Axel didn't have to wait long, nor was he surprised when Rosa, after seeing the photo, immediately went to the hotel where Axel and Daisy spent the night to verify. Upon arriving, Rosa encountered Zane and Dion waiting for the elevator to go up to Axel's room. They were curious and wanted to find out the truth, so they came to check. Meanwhile, Tom, who already knew what had happened, remained calm and continued to sleep at home."Rosa, are you okay?" Seeing Rosa looking worried and frightened, Zane quickly asked with concern."Both of you, please tell me this isn't right." Rosa was agitated, shaking her head in denial, saying, "There's no way Axel would sleep with that ugly girl.""Rosa, I think..." Zane was about to console Rosa but was interrupted by Dion."If we want to know if it's true or not, we just need to verify it," Dion expressed his opinion.Dion's words made the atmosphere between the three people fall into silence. Each person had their own private thoughts. While Rosa
Rosa, laden with pain and despair, left the hotel. Zane, worried about leaving the young girl alone, suggested that Dion should go ahead while he stayed with Rosa."Dion, you go ahead. I'll stay with Rosa for a while.""I know. Take care of Rosa, okay?"Zane nodded at Dion, then turned back to Rosa, his gaze comforting but also containing deep sorrow."Rosa," Zane gently called as he noticed Rosa suddenly stopping and sitting down on the floor."Go away; I don't need pity." Rosa protested abruptly as Zane approached and touched her."Rosa, leave me here with you." Zane gently persuaded, "We'll find a way to deal with this situation, okay?"Rosa didn't answer because she couldn't stop thinking about what she had just witnessed. Rosa feels like she's being caught up in an endless struggle with love, trust, and betrayal. It's because Rosa is too amorous, loves Axel alone, and then has negative thoughts, but Axel has never felt in love with Rosa. Up until now, the owner of Axel's heart ha
Upon reaching the hospital, Daisy hurriedly searched for the emergency room, where she found Grace sitting outside, anxiously waiting for news about Henry. Seeing the teary eyes and worried expression of her friend only added to Daisy's concern."Grace, how's Henry?" Daisy approached her, asking with uncertainty.Upon seeing Daisy, Grace burst into tears, choked up as she spoke, "I'm so sorry, Daisy. It's all my fault. I wasn't watching Henry, and he fell off the slide. I'm a useless aunt, and if anything happens to Henry, I'll"Calm down, Grace." Daisy gently comforted her friend. "Everything will be okay. Don't blame yourself anymore.""But I..." Grace sobbed, her hands covering her face, too ashamed and guilty to meet Daisy's gaze.Daisy sat down next to her, gently embracing Grace, allowing both of them to lean on each other without collapsing."Henry will be alright. He'll be fine," Daisy repeated the positive mantra in Grace's ear. It was an action to encourage her friend's pani
Everything couldn't end like this, Rosa thought silently in her heart. She would never allow Axel to get what he wanted. Rosa clung stubbornly to her narrow-minded and selfish thoughts. And then, a strong impulse pushed her to take a daring action—to chase after Axel.Seeing Rosa hurriedly leaving the room, Zane also stood up to follow. Dion noticed this and asked Tom with concern:"Should we follow them? I can tell that Rosa is not in a stable state of mind, and I'm afraid she might do something reckless."Tom tilted his head and pondered for a moment."Let them handle it on their own; this has nothing to do with us. Besides, Zane is with her, and he knows how to deal with and support Rosa." Tom responded coldly, finishing his drink."What about Axel? I'm worried he might get agitated and harm Rosa." Dion expressed concern. "You know Axel's temperament; aren't you worried?""There's no need to pay attention to Axel. I trust his ability to control himself." Tom confidently replied, sh
After the night, they both accidentally made love to each other, as promised by both parties. Once the contract was over, Daisy and Axel never saw each other again. She resumed her normal life and patiently waited for Henry's recovery and her own healing to be complete. Then she would proceed with her plan to move elsewhere. With the money Axel had given her, Daisy believed her small family would have a better, less arduous life in the future, and she could support Henry through his college education.As for Axel, he dedicated his time and focus to work, striving to develop his own future while trying to forget what he had gone through with Daisy.The arranged marriage of Axel and Rosa had not been officially called off because Rosa used the excuse that her parents were traveling abroad and would take two weeks to return. Fearing that Axel wouldn't believe her and would blame her, Rosa went to the company to meet him and requested some more time to sort things out with her family. As
When certain that Daisy was pregnant, Grace still held her viewpoint, urging Daisy to inform Axel about the news. It was all about the rights and responsibilities of both parties. Regardless of the solution Axel might propose, whether acceptable or not, Grace promised to stand by and support Daisy throughout the challenging journey ahead.Following Grace's advice, Daisy made numerous attempts to contact Axel through the phone number he used before. However, there were no results. Perhaps Axel threw away the phone numbers or put them in a drawer. In the end, there's no other way. Daisy took a bold step and went to GDP Company to find Axel.Due to her unremarkable appearance and ugly look, the receptionist at Axel's company prevented Daisy from meeting him. The reason given was that Daisy didn't have a prior appointment with Axel and couldn't prove her relationship with him. The fact that Axel had dated Daisy was buried in oblivion, and the pictures they took together, which Axel had sh
"In here, there's a million dollars; take it and solve your damn problem with the pregnancy, and never show up in front of me again." Axel pulled out an ATM card from his pocket and threw it on the table. This time, Axel's tone made Daisy feel very uncomfortable. Then, Axel looked at Daisy with sharp eyes, as if waiting to see what she would do. Deep down, Axel still held a little hope that Daisy wouldn't come towards him. She wouldn't be what he despised. As for Daisy, witnessing Axel's behavior as if he were some supreme being, giving some pity to her, Daisy felt very sad, disappointed, and disgusted with Axel. Daisy has no intention of coming here to ask for money, so she's not going to go to where Axel is sitting and get that ATM card. However, Daisy was truly uneasy; she wanted to teach Axel a lesson. So, after a moment of hesitation, Daisy proudly walked toward Axel. Axel smirked but felt bitter inside. Everything was indeed correct. There was no hope left. Daisy was just lik
"What's going on that everyone is gathering here?" Axel's voice shattered the sudden silence.Axel's father cleared his throat and replied, "Axel, everyone is here because there's an important matter to discuss.""What is that?" Axel's curiosity was evident as he straightforwardly inquired, "Does it have something to do with me?""We're talking about your and Rosa's wedding," Rosa's mother eagerly revealed. Upon hearing this, Axel immediately rolled his eyes in annoyance. Despite Axel's unhappy reaction to the news, Rosa's mother continued with enthusiasm."We're planning to organize your wedding in September. Do you have any opinions or suggestions you'd like to share? Feel free to propose anything, and we'll consider it together. It's all for..." Rosa's mother was continuing but was interrupted when Axel quickly interjected, his tone calm but stern."Which wedding are you talking about? The engagement between me and Rosa has already been canceled."Axel." Rosa suddenly intervened, c
"How are you?" Rosa asked when she saw Mrs. Mia's pale face.Mrs. Mia couldn't say anything when suddenly the police appeared."Rosa Taylor and Mia Wilson, you both are under arrest for conspiracy to commit murder. Please come with us," declared the stern police officer."We haven't done anything!" Mrs. Mia immediately denied the accusation, while Rosa was still trying to grasp the situation."What you said has been recorded—enough evidence to charge you both before the law," Amelia arrogantly proclaimed, holding up a recording device for them to see."Please come with us," the police officer requested a second time."I haven't done anything wrong." Mrs. Mia continued to deny the accusation as she was led away by the police.It was only then that Rosa realized she was being arrested. Not wanting to go to jail, Rosa used her strength to push the police officer and run out of the coffee shop. The police officer chased after her, and unfortunately, something terrible happened. While runn
At that moment, from out of nowhere, an older man appeared, leading his 10-year-old son. They pushed through the crowd in front of the emergency room. As soon as they saw the lifeless body, the man grabbed his son's hand and ran towards it, then hugged the lifeless body and cried out."My wife! How could you leave me and our son so early?"The man's voice trembled as he cried, while the child sobbed loudly. The cries jolted Axel awake, and he raised his blank face to look at the man hugging the lifeless body. The man also looked back at Axel, both wearing expressions of indescribable astonishment."Who are you, and why were you crying for my wife?" A man asked in confusion."What do you mean? Your wife?" Axel's words left the man equally baffled. What was going on here? He suddenly felt disoriented."Mommy, please don't leave me." The voice of a child caught Axel and the man's attention. Upon realizing that the child was not Henry, Axel's confusion deepened. So, that wasn't Daisy. Axe
"Why would you speak of your mother like that?" Daisy scolded. "It's utterly uncalled for. If your mother heard what you said, she would undoubtedly be heartbroken.""You don't know anything, so just stay quiet," Axel snapped in anger.Daisy was taken aback by Axel's reaction, but she quickly regained control of the situation."It's true; I don't know anything about you," Daisy admitted. "We've never truly understood each other, and our views have never aligned. Anyway, your attitude towards your mother is a matter between you and her, unrelated to mine. Therefore, you don't have to be impatient with me.""My mother is dead," Axel finally revealed, thinking that Daisy didn't understand his earlier statement, leaving Daisy shocked and skeptical."Daisy, you've been deceived." Feeling the tension in the room, Amelia hurriedly explained, "My mother and Axel passed away. Axel was just seven years old at the time, and I was twelve. The woman named Mia is my stepmother, my father's second w
That day, it was raining heavily. Despite the kind advice from the neighbors, Axel remained outside, standing in the pouring rain, waiting for Daisy to open the door. Axel's determination earned him the respect of many, but it also stirred feelings of sympathy.Inside her room, Daisy could hear and know everything that was happening outside. However, she had made up her mind not to waver.After enduring six hours of heavy rain, Axel finally collapsed. Kind neighbors took him into their home and took care of him when he had a high fever.The next day, in a daze, Daisy suddenly jolted awake upon hearing an announcement from the neighbor."Daisy, your husband has a fever."Many hours passed. Axel was still unconscious, and his fever was quite severe.Daisy, feeling perplexed, was inside her room. She was genuinely concerned about Axel's condition and wanted to personally take care of him, but she lacked the courage to step out and check on him. Daisy wasn't a coward; she was just too stu
"Daisy, we can.""Henry, we're going home." Daisy interrupted Axel with an absolute command."I don't want to." Henry stopped chewing and looked directly at Daisy, stubbornly refusing."Why not? What's your reason?" Daisy impatiently demanded."I want to go to Cha Axel's home," Henry honestly admitted."Henry, I've told you," Daisy reminded him, trying to control her emotions. She was on the verge of losing her temper. Meeting Axel had left Daisy confused and her emotions unstable."I don't want to," Henry shouted suddenly, accusing Daisy. "You lied to me. Dad Axel is not too busy with work. You didn't bring me here for the safety of either of us. I don't know why you took me away from Axel's father's house, but you lied to me.”Daisy wasn't surprised that Henry easily discovered her lie. Henry was a smart and perceptive child. Daisy had anticipated this, but she hadn't expected Henry's reaction to be so determined and forceful. Daisy had hurt her son's feelings, and she knew it, but
"Hello." The person speaking to Axel was a woman. "Are you the guardian of this boy?""Yes, that's right. I'm Henry's father. What happened, and who are you?" Axel tried to stay calm while gathering information about the situation."The boy had an accident and is currently in the hospital. I'm a nurse at the hospital," the woman reported on Henry's condition. "We need the boy's guardian to come here."Hearing about an accident, Axel felt a chill run down his spine, his heart pounding with fear. He was afraid something terrible had happened.“How is my son?” Axel asked nervously."It's nothing serious; the boy has only minor injuries and lost a little blood. His condition has improved now," the nurse reassured Axel.Thankfully, Henry was safe and sound. Axel silently thanked God."Which hospital is he in? I'll come right away," Axel urgently asked, already getting ready to leave."He's in Hospital K, in the town of Suna.""I understand, thank you," Axel requested. "Please pass the phon
After a while, Axel was engulfed in despair, but suddenly the power of love surged within him. So Axel resolved to take action instead of sitting in self-pity. He also knew he couldn't do it alone, and he had some wonderful friends. Without hesitation, Axel immediately called for help from everyone."John, please help me," Axel choked out over the phone. "I really don't know what to do right now."John was at home, enjoying the weekend with Grace as a loving couple. Today, John decided not to answer any calls, both work-related and personal. However, when the caller was Axel and he kept calling incessantly, John answered the phone."What's wrong, Axel? What's happening? First, calm down," John gently reassured Axel while trying to understand Axel's situation. According to John, whenever Axel called him, it was usually for something very important or urgent."Daisy, she's gone," Axel pleaded in agony. "Help me find her, please.""What happened? Why did Daisy disappear?" John was a bit
Daisy let out a sigh of relief when the person who arrived was not Axel. It was the doctor in charge of Daisy's treatment and the nurse responsible for monitoring her condition."Daisy, how do you feel?" the doctor asked with concern."My head is still a bit dizzy," Daisy replied honestly, then suddenly remembered something important. She anxiously asked, "How is my child? Is everything okay?""The baby is still safe. Please rest assured," the doctor reassured her. Daisy placed her hand on her belly, gently stroking it. She silently thanked God for protecting the unborn child. Up until now, Daisy had not fully recovered from the shock of Rosa's audacious actions. What would have happened if Rosa had actually pulled the trigger? Daisy might have died, and her unborn child as well. Just thinking about it sent shivers down her spine, instilling fear and anger within her. Daisy was sure that Rosa would have to pay for her actions. She believed that."Where is your husband?" the doctor inq
Rosa showed her determination as she looked at Daisy with sharp eyes. Suddenly, Daisy wished someone would appear to stop Rosa. But if her wish didn't come true, she would have to face Rosa's madness and danger on her own."Rosa, listen to me: What you're doing is a crime, and you'll go to jail if you kill someone. You should stop before it's too late," Daisy calmly warned Rosa. "If I scream, you'll definitely get caught.""I don't care," Rosa insolently declared. "I just want Axel to suffer for what he did to me. And what will make Axel suffer the most is losing you. Whether you die or disappear, it's the same for me. I'll give you a chance: leave Axel forever, and your life will be spared. But don't play games with me. If you leave and then come back, I'll kill Axel. I promise you that.""You're not allowed to touch Axel," Daisy angrily retorted."That entirely depends on you," Rosa arrogantly said. "If you dare to defy me, continue staying with Axel. I'll kill Axel and make you liv
