Seminggu telah berlalu sejak Darren kembali dari Singapura. Namun, suasana di rumah sakit tetap penuh ketegangan. Tuan Harison tetap dirawat dengan perhatian ketat tanpa ada kemajuan yang berarti, sementara Darren terus memantau situasi melalui tim pengintainya. Silvia mulai menunjukkan rasa tidak nyaman dengan rutinitas monoton di rumah sakit.“Darren, aku rasa rawat jalan di rumah akan lebih baik untuk ayahmu. Lingkungan rumah jauh lebih nyaman dibandingkan tempat ini,” ucap Silvia suatu pagi saat Darren mengunjunginya.Namun, Darren menggeleng tegas. “Tidak, Bu. Di rumah sakit, keamanan dan pengawasan jauh lebih terjamin. Aku tidak ingin mengambil risiko, terutama setelah insiden yang terjadi sebelumnya.”Silvia mendesah, menyembunyikan kekecewaannya. “Baiklah, Darren. Tapi jangan lupa, aku ingin kembali ke rumah sesekali jika keadaanku sudah memungkinkan.”Darren hanya mengangguk kecil, tidak ingin memperpanjang perdebatan. Pikirannya sedang terganggu oleh sesuatu yang lebih mend

Darren kembali ke rumah sakit di Jakarta dengan identitasnya yang sebenarnya. Penampilannya tetap rapi, mengenakan setelan jas hitam dengan dasi biru gelap, ciri khas seorang pria elegan pengusaha muda. Wajahnya masih ditutupi masker hitam hingga yang terlihat hanya bagian mata keatas.Ia melangkah masuk ke lobi rumah sakit dengan wajah dingin namun tegas, pengawal pribadinya mengikuti dari belakang. Para staf rumah sakit yang mengenalnya hanya mengangguk sopan, tidak berani menatap terlalu lama.“Bagaimana keadaan di sini sepeninggalku?” tanya Darren kepada salah satu pengawalnya. Suaranya pelan namun penuh tekanan, membuat siapa pun yang mendengarnya langsung merasakan pentingnya laporan yang akan diberikan.“Keadaan terkendali, Tuan Darren,” jawab pengawal itu dengan suara tenang. “Tidak ada insiden berarti selama Anda pergi. Namun, ada satu hal yang perlu Anda ketahui. Ibu Anda sering kali meminta kami untuk meninggalkan penjagaan. Namun, seperti perintah Anda, kami tidak pernah m

Darren duduk di ruang konferensi hotelnya yang mewah, memandang ke arah layar besar di depannya. Ruangan itu dihiasi dengan lampu gantung kristal dan dinding yang dihiasi dengan lukisan abstrak bernilai jutaan dolar. Spy Eye dan timnya telah mengumpulkan data dari insiden-insiden yang baru saja terjadi. Peta digital yang menampilkan Singapura dengan beberapa titik merah kini terlihat di layar."Apa yang kita punya sejauh ini?" Darren bertanya dengan nada tegas, tetapi tenang. Matanya yang tajam menyiratkan betapa seriusnya situasi ini.Spy Eye melangkah maju, membawa map berisi laporan. "Tuan Darren, setelah kami menganalisis kejadian di pesawat dan bandara, serta interogasi awal terhadap pria di taman, ada pola yang jelas. Semua serangan ini berasal dari sumber yang sama. Sepertinya ini bukan perbuatan Baron, tapi kekuatan yang lebih besar. Dan yang diincar adalah Kemal, tokoh di balik pergerakan ekonomi dan politik dunia, bukan Kemal, CEO Anugerah Langit Corporation."Darren mengang

Pagi Sekali Daren berangkat menuju Singapura. Ia melangkahkan kakinya dengan percaya diri menuju boarding gate di bandara internasional. Tanpa membawa pengawal ia pun melakukan aktivitas dengan sangat hati-hati dan waspada.. Perasaan tidak nyaman sudah menghantui sejak ia melewati pos pemeriksaan keamanan. Sesuatu terasa salah. Naluri tajamnya membisikkan bahwa ia sedang diawasi.Di dalam pesawat, Darren mengambil tempat duduk di kelas bisnis. Ia memilih kursi dekat jendela, memanfaatkan waktu untuk memikirkan semua rencana yang akan ia lakukan selama di Singapura.. Tak ada yang mencolok di antara penumpang lain, Tapi kewaspadaannya tidak sedikitpun diturunkan. Ketika pesawat mulai lepas landas, ia mengatur napas, mencoba untuk rileks. Tapi, bayangan ancaman tetap menghantuinya. Meski begitu dari sadar bahwa inilah resiko yang harus ia jalani karena sudah berani berkonfrontasi melawan Baron.Sekitar satu jam setelah pesawat mengudara, Darren merasakan gerakan aneh dari kursi belakan

Darren menatap ponselnya yang berdering. Itu ponsel khusus yang ia gunakan sebagai Kemal. Nama Jeny, asisten pribadinya, muncul di layar. Tanpa ragu, ia menjawab panggilan itu.“Jeny, ada perkembangan?” tanya Darren dengan nada rendah namun tegas.“Pak Kemal, data kerugian yang diakibatkan oleh Baron dan anaknya sudah lengkap. Kami juga telah menyelesaikan proses penyitaan dan pengambilalihan perusahaan mereka di Singapura,” lapor Jeny dengan nada formal. “Namun, ada beberapa dokumen penting yang memerlukan tanda tangan Anda langsung. Hal ini mendesak, Tuan. Jika tidak dilakukan segera, ada kemungkinan Baron akan memindahkan sisa kekayaannya ke tempat lain.”Darren mengernyit. “Tidak bisakah hal ini diwakilkan? Saya sedang tidak bisa meninggalkan kota.”“Sayangnya tidak bisa, Tuan. Peraturan di Singapura cukup ketat. Anda harus datang langsung sebagai pemilik sah untuk menyelesaikan ini,” jawab Jeny dengan nada mendesak.Darren menghela nafas panjang. “Baiklah. Siapkan semuanya. Saya

Pagi itu, Keisha merasa tubuhnya sedikit lebih baik meski kepala masih berdenyut. Ia duduk di tempat tidur rumah sakit, berusaha memulihkan kekuatannya. Perempuan tegap yang menemani Keisha sebelumnya memasuki kamar dengan senyuman tipis di wajahnya."Selamat pagi, Keisha. Apa Anda merasa cukup kuat untuk berbicara hari ini?" tanya perempuan itu dengan nada lembut namun tegas.Keisha mengangguk pelan. "Saya akan mencoba. Apa yang ingin Anda tanyakan?"Perempuan itu menarik kursi dan duduk di sebelah tempat tidur. "Kami ingin tahu apa yang sebenarnya terjadi pada Anda. Dari awal hingga Anda ditemukan di lokasi kejadian. Ini akan sangat membantu kami."Keisha menarik napas panjang, mencoba mengumpulkan pikirannya. "Saya ingat, waktu itu saya bersama Kemal. Kami sedang berjalan di pusat kota, lalu tiba-tiba ada kerumunan besar. Saya kehilangan jejak Kemal dalam kerumunan itu. Saya panik dan mencoba mencarinya."Perempuan itu mencatat sesuatu di buku kecilnya. "Lalu, apa yang terjadi sete

At the Anugerah Langit Corporation branch office in Bandung, Baron sat in the large chair behind his desk, visibly uneasy. His thoughts were focused on Nadine’s assistant, who was supposed to have been silenced. Then, he heard footsteps outside his office. His two trusted men, Anton and Rudi, entered with guilty expressions, wearing their signature all-black outfits and dark sunglasses typically used during covert missions.“Forgive us, Mr. Baron,” Anton said apologetically. “We failed the task. Miss Nadine’s assistant is not in the police jail as we were informed.”Rudi nodded, adding, “We checked every cell, but there’s no sign of her.”Baron narrowed his eyes in anger. “Are you sure you checked properly? Are you absolutely certain she’s not there?” His voice echoed in the room, brimming with disappointment.“We’re sure, sir,” Anton replied. “We even confirmed with the guards. There’s no one matching the description of Miss Nadine’s assistant in custody.”Baron exhaled deeply, tryin

Darren raised an eyebrow, staring sharply at Nadine. "Of course, I approve, Mrs. Nadine," he said firmly.Nadine jumped, her eyes widening in surprise. "Approval from you, Kemal? How could I report this to the board just based on the permission of an ordinary employee?Darren smirked coldly. "Mrs. Nadine, it seems you've forgotten. I'm not just an ordinary employee. I am the CEO of this company," he said, his gaze filled with authority.Nadine's expression changed drastically. Panic crossed her face as she realized that the person she had been underestimating was the CEO appointed by the company’s owner. It was as though her defenses crumbled in an instant. Her face turned pale, but she tried to regain control. "Are you the one who has the right to give permission?" she stammered.Darren simply nodded slightly. "That's correct, Mrs. Nadine. All activities of this company are under my control. Now, let's review the CCTV footage so we can all know the truth."With a trembling voice and

Darren stared at Rocky and the four other employees with calm composure. "I understand you feel a sense of incompatibility, but you know, finding stable employment out there isn’t easy. Here, you already have good positions, decent incomes, and a conducive work environment. Are you willing to give it all up just because of provocation from someone who wants to see this company fall?"Rocky and the others fell silent, their gazes shifting as they reconsidered their decisions."The person provoking you knows that my leadership will bring significant changes, changes that won’t benefit them. They want to exploit your emotions to weaken this company. But I’m not here just to lead; I’m here to make this company stronger, and I want your welfare to improve as the company grows."Darren's words seemed to strike a chord. Some of them looked down, contemplating his message, while Rocky sighed, clearly reevaluating his choice."Thank you for your time. If you decide to stay, I hope you’ll fully

Darren drove his car out of the Anugerah Langit Corporation office building, his sharp eyes scanning every detail of the deserted road. His mood was still filled with satisfaction after his appointment as CEO, a move that cornered Nadine and dealt a blow to Baron. However, he knew Baron and his son wouldn’t stay idle after this.As he turned sharply on a quiet road leading to his house, a loud explosion suddenly came from the right side of his car. The front right tire burst, causing the vehicle to lose balance instantly. The car’s high speed made it veer dangerously toward the guardrail.Darren gripped the steering wheel tightly, his body tense but his mind focused. Realizing this was an act of sabotage, he quickly turned the wheel to the left to stabilize the car’s position. His heart pounded, but he kept his panic in check to maintain control.He took a deep breath and gradually reduced the speed, trying to prevent the car from spinning out of control. By then, the front brakes wer

"Alright, I'll meet her shortly," Darren said to the staff.The woman then left Darren's office, leaving him deep in thought, trying to guess what the baron’s daughter had planned.Darren decided to confront Nadine cautiously. He knew all too well that she tended to be arrogant and aggressive. Being the Baron's daughter, Nadine was used to getting everything she wanted. Darren took a deep breath, mentally preparing himself. He knew that even a single emotional misstep could ruin his cover and derail the carefully crafted plans he had laid out.When he arrived at Nadine’s office, he knocked lightly on the door, and from inside came her cold voice, “Come in!”Darren pushed the door open and stepped inside. Nadine stood arrogantly in front of her desk, eyeing Darren from head to toe. She did not invite him to sit, a clear attempt to control the emotional dynamic of the room.“From now on, I will lead this company,” Nadine began confidently. “Ms. Vina? She’s as good as fired. So make sure

Darren collapsed onto the sofa in his apartment. The day had been exhausting, filled with office intrigues, and just as he thought he could enjoy some peace, his phone rang. The name "Spy Eye" appeared on the screen, immediately putting him on alert. As his trusted informant, Spy Eye only called for urgent matters.“Yes, what is it?” Darren asked as he answered the call.“Boss, there’s a big problem,” Spy Eye’s raspy voice came through. “The managers… they’re dead. Someone infiltrated the place where we were keeping them.”Darren froze, his rage threatening to boil over. Those managers, involved in the company’s embezzlement scandal, were key witnesses against Baron. Their deaths significantly complicated his plans to expose Baron's crimes.“How could this happen? Didn’t you secure the location properly?” Darren’s voice was stern, nearly thunderous.“We had layered security in place, Boss. But something went wrong. The assassin was highly professional—no trace left behind. There wasn’
