Leo looked at Patrick as if assuring him that he could take over about Indra's current condition. Initially, Patrick was hesitant, but Leo's convincing gaze finally made Patrick leave Leo alone standing in front of Indra's door.Leo then knocked on Indra's door again, which was once again rewarded with a thrown object from inside, but Leo didn't stop there."Indra, can we talk for a moment," Leo said."Leave this house, never meet my family again, I still want to live!" Indra screamed from inside, making Leo take a long breath before exhaling slowly."If you still want to see your parents alive and well, you have to be willing to cooperate with me. Have you ever seen me ignore all my employees when they are in trouble?" Leo said, making Indra fall silent from inside, not saying a word in response to Leo's words."So, quickly open the door. We need to talk about the problems you're facing. I know you're being threatened by someone and playing with your life, and right now there is no o
Alana tried to contact Leo several times, but after more than five minutes without Leo picking up the phone, Alana finally took the initiative to send him a short message, stating that she would go to the bakery to meet a customer who suddenly canceled their order. Afterward, Alana immediately got into the car that was ready to take her to the bakery. On the way, she lamented the customer who suddenly canceled their order."I don't understand why there are people like that," grumbled Alana. "If they really wanted to cancel, they could have done it much earlier, instead of canceling when half of their order is already prepared." It only took about fifteen minutes for Alana to arrive in front of the bakery and she quickly got out of the car, instructing the driver to wait for her. Alana was immediately greeted by Camila, who had been dealing with the customer."She's still inside, of course, with his warm tea and the dessert he always orders beforehand," said Camila, almost mocking the
Alana immediately rose from her seat and was about to leave the bakery after the self-absorbed customer left. Besides, Alana felt she shouldn't have to deal with Zade any longer, who was now continuously scrutinizing her with his eyes. Alana always felt uncomfortable when those eyes examined every inch of her body. In her heart, Alana felt that Zade's gaze wasn't unfamiliar. The gaze that previously made her angry when it scrutinized every inch of her innocent body, and she felt it now as Zade continued to stare at her without looking away.But just as Alana was about to pass by him, suddenly her hand was gripped very tightly, causing Alana to attempt to push it away. However, it wasn't easy when those large hands enclosed around Alana's small hand."Let go of me!" Alana snapped, causing Camila and the two other workers still in the shop to approach Alana, but Zade immediately stared sharply at them."This is none of your business, so don't even think about getting closer," Zade said
Alana began to move her hands, which were now handcuffed to the car door handle, rendering her unable to do anything. It turned out Zade really intended to take her away. Alana then glanced around the street they were passing through, which took her off the highway, causing her mind to wander far."Where are you taking me?" Alana asked, staring at Zade with a sharp gaze."Away from your husband," he casually replied without shifting his gaze ahead."Don't joke around, you'll really face serious consequences from Leo if you take me away from him," Alana said again, only making Zade laugh again as if disregarding Alana's words."Your husband, he won't be able to do anything anymore. Maybe his life will disappear from this world soon, and what you need is someone to take care of you and the baby. I've been kind enough to take you away and take care of you both," Zade said, furrowing Alana's brow."Are you crazy? Did you take the wrong medication? It seems like your mother should have tak
Leo rushed out of Patrick's residence when his private driver, who was sent to escort Alana, had just contacted him, informing him that Alana was once again in grave danger. Leo cursed himself as he glanced at his phone and saw Alana's unread message and several missed calls.Leo immediately drove his car at high speed. Several times Leo cursed when the vehicles ahead of him still seemed crowded despite the darkening sky. Leo then reached for his phone to call someone. This time he couldn't move alone when he was sure who the perpetrator he had to catch. Leo didn't want to lose Alana and their unborn child. He had to move quickly."Hello, Pedro. Have you returned home?" Leo said as the phone call connected."Oh yes, I just arrived this afternoon. Although, I was planning to return tomorrow. What's up?" Pedro asked."I can't discuss it over the phone. I'll be at your house in ten minutes. Get yourself and your car ready. We don't have much time," Leo said, leaving a big question mark f
Leo immediately rushed out of the car, even without closing it, while taking out his phone and calling Pedro."Hurry out! I'm around your house and bring your car keys. We need to leave quickly," Leo said as he ran a bit, because Leo had parked his car far from Pedro's house and other houses. Leo parked his car on the side next to a wide grass field.Leo could see Pedro coming out of his house and staring at him with narrowed eyes. "What are you doing, running and parking the car so far away?" Pedro asked as Leo approached him."Just ask later. Where are your car keys, we need to hurry," Leo replied with a panicked expression, causing Pedro to move the car keys away from Leo's reach."Explain to me first, what's really going on, what problem are you facing?" Pedro asked, making Leo's jaw tense."I'll tell you after this is over. I don't have much time left, Pedro. Right now, Alana is in danger, and we need to help her quickly," Leo said, deepening the wrinkles on Pedro's forehead. Leo
Alana began to shift her gaze around the area, which was now the stop where Zade had parked the car. After a rather long journey, Zade finally stopped at one of the houses located on a hill. Zade then opened the door for Alana after previously unlocking the handcuffs bound to her wrists."Get out," Zade said, causing Alana to hesitate to comply with his words."Do you want to stay in this car? If so, I'll go back in," Zade said, making Alana reluctantly glance towards the back seat of the car. Suddenly, the previous unfortunate event she had experienced flashed back into her mind, prompting Alana to quickly exit the car. Alana then looked around. There were only a few street lights dimly visible. It turned out that on this hill, there was not just one house, but several houses that were quite far apart. Alana then narrowed her eyes, guessing whether these houses were inhabited or not because this place was truly far from civilization. Those who lived here might also have difficulty ge
Pedro glanced at Leo with a hint of concern as Leo was driving the car like a maniac amidst the busy streets."I hope you can control yourself. We can find Alana because we can still track her phone. We can also anticipate where Zade will take your wife," Pedro said. But it seemed Leo wasn't listening to his friend's advice."If you don't slow down this car, we'll die first, and you won't be able to save your wife," Pedro reiterated, finally making Leo look at him. However, at that moment, something loud crashed into the back of the car they were riding, causing the car to spin in the middle of the road. Fortunately, the impact occurred not on the front of the car, so Pedro and Leo only suffered minor injuries.Leo and Pedro immediately got out of the smoking car. After that, they looked towards another car that had suffered the same fate as the one they were driving. It turned out they had just experienced a traffic accident as Pedro had feared."Look at what you've done. You've wrec
