No man is as trashy as Adam. He honeymooned with two women in secret. He had planned this out pretty well beforehand.
Adam spent a week at the hotel so he could share his time with Maya and Sabrina simultaneously without Maya and his father finding out. Meanwhile, he prepared a smoother plan ahead to achieve all of his goals: wealth, love, honor, and happiness.
Adam knew that the innocent woman he would sacrifice was Maya. However, he planned to give her a large sum of alimony so she could live comfortably and find a new husband. Her disappointment would be bought with enough money. Who wouldn't want it if the amount he offered would later be compared to the salary of working for his company as a CEO secretary for life?
Adam was sure that Maya would agree because the reason this innocent-looking woman wanted to be betrothed to him was definitely because of money. What's more, shouldn't everyone choose their own path in life? Not an arranged marriage, unless there were other factors, such as money, and that's what's in Adam's head at the moment. How could Maya agree to an arranged marriage with him if he were a poor man?
Tonight was the fourth night of the newlyweds staying in the hotel. Like the previous days, after Adam spent time with Maya, he would visit Sabrina as soon as he could. He didn’t forget to add the sleeping powder to his wife’s drink so she would sleep soundly all night.
However, during the day, Adam's time could only be spent on Maya. When they had a romantic meal at a restaurant, Sabrina could only eat alone in her room if she didn't want to cross paths and see firsthand the intimacy of her lover with his wife.
While Adam and Maya spent the afternoon swimming and walking on the beach, Sabrina had to fight hard not to get jealous when they were in the same place at the same time. This, of course, really tormented Sabrina's mind.
Frequently, Sabrina cried, lamenting her fate. Why did she have to live this kind of ridiculous life? Even though the money and facilities she got were similar to Maya's, she wanted more from Adam. Even though his love and heart were only for her, she wanted public recognition that she was the one for him.
Sadly, she realized that Maya was still around, standing proudly between her and him.
Sabrina slammed the door loudly. She lay down on the bed crying. Should she just give up? Why was it so hard to keep the forbidden relationship?
Unable to stand the silence of the room, Sabrina went outside for a walk. When it was dark like this, she could be sure that Adam and Maya had entered the room, doing lovey-dovey things that he said were an obligation.
Sabrina thought not seeing Adam and Maya making out would make her feel better. However, it was not like that. Her mind was filled with images of him making love with Maya. The same hand that touched her must also have touched that woman. Everything that was in Adam was not only hers but also Maya's.
It was really hard to share a man she loved if it wasn't for love. There's no way she would have agreed to live a silly life.
Sabrina decided to swim to forget everything. As he walked by the hotel swimming pool, he suddenly bumped into someone's body, a hard one.
Sabrina fell on top of a tall, muscular man, taller and more athletic than Adam. His green eyes stared intently at her, and his blonde hair reminded her of someone she knew.
"Leo?" asked Sabrina in surprise. "You're Leonardo Warren, no?"
"Bree?" The man named Leo was both surprised and happy to find Sabrina in his arms. "Long time no see, gorgeous!"
When Sabrina realized how inappropriate their current poses were, she immediately stood up and pulled her towel tighter. Embarrassed, she lowered her head and apologized to the handsome creature before her.
"Sorry, I should have been more careful," Sabrina said, not looking Leo in the face because of their bad last encounter. "Clumsy is my middle name. Ahahahaha!" Sabrina added, laughing even though she knew her words weren't funny at all.
However, Leo laughed crisply. "It's okay! You're not that heavy, Bree! I loved your weight on me," he answered casually. "How are you?" He looked at her with a seductive look.
"Of course, I'm fine. As you can see right now. Healthy and happy, right?" Sabrina answered Leo's question formally. They then chatted on a bench by the swimming pool.
"Hahaha, right! You do look sexier than the last time we met," Leo joked without hesitation. He used to speak his mind bluntly.
Leo was Sabrina's former lover. When the woman was tired of fighting for love and trying to run from Adam, she dated Leo. However, they separated because, in the end, Sabrina couldn't forget Adam.
She had a bad experience with Leo. She was extremely embarrassed because of one or two inappropriate things that happened in the past.
Sabrina accidentally called out Adam's name when Leo was about to make love to her. Soon after, they both chose not to take their relationship to the next level. A month later, Sabrina decided to come back to Adam, even though she had to become Adam's secret lover.
"You're still together with Adam?" Leo asked casually. He wanted to know the development of Sabrina's current love affair.
Sabrina just nodded slowly. However, her current bad mood made her pretty face too honest, sad, and somber. She was like what people said: an open book to Leo. Even though he wasn't sensitive to women's feelings, the man knew that Sabrina wasn't happy.
"Bree, are you all right?" Leo asked, concerned. He took a sip of the cold drink at the table that the waiter had just brought over.
"I already told you that I'm fine, Leo," Sabrina replied bitterly. She then took a sip of her drink. "Oh, what is this? So sour," Sabrina grumbled.
Leo took Sabrina's drink and tasted it. “It might be… um … lime. It looks like you ordered the wrong one because they added something else. Maybe … the super sour star fruit?”
"Crap! My life sucks," Sabrina grumbled with a very annoyed face.
Leo, who felt bad, immediately ordered a new drink for Sabrina. The man called the waiter and ordered a sweet fruit milkshake for Sabrina.
"Please bring a strawberry milkshake for the lady!" said Leo to the waiter.
"I don't want a milkshake, Leo," Sabrina protested again. Her face crumpled in annoyance because Leo couldn't remember things she didn't like.
"Okay, just mango juice then," Leo said to the waiter who was forced to cross out the order that was made earlier.
This time Sabrina did not protest. Leo took her silence as a sign of approval. However, it turned out that Sabrina's mood cannot be fixed with just a glass of sweet mango juice. Leo still saw traces of disappointment in that beautiful and sexy figure who was lazily stirring the juices.
"Shall we have a party? Drinking the problem away will be fun, no?" Leo tried to cheer her up. The childish smile on Leo's face conveyed sincerity. "It is on me!" he added so that Sabrina would not refuse because the price of drinks provided by the rooftop bar at the hotel was quite expensive.
Sabrina laughed at Leo's way of speaking. "Oh, mister, so … do you have a lot of money now?" asked Sabrina in a joking tone. In the past, they used to share the bills.
"Not bad! I work as a bodyguard now. The pay is quite high," Leo replied with a sweet smile, making his masculine face look childish.
"Okay! I'm honored to receive your hard-earned money," Sabrina replied in the end.
"Good, you can smile now," Leo said, feeling relieved. He cast a glance full of admiration at Sabrina's beautiful smile.
"Thank you," Sabrina whispered, still smiling. At least, she felt that she would have fun and be able to forget all the troubles for a moment tonight.
Moments later, Sabrina followed Leo to a rooftop bar and had a great time there. She accompanied Leo for drinks and danced together.
"You're still an amazing dancer, Bree!" Leo exclaimed while shaking his body, following the music played by a famous DJ. "It feels good to dance with you again after such a long time."
"Oh, can you just shut your player mouth?" Sabrina brushed it aside as she knew Leo's old habits all too well. The man really loved to change partners, just like changing his socks. In fact, he felt that having a relationship without commitment was more suitable for him. "You always say this to all the women on the dance floor, don't you?" she added as she raised her hands, shaking her round ass. She was getting more and more enthusiastic.
Leo burst out laughing. He was happy because Sabrina looked so amused by dancing. “You should party a lot, Bree! Your life will end if you just lock yourself in your gloomy room.”
Sabrina just nodded at Leo's advice. She did not deny it because she was too lazy to argue. Moments later, the woman looked at the watch on her left wrist that read 11:00 p.m. In an hour, Adam would go to her room. There was still enough time to go back to the room and clean up. She didn't want Adam to smell the cigarette off of her body.
“I have to go back to my room?” she said in regret.
“What? Curview?” Leo asked in disbelief.
Sabrina packed her things up. The man offered to take her to the room. Sabrina felt bad for rejecting Leo's kindness. The two of them walked into the room casually.
When they were about to part ways, Leo, who was still under the influence of alcohol, suddenly pulled Sabrina's body and claimed her plump lips without permission. She tried to refuse, but couldn't. Then, over time, she dissolved into his deep kiss. She couldn’t help enjoying it, he was such a great kisser.
After a while, Leo pulled away from the kiss. Sabrina could feel his hot breath, heavy with the scent of alcohol, brushing against her face.
"I'm in room 703. Here's my phone number. Come to my room if you'd like, or call me if you need anything. I'll be there for you, Bree!" Leo said in a hoarse voice, his eyes full of desire, tempting any woman to crawl happily into his bed.
Sabrina stared at Leo, stunned. She didn't expect that the chat would develop this far. "What do you mean by inviting me to your room, huh?" Sabrina's eyes fell on Leo in annoyance.
"Just kidding!" replied Leo, who was now laughing his butt off. His body was still unable to straighten up due to the alcohol. "I'm on vacation. Next week I'll be working with a new client. So, why don’t we make this week count?"
Sabrina couldn't help laughing too. "Damn! You almost made me misunderstand you!" she said, quite relieved. “I have Adam. Don't make me betray him!” Sabrina said as she hit Leo's chest gently.
Leo immediately returned to his room via the stairs. Meanwhile, Sabrina, still feeling confused and her heart pounding fast from Leo's kiss, hurried into her own room. She knew she needed to freshen up quickly. She couldn't greet Adam with the scent of another man clinging to her body.
"Gosh, Adam will be mad if he smells Leo's perfume on my shirt," Sabrina thought to herself. She slapped her face, realizing that kissing another man while she was in a relationship was a mistake and a betrayal to Adam.
"Oh, Sabrina! Sabrina! What did you just do with Leo? You have Adam, Bree!" she scolded herself, regretting everything that had happened. She knew Leo couldn't be completely blamed because he didn't know the situation.
As Sabrina was about to go into the bathroom, the doorbell suddenly rang. Her heart started pounding. Who could it be? Adam?
When Sabrina looked through the peephole, she saw that it was indeed her husband who had come to her room early. "Oh no, what do I do?" she panicked. She had to open the door immediately to avoid suspicion.
As soon as she opened the door, she saw Adam's sour face. He was staring at her intently. In an unfriendly voice, he asked, "Where have you been?"
Adam's sharp gaze struck the heart of Sabrina's feelings. A powerful way to make people who feel guilty feel even more guilty."I was having fun … a little," Sabrina replied flatly. She didn't avoid Adam's eyes, trying to hide her feelings of guilt for kissing a man other than the man in front of her. Even though, in this case, she was innocent... err, maybe she was a little guilty of enjoying and welcoming Leo's kiss."With whom? Where?" Adam demanded. He didn't like Sabrina's distinctive way of arguing. There must be something she's hiding. "Earlier, I went to your room many times. I waited for more than two hours, and you haven't come back yet."Sabrina turned around and said, "None of your business whom I'm going with!" She kept walking, entered the bathroom, and said, "Besides, I didn't know you'd come so soon. Usually, you're busily lulling your wife to sleep, right?""Sabrina! What's wrong with you?" Adam snapped at her. He didn't understand why Sabrina suddenly seemed to blame
Sabrina closed the conversation with Adam with mixed feelings. She had already agreed to Adam's plan. However, her emotions made her break her promise and demand more, making Adam work harder to give her what she asked for. He was even willing to take the risk of lying to Maya for the sake of spending some one-on-one time with Sabrina.Knowing this, Sabrina felt slightly embarrassed, although she was pleased with Adam's sincerity. She also wore a thin smile on her lips and planned to forgive Adam for his treatment the night before. No, Adam wasn't wrong. She was wrong. She was the one who almost had an affair with Leo last night.Not only did she kiss Leo in front of the room, but Sabrina almost had an illicit relationship with Leo because of her seductions, even though Leo had refused. It was truly her betrayal, based on the desire for revenge.Last night, Sabrina went to Leo's room and cried, complaining about all the suffering she had to endure for being Adam's secret woman. Adam h
Maya introduced herself warmly, extending her hand to Leo and giving him a sweet smile. In her heart, she was surprised that the blond man named Leo seemed to be taken aback by her name. Was it really that unfamiliar name?"Maya?" Leo asked again, his eyes widening and squinting alternatively, showing genuine confusion."Yes, that's right. Maya!" Maya replied, a little confused but still smiling. Her eyebrows were raised with curiosity about Leo's behavior. It was the first time someone had been surprised by her name."So... you're Maya?" Leo asked again, making Maya increasingly annoyed."Yes, that's right. M. A. Y. A. Maya!" Maya spelled out her name with patience."Oh, Maya!" Leo nodded.Maya restrained herself, then nodded while still smiling innocently. She then pulled her hand away because Leo had held it for too long and too tightly. It was probably unintentional, as Leo's mind was currently preoccupied with something else.Hearing the name Maya reminded Leo of Adam's gold-digg
Maya walked along unfamiliar streets, unsure where they would lead. However, as the atmosphere grew quieter and more suspicious, Maya decided to return to the original path.Looking around, the slender woman swallowed her saliva. The silence was the only thing coloring the atmosphere around her. Closed shops and graffiti spray-painted by street artists made Maya certain that she should not have taken this route.The sun was almost setting. Soon, it would be dark. If she didn't find her way back soon, this vacation would surely turn into a disaster, or even worse."Oh, God! How could I still call myself a secretary?" Maya cursed her own stupidity.It was all because of a trivial matter. She couldn't remember the name of the hotel she was staying at. Since it wasn't her who arranged everything, Maya forgot to remember all the details.The problem worsened when she used too much cash and forgot to bring her credit card. Buying a lot of milk and biscuits at the minimarket was unplanned. M
The two criminals stopped and looked at the man who was standing in the middle of them. They exchanged glances as if they could understand each other's thoughts without speaking."What do you want? Are you looking for trouble, huh?" asked one of them fiercely.The chubby man turned, stood up, and walked towards the man who was trying to stop him. "Do you want to have some fun, Bro? She's so pretty, isn't she? Look! There are rarely beautiful women walking here on purpose," the chubby man asked while reaching out his hand to the blonde man's shoulder to invite him to party.However, the blonde man caught the chubby man's wrist and twisted it with all his might. The chubby man screamed in pain, then he tried to attack the blonde man with a kick that he thought would kill his opponent's movement.Unfortunately, his efforts were in vain because the blonde man was much more agile than the chubby man. He easily caught the criminal's leg. Then, he twisted and threw his opponent with all his
The cold night wind did not in the least cool Leo's feelings. Maya, lying weak and covered in blood, looked at him with eyes that were growing increasingly heavy."Are you okay?" Maya asked in a weak and stuttering whisper that only Leo could hear. Maya forced a smile as sweet as possible so that Leo would not be sad.Leo could only answer with panic and shaking his head. He couldn't believe Maya had helped him, even sacrificed her life for him. Why did this woman do something so brave for a stranger like him?Medical personnel quickly took Maya to the hospital. Leo accompanied the unfortunate woman. He knew he was a sinner. But this time, Leo believed in God and prayed to Him to save Maya.The commotion only clouded Leo's eyes and ears. He didn't care. His focus was only one thing. Maya had to survive no matter what."Doctor, please save her! No matter how much it costs and whatever it takes, Doc! Just as long as she survives," Leo said, half-conscious. The man's facial expression on
Meanwhile, at the hospital, an extremely undesirable situation occurred. Maya's condition suddenly became more concerning as she lost a lot of blood and needed a blood transfusion."I tried to stop Maya's bleeding by plugging her wound," Leo said incredulously, not believing what the doctor had told him."Sorry, we're just informing you of the actual situation," the doctor who replied, looking unhappy with Leo's current panic."Okay, so what's the problem, Doc?" Leo asked rudely, wiping his tired face. "You can just give her blood trans—""Oh my god! We're out of O negative blood supply!" one of the other doctors handling Maya exclaimed in panic. He had just received confirmation from the blood bank that the blood supply they needed was currently unavailable."What's your blood type?" Another doctor approached Leo and asked for his blood type. Unfortunately, Leo's blood type was not what they were hoping for."A," Leo replied weakly. "Negative."Without even mentioning his rhesus type
Meanwhile, at the hospital, Leo watched Maya's condition with concern as she still felt weak after the surgery. He was very grateful that Maya survived because of the help of the kids. It was truly a miracle."Leo! You haven't slept since last night! Your eyes are swollen and black..." Maya woke up and realized Leo was by her side. In her heart, Maya felt very grateful, even though her husband was not there, God sent a kind stranger named Leo to accompany her to the hospital. "Oh, my God! What about the payment later? Can you get the credit card that I left in the room?""Of course! Don't worry!" Leo answered to calm Maya. He reached out and put his arm around Maya's shoulder, then gently laid her back down on the uncomfortable hospital bed. "Don't worry about unimportant things!"Leo's face could not smile. His heart was crying. He licked his lips to suppress all the emotions that had settled and dominated his heart at this time. He wanted to take Maya away from Adam and Sabrina. He
Five years have passed since Maya’s death. Now, the twins have grown into healthy and active children."Paul, Freya! Come down and finish your breakfast!" 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
Sabrina was supposed to feel like the world and everything in it belonged to her. Maya had left. So had Mr. Paul. Adam was hers, completely. But reality seemed to be mocking her because she felt the opposite. She often remembered her own baby who hadn't survived when she was born prematurely at six months old. 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. Not everyone is blessed with compassion like Maya. Sabrina and Mr. Paul are like that.Until this point, Sabrina might have been able to endure because Adam didn't demand that she love the twins. But what made Sabrina's situation difficult was Adam's inability to give her another child naturally.Sometime after Maya left, Adam's biological desires s
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
That day was the day Adam had been waiting for. Paul and Freya came out of the NICU after having been treated there for ten weeks. 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. The answer was only one. He was worried about h
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
Sabrina walked slowly along the corridor, feeling a pain in her stomach. She didn't expect that today's activity would exhaust her. 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
