I REPAY MY HUSBAND'S BETRAYAL [108]
“One of your wishes has come true, Helena,” Michael whispered.When Helena glanced at the man who had been at her side, there was a faint smile. It wasn't a smile that meant anything bad. It was a smile that celebrated the joy of what had happened. It was a smile that symbolized the satisfaction that represented Helena for today.“Are you satisfied?” Michael asked once again.“I don't know. Can it really be called satisfaction and joy? But one thing I'm sure of is that I can at least maintain Nakia's dignity in front of the public. I don't want them to look down on Nakia like that just because I was seen in public?”Michael chuckled. “I think your name is starting to be talked about in the ranks of other businessmen, Helena. You weren't afraid to face them even though you could have used your father's influence. But you chose a different path.”Helena smiled slightly. Once again her attention was drawn to the two people still standing in the corner of the room. It seemed that there we

Even though everything was over, there were no more voices of other people with cameras or mics asking endless questions, as well as some things that made his head dizzy, for Arslan all this really made him want to immediately sit down and lean back. If possible, just lay down for a moment. While thinking what steps he would do.“Please.” One of the officers opened the door for Arslan and Deny. They were temporarily in the same cell. Before later they were placed in special cells for prisoners related to corruption cases and other criminal offenses.“Tsk! Does the room you have to be this narrow?” asked Deny Jacob in an annoyed tone. “You know, I have a history of asthma. If my asthma flares up, I'll make sure you pay dearly.”The officer just grinned. “We're sorry. If your asthma flares up, the doctor here is willing to examine you. You can rest easy.”Deny growled in annoyance and pushed Arslan who was slightly blocking his way to the small room where they would be staying temporari

“Have a seat, Mr. Tan,” the doctor said, inviting Arslan to sit down after entering a room that was quite far apart from the operating room.Due to Arslan's status as one of the detainees, there were two supervisory officers following him. But Arslan had no desire to cause trouble in this hospital. The only thing that bothered him was Tiara's condition. According to the doctor, her condition was quite alarming.Even so, the surgery process that his wife underwent went quite smoothly. But why did the doctor who handled Tiara call him? Isn't that an indication that something quite alarming is happening?“Thank you, Doc.” Arslan tried to remain calm.Meanwhile, the doctor seemed to be busy taking some files before finally sitting in front of Arslan. “I'm glad that the surgery that Mrs. Tiara underwent ended well.” His face was serious, bringing new tension in the midst of an atmosphere that was not yet completely calm. “But there's still a phase that Ibu Tiara has to go through before it

Meanwhile in the hospital waiting room, Deny Jacob could not contain his frustration. This condition made him even more depressed and uncomfortable. He felt like a stranger trapped in a place that didn't belong to him. Moreover, this was a hospital. He hated places where the smell of medicines and disinfectants was strong.“How long will I wait here?” asked Deny as he ruffled his hair. He no longer thought about his appearance especially since he officially wore the prisoner's uniform. Ignoring the fact that he had always paid attention to how neatly he was dressed.“Be patient, Mr. Deny,” said the lawyer accompanying Deny Jacob and Arslan Tan. “The doctor and Mr. Tan are still talking about Mrs. Tiara's condition.”Deny let out a long sigh. “Did something really bad happen to my daughter?”The lawyer smiled slightly. “Nothing, Mr. Deny. But you'd better calm down. Some of the supervisors who came along are also keeping an eye on your behavior while you're out of custody.”Deny snorte

Two weeks have passed since the court verdict against Arslan and Deny Jacob. Despite their verdicts, news of the Tan family scandal still reverberates across the media. The family, once known as one of the most respected families, was now the subject of public scrutiny and speculation on various platforms. Helena found her phone screen full of notifications for online articles about the family's troubles.“Thomas really doesn't let his quarry off easy.” Helena chuckled. Her eyes remained fixed on her phone. While taking a sip of the coffee she had ordered, her fingers skillfully swiped across the flat screen of her sophisticated gadget. Reading one news story after another that tirelessly talked about the downfall of the Tan family.It seemed Helena wasn't the only one interested in keeping up with the news about the Tan family. Oh, my. Helena had never thought of helping the family out of the trouble they were in. Why wouldn't she be so busy with Nakia and the many work programs she

“I don't know what your plans are with Mr. Tommy, but it seems a little serious?” Wilna asked in a cautious tone. She didn't want to make Helena uncomfortable because this question was a slight reference to Tiara and Helena's ex-husband Arslan Tan.“I don't know. What angle do you see it from. Whether it's serious or not,” Helena said casually. Her eyes were still focused on the files in front of her. A few times she also sighed and re-centered herself so that what she wanted could be done immediately by all the staff who worked together under her orders. “What about the marketing team's research? Any problems?”“Nothing so far. In a month we can prepare for the launch of the newest unit.” Wilna smiled broadly. “Our hard work is finally paying off.”“That's to be expected, isn't it?” Helena let out a long sigh. She took off her glasses and closed her eyes a little just to get rid of the fatigue she was experiencing. “Maybe things didn't work out the way I wanted them to but seeing how

A month has passed since the birth of a baby boy named Andy Tan, a child who is now the only light in Tiara's stressful life. The baby makes Tiara happy even though she is still physically weak, and her movements are limited due to the difficult labor process. She never imagined not being able to meet the child she had conceived.When she first saw the baby, Tiara cried non-stop for several minutes. Besides being touched, Tiara felt grateful that for the first time there was something that made her feel more alive. The doctor suggested that Tiara should take a lot of rest and maintain a good diet. Tiara's condition was quite life-threatening after giving birth some time ago.Thankfully, everything has passed and Tiara can return home feeling happy. Although it is incomplete without Arslan's presence, Tiara tries to accept it. Although there are many pressures in Tiara's life now, she feels that the most stressful thing is not only the postpartum recovery - but also the presence of Mir

A week has passed since Tiara received a summons from the police regarding Helena's accident. Tiara's days since then have been filled with endless anxiety. The fear and anxiety that gnawed at her mind affected everything, including her health and comfort while sleeping.Tiara couldn't even close her eyes peacefully; images of bad possibilities kept haunting her, keeping her awake at night. I don't know how many times she had nightmares and woke up in the middle of the night, then could no longer close her eyes just to sleep for a moment. Even the sleeping pills prescribed by the doctor had little effect. Her anxiety even affected her little baby, Andy, who cried constantly as if he could sense his mother's anxiety.This morning, when Andy started crying again, Tiara woke up with a heavy head and puffy eyes. She got out of bed, looked at Andy crying in his bed, but her body felt so tired. She felt like everything around her was spinning and out of focus. Tiara even had to hold onto th

The next morning, Helena woke up feeling much lighter and calmer. In fact, if Helena were to be honest, it was one of her best mornings ever. Waking up to a window with a beautiful, serene view of the city. The air was cool and made Helena feel at home on the balcony of her room.Today Helena planned to visit a museum that exhibited some famous artworks and if she was lucky, Helena wanted to bring one of them (if it sold) for her collection or to gift a client who loved artworks. It was for the benefit of her company as well since Helena did not rule out gift-giving as a strategy to make the partnership work.“I think it's time for me to go,” Helena said as she organized her small bag. She didn't want to leave anything behind. Today her father was not accompanying her. There was an invitation to lunch with an old acquaintance and of course, they discussed some important matters. It wasn't that Helena didn't want to be involved but she wanted to make the most of her time in Switzerland

“Good evening, Mr. Hanry and Helena,” Alaric greeted in a polite tone. He was waiting for Helena and her father to come out of the hotel for dinner. As per his promise to take them to one of the recommended restaurants not far from the hotel where they were staying.“The police chief isn't as busy as I thought,” Helena said with a laugh. She thanked Alaric for his concern just before he invited her to get into the car. Her father was already inside and sitting comfortably.“I've been busy but I've put in a lot of time to entertain you. When else will you visit this place?” Alaric laughed lightly. “Or are you planning to visit again?”“I don't know yet.”“Or... you, Mr. Hanry? I feel very honored to meet you in person. Many of the things I've heard about the Edison Group being what it is today are all thanks to you.”Hanry laughed. “I haven't kept up with the Edison Group for a long time. My son is doing well, I'm just an old man waiting for my bank account to fill up with the company'

Helena stood in the room with her suitcase open in front of her. Some of her clothes seemed to be scattered on the big bed, as well as some other necessities that she had to put in the suitcase. Occasionally, she looked out the window, where the mansion's garden looked green and beautiful.“Miss Helena, what else do you need?” asked Vania, the maid who assisted Helena during her stay at the main house.“I don't know, I'm confused,” Helena chuckled in disbelief. “I haven't traveled like this in a long time.”“I'll help you and make sure you don't leave anything behind while you're abroad.”“Thank you Vania.” At least Vania's words relieved her. “Don't forget my hairdyer. In case it's not provided there, I'm too lazy to find a new hairdryer.”“Yes, Miss Helena.”Hanry entered after knocking on the door.“Papa?” Helena looked surprised not by her father's arrival but by what was in his hand. “Let me carry it. Why don't you ask the servants to bring it here?” Helena grumbled. Hanri brough

“What's got you in such a mood?” asked Wilna after returning from lunch. In her hand was the cup of coffee Helena had ordered. At first, she thought she would hear an exciting story from Helena about her meeting with her future in-laws. But there seemed to be something wrong here.Helena, who was originally cheerful, looked somber.“Nothing,” Helena said with a fake smile.Wilna raised one eyebrow, not believing Helena's words. She sat on the sofa in front of Helena and offered her the coffee she had brought. “Oh, come on, you can't fool me. How long have I known you?” Wilna asked as she savored her cup of coffee. “Your face looks more pathetic than any tragic play I've ever seen.”Helena just sighed as she took the coffee and sat next to Wilna. The heat that the coffee cup brought to her palm made Helena hold it tighter. She hoped Wilna would give up and stop asking questions. But who was she trying to fool? This was Wilna-the friend who could always get her to talk, even when she di

Six months had passed since all the drama.“Is there a follow-up meeting?” Helena asked Wilna who was still going through some files. Because of Helena's question just now, Wilna looked up and stared at her best friend and boss. She seemed to think before she finally spoke.“I don't think so. Besides, all your dealings with the production and marketing teams have been handled by Gio. He's reliable.”Helena chuckled. “But afterward, he must have complained about a lot of things, especially that he couldn't go back to his apartment because he had too much work at Nakia.”Wilna spluttered. “Who told him to live so far away from the office?”“Sometimes I feel sorry for Gio. He's adapting a lot to his surroundings but there's no denying it, if that's what you have to do. Right?”Wilna nodded enthusiastically. “Should we ask him to transfer? Gio is a potential employee for Nakia, Helena. Do you know how much of an impact he could have on Nakia's survival?”“I know,” Helena replied immediate

I really wanted to get rid of this uncomfortable feeling. Even though the vibe was quite relaxed and the song I was listening to was pleasant, it still felt awkward.“Where are we going, sir?” I asked. For the longest time. His answer? Just a big smile and a mischievous grin. Typical of a man named Thomas Edison. More often than not, he was annoying with his multiple desires, dizzying with so many detailed things he wanted, not to mention that sometimes he acted like a sulking five-year-old.I don't understand why so many people admire him. I know he has extraordinary capacity as a leader. But... I guess that's a performance Thomas often gives in front of many people. In front of me? It's a different story.Just like this afternoon. Even though his meeting schedule with Sofie had been arranged in such a way. It was a little difficult to contact the woman in the middle of her busy schedule with the launch of the new product she was managing. Sofie Ansela, the daughter of a rich family.

“Why is this happening to me?” I grumbled with a grumpy face. Really, dinner this time made me sick. Plus, Lily hasn't come home yet because she has work to finish immediately. At least if Lily joins us at the table, I can hold my temper a bit.What exactly is this asshole doing?“You don't have to bother bringing us a lot of food like this, Charles.”I heard my aunt speak in a friendly tone that was so sincere. Charles brought two large paper bags with the logo of a famous restaurant as gifts. I saw them as useless items in this house. Aunt Merry had prepared a separate dish for dinner.I stirred the food on my plate with no intention of actually eating it. Several times Aunt Merry offered me various delicious dishes at the dining table, but I refused. Really, I didn't want to eat the food Charles had brought for dinner this time.Uncle's voice talking about the house renovation plan sounded like the buzzing of mosquitoes in my ears. I only replied as needed, one or two words that I

Thomas really made me do a shitty morning activity. I had to wake up early, missing breakfast with Aunt Merry just to pick him up at the apartment. Ridiculously, I couldn't refuse not because I didn't have the courage. I saw that Thomas was really busy with his files. So... what that man was asking for wasn't just an excuse.He needs my help.So here I am now. Choosing a suit that suits him-tie, cufflinks, watch, and shoes. It must all match, or else I will get him angry. That's also why I had to take the time to study colors. It must be because the stuff in Thomas's clothes comes in a variety of colors.“Your clothes are ready,” I half shouted. I couldn't possibly talk in front of Thomas' bathroom door. Ugh! After sorting the clothes, I glanced at the dining table where there was nothing but a slice of bread with no jam on it.“How can he have so much energy with just two slices of bread?” I said as I opened the fridge. I took out the eggs, sliced beef, lettuce, tomato, and cucumber

“Damn,” I grumbled with an annoyed step. The encounter with Charles had completely ruined my mood. I was hungry but because of the argument, my taste buds just disappeared. I had to fill my stomach immediately because my job as Helena's replacement could not be taken lightly.Along the way to Helena's room, I kept thinking about that shameless Charles. God, he showed me a very bad side. And I felt that the sadness and disappointment that my marriage had failed was not as bad as it seemed. I was indeed sad, because what I wanted and longed for had come to an abrupt end. With an affair that I never expected.But the more days I pass, the more grateful I am that the failure happened.Including the incident this afternoon.Perhaps because I was too busy with thoughts that didn't lead to work, I had unknowingly stepped closer to Helena's office. The elevator that took me to my floor destination also seemed to be moving quickly. Unfortunately... I haven't put anything in my stomach as food.
