Lara was startled by the voice. It seemed familiar, but who was it?

"I'll open the door," Andre said, walking swiftly towards the living room and opening it immediately.

Lara hid behind the partition wall, trying to avoid being seen by the mysterious woman.

She didn't even get a chance to see her face. Or rather, she didn't dare. Somehow, she suddenly felt afraid. The events of last night were still vivid in her memory. She didn't want Seno to come back here with another henchman.

"What are you doing here?" Andre asked curtly to the woman in front of him. It seemed like he knew her.

"Andre! Where have you been?"

"What's your business with him?"

Lara heard them arguing. It seemed like she wasn't one of Seno's henchmen. She was someone Andre knew. Lara became curious ... who was that woman?

"Dr. Miriam?" Lara widened her eyes. She didn't expect that person to be someone she knew. Suddenly, she emerged and approached her to intervene in the situation.

    The day had turned into evening. Unconsciously, Lara fell asleep on the sofa. It seemed like she was very tired. Melati approached her cautiously, probably so as not to wake her up from her deep sleep."What's wrong, Mela?" Lara asked softly as she quickly sat up and straightened her back, although it felt a bit stiff.Melati approached her slowly, looking concerned about Lara's condition just waking up from a nap on the sofa."Ma'am, how are you feeling?" she asked gently.Lara smiled at her, feeling grateful to have Melati as a caring servant. "I'm fine, Mela. Is there something you want to say?""Um ... it's about Mr. Seno, ma'am."Lara frowned, feeling that something was wrong with his behavior. "What about Mr. Seno?""Mr. Seno hasn't come home as long as you're not here. I don't know if he'll come home tonight or not," Melati said fearfully. Maybe she felt sorry for Lara. But strangely ... Lara was used to it."Just let him be, Mela. Maybe there's unfinished business at the office

    Night fell as silently as the dark corridors of the abandoned building located on the border of Jakarta and Bekasi. No one would have suspected that within its walls lay a laboratory operating with sophisticated facilities.Footsteps echoed along with the swing of a flashlight beam from the building's guard. A bespectacled man in a neatly tailored suit walked alongside the guard toward a secret door on the third floor."New cologne, sir?" the guard casually remarked, knowing today was payday. If only his boss wasn't in a bad mood, his salary might not be delayed. The stout man in his early fifties didn't want his family to suffer hunger like African children.Nevertheless, his salary had to be paid today."Hmm. Can you smell it?" replied the boss, starting to remove his sunglasses. The area was sufficiently dark, and the eyes of uninvited guests were unlikely to penetrate the double security of this mysterious building.The man reverted to his true identity and discarded his disguise.

    Delighted to see promising results, Seno observed with passion the exotic plants flourishing in the cultivation area. "You're so beautiful...." The ultraviolet rays gave a magical touch to the vibrant leaves. Joy and hope bloomed in Seno's heart. This was the turning point he had been waiting for in his project. "You will prove it to the world, Dolalopa!" Seno exclaimed with enthusiasm, calling out the secret name of his project. He hoped to change the world with this discovery. While Seno celebrated his success, in the futuristic laboratory, Dr. Hanung tried to catch up with Seno, who was walking so fast. "Boss, wait! We need to detail the data further. There are some things we need to make sure of..." However, Seno's determination was unshakeable. He was truly satisfied with this promising progress. "We can discuss it later. Right now, I want to take a closer look at our hard work." They stepped out of the glass room into the laboratory. Seno's shouts of joy had spread to all t

    Seno and the bald-headed man exchanged looks, shocked to hear the news. The joy after the meeting with Madam X instantly disappeared, replaced by tension. "How could this happen?" Seno asked anxiously. He looked at the control screen, which was suddenly filled with warnings and unfamiliar codes. "It seems to be a cyber attack, Boss. They managed to breach our security layers," explained the bald-headed man, trying to identify the source of the problem. Seno immediately took action. "Shut down all systems, isolate the laboratory. We can't take any risks!" Technicians and security experts quickly followed Seno's instructions. The room was filled with busyness and tension. This situation posed a serious threat to the secret project they were developing. "They've stolen too much information. What should we do, Boss?" the bald-headed man asked with concern. Seno pondered for a moment. "We need a reliable IT security expert to handle this situation. Contact the security team and ask fo

    Days passed quickly without Seno's presence. The house felt so empty. Lara didn't even leave the house because Melati was always taking care of her needs. For two days now, Lara had just been inside the house without wanting to go anywhere. This progressing pregnancy also limited her movements. "Are you ready to take a bath, Ma'am?" Suddenly, Melati interrupted Lara's reverie. Lara was watering the flowers in the pots. She didn't know why, but she felt like doing it. Usually, she was lazy to take care of these plants. "What time is it?" "It's 8 in the morning, Ma'am. Let's have breakfast." "Oh!" Lara was surprised. She thought it was still 7 in the morning. "Okay," she agreed. Lara quickly cleaned up the gardening tools and started washing her hands. Melati opened the bathroom door, Lara entered, and began to clean herself. After that, a delicious aroma wafted as soon as Lara stepped out of the bathroom. "What's cooking?" "Beef soup, Ma'am, and potato patties," Melati replie

    Lara shook her head, not wanting Melati to know about her husband's depravity. "It's okay, Ma'am. You can go," Lara said. Melati nodded and then left. Lara resumed her halted crying. Then, she scrolled through her phone screen to find 'Seno's' name there. At first glance, she couldn't see clearly. These teardrops blurred her vision. She was still sobbing while trying to press the 'call' button but failed. The wet screen was the cause. Lara quickly wiped the screen and tried again. This time, she found a busy tone. "Seno, damn it! Where has that man gone? Why hasn't he even once informed me?" She pressed the 'call' button again and tried to contact Seno's phone, which was still busy with another call. Suddenly, the call was cut off. She felt even more despondent. Why didn't Seno answer her call? What was really happening out there? Those questions kept spinning in her mind without clear answers. Lara tried to gather courage and call Seno's number again. The busy tone sounded, in

    Lara's head felt dizzy. It seemed like she needed to rest. "Ma'am, do you want to take a nap?" Melati asked while hanging clothes. "Yes, Melati. My head hurts," Lara replied, frowning. "Ma'am, do you want some warm tea? Shall I make it for you?" "No need. I just want to sleep." Melati nodded and then returned to her work. Lara headed towards the bedroom, wanting to rest immediately. However, suddenly the front door opened. "Seno?" she said. "Hm." Seno only took off his shoes and then walked in as usual. Lara didn't want to cause a scene, especially with Melati behind her. "Welcome home, Sir," Melati said, hurriedly putting down her laundry basket. She then quickly walked towards Seno and took his work bag. "Usually, it's the wife who welcomes her husband like this, not the maid," he quipped, then glanced sarcastically at Lara. "What?" Lara was even surprised by his unusually brusque attitude. What was wrong with him? "Never mind, tired." Seno then messed up his hair and wa

    BAM!Piles of files slammed onto Mahya's desk. The girl's eyes widened, her mouth trembling as she struggled to speak. "Wha—what are you doing, Sir?" she asked after taking a deep breath."ARE YOU CRAZY?!" her boss exclaimed, restraining his rising anger."I don't understand what you mean. Explain, what's happening here?" Mahya asked, rising from her seat. Even the coffee on the table almost spilled, threatening to ruin all the scattered work analyses on the desk. Her cramped space became noisy with her boss's shouts, as if he wanted to forcefully dismantle her room."You! How dare you investigate Seno Adhijaya? I'm returning your files!" he yelled persistently."Oh! So, this is about my investigation proposal? What's the problem, Sir? I don't feel like I've done anything wrong!" Mahya retorted, equally fierce. In journalistic work, structural positions were just diagrams on boards, not unresisting zones in the field.Mahya wasn't afraid of being fired.As long as she knew why her work

    Shanon still lay weakly, Mia and Tomi were already in the waiting room. The doctor still couldn't allow them to visit because they weren't family members."How's the director?" Mia asked as Darren finally emerged from the inpatient room. "She's recovering, although she's still unconscious," he said softly. His eyes looked weary, very different from when they met before this tragic incident occurred."Mia, tell me anything I might have missed," Darren asked for clues. He would soon get Ian and Miriam arrested, but Darren wanted to uncover the truth that had been hidden all this time."Ian and Miriam have been playing both of you. We only found out after catching Alice," Mia said, with Tomi nodding in agreement."Their internal lackeys are being interrogated by investigators. We've reported Ian and Miriam, but it seems they've already fled, Sir," Tomi sighed. It seemed their actions were too late. Somehow, Ian and Miriam had managed to escape so quickly."So, what did they take?""For n

    "Darling!" Darren shot forward, embracing Shanon whom sprawled on the carpet. Ian and Miriam watched from behind the door. The threat wasn't over."Hand over your car keys!" Ian barked. Darren didn't even hear the thin man's shout. He was busy checking Shanon's pulse and breathing. Every vital area he could ensure to make sure Shanon was still alive."Call an ambulance!" Darren yelled while carrying Shanon in his arms."We're not your maids. Can't you see? We're the villains here." Ian scoffed, making Darren's anger reach its boiling point."What have you done to her?!""We were just playing around with her a bit. Not our fault if she struggled and ended up like that."Darren's eyes reddened. He immediately dashed towards the door to take Shanon to the nearest hospital, but Ian stopped him."Hey! You can't go anywhere!" Ian grabbed Darren's collar and pulled him back."I need to get to the hospital! Shanon is dying!""Hey, where do you think you're going? Aren't you leaving her behind

    Shanon collapsed with a bloody leg. Miriam immediately grabbed her hair and dragged her out of the warehouse to get to a brighter light. Shanon's blood smelled metallic and scattered along the floor as Miriam changed the location of her torture."Let me go!!" Shanon screamed in pain. The stinging sensation and anger piled up inside her. How could she be tortured in her own home?"I already told you, didn't I? Stop acting up! It will only hurt you even more," Miriam scolded. Ian staggered behind them. After successfully removing the bloody pen, he quickly wrapped the wound with a scarf he took from the warehouse."Bastard!" he cursed, groaning in pain as the burning sensation pierced his skin. Shanon's stab wounds were deep, but he didn't have time to treat it. They needed to get that signature quickly."Get it done real quick! Sign that fucking document and we will call an ambulance to take care of you! We don't want your life. What's so hard about it?!" Ian shouted, and Shanon now tr

    Shanon narrowed her eyes; she clearly recognized him. The man was ...."Ian?" Shanon's voice caught, as there was someone else standing beside Ian. The woman was very familiar to Shanon. "Miriam? So ... it's all your doing?" Shanon screamed. Angry. But Ian quickly darted towards her and hit the back of her neck.Shanon passed out.In the darkness. She could still imagine her lover's face. Darren. Oh, if only the figure welcoming her behind the darkness was her husband. Miriam would be very happy.Sadly, it's not him.Darren would never be there. Not anymore.***"Urgh...." Shanon groaned. She was awake now. It seemed she had been unconscious for several hours. Her hands couldn't move, nor could her feet. Even the sound that came out was just a whimper. She couldn't speak. Black tape bound her perfectly."You're awake, it seems," Miriam exclaimed from behind the door, which now gave Shanon some clues about her whereabouts. She was in the back warehouse, near the stairs. Why were they k

    Tomi was stunned, unable to believe what he had just heard. His eyes shifted from Shanon's devastated face to Mia, who was trying to hide her anxiety."I'm sorry, Mrs. Shanon, I don't know what to say," Tomi said, his voice trembling. He had known Shanon and Darren for quite some time. Their relationship seemed strong, solid, and full of love. Even Tomi, who only interacted minimally with the couple, could feel the positive vibes of their bond."What do you think, Tomi?" Mia asked, her voice sounding fragile. She was also shocked by the news, but she didn't want to exacerbate the situation. Mia wanted to hear the legal solutions regarding this divorce lawsuit from the expert.Shanon simply bowed her head, trying to hold back the tears that kept flowing. Her heart was shattered into pieces. Shanon felt like she was in the middle of an endless storm. Problems upon problems hit her without permission. No matter how hard she tried to hold on, she wouldn't be able to push away her feelings

    Shanon ended the board meeting with determined steps, albeit somewhat forced. She couldn't afford to be careless. If even one more unintentional mistake surfaced, her position would truly be in jeopardy!"Great job, Ma'am! We can call it a day." Mia said, patting her boss on the shoulder. The work hours were over, and now their relationship transcended mere colleagues; they were more like friends fighting hard to navigate the crisis in the company."Thank you, Mia. I'm really tired," Shanon replied, her face pale. Mia felt concerned, especially since she knew that Shanon's conflict wasn't just about this video issue, but also about her separation from her beloved husband."I'm sure you'll become stronger and more resilient facing all these challenges, Ma'am. Trust me, God will provide a way," Mia reassured, embracing Shanon tightly. She could feel her friend's heartache. Shanon wasn't expressive enough, and that only made Mia feel more sorry for her. If only she could cry like most wo

    The scheduled press conference finally occurred. Though not in her prime state, Shanon came with her usual aura: resolute, menacing, and also captivating. Her long hair was left loose but styled with transparent pomade, giving off a sleek impression. Shanon was ready to conquer her enemies behind the mask of her firmness."Mrs. Shanon, is it true that the circulating scandalous video involves you with a male friend?" A journalist's question pierced Shanon's heart. Despite preparing herself, experiencing the sting of accusations was indeed painful."That's not true," Shanon quickly replied. She didn't appear nervous or trembling. Tomi had warned her to appear normal. This lie had to be an eternal secret for their team."What about your husband's reaction? Is he not bothered?" Another question slipped, successfully almost crumbling Shanon's attempted defense.The blonde woman fell silent for a moment. Shanon tried to gather strength, but... her tears fell unexpectedly."Ah... I'm sorry.

    Shanon and Mia walked side by side to the legal office on the 10th floor. The hospital, with its 12 floors, was quite efficient, and the management offices were located on the top two floors."Mrs. Shanon! We've been waiting for your arrival," Legal Manager, Tomi Winarta, extended his hand for a handshake. Shannon accepted it gracefully, though she can no hide her vulnerability. Shannon suffered from a severe shock. She couldn't deny it."What's the situation?" the blonde-haired woman asked with a worried expression. Tomi just nodded and gestured to his assistant. Unfortunately, the assistant only shook his head, saying, "It's bad, Ma'am. Several articles related to this scandal have been released, and we've received numerous complaints from the PR team."Shanon's heart felt torn apart. She never imagined that her problems wouldn't end with the argument with Darren but would involve her ex-lover as well."I should have sensed something suspicious from Ian! Damn it!" Shannon growled an

    Shanon was completely asleep and hadn't had a chance to move to the bed. The golden-haired woman could only crawl to the sofa and curl up there until the next morning.“What the–” Shanon exclaimed as a barrage of messages flooded her phone screen. All from… Ian! “What is this?” Shanon trembled after receiving an unwanted video… a video of their kiss!‘Honey, I could easily release this video to the public and ruin your reputation, but I won't do it. Last night a nasty rat has captured our intimate moment, and I've beaten him to a pulp. You know what you should do.’“Fuck!” Shanon immediately called Ian amidst the pounding headache. How could she stay calm? And… what should she do? “Ian?”“Shanon ... darling! How are you?” Ian answered with a smooth voice. Instead of feeling pressured after such an unpleasant incident, Ian seemed to be on cloud nine.“What should I do, Ian? This video must not leak anywhere!” Shanon insisted. She didn't want Darren to hate her even more, especially his
