James looked at Natasha, who was sitting in the garden of his studio. James wanted to approach Natasha, but it seemed that if he approached her again, she would reject him. James just didn't like that rejection. But, no matter what, James still didn't like Natasha."Does she eat regularly?" James held back the waiter, who had just walked past him. The waiter was ordered by James to serve Natasha only."Sir, I'm sorry, but Miss Natasha still often refuses the food that comes." The servant immediately sat down in fear."So Natasha hasn't eaten anything since her return? James again asked the waiter, who was still standing in front of him.''Aaa, sir, she ate some fruits and bread in the morning, but she didn't touch any heavy food.''"Alright, you can go."James ordered the servant to leave. James' eyes were still staring at Natasha, who suddenly stood up from her seat, so James did not have time to avoid Natasha. As a result, James looked back at Natasha blatantly, who looked frozen in
''Good, you listened to what I said. Now try to fight me one by one.'' James glanced out of the corner of his eye at the big man with a bald head trying to hit him. But James wasn't going to let that happen. His legs kicked the man in the stomach and hit the man right in the neck; the sound of breaking was so loud that the big body fell with a sound of pain. James again got a punch that attacked him from the opposite direction. James quickly pulled the hand and slammed it to the asphalt. Not only that, but James also twisted the hand of a man who was thinner than him until the sound of a break made him feel addicted.Two opponents he had successfully paralyzed two opponents but had not yet exhausted his energy. They had to know that the opponents they were currently facing were no match for whoever was behind all this chaos. What is certain is that they have dared to challenge James, so they all have to accept cause and effect! James was attacked once again and he had to fight three p
''I can't go to the office today, a little personal business.'' That was the text message Tessa sent to Axel.She watched her reflection in the mirror. Tessa had prepared neat, closed clothes. She had to meet someone for the first time, and somehow Tessa even felt nervous. Maybe because this was her first experience meeting someone who was not her client. She stepped out of her apartment and walked confidently to her car.''Relax, Tessa, this isn't a problem.'' Tessa tried to calm herself in the car. She felt a heavy heart to meet the man, but if she did not, Tessa wouldn't know what happened.Tessa started the engine and drove the four-wheeled vehicle at a moderate speed. Tessa and the man promised to meet at a place not far from Tessa's apartment. Tessa knew the place was often visited by socialite women, and this time the person she wanted to meet also had the same class. A social class that Tessa could never match. The trip only took half an hour because it was not so far. Tessa p
Sir, I am starting to fall in love with you. Then how do I make that love real? Whereas, just to be together, we have to hurt each other. ***Tessa pulled Axel's hand into a simple photo studio. Many photos were taken and pasted on the glass in front of the studio, all looking very happy. Tessa wanted to take how many photos that would also be one of the happy photos there."Welcome." The photographer welcomed Tessa and Axel, who had just entered."Do you think you could take some photos for us?" Tessa pulled Axel's hand tight and hugged his arm."What concept do you want? Are you a couple?" The photographer asked Tessa again to which Tessa replied with a small nod of her head."Then I have some suggestions for a couple concept, we also have some dresses if you want a wedding concept." The photographer picked up a book of concept photos that could serve as inspiration for the two of them.Tessa flipped through the pages to see what concept she wanted. Meanwhile, Axel was silent and
"Don't cry, baby; you're still mine. Let's celebrate your birthday together." Axel released his embrace and wiped away Tessa's tears.Tessa's crying began to subside. She gave a small nod and remained silent as Axel gently stroked her head. It's true that when you're in love, you feel a little idiotic and behave strangely."What are we going to do?" Tessa looked into Axel's eyes, waiting for his response."Of course, to celebrate, you want to eat at which fancy restaurant? Or do we go rent a mall for Kay to do some shopping?" Axel also didn't know where to celebrate the best birthday because it was the first time Axel had celebrated anyone's birthday other than his parents. Axel wanted the best for Tessa."I don't want any of that. I just want to spend this birthday with you." Tessa hugged Axel's body again, Despite all the luxuries, Tessa chose to be happy in a simple way.****"Dara! Stay out of my business." Xander was angry at his wife for the first time in decades, he hadn't rais
"Axel." Tessa took off her armor."What's wrong?" Axel saw Tessa's face turn serious."I have something to tell you." Tessa looked into Axel's eyes, She was hesitant to say this until Tessa had trouble swallowing her saliva."I'll listen, is the problem serious enough?" Axel turned his body to face Tessa holding Tessa's hand, Axel couldn't wait to hear what Tessa had to say.Tessa was hesitant to say that she should end this relationship. Tessa didn't want to be Axel's bed partner anymore, she didn't want to play too deep and ruin everything."I want it to be over, Axel.""What's over, Tessa?" Axel was again confused by Tessa's words."Everything...everything Axel." Tessa lowered her face; she couldn't say it."No.""I want it to be over, Axel, I don't want to be your secretary, and I don't want to be your bed partner anymore." Tessa lifted her face as tears welled up in her eyes."Baby, are you okay?" Axel was still trying to think positively about Tessa's sudden desire to end their
"Good evening, beautiful." Darius immediately greeted the woman, who was so beautiful when she opened her eyes."Hmm mm...""Hmpph!!! Help."Tessa continued to rebel, demanding that the duct tape covering her mouth be removed."I forgot my mouth; I gagged you." Darius pulled the duct tape over Tessa's mouth."Damn it! Who the hell are you?!" Tessa cursed and struggled again to get her body free from the wooden chair that bound her hands and feet so tightly.Plak...The sound of a tight slap was received by Tessa, who immediately felt a hot sensation spread across the surface of her face. Tessa also felt the taste of rusty iron slightly tearing the corners of her lips."Shut up! Do you want me to inflict more cruel torture than this?" Darius gripped Tessa's chin tightly. At that moment, he was splashed with saliva that the woman spat on his face. Fortunately, Darius still had time to dodge.Darius removed his hand from the chin of the woman, who was James Skywalker's wife."Hahaha, do
James clutched his hands when he saw the photo of Tessa's face tied to a wooden chair with a face full of bruises. James felt guilty that Tessa had to participate in Darius' dirty game."Damn it! I won't let you get away again, Darius; this time I'll send you straight to hell without mercy." James promised to repay Darius many times over for what the man had done to Tessa."Just shut up; don't reply to that asshole's emails. I'm sure he's making plans for me to fall into his trap." James would not be easily provoked; he would think this through before he acted.****"Put it there; slightly shift it to the right." Axel's hand asked the technician to move the billboard that was installed across the building that Axel had also rented to do a project that he would only show to Tessa."Okay. Axel again gave instructions from the talki walki in his right hand.Once again, there was nothing special about the billboards, which only displayed advertisements for his company's products. But behi
"Please don't stress too much Mrs. Josephine. Congratulations on your pregnancy," the doctor said, still leaving Tessa in shock. Even her hands were shaking violently. Tessa could hardly believe that she was pregnant, and that she could only find out two months after her husband's death,her body was so thin it was almost like a living skeleton. Tessa walked out with tears already welling up in her eyes. She no longer had the strength to take a step, amongst all the pain that still lingered. There was always Berlin to witness it all, her body falling into Berlin's warm embrace. "Tessa, is everything okay?" Berlin whispered, holding Tessa's falling body. Tessa's tears were all she could muster. Her lips were pressed together so tightly that she couldn't even let out a sob. It was all too shocking, she didn't know whether to be happy or sad to receive this news. Sadly. Berlin was again faced with Tessa's devastation which gave her Dejavu. Seeing Tessa in ruin for the second time,
"How is Mr. Josephine? Is this resting place big enough?" Hardin gazed at the burial place he had reserved. A very peaceful place to fall asleep in peace, Hardin also chose right under a tree that would protect him from the heat. "Very good. I agree to take this," Hardin replies to the person who helped him find a good burial spot. "Okay. But I apologize in advance. Who will be keeping it?" "Someone who will like it," Hardin replies with a smile. "I'm sorry for your sadness, Mr. Josephine. After this, I hope you get the best replacement," says the cemetery owner. "Thank you." Hardin turned back and looked at the places that had been filled. Many of the years were old, but Hardin would be the youngest to rest here. "Hello. I'm Hardin Josephine, I hope I can make good friends with you guys later," Hardin monologues to himself. Hardin looked up at the clear sky. He smiled with his eyes closed. God. If something happens to me someday. Please make sure the one I love is in a w
As he promised yesterday, today Hardin fulfills all of Tessa's wishes. From surfing to jet skiing and banana boat rides. Now they're recharging their batteries by sipping coconut water on the beach, leaning back on a couple of beach chairs. Hardin is possessive as he doesn't let go of Tessa's hand even though they're both just lying down."Honey, are you asleep?" asks Hardin, uncovering Tessa's beach hat that covers his wife's beautiful face.Sure enough, Tessa was sleeping peacefully, Hardin shielding Tessa's face with the beach hat. Hardin's eyes scan Tessa's face in full, his wife looks so beautiful there's no one like her, not even the goddess Aphrodite."Stop watching my face, I'm going to explode now." Tessa opens her eyes, she can't stand being watched intensely by Hardin."I thought you were asleep, turns out you were lying." Hardin moves closer to Tessa's face, giving a small peck to the small lips smeared with cherry-scented lipgloss."Almost, but you woke me up." Tessa chan
France, ParisTessa looked up at the Eiffel Tower in front of her eyes. She was with Hardin who hugged her body from behind, Tessa's breath emitted smoke as it turned out that the night in the Eiffel was getting colder. Because of the change of season that will soon be winter, Tessa did not stop smiling as she raised her head to enjoy the beautiful spark of fireworks."When did you prepare all this?" Tessa turns her head slightly to look into Hardin's face, clasping his hand tightly in her coat pocket."While you were gone, I called someone and told them what I wanted." Hardin nuzzles the top of Tessa's head.Tessa turns her body and looks into Hardin's eyes, one hand caresses Hardin's face and slightly stands on tiptoe to reach Hardin's face and kiss him gently."I'm so happy to be with you," Tessa says in a small whisper in front of Hardin's face."Me too." Hardin kisses the top of Tessa's hand.Tessa hugs Hardin's body tightly, the fear growing since a few days ago. Tessa wishes ev
A woman stands in a field of tulips. Her hair tied back, she is still busy tending to the plants with both hands. Tessa smiled as she successfully planted two new colors of tulips in her grandmother's backyard. Tessa continued to work on Camelia's flower shop which had grown in size, Tessa tried to stand up with one hand holding her belly which had again grown so large that it hindered her movement slightly."Madam you have too much to do today." Tessa again heard the small tone of the woman's voice that seemed to worry whenever she looked busy, even though Tessa loved all the work she did."Rania stop worrying so much. He and I are fine," Tessa rubbed the surface of her stomach."I'm just afraid of earning your husband's wrath." Rania made a pouty face."My husband can't get mad at you, as long as I'm with him." "I know what you're talking about Rania." Tessa twisted her body and turned around, she stared at the man who walked up to her still wearing his office suit."Honey, why d
The atmosphere was so sacred. Among the white roses that adorned the outdoor space, chairs were arranged neatly. With a white piano in the corner of the altar, everything was so beautiful that day.Tessa gazed up at everything from the second floor, she could see the atmosphere of the wedding venue. Tessa stood in a wedding dress with long flowing tails, the sleeves of which Sabrina had sprinkled with pearls on the chest. Tessa's head was beautifully adorned with pearls, the smile never fading from her face. "You look so happy," Berlin stood at the door, carrying a bouquet of orchids and white roses arranged in a beautiful little dangle."Of course," Tessa added, spreading her arms, welcoming Berlin who came running towards her."Happy new life my Queen." Berlin let go of her embrace, letting her tears fall on the bouquet in her hand."Why are you fucking crying!" Tessa cursed Berlin with a laugh."You bitch! You beat me to the wedding." Berlin joined in on Tessa's cursing, Berlin we
"You're not tired! I know you're sick!" Tessa covered her face as she cried in front of Hardin. Tessa felt like she couldn't do anything even though she was a doctor. She should have been more sensitive to this, but Tessa foolishly felt no suspicion at all."Baby, I'll get better." Hardin covers both of Tessa's shoulders and pulls her into a hug."You should have talked to me... Don't keep it to yourself, I'm your wife! No one else." Tessa continued to speak with a tightness that seemed to fill her chest."Who said you were the neighbor's wife?" Hardin laughed loudly."Hardin! I'm serious," Tessa punches Hardin in the chest."Crazy! I'm cured, I've got a really good personal doctor." "Who?" Tessa looks Hardin in the eye."You." Hardin strokes Tessa's cheek, wiping away the tears that still flow from Tessa's beautiful eyes."I'm serious. We need to go to the hospital, I need to know your pain in detail... What have you been feeling all this time?" Tessa still can't forget what happen
With only a glass wall as a barrier. Tessa looked down at the little fairy Athena who lay with several devices on her body, Tessa stared at the bag of blood that was still not full. This was already the second bag she would be giving to Athena."Hang in there little fairy, after this Aunty is sure Athena is much stronger." Tessa thought to herself, she seemed to have telepathy with the unconscious Athena."Miss Tessa the blood donation is complete." The nurse helped Tessa to remove the needle in her hand.Tessa changed her position to sitting. She looked at Athena with a feeling that was somehow so fearful, Tessa seemed to have an inner bond with the little girl. Hadn't Tessa said it wasn't the first time, she felt the same way.Tessa got off the hospital gurney. She walked out of the room, Axel's face and her husband Hardin's. Isn't it, a scene like this hasn't happened in a long time. Directly or indirectly the three of them were reunited-- albeit under inappropriate circumstances.
Axel stopped by a shop where he remembered that his daughter loved windmill-shaped candy. Before picking Athena up, Axel bought some candy."Athena will love it..." Axel smiled touching the various cute shapes of candies displayed in the window."Do you have anything else to add, sir?" "Not enough of these," Axel said as he took out a few bills from his pocket.After receiving the bag and completing the payment Axel walked back to his car. His foot stepped into the left door and sat behind the steering wheel, placing the plastic bag with his daughter's favorite thing right on his right side.The smile on Axel's lips didn't stop as his fingers continued to do a little dance as he gripped the steering wheel. The journey to his daughter's school only took about twenty minutes by car, but it seemed like the school was deserted. Axel's feet stepped out of the car into the schoolyard, he tried to find Athena among the students who were still waiting for their parents to pick them up."Miss
