"I know. That's why I've been patient. Waiting for you to contact me first, even though I was actually frustrated myself.
"I thought you would take revenge by leaving me for five years before finally coming back," he whispered with a smile on his face.
Flavia moved away from his body and looked at her husband. Gladwin, instead, reached for her waist again and led Flavia to the bed.
"I once left you for five years, and I thought you would make me suffer for that long too," she answered honestly. Flavia smiled, feeling guilty.
"I did intend to do that," she replied casually, which left Gladwin wide-eyed. But then Flavia smirked mischievously. "But turns out, I'm not that strong." She pulled Gladwin's right hand and placed it on her flat stomach. Her left hand pressed the

Morning approached, and the sunlight caused their warm embrace to loosen slightly. Gladwin's hand, still faithfully resting on his wife's stomach, moved slowly in a circular motion, eliciting a groan from Flavia."Morning, honey," Gladwin kissed Flavia's temple. His wife wasn't fully awake yet. Gladwin gently pulled her chin to turn towards him and kissed her lips softly. "Let's get up and shower," he requested, met with a nod from Flavia, her eyes still closed. Gladwin smiled, finding his wife irresistibly adorable, possibly due to the pregnancy.Gladwin pulled his left hand, which served as a pillow, and bent his elbow to use it as head support. Flavia still lay on her back, allowing Gladwin to freely stroke her stomach, which wasn't yet prominently showing but already felt firm."Honey," Flavia caressed Gladwin's jaw softly. Her eyes were now fully open, no longer drowsy."Yes, honey?"&nbs

A two-story European-style house welcomed them. In front of the house with a porch, there was a yard filled with various flowers.

"I will return to Kansas first. When Flavia is allowed to travel long distances, I will come back to pick her up," Gladwin replied."What about that woman? What will you do about her?" Claire asked anxiously."I don't have any plans yet. But one thing's for sure, for the time being, Flavia cannot meet her. I'm afraid she might do something extreme to my wife and our unborn child without our knowledge," Gladwin replied firmly. Claire nodded in agreement, as did the others."What about Mom? Are you going to tell her about Flavia's pregnancy?" Gladwin shook his head, and Flavia tensed."Not yet. Until now, our mother still thinks Flavia is missing. I plan to resign from the hospital and choose to accompany Flavia until she gives birth," Gladwin replied."But why resign?" Flavia looked up at her husband with concern."Let's just say I need peace. I'm sick of constantly seeing that woman at the hospital," Gladwin replied frustratedly."That woman has no shame indeed," Abigail commented. "M

Phoebe lay prone weakly on the bed, sweat streaming down her body. A man pinned her down, his hand still fondling Phoebe's breasts. He leaned in, his mouth whispering softly. "Isn't mine more pleasurable than those other men?" The man's voice was still uneven with breath."Hmm," Phoebe tiredly responded."Your body feels so delicious too, Darling," he whispered again into Phoebe's ear while his hand continued to move upward, squeezing her breasts. "I never feel satisfied touching you.""Deryl, your body is heavy. You make me feel suffocated," Phoebe complained again.The man chuckled, moving his body down beside Phoebe and pulling her back into his embrace. Their heads were close to the foot of the bed, while their legs were at the headboard."Why did it take you so long to contact me again?" The man asked, his hands still moving to touch every part of Phoebe's body. Caressing an

Yes, I engaged in polyandry. I was married to Deryl and had a child with him, but shamelessly, my father married me off to another man. I didn't want to divorce Deryl because he was the only one who accepted me for who I am, listened to my complaints, and loved me unconditionally. And what more could I ask for from my first husband? Even during my marriage, I was tempted and fell slightly in love with him.Until finally, my father-in-law was indicted for corruption, and my first husband was declared bankrupt. I was forced to divorce him. Taking custody of my daughter, and wickedly, my mother asked me to file for divorce, claiming that my husband had committed violence, which he never did in the name of God. My mother did all this because she was tired of my husband's continuous pleas for me to return to him and start over from scratch, and she knew I was almost swayed by him.I truly wanted to die at that moment. But I loved my daughter too

It was impossible for her to change her attitude drastically. Phoebe wasn't a foolish woman; of course, she would suspect even though Gladwin had reasons to be kinder to her.If only she could admit she was lonely because she missed Flavia, then Gladwin made sure the woman would come and be willing to kneel before her.

Often we hear that time passes so quickly for those who enjoy their moments, but it feels slow for those who do not. And that applies to Gladwin. For him, although his beloved wife is not by his side at the moment, time passes quickly because he enjoys every second, minute, hour, day, and week he spends. Serving patients who need his help between the surgeries he usually performs. Completing property design requests that are increasing day by day in his workshop. And he spends his evenings being intimate with his beloved wife even if only via a screen.Miss her? Of course, Gladwin misses his wife very much. If he could—actually he could but Flavia forbids him—Gladwin wants to realize his intention by resigning from the hospital and joining his wife to settle in Turkey. Getting away from all the oddities of problems, living together, and expressing love every chance they get without caring about other people's opinions.

Gladwin, Abigail, Jonas, and the man named Hendrick, along with one more person who introduced himself as Ramon, now stand in the hallway of the hospital, which is starting to empty."As I promised earlier, I didn't cease my surveillance of that doctor until I felt it was sufficient. And earlier, I reported his crimes to the police. They acted promptly, arresting his father caught red-handed selling stolen cars. And the additional charge against him was human trafficking. The evidence is being processed, isn't it, Ramon?" Hendrick got straight to the point. The man named Ramon nodded."We also kept watch on the abortion clinic Hendrick informed us about. After several days of surveillance, the woman named Phoebe indeed didn't show up. But the clinic was still operating under the orders of one of its associates. And we also caught them red-handed when the victim and the perpetrator were conducting a transaction. Meanwhile, the woman named Phoebe vanished." Roni added."And she was just

"Oh my God." Abigail was now panicking too. She looked at the people who were now divided into two groups. The first group was those helping the old man. And the second group was a few meters away from them, which Abigail believed were trying to trap the person who tried to hit Flavia."Help!" Abigail screamed.A car was parked not far from them. Some people were seen carrying the old man's body into the car. And after closing it, they then turned and noticed Abigail and Flavia. Quickly, they helped Flavia. Carrying her and putting her in the front of the car where the old man victim was earlier.Abigail then ran into her car, following the car carrying Flavia and the victim from earlier.

The roar of children's laughter and shouts was so loud it echoed into the outer area outside the orphanage's fence. A woman with dark glasses could be seen gripping the steering wheel so tightly her knuckles turned white. She gazed at the figures she recognized there, laughing happily. As for herself? She was shattered. Finished. She had nothing left in life to boast about anymore.Yes. She was Phoebe.A month had passed since that night. The night when she and her mother left Gladwin's house with all the evidence in hand.Satisfied? Yes, initially she was satisfied and thought all the evidence was gone when she destroyed it by burning. Even then, she immediately contacted her associate at the clinic to shut down the clinic where they had been accumulating their wealth because she was afraid Gladwin would take drastic action and report her to the police.Of course, the man wouldn't just sit still, would he? He would certainly seek revenge on her, especially since she had been ruining

Julie lifted her head, wiping the tears from her face and sniffing loudly before nodding like a child asking for something from their parent."I promise, I swear I won't demand anything from Flavia anymore. It's enough for me if she comes back to you. It's enough for me if she forgives me. I promise not to pressure her to give me grandchildren.""I should have realized that offspring is a gift given by God to us, not solely because of our desires. I was foolish and selfish. I was wrong."Gladwin hugged her mother who still sobbed. "There, there, Ma. Don't cry anymore. If you keep crying, your wrinkles will look even more and your face will look uglier." Gladwin teased her mother while patting her back, which made her mother gently hit her back in response. "I promise I will bring Flavia back. I will make Flavia my only wife, and I will make sure she becomes the most beloved daughter-in-law by her mother-in-law," she said. Julie Hampton just nodded in Gladwin's embrace.The next mornin

Abigail and Gladwin are focused on Julie's condition. The anxiety about something happening to the middle-aged woman causes them to forget and overlook the presence of Phoebe and Penelope. So, without them realizing it, the two women leave with the evidence that Gladwin had given earlier.Gladwin carries her mother to the car and quickly takes her to the nearest hospital. In less than ten minutes, Julie receives first aid. The results of the EKG (Electrocardiogram) show less than optimal results. However, she is not declared to have had a heart attack.Julie Hampton now lies weakly with an oxygen tube under her nose. Her face is pale, and her body is sweating coldly. Even her body temperature is low due to her sudden drop in blood pressure.Gladwin observes the devices attached to her mother's left and right sides. Watching the graphs and numbers appear on the screen. And she is thankful; her mother is still within what is considered non-alarming limits.Abigail, waiting outside the V

"I'm not unwilling to reveal everything; I'm just worried that if I do, you might have a heart attack. But if Grandma is sure she can handle it all, I'll lay it all out," she replied casually."Julie, I think we should just go home. I can't bear to see my daughter being slandered by others," Penelope said, now pulling Phoebe's arm."Aunt Phoebe clearly had a husband even when she married her first husband. That's the first point," Abigail didn't want to give up just yet. "Even then, she was pregnant with Gisel, who turns out not to be her first husband's child. Nor is he Deryl's child, the man who is still her husband." She continued. Penelope and Phoebe looked at Abigail with wide-eyed shock."Gisel is the result of Aunt Phoebe's affair with her own father-in-law. Isn't that right, Aunt?" Abigail asked with a sardonic smile. "The second fact, Grandma. All this time, Aunt Phoebe has been prostituting herself under her father's control." Julie Madsen gasped, while Phoebe and Penelope r

"Yes, Grandma?" Abigail responded in a flat tone. "What's wrong with what I said? You're the one who said you want grandchildren, but when I discuss it, I'm still blamed. Why, Grandma? Do you only want grandchildren born from Aunt Phoebe? Don't you want grandchildren from Flavia?" Abigail asked in a sharp tone, making Julie have to pinch her under the table. "Ouch, Grandma. That hurts.""You need to watch your mouth. Stop hurting people with your words," Julie muttered angrily. Abigail was equally annoyed; she rubbed her leg which felt hot from her grandmother's pinch."I learn from the expert," Abigail replied, causing her grandmother to raise an eyebrow. "Besides, I'm better off because I only need to watch my mouth. Meanwhile, your chosen daughter-in-law, not only does she need to watch her mouth, but she has to watch everything." She replied irritably."What do you mean?" Penelope and Julie asked simultaneously."Earlier, you told me to watch my mouth, and now you're telling me to
