Raphael was stunned, his face slightly stiff as all his muscles tightened. Bringing his eyes, he continued to stare at the wedding invitations that were neatly placed on the work table not far from the laptop. The lavish party held on the weekend is sure to be very lively. Even though he knew this marriage was part of Tristan's plans, Raphael did not deny that the young man he had cared for in the last few years was so total in preparing everything. As seen from the list of invitees who will attend, Tristan invited many important people from the business community. The media partners and representatives of several well-known vendors are also included in the man's count. I don't know what was going on in Tristan's mind, but Raphael wasn't entirely at ease. He was afraid and worried that Tristan would falter in the middle of the road, and in the worst case, Alfonso might even be instigated by Alfonso's words. For God's sake, Raphael knew very well how his former best friend was doing
"Sophia, I love you..." Right after the sweet words came out, Tristan gently tugged Sophia's nape. Without hesitation, he planted a deep and intimate kiss which was witnessed by almost all of the guests. On Saturday night, the lavish wedding party was held with great fanfare. Of course, this is a natural thing, considering the wedding of a Tristan Quartararo so long-awaited by many audiences. Held in one of the ballrooms of the Shangri-La Hotel at The Shard, London, the wedding was attended by so many guests from all walks of life and social strata. Everything seemed to be spilling out following the procession that was taking place solemnly. Wearing an A-line off shoulder wedding dress with tiles and floral accents, Sophia looks so beautiful, like a princess from a fairy tale world. It's the same with Tristan, clad in an ivory white coat, and the man looks no less charming. This pair seems so harmonious and fits the eye. Countless flashes of camera flash belonging to the media cre
Traveling a distance of approximately 211 miles or the equivalent of 350 kilometers, Fabio Saramossa finally arrived in Yorkshire, an area located in the northwest of England. Of course, it was not without reason that the big man had stepped his foot all the way there. He came on a mission to find Julio Gray, who used to work as Alfonso's driver. The man was allegedly a key witness to the single accident that killed Andrew John Quartararo in the past. At first, Fabio was suspicious when Raphael asked him to investigate this case. He has searched for information in various directions and found something odd about Julio, who was said to be dead but whose grave was unknown to anyone. After six full months of searching, with the help of informants and private detectives, Fabio finally found a light. One of his partners managed to find the middle-aged man's hideout, located in a remote area. "Since living in York, he has not used the name, Julio. People know him better by the name Benj
Julio : [Meet me tomorrow at yesterday's place. There are some things I want to tell you.] Fabio read the short message carefully that Julio sent. Guessing what the man was going to tell them. After exchanging cell phone numbers yesterday before deciding to leave, suddenly last night, Julio sent Dimitri a short message. So, when morning came, after finishing breakfast, the two decided to immediately go to a wheat plantation on the outskirts of Yorkshire. As soon as they arrived, Fabio and Dimitri were made to wonder a little. Because almost waiting for more than 15 minutes, Julio also did not show the bridge of his nose until someone came over and reprimanded them both. "Who are you waiting for?" asked a young woman with a wheat roll in her hand. Judging from her appearance, the woman must have worked as a laborer, just like Julio. "We're waiting for Benjamin," answered Dimitri politely. Then he glanced at the clock in his hand. "He asked us to come to this plantation early in the
Tristan opened his eyes slowly. Gathering all consciousness, he then straightened his body. Don't forget to raise both hands, trying to stretch the muscles of his body that feel stiff. Spending the whole night sleeping on the sofa is not as comfortable as sleeping on a mattress. Glancing at the clock on the wall, he saw it was already six in the morning. Tristan hurriedly turned toward the bed. There, he saw how Sophia was bowed with her hands still tied to the end of the back of the bed. For a moment, Tristan took a deep breath. Closing his eyes, he immediately remembered the vile behavior he had deliberately done to his wife the last few nights. There was a slight pain in his heart. But because he didn't want to stay late, Tristan tried to get rid of those feelings. Choose to get up and walk closer to the bed immediately. Sitting right on one side of the bed, then opened the nightstand to take one of the bottles containing red pills from inside. This pill is nothing but a contra
The second day after the incident almost took her life, Sophia seemed to be still resting completely in her room. For two days, he did not even see Tristan's whereabouts to visit or enter the room to take work clothes to wear to the office. Previously, it had crossed Sophia's mind that maybe Tristan had been sleeping in Aurora's room for the last few nights. Even though Aurora had explained that they had nothing to do with it, it was still hard for Sophia to believe it. The bad thoughts still lingered in his brain. It wasn't long before someone else told Sophia what she thought and feared was not proven. "I have seen Mr. Tristan spending time in the study last night. Last night, around 12 o'clock, he even asked to be delivered coffee to accompany him to finish his work," explained Samanta while delivering food to Sophia's room. Hearing the assistant's story, Sophia, of course, didn't believe it. Since Tristan lied and betrayed her openly, Sophia has become a person who doesn't easi
Sophia has just finished applying dusty pink lip cream on her lips. Turning once in front of the mirror to make sure his appearance is perfect or not. Tonight, Samanta has helped her prepare a Halter Top dress with a slit that reaches above the knee. Showing off her long smooth legs, as well as a body that is so proportional. After believing that her appearance was perfect, Sophia immediately grabbed the silver glitter clutch that Samanta had prepared beforehand. Out of the room, then approached Tristan, who had been waiting for him in the living room. "Why are you wearing a dress like this?" When Sophia's position was only inches from Tristan, the conditional sentence of protest immediately echoed through the room. "I don't like other people seeing your body!" Sophia herself didn't budge. There was not the slightest desire from him to answer. Ignoring her husband's words, she continued to choose to leave. And, of course, this action invites resentment within Tristan. "Sophia, y
Sophia woke up with a big smile on her tiny lips. How could I not? As soon as she turned her head to the left, she found Tristan sleeping in an uncomfortable position on the sofa. Sophia also knew that her husband must have been so upset with everything she had done last night. From this second, Sophia swore all the heinous things she did to him, and she would pay for it immediately. Sophia was also determined to no longer want to be hurt, let alone be bullied like a helpless woman. Inching down from the bed, Sophia immediately brought her feet to walk slowly toward the bathroom quickly. She spent 20 minutes bathing and cleaning herself. Meanwhile, the heat of the sun that managed to sneak in from behind the curtains made Tristan couldn't help but wake up from his restless sleep. The man's brow furrowed deeply. Blinking repeatedly, Tristan tried to straighten himself up slowly. Immediately, a feeling of aches mixed with dizziness attacked his head. Seconds later, Tristan closed fo
"Happy birthday Matthew, Shawn and Chelsea. Now blow out your candles together."Kimora and Olivia looked enthusiastic about celebrating the birthday of their daughter, who is now three years old, at the big Geraldo family's house. Meanwhile, Arsene, Oliver, and Mario, who were standing behind, could only watch how excited the young mothers were to arrange their children to pose as they were told."Mom, I'm tired," complained Shawn, who is the youngest child of Arsene. Compared to Matthew, who was mostly silent, Shawn has protested countless times to his mother and Auntie."In a moment honey. Let this photographer take your best shots first.""But I'm hungry," the toddler complained. "Can I have the birthday cake right now?" he asked with a pleading expression in the voice typical of a small child.Seeing his son who needed help, Arsene immediately approached. Approaching then handed me a plate containing a birthday cake that had been cut. "Eat."Shawn just looked at the proffered pla
"Chelsea Imanuella Harald. What a beautiful name. As beautiful as her Mama. As beautiful as her Auntie too. And would be the prettiest in the Harald or Smith family."While continuing to joke, Sophia seemed very happy to help Aurora take care of this beautiful baby girl who was only one week old. Since there was no one at Mario's house, Aurora decided to temporarily stay back at the Quartararo family's house at least until the baby was one month old.Everyone also knows, Mario has to keep working. There was no way he could stay at home to keep Aurora company. For this reason too, he finally agreed to his wife's request to return temporarily to the old house."I've already bathed your baby, Aurora. She's even beautiful in her casual clothes. Now, you can breastfeed this baby first," Sophia said, handing over the baby she was carrying to her mother."Thank you very much, Sophia," Aurora said with a smile. "I don't know what it would be like if I still forced myself to live in our house.
This afternoon, Sophia specifically asked her mother to accompany her to the detention center because she wanted to meet her father. In fact, two days ago he had gone there.Not without reason today Sophia decided to visit again. Because the day of her future baby's birth was so close, she wanted to ask her father's blessing and at the same time tell her that in the future she might not be able to visit just to visit."Why did you come again? You should have had a lot of rest at home, Sophia. Isn't your due date very close?"Alfonso himself was amazed because this afternoon he was visited by his wife and daughter again. Usually, Mikayla visits every three or five days. But this week, the two most precious women in his life had visited him three times.To be honest, Alfonso was very happy to have this kind of constant visit. However, knowing the condition of her daughter, who is about to give birth soon, she is certainly worried about Sophia's health and her future grandchildren."It's
Of the many countries that Tristan has offered, Sophia remains in her stance, namely choosing Dubai as the top choice destination that she likes so much. In fact, if you want luxury, the United States also offers the same thing. But somehow, Sophia did not turn away from her choice.Dubai itself is one of the seven emirates in the United Arab Emirates, it is no doubt a major tourist destination not only in Asia but also in the world. Who would have thought, Dubai was once a desert area that was so barren.Now? This city has grown rapidly and become one of the richest cities in the world. Its beauty and splendor is unquestionable. There are many luxury facilities offered by this city.This desert city is known for its liberal policies, excellent infrastructure, and excellent tourism facilities. Apart from that, Dubai is also blessed with a very strategic location geographically.Tristan as a businessman sees Dubai as a developing city that has great potential to develop various forms o
Tristan remembered correctly, one day he asked his wife. Out of all the places in the world, which one do you want to visit the most? Previously he offered Paris, Zurich, Milan, or Turkey.With full confidence, Sophia said Dubai was a place she really wanted to visit. According to Sophia, Dubai is a magical city where for the first time she could feel the sweet and sincere attitude that Tristan showed. He remembers, when he was in Dubai, his days were full of joy. That's why, the beautiful lady was eager to go back there to reminisce about those times.Because this is also Tristan's consideration in giving his wife the gift of traveling to Dubai. The day before the trip, Tristan decided to stop first at the hospital just to see doctor Hansel. According to him, there are important things that he really needs to discuss and consult in depth with the doctor who has been treating his wife so far.Tristan just wanted to make sure whether Sophia could be taken on long trips. Or it could eve
Sophia looked surprised when she opened the toilet door she accidentally ran into Edward. He didn't know whether out there Tristan had also seen Edward or maybe he was just the one who accidentally met a man who used to be so close to him.Staring coldly. Scan from head to toe. Sophia could feel how Edward's eyes seemed interested in looking at her stomach which was now very bulging. Maybe surprised or maybe also wondering. To be sure, after that it was very clear that Edward's direct dislike towards Sophia.Sophia was right. What had happened to them maybe he couldn't just forget about it. He knew Edward must still be furious. Evidently, when Sophia reprimanded, the man was being ignorant. Waiting for Sophia to shift before she chose to step into the main toilet door."Edward," Sophia called boldly before he disappeared from her sight.Meanwhile, Edward had stopped in his tracks. Without turning his head, or rather turning his back on Sophia's position, he just stood stiffly. Waiting
"I don't want to know Alexius. Anyway, you have to bring Shawarma which tastes like I ate when I was in Dubai the other day. Can you bear to see the child in my stomach thrashing because his wish was not fulfilled?"Aleixus let out a long breath. The last two days he had been confused by Sophia's request, which he considered so difficult and unreasonable.Entering the gestational age of more than seven months, Sophia has been asking strange things lately. Yes, let's just say the woman was craving. It's just that, what makes Alexius dizzy himself, sometimes his requests don't make sense. Just like he ordered. The employer's wife has been complaining for two days and asking to buy Shawarma, or Middle Eastern bread, which is filled with meat mixed with vegetables, such as kebabs.I don't know where to start from, the woman whines every day to find the food. Alexius was getting dizzy himself because he had been around London, but couldn't find what his mistress asked for."But it is very
"Sophia, quickly open your bedroom door right now!"Mikayla's faint voice sounded so loud from outside the room. Followed by a knock on the door that got louder and louder instead of disappearing.Sophia who had just woken up immediately straightened up. Tying her hair first, she glanced at the clock on the nightstand even though it was only six in the morning. According to him, it is still too early to wake up. After all, he wasn't working. Then, why did his mother wake him up so early?"Sophia, hurry up, son. You heard Mama's voice, right? There's something important you need to know right away!"Once again Mikayla called. Making Sophia inevitably decide to hurry up. He walked unsteadily to the door, then opened it quickly."What's wrong, Mom? It's still too early. Why are you already screaming out there?"Sophia's face clearly showed a lazy expression. After all, he was still very sleepy because last night his eyes could only close when it was so late because there were so many thi
***Sophia seemed to be sitting casually in front of her dressing table. After changing her clothes, the woman decided to clean the traces of make up that had stuck to her face while muttering to herself because she was annoyed with what Tristan had just done to her."You annoying! Why are you so selfish, Tristan. Yesterday you desperately rejected all my arguments. You rejected my apology. Now? Suddenly came, then apologized casually? Don't be crazy! I won't forgive you that easily. It's my own fault You've pissed me off so much."Sophia knows and is aware that the origin of this problem is that she is determined to carry out a pregnancy program without permission. But no matter what, he already tried to apologize. Not just once, but repeatedly. He even revealed all the evidence that his condition was not what Tristan was worried about. However, it's still useless. The man did not even open the door for forgiveness until he finally decided to go to his parents' house for a while.Sop
