Morning as usual. Adrian came to the office. What a wonderful welcome he got when he first came back. Greeted with respect and warmth like never before.He was having a meeting over lunch with his business partner. Everything is running smoothly. There were no problems at all until he got a message from someone who had been missing for a few days.Adrian read the message, and his eyes immediately bulged. He squeezed his phone tightly. The secretary gave him a confused look at the change in the boss's face. She leaned closer and whispered, “Sir? Are you all right?” she asked. There was a loving tone to the question. Apparently the secretary still has an interest in hee boss.Adrian only glanced briefly. "Sir, let me talk with my secretary," he said.The client nodded his head, welcoming Adrian."Yes, sir? Is there something important you want to say?” asked the secretary. Her cheeks flushed. Adrian just snorted. Somewhat disgusted too. How could Russell feel at safe working with a sass
“Release him.”The butler who heard that was very surprised to hear the order from his master. A week after the arrival of Aniya and Mia back then, the master finally gave the order."Are you serious master?" asked the butler. Somehow there was so much worry inside him. Especially about Russell wanting to kill him. He was afraid that Russell's words at that time would really come true."Yes. Aniya and his men will come there. Prepare everything. Don't let Russell run away during the process of moving himself to a new place. Do you understand?" asked Adrian to make sure."Yes, master.""Hmm." After that the call ended.The butler was still pensive. The fear grew bigger and bigger inside of him."Shit."***Russell is carrying out his routine activities while in this prison confinement. He just kept training his body to be fitter. Russell didn't want himself to be weak. He still has something to fight for and protect. Russell had a hunch that soon he would be freed from here.And until
Russell had already been put in the car. Russell will be unconscious for the next few hours.Aniya stared at the man with a look that was difficult to decipher. Before actually leaving, she approached Russell. Stared at the man for a long time. Her hand reached out to rub his cheek which looked thinner than before.'Damn Adrian! He made the man I love until this skinny! Stupid! We will see! I will make the woman he loves also suffer to avenge what he did to Russell!' said Aniya in her heart. The woman ult Russell's lips. Several times. Trying to get rid of deep longing for this man. The corners of her lips pulled up. Then she whispered, “Let's make a happy life, Russell. A new life. I will make you fall for me after this.”***Russell winked. Eventually the effects of the anesthetic wore off. His head still felt a little dizzy. The light that entered his cornea was enough to hurt him. Makes the dizziness even more felt. It took Russell a while to adjust.Russell's ears could hear voic
"You want to eat?" asked Aniya to Russell.“You must be hungry,” she continued.Russell didn't answer right away. But he gave the code to Aniya to release his tied body so he could move more freely. At first Aniya didn't understand, but then she did. Immediately there was doubt in Aniya. The woman shook her head."I can't," she said in a low voice."Why?" replied Russell."Now we're on the plane. I can't run away anywhere,” said Russell giving a logical reason.“Plus, I told you I would behave myself. You know I never go back on my word. You don't believe me?" Russell gaslighting her.Aniya shook her head. "No. It's not that I don't believe you. But… I just can't,” Aniya answered.'Damn it!' Russell immediately cursed in his heart. Luckily, his face didn't show any annoyance. He still looks calm.“Alright. I understand," Russell said.“I know you still don't trust me because of what happened in the past. I totally understand," said Russell.Aniya was about to reply to those words, but
Russell was moved onto the bed. Aniya herself did it herself even if it hard. Whatever she would do for Russell.“Hahh…” The woman took a deep breath. Aniya sat beside Russell. Stared at the man for a long time. Her hand reached out to caress Russell's cheek with her thumb gently. Her eyes drifted to Russell's hair.'His hair is too long. I'll call a professional barber to cut his hair like it used to. Russell I will take very good care of you. Like a wife taking care of her husband. I will give you the role of wife. Better than what Lunatte did to you. Time will make you forget that damn woman. And also your children. From now on, you will only be with me,” Aniya said. She really meant what she said.Then Aniya comes out of the room. In front of Russell's room there were two trusted bodyguards. The best of the best working for his family.The two bowed their bodies to the princess. Aniya looked at them with a serious look."You know what your job is. Don't let Russell run away. If he
"Daddy doesn't come to our room anymore," Cerys said. They are now awake. Deliberately staying in the room longer than usual.“Hmm. Daddy would usually come into our room to wake us up and give us a good morning kiss. It was a very sweet habit of him. But lately Daddy hasn't done it," Emery joined in the conversation.Adeline nodded. "Weird," she said.Delilah and Baylor looked at each other. "We have found one oddity. Supposedly, because it has become a habit, Daddy can't just missed to do that routine," said Delilah, who was immediately nodded by the other four twin sisters.Baylor sighed. “Is Daddy not our real Daddy? As his daughter, of course you can feel it right? It's a kind of feeling."The others nodded."Yes. My inner bond doesn't feel like it exists with Daddy," Cerys answered.“Daddy also always asks for updates regarding the martial arts activities that I participate in. Daddy is always excited to know every progress I have. Our development, too, right? No matter how busy
Baylor turned on every recording from the voice recorders they had placed in various rooms. Every night after, they always listen. However, for days, there was absolutely no record that they could use as proof that the man who was now living with them was not their real daddy. "This is a little disappointing. Absolutely no suspicious conversations," Cerys said. "Yes. I think, even in two days time, there will be a truth that will be revealed. But, not at all. Did we just misunderstand?” We're just overreacting? she continued. The others started thinking the same thing. "But I'm sure there must be something wrong. We'll wait another week. If there really is nothing wrong. Then we stop our investigation of daddy. How is it?" asked Baylor while looking at her twin sisters one by one. "Yes. I agree," said Adeline. "What about the others?" the others nodded approvingly at Baylor's suggestion. Finally, they waited for another week. Meanwhile, Adrian had absolutely no idea that there
Lunatte just finished taking a shower. At the sound of the bathroom door opening, Adrian turned his gaze to Lunatte. The man had a hard time swallowing his saliva. Honestly, he hasn't touched Lunatte more than a kiss. Don't know why, there were obstacles when Adrian wanted to do that with Lunatte. Either he is too tired, or Lunatte is menstruating, and other disturbances. But now seems like the right time. “Honey,” called Adrian. Lunatte who was looking in the mirror at her dresser replied. "Hmm?" Adrian didn't say much. He put his phone on the nightstand and got up from his lying position. His feet stepped closer to Lunatte who was confused at first. But when she saw her husband's gaze, she understood. But the tone of feeling that Lunate can't explain. Usually, every time Russell touched her, her body would be weak and she would gladly accept that because her love for that man was so great. But now what Lunatte felt was an uncomfortable feeling. Even her feet reflexively stepped
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
