Arianna had finished all her work. Since Samuel had some business with Pak Randy tonight and requested to stay back, they had to go home separately.Walking towards the lobby, Chacha immediately called out and pulled her friend to sit for a while before heading home."Unusually alone, where's your husband?" Chacha inquired."Mr. Samuel had some matters to attend to with Pak Randy. So, I was asked to go home first," replied Arianna."Is the issue with the news not resolved yet?"Arianna nodded, leaning her shoulders against the chair, trying to appear relaxed. However, tension and anxiety still enveloped her."They said it's settled by Pak Randy and Pak Axton. The remaining issues are with the board of commissioners and Pakuwon.""Oh, Arianna. What a trial right after getting married. Just when you were about to enjoy yourself," commented Chacha. She sympathized with her friend about what was happening."What can I do? Just consider it a test to move up a grade," sighed Arianna."But,
Samuel was seen sitting in a corner of the bar, looking exhausted. In front of him were several bottles of drinks that had been his companions while he was frustrated searching for his wife.Before this, he had visited Celina at her office, intending to clarify the issue of the photo she had posted on social media earlier. Initially, Samuel had hoped that his cousin could cooperate, but unfortunately, Celina was just like Darwin. Despite being informed about Arabella's plan to hide Arianna's whereabouts, she remained silent and didn't dare to disclose to Samuel where his wife was."For God's sake, Celina. Please tell me where Arianna is," pleaded Samuel. The man's face was genuinely desperate at this point."Forgive me, Samuel. I really can't tell you. Instead of asking me, you better contact Aunt Arabella and ask her to end this punishment," replied Celina.Feeling hopeless, Samuel left Celina in great pain. Unsure of where else to look, he decided to stop by a bar in the middle of S
Valerie's smile widened as she opened the apartment door, finding Samuel standing there. Without much talk, Valerie extended her hand, hastily grabbing her ex-boyfriend's arm and pulling him inside.An hour earlier, with no hint of wind, rain, or storm, Samuel unexpectedly called Valerie. He expressed his intention to meet, citing an important matter. Eager not to miss the opportunity, Valerie immediately agreed without much thought."We need to talk, Valerie."Valerie grinned. She was sure there was another reason for Samuel to contact her first. "Oh my, Samuel. Is it really you calling me? What's going on?"Samuel sounded impatient. Not wasting time, he spoke again, "Let's cut to the chase. I need to meet with you. There's something we have to discuss urgently.""About what? I thought you didn't want to see me again.""Well, now I do want to see you."Laughter echoed from Valerie's lips. Following Samuel's request, she quickly respo
"What's wrong, honey?" Samuel felt puzzled. When he returned home and was about to sleep, he noticed Arianna's behavior, which was a bit odd. She suddenly appeared very affectionate. Arianna had never hugged or kissed Samuel first before. And tonight, for some reason, Arianna came to Samuel. Suddenly, she kissed him for a long time and hugged him tightly as if afraid of losing him."It's nothing. I just miss you," she said while continuing to hug him. "Since the big problem hit us a few days ago, you rarely hug or kiss me like usual."Samuel smiled. He felt guilty because he had been busy on his own for the past few days. "I'm sorry," Samuel whispered softly. Bringing his lips, he then kissed Arianna's forehead and the top of her head alternately. "I promise, I won't be busy on my own after this."Arianna nodded. She lifted her head slightly, then leaned forward to reach Samuel's lips. She kissed him again for a long time before finally deciding to
There are many reasons why being with Rama Walters is very enjoyable for Valerie. Apart from having above-average looks and a body that women desire, the eldest of the Walters family is skilled in the bedroom.Whenever they are together, Valerie has felt satisfied countless times. Like this morning, it's as if Rama doesn't let her get out of bed, continuing to shower her with affection. Adoring every inch of his body so intensely, Valerie's eyes closed. Feeling distinctly as Rama's lips wetly kissed her exposed shoulders and neck. Just as he lifted his face, approaching and parting his lips, he slid his tongue into Valerie's mouth.Meanwhile, the man's hands were actively at work. Skillfully descending, seeking the points he could satisfy. Starting with gentle caresses all over her body, then stopping at Valerie's breasts. He squeezed them firmly, repeatedly, causing Valerie to almost gasp.Then, the caresses moved down again, now targeting the inner thighs. Res
After cleaning up and getting dressed, Arianna immediately pulled Samuel to head towards the dining room. This morning, she prepared and served breakfast for Samuel to enjoy.Her plan for the day was to spend the holiday with Samuel. Besides, throughout their marriage, they had never spent time alone just for a stroll or wandering around. "Where do you want to go?" Samuel asked, spooning the chicken porridge Arianna had prepared for him."I want to take you out for the whole day, have meals together, and then go watch a movie. Consider it a date," Arianna replied.Samuel chuckled. Despite feeling a bit strange, he brushed off his feelings. Besides, upon reflection, he and Arianna needed to spend time together as they had been too busy dealing with recent issues."The whole day? Are you sure? We have to attend a party tonight," Samuel reminded her.Samuel certainly didn't forget his schedule for the evening. Axton had even chosen costumes for him an
Upon returning from the party and just arriving home, Samuel already had a guest. Earlier, he had made a promise with Randy and Axton to discuss something important. Allowing her husband to focus on his work, Arianna chose to enter the room first. Changing her clothes, she then crawled onto the bed. Despite feeling a bit uneasy, just before closing her eyes, Arianna couldn't forget the moment when she crossed paths with Valerie earlier. She was thrilled that once again she was able to silence the malicious ex-lover of Samuel."That's nothing, Valerie. If you had resisted earlier, maybe I would have embarrassed you in front of many people," murmured Arianna.Meanwhile, in his office, Randy immediately took out one of the memories from the bag he brought. Handing it to Samuel so that he could quickly see and check it firsthand."I'm sure, after hearing its contents, you'll be happy, Sam," Randy mumbled with a smile. Samuel, who was already curious, immediately ins
Arianna took a deep breath as she looked once again at the new text message that had just been sent to her. Trying to stay calm, she simply enjoyed the breakfast Samuel had prepared for her."What's wrong? Don't you like the food?" Samuel asked. Quietly, he observed Arianna's pensive and slightly pale face.Previously, his wife had complained about a headache, and Samuel had even suggested that Arianna rest and skip going to the office. He was genuinely worried, fearing that something serious might happen to his wife."It's not that it's not good, dear. But the headache I'm feeling is quite bothersome," Arianna complained sincerely. It wasn't just her head; Arianna's heart also felt painful at the moment.Hearing what Arianna had just shared, Samuel quickly got up. He fetched a warm cup of tea and handed it to his wife."Have this first. Or do you want to take a painkiller as well? If so, I'll get it for you too."Arianna shook her head. Sam
During Arianna's first delivery, Arabella was visibly excited, eagerly awaiting and welcoming the birth of her grandchild. This time, however, Darwin and Randy were the ones filled with enthusiasm over the birth of Samuel and Arianna's twin babies. It all started with Samuel assigning his two cousins the task of naming their newly born son and daughter. Samuel and Arianna were indeed grateful because their children were born as twins and even had matching genders. "So, have you got the names for the babies yet?" Samuel asked. At the moment, both cousins along with other family members were gathered in the hospital room. Even Rama was present at the hospital. He happened to have a task that brought him to Indonesia for a few days. Upon hearing from Arabella that Arianna had just given birth, he hurriedly visited with his mother. After being given a few hours to think, Randy, who was sitting, immediately looked up. Standing up, he then approached Samuel. "I've got one, not sure abo
In the car on the way to somewhere, Samuel laughed loudly. He chuckled to himself after listening to his wife's story, who intended to retaliate against Randy. Samuel didn't object at all. He thought his cousin needed to be taught a lesson once in a while to learn his lesson. "I can't imagine how annoyed Randy's face must be, having to treat and unwillingly pay for the orders I've already placed," Arianna exclaimed, continuing to laugh. "You're absolutely right." "Let it be! He brought it on himself by being mischievous. Besides, it's nothing compared to what he's done to me countless times. It's also a good deed. We'll donate the food to the orphanage," Arianna replied without feeling any remorse. Then she shifted the topic by asking Samuel something else. "By the way, where are you taking me? I've been wondering for a while now." Samuel glanced briefly, smiling as he answered his wife's curiosity. "I'm planning to surprise you," he said, keeping his focus on the road ahead. "A
Upon realizing she had been blatantly deceived by Randy, the next day Arianna invited Samuel's cousin to have lunch together. With the intention of seeking direct clarification and giving a lengthy lecture on what he had done to her. That's why, after dropping Kalvin off at Arabella's house, Arianna hurried to her husband's office first. Upon arrival, she chose to wait for a moment in Samuel's room because he was currently attending a meeting with other Pacific executives. "After a more in-depth evaluation, there are no longer any obstacles found in this project. I think, going forward, we just need to monitor the progress of the tower construction and then discuss it again. Randy seemed serious as he presented and led the meeting today. While Samuel, from his seat, observed. Occasionally noting the important points conveyed by his cousin. "From our side, there are no issues or matters that need clarification at all, Mr. Randy," replied Agatha, who was attending the meeting today.
Since the unclear argument that happened last night, this morning Arianna continued her silent treatment. Despite still serving and even preparing breakfast for her husband, she did everything in silence. As a result, Samuel, unable to stand being ignored any longer, immediately confronted her. Seeking to ascertain what was really going on with his wife. "Honey..." called out Samuel. His usually firm voice sounded gentle this morning. Yet deep down, he was also frustrated at being ignored by his wife for too long. "Are you tired of being angry and ignoring me all the time? If I've done something wrong, I genuinely apologize," pleaded the man. He continued to gaze intently at Arianna, who was busy pouring milk into her glass. Today, Samuel didn't have to work as it coincided with a holiday. He had plans to take his wife out. However, seeing Arianna still angry since last night, Samuel was puzzled on how to persuade her. "I'm not angry," replied Arianna. Meeting his gaze, she spoke
Arianna knew that her relationship with Samuel had started accidentally. It began with a plan to secure a big tender while deceiving Arabella, and they agreed to a contractual marriage. Over time, love grew between them. Samuel was even the first person to declare his love for the woman he had married. They both promised to take their marriage seriously, to care for each other, to support and complement each other, to stay together faithfully until the end of their lives. Seeing Samuel's sincerity, love, and affection over the years, Arianna doubted that her husband was up to something behind her back. However, after noticing several oddities and Samuel's increasingly strange behavior, Arianna decided to find out what was really going on. Arianna had every reason to be suspicious. Samuel's recent movements only added to her concerns. Like detectives in movies, Arianna sought Randy's help to tail her husband, who was heading somewhere unknown. From the office, they cautiously follow
"If you look at it, land preparation and access roads are not a problem anymore. I'm optimistic that this project can be completed within a maximum period of 2 years," Samuel said, currently discussing in the meeting room with Randy and Agatha. They were indeed in a discussion, talking about the apartments and shopping center that would soon be built. All three of them looked serious, exchanging ideas to be evaluated later. Agatha, starting to feel comfortable at Pasific, didn't miss a chance to hear how Samuel presented his ideas briefly. Agatha had to admit, her ex-boyfriend was very credible in carrying out his tasks and responsibilities. Agatha was even impressed by Samuel's demeanor, always serious in giving explanations. "When the towers here are completed, the next step will be the groundbreaking for the tower in Singapore, right?" Agatha asked to confirm. "Yes, that's correct," Samuel nodded. "That means our team will take turns staying in Singapore." Agatha smiled widely
Arianna watched her husband carefully as he enjoyed his breakfast. Since last night, she couldn't stop thinking. Where did Samuel go, actually? He claimed to be going out and wanted to meet Randy to discuss something. But, when directly asked, Randy himself didn't seem to know anything about it. He even insisted that he was at home because he had just returned from the office. So, did Samuel lie to her? But why? Why did her husband have to lie like that? Because of what happened last night, negative thoughts immediately flooded her mind. Full of questions, she pondered what Samuel was hiding because his behavior had been very strange lately. "Sweetheart," Arianna spoke up after taking a sip of warm milk from the glass she held. "Yes, what is it, honey?" Samuel replied, smiling at Arianna and waiting for her to speak. "Is there anything you want to tell me or talk about?" she asked cautiously, her words inviting questions in Samuel's mind. "Talk? About what?" he asked, puzzled by
"Finally, you're back here, Mrs. Agatha. Mr. Samuel and I hope that for the next two months, you'll be comfortable here in Indonesia and the Pacific," Randy warmly greeted Agatha as she returned to Indonesia. While discussing project schedules, he occasionally threw jokes to lighten the atmosphere. "Thank you very much for the warm welcome, Mr. Randy and Mr. Samuel. I'm truly delighted to be back here and working on projects with great people like both of you," replied Agatha with a smile. Her gaze didn't stray from the figure of the man in the gray suit, who was none other than Samuel. He was the one she wanted to meet at the company. Samuel reciprocated with an equally friendly smile. After Randy, it was his turn to speak. "I hope that during the project execution and supervision process, there won't be any significant obstacles or difficulties. Even if there are any problems or something that needs consultation later on, don't hesitate to ask for help from me, Mr. Randy, or any
Entering the eighth month of pregnancy, Arianna's belly was noticeably large. Fortunately, in this final trimester, she still had the freedom to engage in many activities. Despite feeling tired more quickly, she still enjoyed everything she did. Besides, it would be boring to just sit around or spend a lot of time watching TV and lounging in the room as Samuel often suggested."I think you should just stay home and enjoy some me-time. Whether it's watching Korean dramas, relaxing while snacking, or inviting someone over. Ask Chacha or Madam Laila to accompany you for a chat rather than going out alone," her husband often said.Arianna had heard this sentence many times from her husband's mouth. Somehow, in this second pregnancy, Samuel's worries were evident from the beginning."If I stay at home all the time, I'll get bored, Sam. I want to go to the office or go out. Spend time outside," Arianna replied.
