Lihat lebih banyakA beautiful morning, rays of mellow sunlight filtered through the windows and shone on David's eyes.
Being a sleepyhead, he hated seeing the rays of sunlight in his room early in the morning. He always warned his family housemaid to close his window curtains, because of the rays of early morning sunlight.
"I'm going to kill her," he cursed under his breath with his closed eyes as the sunlight reflected in the room.
Yet he still lay limply on the bed, like a broken doll draped in a heavy blanket. Just as he turned to the other side, to close the curtains, with his eyes closed, he hit his face on something warm, and he startled out of his sleep.
He wondered what he had hit his face with, forcibly he opened his eyelids and bolted up to a sitting posture, whipping his head around in wide-eyed confusion.
After taking a moment to force sleep away from his eyes, he couldn't recognize the room he was in.
"This is not my room!" He was startled.
He closed his eyes back, perhaps thinking he must be dreaming, suddenly a hand reached out from behind and touched his back. He trembled like a dehydrated leaf, he quickly turned his head around, opened his eyes, beheld his face, and rested on a woman lying beside him.
"Shit" A scream came out of his mouth, causing the bed to shake, and he sprang up to his feet.
"What the hell is going on?...what happened here?" He shouted. He looked around the room, wanting to check what was happening, trying to comprehend the situation since he knew he wasn't in his room. A realization hit his brain, dawning on him at the moment, that he was in the maid's room.
"What I'm doing here" he screamed and startled the maid beside him out of her sleep. The maid shot up from the bed shivering.
David stared at the floor, and his face rested on the messy clothes on the floor. He recognized one to be the cloth he had worn last night. His eyes moved to his body, hoping his clothes were on his body.
A sudden laughter broke out of his mouth. After seeing that he was in underwear only, his laughter made the maid tremble where she lay low on the bed.
He moved his eyes back to the bed, and he glared at his maid, Rowan, who lunged into the corner of the bed. She quickly draped herself up with the blanket. Seeing how David scrutinized his body with a deadly gaze, she looked around to find a way to escape the room.
David didn't look happy. Seeing the atmosphere in the room, he clutched his aching forehead desperately searching through his memories to unravel what happened last night, but he couldn't recall anything.
Without uttering a word, he bent down to pick up the scattered clothes on the ground, and gently put them on.
"Why not put on your clothes and explain to me what happened here?" David said in a cold voice, his voice full of disdain.
In great shame, Rowan snatched her clothes from the floor and put them on, thinking about how to explain the situation to her boss.
Anger seized David, his fingers refused to move, he sat rigid on the bed for one long moment, the blood throbbing in his temples and all the hatred that a child can feel concentrated in his heart.
"What happened here?" He repeated.
He tried not to sound too scary yet his words dripped with disdain as he asked repeatedly
Rowan lurked on the edge of the bed, she was shivering and nervous, and she couldn't bring herself to look into her boss's eyes. She had just lost her virginity yet she couldn't dare accuse her boss of forcefully taking her virginity away, since she knew he wasn't himself last night.
Slowly, David stood to his feet, he scrutinized the room, hoping to find the camera, thinking his housemaid might want to blackmail him. He had always disliked Rowan's altitude. If he had his way, he would have sacked her a long time ago, but his nice parents wouldn't allow him to sack a poor maid who depends on their family for her daily up-keeping.
He walked towards the edge of the bed and grabbed Rowan's shoulders, pulling her roughly against the wall.
"I said what happened here" his voice echoed, anger and rage burning through him.
The look of fear and nervousness on Rowan's face was replaced with anger at that moment. She glared at David, seeing how he was treating her. Just then she wanted to tell him what he did to her.
"You forced yourself on me last night", Rowan broke out. Although she never wanted to tell him, she knew he was not himself last night, he was under the influence of something she couldn't place her hand on. She didn't want him to feel guilty, but David's despicable action toward her made her spill the beans.
David's hand moved to her neck, choking the life out of her.
"You can't blackmail me, You use something against me. Never, I won't fall for your lies, you slut" he roared.
Rowan struggled with his tightened grip on her neck, she slapped his hands, wanting him to leave her neck.
At that moment, David's face rested on the blood, on Rowan's clothes, and the cloth was on the bed. Suddenly it dawned on him that she had just lost her virginity. A gall of guilt struck him, and in an instant, he removed his grip on her neck.
Seeing where David's face landed, with great shame, Rowan covered the blood with a blanket.
"Young master, I didn't do anything against you, nor did I force you, but I perceived you weren't yourself last night...." Rowan was explaining, but suddenly David interrupted her from continuing.
"I'm not myselfβ¦.You know this, still, you allow me on you. Who does that? And you expect me to believe the lie β¦You are nothing but a cheap whore. For your information, don't think you can blackmail me with this, because if you do, you won't live to tell the story of what I have in stock for you. Moreover, I can sue you for taking advantage of me since you are the only one with last night's memory. You must have used something against me and I'm sure of it, I can't stoop so low to sleep with a whore like you in my consciousness", David said. Anger rippled through him as he stormed out of her room.
She swallowed hard, wanting to chase after him, but she couldn't, she had to accept some of the blame.
She allowed emotion to overrule her sense of judgment last night. She could have cried out for help last night but she didn't want the parents to see him as a bad person.
She lost her virginity just to save his face and integrity in front of his parents, but what did she get in return? Being called a whore.
The word slut resonated in Rowan's head, and she burst into laughter, but the laughter ended up bringing out tears from her eyes.
With gritted teeth, she started raining curses on David repeatedly.
"Jerk, spoiled brat, full of himself"!
Instantly, the air around David crackled with tension. He swiftly shed his suit, the fabric feeling heavy in his trembling as he handed it over to Richard, who felt like crying at the back of his bossβthis was all his boss had been working for in the past few months: to have Miss Rowan to himself finally, without fear of Flora hurting her again. Just then, James' phone buzzed, interrupting the silence that engulfed the atmosphere. Seeing the caller, James picked up at once. "Hello, babe," James said into the phone, drawing curious glances from David and Richard. To them, only Rowan would receive such a nickname. Seeing their suspicious gazes, he switched the phone to loudspeaker. "Hi, Naomi, you can speak now," James invited. "Miss Rowan has been rushed to the hospital. She's unable to fly; she started having contractions before she entered the plane," Naomi informed them. Before James could reply, David snatched the phone from his hands. "Miss Naomi, this is her husband at the ho
The room was alive with happiness as Flora jubilated, knowing that in a few hours, every TV station and blogger would be buzzing about her wedding to David Thompson, the president of the Oregon group of companies."As the heiress of Seraphims Holding, I only deserve the best," Flora declared from where she lay on the bed, with Andrew planting kisses on her neck and along her jawline."You know I will compensate you handsomely. I panicked when I found out David had regained his memory but didn't want me anymore. I thought everything was over, after years of patiently waiting," Flora confessed, a smile playing on her lips."I've told you that you don't have any problems. Since you've opened up to me about your true feelings and that it's me you love, and only his money you desire, since you've promised that it's my child you'll carry in his house, then I don't have any issues. The wedding is set to proceed, and in a few hours, you'll be Mrs. Thompson officially, but inwardly, you'll be M
It had been a few days, and tension hung thick in the air as Steve returned to James's house to deliver his response. The silence that filled the room was deafening, each breath heavy with anticipation. Jessica, though she thought she was prepared for any outcome, couldn't help but rub her hands together nervously. Ryan, sensing the tension, rested his head on her lap, his instincts picking up on the palpable anxiety swirling around them. "So, brother, have you finally made your decision?" James asked, his tone harsh yet tinged with regret. In the past few days, he had come to realize that his emotions had clouded his judgment. He understood that everything Steve had done was out of love for him β Steve didn't want him to lose the love of his life, just as James had lost his. It was this realization that had prompted James to allow Steve to make his own decision, even if it meant James would have to bear the pain of parting with his brother, if only for a while. "Yes, kid brother,"
What?" David's father asked, surprised by his son's allegations. "Dad, answer me. Are you involved with her too?" David demanded. "No, I'm not. And I'm disappointed that you would think so little of your father," David's father said. "I don't care, Dad. If she knows something about you significant enough to trade for my safety, then it must be substantial, and I need to know about it today," David said defiantly "Sit down, and I will tell you everything," David's father said. Reluctantly, David slumped into the chair, his anger palpable, emanating from him like a dark cloud. "Firstly, I discovered the kind of person Flora was after you started seeing her. Knowing how much you love her compelled me to dig deeper. I didn't want you to end up with the wrong woman. After finding out that she was involved with different men, I decided to confront her myself instead of letting you do it. During our conversation, she confessed that her uncle had forced her into those situations and that
"What do you mean, David? It was the marriage certificate we both signed, isn't that what we both wanted back then? Just because you didn't have the memory doesn't change the fact that your mother is aware of it, and a mother can't lie," Flora's voice came over the phone, her tone laced with frustration and desperation. She wasn't even attempting to come to David's house, realizing she had nothing left to lose."Flora, even if it is true, I don't want this marriage anymore. We have to annul the certificate," David stated firmly, using a word he never wanted to utter."What? David, are you trying to use me and then discard me? We've been dating for almost seven years. Now you don't want me anymore, and you didn't consider the repercussions it will have on my family and me, on the company, on everyone who believed we would end up together... I won't force you, David, but think about the consequences. We are legally married starting next week. If we don't announce it publicly, I don't kn
Naomi could only hum softly as she listened to Rowan's teasing remarks. Bending down, she reached for the coffee cups placed in front of them, an order she had made for both of them. Savoring the warmth, she took a delicate sip before carefully placing the cup back on the table.Inwardly, Naomi grasped the subtle undertones of Rowan's words. Since meeting James, she felt a shift within herself, a desire to embody qualities that might earn his admiration. But could she confide in Rowan that the catalyst for her change was the very man who harbored feelings for her?"Miss Rowan, I can't say there's any love involved. Let's just say someone's critique nudged me towards self-improvement," Naomi replied, her voice tinged with uncertainty. Rowan's gentle smile lingered, leaving Naomi to ponder if her response had hit the mark."You know, being challenged by someone and feeling compelled to better oneself because of them, well, it's akin to love. You might not realize it now, but soon enough
Before James exited the hospital, he had arranged to meet Naomi, only to hear the distressing news that she was banned from leaving the house. Naomi, a pivotal figure in her father's company, had inadvertently stirred up trouble by being seen at clubs, inviting scrutiny from shareholders and adding pressure to her father's plate. She was slated to marry into another wealthy family to enhance the company's stature. James, though conflicted, found himself driving toward Naomi's house despite his vow to stay away and avoid complicating matters for both families. The prospect of being desired by Naomi's father for his daughter weighed heavily on him, even as he questioned his own intentions. Arriving at the grand mansion, James couldn't help but admire the exquisite taste of Naomi's father. The meticulously landscaped gardens, the elegant architecture both inside and out, and the grandeur of the estate left James in awe, despite his familiarity with opulent surroundings. "It seems I'll

She wished she could stop, and gather herself, but the intensity of her emotions made it impossible to fake composure. The fear of David thinking she was running away from his happiness gnawed at her, yet the pain of witnessing the love of her life marrying someone else was unbearable.Lost in the labyrinth of her thoughts and the ache in her chest, Rowan's misstep jolted her back to reality. Her leg collided with an obstacle, threatening to send her crashing to the ground. Just as she teetered on the edge of falling, a strong hand encircled her, savi
Three agonizing days had crawled by since Rowan left David's house. The deafening silence hung heavy in her heart as she resisted the urge to reach out to him or answer his father's calls. Flora's mysterious behavior and her cousin's news about an award only added to the tumult of emotions swirling within her. The absence of David was a constant ache, the void left by his departure filled with memories that refused to fade. Today found Rowan grappling with the challenges of the IT department at the hospital, a temporary distraction from the emotional turmoil. As she navigated the hospital corridors, a man emerged from a wardβdischarged after six months of battling mental illness triggered by a traumatic accident.
