Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56"Come on, Barra. I'm just kidding," Mike chuckled, looking very happy.
His attempt this time to see Barra's anger was successful. Without even caring about the people around him, Barra laid down his ex's tiny body carefully.
"Quickly send your female assistant to change her clothes," the cold man said in a low voice.
"Get a doctor for her too," Barra said, continuing her conversation.
While waiting for Serena to be attended to by the doctor, Barra and Mike chose to sit on the balcony. Both of them were still silent while being preoccupied with their respective cigarettes.
"Hah, I thought you were going to ask me to thwart weapons smuggling or alcoholic beverages as usual. That's lame," Mike teased, smiling wryly at Barra.

I always say no when I want to meet.”“Yes, you helped me last night. "That bastard Robert almost attacked me," said Serena who immediately pursed her tiny lips.Their conversation was interrupted when a waiter served the menu that had just been ordered.

Barra asked in a mocking tone."Sir, what are you doing?" asked David, who was also surprised by his superior's actions. Before the GM could speak, a cafe manager approached them."Sorry, Sir. What's -""I'll pay for the damages," the man cut in with his piercing gaze. He unceremoniously asked about the damage that had been done and then transferred more than the stated amount. Silence.

Barra, who had almost entered his dream, immediately opened his eyes when he heard the scream of his ex. Boldly, Serena's hands were busy wrestling the luxury car to a stop."Oh, you are stupid. You go to sleep," Barra hissed as she swatted Serena's hand away to stop her efforts that would be in vain."Tell me where we're going!" Serena fixed her gaze on the cold eyes of the man beside her."We're going to the orphanage, but by the northern route. Not by the southern route that has to be crossed like that stupid thing you did. Never mind. You won't understand," moaned the GM who immediately turned his face away. Serena was silent for a moment. As if she was digesting what her ex had just said."Yes, Miss.

Was it you who shouted just now?" asked one of the staff.Serena immediately shook her head quickly, not to mention that the screeching sound was heard again.Without saying anything Serena and the officer immediately went to the source of the sound. They knocked twice on the door, but there was no response from the person inside."I'll break it down, Miss," said the security guard as he took a step towards the door.Serena's nod made the move come to fruition immediately. Both she and the officer were wide-eyed in shock afterward. A man was curled up in one corner of the room. His body was only wrapped in a towel, revea

"You're careless. Don't embarrass the company with your careless behavior," muttered the GM after wiping the noodle soup stains on the former's face. He wanted to cover up his concern because he didn't want to be read by the beautiful Serena. Barra deliberately pointed at a cameraman who was covering their activities as if the stained face could worsen the company's image."Hah, at least I don't have to yell like last night. What happens if your crazy behavior is recorded by him," sneered Serena who immediately ran away by walking towards the place where Mrs. Risa was staying. Barra was unable to counter his ex's crushing attack. So the handsome, dimpled man joined the boys. The morning

Suddenly Serena froze in her place. She remembered when she was still wearing the white and gray uniform. The period that should have been beautiful for teenagers became a frightening specter for her. Her mommy left home and a week later she found out about the news about her syndrome."Ami," Serena said without looking at her friend who started to turn to her."I...had some business and had to leave. The report is ready and please give it to me." Without hearing Ami's reply, the girl walked half-run towards the elevator doors. Her chest felt tight because she didn't know what else to say.

Instead of answering Serena's question, the GM put on her scary face again."You haven't done your job properly."Serena wrinkled her forehead, "Didn't I leave it with Ami?" she said defensively."I want you to explain it to me today," said the GM, not wanting to be contradicted. It was useless to argue with a superior like Barra, the girl just kept silent while staring at the road that was starting to split by the car driven by the handsome GM. Neither Serena nor Barra spoke. Both were preoccupied with their own thoughts."Get down, you're not paid to stand still," the GM ordered as their vehicle pulled into the parking lot. Serena clucked

Serena looked so graceful wearing a white kebaya with an elegant design wrapped around her body. Mrs. Adhisty led her down the stairs without letting go of her hand. Nervous. That's what the beautiful girl was feeling. She was seated not far from the man who would soon perform the Ijab Kabul in a matter of minutes. Not unlike Serena, Barra didn't even dare to look at his future wife because he was busy remembering the memorization that the committee of the wedding had said earlier. It was clear that he didn't want to repeat his mistake when he made the sacred vows of marriage later. So the GM of Erlangga Hotel chose to look down."How is it? Is there anything else you want to wait for?" asked Mr. Committee of the wedding. Both sides of the bride and groom agreed to start the marriage contract process. Since there was no family from Daddy's side left, a guardian from the government was appointed to mediate. It took a while b

Short, concise, and clear. That's what Tita said just now. Tora's wife, who was originally rude and selfish, took Serena's hand and led her to touch her slightly bulging belly. "Let's raise this child together, Serena." Serena still didn't move. Her eyes were teary because she didn't know what to say in response to her future sister-in-law's request."You want to, right? This child will have two mothers and fathers. He'll be so happy," Tita murmured."I-yes, Sis," Rena finally replied. Then the two hugged each other to channel their feelings of love between women. Not long after, Barra came to separate them."Hurry up, sweetheart. You'll be late," Barra whispered later.Serena nodded slowly. Her smile was perfect as she descended the escalator that facilitated her steps toward the airline gate. Mrs. Adhisty gently rubbed her arm to give her peace of mind.***["Look here, you can play baseball too!"] Barra now confidently swung his a

"I trust you with everything.""No, you don't. I want us to take care of it ourselves," Barra broke off, not wanting to hear any argument. "Please, darling!" The puppy eyes and hopeful face of an Adibarra Erlangga made Serena nod while smiling. Inevitably, she moved to unbuckle the seat belt that was still attached to his fiancé's body."Thanks, honey," Barra murmured just as her girl was about to inch back. "Don't want to reply hemm?""No," Serena quickly denied. "We won't get in. Look at Papa standing on the balcony!""Excuses," Barra sneered. Serena seemed to turn off her sense of hearing. She opened the car door immediately. The first sight she saw made her glance lazily. There was Tita, who was sitting in the living room relaxing while enjoying her pregnant milk."Don't mind her. Let's go inside!""No. I'll just go home. It's getting late.""You haven't said goodbye to Papa yet," Barra said, making Serena hesitate. Tita, who saw the

The beautiful green scenery made Serena's smile perfect. The girl carried her fiancé with her left hand, which carried a basket filled with lunch boxes that she had brought from home. The perfume with the scent of citrus blossom that emanated from the body of Barra's fiancé seemed to blend in with nature. It was refreshing and made the feelings it gave a positive impression."Aunt Cintya's daughter is a top therapist for you. The proof is in the therapy," Serena murmured with a smile."Her voice is like a mosquito. It's shrill and annoying. That's why you can't help but obey," said Barra, who was now raising and lowering her right wrist."If it's not like that, I'm sure you will recover for a long time. If we get married, you'll be able to carry me for photo shoots," said Serena while holding back her laughter."You can. You have to," Barra said with a high level of confidence. "Within the next two months, you'll see your brother back to his old self.""And

Already want to be a mother but her behavior hasn't changed at all," snapped Sandra who immediately disappeared from Tita's sight. Her breath was still hunting until she returned to Jason who was still in his original position. She was so annoyed that she grabbed the man's glass and drank the contents until it was empty."Why?" asked Sandra as she saw Jason's sardonic gaze."You took my glass," sneered the man.Sandra blinked quickly. Then look at his glass glass which is still half full. He felt embarrassed. "Sorry. I'll replace your other glass.""No need," Jason snapped immediately. Inevitably he looked at Sandra who looked like she was exhausted. "Have you been scratching?" he asked later. Sandra did not answer, but her eyes glanced sharp

Serena immediately turned her head when she heard a knock from outside. She nodded as if giving a code to the team of makeup artists who had just beautified her appearance."You're beautiful," Jason murmured with a smile. "Daddy would be happy if he were here right now.""Yeah. He'd probably stop this show. Especially if Daddy finds out you're marrying the son of his archenemy."That remark made Jason chuckle. "You're such a smartass. Daddy is like that. He would do anything to make you happy. Even when he found out that you were going out with Barra that time."Serena's eyebrows immediately went up one side. Astonished by Jason's words a few seconds ago. Then her foster brother pulled up a chair so he could talk a little longer. Inevitably his eyes directed Serena to do the same."You are always under Daddy's supervision 1x24 hours. Until the moment you crossed over to the orphanage was the last time he hired a secret bodyguard for you.""Forgot? Once you we

"Don't argue. Or I'll kidnap you right now," Barra muttered with a glint in her eye. "Prepare yourself, darling. The day after tomorrow, our engagement ceremony will be held at the Erlangga Hotel at 7 pm." Afterward, the man gave Serena a brief peck on the cheek and then moved out of the car. Calling Serena's driver before finally waving goodbye with a wink. Having just thrown herself on the bed, the girl was again surprised by a video call from her lover. She smiled perfectly after cleaning up from the event.["Hi, beautiful. What are you doing?"] Serena did not answer. Just showing her row of clean and neat white teeth.["You're cosplaying as a toothpaste commercial, right?"] Suddenly the girl immediately got up from her lying position. Then looked at Barra with a sullen face.["Even if you're angry, you look beautiful. You're still beautiful no matter what."] And there are many more pussycat sentences conveyed by Barra. Se

The main event of the seven-month thanksgiving for Fina's pregnancy was over. The guests were invited to mingle and taste the dishes that had been provided."Congratulations, Fina. I hope you're healthy until the birth," Serena murmured while gently stroking her best friend's bulging belly. There was a feeling of joy mixed with envy that she was harboring. Meanwhile, Fina, who understood very well how the sad face changed, immediately grasped her hand."My child will be your child too. He will call you Mama too, Serena. It's just a matter of conceiving and giving birth. You will also be considered as his mother," Fina said with tears already welling up. The two of them hugged each other tightly. No one spoke until Fina's husband approached them."I'm jealous of you guys. It's like brother and sister."Fina hurriedly wiped her tears, then gently elbowed her husband's arm. "Our son will have two mothers. Right, Hubby?"Fina's husband, who knew how Serena was, n

Instead of answering Serena's question, Barra landed a kiss on his beautiful ex's luscious lips. Making the master shocked beyond belief."You!!"Barra kissed Serena. Suddenly, his beautiful girl's tanned eyes widened perfectly. Her lips parted in an attempt to say something, but unfortunately, her tongue was suddenly paralyzed."I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with you. So let's get married quickly," Barra muttered later. The girl frowned as she changed her sitting position to straight ahead. No longer facing each other with the ex who had always been able to make her heart beat wildly lately. Meanwhile, Mrs. Adhisty, who was about to call her daughter, also stopped her steps at the doorway. Realizing that the two of them were having a serious conversation, she backed off. Barra moved closer, eroding the distance between them. He no longer cared about his clavicle, which was sore due to the movement of his
