Nelvan returned at eight in the evening, just as Lynda had finished her dinner. She turned as Nelvan entered the room, loosening his tie, unbuttoning his shirt sleeves before rolling them up to his elbows."Have you eaten?" Nelvan asked, and Lynda nodded.Nelvan sat down with a long sigh, looking very comfortable and relieved to be able to rest."How about you? Have you eaten?" Lynda asked back. Nelvan nodded before adjusting his sitting position to face Lynda, using her thigh as a pillow."I'm very tired, so please let me stay in this position for a while." Nelvan closed his eyes. Lynda was surprised by Nelvan's request but seeing how genuinely tired he looked, she didn't have the heart to ask him to move from her lap."Did Hans drive you here?""No, another one of my guards drove me. Hans is currently out of town; he might only return tomorrow morning. But why are you looking for Hans?" Nelvan replied, throwing a new question."I was just curious about who helped you push the wheelch
Several people stared at Nelvan in wonder as he stood in front of the shelf filled with women's necessities; fortunately, Nelvan's embarrassment wasn't too great thanks to the mask he was wearing. There were so many types of items on the shelf that Nelvan didn't know which ones Lynda needed."What's the difference between wings and non-wings?" Nelvan murmured to himself."He must love his girlfriend so much that he's willing to buy women's pads. It's very rare to see a man like this; he must be enduring the embarrassment for his girlfriend's sake," commented a passing lady behind Nelvan.Nelvan snorted, picking up one product from each item on the shelf, leaving it up to Lynda to choose which one she wanted to use since he bought them all. Let Lynda decide which one she would use.Feeling embarrassed, Nelvan stood in front of the cashier to pay, and the cashier looked at Nelvan in wonder at the many pads he was buying. Nelvan turned his face away. "Can you total it quickly? I want to l
Throughout the day, neither of them left the room. Besides Lynda, who was enduring menstrual pain, Nelvan was also accompanying her, not wanting to leave the girl alone.There was something new that Nelvan felt when he was close to Lynda. The girl had said she wouldn't love him, but who knew how time would pass and make Lynda retract her words.With great care, Nelvan adjusted the blanket for Lynda while she was still sleeping. Perhaps her pain was not as severe as before, allowing Lynda to close her eyes peacefully. Soon, a knock on the door was heard, prompting Nelvan to open it as he knew it was Hans."The plane will be ready tonight," Hans said."Didn't I tell you to postpone it for a few more days?" Nelvan restrained Hans from entering, but the assistant and his friend entered without permission and saw Lynda sleeping.Hans turned around, grabbing Nelvan's shirt collar. "You're not torturing Lynda again, are you?" he growled."Why do you care? Of course, I'm not torturing her." Ne
Nelvan's desire to stay a few more days in Seattle was dashed when an important call interrupted. In the morning, he and Lynda had already embarked on a journey to Los Angeles. This sudden meeting was only informed by Hans at nine in the evening, and in the morning, Nelvan had to rush to start his journey.During the journey, Lynda was completely ignored as Nelvan looked very serious using his tablet. The screen displayed some graphs that Lynda didn't understand, so she remained silent and would speak only when Nelvan initiated the conversation.Nelvan's serious face like this truly added to the man's handsomeness, but why did his behavior always leave Lynda wondering?One day, Lynda would surely get used to it; it just needed time to adapt because of the changes in the man's personality that were unreadable."You'll come with me later," Nelvan said without taking his eyes off the tablet screen. Lynda didn't know Nelvan's destination because even if she refused, he would still take her
"You both look very compatible. When will your wedding be held?" Julius, Nelvan's cousin, asked."It definitely won't be long." Nelvan replied confidently.Dalton soon approached the three people who were now sitting in the living room of his large apartment. Lynda turned to Nelvan's father, whose face looked stern and intimidating."What about your ex-fiancée?" Dalton asked."The police are hunting her down. I almost died because of Bella and Romy's actions, but now we're just waiting for Bella to come out of hiding. I don't care much about that woman because I've ensured that her life won't go smoothly once she deals with me."Lynda fell silent. She was the only woman sitting among three adult men, and she didn't understand much about the conversation they were having. What Lynda knew was that the woman named Bella, who had pushed her roughly, was the woman who had almost married Nelvan."What about you?" Julius asked Lynda. Lynda looked nervous when she received the question. Julius
It was late at night, but Lynda couldn't sleep. She was still thinking about Julia, even though the woman was already deceased. At least Lynda could learn a bit about who Julia was in Nelvan's past life to make sure that Nelvan wasn't playing with her feelings.Lynda really couldn't sleep, but fortunately, her phone, lying next to her, rang. It was a video call from Allexin, her handsome brother."You're not asleep?" Lynda asked as she saw Allexin's face on the screen of the phone he had given her."I just finished practice and arrived home. I have a school holiday tomorrow, so if you don't mind, can I contact my beloved Lynda?" Allexin replied and asked Lynda.Lynda chuckled softly, but when the light illuminated Allexin's face, she noticed bruises on her brother's face. Lynda furrowed her brow, "Don't tell me you've been secretly involved in underground fights?" Lynda accused. Allexin looked around randomly, indicating that Lynda's suspicion about his involvement in illegal fights wa
Lynda walked away from Maggie and Nelvan, but Nelvan immediately chased after Lynda to prevent the situation from worsening."Lynda, wait!" Nelvan called out, but his hand was grabbed by Maggie, causing him to stop and look at his mother."Since when? Since when have you been able to walk so smoothly?" Maggie asked."I'll explain later after I manage to stop Lynda from leaving," then Nelvan chased after Lynda, who was now retrieving some of her belongings from the neighboring room before heading out, but Nelvan quickly closed the door.Lynda glanced up at the man much taller than her, who now controlled the door, not letting her out."Move aside, Mr. Xander. I won't bother you anymore." Lynda pushed Nelvan gently, but he held both of Lynda's shoulders, forcing her to look up again.The gaze and formal tone returned, and Nelvan hated the formal tone coming from Lynda's lips. He gave Lynda a tight hug, and she remained silent without responding or resisting."Mrs. Maggie already knows, s
After a while of traveling, Lynda finally arrived at a place she shouldn't have left. After getting off the last vehicle to reach her home, Lynda's gaze fell on the brown object encircling her wrist. The object was red before its small screen went blank."It seems to be out of power. I'll recharge it some other time." Lynda removed it from her hand, put it in her bag, and walked into the house.It was not a very large house. Lynda opened the front door and found the house eerily quiet. It seemed that Allexin was not at home. However, Lynda chose to check Allexin's room in case her younger sibling was sleeping.But Allexin was nowhere to be found. Lynda closed the door to Allexin's room and decided to contact the teenager who would soon turn sixteen. The phone rang unanswered by Allexin, even after Lynda called ten times with no response."Is he participating in the underground match again?" Lynda murmured to herself, then decided to call Mia, her friend.["Hello Lynda, what's up?"]"Mi
Several months later.The seasons had changed, and the white dress with a long train caught the attention of the guests. The veil on Lynda's head completed the beauty and uniqueness of the wedding day she would share with Nelvan today.Lynda's smile never faded as she held a bouquet of flowers with one hand and held Allexin's hand, walking down the aisle towards an altar where Nelvan stood with a pastor.Nelvan wore a black tuxedo, a white shirt, and a bow tie matching the tuxedo. He looked like couldn't wait to reach Lynda. For Nelvan, Lynda looked incredibly beautiful at that moment. With the white wedding dress adorned with diamonds, Lynda's appearance was truly enhanced. Nelvan was touched to see the woman walking towards him, who would soon be his wife.The gaze between the bride and groom didn't waver until Lynda stood in front of Nelvan with Allexin. The teenager placed Lynda's hand in Nelvan's and said, "Now, I entrust Lynda's happiness to you. Never hurt her if you still want
Allexin was also dressed neatly and stylishly, typical of today's teenagers. He had even booked a taxi to their destination.Lynda, feeling confused, just followed wherever Allexin took her. Wherever it was, Lynda was sure it wasn't a dangerous place. Allexin wouldn't put her in danger as long as the teenager could still breathe.The journey was quite long. One hour after getting ready and over thirty minutes on the road."Where are we actually going?" Lynda asked, unable to hold back any longer. But Allexin just replied,"If I tell you now, it won't be a secret anymore." And Lynda just sighed.Suddenly, Allexin gently pulled Lynda. Without asking permission, the teenager put a blindfold on Lynda so she couldn't see anything."Allexin, why can't I see?""Shhh..., just a moment." The taxi stopped, and Allexin led Lynda out of the car and helped her walk to avoid tripping. Warmth was the first thing Lynda felt. It was likely they had entered a room, but Lynda couldn't see anything but da
It was early in the morning when Lynda woke up Allexin for breakfast, but the teenager was nowhere to be found. If it weren't winter, Lynda would know where Allexin went, but now she had no idea where he could have gone so early in the morning.Lynda reached for her phone to contact him, but Allexin's phone rang in the room, indicating it was being charged. Lynda sat and waited for Allexin to return so they could enjoy their meal together.The door opened, and Lynda immediately stood up, thinking it was Allexin, but to her surprise, it was Mia who entered. Lynda quickly ran into her friend's arms."Mia! I missed you so much!" Lynda exclaimed.Mia laughed as she returned Lynda's hug, "I missed you too," Mia replied.Lynda smiled broadly. She initially thought Mia had come alone, but seeing another figure behind Mia piqued Lynda's curiosity. The person was carrying many items, obscuring their face."Who did you bring?" Lynda asked."Let him in first." Mia opened the door to allow the per
Allexin patted Lynda's shoulder, trying to calm her down, but instead of succeeding in soothing Lynda, her brother's gesture only made her cry even more. Lynda didn't care that she looked very embarrassing crying like a child who wanted candy in front of her younger brother.The teenager took several deep breaths. "Is the impact on his head so severe that he doesn't recognize you?" Allexin asked.Lynda turned but then burst into tears again. Allexin massaged his temples. "Stop crying; I know the head injury was quite severe, but I didn't expect it to make him forget you. Perhaps it's just temporary amnesia; you calm down, he will surely remember you again," Allexin said, rubbing Lynda's arm.Lynda's feelings were still very painful. She had been caring for Nelvan day and night to ensure that he regained consciousness. However, when Nelvan opened his eyes and spoke, he didn't recognize Lynda. What was even more painful than that was being considered a stranger when Nelvan had suffered
Unconsciously, seven days had passed, and during that time, Nelvan still refused to open his eyes. The bruises on Nelvan's body had significantly reduced, indicating that Nelvan's condition might soon improve.As Lynda cleaned Nelvan's body with a damp towel, Allexin arrived with a wide smile."Lynda," the teenager called out. Lynda turned, and Allexin proudly displayed his tournament championship certificate. "I won the martial arts tournament yesterday. Don't worry; this is legal, and here's the proof of my achievement," Allexin continued before Lynda could get angry."Really?" Lynda placed the damp towel in the basin, and she took the certificate held by Allexin. Lynda's expression changed as she read Allexin's name written as the winner on it."I'm sorry I couldn't cheer you on during your match yesterday," Lynda said apologetically.Allexin shook his head, "It's not a big deal. In fact, because you didn't come, I was able to win," Allexin joked, chuckling and successfully dodging
A man known to Lynda as Nelvan's cousin arrived. The accident from yesterday had left Nelvan unconscious, and some parts of his body were starting to bruise.His shoulder and head were the same, seeing Nelvan in such a state would undoubtedly evoke pity from anyone who saw him."How is he?" Julius asked."There's still no sign of Nelvan waking up soon," Lynda replied. She then asked, "Have Nelvan's parents been informed about this?"Julius shook his head. "I don't know, but Nelvan is used to this. I mean, if he's sick, neither of his parents really care." Julius placed a flower and its vase on the table.Lynda looked at Nelvan. He had a complete family, but none of them had come to visit when he was sick. The only one who came to visit him was Julius.Shortly after Julius arrived, the door to the hospital room opened again. Hans entered, breathing heavily, looking like he had just finished a marathon."How is Nelvan?" Hans asked immediately. During the incident yesterday, Hans was in
Nelvan's hands clenched tightly as if he could crush anything in his grasp, his face clearly showing restraint to avoid hitting anyone there.Through his eyes, Nelvan saw Lynda in the most dangerous position, feeling incredibly guilty as it was his fault that Lynda was in this situation."What do you want?" Nelvan spoke with a restrained voice, not wanting to engage in small talk when it concerned Lynda's safety.Gilbert took the documents held by the man who had been with him all along. "Sign this; you will get your woman safely after signing this transfer document."Nelvan took the document."Don't scribble over it!" Lynda exclaimed. Nelvan turned; he genuinely wanted to run and take Lynda's place, but he couldn't act directly like that.Nelvan turned back to face Gilbert, who smirked cynically. "Why? Would you prefer the girl to die? What if I activate the bomb attached to her body?""Do you want me to sign this?" Nelvan asked."Of course, what do you think I've wanted all this tim
Nelvan headed to Allexin's location, not to pick up the teenager but to intercept the car carrying Lynda.Nelvan's actions were not on point, and his henchmen also joined in the search for Lynda. After about thirty minutes of searching, Nelvan still hadn't found any signs of Lynda's whereabouts.Nelvan's anxiety clouded his judgment, and all he wanted was to find Lynda safe and sound as soon as possible.Another call from Allexin came in, and Nelvan promptly answered."Have you found Lynda?" Nelvan asked."Not yet, I and the other people are also searching for Lynda, but no luck so far," Allexin replied.Nelvan turned off his phone and focused on finding Lynda. He also waited for one of his men to call and confirm that Lynda was safe. But over an hour had passed, and there was still no sign of Lynda. Both Nelvan and Allexin were equally worried.Elsewhere, Lynda unconscious and bound to a concrete pillar in a standing position, a basin of cold water was poured over Lynda, jolting her
Winter was on the verge of arriving, Nelvan sat in the reading room holding a book, but it wasn't the text in the book he was looking at, but a photo of a beautiful girl smiling sweetly.One thing Nelvan felt at the moment was guilt. Guilt for letting Julia replace him in the accident, and due to Nelvan's carelessness, Julia had found peace in her final resting place.Unexpectedly, after years, someone had imitated Julia's face to deceive Nelvan. No wonder since the incident at the hospital, Bella's presence had been hard to find, and it turned out that the cunning woman had altered her face to resemble the woman Nelvan had once protected.Nelvan's guilt was not only for Julia but also for Lynda. While lost in thought, suddenly Bella, with Julia's face, arrived. Honestly, Nelvan wanted to throw the woman in jail or into the depths of the sea if necessary. Besides her face being made as similar as possible to Julia's, Bella was also very skilled at pretending. If Nelvan made one wrong
