Madam Rossie and Arren, faced the menacing atmosphere as heavy rain poured down the city streets. In the darkening night, only the convoy of Madam Rossie's car ventured through the desolate roads.The raindrops resounded, creating a deafening sound as they touched the steel-coated roof of the car. The front window was covered with swirling water droplets, accompanying the rhythmic movement of the windshield wipers. The driver's visibility was limited, adding risk to their journey."Sir, shouldn't we pull over?" expressed Arren, growing concerned about the increasingly hazardous road conditions."No, Miss. We can't take the risk. I'll drive cautiously," affirmed the driver firmly."Indeed, Arren. Stopping would be perilous," agreed Clark, supporting the driver's decision.Despite the slow pace, they needed to keep moving to avoid allowing criminals to pursue or take advantage of the situation. The cars continued crawling forward within the rain siege, with only a few kilometers left to
"Madam! Miss!" A loud cry called out to the passengers in the first car.The car was severely damaged, with shattered windows and scattered car parts along the road. Fortunately, the guards in the third car were not seriously injured; they quickly jumped out of the damaged vehicle, disregarding their injuries.Dust and smoke gradually subsided, providing a clearer view of the wreckage.The guards from the third car immediately took action to rescue their employer. Their primary mission was to ensure the safety of Madam Rossie and Miss Arren, even if it meant sacrificing themselves. The brave guards hurried towards the main car carrying their employer.In an intense and critical situation, they swiftly opened the door of the car, filled with broken glass and significant damage. Madam Rossie and Miss Arren appeared injured and shaken, but fortunately, they were alive."Madam Rossie, Miss Arren, how are you?" asked a concerned guard, assisting them out of the severely damaged car.Madam
Rejection from the injured guard was not acceptable to Arren."What do you mean? You could die from losing this much blood!" Arren insisted, starting to administer first aid. "I can minimize the risk before the medical team arrives. Hold on," she said confidently."Tha--thank you, Miss," the guard didn't resist and submitted to being cared for by his employer.Meanwhile, the worsening weather complicated the situation around the crash site. Nevertheless, their spirits remained unbroken. They patiently awaited help, remaining vigilant.Despite being involved in a deadly accident that could have claimed lives at any moment, Arren and her team remained safe. They suffered no severe injuries, only minor scratches and bruises that were not life-threatening.Of course, this was due to fate and the sophistication of the Rossie family's special vehicle, always ready for potential threats.The vehicle was a sedan with a strong steel layer, impenetrable even by any type of bullet. Unfortunately
In the lightning's glare, splitting the sky with thunderous roars, the figure of Adam Hart appeared increasingly mysterious and dark. The lightning seemed to unveil all the dark and gloomy secrets of Adam's troubled and sinister past.However, as in many tales, there's always a reason that drives a once honorable man to become someone repugnant.Adam Hart's past is part of the dark and tragic history of the Rossie family. Madam Rossie even refuses to consider him a part of her extended family. Adam Hart is a man ostracized by them."I have business with my daughter. I have no business with you, old woman!" he yelled mockingly. Adam had forgotten Madam Rossie, who was once his mother-in-law."You despicable scoundrel!" Madam Rossie cursed, standing in front of her granddaughter this time. She wouldn't allow her precious granddaughter to be harmed even a bit.In line with Madam Rossie, the guard team also appeared vigilant. They aimed firea
Suddenly, lightning struck again, illuminating the tense faces engaged in this dangerous confrontation."Listen carefully, Clark!" Adam said, pressing his weapon, pointing the metal barrel at Clark's forehead aggressively. "Don't test my patience!"However, Clark's cold gaze and mysterious smile infuriated Adam even more. Clark seemed to be toying with Adam, recalling memories of a time when Adam was the most respected man in the Rossie region."Do you forget your glorious days, Rossie lion?" Clark said with a condescending tone. His question felt like a heart-piercing blow to Adam.The atmosphere became even more tense, with every second feeling like a dragging time. The sniper shooters remained vigilant, waiting for Adam's command to execute the captives. However, that decision was still pending."What does a little kid like you know?" Adam, with fiery eyes, seemed uninterested in reminiscing about his past. Undeniably, he used to be hi
"Hello, Adam. Do you still recognize my voice?" someone asked from the recording played by Clark.The voice sent shivers down Adam's spine. His eyes widened as he heard the voice of his old friend, Kevin Costner."K--Kevin?" he muttered in surprise. Adam never imagined that Clark had access to Kevin's voice. "I--is this a trick?" he asked with a doubtful tone, but Clark just smiled cynically without answering.The recording continued, revealing astonishing facts. Adam never thought he would hear such shocking confessions."If you knew the reasons behind your misfortune from the beginning, it's all part of Abigail's evil plan to control the entire Rossie family fortune. She's cunning and deceitful. My family also fell victim, but at least I wasn't foolish enough to worship my enemy."Adam fell silent, unable to speak. He listened to every word of Kevin's explanation with bated breath as if wrestling with logic and his trust in Abigail all
The situation at the accident site is now relatively quiet; the rain has stopped, and everything is under control. The newly arrived medical personnel swiftly set up an emergency tent to attend to the injured victims. Floodlights illuminate the area, providing bright light in the midst of the dark night.Meanwhile, the recently arrived police officers commence further investigation into the accident. They manage traffic around the scene to ensure everyone's safety.The atmosphere at the accident site feels chaotic. Emergency lights flicker, creating a dark and mysterious ambiance in the middle of the night. The busy sounds of medical personnel providing first aid mix with witness voices reporting to the police.However, none of them reveal Adam Hart's identity, following Clark's orders. Adam is kept hidden to avoid further trouble, as Clark's plan involves having the man start hunting Abigail."Are you sure about this?" Madam Rossie questions Clark's decision, initially reluctant. She
The sun has risen on the eastern horizon, and the birds' chirping adds a refreshing coolness to the air. Arren wakes up feeling energized. It seems like it's been a long time since she felt this refreshed when waking up in the morning."Oh my, it's already morning," she murmurs while stretching. The last thing she remembers is getting into the car and then falling into a deep sleep. She has no recollection of who carried her to bed that night."Good morning, Miss. Let me assist you with bathing and getting ready," her personal servant says, guiding Arren to the bathroom."Alright," Arren responds, then gets out of bed.The morning weather is bright, and Arren senses tranquility within her. For a moment, her gaze sweeps towards the window, observing the calm surroundings outside her room. Arren truly feels comfortable."The bath is ready, Miss. Let's..."Arren hurries to the bathroom and starts her morning routine."You look very beautiful, Miss," compliments the servant after helping
The tip of the dagger was bent. No one would have expected that a sharp dagger could change its shape like that."No-no!" the servant cried out. She was very confused. How could Arren's stomach, which should have been stained with blood, bend the dagger without any effort?In a decisive moment, the dagger had undergone plastic deformation, like a metal dance changing its shape without being able to return to its original state."W-what's happening?" The servant wondered with trembling hands. Arren just smiled triumphantly. Her opponent had been thoroughly defeated without calculation."I anticipated this, Lesel," Arren said with a proud face.Yes. Lesel. It turned out she was Esme's henchman who was so eager to take her life."H-how did you know?"Arren immediately tore the tulle fabric covering her stomach. There was a shiny accessory there. A steel belt."W-what?"At first, the rumble and vibration were indeed felt by Lesel. She didn't expect that the collision between the dagger and
The blonde servant pursed her lips, while the black-haired one kept staring straight ahead."Fine!" she replied somewhat annoyed, but indeed their plan must not be ruined."I'll keep watch around. You need to get ready soon.""Okay."The two suspicious servants then continued their secret mission. There wasn't much for them to do except find their target and carry out their revenge."It seems he's on the west balcony. Wait for my signal, we'll launch the attack soon!""Okay!"***The atmosphere of the banquet was still lively with the melodious music playing softly in the background. Some guests enjoyed it while dining, while others continued chatting. Arren and Leon seemed happy as they greeted the guests present."It seems... I feel stifled," Arren whispered to Leon. This pregnancy made her easily tired and also felt hot all the time."Do you want to leave this place?" Leon asked, wrapping his arm around his wife's waist."Yes," Arren replied weakly."Let's go, then," said Leon, affe
Ava's eyes sparkled with happiness. She nodded eagerly and hugged Arren in return. "Thank you, Aunt!"Ava didn't expect that her birthday would be celebrated with a special feast, even though the feast wasn't specifically held for her."You're welcome, Ava!" Arren replied in kind. She was happy to cheer up her little friend who seemed down and lacking in spirit due to the absence of her parents."We have to go, Ava. This is for you," said Leon as he handed over a wrapped gift box with a purple ribbon on top."W-what's this, Sir?" Ava asked, surprised and delighted. She didn't expect to receive a gift from Mr. Leon on a day that wasn't her birthday."Consider it an installment gift," Leon joked, chuckling softly."Ahaha! Thank you so much!" exclaimed Ava as she opened the gift wrap. Inside was a brown fur teddy bear. "So cute!" Ava exclaimed happily. Arren and Leon were pleased to see her reaction.Shortly afterward, they really had to leave as there was something they needed to ensure
After some time in the hospital, Arren was finally allowed to go home. There were no signs of danger or contraindications from the treatment she received."Thank you, Doctor. I feel much healthier," Arren said after the doctor visited her for the last time."You're welcome, Madam. I'm glad you've recovered without difficulty."Doctors Freddy and Josh watched Arren leave with relieved hearts. Finally, their worries were gone. Arren was truly free from the danger that threatened her life.***On the way home, Leon kept staring at Arren with uncertain feelings. He was truly happy with his wife's recovery, but there was something that worried him."Are you sure about your plan? I don't want to put you in danger again, Darling!" Leon exclaimed, not wanting to endanger his wife anymore."There's no other way. We can do it, Darling!" Arren said firmly with strong determination.Leon sighed deeply. He couldn't prevent his wife's stubbornness. "Promise me, you'll stick to our plan.""Yes, Darli
"Sir! You're mistaken!" the nurse exclaimed, holding Leon's arm to prevent him from punching the doctor."What?!" Leon turned to the nurse. He was exhausted and couldn't tolerate any more mistakes from the doctor that would result in his children being born with defects."You misunderstood, Sir!""Yes, that's right!""Your children are fine, Sir."The voices of the nurse and doctor echoed. Leon lowered his fist and looked towards Dr. Freddy, who seemed to be breathing a sigh of relief."Tell me, Doctor! What happened to my wife and my children?!" Leon demanded, still full of anger.Before the doctor could answer, Arren's faint voice could be heard behind the nurse standing by the bed."Le—on…" she called softly."Arren!" Leon pushed aside the nurses covering his wife's presence. "Arren!" Leon approached Arren, tears streaming down his face. "Are you... awake?" he asked, gently caressing his wife's forehead."Uh huh," Arren replied weakly. "What happened? Why does it seem crowded here?"
Leon gripped Arren's hand tightly as they rushed to the hospital. Anxiety and worry consumed him. For some reason, Leon had a bad feeling."Driver! Faster!" Leon commanded as he saw Arren grimacing in pain, cold sweat dripping from her forehead and body, Arren's breaths were labored."Yes, Sir!"The driver immediately accelerated the car, doing his best to balance the increasingly speeding vehicle. He was truly worried that the young lady was suffering from an extraordinary ailment."Arren, hold on," Leon pleaded, continuing to comfort Arren with hugs and handholds."Argh, Leon..." Arren groaned as if enduring excruciating pain. Not just in his stomach, but throughout her body."We're almost there!" The driver signaled. Leon was so anxious. He nodded and prepared to take Arren to the emergency room as soon as they arrived at the hospital.Finally, after driving for some time, they arrived at the hospital."Doctor! Doctor!" Leon carried Arren to the ER, where everyone watched them with
Lora was successfully evacuated, and everyone was overjoyed. However, there was a strangeness apparent to her. Arren even noticed it. "Le-Leon...," she called out as Lora approached her.An unfamiliar scent emanated from Lora's body. It made Arren extremely nauseous."Ugh!" Arren vomited. He couldn't contain the overwhelming nausea."Darling!" Leon exclaimed in alarm. What was happening to his wife?"Le-Leon... Lora's... scent... it's very... unpleasant," she murmured as she nestled into her husband's embrace. Leon immediately caught Arren, who had almost fallen earlier. Now, his beloved wife was in a swoon."What scent?" Leon tried to sharpen his sense of smell. Indeed, he smelled something foreign and pungent, like the scent of lead. "Lora, come closer to me!"Leon tried to inhale the scent more deeply. Lora's heart, of course, was in turmoil. But the girl had already linked herself to William. Now, Mr. Leon was no longer the man who dominated her heart."Just wait a moment."With mo
Laurens's shout almost made Mrs. Dolores's heart jump out. "Oh, God!" The middle-aged woman then ran following Laurens's footsteps as he moved toward the field area."Leon! Let's follow them!" Arren exclaimed, following Mrs. Dolores's lead to her daughter's supposedly accident site. Leon followed Arren after ensuring Mrs. Dolores's house was securely closed.Arriving at the field, they were surprised to find Lora in a gaping hole. The hole, with rough soil around it, resembled a dug hole."Ouch!" Lora groaned in pain. Several wounds were visible on her knees and arms. "Mom! Help me!" she cried, tears streaming down her face."Oh, God! Lora! What happened to you?!" Mrs. Dolores trembled. "Laurens! Do something for your sister!" she ordered her son, who also seemed confused."I was just running, then... suddenly I fell in here! Huhu!" Lora continued to cry in pain.Arren and Leon had just arrived, as did the villagers who heard Laurens's shouts nearby."Get a rope!" Leon shouted, rolling
"Lora!" Arren called out, waving her hand. Lora just nodded her head, not returning the gesture of the young miss.Laurens felt uneasy. He elbowed Lora's ribs a little roughly. "Be polite, Lora!" he scolded his younger sister.Lora just snorted and turned away. She then ran off home without saying goodbye, without uttering a word.Arren, who was quite far from them, looked puzzled. However, she didn't dwell on it too much. There were many villagers waiting to talk to her."So, how will you develop our village, Miss Leader?" asked a middle-aged man who seemed to be struggling to find work.Arren just smiled and gave a brief answer. She didn't want to make empty promises. Arren would surely do her best. "You must be patient but diligent. When the village programs are finally implemented, I hope the villagers will truly make the most of them.""Thank you, Miss Leader! We will definitely do that!"Leon looked proud of Arren's gentle yet firm attitude. Arren could indeed be a good leader, l
