"Don't!" the woman's scream sounded very loud.

"You need to be taught a lesson so you won't fight anymore!" The man hit her.

"I won't do it again. Forgive me." The woman begged, kneeling at the feet of the man who was her husband.

"You need to be taught a lesson from time to time." The man didn't care that his wife was begging for forgiveness; he dragged her into the room.

"Teach her a lesson so she won't argue anymore!" the mother-in-law shouted, provoking him.

Her husband slammed the door, and dragged, and pushed the unfortunate woman, causing her to fall on the bed—the place where they used to make love and share warmth.

"I have told you several times not to steal in my house and to do as my mother tells you. But why are you doing it again?" he scolded.

"I am hungry. I haven't eaten all day."

"Don't lie to me! Didn't my mother feed you? Why did you steal the food prepared for my sister and nephew?" he asked, raising his voice.

"I wasn't given anything," the woman replied, trembling.

"I have already told you not to lie, and yet you do!" The man even took off his belt.

The man who lifted the belt was named Reynald Adrian, and the trembling woman was named Riana Anita. They have been married for 5 years but have not been able to have children. Therefore, Rey blames Riana for not getting pregnant. To make matters worse, Riana's mother-in-law Mayang, provokes her own son to hate she.

"Rey, come out quickly! Serly, and her baby have arrived."

"Just a moment, Mom."

"Don't bother with your useless wife, just meet your family who has come!"

"Alright." Reynald put his belt back on.

He drank a glass of water from the bedside table, and hurried out to meet his mother. Riana felt relieved, and went back to the corner of the room. She covered her face with her hands, and began to cry, lamenting her choices.

Reynald Adrian, a 25-year-old man, is handsome with a strong jawline, a sharp nose, and a height of 164 cm. He managed to make Riana fall deeply in love with him, even though she was admired by many men when she was young. Riana, who was beautiful, sweet, and innocent, made all the men go crazy for her. But she couldn't look at anyone but Reynald.

It turned out that her choice was very wrong. The handsome man had terrible qualities. He was temperamental, possessive, and extremely jealous. Just being greeted by another man would make him angry, and he would lock her in the house and not allow her to go anywhere alone.

"Riana Anita, come here!" Riana mother-in-law called from outside.

Riana quickly wiped away the tears that were streaming down her face. Then she went out to meet her mother-in-law.

"What's wrong, Mom?" she asked quietly.

"You're so comfortable lying around the room when you know that Rey's sister, and nephew have arrived!" her mother-in-law scolded.

"Forgive me, mom," she said, feeling dejected.

Riana didn't want to argue with her mother-in-law. She chose to give in rather than be the target of her husband's wrath later.

"Your wife is so useless. Just look at her emaciated body, like a walking skeleton," Serly sneered, chuckling softly.

"Yes, she is indeed a useless woman. I don't know why Rey still keeps her as his wife," Mayang scoffed.

"Riana, please prepare the food on the table!" Reynald ordered.

"Alright." Riana walked to the kitchen.

Occasionally, the woman looked back at her husband, who was carrying Serly's child. She felt jealousy in her heart toward her husband's cousin—yes, that's right—Serly is Reynald's cousin. Sally was a wonderful woman, and Riana felt insecure around she.

Serly was not a widow; she had a child without a husband. She got pregnant out of wedlock because she was too free in her social life. The woman went in, and out of nightclubs, and changed partners frequently.

"Lunch is ready," Riana said.

"Come on, Ser, let's eat first." Mayang took Serly's hand lovingly, and led her to the dining table.

Riana watched with a bitter smile. In all her time as a daughter-in-law in this house, she had never been treated like Serly. Even though her had always done as she was told and had never resisted, she had never received any treatment or a smile.

"Rey, I haven't eaten yet," Riana held onto her husband's sleeve as he approached the two women at the dining table.

"You can eat later. Please take care of Leo for a moment. His mother wants to eat, and you might disturb her," Reynald said, handing the four-month-old baby to Riana.

Riana accepted him slowly, although her body shook since she hadn't put anything into her stomach. When she had taken a small portion of food for herself earlier, Mayang had thrown it on the floor. She only complained to Reynald about Riana's behavior and stole a plate of rice and a small portion of a side dish for breakfast.

"Rey, come look over here," Serly said.

"What?" Reynald asked.

"Try it!" Serly pushed a spoonful of food into Reynald's mouth.

"I can eat by myself, Ser," Reynald refused.

"Just once," Serly whined playfully.

Reynald remained unmoved, ignoring his younger cousin's pleas.

"Are you disgusted with me? Because I've been with many men," Serly lowered the spoon, still aimed at Reynald.

"It's not like that," Reynald defended.

"Then what is it?" Serly asked, her eyes welling up.

"Come on, Rey. Just this once," Mayang ordered.

Reynald sighed heavily and looked at Riana, who was still faithfully watching over Leo. The woman pretended not to see or hear the conversation at the dining table.

"All right, just one bite," Reynald said.

Serly was pleased to hear that Reynald was willing to accept the spoonful she offered. She aimed her spoon lovingly at her cousin.

"That's it," Mayang said happily.

Meanwhile, Riana turned her face away, silently shedding tears at the sight.

"Eat well," Serly offered Reynald several side dishes.

"Yes," Reynald accepted Serly's offer.

"Isn't Riana the one who cooked?" Reynald asked.

"Riana? She didn't help me at all, in fact she ate it several times after cooking!" grumbled Mayang.

Reynald looked at Riana, who immediately looked in his direction when she heard her mother-in-law's accusation. The unfortunate woman shook her head, indicating that the accusation was untrue.

Suddenly, Serly burped, having overeaten of the food. "I'm so full," Serly said.

"Indeed, Mom cooking is incomparable, isn't it?" Mayang asked, seeking praise.

"Of course, Auntie," Serly snuggled affectionately into her aunt's arm.

"And your parents? Are they doing well?" Mayang asked.

"They're fine, they're busy working on some projects in London," Serly replied nonchalantly.

"London! Tell them to bring me souvenirs, I also want to sell something in London," Mayang demanded.

"Of course, I'll tell my mother later," Serly said casually.

"You really are the best niece, Aunt. Unlike the children of your other siblings," Mayang complained.

"Of course, aunt," Serly said.

"If Rey hadn't married, you would have been my daughter-in-law," Mayang hoped.

"I wouldn't mind being the second wife, Aunt," Serly winked at Reynald, sitting in his chair.

"Too bad this woman would never agree to a polygamous marriage. If only Rey would divorce Riana. Then you two could marry."

Reynald ignored the conversation between his mother, and his cousin. He decided to approach Leo, who was under Riana's care. Riana had been silent since the two women of different ages had spoken at the dining table.

Riana could still hear the conversation in her ears as she sat close to where her was looking after Leo. The baby couldn't be too far from his mother; Leo would cry if he didn't see his mother's face for too long.

    "Eat! You said earlier that you haven't eaten yet, right?" Reynald ordered.Riana handed the baby to Reynald, and the man immediately took it gently. In truth, Riana's husband was a good man, but his mother always made him hate her.Riana walked over to the dining table, and noticed several dirty plates that no one had bothered to clean. This made her sigh deeply."I'll just eat first, and then clean all this up," Riana thought.Riana smiled as she opened the lid to look for the food her had cooked earlier, assuming there would still be leftovers because her husband had told she to eat. Disappointment! That's what she felt when she opened the lid and found nothing. Just a few dirty plates with not even a little bit of leftover food visible.Riana walked over to her silent husband with her head down. "There's not a single side dish for me to eat," Riana said sadly."Maybe Serly finished it earlier because she was very voracious," Reynald said nonchalantly."I haven't eaten anything," Ri

    "Every time she comes to this house, Mom always tells me to cook a lot of food. But she's not important enough to be treated to a feast every time she comes here. I'm not even allowed to have a bite, even though a woman like her doesn't deserve it," Riana pointed at Serly's face with emotion."Riana, don't you dare-" Mayang's cut her off."What? Don't you dare try to fight against all of you, is that what you mean, mom? I'm tired of being treated like this all the time. If I resist even a little, my whole body will be covered in bruises. So go ahead and hit me if you dare!"Everyone was silent, even the baby, listening to Riana's anger. After realizing that no one would react to her words, Riana decided to go to her room to change the wet clothes, which her mother-in-law had drenched her with."Rey, your wife is so bold with mother. Can't you see it?" Mayang's clung to her son, trying to defend him."Yes, Rey. She even called me someone who got pregnant out of wedlock. I'm so upset rig

    Reynald called the waiter to pay for all the food he had ordered.He was furious, and embarrassed when he heard Chiko's remarks about his wife's faded clothes.Not like the wives of most high-ranking company executives?!"Tsk!" Reynald clucked his tongue in frustration.The man still hadn't realized he was at fault here.Riana should have been given a monthly allowance to buy whatever she wanted. But what did he do instead?Reynald grabbed Riana's arm, ignoring all the eyes watching them.All he could think about was getting home quickly and scolding Riana for embarrassing him.The sound of the door being kicked drew the attention of Mayang's, who looked at Reynald with a curious expression."What is it, Rey?" she asked."It's Riana, she just embarrassed me," Reynald replied intensely."How did she embarrass you? And where do you come from?" Mayang's asked again, glancing at Riana, who stood frozen."She deliberately ate with me in shabby clothes, and let me be humiliated by my colleag

    "Why? Did Riana want you to hate your own mother?" asked Mayang sadly. "No. I'm just annoyed that every day there's a problem in this house. Can't it be peaceful like the other houses?" "You know yourself, Rey? If Riana were a daughter-in-law, she wouldn't serve her mother-in-law so badly. In fact, she made a juice for me earlier that tasted really bad and I couldn't help but scold her," Mayang explained. "Of course, the juice didn't taste good. It's because she didn't use sugar, so it's not good!" Reynald stormed into his room, and slammed the door loudly, startling Riana in the kitchen. He lay down on the bed, and sent a message to Diandra. [Have you arrived?] Reynald texted. [Yes, have you?] Diandra replied. [Yes, I have. I arrived home safely]. [Then, after you arrived, you messaged me? How romantic.] Diandra added a love sticker to her message, which made Reynald even happier with the beautiful woman. "What a nuisance! It would be better if you were my wife, then my day w

    "Yes, mom. I'll clean it up immediately after eating," Riana replied.As Riana stepped closer to the dining table, she found no side dishes or vegetables there. Everything she had cooked was gone, causing her to shake her head softly."It's a good thing Rey didn't bring lunch, so I can eat," Riana said to herself while tightly hugging the lunch box in her hands.There was indeed a feeling of disappointment in her heart, but Riana didn't want to think too far. Because according to her, thinking about it is not good for oneself, so as much as possible she restrained herself so that it would not become a burden of thought that would make her think badly.Riana ate with gusto, she really liked the food menu this morning. Because, every time after Serly came Mayang would buy delicious side dishes, and vegetables in large quantities, so when she cooked them yesterday, there were still leftovers for breakfast this morning. When else would the woman eat well, usually every day she would eat si

    Mayang shook her head dramatically, as if being a very wise mother-in-law."How could I. I've told him several times that Riana is not a good woman to be his wife. But he still insists," Mayang said with a sad expression again."Maybe it's because of your son. He's in love with his wife, so it's natural for him to be like that. What's more I see that Riana is very beautiful," Desi said."Not really. You don't see Riana anymore, Desi. I passed by Mayang's house yesterday, Riana was very different from when I first got married. Ugly, shabby and neglected," mocked Santi."Really, Santi?" asked Desi incredulously."Yes, obviously. Try asking Mayang, did I lie to you, right?" Santi nudged Mayang's arm lightly.Mayang who had just drunk her juice, immediately choked, in surprise. "Of course. Riana is not good at taking care of herself, what's more she is very wasteful, every money Reynald gives her always runs out," Mayang said, starting to demonize her daugter-in-law."Well, be patient, May

    "Only? It's a good job but, you're a beautiful person so modeling is the right thing to do," said Reynald, amazed by Diandra's work."Thank you, Reynald. You're a good person, I really like you," said Diandra smiling sweetly."Like me?"Reynald's heart skipped a beat when he saw Diandra nodding. Her charm never wore off! Unfortunately, he was stuck with Riana because his was caught up in the passion of youth.'Should I divorce Riana?' Reynald thought, 'after all, Diandra is a thousand times more attractive than her!'**"Riana!" Mayang called out from the room."Yes, Mom." Riana hurriedly ran over to her mother-in-law."Buy mom some chicken soup out front, don't take too long!" Mayang handed her a blue bill."Yes, mom." Riana quickly walked to her room, put on her instant headscarf, and jacket, and grabbed her motorcycle keys.The motorcycle that had been there before Riana got married, the motorcycle accompanied her everywhere she went as a girl.

    Riana felt that the soup she ate was so good, her even finished the soup until there was nothing left. After eating it all, she burped because she felt full."Alhamdulillah, it was delicious," said Riana in gratitude.Riana began to think about what to have for dinner tonight, she couldn't possibly serve her husband or mother-in-laws an omelette. However, as soon as she remembered that she still had a lot of change from the soup, Riana would say that she wanted to buy a side dish for dinner with this money. Otherwise, her mothet-in-laws would call her presumptuous."Mom!" Riana called out to her mother-in-law in a loud voice at the door."Um," Mayang mumbled in response, too lazy to answer because she was on the phone with someone."I'll use your money, okay? I'll buy some side dishes, and vegetables for dinner tonight," Riana said."Yes."Mayang didn't hear her clearly, she just answered 'yes'. Because she didn't want to hear any more of Riana's babbling.As for Riana, she cheered up

    Time has flown by. Mayang has a hard time speaking, and walking now because she stroke paralyzed the right half of her body. She's having a hard time doing things on her own these days. The woman needs help with everything, from eating to using the bathroom."I got married to live well, not like this!" Diandra grumbled.Diandra's been on a rant all day, and Reynald's had it."Shut up! It's also because of you that my life has become unlucky!" Reynald blamed Diandra for his own mistakes, his usual way of deflecting responsibility."Ugh! You're the corrupt one, why am I the one to blame?" Diandra glared at her husband."Yes, because I'm married to you, everything is messed up! It's different when you're with Riana, especially since you know your husband doesn't work, and still goes shopping, so all the money you have left is gone to pay your debts. Now you have to look in the trash for food!" Reynald was furious at the thought."It's your own fault for being corrupt, and incompetent as a

    Wira was relieved. Now that Riana had a family to protect, Wira was going to start the plan today, but he had to go to work first so his father wouldn't be suspicious of him.Wira decided to go to his office to see if he could talk to Lia. He wanted to know if she had taken him or not. However, when he was there for half a day, he couldn't find her anywhere, leaving him wondering where she was."Two cleaning services were fired yesterday," one of the women in the corner said.Women love to gossip. They gossip anywhere, and at any time, as long as they have friends to gossip with. This was helpful for Wira because if he asked one of the workers here, him felt that he would be reported to Subroto. Now, the man wanted to avoid Subroto knowing what he had done."Yes, I'm also confused as to why she was fired. The other guy is clear—her was accused of stealing. This guy isn't. She name was Lia, I think."The more convinced Wira was of what happened, the more he thought that Lia was delibera

    "Mutia, get two drinks over here!" Riana looked at Mutia just before she brought Wira into her room office."Okay!" Mutia replied.After hearing Mutia's answer, Riana quickly stepped into her room office, which was inside the restaurant. Her uncle's room was now her own. Riana told the man to sit on the couch, then she took a seat across from Wira because it felt wrong to sit next to the man. They were alone now, and it didn't feel good to be close to a man who wasn't her husband."I'm sorry, I didn't defend you yesterday. It was all because my father threatened that if I did, you would be put in prison, and there he would make you disappear without a trace. He really would do it if I didn't comply. I'm afraid of losing you!" Wira said this with a pleading face, and Riana believed him."Do you believe what your father said? I was the one who stole the folder, and I didn't even know that it was a big project that you guys were going to participate in!" Riana emphasized every sentence sh

    Desi didn't know where Riana was going because her had nowhere else to go. When she was kicked out of Reynald's house, Riana didn't know where her was going."You already know, there is evidence, and witnesses who say that she was the one who stole it. Even Wira, and I found the folder in her room!" Subroto wanted Desi to believe his words so that his wife would hate the woman named Riana."I've asked you before, why did she steal the folder? If I were her, I'd rather steal the gold, money, or valuables in this house!" Desi emphasized once again that Riana was not the thief."Maybe, she knows the folder is valuable, and wants to sell it to a company that competes with us," Subroto said, not wanting to give up on convincing Desi.Desi remained silent, not wanting to argue with Subroto about Riana. Subroto was a stubborn man, so it would be impossible to convince him otherwise. Desi felt like someone wanted to ruin Riana's reputation, but who? Why would someone accuse a good woman like

    "Uncle, doesn't need to do it. Let's just drop the matter!" Riana didn't want her uncle to get revenge for what those people had done to her."They've been mean to you, so I'll take care of it. You just need to watch, and don't get involved!" Edo was furious with all those people; he wanted to teach them a lesson.Although Edo, Subroto, the owner of a large, and well-known company, had some reservations, he was determined to get justice for them."It's okay! I've tried to be sincere with what they did. I don't want to hurt Wira's father. Desi's aunt, his wife, has been very kind to me, and Wira has too." Riana didn't finish her sentence."Does Miss Riana like Wira? Sorry if I'm interrupting this conversation!" Mutia guessed that she had been watching Riana.Riana smiled at Mutia, and nodded her head. That was the only response she gave now because when talking about Wira, her felt sad. The woman had just been in a relationship, and it had to end like this. Riana wanted to take their r

    "Yes. This restaurant is now yours, as you are the rightful heir! Oh, and by the way, introduce me as Mutia, the manager of this restaurant." Mutia extended her hand, introducing herself to she new boss.Riana accepted her hand without saying anything, still thinking about what had just happened. She was still surprised that her parents owned such a fancy, and big restaurant. Was it true that her parents owned this place? Riana still didn't believe it, thinking it was all a dream."Miss Riana?" Mutia touched Riana softly because she had been talking to her but there was no response."Uh, y-yes!" Riana stammered, surprised that she had been daydreaming."Would you like to take a tour of the restaurant?" Mutia asked, offering to show her around.Actually, sir Edo had told Mutia to take Riana around, and introduce her to the other subordinates."That's fine. But where do I put my stuff?" Riana asked, embarrassed to bring in her shabby-looking bag. Her hands hurt from carrying the bag."O

    "But, there is proof, and witnesses who say that it was Riana who stole with Kiki," said Subroto, not wanting to say who the witnesses were."I don't believe that, Pa! How could Riana have stolen it, and why would she do that?" Desi said in a high tone that she didn't accept her husband accusing Riana of being a good woman."We have witnesses, and evidence. We found this folder in Riana's room. It was tucked under her clothes." Subroto took the folder from behind his back, and showed Desi that Riana really was he said his was.Riana knew that Subroto didn't like her, and from what she had learned at Reynald's house, it was pointless to defend herself. The man would probably insist that he was the one who stole the folder, even though there was evidence, witnesses, and the discovery of a folder that had never been seen before.Subroto was responsible for the folder's disappearance. While Wira was working in the office, he interrogated Lia in another room. Wira used footage from his sub

    "What do you mean?" asked Wira, not understanding."You don't understand, Mr? Everyone changes over time, just like the Riana you used to know. So, now she's not the same person you used to know, but a different person," Reynald explained."Yes, you're right, people do change!" said Subroto, agreeing with Reynald, and the female employees who were still there nodded their heads in agreement."But I'm pretty sure that Riana hasn't changed!" Wira argued, stammering."Wira, you can't reject all of Riana's changes! What her ex-husband said is true because he was her husband, and lived with her for five years. Only a husband knows the good, and bad in his wife, and vice versa." Subroto patted Wira's shoulder, trying to get the man to realize what Reynald had told them.Wira didn't say anything else because he thought it was useless to disagree with everything Reynald said. Everyone already believed what Riana's ex-husband said. So it was useless for him to say that Reynald was lying.At th

    "I know you took the red folder! If not you, who else could it have been? You look the most suspicious these days!" Kiki pointed at Lia's face. She knew that Lia was the one who took the folder."Why did I take the folder?" Lia asked, trying to stop Kiki from blaming her."I don't know! Only you know that, or maybe you want to bring Riana down because you hate her so much. I don't know what she did wrong to you, so you hate that good woman!" Kiki glared at her, eyes red with anger. She wanted to attack the woman, but she felt weak."So what if I took it? Yes, I took the folder! What are you going to tell them? How could they believe you?" Lia walked away from Kiki, annoyed.Kiki hurriedly gathered her things, and left, wanting to go home immediately to tell her family that she had been fired from work. The woman didn't want to tell her family, but she had to tell her mother everything. But her father would scold Kiki if she was caught stealing because he didn't trust her, only her mot
