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

  • Unrequited Love: I want a divorce from you!   Chapter 145. Why is he looking for Smith?

    A moment later, his assistant, Bram, stepped forward with a tense expression. Cahyo is someone whom Zavier can always rely on, and his presence in critical moments always brings hope. Currently, he is carrying two packs of food that he wants to serve as breakfast for Zavier."Mr. Zavier, I found something," said Cahyo while handing over a small note. "Nayla has returned to Bogor."Zavier felt his blood boil. "Why did he return to Bogor?" "What happened?" she asked with a trembling voice. Bogor is a place full of memories for them, but also annoying for Zavier because he doesn't want Nayla to be there."I don't know for sure, sir, but I heard something happened to Michael." His marriage is on the brink of collapse due to a breach of contract case. "I'm worried Nayla will seek out Michael out of frustration," explained Cahyo, trying to clarify the increasingly complicated situation.Zavier felt like he had been hit by a hammer. Jealousy immediately enveloped him. He couldn't just let Na

    Cahyo was unable to provide an answer because he truly didn't know. Zavier's suspicion sounded complete and complicated for him to analyze."Speed up this car!" Zavier ordered, starting to panic.The driver nodded and immediately increased the speed of the car. He directed the car towards the hotel mentioned by Cahyo. The speed of the car increased, cutting through the streets that were starting to fill with other vehicles as the rain began to subside. Cahyo's heart was also racing, hoping they wouldn't be late.After several exhausting hours, they finally arrived in Bogor. The city still looked the same as Zavier remembered, with tree-lined streets and air that was fresher compared to Jakarta. However, there was no time for nostalgia. He immediately headed to the hotel where Nayla might be trapped, hoping he could find her before something bad happened.When they arrived at the hotel, Zavier's drive

    Nayla looked at him with hatred. "What do you want, Smith?"Mr. Smith just chuckled softly. "You know what I want." You. And I will get you, no matter what it takes.Nayla felt both angry and scared at the same time. She knew that Smith wouldn't stop until he got what he wanted. "You will never get me, Smith," Nayla said firmly.Smith approached and sat at the edge of the bed. "We'll see later," he said while stroking Nayla's hair. "I have all the time in the world."Nayla tried to fight back, but her body was still too weak. She could only stare at Smith with hatred, hoping for a miracle that could save her.Meanwhile, Zavier continues to search for clues at the hotel.

We will get through this together," he replied with full confidence.Nayla smiled, feeling a little stronger with Zavier's presence by her side. "Zavier, take me away from here."

    Zavier sighed, then looked at Nayla seriously. “I just don't want anyone else to take my place in your heart, even if it's just as a friend or a doctor.”Nayla took Zavier's hand, holding it tightly. “No one can take your place. You're the only one, darling.”Zavier grabbed Nayla's cheek and gave her a warm kiss. They both smiled, realizing the love with a strong bond between them.Moments later, they stepped out of the hospital with hopeful hearts, ready to face the next days together, though the shadow of jealousy still lingered in Zavier's mind.In the black luxury car that drove quietly, Zavier sat next to Nayla, holding his wife's frail hand with great care.Mando, their trusted bodyguard, focused on driving the car through the crowded streets. Just a few meters away from the hospital, Zavier breathed a sigh of relief, feeling a little comfortable that he could bring Nayla home.However, the next second, a loud r

    “Hmm, of course. I need to get well so I can take care of my Nayla again.” Zavier deliberately emphasized the suffix -ku because he wanted to know that Nayla was absolutely his.Doctor Bram only smiled slightly in response to all of Zavier's words. He was more focused on how to make the tense man's body limber.“Let's rest for a while. I'll be back with a cup of coffee for you,” said Doctor Bram.A moment later, Doctor Bram arrived with two cups of coffee and some dry bread.They sat on the side while enjoying their drinks.However, when they took a short break, Bram unknowingly uttered a sentence that made the atmosphere even more tense. “Nayla really is a strong and amazing woman,” he said with a faint smile. “And of course, she's very beautiful.”Zavier's eyes immediately lit up with anger. That simple sentence, though probably not ill-intentioned, touched a sensitive spot in him. “Wha

    Kayla snorted, sounding unimpressed. “Angry or not, this is no time to act recklessly. Remember, Sefia, you need me to accomplish your goals. Don't make me lose my temper.”Sefia nodded, even though she knew Kayla couldn't see her. “I'll be more careful,” she said in a resigned tone.“Good,” Kayla replied, then hung up without waiting for further answers.Sefia sat on the edge of the bed, feeling frustrated and confused. She knew she had gone too far into this dangerous game, but she also realized that she had no choice but to follow Kayla - for now.However, in her heart, Sefia began to feel a subtle fear. What if Kayla decided to betray her?***The next day, Zavier arrived at the therapy room with mixed feelings. He knew that this therapy session was very important for him to recover and regain the ability to walk normally. However, when the therapy room door opened, Zavier was stunned to see who was st

    Zavier did not answer. He only grasped Nayla's hand tighter, as if to emphasize that Nayla belonged to him. However, in his heart, he knew that this was more than just jealousy. It was a fear that kept haunting him - the fear that he might no longer be able to protect the woman he loved.Nayla felt the tension building up in the room. Her eyes moved from Zavier who looked angry and jealous in his wheelchair, to Doctor Bram who stood in a calm but firm manner. She knew that this situation could get worse if left unchecked.Gently, Nayla took Zavier's cold and trembling hand. “Zavier, please... calm down,” she said, her voice soft yet compassionate. “Bram was just trying to help me. Nothing else.”Zavier turned to her, still with a suspicious look in his eyes. “I know, Nayla... But I don't like seeing you in his arms,” he replied in a low yet sharp tone, his voice almost breaking with feelings of jealousy and helplessness.

    Nayla, who was resting, was surprised by Sefia's sudden presence. Before she could say anything, Sefia had already approached quickly and then reached out and grabbed Nayla's hair roughly. “You think you can take everything from me, Nayla?” Sefia shouted, her face bright red, full of anger.Nayla was shocked and in pain, losing her balance and falling off the bed. She winced, trying to protect her head from Sefia's hard grip. “Let go, Sefia!” Nayla shouted, trying to fight back despite her weak body.At that moment, Doctor Bram happened to be walking towards Nayla's room to visit. Hearing the noise from inside, he immediately opened the door and saw the chaotic situation.“Hey! What are you guys doing? Stop this now!” exclaimed Doctor Bram in a stern voice.He quickly stepped in and pulled Sefia away from Nayla. “That's enough, Sefia! This is a hospital, not a place for fighting!” he said while trying to cal

    Sefia took out her cell phone and called Kayla. Telling her everything that happened with some spice of course.“So you're going to help me again?” Sefia asked at the end of their conversation.“Of course, you wait and see. No need to respond to anything while it's happening. Focus and go see how Zavier is doing and give him your attention.”Kayla spoke firmly and as if victory was already there.“Doctor Bram, right? It's easy business then.” Kayla's words sounded clear and firm, making Sefia start to feel relieved and supported.The call was completed and Sefia smiled with satisfaction. She could already be relieved to fall asleep.Meanwhile, Zavier heard the shocking news about Nayla. Without waiting any longer, he immediately rushed to the patient room, where Nayla was being treated.Arriving there, Zavier in his wheelchair saw Nayla lying on the bed with a pale face and tired eyes. A bandage was

    When a doctor came out of the treatment room, Bram immediately approached. “How is he, Doc?” he asked in a hoarse voice.The doctor sighed, looking at Bram with a serious expression. Of course he knew Doctor Bram well.“Nayla has second degree burns on several parts of her body. Although the wounds are not too severe, we still have to do intensive care to prevent infection and aid her recovery.”Bram nodded, trying to compose himself.“His face is unharmed, just a little on his calves and back,” the doctor continued.“I want to make sure she gets the best care,” he said in a firm tone. “Whatever is needed, I will provide it.”The doctor nodded and patted Bram's shoulder sympathetically before heading back inside the treatment room.Bram shifted his gaze to the other room at the end of the corridor, where Sefia was being treated. The wound on Sefia's face looked quite severe,

    Sefia laughed in a low, triumphant tone and threw a match onto a pile of straw that had been set up not far from where Nayla and Joen lay.As the flames began to lick at the weathered walls of the hut. Thick smoke soon filled the air, covering their vision with a suffocating blanket of darkness.Bayu was startled and immediately returned to the hut. Bayu struggled against panic, his body tense as he tried to drag Joen and Nayla away from the fire, out of harm's way.“You're crazy, Sefia!” shouted Bayu again, his voice hoarse from the smoke and mounting anger. A semi-conscious Joen coughed, trying to understand what was happening.Sefia just looked at Bayu with a cold stare. “I did what had to be done,” she said firmly. “We can't keep waiting, Bayu. It's the only way to make sure they won't hunt us down.”Bayu gritted his teeth, resisting the urge to retaliate against Sefia with just as much anger. “This isn

    “When can I see Joen?” he asked in a voice trembling violently, with a tone full of hope and curiosity.Sefia laughed softly. “You'll get the hint soon enough. But for now, let's make sure everything stays under control. I'll tell you the next step,” she said while looking at the recording. Checking that there weren't any mistakes.Nayla stood anxiously and frustrated, hoping and praying that Joen would return to her soon without having to go through more dangerous games from Sefia.Sefia, still with a sly smile on her face, took out a water bottle from her bag. “Now, Nayla, drink this,” she said as she held out the bottle.“Obey, and I will take you to see Joen.”Nayla looked doubtfully at the bottle. “What did you put in this water?” she asked, her voice trembling with fear.Sefia just laughed lightly. “Oh, nothing dangerous.
