"If I knew I would lose all of it, I would have let you go from the beginning." Those were the last words Nadine said before collapsing from falling down the stairs. "If you had never been in my life, you wouldn't have lost it all." And the last thing she remembered was the cold face of her husband, who was disgusted to see her. Nadine thought it was the end of her life. And when she opened her eyes hell would await her. "Wait.. Why is it so comfortable in hell? And why is it similar to my room?" When Nadine opened her eyes she didn't feel any pain in her head and she was still wearing her nightdress. The sound of her mobile phone alarm made her startled. And what surprised her most, she found out the date on her phone. She returned three years ago. More precisely, one day before her wedding day with her husband. In disbelief, he circled her house, asking the servant what date it was. But they have the same answer. "God... Must be joking! Ha ha ha... For all day...." She laughed frantically. "If You want me to pay for my sin, choose before I've forced him to marry me." She bit her nail nervously and began to think. "I separated him from his lover once to marry me. Make an innocent man become a cheater and a despicable husband. Kill our unborn baby to get his attention. And end my life in misery. Now I have a second chance. I have to fix everything. Everything.... Maybe he and my unborn baby will forgive me and I won't die young." How can Nadine fix this mess? Can she get her husband's forgiveness? Or will she end up losing everything like before?
View More"Yes father... Yes... I still need to recover."
Her father continuously talked and ranting. She can barely hear what he says. Her body still hurts everywhere but what hurts her most is her loneliness.
Her father's shout made her head spin again.
"Father....."
She tries to make her father stop talking and listen to her. But it doesn't seem to work. The more her father talked, the more the sound 'Bang' echoed in her head.
She can't bear it anymore. She need sleep not some stupid ranting from person who doesn't care about her. She shouted her anger out to her father.
"Father!!!"
Seems this one has worked because her father instantly becomes silent.
"Can we talk about this later? I still need to recover."
Her father remains silent, she looks a little bit glad. For almost two weeks she's been laying in that hard bed. And this is the seventh time her father called her from abroad. From a nice and warm condolence to a crazy shout like a mad old man looking for his pet. Making her pain more miserable.
"Nadine.... Where is your husband?"
Nadine can't answer her father. She became silent. That silent treatment made her father let his anger out again.
"Is he with his mistress again!!!"
Without emotion she just stared at the window beside her. Counting how many leaves that happily fall from the tree, they look like dancing with the wind. So different compared to her condition. Lonely, sad and angry filling her spacious room.
"How dare he not be with you right now!!"
His voice echoed in that silent room along with the 'tik tok' sound from the clock.
"He just lost his daughter!!! How come that jerk is not with you!"
"Son..."
That one word made her father become speechless again.
"Nadine..."
Her father became soft again hearing her crooked voice. His anger suddenly disappeared.
"Are you done, father?"
Nadine doesn't receive any answer.
"You are the same as him. You are not with me right now. You are never with me. You just want to make sure that he won't cause any scandals, right?"
She just ended her call like that. Leaving her worried father without explanation. She saw someone behind her door from the beginning of her call.
"You can come in."
The nurse came to check on her. Nadine's facial expression remains the same.
"Sorry to make you wait. When will I be discharged from here?"
The nurse looked a little bit confused but answered her with a warm smile.
"I just arrived a minute ago. And you can leave this afternoon."
Then she leaves her again with her loneliness. But when someone comes again, she really hopes that her husband will pick her up. But it's impossible, since she's the one who made their baby die.
"Miss... Sir Henry has ordered us to come and pick you up."
In front of her, there were three people, two men and one petite woman. She looks older than Nadine, but his small statue makes her look young.
"Oh, Anna. Are you sure my father has ordered you? Or are you the one who is pitying me?"
Anna doesn't answer anything, she just stands there and waits for Nadine's order.
"Haaah... Okay... Just pack all of my thing and we will leave this afternoon. Do it quietly... I will take a little nap."
Anna sighed and answer her softly.
"Yes, Miss."
She moves everything into Nadine's suitcase. This entire week she is the one who is taking care of Nadine. She is the one who knows the strong and independent Nadine Merrick, crying every night and cursing her foolish decision.
"Sleep well, Nana."
Hearing Anna's soothing voice, she slowly drifted into the dream world. In that world, her warm husband would greet her with a smile every day. But suddenly, everything changes because she is too greedy, and suddenly, her husband leaves her with his mistress.
"What's mine, forever will be mine. Especially you, Adrian!"
She shouted at him and grab a little bottle beside her. She just wanted to threaten him first. That she would abort his baby if he did not come home. But who knows that her madness took over her. So she decided to take so many sleeping pills.
"Mommy don't! Don't you love me!"
In her dream she sees a cute little boy with his round cheek crying, holding her sleeve. But rage still took over her. She didn't care about the little boy who was pleading at her.
"Huh! Love? Your father doesn't love you! Then why would I?"
Now his chubby hand pulled her hand and cried so hard. He pulled her hand to stop Nadine from taking those pills.
"But I do love you mom!"
Nadine pushed the boy so hard that he fell to the ground. Nadine doesn't seem to have any sympathy, she just laughs loudly.
"I don't need your love. I thought if I had you, your father would love me. But it doesn't work that way, child. So I think I will get rid of you!"
That boy ran to Nadine again and prevented her from taking those pills. But everything is late. Nadine took the pills and the boy just said goodbye with his sad face.
"Mom... Goodbye..."
His round cheeks wet because of his tear. His face looked so sad .
"Till we meet again, I will always love you. And daddy will always treasure you."
Suddenly, her world crumbled apart, regret suddenly filling her chest. And desperate for his leaving, she shouts as loudly as she can to call his baby boy.
"NO!!!! DON'T GO!!!!!"
Everything was dark and cold. She can't hear everything and see nothing.
"Miss!!!!"
Somehow she could hear someone calling her.
"Miss!!!!!"
That's Anna's voice, but she can't see anything.
"Nana!!!"
Now Anna calls her with her nickname that her parents usually called her when she was a child.
"Nana wake up!!!"
The last word made her suddenly wake. Anna's cute face was tainted by worries and scares. She grips her arm so strongly until it feels numb. But then she remembered her dream.
Her eyes became cloudy again but this time she was not crying. She takes off Anna's grip and begins to be so determined.
"It's time... Let's go home. I have to settle our account."
Anna steps back and obeys her order. Anna prepares Nadine to change and begin to leave that scary room.
"Okay... Our interview is over. After that we will have a small favour."Nadine seemed a little confused about Ellen's words."We want a romantic dinner photo session. Miss Nadine has also booked it for tonight."Nadine looked very surprised. Because in the past she did not remember holding the photo session."Ah! It must be because of that."Nadine's loud voice, which seemed to remember something, made Ellen and Adrian immediately turn to look at her. When she realized that Adrian and Ellen were giving her a confused look, she gulped and tried to find an excuse. "Ha ha... I seem to have found my problem at work."Nadine did her best to distract the people in the room. "Miss Nadine... You should enjoy your honeymoon and stop thinking about work."Ellen shook her head and gave a little sigh, then turned her head to Adrian."You too... Don't just ignore your wife. And get a great vacation."Adrian smiled a little when she heard Ellen nagging. Seeing her husband smiling because of a w
"Ellen Rogers?"Nadine muttered as she kept remembering who the woman in front of her was. Of course, she had met Ellen before because she was the one who interviewed her in her previous life.But she had a feeling that she had seen her somewhere."I immediately took this job when I found out that the client this time was Adrian."Adrian laughed at Ellen's words. Nadine frowned at Adrian, who looked very familiar with Ellen. While waiting for Ellen's crew to prepare for the interview, she continued to observe Ellen. Feeling observed by Nadine, she turned to Nadine who was still standing not far from them."Aah sorry for my impoliteness. Adrian was a classmate from the same club in college."Ellen looked nervous then tucked her bangs behind her ear."Oh it's okay... You guys can continue."Nadine gave both of them the best smile. And immediately went to the crew who were arranging chairs in her living room.Once again she glanced at Ellen, who now had her back facing her. Again she tuc
"Did you have fun there?"Nadine laughed at Anna's question."Ha ha ha... I'm working here, Ann."Anna chuckled in disbelief."Tsk.... It's good that Miss Nadine is enjoying her vacation."Nadine smiled again."Miss Nadine.... I have arrived at the hospital but I haven't seen Mr. Benjamin yet. Can you help me contact him?"Nadine slapped her forehead, realizing her stupidity. "Ugh... How can I forget that important thing?"She forgot to give Anna Benjamin's phone number."Wait, I'll ask Adrian."Without closing her cellphone, she rushed to meet Adrian who was in his room. She waited a moment on front of his door but Adrian's door opened from the inside just as Nadine wanted to knock on his door."Oops...."Nadine was surprised because Adrian came out with the phone still in his ear. He was a little confused when he saw Nadine at his door with a cell phone in her hand."Benjamin.""Anna."They almost said the two names at the same time."You're calling Anna?"Nadine nodded at Adrian's
"Huh?"She rubbed her eyes as she opened them."Hmmm...."Feeling something warm in her arms, Nadine prepared to go back to sleep. But when she realized she was hugging something weird, she immediately touched it."Hah!"Nadine, who was shocked, immediately opened her eyes and threw those hands in her arms."You've made my hand like a hugging pillow all night without wanting to let it go. And when you're bored you just throw it down."Nadine immediately sat up and carefully looked to the side."Hah!"Hearing Nadine shout loudly, Adrian immediately covered his ears in annoyance."How did you get here?"Nadine then shifted away from Adrian who was massaging his hand."Haaaah.... Looks like you had another nightmare last night. I just wanted to tell you to move to your room."Adrian paused for a moment to tidy up his wrinkled sleeves because Nadine didn't want to take them off at all last night."Then suddenly you grabbed my hand and didn't want to let go all night. What were you dreamin
"I hope so."Adrian immediately raised his head and was surprised to hear Nadine."Joking Adrian..... I'm just joking...."This time Adrian didn't want to say anything and glared at Nadine, who was ready to leave. Although she said it was joking, her bitter face said the other way."You don't look like you were joking Na..."Before Adrian couldn't finish his words, Nadine stood up from her chair."I'm done. I will continue my work. Enjoy your holiday."Adrian looked at Nadine's plate, which was barely even touched."Her plate is still full of food."Adrian was still a little bit worried about Nadine's joke. He never saw Nadine look so vulnerable even though usually she looked like she didn't have any fear at all."What a strange rich lady."That day Nadine spent her time mostly in her room. She just went out to get some food and she took it back to the room. She seems to have locked herself in her room to get busy to ignore her nightmare.It's pretty contradictory to her past life. Whi
"Nadine!!! Wake up!!!"Nadine woke up to Adrian's loud voice. She doesn't seem to be fully aware yet. Tears were still streaming down from her cheeks. Her gaze on Adrian was full of hope and, without thinking, she immediately hugged Adrian tightly and cried loudly while constantly apologizing to him and her "baby"."I'm sorry Adrian.... I'm sorry my son... Really, your mother is really sorry."The words kept repeating until Adrian was confused. He wanted to free himself from Nadine's arms but when he saw Nadine's body shaking from crying so hard, he finally let it go.This strong woman, who doesn't seem to know the word surrender and is able to do anything to get her wish, looks so weak and broken in front of Adrian."Nadine?"Nadine was still sobbing."Nadine? I really don't know what you're talking about."The sound of her crying had subsided a little and Nadine was a little surprised. Her eyes widened in shock when she realized that she had hugged Adrian. Her shock seemed to have m
"Ehmm... This is just a business trip Jim... Let's go. We have a long way to go."Jim looked confused and looked at Adrian for an explanation."Just do as she asks Jim."Jim was getting more and more confused."When your discussion is over? We should leave now."Hear Nadine's words from the car window. Jim and Adrian immediately rushed to leave."Jim, please leave the car at the villa later. I already ordered a taxi for you to come back."Adrian and Jim, who were in the front seat, were shocked and looked at each other."Let Adrian use the car. You can pick me up using another car."Nadine, who is still busy working on her laptop, ignores Adrian and Jim's confused faces."I can take a taxi. I don't need your car.""Just think that you borrowed it. You can use it however you want. Wouldn't that be very efficient?"Without looking at Adrian, Nadine answered casually."I don't need your..."Nadine quickly cut off Adrian's words."I'll lend it to Marie if you don't want to. So that you ca
Nadine waited for Adrian to have breakfast that morning before leaving for the villa she had rented.But still she did not expect Adrian to have breakfast with her, because in the past he rarely wanted to have breakfast with her.She had almost finished half of her breakfast. And she checked the laptop again that was beside her."You seem very busy.""Hmmm.... I have to finish some work so I have time to check something..."Her words were cut off when she found out who she was talking to. She looked at the man in front of her who was full of questions."Adrian.... Good morning."She tried to smile as warmly as possible to greet Adrian."What are you doing here?"Adrian was a little annoyed by Nadine's question. Twice she asked Adrian about it."You don't seem to like having breakfast with me. I'd better have breakfast somewhere else."Adrian was about to leave but Nadine immediately stopped him."Wait... Wait... I'd rather have breakfast together..."Adrian sat back down and got ready
"Are you sure that's the only reason?"Nadine, who seemed annoyed because she was asked so many times."Adi.... You should have breakfast first because the food will get cold soon."Nadine's maid laughed at Adrian's nickname. Embarrassed by Nadine's maid, Adrian tried to answer casually."You know, I seemed suspicious of your kindness."Nadine chuckled at Adrian's words."Please prepare three lunch boxes. One for breakfast and two for lunch."Nadine's two maids looked at each other in confusion. Knowing that the maid was confused, Nadine then explained what she meant."That's for Adrian...."Hearing her talk about the lunch. Adrian, who had just spooned his breakfast, choked."Ugh..."Nadine, who looked a little worried, suddenly stopped her breakfast and turned her attention to her husband."Are you okay?"Adrian immediately drank and nodded. Their maids giggled again at Adrian's behavior. And tried their best to answer Nadine's request without bursting in to laugh."Ehem... Okey Mis
