Author's POV "Honey, never mind. It's okay," said Fransisca in a very gentle voice, trying to ease the tension in the atmosphere. However, behind her smile, Fransisca felt deep devastation and hurt. What is missing in Mrs. Katty's eyes? Just because Fransisca came from a simple family, her mother-in-law said such hurtful words to her. Fransisca couldn't imagine how much pain she felt at that moment. Mr. Raymond's family is indeed very prominent in this city. They have a strong reputation and are respected by many people. Anyone would want to be Mr. Raymond's life partner. Moreover, he possessed extraordinary wealth, which many people in this city could not imagine. His life is always comfortable and abundant, without ever experiencing shortages or difficulties like those experienced by people in remote areas. Mrs. Katty is the wife of an entrepreneur in the palm oil plantation sector. The plantation used to belong to Mr. Raymond's father, but unfortunately, Mr. Raymond's
Fransisca's POV After saying the words that were difficult to say, I fell silent, letting the decision I had made sink into my mind. Even though there are doubts and anxieties that haunt me, I remain confident that the decision to live with Mrs. Katty is the best for us. Mr. Raymond is aware of this and strives to ensure that this decision will bring us happiness or vice versa. "Don't worry, I'm sure that with time, Mrs. Katty will accept my presence and your younger siblings too," I said with strong confidence. I tried to convince Mr. Raymond that despite the initial challenges and discomfort, we could build a good relationship with Mrs Katty and her younger siblings. Mr. Raymond had asked the same question many times, seeking confirmation of this decision. However, Mr. Raymond still doubted my decision. He expressed his doubts with words that made me think again. "Are you serious, Honey? If you have any doubts, maybe it's better if we stay in the apartment," he said in a c
Raymond's POV The argument that occurred between my mother and I broke my heart. I felt like I was trapped in cruel shackles, torn between defending the person I loved most and loving my own mother. This woman I love has succeeded in making me fall in love with her, fascinated by her intelligence and extraordinary beauty. However, my mother actually didn't like the woman I had chosen. I don't know the exact reason behind her disagreement. However, I had fallen so deeply into this love, and every time I was with her, I felt seduced by her undeniable charm. I don't mean anything bad by always defending her, but what I know is that my mother has done cruel things to my wife. I felt trapped in a complicated and emotionally conflicted situation. I love my mother as my mother, but I also love this woman with all my heart. I hope there is a way to bridge this gap, to seek understanding and agreement between us all. In my heart, I hope that my mother can see how much I love this w
Mrs. Katty’s POV After learning that Fransisca, a woman who came from a humble background, was now married to my son, feelings of annoyance and disappointment came to my heart. Moreover, I realized that she was not equal to my family who had a higher social status and wealth. I felt angry, of course. All the initial plans that I had planned carefully and full of hope have now just disappeared as if they had been erased from my life. I always hope that Raymond, my son, will be with the woman of my choice. A woman who is equal to my family, both in terms of wealth and social status. However, unfortunately, I have tried many times to bring the two of them closer, but Raymond always firmly refused. He has a different view and prefers to live according to his own wishes. Finally, he left and settled in this simple apartment, where he met Fransisca. When I heard the news that Raymond was going to marry Fransisca, the anger inside me increased even more. I felt insulted and did n
Fransisca's POV One month has passed since the argument. I still felt mixed feelings of disappointment and regret in my heart. However, there is something else that has been bothering me in the last few days. My stomach feels nauseous, and this is the third day I have felt this unusual nauseous sensation. In fact, I couldn't go to the office because my body felt so weak, and had no energy. When I woke up this morning, my head felt very dizzy. It felt as if something was swirling inside it. I felt confused and couldn't speak clearly. Luckily, Mr. Raymond understood my condition and told me to just rest. He promised to come home early from work to take me to the hospital this afternoon. While waiting for Raymond to arrive, I decided to lie down on my comfortable bed. My body felt tired and slowly my head began to feel relieved, the dizziness that had been so annoying had begun to subside. However, my stomach continued to feel nauseous and uncomfortable. I closed my eyes
Raymond's POV After a long day at the office, my body feels very tired and needs rest. With tired steps, I opened the door of the house and entered the living room. Usually, Fransisca always welcomes me with a sweet smile every time I come home. However, this time, I didn't see her there. I felt a little confused and wondered where She was. In an effort to think positively, I tried to comfort myself by thinking that perhaps Fransisca felt very tired because of the fetus growing in her stomach. I hope She is resting comfortably at home. I stepped further into the house. It felt so quiet and empty as if no one lived here. However, when I headed towards my room, I saw something that made my heart melt. On my comfortable bed, Fransisca was fast asleep. Her face was so calm and peaceful as She fell asleep. I felt so happy to see her sleeping comfortably there. I didn't dare disturb h
Fransisca's POV After I resigned from work I felt very tired. Not to mention I was pregnant and experienced symptoms of morning sickness ranging from nausea, dizziness, and various other things I experienced. But my mother-in-law actually told me to do household chores that could have been done by a household assistant. After Raymond left for work, that's when my working hours started. Starting from washing clothes for all family members, washing dishes, cooking, sweeping, and mopping. Meanwhile, the helpers in this house just keep quiet and supervise my work. I got really tired. But my mother-in-law threatened me if I complained about this to Raymond. As the head of the family and the backbone of this family. So I have to understand that. Even if I lived in a rented house it wouldn't be a problem. But because of my pregnancy problems, I can't work in the office, but I work as a helper here. Not to
Raymond's POV I'm actually lazy about the noise in my house. I was just silent when Fransisca decided to leave my house after I shouted at her because my mother said Fransisca was a lazy woman. Even though I also don't want Fransisca to go. But instead of getting emotional and doing something bad, I just kept quiet. "Look at your wife! Leaving without saying goodbye is that what you call a good wife?” My mother still gives me understanding. I don't know who I should trust, it's clear that I'm not currently with my wife. Ah, I just remembered what Fransisca said that I needed to see the CCTV. I went to the special CCTV room. I looked at the recordings for the past week. I will definitely get answers to my doubts. Damn, how come it's been broken for a month and doesn't record anything in this house? As far as I remember, two weeks ago, when I forgot to put my car keys, I c
