Dashtan seemed to be struggling with his necktie as Rakia walked into his room.

"Oh, Hi, do you need help? Sorry for not knocking." Rakia smiled at the doorway of the room, to which Dashtan responded with a smile. Without waiting for the man's reply, Rakia went deeper and approached Dashtan and helped the man tie his tie.

"I'm going to Dubai tomorrow," Dashtan told Rakia, who frowned for a moment.

"Any important business?" asked Rakia, half curious and half not. Her hands moved gracefully to tie Dashtan's necktie. The man formed his lips into a straight line and nodded.

"My father asked me to come because he wanted to talk about something."

"You want to tell me?" Rakia was getting interested. She had finished with her tie-making.

“It’s about Dalilah.”

Rakia's gaze changed as she looked at the man; she was suspicious.

"Did she do something out of control?"

Slowly, Rakia began her talent as a journalist to pry for information. Dashtan exhaled.

"It seems so, but I hope it's not

    They passed by a month without significant problems for Dashtan and Rakia. Although Mr Reynaldi showed no signs of waking up from his coma, Rakia tried to stay strong and visited her father regularly in the hope that he would open his eyes and return to his old self. That afternoon, after Rakia got off work and was at the hospital where her father was being treated, her cell phone rang. “Yes, hello. Brand?!” Rakia looked unsure. “Yes, it’s me. Hey, can you come back to the office at six? We need to discuss something.” Her boss sounded unusual. Rakia realized something was up, and she wanted to know, so she agreed to the man’s request to come to the office at six. After hanging up the call, Rakia looked at the wall clock in the room. It was about half an hour later. She stood by her father’s side and looked at him with all the hope that he would return soon and open his eyes. “Dad, I’ll come back later,” Rakia said, leaving the room. On reaching home, she rushed to her room to showe

    For the second time, someone broke her heart and her trust. If her nature had been human, she would already be battered, bruised, and currently in a coma. She was waiting to see if she would die or have a chance to live again. Rakia cried all night and locked herself in her room. After she fought with Dashtan yesterday afternoon, she didn’t leave her room for hours until Rakia made sure he was asleep; she decided to go out to eat and drink something. By then, it was three in the morning. Rakia rummaged through the fridge and found four slices of pizza; she took them out and put them in the microwave, after which she ate them with a glass of cold cola. Her face looked terrible, with swollen eyes and a red nose. She swallowed as fast as she could. The memory of her fight with Dashtan yesterday afternoon at her current place came rushing back. The fact that he broke his promise not to bring another woman into their marriage hurt more than the pain Benjamin gave him. The tears started a

    They fought again when they met at home in the afternoon. Dashtan slammed the suit he had taken off his body onto the living room sofa when he saw Rakia passing by the living room and going towards the kitchen. He approached the woman who had also stopped waiting for him. He looked at Rakia with all the emotions mixed inside him. “Don’t make our relationship more difficult.” Dashtan began his attack. “Tell that to yourself. I’m just trying to make myself comfortable from the mess you made.” Rakia parried the attack so nicely that Dashtan was entirely surprised by it. It hit him hard. He stared at Rakia with his jaw set, his gaze sharp and intent on discouraging the woman. But Rakia changed quickly because of the circumstances that began to pressure her; she became immune to every threat. “So you’re going to hate me?” The question caused Rakia’s forehead to rise and her lips to a purse. She thought. “Probably yes, but I honestly thought of another idea.” Rakia responded to the curr

    After Rakia returned from Peru, she found Dashtan and Dalilah arguing in the living room. They hadn’t noticed her presence, so Rakia had watched them say with a flat expression. While in Peru, she pondered whether to move into her new apartment immediately or wait for the right moment. She listened to the material debated by the two humans upsetting her lately. They still discussed Dalilah’s insistence on moving in with Dashtan and Rakia. “Ash! I’m your wife now, too, and we’ve agreed to go through with this until you fix your mistake.” Dalilah spoke with anger visible in her eyes. Dashtan sighed while Rakia was confused and wondered. “Did they discuss this while I was gone? Oh, my God... It’s a good thing I came back today.” Her mind began to nag. “Yes, I know that, but I can’t hurt Rakia by making you guys share a house and fight every day, I’m the aggrieved one here, this is my house and I’m free to decide who can live here.” Dashtan persisted in arguing. “Are you going to let

    Dashtan helped Rakia move the woman’s belongings to his room. Rakia was arranging her clothes in Dashtan’s wardrobe, which was empty and unused by the man. When Dashtan had finished carrying all of Rakia’s belongings to his room, he approached the woman at his side of the room, which was a special place to store his clothes. He sat on the floor leaning against his other closed wardrobe near Rakia’s. “You don’t want to get a new wardrobe?” Dashtan tried to make conversation. “No, what for?” Rakia answered at once without looking at Dashtan; she was busy with her clothes. “It might not be enough for your stuff.” Rakia shrugged, reluctant to chat with the man, especially after the afternoon incident. To her, Dashtan was starting to feel a little stranger. “No need, anyway if this closet is not enough I can store my other stuff in my apartment. I’ll most likely move there too.” Dashtan snorted at Rakia’s words. He rolled his eyes and clucked, then reprimanded, “Rakia... I just want

    By midday, Dalilah arrived at Dahstan’s house with a number of items she had brought from her home. Several men were helping her carry her belongings into the room that Rakia had occupied. Dashtan had told Mrs Hunt about Dalilah’s arrival, who would be staying at her house. The woman also helped the men Dalilah had hired to lift her belongings. While the people were busy stealing their belongings, she observed every corner of Dashtan’s house. She was checking the living room, where there wasn’t much stuff. There was only a piano and a sofa set, complete with a table in the middle, a flat-screen television, and a sofa in front of the TV with a soft, fluffy fur rug underneath. “Ma’am, everything is finished.” One of the men she hired to help her move in reported to her when their work was done. Dalilah went out with the man and gave some money to the man she had spoken to before he left. After the men left, Dalilah began to take out her clothes and organize them in the closet, along wi

    Dashtan woke up first and looked ready for the office while Rakia was still getting dressed in the wardrobe room. As Dashtan came out of the room and headed towards the kitchen, he found Dalilah preparing breakfast. The woman turned her head when she saw Dashtan from the tail of her eyes. “Hi, come here, let’s have breakfast together,” invited Dalilah, who tried to look friendly and cheerful. Dashtan exhaled loudly. He stared at the two cups of coffee sitting on the granite countertop and stared at the toast with scrambled eggs. As Dashtan approached the table, Rakia came and also closed the table. The woman stared at the breakfast spread on the table. Dalilah looked at Rakia with a nervous gesture; to her, the woman was like a ruthless despot. “Did you make it?” asked Rakia in a curious tone while looking at Dalilah. The woman nodded nervously; Rakia snorted and then passed from the table to the cabinet to make her breakfast. She took the oatmeal from the top cabinet and picked up

    That afternoon, after Rakia brought the noon news and went to the downstairs cafeteria, she was surprised to find Dashtan waiting for her there. The man gave Rakia a look that signaled her to come over and sit with him at the table. Rakia sighed and complied with the man's request."Why are you still here?" asked Rakia as she sat down in the chair opposite Dashtan."I was waiting for you, let's eat together." Dashtan expressed his wish and then called the servers to order. Rakia ordered as well when the man ordered food."Why didn't you refuse the interview? You should have kept your distance from the media." Rakia let out her thoughts. In the middle of an unfavorable situation like this, the man proudly appeared in public. He let people pry into his private life. Dashtan sighed at Rakia's rant."I thought you wanted to host the show, so I just accepted." It was an honest answer. The woman in front of her rolled her eyes."The people out there will talk about you, you may think you ha

    Four months later.Rakia was surprised when Dashtan hugged her from behind. Her belly now looked bloated. She had just turned off the stove after the fried rice was finished. Dashtan kissed her earlobe, and it caused a slight sting that thrilled Rakia. “Are you done?” asked Dashtan in a highly sensual tone. “Why? You want to fuck me again?” guessed Rakia, which made her husband chuckle. Rakia rolled her eyes. “We should do other things besides bed activities. Eat, walk, work, the world is big and beautiful and there are many things we can do.” It wasn’t that Rakia didn’t want to, but they had done it repeatedly last night. Dashtan, who had just come from Dubai and left for three days, immediately asked for her nightly allotment. “I’m away for three days, I’m a man, there’s a lot of temptation in Dubai,” Dashtan admitted. Rakia turned her body to face the man. She draped both arms around her husband’s neck. “Where did you go while in Dubai? Did Razak take you to a place wh

    Dashtan opened the door to the room he used as a reading room and found Rakia sitting on a comfortable sofa reading a book. The woman's attention was distracted by Dashtan in the doorway, who smiled and greeted her. "Hi, feeling better?" asked Dashtan as he approached Rakia and squatted in front of the woman. Rakia nodded with a gentle smile. "But the doctor still doesn't want me to go to work, are you home yet?" It was Rakia's turn to ask; it wasn't even lunchtime, and Dashtan was already home. "I want to take you somewhere." Dashtan said, which made Rakia frown. She then guessed. "Not fancy gifts again," Rakia said; she didn't really like the way Dashtan gave her gifts. It was always expensive stuff, not that she wasn't happy, but she still had to get used to using things bought with piles of money. Dashtan chuckled. A month had passed after all the problems between them and Dalilah were resolved. Dashtan divorced the woman, and Dalilah had to go to jail for the crime of att

    Staring at the footage Dashtan was watching on Rakia’s tablet in his workspace, Dashtan checked all the footage Rakia had managed to get from the surveillance cameras the woman had installed in Dalilah’s room. It was only a matter of waiting for the woman’s arrest warrant from the police so that the police could freely search all her belongings. Dashtan transferred all the footage to a small flash drive, and tomorrow, he will submit the data to the police station as additional evidence. After checking all the data, Dashtan went from his office to his bedroom; he met Dalilah, crossing the living room. “Hi, what’s going on? I heard someone came in and Rakia-““Enough of the pleasantries, as of this moment I am no longer your husband.”The words were so quick but heard in Dalilah’s ears that she could only be surprised with widened eyes for a split second. Her lips seemed to move to say something, but Dalilah was just silent; Dashtan immediately walked away after saying that. Dalilah co

    Dashtan arrived home and dashed into the house, which was currently quite crowded due to the arrival of the police and medics. Without caring about his surroundings, he immediately entered and looked for the figure that was the heart of his heart. When he saw Rakia being treated by the medics on the sofa in the living room, he could only stand still with his eyes filled with tears. He slowly approached the couch, distracted by the man’s arrival. “Hi...,” Rakia greeted softly with a hoarse voice.“Sorry, sir, she needs to be taken to the hospital immediately; the bullet is still inside and must be removed immediately to speed up healing.” Dashtan immediately nodded to the medic’s words. He lifted Rakia’s body, carried her to the ambulance, and followed a few minutes later after finishing his business with the police who arrested the perpetrator. Dashtan, with his murderous gaze, looked at the perpetrator, who two police officers now flanked with his hands cuffed behind his back. He re

    A week after Rakia regained consciousness, the woman asked to go home because she didn’t feel at home in the hospital. But that didn’t mean she was free from medical treatment. She still had to keep resting and using IVs to support her recovery. The wound she sustained on her shoulder had not completely dried up, leaving her with pain Rakia could not tolerate. As a result, Dashtan hired a doctor who would come every three days to monitor and check on Rakia’s condition—and also asked the gynecologist, whom Rakia consulted and checked herself, to go to the house to check on the woman’s womb. Dashtan became super protective, which bothered Rakia, but she tried to understand. She asked Pedro to do it, but Pedro was a heart specialist with a busy schedule every day, so he couldn’t make it. “Don’t forget to eat and take your medicine; I’ll be home by lunchtime. Call me quickly if anything happens or you need anything.” Dashtan babbled at length, and it made Rakia roll her eyes because her

    On a bright and cloudy Monday morning, Dashtan tried to go to the office and finish some work that had been neglected. Whether he wanted to or not, whether he liked it or not, as the CEO of a multinational company, he had a lot of work to do. Dashtan looked at his appearance in the mirror, which was not wearing a tie perfectly. He remembered the figure of Rakia, who always put on his link every morning. But the woman was still on the verge of life and death. He let out a rough breath and decided not to wear a tie that day. He removed it from his neck and threw it on the bed. He went to the wardrobe room to get a slim-fit suit and put it on, after which he left his room. He called his secretary to order breakfast. “Sir, today there will be a visitor from the police who wants to see you.” The secretary told him when he had just arrived and sat in his chair. He had forgotten about it because his mind had been in turmoil for the past few days. “Yes, let me know when they arrive.” Dasht

    Dashtan's words were able to increase the panic and fear Dalilah felt. The woman stared at Dashtan with both eyes perfectly rounded. "W-what do you mean? That person must be lying. I don't know who that person is." Dalilah threw up her defense, to which Dashtan responded with a sarcastic smile. He lowered his raised hand, holding the cell phone to his side, and said, "I'm giving you a choice. Confess now, then I'll divorce you and not take the matter to the law, but if you still want to persist with your lies, you'll lose everything and end up in jail." Dalilah stared at Dashtan with a look full of fear. Her brain was busy thinking of defenses she should say to make him believe her. "Ash, I couldn't possibly do something like that. I am pregnant, so the doctor said, "This is your child; we will live happily." Dalilah was still trying to devise a defense that already sounded disgusting to Dashtan's ears. The man turned around and waved his hand behind him for Dalilah to stop saying

    Dashtan returned to the hospital after talking to Razak. Doctor Pedro met him just as he arrived at the door of the ICU; he had just come out of the room to check on Rakia. “Do you want to look after her tonight?” Doctor Pedro looked at his son-in-law with a sympathetic gaze. The look on Dashtan’s face couldn’t hide the anxiety that was engulfing him. Dashtan nodded. “You can sleep in my room, because the ICU doesn’t allow anyone in there except the patient.” Doctor Pedro informed, and once again, Dashtan nodded. “Come on, let’s go to the cafeteria for coffee,” Doctor Pedro invited, which Dashtan agreed to. He needed a conversation partner to distract him from worrying about Rakia’s condition. “I told Adeline about Rakia, she’ll be here tomorrow morning to see her. I know it’s worrying but that woman has been through a lot as a journalist. Rakia is a strong woman.” Pedro smiled as his mind recalled Rakia’s vigorous and unyielding figure. As a stepfather, he knew more or less what

    The medical team arrived along with the police, while the fire department arrived not long after. Liam immediately lifted Rakia's body onto a gurney with the help of a medical team and was then taken to the ambulance. The firefighters immediately put out the fire that was still raging and engulfed Rakia's car. Liam stayed for a while to watch the extinguishing process and answer questions from two police officers who had come to the scene. Several DS and other television station reporters covered the events at the location and tried to get information. This time, Liam became the journalist's target for information. The medical team had taken Rakia's body to a nearby hospital earlier. Dashtan came to DS shortly after the ambulance carrying Rakia's body left. "Where is Rakia?" Dashtan asked Liam with a panicked look on his face. "The ambulance just left for the hospital," Liam replied, and Dashtan immediately went to his car and followed the ambulance.
