Evening had fallen, Adrian was neatly dressed in a formal suit and waiting for his family to arrive. Once again he also checked the readiness of everything, who knew there was something missing from tonight's banquet."Mr. Houston has arrived," one of the guards reported.Adrian, who was sitting on the sofa, immediately got up and walked out to welcome his parents. The boy was happy because his parents were the first to come tonight, this was a matter of pride for Adrian because this was also the first time his parents had come to his place."Welcome, Mother," greeted Adrian as Mrs. Caroline got out of the car first."You live in a very magnificent place. You bought it with your own sweat," said Caroline while stroking her son's arm gently."Yes, this may be one of my luck. I don't know what good I did in the past, until God gave me a good life now."Mr. Houston, who had just gotten out of the car, also had a response that was not much different from his wife. He also didn't expect th
Russell was really frustrated with the state of the company, the man had tried his best but to no avail. Even the shareholders revoked all their shares, and most recently Aniya's family company also revoked their shares. Russell didn't know what else to do.Even though Russell had tried to build everyone's trust again, but no one believed him anymore. Even though he planned to launch innovative new products to attract shareholders and investors, his efforts failed. Instead, it led to dwindling business capital, plus employees who worked lazily because of this problem."What else can I do?!" growled Russell as he threw some papers on his desk.Russell had tried to focus again, but the news about Adrian wanting to replace him made Russell even more panic. He does not want his position to be replaced by his younger brother, because so far he has been the one who has struggled to advance the company. Russell wasn't willing to give up the throne to Adrian just like that, but if the situati
Lunatte manages to bring Russell home. Nothing much to talk about. There was only a hug that night between them. Lunatte just wanted Russell to calm down. Russell actually felt so broken today. It crossed his head to just give up. He felt there was nothing more that he needed to do for all his career which was on the edge. He was no longer excited to just stare at the work laptop. All the drinks he downed were not able to make him feel relieved at all. The floating feeling only comes in the blink of an eye, then goes away in a few seconds.It was as if he had not had the opportunity to experience pleasure in a very long time. Russell staggered and accidentally saw the door to his daughters's room which was still tightly closed. Don't know what kind of impulse he had, his feet seemed to bring him into the room without his will at all, but he also didn't feel forced.Russell's hand reached out to open the door and found it was not locked at all. He slowly opened the door and made sure t
Maybe the narrative is too exaggerated, but for Russell himself one world seems to isolate him today. News about the new president director who is now replacing Russell's position was broadcast by many media. His good name is getting ruined because of the news. Lots of gossip circulating on social media. And not a few blasphemy given to him."Adrian Houston who managed to get the position of president director surprised everyone...""The removal of Mr. Russell Houston from his position as president has shocked business people...""The hottest news this morning came from Adrian Houston who managed to get the position of president director in his company..."The voices of the hosts from each television channel seemed to be voices coming from hell to Russell. The paparazzi had been interfering too much in his entire life. He felt uneasy now especially in a state of chaos like this.Maybe even now he can't get out of the house while the situation hasn't calmed down too much. He's tired of
Russell was very happy because he was finally able to escape the paparazzi and be able to enjoy his time with his family on the beach. He never thought that his children would do this for him. He would feel guilty if indeed all this time he had made his children also sad when he saw the situation. But for now the most important thing was that they had to spend as much time as possible. Russell also had to forget everything that happened."Thank you, my princess, for the idea. Daddy never thought you would bring Daddy here."The quintuplets immediately smiled. "For the sake of Daddy's sanity so that Daddy isn't taken to a mental hospital," Adaline said in a joking tone.They also spread mats and also a lot of food there. The sea breeze is so cool, even much cooler and also comfortable than the air conditioner in their house. Russell even forgot the last time he had a vacation at the beach and enjoyed this kind of atmosphere. It seems like he hasn't gotten it in a very long time because
After being satisfied relaxing on the beach, they finally went home. Managed not to get caught by the paparazzi. However, when they reached the verandah of the house, Russell and his wife and children were quite surprised to see Caroline and Aniya there. They seemed to be waiting for Russell because indeed the house was locked."Mother," said Russell. There was a tone of dislike, especially when he saw his mother come with Aniya.'This woman. He has returned to here apparently. What else is she planning now?'As for the quintuplets, they immediately put on their ferocious faces when they saw Aniya's figure. They still remembered how evil this woman was back then."You witch Woman!" said Cerys.Aniya looked at them with a sharp gaze. But didn't say anything even though she was very annoyed to be called like that.It was quite crowded outside due to their arrival. The reporters were very curious about what they were talking about."Have you been here long?" asked Russell as he walked cl
It's disgusting. At least that was all Russell could think of at the moment. Aniya is like the prostitutes who sell bodies at nightclubs. But the difference is that prostitutes do it to get money, while Aniya only wants to get love. At least the prostitute is more respectable and more realistic here than Aniya herself."I'm warning you. Stop doing stupid things like this." From the tone of his voice, it was clear that Russell was very calm.Aniya doesn't care and continues to tease Russell. The two hands that embraced Russell began to move actively, she wanted to touch Russell's sensitive points. A thin grin had formed."Don't you think that now you are very lucky? Maybe there are many other men who are waiting for or trying to get this from me. Why are you even rejecting it? Just enjoy it, Russell. I promise I will give you those pelasure. More than what she can give to you."Before Aniya touched that sensitive point on his body, without being able to hold back her hand movement anym
But when Russell came to the office and entered Adrian's room, Lunatte wasn't there at all. Even in the whole building he could not find his wife. Russell rushed from there to his parents' mansion. He thought that maybe Adrian would take Lunate there. Because his family really wanted to get rid of Lunatte.But the response he gave was the same. The is no LUnatte there. "Enough with all this nonsense! I'm not going to let anything new happen to my wife. I believe you are the one! You are the perpetrators of this incident. And I assure you it won't take me long to unravel all of this."Russell couldn't even contain his anger anymore. He hit hard on the table."Why do you blame us when your own wife disappeared from home?! Isn't this proof that your wife doesn't sincerely love you?! She already knows that some of your possessions have been taken, and of course she doesn't want to live in poverty, that's why she left you and more choose another man out there."Russell held back. If it wa
Russell was speechless throughout process before the funeral. All parties were, of course, shocked after knowing what happened. During that time, Russel could only lock himself in his room when Adrian's body was still in the hospital and had not been returned home to be buried after that. Russel also doesn't care about Aniya or the others anymore. He only cares about Adrian. During that process, Alex didn't dare to talk to Russel. Just know that it's not the right time. Alex also quite understands that the best way to deal with this situation is to let Russel alone first. "How are we going to cover it from the media?" Lunatte suddenly came into the room with some food for Russell. She sat right beside Russell. Feel sorry to see the man's face that looks like not maintained. Russel looks very messy because of Adrian's death. He may be depressed. "I'll get some of my men to take care of that matter to the media. I'll make sure, they don't need to know about this. We'll figure out more
Adrian took two guns. His movements were so fast that no one could hold him back. Some of the men who had been watching him earlier were too careless to notice Adrian's fast movements. They were even very surprised when gunshots filled the room. BANG! BANG! BANG! "Come on, fight me if you can!" Adrian challenged everyone there while continuing to pull the triggers of the two guns many times. Even under these circumstances, he was still able to focus on shooting whoever needed to be shot. Even though it was Aniya who paid for many of the men there, Adrian was still able to target them one by one without injuring Russel, Alex, Lunatte, and also the children. The sudden and extremely fast attack, of course, made Aniya feel very surprised. She wasn't holding a gun like Adrian. She only held the knife from Mia earlier. Aniya tried to avoid the bullets from Adrian's gun. She looked for her other gun. "Adrian!" Russel shouted at Adrian who seemed to have lost control when he fired the tw
Russel and Alex and their four comrades are quite strong indeed. It took them a very long time to punch and kick their enemies. Russel and Alex nearly beat everyone Aniya paid to fight them. Their bodies were also battered. Russel didn't even care anymore about the pain from the wounds on his face and all over his body. "Shit!" Russell swore when one of the guys hit him on the back of the neck. His neck felt very heavy. Even his head felt very dizzy. "Russel, hold on!" Alex helps Russel by hitting one of the people who hit Russel earlier. They managed to incapacitate several people. Alex approached Russel who was currently holding his nape. Russell couldn't even stand up. "Hey, are you okay?" Four of Alex and Russel's comrades were still beating up some of the guys. Adrian himself tries to escape and even intends to help Russell. He didn't care about their past, as long as it was for Lunatte's safety, Adrian would do anything. But unfortunately, Adrian was completely unable to li
"Damn, you guys!" Because there was a commotion and the guards were also aware of Adrian's presence, in the end, there was a fight between Adrian and several guards who had been paid by Aniya. Even though his body was still very weak, Adrian was still trying to beat them. Even though it looked so impossible, Adrian didn't give up so easily every time he thought of Lunatte. "Come here! Fight me!" Adrian picked up a log and swung it at the few people. He could no longer rely on the strength of his own arms. He would collapse any minute if he didn't rest a bit. Some of the people also smiled lightly at Adrian. They seemed to know that Adrian had no strength anymore. That's why they took advantage of this opportunity to push harder and corner Adrian. Adrian felt pain all over his body because several of the men punched and kicked him. He couldn't escape at all. His steps and hand swings were also unsteady. "Shit!" Adrian could only curse when he felt blood trickling down the corner o
"Lunatte left with her children." That night Alex called one of the men he had ordered to monitor Lunatte. Someone who has been spying on or has been keeping Lunatte and her children at home since yesterday. Alex, who heard the news that Lunatte was out in the middle of the night with her five children, was of course, surprised. He immediately felt that something was wrong here. In fact, he firmly believed that something bad would happen to the woman and her children. "Where are they going at this time of night? Did you see anyone else there?" he asked. For a moment he didn't hear anything on the other side except for the sound of a vehicle. He was sure his man was driving to follow Lunatte. "I don't know, actually it's been a while and I lost track of her car." Alex was even more surprised to hear that. Without even responding, he immediately hangs up and tells Russell about this. Needless to say, of course, Russell was much more surprised to hear that. He tried not to think ab
After a long journey, the car carrying Lunatte's and the others had almost arrived at the place where Adrian might actually be. Lunatte's view could not be separated from her surroundings which were filled with forests and shrubs. ‘Russell where did he go? Why did he pass on a street that is rarely traveled by local residents like this?’ Lunatte grumbled inside for fear that something would happen to Russell that she could not see his face. They were afraid to go there because on the right and left there was nothing but dense forest. What's more, Lunatte didn't know where her husband was going. Why do they have to go through a narrow and very suspicious road? "Mommy, shouldn't we just go home? So far, we haven't found Daddy or his car either." Baylor advises Lunatte not to waste time looking for Adrian. Lunatte thought quickly, thinking about what decision she should make right away. What Baylor said is true. They didn't know what would happen if they continued on their aimless jou
Until now, Aniya has not received news of Russell's departure from the mansion. It makes her feel calm. Aniya also doesn't want to waste her time. She must kill the quintuplets immediately. Even though it was already night, Aniya was not daunted. For her... whether night or day, it is not an important thing. Most importantly, she could fulfill her wish to kill the quintuplets. And Adrian already knows that Aniya in this country. Adrian already thought that Aniya would do this. But he didn't think that Aniya would do it this very fast. Just yesterday he said that he failed and did not want to kill the quintuplets, now Aniya has arrived where he is. Aniya had deliberately invited Adrian to meet in a quiet place. Adrian complied, although there was a little fear in him. As a man, Adrian must still face everything. What's more, Adrian promised he would protect Lunatte and the quintuplets from now on. A promise that Adrian made without any element of coercion and Adrian made it conscious.
Russell manages to get out of Aniya's mansion. He would contact his friend to help him return to his home country. With quick steps, Russell walked away from the mansion area. At the same time, Russell saw a taxi passing by. Russell quickly stopped him and asked the taxi driver to take him to his destination. Now, the sun has begun to appear on the eastern horizon. Russell was sure, there must have been a lot of shops open. After all, it's a big city and it has twenty-four-hour life. Likewise with the shopping center. Of course, Russell didn't have to worry about the remaining time. Because maybe, soon Aniya's mansion will be crowded with news about his escape from there and surely Aniya will give orders to all the bodyguards to search all the places that Russell might visit. Russell deliberately asked the taxi driver to go to a shopping area that was quite far from Aniya's mansion so he could buy himself a little more time. When Russell arrived at the shopping center, he immediatel
After locking the walk-in closet door, Russell lay down on the bed. Sweat dripped all over his body, wetting all his clothes. Tired, of course, struck. Russell closed his eyes for a while until finally Russell now saw the alarm clock on the table. It's still half past nine in the evening and the time to dawn is still far away. Russell won't run away now because Aniya's mansion is very well guarded. The man deliberately waited until dawn. The time when the guards were starting to let their guard down because they were tired or sleepy. Not infrequently, some fall asleep where they stand guard. "I better rest for a bit. I still have to use my strength to escape from here. I can't be weak in the slightest." Russell now prefers to sleep first. He also set an alarm so he can wake up in the right time. His plan cannot fail!While Russell was sleeping on the bed, the two bodyguards and the two maids who were locked up in the walk-in closet earlier tried to escape. But their efforts failed. Ru
