We ended up at Hillary's shop and I still can't get over what she said earlier that she wasn't Javier's choice to be his wife. Me too, I don't know why because I'm just a stranger in Javier's life."Thank you, Hillary." I smiled at her. She hugged me."I hope you like all the clothes I chose for you," she whispered.Yes, all the clothes she chose for me are so beautiful. No wonder why he is Javier's stylist. Even Javier's simple clothes suit him.“We're going first, Hillary. Thank you very much again.""Thank you too, Janiyah. We're friends already, right?" she asked. I smiled widely and then nodded.There's nothing wrong with her being my friend, she's also kind. "We are friends now," I told her.After we finished at Hillary's shop, we went to the restaurant. It's not on the list but it's noon so we need to eat three first. "Why here?" I asked Girly because It’s a luxury restaurant. It can only be done at a cheap restaurant."Don't worry, Miss Janiyah. I have Master Javier's card wit
We arrived at what he said was his friend's shop. I thought that my day would be quiet with him because he doesn't talk much, but I was wrong, because his friends are always talking to him and me. They have a lot of questions and I still haven't chosen what to wear."Great, you're beautiful. You look like her—”"Luella, stop it." Javier stopped his female friend who had been approaching me for a while. "Come here, Janiyah. Choose the gown you want." Javier pulled me to his side and handed me the album with the options on it.While I was looking at the beautiful gowns, I couldn't escape the whispers that were close to me. I looked at Javier, he was far away from me because he was talking to someone."Yeah, she looks just like her. Maybe the only difference is that Janiyah is simple and modest.”"I know right, is it her twin?""I don't think so—oh shit, Javier is coming."They stopped talking when Javier came next to me again with a girl."This is Lhian, she's a wedding organizer. If yo
The week of Javier and I's wedding came, I was surprised by the influx of people at his mansion. A few are his family and friends. It's like I'm in another world where I'm lost because they're the ones I see. I can say that this is not my life, this is not me."Hey, have you seen Javier?" Someone went to me, a man who is just as tall as Javier, he's wearing a polo shirt and I also see his tattoo that is similar to Javier's tattoo on his arm.I saw five men here with tattoos on their arms."Hey, I'm talking to you. Have you seen your boss?” he asked again.Boss? Did he think I was a maid here? Well, I can't blame him either because Javier hasn't introduced me as his wife yet so maybe they thought I am a maid."Oh, I'm sorry. I have never seen him," I answered. And yes, what I said is true. I haven't seen Javier again since the number of visitors to his mansion increased.He told me the other day that there will be a party at his mansion and some guests will be here, I didn't expect man
So, this is the day I am waiting for. And Javier and I are getting married tomorrow. I know, this is so fast. But I cannot control it. Javier is the one driving the car, he did not bring guards and driver and I was also sitting in the front seat. This is the first time that he will be driving and it will be just the two of us together. I feel like this is the first time I've ever felt even more uncomfortable."You're so quiet," he began after a few minutes of silence between the two of us. I don't have anything to say so I don't even know what topic to open."You too, Javier. You've been quiet for a while, I don't want to speak first because I don't have anything to say either," I answered.I heard him sigh, there was traffic on the road so the car stopped. I can feel that he looked at me so I also turned to him which I wish I hadn't done. Why is that? He just looked at me as if I was being electrocuted."Are you sure you're okay with us going to my family's house now?" he asked whic
Until we got home I didn't know what to do. I didn't talk to Javier anymore because I was thinking about how to fix this mess. Javier and I are getting married tomorrow and his Grandfather wants to see my family? No, it's not possible. I didn't tell them, I didn't even know how they were, I changed the network I used so they couldn't contact me. I know what I did to my family was not good but I don't want them to feel the kind of life I have entered."Hey, you should sleep early. We'll be early tomorrow…”I didn't pay attention to Javier, I just lay on the bed without looking at him. Until several hours passed, I still couldn't sleep. Got up to look at Javier, he was sleeping on the couch. God, I don't know anymore! My work hasn't really started yet but I'm already struggling. Maybe I'll just tell Javier's family tomorrow about my family not coming to the wedding? Yeah, maybe I should do that to save my ass. The next day, I woke up feeling like I didn't want to get up and leave the
At the reception, I was in a room with my family and Javier. I can't look at my family or even at Javier. I just want to think that this is a nightmare. "I'll leave you guys first...Janiyah." I nodded at Javier.When he left the room, I looked at my family. I couldn't stop the tears that I was holding back earlier. Earlier Javier and I went straight to the reception and to a private room where we are now with my family. I thought Javier and I would be the only ones talking but I was wrong because the door opened and my family entered."What's happening?" Liam spoke first.I bent down, I still couldn't look at them. "Janiyah, you've been gone for two weeks and we'll know that you're going to marry Javier, who you introduced to us as your boss?" my mother said, her voice showed that she was having difficulty speaking. Her voice broke.“Mom, Dad, Liam… I'm sorry if I hid about—”"Why did you hide it, Janiyah?" Liam asked me, cutting me off. "Are you ashamed that Javier's family knows tha
My eyes widened and I turned to Javier, he looked at his family with anger on his face. I have heard whispers and different reactions from people. Most of them are curious."Auction Club? What do you mean, Grandpa?” Hannah asked.I bowed and closed my eyes, people shouldn’t know what I was doing before. "Yes, I found out that Janiyah, Javier's wife, loves auctions. Make a bid. In fact, that's what I liked about Janiyah because her family is like that too. The donations they give to various organizations are large… explained Javier's grandfather that made me more curious about what's happening. I frowned at what he said, I didn't even pay attention to the people's responses, their applause as if they were excited about what I did just because of what Javier's Grandfather said. Even Javier's family was surprised at what he said."Dad, what are you doing?" asked Javier's father. Javier's Grandfather did not answer him, instead he poured wine into the wine glass he was holding and he rai
I couldn't move from what he did, my eyes widened and I felt my knees go weak. As I understand what really happened, I had the courage to push him away from me and slapped him.He didn't kiss me on the lips during our wedding, he just kissed me on the cheek so I was shocked by what he did now. I can also feel the speed of my heart beating. Like me, his eyes widened, but I don't know if it was because I pushed him or because of what he did. He looked away, ruffling his hair as if struggling."I'm sorry..." He stammered. He looked at me. "Janiyah, I didn't mean to. I'm sorry… take some rest.” I just watched him turn his back on me and leave the room.I still can't move from where I'm standing. I can't even compose myself again to fix my mind. I slowly touched my lips, until now I can still feel his soft lips on mine.Damn it! This is not possible. I came here for work, I can't have feelings for him because I know it will stop and I don't know how long I pretend to be his wife."I'm not
"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
FLASHBACKS*** "Samuel, what are we going to do with the child? She was hit by a gun..." Laura said crying as Samuel carried the girl they saw earlier. At first the girl was crying and looking for her parents, there was a disturbance in the park where her family was and in an unexpected event, the girl got separated from her parents. 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..." Janiyah mentioned when she saw Javier who had just entered the ward room. "Hey..." Javier smiled at her and approached her. He also greeted Liam's parents. Laura cries and blames herself for what happened to Liam. Just before they got to the hospital, Laura was crying because she found out that something had happened to Liam. Janiyah herself called them to inform them about Liam and when they were at the hospital, Janiyah also told them what Liam was really doing when Liam was abroad. Liam's family is shocked and Laura blames herself because she feels she neglected Liam. "Mom, Liam chose the life he wanted..." Janiyah said to Laura. Laura shook her head. “He didn't like it. If only we were rich he wouldn't be able t
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
