Marry a Stranger 104. Give Up
The next day, Jake woke up early because all night he couldn't close his eyes to really rest like what the old man ordered him to do, his mind was racing but that night when the atmosphere was so calm and made him think with his head clear. Finally, after daydreaming Jake decided to give up, and he chose to just surrender himself to the police. Not without reason, but as the old man had told him if Jake wanted to live comfortably, there were no unwanted things to disturb his peace."You woke up fast! What are you thinking? Are you ready to be a gentleman and admit your mistakes?” asked the old man as he put a few pieces of bread and two cups of warm tea in front of Jake. Very steadily, the man nodded his head towards the foot while processing a truly happy smile.“Already, I feel very happy now. Even I also feel that's what I have to do besides how long do I have to run away, how long do I have to be like this, avoiding everything? Even though I know one day I will definitely be caugh

*A month later*Luna and Sam set foot back in their old house. Luna is grateful that nothing has changed in the house. The difference is only in the few maids that Sam hires to take care of the house because Luna is pregnant. Sam didn't allow Luna to do anything while at home.Sam and Luna sat on a lounger in the small garden beside their house. The flowers they had previously planted were blooming now."Sam, finally Jake's problem is over, now nothing will bother us anymore," Luna said, hugging Sam's body."Yes, it's all over, now we can breathe easy," said Sam, stroking Luna's hair gently."Did Jake get a tough sentence?" Luna asked quietly."I don't know, the lawyers are still trying to get Jake to get relief because he gave himself up, they are currently appealing. Now, let's forget what happened to our family before. Let's close the pages of our dark story, and open a new chapter of life full of happiness. Look at this park, I plan to expand this park so we can relax accompanying
Marry a Stranger 1.Tragedy
Luna could only take a deep breath looking out the car window. She really hates rain, especially on a special day like this. Can't the rain come another time? Should she sing a rain-repellent song to make them really go away?"Come on, don't be so sullen, we can just celebrate your birthday at home, right? There's the best chef in the world with us, so why should you be sad because you can't have dinner at a five-star restaurant?" said Mr. Andreas without turning his head.Luna shook her head slowly, leaned closer to the front seat, and looked at her parents one by one."It's different Dad, it's not just the usual five-star hotel, it's a really special place, and getting a table there is really hard!" Luna protested.Mr. Andreas and Mrs. Lily only chuckled lightly at how upset their only child was because they couldn't celebrate their birthday at their dream place."We can go there tomorrow if the weather permits," said Mrs. Lily then smiled warmly.Luna still wanted to swear because

Luna sat huddled hugging her knees. She looked at the graves of her parents with a sad gaze. Who would have thought that that night would be her last night with them. Honestly, Luna still can't believe what happened. How could they possibly leave her so soon?"Luna, that's all right, you'll get sick later, let's go home okay," Jane—Luna's best friend, tried to persuade the girl to leave the tomb as soon as it was getting dark."Can't I just sleep here?" asked Luna in a weak voice.Jane fell silent. She knew that Luna was so lost. Who wouldn't be so hurt if they had to lose both parents on their birthday?Jane also sat beside Luna, she no longer cared about the condition of the tomb which was getting tense because it was dark. She would only accompany Luna until she felt better."Know what's funny?" asked Luna suddenly."What?" asked Jane confused.She didn't see anything funny in that incident."Before my daddy died, he asked the man who crashed our car to marry me! Instead of giving
Marry a Stranger 3. Sam's Decision
"Are you crazy, Sam?" shrieked Miss Veronica—Sam's Mother.Sam was silent with his arms folded across his chest."How could you want to marry someone you don't know? What if she's far from your type? What if she's a bad girl?!" said Mrs. Veronica.For the umpteenth time today, Sam took a deep breath. His chest felt so tight with guilt. He is not a naïve man, he knows full well that Luna lost her parents because of his carelessness, indirectly, Sam killed Luna's parents."No, Sam, I don't agree with you! We can compensate her handsomely, no need to marry her!" said Mrs. Veronica."What did you just say, Veronica?!" shouted Mr. William—Sam's father."I won't let Sam make the wrong decision! The death of that girl's parents wasn't completely Sam's fault! The roads were slippery because of the heavy rain! Everyone can have an accident in those circumstances. Why did that old man have to force our precious son to marry his daughter? And what kind of girl is she?!" Mrs. Veronica growled."W
Marry a Stranger 4. Agreement
"What?" Eros shouted angrily.For Eros, this man in front of him really didn't know himself, after killing Luna's parents, he wanted to make Luna become his wife?! He's kidding? Eros certainly wouldn't let that man marry his precious Luna."You know what you just said?!" growled Eros.Sam took a deep breath. His eagle eyes then turned to Eros who was staring at him sharply. Whoever Eros is, Sam will not back down to make Luna becomes his wife."I know very well what I just said. Look, I can't ignore Luna's father's last wish! I know I don't deserve to make that happen with all the sins I've committed. However, I don't want to be even more sinful by ignoring his last wish. I will not force Luna to agree to marry me. However... please think carefully," said Sam with all sincerity.Hearing the seriousness in Sam's tone, Luna melted a little. Sam is handsome, looks rich, and is educated. Of course, the decision to marry him was not for other purposes such as wealth and so on. With Sam's h
Marry a Stranger 5. Family Introductions
"So, what are your parent's names?" said Mrs. Veronica as Luna invited Sam and his parents to sit in the living room."Can you hold on? We just sat down!" Mr. William warned.Mrs. Veronica completely ignored her husband's words and continued to stare at Luna with a sharp gaze. She was still waiting for Luna's answer.Seeing Mrs. Veronica's attitude, Luna just smiled. She then left the living room and took a family photo which was still neatly framed on his father's desk. Luna gave a photo of her parents to Mrs. Veronica after she got to the living room."My father's name is Andreas, and my mother's name is Lily. If you are interested in my parents' work, I will be happy to explain." Said Luna confidently.It seems that Sam's mother is quite underestimating her family.Unlike his wife, who normally saw the photo, Mr. William was immediately stunned to see the face of his old friend in the frame."Andreas," Mr. William muttered."You know him?" asked Mrs. Veronica confused."He was the
Marry a Stranger 6. Wedding Day
Jane was still struggling with Luna's hair when Eros came. It was agreed that the two girls would style each other's hair when they married.Carefully Jane styled Luna's hair and placed small flowers on the girl's brown hair."For your information, all the invited guests including the groom-to-be have been waiting for you for a long time!" snapped Eros.To be honest, Eros was still very upset because Luna decided to marry Sam even though Eros and Jane had tried to prevent it.Luna is still very young, she is beautiful and accomplished. It would be a shame if the girl got married this young."Shut up, I'm doing my best to make Luna look hundreds of times prettier!" said Jane no less curtly.Eros sighed in annoyance, he then approached the two girls and sat on a chair that was not far from them."All you've been doing is sticking wildflowers in Luna's hair! Was that what you did best?" sneered Eros."Yes, said someone who does not understand art!" she growled.Luna just smiled faintly.

“I have a very big problem, but I don't know if it's appropriate for me to tell you or not. But I did this because I no longer know who to tell it to." Jake started to tell the old man.“Starting from my worries and where I also love a woman who is the wife of my brother. I really don't know why I have such feelings for her. Even though she was someone's wife in the end I did everything I could to get her back, I immediately became blindsided when I carried out the action with dark eyes I almost killed someone who prevented my actions. However, he instead reported it to the police so that it made my life uneasy now, had to run here and there to seek protection so that they would not be found out," Jake explained to the old man who then nodded listening to his conversation, as he listened to the middle-aged man. sure something must have happened to the young man who was rescued earlier. If not, he certainly would not enter into the edge of a very gripping abyss, like what he said if th
Marry a Stranger 102. The Revelation of Jake's Spy
"What?" shrieked Sam in disbelief."I heard that when he calls someone, he has spies who always know what you are planning in detail, that's why he can always get away easily," said Luna."Do you know who Jake's spy is?" he asked quietly.Luna shook her head weakly. They were now at the dinner table having dinner when Luna suddenly opened up about Jake."I only know Jake's spies are nearby," Luna said quietly.Everyone fell silent, preoccupied with their thoughts."There's only me, Jane, Eros, Marcell, Kei, Mark, and Romeo, ah, a few bodyguards at home," said Sam carefully.For some reason, Jane had been staring at Kei, making Kei feel uncomfortable."You don't think that I'm Jake's spy, do you?" Kei said to Jane."I don't want to assume, but you love Jake, so, it could happen," Jane said carefully.Luna immediately glared at Jane warning Jane not to accuse Kei carelessly."Yeah, I can understand your suspicions, but I can make sure it's not me," said Kei resignedly.Jane smiled sligh

On the other hand, Jake looked so confused, where he saw around him only the forest, the leg took him to a hut that might be said to be unfit for use anymore, and also some that looked collapsed. But the old man prefers to live there and according to Jake, the old man looks so comfortable."Why did you fall into the abyss like before?" asked the old man while dressing Jake's wound with the bandage he had. Then, giving medicine to the man's hand, Jake winced slightly because he felt a pain that was hard for him to describe. Hearing the narrative of that old man, Jake could only be silent. He had no way of explaining exactly what happened, considering that the middle-aged man's thoughts would be strange to him."Earlier I just wanted to pass there, but it just so happened that I was alone and didn't know if it was a cliff, luckily I immediately grabbed the roots on the edge of the cliff," explained Jake to the old man who then laughed softly at that.“Most accidents do happen there, tho

When Romeo and Mark try to find out where Jake is in that remote village, they have to find related information about several residents who live there. Otherwise, how could they possibly find out where Jake was right now?“Unfortunately, that guy is good at finding loopholes to escape!” said Romeo, Mark, and also Eros who was among them."But I don't think it's easy for him to just run away, considering that by meeting Luna, Jake only goes to the small villages in this city!" said Eros, because that's the way it is. If Jake had gone far away, maybe they wouldn't be able to get hold of Luna now. Romeo and Mark kept hearing each other's stories Eros told them."Then, how? What should we do now if we just stay silent and look for that man in this village, it's impossible to meet!” Mark blurted out again which made Romeo get sharp towards him, how could that man still ask? Meanwhile, it is their responsibility to do their job.Even meeting Luna was also not from them. So, now Jake's busin

Sam was still lying beside Luna, watching his sleeping wife closely. Sam smiled with relief, he was sure that one day they would get back together, but unfortunately, they were reunited when Luna was not in good health, it broke Sam's heart.Luna curled up next to Sam, sweat kept popping up on the woman's forehead, slowly Sam wiped Luna's sweat away, but Luna was surprised, immediately got up and widened her eyes at Sam confused."Sorry to wake you up, I just wanted to wipe your sweat," Sam said softly."Sam? You're here, I'm not dreaming?" whispered Luna while touching Sam's face slowly with her fingers."I'm here, Luna. I'm with you," Sam said so slowly.A tear fell from Luna's glazed eyes. The woman cuddled up and hugged Sam tightly. Even if this is a dream, Luna still wants to stay with Sam."Your fever has gone down, thank goodness," Sam said while stroking Luna's hair gently."Sam, I'm sorry," Luna said hoarsely."You've also had a hard time, so, I won't blame you," Sam said qui

At this time, Luna, who was in front of Eros, immediately turned toward the source of the sound. The woman seemed familiar when she heard a voice calling her name. It was Eros, Luna's eyes immediately filled with tears when she found the man right in front of her eyes.“Eros. It's you!" said the woman to Eros who nodded his head quickly, Eros felt very touched when he could meet his best friend again.“Thank goodness you're okay, now we're all worried about you. Even I and Jane, as well as Sam and several other colleagues, took part in finding your whereabouts, Jake is indeed very good at kidnapping.

So that made Eros wipe it quickly.Luna hugs Eros."Don't cry now, now you're safe with me, and I came here to look for you. Incidentally, Kei also has a fever.

"How's your college going? Is it okay if you take time off during this time?" asked Eros confused.Jane shrugged in confusion. Maybe she has to repeat in the same semester, but that doesn't matter to her."Wouldn't I just end up being your wife relaxing at home all the time? Why think about college and all that?" answered Jane's origin. She was teasing Eros."Are you sure you just want to relax at home? You and Luna will be busy thinking about how to open your luxury boutique," Eros said while shaking his head slowly."Wow, how did you know? Wow, Eros! You are a psychic!" Jane cried and clapped her hands.Eros took a deep breath."I don't need to be a psychic to know what you think and want! It's so predictable! You'd think, if you have your luxury boutique, you don't have to go to other places and fight over limited edition items!" cried Eros.Bingo!"Think about it, owning a luxury boutique is my dream, and since I'm with you, I can make it happen! You're too rich not to be taken ad
