The next day,The sun was now beginning to slowly rise from its resting place, slipping through a small hole that could penetrate its rays to disturb a woman still awake in her deep sleep. The glow that pierced her retinas made Valencia blink her eyes slowly as if disturbed by the rays that greeted her morning.She circled her eyes and saw that the clock was already 8:00 am. Suddenly, the owner of the eyelashes jumped out of her sleeping position and sat up with her eyes bulging, "I overslept!" Valencia exclaimed in a chirpy voice. Valencia quickly got out of bed and headed to the bathroom to clean herself up.On the other side of the wall, Asher is already neatly dressed in a black tuxedo suit with a black shirt that adds a relaxed and sexy vibe, contrasting with his brown skin color but looking so clean. Worthy of God's most seductive creature's status, anyone who sees it will be stunned.In front of the mirror, Asher looked at the reflection of his face while wearing the watch he h
Suddenly Valencia's cell phone on the table rang. Valencia lazily glanced at her cell phone, and Addison's name was there. Valencia's eyes immediately looked sharply at her cell phone. She lifted her head and sat back down correctly. Her eyes squinted with her mind already running somewhere."What's wrong with that old man contacting me? Ah, yes, I haven't set foot back at Addison's residence since that incident. I wonder what kind of swear words that old man will say this time." Valencia monologued. She immediately picked up the phone that had been ringing."Insolent child! Is this how you repay the kindness of the family that has taken you in and cared for you for the past two years!" from the tone of her intonation alone, it could be guessed that Addison was emotional. "Hello, Mr. Addison, what's wrong with you shouting so early? Aren't you ashamed of your neighbors if they hear it? Ah ... I forgot, a vile person like you must have no veins of shame. Sorry, I forgot about this one
"Augh..." moans the waitress from Valencia's grip. Her eyes stare fiercely, but there is fear in them. She stood tense without being able to reply to Valencia's threats."Auntie... You don't have to kowtow like that. I believe you didn't do it on purpose, did you?!" Valencia now let go of the maid. Now it was Valencia's turn to look at Addison with a sad face, "Ah... I had forgotten I was supposed to do this job. But why did you ask Auntie to serve me? What if Mom and sister saw it? They will hit me and whip me very roughly. I can't be like this anymore. I'm sorry, father." Addison's old man's eyes bulged at Valencia's sarcastic words. He smiled awkwardly, "How could they dare to hit and even whip you, my daughter, Valencia. If they dare to scold you, I'll be the one to take care of them, eh he.." said Addison with an innocent look.'You have no sense of shame! I'm already being sarcastic and still have a sweet mouth. Disgusting!'Then a few seconds later, Cecilia and her mother came
It didn't take long for a business magnate like Asher to take over all the shares of a small company like Addison Group. Now the fate of the company depended on Valencia controlling Asher. At least that's what Addison's old man thought, even though he didn't know that Valencia knew nothing about transferring 30% of Addison's shares."No! I'm not going to stop any of this. Because of that bitch you even dare to yell at your son and wife!" Jane retorted with her eyes blazing.After a few minutes, the servant brought the whip used to torture Valencia. The servant came in with a smirk on her face and a look of satisfaction on her face as she saw her employer's fiery gaze."Mistress, here is the whip. Shall we do it now?" the servant asked.Valencia did not flinch or express fear even though the whip was clearly in front of her eyes. Meanwhile, Addison left after a long argument with his wife and son."Hahaha... Valencia, haven't you seen your loyal friend for a long time? Now I will remin
Jane glanced at her maid and ordered her to call older man Addison, who was probably in the study right now, for help. To whom? Of course, to the mysterious person who always controlled everything from behind the scenes. It took a while, maybe close to 15 minutes, and Valencia even sat back on the sofa because she felt terrible for waiting too long. Addison arrived with a necklace in her hand. For some reason, Valencia, who saw Addison's smirking smile, felt a lousy sign coming her way. 'Did my threat not affect him this time? Why did the older man have a different expression than before in such a short time? Is the person behind the scenes starting to take action?' Valencia continued to think about the possibilities. "Valencia, you must want this thing in my hand, right?" Addison approached and was now standing right in front of Valencia's desk. "No need for pleasantries, old man. Tell me! What do you want to make up for the necklace in your hand." Valencia stared intently at Addi
"You don't want to give it back, Mr. Addison?! Should I use other means to make you understand that I don't like rejection!" Asher pressed his every word and made Bramantya even more frantic. In the end, Bramantya handed over the necklace with a furious feeling because not only could he not carry out the orders of the mysterious master controlling behind the scenes, but he also lost access to control Valencia. "This is Mr. Asher, your wife's property. And please forgive my impudence as her father is trying to guard my daughter's property." Addison said with a bit of spice. Asher quickly grabbed the necklace, and he snickered at the older man in front of him. "You should have done this earlier, Mr. Addison. You've taken up my precious time." Asher glanced at the three men escorting Valencia and signaled them to take care of the rest. "Darling, our business here is done, and it's lunchtime. We'd better get back to the mansion and have lunch together." Without saying much, Asher pick
This is what Asher hates about himself. He can't control his lust when he sees his wife. Valencia was already his legal wife. But remind Asher that he had promised not to touch Valencia without her consent. And just from looking at his wife's sexy lips and body, Asher is already horny and losing his sanity. "What are you doing to me!" exclaims Valencia in a high and firm tone. She is now staring at Asher's threadless back. Of course, Valencia asked him the question as soon as he woke up. She just wanted to remind him of their status and their agreement. Sitting beside the bed with his back to Valencia, Asher was quietly massaging his 'owned' heirloom. When he heard Valencia's exclamation, Asher suddenly stopped his activity and looked back. "Stop accusing and yelling, dear. It's still daylight. And need I remind you, I didn't touch you, let alone do anything indecent to you. Look, even your clothes are intact!" Asher spoke casually without any hesitation. 'Yes, I did not touch you
The reason Asher was angry was, of course, because essential documents regarding the development of arms sales and access to the warehouse had been compromised. Maybe for some people losing some things is normal. But not for Asher, who had developed his dark business with difficulty and the secret where others could find about the storage warehouse, so he would applaud him for having the courage to deal with him.As for Louzen. He is one of Asher's right-hand men besides Ken, who is assigned to manage the Dragon Knight Organization at the center when Asher is away. The reason Asher made him his right hand like Ken is, not without reason. Asher knew Louzen from 15 years ago in a mess and had no one and finally invited Louzen, giving everything as long as Louzen would be loyal to him.The attack that occurred on the failed shipment to Finland caused Asher to lose hundreds of millions of dollars. And that affected the structure of the upgrade and the reputation, which immediately dropped
"Surprise?!" repeated Asher with one eyebrow raised. 'Valencia doesn't usually make surprises like this. What does my naughty wife want to do?' but the words stuck in Asher's mind.Asher massaged his temples and signaled the waiters to disperse. Asher was completely unaware that today was his birthday. All Asher knew was that he was irritated by his nosy wife's behavior, who arbitrarily changed the order of the mansion. Even though Asher always kept the mansion the same as before, which was when his late mother still occupied it.Asher's light steps carried him up the stairs to their bridal suite, hoping his wife was there or making sure Valencia didn't leave the mansion without his knowledge. Every step Asher took was like a flower blossoming in spring. It felt so thrilling."Since when did my heart become so pounding just from stepping into a room and imagining Valencia sleeping on her back. Oh shit! I really can't seem to help it." Asher said.The door to the room was still firmly
Valencia let out a long sigh after seeing Avrora's departure from her sight. Her body that had tensed up with the veins on her forehead that were interlocking gradually decayed and went limp. Her sluggish body collapsed and sat down on the sofa with both palms that still left a sense of anger, fear and trembling. 'I never thought I would have to deal with a woman of such high status in the Kingdom so quickly. It's really tiring, even my hands are still shaking after her departure.'"Madam, are you alright?!" Asked Rey worriedly at Valencia who looked exhausted and had a worried look on her face. Valencia turned to Rey who was standing beside her with a smile. She waved her hand slightly as a sign that she was okay. "I'm fine, Rey. Oh yeah, I hope this incident doesn't reach Asher's ears." Valencia said calmly, though not as calmly as her heart was still racing at the thought of Avrora's name. "Are you sure you don't want me to report it to Lord? Because I think, in the future, th
Valencia turned her head with a smile and patted Liana's hand to ease the anxiety of the maid Valencia already considered a friend. "I'm fine. After all, from the moment I found out that Asher had been matched, I already had a premonition that there would definitely be a time for me to meet Princess Avrora. It's just that I didn't expect that the time to meet would be this soon, I will definitely deal with it.""Madam, you are truly full of patience and maturity. It is fitting that the lord chose you to be his lifelong companion. Master has never made a wrong choice.""Never mind... don't keep praising me. Rather, prepare the meal for Princess Avrora immediately. I'm afraid the maid made a mistake out of fear. I'm going to change my clothes to welcome her."Valencia and Liana began to move off on their own. Valencia went upstairs to change into proper clothes. Liana, on the other hand, took over the maid's duties to serve the honored guests of the Kingdom.In the living room, Princ
Asher glanced with a sharp glance at Louzen, "Louzen you come to my office." Asher ordered."Yes, sir." Louzen trailed behind Asher, following his leader to the Dragon Knight leader's private study.In the Dragon Knight leader's private study, Asher was already sitting at his desk. Meanwhile, Louzen stood in front of him quietly waiting for Asher to start talking. "Tell me Louzen. What information did you get from the incident that happened at The Angel building?" Asher asked calmly. He didn't want to pressure Louzen and make him too cautious.As much as possible Asher made Louzen feel that he didn't know anything Louzen had done, so that in time Asher could catch those who were traitors in the Organization. As the saying goes, if you want to catch a fish, you need to spread the bait, widen the net and pull it slowly so that the fish is not surprised and get a satisfactory catch.Louzen was still silent. He seemed to be organizing the right words to say to Asher. "Sir, I've sent a t
Asher glanced at Rey. "Rey, escort Her Highness the Princess back to her palace. Tell Her Majesty the Queen to take good care of her daughter. I have a busy schedule and don't have time to play with her spoiled daughter!" Rey immediately broke out in a cold sweat. Swearing by anything, Rey would do everything he was told, except bringing Princess Avrora back to the Palace. But Rey was just a subordinate, he was forced to obey his lord's orders. "Your Highness Princess, please return to the Palace. Currently the Master cannot accompany you, he has a busy schedule that cannot be postponed." Rey said with all due respect to the daughter of the leader of the Stanford Kingdom. Avrora could only snort in annoyance. She was indeed old enough to lead a country. Avrora was also smart enough to follow protocol or state meetings. It was just that her attitude suddenly turned spoiled and childish when in front of Asher. That's what made Asher feel ill-feeling and uneasy if he had to linger wi
Valencia noted the ingredients needed to make the cake, tumpeng yellow rice, young coconut, other fresh fruits to make fruit ice and finally vegetables for the side dish to complement the yellow rice. "Yep... Can you read it, Liana?" Asked Valencia, she handed the piece of paper to Liana. "Let me read it. Hmm... " Liana looked like she was reading seriously. "It looks like the meal that Madame is going to make is going to be special. There are a lot of spices that are said to make food have a high flavor. I'm really looking forward to Madame cooking a lot of food." Liana grinned. Valencia had already prepared it earlier. She took out her gold card and gave it to Liana. "Shop all you want, Liana. I'll be waiting for you here.""Yes, ma'am. Then I'll go shopping." Liana said cheerfully. Valencia could only shake her head in understanding. She did not expect, the figure of Liana that Valencia first saw looking very mature and calm was only a cover. The Liana that Valencia saw at thi
Asher looked at the file in front of him to check. But his mind drifted to thinking about the arranged marriage forced by his father. "Rey, order a team of hackers and spies to track down the ulterior motives between father and Her Majesty the Queen. I'm still sanctioning this just an ordinary matchmaking. There must be a price to be paid by Father for this." Asher ordered. "Sir, isn't your wife the fiancée of the Crown Prince who disappeared two years ago?!" Rey asked while struggling with the documents in front of her. "Hm. Alexa Zheyana Hoult is the official fiancée with a will and stamp from the late King. Therefore, even though I am legally married to Alexa in Broughton. Alexa's engagement to Daniel was still valid in Stanford, as long as the will and royal seal had not been returned. And damn it, those seals were nowhere to be found. Perhaps someone from the late Madame Harsha's camp has deliberately kept it.""So, according to the master. Lady Alexa's supporters still expect
"Shhh... don't let anyone else hear about this, let alone Asher." Alexa warned Liana with her index finger to keep what she saw and heard a secret. "But why would you do that, ma'am?" Liana asked not understanding Alexa's train of thought. She put the porridge on the table and sat next to Alexa. "You know, Liana. The first time I met Asher was a miracle. I had just fallen off a cliff because I was escaping from someone's captivity and Asher was lucky to save me. It was only a few days after that. He suddenly legalized the marriage without my knowledge on the grounds that I was unconscious, isn't that ridiculous." Alexa said recounting the beginning of her meeting with Asher. "Madam, I have become very curious about the course of Madam's love story with Tuan. Because as far as Liana knows about Tuan. He is a rigid man who is against women." "Really?! Ah... don't just say that. How can any woman reject a man as handsome and rich as Asher." Alexa chuckled with her opinion. "I'm
Louzen and his men took over the job of taking care of the guards. Asher headed for the car that was ready in the courtyard. Yes... The Ferrari that Asher was using was parked in front of the building. Maybe Louzen had brought the car to the courtyard. Asher opened the car door behind the steering wheel with his left hand. He sat Alexa down with the car seat stretched out to make Alexa feel comfortable. Alexa's eyes were still closed, which made Asher even more worried and anxious. He closed the side door then switched to the driving seat and took his sports car at high speed. A 30-minute drive from The Angel building to the mansion. In front of the main door, Asher stopped the car. From the front side of the door, the mansion guard approached the car and opened the front door and invited Asher to get out. Asher came out from inside and gave the car keys to the guard. "Move the car." Asher ordered. He immediately went to the side door of the car and lifted Alexa bridal style and
