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.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
