Before Rudi opened the door to the room where the woman who wanted to meet him was waiting, he took a deep breath. His heart was beating fast. Cold sweat had been pouring down his forehead since he entered the lobby of this building. But he couldn't run away because the woman knew how to make him fulfill her call.“Come in,” said the voice in the room after Rudi knocked on the black painted wooden door in front of him.Once again, Rudi let out a long breath. “Miss Tiara,” Rudi called, trying to be as calm as possible. The room was quite large with windows overlooking the city from the 35th floor of the Jacob Group building. Tiara Jacob stood with her back to Rudi. Staring out the window as if it was a fun thing to do. The faint afternoon sunlight reflected off her jet-black hair, adding to the woman's cold and menacing air.Rudi trembled with horror at meeting Tiara for the umpteenth time.“What else do you want from me?” Rudi asked in a trembling voice despite his efforts to remain c
The room where Helena was treated had a living room that was often used for meetings and work in between her therapy and recovery. Helena doesn't like to waste her time crying about what has happened. She had to keep moving with the flow of life.The large window near the living room was her favorite place to spend time reviewing the files Wilna had brought. Like this afternoon, Helena sat leaning back on the sofa, her face looking stern even though her body was still recovering. Her right hand was busy flipping through the documents Wilna had just handed over, while her left hand slowly adjusted the eyeglasses above her nose. Her gaze was sharp, focused, and glued to the pages she was reading.“How's the court proceedings going?” asked Helena as she adjusted her glasses.“Aren't you tired?” asked Wilna with an irritated look. Since her arrival an hour ago, Helena had not stopped checking the many files she had submitted. Wilna and Thomas' remarks about Helena focusing more on her rec
contains violent and slightly suspenseful scenes. Please understand***Rudi's eyes slowly opened. His whole body felt broken and painful even just to move his hand, he cringed in pain. His gaze immediately scanned around. Rudi just found out that he was placed in an unfamiliar room. The room was dark, leaving only very minimal lighting, damp, and filled with something quite disturbing. Whether it was because this room was long unused or deliberately left like this, Rudi didn't know.“Where am I?” he asked as he tried to sit up. It was a little difficult for him to move because his legs were bound. The smell of blood and his sticky body made him remember what happened to him. “Ugh!” He massaged his temples.Rudi remembered, while on his way out of town at night, a car made him pull over because the way he was driving was very dangerous. He forgot one thing, however; Rudi had been targeted since he exited the freeway gate from the city center.At that moment, all he knew was... he was
Michael looked at Helena with a long sigh. In his hand was a file with information from the hospital where Helena had her prenatal check-ups. Although the name listed was no longer Helena Edison's, the file was issued based on valid data. The truth can be accounted for. As well as the laptop that had just displayed a video recognition from someone, who looked very messed up.Helena was initially shocked by the man's looks - bruised wounds around his face, a frightened look in his eyes, and a bloodstained shirt. But she struggled to keep up with what the man was saying.Michael repeatedly observed Helena's expression in case he wanted to end the interrogation, which was quite scary for Helena. For Michael, this was something he was used to doing for a variety of reasons.“As I suspected,” Helena said quietly, as she closed her laptop so as not to show the man with the terrifying face anymore. Helena tried to get the image of the man out of her mind. It looked horrible but it seemed tha
Tonight's banquet at Hanry Edison's luxurious mansion was special. Although it was originally called a small banquet, just to welcome Helena back from the hospital, the atmosphere created in the backyard was even more joyful than expected. The servants decorated the back garden area with elegant chandeliers. The cool evening breeze added to the cozy atmosphere. Classy guests could be seen enjoying light conversation as soft music played in the background.Michael, who was standing next to Helena, smiled and enjoyed the atmosphere. “Mr. Hanry is really hosting quite a banquet,” he commented as he raised his wine glass, his eyes looking around. There was a slight streak of fatigue on his face, although he was almost recovered, the brace on his arm was still a reminder that his condition was not completely back to normal.Helena smiled a little, looking back at Michael for a moment. “At least you look better now. But I'm sure this wine would taste better in a slightly quieter place.” She
“If I give you a warning, will you listen?” asked Michael as he removed his seat belt. The brace on his hand had been released. The doctor has also stated that the condition of Michael's hand is gradually recovering. Although for the time being, he will not be allowed to get behind the wheel. But at least he could move his hand normally again.Helena laughed from the back seat. She prepared to get off, but Michael didn't seem to like it when she was ahead of him. That's why Helena chose to wait until the car door opened for her. More correctly, Michael opened it for her. One of Michael's hands made sure that Helena's head did not hit the top of the car.“I'm just not going to work overtime, Michael. You don't have to worry.” Helena looked at Michael and smiled slightly. “I have Wilna to help me anyway, right?”“Somehow, I don't necessarily believe that you'll need that help. I'd believe it more if you were suddenly busy with meetings, pouring your energy into getting a lot of work don
Tiara sat on the plush sofa in the living room of the Tan family home. The part of the house she lives in is as comfortable as it was when she lived in her father's house. This was all given by Arslan as their wedding gift. At first Tiara felt very excited and so happy, but what she felt began to bother her and was no longer the same as when they first got in touch.But it doesn't matter. Tiara would patiently wait for the day when Arslan would depend on her again. There was no longer any desire from her husband to attract the attention of his ex-wife-Helena Edison. All Arslan would do was focus on her.“I think soon Arslan will come crawling to me,” she said as she leaned comfortably against the back of the sofa. He deliberately closes his eyes slowly to relax himself after being preoccupied for some time with matters that he thinks are important. All she had to do was wait for the final news and then... Tiara could breathe a sigh of relief.The notification sound on her cell phone m
Arslan's statement made Tiara look nowhere but at her husband. Whether the woman realized it or not, the smile on her lips was very thin. But it was followed by a cold and hurt-looking gaze. The disappointment in Arslan could not be masked at all. “You know, Arslan... sometimes I wonder if all this is worth that I have to sacrifice.”Arslan brought his body closer, leaving almost no distance between them. “Look at me, Tiara,” he said, pleading. He grasped his wife's hand again and rubbed it tenderly. Don't let Arslan miss the moment when the only support and party who can give a little gap, leaves him.“Tiara, I love you. You know clearly, everything I do is only for us. For our future together. If I get a much higher power than what I have now, won't you also get the impact?”Arslan didn't care if Tiara labeled him a shameless husband. “I want to give the best for your life. You know, I even thought of groveling in front of Helena. asking that woman back because what? She has an infl
“LOOK WHAT YOU DID!”King winced in pain. Occasionally rubbing his ear and his waist which he felt ... “My waist must be blue. My ear is about to fall off again. Not to mention my arm that got scratched by your nails. You really deliberately sharpened your nails to hurt me.”“Shut up!” Gadis pouted in annoyance. Even though she was wearing a seat belt, she deliberately raised her legs onto the passenger seat. Her eyes would not give a friendly look to the man sitting next to her. Controlling the steering wheel and concentrating a little on the road to Bogor. Also ... pressing the gas pedal a little because they wasted a lot of time because of the Forest King Kingkong.“Shut up, how?” Kingkong chuckled. ‘Besides, if the ring is already on your finger, you can't run away, Pasaraya.”“You're really a bastard, huh!”“What do you mean, bastard?’ King straightened his thick hair. He adjusted his seat a little and then concentrated on the steering wheel again. “Instead of you being angry all
Feeling like the center of attention again, King just laughed. “Oh my goodness, I'm sorry to bother you. Please continue. I'll just wait here.” But he walked over to Gadis's parents. He respectfully greeted them and then sat in the chair provided by Guy. “What's going on?” he asked in a half-whisper.“Gadis's ex-boyfriend is here. He wants his case dropped.” Lanang stared hatefully at the man, who was still flanked by his parents. ‘I just want to hit him!”King chuckled. ’Patience, bro. Patience. It doesn't always have to be solved with violence.”Tommy cleared his throat quite strongly. After the disturbance that came to interrupt them a little, he had to finish his business in this place immediately. He wouldn't waste any time because the lawyer who was helping Gadis's case kept urging the police to schedule a trial immediately. Tommy never imagined what would happen to Angga. How would his job go, wh
[King: We're leaving to Bogor at 2 pm. Lo, are you ready? I don't want to wait. Afandi, pick up Lisa. This meeting, no one should be late.]The message was sent when Gadis was already fast asleep. She had a beautiful dream in which she was in Banda Neira, enjoying how God created that place so beautifully. Gadis didn't want to end the dream right away. This weekend, she returned to her parents' house. She also prepared to attend a work meeting with several other GreenTech branch offices spread across several cities, although not as big as the one in Jakarta. But GreenTech continues to grow and spread its wings.There were several representatives from the King division who had to attend the meeting, including Lisa and Gadis. Risna had already been there a few months before Gadis joined GreenTech. Harry and Panji were in the same class as Risna at the work meeting.Luckily, Gadis was used to getting up early. Although reluctant to leave,
Even though it was Gadis's days at GreenTech again—fun and certainly busy besides having to keep arguing with King, there was also a lot of work she had to do. Especially related to King's latest project. Her boss and eternal enemy never gave her team a break to quickly finish what had been distributed. Among the most annoying things, King didn't tolerate mistakes.Gadis ... always had to endure King's anger because there was always something wrong. Even if it was small, for a perfectionist like King, it wasn't allowed to happen.“Damn it!” Gadis immediately pulled out her desk chair. ‘Damn you, Kingkong!’ she scolded as she sat down roughly, not caring that the sound of her butt hitting the seat was quite annoying. If only Gadis's weight was a bit too much, maybe the desk chair could break.“Hi,” Tania warned, giggling. ”Be patient, Dis. Be patient. Getting angry makes you age faster and realize how things feel.&r
“You really don't care if you make people miserable,” Lilo laughed excitedly. He even held his stomach, which suddenly cramped from laughing so much this afternoon. ”No wonder they call you crazy.”“Not crazy bucin, Lo,” interrupted Mario who didn't want to lose. ‘Bulol. Stupid bucin.”“I'm not stupid, huh,’ King snapped. ”I still have the sanity to behave normally, even though the situation is reversed according to what I want.”“Angga is the stupid one, Mario. You can't understand the situation, can you?” Lilo was still laughing at Mario's remark. “But people like Angga need to be taught a lesson. I haven't heard the latest news about the arrest of that guy.”“It won't be long before it gets out, you know.” King grinned slightly. The glass of soda was almost empty. He had no intention of refilling it, and anyway, there was only a plate left of his
“Aunty, I thought you were going to be a long time coming, Dis,” Priska approached Gadis who had just gotten out of the car. Her son's beloved vehicle, which no one was allowed to touch carelessly, was simply handed over by Gadis who appeared behind the wheel. Gadis's beautiful face made a big smile greet Priska's greeting.“King was so fussy, saying he didn't want to keep Auntie waiting,” replied Gadis, half grumbling. Originally, Gadis's lips were a little itchy because she called King by his real name. Being used to calling him Kingkong made Gadis feel uncomfortable. Even so, Gadis still knew how to behave, especially since she was dealing with King's mother.“That child,” Priska snapped. ”He shouldn't bother you when you're driving.”“Well, that's how his Auntie is.”Priska laughed. From the beginning of her acquaintance with Gadis and her strange relationship with her son, Priska had to rub
“Good afternoon.”Budi had expected that there would be guests coming to visit his house. Including two men in full uniform with attributes. There was no commotion, but it had attracted the attention of the neighbors. Because it seemed that the lawyer and the police who came to the house were not joking and were acting exactly like Gadis's words that had suddenly gone viral on various social media.“Good afternoon, sir.” Budi greeted them warmly. His wife did the same even though she looked frightened and worried. For a while, Sheila was not allowed to leave the house for her safety and to protect her from the bad things that could have happened.Before long, a conversation between them took place. Budi didn't want to draw too much attention by speaking as loudly as possible to cause a commotion. He wanted the matter to be resolved peacefully as soon as possible. If his child was indeed guilty, he had to take full responsibility because e
“All the reports and evidence that Ms. Gadis brought, I have submitted to the authorities. And I have also issued a summons to summon them and hold them accountable for their actions.” Albert looked furious after hearing Gadis's story during a casual conversation with Hendi just now.It's not that, in Albert's eyes, a man like Angga is nothing more than a coward hiding behind a sense of responsibility. Even though it was not a form of male responsibility, but rather the mental murder of a girl who sincerely loved him. Fortunately, Gadis Parasayu was able to escape Angga's clutches. Maybe that also made the man feel hurt and resentful of the treatment of his ex-lover. He felt that if he went viral with his past story with Gadis, it could attract sympathy and make Gadis be humiliated on social media.“Thank you very much, Mr. Albert.” Gadis looked at the man who she thought was about the same age as Mr. Ubud with a sympathetic look. ”I reall
“I don't know what to say, Dis,” said Manda, shaking her head in disbelief. ‘You are so lucky to be able to get away from that jerk. Oh my gosh, I can't imagine if you ended up marrying him.”“Terrified, aren't you?’ Lily rubbed her own shoulder to get rid of the sudden feeling of discomfort. ”But actually I feel sorry for him too.”“Me too, actually,” said Gadis quietly. ”I don't know if Sheila knows this or not, but clearly all the accounts that made reports on Twitter also caused a stir, and they came from her account. Lilo also helped to get the cellphone that was used and ... connected to the bastard.”“You really have to reply without thinking anymore, sir. It's too much in my opinion.” Manda said with great enthusiasm. Her eyes seemed to be blazing but not just to encourage Gadis, but to retaliate for whatever that jerk did.Assisted by Lilo and King, they tracked d
