That was Maya's third day in the hospital. Maya asked Leo not to accompany her all day. She told Leo to go back to the hotel and take care of himself.

Maya felt extremely guilty. Leo's vacation was ruined because of what happened to her. If only she had not been careless, she would not have met the criminals.

That day, Maya had to go back to the hotel. Her husband would be returning from his business meeting soon, and her dead phone would not help explain anything about her whereabouts in the hospital.

That's why Maya quickly changed clothes and left the hospital room. She felt better and would ask to be discharged at that time and took care of all the administrative matters.

"I'm sorry, but in this hospital, we can't provide treatment until there's a guarantee of payment. So, your treatment costs have been covered, and you don't need to pay anymore," the administrative officer explained briefly to Maya without any intention of providing details.

"But who paid for this huge amount?" M

    After arriving at the apartment, Maya opened her suitcase and rearranged all the contents. She immediately took the dirty clothes to the kitchen area and put them all in the side-opening washing machine located near the pantry. Her wound was still sore, for sure, but she didn't want Adam to know and worry about it.Done with the laundry, Maya returned to the room and tidied up the remaining items. She put her marriage certificate back into the file holder. She then double-checked her handbag's contents and ensured everything was there. She didn't forget to take out the carcass of her phone wrapped in a zipper plastic and put it on the nightstand."Your phone is broken?" Adam asked Maya after he came out of the bathroom, about to take his casual clothes. The dark-haired man was slightly surprised by the coincidence that happened to them."Yes. Sorry! Have you had trouble reaching me?" Maya asked with a perfect act. Her face looked fine as if nothing bad had happened to her."Well, not

That's why Adam never wanted Sabrina to become his secretary. Moreover, Sabrina was not as good as Maya in her work.Adam had to work hard even to organize files and schedule meetings that sometimes overlapped. Something he wouldn't have to do if Maya was his secretary. However, Adam was determined to go through all of this for the sake of his love and inheritance. Isn't it necessary to work harder to achieve a goal?Adam once wanted to hire Maya again at the office so that his head would not explode from dealing with things that should not be his concern. However, considering that he had already agreed to this with Sabrina, it was impossible for her to accept it if Adam changed his mind. Once he looked to the right, Sabrina would not give him a chance to look to the left."Goodness! Two meetings at the s

    It had been a month since Sabrina replaced Maya as the secretary. During that month, Adam worked very hard, but many of his tasks remained incomplete, no matter how much he tried his best.Now, in front of Adam, his father had a stern expression on his face, as if he was going to devour his only son alive. He was clearly dissatisfied with Adam's performance."What have you been doing at the office? I asked Maya, and she said you even had to work overtime. Why am I receiving such a poor performance report from you?" said Mr. Paul in a loud tone. He sat in Adam's chair with his legs crossed, letting his son stand there motionless and guilty without being able to adequately defend himself."I heard you often cancel appointments with clients suddenly. Three investors even canceled their intention to work with our company. All in just one month! And that's your extraordinary achievement," Mr. Paul scolded while slamming the desk. His eyes were glaringly red as if they were about to pop out

    It had been ten days since Adam started his mission to manage his workload at the office and home. Sabrina didn't seem angry at Elena, the senior secretary who was assigned to handle more tasks and check her work again.Due to the overwhelming amount of work and higher targets than usual, Adam didn't have time to take care of himself. He often skipped meals. Even though Sabrina invited him to have lunch or dinner, Adam was only focused on his work. He didn't want to disappoint his father who allowed him to fix the problems in the office. If he failed, all his efforts so far would be in vain.On the other hand, Maya, who only had positive thoughts about Adam, felt sorry for her husband's poor condition. She observed the face of the man who was currently sleeping soundly beside her. Adam's body lately looked thinner. His face didn't look fresh at all. Like he hadn't been eating or resting enough."Are you too busy and not eating well, Honey?" whispered Maya softly. She then kissed her h

    Sabrina smiled contentedly as Adam approached her at the restaurant, without a hint of disappointment on his face. She knew he was bringing food today. She deliberately asked Adam to eat out with her to test who he prioritized.Sabrina would be thrilled when Adam arrived cause she was still a priority. If Adam chose to eat the food that Maya made, Sabrina would feel that she had been surpassed by Maya. The woman was very worried that Adam might be fascinated by Maya's goody-two-shoes personality. That's why she couldn't act badly in front of Adam.Sabrina welcomed Adam with a sweet smile that melted his heart. He was happy that Sabrina was no longer angry. They both ordered food and talked about light topics unrelated to their morning quarrel.Peace enveloped Adam's feelings. Satisfaction erupted in Sabrina's heart. It was very different from what Maya was experiencing now.Maya still couldn't stop feeling sad. Was Adam just pretending to be nice to her all this time? Why did he accep

    Maya didn't want to believe what she was seeing right now was true. But everything was so real. Her husband, who had always been good to her, was doing something he shouldn't do with another woman.Something that was only hers, which should only be for her, Adam was now doing it with another woman. They seemed so absorbed that they didn't care about their surroundings, not realizing the presence of others who witnessed such a painful act for Maya."Adam... I love you!" the woman who was on top of Adam exclaimed as she arched her back."I love you more, Baby! You're the only one...." Adam replied with a heavy, restrained voice before his lips claimed the woman's lips. "Only you in my heart, Honey!"Of course, Adam's last sentence shattered Maya's world into pieces. The husband she thought was destined for her actually loved another woman. Not her!The sight of the hot scene was only two meters away from the heartbreaking scene. The most unwanted contrast for anyone to see, of course.M

    Sabrina brought the food she ordered into Adam's room with mixed feelings. On one hand, she was glad that Maya had found out about what had been hidden all this time. On the other hand, she was worried about Adam's position in his father's eyes.What if Maya complained to her father-in-law? Would Adam be punished by his father? If so, who would Adam choose?"Adam, what if things don't go the way you want them to..." Sabrina paused for a moment, trying to choose her words carefully so as not to ruin the mood. "If we get caught red-handed, will you choose me or your father's inheritance?"Adam was taken aback by Sabrina's pessimistic tone of questioning. He paused chewing his burger for a moment and said, "I played it clean. I've calculated everything carefully. It's impossible to get caught!"Adam quickly resumed eating and gulped down his cola straight from the glass for a more satisfying drink. He didn't want to waste time with Sabrina's questions, which only raised anxious feelings

Then, once again, he punched Adam until his nose and lips bleeding. Meanwhile, Sabrina could only scream, begging Leo to stop. "Leo! Stop! Or I'll call the police." "Just call them and I'll announce your depravity to the world!" Leo challenged, not caring. He then swung his punch again at Adam's face. Adam, who didn't have good self-defense skills like Adam, just became the punching bag. Especially with a tired body condition, he couldn't resist Leo at all. He just groaned without knowing why he was being brutally beaten. "Leo! Stop! At this rate, he will die!" Sabrina exclaimed, unable to hold back her anxiety. Adam's condition looked very bad. He couldn't survive for a few more moments. "You will be jailed!" Leo paused his brutal action for a moment. Sabrina was right, Adam looked helpless a

Adam shouted from below, calling his two children who could be heard being noisy upstairs as they changed clothes."Dad, Paul hid my doll! I wanted to take it with me when we pick up Uncle Leo at the airport!" Freya replied, her voice almost on the verge of tears. The little girl with dark wavy hair looked more and more like her mother as she grew older."Liar! You forgot where you put your ugly rabbit doll. Don't accuse me randomly!" Paul retorted in a high-pitched voice.Paul’s dark eyes sharply looked at his younger sister, who was smaller in size. He looked a lot like his father at that state. With a stronger and bigger body, he often teased Freya. Even though he was punished many times, teasing his twin was like a drug he would continue to do no matter what the consequences were.This kind of morning commotion in the Wilson man

Physically, her baby had been in better condition than Maya's twins. She couldn't accept that fate. To make matters worse, why did she have to help take care of Maya's children?Sabrina, who used to hate Mr. Paul because he couldn't love Adam even though he loved his wife very much, has become very understanding of what Mr. Paul did.

    Adam's financial management was much better than when he was younger. When he received his salary, he immediately invested some of the money, set aside some for emergencies, and used the rest to cover his family's daily needs.However, Adam's firmness regarding finances was also one of the reasons for Sabrina's annoyance. She didn't agree with all the financial limitations that Adam imposed. She couldn't understand why she couldn't use the luxurious facilities that belonged to Adam's children. Didn't she also occasionally help Adam take care of the twins?"Adam, I just want to borrow this limo once to go to the party. Why won't you allow me?" Sabrina protested loudly. She had already prepared herself beautifully to go to the party and felt very frustrated because her efforts seemed futile. How could a woman with makeup like a queen go to a party in the ordinary family car that Adam drove to work every day? "Even if this belongs to the children, why can't I borrow it once or twice for

Of course, Adam didn't forget to bring Sabrina along to pick up the twins.After all, Sabrina was going to be the stepmother to Paul and Freya. Although Sabrina had initially declined when Adam invited her to visit the kids in the hospital while they were still undergoing treatment, Adam didn't want to give up on bringing them closer. He wanted there to be a bond between mother and child that was established among them."Bree, I'll wait downstairs, okay!" Adam exclaimed nervously. He was really impatient to pick up Paul and Freya.Sabrina did not answer. She lazily applied makeup to her face, hoping that time would pass quickly and Adam would leave her out of boredom. "Sabrina, my love! If you don't come down soon, I'll come up and carry you down. Remember, we're also starting to move to the mansion today!" Adam shouted after waiting for Sabrina for thirty

    A man stepped out of an Uber and stopped at a simple rented house in a suburban area. The man looked tidy, even though his clothes weren't too expensive. It was just a standard quality outfit purchased from a middle-class store. Anyone would never have guessed that the man who got off the ride-sharing service was the CEO of one of the big companies in the city.He had recently returned to his leadership position there after being fired a few months ago by the previous company owner. He could sit back in that position only by the grace of the Almighty. It was just because of His miracle that the man was still given a chance to once again hold an important role in the company that had thrown him away because of the scandal he played.The tired-looking young man slowly unlocked the gate of the rented house so as not to wake the surrounding neighbors. He also carefully opened the front door of the house so as not to wake his wife, who might already be asleep."Are you just coming home?" a

    Adam looked at the two little creatures in front of him with tears streaming down his face. So small and fragile. They needed tubes to help them survive."My children...." Adam whispered emotionally, making Leo feel that Maya's decision to hand over her babies to their biological father was the right choice.Blood is thicker than water. That's how it is. Adam loved his children because they were his own flesh and blood."She was so happy when she found out she was pregnant with twins. So was I. I even cursed how lucky you were," Leo recalled the moments when Maya cheered upon finding out the gender of her babies. "If only she was pregnant with a man who truly loved her, it would have been even more joyous. Do you know how Maya felt when she saw you and Sabrina happy when you found out the gender of your baby?"Adam swallowed hard. He looked up remembering all the mistreatment he had given Maya."However, her happiness disappeared when the doctor diagnosed her with severe pre-eclampsia

    The small kitchen in a charming, athletic man's tiny apartment was now filled with the tempting aroma of butter. Not only did the smell of food make the mouth water, but there was also another equally enticing sight. The training pants, which he was wearing in the kitchen, hung too low on his waist, making any woman who looked at it unable to pass a day without feeling hot because of the beautiful sight.If there was a woman there, all five senses would be indulged with worldly pleasures because the sound of the man holding a pan and tongs would make the hearts of all women tremble while talking. Don't ask what sensation it would feel like if that melodious voice whispered in your ear; it was guaranteed that the world's angels would float even though there were no wings attached to their backs.However, at the same time, anyone who saw the man's sad face at the moment would surely feel sorry and wonder why that charming Adonis was upset.

    Adam's first punch hit Leo's face. However, Leo successfully blocked the second one."Adam! Stop it! Why did you suddenly hit Leo!" Maya yelled, trying to stop Adam's rage.Adam didn't care. He still tried to attack Leo. Meanwhile, Leo, who could easily defeat his opponent, was busy blocking and defending himself from Adam's attacks. He didn't have the heart to hit Adam because Maya was standing next to him."Hey! Why are you acting like this? Remember, we're in a hospital!" whispered Leo softly but firmly."What did you do to Sabrina, huh? A witness said that my wife fell after a big blonde guy scared her!" Adam replied angrily. "Who else could it be if not you!"Leo frowned. He was confused by Adam's question. He did have some unfriendly chat with Sabrina, but was it really that bad to put her in a critical condition?"It's you! You must have told Leo to scare Sabrina, right? You don't want to see my family happy, do you?" Adam accused Maya now. Adam's eyes, blinded by anger and hat

After all, walking two kilometers from her apartment to the hospital was not an easy task for a pregnant woman like her.The gentle ringtone of her phone startled Sabrina. She then answered the call from her husband. Sabrina was very anxious. She was afraid that Adam had already come home earlier and found their apartment empty."Sabrina, where are you?" Adam asked with a worried tone."I...I went out for a moment. My pregnancy supplements ran out," Sabrina answered, slightly stuttering because she didn't ask Adam's permission to meet Maya today. If her husband knew, he would surely oppose her frontal action. After all, Adam would see it as begging Maya to fix their financial situation."Where are you? I'll come to pick you up!" Adam sounded really concerned that his wife was out alone. He didn't want anything to happen to Sabrina and their baby. The last
