2024-01-12 22:05:40Because when Garrett finally found Elice, faced her and sat down with her, all the considerations and thoughts that accompanied Garrett seemed to disappear. More than that, he was curious about Elice's current situation. About her life now.
"Have you been well for the last six months?"
With just one glance, Garrett could feel the shock in Elice's eyes. But then she quickly regained control of herself. She seemed calm, although there was still a subtle tremor.
Garrett smiled faintly. "I've come to the club several times since that night. I thought you would come back and we could talk like that. But you never came back. It made me wonder."
"I'm fine," Elice replied with a returning smile. Despite her surprise at seeing Garrett again, she had to admit it. "Thank you."
"For asking about your well-being?"
Elice shook her head slightly. "No," she replied. "But thank you for tonight."
Elice's shoulders seemed to rise with rhythm for a momen

Garrett knew he was pathetic. But what could he do? Just meeting Elice made him feel messed up; he didn't want to add to the chaos.The idea of approaching Elice and marrying her Garrett put out of his mind. He didn't want to use Elice for his own interests. Though in reality Garrett wasn't sure. Did he really just want to use her, or was this just like a spark of gasoline on a flame?Indeed, Garrett couldn't forget Elice from that night. And the fact that he had to get married soon made Elice's image even stronger in his mind.There are several reasons why I shouldn't consider marrying Elice, apart from those two things. Elice is Ariel's ex-girlfriend and she has no feelings for me.Garrett closed the subject by lying down on his bed. He still had six months. And in six months, he knew. Anything could happen. Either he would find another woman or the opposite.That morning, Garrett, who had just come down from the second floor where his r

"Didn't I already tell you? Elice doesn't love you. She came to you because she wanted your money. She's only after your wealth, Ariel. And you don't believe what I say? Huh?! Love? Hahaha."At the dining table, where life should be as smooth as the food served there, Farrah was seen slamming a photo. Right next to Ariel's plate. Pausing his breakfast, the sight caused Ariel's focus to shift. To that portrait.Ariel picked up the photo with shaking hands. His eyes widened in disbelief at what he saw. Farrah chuckled and crossed her arms."Isn't that proof enough for you?" Farrah taunted her son. "Isn't this reason enough for you to open your eyes, Ariel? Oh my God! I told you repeatedly. Elice is just after your money. She's just liked any other common woman. Getting close to a rich man to secure her life."Ariel struggled to swallow. He shook his head, either trying to reject his mother's words or refusing to acknowledge the scene in the photo."D

Just by hearing her voice, Garrett could guess what had happened to Elice just by hearing her name. Of course, the woman was not in a good condition. And that immediately made him uneasy. "Elice," Garrett said her name. "Where are you now? Are you okay?" Inside the moving car, driven by his private chauffeur, Garrett couldn't contain the pressure. He had contacted Elice after learning that Daphne and Carolus had met her at his office. He was sure that Elice must be in shock. "I'm in the office, Garrett. And what is happening right now? I don't understand at all. Earlier there was an old lady..." Garrett dramatically closed his eyes. His jaw tightened immediately. "...talking about a lot of things I don't understand. Oh God. I'm really confused right now." Garrett took a deep breath. He had to stay calm. That was the most important thing right now. "I think we should get together, Elice." Amber, who was sitting right nex

Garrett's explanation didn't make Elice feel any better. On the contrary, she rose from her seat. With a terrified expression on her beautiful face, she shook her head repeatedly.Elice's feet took a step back. When Garrett also stood up, he immediately created a distance and did not allow him to approach her."Elice."Garrett's outstretched hand was powerless against the silent rejection Elice gave him. His large fingers hung in the air, unable to reach their target. Only to find the emptiness of the air.Elice shook her head again, trying to deny the reality that was now before her eyes. The reality that finally made her understand why her name had been spread everywhere in the form of humiliating articles."Is that why?" Elice asked incredulously. Her voice sounded shaky. "Is this all because you are getting married soon and I happened to be there?"Garrett really did not like the last question that came out of Elice's mouth. But of all t

The soft knock on the door made Elice lift her head. She turned to find Amber entering. With both hands apparently clasped together, the middle-aged woman seemed hesitant."Uh... it's late. I think you should eat. You haven't eaten all day, Elice."Eating was the last thing on Elice's mind. She didn't need it right now. What she needed was to be free of all these problems.Elice shook her head and declined the offer. "I'm fine. And I'm not hungry."Amber sighed deeply at the refusal. Not taking it lightly, she decided to step forward. She entered and approached Elice, who was sitting on the edge of the bed in a disheveled state."You need to eat to get through a situation like this. Getting sick is not good for you right now."What Amber said was true. However, Elice noticed that her stomach did not feel hungry at all. It was as if her body was collectively shutting down because her mind was being driven almost insane by the circumstances.

"W-what did you say, Ariel? Elice is your lover?"Daphne felt as if her body would collapse at any moment. But before that unfortunate event happened, Norah immediately approached her mother-in-law. She reached out and made sure the older woman didn't actually fall. Ariel's words had successfully caused both of her knees to wobble.Ariel chuckled. His face mocked Garrett as he looked at Daphne."Ah, turns out you didn't know, Nana?" Ariel asked with a teasing grin aimed at Garrett. "Elice is my girlfriend. We've been together a long time."Shock was immediately visible in Daphne's eyes as they turned to Garrett. The same was true for Norah. Both older women couldn't believe what Ariel was saying. But with such confidence on his face, who could doubt him?A small laugh escaped Ariel's lips. Then, ignoring any form of etiquette, he sighed once."So desperate, Garrett? To get all that wealth, you didn't even think twice about stealing my girlfr

"How could you not check?!"A shout greeted Carolus that morning. Just as he visited the Morales residence after learning of Daphne's condition. Thinking that Daphne was really sick as reported, he was not prepared for the anger that erupted right in front of his face."This woman is Ariel's ex-girlfriend! Why didn't you check her background?!"Carolus swallowed hard. His hands clasped in front of him in a polite and accepting posture. He made no attempt to evade the accusations he had received."I'm sorry, madam, but everything happened so fast yesterday, and—""Silence!"Daphne snapped. The traces of emotion were clearly visible on her aged face. Her breath was racing, a sign that the current situation was truly testing her limited patience."Well, what can we do? What can we do? The whole world knows about Garrett and Elice's relationship! Everyone knows, Carolus!"Daphne clenched her fists. Then she slapped the arm of

"Elice, I beg you. Don't do this."Trying to calm Elice down, Garrett tried to block her way. But Elice did not give up. She pushed Garrett away even though it had no effect. Garrett stood firm. His strength was obviously no match for Elice."No, Garrett. I beg you. Please, I want to go, Garrett. So don't stop me."Garrett held on to Elice. "Not in this condition, Elice. No. You're a mess, and I won't let you go with your mind in such chaos.""Oh, God! Please. Just let me go, Garrett," Elice demanded. Unfortunately, it was not enough for her to free herself from Garrett's restraints. "Don't you know what caused this mess?""I—""You!" Elice cut Garrett off. "You're the one who made a mess of everything. And it got even more chaotic when I found out that you're Ariel's cousin."Garrett could not move. At first glance, what Elice had said was true.However, everything had not completely fallen apart for Garrett. At least no

Farrah fell silent. Her face hardened and remained unmoved as the sad question was directed at her."Are you satisfied now?" Kurt stared at Farrah, his face and eyes red. Tears dried on his cheeks. "Are you happy now?" Kurt asked again. "Will you be satisfied only when Ariel is dead?"Farrah's breath caught in her chest for a moment. Her chest rumbled. Was Kurt really going to accuse her like that?"Kurt."Kurt's hand gripped Farrah's upper arm. He squeezed it with the fury of a father who had lost his son. Anger and sadness collided in his eyes."I told you, Farrah. I told you repeatedly. And now you see the consequences of your actions?"Kurt's shoulders trembled with painful sobs. Regret quickly filled his heart and mind. If only he could have stopped his wife. If only he had stayed there. If only. If only. If only.But it was all too late.

News that shattered common sense and elicited hysterical screams from everyone who heard it.Norah, Wilda and Rita walked fast. Navigating the corridors of the hospital.

"Ariel. Ariel. I beg you, Ariel."Elice shook Ariel's body. But Ariel didn't move at all. Completely still."Ariel, please."Elice let go of Ariel's hand. Just to touch his face. Just to feel that there was no feeling there.Ariel's eyes opened. Unblinking. Unfocused. Those eyes had lost their light. Faded. Gone. Leaving behind a reality that made Elice's tears flow uncontrollably.There was no breath. No more pulse. No more heartbeat. All signs of life were gone. Just as the soul had finally left its body."Ariel!" Elice sobbed. She embraced Ariel's lifeless body. Holding it tight. "Ariel, please."No matter how hard Elice shook the body in her embrace, she received no response. The rigid body remained motionless. Crushing any hope Elice had clung to.Ending in a hug full of devastation that made Elice cry even harder. Allowing Ariel's blood and her tears to mix into one."Ariel."Elice's voice was filled with fear. A pain she had never imagined before. For in that moment, Ariel was

Ariel winced. Ignoring the pain in his stomach, he tried to stand up. But as soon as his body was lifted slightly from the ground, he fell again."Ariel!"Elice screamed when she saw Ariel's condition. He looked at her. He tried to speak."I-I'm okay."Elice shook her head. She knew for sure that Ariel wasn't okay right now. His condition was truly pitiful. But compared to that, there was something even more pitiful. That was her inability to do anything about it."Do you see that, Elice?" Farrah's voice made Elice turn around. The expression of hatred towards her was clearly overflowing. "Because of you," Farrah said in a trembling voice. "Ariel dares to defy me. His own mother."Elice shook her head. She tried to stand, but her legs felt completely powerless. Not to mention walking, even standing still was difficult for her."You are such a troublemaker, Elice. I should have gotten rid of you a long time ago."Farrah moved. She approached Teddy with an outstretched hand. The man qui

For a moment, darkness was all Elice could feel. Until voices touched her senses. Awakening her consciousness. Pushing her to open her eyes.Elice's eyelids fluttered. Blinking repeatedly. Trying to open. And a wrinkle formed on her forehead.The voice was familiar. Causing Elice's eyes to focus even more. To look around. The place where she was right now.Elice wasn't sure where she was right now. The place seemed untidy. Untouched by humans and neglected for a long time.Dirty. Dusty. And Elice's eyes widened when she realized where she was lying. On the cold floor full of footprints."Of course, I can do that, Ariel! I will do anything to achieve my goals. Anything. Even if I have to get rid of Elice!"Elice turned away. Trying to get up, but unable to, she could only look straight ahead. At the three human figures that seemed to be in conflict.It was Ariel, Farrah and... Elice's body froze with cold fear. She would never forget that face.Teddy. The man who claimed to be Randi's

Running his hands through his hair in escalating panic, Ariel prayed that he could get there in time. But the looming shadow of his own potential lateness drove him almost mad with fear.I have to stop Mama. I'll do anything to make sure Mama can't hurt Elice anymore.Ariel blinked. He realized something and immediately contacted two different people.The first was Garrett. Reluctantly, Ariel once again ignored all the arguments between them. None of it mattered when Elice's safety was at stake with every decision he made.However, contacting Garrett didn't immediately ease Ariel's mind. For Ariel knew exactly what Farrah was like. The middle-aged woman who was his biological mother would not hesitate to act again. To do anything to ensure that all her desires were fulfilled.Farrah wouldn't stop. No. Not until she had everything she wanted.Ariel wouldn't take that chance. So, he contacted the second person. And that was Ruben, his husband."Ruben, listen to me."Ariel took a deep br

When the car with Elice was already on the road, two other cars hurriedly followed. Together with the car Carolus was riding in, there were a total of four cars involved in the trip. Two cars with specially trained personal guards walked in front and behind to protect Elice and Carolus inside.The four vehicles moved in line at a regular and almost steady speed. Ready to take Elice and Carolus to their next destination. Namely, the boarding school under the care of the Morales Family Foundation.A bright day. As the sun began to roll toward the west, the weather was not as hot as it had been. It felt cooler."Are you thirsty, Madam?"Teddy's voice caught Elice's attention. Elice wanted to shake her head to answer the question, but instead she heard Teddy talking to her again."Maybe some water will soothe madam's throat."Elice looked at the bottle of mineral water. Somehow, she, who had not felt thirsty at all, suddenly felt the opposite. Suddenly, a feeling of dryness appeared and m

Ariel's eyes widened. The worry came back. Exactly the same as yesterday.Ariel could not ignore it. He suddenly stood up from his seat. An action so sudden that it immediately stopped Wijono's presentation.Everyone looked confused as they saw Ariel leave the meeting room without saying a word, causing whispers and panic among them.And as the secretary, Nikita could not say anything either. She could only reassure the meeting participants that everything was fine.Of course, it was not. Everything was far from okay. When Ariel returned to his room, he quickly turned on his laptop. He quickly put on his headphones and listened to another recording.A recording that Ariel had almost forgotten due to the euphoria of relief he had felt.

And Ariel knew for sure that it was a bad thing.Ariel's worries intensified. With every word Far
