I REPAY MY HUSBAND'S BETRAYAL [89]
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

“Are you ready?” asked Michael as he welcomed Helena into the living room. Today was Helena's first court appearance after many trials in her absence. Helena's recovery and other considerations had kept her from showing up. But for today, Helena would not miss it.“Of course.” Helena smiled broadly. “I'm really looking forward to this day. And I think everyone who's going to be involved today is just as excited as I am.”“I can feel it since the last few days.” Michael invited Helena to walk ahead of him. He offered to carry the bag containing the files to be presented at the trial. As was Michael's habit whenever Helena carried a lot of luggage - the man did not hesitate to help. It was not uncommon for him to make sure that Helena was comfortable and safe with her steps while by Michael's side.“I'm going to miss these days,” Helena said with a soft sigh, but she didn't show a sad look on her face. She couldn't. What Michael had said last night on their date - what Michael had said

Michael took a moment to consider the words that should leave his mouth. Although Hanry was staring at him with a friendly gaze, it still had a rather dramatic effect on Michael. He knew that if Hanry Edison had questioned him directly, it was likely that his father had already spoken to Hanry about his wishes.Wouldn't it be better if they knew? But why did it feel like such a burden to Michael this morning? Was it the way Hanry Edison looked at him? Or did the voice of the middle-aged man who had questioned his decision sound uneasy?“You are right, Mr. Hanry.”“It took you long enough to give me the answer to that question.” Hanry smiled slightly. He chose to sit back on the sofa. “Can we talk about this? It may seem that I should have chosen a much more convenient time than this morning, but given what you've been through and what you can see for yourself about Helena, I couldn't resist."“I understand,” Michael said as he followed Hanry's lead. He took a seat directly opposite 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.
