2024-10-29 19:42:56Samuel left the meeting room with a sense of uncertainty. He should be happy because the Pacific Board of Commissioners only imposed a suspension from office for three weeks. Even the fear of Pakuwon canceling the collaboration did not materialize. William, who was also present at the meeting, offered a conditional apology, asking for the major tender they were working on to be completed on time without any delays.
Still grappling with numerous questions in his mind, Samuel decided to go to Arabella's private room. As expected, his mother and her assistant were already there, discussing something.
"Mom, we need to talk seriously."
Arabella, who was chatting with Axton at the moment, reflexively turned. Rising from her chair, she moved to the sofa.
"What do you want to talk about now?"
"Everything. Mom owes Samuel a lot of explanations."
Arabella leaned her shoulders against the sofa, folded her hands in front of her chest, and spoke again.

"Mom, Arianna has followed all of Mom's orders. She even managed to convince Pakuwon to continue the collaboration with Pacific. So, why, in the end, was Arianna still separated from Samuel?"Arabella sneered cynically at Arianna. Although her daughter-in-law clearly displayed a sad expression, Arabella showed no concern or sympathy. Arabella's decision was final. She wanted her son and daughter-in-law to face punishment as a consequence of the cheating they had committed earlier."Choose to separate temporarily or permanently? The decision is in your hands, Arianna."Arianna immediately shook her head vigorously. Bringing her hand up, she then reached for Arabella's wrist, attempting to plead with her mother-in-law."No, Mom. Arianna, please don't separate Arianna and Samuel forever.""In that case, just follow what has been commanded. Don't argue too much. I really don't like people who protest a lot when they have committed a serious offense."

Samuel has lost count of how many times he's massaged his throbbing temples. Perhaps his blood pressure has plummeted due to not sleeping or resting at all since last night. All the time Samuel had, he dedicated to searching for Arianna. Last night, he tried contacting Chacha and a few other friends. And today, since morning, Samuel had been searching everywhere, even stopping at the orphanage to make sure of his wife's whereabouts, but the result remained futile."No sign of Arianna here, Mr. Samuel. She even last visited about a week ago, and it was just for a short while," Madam Laila recounted when Samuel visited the orphanage. "Why, sir? Is Arianna missing? What happened?"Samuel shook his head. Instead of getting an answer, he inadvertently made Laila suddenly panic and worry. If this was the case, he felt guilty himself."Arianna isn't missing, Madam. Samuel just wants to make sure if she's been here in the past few days or not."The orphanage was

Arianna thought that after experiencing a real marriage with Samuel, her life would run smoothly without obstacles. Just as she began to sip happiness, her marital bliss was suddenly disrupted. It all started with the return of Samuel's ex-lover from abroad, followed by the emergence of one problem after another. Surprisingly, it even led to uncovering Samuel's long-buried secrets, causing a sensation among the public.Samuel and Arianna were a united front, standing shoulder to shoulder. They made a concerted effort to work together to find solutions and resolve each problem that arose. Until the moment when everything was almost resolved, Arabella arrived and gave Arianna a task and punishment at the same time. Her mother-in-law managed to render Arianna powerless. Even when she was sent to another country, temporarily separated from her husband, Arianna had no choice but to comply.Now, after enduring deep sadness, Arianna felt a bit of joy when she saw a familiar m

Samuel was truly shocked by what he had just seen. The man's eyes were fixed on a series of photos uploaded by one of his cousins. From his own eyes, Samuel found several photos capturing moments of his cousin's closeness with his wife. Even when examined closely and repeatedly, he became increasingly convinced that the woman he had been searching for the past two days was indeed in Korea.At exactly 11 p.m., before deciding to rest completely, Samuel immediately tried to contact Celina. He really wanted to make sure if Arianna was indeed in Korea with them. However, after several attempts to contact her, Celina did not respond. Similarly, Darwin, the man, did not answer any of Samuel's calls. Whether intentional or perhaps because they were all already asleep, considering it was late at night in Korea.Ignoring his two cousins who were far away, Samuel chose to contact Randy this time. It only took two rings before the man on the other side answered the call."

Arianna could only contemplate her current fate. There was nothing she could do except eat, sleep, daydream, watch television in a language she didn't understand, or wait for Darwin, who always dropped by during breakfast or dinner.However, of all these activities, waiting for Darwin might be the most enjoyable. Every time he came, she never knew what he would bring. Moreover, his visits made Arianna feel like she had a storytelling companion. Honestly, she found it more comfortable to share her concerns with Darwin than complain to Rachel, who was clearly assigned as her assistant during their stay in Korea.For example, today, from the morning, Arianna chose to stay in her room until she got bored. It was only during lunchtime that she reluctantly left her room because she was forced to eat the prepared meal."Please enjoy your meal, Madam. If this menu doesn't suit your taste, you can ask me to change it," Rachel said politely. She stood right beside Arianna

One day earlier, Darwin was a bit surprised. Just moments after returning home and being there for a few minutes, he suddenly received a phone call from Samuel. If looked into and examined, the time at that moment was already showing midnight. Darwin was naturally curious about why Samuel was contacting him so late at night. However, due to concern that there might be an emergency, he quickly answered the call. And indeed, what Darwin suspected turned out to be true. In the phone conversation, Samuel asked Darwin to pick him up at a bar because he couldn't manage to get home on his own.Without hesitation, Darwin rushed to follow. Upon arriving at Alexis, he could see how concerning his cousin's condition was. Samuel's ramblings and scattered speech hinted that the man was truly at the lowest point in his life. Samuel repeatedly pleaded, asking Darwin urgently to inform him of his wife's whereabouts.Not only that, even when they returned to Darwin's home, Samuel conti

As Darwin had mentioned earlier, after work, he once again stopped by Arianna's residence. Unfazed, he brought various dishes as usual, as if Arianna's household assistant didn't provide food for the occupants. Erwin then invited his cousin and his wife to have a meal together while chatting. They discussed various topics while enjoying dinner."So, Rama and Valerie were reported to the authorities by Aunt Arabella?" Darwin asked curiously. Due to his distant location, he often missed out on a lot of news. Usually, Randy, who liked to share stories or information about important events in Indonesia."Yes. Mom is suing him for charges of sabotage, defamation, and unpleasant conduct. Maybe Rama has to experience imprisonment for one or two years," explained Samuel.Darwin nodded, feeling concerned about what happened to Rama. As a cousin, he actually felt sorry. However, since it was the man's own fault, he had to be accountable for it."Aunt Arabella never

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.
