Elena slammed her back against the back of the car seat as soon as she entered the vehicle. Her arms were folded across her chest, while tears streamed down her crimson face.Gideon was surprised as he entered the car. He slowly closed the car door with his gaze focused on the sobbing woman next to the driver's seat."What happened to you, Elena?" The panic was evident on Gideon's face. The man's eyes narrowed as he found his sister's face already flooded with tears."Are you crying? Tell me what hurt you this much, Elena." Gideon could catch a flash of anger that was almost drowned out by the grief Elena was experiencing.Elena unzipped the bag she was wearing. Gideon frowned at what his little sister was doing. From her luxury-branded leather bag, Elena took a photo. What exactly was Elena doing?The woman wiped her wet eyes with her palms. Her nose was as red as blood.

All the teachers who had been watching walked over to Amelie as Matilda was dragged out of the meeting room. All eyes gazed pityingly at the crying Axel hugging Amelie, while the boy's mother kept petting him and telling him that he was fine."Are you okay, ma'am?" asked a woman wearing glasses with a panicked look.As some students watched the incident outside the glass-walled room, almost 97% of the students who were watching Amelie and Matilda's fight shouted the name 'Axel's mom' in support."Kids, please go back to class," Mia pleaded, to which the students shook their heads. Mia sighed at the stubbornness of her students. As she shooed them away with a hand gesture, they simultaneously said, "Leave us here, Miss. We want to prevent Axel from transferring out of school here."Miss, Axel won't transfer from this school, right?" A student with long braided hair held Mia's hand with a worried look."That's right, Miss. Please don't let Axel leave this school. We promise, we won't l

"Asher, what are you doing?" reprimanded a well-dressed man sitting in the passenger seat when his personal driver failed to start the car. The traffic light had allowed him to resume driving.Asher silently stole a glance at his cell phone after repeatedly receiving incoming messages and calls from Elena. Elena's beautiful body repeatedly disturbed his focus while driving. In fact, the bald-headed man barely heard the deafening sound of other vehicles' horns."Ah, sorry, Boss," he said before finally starting the car he was driving.That afternoon, Elena went for a walk to get rid of boredom. Actually, the woman wanted to reenact the most beautiful sin she committed with Asher, but there was no answer from the man every time Elena called.Elena's choice fell on Demiurge as a destination. She took a taxi to the shop. Angering Amelie was the option she chose to entertain herself."Good morning, Miss, how may I help you?" asked a girl in a waitress uniform as Elena sat down on one of th

That morning, Asher came to see Elena after dropping off his employer. The feeling of longing was relentless, so the man drove fast enough to arrive at Elena's place.15 meters away from Elena's yard, the bald-headed man pulled his car over on the shoulder of the road. His sharp eyes narrowed when he saw a sedan car coming out of the yard of the house he wanted to go to.The sound of a cell phone caught his attention, and he quickly picked it up.[Wait, I'll let you know if my brother has gone to work,] was the message Elena sent him.From the message, Asher could guess that the man driving the car from the house was Elena's brother. Patiently, the man waited.Asher drove the car back to the yard when the metallic black sedan he saw earlier was no longer visible on the road.Elena, who saw Asher coming that fast, was surprised. Gideon had just left five minutes ago, yet Asher had arrived before she could reach him."Why are you looking at me like that?" Asher spread both hands to sign

"So, when are you going to introduce me to your girlfriend?" asked Elena just before she resumed her eating activities.The woman's two beads looked calmly at Gideon, who seemed to sigh. An instant of sadness graced Gideon's handsome features, which made Elena's eyebrows knit together."Why? Didn't you say that you were close to a woman?" Elena seemed to be observing Gideon. But sadness dominated her brother's handsome face. "Come on, brother! Did she reject you?" Elena's question was answered with a snort by Gideon."I wasn't sure if you would be willing to listen to my story.""Why not?" Elena's face showed availability."Because the woman I approached all this time was Amelie."Elena slowed down her chewing as soon as Amelie's name was mentioned as Gideon's love interest. Jonathan and Gideon were the only siblings she had. Why did the two men in her life have to have their hearts set on the woman she hated so much? It seemed so unfair."O-oh, so the girl of your dreams is that slut

It had been half an hour since he had waited for Amelie on the steps in front of the house.From a distance, the man saw the person he was waiting for walking over. Gideon sighed heavily, remembering how embarrassing the incident at the tavern was yesterday."Doctor, uncle!" greeted Axel upon seeing the male entity sitting on the steps.The man in the shirt stood up and immediately stroked Axel's hair.Amelie sighed lazily. Gideon's face, which implied guilt, seemed to make her reluctant to look at the man's face."Come in, Axel," Amelie pleaded with her son.The boy's two clear beads looked at Amelie and Gideon in turn. The looks of the two adults showed tension between each other. Axel had no choice but to nod and enter the house.Amelie folded her arms in front of her chest and stared at the sad-faced man with a flat gaze. The night breeze seemed to freeze Gideon in

"Do you need me to accompany you?" asked Gideon once the car he was driving arrived at a lodge.Elena had asked him to drop her off at the lodge in the Lake Rotorua tourist destination, saying she wanted to enjoy the panoramic view of the lake and have some time to calm down around Lake Rotorua."No need, Gee; enjoy your weekend. I just want to be alone for now," the blonde woman said as she unloaded the suitcase filled with clothes and makeup. The woman's face lowered, revealing the sadness that Gideon felt—a real sense of sadness, even though Elena was only pretending. To cover up her mistake of berating Amelie in the shop where she worked some time ago.The incident at Demiurge had made Gideon silence Elena these past few days. The man expressed his disappointment towards Elena's inappropriate plans and actions towards Amelie, arguing, "I did it all for your sake, Gee; I'm not willing for that woman to reject and humiliate you in front of many people."Silence fell between them, u

"Do I need to wait until you get inside the house?" asked a man from behind the wheel. The man's eyes stared at the magnificent palace-like house where Elena lived with her husband's family."Oh, no need, I'll be right down," Elena said as she looked at the house, hoping that her mother-in-law would not notice her arrival. There was only Katie and Abravo talking on the steps of the terrace.When he saw Elena coming downstairs with her suitcase, Abravo quickly opened the railing to let the young lady in. Katie, who was also there at the time, carried Elena's suitcase without prompting. Katie's gaze was distracted by the white luxury car that was currently turning around. The girl was sure that it was with that car that Elena returned to the house. But who was the man driving the car?The pounding of Elena's high heels alerted Katie to immediately follow Elena into the house."I'm home, Mom," Elena said as she crossed the lounge room.The middle-aged woman who was reading the newspaper

She was going to be a bride that day."Oh my, Miss, your hands are so cold," said the MUA, who had just shaken Amelie's hand to congratulate her on the upcoming wedding. There was nothing Amélie could do but smile blandly. She was so nervous that she was about to say her vows to Jonathan in front of the audience. "Ah, I'm just nervous." Amelie replied while squeezing the white dress she was wearing. "Hahaha, I know how that feels. I also experienced the same thing with you when the seconds of my wedding began," Linda recalled while putting the makeup equipment that was no longer in use into the makeup bag. "Believe me, it's only at the beginning. Once the vows are done, your heart will feel so relieved. You'll even cry tears of joy afterward."

The night was getting late. The night breeze was so cold that the thick blanket covering her body couldn't beat the chill of the night air, waking Irene up to check the heating.Irene's eyes blinked several times when she found the bed next to her empty without Robert, so the brunette woman walked out to find out where her husband was. When the door opened, Irene squinted to find her husband sitting on the steps of the servants' quarters terrace with his face turned up to the sky, leaning against a pillar made of natural stone with a melancholy look.Slowly, the woman walked over."Robert?" she called in a soft tone typical of a woman that instantly made the owner of the name turn his head. "Why are you outside? Is it cold, darling?" Irene touched her husband's shoulder and took a seat next to Robert, enduring the cold night air to keep the man she loved so much company."Irene, why are you awake?" asked Robert in a flat tone, masking the disappointment that was currently enveloping

Jonathan walked back to his room with a smile on his face. It made a few pairs of eyes look at him with a quizzical look, but they soon settled into their usual expressions when they bumped into Jonathan. When he walked into his office, a girl was already sitting there waiting for him. "I see you're happy today, sir," Krista Valerie said, smacking her lips as she watched him walk into the room. "Not just being; I'm very, very happy today." Jonathan sat down in his oversized chair. Not wanting to find out more about her superior's happy feelings, the girl cleared her throat and asked why she had been summoned to come to the room of the man who kept smiling like a mental patient. "Excuse me, sir, what need did you call me here?" Not immediately responding to his secretary's question, the man took a few folders from the pile of documents and handed them to the pretty girl."I will be leaving. During my absence, please take care of this work." With her eyebrows knitted, the girl sl

Amelie felt weak after seeing three pregnancy test kits showing the same result, with two red lines lined up. She didn't know what to do now. Was telling Jonathan about her pregnancy the right choice? She was so worried that the same thing would happen again. Jonathan would tell his family, and Theresia would ask her to abort the innocent fetus that Jonathan had planted in her womb. Instantly, the tears that had been receding fell down her cheeks. She would not be able to repeat the same story, bearing the pregnancy alone and raising the baby alone. Truly, it was a heavy responsibility. Amelie's reverie was interrupted by a knock on the door from outside. She quickly wiped away the tears until there were none left. Although her puffy face could not be hidden at all,. "Amelie, open the door." Marie anxiously knocked on the door and turned the knob repeatedly. Since her return from work, Amelie hasn't come out of her room; even now, the door is locked. Marie was worried that somethi

Amelie blinked as sleepiness still lingered in her eyes. She had to get up to get ready for work and take Axel to school, but her body seemed reluctant to get up, as if it were stuck to the bed she was currently on. She closed her eyes for a moment to remember what she had been feeling lately. Amelie had not been feeling well lately. Headaches often came and went, and her breasts were pain. Her sense of smell had become sensitive. Amelie's eyebrows knitted together, and then she got up from the bed with a little haste and grabbed the cell phone on the nightstand to open the period app and see when her last period was. For some reason, when she was about to open the period app on her phone, her heart suddenly started pounding. It was as if she was already sure that the answer she got was something that would disappoint her and shake her sanity. The woman, who was still wrapped in navy pajamas, then took a deep breath before finally exhaling slowly. "Calm down, Amelie, calm down. Ev

The sun is inching its way to the sunset, leaving an orange color on the horizon. The shop began to be quiet from visitors; one by one, among Demiurge visitors, they began to leave the shop after finishing with the activity of filling the stomach. Amelie wiped the table with a cloth as a closing activity in the tavern in the late afternoon. At the same time, Emery, who had just come out of Benitto's room, approached the woman with a rag, doing the same activity next to the table that Amelie was cleaning. Emery cleared her throat to make Amelie realize her presence. Instantly, the elegant woman turned her head and greeted Emery with a friendly face."Hey," greeted Amelie, who then returned her gaze to the shiny table, where she could see the reflection of her face on the lacquered table. Emery couldn't help but be curious about her best friend's encounter with the man Axel had told her about this afternoon."Sorry, Amelie, I hope you won't be offended if I ask." Emery said, which ma

Amelie's heart skipped a beat as she pulled back the blanket covering her body. Not a single piece of clothing clung to her body. She hurriedly cleaned herself up after her struggle with Jonathan last night.Under the shower that splashed her body with water, Amelie closed her eyes. She recalled the events of last night and cursed herself for easily letting Jonathan enjoy her body. 'Stupid, stupid Amelie, what if he leaves you again after this? Why didn't I ask him to wear protection last night?' Amelie's mind began to worry. Her hands slowly squeezed her wet hair until the pain of the tugging was felt.She shook her head, trying to dismiss all possibilities and prejudices against Jonathan. But the more she tried to dismiss them, the more brutally those prejudices attacked her head. ....................."Amelie, are you up early?" Jonathan blinked his eyes as he found Amelie just coming out of the bathroom with wet hair. The time was 04:35. Why was she taking a shower this early?

It was a very happy day for Axel. He could spend the weekend with his parents in the places he loved, something that had always been a dream of his since he often questioned his father's whereabouts."Dad, do you know? Today I'm so happy to be able to go on an excursion with my parents." Axel muttered on the way home. A moment after that, Axel yawned, and slowly his eyes closed.Jonathan stroked Axel's head as he sat on Amelie's lap, with one hand on the steering wheel. "I'm very happy too, sweetheart. We can have a three-day weekend after such a long day." Amelie smiled. She silently agreed that she felt the same way."He's asleep, Jo," Amelie whispered as she stroked Axel's head. The hair she was holding had grown longer; as Amelie recalled, it was only two months ago that she took Axel to the barbershop.The wheels continued to roll, and as Amelie looked out the window, she realized that it wasn't the way home. She refrained from asking; perhaps Jonathan wanted to buy something b

Amelie woke up and was surprised to find that her body position had changed. Amelie and Jonathan had their arms around each other. She immediately threw off Jonathan's burly arms that were hugging her body. "How can you hug me that easily? You pervert," Amelie grumbled as she walked to the toilet. The sound of the water tap and the cold temperature of the water touching her skin instantly brought her full consciousness back. She stared at her reflection in the mirror. Amelie patted her face and instantly groaned as the pats stung."Aw!" The pain she felt made her realize that the night she had spent with Jonathan was not a dream; it was a reality. Even the slap on her cheek left a red mark. Amelie's eyes were closed, with both hands supporting her body on the edge of the sink. A question that niggled at her heart arose. Was meeting Jonathan again a destiny?Amelie sighed as she walked back to her room. But when she arrived at the door, she heard Jonathan talking to someone on the
