2024-01-18 23:39:55Elice's guess was undoubtedly correct. For Garrett didn't see any surprise on the beautiful woman's face.
"I never expected things to turn out like this. That Nana would meet you and ask you to marry me."
Elice blinked. Even if she could guess where the conversation would lead that night, she still was not ready to discuss it.
"I won't pressure you, Elice. Don't worry. I know this is the strangest way for two people to be bound in marriage. And whatever your decision is, I'll deal with it."
Frankly, a marriage pushed by Daphne was a good thing for Garrett. The man was clearly interested in Elice. Coupled with the diminishing time he had every day. But Garrett tried to suppress his selfishness.
Marriage was always about two people. Even when two people had the same commitment, storms would still come. In the form of family and loved ones who sometimes felt more important. What about this one?
"What about your decision then, Garrett?"

Elice was now twenty-nine years old. She was no longer a teenage girl easily swayed by the sweet words of a man. Life experiences and a difficult journey had shaped her heart. No man's words could be trusted. Not even Garrett.Elice had proven it. She had even accused him without blinking an eye. That he was using her and working with Ariel. Even though in reality it was an empty accusation. Garrett was not who she thought he was. But Elice realized how her thoughts about men had changed. There was no longer an Elice who thought positively. There was only Elice who tried to be careful.Elice knew that she had to protect herself. She could not rely on anyone. Especially not on a man she had not even known for a year."I knew you wouldn't believe me."Garrett spoke calmly. He did not seem surprised by Elice's reaction. There was a frown on his forehead, a hint of a disbelieving smile and a subtle snort."And I'm not going to ask you to trust me," Gar

Daphne snapped. She rose from the sofa, her back straight. As if preparing to face her opponent."You clearly know this is connected to me, Elice. Everything from Garrett to Ariel, whether you like it or not, will connect you to me. It's your destiny. You cann’t do anything for that."It feels as if Elice really wants to eliminate this one word from her life's dictionary. Fate? Elice feels that fate has never given her anything good. Only problems and tears."I don't know if you feel arrogant or what, but believe me. I will not force you to marry Garrett unless circumstances force me to.""Then don't," Elice replied without hesitation. "I'm sure there is no woman out there who would refuse Garrett's proposal. A man who is currently at the top of his game. With a great family background, I'm sure no woman would think twice about accepting him.""At least you can see that clearly."Elice felt her face suddenly stiffen at this sarcastic r

The facts shook Elice to the core. It was deeply surprising for her to face it. That Daphne was behind all the chaos. And now a question arose in Elice's mind. Does Garrett know?As if Elice had said it, Daphne seemed to growl. "Of course, Garrett doesn't know."Daphne really seemed to have the ability to read her interlocutor's mind. Something clearly made Elice shiver. Now she fully realized that Daphne was not to be underestimated."He is too absorbed in his work. Unfortunately, I only add to his burden. Uh... you won't mention this to him, will you?"It was not a casual question. It was an implied threat. Thanks to the newly acquired facts, Elice was able to gauge what kind of person Daphne really was.Elice shook her head. Daphne smiled."So... I think we've come to an agreement. You are still going to marry Garrett," Daphne said with a meaningful smile on her face. "How about that?"Could Elice back out at this point?

"Looks like a bright day."A comment Garrett received as he stepped out of the elevator made him cough for a moment. He turned to see Amber and Sherly greeting him."Good morning, sir."Garrett nodded at his two secretaries in unison. Then his briefcase changed hands and Amber took it."Good morning."Upon entering his office, Garrett, as usual, took off the jacket he was wearing and handed it to Amber to hang. That was when Amber spoke."I've rescheduled the meeting with Mr. Hugo for three nights from now, sir."Garrett loosened his tie slightly, turned on the computer, and nodded nonchalantly."Good."Amber scrolled through the tablet screen in her hands, carefully examining Garrett's schedule. Then she noticed something that was bothering her. About ten days from now, on the weekend to be exact.With a hint of hesitation, Amber raised her face to look at her boss, who seemed ready to start work that morning.

No matter how much Elice pleaded, it seemed to have no effect on Ariel, whose eyes had gone dark. His reason was gone, all blinded by the dark desire that forced Elice to resist relentlessly. He continued, undeterred, even when his efforts caused the table to break, he persisted. All to free himself from Ariel's grasp."Ariel, please. Stop!"Instead of stopping his actions, Ariel became more eager. One of his hands moved, grabbing the sleeve of Elice's shirt, and ripping it with a single tug. He did not care if his nails left scratches on her smooth skin.Elice screamed. The pain and fear made her even more afraid."No, Ariel. Please don't do this."Ariel grinned and held the torn piece of shirt to her nose, sniffing the scent.A shiver ran through Elice's body. Stiffly, she tried to shake her head, knowing she was hoping for the impossible."Don't, Ariel. I beg you, don't do this to me."But these pleas would be useless. They

Garrett had to calm himself before he could comfort Elice. But Elice's broken sobs in his embrace nearly shattered the usual calm that clung to him. Truly, he felt a threatening tightness that seemed ready to explode and crush his chest in the near future. It was agonizing.Elice's screams, tears, and the tightness of her hands wrapped around him, along with her face landing on his chest, were a perfect combination to darken Garrett's eyes. He would not ask what had happened. The fear and suffering Elice was going through was so vivid to Garrett."G-Garrett."Even her trembling voice conveyed unmistakably all the horrors that had enveloped Elice. Her body was cold. It felt so fragile."A-Are you okay?"Garrett's voice trembled just as much as Elice's, but for different reasons. While Elice was afraid, Garrett was angry.On Garrett's chest, Elice tried to nod, to give an answer without words. But it seemed useless. For Garrett clearly knew th

Ariel ran his hands through his wet, sweaty hair. His breath was heavy and his heart was racing. His body felt like it wanted to explode in the burning heat. As time passed, the fire inside him seemed to burn even brighter."Ariel, please. Stop!""No, Ariel. Please don't do this.""Don't, Ariel. I beg you, don't do this to me."Ariel closed his eyes tightly and shook his head repeatedly as his hands clenched and pulled at his own hair. His body became even more drenched in the pouring sweat that poured over him."No. No. No."Elice's image flashed through his mind. The terrified face could not be erased from his mind. Even when he closed his eyes, the scene became even clearer."I truly regret ever loving you. You are never worthy of love."And among those haunting memories, it was those two sentences that made Ariel lose control. Suddenly, with a menacing tone, he rose from his seat and swep

When Elice accepted Garrett's invitation, she had no idea of the consequences of her answer. That by agreeing to be Garrett's date to Brenda's birthday party, she would have to go through a series of activities. From picking out a dress, shoes, and a bag. Then moving on to checking out the salon and identifying some specific allergies she might have related to beauty products."One of the advantages of having exotic skin," Elice said with a stiff expression. "Usually more tolerant of allergies."The middle-aged woman serving Elice at the time was the manager. When she heard that an important person was setting foot in Cantique Beauty, she decided to take matters into her own hands. Especially since she also received a direct call from her boss.Treat her well.

Amidst the drizzle of raindrops, there was a slender fingered hand that welcomed the droplets. Gathering them deliberately to feel the chill that accompanied the wetness against the skin.Chill.

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

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

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
