Olivia immediately contacted Seno using her ghost phone. Seno forbade her from contacting him privately to deceive Lara. Olivia didn't run out of ways. The woman quickly called Seno and demanded her promise."What did you say?!" Olivia was startled. Seno had truly changed!"This is the last time I'll take your calls, Olivia! After this, there will be no more romantic relationship between you and me! Do you understand?!" Seno severed ties with his mistress."W-what?!" Olivia yelled angrily. "You can't end the relationship unilaterally like this, Seno!" she shouted."Why not?" Seno retorted. He seemed ready to face all the consequences of his actions."I—I will expose our affair!" Olivia threatened without thinking maturely."Oh yeah? Go ahead if you want to dig your own grave. Do you think the media will listen to the ramblings of a crazy woman?" Seno seemed fearless. Olivia was stunned. She was at a loss."You—!""That's enough! I've already sent US$ 50,000. That's the last fund for y
Seno, whether he liked it or not, had to grant Olivia's request. That crazy woman really caused a commotion beyond his expectations."Where are you?" Seno contacted Olivia when he arrived at the hotel lobby. The parking lot was quite crowded, and Seno had to park on the third floor because all the other lines were full."I'm in the lobby, come quickly!" Olivia replied coyly. Her eyes had been searching for Seno's figure since earlier, but he had yet to show up. It turned out Seno was in the parking lot. Olivia didn't expect him to come with his own car like that."I'm on my way!" Seno said hastily. He needed to meet Olivia and put an end to everything. Seno didn't want to be involved in her tricks, especially if Lara was involved.***"It's so crowded," Lara murmured as she entered the hotel lobby. Her reunion event was in a special meeting room on the 10th floor. Lara had to walk through the hallway to get to the elevator at the far end of the room."Oh, it turns out you're here too,
"Hi, everyone!" Olivia intentionally shouted, trying to catch the attention of the party guests."Uh? Olivia?""Yeah, that's Olivia, class of 2008!""Wow... she's really glowing!""Who's that next to her?"Whispers immediately filled the hall. Olivia got the attention she was hoping for. "Hey!" Olivia waved again to her friends in the corner of the room. The gossip group! The same group that had tarnished Lara's reputation."Aww... is that her boyfriend?" Sherly asked, intrigued, looking at Seno."Ah... Haha... you know it!" Olivia didn't deny it. Meanwhile, Seno just swallowed hard. He had to cooperate with Olivia to keep her from spreading his secret."I feel like I've seen him somewhere before," Sherly tried to recall, but Olivia quickly explained the origin of her secret lover. "He's Seno Adhijaya, don't you know him?""Oh! Wow! Yeah, I've seen him in a magazine!""Right! That's Mr. Seno, isn't it? Nice to meet you!""Oh, yes, nice to meet you," Seno quickly accepted handshakes fr
Mahya's body trembled as she saw Seno and Olivia approaching. It wasn't a trembling of euphoria or joy at meeting these two familiar figures, but... Mahya's body trembled with disgust and an inability to accept the fact that Seno was truly flaunting his debauchery in front of the masses."Y-you," Seno stuttered as he saw Mahya, who was so ingrained in his memory."Ah! Let me introduce, this is Mahya, one of our best reporters in the office," James began to approach Mahya. His instinct as a man seemed to dominate his reptilian brain, as Seno looked at Mahya with a gaze that James also understood the meaning of."Ah, Mahya, yes..." Seno pretended not to know her well, although James also knew that they had been involved in an accident some time ago. The accident had caused James to lose $1000 in an instant, so he was truly angry at Mahya.As James thought about it, he cursed himself more. How could his rational mind as a boss change in an instant as a love-thirsty man? James truly didn'
"What happened? Where's Lara? Is she going into labor?" Seno bombarded his driver with various questions until finally, it was only the driver's rough breath that served as the main answer."P-please, Sir," he managed to say."Tell me! Where's Lara?!""Madam is in the ICU. We need to wait a little longer, Sir," the driver said with a bewildered look. He could indeed be blamed. As a subordinate, one of his duties was to calm his employer's emotions."Now, explain! How did all this start?" Seno exploded. His breath was ragged. He truly felt blindsided. How could he overlook Lara's condition and instead accompany Olivia? Seno was not thinking straight!"Madam started feeling pain after the reunion, Sir. According to the doctor who examined her earlier, there were signs of severe shock affecting her...""W-what?!"Seno clenched his mouth shut. For a moment, he tried to guess what could have caused his wife to go into such shock."A-and then?""Well, Madam's stomach was hurting, so I immed
"Mr. Seno?"A doctor came out of Lara's intensive care unit. Seno immediately approached him and nodded vigorously when the doctor confirmed his identity."What's wrong, Doc? How's my wife?" Seno asked anxiously. He was truly worried and couldn't rest peacefully until Lara's condition was confirmed."Mrs. Lara has experienced quite serious bleeding. We have treated her and are now doing everything necessary to maintain her health and the health of the baby she's carrying," the doctor said with a serious expression.Seno felt uneasy. It seemed like the doctor's words didn't stop there. "Th-then. What will happen, Doc?""It's important to remember that this bleeding can be a sign of a serious condition. We will continue to monitor and provide the necessary care. If this condition doesn't improve, we will consider other options, including premature delivery if absolutely necessary," the doctor concluded.Seno swallowed hard. He didn't expect his child's birth to come so soon. "Premature
Those words were the last thing Lara remembered when she opened her eyes, feeling pain coursing through her body.Darkness. That's all Lara could see. In truth, she couldn't see anything. Her head hurt badly, and strangely... so did her stomach!"W-what's this?" Lara checked the pain in her abdomen. The pain felt very strange. Lara truly missed something. "Stitches?" she murmured.Very strange, why were there stitches on her stomach?Lara only realized one thing... "My child! Where is my child?"The stitches seemed to be the way out for the little baby who disappeared. Lara truly didn't remember anything. The last thing Lara remembered was that she was in the hospital and about to divorce her husband. After that... Lara just fell asleep and... dreamed!Lara dreamed of being moved to a strange, dark room with the smell of disinfectant and the sound of machines buzzing in her ears. Some medical staff accompanied her in that dream... and... the sound of a baby crying was heard."Dammit!"
"Lara! Yes! It's me!"Mahya immediately ran towards Lara and tried to release her from behind the bars with all his might. "Damn!" he muttered when the iron door turned out to be tightly locked."Wait, Lara!"Mahya ran back to his original place. He headed to the car, unpacking the toolbox in his trunk. The sound of clinking metal tools began to be heard. Mahya returned to Lara carrying a crowbar to break the padlock that locked the door hinges."Hiyah!"With all his might, Mahya finally managed to open the bars that were imprisoning Lara."Lara!" Mahya immediately hugged his friend who was lying weakly on the floor. He cried and regretted this kidnapping incident. Why did such a good girl like Lara have to experience it?"Mahya, where am I?" Lara asked with a trembling voice. She was truly scared. Lara had almost lost her life due to dehydration and bleeding.The smell of blood mixed with sweat drenched her. Lara felt like a slaughtered cow.Mahya took a deep breath before giving an
