"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
"Wow, you look really pretty, sis!"I looked at the little girl standing next to me. Her round eyes sparkled with enthusiasm and a clear gleam of honesty. Well, aren't children really very honest creatures? I just smiled while stroking her shoulder-length hair, and she seemed to enjoy the caress of my hand. Only, a few seconds later, her smile disappeared when a woman came into the room and called out to me,"Are you ready Sena? It's time for the bride to walk into the altar!”Instead of answering the woman's call, I chose to sigh and stare at my face reflected in the mirror. It's okay if other people say that I'm overconfident, but the truth is I'm really pretty. It even seems like I can fall in love with myself!“Stop daydreaming, Sena! Come on!”The woman urged when I didn't respond to her words just now. But instead of standing up, I chose to stay seated and tilted my head while looking at her coldly."Are you sure you want to be like this to me? Have you forgotten that I can make
“In a faraway land, there lived a beautiful, cheerful princess. She lived with the king who loved her very much because the empress had died while giving birth to the princess. Not only the king, everyone in the palace also loves the princess, it makes the princess never feel lonely. However, a fairy tale would not be complete without a love story. Just like fairy tales about other royal princesses, the princess also falls in love. But not with the prince, but with a manual laborer in charge of repairing the palace. Knowing his daughter is in love with an ordinary man, the king is furious! He did not approve of the relationship between the princess and the man. Of course the princess and her lover did not immediately give up. They fought with all their might to convince the King that their love was very strong. Until finally the king melted and agreed to their relationship after the princess chose to run away with the man she loved. They then married in front of all the people of the
There's a reason why Sena doesn't like fairy tales about princesses and princes. Or rather, she hates any story about a love that ends happily ever after. For her, all those stories are unrealistic, because almost all of them end in the beautiful wedding that many people dream of. Without thinking what might happen after the word 'happily ever after'. A story does not end there! Everything will continue and and those damn fairy tale writers sometimes forget to write down the continuation of the story. They are too excited to write beautiful love stories and put them in the heads of children who often hear fairy tales before going to bed. While in reality, not everything ends like that! Because Sena is a living witness who saw how a story of 'happily ever after' ended with 'deep sorrow until death is much better than life'.In a fairy tale that she witnessed with her own eyes, the one who played the role of the princess was her own mother, Miranda Wijaya. A daughter of a mining entrepr
She was 'forced' to enter into the fairy tale of her parents which was very tragic. At first, little Sena didn't understand what was going on with her family. She still looked at her parents with an innocent look without any suspicion. Whether it's because her parents are very good at hiding their problems, or Sena is just too innocent to understand all the signals of her family's breakdown. In the past, Sena had always thought that the reason why her mother often cried secretly was because she felt sad when she remembered grandpa. And the reason why her father rarely came home was because he was too busy taking care of the company after Grandpa died.That way, Sena spends her days in peace. A fake serenity, enjoying life as if her life was still as perfect as it was before her grandfather died. And finally, like a ticking time bomb, Sena's 'innocent' thoughts were suddenly forced to become 'adult' the moment that woman stepped foot in their house. A beautiful woman with a graceful fa
There is a wise saying, the most dangerous enemy is not an enemy who attacks you suddenly from the front, but an enemy who attacks you secretly, namely the people closest to you. If other people hurt you on purpose, then it's different from them. They often don't realize that their actions hurt other people. Even worse, they continue to commit the same crime under the pretext of "accidentally" or "unintentionally", causing other people to fall into deep sorrow. Is that enough? oh, of course not! Those people will complement their crimes with one final attack, which is the word 'sorry'. An apology that according to them is said sincerely so that it can erase all the mistakes they have ever made. And Sena, hates people like that the most!Sena drove her car, along the city streets that were not too crowded. Occasionally she glanced at her watch which currently showed seven in the morning. Well, What the reason she was driving so early? What's more, it's a Sunday! A small smile formed at
"Do I really have to do this?"Dira asked while playing with hER fingers. She occasionally glanced at the wedding hall which was not far from them."Of course! Have you forgotten that Adlet and Nana purposely visited your school to hand out their wedding invitations? Ah, just thinking about their audacity makes my blood boil...”Sena grumbled when she remembered Dira's story a few days ago. In her head, she started to wonder how Nana could be shameless and meet Dira without guilt? That's why she was determined to show Nana that Dira was very happy now.But Sena's burning anger disappeared when she saw Dira's face. Her best friend looked very beautiful with the dress and make-up that Sena gave her. However, seeing the look in Dira's eyes made Sena suddenly feel guilty. She then lowered her head while muttering sadly,"You must be annoyed because I forced you to do things you don't like.."“Yep!”Without further ado, Dira immediately answered, and this answer made Sena's heart sink even
Making peace with the past is indeed a difficult thing. But, believe me, when you do it, then only happiness will come to you next.~~~“Thank you for forcing me to come with you..”Dira said while taking a deep breath before exhaling strongly. The scent of roses filled her nostrils. Now, she and Sena are in a flower garden near the kindergarten where she teaches, after coming back from Adlet and Nana's wedding. Thankfully their marriage went smoothly. Dira feels like laughing when she remembers Sena's words this morning. She clearly invites Dira to destroy Adlet's wedding. But, instead of making a fuss, they attended the wedding quietly. Even though throughout the procession, Sena always gave Adlet a murderous look every time Adlet glanced at them for a moment."You know, if you keep wrinkling your forehead like that, you're going to look old a lot faster!"Dira flicked Sena's forehead, causing Sena to groan dramatically. As if Dira had just abused her."Wow, I didn't know you've bec

Without answering Dannie's greeting, Sena immediately threw her bag anywhere.

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
