Tick... tock... tick... tock. Diego waited for Felicia, tapping on the table and playing with his cell phone. But Felicia didn't come back. Just cleaning up the spilled drinks shouldn't have taken too long.

"Why is Felicia taking so long, what is she doing in the restroom," Diego asked himself.

Not long after, a waitress came rushing up to Diego. She looked panicked and confused.

"Sir, please. The girl who came with you earlier fell in the bathroom and fainted," the waitress said.

"What!" Diego was shocked.

"Aaarkh, shit! Show me where she is!" Diego ordered irritably.

Diego followed the maid to the restroom, where Felicia had fallen. When Diego arrived, the girl was on her back with a slight bleeding wound on her forehead. It looked like Felicia had hit her head.

"Oh my God, Felicia. Oh my God, Felicia, what's wrong with you, get up!" Diego said, putting Felicia's head on his lap.

Diego saw the soap scum on the floor where Felicia had fallen. With just one look, everyone would have g

    After a long time of waiting, a doctor came out of the examination room. Diego, who had been looking down and leaning against the wall of the hospital, was almost oblivious to the presence of the doctor."Excuse me, did you bring the patient in there here," the Doctor asked Diego.Diego raised his head, then hurriedly nodded his head."Yes, that's right, Doctor. I brought him here. How is he now? Is he okay, is he awake now?" Diego immediately attacked the doctor with three questions at once. He wanted to know immediately how Felicia was doing."I need to talk to her husband about her pregnancy. Have you contacted him?" the doctor asked."What, pregnant?" Diego squealed to himself.He was shocked to hear the doctor say that Felicia was pregnant. This was something Diego could never have imagined. But Diego tried to mask his shock well, trying to be as casual as possible."Felicia's pregnant? But how can that be. Isn't Felicia single? She seems to have been fine all this time. And it s

    Diego walked into the room where Felicia was. The girl was lying alone on the bed with a blank look, staring up at the white ceiling. I don't know what was going through Felicia's mind at the moment. Diego was relieved to see that Felicia's eyes had opened."Are you okay?" Diego asked Felicia. He stood right next to her bed."I'm fine, but they're forcing me to use all this weird stuff. I want to go home Diego, please," Felicia complained."I'll take you home later. At least after this IV wears off," Diego replied.Felicia looked away angrily. She hated hospitals and she hated this situation. But then, Felicia turned back to look at Diego."Don't you want to ask me for an explanation?" Felicia asked."I don't want to force you. You must have your own reasons for all the things you keep hidden," Diego replied."The nurse said that my husband had finished the treatment procedure and was waiting for me outside this room. Yes... I wondered a little. Because as I recall, you were the last

    The sound of cries for help could be heard loudly from everyone. An intense fire was consuming a building containing flammable and priceless property. Luckily, there were no small buildings or ordinary houses around the place. Otherwise, the fire would have spread to other buildings and caused even greater losses for the Atlanta Company. It is not yet known exactly what caused the fire.Zean was driving the car with Edward sitting next to him to the scene of the fire. At the same time, several fire trucks and ambulances were overtaking the other drivers. Either Zean or Edward must have guessed where the cars were going.Edward was speechless. Seeing how many fire trucks passed by, it was certain that the building would soon be destroyed.Approaching the scene of the crime, Edward could see the enormous flames in the distance. His eyes widened perfectly. And behind Edward's car, Diego was also driving his vehicle."Wow, it's huge!" Zean squealed.Not to be outdone by his brother, Diego

    "You're all really annoying. Look at those thick clothes and all that useless stuff you're wearing! You have all sorts of safety equipment, but none of you go in there and save the victims!"Zean was busy scolding the people and rescue workers for not acting immediately."The latest information says that there are no guards or employees inside. We've also confirmed that there are no other victims in there!" replied one of the rescue workers."Then what about her husband, huh? You're too busy building your image in front of the reporters to listen to this woman's cries!" said Zean, pointing to a woman who was crying and waiting for her husband's safety.Not long after, two men finally came out of the building. Both of them looked very disheveled, with some burns that looked a little gruesome."Oh my God, that's my husband. He survived!" The crying woman shouted. She pointed at the two men who were walking limply and making a few coughing sounds.Hearing the scream, Zean and the other r

    "No! Father. Don't go, I can help you. I'm not weak, Father please. Save me, no... Father!"A pair of male eyes opened wide. His breathing was irregular, his heart was beating rapidly, his whole body and face were covered with sweat.Diego woke up on a bed in a bright white room. A strong smell of drugs wafted into his nostrils. He looked around in all directions until he finally came to."I must be in the hospital," he said to himself.Hearing himself say the word hospital made him think of someone. A girl who was supposed to be waiting for him to make a promise. A promise that Diego would stay with her all night. And it looked like Diego was going to break that promise."Oh my, Felicia must be alone. She must be waiting for me. I need to get out of here," Diego thought.The man got up and got out of bed. His steps were a little unsteady but to him, he was still fine.Diego was just about to open the exit door, when suddenly the door opened by itself.Edward and Zean were there, behi

    Diego narrowed his eyes, scrutinizing his brother closely. There was a sudden suspicion in the back of his mind."You sound like someone who already knows Felicia," Diego said offhandedly."Yes, I know her. I can't not know her. She's working on a project for the Escape company," Edward said clearly."And I am her husband," Edward added inwardly."I hope you can think it through. Stay away from Felicia, don't make contact with her," Edward ordered."Who are you? How dare you try to control my life? Don't hide behind a sibling relationship. I've long preferred to think of myself as an only child," Diego said.Diego gave Edward a fierce look. Edward stared back at him coldly. After that, Diego just left. Edward couldn't stop him either. Or maybe actually, Edward couldn't. He just didn't want to do it.Zean, who was outside the room, saw Diego leave. He then entered and found Edward standing silently, also leaning on the bed where Diego had been lying.Zean approached Edward and asked, "

    "He's dead, sir," replied a man in front of Mr. Jimmy."Dead?" screeched Mr. Jimmy."Yes, someone found his body in the river at the edge of this town," said the man."Then what about the task I ordered. Did you find anything?" asked Mr. Jimmy again."We didn't find anything. The man was found without identification or anything else. Apparently, Diego knew he was being followed. So he asked someone to eliminate the journalist," the man explained again."Shit! I had planned all this very carefully. But that idiot ruined it!" said Mr. Jimmy in annoyance."And what about the remains of last night's fire? What information did you manage to get!" asked Mr. Jimmy again."Nothing interesting, sir. Just a story that Diego and Edward both entered the building to rescue the trapped victims. And they all survived!"Mr. Jimmy shook his head. The news of Edward and Diego's safety was unpleasant for him. Moreover, it sounded like Edward and Diego might be close again. Close again as brothers."But.

    "I have booked two rooms in the name of Diego Collins Harvey," Diego said to a female hotel receptionist.The woman was a little nervous and dumbfounded. Perhaps she was nervous because before her now stood one of the most desirable prospective husbands in the city.And next to Diego was Felicia, who was waiting for Diego to finalize the booking."Well, of course, Mr. Diego. But... eehm, is it for two rooms?" the Receptionist asked, glancing slightly at Felicia.Diego, realizing this, immediately protested."What are you looking at, huh!" Diego scolded."Eeh, no, sir. I'm sorry. All right, two rooms in the name of Mr. Diego Collins Harvey. Please, they will bring your luggage and escort you," said the lady.Diego looked unhappy and didn't answer anything. Instead, only Felicia smiled and said, "Thank you."Diego and Felicia followed the two men carrying their luggage to the room they had booked. Diego had tried to wear his normal clothes. But somehow, his appearance in every place sti

    Felicia slammed the door and ran out of the car as it stopped in front of the hospital."Felicia, slow down!" Vilia shouted at the woman.But Felicia didn't hear her. She just kept running, running without even looking back. There was only one goal. She had to see for herself how Reynold was doing. Meanwhile, Vilia went to park her car. Felicia arrived at the door of the room where Reynold was according to the instructions Edward had given her. And as soon as Felicia opened the door, everyone immediately looked at her. Inside the room were Edward, Zean, Doctor Alvin and of course Reynold. Reynold was currently sitting on the patient's bed. He smiled happily at the arrival of his mother. "Mom!" Reynold shouted to Felicia. Felicia immediately ran over and hugged Reynold tightly. So tightly that the boy was probably having trouble breathing."Oh my God, Reynold. Are you okay? How are you doing now. Tell me which part hurts?" Felicia immediately bombarded Reynold with all sorts of qu

    Diego and Reynold had reached their destination. It was a large house that had been neglected and was full of fire damage. Reynold got out of the car and followed Diego fearfully. The little boy thought hard."Didn't Uncle Diego say we were going to his and my father's childhood playground. But why did he bring me here?" Reynold muttered to himself.Reynold stopped following Diego. He didn't want to follow any further as the man walked towards the house.Diego then looked back and saw Reynold had stopped walking. He approached the boy and squatted down in front of him."Why are you doing nothing, Rey?" Diego asked."I don't want to go there, Uncle. I want to go home," Reynold said.Diego smiled at Reynold. His two hands now grasped the boy's shoulders and squeezed so hard that the boy winced in pain."Aaarkh it hurts, Uncle. Let go of me!" said Reynold."You want me to let you go, right?" asked Diego.Reynold nodded quickly."Then you'll keep following me, won't you?" said Diego agai

    "You're right! Diego didn't go to the airport!" Zean shrieked. "So where is he now?" asked Edward."Briefly, he's also on the move. But I don't know where he's going," replied Zean. "Then we'll follow where Diego is going. But just in case, tell your men to stay at the airport and keep an eye on the people who are about to board the flight to Paris. We can't let our guard down," Edward ordered."Fine, just leave everything to me. Soon we will find your son," Zean replied.Zean stepped on the gas hard, sending the vehicle speeding through the streets. Armed with Diego's GPS location, they were taken into the hills, far from the city and a bit remote.Along this road, Edward was familiar with the directions and places they passed. All of this seemed to evoke childhood memories that Edward did not want to remember at all.Apparently while driving the car, Zean also noticed Edward's slightly strange demeanor. The man's demeanor was uncharacteristic."Are you okay, Edward?" Zean asked wi

    "I still can't believe you hid something this important from me, Zean!" Edward grumbled at Zean.Zean and Edward were currently on their way to the airport to catch up with Diego and Reynold with Zean at the wheel."I didn't hide it. It's because you're so stupid and insensitive. Don't you realize? Although Reynold is also similar to Diego, he is clearly dominant and more similar to you. When I first met Reynold back then, I already knew he was your son in one look," Zean explained at length. "Forget about bonuses or vacations to private islands. You won't get any of that," Edward retorted."Don't worry, I'll book a ticket to Africa by myself later," Zean joked. Edward rolled his eyes and looked the other way. More precisely out the car window. "But you know... it's still like a dream to me. All of a sudden, I have a child. And that child is a big boy now," Edward said. "Do you want me to hit it to prove it's real or a dream?" Zean asked. The airport was quite far from where Zean

    "What a surprise that the honorable Mr. Edward would contact Diego. I am truly honored," Diego told Edward over his cell phone. "I'm not playing games with you, Diego. Tell me where Reynold is now. I know you're the father, but taking the boy suddenly without his mother's knowledge is not right. You kidnapped your own son!" Edward said to Diego. Zean and Felicia glanced at each other, the contents of the two people's heads were more or less the same. Edward still misunderstood Reynold. And he said that to Diego, so Edward could be considered a fool by that man."Pffft ha ha ha, oooh gosh. You're so funny. I don't know if you're just funny or stupid!" Diego retorted."It seems like until now, you haven't found the truth at all!" Diego added.Edward, who had wanted to focus on his intention to find Reynold, was now curious. What truth was Diego referring to."Stop joking around and tell me what you mean." Edward spoke seriously. "You think I'm joking? No, not at all. You can ask your

    "But after you came back and even brought a child from Diego, I couldn't do anything about my feelings. I want you! My love never went away, I tried to hide it and failed! That's why I'm going to be selfish now to get you back. I'll separate you from Diego and even lock you up from now on if necessary. I also don't care if Reynold is Diego's son. I'll take him too. I will still love him like my own son," Edward continued at length. Wow, this was the longest conversation that had ever come out of Edward's mouth in his entire life. He spoke without stammering or hesitation. It was as smooth as a speech. Felicia was dumbfounded by every word Edward spoke."But, I don't..." "Felicia, do you know where we are right now?" Edward asked when Felicia hadn't finished speaking.Felicia then shook her head. She really didn't know where she was at the moment."We're in the hotel room where we first stayed. Do you remember?" A memory of their past was now spinning in Felicia's mind. She looked a

    "Congratulations on your victory," Zean said as he flirtatiously winked at Edward. "I haven't won yet. Who told you that lie," Edward retorted."You already have everything. What else do you have to be afraid of. Mr. Jimmy's already lost, yeah! And now you just have to continue your business with Felicia that was delayed," Zean explained. "But... I don't know if she'll accept you or hate you later if she wakes up still bound like that," Zean added, pointing at Felicia.Felicia was still unconscious. She was sitting and tied to a chair with her eyes covered with a black cloth. In front of her was a table with unlit romantic candles. And not far beside Felicia was a bed with a bed of red and white roses that formed a word of love so beautifully and in such a way. "Eeehm, no. I think all women like surprises," Edward replied confidently."Now, it's time for you to leave before Felicia wakes up. I don't want you to be the first person she sees when she takes the blindfold off!" protest

    Diego starts telling Felicia all about Mr. Jimmy. He tells Felicia about how Mr. Jimmy will target her because she is a weakness for Edward. Diego also tells Felicia that Reynold is not a secret. Mr. Jimmy knew that Reynold was Edward's son. And Diego also told Felicia all his foul plans with Mr. Jimmy who wanted to destroy Edward.Diego told Felicia almost everything and the dark side of what he had done with Mr. Jimmy so far. Except about Esson. Diego had his own reasons for not telling Felicia about Esson."Wow, this is amazing," Felicia said."I knew you wouldn't believe this. But the truth is, I'm not a good person. And I'm also..." "No, not that part. I've always known that you and Edward had problems!" Felicia interrupted with a hint of emotion.Diego frowned, Felicia's response was hardly what he expected."What do you mean?" said Diego."All those years you were used by Mr. Jimmy to be his puppet. But you didn't realize all that? Mr. Jimmy didn't love you. He just used you.

    "Mr. Edward Collins Harvey officially announces the ownership of the Atlanta Company's assets and shares. As the largest shareholder of a giant company like Atlanta, Edward Collins Harvey will crack down on all forms of fraud and blah blah blah!" Felicia read the latest news about Edward Collins Harvey that had accidentally appeared on the homepage of her social media app."Mr. Edward will also officially announce who his secret wife is, which has always been a public question. The mass media is busy and curious. This news had sunk some time ago. But its appearance now is eagerly awaited. " And Felicia read the news silently. Felicia turned off her cell phone and sighed softly. After a long time, Edward finally appeared in the news again. And this time, the man said that he would reveal the identity of his secret wife from the past. Felicia thought it was completely useless. How could Edward reveal her identity after they were no longer in a relationship. "She's such a bitch!" grum
