"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
"Mr. Edward, please give us your feedback on the Atlanta Company's property warehouse fire!""Have you gotten clarity on the news?""How are the authorities handling all this!""Is there an element of intent on the part of the enemy regarding this incident?""You must have offended the other side. Please give your response.""Aren't you going to have a wedding tomorrow. What about the news of your secret wife that the media has been asking about.""Yes, will your wedding with Miss Adelle really happen tomorrow. Why isn't there a lavish reception, or a public invitation? Why do you seem to be dragging your feet on this marriage news."Since getting out of the car and walking towards the building, Edward's arrival had been warmly welcomed by the reporters. Perhaps even too warmly for Edward to breathe. Zean and several pairs of security guards stood guard around Edward. Otherwise, the man would not have been able to walk because of the crush of people and strange questions.People start
Diego was silent for a while as he tried to catch his breath as best he could. It felt so tight! Conjectures of all sorts of events came rushing into his mind."How could I have anything to do with Edward's wife? I don't want to be involved. I don't want anything to do with Edward. But... how is this?" Diego thought.Mr. Jimmy was watching Diego's movements. He knew very well that Diego was thinking hard at the moment because Mr. Jimmy had memorized Diego's habits since childhood."Now, the choice is yours, Diego. The opportunity is at hand. Edward's weakness is within your grasp," Mr. Jimmy said. He was trying to influence Diego's mind."No, Uncle. I still don't believe it's possible that Felicia is Edward's wife!" Diego still tried to deny this fact. But it was no use, because this was beyond anyone's control."I don't need to prove anything. Because you, yourself, will be able to prove it later. Right now our main focus is this opportunity. You... can destroy Edward through Felicia
The day Felicia had been waiting for finally arrived. Diego had asked her to rest before the flight. But she had barely slept all night. Planning something is easy. But to carry it out requires courage and strength. Felicia had to be brave and muster the strength to stand up to herself.In the last hours, she was still considering everything. Including the fate that she would live next, especially the fate of the baby in her womb right now. Later, the baby would have to accept the fact that he was born without a father because of the selfishness of his parents."Oh my God, am I really leaving? Should I tell Edward that I'm carrying his child right now?" Felicia asked herself.Soon, a knock on the door roused Felicia from her reverie. She walked slowly, opened the door, and found Diego standing there with a fresh face and a neat suit. He was ready to take her out of town."Wow, looks like you're more ready to go than I am," Felicia said."You're too much. So... are you ready? Can we le
In front of a large mirror, a girl sat straight. Her eyes glistened, her thin lips were as red as blood, and her eyebrows were carved with great care and calculation. A meaningful smile was reflected in the mirror image before her.Adelle felt proud of her current beauty, the long, sexy white dress fitting perfectly on her slender body. Yes... she had to look perfect. After all, today was her wedding day wasn't it."That's enough, you're going to make me look like a clown!" Adelle said, asking the people around her to stop polishing her face with make-up."You may leave now, and let my parents into this room," Adelle ordered.Everyone obeyed the princess. They left the room where Adelle had prepared everything, and let her parents in."Wow, baby. Look at that, you look beautiful and perfect," Mrs. Sergio said to her daughter."I will soon become a member of the Collins Harvey family, the most influential family in the City. That's why I have to look perfect, mom," Adelle replied proud
Felicia thought hard, a pained look on her face. What deals could she make with Diego? Meanwhile, she realized that she was a nobody. Everything she even owned came from the man's family fortune. Okay, maybe there were still a few small things she had from her own hard work. But it still wasn't worth what Edward had given her."I..." Felicia collapsed into a heap. She sat on her knees with tears in her eyes.This was the first time Felicia had shed tears in front of someone. Although Felicia had cried before, she had never shown it in front of others. Today, Felicia, who had always looked strong, resilient and confident, looked so weak in front of Diego.Diego could not bear to see a woman's tears. Besides, he had no intention of cornering Felicia. The man grabbed Felicia's shoulders and suddenly took her in his arms. He closed his eyes and perhaps felt a little guilty for making Felicia cry."I'm sorry, I am. I didn't mean to make you cry," Diego said, trying to calm Felicia down.Fe
Sergio grabbed his wife and daughter's hands simultaneously. Automatically, Adelle and Mrs. Sergio immediately turned to the man with questioning and puzzled looks."What's wrong, Father?" Adelle asked later."We have to go now!" said Mr. Sergio.Mr. Sergio made an eye gesture for his men to immediately protect him and his family. They all understood Mr. Sergio's gesture and began to form a circle around him. Adelle and Mrs. Sergio were even more confused by what was happening."Father, tell me! What's going on? I really don't understand. It's my wedding day, please don't mess things up," Adelle said."Shut up! Don't you understand, it's a trap! We have to get out of here!" replied Sergio firmly.At first, Sergio still hoped that all of this was just a guess. But apparently, fate said otherwise. It all started when Sergio felt something strange about the guests present. Although he felt familiar, he hardly knew the people. Even though he was sure, those who could attend this event wer
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
