You can't be a greedy person!After come back to the past, I understood the meaning of those words. That no matter how big your desire and dissatisfaction, you must be able to put it in a good position. And I think Marlon Evans failed at that. He was so greedy that he forgot that he was only human. He doesn't always have the ability and strength to get whatever he wants. In the end, Anne managed to destroy the Evans family, trampling them without mercy. And unfortunately, she not only destroys people who are considered guilty, but someone who is innocent is also dragged into it. And one of them is my mother!Anne had indeed succeeded in getting her revenge, but unfortunately, there was a price she had to pay for her success. Her beloved son, whom she always controlled to complete her revenge, became a weapon that attacked herself. In the end, Sam grows up to be a heartless man, a man who will mercilessly hurt anyone who gets in his way.I wince when I remember one person who also had
I hope he doesn't comeWith a huff I snapped my fingers on the table, staring at the street that seen from the coffee shop window. According to the schedule that Faris gave me, this afternoon I had to meet a man who was chosen by Uncle Sam to be my future husband. The man who he thought would be very appropriate to accompany me.Of course I don't take Uncle Sam's crazy 'arrangement' for granted. Marriage is not a small thing that can be decided arbitrarily. I think marriage is something sacred, and I want to have a beautiful marriage, at least like my mom and dad. And uncle Sam arbitrarily decided that 'sacred' thing for me!After hearing the shocking news from Faris' mouth, I immediately contacted Uncle Sam to ask the truth of what Faris said. I had thought that Uncle might be joking, or maybe Faris had misheard Uncle Sam's words. Maybe what uncle meant was Nami's fiance but Faris misheard it being my name. A wry smile forms on the corners of my lips as I remember the conversation I
"So, who is the person that annoy you?"Alliando sat right in front of me. His clear eyes looked at me with a curious look. And for some reason, I feel a cynical glint in his eyes. It was as if something really bothering him.I didn't answer Alliando's question, just stared at him intently, as if I wanted to stick his face into my memory. I honestly feel ashamed to admit this. But I think Alliando looks more mature and more attractive than I ever remembered. Either because I didn't have time to look at him with a calm mind so I didn't really notice his change. But now, when we met under normal circumstances, I was able to notice the changes in him. One of them is a scar on his lower chin.Ah, When did he get that wound? I don't think there was a wound there before. I suddenly realized that how much time had passed without us being together. That maybe he's not the same Alliando he used to be."Well, you put on that look again.."Alliando said while leaning his body, as if to close the
I closed the document that Roni gave me as if it wasn't important at all. As much as possible I adjust my expression so that he does not notice my restlessness. Although it seemed too late because he had seen my face earlier, and it is proved by the grin that appeared on his face earlier.“You really are presumptuous huh-”I said while supporting my chin with the back of my hand,“You even investigated something I never asked for”And again, he smiled. A smile that made my hairs stand on end. A smile that seemed to tell me that he wasn't someone I could easily fool.“I'm sorry miss, I think you need that information. So I investigated it without you knowing to please you.”If that was the first smile I've ever seen on his face, then these are the longest lines I've ever heard from his mouth.Tch, bullshit!I quietly clenched my fists under the table. Is he treating me like an idiot who doesn't know anything? Even though it was clear from his conversation with Aunt Donna that I overhea
Isn't this world so funny?Just yesterday I laughed at how complicated Uncle Sam and Uncle Richard relationships are, and now I seem to have a new surprise. Fernando turns out to be the younger brother of Freya, uncle Richardson's wife. Although he is just her step brother. Coincidentally, when Freya was growing up, her parents decided to divorce. Her mother then remarried and Fernando was the child she had from her second marriage.Fernando did not say clearly about his family's condition, but he did say that his mother did hide the fact that she was married to Freya's father from the public, even from her new husband. And Fernando only found out about the fact that he had a half-sister after he was 8 years old. It was also because of Freya who suddenly came to visit her mother and began to open up to a relationship that had been severed for a long time. Since then, little Fernando often spent time with Freya on the weekends. It's just secretly without anyone knowing because his moth
As Faris said, many journalists were standing in front of the gate.“1..2..3.”I hummed in my heart cheerfully while counting the number of reporters who showed no sign of wanting to leave their positions. Well, news about conglomerate life and politics is of course a very interesting thing to discuss. Moreover, Uncle Sam is quite well known among the public as a generous and kind businessman. I have to admit I admired Uncle Sam because he managed to portray the image of a good person when he was so rotten on the inside."Oh god! What should we do.."I closed the window curtain and turned my gaze to Nami who was now pacing back and forth with a worried face. Of course her concern was for Uncle Sam, not for the topic that had caused the reporters to appear in front of this house. Upon hearing what Faris said, Uncle Sam did leave the house through a very secret back door. Only a few people in this house know about it, even I don't."I'm really worried, Sha!"Nami covered her face with h
"The number you dialed is out of reach.."Again, the notification sound from the operator answered my call to Siena's number. In fact, I've tried to call her around 20 times since this morning. And just like before, her number is off. I don't know if she's really busy after revealing that important news or maybe there's some other reason like her cellphone running out of power and other trivial reasons. But, out of so many reasons, there was one that I feared the most, and that was the possibility that 'Uncle Sam's people' did something to her.Actually I want to use other people to do this, for example people who work in media that Alex might know. Or maybe just tell Alex to do the whole thing because he's a lot more proficient at this than I am. However, a few days ago before I mustered the intention to start the first step of my revenge action, Siena suddenly contacted me and that's when I thought of using her. Even though yesterday when she received the document, I kept asking her
"Thank you Lord.."My body almost slumped to the floor as soon as I saw Siena who was now standing in front of me.This girl.. Doesn't she know how panicked I am?I feel like yelling at her about what is cellphone function if it's not used to communicate. Even until now, her number is still unreachable! My chest felt tight because of anxiety, therefore, after coming home from work, I immediately drove to her apartment, but apparently she wasn't there! I almost cursed out loud because various bad scenarios immediately rushed into my head. As my thoughts became more and more frantic, a memory flashed through my head, namely the address of her family's home."Hmm? Why are you here? I don't think I ever told you about my family's address-""Shut up!"I cut off Siena's astonished speech. Standing up, I tugged at her collar and continued my words,“You know how anxious I am all day? I almost went crazy just thinking that something bad had happened to you!”I screamed, venting all the tightn
December, when it rained heavily from the sky, I was forced to go to the funeral of the person I hated the most, the one who made my school life a living hell. I saw a lot of people crying at his funeral, as if they had lost a very good person. At that time I didn't understand why people liked him so much, because to me, he was nothing more than a demon in human form. Ah, I forgot a simple fact, which was that I was the only one he treated badly. Then, in that blue December, I finally learned a surprising secret, that man actually in love with me. He made me the heir to his wealth as well as various mysteries that he wrote in his diary. He didn't give much hint in the book, only about his life, his feelings, and why he committed all these crimes to me. In my desperation, I begged God to let me see him again to ask what he really meant. And God granted my request. And here I am, standing looking at him who was focused on finishing the baby bed he had made since a month ago I laughed a
Am I dead?As soon as I opened my eyes, I was already in a white room that I had never seen before. I've even tried walking to find out where I really am, but no matter how far I walk, I still don't find anything. As if this room is an endless room. Well, maybe I am indeed dead and am waiting for the angel of death to lead me to the afterlife. Being too tired to walk, I finally decided to sit on the floor which was also white. Trying to think about a lot of things that happened before I opened my eyes in this place. I remember that before losing consciousness, I was hit by uncle Sam's knife stab at some point. Suddenly a sense of sadness gripped my heart as I remembered Alliando expression I had seen before my eyes were completely closed. Ah, those somber looks and tears were probably one of the reasons why I suddenly felt indecisive about continuing to walk towards the realm of death."Hi, we meet again huh?"I gasped in shock when I saw the face of someone I ha
I opened my eyes in this dark room again, but of course without Uncle Sam or Roni. Looks like they're off somewhere to clear things up. My body immediately shivered when I remembered what Uncle Sam said before I completely lost my consciousness. Is it true that he killed Alex and uncle Shancez? Uurgh, I can't believe it! There's no way that Alex, who is so sharp and meticulous, can be defeated so easily! I'm sure uncle must be lying, he must be lying!I have to quickly escape from this place to confirm what really happened! I tried to remember how the condition of this room when the lights were turned on earlier. Trying to find something I can use to escape.Ah! I remember! Right in the corner to my right, I saw a pile of iron, maybe I could find an iron sharp enough to untie the knots in my hands and feet. I painstakingly dragged my body towards that place, as carefully as I could feel the pile of iron to find something I could use to untie my hands.Gotcha! I almost screamed when my
The night before..I stared at the building in front of me excitedly, imagining that the day of my victory had arrived. After today, all I have to do is make sure that Uncle Sam really rots in prison. After today, I can visit my mother's grave with my head held high, telling her that I took care of someone who harmed her. Besides that.. I can also freely meet Alliando again.With a faint smile I stepped inside, took the elevator up to the floor Fernando told me about.“Welcome, miss!”The friendly voice of a middle-aged man greeted me as soon as I entered. He walked up to me and started shaking my hand,“I am really happy to have met Elena's daughter. Ah, I'm sorry, but let me express my condolences for Elena's death. I'm sure She's smiling in heaven right now watching you."My brows furrowed as I listened to the middle-aged man say my mother's name as if he knew her very well. I tried to remember if his face was among the few people my mother had friends or acquaintances with. But un
I can't help but laugh when I read the big headline in the newspaper I'm reading'The collapse of Sam Lee dynasty'As for the content of the news, it's almost the same as what I've heard before. That is about Sam Lee who is currently on the verge of bankruptcy, even business observers feel pessimistic that he can rise and improve his image again."Taste the bitterness, uncle .."I muttered as I turned to the next page. This time a slight smile formed on my lips when I saw Alliando's face who was standing quietly. There was written an article with the title 'Sunrise CEO public debut, rookie monster in the business world'. Almost all of them are filled with praise about Alliando's ability to build his company. And of course, there's been a bit of discussion about his personal life.Actually, the discussion of Alliando's personal life in official newspapers like this is not at all interesting. It was the gossip magazine which I read yesterday that won. They explained in detail about the
You destroyed me, so there's nothing wrong with me destroying you back, right?Believe me! I really want to crush your life into crumbs, but it seems that God created my heart too meticulously, until he put too much 'compassionate' side instead of 'cruel side'. If only the second part was more than the first, maybe I wouldn't stop until uncle was actually lying in his tomb! Separating his body parts one by one to give the best torture.I put my bag before finally throwing myself onto the bed. Actually, I could feel that my cellphone was vibrating continuously, indicating that there were a lot of notifications going in there. But I decided to ignore everything. Right now I want to enjoy my rest time. After all, my heart was quite happy after seeing Uncle's shocked face when he found out that his company is now just an empty shell with no contents.Ever since uncle handed over the position of company leader to me, I have carefully managed my steps. Especially after I found out the fact
"Good morning Miss"I nodded my head towards Alex who was wearing black suit, same as me. As a sign that we are still in mourning after grandfather's death. Even though it has been 10 days since his passing. Tucking a strand of my hair behind my ear, I took out the document he handed me. The document contains an investigation about the death of grandfather as well as an investigation about the death of someone I hate the most, Aunt Donna.Actually, on the night of grandfather's death, there was one more big news that shocked the world, namely the death of Aunt Donna. She was found dead after previously slashing her wrist with a small knife whic she got from nowhere. So far, the police have concluded that her death was a suicide, considering that there was no damage to the cell where she was being held.That night I was too shocked because of Grandpa's departure, so I didn't really care about anything else. That day I was too busy to fix my broken heart because again, I was left alone
Rain..I don't know why it always rains whenever something sad happens to me. Be it in my previous life or my current life. I don't know the reason, but maybe it was raining to wash away my sadness, or just to add to the coldness of my already cold heart."Please accept my condolences, miss"I just nodded my head to anyone who came to say a mournful sentence. The energy I had was too little to simply reply to their words. Luckily Alex who was standing next to me wasn't in the usual 'silent' mode. Right now he is the one who saves me and replaces me to greet the mourners or just chat with them.My eyes looked at grandpa who was now lying in the coffin with a calm face. It felt like he was just sleeping and I could wake him up anytime. But, no matter how many times I scream or beg for him to open his eyes, he still ignores my request.Grandpa should be waiting for me..Grandpa should have waited for me to finish my mission a little longer so we could make up for the time wasted during m
Moments before..I feel more tired than the previous days. Facing different kinds of people in one day. Starting from the shareholders, the board of directors to Uncle Sam. And there is one more person who drains my energy, namely Hans. Earlier he had visited my company, and that was after I forced him to come. I wanted to make a plan with him so he could take back the part of Alliando's father's company that was taken by Uncle Sam. I thought he would at least agree with my idea, but who would have thought he would refuse. He said he didn't want Alliando to be involved in anything related to me or Uncle Sam anymore. “I'm quite happy with his memory loss. At least he doesn't have to remember the sad memories anymore-"He said to me."Besides, we are more than capable of building our company again. You see how big we are, right?"Even though he spoke with indifferent voice and expression, but I could see there was a look of care in his eyes. And seeing that, I finally gave up trying to
