2022-01-14 22:21:11Dave decided not to tell Angel. He returned to his wife who was patiently waiting at the door while playing with her cell phone, perhaps to ease the anxiety she was feeling.
Hearing the sound of approaching footsteps, Angel suddenly looked up. Dave put on a smile, walking casually over to the woman."Nothing," he said."Are you sure?""Hmm. But I saw crumbs of cake on the floor. The rat must have entered through the air vent above the window. I'll have someone close it tomorrow and call an exterminator,” Dave explained. He saw the cake lying on the pantry, maybe Angel forgot to clean it, so Dave also used that excuse, which luckily Angel believed easily. In this case, Dave really prefers to lie rather than tell Angel the truth and makes the woman feel worried all the time until she keeps thinking. Not long ago, Angel wanted to get up from her slump, Dave didn't want the same thing to happen again. He will handle this alone. Whoever the bastard broke into hiRelated chapters

“Sometimes, I still can't believe how similar we are, Angel. Not only looks, but we also have many of the same hobbies. It really is a miraculous coincidence, isn't it?" Kina looked enthusiastic as she and Angel walked hand in hand out of the restaurant. They chatted at length as if they never ran out of topics at all.On the one hand, Dave who is now walking behind them feels happy because his wife seems to have a friend who she really likes. But on the other hand, he felt a little jealous of being unknowingly pushed aside. The romantic dinner that should have belonged to the two of them was interrupted just like that.Maybe, it wouldn't be a problem anymore if Dave told Angel about Kina's true identity. He will do that tonight. Angel would definitely be very happy, seeing how she reacted now to the presence of her twin sister who she didn't even know about. The sooner Angel knows the better."You guys look alike. Has it ever crossed your mind that you two are

Dave's phone rang, it sounded loud. He immediately picked it up without looking at the caller ID first.Angel, who was getting ready to sleep on the bed, immediately turned her attention to her husband.Dave's forehead seemed to wrinkle at whatever the caller said."Okay, I'll be there soon." Dave's voice sounded worried."Who?" asked Angel curiously as soon as the phone line was cut off and Dave put his cell phone on the bed."The hospital," said Dave."Hospital? Something happened?"Dave, who had just finished taking a shower, put on his clothes in a hurry."Yes," he answered, short and flat.What's really going on? Angel thought. Dave looked worried and his emotions seemed to be unstable. Angel took the initiative to approach him."Are you okay?"Dave didn't answer."Dave," Angel called softly. She touched the man's shoulder and repeated her question, "What's wrong, Dave? What happened at the hospital?"Dave swallow

Angel saw Dave coming out of his sister's room with a downcast face and a momentarily blank stare. Angel approached him so Dave lifted his gaze and only then could Angel see the sadness in the man's eyes. She didn't say anything, moved closer and hugged her husband tightly.Dave immediately returned the hug. He buried his face in the crook of his wife's neck and took a deep breath to find the calmness he could find strangely in Angel."We'd better go home now," Dave said, still hugging Angel, his voice muffled by strands of hair."What about Daisy?" Angel asked, glancing at the glass in the door."She'll be fine," Dave replied, his voice calm.Angel won't ask much. She didn't want to make Dave explain something he didn't want to talk about. So without saying anything, Angel nodded in agreement. They returned home, leaving the hospital which had a very gripping loneliness.In the car, neither of them spoke, both absorbed in their own thoughts. Even after

The sigh that escaped Angel's lips was like a live button for Dave. She was no longer thinking about anything other than the passion that was rapidly burning through their bodies, swirling in their cores of longing for each other.The work clothes Dave was wearing were wrinkled. A few of the buttons on his shirt were undone, and the bottom part of the fabric was coming out of the pants whose belt had also been opened. Meanwhile, Angel was no better, the towel she was wearing had been removed by Dave and, just as Dave thought, Angel was wearing nothing under the towel.“How could you only wear this piece of cloth when you're in the room with me? Did you do it on purpose, Angel? Hm?”Angel's mouth opened, but not an answer came out but another sigh. Dave pampered her, touching every inch of her body like he was worshiping something beautiful; with his hands, with his lips, with his tongue, or with the strands of his hair that tickled Angel's skin

Because Dave has to go to the hospital to visit his sister, Daisy, his vacation plans with Angel are canceled. Angel didn't mind at all. Even she pushed Dave to leave, even though the man said there was no need because his mother was there waiting for his sister so he didn't have to come. However, Angel really understands how Dave feels, which he often hides. Dave was clearly worried about his sister. This wasn't the time to take a vacation while Daisy was in a bad state.“Well,” said Dave at last. Instead, Angel went to meet Kina. The files she had were neatly stored in her bag.They will meet at Angel's flower shop. Kina said she wanted to see the famous flower shop. When Kina said it over the phone this afternoon, Angel blushed.“Angel, a new flower delivery has arrived.” said one of Angel's employees, shifting Angel's attention from the back window of the shop, which overlooks

Day by day, since Angel knew that Kina was her twin sister, Dave realized how Angel seemed enthusiastic every day to meet this woman. Dave spent most of his time at the office and when he got home he wished he could spend it with Angel, watching her relax and rest. However, even at night, Angel goes out with Kina.Dave felt as if his wife was being monopolized. He knew he shouldn't feel that way. That's why Dave decided to take Angel on a trip to the Maldives. Dave already has two plane tickets in his hands, he will surprise Angel when she gets home.When Dave got home, he found Angel was with Kina.“Dave!” Angel walked over to Dave, and took over the briefcase and coat Dave was wearing. Dave smiled, then hugged his wife and kissed her forehead softly.Not far from them, Dave could see Kina was staring at them.“You didn't say that Kina would come tonight,&rd

The day when Angel and Dave would finally go to the Maldives had finally come. It was February. Dave said the weather in the Maldives would be warmer after a long rainy season. To express her enthusiasm, Angel told Kina about her vacation plans.“So, when are you leaving?” asked Kina, her voice languid. While the two of them were at Angel's flower shop.“I'm leaving tonight. Everything was prepared by Dave, we just had to leave,” Angel answered with a big smile because she was so happy.Meanwhile, Kina was getting sullen. “Well, then I'll be alone here then."“Hehehe. Do not be angry. I won't be gone for long. Next week I go home.”“Next week?” Kina looked at Angel with a surprised look. “Are you coming back next week?”Angel nodded. “Hm!

Angel thought because of the hot weather, the sea water would feel warm, but quite the opposite. It was really fresh. Angel buried her body up to her shoulders, while in front of her Dave was swimming from side to side.The bottom of the water is really clean and there is only sand, no coral reefs. Small fish swam to shore and took cover under the pier. Angel tried to approach it, but the small fish immediately scattered in all directions.The clothes that Angel wore were just an ordinary swimsuit, short sleeves and pants that reached above the knees. Angel felt that her appearance was very far from the women she often saw on the internet when they were on vacation in the Maldives. Various kinds of beautiful bikini as if demonstrated. But Angel was too shy to show her body, even in front of her own husband. But she wanted to do it for Dave. Just not now, Angel thought.By the time Angel walked over and dipped her face a few times in the water because

"Are you okay?" Reeves asked the woman beside him who had been silent for a while with a sad face, occasionally glancing at the wounds on Reeves' body.Reeves chuckled. "You have to look at yourself. You're hurt too, Vida. Don't worry too much about me. I'm fine."Vida immediately looked away and rubbed the corners of her eyes. Her whole body was screaming in pain, but the injuries to Reeves' body were so much worse that the pain Vida was suffering seemed to be nothing.“Take it easy. Soon the doctor will come to examine us again.”Vida laid her body tensely on the hospital bed which felt very uncomfortable. Shw just wanted to get out of here immediately and dispel all thoughts of the accident earlier. They were finally placed in a VIP room together at Roy Wijaya's request after some time. He just wanted his men to be able to keep an eye on them without being split into two rooms like before.Meanwhile, even though their injuries

The wind blew the blinds on the open windows. The breeze was cool and immediately hit Mira's face who was sitting on her bed with a blank stare at the cotton tree outside, where two birds were making nests—picking up small branches and arranging them on one of the tree's branches. Apparently, the two birds are a couple, who are building a house for their future children.The birds then reminded Mira of her relationship with her husband. Which over the years has cooled and cannot be called fine. They too used to be like the bird, building their harmonious home for their dear son; Reeves. However, all of that was broken like a storm and rain which one day would also hit the bird's nest on the cotton tree, the presence of an illegitimate child, who Mira never suspected existed.As a result of all that, she became like this. Spent the rest of her meaningless life on a lonely bed. Her husband is somewhere, she doesn't care.But her son ... Mira missed him. She

A few moments later, Roy Wijaya's assistant came after completing the administration. He also informed that Miss Vida has been transferred to the VIP room which is the best service in this hospital.“Master, Miss Vida has already been transferred to the VIP room. Are you going to see her for a bit?” reported the assistant to Roy Wijaya.“Is Miss Vida awake? I will ask her a little information," asked the policeman then took out his notebook.The assistant turned to Roy Wijaya intending to ask his permission whether he could tell the police or not. Roy Wijaya just nodded in agreement."Yes, Miss Vida is awake and she was taking her medicine earlier," replied the assistant. He then invited Roy Wijaya to walk first.The three of them then walked to the top floor, which is a special VIP room floor using the elevator for guests. When they got there, they saw Vida had

Their trip was fine at first. Reeves with a cool style while driving while Vida with a happy face because she will eat food which is one of her favorites. Until suddenly a truck came from behind. It looks like the truck had a brake failure and at high speed descended the downhill road. The truck crashed into the car that was being ridden by Reeves and Vida unavoidably. Due to the force of the collision, the rear body of the car was badly damaged and both their heads bounced forward and hit the windshield. The seat belts managed to keep them from hitting the windshield and shattering them and throwing their bodies forward, which has been confirmed that down there is a ravine, with very hard and sharp rocks down there.Reeves' car horn blared as his cheek pressed against the center of the steering wheel causing the noise. However, it was thanks to the noise that people who were around the scene ran towards the accident. They wanted to help the two of them but both

Vida couldn't believe what she heard with her own ears. She even banged her ears for fear of having trouble with her ears. Reeves who was annoyed to see the girl's behavior restrained her hand so as not to hit her head again.“If you want to hit your head, at least not in front of me!” said Reeves curtly. Vida pouted. She became awkward again when she realized Reeves' hand was holding hers. Likewise with the man who did not realize that he had touched her without his permission. He finally let go of the hand of a woman who would easily smile if she saw something she thought was funny.“I apologize for what I said a few days ago. I was a little too much at the time," said Reeves shyly admitting his mistake."A little? You say a little too much? You've hurt my feelings so much. Do you know that, Mr. Reeves Wijaya?” Vida sarcastically let out the feelings in her heart.&ldq

A few dozen minutes later Reeves' car stopped on a hill with a fairly large parking lot. Not many people were there. Just a few people with their partners. It's the same with the two of them who came in pairs."What place is this?" Vida looked through the windshield to see the place they had visited that night.Reeves half holding back his smile. "You'll find out later. Come on down," he muttered in his usual flat tone for Vida."I don't want to. Until you answer my question, I'm not getting out of the car. Answer quickly! What place is this? Why did you bring me here?" Vida asked just as stubbornly. She folded her arms in front of her chest.Reeves rolled his eyes. "Just come along, Vida, I won't do anything bad to you if you're worried about that." The man was silent for a moment. "Or do you want us to stay here all night?" He shrugged. "I don't mind, you know."Vida is s

Holding back his anger, Liam intends to follow Reeves, who is taking Vida to the rehab where Vida's father is being treated. He could have been made to lose steps from his half-brother. If this continues, that girl's heart might be stolen by that damn Reeves. This cannot be tolerated. As long as he was still breathing, he would keep trying to get Vida's attention at all costs. He would never be willing to lose in any case to Reeves.Driving the BMW 8 Series Coupe, the latest luxury car with beautiful and futuristic body curves, Liam penetrated the city streets which at that time was approaching the hour of work for the workers or employees. Of course he couldn't get to his destination right away because of the traffic jams which annoyed him immensely.Several times the sound of honking horns was heard because they were impatient with each other. Due to the noise that is waiting for him in front of his eyes, plus Liam who was annoyed to hear

Only Reeves and Vida were in the room. Vida observed him leaning casually on the door. The man now looked as usual, looking handsome. The girl's eyes traced his lips and then her cheeks flushed red as the memory of her kiss with him on the balcony hit her straight away. Reeves seemed to know what was on Vida's mind. Maybe because he saw her cheeks suddenly turn bright red."Would you like to go with me?" suddenly Reeves asked. "You don't have anything to do this holiday, do you?"In fact she have. Vida wants to visit her father in rehab while today is a holiday. "No, I have something to do."Instantly Reeves gaze sharpened. "You're going with Liam?"Vida frowned. "No. I don't even know where Liam is. I'm going to visit my father.""In rehab?" Reeves looked thoughtful for a moment. "I'll take you," he continued later, in an undeniably firm voice."No need!" Vida half shouted to refuse. She couldn't imagine spending her day off with Reeves, le

Liam half slams the door to his room, his breath panting and he furrows his brows, actually frowning at the pain. Cold sweat ran down his forehead and he felt excruciating pain all over his body. Liam tried to catch his breath, but a rancid smell wafted from his nose filled with fresh blood, flowing non-stop until it reached frightening levels.He wiped the blood from his nose with his handkerchief, then threw the red handkerchief on the floor. His legs were shaking, he was shuffling trying to reach the bed, but apparently the bed was too far for him.His body fell to the floor, losing consciousness.When Liam opened his eyes, he was in a faint white room. His eyes blinked because of the light that contrasted with the darkness that always surrounded him. Having overcome the light, Liam looked around the room. The first thing he saw was Roy Wijaya. The old man looked somber, sitting in the chair next to his bed."Grandpa, you come back from London?"
