“Hurry up!” said Victor who was already sitting in the driver's seat of his metallic blue car. Miya was still frowning at his strange appearance. What Victor said was too much but Desi agreed with him.

A bodyguard swiftly opened the door for Miya. “Thank you,” said Miya who immediately sat down and put on the seat belt.

The bodyguard just nodded slowly and quickly entered another car to accompany Victor's car. Desi was also in the car. The car sped off towards one of Damian's shopping centers. Victor only said they could get out in four hours, but Miya didn't care. Most importantly, today she can feel the free air.

As soon as they arrived, the mall staff immediately opened private shopping access for them. Miya gaped at the sight.

“All this for us?” she asked with a look of awe and disbelief.

Victor nodded casually. “You can take whatever you want. But remember, not too much.”

Miya smiled widely, her eyes sparkling with excitement. “Don't worry. I intend to spend your money in this place.”

“I'm giving you a stern warning, Miya,” Victor said with an annoyed look.

“Oiya?” Miya couldn't care less. “Show me the latest dress model. Do you have the Valencia brand? I like dresses from that brand.”

Miya was a money-sucking machine who wouldn't hesitate to leave a zero balance in other people's accounts.

“That girl is really annoying.” Victor looked annoyed at the many card usage notifications that kept coming. The girl was enthusiastically visiting almost every store, picking up items she liked without hesitation. Victor could only shake his head as he followed behind her.

“Miya,” Victor called with a resigned look. “You realize you've been such a drain on my account?” she quipped.

“This is you offering,” Miya replied casually, holding up the branded bag she'd just picked out. “After all, you have a lot of money. What's wrong with sharing a little? You have nothing to lose because I know this will all be paid for by Damian.”

Victor clenched his fists in annoyance. Miya? Giggles with delight at the sight of an exasperated Victor while Desi tries to hold back her smile. The bodyguard following them, seemed to be struggling with Miya's many paper bags but apparently, the girl was not about to stop shopping.

As they passed by a luxury watch outlet, Miya accidentally saw a familiar figure. Tessa Monroe, her best friend, was with one of their friends from college. “Isn't that... Tessa?” she murmured softly. “What's she doing here?”

Tessa seemed to be mostly silent, just following what her friend was saying.

Seeing that, Miya felt her chest tighten. She missed Tessa, but also felt sad to see her best friend like that. Victor noticed the change in Miya's expression and immediately knew something was wrong.

“What is it again?” asked Victor, trying to act like he didn't know. He couldn't ignore the direction of Miya's gaze on one point-the presence of Tessa, Miya's best friend. Victor knew his students well. Tessa was with Jacquline. They were from different faculties.

“Nothing,” Miya replied listlessly. “Come on, let's go there.”

Victor nodded but asked Desi to come closer. “Desi,” he whispered. “Arrange for them to talk in private.”

Desi nodded and moved quickly.

**

Tessa was absolutely terrified. Being approached by a strapping man, with a fierce look and forceful tone, she almost fainted. Fortunately, she had asked Jacquline to leave her alone. She promised she could solve this problem on her own. Although her friend's gaze was clearly incredulous.

“So... tell me what's up?” asked Tessa as she tightened her grip on her sling bag. She did so to cover her nervousness.

“Come with us, Miss Tessa.”

“I can't do that without knowing what you want.” Tessa said firmly despite her fear.

“Miss Miya wishes to see you,” one of the guards said once it was safe enough.

“Miya?” Tessa was stunned. Part of her didn't want to believe it but the rest of her heart had high hopes, if it was true that the one who wanted to see her was Miya Ashton, her best friend. But... why go through a bodyguard? What was really going on?

“You'd better keep your voice down a bit and we hope you won't waste any time because Miss Miya can't stay in this place for long.”

There was no other choice but to follow the strapping man's directions, right?

“Please,” one of the bodyguards pointed to a room that looked very private. From the moment she entered the restaurant, Tessa was mesmerized by the interior. Adding to her curiosity, it was Miya, her best friend, whom she was about to meet.

“Miya... is in this room?” asked Tessa.

“Yes, Miss Tessa. Miss Miya has been waiting for you since earlier.”

Tessa ventured to slide the door open and to her surprise, she saw Miya sitting there. It really was Miya Ashton, her best friend. “Yes, Lord! Miya!”

Not much different from Tessa, Miya immediately got up from her seat and greeted Tessa. The two of them embraced tightly and before they knew it, they were crying.

“Oh, my gosh. Do I have to see college kid drama like this?” asked Victor sarcastically.

Miya broke their hug and immediately turned to Victor, saying, “If you're jealous, you can do it with Mr. Marcus.”

“Wow, your mouth is getting smart, Miya?”

Tessa gaped. She couldn't believe who she was meeting here. “Mr... Victor. Good afternoon,” she said politely despite her confusion.

“Good afternoon, Miss Monroe. Please take a seat and enjoy your time.”

Tessa still didn't understand what the situation was here.

“Just ignore her,” Miya said. “Come on, have a seat. I'll have the waiter prepare the order. You don't mind sushi, do you?”

“No,” Tessa replied shortly. “But why is Mr. Victor here. No, he's not. Why is he with you?”

Miya snickered. “Do you want to talk about it? When you see me?

Tessa let out a long sigh and it was true what Miya said. “Where have you been? I thought you...” Tessa trailed off, her eyes glazed over. “But thank goodness you're okay.” Tessa watched Miya with an intense gaze as if checking whether she was physically injured or not. “You look much better than the last time we met.”

Miya smiled softly. “I'm fine, Tess. Just... a little business.” She glanced at Desi and the two bodyguards standing near them. “It's a bit complicated to explain. I told you, right?”

Tessa nodded in understanding. There did seem to be something Miya was hiding and Tessa had to respect that. After all, they had just met after a long time, right? Why were they talking about something so complicated? Their conversation was warm, although there was a bit of tension due to the presence of Desi and the bodyguards. However, the mood changed drastically when the food was served.

Miya was eager to enjoy the sushi. Miya suddenly felt nauseous. Her face turned pale, and before she could say anything, she vomited violently. “Get rid of it all!

“Miya!” Tessa panicked, but Desi quickly took charge of the situation.

“What's going on?” she asked with a calm demeanor, but still, the worry was there.

“I don't know. Miya just turned pale and threw up all of a sudden.”

“Is there anything on the menu that she has eaten?”

“Nothing yet. But... it looks like Miya's condition is very worrying.”

Desi nodded immediately. “Get Mr. Victor,” she ordered one of the bodyguards.

It didn't take long for Victor to arrive and immediately approached Miya who was still feeling nauseous. “What happened?” he asked in a worried tone.

“She's vomiting, Mr. Victor,” Desi replied quickly. “But none of the food has entered Miss Miya's body yet.”

Without thinking, Victor picked Miya up and carried her outside. “We're going home. Call Sofia's doctor right now,” he ordered Desi.

Tessa stood transfixed, not understanding what was happening.

“And one of you, escort Miss Tessa home safely.”

**

Victor sat on the edge of Miya's bed. In his hand was a file containing the composition of the food Miya had consumed today. He found nothing unusual but why did Miya vomit so violently at the restaurant earlier?

Currently, Miya was fast asleep. Sofia is still conducting a thorough examination of Miya's weakly lying body.

“What happened to Miya?” asked Victor with great curiosity.

Sofia smiled slightly. She had just finished her examination and came to a surprising conclusion.

“I shouldn't have told you this, Mr. Victor.”

“What do you mean?” Victor was provoked. “Miya is my responsibility in Damian's absence. Whatever happens to her, I have to know about it. Including today.”

“Miss Miya is pregnant,” the doctor said calmly.

Victor froze in place. “What?”

“I'm not leaving the mansion for the morning examination. If the result is truly positive, Miss Miya will have to go to the hospital to find out the details of her pregnancy.”

Victor still couldn't believe what he was hearing.

“I hope you inform Mr. Damian immediately.”

“Oh, of course!” Victor quickly pulled out his cell phone and moved away from Miya's bed. It didn't take long for the line to connect with Damian.

“Do you still have business with the Port?” Victor asked matter-of-factly.

“Nothing, it's just that I'm on my way to the airport. Kayoko asked to be picked up,” Damian replied casually.

“Leave it to me. You should go home now.”

“What's wrong?” asked Damian in a suspicious tone. “What's going on?”

“Miya's pregnant, Damian.”

    The transport truck that was forcibly stopped by Damian's men was already on its way to Catterpillar. Marcus took full responsibility for the delivery of the goods that should have been done by Leonard. This time Damian would not leave it to anyone but Marcus. After all, he was also the one responsible for the running of Catterpillar. So it was fine to add to Marcus' work for this one thing.“Are you crazy?!” cursed Marcus once he knew what Damian wanted. “Damian, come on, you can't do this to me. I might not have a date with someone?” Marcus ruffled his silver-black hair in frustration. Meanwhile, Damian just shrugged his shoulders.“If you insist on me supervising, my share of the total dream pill sales is 5%!

    "What does that mean, sir?" asked Richard in confusion. He had just sat down, sipped a little coffee, still a bit jet lagged because there were many reports that had to be checked. Even at the airport, he was still being chased by assistants and clients who had to decide how their contracts would go forward.It's not a problem for Richard because he's used to such busy activities. But if suddenly asked about Arini and her condition, he's also a bit worried about sorting out the words. Already since his arrival, both his future mother-in-law and father-in-law looked at him with a look that needed a firm answer."I feel that Arini has something to hide and you know it."Richard glanced slightly at Arini who seemed to be nervous. Ah, if it's like this, you can be sure that the girl accidentally talked about what happened in Jakarta. It's not that Richard doesn't want to tell the story. He could have told her everything, then gallantly said, "I saved Arini from danger, sir, ma'am."But th

    “Where am I?” Miya tried to open her eyes but it was difficult. Her head was dizzy and her body felt weak. “What happened to me?” The first thing she felt was warmth around her. Her vision blurred for a moment, but the sound of soft snoring and the puff of breath that touched the hollow of her neck made her squirm. Then her gaze dropped to her stomach, which felt tight. A burly arm wrapped around her stomach which made Miya realize that someone was holding her tightly. Miya recognized the owner of this arm.The longer Miya's consciousness returned. The scent of Damian's perfume, which Miya recognized, smelled even more seductive. Don't ask how Miya's heart beats. It feels ... thrilling. Miya moved slowly just so that the owner of the hand would not wake up immediately. Who knows Miya's movements disturbed her sleep.When Miya turned around, Damian was right in front of her. Hugging her tightly. His eyes were closed indicating that the man was fast asleep. His eye bags were clearly vis

    Since there is nothing else that needs extra attention, it has been handled by a WO who is quite professional and responsive in working, so the two of them don't need to struggle much with the level of stress facing the day before the wedding."But you don't have a problem if the reception is in three months? You don't mind?" asked Arini in their spare time. Tomorrow morning at nine o'clock, the wedding vows will take place. This was Arini's last afternoon before she changed her status.No problem, really, she was enjoying everything. "I should have asked you, dear." he lovingly picked the tip of Arini's nose.

    Arini didn't stop wiping her tears that were still melting. His eyes but looked at his interlocutor with annoyance also his mouth did not stop muttering."Already, dear," Richard said with a chuckle. "It's nothing wrong with me.""What's wrong?" snapped Arini unacceptably. "You know what's wrong. The car entered a rather deep plantation. I also got stitches on my head. Fortunately, I didn't get pinched by the car.""You're talking more and more creepy," said Richard unhappily. "If I'm pinned by the car and can't get out, how can I?""That's it!" screeched Arini who couldn't stand it either. Let it be. The doctors and nurses at the hospital will also warn him. After all, it was the man's own fault for not being careful. But this was not purely Richard's fault or the driver's fault."Never mind," Rusdi mediated what was happening with Arini and Richard.

    Damian sat quietly in the small interrogation room, staring at Tedy who was tied to the chair in front of him. In the corner of the room, Harold stood restlessly, going through a pile of documents and notes.“He won't talk,” Harold muttered, breaking the silence.Damian raised one eyebrow, his expression cold. “Everyone has a soft spot. If he doesn't talk now, I'll make sure he regrets his silence.”Tedy looked up, his face scarred but his smile mocking. “You think I'm afraid of you, Damian? I've survived this far. You won't get anything out of me.”Damian leaned closer, his voice low but threatening. “I don't need your confession, Tedy. I just want to make sure that you have no way out. Harold, prepare the documents for the court martial. I want him processed as soon as possible.”Harold looked at Damian skeptically. “Court martial? Damian, this will attract great attention. Are you sure this is the right move?”Damian nodded firmly. “Leonard can't communicate with Tedy anymore. It's

    Damian stepped into the room with a cold stare. The place was dark, lit only by a few low-hanging chandeliers, creating long shadows on the walls. Harold, the police chief who was Damian's partner, was already waiting there with some of his men. In the corner of the room, Tedy, Leonard's assistant, sat tied to a chair. His face was bruised, but his gaze remained defiant.“What did you find here?” Damian asked Harold matter-of-factly.Harold let out a long breath. “Not much. We only found traces of a small fight. Some of our guards were attacked in a very organized way. Leonard escaped with the help of someone who knows the ins and outs of this place very well.”Damian turned to Tedy. “This guy,” he said, pointing at the bound man. “He must know something. He was Leonard's right-hand man for years.”Marcus, who was standing next to Damian, approached with a tense face. “Let me do the talking first,” he said.

    Rebecca sat in her office with a sharp gaze. In front of her, a man in a neat suit but looking nervous stood up while handing over a thick file. The man, one of Rebecca's confidants, sighed before speaking.“Mrs. Rebecca, this is all the information we managed to gather about the woman living in Mr. Damian's mansion,” he said in a careful tone.Rebecca opened the file and began to read carefully. Inside were photos of Miya walking in the garden with Hera and Kayoko, Miya looking happy while holding her growing belly, even some medical reports from the doctor who handled her pregnancy. Rebecca's face turned red, her eyes widened in anger.“Pregnancy? So this is the reason he's so protective of that woman?” her voice raised, making the man in front of her look down even deeper.“Yes, ma'am. That woman is pregnant. The doctor is Dr. Hana from the specialty clinic downtown,” the man replied in an almost whispered tone.Rebecca slammed the file onto the table. “Damian never told me anythin

    Miya sat on the living room sofa with a worried face. The atmosphere of the mansion had been different since morning. The extra guards Damian had brought in were pacing back and forth with serious looks on their faces. Miya looked at the cup of tea in her hand, not really in the mood to drink it. Kayoko sat beside her, trying to break the ice with funny stories, but Miya's concern was still evident.“Miya, you're thinking too much,” Kayoko said as she thrust a piece of cake at Miya. “Try eating this. If you continue like that, Damian will definitely worry.”Miya let out a long breath. “I just feel like something's not right. All this... the extra security, Damian being more protective than usual, makes me wonder.”Desi, Miya's personal assistant, who was sitting not far from them, finally spoke up. “Mrs. Miya, there's actually something that Mr. Damian is furious about. Someone he was keeping an eye on... escaped from his watch. That's why he's tightened the security in this mansion.

    That morning, the atmosphere at the Sawyer mansion was different. Damian was seen talking to some well-built men who had just arrived in the courtyard. Miya watched from the living room window, sensing something unusual. Kayoko, who was sitting next to her enjoying her morning tea, also glanced out.“What is Damian doing?” Miya asked quietly, more to herself.Kayoko turned her head and smiled slightly. “Maybe he just wants to make sure everything is safe. You know how Damian is.”Miya nodded, but curiosity got the better of her. She decided to wait until Damian came in to ask him directly.Not long after, Damian appeared in the living room. His face looked tense, but he tried to hide it with a small smile when he saw Miya.“What's going on, Damian?” she asked directly.Damian came over and sat next to her. He grasped Miya's hand gently. “Just a precaution. There's nothing for you to worry about.”Miya looked at him skeptically. “But why the extra security? Does this have anything to d

    On the way home from the hospital, Miya looked out the window with a faint smile on her face. Damian, who was driving, gave her a quick glance. He knew it had been a long day for Miya, but that smile gave him peace of mind.“Damian,” Miya called in a soft voice.“Yes?” replied Damian, staying focused on the road ahead.“I want to eat ice cream,” Miya said suddenly.Damian looked over briefly with a raised eyebrow. “Ice cream? Now?”Miya nodded. “Yes. I feel like I need something sweet.”Damian gave a small smile. “Alright. But I don't want any interruptions. Just a moment.” He took out his cell phone and dialed someone's number through the car speaker. Soon, a man's voice answered on the other side.“Yes, Mr. Sawyer?”“I need you to arrange for the ice cream parlor downtown to be temporarily empty. I'll take my wife there in 20 minutes.”“Of course, sir. I'll take care of it right away.”Miya looked at Damian with her mouth slightly open. “You... booked a whole tavern just for us?”Da

    The lunch was awkward at first. The long table on the terrace of Damian's house was adorned with delicious dishes that seemed unable to overcome the stiffness between them. Miya sat next to Damian, feeling nervous about the sight of Kayoko, Damian's sister whom she was meeting for the first time. Meanwhile, Victor sat at the other end of the table, looking relaxed with his thin smile that always managed to break the ice.Kayoko watched Miya intently, trying to guess the girl's character. On the other hand, Miya felt intimidated by Kayoko's presence who looked so confident and charismatic. “So, Miya,” Kayoko started the conversation in a casual tone, ”how does it feel to live in such a big house?”Miya was surprised for a moment, then smiled nervously. “Hmm, it's a little hard to get used to, really. But Damian is very helpful.” She glanced at Damian, who just nodded without saying much.Victor chuckled. “You should know already, Kayoko. Damian isn't good at showing his softer side. Bu
