2024-10-29 19:42:56Mario: Don't forget to come. Mom and Dad are definitely waiting for you, Ghe. Your sister has already called Randy to make time to accompany you tonight.
Ghea sighed deeply while reading the short message sent by Mario. Tonight, there's a celebration party for her step-parents' 30th wedding anniversary.
Actually, Ghea is really reluctant to attend the event. She believes that her stepmother wouldn't want to see her there, especially at a wedding anniversary party that is always considered sacred.
Ghea is self-aware. She never forgets that her late mother was once a thorn in the side of her stepmother's marriage. And because of this event, she has always been the scapegoat for that mistake.
Moreover, last night Ghea already went to an unpleasant party, meeting someone who ruined her mood. That's why, to attend again tonight, it feels like she has to think twice.
"Why don't you go,

"Now, what are you busy with?"Randy seemed to be getting bored dealing with Giselle, who had been engaging him in small talk. While glancing at the Tag Heuer Carrera silver wrapped around his wrist, Randy occasionally scanned the surroundings, hoping that Ghea would come and pull him away from the event.As a man who had spent a lot of time with many women, he certainly knew which ones were genuinely interested and which ones were intentionally seeking his attention, like what Giselle had been doing."If you're asking what I'm busy with, of course, I'm busy with work as usual," Randy replied casually."Oh, I see," Giselle responded, trying to be friendly. As much as possible, she tried to grab attention and present the best impression to the man who was clearly the husband of her step-sister. "I thought, besides work, you might have other activities that you're currently focused on. You know, young entrepreneurs like you usually have a tight schedule with various business-related or

Ghea opened her eyes. As she turned, she was immediately startled to find Randy, who knows when, had fallen asleep leaning right next to her hand. The man's hand reached out, tightly gripping Ghea's wrist as if unwilling to let go.For a moment, Ghea stayed silent, savoring the unusual scene unfolding before her eyes."Randy..." Ghea whispered. Realizing that Randy's sleeping position seemed uncomfortable, she tried to wake him up. "Honey... wake up," she said later. Then her free hand gently stroked Randy's hair until he finally woke up from his slumber."Ghea..." Randy called. "Are you awake? How are you? Are you okay?"Ghea nodded. When asked about her condition, she did feel much better than before. The fear that had haunted her had now disappeared."I'm okay," she said."Thank goodness. I was worried. Last night, I waited for you to come out of the bathroom. But, half an hour later, you didn't return. What happened, Ghe? I can't even fathom you fainting like that last night."Ghe

Ghea looked visibly bored. Since this morning, she had been sitting silently in her room, making her feel lifeless. Accustomed to moving around here and there, suddenly having to take a complete break like this was making her tired. She wanted to contact Joshua or Denisa, but she realized both of her friends were probably busy working.Continuing to roll around on the bed, Ghea's bedroom door was heard being knocked. Shortly after, Sandra appeared, carrying a tray with something on it."What's up?" Ghea asked as Sandra entered."This is snacks and fruits, Mrs. Ghea. Just now, Mr. Randy called to remind me to bring snacks and fruits for you. He also asked me to keep you company for a while. He's worried you might get bored being alone in the room all day."Ghea smiled. For a moment, she felt grateful for the sensitivity her husband possessed. As if he could read her mind, he knew she was currently bor

"Watch it, you tell us to drop by for something unimportant!"Just as he opened the door to the room, Darwin was already grumbling. Today, after a meeting together and before the end of the workday, Randy did ask his two cousins to stop by first. Not for hanging out or chatting as usual in the coffee shop, but to sit together in his office because he wanted to discuss something he deemed important and interesting for them to discuss."Can't you meet without complaining? You're a guy, but you talk more than a girl.""Not the other way around?" Darwin grumbled while pulling the chair in front of Randy's desk and sitting down. Kennedy, who was also there, did the same."Enough," Kennedy interrupted. "Let's get straight to the point, can we? I need to go home early today. Luna invited me to dinner outside. She'll be mad if I'm late. The three of us are like a gossip gang. We love gathering

"Are you seriously not interested at all in joining me to Bali?"The next morning, once again before heading to the airport, Randy confirmed with his wife about the invitation to go to Bali together. Randy intentionally invited Ghea to join with the intention of slowly building a connection. Who knows, maybe his wife's heart could soften after this."Not that I'm not interested. But, there's a schedule I can't leave. After finishing breakfast, I'll go straight to the campus."Randy sighed softly. His hope of inviting Ghea to go to Bali with him was dashed."Well then. In that case, I'll leave first. To avoid traffic and arrive at the airport on time. I'll be away for three days; take care of yourself. If you need anything, you can ask Sandra or contact Alvin, my assistant. Luckily, he's always on standby in the office."This time, Ghea nodded in understanding. She then got up from her seat, in

Stella looked graceful as she walked, occasionally adjusting the position of her sunglasses clinging to her sharp nose. With Randy, she confidently traversed Garbarata to exit and move on to the next location for their business meeting.Honestly, Stella enjoyed every moment spent on business trips like this, especially partnering with a man she clearly liked. Since Randy joined Akasia, Stella had developed deeper feelings. She made a concerted effort to be sweet and attract Randy's attention.Moreover, who wouldn't be captivated by the aura and charisma that the man exuded? Apart from being successful and undoubtedly stable, Randy had a special quality that, according to Stella, not every man out there possessed."Are we meeting with Continental right away?" Randy asked as they were en route to the meeting location."Yes," Stella nodded in confirmation. "We'll have a casual meeting at Continental unt

"How could you follow me to Bali without telling me first? You said you had a busy schedule. Then why the change of heart? Or perhaps..."As they walked towards the lounge where the event was taking place, Randy's eyes narrowed sharply. He was trying to find out why Ghea suddenly changed her mind and followed him to Bali. He had repeatedly invited his wife, and she had stubbornly refused for various reasons."Or perhaps what?""Are you jealous and unwilling to let me go on a business trip alone with Stella? Is that it? Come on, admit it."Ghea immediately squinted her eyes. As they walked, she took Randy's hand and gave a small pinch to his waist, making him wince in pain."Don't be jealous randomly! Strawberry, mango, apple, sorry, it's not on the same level. Why would I be jealous of that fragrance-spreading ghost?"Randy was astonished and then laughed sho

"Wow, Randy!"Ghea jolted in surprise. When she opened her eyes, she found her husband sitting on the edge of the bed, gazing at her face from such a close distance.It's unclear how long the man had been sitting there, but one thing was certain—his appearance was neat and fragrant. If Ghea had to guess, her husband was probably going to an important meeting after this."Could you please not scream like that? I'm not a devil, Ghea. I kissed you again like last night, just to taste you!"Ghea immediately sighed. Seriously, why was she so shocked earlier? How could she wake up and find Randy's face almost glued to hers?Instantly, memories of the kissing incident from last night flashed in her mind. Especially now that Randy mentioned it, her cheeks turned red again in embarrassment."Ugh, you're such a tease! Watch out, you dare to kiss me without permission like last night. It's so rude!""So, to be polite, I have to ask for permission before kissing you? Is that what you mean?"Ghea

Randy glanced at the circular watch on his left wrist, feeling uneasy. He was both hopeful and worried that he might be late to pick up Ghea and then take his wife to a dinner event with the extended Walters family. It required extra persuasion to make his wife agree to attend the dinner tonight. It wasn't because Randy had any issues or objections to what his wife wanted to do. Since Ghea entered the last month of her pregnancy, she became the type of woman who preferred to stay at home, lounging in her room while enjoying snacks and watching Korean dramas. Actually, Randy had no problem with whatever activities Ghea wanted to engage in. As long as Ghea was happy, he was fine with it. It's just that sometimes it became a bit troublesome for him. Due to her extreme laziness, Ghea often refused to go anywhere. "Darling... I'm sorry I'm a bit late. The traffic on the toll road was really bad." Upon arriving at the house to pick up Ghea, and now that his wife was already in the car,

"Ghea, Mom, I beg you, please drop the charges against Giselle's husband. Mom, I know he's wrong, but at least show your compassion." "After trying to live peacefully for days, Clara suddenly visited Ghea at her residence. Despite what her stepmother had been doing all this time, she approached and pleaded with Ghea, asking that her youngest daughter be released or at least given a lenient punishment." "Clara felt Giselle didn't deserve a harsh punishment. Especially after all the things she and Giselle had done, Maxwell also took a firm stand. The man she had been with for thirty years was now filing for divorce. He didn't even want to accept an apology for what he had done to Ghea." "Enough, Mom, suffering from being kicked out and divorced by Dad. Now, Giselle is Mom's only hope because Mario is not willing to help at all. That's why, Mom, I'm asking you, please free Giselle in any way you can." Ghea sat silently in her seat, listening. For a moment, she didn't comment on the r

Ghea has sighed deeply countless times. She feels extremely nervous thinking about Randy's reaction when he meets Giselle in a short while. Ghea is actually angry about what Giselle did. However, her heart still feels afraid and worried that her husband might lose control and be provoked emotionally. Ghea only just found out that Randy can look so terrifying when angry. This is something she really wants to avoid. Then, when the person they've been waiting for finally arrives in the investigation room, Ghea observes and can clearly see that the first thing Randy does is smirk. He tries to control his emotions by remaining calm, but he always appears alert. Randy continues to watch from a distance until the woman they've been waiting for finally speaks up and starts talking. "What's really going on here? Why did the police officer call me all sorts of things to come here?" Giselle asks casually when the woman is seated in front of her. "We deliberately called and asked Miss to come

After receiving the news from Alvin the night before that the suspected person who hit Ghea had been apprehended, Randy decided to go to the police station early in the morning. He intentionally brought Ghea along because the police needed her statement to further investigate the accident that had befallen her some time ago. Exiting the black Range Rover he was driving, Randy tightly held Ghea's hand as they walked together towards the interrogation room. Once inside, they were directed by the officers to check the man who had been successfully detained. There, a man around 35 years old sat on the defendant's chair with his head bowed. Randy then cast a penetrating gaze, assessing the appearance of the man who had caused his wife's accident and might have led to a miscarriage. Randy's jaw seemed to tighten. His calm face slowly turned red. Emotions were clearly evident on the man's face. If there were no police officers present, the narrow-eyed man might have attacked or sought rev

"Ghea, forgive me, Papa couldn't be there to protect you." Maxwell hugged his daughter, who was now sitting on the bed in her room. He was extremely saddened by the recent tragedy that had befallen his daughter. "Why apologize? It's not Papa's fault. It's just a stroke of bad luck. The most important thing is that Ghea is okay." "But, Papa is really sad to hear about your accident. Papa is worried that something bad might happen to you." Ghea smiled, gently stroking her father's hand, trying to reassure and calm him. "Ghea is fine, Papa. No need to worry, let alone think about anything bad happening. I promise not to make Papa sad like this again." After ensuring that his daughter was fine, Maxwell and Mario decided to go down to the first floor while chatting with their son-in-law. "Randy, thank you for keeping Papa and Mario informed about Ghea's condition." Since he arrived, Maxwell appeared anxious and worried. He was undoubtedly shocked by the recent unfortunate events. M

Upon hearing the news that Ghea had been in an accident, Randy felt his heart almost stop beating. Confronted with the reality that his wife's life might be in danger, he suddenly found himself short of breath. He couldn't speak now. Just silent for a moment, until the police finished delivering the news through the phone call he received. "Ran, what's wrong with you?" Darwin wondered when he saw Randy's face, which was once relaxed and playful, now turning pale. His cousin seemed to stand up quickly, getting ready to leave. "Ghea had an accident, Win. She's in the hospital now." Darwin was startled at that moment too. Both equally shocked to hear the news Randy had just conveyed. Without much thought, he offered to accompany Randy, who might be in distress or unable to think clearly. Driving his vehicle at an above-average speed, Darwin and Randy arrived at the hospital in just 10 minutes. Walking briskly, they went straight to the emergency unit. There, several police officers w

Meanwhile, Randy, bombarded with so many questions from Darwin, didn't answer immediately. Adjusting his sitting position, he then slowly began to explain. "The story is quite long, Win." "As long as it takes, I'll listen," Darwin quickly responded. "Don't worry; my schedule is clear today." "Do you remember Agista, right?" "Yeah, your ex who left to marry that sugar daddy?" "Hmm..." Randy sighed lazily. "Yeah, she became the representative for Velfire. Velfire appointed her to oversee the progress of the project in Indonesia. She was placed in Akasia's head office for two months." "And then?" "So, a while ago, I had a business trip to Singapore. It was also for a meeting with Velfire to discuss the collaboration's progress. Initially, everything went smoothly. No problems at all." "Well then, why did you unilaterally cancel the partnership, Ran," Darwin interrupted. Randy hadn't finished telling the story yet. "Listen first," Randy growled. He explained the matter to his cou

"I'm heading to work now. You can relax at home." Randy had just finished his breakfast. Accompanied by Ghea to the door, he prepared to leave for the office. "I'm sure you'll miss being able to peek into Uncle's office or hang out there as usual," Ghea complained with a gloomy face. For almost two months of interning at Randy's office, she had gotten used to spending the whole day meeting and interacting with her husband. "Don't be sad like that. I'll be thinking about you at the office. Or, how about this. What if we have lunch together later?" "Yes!" Ghea replied immediately, nodding her head. The girl responded enthusiastically to her husband's invitation. "Should I pick up Uncle from the office or what? Anyway, I really want to meet Uncle for lunch later." Randy laughed. Fondly, he cupped Ghea's reddened cheeks. He was somewhat surprised to see Ghea acting so spoiled. Her behavior was indeed very different from before. Usually, Ghea often hesitated to express her feelings o

Upon careful consideration, there are many reasons why being with her husband, Randy Walters, is highly enjoyable for Ghea. Aside from her husband's handsome appearance and athletic physique desired by many women, Ghea acknowledges that the youngest of the Walters family is skillful in the bedroom. Every time they are together, Ghea has been charmed and satisfied numerous times. For example, on a night like this, reflecting the intense longing after being apart for two days, Randy clearly doesn't allow Ghea to move an inch from the bed. He continues to caress her, worshiping every inch of Ghea's body with great intensity. Ghea's eyes then close. Sensing vividly how Randy's lips kiss her wet shoulders and the exposed neck, causing her hair to stand on end. Right when he lifts his face, intentionally approaching and parting his lips, Randy then slips his tongue into Ghea's mouth. Playing around there. Deliberately teasing, until eventually, Ghea responds in kind. Meanwhile, Randy's h
