"Sir, if you take a closer look, our company's sales graph is steadily rising and stabilizing over time. I'm optimistic that within less than a year, everything could bounce back to the way it was before or even surge higher than it is now."Darwin appeared to be attentively listening as the project manager and a few expert staff members presented their work results one by one in today's important meeting. All of them provided positive reports that made Darwin feel increasingly satisfied.In reality, the Infinix Group has been in a stable and normal state since Damian Ashborne extended a helping hand to Magnus. However, Darwin wants his father's company to continue progressing and ideally experience rapid growth.This is in order to swiftly repay all the money and assistance Damian provided, so the Infinix Group wouldn't be considered indebted. That way, he could end his marriage with Veronica as soon as possible without any burden."Well then, keep pushing for further development. Don
Vivian: Darling, happy birthday. May at this age, you become even more successful. May all your wishes and dreams come true soon. Love and cherish me more. And most importantly, I hope we can get married soon. From me, who is loyal and always loves you, Vivian Salim.Darwin's smile brightened as he opened his eyes this morning and found a text message from his beloved, Vivian. Apparently, his sweetheart had sent birthday wishes since midnight.Sitting up, Darwin immediately searched for Vivian's contact on his phone. He called his girlfriend to express his gratitude for the prayers Vivian had offered."Morning, Baby."As the call connected, Darwin heard Vivian respond with a sweet tone. Her gentle voice made Darwin even more captivated this morning."Morning, Love. Have you been up for a long time?""Of course. I've been up since four o'clock."Darwin furrowed his brow. He was curious why his girlfriend had to wake up so early."Why so early? Couldn't you sleep like usual?""No," Vivi
This morning, Veronica enjoyed her breakfast alone. She had been sitting for nearly 30 minutes, but Darwin hadn't emerged from his room. Usually, whenever she finished her breakfast or around 7:30 in the morning, Darwin would always be seen leaving his room. However, it was almost 8 o'clock now, and the man was nowhere to be seen.Curious, Veronica took the initiative to ask. Coincidentally, Renata was in the dining room arranging plates and clean glasses into the drawer partition."Renata, has Darwin come out of his room yet? I haven't seen him all this time."Renata, who had been busy arranging plates, immediately stopped her activity. She decided to approach Veronica and answered her employer's question."Sir left for work very early in the morning, Miss. If I'm not mistaken, he left around 6:30. Seems like he was in a hurry. He didn't even touch his breakfast."Veronica nodded in understanding. She thought that perhaps her husband had a morning meeting or an early morning meeting,
Leaving the Infinix Group building, Veronica decided to leave right away. Along the way, wiping away her tears, she contemplated. She thought about what she should do to retaliate against all the things Darwin had done to her. In her heart, Veronica solidified her determination. She couldn't remain silent, let alone surrender, when her self-esteem was trampled upon like this. That's why, instead of immediately going to the Caribbean building, Veronica asked the driver to take her to meet her father. Fortunately, when she approached, Damian was still in his office. The middle-aged man appeared busy discussing work with his assistant. "Dad, can I talk to you for a moment? There's something important I want to ask and discuss." Damian looked up, clearly startled. He was probably wondering why his daughter had dropped by without giving any prior notice. Damian was convinced that there must be something significant that his beloved daughter wanted to discuss, considering she had come al
Veronica had just finished her work. After tidying up a few things in her new room, she decided to head home as it was already seven in the evening. As she stepped out of the room, Veronica was slightly surprised. There was Sean, who apparently was sitting there, possibly waiting for her. "Veronica," Sean greeted as he noticed the woman he had been waiting for standing right in front of him. "What are you doing sitting here?" Veronica wondered as Sean approached her position. "I was waiting for you to come home." "Waiting for me?" Sean nodded. "Yeah. I was initially going to head home directly. But when I passed by your room and saw the light was still on, I decided to wait so we could go home together," he revealed without any pretense. Veronica let out a soft sigh. She was reminded of the old times when they were still dating. They often waited for each other, then enjoyed dinner together before finally heading home. "But I have the driver with me." "Allow me to take you ho
As usual, this morning Veronica enjoyed her breakfast alone. She couldn't figure out what Darwin was up to, since it was past seven and he still hadn't come out of the room.It briefly crossed her mind that he might not have come home. But, after checking with Renata, she found out that her husband did come home last night. It's just that he came back very late."He's probably still asleep. Or maybe he overslept. From what I remember, Darwin came back around midnight or 1 AM. Luckily, I was still awake because I was watching the final of the dangdut show on TV. So, as soon as he called, I quickly opened the door.""Why wouldn't he use the fingerprint sensor on the front door? Why bother calling?" Veronica wondered.Renata grimaced. The housemaid scratched her neck repeatedly as she replied."I accidentally locked the door from the inside. Mr. Darwin was even grumbling because he
That night, Veronica spent about an hour getting ready. Believing her appearance was absolutely perfect, she grabbed the black clutch she had prepared earlier. Walking out of her room, she approached Darwin, who was waiting in the living room.Seeing his wife suddenly standing in front of him, Darwin was momentarily surprised. Especially when he saw Veronica's appearance, which was stunning and extraordinarily beautiful compared to usual.For a moment, Darwin was transfixed. For heaven's sake, he cursed inwardly wondering why Veronica looked so different tonight. He remained silent for a few moments until he finally snapped to attention when Veronica deliberately cleared her throat."Why? Just realized you have a beautiful wife?"The admiration that had briefly shown on Darwin's face instantly vanished. He rolled his eyes irritably, choosing not to respond. Instead, he dragged his feet and quickly en
"For God's sake, Veronica Ashborne, I'm really satisfied with the way your husband provoked me last night."A hearty laughter resonated from Deasy's lips. Currently, she was enjoying lunch with Veronica at one of their favorite eateries.Throughout the journey and even upon arriving at the restaurant, Veronica's friend couldn't stop talking about Darwin. She was thoroughly pleased because the bait she threw out last night was swallowed whole by Darwin without him demanding any clarification.There was a sense of satisfaction in the air. In fact, Deasy found herself getting addicted to it. She had plans to provoke Darwin again on another occasion just to annoy him as she did before."You know, Des, all the way from the road to the restaurant, Darwin kept on making subtle jabs at me."Deasy's eyes widened. She became even more eager to hear what Veronica was about to share.
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
