The room where Don Grego, Natalie, and Norwan are is filled with silence. Norwan and Natalie are both holding hands while they look at Don Grego, who is not happy to see what's in front of him. Natalie can still sense a different aura coming from her father while she's looking at him. This way, she can tell how mad Don Grego is, especially now that Don has released some of his dark aura, showing them how angry he is.“Dad, please listen to me first before making any move against him.” Natalie said, trying to convince her father to listen to her. She believed that everything would go okay if she just talked to him, but at this moment, she could also say that Don Grego was not in the mood to listen as his guards were up.“Don't let me give you A punishment, Natalie, just because you are trying to convince me.” Don Grego warned Natalie, so Natalie stopped for a second while looking at his dad unbelievably. “You cannot make my mind change,” Don Grego said, looking at Norwan. After everyt
Natalie and Norwan are left alone in the room. Natalie is still crying even after minutes have passed since her dad said those words. She knows that even though she begs and kneels in front of her dad, his mind has already been made up. It's a decision, and that's the thing she could never change for. Stuff for her now is difficult, especially now that she heard her father's words earlier. It made her start to overthink what would happen to her in the future and what would happen to Norwan. She doesn't want to see Norwan inside of jail just because her father put him there. She can't believe Norwan will suffer because of her father's decision.“What are we gonna do now, Norwan?” Natalie asks him and looks at him. Norwan just gives her a small smile as even he doesn't know what's gonna happen between the two of them and especially to Natalie; both of them are thinking of what will happen to each other. Norwan can't stand to think that Natalie is getting married to someone.“Maybe we ca
After some hours, Don Grego decides to go directly to the station as he will start to file some cases against Norwan. He meets his Lawyer first and consults about the best cases to file for Norwan. He's with his Lawyer, and they're starting some procedures to file the case against Norwan. He's really serious about putting Norwan in jail. His blood is really boiling Norwan, and he can't stand to see him near his daughter.“The police are starting to process our request.” Don Grego's Lawyer said. He sat down in front of him and sighed as he looked at Don Grego, who was deadly serious.“Don, I am just curious about things.”He said, so Don Grego looked at him and gave him permission to ask his question.“Why are you doing this?” His Lawyer asks, so Don Grego looks away and sighs.“This is for my daughter, " he answered, which made the lawyer frown and sigh. He looked in another direction before he started to ask another set of questions.“Ms. Natalie told the circle that she and Mr. Norwa
Natalie is staring at nowhere while Norwan is buying some tickets for them. They're already at the airport. After they are away from the hospital, Norwan and Natalie go directly to buy some things for them disguised. She even cuts her hair so no one can know and see her. The same goes for Norwan, who cuts off his whole hair. As soon as he gets the ticket, Norwan goes to Natalie's side and kisses her on her cheeks, which causes her to look at him. “I got our ticket,” Norwan said, so Natalie smiled at him and sighed. She was nervous, and even though she wouldn't tell Norwan, he could still feel and smell it from her.“I'm nervous,” Natalie said, so Norwan held her hands, which made her comfortable at some point while she looked out the airport window and watched some people pass by.“Just think about us having our freedom after this,” Norwan said, and Natalie turned to look at him. I know it sounds selfish, but we're doing this for us, right?” Norwan added, and Natalie nodded at him a
The flight took some hours before it finally landed at the airport. Norwan and Natalie got out of the Plane together while they were holding some of their things. The wind blew from their faces, and as soon as Norwan felt that wind, he smiled and looked at Natalie, who was also smiling.“We could finally get the freedom that we're looking for,” Norwan said to Natalie, who embraced him and looked at him in his eyes.“We should forget things and our problems for now; we're here now to start a new life again,” Natalie said, which made Norwan smile. He can't help but smile while looking at Natalie because, finally, they can have freedom together, far from the people who want them to be separated.Norwan and Natalie start walking inside the airport and planning things for them. They're new to this country and need to adjust very much to the place and the people near them. For now, Norwan booked a cab so they could go to the nearest hotel, which they had also booked online. The language of
Weeks after Natalie and Norwan ran away from Don Grego and from their own town, they lived normally and peacefully in another country, just as they had dreamed together. Unlike their first marriage, Norwan and Natalie spent so much time with each other, caring, cherishing, and appreciating all the efforts that each of them made. For Natalie, these were the best months she had ever spent with Norwan. This was her dream, her longing for so many years since she married him. It was all finally happening now.“I will go to town later,” Natalie said, looking at Norwan, who was fixing the front doorknob. She sighed as she put down the cup she was holding.“Why?” she asked, making Norwan look at her and give her a playful smile.“Of course, I need to find work,” Norwan said. This was the first time Natalie had heard those words from him. She knew that he was willing to do anything for both of them. She also knew that Norwan had changed a lot since they arrived in their new home.“You don’t ha
Natalie stares to her fathers eyes with anger, pain and sadness and Don Grego feel all those emotion while he’s also staring back to his own daughter. He suddenly remember Natalie’s mom because of Natalie’s eyes. Don Grego close his eyes and avoid his daughter’s stares after remembering his late wife who died because of a clan war.“Why don’t you just let us go, dad?” Natalie ask which cause the Don to look at her for a minute before he look up to stop himself not to cry.“I’m just protecting you.” Don Grego said so Natalie shook her head as if her father can see her action.“Protecting me from who?” Natalie ask and sigh, “You’re just making me feel so much hate for you.” Natalie added which cause Don Grego to look at his own daughter with anger in his eyes. This is the very first time Natalie tell those words to Don Grego and it makes so much pain for Don Grego after hearing the words coming from Natalie.“You hate me for what?” Don Grego ask with serious tone of voice, Natalie sudde
Norwan arrived at the town and started looking for a job. He began asking some locals if there were any job openings for a man like him, and luckily, he met Casto, a man in his 30s who helped him get work from the same bakery shops he was working for. Norwan considered it lucky and a twist of fate to meet Casto. He was so kind to him, even though they barely knew each other; Casto still helped him without hesitation.“I guess that’s just how we are here,” Casto said with a smile after Norwan thanked him.“In my place, we never share information like this. We have our own business and don't care much about others,” Norwan said, lifting a sack of flour.“Well, luckily you're here, in my place, where we care about each other,” Casto replied while mixing flour and eggs.“How many years have you been here?” Norwan couldn’t stop himself from asking.“Since birth,” Casto answered proudly. “I also met my wife here.” He added with a smile, which made Norwan smile too.“You must be happy to hav
Norwan slammed his car door shut with a bit more force than necessary, his heart pounding in his chest. He didn’t even take a moment to breathe, his feet carrying him quickly to the gate of Natalie’s house. He stood there, his fingers trembling as he pressed the doorbell, the chime echoing in the quiet of the early evening. He waited, his gaze drifting over the stillness of the surroundings. A minute passed. Then another.He pressed the button again, more urgently this time. His eyes darted nervously, scanning the surroundings as if expecting someone to jump out from behind a tree.A voice broke the silence behind him.“You wanna break my doorbell?”Norwan froze, then turned slowly, a sheepish smile forming on his face as he saw Don Grego standing there, arms crossed, watching him with a knowing look in his eyes.“I’m sorry,” Norwan muttered, his smile faltering as he tried to collect himself, swallowing hard. “I just wanted to ask if Natalie is here?”Don Grego let out a sigh, one of
AFTER THREE DAYS.|“Are you really sure about this?” Don Grego’s voice was soft but laced with concern. He paused in the doorway, watching his daughter with a mixture of confusion and worry. Natalie stopped what she was doing, a gentle rustle of papers filling the quiet room. Her gaze briefly met his, and then she offered him a reassuring smile—small, but steady.She nodded once, firmly. Don Grego took a cautious step forward, his brow furrowing. He studied her face, searching for any hint of uncertainty that might reveal a second thought. But there was none. “But why?” he asked, his voice heavy with the weight of fatherly confusion. “I didn’t do anything to make you feel this way… What’s brought this on?”Natalie chuckled softly, the sound almost as if she was trying to lighten the mood, but it didn’t quite reach her eyes. She shook her head, her hands pausing in the task at hand. “It’s not about you, Dad.” Her words were clear, almost too clear, but there was a flicker of something
“Why don’t you kill me now, Natalie? Now that you possess all the power, all the strength to do whatever you please,” Cora asked, her voice steady, eyes locked with Natalie’s. There was no fear in her gaze, no hesitation. It was a challenge. A dare.Natalie stood there, her heart pounding, her breath shallow. Cora’s words hit harder than any weapon, but it was the unwavering defiance in her eyes that made Natalie falter. Cora was no longer the girl she had once known. She was something else now—something far darker, far more dangerous. And yet, she wasn’t afraid. Not of dying. Not of anything.The silence stretched between them, thick and suffocating. Natalie could feel the weight of it. All the anger. All the pain. Everything that had led to this moment.“You ruined my life, Cora,” Natalie said through clenched teeth, her voice low and controlled.Cora's lips curled into a smirk, eyes never leaving Natalie’s. "I know," she answered, voice dripping with bitterness, but there was no re
The wind whistled through the sky as soon as Natalie and Norwan reached the place where Cora was. Cora greeted them with a wide, dark smile, which annoyed Norwan—after all the mess she had made, how could she still smile? Did she have no conscience at all?“What an awful sight for me,” Cora said with a sarcastic sigh, referring to Norwan and Natalie being together.“How could you do this to me, Norwan? You treated me like a toy,” Cora added. In response, Norwan simply tightened his grip on Natalie’s hand, which didn’t go unnoticed by Cora. A smirk formed on her lips as she glanced back at Norwan.“Stop holding her hand in front of me,” she said, laughing. “You told me last time that my hands were enough for you to hold.”“Stop all this nonsense, Cora,” Natalie said bravely. Cora stopped laughing and looked at her in disbelief.“Why would I?” she asked, smirking. “Don’t tell me you’re afraid to lose.”Natalie took a deep breath. “Your men are the ones suffering because of what you’re d
The battlefield was a scene of unspeakable horror. The ground was slick with blood, bodies strewn everywhere like discarded dolls, the air thick with the stench of death. The clash of metal on metal, the screams of dying men, and the endless rhythm of war had not ceased for five long hours. Neither clan had yielded, and the chaos only deepened as the fight raged on. Natalie’s mind spun in confusion as she stood in the midst of the turmoil. She could scarcely comprehend what was happening—men from Norwan's clan fighting alongside hers, yet others, from different factions, turned their weapons on their own. Which clan is this? She wondered, eyes scanning the battlefield frantically, trying to piece together the puzzle that was slowly consuming everything.Her heart hammered in her chest. She needed to find him—Where is Norwan? Her thoughts were a whirlwind of fear, and every second that passed felt like an eternity. She tried to push through the chaos, slashing at the enemies who stood
The tension in the air was thick, a heavy silence hanging over the battlefield as Natalie stood frozen, her left leg planted firmly atop the broken form of Cora’s fallen Alpha. Her gaze swept over her own clan first, then to Norwan, who looked at her with something that resembled both confusion and apprehension. She remained still, exuding an unspoken power, her eyes burning with fury. Then, her attention shifted, and she slowly turned to face Cora’s men.The sight that met her eyes was almost surreal—men who had been so sure of their power, now standing frozen, unable to comprehend what had just happened. Their Alpha, the man they revered, lay at her feet, lifeless. The realization hit them like a hammer, their leader was gone, and they had just witnessed the unthinkable. The cold reality settled over them like a dark cloud.The man closest to Natalie—trembling, his hands shaking—could no longer bear the weight of fear in his chest. The ferocity in her eyes, the silent rage emanating
Norwan couldn't shake the worry gnawing at him as he stared at his mother, locked in a large cage with her hands shackled by chains. He could barely make out her face, but the sight alone sent a wave of anxiety through him."Norwan…" Amanda's whisper barely reached his ears, but it cut through the tension. He could feel her fear in those soft words."WHAT DID YOU DO TO HER?!" Norwan yelled, his voice breaking through the air as he glared at Cora, who stood calmly before him, a smirk tugging at her lips. She cast a quick glance at Amanda before returning her cold stare to Norwan."Copy her?" Cora replied with an irritatingly casual tone, causing Norwan's frown to deepen in frustration."What do you mean?" Don Grego asked, his curiosity piqued. Cora’s smile widened, her eyes glowing a dangerous red. In an instant, Norwan and Don Grego found themselves pulled into a vision—a painful flashback to the past.They watched as Cora survived Norwan’s attack, lurking in the shadows as she secret
Until now, Norwan couldn’t believe his eyes. The woman he had killed—the woman he had sacrificed so much to eliminate in order to save Natalie—was now standing in front of him, alive. She was here. And not just a shadow of the past, but in full force, with an army behind her. It felt like a cruel joke, a twist in time he couldn’t comprehend. Is she the one behind all this? How did she know we were here? Every question in his mind spiraled into another. She wasn’t just some ghost of his past—she was at the heart of it all, a living nightmare, and everything he had fought for seemed to be crumbling because of her.Cora’s voice broke through his spiraling thoughts, sweet and deceptively soft, like a velvet-covered blade. “Aren’t you happy to see me again, darling?” Her words danced through the air as she looked at him, her eyes sparkling with cruel amusement.Norwan didn’t flinch. His gaze was as cold as the steel under his skin, emotionless and unwavering. He stood like a statue, unread
The two healers from both clans worked swiftly, their hands glowing with energy as they focused on Natalie, who lay unconscious, blood seeping from her wounds. Beside them stood Don Grego, his face pale and twisted with concern. His eyes darted between the healers and his daughter, and yet, a cloud of confusion clouded his mind. He couldn’t understand why he was there, or what had led to this moment. The only memory he could grasp was of being at the hospital, talking to Natalie—until someone had approached him, a woman with strange questions, and then... nothing.“Goddamn, what’s happening? Why are my people here?” Don Grego’s voice trembled, the urgency of the situation growing heavier with each word. Norwan, who had been silently watching the scene unfold, turned sharply at his question. His concern for Natalie matched Don Grego's, but there was a gnawing feeling of unease. Why couldn’t the man remember?“Are you sure you don’t remember anything?” Norwan asked, his voice firm, thou
