Arianna blinked. When she looked to her side, she didn't find her husband there. Glancing at the neatly arranged digital clock on the nightstand, it showed seven in the morning.

Slowly, Arianna sat up, lifting her arms to stretch her stiff muscles. Thankfully, she had a very sound sleep last night. She couldn't even remember if she had any dreams or not.

Deciding to get up, Arianna crawled out of bed and headed towards the bathroom. After washing her face briefly, she exited the room. As soon as she opened the door, her sense of smell immediately caught the scent of delicious cooking, tempting her senses.

Instantly, her stomach grumbled. Following her instincts, Arianna walked slowly towards the source of the aroma until she stopped right in front of the dining room.

There, Arianna found the figure of the man she had been looking for. Samuel was busy cooking something, though she wasn't sure what exactly the menu was.

For a moment, Arianna chose to

Before I send it and report, please help check it first. Okay?"Samuel, sipping his milk, nodded. It's not difficult for him to check his wife's work to ensure optimal results. After all, they are required to collaborate so that the outcomes meet client expectations."Sure, honey. Every report you send, I always check first.""Alright. Let's go to work now. It wouldn't be nice to be late on the first day."Samuel immediately got up. Along with Arianna, they headed to the car.

As usual, the man gave a hug and a kiss to his wife."Morning my Queen," Samuel whispered while hugging Arianna tightly from behind.Arianna turned around. Smiling, she responded, "Good morning, dear. Why are you all dressed up? Where are you going? It's Sunday, after all."Samuel rested his chin on Arianna's shoulder. He then answered his wife's question. "Just wanted to look sharp. Today, I'm taking you out.""Where to?""It's a surprise. But I'm sure you'll love it."Arianna turned off the stove in front of her. Turning around, she threw a questioning glance at Samuel.

    Randy could see how Samuel, who just came out of the meeting room, seemed so irritable, unlike his usual self. And now, in his office, he had already massaged his forehead more than three times, probably feeling some discomfort.He wondered what Samuel was feeling or experiencing. Curious, he decided to address it and find out what was really happening with his cousin."Sam, what's up? You seem really tense."Samuel immediately shot a glance at Randy.Taking a deep breath, he leaned back against the chair for a moment, then responded."Man, I have such a bad headache.""Why are you having a headache?"Randy became even more curious. Recalling their recent attendance at an important meeting, he thought that might be what was making Samuel so edgy right now."It's about Arianna's pregnancy."Apparently, Randy's guess was completely off. He thought there was an issue with work, but it turned out that the reason for his cous

    "Samuel, can you go to the hospital now? Arianna's about to give birth. She said the baby won't come out unless her daddy accompanies her."Samuel rushed hurriedly as he crossed the hospital corridor towards the delivery room. Just finishing a meeting, his mother called, delivering the news and urging him to hurry because Arianna's water had broken.Luckily, Arianna's pregnancy was already well past due. That's why, upon arriving at the room, Samuel was immediately ushered in by the nurse. The doctor then informed him that his wife was already experiencing contractions and was dilated, indicating she would give birth soon."How much longer until my wife gives birth, doc?" Samuel asked Dr. Annastasia when he was in the delivery room. Meanwhile, Arianna seemed restless, visibly enduring the pain of contractions that hit her every few minutes."The dilation in your wife is progressing quickly, Mr. Samuel. In fact, when her water broke earlier, she was alread

Inviting the entire extended family, some friends, a few colleagues, and not forgetting the children from the orphanage to join in this festive occasion.Like any typical child, Kalvin himself seemed visibly delighted. The toddler hadn't stopped smiling and laughing since receiving so many gifts dominated by toys."Kalvin, happy birthday. Since you like cars, Uncle Randy got you lots of toy cars.""Thank you, Uncle Randy."Kalvin smiled happily. Not only Randy, but Darwin and Samuel's other cousin also gave gifts that were more or less the same.However, as if inheriting his mother's nature, once the birthday party was over, Kalvin did somethin

"What are you cooking?"Arianna approached, as usual, wrapping her arms around Samuel from behind, a habit of hers that often bothered him when he was cooking, just like now.Samuel turned around, smiled back, and answered his wife's question."Last night, before bedtime, Kalvin requested crispy chicken fried rice. So, I'm cooking it this morning as per his request. Let him be motivated.""It's so nice to be Kalvin. Whatever he asks for, you just follow. I'm jealous," Arianna muttered, pretending to b

    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.
