Barbra needed clarification on the explanation given by Jordan. She felt the need to clarify and asked Jordan for further explanation."Listen, Jordan," Barbra said sternly, "you can't just make a statement like that without a clear explanation. What do you mean by looking for a better woman? What does that have to do with Gama in this context? I need a more concrete explanation from you."Barbra looked at Jordan seriously, seeking a satisfactory answer to her confusion. "I don't think there's anything to explain; it's none of anyone's business. So please don't doubt my life because I already have my path, which is necessary for me and my needs. After that, Jordan left, killing Barbara in his back.Barbra was taken aback by Jordan's sudden indifference to her confusion. Although she tried to seek a better understanding of the situation, Jordan did not seem interested in providing a satisfactory explanation. Disappointed, Barbra decided to let Jordan go.Meanwhile, Jordan joined Sierr
"Sierra, I can't lie to you. We have to be prepared for whatever happens," Jordan said softly, trying to support Sierra amid her uncertainty."Whatever happens? What does that have to do with what you mean, Jordan? Do you think Gama will die? No, Gama won't just leave you," Sierra became hysterical and quickly recovered from the shock of her question.Jordan tried to hold back, but he failed. Sierra ran out, but Audie and Barbra arrived as she opened the door and immediately prevented her from leaving."Sierra, don't go, please Mom," she pleaded, to Audie, feeling sorry for her daughter."Mom, did you tell me that Agama wouldn't leave?" Sierra asked with certainty."Audie," she replied, silent and wondering what to say."Sierra dear, forgive me."Again and again, Sierra heard the apology, which hit her even harder. Sierra fell to the floor helplessly, tears flowing freely; she still could not accept Gama's departure.Jordan looked at Sierra with an expression full of love and worry. "
The news of Gama's death came as a complete shock to Sierra. She felt as if her world had collapsed in an instant. Gama was the husband she loved so much, and now she was gone. Sierra didn't know what to do, her mind frantic with grief. She decided to meet Lord Featherston, hoping to find out the truth behind this news.Sierra stepped gingerly into Lord Featherston's study. The middle-aged man lifted his face and looked at Sierra with a sad look in his eyes."Stop wishing for it, Sierra. Gama is dead now," Lord Featherston said bitterly.Sierra gasped at those words. Softly but firmly, she replied, "He was my husband, Lord. There is no way I would not care to hear what happened to my husband!"Lord Featherston let out a long sigh. "I understand, Sierra," he said softly. "I will give you the opportunity to see him, but not now."Sierra gave Lord Featherston an incredulous look. "Later? Why does it have to be later? I don't want to, I just want to see my husband right now. And why do you
"It's never too late, Sierra," Barbara said in a gentle tone, trying to calm the tense atmosphere. "You should be grateful that we still care about you because we love you." However, those words only made Sierra's temper flare up even more."You don't have to be nice in front of me, Barbara." Sierra said in a trembling voice, holding back the tears that were about to burst. Her hands were clasped tightly at her sides. "No matter what you do, nothing can erase all the bad things you've done to me."Barbara shook her head slowly, looking at Sierra with a pleading gaze. "No Sierra, I really care about you, it may be too late, but I want to make things right. Give me a chance."Sierra snorted, a cold expression plastered on her pale face. "Fix everything?" She asked sarcastically. "There's nothing to fix. Everything is already ruined. You, your husband, your mother, and your grandmother, you're a bunch of hypocrites." Every sentence she uttered was filled with long pent-up anger."Sierra!"
"Ms. Lopiuy, I would like to talk about Gama," Sierra said calmly despite being slightly disappointed with the attitude Lopiuy was showing her. Lopiuy's face turned sour when Sierra mentioned Gama's name."I'm sorry, Miss Sierra, I'm swamped today and can't be disturbed, so you'd better come back again," Lopiuy said coldly.That statement certainly angered Sierra. She immediately blocked Lopiuy's path as she was about to leave."I know you don't want to talk to me, Ms. Lopiuy. But why do you seem to be avoiding me? What did I do wrong?" Sierra demanded, her emotions running high."Sorry, it's not for me to explain," Lopiuy still stood her ground, and this time, she left Sierra alone in her room. At this tension, Sierra's heart was utterly broken. She went with a million questions that she could not find answers to.When Sierra returns, she is met by Jordan, who looks worried at her sad expression."Sierra, what's going on here?" Jordan asked, looking worried as he stood alone in the co
"Get well soon, I can't see it like this, I need you."Lopiuy expressed her feelings sincerely to the bedridden man, hoping that her voice could provide support and encouragement for his recovery."He will recover, Lopiuy. And he will return to me fully," Lord Featherston said in a firm voice, showing his confidence that the man would recover from his injuries.Lopiuy, who was surprised by Lord Featherston's arrival, tried to compose himself. "Lord Featherston? Sorry, I didn't realize you were coming."Lord Featherston smiled warmly. "Hemm...no problem. That way, I know that you are also worried about my grandson, Gama."What Sierra feared was true, Gama was not dead, he was alive. And the power of love is real. But why was Lord Featherston hiding it from her?Right now Lopiuy could only smile a little in response to what Lord Featherston said to her."And I hope you also remember what I said." Lord Featherston spoke again."Of course I remember, my lord, it's just that I feel sorry fo
"I'll take you to the party, we'll see if Gama is the heir or not."Sierra was relieved to hear Jordan's offer to take her to the inaugural ball. With Jordan by her side, she felt she had some much-needed support in her quest to discover the truth about Gama's existence."Thank you, Jordan. I really appreciate it," Sierra said in a voice of gratitude. Jordan smiled, giving Sierra a reassuring look. "No need to thank me, Sierra. We are a team now and I will help you until you get the truth."Sierra was even more moved and felt guilty that she had hated him in the past."I didn't expect you to go this far to help me, Jordan. I'm sorry that I didn't like you before." Sierra said regretfully."No Sierra, I should be the one apologizing to you. I'm sorry that I worked with your parents and sister to separate you from Gama, but now I realize I shouldn't have done that." Jordan said with a regretful face.Jordan's sincere apology touched Sierra. She could feel the deep regret in her best fr
William responded tactfully to Ledy Maheswara's statement, showing his maturity in understanding the business situation."You're right, Gran. Especially now that our company name is in good contact with Featherston's company. Of course it can't be underestimated," William said with confidence.Robert also gave his response, adding his perspective to the situation. "This party shrimp from the Featherston company will really have a good impact on us, won't it?"However, their peace was interrupted by Giorgio's sudden arrival with his surprising question."Invitation? So we get an official invitation from the Featherston company?" asked Giorgio, interrupting their conversation."Robert, annoyed by this sudden arrival, rebuked Giorgio in a slightly rude tone, "Giorgio? You ... is it polite of you to behave like this?"Giorgio's rude behavior made Robert uncomfortable, and he expected Giorgio to explain his sudden presence.Giorgio looked surprised and a little offended by William's snide
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
