Veronica's POV "Why are you defending her instead of me, your mother!" Alexander's mother snapped. I just kept quiet. Watch this debate. "You must have poisoned my child! That he dares to argue like this!" girder her. I remained silent, not expecting what she said. Then I looked at Alexander's mother with an annoyed look. Sometimes she would say something like that to me. "I-I never did anything to Alexander, ma'am." "Stop! Don't call me mom! I'm not your mom!" He jerked again. I fell silent. "You can't be like that with Veronica, you have to respect me for loving her," said Alexander. I smiled, feeling lulled by his words. I took Alexander's arm and clung to it. Showing a normal face. "Hey, you're getting away from my son!" Alexander's mother said. I just obeyed her, too lazy to argue with her, especially since Alexander was here. He will definitely defend me. "Mom! It can't be like that!" Alexander said in a curt tone. "Are you scolding me?" she asked which made Alexand
Francisca's POVI'm embarrassed. Really, her lover Mr. Alexander is very cruel. She embarrassed me in front of everyone.My eyes have been teary since earlier. Bowing my head no longer has any meaning. Even though it didn't happen like that.Earlier, I intended to come here to meet clients from companies who wanted to collaborate. However, when Mr. Alexander had arrived, suddenly their secretary called and said, "Sorry sir, we can't come there because there is a problem here."Mr. Alexander just said, "It's okay, ma'am, we can do it another time."After saying that, they immediately ended the call. I looked at Mr. Alexander and immediately asked, "Sir. Isn't this going to be the
Alexander's POV "Okay," said Fransisca. That woman can really be conquered by money. Then I smiled with satisfaction hearing that. Smiling a little as if belittling her. However, it seemed that the woman didn't understand anything about me. "Can you come closer to me?" I asked her. I thought she would reject it. However, apparently not. Instead, Fransisca nodded and immediately came closer to me. She stood next to me and immediately said, "What's wrong, sir?". "Nothing," I said simply. I pulled her arm to sit on my lap. I caressed Fransisca's face. It turns out that up close like this, her face is very beautiful. Fransisca really didn't refuse. She just kept quiet when she received such treatment. I smiled faintly. "Can I find my schedule?" I asked and she immediately nodded. She took a small tablet that I had given her at that time. Fransisca started looking for my meeting schedule very carefully. I just looked at her face which looked very beautiful but, unfortunately, it w
Veronica's POV Now in the room, I am still faithfully sitting on the edge of the bed. I've been feeling restless and strange ever since. I looked out the window several times, but there was no sign of him coming. Tried calling him. However, repeatedly there was no answer. I became worried, he should have come home or told me but, this time it felt different. "Where is Alexander? Why isn't he answering my calls," I said worriedly. Try to stay calm and call him again. But, again and again, there was no answer. Worry is increasingly haunting my mind. I started walking restlessly around the room, thinking about the worst that could happen. My cell phone still doesn't get an answer from Alexander. There is a great sense of uncertainty. "Gosh, where is he?" Finally, I decided to contact several friends and business colleagues who might know the whereabouts of Alexander. However, the results were still nil. Nobody knows where he is. The uncertainty is getting worse, and anxiety is c
Fransisca's POVI've been home since last night. This body is so tiring. When I came home, my thoughts were on my mother. Then I went into the house. However, it looks quiet and still, even the lights in my house feel dark.I'm worried about seeing it. By running, I opened the door aimlessly. However, the locked door made me panic even more.Glancing here and there, however, there was no one in the house. Then my eyes accidentally caught the silhouette of white paper perched on my window glass.My house is not as big as the others, however, if people come. Surely they won't want to leave my house.Approach the paper. I take it slowly. There was a key to my house and also a writing.For Fransisc
Alexander's POV"A week ago I really didn't have time to contact you because of my urgent schedule. I thought when I got there I would contact you. But my cell phone was dead after I charged it and there was really no signal. I'm really sorry. Do you forgive me Honey?" explained me.I said that while smiling meaningfully at her. Give a convincing smile so that she really believes in herself.My feeling tells me that she will definitely say so and just be sure. It's so easy to make the woman I like like me and forgive me easily.Plaque… The sound of the slap was so loud. My cheeks felt sore, I looked at my lover in disbelief. Groaning in pain because the pain is excruciating.&nb
Fransisca's POV I felt very uncomfortable after what happened this afternoon and at the same time felt dizzy seeing the dispute between Mr. Alexander and Miss Veronica were prompted by a lunch invitation. However, I remained in the secretary's room, carrying out my duties carefully and thoroughly. Even though his work sometimes makes me feel sick, I will remain loyal to completing his obligations. Suddenly, a coworker came into my secretary's room. "Fransisca, are you busy?" he asked. "Yes, I'm checking the files," I answered as friendly as I could. "Please help me. I'm really confused about the expenses and financial administration that I have to take care of," asked my friend. Then I enthusiastically immediately complied with my friend's request, ready to help in whatever matter was needed. Besides, I could finish this work any time and I'm sick of looking and revising. "But, wouldn't it be okay if you left all your files for me?" Ask my friend, her name is Leoni. I immed
Fransisca's POV"Mr. Alexander, what are we doing here?" I asked anxiously.I, who was increasingly anxious, asked Mr. Alexander about their goals. However, he only got silence as an answer. Suddenly, Mr. Alexander got out of the car, making Fransisca get out too without knowing what was happening.Looking at Mr. Alexander gloomy and exhausted, I felt sorry for him. A dispute with his girlfriend seems to have turned him into a complete mess. However, without providing any explanation, Mr. Alexander grabbed my hand again and took me to a nightclub.The first time I saw this, I was so shocked because this was the first time I had set foot into a nightclub. When I entered the club, I was greeted by an atmosphere that was so different from what I was used to. Men with chubby noses were dancing in front of me with a woman, and
Fransisca's POV One year passed. All the sadness has begun to fade. I also take turns staying at my house and my mother-in-law's house. Today Riana graduated. Of course, Raymond, Bobby, and Tissa came to congratulate me as representatives of her family. Bobby is also getting bigger. Likewise with Tissa. After Nadya officially gave Tissa to me, I already had full power of attorney This time I also saw that Riana had become a graduate. This is quite a proud achievement for her and us as her family too. We are proud of Riana because she has also fought well all this time. I also brought a bouquet for her as a congratulation. After the graduation procession was finished, we met Riana. Bobby gave the bouquet of flowers to his aunt. "Thank you, darling," said Riana. "You're welcome, Aunt Riana." Bobby has talked a lot. I am also proud of him because he has learned a lot. He can also be an older brother to Tissa and doesn't seem to want to see Tissa fall. He becomes a bro
Raymond's POV I finally got to see Nichole helpless and then taken to the police station. I also asked the police to arrest Mr. Raul. I also don't know where he is. I hope Mr. Raul has also been arrested. "Wow, great stiffness, sir. If I were you, I wouldn't be able to do it. Moreover, the knife almost stuck in your chest," praised the auditor. "Ah, when we are in trouble we should be prepared for all risks, sir. Don't worry!” Because my business was finished, the auditor went home. I escorted him home and made sure he was safe. I went to the police station and couldn't wait to see Nichole in prison with Mr. Raul. Two people who betrayed me and almost destroyed my company. This time I was in front of the police station. I've also seen Nichole and Mr. Raul who were temporarily imprisoned at the police station before they were questioned. I saw them both. That's how they saw me too. “Hey, let me go!” shouted Mr. Raul. "Don't you know that you will go to prison be
Raymond's POV When Nadya came to the house and said she would help me, I was quite surprised. It turns out Mr. Raul has collaborated with Nadya. It's just that Nadya is no longer like she used to be. She has changed. "Okay then. Thank you for wanting to help me," I answered. "You're welcome. Can I see Tissa?” Nadya replied. "Of course. She's still sleeping at this hour. You can see her in my room. Because at night she always sleeps with me," answered Fransisca. "Can you take me to your room?" Nadya asked again. "Well, of course," answered Fransisca. After meeting Tissa, Nadya then invited me to discuss. As Her said yesterday, I also have to make Mr. Raul and Nichole feel tired because they had tried to stab me in the back. Nadya is quite good at this job. I also felt very helped by this. * The next day Nadya and Mr. Raul will meet to carry out further cooperation. I was asked to come along so I could keep an eye on him. Fransisca is also no longer jealous of
Fransisca's POV I'm quite worried about Raymond's condition as he continues to be under pressure from his work. Because he seems to be walking alone. I also can't help him directly. I only helped Riana when ordered by Raymond while I was doing assignments. For a month, Raymond was always worried about his unfinished work. He needs investors to redevelop his company. Moreover, there were enough employee layoffs to stabilize the company. Although actually, it doesn't really matter. It's just that his company can no longer pay its employees so the best step is for him to fire many of his employees. If only I were one of his employees. I come from a village and then applied for a job in the city and was accepted, which was a matter of pride for me. Moreover, I can also support myself and my mother. But when I have to be fired because of company interests, I will of course be disappointed. But right now there is no oth
Raymond's POV I've been struggling with my problem for a month but haven't gotten the best results. I also followed Fransisca's advice not to trust anyone, including Nichole, someone I have trusted for a long time. But my company's problems are getting worse. I also have to face that I can't pay my employees because my company's profits are decreasing. I'm getting more and more dizzy. Employees must also receive their salaries. “Sir, what about the employees who have to receive their salaries?” asked my secretary. Of course, she was also stressed because she kept asking questions from the finance department. "Well, I'll talk directly to the head of the finance department later." I immediately met the head of the finance department. "How is it, sir?" asked Mr. Hans. "Well, you already know that our company is experiencing problems, right? Suddenly investors withdrew their
Fransisca's POV I heard that Raymond had fainted in his office. I was really shocked. I immediately took Bobby to the hospital while I left Tissa with a babysitter. According to Nichole, Raymond fainted when he was coming home from work. I'm sure that Raymond is tired and might be late eating. Arriving at the hospital I saw that Raymond was still unconscious. After waiting for a long time, I could see that Raymond had regained consciousness. * The next day Raymond was able to go home. I was also relieved because Raymond was just tired. When he got home, Raymond had to go to work again. I also reminded him not to forget to eat. I also brought him lunch so he didn't need to go to the canteen to buy food. Actually, I already want to go to my house but I have to wait for the right time. Indeed, I feel comfortable at my mother-in-law's house. But I just miss the atmosphere of my house, especially after it has been renovated. Moreover, Tissa is also getting closer to me. Just like Bob
Raymond's POV I wonder why they can immediately believe without any evidence that this company is also bankrupt. It is precisely because these investors withdrew their shares that this company could go bankrupt. I don't want that moment to happen again. I promised my father that I would defend this company for whatever reason. After the board of directors meeting was over I asked everyone to go back to work. I also still have to think about what I should do for now. I even forgot to eat lunch. Suddenly it was four in the afternoon. I just looked at my cell phone. Fransisca sent a message to remind me to eat lunch because I didn't have time for breakfast this morning. When I was about to go home I greeted Nichole and for some reason, my head suddenly felt dizzy. * I saw the ceiling of a room I didn't recognize. I turned around and saw Fransisca and Bobby there. “Raymond, are you a
Raymond's POV After Nadya left her daughter, she never contacted me or my mother again. I even asked her mother where Nadya was, she said Nadya worked abroad. She decided this because she wanted to work for a company abroad. It was as if Nadya had disappeared into the earth and never appeared again. But at least I'm grateful because Nadya doesn't disturb my household with Fransisca. Even now Fransisca has to take care of Tissa. I also don't know how I could have a child with Nadya even though I never touched Nadya. But my mother said that at that time when I took Nadya to the hotel there, I was beaten by Nadya's men. And at that time I was given stimulants and thought Nadya was Fransisca. I still feel disbelief. I never even remembered that moment until now. But maybe that was fate. Even though I was in contact with Nadya, I still called Fransisca there. So because it was a trap by her, she was the one who took re
I don't dare answer yet. “Tissa has a babysitter, ma'am. Why does Fransisca have to take care of her?" said Raymond. When he was with the babysitter, Tissa would often cry. "Well, I want to take care of Tissa, ma'am, Raymond," I answered. "Are you sure?" Raymond asked me to confirm. "Yes, I'm sure. I feel sorry for her too," I answered. “Okay, you just stay here. This house is spacious. Where you want to sleep is up to you. Nadya really doesn't know herself anymore," my mother-in-law raved. Indeed, I also can't say any more. Seeing Tissa who doesn't know anything about her family's problems but now she has to endure. I can't bear to see that. Although to be honest, my heart would also hurt if it turned out that she was indeed Raymond's biological daughter with another woman. Once again, Tissa didn't know what her parents were doing. What is clear is that she wants to grow into a better self from
