2024-10-29 19:42:56Jocelyn and Ethan glared. The same thought flashed through their heads.
Shello did not recognize Satya's face. Shello only knew his name, not his face.
And it was evident from the way Shello looked at Satya. Shello was really relieved. Or rather, incredibly relieved. It was as if all this time, Shello had been lost and felt surrounded by strangers until she finally met her family. Damn, that person wasn't even her family!
Shello gently stroked the man's hand, then said, "Get well soon, okay, Satya? I don't know how I would be without you. I need you."
And it was those words that made Jocelyn stop forcing herself to think about doing whatever was best for Shello right now. There was an answer. Right in front of her.
"Nurse, please let me know as soon as Satya wakes up, okay?" Shello ordered, which the nurse immediately agreed to. Shello then let go of Satya's hand and nodded at the nurse, allowing the nurse to take her back to her room.

Bad Influence 10. Awakened
What precisely Jocelyn did all day, even the next few days, were verifying data, removing anything that could be used for further identification, pulling files from the police, and other things that could make people suspicious about Satya. It turned out that there was an advantage that Satya had lived alone and had been working in Malacca all this time. He had almost no contacts in Jakarta other than those related to Jocelyn and Shello. It was very helpful. In addition, Jocelyn also asked her lawyer to do a background check on Shawn, the person who would replace Satya in the future. After getting enough information, Jocelyn grew more optimistic about this plan. So, as soon as she got a call from the hospital stating that Shawn was awake, Jocelyn immediately rushed to the hospital with Ethan. At least, until she found the two people who picked up Satya's body the other day were now in Shawn's room, talking to Shawn, who was already able to sit on his bed. Joc
Bad Influence 11. Intention
Arga and May were suddenly dumbfounded, and Shawn... gasped. Shawn tried to control the emotions that made him unmoved for a long time before he finally spoke again. This time, his voice sounded softer even though his face still looked tense. "It was an accident. No one wanted that, but if it was bad fate..." "We could minimize traffic accidents by driving straight in our lane instead of stealing other people's lanes recklessly which causes those who drive their vehicle according to the rules to get the sap and... die on the spot." Jocelyn's words sounded like speeches that had been rehearsed days before. Shawn was surprised, of course. However, he had nothing to say. So, it was May who came forward and said in an annoyed tone, "Ma'am, please, don't make carelessly accusations like that!" "Carelessly accuse?" Jocelyn laughed a little. "I have seen the evidence directly from the footage cam of the victim's car. And that's precisely what I saw happened that nig

Was this woman out of her mind? Yeah, yeah, Shawn had heard the rest of the talk. That her niece was an amnesiac and his niece's fiancée died. The problem was, this Shello only remembered Satya, and that way, only Satya could help recover Shello's memory. However, was that could make Jocelyn easily say, "And since none of this would have happened without your negligence, I think if anyone could be responsible for the mess in our family..., then you're the one." Silence. There was no sound or response from Shawn. There was only the sound of the wind blowing from the air conditioner in the room. Shawn's friends gawked, and Shawn remained silent, at least until a moment later, when Shawn's laughter suddenly broke out, startling everyone in the whole room. While Shawn's friends immediately understood why Shawn laughed, Jocelyn and Ethan were confused. How could Shawn laugh at other people's suffering?! "You think this is funny?" snapped Ethan, annoyed as
Bad Influence 1. The Mad Shawn
With one drifting move, Shawn overtook the Mustang that was driving around the corner just a few meters from the finish line. The Mustang's driver was already optimistic that he would emerge victorious from the turn, at least until the flawless drifting action of the matte black GT-R erased any confidence in the Mustang's driver. In just a few seconds that seemed blurry to the eyes of the Mustang's driver, the GT-R managed to touch the finish line and greeted his victory with a twisting action using an amazing drift technique.Shawn came down confidently from the GT-R. Sleight of a smile crept on his lips. In an instant, Shawn had become the center of attention in the wild race arena filled with crowds that night. A man slipped through the crowd to hand Shawn a roll of a hundred thousand before returning to let Shawn have fun with all the attention given to Shawn, including from two girls who were busy clinging to Shawn's side.Shawn let go of the girls when Toni appro

"What the hell are you doing here?" said Shawn loudly. "Answer me!"Instead of answering, Samara looked around, looking for something. Her eyes were full of worried. Shawn frowned, but before Shawn could ask, Samara had already said, "No, you can't be here. You have to get out of here. Go, Brother," as she tried to push Shawn away.Of course, Shawn refused. Samara couldn't even move Shawn, not for a second. "I'll go if you come," said Shawn making Samara glare."Sammy can't do that. Sammy has to work.""Working on what at this late, Sam?" Shawn snapped. "And in the hotel?" he asked.Shawn slightly pulled Samara's coat, causing Samara to get rid of Shawn's hand quickly."With clothes like that?" added Shawn."Sammy's just....""Don't try to fool me!" Shawn snapped to silence Samara. "I know what you're doing, and don't force me to go upstairs to kill the person in that room!" Shawn said, and before Samara could argue, Shawn had

Samara's face was sad, but she tried to calm Shawn down. "Brother, no...""Fuck!" Shawn cursed while kicking a nearby trash can. His face was red, and his hands were clenched into fists. "Where is she? Let me find her!"Samara quickly shook her head and looked at Shawn worriedly. "No, Brother, please. Sammy is sincere as long as mommy can recover quickly.""She's not sick, Sam! Why is it so hard for you to understand, huh?!" said Shawn angrily. "500 million? Which rehab that's so expensive like that! And where do you think she got the money to pay off? There's no way she can collect that much money! Do you know what she means by doing this?" he asked sharply. "So that she doesn't have to think about you again for the rest of her life," he said. "Why? Because she doesn't love us, that's why she wants us away from her life!"Samara's tears finally spilled. She tried to hold back, but she couldn't. The memories and all those violent words were still vivid in
Bad Influence 4. Legacy Ring
Shello suddenly remembered that she had not yet given an answer to Satya. So Shello nodded. "Yes, I will marry you," answered Shello. Satya immediately put the beautiful ring on Shello's ring finger, then kissed Shello's hand. Ah, Shello couldn't believe she was getting married. And this fast. With Satya, her lover. Wasn't that every girl's dream? Was this happiness enough? Yes, this should be the happiest day for her. Shello knew that. But, for some reason, something stuck in her heart. Of course, she wanted to get married. But why didn't it feel as fun as she imagined? Or... it's just that her expectations were too high? However, how high would she want to be? Satya took Shello to a luxury villa that has the perfect spot to watch the sunset. Just as the sun was setting, Satya got down on one knee and proposed to Shello accompanied by music played by the saxophone player Satya had hired. Proposed to her with a diamond ring that Shello knew cost hundreds of m
Bad Influence 5. The Accident
Shello smiled. "Not believe it more and more," Shello answered, making Satya finally carve a smile on his face. "It's just a myth. I've always believed it was just a myth." Shello then removed the ring from Satya's ring finger and transferred it to Satya's little finger. "So it's a bit loose," said Satya, little goosebumps that the ring still didn't fit on his finger. The ring might just accidentally fall. "We'll enlarge the measure of the ring so it will fit your ring finger," said Shello. "It's mine now. So, I think this is my right," said Shello before Satya could argue. "Now, come on, let's go home!" she invited. Satya stretched out his hand. "Ah, I can't wait to go home and tell the world that I'm gonna be your husband," Satya said, making Shello laugh. *** "Are we going to pick up mommy?" asked Samara on the way. Shawn glanced at Samara for a second, then looked back at the road with a grin. "What for? Do I have excess mo

Bad Influence 8. Mistaken
Jocelyn's voice was too low for the nurse accompanying them to hear, but Jocelyn's pale face caught the nurse's attention. "Is there something wrong, Ma'am?" the nurse asked, but Jocelyn ignored her. She was still too surprised to find that the one sleeping in the room was not Satya but someone else. Seeing his mother's unresponsiveness, Ethan spoke up, "Is this one of the victims of the accident?" asked Ethan, and when the nurse nodded, Ethan continued, "How did you identify the victim and determine if this person was Satya?" The nurse frowned in confusion but still answered, "Indeed, his name is Satya." Ethan looked at the nurse in annoyance. "Then, another victim, what is his name?" "Incidentally, they have the same name. Satya too," said the nurse, which instantly made Ethan frown, and Jocelyn looked at the nurse in confusion. The nurse immediately added, "It's not exactly the same. But they both have Satya on their full name." "Th
Bad Influence 7. Jocelyn
Amnesia?! Ah, Jocelyn could even feel the chills on her spine when she heard the doctor say that word. A week ago, Shello was still fine. Jocelyn even happily let Shello go to the villa on the highland with Satya, already knowing that Satya would propose to her there and Shello would return with an engagement ring. Yes, Shello did come back with a ring on her ring finger, not with memory in her head. Shello awoke with no memory. She did not recognize Jocelyn, the only aunt who took care of her while in Indonesia. She did not recognize Ethan, her cousin, aka Jocelyn's son, who, together with Jocelyn, took care of Shello during a coma. And as if it wasn't bad enough, Shello even looked terrified at Jocelyn. There were only two things Shello kept saying. Ring and Satya. That meant those were the only things she could remember. Jocelyn's half-consciousness drifted to all the preparations, plans, and now... change of plans? Oh, Jocelyn couldn't bear to ima
Bad Influence 6. The Ring
"Are you sure you want to drive? Kinda far away, you know, Shell? And it's midnight already," said Satya anxiously as soon as Shello got into the driver's seat and fastened the seatbelt. "It’s okay. It's not like we have a choice. You left your wallet, right? So lucky we realized it now. Try if we find out later when the police stop the car." "I think it'll be safe, Shell. It was safe when we were on the way here, right? I'm also not the type of person who draws attention when I drive—not easily suspected by the police, aka not a speeding and reckless driver. That's if there are police. When we came here, there were no police," said Satya. Shello clicked on the handbrake and stepped on the gas pedal until the car started to run. "There weren't. It's not a guarantee that there won't be any, right? What's the problem anyway? Not that I don't know how to drive this. Can't believe I can take you safely?" "It's not like that, sweetheart," said Satya softly
