Letta now gazes at the neatly arranged dish in front of her, on the large table that could accommodate twelve people. She's the only one sitting while she looks at Desi, standing not far from her."Are you not eating? Would you like to sit here with me?" Letta said, causing the servants behind Desi to exchange glances. Desi just nodded before approaching."Sorry, I had my meal a while ago before serving dinner for Madam. It's better for Madam to enjoy her food alone. We shouldn't dine at the same table as our employer," Desi said, making Letta furrow her brow."Who made such a rule? Wouldn't it be better if someone accompanied me while eating? I have a better appetite when someone is with me," Letta said, gazing at Desi with a pleading look, but Desi shook her head."Madam can enjoy her meal alone. We'll accompany from here," Desi said, standing not far from Letta's table. Letta sighed deeply, feeling that no one dared to accompany her at the large table. She started to take some dish
Letta gazed at Marco in disbelief as he casually refused and altered the agreement that Letta had previously thought through on her own."You can't just change it like that. You need my approval," Letta said, only to receive a dismissive response from Marco, as if Letta's opinion didn't matter to him."I'll make a more reasonable agreement than this," Marco said, causing Letta to stare at him incredulously. She was about to grab the paper that had been in Marco's hand without getting up from her seat. But as she moved, she had to bend slightly and shift the table in front of her. This action widened Marco's eyes."Hey, what are you doing? Don't you remember who's in your belly? Can't you be more careful?" Marco said firmly, looking towards Letta's stomach. Letta was slightly startled. To her, she wasn't endangering anything. She was just making a sudden movement, but Marco's reaction seemed exaggerated."You can't just move around recklessly with your body. What if something happens t
Letta gazed at her reflection in the large mirror in front of her. She was wearing a white dress that clung to her body. Letta kept staring, wondering if the reflection in the mirror was really her or not. Her face was adorned with light makeup, yet she didn't even recognize her own face. Had it really been so long since she last dressed up? Letta tugged at the corner of her lip.A few years ago, Letta had envisioned her dream wedding with Abian. They planned for a simple ceremony with a few friends in a spacious garden. There wouldn't be much adornment; just a simple dress with a flower crown. Letta didn't demand much from Abian. The memory made Letta's smile fade.But now, everything was different. The dress that clung to her body, even just the price of it rendered Letta speechless. Even the small hairpin that supported her hair glimmered in the mirror's reflection. Letta didn't know the price of all the things she was wearing, even though Marco had said they wouldn't have a lavish
Letta didn't know if there was something wrong with her appearance, but she still vividly remembered a few hours ago when she examined herself in front of the large mirror. Everything seemed fine, but the woman dressed in white, similar to her, continued to stare at her with sharp eyes, as if scrutinizing every inch of Letta's appearance."Let me introduce them, they are my parents," Marco said, making Letta force her best smile, although it felt extremely awkward."Congratulations on your marriage," Helena said, glancing towards the man next to her, Edward Jovanka. She looked at Letta with an expression not much different from Helena's."Thank you," Letta replied awkwardly, but her heart raced faster as Edward began speaking with a deep voice almost similar to Marco's, even sounding the same. Letta felt intimidated before something happened."Is it true that you're pregnant with Marco's child?" Edward asked coldly, making Letta only blink a few times before nodding her head."What is
Arabella then patted Letta's shoulder before returning to her friendly demeanor as Marco approached them."Getting along well, I see?" Marco said, prompting Arabella to straighten up and draw closer to him. With ease, Arabella wrapped her arm around Marco's, and he didn't mind at all."Of course, I have to get close to her. Isn't that a good thing?" Arabella said, smiling sweetly at Marco, who then extended his hand. He stroked Arabella's cheek, causing Letta to glance at those around them.People were still busy with the party, but Letta was sure someone among them must know about their current situation. Watching her husband being affectionate with his own fiancée, Letta couldn't help but ponder. What was really happening to her now? Was this really a contractual marriage that allowed Marco to keep his fiancée? What about her own fate and that of her future child, making Letta blink rapidly. Somehow, just imagining her child's fate made Letta feel suffocated. Even her face started t
Desi immediately extended her hand and knocked on Letta's bedroom door, followed by a servant carrying a tray of food for Letta."Madam, are you in there? I've brought your meal," Desi said. Silence ensued for a moment before Desi knocked on the door again. Still, Letta didn't respond at all, prompting Desi to try to glance at the servant beside her before slowly pushing the door open.Desi peered into the spacious room, but what felt odd was that she didn't sense anyone inside. Desi entered further, and indeed, Letta was not in the room. Desi looked around."Perhaps Madam is in the bathroom," another servant suggested. Desi attempted to check the bathroom, but it too was empty. The dressing room was also devoid of Letta. Desi began to feel that something was amiss, her face displaying a sense of panic."Summon the other servants and search the area around the house. If you don't find her within ten minutes, report back to me immediately," Desi said, causing the other servant to swift
An hour earlier, Letta immediately shut the door of her room with a panicked expression. After that, she began searching for her phone. Letta didn't know what to do at this moment. A while ago, she had heard Arabella's words, which seemed to open up her mind. With sweat dampening her temples and hands trembling, Letta didn't know whom to contact, as there was currently no one she could rely on.Eventually, Letta fell silent beside the bed. The only way she had was to leave that house. She had to save herself and her child. Although Letta didn't know what the future held, she might be alright, but it could also go terribly wrong, as Arabella had suggested. Moreover, seeing how the two families seemed to be orchestrating everything and accepting Letta easily, it was something Letta found hard to digest.Letta then decided on one course of action, which was to leave the house. It seemed like the right choice for her at that moment. Letta gazed at the large mirror in front of her, her wed
Marco immediately slammed on the brakes of his car, his eyes widening as he was taken aback by the shocking scene ahead. Letta's body lay sprawled on the hard asphalt, causing Marco to freeze before quickly rushing out of the car with several passing guards. They were startled to see Letta lying there, her white dress now soaked in blood.Marco ran towards Letta, trying to embrace her while calling out her name with a panicked expression. However, Letta didn't respond, even as Marco attempted to wake her. Seeing Letta's blood-stained hands, Marco glared angrily at the guards around him. He ordered them to prepare the car immediately."For anything's sake, hurry! If anything happens to Letta or her unborn baby, I will destroy all of you!" Marco yelled at the guards, who then helped open the car door. He placed Letta in the car and sat, embracing her, feeling her cold and sweaty body."Step on the gas! Don't be slow! If any of that happens, I will kill all of you!" Marco shouted at the
Letta looked back at Marco, who was now sitting next to her, his gaze focused on the road ahead where the congested cars filled the streets. Somehow, Letta felt the timing was a little off because the traffic jam was consuming their remaining time on the road. If the traffic had been smooth, they would have reached the shopping center in about 15 minutes. It had been more than 30 minutes, yet their car hadn't moved an inch. Letta could see how Marco's jaw was clenched. It seemed that it wasn't just the traffic jam making Marco look angry, but also someone who had sent flowers to her that they still didn't know about. Letta had only read the card, which said the flowers were as beautiful and charming as her. It seemed that was why his emotions finally surfaced. Letta then stroked the back of Marco's hand, which was now gripping the steering wheel, making Marco look deeply at Letta. "Are you still angry?" Letta asked, making Marco finally sigh deeply. "I'm not angry," Marco replied, ma
Marco then smiled and approached Letta. He then embraced her from behind, taking over the watering of the plants and turning it off before releasing her carelessly."It's okay, don't be angry like that. If you keep making that face, I might just devour you anytime," said Marco, causing Letta to want to respond. However, Marco immediately placed his index finger on his wife's soft lips."No protests. I truly had no intention of disparaging your cake. I was just worried that if you went down to the kitchen, you might get hurt," Marco finally said, causing Letta to sigh deeply."I do have to go down to the kitchen as a woman, as a future mother. Of course, I have to provide delicious meals for my husband and my children. You know, everything I forget truly makes me forget how to cook. Isn't that normal?" Letta asked, making Marco shake his head."You don't need to do that. What's the point of hiring the best cook in this house if you're going back to the kitchen in the end?" Marco said,
Marco furrowed his brow slightly when he realized Letta wasn't by his side. He felt anxious and worried, especially when recalling bad memories. He put on his bathrobe and hurried to the bathroom. After checking the empty bathroom and dressing room, Marco noticed scattered clothes belonging to Letta, reminding him that he forgot to take Letta shopping.After freshening up, Marco changed into casual clothes and headed downstairs. As he passed the guards and servants, they saluted and bowed, something that was usual at Marco's house. As he was about to head to the garden, he heard a commotion coming from the kitchen, prompting him to furrow his brow and decide to check first before looking for Letta. In the kitchen, Marco was surprised to see Letta sandwiched between two servants and Desi, observing the messy state of the kitchen."What are you doing?" Marco asked, and seeing his wife's face made him smile broadly. Letta answered somewhat irritably, "Come on, if you want to tease, you b
Marco got out of the car carrying a box of cakes and went straight into the house."Where is Letta?" Marco asked as he passed one of the servants."She's in the garden next to the house, sir," the servant replied, causing Marco to glance at his watch, which read 2:00 in the afternoon."Didn't we take a break after coming back from the garden earlier?" Marco asked, causing the servant to shake their head and bow."Madam was seen strolling with Desi, but I didn't see her go into her room," the servant said, making Marco heave a long sigh. After that, Marco walked towards the garden on the side of his house.There, Marco saw Letta sitting not far from the edge of the pool, sipping tea and nibbling on some snacks that seemed untouched. Marco furrowed his brow as he saw Letta gazing at the pool."What are you thinking about?" Marco asked, making Letta startle slightly and smile as she looked at him."Are you back already?" Letta asked, making Marco nod his head."So what's making you think
Marco immediately stepped inside. Currently, Marco had made an appointment with one of the doctors who had previously treated Letta. He knocked on the door, entered, and sat in front of the doctor, who smiled at him."Mr. Jovanka, how can I help you?" the doctor asked, making Marco nod."Yes, I need the doctor's assistance," Marco said, causing the doctor to furrow his brow. The doctor was actually a bit surprised because just a few hours ago, he had met with Marco to examine Letta. Shortly after that, Marco contacted him again to make an appointment, but this time for himself. The doctor finally chose to listen to what the heir of the Jovanka estate really needed."Yes, what kind of assistance do you need?" the doctor asked, making Marco look at him seriously."I want to ask first, can my wife recover to her previous state?" Marco asked again, making the doctor furrow his brow slightly."Are you referring to her memory?" the doctor asked, making Marco nod."Yes, about all the memorie
Marco gazed at Letta, who was leaning on his shoulder. They were in the car on their way home after Letta insisted on staying silent for a while in the park."Why?" Marco asked, reaching out his hand to gently stroke Letta's face, prompting Letta to finally look up at her husband."No, I'm just thinking," Letta said, causing Marco to furrow his brow. Letta then leaned her head back again, and Marco gently stroked the top of his wife's head."I'm scared," Letta said, causing Marco to stop his hand movement."What are you afraid of? Is someone bothering you, or is something troubling your mind?" Marco asked, making Letta nod."There's something troubling my mind," Letta said, making Marco feel a sense of unease. Each word Letta wanted to say seemed to instill a sense of fear in Marco. He was afraid that one day her memories would slowly start to resurface, becoming a time bomb for her."After meeting Celine earlier, I've been thinking a lot," Letta said, making Marco fall silent as he l
Marco immediately scanned the surroundings, searching for Letta, who was no longer in her original seat. "Find where Letta is now, don't let her go far from us. Search around this park and tell your men to move now," Marco said, making Pedro nod. He then turned back to give instructions to his men. Meanwhile, Marco quickly ran back to that seat, looking at the empty spot where Letta had been sitting earlier, wondering where she might be. He scanned the bustling park, finding it difficult to locate his wife.Marco then ran in another direction, toward the food truck and the restroom. Perhaps Letta was looking for him, but Marco still couldn't find her. Marco started to feel a bit anxious. Losing Letta was beginning to haunt him again. He couldn't bear losing his wife for the umpteenth time. Marco had promised to give her anything he had, as long as Letta stayed by his side. Yet, for some reason, the fear continued to haunt him, making Marco's heart race so intensely it felt like it mig
Pedro then instructed the driver, who was now driving his car, to speed up as their car approached Marco's. After that, they attempted to cut off the car following Marco's. However, it seemed they realized that Pedro was onto their motives, prompting them to step on the gas pedal. This led to a high-speed chase between them, with Pedro in pursuit and the other car evading. This disrupted the path of several other cars, causing some minor chaos in the traffic.When Pedro instructed their driver to cut the car off, suddenly the car veered, causing Pedro's car to be unable to avoid it perfectly. As a result, Jacob's people's car collided with the side of Pedro's car, causing both vehicles to spin in the midst of the relatively busy traffic.Pedro caught a glimpse of the people inside the car, but as he attempted to get out of his car to apprehend them, the car swiftly restarted and drove away. Pedro hurried to run, knowing he wouldn't be able to catch the car. Consequently, he could only
Someone in a car was observing a couple who had just entered the car, causing the observer to clench their fists. "Follow their car, but don't let them notice," said the man with bright-colored eyes, making the driver nod. They kept a distance from the other car and continued to tail it."I heard his wife is pregnant and has just come out of a coma?" Jacob asked, glancing at the man next to him, a dark-skinned man who nodded."From the information I've gathered, that's correct," he replied, causing Jacob to furrow his brow."What happened to his wife? Because as far as I know, Marco would never allow his wife to be harmed in any way," Jacob said, still gazing ahead until they arrived at a large hospital, prompting Jacob's car to stop as well."I want you to keep following him. I want to know what developments you need to obtain. I need to get the key to his downfall, so that he'll comply with what I want," Jacob said, making the man nod. After that, Jacob stepped out of the car, surv
