“So about my clueless wife” Eka coughed. “Isn’t there anything we could do to prevent his family from being hunted?”.
The matters are never resolved, in a matter of fact, Rina’s father disappeared from the detective’s trace as if he never existed. That movement itself made the detective wonder whether that sketchy man had something to do with the misfortunes that they experienced so far.
The detective already investigated that her father succumbed to alcoholism due to depression. This leading to Rina’s contracted marriage with Eka who accepted, since the father no longer wants to think about heavy things that weighed his mind. Eka remembered vividly with Rina’s father's explanation, he could only guess that Rina experienced the same pain as him.
“I promised that I’ll try my best to protect her family,” Eka sighed. “But he disappeared into thin air, how odd”.
Yes, certainly
The two men lead Rina’s inside an expensive-looking SUV car. Rina would have thought that Eka would use his sports car often rather than an SUV. As if Roy is reading Rina’s mind, the gentleman told her that he usually left his sports car at home if he doesn’t have the attention to pick random girls in a nightclub.Rina glared at Eka for using such a distasteful method, flaunting his wealth must be his hobby since the man doesn’t seem to be the type of man who would self introspect his mistakes. Eka glared at Roy, the detective just playfully winked at the impatient man. There’s a strange air of uneasiness in the air.Mostly because Rina is still upset with the two men, mostly Eka who has yet to say anything about his action. As they get in the white SUV, Rina sits on the passenger seat next to the driver seat sullenly. Her brown eyes gazing on the night sky, looking for any sign of the sparkling stars that might heal her anxiety.&l
The three awkward people entered the fancy western restaurant under aunt Mindy’s name. They’re led into a VIP room, thanks to the soundproof wall they’re less disturbed in a way. Aunt Mindy came right after they entered the VIP room, it’s obvious that aunt Mindy and her husband were in an ominous mood.It seems their mood grows worse due to work-related issues, this only dampens Rina’s mood more further. Eka sits across the two adults and Rina is seated next to him grimly. As soon as all of them are seated, the meeting at the round table starts quite earlier than she thought. As expected, aunt Mindy scrutinized her every movement like a hawkThe old woman interrogated her like snakes, pretty much eyeing any Rina’s weakness. Rina was frozen stiff in her seats, but the men next to her tried to encourage her with a silent smile. Aunt Mindy started to ask about her education and her past jobs before meeting Eka, which she stated directly
Eka was quick on his feet as he immediately locked the opponent's movement by pulling his arm and disarming him with his aikido technique. If she remembers correctly, it’s a martial art technique that requires the user to lock the opponent's movement.It wasn’t her first experience, she was abducted before and this is another sleazy second attempt from these people.Roy was disarming the one who hoisted her up, it was a simple hit on the back but it somehow affects the man greatly. I fell with only Roy capturing Rina on time, his smile brightened when she landed perfectly on his grasp. Eka merely clicked his tongue when he saw Roy smiled. It was good teamwork between the two of them.She looked at the kidnappers who laid on the floor, unconscious. Rina stuck out her tongue at them happily. Mindy and Andrian merely eyed the commotions from afar, as if they’re silently judging Rina’s reaction. Roy put Rina down, the woman thanked the detect
The air inside the car was quiet since Roy wasn't there with them. Roy is acting as a pacifier, now that he’s not here, the two idiotic couple could only avoid each other gaze like plague. None of them could be honest with each other that’s for sure. Strangely enough, the president was the one who initiated the conversation.“Rina, how’s the deal with company Starmo?” He asked a work-related question.“Starmo? It’s that talent agency company right? I think we’re in the middle of finalizing our deal” Rina replied professionally.“Good, good” Eka smiled pleasantly. “They have lots of promising public figures that we can use to boost our TV station”.It’s quite surprising to see Eka’s company never had any contracts with any amazing talent agency. The content of the show is always about politics and government-related issues. Overall, his TV station is a hit amongst the
Eka and his wife arrived at home, followed by Nene’s parents shortly behind. The four of them walked together side by side without a hitch, it’s strange to see the sudden friendliness of Nene’s parents towards Rina. She knew how aggressive and fearful Nene’s parents are, this sudden change flabbergasted the president’s wife.“It appears our test invites unneeded attention” Mr. Andrian sighed. “For that, I apologize Rina”.“It’s fine, it’s an accident” Rina nodded to him.It was strange to see that female mercenary again at the restaurant, the enemy knew Tanaya’s schedule too much. The only thing she could think of is that someone leaked the info to the other party. However, it’s just a wild guess coming from a president’s wife. She’s unsure if she should ask Eka, but the next thing she knew, she was left alone with Mrs. Mindy.Apparently, Mr. Andrian drag
Mindy’s question baffled Rina’s, her cheeks reddened from the sudden blunt question. Her heart raced as the old woman's eyes penetrated her defense. Rina could feel naked in front of the gentle gaze of Mindy, Nene’s mother. Still, she was befuddled as to what she should answer.Her amber eyes looked at her, thinking whether she could tell the day where the men forced her into a threesome. It still upsets her nevertheless, and there’s no one she can trust enough to tell that shameful day. She thought of telling Nene, but she’s afraid of her scorn, even though she knew well that Nene grows soft on her.Her mind is telling her to ask Mindy about that, she swallowed her saliva and braced herself to ask Nene’s mother. She fidgeted her thumbs, twiddling them together anxiously.“Aunt Mindy, there’s something that I have to ask you” Rina braced herself.“Ask away dear” Mindy spoke gently.R
Eka just finished his meeting with Andrian, it was a pleasant meeting accompanied by a few wine drinks while they’re talking about job strategy. Andrian had some troubles in his line of works. He found out that there are several problems with the suppliers he invested in and Eka helped him and suggested to him the best way to counter such problems.The man has always been quick on his wits, he’s an excellent businessman for a reason. After handling the problematic deal of Andrian’s supplier, the president decided to return to his chamber and changed his formal outfit. However, unbeknownst to him, he happened to see Nene’s mother and Rina together, enjoying the warmth from the fireplace.He froze in his place and chose to listen to their conversation intently. The man could only chuckle at the girly talk he listened to. It’s a chance for him to tease his wife about this later. However, the last words he heard from his wife was how upset she
Roy and Rina sit next to the weakened president, his condition seems to worsened since he’s been groaning unstoppably and clutching on the edge of the blanket. Roy undressed him and put on his night pajamas, wiping the cold sweats on his body. The president’s wife's mind was engulfed in worries and fear of what’s going to happen to him.Like a trigger, she’s scared when she sees how ill Eka is. It just reminds her of the day when her mother had cancer. If they were to be more cautious and check-up every year, maybe that won’t happen to her mother. Until this day, her heart always screams whenever she sees her mother bedridden with the nauseating view of her using oxygen.Leukemia has always been a serious illness, an illness that she usually watched on Indonesia’s soap opera. However, none of those sappy tv shows affected her until she saw her mother in the same condition. Rina clutches the edge of the bed, as her grim expression sho
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
