It was the event of the power transition in Lostic. The day when Ariel was officially introduced as the new leader, ousting Mahardika, who had been in charge for three years, in a very short span of time.
This, of course, caused a stir here and there, raising doubts about the reasons for the seemingly forced change. Even when there was a specific reason, citing the company's inability to capitalize on the turmoil at a rival company, it seemed insufficient. In the end, sales were down, but the change felt very sudden. Without warning, Kurt called a shareholders' meeting, and there was Ariel.
Enjoying the sensation of the CEO chair for a few seconds, Ariel scanned the room, taking in every face. At each board member and other important figu

Elice did not answer right away. Instead, she quenched her thirst."My mom informed me that they're moving today," Elice replied and closed the bottle. She turned around with a surprised look on her face. "It happened so fast. I really didn't think it would be that fast.""Garrett chuckled once. "It wasn't me. It was Nana. And it's reasonable that it's all done in a few days. Nana doesn't like her wishes to go unfulfilled. Mr. Carolus knows that for sure."Listening to this, Elice could only nod once. Unwillingly, her mind wandered to the fact that Daphne had been visiting her often lately. It was clear evidence of Daphne's displeasure when her wishes were not granted."Oh yes. Since your family is moving today, it might be a good idea for you to tell them that you no longer live in your old apartment."Elice blinked when Garrett looked at her again."I guess you haven't told them yet, have you?"The guess was correct. Of course.

If she could refuse, Elice would certainly refuse the task Hollis had assigned her. Even though in the eyes of the public she and Ariel would be bound by a family relationship due to her impending marriage to Garrett, deep in her heart Elice did not feel that way. To her, Ariel was now nothing more than a stranger.But Elice could not refuse. For there was no reason she could give. And without a reason, the refusal would certainly not be accepted."Are you sure?" Garrett's voice on the evening phone call sounded worried, mirroring what Elice was feeling right now."I'm sure," Elice replied.She took a deep breath and tried to strengthen herself. And with Garrett's voice in her ear, it became easier."What time are you going to interview Ariel? At Lostic's office?"Garrett's question made Elice suspect the reason behind his furrowed brow. A little hesitant, but the possibility sounded reasonable."You're not planning on coming, are you

Freddy helped Elice tidy up her things. At that moment the clock showed half past nine in the evening."Are you coming home with me?"Elice's car was still at the garage, and she had come with Freddy earlier, but of course not for the return trip. Someone was waiting for her somewhere else.Elice shook her head. "Thanks, but no. I can take a cab from here.""Okay. If that's the case," Freddy said as he slung his backpack over his shoulder. "Going up front? Or are you still waiting for your cab?""I'm still waiting.""Good, then I'll go ahead. I don't want to get stuck in traffic."That was exactly what Elice was hoping for. Fortunately, Freddy was not the chatty type. Eventually he left, leaving Elice alone.Without wasting any more time, Elice grabbed her work bag and walked casually, intending to meet Garrett. But the face she met at the door made her eyes widen, along with a question."You haven't gone home yet?"

"I hear that you met Elice and Garrett a few nights ago? Is it true?"On a bright Sunday morning, Ariel had just finished his weekly practice when his parents arrived at his apartment. At first, he thought that Farrah and Kurt would be returning to Crestdale soon after their conversation, but it turned out that wasn't the case. Kurt wanted to observe Ariel's performance at Lostic for a while, so they decided to stay longer.Ariel took a deep breath. With the help of a small towel hanging around his neck, he wiped off the sweat. The moisture on his face disappeared instantly."Yes."Joining his parents, Ariel sat down and opened a bottle cap. He enjoyed its contents in a few gulps.Farrah glanced at Kurt briefly before returning her gaze to her son."What were you talking about?"Farrah was obviously curious. When she first heard the news, she had waited. She thought Ariel would tell her the details of the meeting. But as it turned out

"Don't be fooled like me."That one sentence echoed in Garrett's mind. Even after days had passed since that night, Daphne's voice saying it still rang clear in his ears. As if Daphne had repeated it many times.Of course, it made Garrett curious. But when he wanted to inquire further that night, Daphne gently refused. She decided to sleep instead. As a result, Garrett was plagued by curiosity for days.And today, as his wedding approached, Garrett decided not to dwell on it. He wanted to clear his head. To prepare himself for the important day that was soon to come.A ringing phone interrupted Garrett's brief reverie. He answered the call immediately. It was from Sherly."Hello, sir. Mr. Nelson would like to see you."Garrett's eyes widened. It was unexpected news. So, before Sherly could ask for his availability, he said, "Ask him to come in. And make us some coffee. Especially for him, latte.""Alright, sir."Garrett put the

Garrett could hardly believe what he heard. He even thought for a moment that there were two possibilities at that moment. The first was that he had misheard. The second was that Nelson had misspoken.However, judging from Nelson's facial expression, it could be concluded that he didn't mispeak. His face looked serious, with traces of sadness accompanying it. And did that mean Garrett hadn't misheard?Garrett needed reassurance."W-what did you say?" Garrett asked. "About Aunt Farrah?"Nelson took a deep breath. His face, showing signs of aging, looked tired. It was as if he had been forced to return to a past that brought back painful memories."That's what Madam Daphne thinks. Because it's clear that Farrah has her own interests."Garrett's body froze. A cold sensation seemed to embrace him, almost making him tremble."Because of the inheritance."It wasn't hard for Garrett to guess the origin. Even though years had passed si

The wedding day was approaching. Since Daphne had no objection, the sacred event would take place on a cruise ship. And of course, it attracted the attention of the guests and the media crew.Garrett paid no attention. Even now, wedding matters seemed unimportant to him. No, it wasn't any sudden doubts that made Garrett feel this way; rather, his mind was now occupied with other things. He thought about his late father and all the conversations with Nelson the other day. And if that wasn't enough, the news about his father's accident and Daphne's strange behavior last night added to his mental fatigue.Garrett's anticipation of Farrah certainly added to it. After all, Daphne had warned him. With all this weighing on his mind, it was only logical that the wedding would become something that didn't really occupy his thoughts."Garrett?"Norah's voice snapped Garrett out of his reverie that morning. He realized that he hadn't even touched his breakfast. A li

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. There was nothing more Kurt could do."You killed our son, Farrah. You killed Ariel!"Farrah blinked. A tear that had been there for who knew h

Falling or trying to be able to. Struggling to stay upright when the fear becomes more pressing.Exactly what they felt. Family and loved ones when they heard what happened to Elice. 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. Something he deeply regretted when he heard Farrah's words."Ariel tapped me?"Ariel dramatically closed his eyes. Farrah knew he was tapping on his mother. And Ariel knew for sure that it was a bad thing.Ariel's worries intensified. With every word Far
