Desmond opened the video file he received via email. At first, he was about to ignore it. But after he saw a shadow there, Desmond opened it. And what was his surprise when he saw a woman kissing Edgar's hand and inviting him into a house? Not finished with his shock, Desmond saw Elissa returning home with tears on her face. Elissa ran to her room and immediately slammed the door. Not long after Elissa returned home, Edgar arrived. The man also ran fast, following Elissa. He went straight to the room and tried to enter. "Honey, you misunderstood!" Edgar shouted. There was no answer. There were only small noises inside. "I have nothing to do with Naia. Please open the door! I can explain everything you saw earlier. I ...," Edgar's words choked when Elissa opened the door. "I'm ...." Again, Edgar's words were cut off. His eyes widened when he saw Elissa carrying a large suitcase. "Where are you going?" he asked. "It's not me who's going. It's you who's leaving this house!" Edgar
"Why are you doing that again, Lissa?" asked Cassie, not understanding her friend's behavior. "You don't understand, I'm stressed out. I've lost my child; I lost the husband that I love," said Elissa. "Who made you lose Edgar? Yourself, right?" continued Ami. "What's wrong with you guys? Doesn't anyone support me?" "We are your best friends, Lissa, not just your business partners who support you no matter what you decide; if we were business partners, we'd support you because we'd be afraid of losing your profits. But we're your best friends, so if you're wrong, we'll tell you what to do," said Cassie. "I agree with what Cassie said. Although yes, I often need your money, but this time I don't want to support you. Don't you remember what happened in Lebanon yesterday? It all started with you fighting with Edgar, right?" Ami recalled. "But he cheated on me!" "Proof?" asked Cassie. "Look at the video. Yesterday, I also saw him giving flowers to Naia at the graveyard." Ami and Ca
"Do you think Edgar will be okay?" asked Mustafidz as Balqis sat on the sofa beside him. Balqis had just finished teaching the students about how they could study abroad. Despite her packed schedule, Balqis still fulfilled one of her duties as a wife. She made tea for her husband.Hearing her husband mention Edgar's name made Balqis laugh. "When you meet him, you're always angry. When you don't see each other, you ask about him?" Balqis grinned. She reached for her tea and drank it. Fortunately, Afkar was already asleep. Earlier, when Balqis was teaching, she took Afkar for a walk with her in-laws. Afkar immediately fell asleep. Luckily, Balqis has a child who isn't fussy like Afkar.Mustafidz's face reddened slightly. His face was bent. He reached for the tea Balqis had made. "Elissa, what kind of person is it?" asked Mustafidz while looking away.Balqis smiled. She put down her teacup and moved to the sofa where Mustafidz sat. She reached for the book that Mustafidz was still holdin
"Mr Edgar!" a child shouted.Edgar, facing forward, looking at the building, immediately approached. Edgar wiped away his tears. He took a moment to catch his breath before finally turning around to look at the child who had called out to him earlier."What's wrong, Fi? Aren't you coming to eat cake?" asked Edgar."Neither did you," said Fifi - one of the orphanage children.Edgar tried to smile. "The cake is for you all.""You brought it too. You can eat it too. Eating together is better, you know."Edgar was stunned. He was speechless at the words of the six-year-old in front of him."Are you crying?" asked Fifi.Edgar looked at Fifi. "No, really."Without being asked, Fifi wiped away the tears that were about to fall from Edgar's eyes. As one of the children in the orphanage who had been cared for from infancy, Fifi knew Edgar well. The little girl loves it when Edgar comes around. Edgar is her favourite donor because he wants to play together, unlike other donors who only send mon
"Lissa... don't listen to that bastard!" Cassie shouted. She was sick of dealing with Fritz, and looking at Elissa, whose mind was in turmoil, she would do whatever Fritz asked."That's right, Lissa. Don't listen to this maniac!" exclaimed Ami, not to be outdone. She also wanted to avoid seeing Elissa dealing with Fritz again. After what he did in Lebanon, the man was bound to do something crazy again.Fritz hissed. His ears burned from hearing the ravings of useless people. "Stuff their mouths!" said Fritz.Instantly, the people who came with Fritz grabbed Ami and Cassie. There were four of them, and they were split into two pairs. Each of them held one person. As Fritz ordered, they gagged Cassie and Ami's mouths with a cloth."Let them go, Fritz. You know that smothering them won't change my judgment of you," Elissa said casually. She knew best that one had to use a cool head when dealing with this human."Not until you listen to me!" retorted Fritz equally coldly."What do you hav
The incident had been going on for a long time. On the night Ira miscarried for the third time, she found a strange chat on her husband's phone."Ir, have you seen my phone?" shouted Desmond from the bathroom.Ira was pensive. She wanted to open Desmond's phone but couldn't. For the first time, she realised that her husband's phone was locked. Ira tried to enter her anniversary date, but it failed; her husband's date of birth failed, and her date of birth failed."Ir?" exclaimed Desmond. His voice was getting closer.Ira grew anxious. She wanted to see her husband's conversation with someone called 'My Kitty' there. But all the numbers she entered needed to be corrected. Desmond's footsteps were getting closer. Ira was anxious. When her husband was just a few steps away, Ira dismissed her suspicious face. She turned around and smiled."Here. You put it here before eating."Desmond smiled. "I'm getting older; it's only natural that I start to forget." He took the mobile phone held by h
"Still want to explain something?" challenged Ira."Listen! I did all this for you," Desmond defended.Ira's forehead wrinkled even more. Her face was bright red. She was disgusted by the man with the title of husband in front of her. Desmond looked cute in front of her, but he was nothing more than an animal behind her. "You're cheating on me for my sake? Have you lost your mind?""Yes. All for you. We've done all the experiments to get a child. You've also miscarried three times. The doctor said your womb is weak. We've also tried IVF many times, but it keeps failing. This plan is the only way I can think of," Desmond snapped.Ira could say no more. Her mouth was wide open. Her mind was completely lost. She didn't understand her husband's way of thinking anymore."I don't want a child that's not my blood. If my baby that's not with you is born, I'll pretend to put it in an orphanage, and we'll adopt it. That's my intention. I don't want a divorce from you!""You're not crazy, are yo
"How many more times do you have to feel pain, Gar?" asked Araf, not understanding. As far as he knew, no one wanted to be hurt. But now, in front of himself, the friend Araf knows so well even wants to be hurt any number of times."Isn't it the husband's duty to protect his family?" Edgar replied with a smile."But this is different, Gar. You've been expelled. And Elissa has been insolent. If I were her husband, I would have filed for divorce. Why maintain a relationship like that?" said Araf passionately."That's you, not me," Edgar replied.Araf clenched his fists. He, facing forward, looking at the buildings below him, immediately faced Edgar. Araf grabbed his best friend's shirt, lifted Edgar's body, and slammed him against the wall. "Wake up, Gar! Have you lost your mind since breaking up with Balqis? You deserve to be happy, too. You are a good person who deserves respect. Elissa has no right to trample on your feelings!"Edgar smiled. He touched Araf's hand, which was violentl
