BBUUGGHHH!
There was a loud crash of someone's fist. The bald man fell hard to the ground, whimpering in pain."My nose is bleeding!" he screamed as he saw thick red liquid oozing from both nostrils."Get that bastard!" the order in the baritone voice was clear and decisive.Dominik looked down to his right. Adine was curled up motionless. Quick as a flash, he lowered his head and rolled over the woman's slender, fragile body.The handsome man looked back at the shadowy little face until his heart sank. Not wanting to linger and get lost in that face, Dominik immediately lifted Adine's body."Sir, what do we do with this man?" Willy asked Dominik."Beat him up! Like he did with this woman!" Dominik ordered."Mercy, sir, don't do that. I'm sorry," the man said as he knelt with his palms together.Dominik looked at the man in disgust. The expression on his face was cold."Willy! Find out the identity of this man!" Dominik ordered. "If you find out where he works, I want him fired tomorrow!""Yes, sir," Willy said as he searched the man."Sir, you can go home with the woman now," Richie told Dominik. "We will take care of everything smoothly, Mr. Jefry and your lawyer will take care of it right away.""Good!" Dominik smiled with satisfaction. "But remember, don't let the man die!"Richie nodded politely. He already understood what had to be done.Then Dominik left the room carrying Adine in his arms. Meanwhile, Willy and Richie still struggle to teach the bald man a lesson for his deviant behaviour.Dominik carried Adine, who had fainted, into the car and sat her down on the seat next to him. It was bitter, Dominik felt.The handsome man saw that Adine's shoulders and upper back were full of bruises and even bleeding from the bald man's leather belt."You'll be fine," Dominik muttered as he started the car.The dark blue Roll Royce Wraith drove through the night capital at 70 km/h. Dominik had nothing on his mind but Adine's current condition.While driving, he turned on his cell phone and called his physician to visit his penthouse immediately.After ending the call to his physician, he looked back at Adine beside him. The shadowy face still adorned the unconscious woman's face.A few moments later, the car had arrived in the basement of the penthouse. Dominik entered through the back door to get to the elevator faster.He didn't care about the stares of the other residents or visitors who saw him then."How's the wife, Doc?" Dominik, leaning against the door, watched everything the doctor did to Adine."I've given her anti-inflammatories and painkillers," the middle-aged, bespectacled doctor replied as he put his tools into his bag."I'll write a prescription for the ointment and medicine this lady should take," the doctor added as he wrote the prescription."The woman fainted, do you think there are no serious injuries on her body?" asked Dominik in a worried tone."You don't have to worry, sir. This lady fainted due to shock and her body is weak from not eating." The doctor's answer made Dominik's eyebrows knit together."Not eating?" muttered Dominik as he rubbed his face roughly."Sir, if no further assistance is required, I can retire," the doctor said as he handed Dominik a prescription paper.Dominik nodded as he took the prescription paper. He then escorted the doctor to the door.Outside the door, Richie and Willy were already standing at attention. They had neatly handled the bald man's business and Amel's, whom Dominik was still compensating."You go to the pharmacy and find the medicine the doctor prescribed!" Dominik ordered Willy. "If one of the medicines is missing, find a better one!" Dominik ordered."Yes, sir," Willy replied.Dominik came back into the room. He climbed onto the same bed as Adine. He lay down halfway beside Adine.Dominik's strong fingers began to caress the beautiful face with its eyes closed."Why are you so adorable when you faint," Dominik murmured.He laughed at himself; being gentle with a woman was unusual, even if it was his ex-girlfriend.Adine's existence gave him a different aura. Dominik was a free spirit who didn't like to be tied down. He lived only to expand his business.With his current power, he could enjoy any woman's body."Why does your body smell so different?" Dominik murmured again as he kissed Adine's slender, yellow-skinned shoulder. "You know, the scent of your body seems to make me drunk."It had been almost an hour since Willy had gone to the pharmacy. Finally, he returned with the medicine as written on a prescription paper."Sorry, sir, I had to wait in line, that's why it took a while," Willy said as he handed over a plastic bag containing medicine and ointment."Thank you," Dominik said as he scooped up the contents of the small plastic bag.After Willy left, Dominik immediately applied the ointment to Adine's shoulder and upper back wounds.When everything was done, Dominik lay down on the same bed as Adine. Right next to her body. They fell asleep together in the embrace of the night.The next day.The beautiful eyelids with long lashes began to open slowly. The high ceiling with its Mediterranean carvings was immediately before her eyes.Adine blinked, then turned her head to the side at the sound of someone breathing softly. The handsome face of Dominik, who was still asleep, was instantly revealed.The woman gasped but wanted to stare at the man's face for a long time. Adine felt her body; a shirt was attached to it. She was sure it wasn't hers.She wanted to get out of bed, but her body felt sick and weak. A small moan escaped her mouth."Lie back down." Dominik's voice made Adine stop. The shaking of the mattress caused by Adine's movement woke Dominik.Adine froze; she feared Dominik would be rude like last night. But she looked at Dominik confusedly because she could be with this man."Where am I?" asked Adine quietly.Dominik did not answer Adine's question right away. He opened his eyes, got up from the bed and stood out."You're safe, you're with me," Dominik replied, reaching for his cell phone. It looked like he wanted to call someone."But last night?" asked Adine angrily.Before Dominik could answer, the doorbell rang loudly. Dominik hurried to the door while Adine stared at the man's back."Eat," Dominik said a few minutes later as he placed a box of food and a glass of water on the bedside table. Adine only looked at him for a moment.She shifted her body slightly to reach the food in the box. It seemed she couldn't hold back the worms in her stomach that rebelled.Chicken gruel with appetizing toppings as he opened the box. The smell of the chicken gruel made him greedy.He quickly shovelled a spoonful of porridge into his mouth. No matter the heat that stung the skin of his lips."AARRGGHHHHH!" Adine suddenly screamed, unaware of what she saw."Just relax, no need to get hysterical."Dominic casually took off all his clothes in front of Adine. Even with his naked body without a single thread, he casually walked into the bathroom inside the room. Even crazier, without closing the door, he enjoyed the water from the shower.Adine did not feel like finishing her breakfast. I don't know; whenever she saw Dominik's muscular and athletic body, she couldn't deny that excitement came over her. Maybe right now, her cheeks were as red as cooked shrimp.The woman turned her face forward to not see Dominik's firm back shining from the shower water. But there was a sense of urgency for her to stare at Dominik as he began to wet his body with soap. He scrubbed his back to release the lather. The scent of soap drifted out and filled the woman's sense of smell. Shyly, she kept looking at Dominik."Why am I imagining things?" muttered Adine as she shook her head and ruffled her hair."Hey! Can you get me a towel?"Dominik's baritone voice s
"Hhhmmpphh..." The large palm closed over Adine's mouth so quickly that the woman was unable to fight back."Why are you screaming?" Dominik, who had suddenly arrived, did not know that Adine was in the bathroom. He immediately removed the hand that was covering her mouth.Adine rustled again, and Dominik gave her the feeling of dying again. The man stood in front of her shirtless. Only the formal pants he had been wearing since he had been in the office remained. It was as if the man was enjoying the beauty of his athletic chest."Ma-ma'sorry, I'm wearing a bath to soak," Adine said shyly, trying to look down to hide her flushed cheeks. "I'm tired of being in this room."Dominik did not answer, just stared at Adine's body from head to toe. The scent of the aromatherapy soap the woman was using began to touch Dominik's nerve endings. Dominik's gaze made Adine even more naughty. She wanted to leave, but her legs would not budge. For some reason, her feet felt glued to the floor in fron
"Miss Adine, how is she? It's been a few weeks since I've seen you," said a woman in her forties with her hair in a ponytail."I'm good, Ms. Nita," Adine replied. "I have some business with my husband. How is your father faring in my absence?""Your father has refused to eat several times and seems more moody than usual. He seems to be expecting you," Mrs. Nita replied.The two women of different ages walked down the hall to the room of a middle-aged man, Adine's biological father, who had been sent to a nursing home by Mellisa - his second wife—Adine's stepmother.The Rumah Singgah Saudara orphanage is a simple one-story building that houses orphaned and abandoned children and the elderly.They reached the end of the corridor. There was a room measuring about 3x2.5 meters. Adine stopped at the open door. She found an older man staring out the window, sitting in a wheelchair."I'll leave you here," Mrs. Nita said, leaving Adine with her father. Adine nodded and looked back at her fath
The first time her feet stepped into the lobby of the building, Adine stared in amazement. The brown colour with wooden ornaments dominated the room called the lobby. Adine followed where Monica went. Even she could not believe it; the interior of the lobby in this building looked nothing like Indonesia.Adine followed Monica, who was heading for the reception desk. She wanted to ask something about the walk-in interview that had started on the twenty-fifth floor of the building."Adine, you can fill out this data collection form first," Monica said as she handed over a sheet of data collection form that was usually filled out when applying for a job. A few minutes later, Adine finished and handed the form back to the receptionist."Just take it now," Monica said. "I'll take you to the interview room."Adine did as Monica said. From the reception desk, they both walked to the right. There were two hallways. The first hallway housed the elevator, while the second hallway was longer as
"Alex, please don't break my contract," pleaded a woman in a cleaning uniform. She leaned her back against the wall."Do you still want to work here?" a man asked, stroking her cheek seductively. "That's easy, as long as you're willing to do whatever I ask."Adine pressed her back against the wall, still afraid to come out, while the sound of the inappropriate conversation was still in her ears. She only dared to come out when the sound of the conversation between the two people outside faded.A few moments later, Adine stepped out of the elevator. She saw Monica, who was busy with her device, sitting on the end sofa across from the reception desk."Monic, I'm sorry you had to wait so long," Adine said, making an apologetic face."I thought you fell asleep in the locker room," Monica said as she exited the sofa.Adine stared in surprise at Monica, who suddenly stopped. I don't know what she saw behind Adine. Adine was standing with her back to someone who was having a conversation. Mo
"Thank you, the representatives of PT Samudra Biru have agreed to meet with us," Rocky said to Dominik, who only nodded slowly and had a flat expression."What about our presentation, are you interested?" Laura asked with a look that was hard to interpret.Arion looked at Dominik, who seemed to have no interest in the presentation or his meeting with the two pairs of PT Samudra Biru representatives in front of him."It seems that Mr. Dominik still has a few things to consider," Arion interrupted as if he had understood that Rocky and Laura had been subtly dismissed."As my personal assistant said, I can't make quick decisions on things like this," Dominic said as he looked at Arion.Arion was not just a personal assistant closest to Dominic's every move. His job could be more than subtly ejecting clients who were naughty or not in order, except for finding women for Dominik's pleasure."I will contact you as soon as Mr. Dominik has decided," Arion said politely.Rocky and Laura looked
"Mr. Alex, let go!" Adine screamed hysterically in the fourth-floor hallway. She had decided to leave early because of the senior's order to punish new students who dared to be late."Don't be a hypocrite, Adine!" Alex tried to push her against the wall.Alex kept trying to kiss Adine's luscious lips. It was a futile attempt. Adine struggled, shaking her head to prevent Alex from doing what she wanted."HELP!"Adine's cry caught in her throat. Her face paled, and her body tensed at the thought of what Alex would do to her. She was being abused!"No one is going to help you, Adine!"Alex's voice sounded frightening in Adine's ears. She wanted to scream, but she knew it would be useless. Alex grabbed Adine's hands even tighter, lifting her and holding her.Adine could no longer hold back her sobs and screams when Alex's head had managed to slip into the recesses of her swan neck.She pushed hard to get Alex out of the way, but her strength wasn't enough. Adine couldn't help herself and
"Is the master the man sitting there? Adine's mind wandered. The woman stared straight ahead, questions piling up in her head."Sir, you called me?" Adine dared to start the conversation. "Did I make a mistake that requires me to meet you in person?""You think your mistake was small?"The baritone voice was enough to startle Adine. She gasped and immediately turned around. The woman's eyes were perfectly rounded, and she took a few steps back.The figure she thought was sitting in front of her stood tall behind her with both hands in her pockets."Dominik-" The man's cold gaze instantly made Adine's body stiffen, so she corrected her words. "I mean Mr. Dominik."Adine looked down; she couldn't stand those sharp eyes. Her head even seemed full of questions about Dominik's attitude, which suddenly turned cold, far from the gentle one she had received.The woman silently cursed herself. She was ashamed of herself; who was standing before her now was a man with the highest position in th
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
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
"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
“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
