“You have to go back abroad.” “No, Daddy! I won’t give up on Travis this time!” Cheska was crying stubbornly to what her father wanted to happen. “Daughter, just listen to your daddy, it’s for you and your son’s good,” the mother begged Cheska. Cheska stubbornly shook her head and refused to follow her parents. She got wild because her father didn’t let her go out and see Travis. She did not believe that the young man had abducted her. She also blames her father because she got involved in a case because of him. She had a different plan with Shaina then, but her father intervened. At the old mansion, Joshua and his mother fight again. They heard that Jacob had failed.“What if your brother finds out that you are an accomplice with Jacob?” Martha angrily asked her son. Joshua lit a cigarette again and did not bother to hide it from his mother. He needed to calm himself down and these last few days he seemed to be getting nervous. “What’s that?” Martha tried to grab her son’s hand
“Sir, there is a problem in the warehouse and you need to go there.” Jacob violently washed his face with his empty palm out of frustration. The problem with his daughter is not over yet, then here comes a new one again. “Alex is on the other line, sir.” Jacob quickly took the cellphone from the staff and answered Alex’s call. He is his right hand and tonight they will bring out some drugs to take it to the dealers. “What’s the matter?”“Sir, I did an inventory and we will have a shortage of supplies later.”“How did that happen? I even had you double check our stock before accepting a buyer.”“I don’t know either, sir. We’re going to be in trouble tonight if this isn’t fixed.”Annoyed, Jacob stood up and decided to go to the warehouse. Tomorrow, he will hand over his daughter to the police to clear her name. When Jacob arrived at the warehouse, he was surprised to see that there was someone on the list that he did not recognize. So they have a problem with the quantity because som
Thirteen Years Later“Arriana, Trisha, hurry up and we might be late!” Shaina called the two girls. “Hey, don’t stress yourself.” Travis hugged his wife from behind. Shaina calmed down when she felt her husband’s arms around her. She smiled as his palm caressed her large belly. Yes, after fifteen years, she got pregnant again and it was a miracle. She thought that she was about to get menopaused because Trisha is now a teenager before she got pregnant again with their 4th baby, even though she and Travis wanted a new baby for a long time. The couple turned at the same time when they heard footsteps coming from the stairs. Trisha went down first. At the age of twelve, she looks like a lady. Tall and has a slender body. But her complexion was obtained from Shaina which was like a milk in whiteness. Arriana is also has a flawless skin and she looks like a model.Shaina smiled when she observed Arriana. She is now wearing only a simple t-shirt and pants. And she turns eighteen by next
“Brother, is it true that you will be studying here for the second semester?” Arriana happily asked her brother. Adrian put down the book he was reading before facing his twin sister. “Mommy will give birth in just a few months. And you and Trisha are already growing up.”Arriana was left speechless, she wanted her brother to be in the country, of course. But when he was reminded her of their age, she seemed to have second thoughts now. If their father is strict, their brother is twice as strict. Yes, and no one knows that they are the children of a billionaire. But someone still sends and picks them up using an old car. Adrian himself wanted them not to be known in public as the son of a big company owner in the country for their welfare and safety. They have pictures from some events but those are blurry. Plus, their father blocks the media to spread the news about their family. They are also rarely included in events. When they were little, they were often almost kidnapped becaus
ADRIAN could freely observe the woman who was talking to his cousin, Tristan. He was now in the parking area of the building where the girl was studying. He didn’t know how the two became close. He’s been gone for just over two years and it looks like there’s been a big change in the woman he’s destined to marry. Adrian leaned his back against the back of the seat. He remembered why he agreed to his father’s foolishness— two years ago. “I am old and you are my only son.” “But I don’t plan on getting married early, Dad!”“Granchild is all I need. You can break up after two years if there is no love between the two of you.”Adrian thought, with his father’s attitude, he knew he would still find a way even if he didn’t agree. “What’s in return?” he replied instead.A beautiful smile formed on his father’s lips before answering, “I will let you take whatever course you want and you can do whatever you want to do in your life, as long as what you do does not damage our name.” “In that c
“Are you ready?” asked Ben to his adopted young girl. Travis’ family will come today to formally discuss other details about their children’s arranged marriage. Sunshine smiled sparingly at her father and nodded. The truth is that she does not know how to deal with the Chairman’s young son. Apart from the fact that she is several months older than Adrian, the aura of his personality is also intimidating. She is ashamed to be part of his family and shrinks at herself. “Be humble and be true to yourself, daughter. Adrian seems grumpy and domineering. But he is kind and loving, just exactly like his father.” Ben stroked the girl’s hair. It’s been six years since Sunshine is being in his guardiancy.Sunshine’s real mother was sick then so she was forced to leave her at Teddy’s family. But the wife of his friend who has passed away could not accept the kid. After all, because he also wanted to have a child, he adopted her.“Dad, how about Jessica?” Ben sighed, Jessica is Teddy’s daughte
Sunshine was silent again when they faced their parents in the living room. She had no other family members there apart from the couple that adopted her. Her real mother is at peace even though the chairman had helped her for the treatment.“Are we late?”Sunshine turned around in shock at the newcomer. When she looked at the people there, they seemed to be expecting the arrival of the new guest. She watched Adrian carefully, he also seemed to know that Jessica and her mother were coming. “We got stuck in heavy traffic.” Janice and Jessica hugged and kissed Shaina and Lucita alternately.“Hello, sister, you are beautiful and sexy now!” Jessica greeted Sunshine enthusiastically. Sunshine smiled at her sister and accepted her kiss. “Thank you, you too.” Ben ordered their assistant to bring out the dessert for everyone. Janice also called suddenly and said she was coming. “Hello, aunt, how are you?” Jessica greeted Adrian’s mother kindly. “I’m good, dear. I didn’t know you had retur
“Who do you think is the lucky girl who has been married to the son of one of the billionaires in the country?”Sunshine heard that almost everyone present in the cafeteria was talking about their marriage.“She’s lucky but she’s also pitiful because she can’t be introduced to the public. It’s probably just an arranged marriage and there’s no love between them,” another commented.“But speaking of luck, look who’s with the weird girl now.” Sunshine shook her head at the girl’s last words. She lowered her voice but still reached her ears. She knew that she was the one being talked about now and that she was with someone else. Tristan clenched his fist while bowing his head. “Did he come here too?”Sunshine nodded with her mouth closed. She knew that he was sulking because she had just told him about her marriage with Adrian. It has been three days since the twins’ birthday. His friend didn’t go so he didn’t know what happened. But there was a picture of her and Adrian holding hands a
“Alexander, don’t compare that child to all the girls that you have made your toy. Because even if she’s just a maid’s daughter, I value them so much, and I consider them part of our family!”Alexander smiled after remembering what his grandmother told him. She still didn’t believe what he answered to her, but she still gave him the information he asked for.“Do you see something funny in my face?”Alexander blinked. He didn’t realize that he was stunned while staring at the girl’s face. He continued chewing before answering her. “Why are you so beautiful, baby?”“Alexander, how many times should I have to remind you not to call me baby because I’m older than you?” She complained angrily to the young man. “Alright, then let’s get into the point; say yes so you can be my girlfriend and I can be your boyfriend before I change our endearment.”“What? Are you insane? Are you courting me for you to say that to me?” She glared at him. So, this is how Alexander thought of them? Alexander s
Ava angrily hit the young man on the arm with her hand when she recognized him. If she only had a heart disease, she might have been attacked because of frightening her.“Ouch, baby!” Alexander caressed his arm even though it didn’t hurt.“Moron! Why do you have to drag me here without a word?” She glared at the young man. The Jew just grinned at her. It’s so good to smack his face. But she immediately reprimanded herself, and something else came to her mind.“When I say come with me here, will you come willingly?” Alexander’s asked at the girl philosophically.Ava glared at the young man. It is obvious what her answer will be to his question. Of course, it’s a no. What will be the reason for her to come here and to the private office that only the chairman uses? Even if it is said that the chairman is his father, it is still embarrassing.It was his first time to enter that room, and she couldn’t stop her own eyes from wandering to the beautiful staff inside the office. She looked at
Miranda was once again impressed with Alexander when he perfected the exam. He’s not just handsome, but he’s also smart. Brix is not lagging behind either, but he has five mistakes. And her? Here she is; her score hangs in the balance like the rest of her classmates. It doesn’t matter; the important thing is that she still has something to be proud of, and that is the beauty of her face and body.“Girl, are you serious about Alexander being your birthday escort?” Julie asked in a whisper.“Yes, it’s easy to change the invitation.” She smiled and knew that her mother would give her everything she wanted because she was her only daughter. Her brothers also love her and are ready to fight when she is hurt.“The question is, will he agree?” Julie asked her friend teasingly.Miranda glared at her friend; they had free time, so they had time to chat. They went to the canteen and looked for Alexander, but they couldn’t find him.“Ms. Ava, a present has arrived for you, and it’s at the facult
After entering the classroom, Ava immediately looked around. The first person she saw was Brix. He seems to be calm now and not drawing attention to her. Good thing then; maybe he realized it because she slapped him yesterday.The next thing he looked for was Alexander. She frowned when she saw that the young man’s seat was empty. She looked at the others there, and the young man might have just moved seats. But she was just disappointed, and he wasn’t there. She looked at the clock hanging on the wall. The class will start in just three minutes. She didn’t want to spoil her day so much, so she unfolded the papers and turned on the laptop.“Am I late?” Alexander asked from the doorway, gasping for air.Ava suppressed the smile that wanted to appear on her lips when she saw Alexander. His hair was messy, obviously not combed, but she would admit it that he was still handsome despite his messy look. He looks like a bad boy, but it fits on him. “Next time you will enter earlier,” she sai
It was late at night when the gathering ended. They also slept there in their grandfather’s mansion. This gathering of them rarely happens. He hung out for a while on the terrace facing the garden and thought.“Brother!”He turned to his cousin Terence. This is the eldest son of his aunt Trisha. “Why aren’t you asleep yet?”“I just wanted to ask something.”Alexander stared at his cousin. He is only fifteen years old, and his sibling that is younger than him is older than Terence.“Brother, how old were you when you had sex with a girl?”Alexander seemed to choke on his own saliva and stared at his cousin. “Have you never had sex with a girl?”“Tsk, I’m not like you, who is a womanizer and a pervert.”Alexander grinned and placed his right palm on his cousin’s shoulder. Like him, Terence is also a big man. There’s no mistaking him as a teenager. “You want me to teach you how to please a woman?”“You think I can do it at this age?” Terence looked doubtful.“Of course! I was only fourte
The whole family is complete in Travis’ old mansion. His grandchildren are also complete because it’s their grandma’s birthday. There are guests, but only close friends and relatives. This is exactly how Shaina’s birthday is, and she hasn’t liked many people celebrating her birthdays ever since.“Grandma, happy birthday! I’m sorry I’m a little late.” Alexander kissed his grandmother’s forehead.Shaina smiled and hugged her grandson. “It’s fine, grandson, and I know you’re a young man now, so it’s normal that you’re doing something else.”Alexander grinned, and his grandmother really knew him.“But what I heard is that you have fenced a woman in at your university, so you entered there even though you didn’t have to?” Travis said, sitting in a wheelchair.Alexander scratched his neck and looked shyly at his grandfather. When it comes to women, his grandfather was strict, and for him, he became rebellious.“Is she the one who will make you wiser?” Travis asked.“I guess I got karma from
“Go away, and maybe someone else will see us.” She pushed the young man away.Alexander sighed as he watched the girl closely. “I will sleep in your place again later, and maybe that drug addict will try to harm you again tonight.”“No, you can’t!” She refused, shaking her head slowly, which darkened the aura of the young man’s face. “Look, maybe someone will recognize you and see you entering my apartment.” She explained to him so as not to get angry with her or misunderstand her refusal.“If I go to another university, will you not stop me from getting close to you?”She was once again confused about what to say to the young man. Because he’s naughty, and she knows that he’ll do what he thinks when she says yes.“But I don’t want to leave you here, especially with that idiot being around you.” Alexander regained his composure when he thought of Brix.She suppressed a smile when Alexander’s face revealed the problem he was thinking about. His forehead was still furrowed as he thought
Ava looked at the person who pulled her in shock, and it almost hugged her.“Are you okay?”She nodded absentmindedly in response to Alexander’s question. He spoke very gently, and it was as if she were an unbreakable crystal from the way he touched her. But when he faced Brix, he suddenly looked like a demon, ready to kill the person in front of him.“Asshole! You really want to get hurt?”Ava quickly grabbed the young man’s arm when he tried to attack Brix. “Please, don’t make a mess, or I might get suspended here!” She pleaded with the young man in a low voice.Brix laughed because Alexander couldn’t rush him. “What? Are you already under the skirt? Is that why she likes you more because she can fit you under her skirt?” He asked insultingly.Ava quickly let go of Alexander and angrily approached Brix. She couldn’t control herself anymore and slapped the man. “You’re not just rude; you have no respect for someone like me! Don’t bring your bad behavior to school because I’m not like
“Are you insulted?” Brix continues to tease Alexander. “Did you know that our dean is married?”Alexander clenched his fist, but he still approached the man with a smile. “It looks like you haven’t brushed your teeth since you got out of jail last night, and your mouth stinks, dude.”Suddenly, the smile on Brix’s lips was erased, and he gave Alexander an angry look. “You animal! So you are the one who sent the police to where I was staying last night?”Alexander grinned and put his hands in both pockets of his trousers. “I can do anything, so don’t try me. I can even take down your father if you fight against me!”Brix’s jaws are clenching even more with anger. His suspicion is clear now. However, he didn’t want to show Alexander that he felt worried because of his threat. Then he laughed because of the last thing he said. “You don’t seem to know my father, and you talk about him just like that?”Smiling, Alexander approached the man and slightly brought his head closer to him before
