Huh?Sena just gaped at Aunt Marrie's strange behavior. To be honest she was shocked, very, very shocked! She didn't expect that the day would come when this haughty woman would humble herself and beg Sena. Perhaps thinking that Sena's silence was a refusal, Aunt Marrie panicked even more. She hugged Sena's legs while speaking in a shaky voice.“I beg you, save our Wendy! Save her!”Aunt Marrie, who touched her leg roughly, made Sena, who was still in a state of shock, flinch in surprise. She quickly pushed Aunt Marrie's hands off her feet and took a few steps to keep their distance. Even though Aunt Marrie's current condition looked very sad, for Sena, whose heart had already turned cold towards this evil woman, she didn't feel anything at all. Well, actually Sena was a bit surprised. If the feeling Sena meant was sadness or sympathy, of course that would be impossible. But she was a bit surprised, because she didn't feel the emotion she always imagined she would have if this evil wo
"What?! Oh, God! I'm sure that woman must be crazy!”Dira hit the table in front of her so hard that the beer cans on the table fell. Her breath hitched with anger, although a few moments later she immediately bowed to all the tavern patrons who were staring straight at her. She quickly cleared the table which had been soaked with spilled beer. Then after that she sat back down and looked at Sena who was sit in front of her. That girl just drank the beer in her hand with graceful movements, so calm, as if nothing had happened to her. Anyone who saw them at this time, would think that Dira was the one who had a problem.“Urrgh! That woman really makes my anger boil!”"You know Sen, I've always found your calm to be a scary thing."Dira said while opening her third can of beer, then started drinking it until it was half left. Yes, Sena's composure has always been what Dira feared the most. That calm demeanor is like a calm river but in fact it has a swift current beneath it and is ready
At that time, Dira did not know the woman's true identity. She only knew that woman was a very rude woman. Just from the eyes of the two of them alone, Dira could immediately tell that they hated each other. When she saw what happened in front of her, of course Dira wanted to step forward and stop the woman who seemed to intend to slap Sena again. But, Sena who suddenly spoke made Dira stop her steps.“Now you might be able to act this arrogant-”Sena then stood up and looked at that woman. Her eyes that were originally filled with anger now returned to being cold, like her usual gaze."But, I promise, one day you will kneel and beg before me-"Dira could see Sena walking towards the woman and whispering something. It's just that she couldn't hear what Sena was whispering. But it seems what Sena said made the woman very upset. Again, she raised her hand high, as if ready to slap Sena with full force. But this time, Sena caught that woman's hand before it could touch her cheek. Sena gr
Sena stared at her reflection in the mirror. Her face was adorned with light make-up. She wears a salmon-colored dress that made her skin tone look fresh. This knee-length dress is a dress that is one of the collections in her store. There was a reason why she gave the best performance today. She wants to show the Walters family that she is an elegant woman, as well as to introduce her profession to the Walters family. Considering the Walters family is a family with influence, there's nothing wrong with her building connections to develop her bussiness, right?“Stop staring the mirror and come out immediately!”Sena glanced towards the bedroom door from the corner of her eye. There stood Aunt Marrie looking impatient. Sena could only click her tongue, amazed at how quickly Aunt Marrie's demeanor had changed. Even though until this morning, she was still on her knees and begging Sena to accept the Walters family's proposal.“Hhh-”Sena exhaled, then turned her body and walked over to A
Moments earlier...Sena stretched her aching body after facing days that suddenly turned into like a roller coaster. Even though the only thing on Sena's mind when she returned to her country was to start a business. And the most surprising thing is, Sena thought, she will not marry for a long time. But, who would have thought that in a few days she would officially become a bride? Even though everything was only on paper, it was still a shock for her!Her eyes glanced at the entire store that has not been filled with many items. Most of the clothes she sells are clothes she designed while she was in Paris. A small smile appeared on her face as she remembered one of the conditions she had said to the Walters family, which was to promote her store by making the clothes in her shop their official brand."Yeah, it's fine to sacrifice a little right?"Sena muttered under her breath while patting her chest to get rid of the nervous feeling in her chest. Every now and then her eyes glanced
“Why are you just silent? Didn't you say you'd save me?"Dannie asked Sena who was still frozen in her place. But Sena was still silent and did not say anything. It seemed the girl was too shocked that she couldn't answer Dannie's question, even though almost five minutes had passed."Huft, not fun-"Dannie lay down again and grumbled in a lazy voice,"Though I thought you would at least scream because I suddenly woke up.."Even though Dannie was ready to act in a coma again if this girl screamed and called the guards outside. He had already imagined how nice it would be to see the girl's frightened and confused face when the guards came in and saw that Dannie was still lying down as usual. Imagining the girl's panicked face as she explained what happened to the guards. But sadly, those guards definitely wouldn't believe her."You.. are awake?"After a long silence, Sena finally spoke. With quick steps she walked over to Dannie's bed. The shocked expression on her face immediately tur
Even without having to look at it, Sena could already tell that the thing that touched her neck was a knife. She shuddered when she heard the man's voice. Was she going to die in vain like this? She hasn't even done anything yet! She hasn't achieved her dreams! She had yet to repay Aunt Marrie for all the bad treatment she and her mother had suffered. She hasn't done anything, she hasn't done anything..."Sorry miss, but we have to end your life here .."The next second Sena could only wince as pain overcame her body. But the pain wasn't coming from her neck, but from her hand which was cut by the knife as she grabbed the man's hand before slamming him hard on the floor. Thankfully while in Paris, she took many martial arts classes. She used to learn it to deal with the bullies who bullied her when she first moved to Paris.Sena could hear the man's whimpering as he tried to get up and pick up the knife that had fallen from his hand. He seemed intent on attacking Sena again. But, befo
Sena opened her eyes slowly when she heard a knock on her bedroom door. At first Sena wanted to ignore whoever was currently knocking on her door because she felt so tired. However, whoever was in front of her room's door didn't seem like they would give up until Sena actually came out of the room.“Urrgh, is resting in peace a lavish request that I have to be bothered like this?”She lazily glanced at the clock on the table before finally walking towards the door while yawning widely. But, she was a little surprised when she saw who had been knocking on her door. She had thought that Aunt Marrie must have done it because she really enjoyed disturbing Sena's peace. But it turns out that at her door is Wendy. The little girl is wearing her school uniform. Her braided hair looks a little messy, even though her hair is usually always neat when she is going to school. Ah! Sena had so many things to think about, she forgot a unique routine that she had every morning since living in this ho
"Welcome back!"Dannie's bright smile immediately greeted Sena as soon as she opened the door to their room. The man was sitting reading a book, as if he was enjoying his time leisurely. Without answering Dannie's greeting, Sena immediately threw her bag anywhere. She quickly approached the man and pulled his collar so that Dannie's head looked up at her."You owe me an explanation..."Sena said to Dannie in a low voice. Different from usual, this time Sena didn't grumble or scream in annoyance. She actually looked calm without any expression on her face. Only her eyes spoke. The eyes that were now looking at Dannie with a sharp gaze mixed with a look of disappointment, which for some reason made Dannie's heart feel... hurt? Dannie didn't answer Sena's question. He just stared at the girl's face silently while reaching out his hand slowly and touching Sena's cheek. If usually Sena would immediately avoid his touch while grumbling, this time Sena just kept quiet and let Dannie touch he
It was the first time Paul saw his father sobbing (which Paul honestly didn't understand why). Indeed, his father respected Mr. Peter's family very much, but wasn't the death of their first child really due to his own negligence? For someone as strict with the rules as himself, what Kyllian was doing was ridiculous in Paul's eye. Yes, very ridiculous and irresponsible. Didn't he as an adult understand very well how dangerous drunk driving is? After all, don't they come from wealthy families? What's wrong with asking one of the drivers to pick him up? Or if not, he can use the services of a substitute driver. But instead of doing all of those options, he just acts reckless and ridiculous! So, according to Paul, what Kyllian experienced was the result of his own actions and he must take full responsibility for it.But Paul's father didn't seem to accept it when his son badmouthed his beloved young master. Instead, he scolded Paul and defended Kyllian with all his might, saying that it w
"What are you doing here?"If eyes could speak, then that would be what the eyes of everyone in this room would say. The surprised look then changed to a look of disdain, as if to say “Duh, looks like this woman doesn't know her position at all. How dare she come here without any notice?!” And all of that made Sena secretly sigh, to be honest she didn't want to be here either, but since everything has already happened, then just do it. Later, once everything was settled, she'd make sure to give that damn Dannie a lesson or two!In that quite spacious room sat twenty people whom Sena recognized as members of the Walters family she had met at a dinner a few days ago. You could say all the members of the Walters family involved in the company were present, including Serena and Mark. Although there were some faces she didn't really remember because she had never met them before. Including a young man sitting right next to Mark.Sena?The first to call her was Uncle Sony. The man sat strai
That idiot..Sena clenched her fists tightly as she reached the front of Walters' corporate headquarters. Though it had never once entered her head that she would personally come to this building. This 7-floor building will be the starting place for the battle.“Hahaha, what a fight! That man just wants to throw the responsibility on me..”Muttered Sena with an ironic tone. She didn't know why she suddenly had to be here to replace Dannie, but somehow she could feel something was wrong. As far as Sena could remember, Dannie had never mentioned anything about today's meeting of company officials. And seeing Dannie's behavior, he also didn't seem to expect that this meeting would happen.Sena actually didn't mind if Dannie asked her to join at the forefront of the battlefield in facing the Walters family. But wouldn't it be common sense for him to tell Sena ahead of time what plans he had? What annoyed Sena was that Dannie did the exact opposite! He didn't say whatever was on his mind,
This second mission can be said to be the main mission of all the revenge plans that Dannie will do. He would risk everything to make sure everything worked out. That's why right now he was standing in front of Sena, looking at the girl who was opening one by one the stacks of books in front of her. Occasionally Sena fixes the glasses that fall down her nose, while scratching her head. From her face, anyone could tell that the girl was trying hard to learn something. Sena's face grew even more sour when Dannie put a few more books on the pile that was already quite high.Because Dannie was about to start his revenge, he felt the need to teach Sena many things, starting from the history of the Walters family business, the company's branches and the types of commodities that the company focuses on. He also repeated information about the Walters family to Sena, especially regarding the power hierarchy within the family. Because according to Dannie, Sena's knowledge is still very low, tha
From the end of the corridor, Dannie could see that there were many people standing in front of their room, including his uncle, aunts and Serena. Just by looking at their gazes and expressions, Dannie immediately guessed what was going on there and made his heart feel like it was being squeezed tightly."No, don't let them suspect you."To be honest he wanted to step up and push his way through the crowd to check on Sena's condition. However, a voice in his head seemed to be asking him to wake up and remember his current position. If he rushed in rashly and panicked, he definitely wouldn't be able to push through the alibi he had concocted in his head the moment he saw the crowd of people. He prepared many scenarios in his head to save Sena from all the accusations that might be leveled by his family.Dannie took a few deep breaths to calm the turmoil inside his head.“Calm down Dannie! You are still far from your goal! If you fail now, you won't be able to avenge your family!”He ke
At first Sena thought, as soon as people left the them alone, Dannie would immediately let go of his arms from Sena's body. Maybe they would start talking about who might have sent that man here. Because as far as Sena knew, the only ones who had the keys to this room were she and Dannie. But it seems that Sena's guess was wrong, even after everyone left, Dannie still hugged her body. He just hugged Sena's body without saying a word, making the atmosphere between them become silent. Nothing could be heard other than the sound of their breathing and heartbeat.Sena didn't know what really happened to Dannie. Why was he reacting so strangely like this? With his body shaking like before, it was impossible for Sena not to think that he was really worried about Sena. But why? It didn't seem like long since she first met Dannie. She still remembered very clearly how Dannie reacted that night, when someone attacks her. How calm Dannie was when he saw Sena fighting alone to take down the man
“There are a few things we need to agree on before we start this marriage. The first, may not interfere in each other's personal affairs unless it can endanger the lives of other parties. Second, we must respect each other's rights. It is prohibited to ask one of the parties to do things that are not agreed upon. And finally, you may not touch the other party, let alone do sexual things without consent. If any of us violates this agreement, then they must be severely punished!”Sena's body froze instantly when she felt a strong hand that she was one hundred percent sure belonged to a man wrapped around her body. Instantly her conversation with Dannie when they discussed this marriage rang in her ears."If you touch me, I make sure your body will end up crushed on the ground!""Don't worry, I won't touch you without your permission. I am a man of principle, I was brought up to respect the rights and opinions of others."Dannie said those words proudly while patting his chest, occasiona
"For your information, that was my first kiss."Sena widened her eyes as she listened to Dannie's words, who was currently standing beside her. Currently they are busy greeting invited guests, most of whom are business colleagues of the Walters family. Even Sena's cheeks felt sore from smiling too much. But, as soon as she heard Dannie's words just now, the aches on her face immediately disappeared. She stared at Dannie in disbelief, not bothering to hide the mocking expression on her face."Wow, really a very innocent man. I am truly honored as your wife to know about it."Dannie immediately smiled wryly when he heard Sena's words that were clearly mocking him. He grumbled in a low voice so no one could hear him."Hey, I'm telling the truth you know! This is literally my first kiss!"Sena just nodded her head with an expression as if to say “Oh yeah? Is it true? Oh, I believe you". Dannie, who seemed unable to accept Sena's suspicions, spoke again to defend himself."I could swear, y
