Avelyn felt the sun was shining brighter today in Panama. She almost squealed with joy when she woke up to find Elvis sleeping next to her, hugging her possessively. She rubbed the top of Elvis's head slowly, but didn't hope to wake him up. From Elvis's face, Avelyn found many streaks of fatigue which made her worried. She was afraid that Elvis's disease would recur because the man was too tired. Seeing Elvis, Avelyn remembered her promise with Lean yesterday. They will have breakfast together at nine at The Paradise. But now all their plans are impossible because Elvis has returned. Her fun time with Lean ended last night. How grateful she was that Elvis had returned and that she would be back on the right track. She felt a blur of orientation during her time with Lean. She became oblivious to her marital status with Elvis. In fact, she tends to enjoy her company with Lean. After Lean came out of her room, she immediately wiped away those stupid tears. She disguised the tear marks
"What did you get?" “A pearl necklace. You?" “Bracelet with beads made of unique colorful stones. I really didn't expect our new mistress to be that kind." The hordes of servants in the luxurious mansion were showing off the gifts Avelyn had given them this morning. They joyfully tried them one by one in a special room at the back of the mansion that they had always used to gather and gossip about. A total of ten servants worked in the mansion. The ten servants have their respective duties and responsibilities according to the division of tasks made by the butler. There were three people who were employed as cooks, two were assigned to clean the right wing of the mansion, then two people worked on the left wing, while the rest served as gardeners and janitors on the second floor. The ten servants had served for years in Elvis's magnificent mansion until the mansion and its contents felt so familiar to them. But one that has become unfamiliar to them lately. The presence of their ne
Answering the call from the knocker, Avelyn immediately rolled out of her comfortable bed and left the fashion magazine still wide open on her bed. The call came from the butler at Elvis's mansion. Just five days ago Elvis had told her that Magda was the butler of his mansion. No wonder at that time Avelyn often saw Magda hanging around. Even that woman was the first to greet her very kindly when she woke up in a strange place that is now her home. "It’s time for lunch, ma’am," said Magda politely. Avelyn glanced at the clock on her wall and only then realized that she had spent hours rolling around on the bed. "I'll come down later." Avelyn replied uncertainly. She feels that she doesn't need lunch because she often skips lunch when she has breakfast in the morning. But she deliberately didn't say that in front of Magda so as not to offend the kind servant. "Thanks for the reminder me, Magda." "It is my duty, ma’am. Then excuse me." Avelyn stared briefly at Magda, then closed h
"Say her to come back later!" said Lean angrily at his new receptionist officer. Wherever Evon worked, that woman always messed up his day. He should have fired her from his office and not given her a chance to work in a lower position. "The woman is presistent," replied Evon weakly. Today she has had a tough day. In an instant her position was snatched away by others. And now everyone who knew her was staring at her with pity because the boss of The Star blatantly kicked herself from the position of secretary. Even though she had worked with Lean for years, and so far there had never been any problems like what she had just faced. Lean is an indifferent boss. That was what Evon stepped up to during her time as her secretary. Many times she tried to lure the man to show his true identity because there were many rumors circulating that he was gay. But who would have thought that her reckless action to tease Lean and prove the truth of the rumors would have made her lose her positio
Ending the conversation with Rebecca, Avelyn immediately got up from her bed to put her cellphone on the nightstand beside her bed. At the same time, the door to her room suddenly opened, revealing Elvis's figure who looked exhausted with his office shirt that were no longer neat like this morning. A suit that is carried carelessly in one hand, a tie that looks already loose, a shirt sleeve that is rolled unsymmetrically between the right arm and the left arm. Then Elvis's face also showed the same crease as his clothes. Elvis's dark hair looked messy without leaving a trace of gel. Even though Avelyn was sure that this morning Elvis had applied enough hair gel to his dark hair to keep the hair in place while he was wandering around outside the house. "Hi, Sweety,” said Elvis warmly, but full of tired tone in every word. With heavy steps, the man walked to the cream sofa in the corner of their bedroom, and immediately dropped his things just like that. "You look like you just got sw
Avelyn cheerfully welcomed today as her first day of work after taking a leave of absence for her honeymoon. Although it can be said that the honeymoon is not an ordinary honeymoon. How could she even spend her honeymoon with Lean? Sometimes thinking about that makes Avelyn wonder, is actually her husband Elvis or Lean? Avelyn got mad at herself for remembering that. Moreover, last night she had passed quite a long night with Elvis. The man presses her to tell who Michael is. The man who Elvis thought was her ex-husband, even though Michael was her brother-in-law. Yeah, Avelyn having no choice but to come up with a childlike story to make Elvis believe in her. Within a week of her marriage, Avelyn had broken the first rule in a household relationship. An honest! But it couldn't be helped, she couldn't possibly tell Elvis if the main reason for marrying that man was because of Elvis's eyeballs which were the same as those of her dead brother-in-law. It would be very painful for Elvis
Avelyn sighed out the number of times she waited for Lean to speak to him. They had been on this patio for more than thirty minutes. The patio of a fancy restaurant that Lean ordered with great emotion to the receptionist. Really Avelyn didn't know why Lean's mood had gotten this bad. Even before the shoot started, the man was still so calm and enjoying his attitude that managed to make Avelyn stiffen. But after Avelyn was done with her shoot an hour and a half later, Lean suddenly stopped his car right in front of Avelyn's body who was standing on the road, then told the woman to get into the car with a flat face. "Are you going to...." "I have more than five businesses I need to take care of, Avelyn." Cut Lean quickly with a hiss. "Okay Mr. Busy!" Avelyn replied loudly as she rested her hands on the table to support her head. She was tired of waiting for the man to chat with his interlocutor who occasionally accompanied the loud voice of Lean because he was angry or maybe disapp
Silence engulfed them for a moment. Somehow she had to face the statement Lean had thrown at her. Lean's face now felt unattractive in her eyes. Not that Lean had just told her any of his secrets... or maybe it was a disgrace. She have no idea. What was clear was that Avelyn felt that looking at Lean's face now was not a good choice. Apart from being confused about how to respond to that man's statement, she also didn't know what to do in front of Lean. If she shows a sympathetic face, he may become even angrier because she feels pity. After all, a man has a sky-high ego that is very difficult to break. And if he had told her the darkest secret that man had, it could be because Lean wanted something from her. "Are you surprised?" "A little. What happened to you?" "Accident." "Oh, sorry. I don't mean to make you have to remember that bad incident. But what is clear, I'm confused to react in front of you. I'm afraid you will be offended." "Yes. Since you laughed earlier, I've been
The halls were full and bustling with Royale High School students. Avelyn walked as usual down the hallway, ignoring the scornful stares of her friends. Isn't that normal? Avelyn thought sarcastically. For almost three years, she had always received the same gaze from them. So this is no longer a problem for her. But is she sure that this is not a problem? A student suddenly blocked her way. He looked at her body with an impolite look, then suddenly gripped her chin with a painful grip. "Let me go!" Avelyn hissed sarcastically. As far as she knew she had never had any business with the dark curly-haired student. But she knew what his name was, Hudson. That boy had never bothered her, at least as long as she was with Michael. Only a fool would dare to deal with Michael. Unfortunately not anymore. Avelyn wasn't part of Michael anymore, ever since she slapped the man for her lecherous act. Their relationship was practically broken. Michael didn't come to her often in class anymore to d
Avelyn hesitated to ring the bell in front of her. But this is the only chance she has so she can be free from Michael who has been looking for her since five days ago. Her flight from that man was not time to stop. She had to keep moving in order to avoid Michael's hired spies whom he had seen in the various places he had been. This morning when she came out of her rented apartment on the outskirts of LA, she saw a man with glasses standing reading a newspaper across the street, right in front of her apartment window. Of course she wouldn't be as paranoid as it if the man she saw this morning was not the same as the man she saw yesterday while having lunch at a Japanese restaurant. Without any hesitation, Avelyn was sure that this man was the spy Michael sent to find her. But to hell with that guy. After she was sure that her position was known, she just walked out of the apartment, speeding fast right in front of the man using her sports car which she happened to be able to rely o
Elvis Taylor is an old man with a gloomy face who has not been touched by happiness during his life. Since his wife and child died, Elvis has continued to make himself like a robot who has absolutely no thought for his own health. Now at the age of fifty-three, Elvis looked so pale, his cheekbones protruded horribly because of his thin body. Her eyeballs, once brilliant green, had faded to a cloudy green from looking at the computer too much. Elvis's pale skin looked wrinkled here and there because of the effects of the hard drugs he had been consuming. Although he never considered his heart disease to be a serious disease, he occasionally took medication to survive. He needs to endure until he finds the right person to replace him. There are thousands of employees who survive from the business he started. If he dies, then who will be responsible for them? It's not easy running a business in the life of the family troubles that have haunted him for the past twenty five years or so. E
There is no worse day than today. Avelyn felt so bad he felt like crying. Really she hates being in the silence without anyone who will hold it. Rebecca here couldn’t help calm her down. And she also didn't want to keep bothering Rebecca just to hear all her sad story. She was an adult, married, but her heart and mind felt completely immature. Until now she hasn't even tried to fix the problem with Elvis. Her ego is really too high just to just contact Elvis, then invite the man to talk nicely. And because of that now Avelyn was sad. All day, after she came home from McDonalds feeling annoyed with Tobbie, she just stayed home without doing anything. Many times Magda knocked on her door, reminding her to eat, but she always refused on the grounds that she was full. But that's exactly what happened. She is full of the problems that have befallen her. This impulsive marriage in fact tortured her and made her heart waver. It is undeniable that her recent closeness with Lean has influence
Lean stroked the top of Hill's head affectionately. Just as he expected, Hill was still sick and not completely healed. After an hour of playing in the park, Hill has now fallen asleep on his shoulders. That kid was not as active as usual. When he tried to impress Hill with his basketball skills, the boy just clapped his hands without showing any enthusiasm. But whatever it was, Lean felt relieved that Hill was doing well. It only takes a little more time to rest, medicine, and nutritious food, and Hill will soon recover from illness. "Oh, I was just about to catch up with you." Letha looked surprised when Lean suddenly stood behind her who had just locked the apartment door. Seeing Hill sleeping comfortably on Lean's shoulder, Letha hurriedly opened the door to her apartment again and immediately opened the door wide for Lean. "Your friend is home?" “Yes, ten minutes ago. After clearing the glasses and plates, I intend to catch up with you. Is he a bother?" Letha led Lean to Hill
There was nothing Avelyn could do today. After returning from Lean's apartment, she found her house quiet as usual. Elvis is not home. Yeah, of course that guy couldn't be home at ten like this. It is certain that Elvis is currently struggling at his office desk to sign the dozens of files that come and go on his desk. Thinking about Elvis getting longer, it made Avelyn even more annoyed. The cold war that occurred between them actually made their household unclear like this. Even last night Elvis didn't contact her at all. Even though when Avelyn activated her cellphone this morning, she hoped Elvis would call her, looking for her with a panicked face while praying non-stop throughout the night, asking God for her safety. But all she got when her white cellphone was completely turned on was a pile of emails from credit cards, from the legality agency Lean who sent her a copy of the employment contract, then a few missed calls from Becca. In addition, there were absolutely no calls
Letha rested on her chin in Hill's room while accompanying the boy to play with his dinosaurs. It had been quite a while since Tatyana had said goodbye to go out with her boyfriend. Her heart had been wondering whether Lean would come to see his child? Is Lean willing to leave the pleasures that woman offers in his apartment? The more she thought about it, Letha's head grew dizzy and her heart pounded. She can't just keep expecting a man who clearly doesn't expect her anymore. This is her fault. The other side of her was sneering while laughing at her old foolishness. She was too arrogant when Lean volunteered take responbility to his past. And at that time, when Lean was staying at her house in Tacoma, Lean said he wanted to make a whole family for Hill. The man wanted to fulfill the dream of children in general who always wanted a warm family with a complete father and mother. How he hated himself, who at Hill's age could not feel a normal family life, so he didn't want something
Avelyn closed the door to Lean's apartment and stayed where she was with a frown as she stared at the door. Just now Letha came. But he thought the woman looked strange. Her face showed both nervousness and surprise when she saw her open the door. Avelyn then glanced at her own appearance from top to toe, at her bare feet. Instantly she patted herself on the forehead and voiced some curses for the stupidity she had done this morning. Really she didn't mean to misunderstand her. No wonder Letha immediately looked pale after seeing her come out to open the door. her appearance this morning really couldn't be said to be appropriate. She thought she was still wearing her wet dress last night because she didn't even check her appearance before getting out of bed. Moments ago she was awakened by the disturbing sound of the bell from the front door. She saw Lean sleeping soundly on the sofa, made her feel so sorry that she decided to open the door without waking Lean. Seeing the man so guar
All night Lean has to keep Avelyn from being unconscious. In a panic, Lean decided to take Avelyn to his apartment. It was completely unthinkable in Lean's mind to take Avelyn to the hospital because he was too worry about Avelyn's situation. Plus, if he took Avelyn to the hospital, it would only create a scene. In this city, even though people are indifferent to each other, there is still a sly paparazzi who likes to take advantage of the situation. So in the end Lean turned the steering wheel toward his apartment and immediately lifted Avelyn outside as soon as they reached the basement of the lonely apartment. One of the things he is grateful for about the apartment, they prioritize a very strict privacy system. None of the spies managed to infiltrate the apartment to extract information that the owner of the information did not allow. After Lean managed to bring Avelyn to his room, the man immediately laid Avelyn carefully on the bed and took a towel to dry Avelyn's drenched body
