Camilla frowned. "Two months? Wait a minute. Let's do the math. Let's assume the appeal process will run for three months, then if you win you'll get only two months of probation. That means it will take another five months in total?"

"That's about it. So what, Camilla? The process could be longer, or it could be faster. It depends on how the court decides," Kairav responded. "I know. So what about now?" interrupted Kairav. He knew that there was still some resentment left in Camilla's heart for him, especially since she was an unusual type of woman. Her ambition and pride were higher than anything else.

"Now?" Camilla whose chest was rising and falling looked at Kairav in confusion.

"I can understand that our relationship and the reason for it didn't start with anything good let alone love. But... what about now Camilla?" Kairav brought his face closer until it was facing straight and level with the girl's face. "Does love already encompass both of us?"

Camilla was stunned, speechles

    "You are an important person for the company. Whatever case you are involved in is bound to have an impact on the company, and our staff will be the ones affected," said Mr. Adam. "You should know that, Kairav."Kairav of course understood what Mr. Adam meant to him. He knew very well how many thousands of employees and workers made their living working for Armtech Buenos Fire Company. There were hundreds of households or families who made their living through the Buenos Fire Group."Thinking about it, I'm sure there is no more vile human being in this world than me." Kairav leaned his back against the back of the sofa while staring softly. "I know, there are so many people I have sacrificed for the sake of my selfishness and ambition for the company."Mr. Adam was silent this time as he watched Kairav's face. "What you're going through now should be a lesson to you, Kairav." As a good friend, Mr. Adam naturally wanted to make Kairav better and more responsible, because that was his d

    "Don't be like that." Kairav straightened his head and stroked Camilla's hair. "I'm going to spoil you tonight, Baby," Kairav whispered in the girl's ear.Most girls would probably giggle and blush if they heard that, but Camilla was too nonchalant to react similarly. Maybe she was a little excited inside but outwardly, the girl managed to maintain her innocence.The elevator doors opened and they arrived at the second-floor villa house suit. Camilla nonchalantly just went ahead and left Kairav alone as the girl wanted to get cleaned up and lie down."Would you like some hot chocolate?" offered Kairav who headed straight for the kitchen set."If you mind," replied Camilla who left her bag and high shoes on the living room floor. It seemed that the girl was really tired.While walking towards the luxurious and elegant bathroom, with a nonchalant style she unbuttoned her clothes one by one and took off her shirt and skirt on the way to the bathroom.Kairav knew that she looked too tired

    Camilla couldn't help but sigh in relief as the judges announced the outcome of the appeal hearing for the man, Kairav Alejandro.I don't know, maybe she was relieved that the case was finally over. Or maybe she was relieved that Kairav was no longer sentenced to four years in prison.On the other hand, Kairav, who was sitting on the seat next to his legal team's bench, also seemed to be pensive about what he had just heard. "I... was only given two months' probation?" he muttered to himself.In fact, the man was very ready to wear this prisoner's clothes for longer, perhaps more than a year, but Kairav did not expect that the judges could suddenly turn around like this to lighten his sentence.The atmosphere was still very tense until the chief judge rapped the gavel three times. Tuk...tuk...tuk! The appeal hearing ended with a victory on Kairav's side."Wow! Congratulations, sir!" Mr. Laurant immediately stood up while embracing Kairav with a beaming and relieved face. Finally, the

    "Bastian Kairav... died?"A sudden buzzing sound filled the ears of Kairav Alejandro who had just heard the news. He was sure this news must not be true. Bastian must still be fine and the news must be a lie!However, a violent jolt that exploded inside his chest made his gut feeling even worse. His brain was trying to fight against that reality, but his heart aka his gut feeling was telling him otherwise.As if, this time his feeling was stronger than his brain and logic."No. How could that bastard suddenly die." Kairav was babbling silently while the reporters were increasing the number of flashes illuminating his pupils.Camilla was honestly also very shocked, you could say she also experienced the symptoms of shock experienced by Kairav, even worse. All this time the girl had been looking for that man, the man who had shot her to near death but who had also saved her from the airplane bombing that left dozens of people dead including her two best friends."Bastian, why is he... d

    "I can't just wait here!"Camilla got up from her seat after seeing the news report on television about the discovery of the body suspected to be Bastian. An hour ago they had just returned from court after hearing the updated news from the reporters.Neither of them had expected to receive such emotionally-charged news.On the other hand, Kairav was sitting quietly in his chair. He didn't make any comment about his twin. He was still between belief and disbelief. It was impossible for Bastian to just die like that, especially based on the news from forensics that the cause of Bastian's death was suicide by jumping into the sea.That was highly improbable. "Bastian couldn't have committed suicide," Kairav thought, busy with his thoughts. "That guy even asked me for a long time just to get me to help him escape this country. Then, how could that man suddenly kill himself? No way!" the man growled inwardly.Camilla found her cell phone ringing and Mrs. Kate was the one calling. Her moth

    "We don't need to do anything. We'll just watch, just like I did when I found out about the plan to bomb the plane."Camilla who was standing behind the door covered her mouth so as not to let out the slightest sound because if that happened Kairav and Mr. Adam would find out the girl was eavesdropping on their conversation."So it turns out that Kairav already knew the airplane bombing was going to happen, but... he didn't try to stop it at all? Why?!" the girl screamed inwardly.That long-simmering hatred finally came to the surface again. Her hatred for Kairav came rushing back and Camilla was sure she had been fooled by him all along.Camilla was reminded of a moment, where she had wanted to check a document in the top room of Kairav's house, the room where the CCTV monitor was kept and where several cabin cabinets seemed to be locked frequently.At the time, Kairav had held back She to see what kind of documents were in the cabin cupboard. "Is there some big secret inside?" thoug

    [30 minutes ago]Kairav and Mr. Adam were relaxing talking about an event that they had not talked about in a long time. More precisely the events of one year ago. "You're right Mr. Kairav, we don't need to do anything. After all, you had nothing to do with the bombing. Arez has also broken our contract and acted on his own," said Mr. Adam who this time leaned on the nightstand by the glass window.Kairav, who was sitting on the sofa, just nodded. "Anyway, we should go to the forensics department as soon as my friend who works there informs me. I'll definitely recognize the body whether it's Bastian or not," he said, occasionally puffing out smoke from his cigarette.Mr. Adam looked outside, intending to take in the view of the villa's garden and trees. However, the man's eyes immediately recognized a woman who walked out from the villa's terrace to Kairav's car and boarded it. "What? Where is Camilla going?" wondered the 38-year-old man."You mean?" Kairav raised his eyebrows. He onl

    Kairav shook his head slowly, he was sure that this time he would not be able to calm Camilla at all even if the man would later explain a truth that might exonerate her from the conspiracy to bomb the plane last year that killed the entire crew including Camilla's two best friends.The girl was already too disappointed in Kairav because the man had lied to her all this time, or rather pretended not to know, and ignored Camilla's concerns all this time."So my cries, my complaints, even the effects of my trauma that you often see directly in front of your eyes, you ignore. You must have just dismissed my suffering as an afterthought. Or perhaps you're using me as your own entertainment and satisfaction, kairav?!"Camilla pointed at the man's face with her left hand. "You must be laughing to yourself at my tears. You were involved in the bombing! There's nothing I hate more than you, Kairav! I hate you even more than Bastian who shot me to death!""What you should know is, I was not in

    "Camilla, will you marry me?" Kairav knelt down beside Camilla and took out a box containing a diamond ring from under his jacket.Camilla did not expect to be proposed to by the CEO of an arms company like KairavOver the past two years, a man which was so uncommon had caused many twists and turns in her life.Camilla chuckled at him, tears welling up in her eyes but still held back. She turned to face her mother as well, who was now grateful of this scene.With a smile, Mrs Kate nodded, as if to give her permission and let Camilla make her own life choices.Next, with a look of conviction and determination, Camilla nodded and accepted Kairav's proposal, letting him place the beautiful diamond ring on her middle finger.Kairav had no idea how delighted he was tonight, finally, after a long wait, he could propose to Camilla and ask her to get married to him. He was going to make her the happiest girl on the entire universe.****Camilla stepped out of Kairav's car after he opened the d

    "Do I try to take your mom to the Sky Lounge where we usually have dinner?" Kairav asked bitterly.Camilla chuckled and shook her head lightly. "My mom wouldn't want to go to such an expensive place either. She said she wants you to come home."Kairav fixed his tie which was already neat, he was nervous. "All right, if that's what your mom wants." What the hell, he had to comply. "But, what do you mean nowadays?""You wouldn't like my mom to shift her mind abruptly, do you?" Camilla teased."Well, that would be bad." Kairav shrugged."If you're not ready to go from here, maybe you can take your time and arrive over to my house later this evening." Camilla checked her watch and saw that dinner was still eight hours away.Kairav immediately said yes. He didn't mind, a real man should be brave enough to face his future mother-in-law, hopefully.***The man fixed his collar while reflecting slightly in his car window. He was in Camilla's courtyard tonight, waiting for the girl to come out

    Camilla rose from her seat, the girl now feeling very satisfied with what she had just said. Although this conversation was quite short, but there was no reason for Camilla to linger looking at Arez's face, a face that had a gloomy and defeated impression."Bitch, Camilla! You're just going to leave!" Arez yelled, standing up and pounding on the glass partition between them. His eyes were bloodshot, and his heart was pounding.Arez thought this girl would cry emotionally about the sadistic bombing of the plane that killed her two best friends, but in fact Camilla seemed to have ignored her even though Arez's role was that important in Camilla's life.Camilla, who had been standing with her back to Arez, now smiled wryly She cocked her head a little. "What do you think I'll say when I come here to speak with you? Crying and whining to make you take responsibility for their deaths? Well, you won't be able to make up for it. So why else would I talk and look at your ugly face!" she scold

    [San Quentin State Prison]"Are you ready?" asked Kairav as he approached Camilla who was sitting on one of the benches in the waiting lobby of the San Quentin State Prison.The courthouse was not far away, the girl had just returned from court after her lawsuit against David had gone quite well for her. David was sentenced to one year in prison for the sexual assault he had committed on her.However, there was nothing more thrilling for Camilla than meeting Arez, the man who changed her life completely.The girl nodded as she rose from her seat. She put on a confident face. "Can I come in already? Or does Arez not want to see me?" she asked a little doubtfully. It could be that he didn't want to see anyone because he was a prisoner (albeit a temporary one) in this prison."If you suddenly feel the symptoms of your panic attack relapsing, you can code me through the CCTV camera in the meeting room with Arez," Kairav put his arm around Camilla's shoulders and stroked her gently."I'll

    Camilla bit her finger while her eyes glanced several times at her cell phone that was sitting on the table in her room.The girl was waiting for a call from Kairav. This morning, he said he would send the criminal charges against Arez to the high court and asked Camilla to pray that everything would go smoothly.It was now late afternoon, but he had yet to tell her anything about it. How could Camilla not be curious and upset?She was so impatient that she walked back and forth across the table, waiting for Kairav to call her back or at least reply to her message."Let's hope everything goes well," Camilla thought, nibbling on the tip of her thumb again. She looked up at the clock on the wall and it was almost five in the afternoon. "The court office must have closed an hour ago," she thought again."Ah I should just go with Kairav," sighed the girl.But as it was, Kairav had sent Camilla and Mrs. Kate to a residence owned by one of Kairav's close friends and had the empty residence

    “Indeed. Hence, my work with Jordan at this time will be very stressful. However, we are expected to be able to finish all of these mandates and transmit them to the International Court of Justice, Interpol, and, of course, the United States High Court. Of course, first and foremost, I have to ensure that the path and flow of this legal procedure is smooth and flawless."Sure enough, Kairav also had to create a safe path for him to end this struggle. This even included the people involved in every legal and security line."It's really a big risk, Kairav," Camilla chimed in.To be honest the girl felt too selfish, she was using Kairav in her revenge even though she loved the man. However, Camilla was sure, that withdrawing her request and then asking Kairav to stop taking revenge was impossible.They were already so far involved and had even risked their lives because of this piece of conspiracy. Both of them couldn't just stop, they had to end this no matter what. After all, it was for

    That night, Camilla who was accompanied by the bodyguard that Kairav assigned to escort her entered the yard of Kairav's house.The girl got out of the black car, which of course Kairav lent to her, well the man was indeed very totality if he already loved a girl, even his wealth was willing to use as much as possible to protect Camilla."Miss Camilla, approximately what time will you be returning home?" asked the bodyguard who doubled as Camilla's driver.Camilla thought about it. "It looks like I'll be staying here tonight, Argus. So, tonight you're off duty. Tomorrow morning around nine o'clock pick me up, yes," she smiled politely.The bodyguard nodded in understanding of Camilla's words and then the car began to move backwards out of Kairav's yard.Meanwhile, Camilla stepped onto the terrace of the luxurious house and pressed the doorbell. She had tried entering her usual PIN, but it seemed that Kairav had changed the PIN of his house, perhaps it must be for security purposes.Be

    "Arez left the forgiveness note with his mother?"Kairav could not believe what he was hearing. Truly, she never expected to witness something she usually saw in movies.Jordan quickly continued his previous sentence. "Yes, that is indeed her mother, though not her biological mother. She's just an adoptive mother or something."Now Kairav was nodding. He almost imagined a strange conspiracy in his head if that woman was Arez's biological mother. "Well, it would be very strange if it really was his biological mother. It makes sense now that Arez entrusted the record of accomplishments that he used to forgive his sins to someone who was his adoptive mother.""Yes, but his foster mother loved him very much." Jordan opened his small notes and gave a little information that Arez was also an adopted child when the man was five years old, regarding his biological family background before that could not be known. "Judging from Arez's facial features and race, it looks like she is of Scottish

    "Regardless, I just hope that you prioritize your safety, because the company still relies heavily on you. If anything happens to you, the CEO of this company, then the destruction of the company will be inevitable. Remember, we just got back on our feet," said Mr. Adam.Kairav just chuckled casually, he understood the meaning of his secretary, Mr. Adam was very worried about his business with Arez. In fact, if anything happened to Kairav, such as death, then the leadership of this company would immediately fall into Mr. Adam's hands."I promise to be even more careful. Because, it's not just my life that's at risk, I'm sure Arez wouldn't be so weak as to threaten my life. But the lives of Camilla and those closest to me are at stake," Kairav added.The two of them ate lunch together for a few tens of minutes. Since today was Sunday, Mr. Adam excused himself to go back to his house, after picking up his daughter who had lessons on Sunday, he promised to bring her a toy.As for Kairav,
