-Present-day-
Eka still remembers faintly the feelings he had back then when he saw his mansion was burnt into dust by none other than the perpetrator who killed his father. Strangely enough, he didn’t feel that much sadness losing his father. He knows that deep down, his father simply wants a better son than him.
His father was partly responsible for his mother’s suicide, after all, that man has always been violent and uncontrollable when it comes to his emotional outburst. However, watching all the riches his father built and the place where he preserved his memories with his best friend burnt down just like that fueled his anger.
The president decided to tell his wife about the past he hides all this time, he wanted to clear the confusion with his wife who almost died due to his inability to come clear. Eka told his confused wife that his family was known in the underworld and his father is the leader of
Eleven years ago…Rina was bullied by the famous rich people as usual. The news about her adoption has spread widely among the students. Even Rina herself was unaware of why such rumors exist. There must be someone who’s very jealous of her family success recently, thus making her a target bully.Every time she entered her classroom, her bag was immediately taken away from her. The girls would ransack her bag content and spread it on the floor like dirt. Rina knows that the success of her father's company has taken a toll on another rival company, it’s the fate of being the daughter of a famous family.The daughter from the rival company influenced her friends to bully Rina endlessly, it’s not her first time to receive such treatment from her peers. She likes gardening the most, thus she joins the gardening club back during her school time. She had an inkling with plants, she likes tending the garden in her
-Present-day-Rina smirked at the president and flashed her proudest smile. She denied the president offer and puffed her chest like a gorilla, the president swore he could see the playful smirk on her face. Eka asked once more, questioning his wife again about her decision, just to make sure he didn’t mishear what Rina says.“I’m telling you, I’m alright with our marriage” Rina puffed her cheeks. “After all, now I know what I’m handling”.Eka was a little bit shocked with the sudden optimism his wife had, he asked again this time to reconsider her choices. Intervening in an underworld matter is no trivial matter, she might lose her life. Rina pretended she didn’t hear the president's last words and chatted with Roy like the president was not even there.Roy happily obliged to chat with Rina, his face brightened as soon as Rina asked him about how he’s doing.“How ar
After several weeks…Rina was yet to heal, but the woman dislikes staying in the hospital. Eka tried to reason with the woman to stay, but lately, the woman has become more rebellious and acts vulgar in front of him. Thus Nabila was in charge of Rina’s health in the condominium, protected with several bodyguards outside the condo and in front of the condo.Eka has taken an overprotective measure to protect his injured wife, he’s not even certain as to why he’s this concerned over a woman who just lost her company. The president is also spending his time at the condo more than his office, he just doesn’t want to see Roy’s sorrowful expression and Rina’s horrified face.He sits on the comfortable couch to do his work, eating the leftover fruits his wife doesn’t want. Eka could only lament how he was treated as his wife's nanny at this moment. He keeps scolding and lecturing his wife ab
Roy knew the moment Eka widened his eyes in shock, he was doomed. The man has been harboring a deep feeling for Rina who is bright and cheerful. The woman is different from any woman he played with in the past. Rina never lost her way, she has always been a positive girl who tried to accomplish her goals to live independently.She was also the only woman who dared to step up against his best friend, Eka. That quality itself attracted Roy’s attention, that she’s unique from the other power-hungry woman who went after Eka. The president sighed and rubbed his temple in confusion, his onyx eyes looked disappointed and puzzled.Roy was a little bit lost for words because he knows that he no longer can hide his feelings toward Rina.“Eka, maybe if I stay away from you then everything gets better” Roy tried to compose himself.“Shut up,” Eka replied, stressed.Roy knew that the president never felt such foreign emotions
A day passed by, the tranquility can be addicting for Rina whose still laid on the comfortable bed with her loving husband that begged her to eat her porridge. It was a rare sight for Rina who always watched her arrogant husband step down and feed a spoonful of porridge into her mouth. His dedication also knows no bounds, he’s doing his job while tending her needs.Rina felt she received strange kindness from her husband since he usually never treated her this way. Her negative mind told her that her husband might want something from her, so she cautiously asked her husband.“Eka, is there something you want?” Rina asked from her comfortable bed.The Iv on her hand stung her a bit, especially that she always slept in a strange pose that even her husband couldn’t comprehend. She keeps scratching her stung hand, not until Eka skived her hand away.“What are you even saying, Rina? You should be grateful that your loving husband
In another place…When the detective pretended to fall asleep, he could feel the faint presence of someone sneaking into his office. He saw his ceiling as the sound of faint footsteps alerted his senses. Roy brought his gun with him, he pulled out his gun from the drawer next to his bed. He went outside his bedroom to check the source of the sound.Roy aimed his gun at the ceiling, removing the safety trigger as he gazed at the ceiling. He still tried to formulate a plan to counter whoever is sneaking inside his office. If he were to taunt him, who knows what other tricks the enemy is using. The sound disappeared and it was replaced with the sound of someone landing in front of his door.The mysterious person is about to sneak in through the entrance door, Roy hid under his desk as the culprit broke in swiftly. He picks locked the detective agency door, then he must be a skilled burglar or mercenary.He mi
Eka was a bit confused when the phone who called him is an unregistered number. However, Nabila could assume that it is Roy. He asked for the person on the other side of the phone for his identity. However, all he could hear is static and the sound of someone banging on an object. He closed his cell phone, knowing that it might be a prank call.However, he couldn’t shake his thoughts from Roy. The tanned president felt as if something big just happened. He turned on the news, and Roy’s detective agency is in the spotlight of the breaking news. The news reporter around Roy’s house flocked around, his agency was being vandalized by someone.“A passerby claims that he saw a thick red smoke going inside this detective agency house! The agency that belongs to Roy Kurniawan, a private investigator that works to help the police force to uncover some crimes” the female news reporter spoke in such urgency.Eka knew somet
Rina couldn’t believe what she just received, a kiss on her temple from the tyrannic president she used to hate. The president softened up for a bit since she was abducted by those ruffians. She never thought she could feel this happy from receiving such a tender kiss from the president. The playboy president has now made the woman’s heartthrob harder than usual.Nabila entered the room, perhaps replacing the president who is still out on errands. Nabila asked Rina whether something troubling her or she needs a hand in something. Rina shook her head, saying that she will be fine for a while. She was a bit suspicious when she saw the president’s being upset earlier.He quickly masked it with sarcasm then headed somewhere, he didn’t bother to tell Rina where he headed. She could only hope that he’s not pushing himself too hard. She knows how tired the president is, she still remembered that his company is under a lot of media pressure due to
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
