2021-07-25 16:28:42Jim was waiting. Although looking relaxed, the man was tense and looked very worried about Angel.
“How are you?” Jim pulled out a chair for Angel to sit on, something he had never done before.
“I'm fine.” Angel smiled, trying to be strong.
“But my feelings don't,” she continued hoarsely.
Jim looked at her and furrowed his brows. “You've only been married two days and Dave is already acting like this. If this is the case, then I will ask his motivation for marrying you.” Jim looked at her carefully. “Is it possible he is trying to trap you in this marriage, Angel?”
“Trap me?” Angel looked at Jim confusedly. “But why? For what reason?”
“I do not know.” Jim shrugged his shoulders. “At first I was suspicious of Dave's attitude, which approached you so intensely and quickly, even then proposed to you even though your relationship was just as old

Dave had a dream that night, the same dream that haunted him repeatedly, hurting him. He dreamed of screaming to prevent it, but it was too late. He screamed at Daisy who was lying covered in blood; the blood was so much that it filled his hands, coming from Daisy's head. Moreover, when then the blood grew more and more; Dave realized that he had no hope, that he had lost it all. The ending of her dreams is always the same, filled with sorrow and a painful void. In a panic, Dave stuttered, snatched from his slumbering dream. His body was sweating and he was panting for breath. That dream that always haunted his nights and tormented him. If only he had realized Daisy's strange behavior, if only he could guess and pay a little attention to Daisy to know what was going through her mind. If only…. Dave sighed loudly, humans can only speculate when they are filled with deep regret. Like last night. Dave's heart throbbed. He had snatched his

“You have to leave Dave.”That morning Jim called her. Last night he called her many times, but Angel was too busy crying in pain and could not pick up. Now Angel had calmed down, determined to face it all. This risk she has to take; she married Dave on her own decision, because she was deceived by his sweet attitude and fake love. Now she is trapped in his hatred for some reason. Moreover, she does not want to involve anyone and hurt the people she cares.“I can handle it, Jim.”“But he was so rude yesterday, tugging on your arm like that!” Jim sounded furious. “I would never be that rude to any woman.”Angel took a deep breath. Her eyes filled with tears. Suddenly she missed her peaceful life, when she could enjoy a quiet day behind the green color and the beauty of the flowers in her glass house. Now, Angel does not even dare to visit her greenhouse.“I'll try to find an explanation for all o

Dave's memory drifted to his past memories. Almost seven years ago, when he was only twenty-five and so was Daisy.Daisy was his twin sister; they were not identical twins that are why they were of the opposite sex, and not so much alike. However, they both receive the gift of the physical advantages of their parents. Dave is so handsome and Daisy is so beautiful.Dave of course really loves his sister; his sister is the only one in his family that he really cares. As for their parents, it could be said that their parents' relationship had been broken for a long time; they maintained the marriage only for the sake of status in front of people.Their mother was very busy with various kinds of business as the wife of a wealthy official. Especially their father; the man always comes home every day, but is almost never close to his wife and children, as if there is a barrier that prevents his love for his children.Dave was a man and he was tough. He was used

Dave froze even though his whole being was like being struck by lightning. Are they not their father's children? How could that be? Is his mother having an affair with another man?Nevertheless, the results of the investigation gave Dave an answer as why his father did not seem to care about them, why his father did not have the slightest love for them. It turned out to be because of this, because they were not their father's biological children, and because they somehow seemed to symbolize their father's betrayal, the betrayal of his unloved wife.Then of course, it was natural for their father that he would devote all his attention to Angel, that girl, his flesh and blood, his biological child from the woman Dave was sure he loved very much.“Did you say this to Daisy too?”The investigator looked at Dave regretfully. “Of course I did. Again, I'm just doing what I have to do.”No wonder Daisy was devastated by it. She had

“You can't see Jim again and you can't run the greenhouse anymore.” Dave went straight to Angel that night in his room, as usual came in without permission and was arrogant.For Dave, this is one of his revenge plans, holding Angel from all his passions. He knew she loved her greenhouse very much, and not being able to take care of her greenhouse would be very painful for her.Angel looked up, looked at Dave tiredly. He suddenly noticed that she looked paler and looked sick. His heart throbbed, but then he immediately brushed off any feelings that had arisen. There must be no mercy, if he wants his goal to be achieved, he must be able to be cruel.“Why can’t I?” Angel asked then.Dave raised an eyebrow. “You have no right to ask. I am your husband, whatever my decision you must follow it.”What kind of husband treats his wife like this? Unknowingly Angel grimaced.“Did you do it on pur

Late at night, Dave just got home from his office. The man only came home after ten o'clock at night, almost every day. Angel couldn’t help but wonder, did Dave really go to work? As far as she knows, no one works from morning to ten at night, only workaholics do.Did Dave avoid it? Or is he… spending time with someone?Jealousy gripped her heart and made her feel sad. How pathetic she was. Dave had treated her so cruelly, but she still had a crush on him. When Dave saw Angel sitting on the front sofa and reading a novel she had found on the bookshelf, he stopped and frowned.“Why have not you fallen asleep yet?” he asked.Angel looked at Dave painfully, and then looked away, trying to hide his expression. “I am reading a book.”“Oh.” Dave looked confused as to what to say, and then his eyes hardened again. “Have you bought a dress yet? The party is this weekend, in a few days.”An

It was almost past midnight, when the party and all the rush to tidy it up were over. Dave carefully opened Angel's unlocked door. The room was dark and dim, but in the middle of the bed, under the dim moonlight coming in through the glass above the window, he could clearly see Angel's body lying face down on the bed.Slowly, trying not to make a sound, Dave pulled up a chair and brought it closer to the edge of the bed. He sat there, with his body half bent, hands on his elbows and eyes staring intently at her.With the help of the moonlight, Dave could see Angel's face slanted towards him and he could tell, there were dry, tear marks on her cheeks. Once again, Angel cried again until she fell asleep.Dave's heart ached. At first, he thought that hurting Angel repeatedly, making her cry all the time until she was almost insane would satisfy his aching and vengeful heart. It would allow him to shake off the feeling of a gaping wound when he looked at Daisy's pit

The two of them looked at each other with concern and pale faces. Angel herself was so worried. Her husband treated her badly and now she is pregnant, pregnant not from the fruit of her marital love but from the coercion that her husband put on her.How will Dave treat his son later, while he was treating Angel like this? How will this child grow? Will Dave treat them badly?Suddenly the instinct to protect her child grew from Angel's mind; she immediately wrapped her arms around her and hugged her stomach warily. If Dave wants to hurt her baby, it means she has to fight; yesterday Angel gave up because she felt she was alone, now she has a baby growing in her womb and she has to fight to protect her child.“You should go to the doctor.” Dave looked at Angel who was hugging her stomach while frowning. “We're going to the doctor now.”“I can go alone.” Angel suddenly wanted to keep Dave as far away from her future child

"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.

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.

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.

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!"

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?"
