As the sun began to rise, sunlight streamed into the room through the window. Nayla woke up first and saw Zavier still sleeping beside her. She gazed at Zavier's face, which looked so peaceful in his sleep, and felt moved by everything they had been through together.
That man had always been the figure she desired, while Michael was just someone familiar who was present in her life when she was down at the wrong time.Nayla got up carefully so as not to wake Zavier, but Zavier's hand immediately stopped her."I haven't done my morning exercise yet, hmmm ... this is the soundest sleep I've ever had," said Zavier while holding Nayla's small body in his embrace."Zav, you have to go back to Jakarta immediately." "Don't forget, you're getting married today," Nayla urged, trying to bring Zavier back to his senses as he started to get a little too adventurous on top of her.Zav ..."I want you, Nay." "Stay my wife," ZavierZavier's words echoed in Nayla's head, shocking her. She could only nod slowly, not knowing what to say.Zavier turned back and walked away, leaving Nayla with mixed feelings and an increasingly heavy heart. Nayla closed the door with mixed feelings, the warmth and touch of the man who had become her husband still fresh in her mind, yet the situation felt so cold and biting throughout her thoughts.Nayla decided to stop by the hospital before going to Jakarta to attend Zavier and Sefia's wedding, which of course would leave a deep wound in her heart.She needs strength to attend two invitations from two men who once passed through her days. Zavier's wedding and Michael's wedding.Back at the hospital, Nayla sat beside Nadira's bed, feeling relieved and devastated at the same time. The meeting with Zavier reminded her of the love they had, but also of the bitter reality they had to accept.Nadira woke up and saw Nayla's face, whi
Meanwhile, inside Liza's family home, a serious conversation is taking place. Liza's father firmly stated his position."I will not let my child marry a man with a criminal record." Liza's father slammed the table in front of him. Her mind was racing after hearing about the case involving Michael.Mrs. Liza tried to defend Michael while Liza sat dejectedly on the sofa, "but Michael is not a bad person." This is just an unexpected situation."Seeing that Liza was almost in tears, her mother immediately told her to go outside. "You go take a rest first, I will talk about this with your father, dear."Liza obediently said goodbye and walked towards her room, while Liza's mother pulled her husband to discuss in their room."Doesn't matter." The honor of our family is at stake. "This marriage is off." Liza's father clenched his jaw in anger. Her voice echoed in the room.Liza, who overheard the conversation from the next r
"I will try, Nayla." I want you to know that no matter what happens, I will always cherish everything we have been through. You still have me, Nayla. We will not get divorced."Nayla felt a bit annoyed, but she didn't want to discuss the same topic any further.They both stood in silence for a moment before Nayla finally nodded slowly."I just hope you all are happy, Zav." I hope this is a new beginning for all of us.Back in detention, Michael sat lost in thought, contemplating a future that now felt uncertain. But there is one thing he knows for sure: he will not give up. He will fight for Nayla, for his family, and for himself.Michael firmly told himself, "I have to be strong." I have to get out of here and fix everything. Nayla, I promise I will come back to you. I ... I cannot go through with the marriage to Liza even though she is very good and perfect.With unwavering determination, Michael gazed out the small
The two women stared at each other, feeling the tension hanging in the air. Finally, they nodded reluctantly, indicating that they agreed to refrain from further conflict.After ensuring that the situation had been resolved, Zavier returned to the party to continue the celebration. However, behind his calm smile, he still felt worried about the tension between Nayla and Sefia.Zavier approached his colleague while thinking to himself, "I hope tonight doesn't turn bitter because of the conflict between them." I just want everyone to be happy."Zav, how about I sing for you?" Nayla suddenly asked."Hmmm, that's a good idea." Zavier immediately escorted Nayla to the stage with a warm and proud smile.Nayla stood on stage, microphone in hand, ready to sing her last song of the night.He looked around with deep emotion, realizing that this song was the best way for him to express what was in his heart.Nayla too
"Nayla ... she pushed me!" She is trying to hurt me! I can't believe she did this to me!Nayla was astonished, unable to believe what was happening. Before she could gather her words to defend herself, Zavier quickly approached her."Nayla, why?" Zavier shot a sharp glance at Nayla, "Ah, never mind ... I will take care of Sefia first.""But, Zav, ... I didn't do anything."Zavier looked at Nayla with deep disappointment before picking Sefia up from the floor and taking her away from the party.Some guests who are relatives of Zavier and Sefia cast disapproving glances at Nayla.Xander wanted to defend his daughter-in-law, but Kayla quickly pulled him away and said, "We need to check on Sefia, come on!" Don't pay any attention to that cunning woman!"You go accompany Zavier and make the right decision for my grandson, I'll take care of everything here," said Kayla.Hearing the word 'grandchild' ma
After some unpleasant words from his father, Zavier decided not to respond too much.With a sour face, Zavier returned to the hotel where the wedding reception was taking place. He searched for Nayla among the remaining guests, but he couldn't find her. Anxiety took over his heart.Zavier muttered to himself and began to look panicked, "where is Nayla?" I have to find her."Zavier immediately called Nayla's phone, but it was inactive. Finally, he decided to seek information from the hotel staff and also the security officer.After knowing that Nayla was staying at the same hotel, Zavier quickly walked towards the designated hotel room.In the hotel room, Nayla sat on the edge of the bed, her eyes red and swollen from crying. Thoughts about what happened last night still haunt her mind. All the insults, slander, and shame still feel so real.As she tried to calm herself, the door to her hotel room was knocked on. Nayla
Michael cried out and screamed in his troubled heart, "I have to fix everything." I can't let the people I love suffer because of my mistake.Michael borrowed the prison officer's phone and sent a message to Nayla.[Nayla, I need to talk to you. Can we meet? I need to explain everything.Nayla received the message and felt a mix of emotions. She knew that this meeting was important, but she also realized that it could be a very difficult moment.Alright, Michael. But how can we meet?A moment later, a message came in and Nayla immediately read it.My father has already paid a substantial bail, I will be released tomorrow but with the case still under investigation. My status is that of an out-of-custody detainee, and I will be undergoing a trial soon. Are you willing to meet with me?Nayla was somewhat surprised by Michael's status as a parolee, but she felt that everything that happened to Michael could not be separated from his mistakes.Alright, tomorrow morning I will leave for Bo
Kayla folded her arms under her chest and raised the corners of her lips, then said, "this issue?" This issue is about how Nayla is trying to ruin your marriage and destroy Sefia's life!Nayla tried to stay calm, but Kayla's cold stare made her feel uncomfortable.Nayla tried to say a few words to calm the atmosphere. "We don't want any more trouble, Kayla." Please, let us through."Kayla stepped forward, glaring at Nayla. Zavier immediately blocked the stepmother's gaze with his body, completely shielding Nayla behind his large frame. For a moment, Nayla felt comfortable and relieved by what Zavier had done for her.Kayla burst out laughing at what Zavier was doing, "do you think you can just get away with it?" After everything that happened? You are the cause of all this chaos!Without warning, Kayla grabbed the bag she was carrying and threw it towards Nayla, sneering with a face full of triumph."That's for you, whore!" "You deserve it," Kayla shouted with an unhappy face.Nayla w
***Happy ending***Zavier smiled coldly, his gaze calculating. “They conspired,” he replied in a low but firm tone. “They stole Nayla's identity and made my wife suffer through memory loss. They played with her life, erasing the precious memories we once had. If they think they can get away with it, they're sadly mistaken.”His assistant remained calm on the other end of the line, waiting for further instructions. “What is your plan, sir?”Zavier stared far ahead, his eyes filled with determination. “Reclaim her face,” he said meaningfully, ”and let the fake forget her memory. Make her feel what Nayla experienced. If they dare to take my wife's life, then I will take back what they stole. The face they created, the memories they formed... let it all crumble and perish.”His assistant nodded on the other end of the line, understanding what Zavier meant. “Yes, sir. I will arrange everything.
Sefia gasped and turned her head quickly, her eyes showing obvious shock. “Oh, Zavier... I just... had some sudden business,” she stammered. “You don't need to worry. It's just a short meeting.”However, Zavier did not simply believe her. There was something in the woman's demeanor that made him suspicious, and his desire to find out more surfaced strongly.Without saying anything else, he let Sefia go first, but not long after, Zavier got into his car and started following behind.Zavier kept his distance, making sure that Sefia did not notice his presence. He drove slowly, following Sefia's car carefully. Every turn the woman took further emphasized Zavier's suspicions. “What is she really hiding?” he muttered to himself.“She doesn't look like the Nayla that belongs to me, her eyes, her voice are different, and her height. Why did I never realize that?&rdq
“Sara, a-I'll give you an extra fee... for... for what happened last night.”Hearing that, Sara's eyes rounded and a pile of tears began to gather rapidly.Those words pierced Sara's heart. It was as if everything that happened between them was just a transaction, not something that had meaning.Her face that had been full of love turned into unbearable anger. “Pay?” she snarled in a sharp voice, her eyes looking at Bram with disappointment.“So, you think I'm just a servant who can be bought? What happened last night is just something you can pay me to erase?”Bram was silent, not expecting Sara's reaction to be that harsh. He opened his mouth, trying to find words to defuse the situation, but Sara continued before he could speak.“I'm not something you can bargain with, honorable Mr. Bram! Whatever happened last nig
His ears seemed to be deaf to the words Sara threw out. To him, in that drunken state, Sara was Nayla coming back to him, and this was a chance to embrace the woman he had been longing for.“Don't leave again, Nayla... please...” she whispered desperately, holding Sara's body on the bed. Tearing off the clothes she was wearing and starting to nuzzle Sara's slender neck.Sara tried to push Bram away, trying to snap him out of his drunken stupor. “Mr. Bram, this is not Nayla! You're drunk! Let go of me!” she said in a loud and trembling voice. However, her efforts were not strong enough to sober Bram up.Feelings of fear and confusion mixed in Sara's mind. She knew that this man was obsessed with Nayla, but she never expected to be in this situation.In a last ditch effort, she gathered all the strength she had and managed to break free from Bram's grip, roll off the bed, and escape out of the room as quickly as possible, leaving Bra
Nadia's face-or Nayla, as it often crossed his mind-was so similar to the one he remembered as the wife he loved. Not just in terms of physical appearance, but also in the way she spoke, her gentle smile, and the way she looked at Zavier as if recognizing the deepest part of his soul. Every glance, every body movement, felt like an inexplicable déjà vu.Her lips and her kiss.However, the woman now in his home-who he had always believed to be Nayla-felt different.It was as if something was missing, something unseen but felt. Her gaze was empty and distant, her touch no longer providing the warmth they once shared.“Have I been blinded by my desperation to get my wife back? Is that woman really Nayla?” Zavier thought.Zavier clasped his head with both hands, trying to calm the turmoil of his feelings. If this Nadia was the real Nayla, then who was the wo
Zavier immediately turned to Nayla, who was now sitting upright on the sofa with her hair tousled and her eyes half open. He knew that the situation could get ugly if he didn't get things under control soon.“Nayla, calm down,” he said in a soothing tone on his cell phone. “I'm helping someone who needs help. There's nothing for you to worry about.”However, those words were not enough to calm Sefia down. “Helping someone? In the middle of the night like this? And that woman's voice, why is she with you?” Sefia was getting more and more agitated, her voice portraying a burning anger and jealousy.Zavier let out a long breath, realizing that a simple explanation would not be enough to ease the anger of the woman who claimed to be his wife.“Nadia is facing a complicated situation, and I can't just leave her. Believe me, I didn't do anything wrong,” she r
Zavier looked at her deeply, as if trying to find the answer behind Nadia's eyes. “Maybe there's something in you that's more than just a similar face to Nayla. Maybe, somehow, we once had more of a connection than we realized.”“Or... are you the real Nayla?” asked Zavier, but the question was more to himself as Nadia just looked at him with a sad face.They sat in silence for a while, enjoying the warmth that still remained from that moment. Although there was a lot of confusion and questions still hanging in the air, both of them felt a strange but real bond, as if fate had brought them back together after a long time apart.The rain began to fall heavily outside, droplets soaking the windows and a soft, soothing rhythm could be heard.Zavier looked out for a moment before turning back to Nayla. Without saying much, he led her to the living room. They walked slowly, feeling the silence filled only by the sound of the rain drippi
Zavier took another step towards Nayla and said, “You rest inside and I'll take Joen home first. After that, I'll come and bring some food for you, okay?”Nayla nodded obediently and gave a warm smile and waved goodbye to Joen.They got back into the car, and Zavier drove Joen home.Along the way, his mind was spinning, thinking of the steps to take. Who exactly was the woman he brought to the empty house? Was she really the real Nayla, or just the result of Bram's crazy obsession with creating a clone?The questions kept swirling in his mind, and Zavier knew that the answers he would find might change everything.After ensuring Joen's safe return, Zavier quickly returned to the empty house. He had to talk to the woman, find out who she really was, and what was really going on. In his heart, Zavier hoped that the truth, no matter how hard it was, would come out so that everyone involved could find the peace that had been taken from thei
Having run out of steam to vent his anger, Bram shuffled towards his room. The door slammed loudly behind him, signaling that he didn't want to be disturbed.Sara stood at the door, while several servants began to organize to clean up the broken glass scattered in the living room.Moments later, there was the sound of a bottle being opened and the smell of alcohol spreading from behind the door. Bram took a rough swig of liquor, trying to shake off the deep frustration and emptiness.He felt like he had done everything-transforming Sefia into Nayla's likeness, and thinking he could slowly possess Nayla-but in reality, the real Nayla still eluded him.In that dark room, Bram felt completely defeated. No matter how much he tried to control the situation, reality always made him feel like he was chasing a shadow that he could never reach.The man occasionally shouted, startling Sara. However, the woman remained faithful and behind the door of the room
