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
A whole week has passed since Helena returned to her office. Although she is rarely seen working overtime, Helena has a lot of work to do. This includes preparing for the next court hearing, which will be held in two days. A trial in which each party submits an expert witness to provide a detailed explanation of the disputed program.Gio had already provided explanations that Helena felt made sense to open the perspectives of the witnesses as well as the judge and prosecutor as they delved into Nakia's prosecution. Helena was confident that she would win this trial and Intel Corp could get a decision soon, especially regarding Arslan Tan.When Gio gave an explanation, many were amazed and did not expect that what the young man said was enough to be used as a weapon to fight back against Intel who continued to refute many things about Nakia's charges. Including that the program Intel Corp was working on for Nakia was far from the original agreement. This could be taken into considerati
Tommy sat behind a desk with many files piled up in front of him. The one that took up most of his concentration was the file from Helena Edison. Tommy couldn't not be thinking about what that woman was up with. How detailed Helena Edison was in making plans to seek justice for what she had been through. And how amazed Tommy was at the figure of Helena who tried to refrain from exposing the case that almost cost her life. Just to give a shock effect to the people responsible for the incident. To make them think, Helena is not someone who is easily subdued just because of one incident.The woman chose to be patient, as if to give her opponent full confidence that all her plans would succeed. Helena did not move after that incident. It caught her off guard and it was only when her opponent sensed victory that Helena put up a fight.“She really has calculated all the possibilities that could happen.” Tommy grinned faintly, twirling the coffee cup that his servant had just served him. “No
