Jordan became increasingly anxious and agitated when he found no trace of Sierra at the hotel where they had met. With a face full of worry, he tried to find her whereabouts. However, the answers he received needed to be more satisfactory.When she asked the EO manager and hotel manager, both had the same answer. Neither of them knew Sierra's whereabouts. ,Jordan felt increasingly desperate and worried. Where could Sierra have gone? What was happening to her? Fear and uncertainty crept into his mind as he searched for Sierra's whereabouts without success.Despite the risk, Jordan went to Lopiyu at the company where Lopiyu worked."Lopiyu, I'm looking for Sierra. Do you know where she is?" asked Jordan, trying to contain his anxiety.Lopiyu looked at Jordan with a sharp gaze. "Why are you asking me? Is there something you're hiding from me?"Jordan was overwhelmed. Not knowing what to answer, "No, of course not, I'm just worried about Sierra. I thought maybe she was here."Lopiyu look
After waiting for a while, Jordan, together with Lopiyu, had arrived at the place where he was now.He, who was sitting at his desk, had a severe expression and was not as friendly as he usually was. "Jordan, sit down," he said briefly, pointing to the chair before the desk.Jordan sat down shakily. "I'm sorry, Gama. I know I've made a big mistake.""You completely betrayed my trust, Jordan. Did you not think about the consequences of your actions?" Her statement was enough to make the man who was once so arrogant and haughty could now only remain silent with his head bowed. Despite the support of the woman he loved beside him. Feeling that he had made a mistake, Jordan was very sorry. "I know I've made a big mistake, Gama. I shouldn't have planned something like this; I was returning Sierra's safety."Jordan was trembling as he sat in front of Gama. Gama's serious and sharp expression made him feel even more guilty."I'm sorry, Gama. I know I made a big mistake," Jordan said trembli
Sierra watched Aristo's back slowly move away, her confusion mounting. With a troubled heart, she turned to Gama and Jordan, seeking understanding."What's wrong with him? Doesn't he want me to call him uncle," Sierra asked, surprised.Gama sighed. "He's a... complex person. But don't worry too much about him right now. The important thing is for you to focus on your recovery."Sierra nodded, relieved that the incident was over. However, there was still confusion in her mind about Darius and his motives.While Gama, with a severe face, turned his attention back to Darius, "We must focus on what is most important now. Darius is free, but that's a threat to all of us. We need to plan our next move carefully."Jordan nodded as if understanding the complexity of the situation. "Gama, we haven't always been on the same page, but our enemy is Darius. I'm here to help."Gama took a deep breath, seemingly reluctant to accept Jordan's help but realizing the importance of unity in this critical
As Gama and Lopiuy stormed into the library, they encountered a thrilling scene. Darius stood tall, facing a cornered and threatened Lord Featherston. The middle-aged man looked exhausted and suffocated by Darius' firm grip on his collar. "Oh my God, what are you doing to my grandfather? Let him go!" Gama shouted in a voice full of anger and worry. His protective instincts were instantly triggered, his eyes blazing with determination to protect his family. Darius turned around with a stern and defiant expression, his gaze showing no remorse or fear. "Gama! Ah, you've come at last. I only want what is rightfully mine. Lord Featherston here seems reluctant to give me the inheritance rights I deserve. I just persuaded him a little!" Lord Featherston tried to break free from Darius' grip, but his efforts were futile given their strength difference. "This is no way to ask for something, Darius! You can't just take what you want by force!" Lopiuy, who was also prepared, stepped forward,
In a corner away from the hustle and bustle, Ayala watched from a distance through the monitor screen that showed the events at Lord Featherston's residence. Her facial expression changed from calm to panic as she saw Darius being arrested and taken back into custody. He knew very well that with Darius' arrest, it was only a matter of time before all of their plans were exposed and he was targeted by law enforcement.Feeling rushed and with her mind in turmoil, Ayala began to plan her escape. She opened her desk drawer, retrieved some essential documents and passports, and collected some cash that had been prepared for emergencies like this. As she stuffed all these items into her small bag, her mind kept drifting to the terrible possibilities that could happen if she was caught."Damn, everything's a mess now," Ayala muttered as she packed her belongings. "I need to get out of here before things get worse."As Ayala prepared to leave, the house door suddenly opened, and Darius walked
Gama's face flushed as he heard Darius' heartless and cruel confession. His blood boiled, and he could barely believe what had just come from Darius' mouth. "You... you don't have a heart," Gama hissed, his voice trembling with deep anger and hatred. Darius just chuckled, the satisfaction clear on his face. "Oh, Gama, don't be so naive. In this world, people like me are in control. Weak people like your father-in-law are just getting in my way." Lopiuy, who was standing next to Gama, clenched his fists, barely able to stop himself from throwing punches. However, he knew they needed more information from Darius before taking action. "So, you confessed to all your crimes just like that? You think you'll get away with it after all?" asked Lopiuy, trying to keep his voice calm. Darius shrugged as if unperturbed by the situation at hand. "Yes, I admit it. And what, you two can't do much about it? Evidence? You don't have any evidence to pin me down." Aristo, who had previously remained
Gama, who had been listening quietly, finally spoke up. "We will ensure your safety, Ayala. The next step you take in helping us will determine how we can protect you and your family." She continued firmer, "And after giving testimony, I hope you will stay out of our lives. Never appear in my family's life again for any reason." Ayala bowed her head, accepting the decision with a heavy heart. She knew the next steps were her chance to make amends, and she was determined to do her best. "Fine, Gama, I will do as you wish, and thank you for forgiving me." As the meeting at Lord Featherston's house ended, they received news from the hospital where Audie was being treated. After several days in an unconscious state, Audie finally opened his eyes and gradually began to gain full consciousness. The hospital room was silent, only the beeping sound of the monitors signaling Audie's stable condition. Sitting by Audie's bedside, Sierra felt a deep sense of relief when she saw Audie's ope
Audie was momentarily silent, trying to digest the doctor's information. A mess of emotions filled his mind, refusing to believe that what he had just heard was true. "Doctor, please explain once more," he pleaded tremblingly. "How can you say that she is not my biological daughter? I gave birth to her myself!" The doctor took a deep breath, understanding Audie's confusion and pain. "I understand that this is very hard to believe," he said calmly. "The DNA test results show no genetic link between you and your child. I know this is a shock, and I am truly sorry to have to deliver this news." Audie sat down, feeling dizzy. Barbara, beside him, clasped his hand tightly, trying to provide support. "Maybe there was a mistake," she said, trying to calm her mother. "Maybe there was a mistake in the sampling or something in the lab." "Can we do the test again?" asked Barbara, her eyes hopeful. "Sure," replied the doctor. "We can arrange a repeat DNA test to make sure there was no mistake
Sierra looked at her mother with teary eyes. "But, Mom..."Audie shook her head. "There is no but, Sierra. I know your heart is broken, but I also know that Gama loves you. We've all made mistakes, but what matters is how we fix them."Sierra took a deep breath, feeling calmer in her mother's presence. "Alright, mom. But I need time to digest all this."Audie smiled gently and rubbed Sierra's head. "I understand, dear. I'll call Gama. Give her a chance to explain and make things right."Audie walked out of the room with calm but confident steps, leaving Sierra with her thoughts. Moments later, Gama came back in, her eyes still red and regretful."Sierra, I know I've let you down," he said hoarsely. "But I promise I will do everything I can to make things right. I love you more than anything in the world."Sierra looked up at Gama, seeing the sincerity and guilt in his eyes. She knew their journey to restore trust and love would not be easy, but she was confident they could get through
Clarissa turned her head, turned her wheelchair, and looked at Vicky softly. "Vicky, are you coming?""Yes, I'm coming. I want to accompany you for treatment," Vicky replied, her voice full of sincerity."Really? I'm glad to hear that. But I don't think it's necessary. I still have my mom to accompany me," Clarissa replied with a faint smile. Soon, Audie arrived, carrying their flight files."But, Clarissa-""No, Vicky," Clarissa cut in, her voice trembling. "I apologize for being selfish with you. You're right; someone like me doesn't deserve you. I'm just a disabled woman who has little chance of recovery. You deserve to live happily with the woman you love, Lopiuy."Vicky leaned closer, grasping Clarissa's hand gently. "No, I chose you, Clarissa. Not because I felt sorry or forced to, but because I love you."Tears began to well up in Clarissa's eyes. "But Vicky, life with me will be difficult. I don't want to be a burden to you.""Clarissa, you're not a burden. You are my reason fo
Rony looked boldly at Jordan. "Yes, my future wife. And I won't let anyone bother her."Jordan looked confused and angry. She let go of Lopiuy's hand reluctantly, but her angry gaze remained fixed on Rony. "Lopiuy, is it true what he said?" she asked in an incredulous tone.Lopiuy looked at Rony in confusion, but before he could answer, Rony said firmly, "Yes, it's true.""Lopiuy, I can prove it to you," Rony continued without giving Lopiuy a chance to speak. He pulled Lopiuy back into the car and drove off. Seeing that, Jordan did not remain silent, he followed them wherever they went.On the way, Lopiuy repeatedly asked, "Where are we going? What did you mean by that?" But Rony didn't answer at all. He continued to drive until he arrived at the district court."Rony, what are we going to do here?" asked Lopiuy in confusion."Get married," Rony replied briefly."Marry? To whom?" Lopiuy looked even more confused.Rony did not answer. He just looked at Lopiuy gently and took his hand. "
At this moment, Sierra and Gama were enjoying breakfast together. Not long after, the waiter came to announce the arrival of a guest."Madam, we have a guest.""Who?" asked Sierra."Mr. Rony," replied the waiter."Rony? Why is he here so early? Just kick him out," replied Gama in an annoyed tone."Gama, don't be like that. Just let him in," Sierra pleaded calmly."Yes ma'am," the servant replied, and left to carry out Sierra's orders. Not long after, Rony came to meet them."Good morning," Rony said kindly. However, Gama's look of dislike made Rony feel uncomfortable and bowed his head."Sorry, I...""Rony, why are you here?" Lopiuy suddenly arrived, immediately grabbed Rony's hand and led her away."Sorry, young lady, for disturbing you," Lopiuy said before the two of them left."Lopiuy, wait, let her-" Sierra tried to stop Lopiuy, but her voice was cut off by Gama."Honey, let it go. We'll talk about this tomorrow. We have to go now," Gama said as she gently took Sierra's hand.Sierr
However, Rony's laughter came to an abrupt halt when the car Lopiuy was traveling in came to a sudden stop. Lopiuy hit the brakes hard, causing their bodies to jerk forward. "What's wrong?" asked Rony, confused.Lopiuy turned sharply to him, his face showing the anger he had been holding back. "Can't you stop talking? I'm sick of hearing your nonsense. Now you better get out of my car."Rony was surprised to hear Lopiuy's cold and sharp tone. "But, Lopiuy...."Lopiuy didn't want to hear any excuses. "Get out!" he exclaimed in a voice that could not be denied.With a heavy heart, Rony opened the car door and got out, standing on the side of the road while Lopiuy immediately drove away without a word. Rony could only watch the car disappear in the distance, feeling a mixture of confusion, disappointment, and a little regret for perhaps pushing too hard on Lopiuy. However, underneath it all, he still hoped there would be another chance to get to know Lopiuy better, someday.Rony stood on
"Lopiuy," Jordan called in a voice that sounded desperate."What else? Please stop bothering me. How many times do I have to tell you this?" replied Lopiuy in an angry tone, trying to control her emotions.They were in the lobby of the apartment, Lopiuy tried to get away but Jordan kept urging her to come back with him. Jordan looked desperate, trying to grab Lopiuy's hand but was firmly rejected."Lopiuy, please listen to me. I still love you. I know I've made a lot of mistakes, but I'm willing to fix them," Jordan said with a trembling voice.Lopiuy let out a long breath, trying to control her anger. "Jordan, you've hurt me so many times. I can't go on like this. I need space and time for myself. You must understand that.""But, Lopiuy, we can fix things together. I can't imagine life without you," Jordan continued, her voice growing more distressed."No, Jordan. You have to understand that this isn't about us anymore. It's about me having to move on with my life. I need freedom and
"Rony? Why are you here? And how do you know my apartment room?" asked Lopiuy, surprised to see Rony standing at the door."Is it a miracle that I found your room? I don't think so. Because we're still in the same building. I can still explore the forest, how much more this place?" replied Rony casually."Alright, I understand. Now tell me quickly, what's wrong?" asked Lopiuy in a worried tone."Don't you want to offer to let me in? My legs are tired from standing all the time," Rony complained as he glanced at Lopiuy's apartment.Lopiuy sighed. "No, I...""OK, thanks," Rony cut in quickly, just walked in and sat down on the sofa. "I'm thirsty, don't you have anything to eat and drink?"Lopiuy closed the door irritably. "Rony, you can't just walk into someone's apartment without permission. This is my private place."Rony just smiled broadly. "Yeah, yeah, I know. But we're friends, right? So, I feel comfortable here."Lopiuy shook his head and walked into the kitchen. He picked up a b
"Ricky, you... you're still here?" asked Lopiuy in surprise when he saw that the man was still in the office. The meeting had ended two hours ago, and now, as Lopiuy prepared to leave, he still saw Ricky there."Yes, I was waiting for you to come home. I want to take you home together. Do you want to?" Ricky asked in an expectant tone."Go home together?" Lopiuy repeated his words, confused."Yeah, I wanted to ask you earlier, but I know we're still talking about work, so we shouldn't be talking about anything other than work. So, do you want to go home with me?" Ricky tried to explain.Lopiuy hesitated for a moment, searching for the right words. "Sorry, I can't, I..."Ricky stopped him with a pleading look. "Lopiuy, please, just this once. I promise after this I won't force you to go out with me again. We'll just have dinner, that's all. Nothing more."Lopiuy looked at Ricky, seeing the earnestness in his eyes. He knew that Ricky wasn't lying. Although his heart was still in doubt,
After traveling for a few minutes, the car driven by Lopiuy finally arrived at its destination. They both got out of the car and headed to the apartment where Rony would be living.Rony looked at the towering apartment building with a mixture of awe and anxiety. This was a new beginning for him, and although he felt grateful, there was also a sense of uncertainty that haunted him."This is the place," Lopiuy said nonchalantly. "The apartment is quite cozy and in a great location. You'll feel at home here. I also live here, I'm on the top floor, Apartment Suite Room."Rony nodded as he looked around. The neighborhood looked clean and organized, with green trees giving it a beautiful feel. "Thank you, Lopiuy. I really appreciate all your help.""Don't hesitate, Rony. Sierra and Gama want to make sure you have the best after all that has happened," Lopiuy replied with a smile. "Come, I'll show you to your room."The two of them then entered the apartment building. A spacious lobby with m
