After cleaning my face in the bathroom, I quickly returned to my room.
Dugh!
I winced at bumping into someone. Looking down while walking is not good, and your forehead hurts when you rub it.
"Are you ok?" The bass sound made me look up at Aiden's familiar voice.
He stared worriedly while I quickly hugged him. It doesn't matter if you're still in the office; you really can't stand the pain anymore.
"What's wrong, Netta?" he whispered while rubbing my back.
No longer able to speak, I just cried in his arms.
"What is it, honey?" he said again softly.
I let go of his hug to wipe away the tears. Now my face is not messy anymore. Aiden's soft hand stroked my wet cheek.
"Calm down. Everything is fine," he said, making me smile sweetly.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Aiden," I said when I realized where we were right now.
I immediately distanced myself from Aiden and asked permission to go to my room. Aiden was still looking at me with confusion, but never mind. It's also impossible to tell her everything that happened. I finally arrived at my oversized chair and slightly repaired the facial makeup that had been wiped off by my tears.
"Hey, Lo, why?" Sonya popped her head from behind her cubicle, which happened to be next to mine.
"I'm fine, Sonya. I'm just a little tired," I replied.
"Are you sick?" he asked, sounding worried.
"No, it's not like that. Just a little tired today," I replied as quickly as I could before he sent the marketing division into a tailspin with his worries.
"You better rest, or maybe you want some hot tea?"
I shook my head and thanked him for his concern. Sonya finally chose to sit back in her chair.
The image came back. He pinned me up, his hands touching my face, the words in his voice always ringing in my ears.
God, why did it have to be like this? Why did he come back when my life was peaceful with Aiden and Regan? Why did he so easily return to take over and dominate everything? God, I can no longer tolerate any of this.
I rubbed my face in exasperation until my reverie was broken when I heard the sound of an incoming message on my cell phone.
Aiden
You are okay, right?
I'm really not calm and worried about you leaving like that.
I realized that this was too much to make Aiden worry. I immediately replied to Aiden's message and said that I was fine; I was just thinking about Regan. After replying to Aiden's message, I focused back on the work that was waiting for me and tried to banish all the images from my mind.
It was already five o'clock in the afternoon; that was a sign that you could go home. All the equipment that was scattered on the table was cleared, and I immediately grabbed the bag. An incoming message. A message from Aiden said he was working overtime because he had a meeting at half past seven with several of the company's shareholders. I understand,, and will go home alone. Aiden has been really busy lately. So it's no wonder he rarely comes to the house or walks me home.
After a while, I also noticed that I didn't see Sonya. Where is he? Usually, if I don't go home with Aiden, he will immediately take me home using the bus or taxi. However, who knows where the child is now? I rushed into the elevator that opened to go down, waited a moment, thinking, Everything passed so fast, then the elevator door opened. I walked into the office lobby and towards the door. However, my steps stopped when I saw that the rain was so heavy outside. I didn't know what to do because I didn't have an umbrella with me, and I couldn't wait for the rain to stop because Regan would be waiting for me.
I had to go through the rain using a bag as a head protector. It nevertheless continued to run along the sidewalk in the wind-swept, heavy rain in order to reach the bus stop.
"Ahh!"
Before I got to the bus stop, I screamed because a luxury car splashed a pool of muddy water all over my clothes. The luxury car stopped in front of me, and soon the driver got out of the car using a black umbrella. My hands clenched even tighter when I saw Davero approaching."Oops. Sorry, Agnes. I really didn't do it on purpose," he said innocently as he stood in front of me.I just snorted in annoyance because I didn't want to respond to anything and chose to leave immediately."Agnet!" Davero said, while I flinched as my wrist was grabbed by him. "Come in! I'll take you."I waved my hand vigorously in refusal and said, "No need, sir. Thank You. Excuse me."I rushed to leave, but again he took my arm. "As your boss, I order you to get in the car, Agneta!" said Davero with such pressure that it was hard for me to swallow.Like it or not, I obeyed his orders by getting into the car. He caught up and threw his umbrella into the backseat, quickly getting ready to drive the car. This he
Davero sat and stared intently at one point in front of him. His hand gripped a cocktail glass with a little ice mixed in. His memory drifted to the incident at Agneta's house. That kid, Regan, There was another feeling that Davero could feel, but he didn't know what was going on. The touch of Regan's tiny hand seemed to be able to reach his cold and dark heart. Davero had never liked small children, but the boy was an exception for him.He took out his cell phone and called someone to give orders."Find out about his life and report it to me immediately!"The line was then hung up, and Davero gulped down his drink before he heard a shriek."You're having a great time relaxing here, while I have to finish all the damn work!""Aiden?" he muttered."Well, it's me! I did not come as your representative in the company! I came as your cousin, and stop keeping me busy!""You are more mature and experienced than me. So it's natural for you to finish everything."Dave said it casually as he p
"Are you sure that she is the girl from your past, Dave?" asked Kay when she was in her superior's room."Are you doubting me, Kay?" asked Davero in a cold tone."It's not like that, but..." Key did not continue his words."Are you two uncomfortable working with me?" Davero asked, annoyed."You're taking things too seriously, Boss!" Key replied with a wry smile."Yes, don't take it too personally, Boss!" Kay said calmly, all of which made the corners of Dave's lips lift."Find out about Agneta's life, who is her husband and her child's biological father, understand?" Dave asked to make sure once again and made his two friends nod."Yes alright. We'll start right away, Boss. So don't worry, all matters are handled by experts." Kay and Key smiled, looking at each other."Seeing you guys like that actually looks so cute and adorable," Davero commented with a grin."Then we'll excuse you," said Kay, to which Key nodded, and they smiled wryly.The two of them stepped out of the room and a
Davero had just finished meeting with a client outside the office. Now he was in his limousine on the way home. His eyes stared out the car window; he recognized the road through Agneta's house and accidentally caught the figure of the little boy he had met a few days ago, Regan. The child was seen sitting on a swing in a deserted park. Davero immediately asked the driver to stop the car. He quickly smoothed down the front of his jacket before getting off to approach Regan."Not picked up yet?"Regan turned around; her round eyes, so cute and adorable, stared at Davero."Uncle?" Regan tried to remember a name.Davero, do you still remember?" asked Dave, making the boy nod enthusiastically."Uncle, Mother's work friend," Regan said with a lisp, which made Davero smile."Why are you alone?" Davero asked, still smiling.This is a rare occurrence, even very rare. Davero's figure smiled at a child, remembering the fact that Davero had never liked any child."Aunt Ilen hasn't picked up Egan
Agneta is restless at home. He had been tired of crying since hearing the last news from Iren. He was forced to go home early from work when he heard the news that Iren couldn't find Regan at school. Iren was indeed late picking her up because the motorcycle taxi that used to take her arrived late, but when she got there, it turned out that the school was empty and Regan wasn't around. Agneta had even gone there and looked for him, but she still couldn't find Regan. Agneta also contacted Aiden, but Aiden was having a meeting with Mr. Oktavio and said he would come right away when the meeting was over."Regan, where are you now?" sobbed Agnes.His heart pounded in pain. He had never lost Regan like this. Bad thoughts kept churning in her mind, especially now that cases of child kidnapping were rife, making Agneta even more worried and weak.Agneta's breath caught when she heard Regan's laughter. He ran out of the house, shouting the name of his baby. However, her eyes widened when she
At that time, Aiden and Agneta were in the car heading to the office. Aiden asked about Regan's condition because, when he picked up Agneta's house, he didn't meet Regan."He is fine and remains as cheerful as ever. I already told Regan not to accept solicitations from anyone, including my co-workers." Agnes explained.Agneta is still upset when she remembers that Regan left with Davero yesterday without anyone knowing. Agneta felt anxiety still lingering in her mind."But I didn't know that in our office there is an employee named Vero, especially in your division." Aiden was still surprised, and that made Agneta a little confused, and her tongue felt numb to answer."He is not an employee in the office. Maybe I misspoke. He was a friend of mine when we were in school, and recently it was a coincidence that we met again," said Agneta without wanting to look at Aiden."Oh, I see?" Aiden tries to believe him, especially since Agneta has never lied to him."Yes," said Agneta, turning to
Agneta came to the office feeling lethargic; she had to go alone because Aiden had no news from last night. He had just landed his ass on the chair, and Sonya immediately popped her head from behind the cubicle."Your face is so gloomy. Are you sick or have a problem?" asked Sonya, while Agneta just took a deep breath. "Well, he took a really long breath; it felt really heavy like that.""I don't know," answered Agneta casually.It's clear that Aiden's mother disapproves of his relationship with Aiden, and that makes Agneta's feelings for Aiden shrink again. Her heart, which had begun to open and accept Aiden, was now slowly closing again. At first, he wanted to protect Aiden from Davero, but if this were the case, then it seemed he would only suffer more."Well, even dumbfounded. What's the problem, anyway?" asked Sonya, who had now entered Agneta's cubicle by pulling up her chair to sit near Agneta."I'm just thinking about work. Now we are holdi
Davero steered his car down a quiet street and unbuckled his seat belt, then changed his seat to face Agneta."Leave him, or I will force you to leave him!" asked Davero, glaring angrily."You have no right to interfere in my life, Davero!" retorted Agneta fiercely.Dave leaned even more in front of the evasive Agneta and was cornered against the door."You forgot, Agnes. You are mine! Only mine! Both then and now and later Forever, you are mine.""I am not yours and will never belong!" Agneta's words were stopped because Dave immediately covered Agneta's lips.Agneta continued to struggle with Davero's greedy kiss by hitting his back to break free, but the kiss softened and hypnotized Agneta. Undeniably deep inside his heart, he longed for this touch. The touch that always managed to hypnotize him and make all his organs soften and follow Davero's orders"You remember, you are liquid, and I am solid. You will always follow me, Agneta
Renata anxiously awaited the man, who the doctor was treating separately. After waiting a few minutes, he came out with the doctor and saw his jacket tucked in his arm, with his left arm bandaged."It's finished?" she asked."Already. Just being fried is not a serious wound. Next time, be careful. There are a lot of thieves around," he said."Thank you very much, Master.""Bastian," he said."Oh yes, Mr. Bastian. I am Renata, and this is my sister-in-law," said Renata."Angela," said Angela, shaking hands with Bastian."You already helped me earlier; how can I repay your help?" she asked."If we meet again, I will collect it," said Bastian, showing his charming smile."I must leave immediately."Renata wanted to speak again, but Bastian had already left the place."Ah, why did he leave so quickly, even though I haven't gotten his cellphone number yet?" Renata said it with a red face."You like it?" asked Angela, who had only been paying attention."His face is handsome, and the look i
Regan, Angela, and Renata have arrived in Denpasar, Bali. They were picked up by someone who brought them to a pavilion near Seminyak Bali Beach in Badung."Wow!" Angela exclaimed, seeing the pavilion close to the beach. So luxurious. Several maids greeted their arrival and immediately carried their cases."Well, how are you, my nephew?" That exclamation made Regan, Angela, and Renata look at the source of the sound. There were several people following a middle-aged man with glasses on his nose."Uncle Key," Regan said, shaking hands with the man who was Davero's father's confidant. "How are you, Roy?""Tsk, thanks to Bang Regan, I'm not doing my course work and overtime," Roy replied, making Regan smile a little.Roy is the son of Key, and he is a very reliable hacker. Even though he is still 20 years old and is currently completing his studies at a university in Bali,."Uncle twins. Where's Uncle Kay?" Renata asked, shaking the man."He's on business. It will come later," said Key.
Angela went down the stairs. When he woke up, Regan was not there beside him. Angela walked towards the kitchen, where Agneta was busy cooking with the household assistant there."Are you awake, son?" asked Agneta with a motherly smile."Yes Bun. Erm, did you see Regan?" she asked."He's jogging, usually to the upper area," explained Agneta, making Angela nod in understanding."Sit down. Mother will make hot tea for you," said Agneta.Ah, no need to bother, Bun.""It does not matter. Sit down," said Agneta, and Angela could only obey while playing on her cellphone, where she was chatting with Rita."Drink," said Agneta, who now took a seat opposite Angela."Thank you, Bun.""Equally love. How was your sleep? rest well?"Yes, Bun, it's quite cool and comfortable here," said Angela."I'm grateful.""Emm Renata is not visible. Is he out?" she asked."Yes. Today is his first day doing COAS," explained Agneta.Oh, Renata is doing koas here." Angela thought she'd be doing koas in London bec
Angela nodded in understanding. Angela only got to know the Regan family when they got married. Aunt Devara is the twin of Regan's father, Davero. Dan Devara is the mother of Calvin, who serves as GM at Regan's company.The car stopped in front of the villa's courtyard, where everyone welcomed them.Angela and Regan both got out of the car."Sis Angela…" Renata first hugged Angela very happily.Then Angela shook hands and hugged Agneta and Devara. Angela shook hands with Dave and also with Kevin, who is Devara's husband.They immediately invited Angela to enter the villa and escorted them both to Regan's room."This is your room," Angela said, looking around. There was a window made of glass, and inside was a miniature Batman with various poses."You like Batman?" asked Angela, approaching the window."Yes, since I was little, I liked to collect them," said Regan, who walked over to Angela and hugged her from behind. Regan kissed Angela's long neck in front of him."Regan…""I missed
Angela was enjoying soaking in soapy water and a massage with aromatherapy in the Jacuzzi. He closed his eyes and enjoyed the treatment.He gasped in surprise when someone joined him. Angela opened her eyes, and her gaze immediately met the sharp eyes of someone who was in front of her at close range."You're not asking me," he said, making Angela smile."You're sleeping," Angela said.Regan kissed Angela on the lips and took a seat beside her. He brought Angela to sit in front of him and let him rest her head on his broad chest. They enjoyed being together by playing with the soap bubbles that filled the Jacuzzi.Neither of them spoke; they both enjoyed each other's company.***Regan and Angela welcomed Ansel there with his colleagues by helicopter."Wow, the faces of the newlyweds are so bright," teased Ansel, who was now standing in front of Regan, who was embracing Angela casually."You really suck at the little cat's juices. So many red marks," he teased when he saw Angela's nec
Regan called someone. Through his cell phone. The body and the bomb had been wrapped in a large plastic bag and kept outside the house.Angela brought a cup of coffee for Regan and kept it on the table."Hello Roy.""….""I have a job for you.""….""Hack again, a subsidiary of Maettheree; lower the share price; let it drop," Regan said with a grin."….""Just do it."Regan hung up on him. Angela was still staring at Regan in confusion."Why?" Regan asked, raising an eyebrow."You want to destroy someone's company?" asked Angela, quite surprised, and Regan just chuckled."This is a new subsidiary company. At least a few million dollars in loss," Regan answered lightly."That's not bad," Angela said, making Regan chuckle again."That's payback for him, who has disturbed our honeymoon. Come sit down; let's watch an exciting show," Regan said, patting the sofa beside him.Angela took a seat beside Regan. They both looked at the laptop screen in front of them."Gosh, there are so many peo
BritainBenneit was reading some of the reports that Aluna had given him at the office. Soon there was a knock on the door."Enter…"Gilberd appeared there. Seeing Gilberd's presence, Aluna said goodbye and left Benneit's room."What is it?" asked Benneit as Gilberd took a seat across from Benneit."I've managed to find out who Fergus's supporters are," Gilberd said, and Benneit listened seriously."This really can't be taken lightly.""Who?""Mr. Julian from Switzerland." Benneit fell silent after hearing Gilberd's narrative. Mr. Julian is a big beacon for Britain and a big competitor for Gonemanus. Julian was no one else either; the man was Benneit and Dave's college friend. Something happened in the past between his family and the Wiratama family."Ben-?""Send some guards to the island where Regan and Angela are on their honeymoon. I'm afraid Julian will send assassins to their place," Benneit said, to which Gilberd nodded."I have to tell Dave.""So far, I haven't seen any movem
After breakfast, Angela ran to Regan, who was on the beach."I'm ready," Angela said, making Regan turn around, and he was quite surprised to see Angela wearing a sexy bikini with a thin cloth tied around her waist."Where are you going wearing clothes like that?" Regan asked, looking at his wife, who looked seductive. Black glasses perched on her head, and her hair was in beautiful, loose waves."I want to swim, like you promised yesterday. Today we didn't swim because it was fun playing on a speed boat," said Angela, turning her face red."Are there no other clothes?" she asked."Come on, Regan. At first, I didn't want to wear a swim suit.""What?" Regan looked irritated."He he… I knew you would be furious; that's why I put on this bikini. After all, it's just the two of us on this island.""Okay. I'll let you this time," Regan said, making Angela nod happily.They boarded the speed boat, and Regan returned to driving it."Regan, I want to ride it," Angela said.Regan pulled Angela
That morning, Angela woke up first and left Regan, who was still asleep. He plans to cook breakfast for both of them. Angela turned on music from her cell phone and started preparing all the ingredients to make breakfast. He also took out flour to make bread.Angela started working on it and got flour stuck to her cheeks. Somehow it stuck to her face, maybe because Angela was too passionate about cooking.Regan came out of the room wearing only boxer shorts and shirtless. He saw his wife so engrossed in dancing and singing along with the song. Regan smiled at Angela's adorable behavior. Angela is seen wearing Regan's oversized white shirt, where the arms are folded up to the elbows. Her long hair was rolled up to reveal her slender neck.Angela was seen mixing the dough in a fairly large place. He squealed in surprise when strong hands hugged him from behind and joined in stirring the dough with sensual movements as if to provoke Angela."Already up?" she asked."Hmmm…" Regan snorted
