Another day passed by, Rina tried to apply for yet another part-time job while waiting for her producer work from Eka. She worked as a bartender yet again, her fascination with drinks and food makes her quite artful in the arts of culinary. However, this time she works in a decent restaurant and not one of those nightly clubs.
She flashed her charming smile toward the passerby who looks at her throwing and mixing skills. Rina realized how charming she could be that she attracts girls and boys with ease. She poured the drinks in their glass delicately.
“Is this enough madam?” Rina flashed her charming smile.
“Oh yes, it is! Plenty enough!” the blonde-haired girl blushed shyly at Rina’s smile.
She made acrobatic shows of her mixing ability, enough to gather crowds around her. She worked in a five-star restaurant near Eka’s company. A big metropolitan city like Jakarta has plenty of famous restaurants that entice the rich
Roy came with Aveline, the woman who set her up with the president to make it as if Eka had a love affair. Rina could feel her hand form into a fist, she wouldn’t lie that she hates that woman the most for taking her beloved Aldi away from her. However, she knows that it’s her issue, no need to involve a stranger in her problem.
The next day…It was nothing out of sorts, the president's morning was disturbed by the sound of a loud thump In the next room. He could hear the painful screech of the woman who called herself his wife. The ruckus woke him up from bed, he might as well check what she’s up to. The dignified man checked the time on his silent mode cell phone.It’s quite early, 5 am, hence even the sky is still dark. The president groaned annoyed when he was awakened at that time, he wanted more rest time. As the owner of the Kikanasih TV company, his schedule is quite hectic. The only thing that cheered him up was the hamster pet he secretly purchased the other day.He remembered the time when he tried to scare his wife, and at that time Nabila knocked on the door to inform him that the hamsters' pet he purchased arrived soundly in the condominium. He asked his maid to take good care of his pet hamsters while he’s away, it
The Night before…Roy took the tipsy woman to a secluded area, not even to a hotel. She drove into a land of nowhere, an empty field that people rarely passed by. The tipsy
Present-day“The time is nigh, just tell me what you know for now” Eka sighed.
Eka descended from his office as Rina tagged along to see the gift. The president sighed as he saw the determined expression of his wife. He specifically ordered her to stay behind in his office since it sounds dangerous. However, Rina didn’t want to stay in the office doing nothing while the president faced danger.As the elevator let out the ‘ding’ sound, the power couple escaped from the steely box. Eka ordered his receptionist lady to clear the area on the lobby area. The alarm rang loud, the staff in the building hurriedly evacuated themselves with the help of securities. The receptionist decided to call the police under Eka’s order. However, it’ll take some time to arrive. Eka crossed his arm as he faced the mysterious box in the receptionist.Rina hid behind the president's back, carefully scanning the box. It has beautiful pink ribbons and colorful dot patterns on the box. The brave woman latched her ears on the b
In another place…Rina was taken by a stranger who pretended to be one of the disposal bomb group members. The man dragged Rina into a secluded place. The kidnapper is fast o
A laptop was sent to the president's condominium, along with a live video of the president wife getting tortured. Eka and Roy gathered in the condo living room, Roy’s great distaste in the video greatly shown in his calm expression. Eka could only lament his failure in seeing the outcome of his arrogance.Not even Roy spoke to the president, Eka didn’t want to sound like a failure he is, decided to think of a countermeasure to save his wife without showing himself. He feels like if he showed himself, then he lost to the game of chess. His pride was wounded, but at the same time, something else was wounded.His chest tightened, the moment he saw the agony in his wife's eyes made him grow restless.“So what is it now Eka? They wanted you to show your face at the site” Roy sounds unpleasant. “You’re going to send me to save her?”.There’s a tone of annoyance in Roy’s voice, Eka noticed his friend's
There are six people on guard, they’re loitering inside the factory. Eka tried to match the address on the paper that the culprit sent with the factory, it is indeed true. They are luring the president to get him killed, Eka knows getting in unarmed and without a plan will only get themselves killed.Eka and Roy exchanged glances, the two gentlemen are going to compete for who had the most kills. Three on the second floor, another three on the first floor. Roy went to the upper level while the president stayed on the bottom floor. Roy sneakily advanced behind the guard and strangled one of them behind smoothly.Roy is a trained assassin, after all, he has been assessing his skill under the Tanaya household. The man easily kills any guards he’s seen silently with a small knife he carried in his pocket. He punctured the pointed knife on the back of the guard neck.Not losing to Roy, the president also used his martial arts training to go through
The closing curtains have yet to come to her life, none of the Tanaya Family wants to see such ending befalls on the beautiful woman that is currently closing her eyes, bedridden for eternity.The doctor says that her organs might stop any minute, no one can predict when it will stop. There’s no sign of Rina’s waking up from her slumber, the only thing that they can do is wait patiently for her revival. Eka looks outside his window, holding a novel book that Roy gifted to him.Still, as empty as ever, the man can only sigh as he sees his wife next to him. His physical wounds have yet to heal, especially his chest area which still sting. Roy tells him over and over to get a grip, Eka knows this well that he’s unhealthy when it comes to his deteriorating mental health.He would like to hold his
In another place, Nene’s tears are stifled as she sits under the tree with her bodyguard Jung Kook. The man tries to cheer her up, but only to be silenced by the young woman herself. She’s upset that her father is the cause of Eka’s hollowness. Still, it’s unavoidable that the man is now just an empty vessel.Jung Kook sighs as his eyes gaze on the tree above him, the two share a quiet moment. However, the silence spoon broke as soon as Mrs. Mindy come into the scene. The serious look on her face indicates something dire. She sighs and then speaks frontally to her daughter. The woman suggested something that seems to be out of nowhere.“Nene, what do you think of marriage?” she asks her.Nene is thinking about it, marriage never once cross her mind since she would never have thoug
As days pass by, the young mercenary keeps his professionality in check as the man did whatever Roy tells him to do. He already limits his conversation with the Hills’ daughter, Aveline. He’s still working under the Tanaya household as their mercenary, he kills people if they order him to do.After all, it’s all about the money that he afters and nothing more. However, the face of the Hills’ Company daughter crosses his mind often. Three days pass by since then, Roy has replaced Eka’s place and take care of the company for him. The company still has lots of enemies behind the scenes, since the president has lots of enemies, to begin with.The president made a pact with the darkness, the underworld where evil reigns above all. His allegations against the Tamara Family invite lots of the villains to come for the president’s hea
The blinding white ceilings wake the proud man on a soft white bed, his caramel-skinned eyes grazed the soft white bed, his exhausted onyx eyes scan the white curtains around his bed. His body feels heavy and painful, he barely can move in his current situation. The president groans as he tries to steady his body, the sight of white colors around him disgusts him.The first thing he wakes up to is the sound of the birds chirping happily in the morning. He knows exactly where he is and why he’s there, the man knows that he fell into the fire with the woman. The man chooses to die rather than living alone without Rina by his side, it is his first time to treasure such a woman in his life.Roy comes in time with a canned coffee in hand, he gulps it in one sip. The man looks at Eka as if he enjoys teasing the injured man now that he can’t move fre
Rina lays on the bed helplessly, next to her is none other than her husband. The two share the same fate of being injured. However, only one of them would survive the tragedy. Eka’s major injuries are half of what the woman suffers. Mostly because Rina falls first and then the president follows after.He doesn’t want to be separated by the wife he treasures the most. The man is crazy about her to the point he chose death rather than losing her. Roy knew this, it is why he wants to save them both. The detective sits next to his sworn brother, his reddened eyes couldn’t mask his grief when he sees how his brother and his beloved are in critical condition.Moreover, Rina’s sepsis and organs failure are apparent in her analysis. The doctor only gives the word ‘be strong’. However, they can provide any solution for Rina’s ca
Roy is trying his best to reach the president and the woman he loves, but he doesn’t know if he could make it. Roy doesn’t even know if he could escape the fire himself since he’s quite deep in the mansion. The wildfire starts to reach him, the man is suddenly taken back by a familiar voice behind him.It was none other than Na Yeoul, he broke through the fire using his leathered jacket as a cover. The man then pulls Roy to stay away from the center area, it is where the fire is the biggest. Knowing this fact makes Roy wants to save them both. It is where there are, his beloved woman and his sworn brother.“Wait! I don’t want to leave Eka and Rina!” he yells at the young man behind him. “They’re going to die!”.“Then you want to die uselessly!?”
As the fire rages on, Eka stands under the stairwell as the building slowly collapses. His onyx eyes are empty as the dead fishes when he sees the man that stands before him. It is none other than his grandfather who never visits him since his mother’s death. His eyes filled with hatred, that alone could petrify anyone who crosses eyes with his.Eka aims his gun toward the man before him, it was an emotionless glance between the two men. They’re on the stairwell toward the rooftop, Eka halts him on his way toward the waiting helicopter on the rooftop. The white-bearded old man with majestic circle glasses stares at Eka who is set on killing him.“I will kill you for endangering my family” Eka snaps into anger.“Oh is that so? But didn’t you use your family as bait? That’s wh
The flirtatious mistress is losing her strength, the woman’s ankle slows her movement down. Especially her running speed, decreasing her momentum; the perpetrator is aiming to kill her no matter what. When his hand is about to touch her shoulder, Aveline turns around with a pepper spray in her hand.She sprays the content of the spray bravely toward the man’s face. He was taken back by the sudden spray on his face. As the woman runs away hurriedly, her aching ankles throb in pain. She doesn’t know whether the young mercenary survives the muscular man’s attack. Her mind constantly wandering to know whether the young man is alright.The row of stairs is still long and her leg turns wobbly from the pain, if she’s not careful then she might fall from the height. Sweats engulfed her panicked face as the game of cat and mouse are still o
Na Yeoul arrives in the hotel room, it was empty as expected. Nene’s family is not in the hotel anymore. Like what the detective said, they’re all kidnapped; however, something doesn’t seem right. The guards are all down, it is as if the kidnappers are informed of the numbers and the location.Not to mention the bodyguard’s dying message was that there’s someone among them who betrayed Eka’s trust. Na Yeoul doesn’t understand the deal with Eka’s family, they betrayed people like it’s nothing. As a commoner, Na Yeoul can’t relate to this intricate family drama. He would rather not partake in this matter if he could.The crime scene is rather spotless, if they were to be kidnapped then there should be a sign of struggle. However, there’s no sign of struggle or any bed has been rummaged in any
