Alice woke up when the sun was shining brightly. She doesn't know what time it is, but Alice's body feels very painful.
She looked around, and it turned out she was in Jordi's apartment. Alice already knows the interior of Jordi's room, which she often visits. How surprised Alice was to see Jordi sleeping next to her. Jordi was shirtless and was even more surprised when she found herself only covered in a blanket. She looked under the blanket, and Alice found that she was not wearing any clothes. "ARGH! WHAT HAPPENNED, JORDI?" Alice screamed hysterically and at the same time woke up Jordi, who had exerted too much energy last night. Jordi, who was still gathering his spirit and strength, immediately woke up because of Alice's scream. He found himself without a single thread and only covered by a thick blanket. Meanwhile, Alice, the same thing happened to her. Jordi immediately sat up and thought again about what happened last night. "Sorry, Alice." Those were the only words Jordi could say to Alice. Really... he still couldn't remember what happened last night, but it looked like they were making love, as evidenced by all their clothes that were scattered on the bedroom floor. "Why are we like this, Jor?" Alice began to regret herself for what had happened. "Sorry." Jordi couldn't say anything. Alice's body shook violently, but she didn't want to cry. She really regrets what happened to her and Jordi. How will their relationship become awkward after this? Can they still be friends? "I will take responsibility, Alice." Jordi put his arm around Alice's shoulder and kissed the top of his friend's head. "Re-responsible for?" Alice's brain is still hank. This incident shocked Alice so much that she couldn't think. "Yes... I will definitely marry you. Especially if you are pregnant. I will be responsible for you and our child." Jordi looked at Alice's eyes very seriously. He had made up his mind to look after Alice even though he had to be separated from Hana, his girlfriend of only one year. Now Hana is abroad on holiday with her extended family. Alice thought for a moment. Shut up. She tried to clear her mind and the chaos that had occurred. "Alice," called Jordi to interrupt Alice's thoughts. "Never mind. Pretend none of this ever happened," said Alice, trying to be strong. She didn't dare look at Jordi's face at all. This is not one hundred percent Jordi's fault, Alice is also responsible for this incident and Alice should not blame all these problems on Jordi. Jordi and his family are too good for Alice. "Huh... what do you mean by pretending what we have done was never happening?" Jordi is increasingly confused by Alice. "Never mind. Forget it. Besides, I won't get pregnant, Jor," Alice whispered. "Huh... what do you mean you won't get pregnant, Alice?" Jordi was confused. His friend was very strong and didn't seem to mind that Jordi had taken the most valuable thing as a girl from Alice. "Later, when I go home, I will buy contraceptive pills at the pharmacy. So you don't have to worry about pregnancy anymore," replied Alice in a hoarse voice, holding back her regret. She has to be tough. "B-but I..." Jordi felt unwilling to hear Alice say something like that to herself. Jordi wants to take responsibility for what he did to Alice. Consciously or not, Jordi has ruined Alice's life. "Never mind; we don't need to prolong it any longer. Our future is still long. There are still many things I want to achieve, and I don't want to burden you with liability issues." Alice tried to pick up her clothes that were scattered on the floor. Embarrassment covers Alice because Jordi sees her all the time. Maybe without batting an eye at all. "Alice, don't be like that. I feel like I'm being a really rude guy to you. I've taken away your future husband's rights," regretted Jordi. "Never mind. Virgin or not, that's not a problem at the moment. Even if Nino doesn't want to marry me later because I'm not a virgin, that's fine. I'll just look for a foreigner to marry me," Alice decided without thinking. Nino is Alice's boyfriend, whom Alice has only been dating for eleven months. "Yeah, don't be like that, Alice. I already said that I want to be responsible." Jordi became annoyed with everything Alice said, which seemed to negate Jordi's presence as a responsible person. "This is all a mistake that we have to cover up until the end of our lives, Jor. Don't ever discuss all this again. We are friends as usual; nothing wrong has happened in our relationship," said Alice. "Alice... I" It felt like Jordi wanted to be angry with Alice. However, Jordi is not a jerk who sleeps with random women. Alice was the first woman Jordi had sex with. "Never mind, Jor. I want to go home first." Alice pulled back the blanket and started picking up all her clothes that were scattered carelessly on the floor. Alice feels embarrassed about herself with Jordi. She wanted to cry, but she still had to hold on. Friendship during this time must remain friendship. Alice can't ask Jordi to marry her. The reason is that Jordi's parents have helped Alice a lot, especially with scholarship issues. They helped Alice because Alice had saved Jordi during an accident and even donated her blood to Jordi. So Jordi's parents feel indebted to Alice. However, despite that gratitude, Jordi's parents warned Alice to behave properly towards Jordi. Just as a friend, nothing more, because Jordi is the heir of the Soebrata Group, who will definitely be married in business to someone of Jordi's level. They had told Alice from the start. Alice really understands Jordi's parents requests. She has also promised Jordi's parents that Alice will not have any feelings for Jordi. Just good friends. Jordi and Hana's romantic relationship is a relationship that is highly approved by Jordi's parents. They are at the same level. Jordi's parents even asked Alice for help to bring Jordi closer to Hana. What did Alice do? Of course she did. She asked Jordi to date Hana. The result? Jordi and Hana are dating and have been dating for a year. Alice successfully matched Jordi with Hana, and they will even get engaged next month. Jordi's parents are very happy with the results of Alice's hard work. "Alice," Jordi called again when Alice had gone into the bathroom to put on her clothes. Alice saw that her body was full of the results of Jordi's fondling. She winced in pain in her intimate parts. Earlier, she tried to walk even though it hurt. Alice felt like she wanted to cry. "What should I do now?" Alice whispered in her heart. Jordi immediately put on his clothes. He saw the red stain on the white sheets, and suddenly guilt rose in Jordi's chest. It feels tight. Knock! Knock! Knock! Jordi knocked on the bathroom door while wearing his full clothes. What a mess of clothes scattered on the floor. Last night, Jordi and Alice must have been crazy. "What, Jor?" asked Alice, holding back her tears while putting on her clothes. Her body felt so painful, like it was being split in two. "Can we talk again? I can't do all this and pretend that none of this happened!" Jordi stressed. "That's it, Jor. Don't prolong it!" Alice whispered. Her voice was starting to shake. She couldn't talk to Jordi anymore. Suddenly from the door. TING TONG! TING TONG! TING TONG! The doorbell to Jordi's apartment unit rang as if impatient. Jordi and Alice's hearts felt like they were going to fall out. Who came to Jordi's apartment? Really, that person came at the wrong time.The sound of the bell being pressed in Jordi's apartment unit seemed like it wouldn't be patient.Alice, who panicked, immediately came out of the bathroom and was fully dressed. She then gave Jordi a code to straighten the messy bed and replace the bed sheets with new, spotless sheets. After finishing all that, Alice gave Jordi a code to immediately open the door, while Alice would hide in Jordi's cupboard.Jordi immediately came out of his room and headed towards the entrance. He looked at the door view and found Hana behind the door."Oh, my God. Bad time!" Jordi cursed when he saw Hana's bent face.At first Jordi wanted to open the door straight away, but he saw Alice's shoes and bag on the floor right near the entrance."Oh my..." Jordi immediately took Alice's shoes and bag into his room, throwing them into the cupboard that Alice was occupying."Ow... slow down, wow!" cursed Alice."There's Hana," said Jordi quietly.Alice immediately covered her mouth, then Jordi closed the cu
Jordi panicked because he heard something fall. "Did Alice fall? Did she faint?" Jordi muttered to himself. He became very worried about Alice, who was still in the cupboard. He didn't even care about Hana's accusations. It felt like Jordi wanted to immediately throw Hana out of his apartment now. "This is none of your business, so you better get out of here. I still want to continue making love with the beautiful girl in my room. So please... don't disturb my fun!" Jordi pulled Hana's hand to get out of his apartment unit, even though Hana was still trying to hold on. Hana's energy was far less than Jordi's, so Hana was forced to leave Jordi's apartment unit feeling confused. "JORDI!" shouted Hana, who was still hitting the door of Jordi's apartment unit. Jordi no longer wants to serve Hana. Let Hana complain to her parents or Jordi's parents later. Jordi didn't care at all; the most important thing now was how Alice was doing. Jordi ran to his room and found Alice tidying up
"There's still a long way to go in life, Jor. Besides, you can't possibly marry me." said Alice, Try to calm down.Jordi got up from his seat and walked slowly towards Alice, who was still busy eating. He then pulled up the chair next to Alice and turned Alice's body to face him."What do you mean?""You don't have any feelings for me at all. There's no love, so why do you have to force me to get married?""Al ..." "Especially because you are scared that I will be pregnant. No! I don't want that, and I don't want to feel sorry for my child because he or she lives without love from his father," explained Alice as if she didn't care about the sad look in Jordi's eyes."What if I say I love you?""You're ridiculous!" Alice swiftly poked Jordi's forehead. "You're still affected by the drug, aren't you?" teased Alice, smiling confusedly."Are you serious?" Jordi stared at Alice's eyes very deeply."Never mind... don't because of what happened last night, you said you love me. I'm not aski
"No!" Alice said it firmly, even though she was very embarrassed. Alice didn't expect that she would be serving Jordi's seductive lips. "Haha... don't lie to me. I know you really like it when I kiss you." Jordi chuckled amusedly seeing Alice, who was getting more and more embarrassed. "I want to go home now." Alice pushed Jordi away from her, then started to take her bag and shoes. "Hana is still in front, you know!" Jordi said he was lying. What's more, the goal is to keep Alice in her apartment longer. "Are you serious?" Alice lowered her bag again. "Why can't I be serious?" "So when can I go home?" asked Alice, who was starting to get desperate. She was no longer strong enough to be with Jordi in the same place. Her heart kept beating erratically. "Later tonight. I'll take you with me. Then you'll just wear a hoodie and my bag. So you won't find out that you're a girl. Oh yes... don't forget to wear a mask and sunglasses." "ARGH! Jordi, why is it so complicated?" Alice sta
"Yes, that's because I'm still sleepy and you're bothering me," said Jordi irritably. He looked for whatever excuse he could to get rid of Hana and Norita from his apartment. "You lied," said Hana, who still didn't believe Jordi. "You guys really don't believe me, do you?" Jordi protested. He pretended to get a drink in the kitchen while guarding Alice's hiding place so that Norita and Hana would not visit him. "But there are kissmarks on your neck, Jor!" Now Hana's voice started to come out in a protesting tone. "Oh, well... that's the name of the club too. Everyone is drunk. So if a drunk woman gives me a kissmark on my neck, that's normal," Jordi explained again. "So you were drunk last night? Oh my goodness, Jordi! I have told you many times that you shouldn't be drunk." said Norita angrily. "Yes, yesterday was the graduation ceremony; just passed the tri
"But first, you promise me one thing!" Jordi looked at Alice's eyes, which were glistening with tears."What?""Promise first!""Ah... this is a tricky promise! I'm too lazy to promise you," said Alice.She was too often deceived and trapped by Jordi's promises, where the last sufferer was her. Alice already knows Jordi's annoying behavior by heart."No. This time I won't lie!" Jordi stared at Alice's beautiful eyes. He tried to reassure Alice with his very serious eyes."I'll listen first; what do you want? If it makes sense to me, then I'll do it." Now Alice is smarter than ever. Not to surrender and believe in Jordi's promises and boasts."Haha... you're starting to get smart, aren't you?" Jordi poked Alice's forehead gently."Of course""I want you to never leave me. No matter what will happen next," asked Jordi very seriously."Hmm...""Why are you even thinking?" Jordi protested
Alice's cell phone rang, indicating an incoming message. Alice immediately grabbed her cellphone and saw who sent her the message.Jordi: Alice, don't you ever think about leaving me! Because I will chase you forever. I love you to death, and no one can replace you in my heart!Alice stared at the flat screen on her cellphone. Take a rough breath. "ARGH! Why is it like this?" Alice screamed in her heart while ruffling her own hair.Chaotic... that's the most appropriate word for Alice right now.Ting!Alice's cell phone rang again. Lazily, Alice looked again at the contents of the message, and it most likely came from Jordi, and it turned out that Alice was wrong. The person who sent the message was Nino. His current boyfriend is out of town because of his work.Nino: Hi, darling. What are you doing? What time did you come home yesterday? Why didn't you tell me?Alice: Sorry. I forgot. Last night Jordi was sick. So I hel
Alice stuttered. She didn't know what she should do. Accept Nino as her husband? No. Alice is too dirty for that. Nino didn't deserve a newly broken Alice."Alice," Nino called softly and broke Alice's thoughts."Yes, sorry," Alice answered nervously."Will you marry me?" Nino repeated his question again. His position was still the same, kneeling while pointing the box containing the ring in front of Alice."I-I..." Alice was confused about what to answer. She wanted to say yes, but Alice couldn't lie to herself that she didn't love Nino. How will this loveless marriage continue? Poor Nino, who had too much hope for Alice. In the eleven months Alice has been in a relationship with Nino, she has really tried to love Nino, but for some reason it is very difficult.Moreover, Jordi always interferes with their getting to know each other. If Alice said no, then Nino would definitely b
"Forgive us, Abi," Norita interjected, truly at a loss for words to be forgiven by Abi and her family. After what they did to Jordi and for Jordi's safety. Norita feels very indebted. But, she realized that her child's married life couldn't be forced. "Sorry? Then what about my child's mental health? How will you take responsibility for it?" Abi asked, full of emotion and sarcasm. "What can we do to make up for everything?" Alexander looked resigned. It's up to Abi how he wants it. As long as he can do it, Alex and Norita will do anything to get forgiveness from Abi and his family. After all, they are good friends. "Are Jordi and Anita getting married?" Abi stated firmly. Meanwhile, his wife next to him said nothing. "It can't, Abi." "Why?" "Jordi ... marrying under duress is very bad." Not good for Anita either. "Your excuses are too many, Nori. Anita is very much in love with Jordi. She is even now sulking in her room after you said that Jordi has a child with that cheap wom
"Hmm ... later we will talk alone, Darling. They might be very angry because it seems like we are playing with their daughter." Alexander interrupted.Norita nodded."I am very sorry, dear. If only I hadn't been so stubborn back then. Surely five years ago we would have been happy with Luke too.""No one knows. Good or bad fate, we still have to go through it."Norita nodded slowly, agreeing with her husband's words."Tomorrow we are going back to Singapura. We need to talk to Abi and his wife."Alexander nodded his head.*Jordi and Alice's bridal suite"Wow ... the room is really huge." Alice was very impressed by the size of the room and the decorations in the hotel, which felt very luxurious."Of course. To nurture love, a cozy place is needed.""Ah, you always have something to say.""Let's take a shower first, so we feel fresh," suggested Jordi."You go first."Jordi has already taken off his tie and jacket. Only the shirt and pants are left to be taken off. Meanwhile, Alice, th
"I will take care of it. Tomorrow, you and Alice just go to the embassy to take care of your wedding. Uhm, but first, I will call the officiant so that you can have a religious marriage."Jordi smiled."Forgive us for being stubborn all this time."Jordi immediately hugged Alexander tightly."Thank you for changing your mind about Alice, Dad."Alexander nodded slowly."Where is mom?" Jordi looked around and didn't find Norita."Sleeping in the room with Luke. You mom is very tense and she is very afraid that Anita will hurt Luke.""Does that mean Alice is in the room with Mom?"Jordi's eyes widened."No problem. Your mother won't bite Alice.""It's not that she won't bite, I'm just afraid that she might intimidate Alice.""Your mother has changed. Don't worry. Fortunately, you and Alice have Luke, so your mother's heart has softened. Her priority now is Luke.""Alright, I believe you."Meanwhile, inside the room, Norita opened her eyes and saw Alice."Sorry. I didn't mean to disturb yo
"Why, Nori? You look very panicked," Alexander said as he stepped out of the room."Where is Luke?""Sleeping," Alexander replied briefly."Thank goodness." Norita could breathe a sigh of relief. Her grandchild was sleeping, so she could talk more easily with Alexander."What's really going on? From the room, I couldn't hear clearly what you were saying." Alexander was curious."Anita. She's gone crazy. What should I do?" Norita was so tense as she looked at her husband."Calm down. Don't panic just yet! Tell me what happened.""She was very angry because I supported Jordi and Alice's relationship.""Let's sit down first."Alexander then brought Norita to sit beside him. After they sat down, Alexander held Norita's hand tightly."Don't panic, Darling. All of this is because of us, and we really need to tidy up all the mess we've made.""But, I don't want our children and grandchildren to become victims later, Darling!"Norita's eyes looked very scared."Calm down. We have to resolve t
Meanwhile, Norita immediately called Alexander to watch over Luke. The woman had to talk to Anita and resolve all the chaos she had caused from the beginning."Why was that child told to go into the room? Are you afraid that I will hurt him?" Anita asked very sarcastically. Her gaze was so angry towards Norita as if Norita had now become her enemy. Not the future mother-in-law who always supported her in getting Jordi."It would be better if adult conversations were not heard by children," replied Norita, trying to stay calm.Anita smiled as if mocking Norita."Anita ... Luke is indeed Jordi's child," Norita interjected, trying to speak gently to the woman in front of her who looked emotional."How can you be sure, Auntie? Have you done a DNA test?" Anita asked as if trying to make Norita doubt Luke and Alice.Norita shook her head.Anita chuckled with satisfaction. According to her, there was a gap she could exploit to make Norita suspicious of Alice and immediately discard the idea
"Can I come in, Auntie?" asked Anita, her face already swollen."Y-yes. Come in."Norita invited Anita to enter her room. Actually, she thought Alice and Jordi were coming, but it turned out to be Anita."What's wrong, Nita? Sit down first."Anita nodded her head. The two women sat facing each other."Have you met Jordi yet, Aunt?" asked Anita, looking flustered."Yes""How is it, Aunt? Have you managed to convince Jordi to leave Alice?" Anita asked hopefully.Norita took a deep breath. Actually, she feels sorry for Anita who has been by Jordi's side for the past five years. Indeed, Norita admits, all of this is her fault. If she hadn't been so stubborn about separating Jordi from Alice, none of this would have happened."Aunt ... aunt, why are you silent?" Please answer me!"Sorry, Nita.""Sorry? What does Aunt's apology mean?""Jordi ... cannot be separated from Alice. Auntie cannot do anything." N
"Yeah, yo can just move in here. Later, buy a house near Alice's house. That way, you can come every day," suggested Jordi, which only confused Alice.Alice already knows that Norita is somewhat scary. Now Norita is even being asked to buy a house near her house? It could turn into a disaster later on."Alright then. Look for properties for sale near Alice's house. I am moving in with your dad.""And what about the company? Does that mean mom doesn't want to take care of it anymore? Are you no longer willing to take care of it?""Retired. I am better off with my grandchildren. But at first, I will still help. It's time for me and your dad to have fun without work, I just want to play with Luke. You take care of the company yourself."Jordi shook his head. Can't believe how Norita's attitude changed one hundred eighty degrees. It feels like just this morning she was saying that Luke wasn't Jordi's child, but now ... even Luke is being carried
"But ... not kidnapped, right? That's my child!" Jordi firmly warned Norita."Of course not. My handsome grandson like this, how could I kidnap him? Enough ... you take care of your own business. We just want to play with Luke. "Tonight, Luke will also sleep with me," Norita insisted."HAH!" Jordi was left speechless. Alice also became confused."Please bring Luke a change of clothes. We want to play with Luke. You want Luke, right?" replied Norita.Luke became confused. The child looked towards Alice to seek approval from his mother."Can I play with Grandma and Grandpa, Mom?"Alice was actually a bit confused. She was also afraid that Luke would be taken away by Norita and Alexander."Calm down. We won't take Luke away. We just want to play and be with Luke at the hotel. Is it okay, Alice?" Alexander tried to reassure his future daughter-in-law.Alice still looked confused."Tomorrow, just pick up Luke at the hotel. Tr
Alexander then came to Melbourne to meet Norita. But, he was more curious about his grandchild, who supposedly looked like Jordi when he was little.They went to the school where Luke was."That, dear. That's what they call Luke. Our grandchild," Norita remarked, very happy to see Luke even from a distance."His face looks very much like Jordi's.""Yes. I immediately recognized Luke as soon as I saw the child's face.""Do you want to hug him?""I really want to hug Luke. But ...""Why? Are you afraid that Jordi or Alice will get angry?"Norita nodded her head.Alexander took a deep breath."How about you just make peace with Jordi and Alice? We can help take care of Luke and maybe reduce our guilt for being too busy making money and neglecting Jordi when he was still a child.""Is that possible?" Norita seemed to have lost all hope."Of course, it can be done. But, you have to lower your ego. Don't forcefully try to separate Jordi from Alice. "Surely they will also relent if you stop
