My Mysterious Husband 17: Milkshake and Missing Pieces
Fabian sat outside his café, sipping a milkshake like it was fine wine, confusion painted all over his very handsome, very baffled face.“Where is everyone?!” he muttered dramatically to himself, scanning the empty shop like it personally betrayed him. “We used to sell drinks faster than you could say double caramel choco-mocha blast with almond foam.”He squinted through the glass at his staff inside. “Is it them?” he whispered like he was in an episode of CSI: Coffee Shop Edition. “Are they... too old? Has my café turned into a retirement home with espresso shots?”Just then, a group of ladies stood across the street, staring at the café like it was cursed or about to explode. They looked like they wanted a drink—but also like the drinks might punch them in the throat.Fabian, ever the charming café prince, stood up, milkshake in hand, and walked over with a smile that could sell Wi-Fi to a caveperson.“Hi, ladies,” he said sweetly, waving like a shampoo commercial. “I see you eyein

Fabian paced across the polished wooden floor of the café, the faint hum of the espresso machine now a hollow echo in the background of a place that used to buzz with life. His voice trembled with a mix of anger and desperation as he turned to face Lucien."Do you have any idea how Sophie has jeopardized everything we worked for?" Fabian exclaimed, his voice laced with frustration and disappointment. "We've lost thousands of loyal customers—all because of her feelings for you. Our business is crumbling, and we’re no longer making the millions we used to every month. What are we supposed to do now to turn this around?"Lucien remained composed. He leaned back in his chair, crossing one leg over the other with a calm, almost detached air. "Don't worry too much, Fabian," he replied evenly. "Our customers will come back in time."Fabian frowned, his voice growing more desperate. "But how long are we supposed to wait? You know I can't just sit back and hope for the best. This café isn’t ju

Aria noticed her husband lost in thought, his gaze distant as if something weighed on his mind. She quietly sat beside him on the couch and asked, “You’ve seemed distracted these past few days—what’s on your mind?” Though she knew little about his personal life beyond his kindness toward her, curiosity got the better of her. Even if she felt uneasy prying, she couldn’t help but ask.“Our café has been losing customers,” he admitted. “My business partner and I are really worried.” Aria was surprised he opened up to her, and the vulnerability in his voice stirred something in her. She wanted to understand him better—and more than that, she wanted to help.“Maybe I can help,” Aria said softly, her voice careful but sincere.Lucien turned his head slowly, his expression unreadable at first. His eyes searched hers, as if trying to gauge whether she truly meant it. He hadn’t expected that—her offer, or the steady calm in her voice. “You really think you can?” he asked, his voice low, almost

Aria watched the crowd pour into the café, smiles blooming as customers lined up for coffee, milkshakes, and fresh juices. Her heart swelled with joy at the sight, while Lucien's eyes were fixed only on her."You’re really something," he murmured, unaware he'd spoken aloud.Aria turned to him, giggling. "What did you say?""I said you're beautiful," he replied softly."You don’t need to state the obvious," she teased, winking at him with a light laugh.Lucien moved beside her, slipping an arm around her waist and pulling her close, causing a soft blush to rise in her cheeks. "There are a lot of people here," she whispered."I don’t care about them. I only care about you," he said, pressing a tender kiss to her forehead."I never knew you could be this sweet," she said quietly, her eyes fluttering open to see a smile tug at his lips.Lucien’s smile deepened as he brushed a strand of hair from her face. “There’s a lot you don’t know about me,” he said playfully.Aria raised an eyebrow,

All the cameras snapped furiously as they zeroed in on Aria’s face. She stepped out of the operating room, still wearing her usual white lab coat, her fingers gently pulling the mask from her face while she removed her gloves. The weight of the surgery was evident in her tired eyes, though she stood tall, her composure unshaken. It was clear to everyone that she’d just fought a tough battle within those sterile walls."Why did you choose to be a doctor instead of running the family business?" a daring paparazzo asked, his voice cutting through the tension.“To save lives,” Aria replied, her voice calm yet steady. She glanced around, realizing that the man she had just worked on must be someone important—hence the crowd of reporters. The thought made her wonder how deep their curiosity truly ran."Do you know there are many women who believe they deserve to be with Fabian Del Mundo?" another reporter asked, a sly glint in his eyes. Aria smiled, a soft chuckle escaping her lips."Yeah, f

“I sincerely doubt she’ll respond—or even acknowledge the call,” Aria remarked, her voice carrying a quiet resignation. “For all we know, that number may no longer even be hers.”Fabian’s gaze remained fixed, unblinking. “It’s inconsequential,” he replied in a hushed breath, barely audible over the ambient sounds around them. “What matters is that I make the effort… even if it leads nowhere.”With a hand that trembled ever so slightly, as though caught between hesitation and hope, he dialed the number—each digit a memory, each beep a step toward a past that refused to fade. His heart thundered within him, not merely with anticipation, but with the weight of years spent wondering, regretting, and remembering.As the call connected, the chaotic murmur of the hospital faded into a distant, meaningless blur. Time seemed to contract around him, the edges of his awareness sharpening solely on the device pressed against his ear.Then—sound. A dial tone. Once. Twice.And then...“Hello?”The

Fabian’s face crumpled with sorrow, tears carving silent paths down his cheeks. His eyes were hollow, lost. “What happened?” Aria asked, her voice barely above a whisper. Lucien’s voice was heavy with sadness. “What did she say to you?” Fabian shook his head, a tremor in his breath. “She told me… to stop waiting for her.” The words struck like a dagger. In that instant, Fabian’s world came crashing down. His heart splintered, the pain surging through him like a wave too strong to withstand. His knees buckled beneath the weight of it all, and yet he forced himself to walk away. Each step was a battle, every movement a struggle against the gravity of heartbreak. He staggered toward his car, the air thick with silence, trying not to fall apart before the door closed behind him.“Why…?” he whispered, barely able to hear his own voice over the sound of his heartbeat pounding in his ears. His hands trembled on the steering wheel, knuckles white, as tears streamed relentlessly down h
Terakhir Diperbarui : 2025-04-27My Mysterious Husband 24: Lucien's Disappearance
It had been two days since Lucien hadn’t come home. Aria was growing increasingly worried—there was still no word from him, and she had no clue where he might have gone.“Dr. Aria, is everything alright? If you need to take a break, just let us know. You know we can’t afford to have anyone else sick around here besides the patients,” the head nurse, Liezel, joked lightly.“I’m fine, Liz,” Aria replied casually.“Coffee, maybe? It might help clear your head,” Liezel offered, concerned.“No, thanks,” Aria declined, then headed into her office. She tried to keep herself occupied with paperwork, reviewing patients’ lab results, but her mind kept drifting back to Lucien. Leaning back in her swivel chair, she let out a deep sigh.“What’s going on with you, doctor?” Harold suddenly appeared at the door, stepping inside. “I heard you were a little down today, so I brought cupcakes,” he said, holding up a box of small, cute treats.“Is this from a new admirer?” she teased with a chuckle, sitti

My Mysterious Husband 35: Love turns the knife
Lucien’s team had failed to uncover who was behind the attempt to harm his wife, but deep down, he was convinced it was Sophie. He firmly believed she was responsible."Once I find solid evidence against you, you'll answer to the authorities," he vowed, gripping the steering wheel tightly as he drove toward his wife.He hit the brakes after spotting her at a nearby bus stop, standing alone. Without hesitation, he jumped out of the car and rushed to her, wrapping her in his arms.“I’ve been so worried about you and our baby,” he murmured, his eyes drifting to her belly as he gently placed a hand on it. “Don’t worry, sweetheart. Daddy’s doing everything he can to keep both of you safe.”Aria smiled warmly at her husband’s tender gesture.As Lucien held Aria close, the warmth of her presence grounded him—if only for a moment. Her smile was a balm to his frayed nerves, but behind it, he saw the trace of fear she tried so hard to hide.“I hate that you were out here alone,” he whispered, b
My Mysterious Husband 34: Sophie's Deadly Pursuit
Weeks had passed since Aria’s last encounter with Sophie, and ever since, her life had become a waking nightmare. Accidents that felt too deliberate. Faces in crowds that vanished when she turned. Doors left open that she was certain she had locked. Each day, the tension twisted tighter around her chest.She wasn’t imagining it.She knew Sophie was behind it all.One gray afternoon, the city pressed in around her, humming with its usual indifference. Aria walked briskly down a narrow street, trying to silence the gnawing feeling crawling up her spine. Then—Crash!Glass exploded beside her with a piercing shriek. A vase—large, heavy—had plummeted from the second-story window above. Shards scattered across the pavement. One fragment sliced her sleeve.Aria froze, breath caught in her throat, heart hammering.“Are you okay?!” a stranger shouted from across the street.She didn’t respond. Her eyes slowly lifted to the window above. Curtains swayed in the breeze. No face. But she knew.“S
My Mysterious Husband 33: Whispers in the mirror
Lucien's gaze remained unwavering, locked firmly on the spot where Sophie stood. His eyes did not drift even for a moment, his focus intense and filled with a complex mix of emotions. "She's still there," he murmured softly, more to himself than to anyone else, "but I know she’ll leave soon." There was a tenderness in his voice—a gentle reassurance meant for his wife, Aria. Despite the presence of another woman, his heart was clearly aligned with the one beside him. In this moment, Lucien wasn’t just observing; he was choosing. Choosing to be sweet, to be present, to reaffirm his commitment to Aria by believing that Sophie’s chapter in their lives would soon come to a quiet end.Aria, sitting close to him, glanced toward Sophie as well. Doubt lingered in her expression, mingled with hope. “Are you sure?” she asked, her voice barely above a whisper. It carried the weight of silent prayers—wishes that Sophie would walk away for good and allow Aria the peace she longed for, the chance to
My Mysterious Husband 32: She watches
“What are you doing here?” Aria gasped, her voice barely more than a whisper. The room felt colder all of a sudden, and her heart thudded in her chest as she stared at the figure in the doorway.Sophie.Aria instinctively took a step back, but Sophie moved forward, her expression unreadable. She walked slowly, deliberately, and took a seat beside Aria as if nothing were wrong.“I’m sick, Doc,” Sophie said softly, a faint smile playing on her lips. Her tone was light, almost playful—but it sent a chill down Aria’s spine.Aria’s mouth went dry. She tried to smile back, to keep the situation calm, but her lips wouldn't obey. “Sick?” she echoed cautiously. “Where... where do you feel sick?”Sophie didn’t answer right away. Instead, she leaned in closer, her eyes fixed on Aria’s face. Then, without warning, she raised her hands and placed them firmly on Aria’s neck.“I’m sick of you,” she said, her voice hard now, filled with venom.Aria gasped, instinctively trying to pull away. “No—Sophi
My Mysterious Husband 31: Running from Fear
The sky had long since darkened, casting a shadowy veil over the city streets. Most establishments had already begun shutting their doors for the night, their lights dimming one by one, leaving the sidewalks colder and more deserted with each passing minute. A few stragglers rushed home, their footsteps hurried, eager to escape the growing stillness of the evening. Street lamps flickered to life along the roadside, their artificial glow casting pools of yellow light that offered little comfort. The world outside felt unfamiliar and unsettling, cloaked in uneasy silence broken only by distant traffic and hurried steps.Aria stepped out of the hospital doors with visible caution. Her hand instinctively rested on her belly, protective and tender, as though shielding the life growing within her from the darkness around. Each step she took became faster than the last, her pace no longer leisurely but tense and urgent. A chill settled in her bones—not just from the evening air but from a cr
My Mysterious Husband 30: Where the heart still waits
The morning air was crisp, but it did little to cool the tight knot in Aria’s chest. Her fingers clutched Lucien’s arm as they walked down the sidewalk, the hospital’s entrance looming ahead. She kept glancing behind them, her eyes scanning every passing face, every shifting shadow.“We need to be careful with your stalker, Sophie,” she said, her voice low and tense. “If we’re not… you might end up more hurt than she was last time.”Lucien stopped and turned to face her. Aria’s eyes were wide—haunted, even. He knew that look. She’d worn it since the incident. Since Sophie.Aria wrapped her arms around herself. “I know she’s not here now, but I keep feeling like she’s watching us. Like she’s waiting. I don’t want to see her again, Lucien. I can’t.”He gently cupped her face, forcing her to meet his gaze. “I’ll do everything I can to keep you safe from whatever she’s planning,” he said firmly. “No matter what.”She nodded, though the fear in her eyes didn’t fade. Lucien held her close f
My Mysterious Husband 29: In her Head
Sophie’s mom stood in the doorway, arms folded tight across her chest. She’d been watching her daughter for several minutes now, silently tracking every frantic step Sophie took across the living room carpet. It was like watching a storm build—tense, unpredictable, exhausting to witness.Finally, she couldn’t hold back anymore. “Sweetheart,” she said softly, trying to keep her voice steady, “what’s going on with you? Is something wrong?”Sophie froze mid-step, her hands balled into fists at her sides. “I… I think Lucien’s in pain,” she said, but it came out all jagged, like she’d been holding it in for too long.Her mother blinked. That wasn’t what she was expecting. “In pain? Why would you think that? He looked fine when I last saw him—actually, better than fine.” She patted the couch cushion next to her. “Come here. Let’s sit down and talk this out.”But Sophie just shook her head and backed away, her whole body tight like a stretched rubber band. “No, Mom. He’s not okay.” Her voice
My Mysterious Husband 28: Sweet Conversation
Aria and her husband, Lucien, sat together in a calm, quiet moment on the couch, the soft rustling of the nearby curtains the only sound in the room besides their own breathing. Aria was gently tending to a fresh wound on Lucien's arm, her expression focused and filled with concern. Carefully, she dabbed at the injury with a piece of cotton soaked in antiseptic."Ah—ouch... that really hurts," Lucien winced for the second time, his voice tinged with both pain and frustration.Without pausing her careful work, Aria responded with a calm but slightly amused tone, “Lucien, this cut isn’t as deep as you think it is. It looks worse than it actually is.” She continued to press the cotton softly against the injured area, trying to stanch the blood that still trickled from the wound.Lucien flinched slightly and looked at her with furrowed brows. “Please be careful,” he said, his voice softer now, both out of love and a touch of discomfort.Aria glanced up at him briefly, her eyes narrowing w
My Mysterious Husband 27: Gentle Husband's Care
Lucien had become a softer, more devoted man, pouring his love into every little thing he did for Aria. He tended to her with quiet care—preparing her meals, doing the laundry, and making sure her every need was met. With him by her side, life felt effortless, wrapped in the warmth of his steady presence. Each morning, he rose before the sun, visiting the market to gather the freshest ingredients. He cooked with love, crafting wholesome meals and nourishing drinks to keep both Aria and their growing baby healthy and strong.“Good morning, my love,” he whispered, brushing a tender kiss across her forehead. “Breakfast is ready.”She slowly opened her heavy eyes, blinking up at her husband with a soft, sleepy smile that hinted at the peace she felt in his presence. “Good morning,” she murmured, sitting up in bed and wrapping her arms around him in a warm, lingering embrace. “Thank you for being such a wonderful father to our child.”Lucien’s eyes softened as he returned the hug. “It’s th
