"Disrespectful wife! Only causing trouble! Money! Demanding delicious food! Asking, asking, and asking! Useless!"The sound of a slap echoed in the empty living room. There were only two people facing each other with intense emotions. The man pressed the woman against the white wall of the house, while the woman was trapped under the man's large body."If you want to eat well, earn your own money! Work on your own! If you can't, sell yourself to some sleazy man out there! Don't bother me anymore! Don't come and embarrass me in public! What you're doing is not only embarrassing us, but also yourself! Stupid!""You're the stupid one! How dare you cheat out there and forget about your wife at home! How heartless you are to abandon us. To abandon the children who need their father!" the woman protested. She was forceful and angry."You bastard! You only know how to burden me! It would be better if I disappeared from this world! Believe me, the burden of life would decrease significantly if
Tera has changed into neat clothes and comes out of her room, descending the stairs. She carries a small bag containing her phone, wallet, and various trinkets she needs.As she passes through the living room, Tera finds Sebastian and Nora in the middle of the room. The man is trying to persuade Nora to stop crying and begging to go back to Indonesia. Nora, already saddened and scared of Daddy, continues to ignore Sebastian until her attention is drawn by Tera's presence."Tera, where are you going?" Sebastian asks as gently as possible. He knows that Tera is hurt and not doing well because of all the accusations and words exchanged at the hospital."Looking for fresh air," Tera answers.The woman continues walking away from the living room. She really needs some fresh air to erase all the bad dreams that have haunted her.Sebastian gets up from the sofa and blocks Tera's path, "It's already late. It's dangerous outside.""Dangerous for women, and not for men, right?" Tera asks. Her fa
Pack all of Nora's necessities for her stay. Make sure nothing is left behind. Only Nora and a few guards will be going, as Mama has forbidden Tera and me from going home. Understood?" He bowed respectfully, "Understood, sir. I will accompany Nora to sleep tonight."The man walked towards the black car parked in the yard. Several guards used black sedans in the front and back. They always provided for Nora, her guards, and himself according to the protocol set by Lim.The black car drove away from the vast Lim estate, passing through the garden forest, and finally exiting the grand black gate. Sebastian drove towards a place he frequented, an exclusive club owned by Ethan and Raymond.In the lobby of the exclusive club, Sebastian quickly stepped out of the car and handed the car keys to one of the guards. Despite wearing only blue jeans and a plain white t-shirt, Sebastian's presence managed to catch everyone's attention. His handsome face, tight security, and his latest Lamborghini se
Sebastian drove at a high speed through the empty streets of the night. He tightly gripped the steering wheel, his muscular arms clearly visible. His breathing was steady, his chest rising and falling in a rhythmic pattern as he turned into the residential area.He stopped the car for a moment, waiting for the imposing black gate to fully open. Once it did, Sebastian accelerated and came to a stop on the front porch of his house.He slammed the car door, ran up the steps one by one, and entered the house. He intended to confront the woman with the full force of his anger; she deserved to face the consequences of her actions. How could she have the audacity to be in the park with her ex?It had been a simple and romantic date, chatting and eating ice cream together in the park. They had lost track of time, spending hours in lighthearted conversation filled with laughter.Sebastian's driver had reported everything to him, even sending various pictures of Tera laughing happily. Laughter
Once again, it was a bad dream. A dream that had haunted Tera's life ever since she got married to her husband. It was a dream about the happiness of her childhood gradually turning into destruction and leaving behind buried trauma in her subconscious. The dream made Tera avoid serious relationships with men who had come into her life.Tera was a woman who was indifferent to every man who approached her, even completely ignoring the men who dared to confess their love to her during her school days. She would focus on her work and education. Tera had a younger sibling who depended on her, so she ignored all matters of romance and unnecessary details. Occasionally, Tera would try to open the gate to her heart, attempting to normalize her feelings towards men, but there was always reluctance and rejection that emerged from every approach.Only Brandon Dexter was able to make Tera say "Yes" and want to try opening her heart to a man. After all, age doesn't lie; she lived a lonely life abr
Tera searched in the depths of Sebastian's black eyes. The alpha male charm was overwhelming. He offered something that was truly unexpected to Tera. A proposition that went beyond everyone's expectations.Sebastian was not the type of man who would share his woman. Even the thought of his woman meeting another man was enough to make him incredibly furious. Especially if he found out that she was looking for "refreshment" elsewhere. It was certain that Sebastian would go mad and become incredibly furious. But strangely, tonight he seemed to be sleepwalking in a dream, humbling himself this far just by seeing Tera's traumatizing allure that disrupted his dream.Why did Sebastian have to choose this extreme path? What made him willing to give in and set aside his ego just for Tera's sake? Why did Sebastian feel the need to take Tera to a psychiatrist? Why did he have to go through the trouble of healing Tera's trauma?All these questions filled Tera's mind, making her very curious about
Lip biting never subsided, even when both of them reached the peak of pleasure. The man let out a loud snort, relishing every inch of Tera's open mouth. Enjoying every wet and hot touch that accompanied their wild and rough adventure.An adventure that was wild and barbaric!Though they did it indirectly, Sebastian and Tera were both gasping heavily after reaching satisfaction that made them convulse on the sofa. It was an incredibly hot experience, no less intense than his previous encounters with women out there. If this indirect experience was already this amazing, how would it be when done directly? Sebastian would definitely be floating in a beautiful paradise.That love-making would surely be the greatest experience Sebastian had ever had.Their slippery kiss finally broke, and their faces were left wet with sweat and the remnants of their passionate kisses. Sebastian took in as much breath as he could, and Tera followed whatever Sebastian did. Both of their eyes were tightly cl
"Mnhh! It feels so good..."The heavy voice woke Tera up from her deep sleep. She didn't expect that the first thing she would see when she opened her eyes was Sebastian's face, kissing her armpit. The man was on top of her, pinning her down as he kissed and occasionally licked the area.Tera was shocked by the disgusting sight, and she tried to move away, but her body wouldn't budge. Sebastian's weight kept her in place, and his hands held her wrists above her head, preventing her from moving while her armpit remained exposed."Boss!" Tera exclaimed, squirming as Sebastian moved from one armpit to the other. The more he enjoyed the scent, the more Tera's stomach churned. Thousands of butterflies fluttered inside her.Tera, who was initially uninterested, suddenly became filled with desire as Sebastian continued. It was strange. Kissing armpits was disgusting, especially since she had been sweating in her sleep and woke up in the morning with an unrefreshing body odor. But seeing how
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
On the first day as Nora's caregiver, Tera Vic took on the responsibility, leaving all meetings and tasks to fulfill the duty assigned by Da Lao Ban - taking care of a tantrum-throwing toddler longing for her father.Tera invited Nora and Sofia to play together in Sebastian Lim's private room within the main office. 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. Ethan chuckled, pointing out their happiness at Tera and Sebast
"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
which is cool in the middle of thriving vineyards. A woman steps between the cabernet sauvignon on the left and right. Cabernet sauvignon is one of the most famous types of grapes and is widely used as the main raw material for making quality wine. The fruit grows abundantly, clustered and hanging ready to be picked. Tera enjoyed the view and the very cool morning air with a big smile on her lips. A smile which then received a reply from several plantation employees who were cleaning the grass which was getting taller. As obstetricians often recommend, Tera tries to have a healthier and stronger pregnancy. This morning she decided to take a morning walk as a form of light exercise that could strengthen her womb. Even though she was lazy and still sleepy, Tera fought it well. She must be able to do light exercise for the good of the child in her womb. Tera took in as much oxygen as possible and then exhaled slowly. A fresh morning intake will improve his mood. Last night Te
"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 embraced her and held her for a while, the young woman's body had become frail and fragile during the time they had been apart.Tera let her tears flow, fully venting her emotions.
Tera was restless, thinking about her unborn child, but she couldn't stop Sebastian Lim from being passionate behind her. He tried different positions to find comfort in their lovemaking, settling into the one that worked best for him. Tera moaned with pleasure, kissing as if there was no tomorrow, and Sebastian's hands firmly gripped her ample breasts."Give it to me, darling!" Sebastian exclaimed, raw and vulnerable.He released their kiss and focused on reaching his desired climax. His movements became more aggressive, rough, and Tera lost control.Amid the relentless pounding, Tera convulsed and her entire body tensed and trembled. She let out incoherent sounds of ecstasy as she reached her peak. Sebastian followed seconds later. He shuddered and thrust harder, his mouth letting out rough profanities as his body contracted and convulsed.It was an intense union filled with pent-up desire. They surrendered to each other, consumed by a longing that couldn't be contained. Tera and Se
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
What happened felt like a dream that had never come true. If only Tera hadn't woken up without clothes and only covered in a thick blanket, maybe she would have thought it was a dream in the midst of her loneliness.Tera squirmed and stretched her extremely tired muscles. It was a quick, intense lovemaking that had left her feeling completely fulfilled. She longed for all those touches. She missed Sebastian greatly. This morning, he was the only thing on her mind. She couldn't get Sebastian out of her thoughts, and all the images from last night consumed her.Thomas Vic was puzzled by his daughter's behavior. He glanced at Tera several times and became suspicious when he saw her smile grow wider and more mysterious."Uh-huh...," Thomas cleared his throat, breaking Tera's reverie at the breakfast table, "It seems like someone is in a good mood this morning.""A beautiful morning should start with happiness. So, smile, Dad.""What happened last night? Did Arnold confess his feelings to
