The sky began to turn blue. The golden hour had passed. The atmosphere returned to normal. There was nothing more impressive than those first minutes when the sun appeared. The golden color that covered the sky was now gone. Everything changed to its proper color."Let's have breakfast!" said Edgar after the golden hour passed.Hearing Edgar who spoke like that, Elissa realized that her hand was still holding on to Edgar during the sun shining so beautifully earlier. Elissa hurriedly let go. But when she looked in the direction Edgar pointed out, she was again mesmerized.Now, in front of Elissa was a table with a white cloth. On it were some simple breakfast menus. There was only porridge and fish head soup that was still puffing smoke."When did you prepare it?" she asked. Her nose was already starting to itch. The fragrance of Edgar's cooking was excellent. Especially the fish head soup that looked so delicious. Elissa's mouth was already filled with saliva."From three in the morn
"Hand over your car keys!" Elissa forced."For?" asked Edgar in surprise."I will be going."Edgar tugged at the corners of his lips, forming a small smile. "Did you forget where we are?"Elissa tapped her forehead. She just realized that she was far away from civilization. Edgar needed to drive through the hills and forest for hours to get there. Elissa sighed while grumbling. Why had she become so stupid since she met Edgar? They always looked silly in front of this man. "Better come with me, let's go!""No! Better stay at home. I'm going to bed!" argued Elissa. She turned around and climbed the stairs, heading for the room.Edgar immediately pulled Elissa's hand. The man thought she would fall, then he caught her and looked at her with all his heart. And when they looked at each other, Edgar could resume the kissing moment delayed at breakfast could be resumed. Unfortunately, that was not the case. Elissa, who fell, did a backflip like Spiderman. She could spin on top of Edgar, tw
Elissa continued to curse. She still couldn't believe there was a man like Edgar in this world. How could a man not worry about his wife at all? Edgar was still relaxed in his car even though she kept walking away."What a bummer!" Elissa swore at Edgar.All the plans that Elissa had thought of failed. There was no other idea in her brain. Edgar was patient. Because of his patience, Elissa suspected that Edgar was not human. Elissa also realized that her father's words might be valid. Edgar was not an ordinary man. He did not care about money and was also very patient, waiting for her to fall in love with him."Shit!" she shouted.Feeling her anger unbearable, Elissa kicked the twig in front of her. The twig bounced away. A screeching sound was instantly heard. Elissa also raised his head, trying to see what the twig she kicked hit. Before she could see it, a monkey came out of the bushes.The giant monkey grimaced at the sight of Elissa. The monkey immediately attacked. Quickly, Elis
"There is nothing serious. Your husband's condition is good. And from your husband's report, he has been vaccinated. So, the wound is not fatal. It will heal within a week. During that time, please reduce the activity!" explained the doctor.Elissa breathed a sigh of relief. She nodded her head. The doctor left while Elissa entered Edgar's room, seeing her husband's condition. It had occurred to her to go to Edgar in the forest. But her logic was against it. If she wanted to part with Edgar, that was different from how she should go. Leaving Edgar in the middle of the forest and letting him die would make Elissa haunted by guilt for the rest of her life. If she wanted to sepaLissae, she should use a more beautiful way, just like a queen who solves all her problems."That's enough sightseeing. We're going back to Father's house now!" said Elissa.Edgar just nodded. He smiled. And because the doctor had also allowed them to go home, Elissa and Edgar immediately went home. After cleaning
"Is it true that Elissa is married, Mi?" Fritz asked Ami. He looked down at the city below the building. His hand was holding a drink.Ami swallowed. Talking to this man in front of her made her uncomfortable. Aside from his high power and ice-cold demeanor, Fritz never hesitated to eliminate his enemies."Right," Ami said quietly.Fritz exhaled. The vapor from his breath fogged up the glass in front of him. He sipped his drink again. Fritz couldn't stop thinking. With his current position, wealth, and charisma, why couldn't Elissa's father ever approve of him being his son-in-law? Forget about Elissa's father. Fritz was even more surprised at Elissa. Why had she never once fallen for him?Fritz turned around. He then sat in front of Ami while crossing his legs. One hand was on the back of the chair, and his right hand was still fiddling with his drink glass.Ami swallowed again. She did like being friends with Elissa. All her needs could be fulfilled. Elissa was never stingy or calcu
"Don't think of the dirty things! I'm still disgusted to be touched by a man like you! But what can I do? This is the only thing I want to try!" said Elissa excitedly. She was already barefoot and sitting on Edgar's sleeping sofa."Hurry up!" she yelled when Edgar just stood there dumbfounded."What are we doing?" asked Edgar with a trembling voice."Sit down! Don't talk so much, and take off your pants! You're still wearing shorts, right?" asked Elissa.Edgar swallowed even more. He nodded vaguely. Edgar guessed even more. What exactly possessed Elissa to be like this? He told Edgar not to think anything. Did she not know that men tended to think about bed more often than women?"Do you want to take it off yourself or let me take it off?" she asked.Edgar immediately tightened his pants. He shook his head. I swear, this air-conditioned room did not affect the young man. His whole body was now sweating. His face was deathly pale. And he swallowed repeatedly."I'll be right back!" said
Elissa stretched her body. The room was already bright. Sunlight had entered through the window. The lights had also been turned off. Once again, Elissa tried her body. She felt so fresh this morning. A smile was also plastered on her face. Elissa still wondered why this morning felt different. It felt like her mind was light.Elissa inhaled her breath. Her nose smelled something fresh. She turned to the side, looking at the source of the smell that made her saliva flow slightly. She saw a cup of coffee that was still puffing smoke. There was also breakfast there. A toast and a jar of peanut butter. The breakfast package was still warm. There was also a piece of paper placed next to the coffee."Sorry, I went to work first. There was a problem at the project," Edgar wrote.After reading the note, Elissa's expression instantly changed. She finally knew why she woke up this morning feeling and in such a happy mood. Apart from winning the match with Edgar last night, she didn't hear her
Edgar put his jacket on the chair. He then went to the kitchen, made coffee, and drank it there. He wondered how to tell Elissa about this. If he asked his in-laws for help, it would be easier. But on the other hand, she would think Edgar was a coward.It was late afternoon, but the house was still quiet. The servants and security guards were resting. Desmond and his wife were out for an evening walk. Edgar was very jealous of that. His in-laws were already in their thirties but were still as intimate as young people. Especially when they are eating; while Edgar and Elissa are eating alone, Desmond is eating with Ira. Edgar needed clarification. Was it he or Desmond who was the newlywed?Araf's words were still ringing in Edgar's mind. The blue-eyed man was still wondering. Does he have to do that? But no matter what, the facts said by Araf didn't change. If it had to be, then..."I have no other choice," said Edgar."Where is Edgar?" asked Elissa in an exclamatory tone to one of her
Although Edgar didn't know what Hunter had promised Fritz, Edgar tried to remain calm. He wasn't going to stay undercover forever. Besides, the police and Desmond's security forces would soon arrive. Edgar only needed to find Elissa.Edgar watched every shape of the building. The building before him was a fairytale palace with towering towers and still black bricks. The structure was dominated by Greek architecture. Or even all of them had Greek flavor. Only one is not—the two date palms planted before the palace gate. According to Edgar, Fritz seemed to want to combine the two concepts of the princess kidnapped by the dragon and the princess from Aladdin's fairy tale."So, where is the gift you promised?" asked Fritz.Edgar was still calm. "You invited me all the way here just to collect a promise. You didn't serve me food first?""Oh right. Let's eat first while talking."Edgar laughed. "It's been a while since we talked together, right?""Yeah. But if you don't bring that gift, you
"What about Elissa, Bhim?" asked Edgar when Bhima finally visited the hospital.Edgar could now do anything. The doctor also advised him to start taking small steps. Fortunately, the fracture wasn't too severe, so the recovery period was also expected to be short."That's why I came to see you, Young Master. Today we'll be heading to Fritz's private island," Bhima reported."Tell me where it is!" he ordered."Sorry, Young Master. But I'm only here to tell you that. I'm not allowed to tell you the details.""Bhima. Where do you think I'm going? My leg still hasn't healed. My chest still hurts because my ribs still haven't healed. I just want to know how you plan to get Elissa back. Who knows, I can add to some of your plans that might be lacking," said Edgar.Bhima began to look hesitant."Anyway, Bhim. I won't be able to calm down if you only tell me the rough outline."Bhima exhaled. "All right. But young master, please calm down. I will only explain once because time is not our frie
Elissa knocked on Tory's room. She already had a plan to get out of here. What mattered to her now was that Fritz didn't always fixate on her."Miss Queen?" asked Tory in disbelief.She smiled. She hurriedly entered and locked the door. She didn't want the bodyguard Fritz had sent to follow her into Tory's room. No one should know her plan.During the night, Elissa thought about several possibilities. Although there was still a possibility of failure and the success Lissae depended on Tory herself, this was the only way she could think of for now. Elissa did not want to be confined here forever. Even though all her needs and luxurious things were fulfilled on this island, she still wanted to be with Edgar."What does Miss Elissa want? Do you want me to check on you again? Does Mr. Fritz want it?""I want to get straight to the point. Do you really love Fritz?"Tory's face turned red again. She also covered her face with her hands again. "Mr. Fritz is everything to me," she said."If y
Edgar kept thinking about something while lost in the forest and walking without direction. Why did all this happen? Edgar continued translating everything that happened until he realized that what Elissa said was true. Araf had planned something.Without a plan, there would be no climb to Rinjani. Without Araf planning it, there was no way Naia would suddenly be kind to Elissa. Naia would have preferred Elissa to be exhausted and unable to reach the summit. With Araf planning it, Mika would bring a particular mountain communication device and contact Fritz directly.Edgar only realized it after he repeatedly fainted from falling into the ravine. He regretted being so trusting of one person.Araf was speechless. No matter how neatly he prepared his plan, it would be revealed someday. Like a buried carcass, one day, it will leave an odor. Edgar is not a fool; he must have realized it quickly."I'm sorry. I had dark eyes. I thought you would never be happy with Elissa. I thought she wou
Bhima took off his mask. His hands were bruised. He was tired of beating so many people. The members under him were the same. They sat with their legs bent, resting. This day was already the fifth base they visited, but there was no sign of Fritz. Not even one of Fritz's men knew where his boss was."Check if there are any clues. I want to check Fritz's room one more time!" Bhima said.It had been almost a week since he went around looking for where Fritz was. He only found Elissa's picture in all the buildings he came across. And the headquarters in San Francisco was the same. There was nothing that stood out. Fritz's seat even looked like a regular office.Bhima entered Fritz's room once again. He looked around. Everything was a mess. Fritz's desk had also been destroyed. Cabinets, walls, and even the ceiling had been broken. But there was nothing suspicious. Everything inside was always the same. It only contained clothes and trinkets.Bhima lifted the cupboard that he had knocked
Ira continued Desmond's struggle. She started to meet the people behind Fritz. Ira was fed up with just being a behind-the-scenes supporter. She was also fed up that her son was now in Fritz's hands, and no one knew where she was. Only Bhima could track her down, which might take a long time.Ira contacted her acquaintances. She asked for help to collect any evidence of Fritz's crimes. Ira also has a hacker acquaintance. She needed information from an authority and digital data about Fritz's financial statements. If Ira's suspicions were correct, Fritz should never have paid taxes."Where are we going, ma'am?" the driver asked."We're meeting this person!" said Ira as she showed the photo and sent the address to the car's direction system."Are you sure, ma'am? He's nothing more than a deceitful loan shark.""There is no more time. Edgar needs Elissa and she needs to be by his side. If this man is still with Fritz, our efforts will have been in vain," Ira explained.From all the repor
News of Edgar's disappearance reached Mustafidz's ears. The search had entered its fourth day. And all that was found was a bloody shirt. Araf and Jef, who joined the forest and combed the river, had come out. They found no one.The drones that detect body heat also did not get any response. The helicopter boarded by the SAR team also came up empty. Those up there using binoculars with body tempeElissare tracking lenses also found nothing.Rumors that wild animals might have eaten Edgar grew. It seemed impossible that they could not find Edgar, even though the equipment was as complete as this.Mustafidz and Balqis bit their lips. They looked at each other, unable to believe the news they were hearing. The couple knew very well that Edgar had experienced climbing a mountain. He couldn't disappear.Mustafidz immediately gathered all his family and students in the dormitory. They immediately prayed together for Edgar.On the other hand, Sindi, who was visiting the orphanage that Edgar u
Edgar fell. His legs were no longer strong enough to walk. No matter where he went, he couldn't find water. Edgar sat down. He leaned against a tree. He took the bottle of mineral water that was left. He opened it slowly and drank a little. He didn't know when he would get out of this wilderness.Edgar knew that if he got lost on the mountain, the fastest way to return was to return to the top. But in his current condition, that was not possible. It was also impossible for him to return to the path he used yesterday to climb to the top.Edgar didn't know how long he had been here. He also needed to find out what day it was. The last thing he remembered was chasing after Elissa, who Fritz had brought. Edgar hoped that Elissa would be okay.Edgar took a breath. He picked at the young leaves beside him—the easiest way to have a little energy. There were only 500 milliliters of mineral water left in his bag. Fortunately, the water didn't break when Edgar fell into the ravine."I have to g
"Is this really Edgar's shirt?" asked Jef.Araf nodded. He couldn't have forgotten that Edgar loved the soccer team with the blue shirt. He also loved the number 9. Even though this shirt was torn and covered in blood, there was still the name 'GAR' written on the back of the shirt."Is he still alive?" asked Araf in a trembling tone.This shirt was already tattered. Its shape was also out of the body. When Araf was resting and drinking, he saw this shirt stuck on a tree."The possibility is still 50:50. This shirt got stuck on the tree because maybe a monkey carried it. Unfortunately, there are still blood stains on this shirt, which means Edgar was injured," Jef explained.He reported his findings. Simultaneously, the search began to center around the river and the landslide. The sound of flying drones and helicopters could be heard. Drones began combing again, looking for Edgar's body heat from a height of 20 meters. Meanwhile, helicopters began to monitor from a high altitude."I
