Time seemed to slip away. She slept deeply throughout the long Singapore-London journey that took hours. The last thing she remembered was the two hundred million won debt that suddenly burdened her shoulders.

Imagine!

14000 usd just for the cost of the plane, airport accommodation, and Wyne Kendall Hotel, all charged to her because of Tera's foolishness in inviting Wyne Kendall without Sebastian's consent.

Tera massaged her throbbing temple every time she remembered that debt. She blinked a few times, trying to adjust her eyes to the bright light of the bedside lamp in front of her. The lamp emitted a dazzling glow in the dimly lit room. Apparently, the lights in the room were turned off, causing Tera to sleep comfortably and lose track of time.

The woman tried to stretch to loosen her stiff muscles, but her movements were hindered by the grip of hands that encircled her stomach.

She turned around and found Sebastian sleeping, embracing her from behind. Not only did he wrap his arms

    Impatiently, Sebastian forcefully pulled Tera out of his daughter's embrace. He continued his whispered actions with a kiss that made them both lose their minds. Sebastian laid Tera down on the bed, towering over her voluptuous body that was barely covered by a bathrobe, showing off a tempting sight.The bed sank further as Sebastian pressed down harder. Tera squirmed, trying to push Sebastian away from her body, but he forcefully maintained their position, enjoying Tera's breathless moans. His hands roamed freely, playing with Tera as he pleased."Who would have thought that Bakso Carts could be so arousing!" Sebastian taunted with a smirk on his face.The taunt angered Tera, and she pushed Sebastian away with all her strength. Tera turned her face when Sebastian tried to take control of her lips once again, causing him to unintentionally bump his face against her cheek. Sebastian snorted like a hunting dog and playfully bit Tera's jaw.Tera groaned in frustration as Sebastian's hand

    While Nora slept soundly, Tera stealthily released herself from Sebastian's grip on her hips. The woman got up from the bed and quickly straightened her messy bathrobe."Where are you going?" Sebastian asked, restraining himself from getting up and reaching for Tera. Nora held him tightly, and he didn't want to move and wake the child."Getting some fresh air!" Tera replied, walking out of the room and ignoring the disappointment that escaped from Sebastian's lips.Tera closed the door carefully, then made her way to where Wyne Kendall was. The woman who lived in the world of wealthy men looked bored, her eyes droopy, her face red, and her lipstick smudged. Wyne didn't look like her usual self, she was a mess and seemed to be daydreaming about something.Tera narrowed her eyes suspiciously, recognizing the signs of Wyne Kendall being tipsy from alcohol. And sure enough, as she got closer, Tera noticed the table full of an empty champagne bottle, a package of accompanying food that con

    Tera's chest felt tight as she squirmed in Sebastian's tight embrace. Just like before, Tera was held from behind in a very close position. Sebastian didn't let go of Tera throughout his deep sleep and made her his favorite pillow.Sebastian truly invited her to sleep, yes, to sleep in the true sense. Not intending anything like before. The man slept peacefully, causing Tera to conclude that Sebastian was extremely exhausted from all his work activities.The usually teasing man snored softly, occasionally nuzzling Tera's neck, but then went silent and peaceful again.Tera never expected that her relationship with him could change this much. Not long ago, Tera still saw Sebastian as a scary, authoritative, and intimidating boss. But somehow Sebastian became so open, especially after the marriage proposal was presented to her. Sebastian sometimes acted softer and more humane in front of Tera, like he was now, as powerful as he was in his field of work, Sebastian was still an ordinary hu

    Four black sedans stopped in the lobby of an international hotel in the center of London, United Kingdom. Several well-built men dressed in formal suits stepped out of the three sedans, they were bodyguards accompanying the tightly closed sedans.One of the bodyguards stood next to the sedan door and opened it for the Great Master who was about to get out. Some people were astonished by the appearance of a man with dark black eyes, a high nose, thick eyebrows, a thin mustache, and a strong jawline on a very attractive face. The mixture of Batak and Chinese blood gave him a beautiful combination of races, making both men and women turn their heads twice to confirm what they saw.The handsome man who was suspected to be a big boss then circled the car, then opened the door for a chubby woman who struggled to get out because of her heavy body. It was not only her weight that caused difficulty, but also the presence of a sleeping child in her arms, which was one of the reasons why the ch

    Tera never forgot every sweet curve of his face, but she was not used to seeing the many wrinkles now adorning his skin. The man had aged, just like any other human. His hair turned gray, his skin wrinkled, and his body began to stoop.Decades had passed without meeting, only to end up with a forced meeting like this. A meeting that Tera never truly wanted.In this forced situation, Tera had to face the reality that she had ignored for so long, the curiosity she suppressed, and all the longing that had turned to ashes.Not once did her lips utter the word "father" since he left her, not once did Tera bother to contact him.They threw away years without a meaningful meeting, without loving touches, and without the attention a girl needed from her father.It was truly sad to recount the past. Bitter and suffocating, which made Tera strongly oppose Sebastian's arranged meeting.Sebastian, the bastard, didn't care about Tera's rejection at all. He dragged Tera to an exclusive restaurant l

    Sebastian ran quickly to catch up with Tera, who was already quite far from him. The man knew he had made a fatal mistake by planning a surprise meeting that shouldn't have happened.Apparently, Vic's father and daughter didn't have a good relationship that would make them meet with joy. There were no warm hugs, no intimate conversations that made them look like a happy family.It was only now that Sebastian realized why Tera never really talked about her family. She always changed the subject whenever Sebastian or Mrs. Herlinda asked about the Vic family. Most of the time, Tera only talked about her late mother, her younger brother who was still in school in their hometown, and her story of receiving a scholarship to a reputable university in Singapore. Every time Mrs. Herlinda asked about her father, Tera quickly changed the topic. However, Mrs. Herlinda, who had planned to propose to Tera as a stepmother to Nora, had done thorough research on the girl's background.Tera Vic was the

    Of course, Tera quickly pulled her hand away from Sebastian's apple. The woman frowned as she felt how hard and big the man was down there."Just because of a hug, you react like this?""Yes, it's because of the hug and the pleasant scent of your body that I'm this hard. I've been thinking about how pleasurable it would be to play with a melon and also to tease you in this nighttime pub. It must be very exciting!" Sebastian's free hand crept upward and cupped the fruit that had been catching his diligent gaze. "For the first time, I'm attracted to an overweight woman like you. A chubby woman who I usually wouldn't even glance at, but this time my Cavendish is very interested."Tera pushed his hand away with annoyance. "So, that's the reason why you forced me to marry you? Not only to take care of Nora, but also to take care of your Cavendish?""Kill two birds with one stone, who would refuse?""No wonder the Trust Group is becoming bigger, with your boundless exploitation. Even in thi

    Tera could divert her gaze from Sebastian's dark and gloomy heart. The gaze that invited her to drown in the deep enchantment of a thousand charms. From that gaze, Tera wondered, what truly made him desire her body?Tera still remembered Sebastian's lineup of dates, and if she had to make a list, she could easily do it in a few minutes. Tera was the one who arranged every date for Sebastian, starting from romantic dinners, fun trips, and various other types of dates. But why did Sebastian now want his own assistant?A woman with obesity, whose body shape was far different from his former dates. To compare them would be unworthy, let alone to place them side by side.Look at Wyne Kendall, with her fair complexion, tall and slender figure, well-preserved assets, and even Wyne Kendall's beauty could rival that of a Miss Universe who won a global beauty pageant.Wyne could never be compared to someone like Tera, who was just "average". Her body was chubby, with flabby fat here and there,

    Three Months After Tera Spent Time with Nora!Sebastian Lim sat restlessly beside Tera—precisely inside the aircraft cabin soaring above the European land. They were en route to Switzerland for a year-end holiday after completing business in London. A brief vacation amid the CEO responsibilities at Trust Group was a privilege Sebastian cherished. When else would he have the time and opportunity to introduce Nora to the outside world, especially to snowy Europe? Nora would undoubtedly love the winter season, as the little girl often watched it in her favorite shows."Sir, is it true that Mrs. Herlinda will join us in Switzerland?" Tera asked, trying to ignore her boss's uneasiness."Yes, but not for a few more days. Mam is busy handling business in Indonesia.""In that case, may I leave earlier from this holiday?""What do you mean?""This is the year-end vacation I've been looking forward to all year. I promised to spend it with my sister in our hometown. So, I intend to ask for permi

The room was filled with various toys, dolls, a fridge with play food, a hot water dispenser for making milk, a bottle sterilization machine, and other necessities.Originally Sebastian's resting place, the room transformed into a temporary bedroom for his child during office visits. Tera had heard that occasionally Da Lao Ban brought his toddler to the office, spending the entire day in the room due to Sebastian's unending business engagements.Sebastian Lim, known as a single man with a child, appeared worn-out and tired that day. Some new employees, like Tera, initially speculated about Sebastian being a single father due to a pregnancy outside of marriage, but Tera's s

    Tera bid farewell to some guests in the Lim family mansion's flower garden. It was Mrs. Herlinda's birthday, and Sebastian organised an exclusive surprise party for his mother. Tired of repetitive pregnancy questions at the main event, Tera sought solace in the quiet right wing of the mansion near an artificial lake and lush trees, enjoying a cup of sweet tea.Unexpectedly, she found Raymond and Ethan there, sipping coffee and laughing. Seeing three cups, she guessed one was Sebastian's."What are you doing here, dear?" Sebastian appeared, embracing Tera."You startled me!" Tera exclaimed as she turned around."Look, we have a Tera here!" Ethan grinned.Sebastian explained their presence, and Tera playfully accused him. The trio enjoyed coffee while Tera and Sebastian shared a moment on a sofa.Raymond remarked on the surprising turn of events, referencing Sebastian's past visit to a club in a state of sexual frustration.

    "For someone who's not fighting for anything, you also don't have the right to question me!" Sebastian replied."Are we going to continue like this? Arguing and fighting! Are you tired? I am exhausted. It's sickening to keep arguing with you!""If you're feeling sick, then I'm nauseated! I'm sick of your attitude!" Sebastian growled."Seb, what's wrong with you? Are you the same Sebastian I met yesterday, or are you a disguised ghost?""Cut the crap, Tera! Answer honestly, who's in your womb!" Sebastian didn't accept any nonsense and attacked her with a loud voice.Tera was stunned. She didn't expect Sebastian to respond so harshly."Seb..." Tera whispered."Don't cry! I don't want to see tears today! No more melodrama or nonsense! I just want an honest answer. Whose child is it, Tera? Is the child mine?"A teardrop rolled down the corner of Tera's eye. Her eyes widened perfectly due to the pressure and Sebastian's anger. She didn't expect the calm morning to turn into chaos."I don't

    "this is it?" Sebastian murmured. His voice was weak. He lowered his head, avoiding Tera's gaze. She nodded softly, "Yes, this is it." She replied softly."Goodbye, Tera." Sebastian said without looking at the woman."Seb," Tera replied in kind.He turned away, his shoulders slumped, and his body language defeated.Tera stood there, motionless in front of her cabin. In the hallway, without looking back, she leaned against the wall for support. Her face was wet from the flowing tears. For some reason, the tears never failed to accompany her in moments like these.Even though this separation wasn't their first, the pain still felt just as strong."You're home already?" Thomas exclaimed as he appeared from the opposite hallway.The middle-aged man hurried to Tera, who was standing there crying by the wall.

He tried different positions to find comfort in their lovemaking, settling into the one that worked best for him.

    Was last night's affair so terrible that it made Sebastian turn so cold, indifferent, and arrogant towards me? Question after question swirled in Tera's mind. The Sebastian Lim she met at the party last night was entirely different from the Sebastian Lim who had barged into her room and the one she encountered this morning. The Sebastian Lim at the party had been vulnerable, openly sharing his feelings and even expressing concerns about infertility and the condition of his heart. But when he forced her last night, he reverted to the Sebastian Lim Tera had known. And now, this morning?Yes, indeed. This morning, Sebastian became even colder and more indifferent. Any trace of the gentleness and warmth that Tera had glimpsed had vanished without a trace. Sebastian looked at Tera with disinterest, and his glances seemed filled with aversion.Tera regretted her curiosity and following Sebastian, finding herself trapped in the elevator. Knowing the consequences, she should have stuck with h
