“We’re going to live here?” asked Lunatte’s mother.Russell nodded his head. They had arrived at the residence of the stately home they were going to live in.Lunatte’s mother looked at Lunatte. She nudged Lunatte with an elbow. “You finally got a rich man. Just like what I always wished for,” she whispered.“Mother.” Lunatte could only shake her head.Russell just kept a straight face. Not responding to anything. But he thought what Lunatte’s mother said was very funny. It’s not a problem at all. In fact, he felt very proud because that meant he had succeeded in making his mother-in-law proud.Russell stared at his workers.“Bring all of these,” he ordered them.“Yes, sir!” Without waiting long, they brought all of Lunatte’s luggage and his little family inside.They are already in the house. The quintuplets are full of energy to run around in the mansion.“Adeline, Baylor, Cerys, Delilah, Emery! Don’t keep running. You will get hurt if you fall!” Lunatte was strict with her children
Step. Step. Step.Footsteps of heels could be heard echoing in the magnificent room.Creak.The large and luxurious door was wide open, the sound increasingly increasing the eerie impression. The mother looks at her daughter who is silently contemplating. Her eyes were blank looking somewhere. Aniya. The woman looks different. There is no more graceful face. Her face looked very pale.“My daughter,” the mother calls her. There was absolutely no response from Aniya. This made the mother even more worried.The mother rolled her eyes. Rooms that are usually always neatly arranged now look very messy. There are lots of broken glass. The mother looked annoyed because she saw that there were also a lot of newspapers scattered about.“Who keeps giving you these newspapers? I'll fire them right away. I told everyone not to give you this bullshit anymore! This will only make your situation worse," said the mother annoyed.“ARRRRRGHHHHHH!!!” The mother was very surprised to hear the screams. An
When Russell was just about to talk, suddenly another family came. They all looked very angry, it was clear from the look on their faces. There was no other choice, Russell had to face it, after all he had to face a risk like this."How could you make such a fatal mistake, Russell?! Do you know what could have happened to our company because of this news?!" The yell came from Russell’s uncle, the middle-aged man looked very angry.Caroline just kept silent, she knew that her son deserved to be scolded. She was also confused about how to stop this news, especially since Russell did marry Lunatte secretly."Is having children a fault uncle?" asked Russell with suppressed emotions."Of course, it’s a fault! Big mistake, the news about your daughters brought disaster to our family!""Stop!" interrupted Caroline firmly. The middle-aged woman was lazy to hear the debate and wanted to hear Russell's explanation. "Let him explain first. Especially about the quintuplets."Russell who heard abo
Russell was silent, the man couldn't argue anymore. He was also actually very lazy to argue, in the end Russell left the mansion."Russell! Don't go, you have to finish all of this!" shouted Caroline loudly. The middle-aged woman was completely dizzy with her son's behavior.Right now, Russell just wanted to calm his mind for a bit, he also had to think about what kind of decision he should make without hurting Lunatte and his childrenn.The man got into his car, then drove full speed out of his family’s residence. During the road, Russell kept swearing while banging the steering wheel to channel his anger. He didn't want this to happen, but somehow this sort of thing would be exposed anyway."Shit! Why now?!" growled Russell as he hit the wheel one more time.Russell's car speed was really high, fortunately today's road conditions were a little lax, otherwise it's possible that something bad could have happened to Russell.Finally, Russell arrived at his house, the man immediately en
Lunatte left her father-in-law's residence, she had decided to divorcing Russell. Because according to her that's the best thing for now, no one will get hurt.While in the car heading home, Lunatte kept pensive. The woman stared out of the mirror, imagining that she had parted ways with Russell. She had never imagined that this would happen in her household life, Lunatte also thought about how to explain this to her children later.When she got home, Lunatte immediately went into the room because she knew that Russell would still be there. However, he did not find Russell there. Another place that Russell usually goes is the garden behind the house, Lunatte immediately rushes there, she doesn't want to be slow in saying her decision.And sure enough, Russell was in the back garden, the man sat near the fish pond pensively. "You're here apparently," Lunatte said as she stepped closer to her husband.Russell just looked away, not responding anything. The man was still not ready to say
The day after Russell's confession, the company's condition worsened. Even all the company's shares completely lost shares, even the cooperating investors also resigned. They were disappointed with what Russell had done, according to them an impact like this would be remembered by the public for a very long time, that's why they chose to terminate the cooperation contract.It was also what caused all the Houston families to be angry with Russell, they had all tried desperately to retain the shareholders but to no avail. Now the company is really on the verge of collapse.Russell himself also became confused, moreover the business he managed himself also went down. However, whenever he complains, his children are always there to cheer his up. This is what makes Russell optimistic that he can bring the family business and company back to glory, maybe this time will be the second challenge for him to make a big company back.Today, Russell had to come to the office to discuss internal co
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
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
