“I know this is hard for you,” his father replied, his voice low but firm. “But you are the only one who can do it. And if anyone can lead this family well, it is you.”

There was silence, and Sebastian absorbed everything his father had said. He knew that taking on such responsibility would not be easy, but perhaps, this was a chance to make amends, and do something meaningful for his family.

He nodded slowly, ready for the challenge ahead. “If that’s what I have to do, I will do it. For this family, for us,” he said, settling himself.

At that moment, Sebastian and his father looked at each other, feeling a renewed bond. Though the road was long and winding, they were finally ready to bridge the gap that once existed, showing that in love, there is the power to start over.

Sebastian heard his father’s words and felt the tension as his father began to explain the world he had left behind. “Our family is one of the few dynasties that has a huge influence on global industry. You may kno

    The worry and pain came back to him, because he knew how complicated their relationship was in the past. “Dad, I’m not sure I’m ready to deal with her right now. There’s a lot of pain that’s still bothering me,” he said. “I understand. But sometimes, in order to move forward, we need to face the past and resolve things that are unfinished. This could be an opportunity to find the peace you need. It will give you strength on your journey forward,” his father said, adding that sometimes facing memories can be an important step in healing. Sebastian was silent, torn between his past and the path ahead. He knew that facing Sara, and everything that had happened, would be a challenge. But at the same time, it could be a new beginning, a chance to close an old chapter and open a new one entirely. He considered all of this as he stared out the window, watching the scenery pass by, feeling the weight of the burden on his shoulders but also the hope that, maybe, things could be fixed. Thre

    And behind every step he took toward Sara, there was a new dream being woven—a dream of starting over with his life, though he didn’t realize that behind it all, his father had his own agenda that could possibly shake the world he was building. Upon arriving outside the Blue Net Group building, Sebastian felt his heart pounding. The grand building stood tall before his eyes, towering with a professional and prestigious air. He swallowed, feeling a mixture of excitement and anxiety as he entered a new world. However, as soon as he stepped forward, he was stopped by the security guard standing guard at the entrance. “Excuse me, sir,” the guard said in a formal tone, “but we cannot let you in with such casual attire. Only employees who are properly dressed are allowed to enter this building.” Sebastian looked at the guard in frustration. He was wearing jeans and a plain jacket, perhaps not fitting the formal look expected in this building. “I’m Sebastian,” he replied with a slight s

    After saving the woman, Sebastian took a closer look at her face and quickly realized that she was not Sara, but a woman who had been his co-worker. She was known for her beauty and always exuded a charming aura, but their circumstances had never been close. He remembered how, during their time working together, he had often kept his distance because he was married and wanted to avoid unnecessary gossip or rumors, especially because his wife was known to be abusive. “Thank you for coming on time!” the woman said, her voice calm and nervous. She was still sobbing a little, and Sebastian could see the fear in her eyes. “I’m not sure what would have happened if you hadn’t shown up.”Sebastian tried to reassure her. “You’re safe now. But how did you get into this situation?” he asked, trying to catch his breath.The woman shook her head, her face pale. “I was invited to meet some of the employees here, so I came to the office and… he just came up to me. I did

    The manager stood his ground, refusing to let Sebastian go. “You’re not getting away with this after all you’ve done! If you dare threaten one of our employees, I won’t hesitate to call the police and make your life even harder,” he said, his voice full of challenge. Sebastian felt a surge of anger but tried to remain calm. “I didn’t threaten anyone, and I will explain myself to the management. I have no intention of dealing with people like you, but if necessary, I will not let this situation go.” With that determination, Sebastian refused to back down. He knew that it was important to maintain his integrity, especially after saving Lila. He had no choice but to stand firm in his belief that what he did was right. However, the manager seemed to be getting more and more agitated and called out to the security guards who were hanging around. “Looks like we’ll have to settle this in a more… direct manner. Take action now!” Sebastian stared at th

    Lila held Sebastian’s hand, feeling the throbbing of her own emotions rising. “Sebastian, let’s go,” she pleaded in a calm voice, but Sebastian felt the anger boiling inside him. In that moment, he realized that this whole situation wasn’t just about him—it was a battle to protect Lila’s integrity, too, and nothing would destroy the peace they deserved. With renewed vigor and determination, he said, “We will get out of here, and no amount of threats or taunts will stop us. We will face any challenge and show who we really are.” Those moments were pivotal for Sebastian—he knew that this situation would shape the next steps of his life. And while it all seemed hopeless, he was determined to never be left behind by this sickening situation again. They may face many difficulties, but with courage, they can find their way out.Sebastian escorted Lila to the front lobby of the Blue Net Group building, feeling relieved that they had managed to g

    Sebastian felt confused and frustrated. He didn’t want to get caught up in this devious adult game. Deep down, he wanted his father to want something more genuine and meaningful for their relationship. “But this isn’t what I expected, Dad. I wanted us to build a stronger relationship based on honesty, not manipulation,” he insisted, feeling the emotions roiling inside him.Of course, his father remained firm. “I know this seems difficult, but we have to play this game for our own good. Let them help us with connections and business opportunities. It’s all for your future,” he said again, trying to defend his position. Sebastian still couldn’t believe that his father hadn’t changed a bit. Deep inside, he felt a combination of anger and deep disappointment, but he realized that some things couldn’t be changed that easily. In the end, even though he was still angry, Sebastian knew that he didn’t have much of a choice. “Okay, Dad. I’ll try to accept it, even

    Sebastian seemed at a loss for words. He was not only angry with Sara, but also with himself for still paying attention to her argument, even though there was clearly injustice in this situation. “You really have no shame,” he said, staring at her with a sharp gaze. He was sure that all of this was not solely about Dinda, but more focused on Sara’s personal interests and the egoism that always overshadowed her decisions. “I’m just doing what’s best for Dinda. You should understand, this isn’t just about the two of us—she’s the most important,” Sara said coldly, as if she was trying to dramatize the situation to gain sympathy.Sebastian bit his lip, feeling the emotions inside him rising. “You may be able to pretend like you care about Dinda, but everything you do is only for your own benefit. If you truly want what’s best for her, you shouldn’t use her as a tool to bring me down.”The lopsided smile on Sara’s face grew wider, as if she felt she had the p

    “She’s Sara’s child!” his father retorted, as if trying to emphasize that Dinda wasn’t entirely his. “You’re just caught up in these emotions. This isn’t the way to solve problems, Sebastian.”“It may not be the way you want, but it’s the way I believe in,” Sebastian said, his tone firm. He knew that his father didn’t want to understand what he was feeling. “I’m not going back to Sara. She stabbed me in the back, and I’m not going to let myself be tied down again to someone who betrayed me.”His father fell silent, perhaps surprised by Sebastian’s assertiveness. “But legally, this could be a serious problem. You can’t live your life based on feelings alone,” he tried to explain, but Sebastian no longer paid attention to his words.“Dinda doesn’t deserve to live in a controversial and toxic environment. She should have a brighter future, and I feel responsible for saving her,” Sebastian said, feeling determination in his heart.Sebastian stood str

    Sara felt her heart ache at the anger and sadness on Dinda's face. She knew her daughter missed Daddy Sebastian very much, and her feelings were entirely valid. Although she tried to explain gently, Dinda still looked disappointed and confused.Sara reminded herself to be patient, trying to find a way to explain the situation better. She hoped to give Dinda understanding so her daughter could feel more at ease and not neglected. In her mind, she resolved to find the right time to talk to Dinda about her feelings and hopes.Sara took a deep breath, trying to hold back her emotions. "Sweetheart, Mommy just wants the best for you. Besides, Daddy Rendy is here. You can play with him."Dinda huffed, crossing her arms. "Daddy Rendy isn’t fun. He always daydreams when I invite him to play. That makes me mad!"Hearing that, Sara felt a bit frustrated. She knew Dinda really needed attention and love. However, she also understood that Rendy might be facing

    The woman looked pale, her eyes swollen, clearly showing that she had just been crying. When she saw Rendy approaching, Vina appeared a bit relieved but still deeply worried.Rendy felt the pain in Vina's heart and knew this situation was very serious. He tried to calm himself, even though the tension in the air felt heavy. Rendy knew that this was the right time to support Vina and find out what was really happening with Rachel."Rendy!" Vina called with a trembling voice. She immediately walked up to him and hugged him tightly without hesitation."What happened?" Rendy asked urgently, although his voice sounded softer. He stroked Vina's back with a hand that tried to remain calm, even though he himself was on the verge of losing control.Vina took a deep breath, trying to hold back her tears. Rendy felt the tension in her body, and he grew more worried about Rachel's condition. In that embrace, he tried to provide strength to Vina, hoping to hea

    Suddenly, Rendy's phone rang. As he answered, his expression changed instantly. From a warm face while with Dinda, now it showed a striking tension. He listened intently to the voice on the other end, occasionally nodding even though those around him couldn't hear the conversation.A moment later, he hung up and hurriedly put his phone in his pocket. His face revealed that something serious was happening, and I felt curious about what he had heard. Rendy looked restless, and I could sense that this situation might be related to something more significant than just personal issues."Sara," Rendy said, his voice somewhat tense. "I have to go to the office now. There’s an important matter with a client that can’t be postponed."Rendy appeared rushed, and the tension on his face became more evident. He seemed to struggle with his words before leaving, as if he wanted to explain more, but time seemed to be running out. With quick steps, he prepared to leave, ab

    "Are you sure this is just a coincidence?" Sara asked again, this time her voice softer.Rendy nodded firmly. "Of course. There's nothing for you to worry about. They’re just clients, nothing more."Seeing Rendy's calm demeanor, Sara began to second-guess her suspicions. A part of her wanted to believe Rendy’s words, even though the shadow of Sebastian and his earlier words still lingered in her mind.The anxiety that had once consumed her thoughts began to subside, but an underlying sense of unease remained. She tried to convince herself that maybe this was indeed just a coincidence. However, doubt still loomed in her heart, leaving her feeling trapped between the desire to believe and the fear of a greater possibility.Rendy stepped closer, gently touching Sara's shoulder. "You look tired. Let’s go back to Dinda's room. I'm sure she wants to see both of us," he said softly. Sara gazed deeply at Rendy, trying to read

    Sara bit her lip. She knew she shouldn't let her thoughts carry her away. However, her maternal instinct—the urge to protect Dinda—was starting to push her to uncover the truth. Sebastian might be wrong, but what if he was right?That worry gnawed at her mind, making her feel restless. She wanted to protect Dinda from anything that could harm her, including painful truths. Taking a deep breath, Sara tried to calm herself, but the urge to find out more grew stronger.She picked up her phone again, contemplating her next move. Should she try to contact Rendy once more or seek out other information? Deep down, she knew she had to get answers, no matter how difficult it might be.After a few minutes, Sara tried calling again, but still no answer. Her anxiety grew, and she began to feel something was off. Yet, on the other hand, she didn’t want to think too far without proof."Be patient, Sara," she told herself. "Maybe this is all just a coincidence.

    Sara took a deep breath, her face showing a mix of exhaustion and anger. "Sebastian, I don’t care what you saw or think. All I know is that you’ve crossed the line by interfering in my life and Rendy’s. I’ve been patient enough. You should mind your own business and leave now."Those words felt like a slap to Sebastian. He sensed the tension in the air thickening, and even though he wanted to fight to convey the truth, Sara's firm voice made him hesitate. He realized that this situation had exceeded the boundaries he had anticipated.Sebastian stood still, trying to digest her words, but his heart felt heavy. He wanted to defend himself, but seeing Sara's expression, he knew that continuing this conversation would only make things worse.He stared at Sara for a moment, trying to find signs that she might be hiding something. However, Sara's gaze was stern, leaving no room for further discussion. He felt uncertainty and doubt, but the courage to ask further

    Vina glanced at Rachel with a hint of guilt before turning her attention back to Rendy. "So, when exactly will he be moved?" she asked, trying to ensure everything was going according to plan.Rendy looked back, this time with a firmer tone. "In a few hours. The special ambulance is ready, and the route has been arranged so that no one will know. You just need to make sure Sebastian isn’t at the hospital during that time."Vina nodded, feeling the weight of the situation grow heavier. She knew that everything had to be done carefully, and every step counted. The tension between them was palpable, but they all understood that this was a necessary step."Okay. But I can't keep blocking him. If he finds out I'm deliberately stopping him, he'll become even more suspicious," Vina said, feeling the pressure.Rendy sighed, understanding the difficulty Vina faced. "I'll find another way to distract him. You do what you can. We can't let Rachel be found, V

    Sebastian mentally rescheduled his work, determined to return to Dinda's side as soon as everything was taken care of.However, when he reached the lobby, his eyes caught a familiar figure—Rendy. The man seemed to walk quickly in another direction, pushing a door toward a different corridor. At first, Sebastian didn't want to pay attention, but something inside him held him back. The direction Rendy was heading was different from the path to Dinda's room. "Where is he going?" Sebastian muttered to himself. Curiosity took over him. He decided to follow Rendy's steps. However, the path was not smooth. In the busy hospital corridor, Sebastian had to navigate through several groups of visitors chatting. His steps halted momentarily as a patient in a wheelchair was pushed by a nurse right in front of him. Sebastian let out a soft grunt. "Damn," he muttered, feeling he had lost Rendy's trail. But when he glanced to the right, he saw the man turn at the end

    Sebastian still felt a bit confused, but he didn’t want to prolong the questions, so he simply nodded and looked at Dinda, who appeared uncertain. “So, Dinda has to blow into this for breathing exercises, right?”The nurse nodded. “Exactly, sir. This will help open the airways and improve airflow in her lungs.”Dinda sat there, still feeling weak, gazing at the blowing device with doubt. Sebastian sat beside her, trying to encourage her. “Dinda, sweetheart. Try blowing into it, okay? I believe you can do it.”Dinda looked at Sebastian with weary eyes. “But Daddy... I’m tired. I can’t blow that thing.”Hearing this, Sebastian felt a pang in his heart. He knew how difficult this was for Dinda right now. “It’s okay, sweetheart. Just try a little bit. Every small effort counts. I’m here to help you.”Sebastian hoped Dinda could find a bit of courage to try, even though her body felt weak. He wanted her to know she wasn’t alone in this struggl
