Forced Marriage Chapter 54
Chapter 54"We're late, Ed." Jovan spoke sluggishly, as soon as he got word from someone on his phone."Has Melati left yet?""Yeah. Looks like he knows we're looking for him." Unfortunately they were too late.Edwin could only take a deep breath. If only he could protect that woman, surely Melati wouldn't have to go.Edwin truly regretted his current state of not being able to be in two places at once. He secretly promised in his heart that he would accept Melati no matter what the situation was after she was found."Calm down, at least we know that Melati is in Bandung. That means it's getting closer to Gunadi's house." Jovan patted Edwin's shoulder lightly. The man knew how upset Edwin felt because he couldn't take care of Melati.Jovan could also see how Edwin cared for Melati, not just pity. But more than that.*****Vienna stepped hastily into the room where Kirana was resting. Some time ago the doctor had examined him and replaced his bandages with new ones. Injuries to the hea
Forced Marriage Chapter 55
Chapter 55Edwin ran as hard as he could to find Vienna. In fact, every seller visited because of worry. Edwin also tried to contact the girl's cellphone, but it was still not active."Where are you going, Vienna!" Edwin did not give up. He immediately dialed the police number to report a kidnapping. But the reply from the other side disappointed him."I'm sorry, Sir. This case can be reported to us only after one twenty-four hours." Edwin immediately hung up and almost threw his phone away in annoyance."Edwin, what's going on? You seem really agitated." Jovan immediately approached after seeing Edwin acting unusually from a distance."Vienna, Jo. Vienna is gone!""Are you sure? I had a brief chat with him earlier on the phone." Jovan asked seriously. Even earlier he and Vienna had talked on the phone to ask where he was."Kirana told me, Jo." Edwin immediately explained the previous incident. Stupidly he felt guilty for not knowing this would happen."Quickly call someone, Jo. I wan

Chapter 56"Mr. Edwin, there seems to be someone in this room!" A tall man in a black shirt said seriously to Edwin and Jovan. They were anxiously searching for Vienna."Quickly, let's break down the door!" Jovan replied, walking towards the door. With a bit of a start, they broke down the door in three blows. The dark room was exposed perfectly after Jovan turned on the lamp."Vienna!" Jovan ran towards the bed where Vienna was almost half-naked, curled up with her mouth sealed with duct tape."Find whoever did this!" Jovan said. He grabbed a blanket and covered Vienna's body before releasing the ties on her hands and feet. Edwin was also shocked by Vienna's condition. He was aided by his men, who promptly went to the window where there was a man running away without wearing a shirt."That jerk! How could he do this to Vienna?!" Edwin growled and ran out of the room, leaving Jovan and Vienna. Vienna burst into tears immediately, while Jovan hugged her.Teguh was still sitting in his
Forced Marriage Chapter 57
Chapter 57"Have you found the owner of the car?" Edwin asked impatiently. His men had followed the suspect and managed to track him down last night. Edwin hoped to receive good news as soon as possible."Yes, sir. But after investigating, we found out it was a rental car. Someone rented it under someone else's name," the men reported."Is that so?" Edwin let out a frustrated sigh. "What about Teguh? Has he returned home?""It seems not. We have asked his wife and housekeeper, but they have no idea where he is.""Damn it!" Edwin groaned irritably. "Alright, you guys rest and make sure to keep a watch on his house. If anything suspicious happens, contact me immediately.""Yes, sir." The two men who gave the report then left.All night, Edwin couldn't sleep as he thought about Vienna and his missing wife Melati.He was restless thinking about all the things that had been troubling him lately."So how is she?" Edwin asked anxiously when Jovan contacted him to inform him of the results of
Forced Marriage Chapter 58
Chapter 58"Oh my goodness, Edwin! Wake up! You were the one who came here, you were the one who got angry, and now you're the one who's passed out. What an oddball," Anita heaved a heavy sigh, shaking Edwin's body to try to wake him up. But even after several moments had passed, Edwin still didn't wake up. Anita had to call her domestic helper to come and help her lay Edwin down on the sofa."Should I call the doctor, ma'am?" the domestic helper asked Anita. The middle-aged woman under her employ had a good idea of the problems that Edwin and Anita were facing, since her voice was loud enough to be heard from nearby."Let it be. I will contact Jovan. He knows more about his friend's condition," Anita said, quickly looking for her phone that was in her room, before returning to the living room. At least she wanted to try to contact Jovan, and it took a few moments, but eventually the call was connected."Auntie Anita, why did you contact me?" Jovan asked on the other end. Anita began
Forced Marriage Chapter 59
Chapter 59Vienna's eyes widened as she saw who was moving quickly and approaching her. Teguh, the man, immediately stuffed a cloth into her mouth so that she couldn't scream."Uhmm...uhmm...!"Teguh grinned cunningly."Be silent, and do not make a sound!""Uhmm...uhmm...!""Do you really want to live after getting a stain on your body, hm?! I will help accelerate your death!"Teguh grinned and immediately pulled the IV from Vienna's hand and dragged the weak and painful woman. Vienna was helpless and surrendered as Teguh dragged her away.A nurse who saw them being taken away immediately called for help.When several supervisors and visitors approached, they were too late because Teguh had already entered the elevator and the doors were closed tightly.Teguh took Vienna to the top floor and kept dragging her to the edge, where they now stood on the fifteenth floor of the fifteen-story building, with a busy highway underneath with vehicles passing by.Vienna screamed hysterically as T
Forced Marriage Chapter 60
Chapter 60The sun was shining brightly, illuminating the mountains that were still shrouded in mist. The chirping of birds sounded melancholic in Melati's ears, accompanying the remaining dew drops from the leaves to the ground which then evaporated upwards, turning into clouds."Are you happy being in this place?" Someone's voice made Melati who was breathing in the fresh air turn to look at her. The woman immediately rubbed her swollen belly and smiled cheerfully, sharing Melati's happiness."Of course, this place is like the best healing spot I can find. Besides, I find a lot of peace in this place." Melati's previously depressed face slowly turned into joy."Thank God. Your gestational age is getting older, and according to the estimate, two weeks from now, right?" The woman was impatiently wanting to hold the baby in her cradle. After her child grew up, she had no more small toys."Yes, you're right." Melati smiled sadly. There was a lot on her mind right now.How would her baby

Chapter 61"You shouldn't speak recklessly! What have you done to Jonathan? And did you intentionally follow us?" Bian asked impatiently. He was afraid that something had happened to his only sibling."Of course, he's already dead. If not, how could I have met the woman I love and my future child? Oh, by the way, after our last encounter, it seems like it'll take a few more weeks until you give birth, right? I've been counting and can't wait to become a father." The man smiled as he scanned Melati's perfectly round belly.The man couldn't wait to become a father, and if possible, he would take his son with him along with Melati by his side.Teguh would eliminate anyone who tried to stand in his way, including Bian or Edwin.Since Wina's case happened, Teguh actually didn't run away and had been staying in the same city. However, he was being protected by Burhan.The man protected him because Teguh also helped in finding several young women for Burhan to sleep with, while also helping

Forced Marriage Chapter 89
Chapter 89With both arms folded, Edwin stood right beside the bed. There was someone lying there, still pale with a bandaged head. And Edwin was still loyally waiting for him to wake up, feeling exasperated, angry, and happy at the same time, remembering that his friend managed to survive the critical period after the removal of the disease in his head.Jovan's eyes blinked as the bright light entered them and disturbed his sleep."Edwin!" Jovan was slightly surprised as a cunning grin slowly approached, closing the distance between their faces."You're not going to get angry now, are you?" As if understanding his friend's feelings, Jovan winced because Edwin did not take his gaze off of him."Since when have you kept secrets from me?" Edwin asked with a serious, piercing stare towards his friend, who only gave a thin smile in response."I didn't want to worry you!" Jovan reasoned. He knew that Edwin was angry with him for hiding the disease that had been afflicting him, and not info
Forced Marriage Chapter 88
Chapter 88The girl's steps felt heavy as she entered a room where someone lay helpless, with an infusion tube attached to his wrist.There was a weight in her chest that, for some reason, she couldn't shake off for a long time, causing her to cry.The door opened slowly as she entered and looked at a man with his eyes closed and a bandage on his head. More tears fell, remembering that Jovan was like an older brother to her.Unable to bear it any longer, Kirana chose to sit beside Jovan's bed. The resting man slowly opened his eyes when he heard sobbing noises that disturbed his ears."Little girl, you're noisy! Your crying is making my head heavier," he said, grimacing. His vision was still blurry from the anesthetic."Heartless man," she sobbed, unable to hide her sadness anymore. Kirana almost angrily hit Jovan's chest if she didn't pity him.Nearly six hours ago, Jovan had just left the operating room. Due to the influence of anesthesia, it wasn't until he was disturbed by Kirana'
Forced Marriage Chapter 87
Chapter 87After hearing Kirana's explanation, Edwin felt uneasy. It was as if there were an unresolved mystery awaiting him in life. Kirana's ambiguous statement made him keep thinking about it. He didn't even notice Melati approaching him with Diandra."Is there something important that happened that's making you so restless?" Melati joined Edwin as they both stared out at the city of Amsterdam in the morning light."I don't know, Kirana said something bad is happening in Indonesia. But I don't know what it is." Edwin explained briefly."And that's why your heart is uneasy?" asked Melati. Edwin quickly nodded in agreement."I'm afraid something else has happened. Especially since Jovan wouldn't answer my calls!" Edwin recounted the situation."In that case, we should go back as soon as possible," Melati suggested, and Edwin looked into her eyes seriously."But what about our plans?" Melati smiled."We can go anywhere after the issue is resolved. Now is not the time for fun. If somet
Forced Marriage Chapter 86
Chapter 86As evening approached, Edwin, along with one of his subordinates, prepared a meal in the kitchen. His wife was putting Diandra to bed in their room.A delicious and appetizing meal was set up to welcome Melati. The dining table had several dishes, some of which were ordered from a famous halal-certified restaurant. A table adorned with dim candles awaited Melati's descent.After a few minutes, Melati arrived wearing a long, slightly thick dress to keep off the cold.People blew trumpets, clapped, and cheered as Melati appeared, looking shocked."Hey, what's going on? What are you guys doing?" Melati asked incredulously at the small surprise prepared for her. Edwin even held a bouquet of lilies to present to his wife."Congratulations, my wife. I hope after this, we'll never be separated again," Edwin wished, embracing his wife and inviting her to sit at the dining table with various dishes."Oh my, did you prepare all this?" Melati looked enthusiastic as Edwin nodded quickl
Forced Marriage Chapter 85
Chapter 85"Sir, perhaps you are just hallucinating!" said one of his subordinates, standing up, especially after Edwin suddenly ran away from the place without any explanation. "It's impossible! I'm sure I just heard a meaningful scream!" Edwin remained adamant in his thinking.Edwin sprinted out of the room, ignoring the others around him. Scanning to the right and left on the snowy night, he didn't recognize any of the passersby. They stared back at him with puzzled expressions."For some reason, I'm sure Melati is nearby. Oh God, please reunite me with my wife; I don't want us to be apart any longer," he prayed inwardly, his face filled with anxiety.Edwin's subordinates also followed him out of the room after paying for their orders. They scattered to the right and left, with some even crossing the street in search of the woman their boss loved.Suddenly, a voice raised Edwin's hopes."Mr. Edwin! Over here!" The man shouted in panic when he found Melati about to be dragged and fo
Forced Marriage Chapter 84
Chapter 84The stolen black car was driven quite roughly, considering the driver was not very experienced in handling Teguh's luxury vehicle.Melati, clutching Diandra in her embrace, kept praying for their safety. She wasn't sure if the man beside her would succeed in bringing her to Edwin, given his reckless driving.The slightly wet road from the freshly fallen snow made the car occasionally swerve left and right, sometimes weaving and braking imperfectly. Melati had to hold on tight."Can't you drive properly? I'm holding a baby in my arms, and I don't want an accident to happen between us!" Melati snapped at the man, who appeared unconcerned despite repeatedly failing to brake and accelerate correctly."Relax, miss. I may not have driven a car for nearly five years, but my skills are adequate," he said, causing Melati to shake her head in resignation.The shining headlights from behind made both of them look through the rearview mirror to see who was chasing them."Isn't that Teg
Forced Marriage Chapter 83
Chapter 83Someone knocked on the door. Melati glanced in that direction. She didn't know who it was, so she chose to ignore it and continued to embrace Diandra.Knock knock knock!The sound came again. This time, Melati approached the door."Who is it?""It's me. The man who will save your life. Ini aku. Pria yang akan menyelamatkan hidupmu!" The man spoke in English. Fortunately, Melati understood the meaning.But Melati was confused because she didn't recognize the man. Nevertheless, she remained curious."Who sent you? Be clear!" she whispered so Teguh's men couldn't hear her. Luckily, she was held captive on the second floor while they were downstairs playing cards."Edwin!""What? He's here?" Melati asked again."Yes, and he's waiting for you," he said in English.Hearing the name mentioned, Melati felt stunned and slightly disbelieving. However, she felt hopeful. Her smile appeared involuntarily as she missed him dearly.The man fiddled with the doorknob. In just a moment, the
Forced Marriage Chapter 82
Chapter 82Every day, Edwin and his subordinates spread out to search for Melati. They showed clear pictures of her to various people, most of whom only shook their heads and acted indifferent."Wij weten het niet. Maar in dit land nemen ontvoering toe, (We don't know, but kidnappings are on the rise in this country,) a man said as Edwin showed him a photo on the phone.Still, he didn't lose hope. Melati and his son must be fine, considering Teguh was the one who kidnapped them, not a stranger or local resident. One thing Edwin knew and believed for sure: Teguh wouldn't harm Melati or Diandra since he was obsessed with both of them. It would be illogical for him to go through the trouble of taking them abroad to elude Edwin if he wanted to eliminate them, he thought to himself."Shall we move on to another place, Boss?" Edwin's subordinate spoke up from behind. Edwin nodded his head, unaware that someone had been watching them all this time.The man dropped his cigarette and began to
Forced Marriage Chapter 81
Chapter 81After a dozen-hour-long flight, the four of them finally arrived in their destination country: the Netherlands. A pre-ordered car took them to a place where they could rest their weary bodies before dispersing to gather information.Edwin instructed two men to search for information at the airport's arrival center and its surroundings. Meanwhile, another went to the local police station to report the kidnapping. Edwin himself headed to the Indonesian Embassy to ask for help. Fortunately, they were quick to assist and promised to help in any way they could.In the evening, Edwin and his partners returned to their temporary residence. This was just the beginning, and they hadn't made any progress yet. However, they didn't lose hope. There was always tomorrow, and Edwin firmly believed that his wife would be found. ***Meanwhile, in another place.Jovan returned to the hospital where Gunadi was being treated. A short while ago, Dena had contacted him to come there, where Guna
