"Arghhh!" raged Tristan.
He kept remembering Livy's words. He doesn't want to be used anymore. Tristan got up from his sitting position, walked to the door, and pressed the door knob."Damn the lock. He said he wanted to give me a chance, but instead he locked me in here!" Tristan raged.Tristan walked over to the window and opened all the curtains. He tried to open the windows and doors to get to the balcony. And again, it was locked."This is a trap! He locked me in here on purpose!" exclaimed Tristan, feeling very upset.Tristan took out his pintol that was under his clothes. He shot the padlock that locked the window until it broke. He rushed to open the balcony door. He walked to the balcony and saw several of Bastian's men down there patrolling. Tristan crouched down as one of the men looked up. The room Tristan was in was on the fourth floor. There was no way he could just jump down; that would be suicide.Tristan went back into the room and lookRenata blinked her eyes many times. She opened her eyes slowly as the sunlight pierced into her retinas. She moved her head slowly. Rena winced as she felt the pain in her head."Hi, are you awake?" The warm greeting made Renata look to her right side."Hi," Renata replied, smiling sweetly at her husband."How are you feeling? Is something uncomfortable?" Bastian asked."It's—my head feels heavy and my stomach feels sore," Renata replied."The anesthesia hasn't worn off yet. Get some rest," said Bastian, rubbing Renata's head."Anesthesia? What happened to me, Bas?" asked Renata. She had been rushed to the hospital, but on the way, she had lost consciousness and was only now waking up.Bastian took Renata's hand and kissed it. There was a clear glass bias in the jet-black eyes in front of him."I'm sorry," he murmured.Renata's gaze became even more confused when she saw a single tear dripping from Bastian's eye."Wha..what hap
"Daddy?"Tristan stood opposite Julian at a distance of several meters.Currently, Julian and Tristan were in the field, where the inmates gathered for some activities. They chose to sit in one of the empty sections, away from the crowd."What brought you into the prison? You killed a woman where else?" asked Julian.Tristan smiled sarcastically. "I was almost killed by your Jaguar, but that bitch stopped her, and they put me in jail. Bastian has really turned his back on us, and damn it, I can't fight him at all.""He's not the one who turned away," Julian sighed, causing Tristan to turn to Julian with a glare."Is it true he's your biological son and you gave him all your power and wealth?""Yes, it's true. Unfortunately, he's completely fed up with me," Julian lamented. "Tristan, your brother is innocent. He didn't turn his back on us; he was just looking for the right path. He sided with us back then because he thought we were his family. Unfor
Renata uses a wheelchair to go to Aline's room, accompanied by Bastian. Renata whined that she was bored in her room and wanted to see Aline's condition."Hi Aline.""Renata. Are you okay? I'm sorry to hear the news about your fetus," Aline said.Renata flashed a big smile. "I'm already better. How are you yourself?" asked Renata."I'm better," Aline replied, smiling gently."You guys talk first; Lucas called me," said Bastian as he walked out of the room."By the way, since when did you and Vincent... um, have a relationship?" asked Renata, making a shy smile."It's only been two months," Aline replied."You guys make a good couple. I was really surprised when I heard from Bastian that you and Vincent were in a relationship," Renata chuckled."It's not official yet; we're just close," Aline chuckled."Then make it official. We'll throw a celebration party for your relationship," said Renata excitedly. Aline smiled happily at Renata,
Bastian had just arrived at Renata's room. There, Renata was seen chatting with Agneta. Seeing Bastian's presence there, the three of them both turned their heads. Davero was nowhere to be seen."You're back?" asked Renata, who was answered with a nod of the head by Bastian."Well, you might need some time alone. I'll catch up with you at the coffee shop near the lobby," Agneta said, getting up from her seat and carrying her branded bag.Agneta left the room, where only Bastian and Renata were. Bastian took a step closer to Renata and took a seat on the chair that Agneta had previously sat on, right beside the gurney."Did the funeral go well?" asked Renata."Yes, everything went well," replied Bastian.Renata stroked her husband's jaw, making him look at her."Don't hold it in; just let it all out. I'm ready to listen. Don't hold it in alone," Renata said, making Bastian smile at her.Bastian took Renata's hand in his jaw and grasped it gentl
One week passed. This time Bastian and his men, as well as Regan and the team, went to one of the secret places that was used as a place to produce F2 and disseminate it. Like the address Tristan wrote, they arrived at the place. Initially, Lucas and his men surveyed the place and looked for the right address because what Tristan wrote was incomplete. All the equipment for combat was already in their hands. Five sports cars and one minibus arrived at the place.The location of the building was in a remote town where there were many forests, hills, and mountains around. They had deliberately built the building in such a remote area.In the first car, Bastian sat next to Regan, and in the back seat were Ansel and Roy."Every car that enters the building area must show identification," Ansel said."Lucas had it ready. He stole an ID from one of the vehicles coming out of there," Bastian replied."We'll just wait for the signal. When Lucas gets in, That's when w
Bastian had just arrived at his residence. He walked towards the main room. The man pressed the door knob and pushed it. He walked into the room without making a sound. His wife was seen sleeping on the bed in a sideways position, like a baby.Bastian walked over to Renata, who was sleeping there. He sat on the empty bed. His hand stretched out to tidy up his hair. A smile was etched on his handsome lips. Increasingly, Renata looks more mature and wise. The boy she knew four years ago has now become a wise adult woman. Seeing Renata's actions when her life was last threatened, she still thought of Bastian by asking him not to kill Tristan with his own two hands.Renata knows that Tristan only seeks Bastian's attention and feels excluded by Renata's presence. If Bastian kills him, Tristan will become very hateful toward the brother he admires. And of course, Bastian himself will feel very tormented by regret."You keep thinking about me, even though you are deeply hurt
Bastian had just returned from the hospital. Regan, Angela, and her team had returned to London, as had Agneta and Davero. Feeling that everything was safe, they chose to return to their respective countries. Bastian also started doing his activities as usual.Regarding Livy. Lucas and Vincent are still trying to find her whereabouts."Rena?" Bastian called when he saw his wife sitting on the bed with a sob. The television was on in front of him."You're crying? What happened? Are you sick?" Bastian asked excitedly.Renata turned to Bastian. "Bas... hikz..."Bastian walked over to his wife and took a seat on the side of the bed. "What happened?" asked Bastian, cupping Renata's puffy face."Hikz... not willing..." she sobbed."What's unwilling?" asked Bastian in confusion."That, the main male character died. I'm not willing," sobbed Renata. "Why does it have to be a sad ending, why does he have to die and sacrifice his life for the girl," Rena
After yesterday's incident, Bastian did not return home because Gardin's condition dropped, on the way the boy had a seizure and is still in a coma until now. Renata understands that Bastian didn't come home because he was accompanying Gardin. Last night she saw Maria and Amelia who returned. Amelia was allowed to stay here but temporarily and even then under strict supervision and without holding any communication devices. Amelia was willing, as long as her son could be handled and returned to health.Renata curled her hair which was now starting to lengthen again. She walked over to the two-door refrigerator and looked at the cooking ingredients available there."It looks like a lot has run out," she muttered."Why, dear?" someone asked, making Renata turn to the source of the voice."Oh, Mom, good morning.""Morning dear. Do you want to cook?" asked Maria, who was now walking towards the water station. She gulped down a glass of mineral water."I was
