"What are they for?" asked Jacob looking at the few people around the landing field of the helicopter that would take them to the island."Guarding you." Jaxter had prepared some people to look after Jacob and Ice. Of course, even though they had felt safe in this place, Jaxter never wanted to let his guard down. There were always people who wanted to harass them."Eh? I don't think that's necessary. I just want to be alone with my wife. We're safe anyway. They won't find us there, it's just a forest." Jacob who felt he was uncomfortable bringing 4 other men while there was only one wife on the island later. No! He was confident of her safety anyway."Better to be safe than sorry." Jaxter was adamant, but in that way."Still. No need Jax. I can handle it with Ice. It's hard to get there without this helicopter, isn't it? So yeah, no need. Just the two of us."Jaxter didn't say anything. He actually felt that Jacob's dismissive attitude didn't sit well with him. But no matter what, Ja
"No! It couldn't have been a squirrel or any other animal!" said Ice who felt very sure. How could an animal make a sound like that?Of course, his wife's rude and spontaneous movement immediately made Jacob, who was still very sleepy, wake up as well. He saw his wife who immediately used her clothes that were scattered on the floor. Despite being pregnant like that, Ice's movements looked agile."Ice I thinkPrak!A loud voice was heard again which immediately made Ice and Jacob look at each other. This time Jacob thought it was true. It was impossible for an animal to make such a sound. If it did, it would have to be as big as a bear.Jacob jumped up from his bed and immediately put on some clothes. He immediately pulled his wife out of their room. Sneaking around, they tried to confirm everything. It seemed to be safe, but after just a few steps, a loud voice as if they wanted to break in from the front door of the place was heard."We have to go out the back door!" Jacob said. The
"So that means she's probably still alive, right? If her body wasn't found, maybe she's still alive? Can that be?" asked Ice with a pained face. Her whole body was exhausted. With thinking, with this pregnancy. There was no longer the energy to rebel.Hayle paused for a moment then nodded doubtfully. Yes! There was actually a glimmer of hope that Jacob was still alive, even though he was afflicted by strange thoughts in him. It's just that, if Jacob is alive where did they take him? Then why didn't he come back?"Yes ...." Ice's voice was choked, her face like she had swallowed the most bitter thing, there was a difficult intake of breath, mixed with her unstoppable tears. "My husband is alive, I believe that."Hayle just nodded again and for who knows how many times in the two weeks after this incident, Hayle's tears drained again. "I really hope he's alive too." Hayle could feel the bitterness in Ice's heart. How could they go through something like this?"Hayle, I'm tired. I want t
"What's wrong with Ice?" asked Livvy frowning. A look at the window of Jaxter's house revealed Ice, staring at them with her pale, flat face. They all immediately accompanied their children to play on the beach in front of their house.Hayle took a deep breath. "Her husband, he had an accident and until now we haven't been able to find out where he is.""Really?" asked Livvy immediately closing her slightly open mouth in shock. "Sorry, I didn't know about that.""No problem Sis. She's also still very shocked and can't be with us." Hayle gave a faint smile."Auntie! Aunt Hayle! Auntie! Zave ate the sand!" one of Livvy's daughters approached her mother and aunt. Hayle couldn't yet tell which was Averly and which was Avelyn."Oh! Really?! Zave! Don't eat sand!" said Hayle who immediately approached her little son who was playing with sand. Livvy just stared at Ice who was still standing, unmoving, with a blank stare, even when Livvy threw a smile as her eyes headed towards Livvy. The wom
"Ziel! Rui!" Hayle tried to make her two daughters who she was laying side by side stare at her. But for babies who are not even 1 month old of course that can't happen, even their eyesight is not perfect yet.It's just that Hayle likes to look at her two babies who are actually very different, one looks very chubby one looks so skinny that her skin is sagging in wrinkles. But the love for both of them was really just as great."Madam, Madam Ice, she's here." One of the servants there immediately informed Hayle."Really?" Hayle immediately looked happy. She had been waiting for that woman for almost two weeks. Waiting for the repair of her wound which should take that long. She really wanted to visit Ice in the hospital, but her busy schedule to take care of her two daughters and Zave, not to mention her condition was still not too good made her not get permission from Jaxter. But the man made sure Ice was treated very well there."Yes ma'am.""Can you help me to see Ziel, I'll take
"Jaxter, we haven't been in touch for a while." Laurence seemed friendly enough to greet Jaxter who remained flat-faced. After months of not seeing this man, it turned out that nothing had changed about him except for his slightly blackened skin. "What is it that you want me to contact you יי?Laurence knew that there must be something that made this man need to contact him while he was in hiding. Although no one in his world believed Jaxter was being held by the CIA, they had no idea where he had gone either."There's something I need to set straight with you, Laurence." Jaxter said it quite orderly, the tapping of his fingers on the table showing that he was very serious."Please, how can I help you.""Jacob, Ice's husband, he was attacked by someone a few months ago and he hasn't been found yet." Jaxter straightened his body, getting closer to the screen that showed Laurence and Roberto's faces as their link. Laurence frowned, but he didn't want to say anything yet. "And, yesterday
"So you have to move?" Livvy asked with a face that didn't look sincere. She had just made a friend, but she didn't know they had to move.Hayle nodded, she didn't want to either. Livvy was even like her gentle sister. Moreover, Hayle is a person who is quite difficult to make friends."Ahk! Ziel and Rui, auntie just saw you two and you already have to move." Livvy looked very unwilling, carrying Ziel and Rui, fortunately she had twins."Are they twins?" The soft voice that rang out made Hayle and Livvy look at the elegant woman, her face radiating a beauty that couldn't be covered by the wrinkles on her face."Yes, Mother. They were just born." Livvy showed the two babies to her mother-in-law."Babies always look so cute." Irish tried to look at the two babies who looked quite different. "Looks like he ate all his mom's food in the womb, huh?" Irish stroked Ziel's cheek."Yes, they are not identical twins ma'am. "Hayle smiled slightly. Looks like she should focus on Rui, so that her
"Where is Mr. Jaxter now?" Roberto asked Kenny. He felt very worried because his master had never left without telling him where he was going. The thing was, they hadn't taken anyone from their group with them at all. And that never happened either."I don't know Mr. Roberto. I took care of his transfer to Germany. But after these two days, even our people in Germany haven't seen Mr. or Mrs. Roberto at all." Kenny was very worried."Really?" Roberto frowned. He was asking such a question when he himself knew that it was like that. None of the people he knew knew where his master was."Yes, sir. He also requested that his money be transferred to the intermediary bank."Roberto took a deep breath. He couldn't believe that he didn't want his master to be found by anyone and that they would resort to such a method. The money would still flow, but it would be untraceable because the bank would transfer the money to another account according to its schedule. Negotiating with the most inter
"How was it?" asked Hayle approaching her husband. Seeing Jacob only gave her a faint smile. Of course it made Hayle very curious. How did the man meet his wife.Actually Hayle really wanted to witness it. But, she had her own business to take care of Zave's lecture that she had promised a few weeks ago. Therefore, she could not cancel this."They just talked for a while." Jaxter answered his wife's curiosity."And then? What did they talk about? Did they talk about bringing Rui?" Hayle with a very curious face.There was actually one thing that made Hayle a little worried about all this. They were going to take Rui and keep the two of them apart. Because after all Hayle -she knew this was very selfish- had taken care of and loved Rui with all her heart."I don't know what they're talking about. I wasn't inside with them.""Ha?" Hayle wrinkled her forehead with an incredulous face. "Why aren't you even with them. I want to know what they're talking about." Hayle was really upset why e
"You put her in the Isolation room?" Jacob asked with a deep frown on his face."It's better to keep her from escaping. There are many things that will happen if she gets out of here. I don't think I need to explain, do I?" Jaxter seemed to just stare straight at the hallway that would lead them to a room that was quite secluded there.Jacob played with his lips. He slowly walked, fortunately Jaxter was understanding enough to match his pace."Thank you for hosting her here." Jacob lifted the corner of his lips before glancing at the man whose facial water had not even changed. "I know that you intentionally put her here for her own good too. You must know that her enemies are everywhere. Even my family is after her.""I just wanted to fulfill my wife's wish. To live in peace." Jaxter didn't seem to care what Jacob said. They stood in front of the steel door that was tightly closed."You can imprison him anywhere. Maybe underground, in a secluded place. You could have even just elimin
"Rui a lot of things happened before you were born. Both your adoptive family and your biological family. We may not be able to be like most parents. Our previous lives will leave you dumbfounded. But, you don't have to think about what happened before you were born. I just want to say, whatever ever happened to me, I will do it again as long as I can get a daughter like you." Jacob held the princess's hand very tightly. Staring at her hazel nets that looked so beautiful and drowning."I knew you would ask about what happened to your real mother." Jacob pursed his lips. He took a deep breath and grabbed something from the nightstand drawer beside his bed. That made him frown. "This is a picture of your mother. I don't want you to not know her."Jacob handed over the cell phone he took earlier. He asked Roberto to find any photos of Ice that might still exist. And, luckily, there was one of her when she was still undercover in Laurence's group.Rui took the cell phone in her father's ha
"Eh? You." Rui was startled when she came out of her father's hospital room and saw the figure of a man who seemed to be walking towards her place."Yes. I heard your father was taken to the hospital, is he okay?" asked Arzhiel who immediately came to this hospital when he heard the news."Yes. But he's fine, he just woke up." Rui smiled faintly at this man who could make her heart feel uneasy."So, why aren't you inside?" Arzhiel wrinkled his forehead. "Do you want to do something?""No, I didn't. Mrs. Hayle and Clay's father wanted me to go out for a moment. They want to talk to Jacob's father. So I'll just go out." Rui said it in a slightly mischievous tone. I don't know, it's hard to act casual in front of people we like."Oh, I see, so I can't go in there yet either." Arzhiel looked at the door of the room. "I saw this little cafe near the hospital garden. It's not far, want to wait there instead?"Rui hearing that was a little startled and raising her eyebrows, she nodded slowly
"Rui ...." Hayle stared at her daughter to which Rui immediately responded."Yes? Mom?" Rui showed a subtle streak on her face, following the question that fell from her lips."I know that Rui probably has many things to ask. But, is it okay if you, Mom, and Jacob's father talk first?" Hayle gently tried to give understanding to her daughter. She knew that it was not difficult to usually talk to this sweet girl.Rui pursed her lips and nodded for a moment. Although there were indeed a lot of questions in her head but Rui couldn't force herself to stay there. One of her principles said that it was better not to know what she shouldn't know. Or maybe not yet.Jacob smiled proudly at how the princess behaved. Although he was reluctant to release the delicate grip of his daughter. But it was something they had to do. The three of them stared at Rui's departure who soon disappeared behind the door of the infirmary."I'm glad you guys took care of her to become such a great girl. I don't th
The door slowly opened. Making all the hearts of the people outside the door beat faster.When Jacob saw the figure of a woman sitting at the end of a fairly narrow room, on an old-looking bed. Curled up as if frightened with her hair loose over her face.Jacob frowned, not really having any expectations about how the woman who was predicted to be his wife was doing."Ice." Hayle walked into the room. Leaving the two men who seemed to be still observing the situation inside Ice's hospital room.As usual, Hayle sat at the end of the bed closest to her. Always trying to communicate well with the woman who never even looked at her."I'm here again, but this time I'm not alone with my husband. Would you like to see who came with us?" Hayle said it as gently as possible. It was always like that if she was dealing with this woman because according to Hayle, that was how to treat someone like this Ice.But, even though Hayle had seduced the woman. Of course Ice didn't seem to understand what
"Good morning!" the cheerful, friendly voice filled the room where Hayle was on duty, if not the kitchen.The woman raised her eyebrows and smiled slightly. "Good afternoon, Jac.""Yes! Yes! No need to emphasize it. But it's early in Alaska. I guess it is." Jacob rubbed his face. He still looked sleepy."The time difference between here and there is only an hour Jac, so I guess it's already daytime in Alaska." Hayle shook her head. Even at this age, she still couldn't let go of her innocence."Yeah. Every now and then make me happy Hayle by just following what I say." Jacob made a little annoyed face at being corrected by this woman."Eat your breakfast, or actually brunch. After that take your medicine. You have to take it, right?" Hayle said. Yesterday she saw him taking his medicine after their warm dinner."Not really. It's just for pain relief. Yesterday's flight made my leg ache, so I took it. It's quiet, even though four bullets have gone through my body. I'm overall very healt
"Why did you say something like that earlier Jax?" asked Hayle who glanced at her husband as she rubbed lotion all over her body after she finished putting on her clothes after cleaning herself."About what?" Jaxter took off the shirt he was wearing one by one. After his wife it was time for him to take a shower."About Ice."Jaxter did not answer immediately. Tickling the curiosity and attention of Hayle who immediately tried to see what happened to her man's face."Do you still suspect that Ice might betray us again?" Hayle asked."There's no harm in being on guard. We already have the life we dreamed of all this time, I won't let a single person ruin it." Jaxter glanced at his wife with a rather sharp gaze. Making Hayle unable to say anything. In a life like the one they lived. Tranquility was a high price they had to pay with so many sacrifices before."So about when will you let us see him. I'm sure Jacob and Rui will want to see Ice." Hayle tried to be cooperative with her husba
"At first I can't remember anything, I woke up in a hospital bed in Hawaii. All I knew was that my whole body was in a lot of pain and I couldn't get out of bed at all. The doctor who treated me said that I had been in a coma for more than half a year." Jacob recounted what he experienced after what happened to him. Everyone in the house was silent, they were listening to what this man was saying. Even so, his hand continued to hold Rui's hand."Then when did you get your memories?" asked Arzhiel who was even more curious about this man's story. Moreover, what he knew was that this man was not in an accident as told by his parents. Instead, he was attacked by people they didn't know."It took a long time for me to remember. About 3 years after the incident, I had a serious memory disorder. I even forgot everything. And, suddenly I woke up with a terrible headache, then I remembered my name and some glimpses of my previous life.""At that moment you remembered Rui?" asked Hayle now who
