"Are you sure?"
I bit my lip, don't know how many times I've repeated this question and Alex's answer is still the same. He was sure that what he had just said was true.
"I'll email everything Miss. And remember, you have to keep your promise, miss."Alex said in a low voice, as if he was reminding me not to break the promise I had made to him."Don't worry, I won't break my promise"
I say earnestly. Only then did he end our phone call. As usual he didn't bother to say goodnight or other unimportant words. Maybe this is what makes me feel comfortable talking to Alex. He always said something to the point, without the need to beat around the bush.After that I sat on the bed and started to open all the emails that Alex sent. He said, based on the results of his investigation, my guess turned out to be right. That Aunt Anne who is in the mental hospital is the Aunt Anne I was looking for. My eyes continued to stare at the file that Ale
I will never be able to forget his face!Even if a very long time has passed, I will still remember his face.The way he looked at someone was still the same, the beautiful eyes that made many people stunned were still the same. At first those eyes were unattractive for me. In fact I hated them so much that I wished I never had to see them again.But, after spending time with him, I realized that I really like those eyes. I love the warm glow in his eyes every time he look at me. Love how his eyeballs dart down whenever he's hiding something. Love how the wrinkles form at the corners of his eyes when he smiles. Anyway, I really like those eyes.Not just his eyes, I like everything in him. Including when his brows furrowed with a confused expression like this. Tilted his head as if he was asking who the person in front of him was and suddenly hugged him at this moment. I immediately removed my arms from Alliando's body, looking at him with mixed
"Okay, have a good rest.."Faris said while smiling. By this time, we were back in the hotel room after spending a while in the front garden. After I explained the reason why I looked sad when I saw Alliando, he didn't mention anything else about Alliando. Instead, he distracts me by telling me some scary projects and stories that often happen in our office. And Faris's actions made me feel very relieved.Right now I want to hide the fact that I met Alliando again, especially from Uncle Sam! Considering he once tried to kill Alliando, I won't let that happen again. I had promised myself to protect him from Uncle Sam, therefore, I had to hide everything from Uncle.I nodded my head while looking at Faris who waved his hand and started walking away. But before he had walked a few steps, he suddenly stopped and turned his body to face me. He scratched his neck with an awkward expression, as if he had something to say but he hesitated."Why?"
"I'm sorry miss, it seems that you have to postpone the visit to Mrs. Anne to prevent something bad from happening"I listened to the receptionist's words in front of me with mixed feelings. I really didn't think that Aunt Anne would scream and apologize as soon as she saw my face. Even though I'm sure we've never met before, so why is she apologizing like he's really wronged me? Did she mistake me for someone else?“Currently, the patient has been given sedatives and is resting. So I hope your understanding, miss.""Okay, then I'll visit aunty next time..."I answered wearily. Urrgh, even though I was hoping to get a lot of useful information for my revenge. Along the way I kept thinking about Aunt Anne, wondering if I had met her in a previous life. But no, I didn't find anything about her in my memory! I don't even know anyone named Anne Louis."Huh, if she continues like this, how can I get information from Aunt An
"It's not in vain uncle trust you .."I smiled wryly as I remembered Uncle Sam's words to me a while ago. I have to admit he is a really great actor. How ironic! I think I shudder when I remember the way he looked at me and talked to me. His tone was very warm and sincere, making me a little sure that he believed in the 'show' I was deliberately putting on. But it seems that I'm not the only one who applies a wise saying that says to keep your enemy as close as possible, Uncle Sam also does the same thing as me."Ha ha ha"A discordant laugh escaped my throat. I don't know whether I should be grateful or not with the crisis of trust that I got after I found out the fact that Aunt Donna was a traitor. But thanks to that crisis of trust, I've prepared a backup plan. It's just… from the start, I hoped that I wouldn't have to carry out this backup plan. Because there will be a lot of people would get hurt. And one of them is Nami.A sudden tightness filled my chest when I imagined how Nam
"Huh? Are you okay? Or do you feel pain anywhere?"I just shaking my head while wiping the tears that were so hard to stop to come out. I feel like my eyes are like an open faucet that can't be closed again. It took me a long time to finally completely stop crying. After that hard work, I can clearly see Alliando's face who is still looking at me with a worried look. Even his hands were raised awkwardly, maybe he was confused about what to do because I suddenly cried in front of him. Moreover.. right now he doesn't remember me at all. Huh, dammit! Just thinking about the fact that he forgot about me makes my eyes feel hot again! I quickly waved my hand and fanned my eyes so the tears wouldn't come out again."Are you sure?"He bent down to match our faces. And his actions made my eyes and his eyes meet. For the first time in a long time I was able to look into his eyes which I missed so much. Believe me, I never thought that one day, I would miss him so much, the person I hated the mo
“Anne was actually the one who set the trap to slander Mrs Elena and Mr Richardson. Not only that, she was also the one who planned the death of Mr Richard's wife and made it look as if she committed suicide. Ah, there's one more piece of information I managed to get. However, for this information, I haven't gathered much solid evidence-""Just tell me. I believe that all the information you have provided is the truth.”"It's about the relationship between Mr Richardason and Mr Sam""Relationship?"“Yes, they turned out to be half-brothers with different mothers. And Mr Sam's mother is-""Aunt Anne... Must be Aunt Anne, right?""Yes miss, you are right..."I touched my throbbing head. Even though I've taken medicine to relieve the pain, it still feel the same, in fact it's getting worse and worse. The conversation between me and Alex at the bar just kept going around in my head. As soon as I finished talking to Alex, I decided to head straight home. I just left a message to Nami that
I bit my lip to prevent Alliando from seeing the frustration on my face. At this moment all the bad possibilities started dancing in my head. And what I fear the most is the possibility that Roni could kill Alliando soon. Unlucky! I won't let that happen again! Even if I have to risk my life to save Alliando!But, I'm sure Uncle's plan won't be that shallow. There was no way he could kill Alliando when there was so much attention on him. I'm sure he must have planned something more cruel, according to his character."Well, I don't know if it's just my feeling but every time we meet, you always put on a very interesting expression"He said, with a voice filled with humor, made me who was previously busy with my mind now back to focus on him. Without needing me to ask what he meant just now, he had already continued,"You know, you have an expression like this-"He then started moving his face, showing various expressions he said were the ones I put on my face every time I saw him.“Ev
“Hi, young lady, welcome to your new room!”I stared at Faris's face for a while before finally looking at the room whose door Faris had just opened. My brows immediately furrowed when I saw the room that from today onwards would be my work room. Actually, it's not the first time I've entered this room, considering that this room was previously Uncle Sam's room. It's just, I didn't expect that in an instant, the interior of this room immediately changed. If previously this room gave the impression of luxury and elegance, now, the impression of comfort is the most dominant in this room."So how is it, miss? Do you like it?”Faris asked with enthusiastic eyes. I just nodded my head and started walking into the room. Maybe for others, they will feel very comfortable when entering this room. But for me, no, from the start this room is the battlefield that will decide my fate."Well, it seems you don't really like it-"Faris sighed heavily as he pulled a chair and sat right in front of me.
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
