"Where did you get that nonsense?" Fathia waved her hand dismissively and continued with her intention. She was telling the truth, though. She just used the excuse to return the book now. Fathia was prolonging her time. That way, when she returned, she could sit in the back area.
She didn't want to stare at Sebastian for too long in front of the guests. Most likely, he wouldn't be far from the main podium. Jesslyn, on the other hand, would definitely choose a seat in the front. Not because she wanted to hear Sebastian's speech and advice. No, Fathia was certain of that. Jess was only doing it so that the two of them could sit and admire how cool Sebastian was, especially Fathia.
Observing Sebastian from a distance because when he was with Clara, Fathia's mood felt even gloomier.
"What's wrong with me?" Fathia complained softly as she continued walking, strolling down the corridor toward the back cafeteria where the young man had informed her of his current locat

EARLY DECEMBER 2019The first time Fathia opened her eyes, what she remembered was her outburst towards Sebastian. Flash by flash, the events of the morning that should have been filled with happiness and enjoyment turned into pain. Although she remembered the pleasant breakfast she had. Seeing Sebastian's laughter and smiles, as well as their light conversation with their guardian.Fathia really wished that when she turned around, Sebastian would be beside her. Waiting for her like when she was sick before. However, that hope was now futile. All she saw was Clara, sitting there playing with her phone and occasionally giggling."Oh... are you awake already?"With a stiff movement and a sudden groan escaping Fathia's lips due to the intense pain coursing through her body, she needed to confirm one thing. "Where am I, Aunt?"Clara brushed her hair aside slowly, a cunning smile forming on her face. It pierced right through those beautiful eyes of Fath

TWO WEEKS AFTER THE INCIDENTWith a single motion wrapped in emotion, and his eyes burning with anger, Sebastian cleared all the items on his desk. He didn't care if his arms got hit by a few hard objects. The bruises he got couldn't replace the turmoil he was currently experiencing. The sound of objects falling echoed, not to mention the shards of glass, which would be deafening to anyone who heard it, including Vino.A shiver of horror clearly enveloped Vino now. He froze in place at the threshold of the door. The report he had just brought was tightly held, as if his grip was only on that red folder. All the achievements and promotions that should have made the room's owner happy couldn't lessen the turmoil that existed. On the contrary, it added to the anger that already consumed the boss."What's going on?" Sebastian growled as he noticed Vino hesitating to approach."Sir," Vino attempted to maintain the tone of his voice. Don't let it tremble or sou

Luckily, the presence of the doctor who treated the stubborn man could at least make Sebastian lie back in his bed."I've asked people to help search," Ronald said, not for the first time. Sebastian responded with a disapproving grunt. But when he found out that Fathia wasn't among the victims of the explosion, Ronald began to falter."They've been targeting Fathia from the beginning. Getting rid of you is secondary, Sebastian."Sebastian nodded in agreement. "But I still have to find Fathia, Uncle."Ronald nodded slightly. "I've mobilized my people to search. I can't just sit still, Sebastian, if you want to know," he added emphatically.Sebastian never doubted Ronald's loyalty to Alvin Mehram. Just like him. Everything he did was not only to fulfill his promise, but also to prove that Alvin didn't make a mistake in choosing him as support. Both for the Azure Group, especially for Fathia. But the reality..."All the victims have been checke

"How is it, Mr. Ronald? Is the news true?" Sebastian demanded impatiently as soon as Ronald entered his room. He immediately set aside the task that had occupied his attention. Vino could wait."Unfortunately... it's true."Sebastian roughly covered his face with his hands. His frustrated sigh couldn't be held back any longer. "Oh God! What should I do, Mr. Ronald?"Ronald was equally frustrated as Sebastian. The news that one of the critically injured victims under intensive care was indeed Fathia. His trusted people had confirmed it clearly and accurately."We need to go there now." Sebastian began to prepare, but Ronald stopped him."Remember, you have a meeting with the shareholders today. I'll go to the hospital. I'll keep you informed of any further developments."Sebastian wanted to protest, but he couldn't."Make sure none of them know and make sure they're convinced that we really know Fathia's whereabouts."Sebastian

Sebastian stared at the room where Fathia was supposedly being treated with a mournful gaze. After the meeting, he left all his tasks behind. In fact, one could argue that he hadn't entirely been present during the meeting. His mind was focused on Fathia's condition.And now, he could only watch her from behind the half-frosted glass window. Numerous devices were attached to her. The monitor beside her served as an indicator of the life that still lingered within the body of the girl who had been haunting Sebastian recently.A heap of guilt and neglect was only fitting for him to feel now.If only...Argh!The man in his Armani suit ran his fingers through his hair in frustration. The accumulation of all the burdens he had been carrying lately burst out mercilessly. He fell to his knees, his shoulders trembling slightly. He regretted why he, who was supposed to protect Fathia, ended up being distant from her during that event.It should have

As far as Fathia could see, there was only the TV in front of her playing the same shows over and over again. She could change the channel if she wanted, but she was reluctant to take control over anything. Local channels were not available to her. She had hoped to learn something from the news. Maybe the incident at her campus had gone viral. At the very least, she wanted to know what really happened.Since she woke up under the doctor's care, her condition had been improving. But Fathia felt blind. She had no idea about any news out there. How long had she been here? She had no clue whatsoever. Blind. Truly blind. Her only companions were the ticking of the clock on the wall. It was so quiet. She had asked about her belongings and bag, but the nurse shook her head indicating that she didn't know anything.No phone, communication cut off, and on top of that, all the people she knew had been occupying her mind lately. Especially Jess' whereabouts. True, she was more wo

One year later,Jess waited anxiously. She repeatedly glanced at the G-shock on her right wrist. Occasionally, she looked around, hoping that the person who would pick her up would arrive, unaware that they might already be here. But it seemed unlikely. The person was supposed to use a distinctive car, and she would definitely notice their arrival soon. Her foot tapped gently, trying to calm her nerves. The corner of her lips was slightly sore from biting them too often.Deciding to temporarily close her shop for the day, Jess asked Asya to take a break, even though she was suspicious. Jess was skilled at deflecting suspicions. She told Asya, "Going on a date with Roy," she said before leaving. But no, she couldn't possibly go on a date with Roy like this. Especially after... oh, Jess considered herself lucky to still be breathing. She often uttered thousands of gratitude for surviving the explosion that happened back then.She never forgot how horrifying that i

The girl stared at her intensely. Then she let out a soft sigh and cleared her throat briefly. This made Clara, who was sitting while playing with her phone, furrow her brows."Okay, I agree to stay away from you guys."Clara didn't just believe it immediately. Fathia was smart at feigning innocence. Her most formidable competitor for Sebastian's attention. Everything she possessed made Clara unable to underestimate her easily."I won't be in your lives anymore.""What's the guarantee?"The girl smiled slightly, making Clara truly realize that she wasn't dealing with an ordinary twenty-year-old."I know that saving me isn't your only intention, right? Even if you don't admit to knowing the people who intended harm to us, I know that you have some knowledge about me."Clara fell silent, choosing to wait for the continuation of Fathia's words."Even though it's hard to accept, I understand that what you've said is true.
