Nelvan had just seen Lynda leaving the hotel he had booked. Before Lynda could get further away, once again, Nelvan pulled her back. He wouldn't let Lynda wander alone out there without a definite purpose, no matter that a few minutes earlier, a slap had landed on his face from Lynda's hand.Lynda was waiting for the elevator to open. "Lynda, I haven't—" Lynda immediately pushed Nelvan's hand away, not wanting to hear anything from him.The elevator opened, and Lynda dragged her suitcase inside. Without permission, Nelvan lifted Lynda so easily and took the girl back into the room. Despite Lynda's protests, Nelvan lowered her after they were in the room. To ensure Lynda didn't leave, Nelvan stood in front of the closed door.Lynda shot an irritated look at Nelvan. She still remembered vividly how, in Nelvan's unconscious state, he had hoped that a woman named Julia wouldn't leave him. Imagining that made Lynda's heart ache."Mr. Xander, you shouldn't treat a lowly servant like me this
A piece of paper was held by Allexin, containing Lynda's handwritten note stating she would follow Nelvan to Manhattan. It had been four days, but Lynda hadn't returned, and during that time, Allexin hadn't heard any news from her.A knock on the door disrupted Allexin's thoughts, who continued to worry about Lynda. He grabbed his backpack and approached the visitor, thinking it might be one of his friends coming to pick him up for martial arts practice.However, seeing Nelvan standing there, Allexin furrowed his brow and looked around behind Nelvan. "Are you alone? Where is Lynda?" he asked."Didn't Lynda come back already?" Nelvan stared at Allexin, and the teenager also looked back at Nelvan with a surprised expression.Without permission, Allexin grabbed Nelvan's shirt collar. "You let Lynda go back alone after she forced herself to meet you because she couldn't bear the longing?" he growled."Allexin, let's discuss this properly."Allexin pushed Nelvan with all his might until Ne
Accompanied by Allexin, Lynda came to Nelvan's house and of course brought the money she borrowed from the man. Coincidentally, at that time Hans and Nelvan were in the office, so Lynda didn't have to search or wait for Nelvan to return."Lynda," Hans said. Lynda glanced at Hans briefly before passing him by and walking straight to Nelvan, placing a very large bag in front of him, followed by Allexin placing another bag."This is the money I borrowed from you. From now on, I have no more business here, so please never look for me. I resign from my job in this house," Lynda said before turning to Hans."Hans, thank you for helping me get the job, but now I am ending my job in this house. You are a witness to the payment I gave to Mr. Xander," she said.Allexin behind Lynda looked at Nelvan, "If it's not enough, just say so. I will give the rest if the money I gave today is still insufficient," Allexin said bluntly, then he and Lynda left. Lynda headed to the Maid's room to tidy up her
Allexin's friends didn't go home; Allexin's room was now filled with three teenagers busy studying together, sometimes joking around, resembling people in a fight. Lynda's not-so-spacious house looked busier than usual.Shortly after, Darwin and Mike ran out, Lynda turned to look, but before she could say anything, the two friends disappeared behind the door, leaving Lynda shaking her head softly.About an hour later, Darwin and Mike returned with two shopping bags full of snacks."Are you opening a food store in my house?" Lynda joked.Darwin laughed, "No, Mike and I will stay here, so it's not right if we stay without giving something. This is for you. Don't get any thinner, or you'll be left with just bones," he joked, placing one of the bags on the table. Then Mike entered Allexin's room, forcibly pulling Lynda's younger sibling out of the room.As they exited, Allexin carried Mike, making the teenagers successfully make Lynda's house feel even livelier, but Lynda didn't mind at al
Allexin asked the school authorities, "Can you tell me again how much I have to pay for this competition?" Allexin enjoys participating in school competitions, and of course, before the competition, there is an initial fee that must be paid. For example, in a robotics competition, if Allexin's group does not receive financial assistance, the participants will have to use their own funds. A while ago, he heard something uncertain, prompting him to ask the school directly.The woman, no longer young, looked at the computer and books to confirm, "Around twenty-five thousand dollars," she said confidently.Allexin held his breath, running his fingers through his slightly natural blonde hair. It seemed that this time he would not be able to participate in the competition because his savings had been depleted to pay off Nelvan's debt.Allexin walked out of the administrative room feeling drained, and he met Darwin in front of him."Hey Bro! What's up?" he asked.Allexin shook his head softl
It has been five days since Lynda completely left Nelvan's house. The house felt empty, with no one preparing food to Nelvan's liking. For days, all Nelvan could do was scold the cook because the food didn't suit him."Would you like me to cook for you?" Julia offered.Nelvan turned, "Can you cook? What if you end up hurting yourself?" Nelvan touched Julia's hand, and unintentionally noticed something strange again, but he didn't mention it.Nelvan let go of Julia's hand, "Alright, if you want to cook for me, but make sure you don't hurt yourself," he said.Julia nodded and headed to the kitchen. With the help of the cook, Nelvan watched Julia prepare the food. At times like this, Nelvan felt as if Lynda was in the kitchen, smiling at him occasionally while making the food.It seemed like Nelvan missed Lynda, missing everything about that girl, including her cooking and her smile.After nearly an hour of cooking, Julia served the food in front of Nelvan. The man tried Julia's cooking f
This time, Nelvan didn't go back to the mansion; he didn't want to meet anyone, so he locked himself in a hotel with several bottles of alcohol. One bottle was already empty, and the other was half gone.The drink only helped alleviate Nelvan's anxiety momentarily but didn't help him resolve the dilemma between Julia or Lynda. Both women meant so much to Nelvan that he couldn't let go of either of them.Nelvan's phone rang, showing Julia's name, but Nelvan ignored it. Shortly after, the phone rang again, this time it was Hans calling, but Nelvan still didn't answer calls from either of them.His head started to ache, and Nelvan rested it on the sofa with a slightly tilted position. His eyelids closed, reminiscing about his closeness with Julia when they were in the same school.No one could compare to Julia in Nelvan's heart during that time, no other woman was as close to him as Julia. It wasn't Julia who prevented it, but Nelvan himself who didn't want it. Remembering the past made
That day, Lynda had just returned from work, and Allexin had also just come back from training. They crossed paths, but Allexin was still upset with Lynda for giving Nelvan a chance when it was very clear that he was ignoring Lynda's feelings."Allexin!" Lynda called out. The teenager kept walking until he reached their house, with Lynda following behind. "Do you want me to make your favorite dish?" Lynda asked."No need, I've already eaten," he curtly replied. Just as Lynda was about to follow Allexin to his room, he closed the door in annoyance.Lynda sighed, "I know you're still angry about yesterday's issue, but you don't have to be like this!"The door opened slightly, revealing Allexin's eyes through the gap. "I don't care! I hate that man, no matter how rich or handsome he is. But if he dares to hurt you, then he's on my life's blacklist!" then the door closed again, but two seconds later, it opened slightly once more."Oh, and I don't like that you gave him a chance to win you
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
