where Edgar and Maggie went after this accident, they didn't go home. Edgar just called Hana and told her that he was taking Maggie to their apartment instead. Hana had been around the block herself, so she could understand that feeling of a newly wedded couple. She knew that "absence makes the heart grow fonder." Besides, they had just gotten their marriage license.

But in reality, when Edgar and Maggie got home, they didn't do anything romantic or have the perfect sex, as Hana had thought. They were too exhausted by stress and a lack of sleep from the past few days to do those things. Edgar had just taken a shower, and when he came out of the bathroom, he found that Maggie had already fallen asleep on the couch.

He carried Maggie to their bed. Lying down next to her, gazing at her sleeping face, Edgar soon drifted off to sleep himself.

They slept from noon till midnight.

"Uncle Three, I'm starving," Maggie mumbled teasingly in Edgar's arms.

Edgar was a typical man and also easily given to aggressive needs. How could he resist Maggie's soft mumbling and rubbing against him at night? Her words and behavior were a fatal temptation for him. He replied evasively, "So am I." His voice was deep and husky, but filled with dangerous intent.

"There's no food in the fridge," Maggie kept mumbling, and then looked at Edgar with sleepy eyes. "What about you buying some food from the shop downstairs."

Edgar replied with a grunt, and then he immediately added, "But I am powerless without first eating something."

"Huh?" Maggie's head was blank from sleep and she didn't get the point. So she yawned and blinked her sleepy eyes at Edgar. Her innocent face was like a powerful stimulant for Edgar.

"You are seducing me." Edgar's Adam's apple moved as he swallowed in desire. Then he moved onto Maggie's body before she could react. Instead of engaging in any foreplay, he thrust his swollen manhood into her soft and secret land with great urgency.

"Ah!" Maggie screamed out loudly. Pain flooded her body with his sudden and rough entrance into her. He covered her mouth before she could swear at him in pain and anger. Edgar kissed her roughly and made crazy love to her till the early morning hours. Their sweet but crazy romance filled the bedroom with ecstasy.novelbin

In the end, Maggie still didn't get to satisfy her hunger with food. It was nearly noon time when she woke up again. Edgar was gone, leaving a note saying that he was out. He had added as a subscript on the note that he had made breakfast for her in the kitchen and all she needed to do was heat it in the microwave oven.

Maggie heated the food while nursing her sore body. She was still in a daze until she heard the sound of the oven working. Then she thought back over the night's events and felt that it was just a bit surreal.

Maggie tried to find her phone, but she recalled that Cain hadn't given it back to her. Helplessly, she decided to go downstairs to call William on the pay phone after having a quick shower and getting changed.

Now that everything was over, she could quickly get a hold of William on the phone.

"Dad, it's me, Maggie," she said, pursed her lips. "Cain still has my phone."

William responded with a laugh and said, "I'll be home later. Hana told me that you and Edgar had gone to your apartment. Come home for dinner tonight."

"No, we won't!" Maggie said angrily. "I just want to know what this was all about? I got involved in this accident with no explanation or reason given. So I think that I have the right to know the truth!"

William was quiet for a second. Then he sighed and began to explain the whole thing to her, bypassing the details and names.

The fact was, it had been years since it had happened and then the superiors had found out about Richard and the people who were behind him. It was too late by then to straighten out the matter, as it had already been going on for too long. However, sometimes it was necessary to resort to extreme measures to achieve special outcomes, considering that they lacked strong evidence. Naturally, they came up with this idea of "a plan within a plan." Nothing happened with mere coincidence. Firstly, Cain was the real person concerned. Secondly, Henry accidentally found out about it, so he became a deserter.

Thirdly, Cain did have Edgar framed as the "murderer," but it was just a ploy, which he didn't expect would come true. Finally, Cain went for Richard and convinced him that they had finished up the task in a tidy way. Even Cain himself also believed that it was his man who had killed Henry.

As a matter of fact, it was all merely a strategy to force Richard to hand over the black box. Although it was burned to a crisp, leaving very little evidence, it was still strong enough proof to make Richard fall from power and secretly execute the people behind him.

After hearing the whole thing, Maggie felt quite depressed, saying, "Dad, did Edgar's father really..." She couldn't continue. Regardless of what had happened, he was still her father-in-law and he had passed away already. As his daughter-in-law, it was not proper for her to speak ill of him.

"Hmm," William responded with a sinking heart. "Maggie, no one can promise that they would never make any mistakes in their whole life. But once they do, it is always best if they could set them right. Anyway, Edgar's father had left the evidence."

"Hmm, I see," Maggie replied distantly.

"Well, don't think too much," William suddenly said in a cheerful way. "Come home for dinner tonight, okay?"

"No," Maggie answered squarely. "Well, I know everything now. So, bye, Dad." Then she hung up before William could reply. It was clear that she was still a little angry.

Maggie sulkily returned to their cozy apartment. Inattentively, she began to eat the food which Edgar had prepared for her. Her mind was still running through the recent events, while her heart was confused. Finishing her meal, she nestled down on the couch to watch TV while waiting for Edgar to return.

The clock slowly ticked along. By five o'clock it was nearly dark, and Edgar still hadn't returned home. Maggie was so bored that she skipped TV channels frequently and sighed woefully at her solitude.

Just before dark, she finally heard the door open.☐☐☐
