The Bride from Auction 21 - Angela's Parents
We got back to the United States and never talked about what happened in Hong Kong. I didn't ask Javier or anything else, he didn't open up about it either so I let it go.We arrived at the mansion with food ready on the dining table. I didn't know what was there so I turned to Javier with surprise. "What's up? Why is there food prepared? Do you have a visitor?” I asked him.He gave our suitcase to the helpers before answering me. "Yes, they will come later," he answered.He came to me, which I was wondering about. "Why?" I asked him. He smiled."I just want to apologize for what happened in Hong Kong. From what my friends had done and said, I didn't expect it to happen like that."I just said that I don't want to talk about it either but I didn't expect him to open the topic about what happened in Hong Kong."It's okay, I'll forget that too. Maybe I need to get used to the reaction people will have every time they see me." I smiled at him, not letting it be known that I wasn't really

I was just at the mansion and Javier was going out to work. A week has passed since we returned home from Hong Kong. A lot happened from our wedding day to our honeymoon day. I still haven't talked to my family so that's my plan for today. Javier told me that if I was going somewhere, I would just let my driver who he provided for me to accompany me."Are you coming?" I asked Sandy who was dressed. She nodded and smiled."Yes ma'am. That's Sir Javier's order that I will accompany you if you’re going somewhere."I frowned at what she said. There's no need to accompany me because I'm just going to visit my family. "I'm sorry, Sandy. But it's okay if you don't accompany me. I can handle myself, and I am sure nothing will happen to me. I assure you that andI will just go to my family," I explained to her with a smile.She also smiled at me and shook her head. "I know that, Ma’am. But Sir Javier ordered us to go with you. And he also thought that you might be going somewhere else. I'm not

I slowly stop myself from hugging Javier. I looked at him with confusion on my face. "What's happening?" That was the first thing that came out of my mouth. I also slowly looked around and the people who were standing earlier were still there."I'll explain inside, let's go." Javier took my hand and let me go inside where we were.Even though I was curious, I followed him. The people had separated as if they had gone back to what they were doing and it was as if nothing had happened.Javier made me sit on the sofa, facing the desk that was similar to the one in his office at home. "This is my office. Here, drink water.” He handed me a glass of water. I took it and drank it, I could still feel the tremors in my body because of what happened so I felt Javier sit next to me and hold my hand."I'm sorry..." that's what came out of his mouth that confused me, I just looked at him seriously. "I'm sorry if you experience this tonight.""What do you mean you're sorry? Do you know why this ha

I can't move from where I'm standing, the earlier rapid heartbeat of my chest is even faster now. The fear that I feel now, I can’t understand as if this is my last day.Is this really what I see? Is she Angela? And what? Am I her twin sister? So, I'm not a real child of my parents? But how? How did I end up with my family now and get away from my real family?"I do not know what you're saying. Let me go.” I stammered.I tried to distance myself from her but I had nowhere to go, the door was locked. She brought her face even closer to me."I know you know what I'm talking about, Janiyah…hmm, you probably think I'm really dead like the idiots around you, right?"I didn't answer what she said. Yes, she's already dead. That's what Javier and other people around me said but what do I see now?“I don't know what you need from me but you can't get anything from me—”"I know you are useless but we will still find a way to make you useful. Don't worry, I won't kill you right now. I just want

In a car I was riding with Angela, Periyah and the two men next to me. Periyah was driving while Angela was sitting in front. I couldn't lose my evil look at the two of them in front, Periyah were smirking at me.Does Liam know what kind of person his friend is? Suddenly, the reason why he didn't introduce Periyah to us before came to my mind because her behavior was not good but it was impossible if my brother knew about it. I also can't handle it if he does wrong too. He better not doing illegal things. I can't help but think about such things and suspect the people around me."Why are you quite, Janiyah?" Angela said with a smirk on her face, she turned to me. I just looked at her seriously and didn't answer. "Don't think that you can escape from us now, we will take you in your place, can't you see it? You should appreciate our kindness," she added."I don't need your kindness if you have something in return from me. We can just talk another thing—”"And we already talked about t

He didn't answer right away, he just looked at me in shock and seemed to wonder what I meant. I smiled at him and took a bite of food. "I'm just kidding, Javier. I just thought that in order to acquaint myself with your life, I had to get to know the whole of you," I explained, which became my excuse.He drank some water before answering me. "I'm sorry, I was just shocked by what you said because I didn't expect that you would request it."Even I, I didn't expect to be able to return to you right away just because Angela wanted. I want to tell him that Angela is alive and Angela's evil plan but I can't do that because my family will also be harmed.I was about to say something when he spoke. "Well I guess you're right, I'll take you there and introduce you to them as my wife." My eyes widened in shock because of what he said.Is he serious? Will he agree to my request? But why? "Really? But why?" I can't stop asking.He shrugged, he put more rice on my plate even though I didn't want

I couldn't speak immediately, we just stood there and looked at each other. I don't know if I heard wrong from him or maybe it was just because of the noise of the water."What did you say?" I stammered, still looking straight at him.I stepped back when he came closer to me so our skin touched each other again which was the reason for my cheeks to heat up. I feel like I've been electrocuted again even though it's cold because of the water from the shower."I know you heard me, Janiyah, but I'll say it again. I like you," he whispered to me. "I like you, Janiyah..."He slowly pressed his face to mine, he also pressed his nose to mine. My chest is beating fast again as if something is chasing me. His hand landed on my butt which shocked me even more, he caressed my back which was the reason I felt a sensation in my body."Javier..." I moaned as he kissed my ears.I almost lost my strength from what he was doing. "Do you like me too?" he whispered to me with his romantic voice.Do I lik

I woke up with a sore body, I couldn't move properly so I slowly adjusted myself in bed and turned to my side. I found out that he is not beside me anymore, I was about to react but when I saw the paper next to me, I frowned.Is this a letter?I took the paper and opened it. Indeed, this is a letter from him. I read it using my eyes.Dear my love, Janiyah... I'm sorry if I left early. There is an emergency at the company and they need me. But don't worry, I'll be home right away to pick you up. For now, prepare yourself and wear the dress I bought for you because I will pick you up to go to Angela's family...See you, my wife. I love you.Mahal,Your HusbandI looked around to find the dress he said, and immediately saw it hanging outside the walk-in closet. I left the bed to go to the clothes. It's a red asymmetrical dress. Wow, this is so elegant. I don't know if this dress suits me but I like it. I saw not only this dress but I also saw a box that I am pretty sure it's a pair of s

"Janiyah?" Javier asked in surprise when he returned to Janiyah's ward room and saw that Janiyah was not in her bed. He immediately rushed to look inside the comfort room but there was no sign of Janiyah there. He felt nervous, he also didn't notice that someone came out of Janiyah's room earlier. “Damn it!” he shouted angrily. He took his phone and called Angela because Angela was the only one he could count on right now because Liam still hadn't woken up. "Where are you? Is Janiyah in your condo?” Javier asked Angela. "What?" Angela frowned when she asked. "What are you talking about? Why would he come here if he's in the hospital—” "She's missing!" Javier shouted, causing Angela to interrupt what she was saying. "What?" Angela's eyes widened when she heard what Javier said. "I'm on my way there. Maybe Liam was in the garden or went to his room," Angela said. Javier hung up, he didn't answer what Angela said. He immediately went to Liam's room even though it was still on the fi

And the couple saw the little girl. But while they were talking to the girl who was crying, Laura noticed that there was blood on the side of the girl's stomach. "We will take him to the hospital. I don't know how he endured the pain of the bullet in his body..." said Samuel panting. They succeeded in taking the girl to the hospital. They watched over and cared for the girl until she woke up. "What's your name?" Laura asked the girl calmly. The girl just looked at the two of them, not understanding what was happening. He also couldn't answer Laura's question of what his name was because he couldn't remember until the girl no longer remembered her name

"Oh God, please wake up.. Please please..." Angela was crying as she held Janiyah's hand. The ambulance that Angela called also arrived immediately. She couldn't even call Javier because his hand was shaking. She is holding her phone in one hand while her other hand is holding Janiyah's unconscious and bloody hand. The medical team assisted them. "How is she? Does he still have a pulse?” Angela nervously asked the nurse. "We haven't found her pulse yet but don't worry we are close to the hospital," answered the nurse. Angela cried even more at what the nurse said. Angela turned to her phone in shock when it suddenly rang. Javier called. Angela answered the call slowly, she was still nervous because her hands were still shaking. "Angela... why did you call? I didn't answer the call because I was in a meeting earlier. Is there a problem? Have you met Janiyah? She said she will go to your condo unit," Javier said one after the other. Angela was silent, holding back her own tears. Sh

Jessa laughed loudly as if she was happy with Angela's reaction because of what she said. "You didn't expect that to happen?" Jessa asked, still laughing. Angela's face couldn't be painted because she felt angry with Jessa. She wanted to hurt Jessa but her weak body seemed to stop her. She just couldn't stop her tears. "I'm going to kill you for what you did..." Angela stammered and slowly approached Jessa, Jessa backed away, still not afraid of what Angela might do to her. "I can't forgive you for betraying me and killing Lawrence," Angela added. Jessa smirked, "I'm not asking for your forgiveness, Angela. I just came here to tell you that you made me do it. You made me kill your brothis.” Jessa simply said that it seems like she doesn't have everything. Angela felt even more angry. Her right hand Jessa betrayed her, she didn't expect that and even more she didn't expect Jessa to kill Lawrence. "You know I didn't tell you to kill her, Jessa. I didn't say that to you. Why did you

After Periyah and Javier went to Hillary's grave, Javier took Periyah to them and immediately returned to the hospital. Right after he arrived at Liam's ward room, Liam's parents were there and Lucy was already standing, she was no longer in her wheelchair. "Javier..."

Lara looked at Jessa badly, she didn't like what Jessa said even though she knew what Jessa said was true but she couldn't accept it coming from someone she didn't trust. "Stop it, Jessa. Isn't Angela no longer in your organization? But why are you still here and trying to do wrong? You're still taking Aaron with you." Lara said long. Jessa laughed even more weakly. "I don't care if Angela is no longer in our organization, Lara. Do you see him being buried? Not yet, right? And don't tell me, you don't like my plan? I know you want him gone too so you can be alone with Aaron. I'm right, aren't I?” Jessa said at length. Lara felt even more angry with Jessa. He wants to lose Jessa but he can't because Jessa is the one Aaron always looks for when Aaron needs something. Since Jessa came into Aaron's life, a lot has changed in Aaron. Not only in how people hurt Aaron, but also in what they do. "When Aaron wakes up, get ready for me. I will kill you myself, Jessa…” Lara said seriously. J

Janiyah stopped searching and calling Javier's name when someone suddenly grabbed her arm from behind her. She immediately turned around and her eyes almost widened when she saw the person in front of her. She didn't realize that her tears were falling as she looked at the man she loved. "Javier..." she softly mentioned Javier's name. Javier didn't think twice, he hugged Janiyah tightly. "Wife...you're here," he said. He wanted to cry too but he stopped himself. Liam, Periyah, Angela, Lenard and Lenard's parents who also accompanied Javier to the bus station just watched. Janiyah stopped hugging Javier and looked at Javier. "Oh God...where have you been? What happened to you?" Janiyah asked crying, she was having a hard time looking at Javier's face that still had bruises and wounds even though Alvin had treated them. "It's a long story. Why are you here?” he asked. Janiyah turned for a moment to her companions Liam, Angela and Periyah and looked at Javier again. "We came here to

They finished eating dinner and Janiyah still couldn't talk to the three of them properly so she was more and more confused until she entered the room with Angela."What's happening?" she asked.Angela frowned as she turned to Janiyah. "What's happening?" he also asked back to Janiyah."Between you, Liam and Periyah. Why didn't you talk earlier at dinner? Do you three have a problem?” Janiyah asked one after the other.Angela looked seriously at Janiyah and then looked away. "No problem, Janiyah." Angela answered simply, her tone and face were also serious when she said that."If there's no problem why aren't you talking?" Janiyah asked again so Angela turned back to her."I don't need to talk to them all the time. I don't know why you are including that in our problem. Our concern here is your husband, Javier is the one we should think about where we can find him," Angela said at length.Janiyah sighed. "How can we focus on the search if you three have a problem with each other. Even

As Janiyah said they would stop at a hotel first, they did. Angela and Janiyah shared a room, Liam in a hotel room and Periyah alone in a hotel room. She doesn't want Angela and Janiyah to be with her in the same room.The surroundings were cold because of the rain, strong wind and the fog that surrounded the whole area. The four of them didn't bring any clothes because they thought they could find Javier in just one day, fortunately the hotel where they stayed was for sale. This is a mountain side hotel but the facilities are complete except for the signal because the signal is weak throughout the area."You want to come with me?" Angela asked Janiyah.Janiyah turned to Angela for a moment and shook her head. "I'm not in the mood to go out, maybe I'll just rest and maybe when I wake up, Javier will be next to me," Janiyah said softly.Angela sighed because of what Janiyah said and then said goodbye to leave their hotel room first. When he got out, he saw Periyah walking like he was g
