On the way, the ambulance accelerated and left Ansel's car behind. When it was safe, the driver took another lane opposite the direction of the hospital. The car continued moving in the other direction until it reached a forest area. There, a luxury car was waiting for the ambulance.The ambulance stopped at the roadside. The ambulance driver got out, and the person in the luxury car got out. It was Jacob and Clairy."How is she?""She's unconscious," explained one of them."Is she dead?" asked Clairy."His heart is failing.""Drop the ambulance into the ravine and make the car explode," said Jacob."Jac, we didn't make a deal like that," said Clairy."This is Daddy's order." Clairy fell silent."Do it!""Yes, sir."They set about pushing the ambulance into the side of the ravine. At that moment, the ambulance slid down, rolling over and over again.DuarThe ambulance exploded down there, just as Jacob had hoped."Ha ha ha... Bastian, you're finally dead! ha ha ha..."Jacob was very h
Renata was pensive in her room. She returned to Wiratama's residence that afternoon. He looked around his room, which was even stranger to him. Renata walked to the bedroom window and opened the balcony door. She walked towards the balcony and saw snowflakes falling to the ground. Renata looked at the ring on her ring finger—the wedding ring of her and Bastian. At that time, Bastian forced her to wear the ring."Where are you, Bas?" muttered Renata as tears fell from her eyes. "Can you forgive me?"She was unable to hold back the tears that continued to fall down her cheeks. A small sob escaped her lips until she felt her legs freeze. Renata looked at her bare feet until her white feet looked red."Wear your house slippers, Rena. You'll catch a cold if you don't wear footwear.""Still not wearing house slippers? Look at your feet freezing."Renata remembered Bastian's gentle treatment, which always noticed the smallest things about her. Sitting on the floor, she cried numbly while hug
Renata woke up, the glare from the lamplight piercing into her retinas. She held her head, which felt heavy, and tried to get up."You're awake, girl," Davero said."Father? Bastian can't be dead, can he?" sobs Renata.Davero just smiled and rubbed Renata's head."The search is still on; no matter what, I'll keep looking for him," said Davero."I have to go; I have to find her," Renata said, getting up, and Davero tried to hold her back."No Rena. Entrust everything to me," Dave said."I have to find him myself to make sure he's alive!" sobbed Renata."You're pregnant, Renata."Deg"Wha-what?""You are pregnant. You're three weeks along; you need to take care of your health as well as your foetus."Tears rolled down her cheeks. "I-I'm pregnant?""Yes," Davero replied. "Entrust everything to me. I will continue to search for Bastian's whereabouts."Dave took Renata into his arms. Renata could only cry bitterly. How could she find out the news of this pregnancy after Bastian's departure
Clairy had just entered her apartment in irritation. He threw his bag on the sofa."This is all because of Cristian's incompetence. How could he do such a stupid thing and harm me and Daddy?"Clairy was ruffled at the waist."I even have to hide here and can't travel as I please because the police are watching. It sucks!" she grumbled.The case against her brother Cristian, and now her father, is being investigated by the police. It was really troubling. Clairy didn't know if this was a sign that his family would soon go out of business, as his father was now in big trouble. The supply of narcotics to several countries and the illegal trade in human organs could only make Clairy sigh. He walked to the kitchen and grabbed a drink from the refrigerator. She just took the bottle and drank it.ByurClairy spit out the drink she had just taken and saw a red liquid on the floor."What is this? It's blood! Ahhh!" Clairy threw the bottle until it spilled on the floor. The red liquid filled the
"What happened? Where have you been, Bas? I found the ambulance you were riding in fell into a ravine and exploded."Vincent asked.Bastian recalled the events of a few days ago. He had woken up while in the ambulance. He was still in pain and injured. Bastian kept imagining Renata shooting him with a hateful gaze. Bastian really realised everything. However, a monster who helps human children will still be considered evil and terrible. It's true what Julian said—that he is still so weak. Because his heart still felt indecisive and did not allow him to hurt people, he had to be betrayed and get a painful ending. Actually, Bastian hopes that the shot pierces his heart and he dies right then and there, so it won't be as painful as it is right now.Bastian looks at the ring on his ring finger and takes it off. It was his wedding ring to Renata. Since the beginning of their acquaintance, things have not started off well. It was certain that Renata would always think of him as a monster. Ba
In the morning, Bastian was enjoying his coffee. The broadcasting news about Clairy's death entered the news inside and outside the country. His father and brother were currently conducting an investigation."Is this your doing?" asked Vincent, who had just joined them.Bastian was silent, not wanting to answer."So you're saying that you're going to start moving?" Vincent asked."Yes. I won't let them get a chance to hurt anyone," said Bastian. "I think Regan is starting to move too.""Yes, you're right. I heard they're going to Britain soon. And Renata will be sent to Indonesia; her condition is quite alarming. I heard she was hospitalised," Vincent said."Them starting to go to Britain means they'll start ambushing Darren and Gilberd. The news that Regan and Angela are still alive will soon reach Julian's ears. So I need to make my move before Julian does," said Bastian. "We need to get to Switzerland immediately.""Bas, I told you about Renata.
Renata was quite shocked to see the news about Clairy's death. She didn't expect the haughty and arrogant girl to choose to end her life.Renata took out the cellphone that Bastian gave her. Then she made a voice note there, telling her that her fiancé had passed away."Your fiancé is dead; he ended his life. I think he chose to give up on you. Then I have no more rivals. Can I ask you to make me your only wife? You're not a king, so you don't need a concubine. I beg you not to look for another girl. Can I be the only one?"Renata stopped her voice message and sent it to Bastian's contact. She had been doing this all week and hoped that Bastian would receive all her messages. Tears rolled down her cheeks again. Renata hopes to receive news soon that Bastian is safe.Renata looks at her packed suitcase; she will leave for Indonesia tomorrow. But she is still not calm about leaving London before getting news from Bastian.A knock on the door made
Just as he was getting worried, he heard footsteps approaching him."How does it feel when your life is on the line, brother?" someone said, making Jacob look at the person, and his eyes widened."Babastian?" he squealed.Bastian showed Jacob his grin."What are you doing? Let go of me!" Jacob screeched."I will let you go. But before that, how about we have a chat first?" said Bastian, taking a chair and sitting in front of Jacob with a smirk."Let's reminisce about how many times you tried to harm me, big brother." Bastian crossed his legs haughtily and pressed the word Big Brother there."Bastian, please let me go. We can discuss everything without it being like this. Please," Jacob said with obvious fear."I won't. I warned you from the start not to interfere in my business. But what? You kept meddling in my business, trapped me many times, and almost killed me and Renata. Not just now, but ever since we qualified to become Julian's adopted children, you kept testing my patience b
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
