Fathia and her short-sighted thoughts.
She stuck to her position of not wanting to ask. Her fear was too great. She wasn't ready, truly, not at all ready for the words, "Yes, I'm marrying Clara after all," to slip perfectly from Sebastian's lips. Her heartbreak would be absolutely complete.
That's why she decided to isolate herself. She asked Jack to take her to one of the villas that Laras had recommended for her. She handed over all her affairs to Kenzo, and even her cousin wasn't informed of her whereabouts. She wanted to retreat.
She even intentionally turned off her phone for the sake of finding solitude in Raise Village now. This, of course, left Jack in a bind as many messages flooded his phone, all inquiring about Fathia's well-being. Diplomatically, Jack was asked to respond with a discreet message: Miss Fathia is taking a brief break. Her safety is assured. Kindly refrain from bothering her for a while.
Even though Jack was truly afraid and trem
There's only one thing Fathia understands. How much she adores the touch and everything that can be given to her tonight by the guy. Accumulation of things that have ever been in her little head, projected clearly by the guy. Relentlessly. Without pauses. And what's more surprising for Fathia, everything looks real.But...,"Why?" Fathia asks with a frustrated tone. Her eyes wide open and glaring sharply with breaths racing against each other. The guy who has positioned himself right above her only gives a small smile. As if underestimating, yet truly, in the darkness of his eyes, the guy is already quite impatient.It took her dozens of months to realize how tortured she was by the stretched distance. She had scraped it away, yet her busyness wound it up again. Making that distance reappear even though she had longed for it so much. Used to having the presence of the girl wandering around him, causing an incredibly draining effect on his usual way of thinking.
"I did sleep with Clara." Feeling Fathia's face suddenly tense, Sebastian quickly supplemented his words. "But only once, Fathia. Seriously. And that was when I felt like I had no hope left for your existence."Fathia pouted. It's so frustrating to hear those words coming from the guy. The image of that vixen woman being under Sebastian, where Fathia caught them, making them stop the activity, repeated in her mind. Just that alone disgusted her. What if they really... oh God! Fathia closed her eyes briefly. She felt her chest pounding heavily. She chose to move from her position. Rather than letting her anger escalate and her thoughts become more chaotic, Fathia chose to step aside."Hey," Sebastian stopped Fathia's movement. "I'm sorry if that's disturbing, but I really have to say it." Even though the girl didn't want to look at him anymore, Sebastian insisted. He pulled the blanket and Fathia's body, enveloping her in his embrace. "Listen to me, can you?"The
Fathia didn't not believe in what Sebastian was saying. No. It's just that the woman's heart needed more proof than just words and sincerity from the guy. That's what she's doing now. Leaning half against the edge of the bed with a pillow propped against her back, Fathia activates her cellphone. She gently moves Sebastian's hand, which had been holding her tightly in an embrace that was hard to break free from.Nothing happens between them. To continue what Sebastian had mentioned earlier, he chose to make Fathia a replacement for the pillow. Fathia, pretending to be half-asleep, chooses to enjoy the rhythm of Sebastian's even snoring and the rise and fall of his breath, second by second. As she gets the chance to slightly loosen his hold, Fathia puts her plan into action.She checks all of Clara the Fox's social media accounts, just as she's done recently. And..."Oh my God!"Fathia immediately covers her mouth quickly. Afraid her voice will disturb Seba
Fathia takes a deep breath. Her hands are trembling quite a bit because what she's about to attend is quite nerve-wracking for her. For the first time, she's attending Alef Walker's court trial where today's session will announce the final decision regarding the judge's verdict. Throughout the investigation, testimonies in court and the collection of evidence have taken place, and not a single one from Alef Walker came out to defend himself.Except for a few things he didn't do related to the fund markup associated with Sailendra. It took time to prove it, but Fathia is grateful that Vino periodically updates her that everything is going smoothly without any significant obstacles. Alef Walker can truly cooperate and seems to genuinely regret his actions.Beside her, there's Jess trying to calm Fathia down. Since leaving the room, Fathia has looked anxious and even unenthusiastic about finishing her breakfast. Even though Naomi made pasta with an extra load of cheese.
Sebastian bursts into laughter. "It really seemed that way, didn't it?" He starts driving the car, following the convoy in front of him. The leading car is driven by Jack with Kenzo and Laras inside. Meanwhile, Jess is in another car with Ronald. Then there's Sebastian's car. Finally, the convoy is closed by Sebastian's hired bodyguard's SUV.At the very front of the convoy, two large motorcycles are also guarding. Sebastian intentionally provides such tight security because he really doesn't want any unfortunate incidents that Fathia might experience again.Their destination: the Alvin family grave.This idea was sparked by Fathia a day before the verdict was announced. Laras was happily on board with it, as she hadn't visited her brother's and her best friend's graves in a long time. Laras considered Rossie to be like her best friend."You still won't tell me what you were about to say earlier?" Fathia breaks the silence. Sebastian seems focused on the
Clara doesn't care how many things she does alone. Even a simple reply from the guy never arrives. Continuously, she tries various ways to get that stiff guy to respond to her messages, but it feels futile. There's never a response. She even threatened to bring reporters to cover her visit to her future husband's office, but Vino... seriously, if there's one guy that woman hates the most, Vino's name is at the very top.He's the one who shields her boss from all disturbances; her prospective husband.Canceling the wedding event when all the preparations have reached about 85% is something she never could have imagined. But there's one worst-case scenario among all the preparations she's working on. Sebastian never showed up at the reception where they were supposed to be king and queen for a day. Enjoying the grand party that Clara desired.Luxurious and glamorous. Just like her taste.Including the riskiest move, she's made: meeting Larasati and asking f
Usually, Fathia is the laziest when it comes to visiting the Energy Building. Besides her own trauma, it reminds her of her responsibilities. Seriously. It's not that she doesn't want to be responsible. But the world behind the desk with lots of reports around it, that's not her at all. She prefers to wrestle with various flowers and fertilizers and soil.Arranging artificial flowers into a beautiful and elegant bouquet for an event. Also, fresh flowers as a lovely bouquet to be given as a gift to someone.That's what she enjoys.However, if it weren't for an emergency call that Fathia couldn't avoid, she wouldn't be strolling here. Wearing five-inch heels to enhance her semi-formal look, she walks confidently. A semi-flannel pink shirt with blue stripes paired with well-fitted jeans. Her long hair is wavy. Her makeup remains natural because Fathia herself doesn't like her face being too heavily made up.The rhythmic sound of her heels echoes as she heads
Their wedding party was lavish yet intimate. It was held in Hawaii, on a tranquil beach where the vows were exchanged and followed by a celebration with a modern and elegant theme.The white dress with a low neckline and an open back that Fathia wore throughout the party made Sebastian want to curse. Curse at anyone who asked his girl about this dress. If necessary, even the designer. Couldn't they see how many eyes were on Fathia?Like they were starving?Oh my God!Sebastian had to admit, fully admit, that when Fathia entered the main ballroom accompanied by Jess, where he had been waiting, he was stunned. Stunned by everything Fathia was wearing. Maybe the word 'beautiful' alone wasn't enough to describe Fathia today. She looked like an incarnation of Aphrodite, capable of enchanting many men around her. Her gaze was serene, and her smile bloomed like a blossoming rose. And, oh my, seriously, Sebastian was going to protest against whoever styled Fathia
