"It's impossible for a man to survive alone for decades, Garrett. Impossible."

Daphne collapsed into Garrett's chest and clung to the man's clothes with her eyes closed. She did not want to face reality, but the opposite was happening. The tighter she closed her eyes, the clearer the image became. It was a vivid picture of a past that would never fade, swallowed by time.

Garrett was stunned, frozen in a stillness that immobilized him. He couldn't move an inch.

"It is impossible for Allan to survive alone until death takes him, Garrett. It can't be."

Not a word escaped Garrett's lips. Despite Daphne's revelations, he could only remain silent. As Daphne told Garrett everything, he seemed to be struck by a reality he had never expected. A reality he had never seen, even though it had been right in front of him all along.

"Can you see it?" Daphne asked, her voice trembling through the flowing tears. "All his life there has never been another woman in Allan's life. Never anyone but Nor

    Allowing the tears to flow freely down her relaxed cheeks, Daphne fought with all her might to stop the sobs. But with each passing second, the opposite seemed to be happening. The cries and the pain sank deeper into her heart."Forgive me. Forgive me, Allan."The remorse grew rapidly, spreading to every corner of Daphne's heart. It made her realize the promise she had been forced to break. By revealing everything that had happened to Garrett, her long-held fears would finally come true. Garrett would feel compelled to peel away the layers covering the truth. He would embark on a journey of revenge. And that would lead to one of Daphne's fears. Garrett would be threatened. Just like Allan had experienced.But Daphne felt she was at the same crossroads, each option carrying its own risks. Dishonesty would leave Garrett unaware of who he was really dealing with. On the other hand, honesty would make Garrett feel the pressure of accountability.All this time, Daphne had only been able to

    And when the company was up and running again, Daphne found that Allan had to leave. It was a hard blow for Daphne. When she thought there was still someone standing tall with her, but in reality, her son was leaving her as well."What I was thinking at the time was you, Garrett. Trying to give in so that you and Norah could live in peace."Because it was painful to know, but that's what happened. Garrett and Norah were Allan and Daphne's happiness and also their weakest point."They're the last thing this family has."That's why Daphne tried so many things. To fulfill Allan's wishes for her family to be safe and happy. This included handing over some subsidiaries to her daughter. But greed is indeed a natural trait in every human being."Farrah wants something that is not rightfully hers," Daphne said, shaking her head. "And I can't give it to her."It was Pasific Energy. Because of Daphne and Allan's insistence on handing it over to Garrett, Allan ended up facing a gruesome death."

    Finally, Elice nodded. Without forgetting to say goodbye to Norah and some relatives there, she and Wilda left.When they arrived at the room, hot food and drinks were already prepared for Elice, thanks to Wilda, who was worried about her daughter's condition. She didn't hesitate to ask the housekeeper to prepare everything."You have to take care of yourself, Elice. I know this is hard. But don't neglect yourself."Quietly, Wilda watched her. Elice had eaten all day, but not much had gone into her stomach. It made Wilda worry about Elice's condition."Thank you, Mom. I'll remember."Wilda accompanied Elice and made sure that this time Elice really finished her dinner. And when her daughter felt tired, Wilda covered her with a blanket and did not leave until she was sure Elice was asleep.When Wilda left the room, she found the house still bustling with activity. In fact, some of Garrett's close relatives had decided to stay the night. And the housekeepers were promptly preparing room

    Amber left Garrett's office, leaving him alone. He was not working right away as usual, apparently the lingering grief was preventing him from concentrating. A single knock drew Garrett's attention to the door, which opened to welcome Carolus inside. As he approached Garrett, Carolus sat directly in front of him after a brief handshake. It was enough for him to notice how tired Garrett looked. His face seemed truly disheveled from the mixture of fatigue and sadness. "I apologize for keeping you waiting." "It's okay," Garrett replied quietly. "I'm actually grateful that you could find the time to come." It was a strange thing for Carolus. Something that made him wonder. And Garrett could read the expression clearly. The man's face looked cynical for a moment. "I can't trust anything back home. I don't want to take any chances with walls that have ears." Carolus understood. Thanks to the incident with Yocelyn and Regina, Garrett was undoubtedly more cautious now. Especially since

    Ariel sighed deeply as his car pulled up to the driveway. Quickly getting out and meeting a housemaid, Ariel inquired as to the whereabouts of his parents."Sir and madam are in the study."After receiving the answer, Ariel hurriedly climbed each step and went straight to the study. He knocked once before opening the door."Ariel."Farrah and Kurt were sitting across from each other, separated by a desk. They both looked at Ariel."What's going on?" Farrah asked as her son joined them. "Why did you come home so early? Shouldn't you be at work?"Ariel's face looked tired. He took off his jacket and laid it casually on the arm of the chair. He rested his head on the chair and massaged his temples."I just received the company's sales report for last month."Farrah looked at Kurt. Without speaking, the couple seemed to understand what was going on. Even without Ariel explaining it explicitly, they could guess what was going on."Actually, I amn't surprised that the company's sales haven'

    Ariel froze. He could not believe what his ears were hearing, but Farrah's words were crystal clear. But how could Ariel believe that?M-Mama?Trying to breathe in the sudden horror that coursed through his body, Ariel's body suddenly shook violently. He almost thought he wouldn't be able to hold on. He could have collapsed any moment. Because a question quickly appeared in his mind. An echo.H-How could it be? No. It's impossible that mom would kill Nana.Ariel tried to deny reality. But when he had witnessed it all with his own eyes and ears, what else could he do? Except do his best to get out of there. With dragging steps, as if he had no strength left.Clinging to the wall, Ariel felt an indescribable cold enveloping his entire body. It almost made him think he wouldn't be able to reach his car. And when he sat behind the wheel, instead of driving away immediately, he was stunned.Farrah's face, radiant with a blooming smile, lingered in Ariel's mind. No matter how hard he tried

    Elice was not unaware that Farrah was looking into her room. However, the woman pretended not to notice, adopting an indifferent posture when in fact the opposite was true. With her eyes fixed on her husband, Elice still managed to observe Farrah's unusual behavior out of the corner of her eye.Elice smiled. At Garrett, of course. Trying to calm the man's worries. But it seemed that the smile wasn't only effective for Garrett. Instead, it also seemed to bring out Farrah's true nature.In front of others, Farrah appeared to be a caring family member, seemingly deeply affected by the tragic events. Especially since Daphne was her own biological mother.But look at that. Elice wouldn't be wrong if she noticed the smirk forming on Farrah's face. The cynical expression that appeared there wouldn't escape Elice's notice.Farrah hadn't come to comfort the grieving family. Quite the opposite."So..."Garrett's voice caught Elice's attention.

    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. Cutting through the bustle of the medical staff. Making their way to a main ward, closely guarded by several personal guards.The door to the room opened.

    "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. 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.
