Alex gripped the steering wheel and his teeth chattered. "I will not move my car a single millimeter until you are willing to accept my request. Be my lover, Angelina.""Alex, this cannot be forced, especially since I don't love you, what reason do I have to accept your offer?" Angelina still refused."What reason do you ask? Because I love you, Angelina," Alex replied with a serious look in his eyes.Angelina looked away. "It can't be a couple if only one of them loves, while the other one has another heart," Angelina said expressing her complicated sentence.Alex frowned. "What do you mean, do you already have a lover, Angelina?" asked Alex smelling something bad."Yes, you're right. I do have a boyfriend." Angelina spoke carefree.Alex tightened his grip on the steering wheel. "Shit!" cursed Alex furiously."Oh, I knew you were lying, Angelina. You said that you already had a boyfriend so you could turn me down. Is that it?""That's not an excuse, it's the truth.""What reality?""
Alex went into her room to check on Angelina. In his hand, Alex carried a paper part to give to Angelina. And Angelina remained in the same position for hours."I've bought you clothes, take a shower. After that we have dinner. You haven't filled your stomach since this afternoon," Alex said patiently.Angelina didn't budge an inch. It tested the patience of Alex who did not have much patience."Angelina, please. Don't test my patience. Don't force me to be rude to you, I'm not that good, Angelina." Alex persuaded Angelina.Angelina closed her eyes for a long time, then got better. "I'm going to take a shower, you wait outside. I'll go straight outside after I finish showering," replied Angelina trying to be friendly even though her heart was troubled."Alright, please hurry.""Yes."Without another word, Alex left the room and Angelina went straight to the bathroom to clean herself up.***The cold attacked when Angelina finished bathing and deliberately used cold water.Coming to th
"I'm done, I'm going to my room," said Angelina, who immediately left the venue.Without realizing it, there was a slight pain in her leg, was it from the hot water earlier? Angelina was limping now.Alex moved swiftly and immediately carried Angelina's bridal style. Angelina automatically put her arms around Alex's neck out of reflex.Their faces were very close now. Apart from feeling nervous, Angelina was also fascinated by Alex's good looks. Beautiful green eyes, a sharp nose, thick eyebrows, and fine hair around his face, made Angelina hypnotized until she had no intention of taking her eyes off him. Angelina admired Alex's physical perfection."Are you satisfied with my good looks?" chirped Alex suddenly.Angelina was immediately stunned. She looked away while hiding her reddened face because she was embarrassed to have been caught stealing glances."You don't have to do that, I can walk by myself," said Angelina deliberately not responding to Alex's words."Do you think I'm bli
Angelina opened her mouth when she heard Alex's last sentence before she slammed the door. How did she know who was calling Angelina? Even though it was very clear Alex didn't see it."I think he has special powers," muttered Angelina in solitude.Just as she was regaining consciousness from her reverie, the mobile phone in her hand rang again. Her boyfriend's name was listed as the caller.Actually if she could, Angelina didn't want to take the call, but Angelina was afraid her lover would worry about her. So inevitably she had to answer the call."Hello," greeted Angelina softly."Angelina, oh my! Why aren't you answering my calls?" Oliver - Angelina's boyfriend - showed his concern."Sorry, I was in the bathroom earlier," Angelina lied back."Oh, so you were in the bathroom. No wonder you didn't open the door even though I pressed the bell dozens of times," Olivia said."What?""What's wrong, Angelina? Why do you sound so surprised?" Oliver asked."Ha? N-no. No, I mean, I'm not in
"So what if I fall in love? Is that wrong?" Alex sounded defiant.The person on the other side laughed. "Hmm... there's an upside and a downside if you're really in love, Alex," Roy said out loud."What do you mean?""Well, on the plus side, you'll probably complete your mission quicker once you've had the pleasure of meeting your girl quickly. But the downside is, you're so impatient to meet your girl that you might rush your mission and it might lead to failure. People in love are very difficult to control, and they are always self-righteous. So be careful!""Don't talk too much and don't say nonsense! I won't be like that," Alex said confidently."Oh, is that so? You won't know until you experience it yourself. So, let's see," Roy said with a cynical sneer.Tut.Alex disconnected the phone unilaterally, making the person on the other end splutter in annoyance."Chatty!" snapped Alex as he looked at his mobile phone that had just been used to call Roy as if Roy would be able to hear
"You're too confident. After all, admiring doesn't mean loving, right?""Oh? Then let's see. Or do you want to bet with me?" asked Alex."No!""I bet you'll fall in love with me sooner or later.""Stop talking and let me sleep, Alexander Dominik!" exclaimed Angelina irritably.Alex chuckled. He knew Angelina was being evasive."Well, go to bed. Hope you get better soon, sweetheart," Alex said, deliberately teasing the woman in front of him to see her reaction.For some reason, Angelina felt embarrassed when Alex called her that. Angelina moved to turn her back to Alex again, then pulled the blanket to cover all parts of her body until her head.Angelina felt her heart beat faster instantly. I don't know what she feels now. But clearly, Angelina felt comfortable not feeling disturbed when Alex got her affectionate words. Whereas all this time she had always refused Oliver not to call her by a special title.Speaking of Oliver, the counting man is Angelina's senior at her campus but has
"Oliver, me, we-" "Angelina, what would you like to eat? Take your pick." Oliver handed the menu book to the girl who currently held the status of his lover. Angelina smiled slightly. "I'll eat whatever you choose, so whatever you order, okay?" replied Angelina. "Is that so? Okay, I'll choose the food," said Oliver. Angelina gave a small nod while publishing a faint smile. While waiting for Oliver to finish ordering, Angelina was busy and struggling with her thoughts. The more she felt, the more she felt uncomfortable with the relationship she was in. The floating relationship makes it seem empty to live in. Oh, is it true that Angelina has not enjoyed her relationship with Oliver so far? Or is it because Alex suddenly came into her life and was willing to sacrifice for her who she had just met? 'No, Angelina, you can't be rash. After all, Oliver is much better than that rude and pushy man. You will be much safer with Oliver, and your future will also be secured because Oliver i
Alex entered Club Deluxe. He felt he could get clues from the place, especially from Maria Hudson."Where is Maria Hudson? I want to meet her." Alex asked one of the jobs at the club."Madame is in her room. Please wait in the parlour, I will call Madame for you.""Hm." Alex walked haughtily through the work.Sitting on the sofa with one leg up, Alex impatiently awaited Maria Hudson's arrival."Oh my! Is she taking so long? Is she making me wait on purpose?" Alex grumbled in annoyance.He was already very upset that Angelina dared to run away, and now he had to wait for Maria Hudson for a long time."Shit!" Alex cursed.Tuk tuk tuk!The regular tapping sound of footwear against the floor became more and more distinct, signalling someone was coming."Mr. Alexander Dominik. You seem to be very agitated, do you need anything?" asked Maria Hudson in her usual casual manner."Tell me, what do you need, Alex? I know you're not coming to see me for nothing, right?" Maria Hudson continued."I
Alex and Emily immediately locked mouths when Louis called out for everyone to be quiet. And both of them looked away."Akh! Damn, are you hurting me on purpose?" Alex suddenly groaned in pain when Louis did an action that managed to make Alex hurt."It's noisy! I said be quiet!" snapped Louis ignoring Alex who blamed him."If you weren't my friend, I'd sue you!" said Alex sharply."Sue me, I'm not afraid," Louis replied casually."That's it, now you can blab all you want!" Louis said again.Louis had finished treating the wound on Alex's shoulder and repairing the stitches that had opened due to Oliver's actions earlier. Taking off his gloves, Louis let the nurse clean up the tools that had just been used."I'm not in the mood! I forgot what I was going to say earlier," Alex retorted irritably."You forgot but I didn't. You think I'm defending Oliver and accuse me of doing that because I like him, you're crazy!" snapped Emily realizing her protest that was stopped by Louis moments ag
"Move me to the same room as Angelina, Lou, I want to be with her," Alex pleaded as the man was taken to his own ward.Louis wanted to argue but Dominik's voice silenced him."Please just do what he wants, Louis, there's no time to argue!""Alright, Uncle, I understand. I'll arrange it right away," Louis replied unable to argue.Louis immediately went out of the room and asked for the help of some officers to help move Alex to the same room as Angelina.Several officers entered Angelina's ward where Louis' colleague, Doctor Yenny, was already present, in addition to Josh and Emily."What's wrong, Doctor Louis? Why are you here? Aren't you taking care of your patients?" Yenny asked."Doctor Yenny, sorry to bother you but I need you to help me. Alex wants to be moved to the same room as Angelina, so please help me organize this room, is that okay?" Louis said asking for approval."Louis, is Alex okay?" asked Angelina weakly."Just think of yourself, Angelina. I'll move him here soon. He
"Emily, that's Oliver's voice, isn't it? Is he with Alex right now? What are they doing?" Suddenly, Angelina was attacked by panic after hearing Oliver's voice shouting and ended up mentioning Alex's name."It looks like they're together, Angelina," Emily replied in the affirmative."You don't need to interfere in my business with Angelina, nor do you have the right to say about who deserves to love Angelina. Do you think you're performing for her?" Alex's voice was just as loud as Oliver's earlier."They really are together, Emily, but why is Oliver here? Isn't he supposed to be working out of town?" asked Angelina frowning."I forgot to tell you, he transferred to this hospital, Angelina," Emily explained."What? No! We need to get to them fast, Emily!" Instantly Angelina had a bad feeling. She was afraid there would be a fight between the two men. Especially now that Alex's condition was very weak, Angelina was worried about Alex, very much.Emily just nodded and then immediately h
"Angelina, don't run around, you're still not fully recovered so--""Akh!"Before Emily could finish her sentence, Angelina was already groaning in pain while holding her stomach."Angelina! You're in pain, we should just go back to the ward, okay? Let Louis and the others take care of Alex," persuaded Emily who could not bear to see Angelina in pain."No, Emily, we're already here, I don't want to go back. I have to see Alex." Angelina did not agree to Emily's invitation because they had walked far and soon they reached the rooftop, Angelina did not want what she had done earlier to be in vain if she returned to her ward."You're stubborn! Let me help you, don't run around anymore, I'll lead you, just slow down," Emily said and Angelina could only nod without being able to refuse.One by one they climbed the stairs, and it felt like they took a very long time even though there were only a few stairs left for them to reach the rooftop. It was because Angelina was having trouble walkin
"I've given up. I'm not sure I'll still be accepted by Angelina," Alex said as he returned to his ward."What's more now she's alone with Emily and we all know Emily expressed her reservations about my relationship with Angelina. I'm afraid Emily is poisoning Angelina's mind," Alex added."Don't be prejudiced against Emily, I know she won't pressure her best friend, she must respect Angelina's decision. Emily is not a selfish girl," Louis replied."You're so insecure, I'm not sure you really love Angelina, Alex," a middle-aged man chided."What do you mean, Dad?" asked Alex frowning."If you really loved her you would be able to feel Angelina's feelings for you, and you would know the answer, whether she would accept you again or kick you out of her life," Dominik explained.Alex was silent for a long time. He thought hard and remembered little by little about the days he had passed together with Angelina.Alex felt that what his father said was right. If Alex really loved Angelina he
After Louis and the others left, there was silence in Angelina's ward.Angelina chose to remain silent. She wanted to discuss it with Emily but she was already insecure because Emily had said her opinion earlier, that she did not expect her to return with Alex.No different from Angelina who kept feeling reluctant, Emily also chose to remain silent because she was worried that if she talked too much it would add to Angelina's burden of mind. Moreover, she has already argued about her objection to her best friend accepting Alex's invitation to get back together.Angelina pulled the blanket up more, until it covered her chest, if earlier it only covered her stomach."Rest, Angelina, I will accompany you here and I will not let them bother you," Emily said to reduce awkwardness."Thank you, Emily. If you're tired you can come up next to me, we can lie down together. This bed is quite spacious," Angelina replied.Yes, in the VIP ward, the beds were wider and could have been used by two pe
"Please help Alex up!" Caroline called out to anyone willing to help her. However, before his mother could touch her, Alex raised her hands in the air to signal his mother not to approach him."Nobody comes near me! No need to help me!" Alex exclaimed in a stern tone."Angelina, I know and I am very aware that I have hurt you a lot. I know I'm selfish if I keep asking you for a chance again and again. But, I can't just let you go either. You can be angry and hate me, but you have to believe me that I really love you. I don't think of you as someone else's shadow at all. You are you, Angelina Brigitte, the woman who healed my wounds and accepted my flaws."Kneeling on the cold floor of the air-conditioned room, barefoot, Alex spoke thus."I regret, really regret my stupidity because again I was deceived by that damn woman, I never thought Camila would cooperate with Roy, that's because I was very weak and I underestimated the enemy too much. But I promise I will be stronger from now on
Angelina didn't answer Alex's question, the girl kept looking away, not wanting to look at Alex at all."Angelina, why won't you look at me? Are you angry with me?" Alex asked again because Angelina never answered."Alex, go back to your ward. Both you and I need a good rest, so get out of here and let me rest," said Angelina, glancing at Alex and then looking away again."Can you all get out and leave me alone with Angelina?" Not caring about Angelina who kicked him out, Alex just asked everyone to come out. And that made Angelina gasp."I asked you to come out, why are you kicking everyone out, Alex?" protested Angelina."If you don't want to talk in front of everyone, then let everyone out. Let's talk alone," Alex said. "I have a lot to talk to you about, and I'm sure you have some things to tell me too, right?" Alex continued."I'm not going to leave you two here alone. The others can go out, but I will accompany Angelina here," said Emily who did not want to leave the two of them
"Angelina, please don't be like this. Don't do this, you can't be like this, stop, Angelina!" Emily shrieked at the sight of Angelina who was on a rampage, throwing everything that was attached to her. The girl had reached the peak of patience, now she was desperate."Go, Emily, get out of my way, just let me die. I've lost my baby. I've lost the life I longed for, everything has perished, and even happiness has left me. Suffering after suffering keeps coming and going, I'm tired, and I can't take it anymore. I want to see Mum and William, let me follow them to God's side!" Angelina was ranting and raging uncontrollably. But because Angelina's body was still weak, Emily had little trouble dealing with her best friend."Don't ever say that, Angelina, don't be stupid! Happiness doesn't leave you, it's just that it will come at the right time, believe me. If you believe in God then believe that God will give you what you need!" Emily spoke in a high tone to wake up her best friend."Then
