Take a shower?Did this guy mean that he was going to take a bath here… with Valerie? Valerie's face was flushed red; apart from the warm steam of the shower, it was also because of what Jose said as if he did not care.“do not you think you can harass me just like that!” Valerie looked at Jose angrily. “Get out!”However, it seems that Valerie's anger doesn't bother Jose. That man just stood there comfortably, seemingly indifferent to her nakedness, while Valerie was getting more and more uncomfortable, trying to take her eyes off that part of Jose's body.I can't see it, she thought. Although then she couldn't help herself and realized that the man was very aroused.God, will she end up being raped in the bathroom by Jose?“Aren't you interested in enjoying the joy of bathing with me, honey? I'll massage your back.”The man instead took a step, started to enter into the bath, making Valerie panic. She immediately inched to the end farthest from Jose. She was aware of the dilemma she
“We've searched all the houses around here that were bought on behalf of foreign businessmen. There are a lot of them, but we've narrowed it down only to the houses that were bought in the last few months.”May, one of George's men, looked at her boss nervously. “The data is too extensive. We do not know whose name to trace. Without definite data specifications, we have to check thousands of houses.”George took a deep breath. “And even then it doesn't necessarily work. It could be that The Slayer buys or rents a house on behalf of someone else, or uses a local name, so we won't be able to track it down.”George's gaze wandered, staring at the vague photo of the killer posted on the white board of his office. “Okay, May, you can go. Let me know the results of the team's investigation later.”May gave her boss a look full of admiration for a second before walking away from his room. George was his most handsome and young boss. Usually the man always seemed calm and in control, leaving
Charlotte, who now looks different and looks so sexy, smiles with satisfaction.“Besides, I think I deserve it, considering the months I was undercover in that office, trying to be close friends with Valerie.”“You did do your job well.”Of course Jose also tapped into Charlotte's entire conversation with Valerie. He knows how Charlotte managed to position herself as the best friend whom Valerie trusted the most, where she spilled everything. It helps Jose to know Valerie's heart condition and also her deepest feelings.“However, you did put Valerie in your room.” Charlotte stared unhappily at the door, repeating her comment, feeling deeply disturbed by the reality that lay ahead.Jose's room is a private room that no one can enter, but he instead puts Valerie in his room. Charlotte should have the right to enter that room; sleep on his bed, smell his signature scent and enjoy his hug!Jose stared at Charlotte's change of expression with judging eyes. He came to the decision to throw
George and his team are desperate. They couldn't find a trace of Valerie anywhere. The Slayer seemed so cunning and skilled at hiding that they couldn't track his whereabouts. In the room, George was pensive and wringing his hair in frustration.His subconscious has even thought that Valerie was killed by the heartless Slayer. Angered by the thought, George rose to his feet, grabbed his jacket and put it on, and stepped outside. He needed coffee, otherwise he might die of frustration.With long strides he came out and over the sidewalk. The cold wind immediately hit his face, carrying water vapor. George tilted his head up and saw the dark and overcast sky.It will rain soon. His mind was wandering as he stepped into the cafe he had been subscribed to. The cafe was at the end of a busy street so it was quite busy. Even though it is a little crowded and busy, it does provide excellent coffee. The aroma is fragrant and thick with a vegetable cream that is very suitable when combined.Ge
Elsewhere, it's George staring at his computer. All government data about Mr James appeared before him.The man came to this country one year ago, carrying the big name of his company which made all companies vying to get investment from him. Then he chose to work with Ruben Alvaro's company.He had never linked this up before, he thought it was natural: Mr James chose to work with a company owned by a wealthy German tycoon who eventually chose to stay in the country with his family.Ruben's company is one of the most advanced and potential of its competitors in this field. George just never thought that this whole decision had to do with Valerie.He should have remembered, it was Valerie who passed Mr. James's tender offer. He should have realized that everything was connected.He frowned when he read the information. Mr. James has leased property in his name, in a heavily fortified luxury residential complex. Yet as far as George knows, Mr. James has another house he lived in during
“I began to worry about the existence of Miss Charlotte who was too close to Miss Valerie.”Don glanced at the monitors that displayed the surveillance cameras in this mansion. On one screen is a video where Charlotte is still standing with her whole body tensed in front of Jose's room, staring hatefully that way.Jose also looked at the screen and shrugged his shoulders. “I had tried to make her realize that her obsession with me was a hopeless hope, but she seemed too ignorant to accept the truth.”Don nodded his head and looked at his master anxiously. “He could jeopardize the whole plan.”“So get people to keep an eye on her, lest she plan something we do not know.”Don looked at her in agreement. “I will watch her. I have the feeling that she has no good plans.”Suddenly, amid the silence created between Jose and Don, the phone on the table rang. Only certain people know the telephone number and only important news can be conveyed over the phone.“Yes,” Jose answered the phone br
The distinctive fragrance made Valerie stretch her body. She blinked and for some reason her whole body ached all over, as if she had been on a long journey.She is on the bed… her memory tried to scramble, and then she remembered how she had been wrestling on the bed, trying to fight Jose's will to take her somewhere. She remembers that Jose covered her mouth, but after that she doesn't remember anything else.Her fingers moved to rub the sheets under her body and she realized that this sheet was different from the usual. Valerie gasped and widened her eyes, trying to break through the darkness that surrounded this room.This wasn't the room she was placed in before, this was a different room! Valerie sat down and looked around. As soon as her eyes adapted to the darkness, she was able to gaze around the dim surroundings.Where is she now?Valerie started to panic. She got up from the bed, faintly heard a strange sound in the distance, the sound of the waves crashing.The sound of t
George's question was answered when the figure of a young woman, perhaps his age, in very sexy clothes came down the stairs. Her steps were graceful and she gave a flirtatious smile when she saw George. Without warning, the woman drew closer to Mr James and clung to his arm.“Who's interrupting our lunch break, honey?” the woman's beautiful lips, which are wearing seductive lipstick so that they look wet and sparkling, slightly pouted. Her eyes darted to George and May, studying them.Meanwhile George was flabbergasted by the scene before him. The woman was young, while Mr James's age could be twice that. However, looking at their body language, it seemed like they were lovers.Mr. James looked up at George and smiled with a shrug.“I rented this house to Aria, my lover. It would be impossible if I asked her to live together in the house I live in now in this country.” Mr. James blinked his eyes. “You know I have a child and a wife in my home country.”George nearly gawked if he did n
Jose stared at the mound of earth covered with flowers. He never expected his best friend to leave this soon. There are things that are strange for Jose.How can Manuel die even though he was treated on in a big hospital? He was sure that something was off about Manuel's death. Jose's strongest guess is that there was an error during the operation. How could the operation go smoothly and then Manuel just died?The sound of crying echoed in Jose's ears, he could feel Angela's hurt feelings. He lost the figure of a friend and brother in his life.Someone in a black robe came, she tied her hair before sitting beside Manuel's grave."Sorry, I couldn't save your life," Jesline said with tears in her eyes.She was so hurt that she had done a terrible mistake. Usually she was always successful in surgeries, but because of her arrogance, now that she failed, innocent Manuel became the victim."Doctor Jesline?" said Angela. Manuel's mother wiped her tears and hugged Doctor Jesline."Sorry ma'a
Nichol was confused what to do. Since earlier he had not left Manuel's room. He panics and worries if he did something wrong. It was true that the operation was done on the responsibility of Doctor Jesline, but he still felt guilty. Periodically, Nichole checked on Manuel's condition. However, until evening he did not regain consciousness."Nichol, I know you're worried. Never mind, go back to your office, do your report," Jesline ordered Nichol back.It was all her fault, had Doctor Adam not left sooner this might not have happened. She looked at Manuel with a guilty look. She repeatedly sighed, hoping that Manuel would wake up soon."Excuse me, ma'am, the patient's family has come," said a nurse.Jesline's chest was beating faster. She didn't know what to say. Explaining that it was her fault puzzled her. "Okay, please tell them to wait outside," Jesline pleaded. She lifted her head, staring at the ceiling, hoping that Manuel would regain consciousness."Good evening, I am Doctor J
On his way to the airport, Manuel was really speeding because he had already bought a round trip ticket so he could be at headquarters the next day. However, because of his incredible speed, Manuel lost control.The car swerved sideways, he had a moment to feel the sting of pain and a painful glint in his eyes. He still had time to think how ironic this incident was.This is almost the same as what happened to Uncle Miguel and Vera, the accident on the way to the airport. At the last second he imagined the beautiful faces of his parents and younger sister, before losing consciousness.Manuel's car hit a big tree so hard that the front of the car was crushed against it. The loud sound of the collision caused people to gather and come to help, while Manuel was unconscious inside, wedged in his own car, covered in blood.***Fresh blood dripped from Manuel's temples. In the ambulance, he got conscious though his vision was blurry. He was about to scream for help. Unfortunately he couldn'
Valerie widened her eyes in confusion. She looked at Jose for answers and her husband nodded his head. Nod his head! Does that mean what Miguel Alvaro said is true? That she is their daughter? But how could that be? How can?Manuel seemed to understand how confused and shocked Valerie was. He cleared his throat, trying to re-lead the conversation.“You remember, don't you, Valerie? I once came up to you and said you reminded me of someone? You actually remind me of Uncle Miguel and Aunt Vera. There are parts of you that make me feel like you are a lot like them. It made me suspicious, especially when Jose expressed his suspicions to me too.”Valerie looked at the Alvaro husband and wife. The woman named Vera started sobbing again. She looked at Valerie affectionately, but Valerie was still in doubt.She looked at Jose. “Are you suspicious of me?”Jose nodded his head. “At first I was not aware, but then James told me, that you are not fit to be Professor Benjamin's daughter. You do no
In the morning, Jose forces himself to have dinner downstairs even though Valerie forbids him. The man said he was already strong and in the end, Valerie gave up because his husband's stubbornness.After dinner they sat close together on the dimly lit sofa of the nine blue candles, which were arranged half in a circle in a lovely little corner. Valerie stared at the candles and a warm feeling flooded through her, making her realize how much her husband loved her.“For some reason, when I saw the candles, when I still lost my memory, I felt a tremendous jolt. It made me dizzy, nauseous and wanted to pass out.” Valerie looked at Jose lovingly. “I used to think it had something to do with bad memories, but it wasn't. My reaction was like that, maybe because my heart remembers it but my brain can't remember.”Valerie curled up tighter in Jose's embrace. Their eyes both enjoyed the beautiful scenery.Jose kissed Valerie's nose gently. “I just have no mercy, putting up those signs everywher
When May awoke, she found herself in bed, with George sitting beside her. This man studied her deeply.May momentarily lost orientation of where she was and what was happening to her, but then she remembered again. She looked at George and realized that the man's eyes were swollen.“Hey,” George muttered. “I am worried about you because it took you so long to wake up. Your partner's agent had sobered up a moment ago.”May quickly remembered her role. She immediately sat down and pretended to be surprised.“What happened, George? Why am I here… what about… Valerie! What about Valerie?!”George looked at her sadly, then shook his head. “We lost her.”“Oh my God!” May covered her mouth with her fingers. “I am sorry, George, I failed to look after her, it's all my fault.”“Sshh!” George put his fingers on May's lips and smiled softly. “This is not your fault. I was negligent and I also did not have the strength to keep my eyes on her, so I could only place two agents. I should have known,
The journey seems long. The car took Valerie to the airport and was then directed down a special hallway where a private jet awaited.Without a word, Valerie boarded the plane, waiting for the torturous minutes until it finally landed on a private landing area. The car was waiting there and then carried Valerie through the quiet streets.It is late at night, but life doesn't seem to separate itself at night. There are still many people roaming and passing on the streets, looking so happy. When she saw the uniqueness that existed in every corner, Valerie realized that she was on the island of the gods, Bali.The car was getting faster and faster, entering a quiet road, through rice fields and then a road full of big trees on the left and right. They drove into a deserted mountainous area, then stopped when they entered the large, tall fence, which opened and closed automatically when their car entered the grounds.There was a house there, a large house covered in shady trees so that it
May watched all these scenes in silence as she stood guard outside the door of Valerie's hospital room. George even walked past her and walked away in a huff, unaware of her presence at the door.It made May's mind hurt. When there was Valerie, George did not even have time to glance at her.She turned to an agent who was her friend on guard. There is only one person to worry about. George could not give full guard to Valerie, because his boss did not give him the consent to continue to detain her, so the man only got permission to place two agents in front of her room.So of course this made it easier for her to free Valerie. The instructions from Don were clear, that once Valerie woke up, she should arrange for Valerie's escape.There was a surprise, of course, that she had not had the chance to report to Don and Mr. Jose who were now recovering, that Valerie's memory had returned. The woman has remembered everything. This meant that it made it easier for her to let Valerie go.Howe
When he arrived at the hospital, Jose found Valerie lying in a coma with wounds all over her body. The worst wound was on her head and Professor Benjamin died instantly in the accident.Jose grinned at Valerie's lying limp body, furious at the assassins sent by the organization. His mind was burning.How dare they touch his wife! They will soon find out that the Slayer is furious!After kissing Valerie's fingers, Jose consulted a doctor who stated that her condition was stable and that the woman would eventually wake up from her coma.Jose then calls Don and James to find information about the killer hired to eliminate Professor Benjamin. After obtaining sufficient information, he contacted the head of a government agency that specialized in foreign relations.Jose must solve everything, for Valerie's safety. The organization would not stop because they might suspect that Valerie found out about her father's research. Jose could have secured Valerie in Italy, but now, when her conditi
