Erica doesn't understand and is extremely worried. It has been over a week, and she has been unable to contact Max. At first, Erica thought that because she was busy with exams, her boyfriend did not want to bother her. However, until today, when Erica has successfully completed the exams, she cannot contact Max. For the past few days, Max has not bothered to contact Erica. Erica has initiated all the calls and messages. Unfortunately, Max's phone always says busy or unreachable, and Erica's messages have gone unanswered. Erica wants to know what's happening. Why is Max suddenly missing and unreachable? Most of all, Erica misses her boyfriend terribly. A week without seeing him has made Erica very uncomfortable. Despite being busy studying and focusing on her exams, Erica still takes time to think about Max. Additionally, their anniversary is coming up, and Erica wants to organize a party with him. After much pondering, Erica decides to go to Max's apartment to meet him. Erica wanted
Since when did Max become such a scoundrel? He dared to cheat on Erica behind her back. Erica thought Max was a good man, not a womanizer. But as it turns out, that's not the case, and isn't it true that most men are promiscuous? If only the person out there wasn't Max. But it could also not be true. Erica has the right to hope so, even if only for a moment.The conversation outside suddenly stopped, creating an uncomfortable silence that made Erica feel tense.Heavy footsteps approaching her room startled her, and her heart was pounding.In a panic, Erica frantically searched for a place to hide and impulsively jumped into the large closet in the room. After entering the closet, Erica gently closed the door. The wardrobe is spacious, reflecting Max's tendency to be perfectly organized. The frosted glass door allowed Erica to see outside, but she hoped that no one could see her.Erica's eyes widened when she saw Kora, her obnoxious cousin, enter the room, followed by Max. She had never
A while later.Max slowly stood up and randomly picked up a piece of cloth from the bedside table. Erica watched desperately as he used the towel she had given him as a Christmas present to wipe Kora's breasts. After wiping, Max threw the towel, along with Kora's underwear, toward the corner of the wall. Then he pulled Kora closer to his chest."How wonderful." Max vocalized, gently caressing his partner's uncovered shoulder, "The appealing allure of your physique incessantly elicits a continuous sensation of stimulation within me.""Your men's skills are also very good; no wonder you are always surrounded by many girls. Also, there is a girlfriend who is very in love with him." Kora teased him as he sucked on her neck."But you're the only one for me," Max replied quickly, making Kora smile contentedly. While Erica covered her mouth to stop her sobs. Oh my god, her heart broke into pieces when she heard the words her lover said to Kora."Is that true? Or do you say the same to everyon
Seizing the opportunity, Max carried Kora into the bathroom. Erica managed to leave the room before it was too late. She carefully opened the wardrobe and stealthily stepped out of it. Erica had to crawl on her hands and knees to avoid being detected. Why did she have to act like a thief? Erica should have left openly, but as previously mentioned, she was not ready to face the couple yet. Erica was simply afraid of being hurt even more. It was better to leave quietly than to see the faces of two people who deserved to be punished and to endure their mocking and insulting smiles. It was not wrong; it was entirely consistent with Erica's hatred of injustice."Max, go outside and get a towel," Kora demanded. Kora's demand startled Erica, causing her to crawl even faster. Why were they showering so quickly? Or was it because Erica was lost in thought, making her movements slow as a turtle? While Erica was still lost in thought, the couple had finished their intimate activities."Anyway, we
"Why are you criticizing Erica so badly? Isn't Erica your girlfriend?"Kora pretended to be surprised. It seemed like Kora was speaking up for Erica's fairness, but in reality, she was subtly influencing Max to compare her even more to Erica. To make Max realize that only Kora was perfect."Erica was just a girlfriend by name. I never loved Erica." Max bluntly emphasized"So why did you date Erica and even publicly declare her as your girlfriend in front of your friends?" Kora asked with a hint of jealousy."Didn't I do that because you wanted me to?" Max asked, pinching Kora's cheek."Why would it be for me?" Kora feigned innocence. "Don't speak recklessly, Max.""Didn't you say you hated Erica? You said you would agree to date me after I helped you play a prank on Erica, didn't you?" Max reminded Kora of their past conversation.Max casually revealed a despicable secret. It turned out that it was all just a show that Kora had staged. Kora knew that Max liked her, so she took advantag
While Erica hesitated, Kora still refused to stop. Kora wanted to further bring down and humiliate Erica, and now seemed like the perfect opportunity to achieve her goal."By the way, Max, have you slept with Erica?" Kora suddenly asked"Of course not." Max immediately affirms, "I never had that intention and never will."Fearing Kora's jealousy and anger, Max added, "Kora, trust me, I will never touch Erica."Looking at Max's fearful expression, Kora smirked, "What did I say that made you sweat so much?""I thought you didn't trust me," Max added. "If you still doubt me, I'm willing to swear on anything.""No need; I trust you." Kora explained the sudden question: "I want to know why you wouldn't touch Erica. You two have been dating for two years, right?" "Someone like Erica, who would want to touch her? She's not as full and firm as you are." Max commented, squeezing Kora's chest to prove his point. Stupid Max did not know that Erica had hidden her valuable possessions all this tim
After a while, everything became silent.Kora was tired of acting scared, so she quickly regained her composure. Then did she glance, wondering how Erica was? Erica lost consciousness immediately after the impact. There was blood running from her head, quickly spreading all over the floor.Instinctively, Kora screamed in terror. Her whole body was trembling slightly."Max, it's not good. Something big happened.""What's wrong, Kora? I'm here; don't be afraid." Max asked with concern, and he hugged Kora tightly to comfort him."Erica..." Kora said hesitantly, "Erica, she...""Ignore her." Max cut in coldly."She's dead." Kora mustered up her courage to express her concern. Hearing that, Max suddenly turned his head to look at Erica.After that, they both separated and focused on Erica, the person lying motionless on the floor in the puddle of blood.Kora covered her mouth with her hand when she saw Erica lying there alone. Panicking, Max feared that Erica was dead. If Erica dies, Max wi
"Erica Watson, will you admit your crime?" The officer turned to Erica, emphasizing the question."What crime did I commit?" Erica asked innocently."Have you seen her wild, hostile attitude? It's a terrible thing. It's really disrespectful. She is ungrateful. No father, no mother, no education." Kora's mother immediately gave Erica a negative review.Erica was furious at the insults from Kora's mother. Her hands instinctively clenched, as if she wanted to crush something. Everyone in the room was watching Erica's behavior, including the police, who were curious about what she might do. After a few moments of silence, Erica regained her composure, surprising everyone. She chose to endure the situation instead of letting Kora and her mother achieve their goal of portraying her as the villain. By provoking Erica, Kora and her mother's false accusations against Erica would be more convincing."Erica Nelson, I'll say it again. Do you admit the accusations against you are true?" The police
Unable to cope with Ansel, Kora resorted to manipulating the crowd. Suddenly, she burst into loud sobs, constantly lamenting about her child. Mrs. Lani enthusiastically joined in, raising her voice to insult Erica."Everyone, please take charge and fight for justice for my daughter. This girl has caused so much harm to Kora. She seduced Max, Kora's husband-to-be. Such a wicked person like her deserves to be punished. It's outrageous that she is shamelessly deceiving another wealthy family. Can any of you tell me where justice lies?"Max's authoritative voice silenced the murmurs of conversation that had begun to spread."Have you cried enough? Have you caused enough chaos?""Max, you must demand justice for me!" Kora exclaimed as she saw Max approach. She rushed to her fiancé's side, pleading desperately, but Max ignored her and went straight to Ansel."Ansel Brown, it's nice to meet you." Max extended his hand toward Ansel but received no response."I sincerely apologize for what Kor
"Hey, don't you dare falsely accuse my daughter." Mrs. Lani saw Mrs. Mina and Kora being oppressed and spoke up in their defense. "If you want to accuse Kora, then present the evidence here.""Yes, please, madam, reconsider calmly," Mrs. Mina pleaded."There's nothing to reconsider. My son's words are the evidence," Mrs. Hani replied firmly.Mrs. Hani eloquently declared People noticed Ansel, who was next to Erica, and couldn't help but be surprised to learn that this person was Ansel Brown. Some began to worry about the outburst and whether Ansel might explode. It was a big mistake to offend the Browns. Towards Kora and Mrs. Lani, these two still kept their stubborn faces because they didn't realize who was standing beside Erica. Except for the fact that Ansel is Erica's husband. I must admit that Erica's husband is very beautiful and extremely temperamental. Kora is secretly jealous, and Mrs. Lani continues to maintain her anger.Many people, including Kora and Mrs. Lani, saw a lot
Erica glanced at Kora and Kora's mother for a moment before turning back and continuing to select the food she wanted to eat. Today, Erica didn't need to say anything; she just came to attend the party, eat her fill, and then leave. That's what her mother-in-law assured Erica before entering the event."Hey, I'm talking to you," Kora said angrily. "Are you deaf or mute?"Erica pretended not to hear and calmly walked over to the other side to get a piece of chocolate cake."Mom, look, Erica really doesn't care about us." Kora turned to her mother and complained. "Why did she show up here? She's ruining our dinner.""I will handle her," Mrs. Lani declared fiercely, advancing towards Erica."Hey Erica, have you forgotten about what happened last time at the shopping center? Do you want me to make you feel so ashamed that you'll want to crawl into the ground?" Mrs. Lani stood next to Erica, uttering a threatening remark.Despite the provocation, Erica chose to ignore it. She calmly contin
Suddenly, the butler appeared with an announcement."Madam," he said."What is it?" Mrs. Hani asked."Mrs. Mina has sent an invitation for you to attend her birthday party," the butler informed"Mina Bush?" Mrs. Hani raised an eyebrow suspiciously."Yes, ma'am.""Here you go," the butler said, stepping forward and handing the invitation to Mrs. Hani. After reading the contents, Mrs. Hani couldn't help but smile with delight, causing others to be wary."What's the matter, Mom?" Ansel asked anxiously."Erica, prepare yourself to accompany me to this party." Mrs. Hani made the request to Erica instead of answering Ansel."Mom, I think..." Erica began to express her thoughts."You must accompany me, no matter what," Mrs. Hani emphasized sternly."But Mom, my wife is pregnant; attending a party might not be suitable," Ansel objected, trying to protect Erica."Erica just needs to go with me; you don't have to worry about anything," Mrs. Hani reassured."But why does Mom want Erica to go wit
"Mom."Erica's gentle hand soothingly stroked her mother-in-law's back as she whispered softly in Mrs. Hani's ear:"Calm down, Mom. Don't fall into their vile trap."Faced with Erica's wise words, Mrs. Hani reluctantly swallowed her anger. Once again, Mrs. Lani felt frustrated as Erica disrupted her plans.Before Mrs. Lani or Kora could respond and continue their provocation, Erica turned to look at the mother and daughter, calmly stating:"I have recorded everything you both said. Soon, my lawyer will be contacting both of you.""What?!" Surprised and filled with doubt, Kora stammered, asking for clarification.Instead of answering Kora's question, Erica politely added:"We'll see you both in court. Now, we have to go.""Let's go, Mom, or we'll be late for lunch," Erica said to Mrs. Hani."Okay."The mother and daughter walked hand in hand, leaving the store. There was no reason to stop them. The crowd dispersed, making way for them."You two can't leave," Mrs. Lani stubbornly declar
"Who are you saying is the abandoned child?"All eyes turned towards Mrs. Hani as she approached. Erica's mother-in-law stood beside Erica. Mrs. Hani's haughty gaze glared directly at Kora. Mrs. Hani had been present for a while, but upon seeing Erica talking to the two individuals, she thought they were Erica's acquaintances and didn't want to disturb them. Given that Erica also had her own private social relationships, Mrs. Hani needed to respect that. However, Mrs. Hani was mistaken; they were not Erica's friends. Upon hearing what Kora and Kora's mother were saying about Erica, Mrs. Hani couldn't bear it any longer and had to step forward to intervene."Are you the one who just spoke correctly?""Yes, it's me. So what?" Kora replied with a defiant and disrespectful attitude towards the adult. Immediately, Mrs. Hani swung her hand and slapped Kora, causing her to feel a painful sting. Mrs. Hani's sudden and decisive action left Erica, Mrs. Lani, and even Kora stunned, unable to rea
Erica is five months pregnant.Erica's life has completely changed since Ansel's accident. She not only shares small everyday joys with Ansel but also receives sincere support and love from Mrs. Hani, her adorable and devoted mother-in-law. Today, Erica and Mrs. Hani had an exciting shopping trip at the mall. Erica's goal was to find essential items for the babies in her belly. They walked through several stores and finally arrived at a children's clothing counter."Erica, Mom is going to the restroom for a moment. You go inside first." Mrs. Hani announced"Yes, Mom, go ahead." Erica happily agreed.After Mrs. Hani left, Erica was left alone. She decided to enter the store and browse through some items while waiting for Mrs. Hani to return.While searching for the items she needed to buy, Erica found some adorable and affordable items at the grand sale. Thinking about the children at the orphanage, Erica decided to purchase some gifts for them. As she carefully chose clothes, suddenly
"Ansel," Erica called out, seeking Ansel's attention. "Don't remain silent like this. Speak up and share everything you want to say."Ansel looked at Erica with gratitude. Indeed, Erica understood him very well. Instead of directly demanding that Ansel forgive Kevin, Erica chose to encourage and support Ansel's decision. Erica believed that Ansel would find a good and beautiful solution to this issue.As Ansel looked at Desi and Kevin, his voice carried a resolute tone:"Both of you should leave and start a new life elsewhere.""What?!" Kevin exclaimed, taken aback. "Ansel, what are you suggesting?"Ansel, with a composed demeanor, explained his decision:"Company AB has a branch overseas, Kevin; I want you to go there and manage it."Kevin looked stunned at Ansel, not knowing what to say."Aren't you afraid that I might betray you? And why should I listen to you?" Kevin asked defiantly after a moment of thought."Firstly, for the future of Desi and your child, and also for your own s
"Erica, are you still mad at me?" Ansel bravely asked."Why would you think that?""Because of your silence," Ansel replied."I don't know what to say," Erica admitted. "There have been so many things happening that have left me overwhelmed.""Come here," Ansel requested. Erica was standing by the window, looking out at the sky.As Erica approached Ansel, he immediately embraced her and spoke."I'm sorry," Ansel confessed earnestly. "I have been foolish in my thinking and have caused you to worry. Will you forgive me?"Looking into Erica's eyes, Ansel appeared genuinely sincere. Erica didn't want to carry a heavy heart, so she nodded in agreement."Thank you, Erica," Ansel said, tightening the embrace as if he was afraid Erica would disappear."Ansel, no matter what, please fight for me and for our child, okay?""I will," Ansel replied."Ansel, I love you.""I love you more."Gently stroking Erica's hair, Ansel leaned down and gave her a loving kiss.Afterwards, they smiled at each ot
