After a seven-hour flight, Darwin and Veronica finally made it without any trouble. They arrived in Jakarta right at 8:30 PM.
Being picked up by a driver, they headed straight home. While Darwin freshened up, Veronica decided to tidy up some of the items in their suitcases and then moved them into the closet. She was the type of woman who couldn't sleep if she saw the room still in a messy state.
"I'm done. Now, you can take a shower," Darwin suggested as he walked out of the bathroom.
"Yeah, just a moment. Almost done. I want to organize your clean clothes first."
"It's okay, it's easy. I'll take care of the rest later."
Darwin couldn't possibly forget Veronica's complaints and nagging throughout the journey back. Although Veronica had taken a shower before heading to the airport earlier that day, she still felt sticky. Moreover, Darwin knew very well that his wife couldn't slee
Many people believe that the moment or memory of one's first love is something that might be difficult to forget. However, Darwin is quite different.Ever since getting married and now becoming close with Veronica, Darwin has started experiencing things he considers quite remarkable. Despite only being together for a short while, he vividly remembers everything – the good, the bad, the happy, and the sad moments he's shared with his wife.Until now, Darwin believed that the moments he spent with Vivian were the best. Not a single day could pass without him being in contact with his beloved.However, after getting to know Veronica, his thoughts gradually changed. Darwin, who was initially tormented, slowly started to forget. In fact, now he's slowly becoming accustomed to life without Vivian by his side.Darwin and Veronica's marriage isn't an ordinary one. There are business, political, and eco
Tonight, Veronica had indeed received an invitation to a party. One of her old friends was celebrating their birthday at Paradise, a well-known bar.Initially, Veronica had no intention of going. Besides not being a fan of parties, she wasn't particularly comfortable with the crowd at night entertainment venues.However, after Deasy persuaded her and invited her to come, Veronica eventually agreed. Besides, these past few days she had been feeling quite stressed and bored. So, it wouldn't hurt to have some fun by meeting old friends for a change.Upon arriving at Paradise, Deasy immediately brought Veronica to mingle with their old friends. They chatted briefly before joining the candle blowing ceremony, followed by congratulations and continuing with the dance floor party.All the invited guests seemed joyful, dancing and enjoying the DJ's music echoing throughout the venue. While Veronica was beginning to feel t
After shouting at the top of his lungs, instead of letting go, Darrel just started laughing even harder as if he didn't have an ounce of fear. Using his free hand, the man then covered Veronica's mouth. Meanwhile, his other hand seemed to be holding the beautiful woman's body in place, preventing her from moving around.Tonight, Darrel was determined to conquer a Veronica. Since the woman's arrival at the party, he had been observing her and wanting to touch her body."I've told you before, no one will hear your screams, Ve. And no one will come to help you either."Veronica seemed to shake her head while struggling. She tried hard to break free from Darrel's grip. But alas, the size of the man's physique made Veronica weaker."SSsttss," Darrel hissed with a menacing expression on his face. He grinned sharply, as if he wanted to devour Veronica alive. "What's so hard about enjoying it? Besides, I jus
Throughout the journey home, Darwin and Veronica both chose to remain silent. After what had happened earlier, neither of them was willing to give in and speak first.Even when they arrived home and were cleaning Darwin's arm wound, Veronica didn't say a word to reprimand her husband. Even though Darwin had nearly lost his life trying to rescue her from Darrel's clutches."Ve..." Darwin finally called out.They were currently in the living room. Unable to bear the silence any longer, Darwin decided to break it first. He realized he might have been too prideful and that Veronica hadn't forgiven him yet. "How long are you going to keep me in silence like this? How much longer are you not going to give me a chance to resolve the misunderstanding between us?"Veronica glanced up briefly towards her husband, then continued wrapping the bandage around Darwin's injured arm.Staying indi
After being engaged in a serious conversation with Veronica last night, Darwin has been preoccupied all day today. In fact, he's been so distracted that he hasn't been able to focus on completing any of the tasks at the office.Similarly, when he arrives home and finishes dinner, he finds himself lost in thought again. Choosing to sit in his workspace, Darwin recalls and carefully processes what he and Veronica discussed the previous night."You should know better. Since deciding to marry and become your wife, I have surrendered and accepted it wholeheartedly. I've even committed to making this marriage work as best as I can, even though we don't love each other. You need to remember too, Win. No matter what past you shared with Vivian, I genuinely don't care. I'm not God to judge your past. Moreover, I believe we live to see the future, not to dwell on the past. But unfortunately, even though I've tried to be understanding, you haven't made
Veronica has just finished applying various skincare products to her face. As she goes to get a drink, she forgets that the usual water-filled tumbler she keeps is not in her room.Glancing at the clock on the wall showing it's 11 PM, Veronica is pretty sure everyone in the house is asleep. That's why she casually walks out of her room wearing a thin nightgown.Going down the stairs and heading towards the dining area, just as she's about to turn, she suddenly hears a male voice calling out. When she looks, she sees the figures of Randy and Darwin sitting in the TV room, both looking in her direction."Veronica!" Darwin calls out. Simultaneously, Veronica notices the surprise on Randy's face. He probably didn't expect to see Veronica in such a revealing outfit."Don't look!" Darwin commands, covering Randy's eyes with his hands. Then he turns back to Veronica and orders her, "Quickly go back to your
Darwin blinked his eyes, and the room's ceiling looked a bit unfamiliar to him. He paused for a moment, recalling, until he finally realized that he was currently in Veronica's room. Unconsciously, Darwin smiled. Lowering his gaze, he found Veronica still sound asleep, holding onto his body tightly. Beyond that, the two of them were even under the same blanket. So close. Stuck together like their skin was glued by adhesive. And don't forget, neither of them were wearing any clothes after their passionate night. In the silence, Darwin reached out his hand. He gently stroked Veronica's smooth cheek, tucking away a strand of hair that seemed to cover her beautiful face. Again, while gazing at Veronica's face, Darwin smiled with joy. A feeling of happiness crept into the depths of his heart. He was proud too, actually, to be the first person to touch his wife's body. Darwin wasn't exaggerating. After having Veronica entirely last night, there was a distinctly different sensation brew
After finishing the meeting with the investor from Singapore, Darwin decided to quickly return to his office. Searching for his cellphone, he hurriedly called Veronica and asked her to come to his room right away. Somehow, Darwin suddenly felt longing for his wife. In retrospect, it seemed a bit excessive. But, what could he do, that's what he was feeling right now. Ever since last night's incident, there was a feeling that made Darwin want to be constantly with Veronica and spend a lot of time together. "Oh God, it seems like I'm cursed because I bragged before that I wouldn't fall in love with Veronica." Darwin recited that sentence in his heart. While lost in thought, Veronica, whom he had called earlier, seemed to enter the room. Walking closer, approaching the position where Darwin was sitting. "Why? Do you want to discuss the meeting?" Darwin looked up. He smiled at Veronica and reached for her wrist, then pulled her until she was seated right on his lap. "Win!" Veronica e
