Tristan opened his eyes with a heavy head. Slowly but surely, trying once to straighten up, then leaned against the headboard of the mattress. When he managed to sit up, his gaze slowly dropped. Removing the blanket attached to his body, Tristan was surprised for a moment. He was confused when he found his upper body was in a plain state without wearing a shirt. At that moment, Tristan immediately massaged his temples which were throbbing in pain as he closed his eyes. Trying to remember what he did last night to not wear clothes like now. "I just want to die, Nick. What's the point of living if there's no point in this." "Sophia is adamant that she doesn't want to get back together with me." "If your plan fails, then what?" "I congratulate you, because you have succeeded in being a widower. Please try to find another woman to be a wife." "Bastard!" "Tristan, why do you have to be drunk like this? Actually, what is Sophia's strength so that in your eyes there is only her, huh?
Since the drunken incident that happened to him a few days ago, for some reason, Tristan was a little sure that Aurora was deliberately avoiding him. If usually, after attending a meeting, they always do a joint evaluation. The woman just left yesterday. Even just greeting Tristan in moderation, as if he was very reluctant to linger together. What made Tristan even more strange was that Aurora wasn't interested in telling him what he had done wrong. This is not Aurora's character as she knows it. To ascertain what happened, he had to ask Samanta and Raphael if there were any strange or fatal events he might have missed. "As far as I know, that night after Mr. Nicholas came to take you home, as usual Mrs Aurora helped change your clothes, Sir," said Samanta. "Are you sure nothing strange happened to me back then?" Samanta immediately shook her head. "Nothing, Sir. As far as I know, a few moments after the Madame entered your room, Mr. Raphael also followed. I don't know what they
"Mr Tristan, are you sure about your decision to leave for Paris in the near future?" Mario, who was in Tristan's room then, looked very grumpy. Not without a real reason. This all happened after he heard the news that his boss would be going abroad for an indefinite period of return. It feels so empty to work without assistance as usual. If you think about it, it's a man's right when he decides where to go. However, what troubled Mario's heart was that Tristan didn't say when he would return to London. "Yes, Mario. My decision is unanimous and cannot be contested," the man replied as he continued to finish the pile of work on his desk. Deliberately speeding so that the existing deadline can be completed before he leaves. "But how long will you be there? How about Foxtail if you leave? Smart City tender? Or a One-stop Shopping tender? Are you going to leave all that behind?" the man complained. Tristan ended his activities for a moment. Lifting his face, the man gave a faint smil
Sophia seemed to be looking here and there for Tristan's whereabouts while in the courtroom. Today, according to schedule, is the third trial which contains the reading of the lawsuit and the opportunity to appeal if the defendant does not accept the lawsuit. However, until the time of the trial, he did not find the slightest figure of Tristan. There was only his lawyer there who seemed to represent him. There was a question in my heart, whether the man was deliberately absent because he had given up on all the existing processes. "How about Mrs Sophia? Are there any other lawsuits you would like to present or add?" asked the Judge after reading through all the charges Sophia had previously made? "Nothing," Sophia replied, shaking her head. "Okay. Then it's just a matter of reading the compensation given by the defendant to the plaintiff. For this matter, we can hear it directly from the appointed lawyer," said the Judge. Then let Tristan's lawyer read out what his client had orde
Tristan just finished all his work. It was his last day at Foxtail before leaving for Paris for quite a while. Rising from his seat, Tristan chose to leave the room. Stepping leisurely, he brought his feet to the place where Aurora was. "Are you done?" Tristan asked after opening the door to Aurora's workspace. "Yes. All my work is done for today. What's wrong?" "So come with me to choose a dress?" Aurora nodded. Grabbing her sling bag in the closet, the woman got up and walked over to Tristan. "Of course I have to come. I want to choose for myself what dress I should wear for the sacred event later." Tristan smiled. He took his hand and rubbed the top of Aurora's head affectionately. "Choose the best dress you like." Aurora then clasped Tristan's hand. Pull the man immediately to go to the car. As soon as he entered, her expression suddenly changed to disgust because she found Mario already sitting in the seat next to the driver. "What did you take Mario for?" Aurora asked T
Mario immediately broke the hot kiss between himself and Aurora. He was so surprised when he suddenly heard a knock on the door from outside the toilet. The two of them looked at each other. Of course, they are confused about what to do because their current position is awry. "You're looking for death, Mario! If Tristan sees the two of us like this, I'm sure he'll kill you." Aurora spoke in a whisper. He was certainly no less confused about how to escape from the toilet without raising many questions from people. "Calm down, Aurora. Let me think. I'm sure it wasn't Mr. Tristan knocking on his door," Mario replied. His face looked panicked. While continuing to think, the man then raised his hand. Intends to help tidy up the blazer and Aurora's hair which looks dishevelled. "Don't hold it!" said Aurora. "Who allowed you to touch me." "Don't make noise, Aurora," Mario whispered again. Then soon, the sound of knocking was heard again, this time even more and louder. "How is this Ma
As planned last night, today Mikayla and Sophia intend to visit Alfonso, who is still in prison. Before leaving, the two beautiful women seemed busy in the kitchen. Prepare the ingredients, then process them into a favourite menu for Alfonso to take and eat when they go to prison later. "Mom, isn't this too much for us to carry?" Sophia once again confirmed. In total, there are indeed four kinds of menus that his mother prepared for his father. According to Sophia, there's no way this will all run out on her own. At the very least, it should be eaten together with others. "No, Sophia. I think this is fine. One box can be eaten by your Papa tonight. We will eat the other one together. Think of it as a special lunch like what we usually do." Sophia smiled sadly. Take a step forward, then suddenly hug Mikayla's body. Feels proud because, until this moment, his mother is still faithful to accompanying and even praying for his father. Even though she was disappointed by the evil action
"Pa, Ma, let me go first. Don't be sad if I won't be here for a long time. But, no matter what, my prayers will never be broken for you two." Before actually leaving for the airport, Tristan chose to invite Aurora to visit his parents' graves first. Deliberately want to say goodbye, all ask for prayers for what he will do after this. "Uncle Andrew and Aunty Gracia don't need to worry. I will help take good care of Tristan. Just trust me," said Aurora, sitting right next to Tristan. "Let's go first," continued Tristan. "I'm sure I'll miss you both." After the sentence was thrown out, Tristan rubbed the two grey tombstones. Satisfied, then got up, ready to leave. The two of them got into the car and headed for the airport. When they arrived, they were immediately greeted by Mario, who had been on standby from the start waiting for his boss to arrive. "Good morning, Mr Tristan." "Morning, Mario. Have you taken care of all of my and Aurora's departure documents?" The man wearing a n
"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
