Bastian sat pensively on a chair near Renata's gurney. What had happened still astounded him. Bastian has done blood tests on Renata twice, and the results are still the same: positive. His hands were clenched tightly; he was sure Livy gave it to him, but when? Since when was that foreign object in Renata's body? Was it when Tristan tried to harm Renata?
"Eughh..." a low groan woke Bastian from his reverie. He looked at Renata, where her eyelids were moving and slowly opening."Bas?""Rena, are you awake?" exclaimed Bastian as he started to check Renata's body, and everything seemed to be stable. "What are you feeling right now?""Nothing, just a headache," said Renata."You hit your head, but the wound is not too deep," said Bastian, rubbing Renata's bandaged forehead."Thank goodness. Ah, that accident-""Don't remember it again; it will only scare you," said Bastian, which was answered with a nod of the head by Renata."How is Aline?" askedBastian went to the police station to see Julian. He sat there nervously; the door of the room opened, and the old man appeared."Bastian?"Bastian got up from his seat and immediately grabbed Julian's collar, full of emotion."Until when are you going to ruin my life?" He screeched, making Julian look at Bastian confused. Bastian was not okay; his eyes reddened with deep anger."Until when do you keep my people away from me? Do you really want me to live alone and suffer?""Bastian, what happened?" asked Julian."You created that damn drug. I'm not satisfied that it killed so many people; why should my wife?"He raged uncontrollably. Bastian released his grip on Julian's clothes and moved back, the tough man looking very fragile."Give me the antidote; save Renata," Bastian muttered, looking at Julian with a look full of wounds and tears hanging in his eyes."What do you mean, what happened to Renata?""Livy injected F2 liquid into Renata
Bastian drove his car at high speed to the hideout of Livy and her supporters. He drove across town because they were hiding in a neighboring town. His hands gripped the steering wheel so tightly that his knuckles turned white, and his protruding veins were clearly visible.The distance should have taken two hours, but it took Bastian an hour to get there. Without another thought, he stepped on the gas at high speed. The sports car was using additional power in the form of a Bastian pressed the button near his handbrake until his speed doubled, and he smashed through the tall, sturdy gate in front of him. Even the guards in front of the gate were smashed along with the gate.Bastian turned the car's steering wheel as hard as he could until it made a screeching sound from the tires. The man did some drifting and stopped the car. He saw a horde of people come out and launch shots at Bastian's car, which was now speeding blindly across the yard, hitting every person in sight.
Renata opened her eyes, and she looked at her deserted surroundings. "Why is it so quiet?" she muttered. There was no one in the room but herself and a gurney.Renata took her steps out of the room and saw a very large flower garden with various types of flowers and colors. It was cool and beautiful to look at."Where is this? Am I dreaming?" she muttered, looking around.Not far from her position Renata saw Bastian and Ariana, who were playing with happy laughter, not far from her."Bas... Ari..." Renata shouted, running towards them with joy.Before she reached them, suddenly, a large number of people wearing all black clothes and face coverings attacked and killed Bastian and Ariana until they were lying in a pool of blood."Bastian! Ariana! No..."Renata wanted to reach out to them, but the people were now blocking her. There were so many people dressed all in black."Who are you? Go away, you murderers!" she screamed. "Murderers..."Renata was dragged back into the room and throw
Bastian woke up and inhaled the distinctive smell of the hospital. He got up from his sleeping position and looked around. He was in a treatment room. Bastian gradually woke up and winced as he felt the pain in his stomach. His legs also ached. He put on the hospital's patient clothes."Rena," he muttered as he climbed down the gurney, holding on to the infusion stand. The man walked out of the room by pushing the infusion stand."Bas, why did you come out?" asked Vincent. Aline and Lucas were also there."How is Renata?" asked Bastian."She's still conscious," Aline replied."How long has she been under sedation?" asked Bastian."All night," Aline explained with a nervous expression."What?" screeched Bastian, leaving them all behind."What the hell?" muttered Lucas.They chased after Bastian. Outside the room, Regan was talking to Angela."Bastian?" They stood up from their seats. But Bastian ignored them and barged straight into the room where Agneta and Dave were."Bastian, what's
Bastian sat on a chair near Renata's gurney, who was asleep. His sharp gaze watched her with a sad look.'I've never failed at killing people so far. But why? Why do I always fail to protect the people I care about? Am I destined to live alone and only need to kill until I die, without having a bright future?' Bastian thought to himself.He blamed himself. This was all because he was incompetent as a husband and could not protect his wife. Time and time again, Renata got into trouble and was trapped in a threatened state because of it.***Renata was pensive on her gurney. She realized she was not okay. Coupled with what happened to her, she attacked her own family. Renata realized that the shadow fragments were not a dream but a reality. She saw the bandage on Bastian's abdomen as her husband's patient clothes lifted slightly. Even though Renata didn't ask, she knew that what her husband was wearing were the patient's clothes in this hospital. She remembers when
After the incident on the roof of the hospital, Renata increasingly does not remember herself or anyone else. At that time, she seemed to say goodbye to Bastian, saying that there would be no more Renata.Every day, Renata went berserk, hurting people who approached her and really getting into a messy condition. Her body was getting thinner, and dark circles were getting more obvious under her eyes. Renata found it increasingly difficult to fall asleep. She was often given injections to calm her down, but not the usual tranquilizers. But the effect was not obvious at all.That afternoon, Agneta entered Renata's room. Actually, she was forbidden to enter, but a mother's instinct could not be restrained anymore. Agneta walked up to the figure, who was sitting dreamily on the gurney."Rena dear." Hearing the call, the woman turned her head to the source of the sound and looked frightened. Her body quickly responded by moving away from Agneta."It's Mother, child," A
Bastian walked over to Davero and Regan, who were sitting on the waiting chairs. They contemplatively stare into the distance. This was the first time the tough guys looked so fragile."Take Renata to London," Bastian said, making Dave and Regan turn to Bastian."What do you mean, Bastian?" asked Regan, getting up from her seat."It's true what you said. Renata needs expert help there. I've tried, and the results have caused Renata to suffer brain death. There is still hope to save her, even if it's only 10%. Please take her," said Bastian. Letting go of a lover is the hardest thing."You're coming with us, Bastian.""No," Bastian replied, bowing his head. "Being near me, his condition is getting worse. I entrust him to you; please save him."Bastian had tears in his eyes as he said that."Bas-""Regan, I know that I am not responsible. But I will give my life to you if I can replace her. Whatever she needs, I'm willing to give it to her. But
"How is it?" asked Regan when Bastian returned to the hospital. Davero was already there, and he seemed to have heard the news from Regan.They sat on the sofa in Renata's room. And he said what Julian had explained earlier in prison."So you're going to let Julian go?" asked Davero."I will take full responsibility if he deceives me. I have no choice, because this is my chance to save Renata," said Bastian."Carlo Allesandro? That man is known as the most ruthless man in the mafia syndicate. He has illegal businesses in many countries. even beating the Neuro Mafia group, which has become the oldest mafia syndicate in Italy. According to rumors, Carlo is the son of the leader of the Neuro Group Mafia. Because the leadership was given to Carlo's biological brother, Lugga Allesandro, Carlo rebelled by establishing a new mafia syndicate, namely NH, and managed to defeat the Neuro syndicate group."Dave's explanation made the two people in front of him pensive.
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
