The learning activities in her new campus take all of Naara’s focus. She follows every class diligently. Her heart is pleased to be able to learn at the prestigious university. As the day is approaching noon, Naara steps outside the class to find Xion.
Today, Xion and her have different classes. The girl lightly steps along the corridor looking for the classroom where Xion or Hanie are, the two being the only ones Naara knows in the new campus aside from the few students sharing classes with her. Naara’s lovely eyes once again find herself face to face with the dangerous man Hanie warns her about. The man is wearing a black suit that makes him look handsome and mysterious. She shakes her head, getting rid of the thoughts praising the perverted lecher. Naara dreads falling for the man or having anything to do with him. Adelrado stands not far away from Naara’s class on purpose, paying close attention when the beautiful girl walks towards where he’s leaning against the wall.
Actually, today he has a tight schedule for meetings at his company, but he takes some time just to come by and give a look at his new plaything. Adelrado smiles crookedly watching Naara deliberately avoiding him. The fear in her face thrills him.
“Just wait. We’ll see, whether you’ll be able to escape my charm?” Adelrado mumbles.
Naara turns away and accidentally meets Hanie and her friend.
“Hi, Naara,” Hanie greets enthusiastically.
Naara smiles widely seeing Hanie and the girl next to her.
“Hi,” Naara greets back.
“Naara, let me introduce you to my best friend. This is Caroline.” Naara puts her hand forward to shake Caroline’s hand, which the girl returns nicely.
“Hi, I’m Naara Kiva. It’s nice to meet you, Caroline,” says Naara. Caroline replies in kind.
“Where are you going?” asks Hanie to Naara.
“I’m looking for Xion. Have you seen him?” Naara asks back.
“I don’t know where he is. I haven’t seen him today. Do you want me to come with you looking for him? Or do you want to come with us to the library?” Hanie asks again.
“I’ll just come with you,” Naara decides.
The three women start walking to the library while making small talks about their lecturers and the difference in how they teach. While they’re busy talking, Naara catches Xion’s figure in her eyes. The man is closely talking to a few girls. Annoyance and jealousy once again rise uncontrollably in her heart. She burns with jealousy as she sees one of the girls talking to Xion hugging his arm tightly, unheeded by the man.
“What an irritating man!” Naara mutters, heard by Hanie and Caroline.
Hanie nudges Naara’s arm as she teases. “You’re jealous seeing Xion with those girls?”
Naara turns at her and widens her eyes, then quickly shakes her head strongly, not knowing what to do.
“I’m not jealous,” she denies.
Coincidentally Xion is turning this way, and he quickly says goodbye to the girls he was talking to. Xion walks towards Naara. The girl chooses to look away. Her heart is filled with annoyance, but there is nothing she can do about it.
“Naara!” Xion calls, but the girl walks away without heeding the calls of her best friend.
Xion’s voice then disappears, drowned in the clamorous voices of the girls surrounding him. The girls beg for him to come with them and watch the inter-faculty basketball match in the indoor gym. Naara sighs, so lost in her mind that she walks past Hanie and Caroline. The scholarship grantee is holding herself back from exploding in the anger that stews since she saw Xion so close to other girls. Hanie and Caroline can only shake their heads seeing what’s happening in front of them.
“Woah! They really match each other,” Caroline mumbles, making Hanie turns to look at her best friend.
“Who are you talking about, Car?” asks Hanie curiously.
“Naara and-- ouch, shit!” Caroline curses as she loses her balance, accidentally struck by the horde of girls screaming Adelrado’s name.
“They’re always acting like barbarians once they stand in a radius from Adelrado. Such uncivilized violent women!” Hanie growls as she glares at the group of women following that lecherous guy, Adelrado.
“Forget about them, let’s chase after Naara,” Caroline suggests as she tries to appease the angry Hanie.
“You haven’t answered my question, Carol.” Hanie reminds her.
“It’s not clear and certain yet. I’m afraid to say it now. I just saw something that you surely won’t like, so forget about it,” replies Caroline, causing Hanie to sigh.
Caroline has an accurate sixth sense, 90% of what she says will usually happen.

In the end, Naara arrives first at the library. The girl steps in and without further ado, she quickly moves to find her books.
The campus library is very spacious and grand. The book collection is very comprehensive. It’s just that the wide space doesn’t match the number of its visitors. There are only a few tens of students there, as most students prefer to browse for data through the internet and sit at the campus garden compared to reading a thick heavy book. Naara combs through a few bookshelves. Hand and eyes coordinating in concentration to find the book she’s looking for. A lovely smile blooms on the girl’s face as she finds what she’s looking for.
Naara pulls a book from the shelf. But the book does not remain in her hands as it falls into the ground, along with a few other books. Her trembling hands cover her mouth as she quickly turns around with her back against the bookshelf. Still trembling, Naara sits down and picks up the books she dropped as she tries to leave as quickly as she can. She scrambles to put the books back disorderly as she grumbles.
“Shit! Why are they doing it in this place? And why do I even have to see it again? That jerk! My eyes are ruined, again and again. Asshole!” Naara grumbles.
For the second time, Naara catches Adelrado doing inappropriate things. The man is having a fierce kiss with a woman dressed skimpily. The redhead kisses Adelrado with such fierceness, like a hungry lioness, while Adelrado is merely standing calmly, following the rhythm set by the woman as he squeezes her big ass which Naara is quite sure is fake Naara's heart beats wildly and her lips feel numb having that wild scene play out before her eyes. The kiss isn’t the only reason for Naara's speeding heartbeats, the biggest factor being Adelrado's sharp look, as before she manages to escape, their eyes find each other for a moment. At the same place, the hot kiss turning bland all of a sudden, Adelrado quickly finishes up with the woman whose name he does not even care to know. The handsome man pushes away the woman he just shared a kiss with until she falls on the floor. It won’t be Adelrado if he cares about some woman.
Relaxed, he walks away as he wipes his mouth with a handkerchief. The man's eyes never once leave the silhouette of his target. The pretty woman who once again finds him wet. Wet on his lips and wet down there. It’s adorable to see her reddening face holding back her anger and embarrassment.
☆☆☆
Adelrado’s eyes roam every corner of the library, searching for the woman named Naara Kiva. He is sure the woman has not yet left the library. He’s proven to be right, as he found his target sitting on a table with her head down.
“It’s good I didn’t rush to hurry back to my office,” Adelrado murmurs as he leans against a bookshelf.
“When the time is right, I will soon have you trapped within my kingdom, Naara Kiva.” adds the devil in an angel’s skin. Adelrado’s gaze meets Hanie, Caroline, and Xion who have just entered the library. The man crosses his arms in front of his chest with a blank expression. Both Hanie and Caroline duck away from Adelrado’s gaze. Xion does not recognize Adelrado, so he ignores the man’s stare and approaches Naara who still has her head down on the table.
“What are you doing?” asks Xion, tapping her shoulder.
The woman raises her head quickly, both surprised and pleased to find Xion’s presence.
“What are you doing?” repeats Xion. Naara shakes her head.
“I’m not doing anything. Why are you here? And— hey, Hanie, Carol, why are you just standing there?” asks Naara confused.
Hanie and Caroline simultaneously shake their heads blankly.
Adelrado approaches Naara and Xion while the two are talking. Just as Xion is about to greet Adelrado, the man stops right behind Naara. Xion glares fiercely at him, while Hanie and Caroline cover their mouths with their hands to hold back a gasp.
Adelrado taps Naara’s back, making the woman turn back suddenly. Within seconds, Adelrado leans down to plant his lips on hers. Naara’s eyes widen as she cannot dodge. The man smiles against her lips. Two strong hands pull his shoulders away from Naara. A punch from Xion lands on the man’s stomach. Adelrado clicks his tongue as he smirks despite the hit on his stomach, while Naara clenches her fists as she tries to hold back tears.
“Asshole! How dare you kiss her!” Xion yells angrily.
Adelrado rolls his eyes as he tucks his hands in the pockets of his pants.
“You don’t have any right to forbid me. Who are you?” he hisses.
Xion wants to land another punch on Adelrado’s face, but it is blocked by the handsome man in a black shirt.
“Don’t tempt me to destroy you,” Adelrado whispers to Xion. He winks at Naara who is still frozen like a statue and walks away.
Adelrado lets out a whistle as he casually leaves the campus.
“Sweet! I like her,” Adelrado murmurs as he smiles and caresses his lips with his thumb.
Xion roughly turns Naara by her shoulders and stares firmly at her. The girl says nothing, speechless, as tears run down her face uncontrollably. Hanie and Caroline slowly approach them. This is a rare occurrence even for those who are used to Adelrado's behavior on campus."That jerk! I'm going to get back at him!" Xion growls as he clenches his fists. Caroline blocks him before he pursues Adelrado."Don't throw yourself into the fire if you don't want to be burnt," Caroline warns him. Xion glares at her."So, you want me to just do nothing after what that bastard did to Naara? HUH?!" Xion snaps atCaroline. Hanie walks over to Xion, who is glaring at Caroline angrily. Hanie prevents Caroline from replying to Xion's angry words by pulling her arm and giving a code with a shake of her head."We're not forbidding you. It's just that we're afraid of the risks you'll have to take later," Hanie says softly as she rubs Xion's back. The man jerks Hanie's
Xion decides to go to Hanie's apartment, intending to get as much detailed information as possibleabout Aderaldo. It seems that Hanie is really scared to talk about Adelrado on campus. Therefore, Xion decides to speak to her now. Hanie is surprised but still lets Xion into her apartment. The woman can already guess the purpose of the man's arrival tonight."So? What do you want to know?" asks Hanie without further ado.Xion brushes his hair and stares expectantly at Hanie."I wanna know who the bastard we saw this afternoon was. You have to tell me everything," Xion says without hesitation. Hanie sighs. Like it or not, she has to tell Xion as it is. "Aderaldo Cetta Early is the largest shareholder on campus. He is also a benefactor to all the foundations under our campus. Aderaldo is the owner of several large companies in this country. One of the most influential men, because of his endless wealth,""He owns nearly everything. However, one thing,
There is only silence and a cold aura emanating inside the luxury car belonging to the man Naara sees as a bastard. The woman scans every inch of the contents in the car. On the one hand, she is very happy to be able to feel the sensation of riding a luxurious, ridiculously pricey car. Maybe it will take Naara decades to work before she can afford the price of the car she is riding. On the other hand, she is sick of being toyed with by an authoritarian man like Aderaldo."You are the most annoying bastard I have ever met in my entire life," Naara hisses, and Aderaldo glances at her with a lopsided smile."Thanks for the compliment. I'm flattered," Aderaldo replies casually.Naara sucks on her tongue. "You're not stupid, are you? You can definitely tell the difference between a compliment and a curse," says Naara boldly."I think the word bastard is a compliment. That word is so fitting for me, who is a bastard," Aderaldo replies in a very calm tone.
"Have you seen Naara?" Xion asks the people who are supposed to be in the same class as the girl.They all shake their heads, and some respond to Xion's question nonchalantly. The man is very familiar with Naara's lecture schedule, so he went to Naara's apartment to go to campus together this morning, but the girl wasn't there."Okay, thank you." Xion walks down the corridor looking for Naara's whereabouts. His slanted eyes catch the figure of Hanie walking towards one of the classes."Hanie!" Xion shouts, and the woman stops walking, then looks back."Xion, what's wrong?" asks Hanie as the man walks closer to her."Have you seen Naara?" Xion asks again without further ado. Hanie shakes her head."I did not see her.""Where can she be? I stopped by to pick her up, but her apartment was empty," Xion worries. Hanie crosses her arms over her chest."Have you tried calling her cell phone?" asks Hanie, and Xion slaps his forehead qu
Naara Kiva's true nature suddenly awakens when she's been with Aderaldo for almost two hours.Again and again, the Greek good-looking man kisses her lips without permission. Whispering the underwear size, she is wearing precisely. It is obvious how perverted the man was. It is as if he has been trained and is very used to examining or even holding a 'Melon' hm... a pretty subtle analogy for Naara's breasts, but still, the girl doesn't like it. Naara does not intend to return Aderaldo's kiss even though Naara has to admit that the kiss succeeds in evoking something she has never wanted before.The woman raises her palm as high as possible behind Aderaldo's head and immediately grabs the man's hair."AW!" Aderaldo shouts, releasing his kiss from Naara's lips. Naara looks at Aderaldo with a fierce look. The young and handsome billionaire looks at her in disbelief while fixing his sleek hair."That's just some hair I pulled. If you dare to be rude again, I wi
Naara's eyes fill with tears. The girl cries silently on her bed. Xion's words are still ringing in her ears. Words that Naara never thought would be spoken to her, as good friends who have known each other well for the past few years. The girl can't stop thinking about why Xion acted like that. Completely not like the Xion she knew. All the cynical words she heard strike right on the pit of her heart. Naara's head now feels on the verge of exploding, thinking about Xion's change in attitude and the cell phone being crushed to the point where it can't be used anymore.☆☆☆"That phone—" Naara whispers. Naara immediately glances in the direction where Xion is standing. She is about to open her mouth, but Xion interrupts with words that make her furious."The result of you selling yourself to that bastard? Is my guess correct?" Xion's accusation successfully makes Naara Kiva shed tears."How much did that bastard pay you? Ju
After Naara leaves, Xion feels very angry. He clenches his palms. Someone taps him on his back, and he immediately turns his head, only to receive a sudden blow on his stomach with no warning.A punch by Hanie lands right on the man's stomach. Annoyance and anger spur her to hit him. "What the hell are you doing?" Xion snaps."Why do you always act rashly and stupidly? Where is your scholarship-winning brain?" Hanie does not hesitate to rebuke Xion."You always use your emotions instead of your brain. I saw everything, Xion. Everything you did to Naara, your best friend." Hanie stares at Xion and jabs the man's chest with her index finger."Don't interfere. I won't let Naara become a whore," Xion hisses.Another hard slap strikes Xion on his cheek, only from a different person. It's a bonus from Hanie's palm, which is also quite wide and strong."If you're really Naara's best friend, you wouldn't say such stupid words and accusations with no
Before Naara agrees to all of Aderaldo's threats, she needs to confirm one thing with him first."Give me a reasonable reason for your sudden order? I won't follow your words if you don't give mean explanation," asks Naara, who is in the man's arms. Aderaldo kisses Naara's thick lips which have become his current addiction. His thick eyebrows are raised to the side as he looks closely at Naara making the woman's cheeks turn red, but her expression still looks annoyed."I don't like dirty places like your trashy apartment. Everything makes me sick and veryuncomfortable. How can you survive in such a cramped place? So disgusting!" declares Aderaldo, making Naara just exhale tiredly. Naara is tired of arguing or getting angry at Aderaldo's careless treatment of her. The girl will find a way so that Aderaldo can quickly get bored, let her go, and no longer toy with her. Sooner or later Aderaldo will throw her away and replace her with another woman. Naara is sure of it.
Naara's face looks so pale as she walks out of her class. Several female bodyguards approach Naara and ask because they are worried about their master's unusual appearance."Frau, are you okay? Your face looks so pale," asks one of Naara's bodyguards.*MrsNaara nods and asks the man to lead him to the car. Naara is still continuing her studies even though she is married to Aderaldo."Can you take me to the nearest hospital?" says Naara as she gets into the car and the driver nods, following Naara's orders without arguing.The woman feels so weak and her head is dizzy. The lower part of her stomach has been feeling cramped lately. She wants to check whether she's pregnant. She remembers some articles she has read about signs of pregnancy. Naara doesn't want to be happy until she hears the doctor's diagnosis in person. She doesn't want to make guesses which will end up in disappointment if reality doesn't match her expect
"Work hard until you succeed. I want to be able to see my great-grandson before I die. The result of my grandson's lovemaking." Rachel gives Naara a message before she and Aderaldo go on their honeymoon.Naara's face turns red. Rachel doesn't look like she is joking at all, even her words seem so serious, even though the old woman gives Naara a sweet smile."Do your best. Use all the styles you read yesterday," Rachel teases which again makes Naara blush.☆☆☆Two weeks before their wedding, Rachel gives Naara a gift when her grandmother returns to the Mansion occupied by Naara and Aderaldo. Rachel warns her not to let Aderaldo find out about the gift she gave.For that, Naara keeps it well hidden among her piles of books.Naara even locks herself in her room all day to find out what gift Rachel has given her. She opens the parcel and is surprised when she reads the title of the book in front of her eyes. Her mouth
A luxurious hotel ballroom in the center of Berlin is transformed like a fairy tale. Pastel colors become Naara's choice on her wedding day. The woman even has to be forced by Rachel and Aderaldo to plan the wedding of her dreams. Initially, Naara only asked Aderaldo for a simple and ordinary marriage. A small party in half the courtyard of Aderaldo's mansion is luxurious enough for the girl, but her request is flatly refused. Rachel asks Naara to think of a fancy concept by handing the girl a dream wedding magazine."You have to spend as much of Early’s money as possible. After all, this is a once-in-a-lifetime wedding for you," Rachel tells Naara. The girl looks at each sheet of pictures in the magazine with an extraordinary admiration in her mind. She swallows hard when her eyes catch the amount of money that must be poured to make the decorations like in each of the pictures.'I can survive the next ten years with that much money without working,' Naara think
The drama of the wedding dress has not yet been finished. Both Naara and Aderaldo maintain their respective desires. Naara doesn't want a wedding dress that costs tens of Euros, while Aderaldo wants a dress that is super anti-mainstream in accordance with his wishes which does not allow the dress to be open. He doesn't want to show Naara's body parts to other people. His possessive attitude has been getting worse since Aderaldo proposed to Naara to be his wife. They have visited various boutiques and the results are still nil. Disputes over price and materials complicate their search. Neither of them wants to give up on each other.In the end, Rachel takes over the wedding gown business. Because it has been almost a month, and there has been no good progress. The old woman decides on one of the famous Asian designers with unique wedding dresses. She promises that Aderaldo and Naara will definitely like the result. Neither of them can argue with Rachel's words and Rachel is pr
"Why are you so quiet? Are you sick?" asks Harris, looking worried for Hanie. The woman shakes her head and keeps her gaze straight as if deep in thought."Does Aderaldo really like Naara no longer?" asks Hanie suddenly and Harris shrugs nonchalantly."It's too hard to guess. My boss is too mysterious. He always shows a poker face after Naara leaves- Ah-- no, after he and Naara separated on campus," Harris answers bluntly. Hanie snorts in annoyance hearing it. She stares intently at her lover who has only been with her for the past month. Their instantaneous relationship started because Harris often asks for a lot of information about Naara from Hanie."What if we help them find out their feelings for each other. I'm sure, if Aderaldo still likes Naara, that man will forgive Naara's mistakes and they can be together again," says Hanie, voicing what’s in her heart.Harris is silent and digests the words of his beautiful lo
It feels like receiving an extremely tough blow, having to let go of something you are fighting for. Rachel's request to fulfill Naara's desire to be freed makes Aderaldo's entire brain seem to stop entirely. On one hand, the man is not at all willing to follow Rachel's words, but on the other hand, he doesn't want to argue with Rachel's request.Acting as if he hates her to death and having to humiliate Naara in front of everyone goes against Aderaldo's instinct. However, only through this way, she will hate him again and Rachel’s and Naara's wishes will be fulfilled.The two women are the people Aderaldo loves. He is not a man who is good at expressing his true heart to other people.Even if it's towards a person he loves, his treatment is always accompanied by a rigid, cruel, and dictatorial attitude. He just hopes that the person will be sensitive to what he is doing, including the little things he does. However, it seems that Naara is not a sensitive
It is a thrilling night. There is a fight at a famous nightclub in downtown Berlin. Torn lips, bruised eyes, and a broken nose become the results of a man's emotional outlet. The dance floor, which used to be full of people swaying and dancing to the music, has now turned into silence, no one dares to make a sound at all.A gun is pointed at the head of the man who is already lying limp helplessly. Blood flows from the edge of his lips which were torn by a hard punch. His nose is also slightly bent. How unfortunate is the fate of the man who is now lying weak as the spectacle of hundreds of pairs of eyes? All the events that night are due to one person, one object, and one woman. Naara Kiva.☆☆☆The glass filled with whiskey swings left and right following the hand movement of the holder of the clear glass. The view is straight ahead leading to the dance floor. From the second floor of the VVIP room with clear glass, he can freely gaz
Naara and Hanie's conversation continues until both of them sit in Hanie's car. Hanie turns to Naara who seems silent looking straight at the road ahead. Hanie decides to break the silence between the two of them.”You're going to college tomorrow right?" Hanie asks and Naara nods."Yes. I will join the last meeting class. After that, I will return to Bonn," says Naara quietly. Hanie hits the brakes suddenly but luckily the road is quite empty. Naara is shocked by Hanie's behavior, she can’t help but curse.“Hanie, we could have gotten into an accident. Don't stop suddenly on the road like this even though it's empty,” Naara scolds but Hanie ignores her. The car they are driving pulls over. Hanie completely turns to Naara as if asking for a more detailed explanation.“You’re going to stop chasing Aderaldo?" asks Hanie looking closely into Naara's eyes. The girl who receives that stare instead turns her gaz
"You think I'll be helpless when I'm separated from you? Damn! I'll prove that I'm not the same as your other toys. I won't go back to beg and lower my pride for you," Naara mutters as she continues to wash the pile of dishes in front of her. A few minutes after she met and had a fight with the man she waslooking for recently, Naara returned to work. She is still responsible for his work. The girl will not run away like in some movies or drama series when a breakup happens. She remains rational and realistic. Several co-workers who pass by Naara look at the girl with questioning eyes, they are quite confused as to why Naara is muttering words of annoyance in English, but no one wants to ask directly. One of the things they all avoid there is to meddle in other people's business.Her chest tightens, her anger soars, her emotions feel stifled. She has to try to keep herself under control to make it look like everything is fine. Naara is quite good at manag
