“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
