Morana didn't understand why she had mentioned that number. But, thinking about it, since Daniel and their father had bad thoughts about her, so what's wrong with Morana acting as they expected? At least she got something right? She can live without working for several years with that 10 billion if Daniel really gives her money with such a fantastic nominal, so actually Morana isn't the one who is at a loss, right? After all, he already intends to leave Quirino. But, why did she feel something was wrong? Her heart wasn't happy with it and couldn't keep up with the way her brain was working to account for the situation. Why is that? “10 Billion?” Daniel raised his eyebrows in disbelief. "I didn't know that a woman like you was so shameless in extortion like this." "A girl like me?" Morana rubbed the tears that fell down her cheeks roughly. "Don't you forget that this kind of woman makes your brother willing to do anything for me." Morana replied with a triumphant grin. She knew
"Hello?" Morana greeted softly when the phone call connected. She didn't expect that Quirino was actually already in this country and looking for her to the point of hiring frightening people like the man in front of her. "Quirino?""You follow them and meet me." Answer the person on the other end of the call. That was the only sentence he said before a tone sounded that the line had been disconnected.Morana stared at the phone screen which displayed the accumulated time of the last call made.5 sec.Morana thought Quirino would scold her first over the phone before telling her to come see him, but Quirino only spoke to her for 5 seconds.Was Quirino that mad at Morana so he couldn't say anything more to her? Morana knew she was wrong, but Quirino had never been like this before.Seeing the gravity of the situation Morana was in, it wasn't impossible that this would become a cold war between them again."Where is Quirino?" Morana asked while handing back the man's cell phone, she wal
Suddenly Quirino took long steps and approached Morana in a hurry. He hugged her body tightly as if not wanting to let go again.There was something wrong with the way Quirino hugged her and buried his head in the crook of her shoulder."What is it?" Morana asked, becoming worried. "What happened with you?" She demands Quirino's explanation for his strange behavior.But Morana couldn't see Quirino's face and observe his expression, therefore she became very confused.Quirino should be angry with her, right? And instead, he was hugging her tightly like this, it was as if Morana had disappeared for years."A problem at work?" Morana gave an arbitrary guess, because that was the only reason that came to her mind."No." Quirino answered briefly."Is there a problem with the employees?" Morana kept trying to guess, maybe one of them was right."No.""With client?""No.""With Silvi?"Hearing Morana's guess this time, Quirino hissed disapprovingly. The woman's name alone was very disturbing
But, even so, Quirino felt that this was not the time for Morana to know that he already knew. Quirino still wants Morana to tell him the dark secret of her past, only then Quirino will feel that Morana really believes in him.Quirino could have found out this truth a long time ago, if it weren't for Morana's attitude of constantly keeping herself closed and not allowing him to know even a little about the problem that continues to haunt her, he would not have done this.Quirino would still wait until Morana told him herself, instead of secretly looking for information about her behind her back like this.But, unfortunately, he already knows now and he won't let the seven people enjoy their lives comfortably after what they did to Morana.There will be a time when they will cry blood at Quirino's hands."You don't eat?" Morana elbowed Quirino's arm. "Don't keep staring." Morana said while devouring these delicious prawns.She almost finished half of the dish."Just eat it yourself, ea
"Depression?" Daniel raised his eyebrows in disbelief, because Morana didn't look like someone who was depressed at all. What made her depressed? Seeing how Quirino treats Morana, there shouldn't be anything that can make her depressed, right?However, Daniel's thoughts were mere assumptions, he was not a graduate majoring in psychology to be able to know such psychological things."Yes." Doctor Sherry nodded her head. "With a tendency to BPD, Borderline Personality Disorder." she continued.Daniel, who didn't quite understand psychological terms, frowned in confusion. "What's that?" Apart from schizophrenia, Daniel is not aware of any other psychological illness.“BPD or borderline personality disorder, which is between schizophrenia and neurosis.” Doctor Sherry was silent for a few moments before continuing her words. "But you still need a few more counseling sessions to confirm this."It's not easy to diagnose psychiatric and mental illnesses like this, it takes a lot of time and a
The cold night wind stabbed to the bone, like tiny needles gnawing at Daniel's skin, but the young doctor still didn't want to move from the park bench where he sat with Doctor Sherry, even after Rania's mother had left.Yes, Doctor Sherry is the mother of Rania, the woman Daniel loves very much, who he cannot even forget even after so many years of being gone.9 years.It's been 9 years since Rania left him forever, but the image of her face is still present in Daniel's every dream and subconscious. Even sometimes Daniel can still hear her soft voice calling his name.'I wish we met sooner, so I could love you longer and create more sweet memories with you'Those were the last words that Rania spoke to him before she entered the operating table and never woke up again.Rania, the sweet girl who has captivated Daniel's heart since the first time he saw her.They attended the same high school but it wasn't until they entered grade 2 that Daniel began to notice Rania's presence.Startin
Morana woke up with sweat drenching her forehead, her eyes dazed looking around her dark surroundings.A panic attack hit her when she realized she wasn't in her own room, a place she recognized. Her heart was beating very fast from the fear of the dream she couldn't remember and the realization that she was in an unfamiliar place.But before her panic attacks could get any worse, flashes of yesterday's events flashed across her eyes.Morana who had her second counseling session with Doctor Sherry. Daniel who interrogated her in his office. Daniel's snarky remarks. The 10 billion money that Morana asked to leave Quirino…It's a strange feeling because the mood changes so quickly. Two big men sent by Quirino to pick him up. A magnificent villa belonging to the Wyatt family. Quirino's office. Dinner…It wasn't until Morana could breathe a sigh of relief that she could remember all of that.She wasn't in a strange place, but she was where Quirino lived, and wherever Quirino lived, it was
"Daniel?" Morana said the name of Quirino's older brother in a low voice, her eyes stared at the figure in disbelief.Why is Daniel here so early? Is he looking for Quirino?Daniel seemed to already know about Morana's whereabouts, because he didn't look surprised at all, then he casually sat right in front of her without saying a word or even greeting.Actually, Morana didn't have a problem with this nonchalant attitude, in fact it would have been better if they pretended they didn't know each other or didn't see each other after their brief conversation at Daniel's office while at the hospital.However, over time, the situation turned awkward, at least that's how Morana felt while Daniel was still cold and ignored Morana. He was busy with an expensive cell phone in his hand.The old woman still didn't come back even after 20 minutes had passed. What has she actually done so far? Even though Morana only asked for tea and biscuits, she should have returned long ago.Morana sighed heav
