Leo and Alana returned to their room with a thousand questions swirling in their minds. Leo, ready to lay his body on the bed, while Alana still stared at the large mirror in front of her with a vacant gaze."He could be the one who sabotaged Leo's car," Alana thought. Then she shook her head. It couldn't be Indra; she was the one driving the car, Alana thought."Alana," Leo called out, making Alana slightly startled as she turned to look at Leo, who was staring at her with raised eyebrows."Yes?" Alana replied."Are you daydreaming?" Leo asked, making Alana shake her head."Yes, you were. I called you several times, and you didn't respond," Leo said, making Alana blink several times."Really?" Alana asked, making Leo sigh deeply."Come here, why were you staring at that large mirror for so long?" Leo said, making Alana immediately smile broadly and run towards Leo, then lay down right beside her husband."What were you thinking about?" Leo asked when Alana was in his embrace."I was
Leo hugged Alana tightly, trying to lull his trembling wife back to sleep in his embrace. Leo was sure Alana must have had a very bad dream, causing her face to pale and her body to tremble intensely when she suddenly screamed in her sleep. Leo didn't ask too many questions because he didn't want to make Alana feel more uncomfortable. So, all Leo could do right now was to provide comfort to Alana while gently stroking her back.Leo kissed the top of Alana's head once, hoping that his wife could go back to sleep peacefully. Leo's efforts paid off when he felt Alana's steady breath, causing Leo to slightly lower his face and see Alana's pale face, now looking calm. Leo then shifted his gaze to the clock on the nightstand, which showed it was two in the early morning, prompting Leo to force his eyes shut again because the sunrise was still a long way off. Fortunately, Leo didn't have much difficulty closing his eyes again as before, perhaps because Alana was close to him, making it easy
Alana stared at Indra, who was now bowing his head in front of her."What do you mean by your apology?" Alana asked, making Indra finally look up at her."Because I couldn't be honest in front of Mr. Leo," Indra answered, furrowing Alana's brow even more."So what do you mean? Explain from the beginning. I don't like it when you beat around the bush like this," Alana said again, making Indra finally look around them, making sure no one else could hear their conversation."I did everything. I am responsible for the accident that happened to you and Mr. Leo," Indra said, making Alana widen her eyes in disbelief, staring at the private driver whom Leo trusted so much. Alana then walked closer to look into Indra's eyes, searching for lies in his gaze."Didn't you hear me? Explain from the beginning," Alana said again, with an intimidating tone. Alana wouldn't let the culprit go this time because they had tried to take her husband's life and indirectly endangered hers too."I was instructe
After Alana left, Leo returned to his office. However, not to stare at his laptop screen or tidy up the piles of files on his desk. Leo immediately grabbed his phone and called Pedro, who was currently at his own office."Are you busy?" Leo asked as soon as the call connected."Yes, I am the busiest secretary in the world, because my boss always arbitrarily dumps all his tasks onto this unfortunate secretary," Pedro replied with a tired tone, causing Leo to just display his flat expression without intending to respond."In that case, leave your busyness at the office for a moment and come here," Leo said, making Pedro respond excessively on the other end, causing Leo to move his phone away from his ear due to Pedro's shouting that hurt his hearing."What?" Pedro exclaimed, making Leo sigh in annoyance."You're telling me to leave all my tasks at the office and come to your house. I might be happy if you told me to forget all these tasks and be replaced to meet you," Pedro replied."I'
Miranda and Selena glanced at Leo, who was now focused on the screen of his phone in his hand. Occasionally, Miranda nudged Selena's arm to initiate a conversation with Leo, making Selena slightly uneasy with her mother's behavior, as she had been restless and continuously causing her arm to ache with her persistent nudging."It's better if Mom starts the conversation herself," whispered Selena, prompting Miranda to finally straighten up and gaze at Leo."Where's your wife?" Miranda asked, causing Leo to shift his gaze from his phone and look towards his aunt."She might come in a few minutes," Leo replied, glancing towards his side where the path to his room with Alana lay. Leo had gone to the dining table without waiting for Alana, who had been busy in the bathroom. Leo wondered what she had been doing in there all that time."May I ask something, Aunt?" Miranda inquired, causing Leo to finally set down his phone and look at Miranda with a serious expression."Yes, go ahead," Leo re
Alana abruptly swung open Leo's office door, causing Leo to lift his head from the tab he was focused on holding. He then furrowed his brow at the sight of a pouting face and pursed lips, indicating that his wife was currently sulking. Leo then observed Alana as she threw herself onto the sofa in the middle of his office, continuously clenching her fists and staring at the row of books on the table."So, did someone bother you?" Leo asked, making Alana immediately turn to look at him."Do you think my waist is small?" Alana suddenly disregarded Leo's previous question, causing Leo to furrow his brow."What?" Leo asked, as if requesting an explanation for the question."Do you think my waist is small?" Alana repeated, standing up and placing her hands on her waist, making Leo look at her with raised eyebrows."I don't know, but your waist fits your body perfectly," Leo hesitantly replied, observing Alana's waist, making Alana sigh in frustration."What I'm asking is whether my waist is
Alana folded her arms with a grim aura, staring at a man who was now taking over her duties. She then sighed in frustration, shifting her gaze. She couldn't believe her husband trusted his secretary more with this than her, his own wife. Alana then stormed out of the dressing room towards Leo's workspace. As usual, when she was upset, Alana would rudely barge into Leo's office. She plopped herself down on the sofa in the middle of the room without saying a word. It seemed Leo was starting to get used to and understand Alana's mood when she was sulking."Now what?" Leo asked, causing Alana to glare at him sharply."You're still asking. Isn't it clear why I'm angry?" Alana replied, causing Leo to put down his newspaper. Then he looked at his wife. Leo was ready to listen to Alana's rant, which she seemed prepared to deliver."Do you forget that I'm not as insensitive as you think?" Leo replied calmly, making Alana sigh in frustration once again. Whether her husband was truly insensitive
Alana frowned at the three suitcases not far from her. "You still have a week left before going to Singapore, so why prepare them so early?" Alana asked, making Leo, who was reading a book while leaning against the headboard of the bed, shift his gaze."Pedro always prepares everything early because he thinks it's better that way," Leo replied, still making Alana feel irritated because those three suitcases truly belonged to Pedro, prepared without any input from him. Alana felt like Leo trusted Pedro, who understood him more than Alana herself."I still feel annoyed looking at those suitcases," Alana grumbled. Then, she pulled a pillow and placed it next to Leo's waist. After that, Alana lay down facing Leo. She then looked at Leo, who didn't respond to her words and instead focused on the book in front of him. Alana then looked at her husband's face, who was now wearing reading glasses. Alana rarely saw glasses perched on the bridge of his nose, and this time she really paid attenti
This time, Camila walked while holding her uncle's hand, Charlotte's husband. He was a tall man, with blonde hair and striking blue eyes, leading her towards the altar, where Pedro was waiting for her with a beaming smile, making Camila's heart beat faster. Even if Danmonte didn't hold Camila's hand tightly, she would have stepped on her long dress several times because of nervousness. Somehow, his slow steps felt very fast.Until finally, they arrived right in front of the altar, where Pedro immediately reached out his hand, causing Camila to reach out her hand and greet him, prompting Pedro to immediately pull Camila up to the altar, where they would make their sacred vows for a lifetime, witnessed by some important guests attended only by friends and the closest people to Pedro and Camila.Making the sacred vows for life, always faithful in joy or sorrow, always faithful in sickness and in health, they expressed their vows wholeheartedly, living to complement each other until death
Camila stared at the large mirror in front of her, her heart pounding, unable to believe what she was seeing. Her body was now adorned in a beautiful long white dress, clinging gracefully to her figure, accompanied by makeup enhancing her face. This made Camila purse her lips, finally gazing upon herself as the bride she had dreamed of becoming.Her reverie was interrupted when someone entered, causing Camila to smile broadly. "Aunt," Camila said, as Charlotte walked in wearing a white dress clinging to her body as Pedro had described. Although her aunt was in her fifties, she truly looked like a woman in her thirties. Charlotte then approached Camila, looking at her niece with teary eyes."I never imagined my niece, whom I've taken care of since she was little, would grow up to be so beautiful, even becoming a stunning bride," Charlotte said, making Camila blush, only able to lower her head. Charlotte then reached out her hand and lifted Camila's face."You're truly beautiful. Just l
Pedro, Camila, Leo, and Alana are currently discussing the plans for Pedro and Camila's wedding, which will be held one week from now after Leo called Alana enthusiastically, who immediately agreed and promised to prepare the wedding for them. Alana asked Leo to bring Pedro and Camila to their home, and this is where they are currently discussing the dream wedding that Pedro and Camila have been longing for."I think it's better to do it indoors," Pedro said, but Camila immediately shook her head."No, I think it will be more sacred and special if we do it outdoors," Camila said, causing Pedro to turn and look at her."Darling, if we do it outdoors, the weather isn't always favorable, sometimes it rains, sometimes it's hot. Do you want our wedding blessing to suddenly be interrupted by rain? What about the guests and others? We can't just rush to avoid the rain, can we?" Pedro said, making Camila pinch his cheek playfully."But isn't there a tent we can use for outdoor events?" Camila
Leo barged straight into Pedro's room, suddenly, without even knocking, and saw Pedro looking like he hadn't slept for a week."What's up with you? Suddenly applying for leave for next week? Where are you going for a whole week?" Leo asked, seeing the leave letter submitted by his secretary."And what about you? You look really disheveled," Leo asked Pedro again, who was now sitting in front of him."Can I ask for your help?" Pedro suddenly asked, causing Leo to look at him with raised eyebrows."Looks like my guess was right, you've got a problem?" Leo guessed again."It's not really a big problem. I don't know, I could call it a problem or a blessing," Pedro said, making Leo just stare at him with a questioning look, wondering what he meant."A few days ago, after the dinner event at your place, I immediately called Camila's aunt and told her about my intention to propose to her, and also said that Camila's trip to California was canceled. And unexpectedly, she flew here right away
Pedro and Camila sat in silence, their faces tense as they occasionally glanced at the woman in front of them who was looking around."Is this your house?" the middle-aged woman in front of them asked."Yes, this is my house," Pedro answered, still with a tense atmosphere on their faces."What do you do to afford such a big house?" she asked again, making Camila immediately look at Pedro, then turning back to the woman sitting in front of her, a fashionable middle-aged woman who still looked like she was in her thirties, she was Camila's aunt named Charlotte."Aunt, Pedro is a secretary at Samudra Group. Do you know about that big company?" Camila asked, trying to explain a little bit about Pedro. After returning from dinner at Leo's house the next day, Camila and Pedro planned to tell Charlotte about their relationship. And what they didn't expect was that Charlotte immediately flew over to meet Camila and Pedro. Of course, she didn't agree with Camila's sudden plan. Charlotte said t
Pedro stopped his car right outside Leo's residence, but as he was about to step out of the car, Camila suddenly pulled the end of his jacket."Why?" Pedro asked, making Camila look at him with hesitation."I'm embarrassed," Camila said, making Pedro just purse his lips. Then, he reached out his hand and gently caressed Camila's cheek."Why be embarrassed? Weren't you very close to Alana before?" Pedro said, making Camila shake her head again."That's not what I'm thinking about. I'm embarrassed to meet Mr. Leo and to know that they already know about your proposal plans," Camila said, feeling anxious, making Pedro once again give her a reassuring smile. Pedro was captivated by the glow on both sides of his future wife's face, looking very beautiful tonight after Pedro had truly explained all his plans to Leo, even though Leo had guessed them beforehand. But Leo pretended not to know and treated the news as a surprise. That's why Leo and Alana decided to invite Pedro and Camila for di
Pedro fell silent, gazing at Camila who now only lowered her head."What does that shake of your head mean? Is it a sign that you're rejecting my proposal?" Pedro asked, causing Camila to raise her face again, looking into Pedro's pleading eyes."It's not like that," Camila said, causing Pedro to raise an eyebrow."Then what's your answer?" Pedro asked."Of course, I would gladly accept your proposal, but there's something bothering me. I'm still not sure about what you feel for me. It's hard to believe that you could declare your proposal so quickly, especially when we still have two weeks to get to know each other," Camila said, unable to meet Pedro's gaze as he now only looked at their intertwined fingers."Love doesn't require much time to settle in someone's heart. Imagine, initially I didn't think I would develop feelings for you, but when I learned about your feelings for me, I started to open my heart. And I also feel surprised, usually I never easily open my heart to other wo
Pedro stared at Camila with furrowed brows."What's wrong? I'm just giving my opinion on the movie we're watching," Pedro said, causing Camila to sigh deeply."I'm not blaming you for having an opinion about this movie, but can we not judge them based solely on scenes like that?" Camila said, feeling like Pedro was intentionally bringing up such scenes."What's wrong with that?" Pedro asked, seemingly wanting to corner Camila further."I don't know, but it's better if we just go back to watching. Besides, the scene has already passed. Look, they're not kissing anymore," Camila said, then fell silent while looking at Pedro, who was staring at her mischievously. Somehow, she had clearly mentioned the scene, making Camila close her eyes in embarrassment."You're the one who mentioned the scene so explicitly. Alright, now that they're done with their acting, I'm curious. What if we do it now?" Pedro suddenly said, making Camila widen her eyes."What?" Camila said, but her words were cut o
Camila, who was engrossed in watching the drama she had been eagerly anticipating, was suddenly startled when Pedro sat right next to her, causing Camila to furrow her brow as she glanced at him."Aren't you supposed to be resting?" Camila asked, making Pedro nod briefly."Well, I was planning to rest, but it turns out I'm not sleepy yet, so I thought I'd just keep you company and watch with you," Pedro said, causing Camila to fall silent and choose to return her gaze to the flat screen in front of her. Of course, at the moment, she was watching a romantic drama about love. Camila wasn't sure if Pedro would like the drama she was currently watching, but several minutes passed and Pedro remained faithfully seated beside her, not budging at all, causing Camila to hesitantly glance at Pedro who was focused on the movie in front of him. Could he actually enjoy films like this with a romantic drama vibe? Camila wondered as she looked at him with raised eyebrows, but from his appearance, Pe
