39. HOW COULD IT BE?
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56Serena was silent for a moment as if guessing who had just shouted at this time of night. Just as she was about to open the door, a knocking sound from outside made her hurry up.
"Sorry, Miss for disturbing you. 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. Yes, she really felt scared at the moment.Meanwhile, in the GM's room, Ami had put down the report that Serena was supposed to give. Obviously Barra was upset and felt angry that the girl left without her permission. Although

Barra stammered for an instant. He couldn't be honest with his ex. Where was his pride? That's what was going through his mind right now. 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, recently a senior artist named Adhisty has been selling well on TV. Have you seen the news?" asked Ami, who was still busy polishing her face with makeup tools.Serena paused chewing her breakfast vegetable salad. Luckily there was little food left in her mouth. She could have choked on her coworker's food."Yesterday the journalists had covered a girl wearing a leather jacket who came out of the room of the senior artist Adhisty, I'm not unfamiliar with the jacket, but it's a pity I couldn't see her face because she ran away when she was chased, they missed the trail maybe," Ami continued. Serena continued her breakfast as if she didn't hear what Ami just said.Realizing there was no response from Serena to her long chat, Ami chuckled in annoyance. The girl moved to wave her palm in front of Serena's face to make sure she wasn't chatting with someone who w
CRUEL TEMPTATION OF MY EX 44. THE LAST PROJECT
"Just turn off the television!" Barra said without looking at his ex who was on the verge of tears. The man deliberately sat behind his desk. He acted as if he didn't see how she was trying to look tough. He didn't know what to do if she cried in front of him. Obviously his defenses would collapse just like when he saw Serena lose her father two months ago. Serena sighed softly. The girl's hands began to move to organize some documents that were scattered on the table of their discussion room earlier."Meet Chef Arnold now. I want what we discussed earlier to be implemented today. Convey the results as soon as possible," said Barra, who briefly glanced at his ex."Yes, Sir," Serena said as she excused herself from his presence.

Both Serena and Tora widened their eyes in shock when they saw Tita on the floor. After a while, Barra's sister-in-law screamed hysterically after feeling the back of her dress which felt wet. Even the lower part of her stomach began to react unusually. Serena who saw the incident immediately grabbed her cell phone while Tora immediately approached Tita."Hubby, our baby," Tita cried as she put her arms around Tora's neck."Calm down, Tita. We're going to the hospital now!" said Tora who was already carrying his wife's body. Meanwhile, Serena, who had just called an ambulance, immediately approached the couple."The ambulance is already in front," reported Serena who was now walking behind Tora."Go away you

The doctor shook his head slowly, "I'm sorry, Sir. We cannot save the fetus in the patient's womb." It was like being struck by lightning after hearing the doctor's statement. Tora sat limply in front of the emergency room without anyone knowing the pain he was experiencing."Are you the husband of Mrs. Tita Arsetya?" asked a nurse who had just left the room. Tora nodded and then he immediately stepped to meet his wife. Without saying anything, Tita immediately burst into tears while touching her stomach which no longer contained the fruit of their love. The couple hugged each other to release the tightness in their hearts."Our child is gone, Honey. I'm no longer pregnant. We lost him," sobbed Tita, who was still shocked by this brief incident."Be patient, dear. Everything has happened. We have to let go. Now I'll accompany you so you can rest," he coaxed after briefly kissing the top of his wife's head. Because the party was still going

Seeing no response from her brother-in-law, Tita did not stop there."Why is it that every man is so easily attracted to her? You like her too, right?" The words just now made Barra glance at Tita. His forehead wrinkled as if she was questioning what the woman who was lying down meant."If I had miscarried, it would have been very easy for that bitch to get close to Tora. The future of our marriage would have been ruined by her presence.""I don't know. Especially since they were so close yesterday. Of course, I didn't accept it. We got into a fight and yes...you even know who won," Tita added. The sister-in-law began to drip clear droplets from both corners of her eyes. She continued to vent her frustration until Barra realized that Serena was the only one to blame for

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

Tora's wife, who felt offended, was about to come forward to attack Sandra, but her steps stopped when she remembered the bitter experience of losing her baby a few months ago."You better focus on pregnancy. 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
