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
“Finally,” Tiara said with a sigh of relief. “I should have done this a long time ago.” She looked around her house, which looked deserted.Tiara was starting to feel a little peace in her life after Mirna and Yori left. With the two new maids she had hired to help take care of Andy, her little baby, the atmosphere at home had become much calmer.“I didn't expect them to be so annoying.” Tiara let out a long sigh. “It's really only sweet at first.”“Madam, what would you like to have for lunch?”Tiara turned her head and looked at the new waitress who started working yesterday afternoon. Since Mirna and Yori had left, Tiara had hired two additional people to help her. No, she didn't. Even when Mirna and Yori were around, they didn't do much in the house to help out. After all, there were already specialized servants hired to serve in this house. But Tiara decided to really focus on taking care of Andy and herself first.She could now focus not only on Andy, but also on the business af
"Sign this document," Arslan said matter-of-factly. He entered the magnificent two-story house he'd worked so hard to build."What's the file, darling?" asked Helena in amazement. She was holding a tray of dinner she had prepared for her husband."Our divorce papers."The tray fell over. It made a disturbing noise and scattered a lot of broken glass. But none of this bothered Helena. The only thing that kept her from looking away was Arslan, who gave her a disgusted look."You are careless," Arslan scolded when he saw how much was scattered. "Rina!" he called to one of the servants in the house. Hurriedly, the woman named Rina came to them. Arslan's orders were things that had to be done immediately. If they didn't, they would face his wrath and a long lecture."Could you be more careful?" he reproached Helena. "Do you think what you have in your hands was bought for nothing?" Arslan glared disapprovingly. He gave Helena a look of annoyance, irritation and disgust.As if... Helena was
"Did you hear what Arslan wanted, Helena?"Helena turned her head to the source of the voice. Mirna's voice had been friendly and welcoming, but now? It was harsh, unfriendly, and gave the impression that Helena was someone who needed to be removed from this house immediately."But what Arslan wants is a divorce, mother," Helena said, still trying to speak politely. She had been taught since childhood to always speak politely and to respect the people around her. Even though Mirna's attitude made Helena more and more angry and disrespectful, she tried to bear it."So?" Mirna approached Helena immediately. "Why didn't you grant my son's wish?"Helena blinked in disbelief. She thought there was still some normal thinking left in her mother-in-law's head. Unfortunately, this was not the case. Instead, Helena got the impression that she was the one in the corner. It was clear from the look in Mirna's and Yori's eyes that they wanted Helena to leave the house immediately."Did you hear wha
A white sports car pulled into the yard of the two-story house where his girlfriend lived. A bespectacled man with a gentle, warm gaze got out of the car and walked confidently. He had hung his white suit neatly in the back seat. Don't wrinkle it, he doesn't like it. But his steps were stopped when he heard a commotion from inside the house."What's going on?" he asked with a deep frown. "Should... I go in now?"Suddenly he heard the sound of a heavy blow. The man had to shake his head in amazement and curiosity. And as soon as he stood in the doorway, he found an ominous scene. A woman had been struck hard on the cheek. Had he not remembered his purpose for coming to this house, he would have quickly gone to help the woman.To him, a man should never hit a woman. He was truly angry at a man who could do that to a woman."Ah... you've finally arrived, my love!"The scream made Michael realize where he was. He couldn't help but smile at the beautiful woman who came to him. He returned
