"Damn it!" Adrian slammed his fist against the steering wheel after successfully avoiding the barista. His thoughts returned to the problem he was facing with Clara. Not to mention the incident from last night that had cost him a lot of money. Taking advantage of her for money.

He sighed, filled with regret. "How could she have tricked me, I'm not a newbie in that place?" He paused for a moment, then suddenly thought. "Wait! Clara's reaction earlier seemed a bit strange. I feel like she was... jealous!"

Prutt...

The sound was so clear and somehow appeared at the wrong time. Adrian looked towards the window, fanning his hand while covering his nose. "Why does my stomach feel bloated?"

Adrian furrowed his brows, ignoring the pungent smell that reached his nostrils. He tried to focus on his goal of returning home.

However, as he stopped in front of the gate of his mansion, his stomach rumbled again. This time, the foul odor was even stronger.

"Damn it!" Adrian cursed as he hurriedly got

    Amidst the throng, Clara stood transfixed, her gaze drawn to a woman in the crowd. "Clarissa..." she murmured, a wry smile playing on her lips."Miss Clara, do you know Miss Clarissa?" The receptionist's voice cut through her reverie. "Apparently, she's put herself forward to replace Mr. Simon Alexander! She claims she can handle everything easily without any additional costs."Clara turned, her eyes meeting the receptionist's inquisitive gaze. "I see..." she replied curtly, shifting her attention back to Clarissa.This was a bit different from what Adrian had said earlier, claiming he didn't want to work with her. But why the change now? Had his mind secretly shifted, or had he become drawn to that woman?"Lara, are you alright?" Joe asked, his voice laced with concern.Clara shook her head quickly. "No, I'm fine..." She rose, then turned back to Joe. "We should leave. I'll drop off my resignation letter at the reception desk."Joe furrowed his brow. "But...""It's settled, I've made

    "Clara, hurry up. We're going to be late."With that yell, Clara came out with her suitcase and immediately got into the car. "I'm sorry, I was...""Take this..."Clara looked at the still warm drink and chocolate-filled bread for breakfast, then happily accepted it. "Thank you."But Clara was puzzled, why wasn't the car moving yet? Didn't Joe say earlier that if they were slow they would be late?Seeing Clara's expression at that moment, Joe chuckled. "I don't want to drive until I see you eat breakfast and take your routine medication."No way! Could this man read someone's mind?Clara ignored him and looked relaxed. "What are you talking about? Don't be so dramatic, Joe...""Remember, I'm your doctor."Clara's smile faded instantly as Joe raised one eyebrow and even deliberately widened his eyes, staring at Clara.A gasp was heard, Clara finally obeyed his command. "Alright."Seeing Clara moving lazily, Joe smiled amusedly. He felt the seeds of love growing deeper in his heart. But

    A MONTH LATER…Clara woke up from her coma and sat up, feeling much better. “What happened to me? Since when did I like wearing pajamas to sleep?”Confused by the change, she decided to leave the room, but outside the door, her brow furrowed as she saw a woman standing there, smiling at her.“Lara, you’re finally awake.” The old woman embraced her tightly, her face beaming with joy. “My wait for your consciousness wasn’t in vain after all.”“Wh-who are you?” Clara’s cheerful expression vanished instantly as she pushed the woman away. The room fell silent.“Lara, don’t you remember me?”Clara snorted before walking away.“Wait, Lara…”Her steps faltered as she stopped, seemingly forced, without turning around.“You really don’t remember me? I’m your husband…”“Don’t joke around, I won’t be swayed by your charade. Tell me where Joe is…”"Joe…" Adrian repeated the name of the man he had sent back to Norway.He had painstakingly cared for her and waited anxiously every day, but Clara igno

    "What happened to me? Why can't I remember anything!" As everyone left her alone in the room, Clara squeezed her head tightly. "How could I not remember that I was married to the owner of this house?"Clara shook her head, unwilling to be consumed by her thoughts. She reached for her phone, intending to manage her social media influencer business. But when she found it, she discovered the screen was cracked. "How could this happen? Maybe my phone is broken!"She kept pressing the power button on the side, but her phone wouldn't turn on. Clara growled, frustrated. Damn! She needed her phone. How could she manage her social media accounts without it? Her account already had millions of followers, and she had a lot of products to promote. Without a phone, she would lose a lot of money."This can't be, I need a new phone. But where's my bank card? I'm going to get out of here and buy a phone." She looked around the room. Her eyes fell on a small table in the corner. There was a vase with

    Clara and Adrian arrived at the lavish and crowded birthday party, filled with businessmen and socialites. Adrian introduced Clara as his wife, causing a stir among the guests. Whispers filled the air, and Clara felt uncomfortable in her role, feeling like a mere decorative ornament. Was Adrian deliberately doing this to show off his power? Adrian noticed the unease in Clara's eyes, but he couldn't deny the allure that simmered within her. In his eyes, Clara was a breath of fresh air. He felt the need to delve into her soul and romantically clasped her waist, making the atmosphere even more awkward. What was this? Clara felt displeased, but the man tightened his jaw, signaling that she had to play his game. He whispered, "Everyone here brought their partners, I hope you don't cause a scene." Clara snorted coldly. "Hey, you two, aren't you thirsty?" They both turned as a woman approached, offering them drinks. "You?" The woman and Adrian pointed at each other's faces in unison.

    “Good heavens! It’s morning already.”Clara woke up to find herself still in the car. The sunlight was blinding. She turned to her side and saw Adrian still asleep in the driver’s seat.“Why are we still here, Adrian?” His eyes flew open at the sound of her voice, and he rubbed his face.“Lara, I’m sorry, I fell asleep.”“You didn’t take me home?”Adrian scratched his head, trying to figure out how to answer.“I…”“Where’s my bag?” But as she tried to stand, a sharp pain shot through her lower body. “Ssh…”“Lara, are you alright?” Adrian helped her shift, and Clara didn’t resist his touch.Her eyes widened, feeling strange as she noticed a red stain on the seat. ‘This isn’t the time for my period, why…’ Her brow furrowed, a question forming in her mind.But Adrian found her bag first. Clara covered the stain with a handkerchief from the small pocket of her bag. “Adrian, I need something… but could you step out for a minute?”“Alright…” Adrian obeyed, his heart pounding with anxiety

    When Adrian woke up at 10 a.m., the first thing that came to mind was the desire to see Clara and resolve the issues from the previous day. Adrian, the CEO of Founderflash, had been ensnared by her charm! Anger burned in his eyes as he surveyed the room, but there was no sign of her. In his peripheral vision, a piece of paper on the bedside table caught his attention. "What's this?" Adrian muttered, frowning as he picked it up. He squinted and his expression suddenly turned somber. Adrian couldn't believe Clara had used his real name when writing him a letter. He abruptly stood up and turned to leave Clara's room, radiating a fierce aura. "Have you seen Lara?" he asked the housekeeper. Dorce's was startled. "Young Master, Miss Clara left before dawn, taking her suitcase with her," she replied. Adrian was shocked.

    “Sir, we still haven't been able to find your wife. Should we continue the search?” In his secret headquarters, Jordan exhaled a plume of cigarette smoke in despair. He fell silent, thinking for a moment, wondering where Clara had gone. “You guys take a break first, I’ll figure out what to do next.” The man with the real name Jordan felt frustrated. He couldn’t imagine what would happen if Clara truly disappeared from his life. “Lara couldn’t have just disappeared like that. She must be hiding.” Jordan lowered his head, typing something as a message for Clara, but the words he typed were messy. He kept deleting and retyping. “What should I say?” *** “Kak Lara, your order has arrived…” Clara sluggishly got out of bed. She was going to leave the room to get a drink and receive the food she ordered online. Her steps were unsteady. Clara’s body grew weaker each day. The change became a concern for everyone in the house, including her grandfather who had only been home for two days.

    The next few days were a blur of tender care and cautious optimism. Raisa recovered remarkably well, her strength returning with each passing hour. Jordan, usually a whirlwind of activity, found himself strangely content in the quiet routine of caring for his wife and their newborn daughter. He named her Anya, a silent tribute to the woman whose selfless act had saved Raisa's life.One evening, as Anya slept soundly in her bassinet, Raisa stirred, a flicker of unease in her eyes. "Jordan," she whispered, her voice still weak, "I had a dream... a strange dream."Jordan sat beside her, his hand gently stroking her hair. "Tell me, my love.""I was in a place... dark and cold. A woman was there, her face obscured by shadows, but her voice... it was familiar. She was speaking of a secret, a terrible secret that must never be revealed."Jordan listened intently, his initial dismissal of it as a postpartum dream slowly fading as Raisa described the dream in vivid detail.

After all, as far as I know Aldi is so insistent on being with you." She then looked at Anna. "Sorry Anna, I don't want to interfere with your problem, but what if you listen to him talk sometimes." "You're defending him?" "N-no, I m-mean... It's best to make sure of the real thing first, if it's true that Aksi is guilty, I'll punch him immediately."  *** "Anna..." Aldi quickly chased away the drunk thugs who had just bothered his girlfriend. "What are you doing outside at this late hour?" Anna took a breath, adjusting it to be stable. Luckily Aldi was in the right situation, if not, who knows what would have happened to her today. "Thank you, again I'm bothering you, I'll be careful in the future." Aldi sighed, "Is that enough?" Anna realized that she was so selfish,

    The dinner was over, Randy and Dessy were still watching TV, while Anna chose to sit on the patio and busy herself with her phone."Anna..." Aldi followed her there, and Anna greeted him with a sour face, accompanied by a piercing question. "Why did you do that?"Unconsciously, his voice was a little hoarse. Aldi moved his mouth, trying to explain. "This is a misunderstanding, I don't know that girl at all, I don't know why she was so reckless..."Anna could see the honesty in his eyes, but her heart still hurt, so a word came out of her mouth. "For now, it's better if we don't meet for a while...""Why?"Aldi couldn't accept hearing the short sentence that seemed to pierce his heart, his eyes looked at Anna's face with a dull gaze.While Anna deliberately looked away, "I just want to be alone, so don't bother me for now."Aldi tried to get closer to her, but she immediately moved away.

    "Why is Anna taking so long?" Aldi repeatedly checked his watch, even getting in and out of the car to wait for his lover. His eyes stared at the box he had just bought as a surprise for Anna. "I hope she'll like this beautiful cake." However, it was almost dark, and Aldi had been waiting for hours in front of the fifteen-story building, but the one he was waiting for hadn't shown up yet. Suddenly, a group of beautiful girls appeared, just coming out of the building, and actually pointed at Aldi with their whispers. "You didn't see, there's a handsome man there." What a bunch of flirty girls!Although Aldi heard them, he deliberately turned his face away, too lazy to respond to the girls dressed formally but scantily clad. This was far different from Anna's appearance, who wore a hijab. In the midst of his thoughts, one of the girls dared to approach him. "Hi, I'm Kiran. Can we get to know each other?" She was in her tw

    "Here's your order, you get a bonus of one exclusive Swiss-made handbag."Dessy reappeared, carrying three packages ordered by her customers. While they were chatting, Anna distanced herself from them. This was because she was texting Aldi, walking around the apartment with her eyes glued to her phone, not paying attention to where she was going. Brukk!Unfortunately, Anna was so careless that she bumped into someone. She immediately bent down to apologize. "Wait!"She hadn't had a chance to see the person she had bumped into. They were facing each other, and it felt like she recognized this person. Anna mustered up the courage to touch the mask covering their face and quickly removed it. "Aldi?" Anna was shocked to see her fiancé standing in front of her, smiling. "Since when were you here? Didn't we just..." "Right, this is a surprise, isn't it?" Initially, the man wanted to avoid this, but since he had been c

    "Anna, you have a visitor..." In Dessy's apartment, Anna sat leaning back, exhausted after a long journey. "But I'm very tired, Dessy. Why don't you just..." But her friend had already dragged her out to the terrace. Even though she put on a grumpy face, "Who is the visitor anyway..." Dessy didn't seem to mind, but Anna was silent when she saw a familiar figure standing behind her. "Who is that?" The person in front of her suddenly turned around. "Ayunda...?" Anna couldn't believe that the woman had come to see her. Ayunda seemed surprised too when she realized that the person she met was not a stranger, and they just stared at each other without a word. Why was the atmosphere so awkward? "How are you..." Anna tried to act nonchalant, as if nothing had happened. She invited her guest inside and acted friendly, forgetting the time when they argued in the past.

    "Honestly, I feel sorry for her..." Aldi and Anna both turned towards Dessy. "Why?" "Apparently, after her company went bankrupt, her mother took Hanif's two children with her." "They're his grandchildren too, so she must be feeding them," Aldi said, trying to stir the pot. Anna, who had been silent until now, finally commented. "How do you know?" "It's all over the internet, and the worst part is Ayunda..." Dessy shook her head and clicked her tongue. "She's getting worse." "What do you mean?" Anna frowned. "She's become a PRN* star, it's a job that... God forbid, I hope all my descendants are free from such things." Anna became curious. She realized that she had to listen to her friend's gossip now. However, she had to get the right information since she had already been told. "How do you know so much?" Dessy widened her eyes in annoyance. "I saw it on

It seemed that not only Joe was impatiently awaiting the next day, but Clara was also eagerly anticipating their wedding day. Her unwavering smile became a topic of conversation among her neighbors, curious about her busy day. "Mrs. Lara, are you sure you want to replace all the decorations in this room?" A worker felt sorry for all the furniture and everything visible in the apartment. Everything was still new, they couldn't bear to throw it away. As if understanding the workers' thoughts, Clara smiled faintly. "I just want to change the scenery in this house, you can take any old furniture or anything else you like." "B-but ma'am?
