Tempted By A Handsome Stranger 15. Misunderstanding
"Byan! Put me down!"As they made their way to the parking lot, Kia kept screaming and struggling. But Byan, as if deaf and uncaring, continued striding confidently with Kia slung over his shoulder."BYAN! PU--"Kia let out a shocked cry when suddenly Byan did put her down. He pressed her back against the side of his black Rubicon, his arms trapping her body between his own and the car.His dark, starless eyes bored into Kia’s clear brown ones, his gaze piercing through her in a way that always made Kia freeze, as if she was hypnotized by the overpowering aura radiating from him."Is this what you always do, Kia? Running off to clubs and drinking when something's wrong, instead of trying to solve it rationally, hmm?"Kia blinked three times, trying desperately to shake off the effect of Byan’s penetrating gaze and his husky voice that was making her stomach flutter.She cursed herself for once again falling into Byan’s seductive trap, even though she knew she should hate him for his l

Byan drove down the highway at a steady speed. His dark eyes occasionally glanced to the side, where the beautiful figure beside him was fast asleep. A faint smile spread across his lips. Relief filled his chest as he reached out, gently brushing the long black hair that cascaded over the girl’s shoulders.Kia was likely still under the influence of the alcohol she had drunk, making her sleep deeply. Byan was incredibly grateful he had found Kia in time. He would have been furious, perhaps destroyed Bara, if his stepbrother had dared lay a hand on her.Now that the misunderstandings were starting to clear up, Byan felt free. Kia had learned about Alana, and he loved her reaction—crying upon hearing the story of his late wife.Behind all her teasing and wild behavior, Kia was truly sweet. She was also incredibly sincere and vulnerable. She was just good at hiding it, making people misjudge her.Byan’s mind drifted back to the first time he had met her at the club, when Kia had been s

"Alex, it hurts!" Kia screamed as Alex yanked her long hair and dragged her from the car towards the VIP elevator. Tears welled up in Kia's eyes, reflecting the pain in her scalp from being pulled so hard and the constant disrespect she endured from Alex. Kia kicked Alex's leg with all her might, hoping to fight back, but it only fueled his anger. With deliberate force, Alex pulled Kia's long hair even harder, forcing her head down. The girl was forced to walk unsteadily, her head bowed. "Alex!" Kia screamed again. She tried to claw at Alex's hand that was yanking her hair, but the man seemed impervious to pain and continued to drag Kia until they finally entered the iron box that was the VIP elevator. BRUUG!! Kia groaned softly as Alex slammed her body against the cold, hard elevator wall. The right side of her face that hit the wall throbbed, and even her ears were ringing. Kia shook her head slowly as her vision blurred. She was dizzy. In fact... there was blood dripping fro

Kia's arrival caused a small commotion among her colleagues. After disappearing for a week without a trace and reappearing with a face full of bruises, it was only natural that her friends would be curious. She just smiled and shook her head when they asked if someone had hurt her, making up a story about falling. She didn't care if they believed it or not. Whatever. The girl began to gather the documents she thought she would need for the meeting later. Alex had said earlier that he would meet with the nightclub owner, right? So Kia searched for documents related to the entertainment business that Alex might need. It seemed that this was a new client who wanted to use Alex's legal consulting services. When Kia was ready and about to stand up to go to the meeting room, Alex had already stood in front of the Junior Staff room door to pick her up. A cynical smile played on the man's lips as he saw Kia standing in front of him. "I thought you had gone home and run away again," he

"Why are you still standing there, Kia? Come here and sit next to me," Byan said, laughing silently at Kia's pale face and the shocked expression that was so obvious on Alex's face.Kia swallowed hard, her throat tightening as she heard Byan's deep, husky voice reverberate through the air. It sent a shiver down her spine, leaving her body trembling."You two know each other?" Alex was the most surprised by his client’s statement, calling Kia by her name as if they were already familiar. He frowned and looked sharply between Byan and Kia."Know each other?" Byan repeated, raising one thick eyebrow as he met Alex’s gaze. "Kia is the only reason I chose Guntoro & Partners Law Firm to consult on my club, Beautiful Paradise," he said bluntly. "I believe you owe her a thank you, Mr. Alex. She’s the one who convinced me."Kia remained silent, unsure of what to say. My God, how stupid could she be to think the man she slept with was nothing more than a gigolo—when in fact, he was a CEO!Aaarg

Kia let out a soft sigh as she gazed at the meeting room door that had remained closed for quite some time. What were Byan and Alex discussing? Why was it taking so long?A burning curiosity lingered in her mind, but Kia decided against eavesdropping. Whatever those two men were talking about, it was none of her business. She was only here to wait for Byan, to confront him directly about why he had hidden his true identity from her all this time.Ugh. How frustrating. Byan had made her look like a fool, making her think he was just a bartender and a gigolo... when in fact, he was the owner of Beautiful Paradise, the biggest nightclub in the city.When the sound of the door opening finally reached her ears, Kia immediately turned her head toward it. She exhaled in relief as she saw Byan stepping out. Her long, graceful strides carried her toward him.Byan smiled at the sight of the beautiful woman walking toward him. Even though Kia's face was scrunched up in a frown, she still looked

The luxurious car carrying Byan and Kia had just entered the airport complex. Kia gazed out the window, still in disbelief that Byan had really brought her here under the pretense of taking her out to lunch in Bali!Her brows furrowed even more when she noticed the car entering an area of the airport she'd never seen before. Where was this? She wasn’t aware there was a new departure terminal, different from the ones she had visited before.Her surprise only deepened when she realized Byan had driven them to a parking area reserved exclusively for passengers boarding private jets!((Welcome to the Saphire Precious Lounge)). Kia read the sign on a large flyer before Byan took her hand and led her inside. They walked toward an executive lounge meant for passengers renting private jets."Good afternoon, Mr. Byantara," greeted a young, beautiful woman in a flight attendant's uniform, her tone polite and respectful. "The plane is ready if you'd like to depart now, or perhaps you'd prefer to

Tempted By A Handsome Stranger 34. Convinced
“Morning, my sexy wifey.”A deep voice whispered gently in her ear, stirring Kia awake.As she stretched and yawned, Byan’s lips started trailing kisses across her chest, making Kia chuckle softly. She smiled, running her fingers through his thick hair as he remained absorbed in his exploration, showing no sign of stopping.“Byan.”“Hm?”Kia hesitated for a moment, trying to find the right words. But she eventually gave up—her pregnancy made her head feel a bit fuzzy in the mornings, and heavy thinking wasn’t ideal.“Uh… how long are we staying here?” Kia finally voiced the question that had been circling in her mind.“Here?” Byan lifted his head from her chest, eyebrows raised. “You mean in Bali? Or the resort?”“In Bali. I mean, how long are we staying in Bali,” Kia clarified quickly. She knew this resort held a deep meaning for Byan, and honestly, she felt comfortable here too.But she also missed Jakarta. Isn’t that where they actually lived? Lately, though, it seemed like Byan wa
Tempted By A Handsome Stranger 33. A Special Moment
Perfect. Kia couldn’t find a more fitting word to describe everything that was happening today… flawless. Everything she laid her eyes on seemed so beautiful and mesmerizing. White flowers, soft pinks, pale yellows, and light blues adorned the entire room, decorating her wedding venue with a delicate elegance. Her tired brown eyes blinked slowly, as if in disbelief of the words she had just said in her mind. Her wedding. For the past week, she had been hospitalized as the doctor had ordered complete bedrest to safeguard her still-fragile pregnancy. Then, once she was cleared to return home, three days later Byan invited her aunt and uncle, Burhan and Ana, to come to Bali. They were Kia’s only remaining family after her father passed away when she was a child, and her mother followed a few years ago. Even though Kia had already called them to share the news, they were still utterly shocked when a luxury car arrived to take them to the airport, where a private jet awaited to fly
Tempted By A Handsome Stranger 32. Second Chance
Kia took a deep breath before slowly opening her eyes. Her head rested comfortably on Byan's arm, and the warmth of his embrace, like a living blanket that had held her tightly all night, made her feel as though he never wanted to let go. For once, Kia was the first to wake up, still wrapped in the afterglow of their passionate lovemaking. She glanced up at Byan’s handsome face, still peacefully asleep. A smile formed on her full lips, as she recalled the words he had repeatedly whispered to her the night before. "I love you, Kia." Remembering his deep, masculine voice uttering those words so tenderly sent a wave of happiness through her soul. She knew she would never tire of hearing that sentence, not as long as it came from Byan’s lips. Could falling in love really feel this wonderful? It felt as if a lifetime in this world would be too short, and Kia didn’t want her time to end as long as she remained in Byan’s warm embrace. Byan made her feel valued, especially
Tempted By A Handsome Stranger 31. My Destiny
The door opened from the outside, allowing two figures to step into the Presidential Suite. They both walked in silence toward the master bedroom, despite the noise of thoughts racing in their minds. “I need to make a call,” Byan said to Kia, who had been following him closely, her hand still in his grip. The girl nodded slowly with a small smile. “I’ll wait for you on the balcony.” “You don’t have to go anywhere, Kia. This conversation isn’t a secret,” Byan stated firmly, his dark eyes locking onto hers, trying to decipher what she was thinking, as she had grown unusually quiet. “It’s okay, Byan. I just want to get some fresh air,” Kia replied, her tone giving an excuse. Byan remained silent for a moment, his gaze fixed on her beautiful face and enchanting smile. However, he knew deep down that Kia was hiding something behind that expression. 'That damn Bara! This is all his fault,' Byan cursed inwardly. Yes, Bara’s arrival at the family dinner had worsened an already tense
Tempted By A Handsome Stranger 30. A Tense Dinner
Byan and Kia walked together towards the VIP section of the restaurant, a luxurious private room that could accommodate up to 25 people.Tonight, Kia looked truly stunning. Her makeup perfectly accentuated her already flawless beauty, and the black off-shoulder dress Byan had bought for her fit her figure perfectly.Despite her impeccable appearance, her heart was pounding relentlessly, even though Byan kept reassuring her that there was nothing to worry about."There they are," Byan pointed at a group of people standing and chatting, each holding a cocktail.Clinging to Byan's right arm, Kia tried to walk gracefully, even though she felt as if she might trip over her own feet from the nervousness.A young woman, strikingly beautiful and around Kia's age, was the first to notice Byan and Kia’s arrival. Her eyes widened, and she quickly moved toward them."Byan!" The young woman’s radiant smile was as bright as the morning sun, drawing everyone's attention to the couple."Hello, Nai."
Tempted By A Handsome Stranger 29. The Meeting
Byan opened the door to his Presidential Suite when he heard the soft chime of the doorbell.After making sure the blanket was snugly covering Kia's body and confirming that she was still sound asleep, Byan quickly stepped out of the master bedroom and headed for the door."Hello, good evening, Byan," greeted a smiling face from behind the door.Byan returned the middle-aged man’s friendly smile. "Please, come in, Dr. Indra," he said, gesturing him inside.Dr. Indra had been the on-call medical officer at the Samudra family resort for many years. The two of them then entered and sat on the large dark-brown leather sofa.Dr. Indra placed his medical bag on the table and took a long look at the bandage wrapped around Byan’s right hand, now stained with blood seeping through the fabric."May I see your hand?" he asked.Byan raised his injured hand, glanced briefly at the blood-soaked bandage, and extended it toward the doctor."Well, well, have you been working too hard with that injured
Tempted By A Handsome Stranger 28. A Painful Love
"I'm okay, Baby. Please don't cry anymore, alright?" Byan gently wiped away the tears streaming from Kia's tired, brown eyes. The girl hadn’t stopped crying, her tears flowing uncontrollably since earlier—an overwhelming mix of relief and lingering shock. "I-I can’t... can’t stop, Byan. My tears... they just keep falling..." The girl, with her long hair disheveled from crying, was still sobbing when Byan pulled her close into his arms. Kia instantly wrapped her arms around his waist, seeking comfort. Her eyes, wet and shining with tears, gazed up at Byan sorrowfully. "I'm so relieved you managed to defeat them, Byan. But at the same time... your hand... hic..." Kia shifted her gaze to Byan's right hand, which was wrapped in bandages. His hand had been injured when Byan instinctively blocked a knife aimed at his head. Kia’s crying only grew louder, which made Byan chuckle softly. "Hey, it’s just a minor injury, Kia. I’ll be fine in a few days. You heard the doctor yourself, didn’t

Married??Kia suddenly froze in speechless silence upon hearing Byan's words.Did Byan just propose to her? Did she hear him right? But... how could it be? Haven't they only known each other for a few weeks?Okay, maybe more than just a few weeks. Almost two months, to be exact. Two months!!"Uhm, Byan—""You don’t have to answer right now, sweetheart." A soft chuckle escaped Byan’s lips as he watched Kia, confused and seemingly lost for words. So adorable."I’ll wait for your answer, no matter how long it takes, and trust me... I will never change my mind or take back my proposal," he said, smiling as he gazed into Kia's beautiful eyes."But... are you really sure you want to marry... me?" Kia asked, her curiosity piqued."I’ve never been this sure about any decision in my life," Byan replied with unwavering conviction."But... isn’t it a little... uhm...""What? Impulsive?" Byan finished Kia’s hesitant sentence with a blunt question.He then moved closer, their noses almost touching
Tempted By A Handsome Stranger 26. A Desire Born From The Heart
Kia could only sit still on Byan’s lap, her back resting helplessly against his hard, muscular chest. Her entire body felt utterly exhausted, yet the relentless thrusts from below forced soft moans from her lips, drowning her in the pleasure Byan had been giving her for what seemed like an eternity.The bed they had shared was now a mess, the sheets soaked in sweat and love’s essence. Finally, Byan picked her up, carrying her to the sofa to continue their fiery passion.Today, Byan was far more intense than ever before, driven by the immense relief of having shared the lifelong burdens he’d carried with Kia. His steps were lighter, his soul felt free.Only with Kia could he bare everything, to this beautiful woman now moaning with her eyes closed. Byan relished the feel of Kia’s smooth, sweat-slicked skin under his touch. Ah... it drove him wild. Making love to Kia always sent him into madness because her enticing body always felt divine.Byan gently grasped Kia’s chin, turning her
