As Nicholas entered the village road, he let out a long sigh. He received a text message from Bryan, which he initially found annoying. However, he drove faster along the desolate village road after reading Bryan's message.
"Pick up Alesya at her house. Don't ask too many questions. If you want to know what happened to her, wait until she regains consciousness."
Nicholas tightly gripped the steering wheel. He stepped on the gas as hard as he could, ignoring the rough road full of rocks. For him, reaching Alesya quickly was more important.
"Where is she?"
Nicholas restrained Bryan, who had just come out of Alesya's house with many documents in his arms.
"Inside," Bryan responded nonchalantly, walking away before any suspicion could arise about what he and their father were doing there. He didn't wait for anything, let alone bid farewell to Nicholas; Bryan went home first.
Before Bryan hit the gas, he briefly considered whether to wait for Alesya or not. His sense of humanity was slightly triggered, but it disappeared because of a call from Shabila. Instead of facing Shabila's scolding, Bryan chose to leave, even though he felt somewhat reluctant to leave Alesya with Nicholas.
"Al... Alesya!" Nicholas called out, checking every room in the house. His steps came to a halt as he entered a room. His eyes widened, and his jaw clenched when he saw Alesya lying on the bed.
As he got closer, Nicholas felt a growing pain in his chest. He noticed a bruise on her cheekbone, and...
"What happened to you?" Nicholas exclaimed as he knelt beside Alesya. He gently pulled back the blanket covering her. Her clothes were disheveled, only partially covering her.
With trembling hands, Nicholas continued to examine her, making sure he didn't miss any injuries.
"That damn Bryan!" he cursed, touching Alesya's bruised neck.
"Pain..." Alesya whispered softly as Nicholas adjusted her position.
"What hurts? Tell me!" Nicholas held Alesya's hand, stroking her forehead tenderly, overflowing with immense care and love.
"Don't... leave, please," Alesya startled when Nicholas spoke. Her face grew even paler, fearing that Diki might harm her again.
"Diki, I beg..."
"Hush... Al, hey, it's me, Nicholas!" Nicholas whispered. His chest tightened as he saw Alesya's fear. Her eyes were tightly shut, her body trembling, and her hands cold, as if she were seeing a ghost.
"Let go!!"
"I won't let go, especially not let you go, Al." He continued to hold Alesya's hand.
"Release me!"
"Al, it's me."
"Diki, let go!!"
"It's me, Nicholas. Alesya... Al..." Nicholas gently tapped Alesya's cheek. "It's me, Nicholas."
"N-Nicholas...?" Alesya slowly opened her eyes. "Nicholas!!" She burst into tears, finally seeing clearly who the man holding her hand was. He touched her gently, providing the comfort and safety she had needed since Diki had approached her.
“He wanted to rape me, Nik. I'm scared… don't leave me!!”
"No, I will never leave you. I'm sorry for leaving you alone. So you ended up like this.” Nicholas wiped Alesya's tears. "Forgive me. I swear I will take better care of you, Al. Forgive me!!"
“I'm scared, Nik. H-he…”
Nicholas nodded. “Yes, I will make calculations with him. Now you are calm. Here I am."
“B-but, Nik…”
“Shhh… I'm here. You're calm, okay?"
Nicholas kissed Alesya's forehead. "I am here for you."
"Where were you? I left and didn't give you any news, even though I had come all the way to the office to pick you up. So why is your husband so incompetent?! Even when we're dating, you always give me news, even if it's just to go to the bathroom!!”
Gosh... Bryan's ears feel like they're going to burst right now. Just got home, instead of being greeted, he received a scolding from Shabila.
“Why are you silent? Can't you answer?" Shabila put her hands on her hips. “Ooo, so my guess was right. You were playing with Alesya, to the point that Nicholas called home back and forth to ask where that cheap woman was, huh!!”
"What do you mean?"
“Alah... be honest, Ar! You think I don't see where you're going. Have you forgotten that your cellphone's GPS is on? You went to Alesya's house, right?"
"Yeah, I'm going there. Father asked to take some files from there. "It's up to you to judge and guess what it's like, what's clear is that I don't know anything about Alesya." Bryan passed Shabila. Regardless of whether you want to argue, Bryan is sure he will never win. It was better for him to stay away than cause a commotion.
"I want to go back to Mama and Papa's house!"
Bryan turned around. You think silence can solve problems, but it actually creates more and more new problems.
“You don't care about me. Even though I came all the way to the office to pick you up, you were having fun with Alesya. What do you think I am? Just cheat on me, Yan?"
Shabila started crying. Sobbing. He rushed out of the room and ran down the stairs. I don't know where that woman will go.
“Sha… Shabila!!” Bryan exclaimed. Following Shabila's steps, she was getting further away from him. The tiredness in his body suddenly disappeared, evaporating somewhere, replaced by the fear of losing.
I swear to God, Bryan really, really loves Shabila. He wouldn't be able to afford to lose, let alone be separated from Shabila.
“Sha, please don't go!!”
"No, I don't want to have a husband who is a traitor, a cheater like you!!"
“Shabila, I don't know anything. I came there because my father asked me to, nothing more."
"Oh yes?"
“I said as the flow goes. I have nothing to add or subtract."
“Then sell the house. I want to honeymoon in Japan."
"You can't do that, Sha. It's not that easy to sell assets that are still in dispute."
"I don't care. Anyway, sell it and we'll go to Japan. You also make sure Alesya doesn't get anything after the trial is over. Understand!"
"But, Sha...".
"Or divorce me, Yan!"
“Okay, if that's what you want. "Now come in, late at night is not good for your health."
Shabila waved her hand. "Do not touch. I don't want to." Walking quickly, he returned home. Ignoring Bryan, who was saddened by his attitude. Too selfish and bossy, but how, love has blinded everything. Made Bryan stupid, not understanding what Shabila's purpose was.

120Very slowly, Nicholas released Alesya's grip. Fix the blanket, before leaving. He glanced at the clock hanging on the wall, it was past midnight. No wonder Nicholas' waist felt stiff and numb.“Diki… who is he?” Nicholas muttered. Her brain was thinking, guessing who Alesya said Diki was."Later." Nicholas shook his head. Wanting to focus on Diki in the middle of the night is certainly useless. It's better to finish it tomorrow morning.Rather than taking care of Diki, whose name could be shared by many people, Nicholas would be better off checking the kitchen. Looking for food ingredients to process. I'm afraid that soon Alesya will wake up and be hungry.Alesya blinked. His eyes still sting, his body hurts when he moves. However, he still tried to sit up. Remembering what happened to him, he arrived at the guest room in his own house.Alesya sighed. Rubbing his face roughly, he imagined Diki's passionate gaze who wanted to take his purity. He couldn't believe that the man could

As far as I know, your father helped my dad find companies or individuals to use their services or buy heavy equipment. And just so you know, my father couldn't have casually used the house as collateral without my consent."Nicholas rubbed his chin. "And one more thing, Al. It wasn't me who saved you, but Bryan.""Bryan?" Alesya repeated, afraid she might have misunderstood the information."Yes, Bryan. He asked me to come. If he hadn't come here, I can guarantee that I wouldn't have been able to save you because I was still quite far from here. But Bryan, he found you undressed. That means he had a legitimate reason to come here, not just to save you.""Wait!" Alesya threw back the blanket and jumped out of bed. Ignoring her still-aching body, she rushed to her father's room."Why, Al?"Nicholas followed her, startled by the si

122There was a subtle difference in the implied messages. Nicholas didn't expect Alesya to understand his words.Nicholas also didn't care if Alesya thought he couldn't be with the person he loved because their genders were the same. For Nicholas, no matter how others judged him, it had no impact. In fact, he was grateful that with the label of being gay, he could get so close to a wonderful girl like Alesya.Not knowing how it started, Alesya, who was usually chatty, suddenly fell silent. She no longer spoke and just focused on the food in front of her. Occasionally, she glanced at Nicholas but couldn't bring herself to start a conversation again because she realized she had hoped for the man who loved someone else."Nicholas...""Yes?" Nicholas turned to her."Um... it's nothing." Alesya shook her head. She went back to looking down and focusing on her food. She wanted to ask but hesitated, afraid Nicholas would be offended if he heard her desire."Just say it, Al. I won't get mad

123"Please, Nicholas, don't prolong this issue!" Diki's mother pleaded, kneeling down. Afraid that her family's reputation would be tarnished, she was willing to humble herself in front of Nicholas. "Earlier, you asked Diki to apologize, right? I'll make sure he comes to your house and apologizes to Alesya.""I... I..."Nicholas raised his hand, silencing the middle-aged woman. He couldn't accept any excuses. So, Nicholas walked away. It was up to Diki now. Coming to apologize would be better. Even if not, Nicholas was satisfied with teaching him a lesson, leaving him unable to move and with split lips.Furthermore, Nicholas couldn't involve the police in this case. He had no witnesses, and the evidence had been given to Diki. The CCTV he mentioned was just a bluff. As for Bryan, there was no guarantee he would agree to be a witness. So, he had to rely on his own strength to teach Diki a lesson, even if it meant his hand was a bit swollen and bruised. That was fine as long as he was

124“what it's”Alesya lifted a box wrapped in gift paper. "This?" She sat on the edge of the bed and opened it for Nicholas. "This is a gift I prepared for Devin's birthday.""His birthday?""Yes, Devin's and mine fall on the same date and month. We always exchange gifts on our birthdays. So, you can use this as replacement clothes and as a gift for our meeting. Try it on!" Alesya handed over the clothes and pants inside the box, along with an expensive wristwatch for Nicholas."This is for me? Thank you so much. I hope this can be a fresh start for us.""You mean?" Alesya inquired."I have no specific meaning. Don't read too much into it. Well, I'll change my clothes first, hehehe." Nicholas rubbed his neck.Alesya nodded, smiling slightly as she bid farewell to Nicholas into the bathroom. She waited for him to finish with his new clothes.Honestly, there were still many questions Nicholas wanted to ask, but he'd wait. He wanted to put on the clothes first before any potential "yes"

125Shabila ended the call, placed her phone on the nightstand, and went to the wardrobe. There, she took out a thin nightgown. It was only a few centimeters longer than her waist. Just a slight misstep, and everything would be visible."Darling, can you please send this to my friend's house? It's her birthday, and I'm not feeling well. I want to sleep early tonight."Shabila handed a box to Bryan, who had just come out of the bathroom."Put it there, I'll find an online courier later." Knowing Shabila's weaknesses, Bryan wanted to use this opportunity to turn the situation around. While Alesya was still innocent and seemed easy to manipulate into making Shabila jealous and bend to his will."Have you had dinner?"Once ready with her outfit, Bryan threw the question. It was already dinner time, but Shabila was lying on the bed, flaunting her beautiful body, tempting Bryan to come closer.Shabila sat up abruptly, hugging Bryan. "I haven't eaten yet. If you don't mind, I'd like to eat h

126"Nicholas..." Alesya poked Nicholas's arm. Her eyes were red, and her face looked disheveled. "Nik...""What's wrong?"Nicholas briefly looked away from his laptop screen and glanced at the CCTV camera feed. The surveillance camera was still there. Wasn't Bryan planning to let his life be more normal again?"I'm sleepy."Nicholas checked the time on his laptop. It was half-past ten at night, and for Alesya, that was bedtime. It was the opposite for him; he liked to stay up late, working on various tasks.Moreover, he hadn't gone to the restaurant earlier. Devin had requested changes to the catering menu, there were some income and expense reports for the restaurant that needed to be recorded before paying employee salaries.But all the pending work had to be delayed because Alesya couldn't fall asleep."Go ahead and sleep. I'll join you later."Nicholas patted Alesya's head, urging her back to bed.Alesya shook her head, her eyes teary. "I can't sleep alone. I want to be with you.

Gibran continued, "As for our divorce, I've already agreed to it. We'll proceed with the legal process, and you'll be free to start a new chapter in your life. I hope you find the happiness you deserve."The conversation between Viska and Gibran marked the beginning of the end of their tumultuous marriage. While their emotions were still raw, they had come to a mutual understanding that it was time to move on and seek happiness elsewhere.Gibran's frustration and pent-up emotions poured out as he defended his actions. He felt betrayed by Viska, who had consistently pushed him away and made unfavorable comparisons with Nicholas. Their relationship had become a battleground of insecurities, and Gibran had sought solace with Shabila.Viska's accusations stung, but Gibran was determined to make her understand the context of his actions. He continued, "Viska, I don't want to justify what I did, but it was a result of our broken marriage. We both contributed to its downfall. I needed someth

190"Also," Bryan paused, kissing Silvi's lips briefly."Don't forget that the night we were together, I can assure you, it's my child."Silvi shook her head. "It's not Devin's child. Do you think after that night, I didn't do anything with other men? Did you really think that night was the only time someone touched me? No, there have been many other nights with so many men because I felt like I wasn't pure anymore. So I was free to do it with anyone since my life was already a mess.""S-so... instead of slightly more ruining myself, and the last time it was done to me was by Devin. That's why he's willing to take responsibility. He's also convinced that this is his child."Bryan let out a bitter laugh, releasing Silvi from his embrace. "Is that so?" He loosened his tie, which had felt suffocating after hearing Silvi's explanation. "Let's prove that what you said is true." He took off the suit jacket that clung to his body.“W-what are you doing?” Silvi stepped back. Hugging her own b

189"No way! I won't leave until I meet Gibran. He has to take responsibility for this child," Shabila insisted, refusing to budge. She held onto Viska and stood her ground."Leave, I said! Go!"Viska couldn't bear Shabila's stubbornness and forcefully pulled her arm, nearly causing Shabila to stumble."What's wrong with you!" Shabila pushed away Viska's hand and fixed her disheveled hair. "Are you afraid your husband's actions will be known to your parents? Or is it that you refuse to accept the truth?" Shabila began to rant."I don't understand what you're saying. Now leave!" Viska demanded."Wait, Viska! Mom wants to ask this woman something." Viska's mother restrained her daughter and turned to Shabila. "Why did you let my granddaughter get pregnant? Don't you know he's already married? What do you want from us? Money?"Shabila seethed with anger. Her dignity felt insulted when the middle-aged woman mentioned money."Do you think I'm a lowly woman who just surrenders her body to a

188Shabila spent the whole day in frustration, angry that she couldn't meet Gibran at his cafe. She paced back and forth in her room, thinking of ways to meet him."Do you think you can avoid me forever? You won't be able to, Gibran. I have to make you take responsibility for the child I'm carrying. You won't be able to escape. Just wait and see."Shabila clenched her fists, planning a thousand ways to meet Gibran. "If I can't find you at the cafe, I'll come to your house. Let's see if you can still avoid me," she muttered to herself.Gibran decided to visit the club where he had met Shabila some time ago. He had a bad feeling about Shabila's visit to his cafe and wanted to find out what had really happened between them that night. Honestly, Gibran didn't remember much because he had been heavily intoxicated that night.Upon arriving at the club, Gibran called one of the waitresses and conveyed his request to meet with the club's owner."I'd like to discuss something important with y

187"What brand would you like, Miss?" The employee asked while displaying several different brands of pregnancy tests.Shabila looked puzzled, which only fueled the employee's suspicions. "Is this your first time buying a pregnancy test?" she guessed with a condescending glance."Y-yes," Shabila replied hesitantly. Seeing the employee looking down on her, Shabila's heart began to boil. "I am already married, just so you know. Here's my ID," she said abruptly, opening her wallet and showing her ID card, which still stated her marital status as MARRIED. Her divorce from Arya was only religious; it wasn't legally recognized yet.Seeing the ID placed on the counter, the pharmacy employee became flustered. She was torn between embarrassment and guilt. "I'm s-sorry, Miss, I didn't mean to—""It's fine, I understand!" Shabila retorted sharply, then pointed towards the pregnancy tests. "So, which one is the best?" she asked.She deliberately didn't want to prolong the issue since she wanted

186Several days had passed, and today was the ceremonial bath event for Silvi. Everything was well-prepared, and the guests were moved by the event, which was expertly guided by the paid organizers, arranged by Silvi's parents. Silvi's large family wore matching light green kebaya, while Devin's family, who were present, wore light blue kebaya. The event was conducted with great solemnity, and Silvi looked beautiful despite wearing makeup that wasn't too flashy.This ceremony included many symbols and motifs that served as lessons or guidelines for the couple, influencing their married life. These symbols or motifs mainly conveyed advice and useful insights for the newlyweds' life together. That's why Mama Silvi insisted on holding the ceremonial bath event, even though Silvi and Devin had been married before.In addition to the food ordered for the guests and relatives, the organizers had prepared specific dishes usually served during this ceremonial bath event. These included tumpe

185Meanwhile, Silvi and Devin listened to the doctor's explanations during the examination. Silvi's pregnancy was already at three weeks. The doctor prescribed vitamins and anti-nausea medication since Silvi mentioned she often felt dizzy and nauseous. Devin didn't ask any questions because it was his first time in a obstetrician's office. He was confused about how to react. Silvi was the one who asked all the questions.Silvi got her next appointment scheduled, and then they left. Devin and Silvi went to the hospital's pharmacy to pick up the prescribed medicines first. Then, Devin asked Silvi where she wanted to go."I don't know. I just feel like lying down in my room.""Why's that? Don't you want to go out together?" Devin asked softly. They were now in the car. "How about having ice cream and buying some new sleepwear for you?""What's the point of buying sleepwear?""Because you're pregnant, and I want you to sleep comfortably. How about it?""I don't want to," Silvi said, maki

184As a father, whose heart wouldn't break upon learning that his daughter is pregnant with no official partner by her side? He felt like a terrible father, willing to do anything as long as the man who impregnated his daughter, Silvi, would take responsibility.Pregnancy is never an easy journey for a woman, especially without a husband by her side. The man Silvi referred to as the father finally decided to find Devin, the man who should be held accountable for what happened to Silvi. He took a taxi to Devin's whereabouts, hoping that he would indeed be there. Impatiently sitting in the taxi, the weary-looking man, no longer in his youth, stared at his phone screen. The journey from the city to the village was quite long, which was why he opted for a taxi. Besides, he didn't want any unpleasant conversations about Silvi if he had brought his driver along.Fortunately, he found out about Silvi's pregnancy before it was too late, or who knows what might have happened. He sighed wearil

183Nicholas didn't want anything to happen to their unborn child. So, he tried his best to grant her wishes. Besides, Alesya's request was relatively easy to fulfill, and it had been quite some time since they had visited her hometown."Are you happy?" Nicholas asked.Alesya turned and nodded. "I've really missed my hometown. As nice as it is to live in the city, the hometown is the number one place to visit," Alesya replied. "Besides, all my childhood memories are buried there."Hearing Alesya's response, Nicholas could only smile. He, who had lived in the city since childhood, never experienced life in the village. So, he didn't fully understand what Alesya meant. In his mind, Alesya might just miss the peaceful atmosphere of the village because the city was quite noisy."Get some rest; I'll wake you up when we arrive," Nicholas said after a moment of silence."Okay."Alesya adjusted her seating position to make herself more comfortable. She also slightly reclined her seat to make
