Dare To Love 73. The News Spread
"Should we tell Daniel or just you, Lea?"Mrs. Anna asked that morning as Lea inexplicably possessed, helped her in the kitchen. The girl woke up with a rumbling stomach from last night's bad meal, so she rushed to the kitchen to find something to fill her stomach.Lea grabbed the potato cakes from the colander where the oil had been drained. Her fingers were slightly overheated, and she dropped them back into the bowl with some annoyance."There...take the one on the serving plate!" Mrs. Anna, who saw the incident, reprimanded her, pointing her finger at the shelf."Ish, why did you even bring it here, Ma? You made Lea's finger blister!""It's your fault for picking up the new one, try it!"Face down, Lea sat on the pantry chair. She could no longer ignore the rumbling of her stomach that demanded to be filled."Don't tell me yet, Mom. I'll tell Lea after the masquerade, okay?" Lea finally answered her mother's earnest question. She wasn't ready to tell right away. At least this excu
Dare To Love 74. The Party is Begin
74. The party beginsOn the other hand, Shane, who was busy organizing the Masked Ball Part 2, prepared several actions to ensure that he would not miss Miss Purple's presence this time.They are starting with preparations to install extra CCTV cameras later on the scene to record every corner of the hall. Also, two additional officers were explicitly prepared to record the attendance book at the beginning of the entry. The officers will ensure that the guests fill in the data as requested.This should make Miss Purple easy to spot. She would probably just be at the entrance waiting for him to arrive. Well, that's all she wants to do, because the most important thing about this event is to meet him and then ask him for an introduction.Oh dear! If her dad knew what she was up to, he'd probably have a heart attack. How could Shane eagerly organize a second session of a masked ball just to find a girl?So Shane didn't even tell his mommy. When Mrs. Kate asked why he rarely came home for
Dare To Love 75. Showdown
75. Showdown "It's okay, sis." Grace replied directly without asking Freddie's opinion."Can I get you a drink?" she asked later."No, no. We'll get it ourselves later, won't we, Tur?"Daniel went to get Lea a drink and returned, holding glasses of ice and ponding with both hands. As Lea had said, she always liked to get ice pong instead of other beverages at parties.Daniel, who was used to being a wine drinker, felt terrible about continuing his habit in front of Lea."Thank you," Lea said and took the glass from Daniel. She stirred the contents of the glass thoughtfully for a moment and then sipped it little by little; this time, she could absorb the contents in the ice, pineapple, grapes, apples, kolang-kaling, and pudding. Unlike when she sat with Mr Bopeng, she could only sip the water through a straw because the mask was so tight that it did not allow her lips to swallow freely unless she wanted to lift it, risking exposing her face completely."Lea?" Shane snapped back. It se
Dare To Love 76. It's You!
76. It's you!Shane's eyes narrowed, and his two thick eyebrows knitted together until they looked very adorable in Lea's eyes. Oh dear! It turns out that this is the feeling of being in love, Lea thought.He was even more handsome than John Statham, who was her idol. Blinding love is true, she thought to herself. She even forgot to maintain her image by retracting her outburst earlier because she was so carried away."I was looking for your news, but Freddie told me you were getting engaged. I also saw you outside with that guy a couple of times." Shane answered slowly as he looked closely into the eyes of the girl in front of him."Well, you've been gone for a while. You never want to call or chat me first," Lea grumbled while pursing her lips."Do I have your number?" Shane replied curtly."Oh my God! You just have to ask Freddie. Don't you guys see each other a lot? It's that simple, Shane!""Well, if it's that easy, why didn't you chat with me first?""Well, because-because I'm a
Dare To Love 77. Strangled
Shane blinked in the darkness. His eyes had just opened, and he was trying to adjust to the pitch black without any light. Where is this? he thought as he gathered light from around him.It was apparent now that he was in an unfurnished room of the house. There was only a chair to which Lea was tied. Yes, Lea was sitting and tying the rope to the wooden chair before her!"Oh my, Lea!" She wanted to go over to the girl but found herself similarly tied to a hard wooden chair that made her bottom and back feel numb."Lea!" she called again. But the girl didn't move. The darkness was still unfriendly. Shane could not see Lea's face; it was bent in sleep or unconscious, and he did not know.Ah, yes, they both passed out, didn't they? Shane remembered the events before waking up and found himself in the dark room.Who had ambushed them earlier? What was their business to ambush them and hold them like this? Shane shouted, causing an echo in the room that immediately woke Lea from sleep or s

78. Prestige "Who are they anyway? Why have we been kidnapped?" Lea, her consciousness fully restored, asked immediately."I don't know. But we'll find out when we get out of here. Let's find out how," Shane replied commandingly. He paced around Leatero's room. We are looking for a tool or something to try to open the locked door from the outside or looking for a crack, a foothold or something else.But it seemed their captors were so professional that they didn't leave any way to escape. Damn it! Shane cursed inwardly.He reached into his pocket and found his car keys and wallet; only his cell phone was missing. Lea's purse was also under Lea's seat. He opened it, but it was evident that the cell phone wasn't there. What was left was Lea's small wallet and makeup bag."That means the kidnapper wasn't looking for our money." Shane muttered in deep thought."Then what was he looking for? I'm not rich enough to ask my parents for a ransom," Lea complained, wondering how someone could k
Dare To Love 79. Experiment
"Oh, so after you found out it was me, you were disappointed again and backed out? Okay, I see," Lea muttered quietly.Something stirred in her heart. She felt a deep pain stinging there again. Ah, Shane was still the Shane she had known before. Rigid, cold and his words were as sharp as swords. Nothing has changed, she thought tiredly.His slumped shoulders and the suddenly different look in his eyes made Shane regret saying that. But it had already happened, and he couldn't return his words. Yes, that's how rigid he is. I don't know how they can be together if both of them maintain their rigidity.There was silence for a few moments, creating a distance that was more than just a few steps in the same room. There were feelings that were hurt, hopes that were disappointed, and feelings of longing that turned out to be one-sided."We always end up like this, don't we?" Lea spoke again. Shane's residence made her realize that she shouldn't expect much from the silent figure in front of
Dare To Love 80. Plan to Escape
80. Escape PlanShane turned to the girl who was scowling behind his back."Duh, sorry..." he said later, realizing that his words were a bit inappropriate for their situation."Tumbenan can apologize? Kesambet, huh?" said Lea with a smile."Oh my God! It's hard to talk to you. I'm as stiff as a block of ice. If I soften, you'll say it's kesambet. What do you want?" Shane shook his head, unable to understand the mindset of a girl who, unfortunately, no matter how complicated, still filled so much space in his heart that it left no room for other girls.For a moment, their eyes met. If only silence could solve it. Lea wanted them both to shut up and understand each other's feelings. After all, every time they argued, the result was always an endless, heated debate."I think it's better if we don't talk to each other," Lea replied sceptically.Shane spontaneously frowned and stared at Lea's two thick eyebrows, which she liked because they seemed to be set in the middle. Lea was unlike o

Dare To Love 88. Love Ever After
"Don't run around, darling. You'll fall."Lea tried to catch up with Gina who was running around in the middle of the yard; although it was a little tricky because of her bulging belly, she still tried to catch up with the princess. Shane, who saw this from inside the house, immediately ran out and approached them in a hurry."Honey, don't bother Mommy," Shane said as he grabbed Gina and carried her in his arms."Dad, how come the others haven't come yet? It's been a long time," Gina said playfully.At only five years old, Gina is already brilliant. Neither Lea nor Shane expected their first daughter to be as talkative as her mother, but as wise as her father."Later, soon the others will come. That's why Gina must be a good girl. Don't be naughty and don't run around, poor mama," Shane continued, pointing at Lea.Lea smiled back as she stroked her growing belly. She was truly thankful that her second pregnancy had not been like her first. Even though it was her second pregnancy, Lea
Dare To Love 87. The Wedding
"Oh my, aunt. Anyway, Lea doesn't want to be dressed up like that, ah. Mom, please tell Aunt Dina. I just want flawless makeup, like Grace usually has. That's my final decision!" Lea said emphatically. She had yet to expect that there would still be complicated problems on the wedding day."But this is a good MUA, you know, Se. As a bride, you can't have flawless makeup makeup, it can be less amazing later. Oh my, Grace. Here, tell your sister!" Mrs. Anna called to her youngest child, who was busy with some bridal accessories for her sister."Sizt Lea, please, no need to protest here and there. Just accept it. It will be good." Grace said, reassuring her sister, who did not like makeup at all. All her life, she only wanted to be made up by Grace, and that, too, with many demands, must be subtle, not be minor, and must be as natural as possible.Lea took a deep breath and let it out harshly. The MUA seemed indifferent and continued preparing all her equipment, which had been thoroughly
Dare To Love 86. Wedding Plans
"So what's the date?" asked Lea on the other end of the line."The 25th," replied Shane, looking at the calendar he was holding.Shane's extended family on his mother's grandmother's side, had many customs and beliefs in the village. They asked for Shane's and Lea's birth dates and then calculated the most appropriate wedding day, which they believed would guarantee the couple's happiness.At first, Shane and Lea laughed it off, but thanks to Mrs. Kate's coercion not to disappoint the elders, they agreed when she said the twenty-fifth of April was their wedding date."That's exactly one month from now, isn't it?" asked Lea. There was both excitement and fear in her voice. Excited because the time was getting closer for her to be side by side with Shane. But she was also afraid because she still had a lot of preparation to do.Lea and Shane agreed not to use a wedding planner because they wanted to care for everything themselves. From choosing the decor for their reception room in the
Dare To Love 85. The Dishes
"Mommy's sick. So I'm out of the office today," Shane told Lea, who immediately became anxious in her office."Duh, what's wrong with Aunty?""Meriang malarindu, wkwkwk. Papa left her with Grandma two days ago. I had to stay there and meet some distant family." Shane explained the chronology."How come Auntie didn't come?""Mom wasn't feeling well before Dad left. That's why she decided to go alone. Eh, Daddy made her even more sick.""Hmm ... then I'll stop by on my way home. What does Aunty usually like to eat? Let me bring it with me."Lea offered. "That's okay. You don't have to bring food. Mommy's the type who doesn't like to eat out anyway. You'd better cook for her here. It'll be more special. Uh, but if you're not tired. I just got off work." Shane replied as he was."Hmm ... never mind. I'll think about it while I'm there. Okay, I'll go to work first. It's already the bell," Lea said, although it wasn't yet. It's still a while. It's just that she hung
Dare To Love 84. The Third Person
After expressing their feelings to each other, Shane and Lea finally stop lying about their feelings. Yes, they are getting married!A chat message that came to Lea's phone that night spontaneously kept her awake all night.It was a poem from Daniel that read beautifully, he said,Dissolved in an increasingly entangling lonelinessWhen your body can no longer be held tightlyDark shadows in the futureAs if the promise of wounds of despair will unfold aloneFor without you, oh idol...Maybe it's good for me to goRelease the weariness that reignsFor there seems to be no place hereWhere no shadow of you is always clearJust a shadow, without a body, without a soul..."Lea squeezed her cell phone, trying to feel the man's heartache on the other side. Then, she could not answer anything. Just an apology with a crying emoticon, which she sent as a form of regret.Amanda had called him earlier in the day and told him that Daniel was planning to go abroad after his time in the city jail t
Dare To Love 83. Threatened
Meanwhile, Lea, who had been grabbed again by the tall, bald man with many tattoos on his arms, tried to escape but could not move at all. He knew that the thug's strength was no match for him."Go after him! Martin's son can't escape!" The heavy baritone voice of the thug blocked Lea's movements by twisting her hands behind her back. His voice was grim and sinister. Lea shuddered at the sound.When she saw Shane running away, she also understood that this was Shane's attempt to survive and that he would surely come back to save her somehow."Ah, shit!" Lea cursed as she was pushed into the black APV and locked from the outside. Meanwhile, the thugs seemed to be helping to chase Shane."What did he say? Martin's son?" Lea thought, alone in the car.Who is Martin? Is that the name of Shane's father? Is that why they were kidnapped? Does it have something to do with Shane's father? There were many questions in Lea's mind, but she couldn't find any answers.She was surprised when a phone
Dare To Love 82. Run Away
All these instructions rang in Lea's ears. The tension was overwhelming, making it difficult for her mind to work. All she could do was nod her head uncertainly.Shane looked at Lea and hissed softly, "Take your shoes off. Hurry up. You can't run fast in those heels!"Lea immediately obeyed Shane and took off her shoes, now standing barefoot. Oh, how strange she must look. A balloon dress underneath with bare feet. Damn it! It was good that the dress was short and allowed her to run fast and unhindered.Then things got out of control again. The sound of footsteps and shoes rubbing on the tiled floor began. Racing against her heart, which seemed pounding, Lea tried to focus her ears. She had to gather her strength in one place, in both hands, which were in a pose ready to swing the chair leg forcefully at the neck of the first person to enter later.One--two--hears the jingle of keys being inserted, then the doorknob is turned, and jeglekk, the door opens. Shane's eyes signalled as if

Lea's brown irises met Shane's bluish irises, which stared at Lea's two thick eyebrows, which, even with makeup, seemed to be connected in the middle."When you wear makeup, don't you have to shave that middle eyebrow?" Shane's index finger stroked the middle of Lea's eyebrow above her nose. There was a fine line of hair that met there. It was very special to him.Mubarak! Lea pushed Shane's body away spontaneously."Okee... your comment ruined the atmosphere! That's annoying! You can't be so insulting about everything I do, huh?" Suddenly angry because, for a moment, she thought Shane was going to say something cute or at least not absurd. But he did!Shane gasped in shock. Even though he made a typical comment, that's a fair question, isn't it? She wondered."What the hell? Why the sudden anger? Who insulted you?" Shane protested, not understanding."Ish! What a block of ice!" Lea swore as she turned to face Shane. She crossed her arms over her che
