Zayden laid down on the gurney with his arm around Olivia. He lightly patted Olivia's shoulder.
"I don't know why I saw you as Aland earlier. I saw Aland holding a gun with a terrifyingly sharp and obscene gaze," Olivia said. "I felt scared and didn't think to hit him; I didn't know it was you trying to calm me down."
Olivia really felt guilty. "There's no need to worry; the wound is not severe."
Zayden knew Olivia had realized something was wrong with her. She seemed hesitant and reluctant to ask Zayden.
"What's the result of my examination?" Olivia asked, making Zayden stay there.
"Is there anything serious going on with me? Why do I often have nightmares and even hallucinations? What's going on?" Olivia raised her head to meet Zayden's gaze.
"Actually, Oliv, you're pregnant. We'll be parents soon."
Degh!
"I-I'm pregnant?" Olivia rose from her seat in surprise and looked at Zayden.
"Right, you're pregnant. Perhaps due
Olivia opened her eyes to find an IV attached to the back of her hand. Then she looked around, and it was quite dark."Zayden?" mumbled Olivia, removing the IV from the back of her hand and getting off the bed. She walked out of the room, looking for Zayden."Zayden?" She continued to call but was still unable to locate him, until Olivia noticed a man outside the house through the window. He was sitting on the lawn in the night's darkness. Olivia smiled and walked over to him. She saw Zayden pouring chocolate liquid from a bottle into a small glass filled with ice cubes.'Is he drunk?' Olivia's mind rarely saw Zayden drinking alone like this."It's cold out; won't drinking make you even colder?" Olivia's question prompted Zayden to turn towards her."Are you awake?" Zayden inquired, moving to make Olivia sit beside him."Is anybody here? I had an IV inserted," Olivia asked."Yes, Ariana came with the gynecologist to take your blood sa
"Madam, it's frigid outside. Don't you want to go inside?" Ivy asked Olivia, who wanted to go outside."I'd rather wait for Zayden here, Ivy. Then, could you please give me my sweatshirt?" Olivia said."Alright, I'll do it. Madam, don't go anywhere; wait here," Ivy said."Yes, okay."Ivy walked away and returned to the villa. Olivia stood silently until she noticed a small animal peeking out."What is it?" murmured Olivia as she approached the animal. "Ah, a little dog. It's so cute," Olivia said, rubbing the small white dog.But suddenly, the dog ran away, and the surprised Olivia chased him into the bushes. The longer she ran after it, the more she fell on the slippery ground, injuring her knee."Ah, that hurts," he muttered, rising from his position.As the woman stood up and looked around, she froze in confusion. She looked around, and she didn't know where she was."Where am I?" she muttered in confusion.Oli
The next day, Olivia opened her eyes as sunlight streamed in through the window of her room. She got up from her seat and held her head, which was hurting. Olivia observed that the back of her hand was swollen."Did I faint again?" she muttered.Olivia looked around but found no one. She got off the bed and walked out of the room. Olivia saw a man standing on the house's veranda, looking at the hill on the other side. The woman smiled and walked over to him."Good morning, Zayd." Olivia hugged Zayden from behind.Zayden was quite surprised by the sudden hug. He let go of Olivia's embrace and turned to the woman, who was smiling brightly at him."Are you awake?" asked Zayden, trying to keep a smile on his face."Yes, it feels like I slept for a very long time," Olivia replied."Yeah, because it's not morning anymore; it's two in the afternoon," Zayden replied."What? Two o'clock in the afternoon." Olivia was very surprised there
"Zayd!" called Olivia, looking for Zayden in the bushes of a less lush forest area."Zayden!" called Olivia again, and she walked up the rising road. The road ended abruptly at a cliff.Olivia's steps stopped when she saw what was happening there. Zayden was with the man she knew, Aland. The man plunged a knife into Zayden's stomach, causing her face to become extremely pale."Zayd?" called Olivia, so shocked that she found it difficult to take a step.Aland pulled the knife, and Zayden vomited blood from his mouth. With her gaze fixed on Olivia, Zayden mumbled for her to leave.Zayden's body relaxed, and he fell from the top of the cliff to the bottom of the lake below."Zayden!" screamed Olivia, running to the edge of the cliff. She was screaming as loud as she could, while crying hysterically."Zayden!" Aland hugged and held Olivia's body tightly."Hikz, Zayden!" she screamed.Olivia opened her eyes, and the first thi
"So, you think he no longer recognizes you as Zayden?" Bastian asked."That's right. He continued to think of me as Aland, but he recognized the other characters. Clif, Ivy, he knows them. It's only me that she doesn't recognize," Zayden explained.Bastian said, "Obviously, they've orchestrated all this to make Olivia forget you. And when Olivia sees you as Aland, she'll slip away easily.""Yes, Daddy is right. I refrained from approaching her because I was not concerned about her injury or death. I just don't want to see her suffer even more from her pain," Zayden muttered pensively."Zayden, Daddy just returned from the United Kingdom and had a discussion with the Wiratama family. Archil has a medicine; actually, it's an antidote to the deadly poison that almost attacked him when he became the crown prince of the United Kingdom. They provided a temporary sample of the drug, as identifying its ingredients proved to be challenging. But Daddy is still test
Finally, the guard complied and let Olivia go to the back garden by herself. Near the tree house, Olivia looked behind her. Once she was certain that no one was trailing her, she proceeded to the locked back gate."Argh, padlocked!" she complained."Have you come?" asked the man as he walked up to the fence, making Olivia look at the figure in front of her."Zayden?" exclaimed Olivia, smiling happily at the man she had missed."Move away a bit; I'll open the lock," the man said.Olivia moved away a little, and she pulled out a tool to open the fence.When the fence opened, Olivia immediately ran and jumped into the arms of the man in front of her."Where have you been, Zayd? Why did you leave me alone?" I asked Olivia, who was already crying with relief."I'm sorry, I'm late to see you," said a man who was none other than Aland. The man grinned happily when Olivia recognized him as Zayden."Let's get out of here." Aland
"Daddy has administered the medication that Archil prescribed. We are observing whether this medicine will affect Olivia or not," said Bastian."I hope it has some effect," Zayden replied, looking at Olivia, who was asleep on the bed."Excuse me, sir." Clif appeared at the door."We talk outside," Zayden said.They all left the room."What's wrong, Clif?" asked Zayden when they reached the bottom floor.When I came to check, Aland was still alive, but the car had already disappeared. I believe he ran away," Clif reported.Zayden instructed Clif to inspect and care for Aland's body if he died."Yeah, I already suspected that she wouldn't die that quickly," Zayden said. "Let it go, as long as he doesn't bother Olivia.""Are you going to keep Olivia here, Zay?" asked Bastian."I think so. Olivia gets scared at the villa, and this seems to be the only place she recognizes and can calm her down," Zayden said. "I'll pul
In the silence of the room, Zayden bowed his head with a teary gaze. Unconsciously, he shed his tears, feeling very hurt. Who knows how long this will last, or how long Olivia will be able to survive?"What should I do, Oliv?" muttered Zayden.For the first time, he felt incredibly weak, witnessing the woman he loved endure such a difficult situation because of his actions. Even though he knew that everything happened because of Olivia's relationship with Zayden, the man still selfishly did not want to let go of his woman.There was a knock on the door, and Zayden quickly wiped away his tears."Yes?" asked Zayden."The big mistress is waiting for you downstairs." Clif's voice was there."Alright, I'll be right down," Zayden said from his seat.Zayden walked over to Renata, who was already in the living room next to Olivia's room."Mom?""Zayden, how is Olivia? Could you explain how the chip hypnotized her? She became agg
It was late at night, and the atmosphere around the Sanders mansion was getting quieter, as if the world outside had fallen asleep. Inside the spacious garden, there were Zayden and Olivia, who were enjoying a leisurely walk in the garden area.The pitch-black sky with no stars seemed to envelop them in a romantic atmosphere that made their hearts flutter. Zayden's embrace on Olivia's waist, who is pregnant, never leaves, signaling a deep love and a sense of protection that is irreplaceable, like he is a protector who is ready to face anything for the happiness of his wife and their future baby.“It's quite cold tonight,” Olivia said.“Do you want to come in?” Zayden asked.“No, I don't. I want to enjoy this relaxing situation with you,” Olivia said with a gentle smile.“If you feel tired, just say so. We can stop and sit down; don't push yourself, especially since you're pregnant with twins,” said Zayden.“No need to worry. I'm a strong mom-to-be,” Olivia chuckled. “Daddy is Zayden S
A few months later... “You're so beautiful, Ivy. And graceful, of course,” praised Olivia as her belly grew quite large. “I'm so fluttery, sis. Isn't my appearance embarrassing? I'm not used to dressing like this,” Ivy said very nervously there. “Of course not. I've taught you how to walk gracefully and quietly. So, don't let me down, okay?” Olivia said, making Ivy's face even more nervous. Ivy still couldn't believe that, like a dream, the day would come when she would tie the knot with Clif. Imagine that the man she had always rejected as a child, growing up together in Black Cat, would now be her husband.In the past, Ivy had always envisioned her life as that of a devoted bodyguard, protecting her superiors relentlessly, thinking of it as her life's purpose. She thought, Why bother thinking about love and relationships when there are more noble pursuits?However, all that starts to change when he has to be the bodyguard of Olivia,
“Mr. Zayden!” the call stopped Zayden who was walking in the corridor of the United Kingdom royal mansion. He was slightly startled and immediately stopped his steps, turning his head curiously towards the voice calling his name. At that moment, his eyes caught a group of women with big smiles on their faces, feeling a mix of confused and uncomfortable. “What's wrong?” he asked, trying to maintain a cool tone of voice despite feeling disturbed and uncomfortable inside. Suddenly, the swarm of women approached eagerly, each clutching a colorful bouquet of flowers, where the fresh scent of roses and lilies seemed to fill the air, plus some neatly wrapped gifts. Zayden had never imagined that he would be surrounded by fans from all walks of life, and perhaps because he had already won several tournaments, things felt a little different. One of them, with curly hair and sparkling eyes, stepped forward and handed over the large, beautiful-loo
“Oliv!” Zayden arrived at the room Olivia was in, his body covered in sweat and his breathing ragged from running from the field to this resting place. He had really had a grueling time on the field, contributing to every play. With his t-shirt soaking wet, Zayden felt extremely tired, but somehow, out of concern, he didn't care. When the door to the room opened, the fresh scent of air conditioning greeted him, and there, he saw Olivia asleep on the bed with her eyes closed. Ariana seemed to have just finished checking on her unconscious wife. “What about her? What's going on?” Zayden asked Ariana with concern and a very troubled look in his eyes. “Calm down, your wife is fine,” replied Ariana as she put the medical equipment back into her bag. “What's wrong? She wouldn't have fainted if she was fine,” Zayden protested in annoyance. “Calm down, Zayden. Olivia threw up quite a lot and collapsed from exhaustion,” Aria
“Wow, that looks like it's going to be interesting,” Kimberly said, looking at the field with enthusiasm. She kept looking at her husband, who was already preparing on the field with his team.“They're so dashing,” Evelyn said.“Hopefully this time they will win,” said Olivia.“You guys just calm down. They will win; they never lose. In fact, you should be worried about their opponents; after all, why do they continue to compete if it is clear who will be the winner?” said Ariana.“As usual. They just want to charm and show off their skills,” said Javeera.“So is it going to be boring?” asked Kimberly.“Of course not. When they show up, we'll enjoy it. Yes, that's another advantage of our husbands,” said Javeera, making the others chuckle.Olivia looked up at Zayden, who was wearing a blue cap and a white and blue team uniform that matched her perfectl
However, seeing the enthusiasm of the people around her, she began to feel excited to join in the fun, looking forward to the matches that were about to begin and feeling the warmth of togetherness amidst all the flashy crowds.“Olivia, come here,” Ariana called.“Can I sit with the ladies over there?” Olivia questioned Zayden.“Go ahead. I'm getting ready for the tournament,” Zayden said.“All right. I hope you do well,” Olivia encouraged her husband.Olivia sat down to join the women and immediately started talking about the tournament.“What tournament is being held today?” Olivia asked.“An object-shooting riding tournament,” Ariana replied.“They're going to be cowboys,” chuckled Rainy, Javeera's sister.And there was a sound from the podium area in the field area, signaling that the long-awaited tournament was finally about to begin
The following day, after breakfast, Zayden went with the men to do some horse riding and archery training. It turned out that they didn't have that much time to walk around. Ariana joined Olivia, and the women were practicing shooting exercises in the training room.“Oliv, can you ride a horse?” asked Ariana.“I've tried; it's just that I haven't ridden a horse in a long time,” Olivia replied.“I'll ask the ranch manager to prepare a horse that is completely tame for you. After shooting practice, would you like to try riding a horse? asked Ariana.“Yes, Sis.”Olivia saw Ariana as more cheerful, as if the burden on her shoulders had just been lifted from her. Even after the incident, Olivia did not expect to be close to Ariana again.The atmosphere inside the shooting range practice room mesmerized Olivia as soon as she entered. The room was much larger than she had imagined, complete with all the sop
“Is this the United Kingdom's royal house?” asked Olivia when they arrived.“Yes, this is the United Kingdom. Zayden replied, "This is the home of Archil and Javeera."In front of Olivia stood a United Kingdom royal castle that really fascinated her, like it came from a fairy tale she read as a child. The building was towering, with magnificent architecture that made anyone feel so small, coupled with ornamental details that emphasized the luxury typical of the British kingdom. Several formally dressed guards stood guard at the entrance area, looking dashing and serious, as if guarding the precious secrets kept within the castle's walls.The large windows gleaming in the sunlight added a sense of elegance to the building, making Olivia imagine how beautiful the view inside would be. And let's not forget the luxurious cars lined up in front, shiny and expensive-looking, making Olivia even more amazed. All this time, she thought the Sanders resid
"I can finally face the person who killed my husband!" Ariana exclaimed, causing Jakson to open his eyes. He was surprised to see Ariana standing in front of him, and behind her, Zayden, with her sharp eyes."Wh-what are you doing here?" asked Jakson, becoming agitated. He started to struggle, but the chains binding him were strong enough to overwhelm him."Am I wasting my time rebelling when I know I can't escape?" Ariana said this as she walked out of the cell. After a few seconds, she returned with a golf club and a whip in her hand."What do you want to do? Why are you carrying that?" asked Jakson apprehensively."Why do you feel scared just by looking at this?" Ariana inquired. "Didn't you arrogantly kill my husband and make Olivia hurt?" Ariana was very annoyed. "Don't tell me you're scared because you saw this.""Zayden Sanders! Please give me a chance; I can definitely be of use to you. Make me your partner; I'll definitely be more useful t
