"Bella, stop all this!" said Danial, shielding Bella's body from attacks from the people around them.
"It's too late. I can't stop now." Bella looked at Danial with a sharp gaze. "I'm sorry, Danial. I love you."
Bles
Danial was frozen in place as Arabella thrust the dagger right into his left chest.
Danial's eyes were red with pain and shock. His gaze remained fixed on the woman's clear eyes in front of him. Who was already crying?
Why?
That's what kept ringing in Danial's mind. Until his body began to sway.
"Danial!" Marcel shouted.
"Asshole! Kill that woman!" This time, it was Devan who gave the order.
"Go!" Danial said with all his might that he would endure the pain. Until the end, Danial was still protecting that woman.
Arabella couldn't stay there. She stepped back and ran away from Danial, who was now on her knees. Tears streamed down her cheeks.
Byur!
Danial saw Arabella jump off the cliff into the ocean.
"Danial!"
All of her friends swarmed around Danial's unconscious body, which had collapsed to the ground.
Huft...
Danial woke up with his body full of sweat. He looked around to see where he was in his room. He exhaled roughly while angrily rubbing his face. Five years had passed, and the dream continued to haunt him. For five years, Danial never slept well; pain, anger, anxiety, and deep longing always haunted him. He can fall asleep with the help of sleeping pills; at least he won't become a zombie like five years ago, when for one month he didn't sleep at all.
Danial looked at the digital clock on his nightstand; it was already seven in the morning. He immediately got up from his bed and went to the bathroom to clean himself up.
Danial took off all his clothes and looked at his reflection in the mirror. The stab wound was still clearly imprinted on his left chest. The tragic event nearly claimed his life. Danial closed his eyes and let his burly body be splashed with cold shower water that pierced his skin.

In a room, a beautiful woman was seen wearing a formal suit with long pants covering her slender legs. She was seen asking questions of a woman sitting on the witness stand. The room was a courtroom, and many people were guests: the judge and his minions, the public prosecutor, the suspect, and the witnesses.
"I'm done asking questions, Your Honor," the beautiful woman said as she returned to her seat next to the suspect.
"You may return, Ms. Amelia," the judge said to the witness. The woman got up from her seat and walked away.
"We will confer to make a decision," the judge said.
----
"After we have deliberated,. Looking at all the evidence and witnesses, we find that Mr. Peter is innocent in this case. Therefore, the court decides that Mr. Peter should be acquitted of all charges."
The gavel sound was heard, indicating that the decision had been made. Peter's family, who had come to watch, cheered with joy. Now they all stood up from their seats as the judge and his guards left the courtroom. They all rose from their seats.
"Thank you very much, Ms. Kimberly. Thanks to you, I was cleared of these charges," Peter exclaimed.
"You're welcome, Mr. Peter. It is my duty to help the innocent," Kimberly replied.
***
Kimberly's name is being discussed again because she is the youngest lawyer who has won many cases at the age of 27.
"You're getting famous, Kim," exclaimed her best friend, Sherryl, who is also the managing director of the law firm where Kimberly works.
Kimberly just shrugs her shoulders as she takes a sip of her beer.
"I've won a lot of cases, but somehow I still feel empty, huh?" Kimberly muttered.
"So, find a lover. Don't keep working!" Sherryl exclaimed.
"What do you mean you're giving me a vacation voucher and a sabbatical?" Kimberly asked.
"Where are you going on vacation?" Sherryl asked.
"I don't know." Kimberly fell silent again and took a sip of her drink. They chatted for a while in a nightclub. Sherryl looked at her phone screen.
"Kim, I have to leave now because I have something to do. You're okay here alone, right?" Sherryl asked.
"Yeah, you go. I'll go home by myself later; I can also ask Evan to pick me up," Kimberly replied.
"Alright. Then I'll go now." Sherryl left, leaving Kimberly there alone.
An hour later, Kimberly started to feel dizzy from the alcohol. She got up from her seat and went to get her bag.
Kimberly reached into her bag, pulled out her car keys, and pressed them until the alarm went off.
"Ah, it sounded from here. Is my car really here? That feeling is still there," she muttered, walking a little unsteadily towards the car, where a man had just opened the door. With a quick movement, Kimberly grabbed the man by the collar and pushed him against the car.
"How dare you steal someone's car?" Kimberly accused.
"What do you mean, Missy? It's my car," the man named Danial replied.
"Oh, really?" Kimberly brought her face closer to the man in front of her, pressing their bodies together. Kimberly observed, "You know, thieves nowadays are so handsome, even their clothes are expensive. It's really deceiving," Kimberly said.
"You're drunk, ma'am. Please let me go," pleaded Danial, still with his flat expression.
"Um, your body smells so good," said Kimberly while sniffing the neck of the man in front of her.
"Tsk, that hurts!" Danial muttered and immediately reversed their position. The man opened the passenger car door, causing Kimberly's body to fall onto her back. Danial then confined Kimberly's body to his own.
"Is this a new way to flirt with men, hm?" "Is this a new way to flirt with men, hm?" Danial inquired, focusing on the woman's recognizable face, particularly her eyes, which evoked memories of women from her past.
Suddenly, Kimberly pressed Danial's nape and kissed her lips. I don't know where the impulse came from, but Danial herself had no intention of letting go and instead deepened their kiss.
***
Danial was in a meeting with his personal secretary, Dimitri, and his friends.
"By the way, I've found the right lawyer to replace Mr. Teddy," said Dimitri.
"I also have a recommendation," exclaims Marcello.
"Who?" asked Danial.
"Here you go." Dimitri handed over a photo of a beautiful woman with long, wavy hair.
"Her name is Kimberly Elmer Zian. She is a new lawyer who has managed to unseat the previous best lawyer, and she has emerged as one of the top performers this year. So far, she has always won her cases and beaten senior lawyers," explains Marcello.
"Could there be such a thing?" asked Devan.
"Just look at his bio and the news about him. His name is well known in England," said Marcello.
"I think he could be your personal lawyer, Dan. Dimitri said, "He will help you with your case."
Danial was silent; he was still looking at the face in the portrait. Her face was beautiful, but her eyes were the center of Danial's attention at that moment. Her eyes were very familiar; could it be that they had met before?
"She's beautiful, Dan. But don't stare at her for too long; the photo will burn," Marcell joked.
"Arrange a meeting with her first," Danial said.
"Ready."
***
As planned, Dimitri had arranged everything. And today, Danial will meet a beautiful lawyer. They made an appointment at a fancy western restaurant. Kimberly arrived first, and she was shown into a private room by the waiter.
"Would you like to order something first?" the waiter asked.
"Green tea; I'd like a low-sugar green tea," Kimberly said.
"Okay. Just a moment," said the waiter as he left the room.
Kimberly looked around the spacious and luxurious room. Bored, she got up from her seat and walked to the window. She looked out the window, which showed a busy street with vehicles passing by.
Click
The door to the room opened, indicating that someone had entered. Kimberly stayed where she was because she thought she was the maid.
"Mrs. Kimberly, I am Dimitri, Mr. Danial's personal secretary. Mr. Danial is already in the room." The voice made Kimberly realize that it wasn't a waiter. She turned around and saw two men standing not far from her.
"You?" Kimberly spontaneously closed her mouth in shock at the sight of the man in front of her.
Kimberly locked eyes with the sharp, ash-colored gaze. They stared at each other for a long time, neither of them wanting to look away.
The crystal-clear black eyes in front of Danial mesmerized him. He recognized the familiar gaze, which accelerated his heartbeat.
"Excuse me." A knock on the door brought them both out of their trance. They both turned their heads toward the waiter who had entered the room.
"Green tea with low sugar, Miss."
"Thank you," Kimberly replied, trying to stabilize her racing heart. She had to pretend she didn't know Danial. While drunk, she kissed a stranger. Unlike Danial, who was intent on the drink Kimberly desired, someone in Kimberly's past favored a unique drink.
"Introducing: My name is Kimberly Elmer Zian of Walt Law Firm."
"I'm Dimitri, and this is Mr. Danial Christiano Wiratama, head of the Gonemanus family," Dimitri said, making Kimberly look back at Danial, who had been silent.
***
Danial poured a light brown drink into a small glass containing several ice cubes. Then the man walked towards the wide window that showed the beauty and bustle of Great Britain at night. His memory returned to a woman named Kimberly. Yesterday was their first meeting, but somehow he felt that he had met her long before yesterday. The man took a sip of his drink, and his gaze returned to staring ahead, as far as the eye could see. For a moment, someone's face appeared there, smiling and laughing at him."Mr. Cold, do you seriously like me?" the woman asked."Maybe..."The woman showed a sullen expression toward Danial when she heard his answer."Tsk, you're an annoying guy."--- "I'm sorry, Dan. Our paths diverged because of fate. After this, feel free to hate me as much as you want." The woman thrust the dagger into Danial's body.Danial closed her eyes as the sharp dagger pierced her body. I still vividly remember the woman's gaze, hurt, broken, and full of regret, after she stabb
Kimberly had just arrived at her house. She opened the door and entered the house. Alice, a middle-aged woman, worked at Kimberly's house. The family had employed her for a long time, since Kim's late mother was still alive."Alice, are you awake?" asked Kimberly."Mr. Bill Zion is in the backyard," Alice replied."Okay."Kimberly walked into their backyard. She opened the connecting door and saw the old man sitting in a wheelchair looking at the flower garden Kim's mother had planted.The girl took a step closer to Bill. "Hi Daddy," Kim greeted as she hugged Bill's neck from behind."Hi Sweety, Are you home yet?" Bill asked."Yes, just now. How's Daddy?" Kimberly asked."I'm better," he replied."Don't get too tired and get plenty of rest," Kimberly said, making Bill nod his head."How's the new job going? It's amazing that you've been able to get into the very famous GM company in the UK," said Bill."Maybe it was meant to be," Kimberly chuckled."Then go take a shower; your scent i
"Oh, God. I'm finally done," Kimberly complained as she stretched her stiff neck. Kimberly took a sip of mineral water from her glass. Then she looked at the watch on her wrist. "Oh my! It's already 10 p.m.""This is all the refrigerator director's doing," Kimberly grumbled. Kimberly peered around her dark room, which was the only one with lights."How did I not realize that everything was so dark?" Kimberly muttered.She hurriedly put her things into her bag and rushed out of the room after turning off the lights."Hello!" she shouted as the atmosphere became very tense. Kimberly took out her cell phone and turned on the flash. She walked around, looked right and left, and then looked back. There was literally no one else there besides her.The woman quickened her pace towards the elevator. She pressed the elevator button and waited for the elevator on the ground floor to reach the 40th floor."What a long time," she muttered. She couldn't possibly use the fire escape to get down. Th
They arrived at the luxurious five-star hotel where the event was taking place. A driver opened the passenger door for Danial and Kimberly."Please."Kimberly got out of the car first, followed by Danial. The driver closed the door once more and got into his car to park it."Your hand," said Danial."Umm, what?" asked Kim, who didn't understand. Kimberly noticed Danial's code and directed a sharp gaze towards his arm. Kimberly hesitantly held Danial's arm.They entered the lobby and proceeded towards the event hall room.They entered the hall, and almost all eyes were on the two of them."That's the head of the Gonemanus family.""That's the son of Regan Danial Wiratama.""Really very handsome, as rumored.""He's even more handsome in person than he is on television.""Really, like a Greek god."Everyone was whispering clearly, and that made Kimberly feel uncomfortable."By the way, who is the woman next to him?""I don't know. Which bitch managed to seduce Mr. Danial?""But as far as
Kimberly had just entered her room and remembered Danial's earlier teasing."What an annoying Polar Man!" She grumbled and rushed into the bathroom to clean herself up.After a long soak in the jaccuzi, Kimberly felt more refreshed, so she decided to go to bed. She was about to fall asleep when a message appeared on her cell phone.Sherryl[You have a day off tomorrow? [Should we go shopping?]Kimberly started typing something on her phone.[I want to practice riding. [You accompany me to ride.]Sherryl[You know, I never get along with horses.] [Do you want your beautiful friend to fall back and get kicked by a horse?]Kimberly chuckled reading Sherryl's message.[How about tomorrow?] Now I want to sleep well. [I'm so tired.]Kimberly turned off her cell phone and charged it. She lay on the bed in a supine position, her eyes staring at the room's ceiling. The image of Danial's face never left her mind, plus her heart always beat very fast whenever she was close to that man. Kimberly i
By now, Kimberly, Sheryl, and Ertan were already at the racetrack. Kimberly has put on the safety gear to ride the horse. She was pulling a big brown horse with black, bushy horsehair. The horse's name was Shetland, and it came from Arabia. Arabian horses are one of the oldest horse breeds. As the name implies, this horse comes from the Arabian Peninsula. Its height is 145–155 cm, with a weight of 360–450 kg. The color varies from black to white to brown to gray.This horse is called a 'warmblood' because it is bred for speed. Thanks to their endurance and stamina, they are suitable for racing. Arabian horses have lived with humans for centuries, making them sensitive and intelligent animals that communicate with their riders."Shetland, I miss you already," Kimberly said, rubbing the horse's face and hugging it."Kim, we're ready," Sherryl said, making Kimberly turn to the source of the voice. Sure enough, Sherryl and Ertan were already on their res
That night, Kimberly had just left the office area. She was again busy with a lot of work. A lawyer in such a large company should at least have an assistant or secretary. However, I'm unsure of her boss's perspective on this matter. Kimberly was not given any assistants or secretaries."What's a company this size going to lose by adding one more employee to its law firm division?" grumbled Kimberly, rubbing the back of her neck, which was aching."That polar man is really torturing me," she grumbled.TingThe elevator doors opened wide, and Kimberly took her steps out of the square room. She walked towards the building's lobby because Richard had told her earlier that he was waiting for her in front of it.She walked out of the lobby, and sure enough, there was an SUV parked nearby. Kimberly walked up to the car and got in. Simultaneously, Kimberly was seated in a luxury sports car that had just passed her. The luxury sports car driver glanced at
Danial had just finished taking a shower. He put a small towel into the laundry basket. The man walked towards the table, where there was a whiskey bottle with a glass filled with ice. The man poured the whiskey into the glass, after which he walked towards the sofa that was near the small fireplace. The man sat down on the sofa and pondered for a moment, recalling Kimberly from earlier; that woman always piqued Danial's curiosity.The man took a sip of his drink, and an incoming message prompted Dan to pick up his cell phone and open it.ElloAccording to reports, Miss Arabella is still alive and resides in Britain.DegDan's body stiffened as he read the message. Five years had passed, and only now did he get news of that woman.And(Find him and bring him to me immediately.)Dan gulped down his drink after replying to Ello's message. By leaning his head against the back of the sofa, he closed his eyes."And... vier..."When he heard a call from a soft voice that looked like Arabell
Peter and Aldric stood with their hands hanging upwards. They tried to struggle several times. Demanding to be released."Damn you, Dan! You think you can catch me like this!" raged Peter furiously.Dan came out of one of the rooms wearing black pants and a t-shirt. He walked up to Peter and Aldric, who were more quiet."You want revenge now, eh? You think you can kill me here?" Peter baited.And gave the code to his men to untie Peter from there. His men obeyed and untied his hands.Peter stretched and wordlessly ran at Danial. Danial ducked Peter's punch and landed a fist on the man's jaw that tore his lip and drew blood.Peter spat out blood from his mouth. "Shit!""Didn't you want one-on-one? Then come on, let's finish our long-delayed fight. Don't keep playing hide-and-seek," Danial said, stretching his palms wrapped in black gloves.Peter stood up from his position and ran back and bumped into Danial until the man was pushed far enough behind him.Fighting and scuffles ensued. P
"Hey, you! Come here, don't stand there!" One of the men called out to Daniel.After recording all the sides and activities. Daniel also walked towards the man who called him earlier. That man was Autin, who was the leader of his group."Why are you just sitting there? We're in a hurry!" raged Autin."I'm sorry," Daniel replied."They say your body is as strong as Samson's. Quickly lift the two bags of dynamite," Autin ordered. "Okay."Daniel picked up the two large bags with ease.***The night was getting late. Peter and his men gathered at the Valcon mansion. His men began to spread out and place dynamite on each side outside the gate. Some people jumped through the gate and threw dope at every point where the guards were making their rounds.Everyone was doing their job. Peter and Aldric entered from the back door. As the rest of his men spread out, placing dynamite on each side of the room, then spreading the anesthetic gas into each room as well, the mansion's resident
Peter gathered everyone in a room. All 100 members, after he had been looking for more people."We will launch our action tonight. Steal some of the treasure from the Valcon residence. You prepare and recheck all the weapons and dynamite we have assembled. As originally planned, we will first immobilize the people in the mansion."Boss, when did we start storing this dynamite?" asked one of the members. "Tonight. Adrian, make sure everything is safe. Don't let the Gonemanus family hear about this. I don't want them to thwart our plans!"Yes, boss.""You may disperse and start preparing your weapons."Everyone in the room began to leave the room one by one and headed towards the large courtyard to pack up their gear again.One of the 100 members was a man wearing a red t-shirt that clearly showed off his muscular body. The man walked down the courtyard and looked around, combing and staring at every move they were preparing.No one realized that the man was the robot Daniel t
Danial is currently sitting across from Nick in his room. An employee came and served drinks to both of them. After that, the man left the room."What's wrong?" asked Danial matter-of-factly. Nick looked awkward; he kept his head down for a long time."I would like to ask a favor of you," Nick said. "Help?""Yes, to catch Peter Valcon," Nick exclaimed."Why should I help you? What can I rely on to know that you won't betray my side?" Danial asked."You didn't come up with just a sentence, did you?" Danial asked again.Nick picked up the suitcase that he had been holding for a long time. He opened it and showed it to Danial.Danial frowned when he saw the sparkle emitted from the object in the suitcase. "Plate?""This is a plate belonging to the royal family. With this plate, you can mobilize a special royal army of 10,000 soldiers," Nick says."You think I'm going to go to war with a country?" asked Danial, making Nick pause."You have the plate; why don't you u
After approximately five days of hospitalization. Kimberly and Max were discharged.Danial helped Kimberly into the car. Meanwhile, Angela, who was with Regan, was carrying Max. They rode in a white luxury van."How cute!" Kimberly exclaimed, looking at Max in Angela's arms. The toddler was seen smiling at Kimberly every now and then as she played with him."Very funny, you. Whose child is this?" said Kimberly, and Danial smiled at the sight."And your meeting with Mr. James Georgio is still waiting for you to reschedule with him. Yesterday, it was canceled," said Regan."Yes, Dad. I'll ask Dimitri to reschedule later."The car entered the Gonemanus mansion area. There were already Javeera, Zaydan, Ariana, Rain, Agneta, Davero, Renata, Calvin, and Michael welcoming Kimberly and Baby Max. It turned out that there were also Liam, Evelin (Liam's daughter), Arsen, Liora, Ansel, Amrita, Roy, Seinna, Dimitri, Marcello, and Dilbara. Minus Devan, who wasn't there."Wow, the future head of the
Kimberly woke up from her sleep; she felt her sides were empty. She opened her eyes slowly and looked around. There was no Danial there."Where's Danial?" muttered Kimberly as she got up. Her body was already better; the cesarean section was now very sophisticated, and even within a few hours, she was able to move freely. And now, on the second day, she was able to walk even though slowly.Kimberly walked in holding the IV stand. She walked to open the bathroom door and found that Danial was not there. Then she walked out of the room. The hospital hallway was quite crowded, and the bodyguards were gathered in place.Kimberly walked over to those gathered. "Have you seen Mr. Danial?" Kimberly asked."Mr. Danial went to the baby room," one of them replied."Take me there." "Okay.""Let me get your wheelchair," said the man named Toni. "Okay."The man walked into Kimberly's room and got her a wheelchair."Where are you going, kiddo?" asked Vance, who had just appeared
Danial stood in a room. In front of him was a tiny figure lying lifeless. Tears did not stop rolling down her cheeks. lifeless. Tears did not stop rolling down her cheeks.'I am sorry, Daddy,' Danial said, his heart broken. Baby Markus Nathaniel Wiratama was declared dead due to poisoning. And now his brother, Mateus Maximilliao Wiratama, is in intensive care. Bastian and Renata came directly from Switzerland. Bastian took blood samples from the two tiny babies for research. Danial himself is currently feeling very guilty. Not only did he spread the poison from his body, he also left Kimberly when she was pregnant, causing them to lose one of their proud sons. 'I don't know how Daddy can make amends. Daddy is completely helpless and can only say a thousand words of apology to you, son. I' m sorry that you had to be born to a father like Daddy who caused you to die,' Danial thought. Renata came pushing the wheelchair that Kimberly
Kimberly had just woken up from her sleep; she saw Danial already dressed in his suit."Where are you going?" asked Kimberly, changing her position to a sitting position by holding the blanket that covered her innocent body."I need to go to the office." I have something to take care of," Danial replied."It's safe, right? You won't do anything weird, right?" Kimberly asked."How weird?" asked Danial, frowning."Yeah, don't mess around with fighting Peter and Aldric again! Watch out."Danial smiled at his wife's words. He walked over to Kimberly and sat on the side of the bed."They hid after hurting you. Daddy and Uncle are mobilizing all their men to search for them. Didn't Ertan inform you that Uncle Ansel, the Commissioner, has ordered a police investigation into the Valcon family?"I haven't communicated with Ertan for a long time," Kimberly replied."I see."Kimberly chuckled at Danial's words. "No, Sherryl is pregnant, and she's always jealous when Ertan is close to me. That's
Kimberly woke up from sleep. The first thing she saw was the wide window in front of her. Kimberly thought back to what happened last night. Maybe she was dreaming.Until she realized something was stuck to her back. The woman lowered her head where she was not wearing a single piece of clothing. And a burly hand was hugging her bulging belly from behind.Kimberly smiled brightly. It wasn't a dream. Her Javier was back, and last night the two of them shared a deep longing for each other."Awake yet?" asked Danial, sniffing Kimberly's neck, making her chuckle."Amused!" he chuckled."Morning," he whispered, making Kimberly change her position to her back. Danial pulled down the blanket that covered her female body to reveal the skin of her tight and distended belly.Danial stroked the stomach until he felt movement from inside."They're moving?" asked Danial, looking shocked.Kimberly chuckled at her husband's shocked expression. "They live a healthy life in there, so they move. Plus,
