"Spend a lot of money on a friendly between Germany and the Netherlands!" commanded Dominik to the man on the other side, or rather the voice from the other side of the country.["The Allianz side is already a regular sponsor with considerable funds, so I don't think it's too much?"]"The more people around the world know about our company, the more our shares will rise! The most important thing now is for our shares to rise again to the top three in European securities trading!"["Yes, young master, I will inform the entire board of directors."]"Oliver, how are things at home?"[Oliver] "Eehhmm...Miss Jennifer always comes to the mansion, they are planning to welcome you there. Are you really going back to Germany?"]Dominik flinched, he had no idea what Jennifer was planning for his mommy.["Young master?"]Oliver, a very loyal confidant of Dominik, for matters in Germany. As if to remind his young master for not responding to his answer."Ah yes, I'm going to Germany with my wife,
"Shit! How did it get away!" Jessica pounded on the steering wheel, gripping it tightly as her emotions boiled over."If I can't have Dominik, then no one else can either!" muttered Jessica with an evil grin.Jessica was still seething with frustration, even the message notifications on her phone screen were almost ignored. A second later, she realized it.She grabbed the phone on the dashboard. Dominik's name was clearly displayed there."Huh? Did that guy really call me?" Jessica's eyes widened in delight.Quick and agile, her fingers scrolled through the six-inch flat screen.Dominik: "I'll be there at eight, at the club the last night we met."Her face instantly lit up. Her heart was bursting with excitement. The lithe, black-browed fingers immediately typed back.Jessica: "I will come and dress up beautifully. I miss your warm touch, darling."Dominik: "Don't let me down!"Jessica : "I will never let you down. I'll give you the best service."Jessica was so radiant, her face beam
“I think, soon PT. Samudra Biru will come back to me.”The voice of Adine who was behind Dominik. The man stood staring at the glass wall that showed the cityscape of Jakarta in the morning.“You seem very confident, dear,” said Dominik, who was not looking at Adine's face.“Yes, the progress is quite significant even though it's still not uphill,” replied Adine who began to keep pace with Dominik.Dominik turned his head, looking at Adine with a warm smile. The woman returned Dominik's gaze, as Adine began to blush.“I give you a twenty-five percent share,” Dominik said.“Huh? Why only twenty-five percent? Wasn't your agreement with Rico not notarized!” scolded Adine.“I'll give you all the shares when you're ready,” Dominik replied as he stepped back into his swivel chair.“What? Why are you saying that? I don't want to!” Adine stepped quickly toward Dominik. Standing with a sinister look right in front of the handsome creature who was sitting casually in front of her.“Fifty percent
“Ma'am, get in,” said Willy who was a little worried because there was still a row of cars waiting behind him.Adine gasped slightly as she saw Willy in the car. It didn't take long, she rushed into the car.After entering the car, Adine reached back and ruffled the contents of her bag. While remembering the last time she put her pills.“Where?” muttered Adine softly, of course because she didn't want Willy to hear it.Adine exhaled roughly, as she stopped rummaging through her bag.'What if I get pregnant?' Adine thought as she bit her lower lip.'If I buy anti-pregnancy pills and take them later, it's the same as killing something that started to grow' Adine thought back.Willy occasionally glanced at Adine who had a worried look on her face. Occasionally, Adine even looked away and stared at the road through the side mirror.“Excuse me, ma'am, do you need anything?” asked Willy which made Adine blink her eyes, busy with her own thoughts making her forget about the Baron's existence
There were sturdy footsteps that sounded more like clattering. Searching every corner, she even looked anxious as she could not find the person she was worried about.“Why don't I just go to the kitchen!” Dominik tapped his forehead, feeling like a fool who lost a valuable item.Without thinking, he half ran to the kitchen.“Bambi eyes!” he shouted when he saw a woman sitting on her haunches picking up something.Dominik made a beeline for Adine, crouching down next to his wife.“I told you, if you want to eat we'll order!” Dominik's tone was slightly raised, half disappointed with Adine for not hearing him.“I want to cook for my husband, is that not okay?” Adine looked at Dominik with a frown, disappointed by the man's words that seemed to consider her a rebellious wife.“That's not it, bambi eyes, I see you look a little pale,” Dominik complained.“Huh? Bambi eyes?” asked Adine in astonishment.“You have beautiful round eyes, always sparkling,” replied Dominik in a tone that seemed
“Dominik! I was asking!” Adine looked annoyed as Dominik just smiled lightly while ruffling his hair.“I don't know where your anti-ham pills are,” Dominik finally replied, albeit falsely.“Maybe you ran out and forgot,” Dominik quipped again.“But I'm sure I still have my anti-pregnancy pills,” Adine said as she recalled them.“My safeguards are out, but I don't think there's any need to use them,” said Dominik, which made Adine's eyes round, looking more and more like the eyes of a bambi deer.“But...”“No buts! I think you'd like it better if I didn't wear a harness,” Dominik cut in with a mischievous look at his wife.Adine couldn't interrupt, her body felt weak. Dizziness, that was all she could feel right now.“Dominik, what if there is already something growing in my womb?” asked Adine with a pained face.Dominik looked at Adine with a warm smile. He could see how tense his wife's expression was.“Do you mind keeping my seed there?” asked Dominik, which immediately made Adine c
"I don't know, suddenly my head is spinning."Adine tightly gripped Dominik's hand as he tried to support her. He helped his wife to sit on the sofa."Sir, I will get the wind oil from Belle's place."Dominik nodded, and Arion quickly left his master's study."We need to go to the hospital," Dominik said while rubbing Adine's left hand."There's no need, it might just be exhaustion. It will pass," Adine replied while massaging her temples and closing her eyes."Exhausted? Exhausted because you have to attend to me in bed every night?" asked Dominik with a chuckle."Dominik! That's not funny!" Adine slapped Dominik's arm and glared at him angrily."I'm calling the doctor!" Dominik declared firmly."But I'm fine," Adine protested with a pleading look."No arguing!" Dominik stared at her sternly, stepped towards the desk, and grabbed his phone.Adine just watched him pace back and forth, trying to reach someone on the phone.A serious conversation unfolded between Dominik and the person
Adine was startled when she heard banging on the door. She was nervous and quickly put away all her test pack results. “Adine, are you okay inside?” Dominik's voice was getting louder. “If you don't answer me, I'll break down this bathroom door!” Adine hurriedly put her test pack into the pocket of her dress carefully so as not to be found by Dominik. The banging sound was getting louder, she was getting more nervous, “Dominik, be quiet! I'm fine!” she replied in the bathroom. But Dominik, a stocky man with short hair and eyes that always seemed to be looking for answers, was not satisfied. “If you don't answer me, I'll break down this bathroom door!” His threat grew more serious, his voice rising, sounding frustrated. With a pounding heart, Adine unlocked the door and opened it slightly so that only her head and some of her shoulders were visible. Through the crack in the door, she saw Dominik standing with both hands clenched at his sides, his face showing a mixture of wo
That night, Dominik decided to stay at the villa. Accompany Adine and order Arion and Richie to return to the capital and will pick up Dominik the next day. However, Adine said firmly if Adine wanted to stay at the villa during her pregnancy. Dominik forbade her, however, as Mr. Michael, accompanied by Mrs. Nita, had to go to Singapore for treatment. “We will get married again. Pledge before God and accompany father to Singapore,” Dominik said convincingly. Adine looked at Dominik with a shady look in her eyes. “Dominik, I understand your concern. But believe me, I'll be fine in this villa. I want to enjoy my pregnancy in a quiet and peaceful place.”Dominik let out a long sigh. “But Adine, your father has to undergo intensive care in Singapore. What if something goes wrong when I'm not by your side?”“You don't have to worry, Dominik. Mr. Thomas and Mrs. Melati will accompany and take care of me while you're away,” Adine said reassuringly.Dominik looked doubtful for a moment, but
Adine was busy preparing the porridge that he would give to his father, while Mrs. Nita was almost finished with all the menus for breakfast that morning. Vegetable beef soup, grilled chicken and potato cakes were the side dishes they would eat that morning. Tofu tempeh bacem was also part of their menu.“Bu Nita, the smell of her cooking makes me hungry,” Adine said as she mixed the chicken porridge.Mrs. Nita smiled as she poured all the dishes into plates and bowls. “We'll have breakfast soon, Miss,” she said.“Daddy's porridge is done. I'll help you prepare the food,” Adine replied.Adine quickly brought the vegetable bowl and a plate of potato cakes to the dining table. All the food was ready. Adine then stepped into her father's room to help him get ready for breakfast.While Mrs. Nita was still struggling with some kitchen utensils, she heard the bell ring. She stopped washing the utensils, washed her hands, wiped them on her apron, and then quickly took it off. She walked qui
Traveling for almost two hours, the car Richie was driving arrived in Lembang when the sky was already dark. Although the city lights would never go out at night, it was impossible to reach the villa Adine was staying at that night because the road was dark and surrounded by tea gardens on the slopes of the mountains.“Sir, it would be very risky if we continue our journey tonight. Perhaps, you can stay at the hotel just for tonight. Tomorrow morning we will continue our journey,” suggested Richie who was still circling the city streets.Dominik still looked silent and didn't say anything. His head was still filled with considerations. A moment later, he nodded and accepted Richie's suggestion. “Find a hotel nearby,” he told Richie.The man who was still focused on driving nodded and started looking for one of the inns that they would use to rest for a few hours. After a few minutes, Richie found a hotel that looked comfortable and safe. They immediately pulled up in front of the h
The sky was already dark. Dominik seemed reluctant to move from his black chair in the study. His expression was completely glum. He clutched his smart flat object tightly and stared at it as if he was afraid it would disappear. He didn't even hear the creak of the door opening, his only focus was on the phone screen.“Sir,” Arion called, which didn't take Dominik's gaze off the screen. Arion, the personal assistant, continued to step closer to Dominik who looked completely disoriented.“Mr. Dominik, it's getting late. Aren't you going home and resting?” repeated Arion, which still made Dominik flinch.Dominik let out a long sigh, his voice sounding weak and full of despair. “If I go home, Adine's face will always decorate my head. I can't live without her, Arion. Please, tell Richie to find her soon. She's pregnant with my child. That's what made him leave for fear that I wouldn't accept my future child.”Arion looked at Dominik with concern, understanding how deeply his boss felt.
Dominik hurriedly called Richie to pick her up, and also interrogated the man who had driven Adine back to the penthouse. “Ckck...where's Adine?” muttered Dominik who was sitting next to Richie. The man who was driving beside Dominik gave him a glance, revealing the panicked face of the young master. “Richie, why didn't Adine answer my call earlier. Are you sure you drove Adine to the apartment?” he asked the Richie beside him who was turning the wheel. “I dropped her off in front of the lobby and she walked quickly into the lobby,” Richie replied. Dominik who was listening breathed a sigh of relief, but the look of panic was still on his face.Richie remained focused on the road, but his answer clearly gave Dominik some peace of mind. “But I didn't see Madame go upstairs, young sir. I believe she went into the lobby, but after that I can't be sure,” Richie added, his voice sounding cautious.Dominik squeezed his cell phone, anxiety taking over his mind. “Try calling again. Maybe
Upon arrival at the penthouse, Adine was pacing back and forth on the terrace. Right on the top floor of one of the high-rise buildings in the city of Jakarta. The weather that was not too hot blew a gentle breeze right in the woman's face. Her face looked confused, she didn't know how to tell Dominik that she was pregnant with his child. “I have to go,” she muttered. “He'll be furious if he finds out I'm carrying his flesh and blood.” Adine's tears suddenly fell unbidden, imagining if Dominik would force her to abort the seed that had grown in her womb. Adine shook her head vigorously trying to dismiss all her bad thoughts. “No! I must act immediately.” She ran to the small table there and grabbed her cell phone. Her hands were shaking as she scrolled through the phone. As the dial tone began to sound, Adine was filled with worry. Her only thought was to protect the baby in her womb. Three times the dial tone was heard, the voice of someone on the other side began to sound. [“M
