"What were you doing here last night, Zayden?" asked Bastian as he approached Zayden, who sat pensively alone in the Sanders mansion's backyard."I feel like all the things I did and planned didn't go my way," Zayden complained."This must be Olivia's problem. Daddy heard from one of the members that you and Olivia were fighting at headquarters," Bastian said. "What happened?""I don't know how stupid I am." On the one hand, I genuinely want Olivia to know that I am her husband, as my deep longing for her feels like a crushing weight on my chest every moment. With that curse, I also don't want her by my side. I'm afraid she'll get hurt again, and her life will be threatened. One time, maybe she can be saved, but there won't be a second time," Zayden said."Curse? There's no such thing in our family, Zayden," Bastian said."I want to believe it, but this has happened multiple times." Before Casano, Ariana was engaged to a man who worked at Wiratama's company, but he ended up dying for
"Sir, Madam will leave now for the Mateus residence," said Clif, standing in the doorway of the room where Zayden was.Zayden was standing by the window. His sad gaze was fixed on the room's windows. "Yes, I know," Zayden replied there."Um, aren't you going to take Madame Or?" Clif was quite hesitant to say that."No, Clif. She might not be comfortable with me being there." Zayden watched Olivia and Ivy, who had just left the Sanders residence. Several cars were lined up in front of the large doors to take Olivia away."Are all the preparations done? All safe and sound, right?" Zayden asked."Yes, sir. I have seen all of Madame's preparations. There's nothing missing there," said Clif."Good."The luxury car slowly pulled away from Sanders' luxurious residence. Olivia, with puffy eyes and a wounded heart, sat in the car with Ivy. In several other cars, several bodyguards sent by Zayden were on standby, guarding Olivia and making sure she was okay.From behind the high window of her o
When the door of the Black Cat headquarters opened, Javier, Archil, Devan, Marcello, Dimitri, and Glen's steps stopped for a moment. They gazed around the notorious Black Cat headquarters, a place where they had once fought and trained alongside Zayden.The cold and heavy atmosphere immediately enveloped them, but there was a sense of warmth as they saw Zayden standing there, waiting with a faint smile."Don't you guys get airsick?" Zayden asked with a small joke."Yeah, a little, I guess," Marcello replied. "By the way, little brother, didn't you provide a lady for our entertainment?""Who's little brother, old Om?" sneered Zayden, making the others chuckle."I think our little brother has grown up; we are automatically getting old, aren't we?" asked Marcel."You're old; I'm not," replied Javier as he walked in and sat on the sofa."What a plywood board," Marcel complained."Don't think about women all the time. Did you forget that your wife is pregnant with your third child? Tsk, yo
"Why did Zayden have to hide this book from me? He should have given it to me so I could remember it," Olivia muttered.Olivia was seated in the corner of her room, the dim light from the table lamp highlighting the tattered diary. She began to open the diary, page after page, filled with her own handwriting that now felt so foreign. In her head, every word and story contained a fragment of a long-lost memory.Her hands trembled as she went further and further into the pages; with every word scribbled, there was a story of love and hurt. Her eyes glazed over as she read about the early days of meeting Zayden, about how she fell in love with him, and about the smile that always brought happiness to her gloomy day.However, the tears began to flow freely as the next pages revealed the unbearable pain. Olivia reads about unbearable headaches, which she later learns are the effects of the microchip. The pages also reveal how she, in desperation and confusion, repeatedly tries to harm Zayd
In the midst of the tension that engulfed the Mateus residence, the atmosphere turned tense when a sniper invisible to the human eye began to launch deadly attacks.With well-honed skills, the sniper hid in strategic locations, utilising every crevice and shadow to avoid detection by the guards in charge of the residence's security. Each shot fired rang out clearly, echoing in the night's silence, and hit its mark, causing the guards to fall down one by one, losing their lives in an instant.In an increasingly chaotic situation, their surviving comrades tried to find cover and devise a plan to counter the attack, but the uncertainty and unknown enemy made it difficult. They chose to hide with weapons in hand.Many of them also felt the psychological impact of this sudden attack, where the sense of security they previously had suddenly vanished, replaced by a deadly threat coming from an unexpected direction.In a matter of minutes, the location that was once thought to be safe became
"Let me go!" Olivia tried to rebel but it was very difficult because the strength of the men dragging her was so strong, and Olivia's strength was nothing compared to the strength of the two men dragging her.When the kidnappers forced Olivia into the van, she thought she was in a never-ending nightmare.Inside the dark and stuffy van, she felt as if the outside world were far away; the sound of footsteps sounded faintly, as if she were behind a thick wall. The woman had no more energy to rebel; her body was exhausted after trying her best to resist, but now, as she was confined in the cool car, all her struggles seemed to be in vain.In the darkness, with the gaps of light from the rapidly passing streetlights, Olivia could only pray that someone would realise her presence and dare to risk all to save her. Although her heart was filled with fear and despair, she tried to remain calm, hoping that all of this was just a misunderstanding that could soon be cleared up. But in the corner
Zayden saw Jakson moving quickly towards her with a rock in his hand, and then Zayden hugged Olivia with his long legs, which managed to kick Jakson in the stomach and make him take a few steps back.The atmosphere was tense; Zayden and Jakson were fighting quite vigorously, while on the other hand, the gunfight was still going on in the background, but their attention was focused on the confrontation that was now heating up.Jakson's body hit the tree trunk hard. Zayden was furious when he saw Jakson choke Olivia earlier. And out of nowhere, Jakson moved quickly towards Olivia and pulled her roughly with bated breath, his large hand wrapped tightly around Olivia's neck and the cold tip of the gun touching her temple, making Olivia's blood seem to freeze."Stop, Zayden! Stand back! Or I'll blow your wife's head off!" Jakson shouted in a booming voice, filling the night's silence.Zayden, with a tense and frustrated look on his face, refused to back down.His eyes were locked on Olivia
"Please wake up. With her sobs!" Olivia called, "Jonathan!"Amidst the cacophony of battle, Olivia's shrill scream broke the silence, forcing Zayden, who was fighting three enemies, to turn his head. His eyes rounded at the sight of Jonathan lying on the ground, his body covered in blood on the dusty ground. Olivia, her face deathly pale, continued to call Jonathan's name, her cries breaking the hearts of anyone who heard her.Zayden, who had been fighting three enemies at once, suddenly felt his adrenaline pumping harder. He caught Nevan's shadowy movement as he pointed his gun at Olivia. With a gasp, Zayden called out to Marcello, "Take them out!"Without waiting for confirmation, he was already darting off, leaving Marcello, who nodded and took his position in the fight. Zayden's steps were swift and sure, and every movement was filled with determination. He spotted Nevan, an old man with cold eyes, staring at Olivia brandishing his weapon, and without hesita
