Early in the morning, Renata woke up from her sleep. She winced when she felt a pain in her groyne. She turned her head to her side, where Bastian was nowhere to be seen.'Where is he?' Renata thought about it and gradually got up.She was pensive for a moment. Once again, she fell under Bastian's charm. Actually, she was happy like this without feeling awkward or afraid. But Rena herself was just afraid; she again put her hopes in Bastian, and in the end, she was the one who received disappointment.Trust me."Should I trust you this time, Bas?" she murmured.Renata hurried off the bed and into the bathroom. She needed a warm bath to neutralise all her muscle tissues.***"What would you like to make, ma'am?" the waitress asked when she saw Renata in the kitchen."A hot drink.""Let me make it."Renata shook her head. "No need. I can do it myself; it's better if you do something else."The servant wanted to argue; however, Renata had already taken her glass first. Finally, she excuse
Renata had just come down the stairs. She frowned when she saw a middle-aged woman enter the mansion carrying several bags of groceries. Renata recognised that woman. If she remembered correctly, she was Julian's wife."Good morning," he said, greeting the woman with a wide, motherly smile."Good morning, Tante. Emm, Bastian has just left," Renata replied as she stood in front of the woman."Don't call me Tante. Call me Mom," she said to none other than Maria, Julian's first wife."Eh?""You're my daughter-in-law, so call me Mom.""Umm okay."Maria smiled warmly at her as she rubbed Renata's head. Renata felt that Maria was nice; she was so motherly, not much different from her mother."Mom, bring some food. Have you eaten yet?""Not yet, Mom.""Then let's have lunch together."Maria took Renata to the dining table. She took out all the dishes she had brought."Mommy cooked for you and Bastian. Unfortunately, Bastian has already left, so you can just eat, yes," Maria said, looking exc
In the afternoon, Bastian has gone somewhere, and Clairy is still at the mansion. Renata reluctantly went downstairs and had to cross paths with that woman. Since the first time they met, that woman had raised the war flag against her. Renata tried to ignore her.Her eyes accidentally caught the figure of a car at the main gate. The balcony on the second floor Renata continued to watch the man who got out of the car and looked at the surrounding area."Leo?" muttered Renata in shock. "What is he doing there?"Without thinking, Renata climbed down the stairs and ran out of the mansion. Clairy saw it all."Where did that bitch go?" muttered Clairy.Renata reached the main gate, and thankfully, there were no guards there. She opened the gate, and someone immediately called out to her."Tata!""Leo, what are you doing here?" asked Renata, looking around worriedly."I was looking for you; I was so worried about you.""Leo, I told you. Get as far away as you can and don't mind me.""How cou
Bastian came home drunk. He entered the house staggering and hit the table and Gucci several times until they fell and broke on the floor.Hearing the commotion, Renata woke up from her sleep. She walked out of her room and saw from upstairs where Bastian had fallen with an injured hand from the broken tiles of the Gucci."Oh my God, Bastian!" shrieked Renata as she ran down the steps. She helped Bastian to his feet."What happened to you?" Renata said. Bastian did not usually come home drunk.Renata was quite overwhelmed by Bastian's large body. They climbed the stairs to the second floor. Renata took Bastian into their room and laid him down on the bed. She hurried to bring warm water to a basin and medical equipment.Renata started to take off Bastian's shoes, took off his watch, and even saw a pistol around his waist. Renata took the gun and put it on the table.Renata treated Bastian's wounded and bleeding palm. She wrapped it with a bandage.Afterward, she went back to cleaning

Bastian walked out of his office. He and Renata had been in separate rooms all night. Bastian doesn't like Renata protecting and defending other men. Even though he was Renata's husband, even though Bastian realized that he was the one who forced Renata to get married and be by his side,That morning, Bastian was already neat in his work suit. He has to go to the company center, where there is a big meeting between shareholders and subsidiary leaders. And now it's time for him to meet with Julian.Renata had just come out of her room, and that's when they crossed paths and briefly exchanged glances, but Bastian turned his face away first."I'm not going to kill your lover," Bastian said in a flat tone. "Wait for me to prepare everything to send you back to your family, and I'll file for divorce. At that time, you can be with your ex-lover!" After saying that, Bastian moved away, leaving Renata, who was still frozen in place.I will divorce you and send you home."How easy it is for hi
"Bi, where is Renata?" asked Clairy when he stepped into the kitchen."She hasn't come out of her room all day.""What happened? Did they have a fight yesterday?" asked Clairy, trying to find out."I don't know for sure, but they didn't sleep in the same room last night."Clairy's smile spread perfectly. Gotcha! This is what she wanted."Is that lunch for her?" asked Clairy."Yes. Madam asked for it to be delivered to her room.""Let me deliver it," said Clairy."That's-""It's okay. You just do your job.""Alright then. Excuse me." The servant walked away.Bastian had left since this morning, as Clairy had a big meeting at Julian's company. Surely he would come home at night and not see Renata's condition today.And Clairy would do something to that woman!"Hm, just wait, Renata. I'll make you not feel at home here," she muttered ambitiously.In Clairy's brain, there were many plans to bring Renata down in Bastian's eyes.One had worked. She was sure that the other plan would have a
Bastian went down the stairs and saw Clairy's sedan pacing there."Honey, how's the girl doing? She's fine, isn't she? I was so shocked when Jacob arrived. I tried to hold him back, but my strength wasn't that strong," Clairy explained."Go home!""Honey. I miss you. I've been waiting for you. You're kicking me out now?" protested Clairy."Stop acting. I already know everything. Go away, Clairy, don't provoke me!" said Bastian emphatically. Clairy walked away, very upset, and slammed the door.Bastian rubbed his face furiously. Many things happened today.***Bastian saw Renata sleeping. He walked into his office, where he opened his laptop, where Vincent sent him a message that he had successfully hacked his cellphone and got the messages on it.Bastian's eyes widened as he read the contents of the message on the old cellphone. It turned out that Farmos had communicated with his father, Scott, a week before the incident occurred in his family. Fermos explained that Julian knew that S
BRITANIA RAYACurrently, Renata is with Bastian's parents. Ari and Zayden were visiting the Gonemanus residence, where Davero and Agneta were also there."Brother Veera!" Ari exclaimed, approaching Javeera, who was peeling grapes. "Why are you peeling the grapes?""I don't like the skin," Javeera replied. "Do you want some?""No, I don't. Ari wants to eat this one; Ari likes the skin," Ari said, taking another fresh grape."Ka... ka... ka..."Zayden ran towards Ariana and Javeera."Zay, don't run; you'll fall again," Ariana shouted."No need to yell; he's already fallen," Javeera chuckled."Huaaa, it hurts!" Zayden cried, holding his knee."That's why, when you talk, listen. You can't run; you like to fall," Ariana grumbled."What makes a beautiful princess grumble?" said Angela, who had just arrived."It's Aunty Zayden; he's naughty," said Ariana."Momy... huaaa... Daddy..."Angela approached the two-year-old. "W
Doctor Elizabeth came out of the operating room making everyone get up from their seats. After six hours, the surgery was finally over."What about Renata?" asked Bastian."Congratulations, the baby was born without missing anything and in good health. For the mother, we still need to observe her for the next few days. We found a wound on her uterus, and that's the cause of the bleeding. It looks like it was a wound caused during her first pregnancy," Elizabeth explained."Thank you doctor."Elizabeth walked away and left them all. Not long after, the gurney that Renata was on was pushed out of the operating room. She was still unconscious with a breathing apparatus attached to her mouth. Blood transfusion was still being done.After taking away the gurney where Renata was, now a small gurney containing a tiny baby who was still red was also pushed out of the room. Everyone surrounded the handsome baby with emotion."Congratulations to you, finally gett
Eight Months Later....Renata and Bastian had just returned from the hospital after seeing Aline and Vincent's baby who gave birth to a son named Zachary Owen Ballard."Aline and Vincent's son is so handsome," said Renata taking a seat on the bed assisted by Bastian. Renata's pregnancy had entered the ninth month and was about to enter the tenth month in the next two weeks."Yes, similar to his father," replied Bastian. "Do you want me to make you a fresh drink?""Umm... that's fine. I'd like a piece of fruit too," Renata said."Okay."Renata closed her eyes by leaning her head against the back of the bed. Her womb was getting bigger, but there was no sign that she would give birth soon.According to the doctor, the baby was healthy. Renata just needed to wait until week 40, and if there were still no contractions. The doctor would take a caesarean section to remove the baby."Mommy..."Renata opened her eyes as Ari's voice was heard ente
"Hello, Rena.""Wow, the newlyweds are back from their honeymoon," Renata exclaimed."It's Ari's birthday soon. We want to join the celebration," said Aline, who was now sitting on the sofa right next to Renata."Umm... by the way, where is Bastian?" asked Vincent."Bastian? In the kitchen," Renata replied, making Aline and Vincent look at each other."In the kitchen, what are you doing?" asked Vincent."Making dessert for me," Renata replied casually."Bastian? Making dessert?" exclaimed a very surprised Vincent."Yes."Soon Bastian appeared there wearing an apron, his face dirty with flour."The dessert is finished, please try it," said Bastian, very satisfied with the result and put it in front of Renata."Wow, it looks delicious," Aline exclaimed."I'll try it," said Renata taking a spoon and tasting it."EMmm too sweet, I don't like it, change," said Renata."Okay," replied Bastian.Vincent followed Bast
As promised, Bastian and Renata are now in a tall, luxurious building where the latest sports cars are sold. In that building, a lot of the latest sports cars are lined up dashingly and luxuriously, making pairs of eyes that see them immediately fascinated and want to buy them."How is it? Have you found the right one?" asked Bastian, who was standing next to Renata."Hmm... which one do you think is better?" Instead of answering, Renata asked back."How about this?" asked Bastian, walking towards the car of his choice."I don't like the color," Renata replied."Okay." Bastian walked back to one of the cars. "How about this? It's violet, like your favorite color. How about it?""I don't like it; it's too long," Renata replied."Are you looking for a mini car like a mini Cooper?" asked Bastian."No, I'm not. I don't really like Mini Cooper," Renata replied.Bastian scanned the whole room. "How about that one?" Bastian pointed at the car on
Renata was already neat in her purple flower-colored dress, matching the dress used by Ari; both dresses they wore on top were Sabrina-shaped. They looked elegant and beautiful. Bastian wore a formal suit with a suit color matching the color of Renata's dress."Are you ready?" asked Bastian, who was answered with a nod of the head by Renata.They went in threes because Maria and Julian had gone there first to accompany Aline.---It didn't take long before they arrived at the venue for Vincent and Aline's wedding, which was a garden party with an outdoor theme.Bastian approached Lucas and Vincent, who were near the altar. Renata herself said goodbye to go see Aline, who was still in the break room."Excuse me!" Renata exclaimed, knocking on the open door."Sister Renata!" Aline was happy to see her sister-in-law."The bride is so beautiful," Renata praised."Ah, brother. I'm so nervous," Aline exclaimed, squeezing her own hand."I d
Two weeks had passed. Sean, Renata, and Ariana had returned from their vacation, exploring some of the famous cities in Switzerland by riding the panoramic train. They were very satisfied playing and exploring the mountains, the sea, and the many places they visited.And they had to return immediately because Aline was told that she was pregnant and that they would soon have a wedding between Aline and Vincent.Today Bastian had to leave because of a sudden job at the hospital and the Sanders company. Although it has been handled by Vincent, Bastian, as the main president, still has to step in. Julian has completely detached himself from the business world that became his obsession in the past. His relationship with Maria has been getting better, and Julian is not wasting the opportunity to always be with the woman he loves. For years, they lived under the same roof but were like strangers. Now they are trying to repair their flawed relationship.Renata had just finis
They were in the car this time, heading to the village of Kantersteg, where the high slide was located. Ariana fell asleep from exhaustion in the back seat.It didn't take long before they arrived at the slide. Bastian parked the car, and they both climbed down with Ari in Bastian's arms.The slide ride is called Toboggan Run. The shape is similar to a rainwater drain from the roof of the house. But it is used to slide from the top of the hill to the bottom.Bastian, Renata, and Ariana sat on a mini train that could only fit one person. Renata sits on the mini-train in front of Bastian. Bastian with Ariana in his arms; all safety is guaranteed, including for toddlers with parental supervision."Ready... go!"Renata was the first to launch, and her scream was heard. Then Bastian and Ari shouted. Miraculously, the toddler wasn't scared at all when the wind blew hard; he was laughing happily and looking ahead, where Renata was just a few meters away from them.
That morning, Renata was in charge of bathing Ariana. Bastian had just opened the door and received breakfast delivered to the room by the resort's maid. The man placed the breakfast tray on the table in front of the television.Bastian went into the room, and he opened the bathroom door. He could only shake his head when he saw Renata and Ariana playing with water and soap as the foam flew into the air from the jacuzzi."Daddyyy..." they both called."Come and play with the water," said Renata."Breakfast is here, my queen and my princes," said Bastian in a soft tone.Bastian took a small shower and splashed water on the two women, making them laugh. Not remaining silent, Renata and Ariana threw the water in the small pool at Bastian with both hands. They teased each other and splashed water and foam. Now Bastian's clothes were the same as Renata's, completely wet. Ari prances around happily. Water is a toddler's favorite playground.After playing with
