When she remembered Conrad again, Meryll became upset. In the nearly two months since Conrad proposed to her, she felt that the man’s treatment towards her was slowly getting colder.
A wall seemed to be slowly growing between them and she knew it wasn't something she could just ignore.
She knew that sooner or later, there would be a serious gap between them. And she had to find a way to get rid of it between the two of them.
She loves Conrad and she won’t let anything to ruin everything just because of whatever pressure there is in the middle of them. She will not allow the day to come when he will lose all feelings for her. No. That can't happen.
A tear fell from her eyes. He was her everything. And she will do everything to keep him on her side. No matter what happen. Conrad belongs to her. And to her only.

Todd frowned with what she said. "You're already living independently, and you are saying that you don't know how to do houseworks?" She must be kidding."It's true that I'm living away from my parents. But it doesn't mean I can't hire helpers for me." Her expression didn't show any sign of joking."Maybe it's time for you to learn. Besides, you're pregnant, and you must be having someone on your side to take care of you."At the upcoming end of their conversation, Siren could feel that this guy in front of him didn't have any idea how she was living her life until now. Regardless of what he was seeing at her home. He still have the same impression that she was just bluffing and he can't take her seriously.Like seriously? Isn't it obvious that she was living not just a comfortable life just by seeing where she lives? It's a freaking multi-million worth of a Penthouse in an exclusive residential building and he was thinking t
By just hearing the name he mention, it makes him realize what had happen last night.He frowned at the thought of the woman he kissed. He grabbed the man on his shoulders."Where is she?""You mean Miss Siren?" He was stunned with his actions."Where is she? I need to see her!""She said, you need to leave by the time you wake up. She doesn't want to tell you where she is now."The man's voice was stern though he looks terrified."Tell her I need to talk to her." His voice softens. He knew that if he would act like a madman, there will be no any chance that Siren will face her."I'm sorry to tell you, but she said she was busy and can't make any time to meet you."Obviously, he was just lying. But Conrad can't keep himself insisting what he wants. It's obvious that the woman didn't wa
Todd got furious being treated like that. He strode out of the room and go straight to the door.Harry and Lily who was chatting at the kitchen were left dumbfounded after hearing the commotion after Todd left."I don't actually like the guy for the Young lady." Lily commented.Harry smiled having the same thoughts.---------On Todd's home.He wanted to smash everything as soon as he got home. Siren really makes his blood boil with her attitude.He started to calm himself down by taking deep breaths. After three consecutive minutes, he was able to collect himself again. And that's the moment his phone rings.When he read the caller's name, it was Sam."Can we talk?" Her voice were trembling."About what?" He frowned.
After his urgent meeting with his business partner, Jeff sat still at the coffee shop while taking his time finishing his coffee.He took his laptop computer and tried to insert the flash drive that the woman dropped on the elevator earlier.He just want to take a hint of who the woman is and maybe he could meet her again and bring back the flash drive.While it loads, he sipped on his coffee. After that, he tried opening the files to get some information. Until he spotted a file labeled as x-videos.He smirked. Is she saving some dirty stuffs?As a man who got curious with it, he open the videos one by one.Only to be stunned with the third video he played.It was a very familiar woman sitting on the couch. Looking so restless. She was with a man beside her who keep on trying to calm her down.&
"Hi!" Olivia rose up as she saw Greg approaching.Greg greets her with a kiss."To whom should I thanked for this treat?" He asked as he sat on the opposite side of the table.A dinner for two that Olivia planned.After talking nonsense with the nonsense airhead Sylvia, she decided to asked Greg to have dinner outside."No need for that, darling." She smiled at him. " I just realize we don't get much time to have our private matters since Siren left. The house has been chaotic and we are both busy to even deal with eating dinner outside."Greg's facial expression soften as he realized that what she said is true."I'm sorry about that, darling.""That's nothing. At least, we can have time now. Since you found Siren, Sylvia won't be bothering you anymore."In her
Siren's POVOn my way back to the table, I was just looking at Sam's face. Trying hard not to grit my teeth.The dinner was almost done, yet my portion are still untouched."Are you okay?" Todd asked me when I sat beside him. He even pulled aside my hair to check my face.I smiled sweetly at him. Intending to show that we are in good terms."I'm just not having appetite with the food.""You want to eat something? Strawberry cake?"I heard a faint laughter around us when they hear what Todd's say."Dude, your endearment was really sweet." Chad's laugh was really something."It's not what you think." Todd looked at him sharply. "She's kinda liking strawberries these days."Todd's mom looked at me, grinning. "Sounds like you're in conception." 
Siren got up the next morning with a light mood. Her morning sickness are absent today and she felt relieved about it.At nine o'clock she finished her bathe and was now having dinner with Lily and Harry.The two were quietly looking at her as she was eating her pancakes with frost and topped with strawberries."We gonna go somewhere after breakfast." She said, looking at Harry.After breakfast, they go straight down to the parking lot.Siren gave Harry the location and he followed it as soon as they get in the car.Twenty minutes of driving, Harry park the black Lamborghini in front of the Hilton Pharmaceuticals.Confused, he turned to Siren."Wait here, okay? I'll be quick." Without waiting for him to open her door, she got off. Taking her way to the entrance.&
Conrad's POVI was awaken by the loud knocking on the door. Mom's voice was calling out my name but I knew that she's not the only one out there.I lazily got off from bed and realize that I'm still wearing my clothes from yesterday. But nevermind. I opened the door."What's with you? Why are you still sleeping at this time?" She asked me when I faced her."I'm sorry. I overslept.""Overslept? Little did I not know that you came home last night being drunk!""I was just with my friends last night. We got few drinks and that's it." I was obviously making an excuse.She's right, I was really wasted when I came home last night. But I didn't got out with my friends.I drank alone.I feel like I badly needing it. I need it to forget my stress over a per
A smile was wiped from Madison's lips as she saw the familiar vehicle in the villa's garage. When her car was parked, she immediately got out to confirm her suspicion. When she entered the house, she was a little surprised that there was no Mrs. Carlson to greet her. She looks so confused as she finally entered the household. "Where have you been?"She almost jumped when suddenly a loud voice spoke. Only to find out that the man who just asked her were standing on the stairs. Seriously looking at her. "Arthur?" She almost stuttered. What is Arthur doing here? "I'm asking you. Where did you come from?" He asked as he started to walk down the stairs. She took a deep breath as she spoke. "I just wander around the corner.""Around the corner?" He repeats when he finally get down and they face each other. "Where's that around the corner?"In Madison's eyes, even though the man looked chill and composed, she knew that was not really what he had in mind. "Do I really have to tell yo
Her heart suddenly skip a single beat without her knowing why. Although still smiling, the confusion on Madison's face was obvious as she turned to the man. "Leaving?" She repeats. "Just a moment and the sun will go down, we can leave later."Conrad smiled. Smile that she could not understand. "What I mean is, I'm going back home. My vacation is over."Madison was stunned for a moment. She couldn't think of anything to say. She felt awkward because of the moment of silence so she just turned her eyes in another direction. "Good to know." She just said that. "When's your flight?""The day after tomorrow." The man answered. "Ah.""Madison?""Hmm?""Thank you.""What for?""For everything. For accompanying me. For apologies, and for the memories."Even though she wasn't looking at him she knew Conrad was looking at her now. So she suppressed the urge to turn in his direction. She doesn't want to be wrong. "You're welcome." She says. "Madison?""Yes?" She answered before finally tu
Two, three, four to the fifth day. They have toured almost all the tourist spots in Zagreb, the country's capital. They have almost no idea where to go next. Every restaurant, street foods and other pastry shops have been visited and tried by them too. "Where do you want to go now?" Conrad asked her as he drove the car. "I can't think of anything else. I think we've been to every places we can go to." She replied. "Is that all?" He asked with a frown. "Hmm.""How about we get on the yacht? Sailing at sea, then." He suggested. "Yacht?" She asked. "Are you in?" The excitement was painted on his face. "Sure. I think it's better to watch the sunset when you're on a yacht. It's a different feeling when you're in the water than on the ground when you're watching the sunset." Smiling, she said. Her eyes were focused ahead so she didn't notice the moment Conrad's gaze turned to her. The man smiled in amazement at what she said. However, he never spoke again. ---***Felix stopped wa
They thought to visit some of the famous museums and restaurants that day. Madison noticed that as long as they were together and talking, she also got to know the man in a way he didn’t intentionally show. The day passed without her being aware of it. Somehow, it also makes sense to talk to the man. He's also easy to get along with though he loves to spill some daddy jokes everytime.And true to his words, all expenses including her daily wage are the all charged to him. "Why don't you want me to take you home?" Conrad asked as he stopped the car on the side of the road. "It's also a waste of the fare if you have to ride home.""Nevermind. My house is just around the corner." She refused as she got out of the car. "Are you sure?"She rolled her eyes. "Yes.""Okay. Just be careful going home. Call me when you're home." He ordered that makes her raised an eyebrow. She grinned at him. "Do I have to tell you if I'm home or not?" She asked. The man smiled as he scratched his forehe
‘My wife is going to give birth that day. The baby she will give birth to is a pre-mature baby so she has to be taken to a bigger hospital. We were on the road when we suddenly heard a series of gunshots so in fear I stopped my pick-up truck on the curve and thinking about turning back. But I saw that Margarita was bleeding. I was afraid that something worse would happen to my wife and my son so I carefully thinking what to do first. When I was sure the gunshots were gone, I went back. A few meters away on the curve, I saw a car. Black and looks expensive. But the windshields are all destroyed. I did not catch up with the culprits, but I saw a woman lying on the ground. A few meters from the car. Fearing that we will get into trouble, I planned to leave the woman alone. But I felt sorry for her. I thought we would go to the hospital too, so I decided to go back and take her with us to the hospital. ' Peter narrate the whole thing. 'When we got to the hospital, I first took my wife
Mrs. Carlson slowly opened the door of the room. The woman sleeping in the bed reflected in the dark surroundings. Its deep breathing was listened to carefully in silence. He knew the woman was sound asleep. Probably tired of what was done wherever it went before. He has also been late for Madison's outing for a few nights. He knows it’s careful in action so he doesn’t matter but what it doesn’t know is that he sees its every move. She just waits long enough to let Arthur know everything is going on. He closed the door again and then silently went to the kitchen. He took the jar containing the sugar from the pantry and then pulled a small bottle out of his pocket. He mixed the white powder with the sugar and then shook the meat to make it thicker. He then covered it and returned it to the pantry. He also put away the small bottle and then threw it in the trash. He left the kitchen and then went to his own room to continue sleeping. ***'Let's meet this afternoon at three o'cloc
...Conrad just sighed because of what the woman said. He wanted to answer what she said but he knew to himself that he needed to lengthen the cord of his patience a little. After all, what shee said was true because he was in arrears. So even with the taste of the woman's anger, he still restrained himself. He would not allow the opportunity he had waited for so many hours to be lost because of her words. "Hey ..." He chased to block her path. "What is it that you want?" Glaring, she says. "If you don't leave me alone, I will call the cops and I will say you are harassing me." She even threatened him. "What?" He was stunned. "And why would I be harassing you? You're not my type and you're not that pretty either." He says. "Then, why are you following me? What do you need?" She placed her hands on the both side of her waist in front of him. "Let me tell you, I don't have time to fool around right now. So you better leave me alo--""I came here to apologize to you." She was cut
Madison went home still enraged by what had happened at the restaurant earlier. She was greeted by the astonished look of Mrs. Carlson but she just ignored her. She immediately went straight to her room and slammed the door shut. But instead of doing anything to release her anger, she just forced herself to calm down. In fact, she was not angry because she was fired, but because the reason was irrational. She could not have imagined that after more than a year of working there, only a man like that would destroy her credibility and reputation of her work. "I hate you!" She shouted remembering the man. In her mind, she had wanted to kill him several times. ***Conrad rolled his eyes inside the bar. He had been going back and forth there for two nights, so the bouncer and the bartender got familiar to him immediately. "Whiskey?" The bartender asked as he sat on the counter stool. "I prefer vodka tonight." He replied. In his mind, he wanted to estimate how much time he would spend
Wearing his casual clothes, a cap and his sunglasses, Jeff came out of the room he was occupying in that hotel. It was three o'clock in the afternoon so he knew the sun was not that hot outside. He had felt hungry earlier but he didn't bother to order from room service because he didn't like the food offered at the hotel restaurant. He took the elevator while wondering what food he could eat outside. When he reached the ground floor, as soon as the opening of the elevator where he was, also the opening of another elevator on the opposite side.Jeff furrowed his brows as he recognized the man exiting the elevator. Although he's not actually facing him, he knew he couldn’t be wrong, it was Conrad Younas.He got stunned for a moment as the flash of Siren's face crossed his mind. The same day when he revealed Conrad Younas’ connection to Siren’s pregnancy, was also the same day when the incident of Diana’s death and Siren’s disappearance occurred. For a moment he wanted to be suspicio
