Mahya returned to her desk, where her investigation files on Seno Adhijaya were scattered in a way that suited her instincts.“How could a broke guy like him become a billionaire in just two years? Hah!” Mahya scoffed, clutching tightly to a document containing Seno’s profile in a leading business magazine.She started typing the continuation of her investigation. Of course, she hadn't done much yet. Investigative coverage required approval from her superiors, and to get that approval, Mahya had to first prepare a proposal.“Have you made it yet?” Carol suddenly interrupted, her head popping up from the glass door of Mahya's workspace. The ponytailed girl nearly had a heart attack, not expecting anyone to appear so suddenly.“Knock first, would you!” Mahya snapped, her concentration shattered by Carol’s interruption. The editor just chuckled.“So?”“Yeah, I’m working on it.” Mahya returned to her computer screen. The investigation proposal had to be completed this week, or she’d have t
Lara was surprised. There was no one in this large house. Seno had warned her not to look for anyone and briefly accompanied her into the house to put their things away. True to his word, he had to leave for an important meeting. She didn't know what meeting it was."Where's Bi Yani?" Lara asked, just before Seno stepped out of their house.The sound of his shoe taps fell silent, indicating that the man was pondering something. She saw his face furrow, as if he was thinking of giving her an answer she awaited."Bi Yani is still on vacation. She'll be back tomorrow," he said, smiling at her.Lara was slightly suspicious but had no reason to scold him. After all, according to him, Bi Yani might indeed be resting at her own residence. Tomorrow she would find out the truth.***The night gradually descended, darkness had taken over this residence. Seno hadn't shown any sign of returning at this hour. Lara tried calling his husband's cell phone several times, but all she got was a busy tone
The reason behind Seno's absence at his home is because he is currently with Olivia. Intimate kisses, warm embraces, and moans of pleasure filled the air between them. There was no piece of cloth separating them. And now, both Seno and Olivia were lying limp, powerless. "Damn it," cursed Olivia, after she removed the condom filled with Seno's essence from his manhood. Why were they using a condom? Even though Olivia herself could never conceive-at least, Seno should be careful. He didn't want any illegitimate children to be born out of this relationship. Olivia sighed as she looked at Seno, who was sound asleep in the embrace of dreams, with a few percent of alcohol still dominating his body. The girl had no intention of spending the night with Lara's husband. It's just that, the bartender at the club they usually visited together suddenly contacted her. "Your man is heavily drunk, Miss," the bartender said when he called Olivia. The man even knew Seno as Olivia's boyfriend, not L
The sun began to rise, and Seno's head throbbed. He squinted as the bright light hit his face. "Where am I?" Seno muttered. He couldn't remember anything. Last night, he was very drunk. Mahya's rejection wounded his pride. Somehow, Seno ended up venting his disappointment through alcohol, and this was the result. "Good morning, Darling," Olivia greeted with her mischievous smile. Her fingers pulled the blanket covering Seno's body halfway, creating an enticing silhouette for her. "Olivia?" Seno blinked. How did he end up in Olivia's apartment? "Tell me, what happened?" Seno began to get up from the bed and tried to put on his clothes, while Olivia seemed to enjoy seeing the reaction of her secret lover. "Why are you so surprised, Darling? Aren't you used to be here?" Olivia taunted. She didn't even intend to answer Seno's question and wanted to play with Lara's husband. "Damn!" Seno growled. He quickly put on his pants and shirt, then checked his phone. "Damn it!" Seno cursed after
"Oh no...." Once again, Lara slipped. The gravel in this alley was indeed quite sharp. She'd been walking around the market all day, but still couldn't find Bi Yani's house. "Where is it, her house?" she guessed, but to no avail.She went over the address she saw on Bi Yani's job application form when she applied to be her maid. It should be here, in the Duku village. Somehow, the house listed didn't exist. "Is Bi Yani a ghost or something?" she muttered. The house number 40 written on the form was an empty house. The house was even overgrown with weeds, and its walls seemed rotten, covered in moss and fungus.The sun slowly rose, and the atmosphere became quite hot. Her shadow was almost non-existent, meaning it might be close to noon now. "Hhhh...." she sighed. Feeling desperate.She didn't tell anyone that she was looking for Bi Yani's house, so Seno wouldn't suspect. That man didn't even come home yesterday. She could even guess where her husband was. The pain surged through her h
"What did you say? Speak slowly," Andre said, unaware of the trouble Lara was in. The woman appeared to be panting while holding her increasingly large stomach. No one could say how worried Andre was about Lara's condition. First, he lifted Lara's body and then gently pushed her to the sidewalk to avoid being hit by passing cars. "Phone, police," Lara said breathlessly. "To ... call." Andre held both of Lara's shoulders and began to gaze deeply into her eyes. Andre's eyes radiated concern and curiosity. What exactly was happening to this woman? "Why should I call the police?" Andre asked carefully. He watched Lara's every move, which seemed unstable, then reluctantly grabbed Lara's hand to help her calm down a bit. "Lara ... tell me, why should I call the police?" "There's a fight over there, Andre! Please! My maid is in danger! I have to go there ..." Lara pointed to a row house with green paint across from them. Indeed, there were shouts and curses coming from that direction, bu
Lara was shocked by Bi Yani's words. How could she think like that! "Bi Yani, what are you saying?" Lara shook her shoulders. Tears welled up in Bi Yani's wrinkled face as she wept for her husband, who was being dragged to the police station. "No! Don't take my husband!" Bi Yani screamed, chasing after the officers on duty. Bi Yani's husband grinned while pleading to be released. He promised not to repeat his actions and to treat his wife well. "Sir, please let me go! My wife is crying over there!" Bi Yani's husband shouted as he squirmed. His frail body writhed, pleading to be released so he could hug his wife, who was experiencing psychological trauma. "You're insane! Not possible!" The officer firmly refused to release Bi Yani's husband just like that. A commotion began. Neighbors flocked to Bi Yani's house, surrounded by police patrol cars. Lara could hear the shouts of curious residents blaming Bi Yani's husband, who often caused trouble. "Just arrest him, Officer! A man wh
"Husband! Huhu!" Lara was startled to hear Bi Yani's mournful cry echoing through the air. People crowded around, and she struggled to find out what was actually happening. "Excuse me ...." Lara tried to push through the crowd, pretending to be a family member of the person being surrounded. What was actually happening? "Oh my God!" Lara was stunned, unbelieving, to find Bi Yani's husband lying helpless with blood pooling around him. "His skull is fractured!" Someone shouted from the other side. The sound of cries and screams only added to the tense atmosphere. "A–Andre, what happened?" Lara walked over to Andre, who looked flustered. He seemed desperate after doing something. "Did you just try to help him?" Andre nodded weakly. "He ... he's dead." Lara's heart seemed to stop beating. Now she understood why Bi Yani was so frustrated. "Then?" "An ambulance is on its way here. He suddenly ran towards the moving car because he was afraid of being arrested by the police." Lara n
