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. He spoke with several staff members, but none provided any useful information. Her heart grew more anxious, but she would not give up.Then, a little girl approached him with a basket of flowe
Zavier nodded, feeling a deep love for the woman in front of him. "I want the same thing too, Nayla." I want us to go back to how we used to be, even better. 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." I want to feel safe with you," she said in a still weak voice.Zavier nodded and carefully laid Nayla down on the bed. They had arrived at the room that Zavier had booked.The servant immediately bowed and walked away, leaving the person behind."Now go to sleep." We will leave here tomorrow morning, Nayla. "I will take you to a safe place," he promised while gently wrapping Nayla's body.Nayla looked at Zavier with eyes full of love. "Zavier, please don't go." "Stay here with me," she pleaded in a voice that was almost a whisper.
Nayla nodded and let herself sink into Zavier's embrace. They both lay on the bed, feeling the warmth and peace that had long been lost.As they hugged, Nayla felt an incredible sense of security. She knew that Zavier truly loved her and would do anything to protect her. "I feel lucky to have you, Zavier," she whispered softly.Zavier smiled and kissed Nayla's forehead once again. "And I feel very lucky to have you, Nayla." You are everything to me," he replied lovingly.They both fell asleep again in each other's embrace, enjoying a moment of intimacy filled with love and peace. As the sun rose higher in the sky, they knew that their journey was still long and full of challenges, but with their strong love, they were confident they could overcome everything together.Nayla felt Zavier's love so deeply, and she knew that no matter what happened, they would always have each other. That morning, they b
Nayla looked at Zavier with eyes full of love. "And I want to bear a child for you, Zav ... I want to be by your side, living each day with love and happiness." Being with you is my greatest dream," she replied with an emotional voice.They both lay down together again, enjoying the warmth of love flowing between them. The future may be full of uncertainty, but one thing is certain: their love will always be the guiding force for them.***In a filthy and forgotten corner of the city, a stray dog barks while rummaging through a towering pile of garbage. The foul smell stings the nose, and flies buzz around it.Amidst the disgusting pile of trash, the body of a man, barely recognizable, lay sprawled. His clothes were tattered, his face was full of wounds, and his body was dirty and bruised. The man is 'Smith'.Smith slowly opened his eyes, feeling an excruciating pain all over his body. His head throbbed pai
Chapter 151. The Agreement with MichaelTime passed slowly, and although Smith did not get a clear answer, he felt a little more at peace. The police officer approached him again and handed him a bowl of warm soup. "Eat." "You need to replenish your energy," said the officer gently.Smith received the bowl with gratitude. "Thank you," he said with a stronger voice. He knew that the journey to discover who he was and what had happened was still long, but he would not give up. The names continued to echo in his head, becoming the only clue in the labyrinth of his confusion."This is a set of clothes for you, you can clean yourself in the bathroom and come back refreshed." "You look a bit dirty and here is some wound ointment, you can apply it to your bruised body," said the officer while handing over a set of uniforms usually worn by cleaning staff.Smith received the medicine and the clothes; he could guess that they were clothes for a street sweeper, even though the clothes didn't loo
They signed the document, sealing the deal that would change Michael's life forever. Cahyo then contacted the legal team to arrange the bail payment, ensuring everything went according to plan.Meanwhile, inside the hotel, Zavier had just finished pampering Nayla with a bath together. Zavier carried his wife's body and laid her on the bed with great tenderness."Take a short nap, I'll call you when it's time to eat," said Zavier, then gave Nayla a kiss on the forehead, who looked tired after serving Zavier repeatedly.Suddenly, Zavier's phone rang. He looked at the screen and immediately answered the call from Cahyo. "Yes, Cahyo." How did it turn out?" he asked.Mr. Zavier, everything is settled. The bail has been paid, and Michael's family has agreed to take him abroad. He will not bother Mrs. Nayla anymore," reported Cahyo.A faint smile appeared on Zavier's face as he watched
Zavier felt his heart racing. He immediately ran towards the ICU room, with Nayla following behind him. Outside the ICU room, Zavier saw his stepmother, Kayla, sitting casually playing with her phone as if nothing had happened."What happened?" Zavier's voice startled Kayla, who immediately put her phone into the tote bag she was carrying."Zavier, Nayla," called Kayla hoarsely as she saw them coming. "Your father... he is very weak."Zavier avoided Kayla when she was trying to hug him as if she wanted to give him strength.Seeing such a clumsy attitude, Nayla immediately said, "he will be fine, Kayla." "Dad is a fighter," she said, even though her own heart was filled with anxiety.Nayla approached Kayla and tried to hold her hand. "We're here now, we'll get through this together," she said with a voice full of sincerity.As expected, Kayla immediately brush
Sefia held her stomach and wondered, “yeah, what's wrong?”“Aahhh, it's bad. Hurry up and call the medical team!” the head chef ordered the small waitress who had witnessed the commotion.Just as the waitress picked up her cell phone, Sefia was already holding her burning stomach.“W-what did you put in our food?” she asked in a trembling voice, followed by Kayla and Magareta holding her stomach a moment later.“Aaahhh, this hurts. Y-you poisoned us, Nayla!” exclaimed Kayla while pointing her index finger which was shaking from the burning sensation in her stomach.Nayla looked at them strangely and didn't understand. While the head chef immediately exclaimed, “it's not her. Our mistress is innocent. I'm the one who put the gluten with the excessive amount of milk for your stomachs, you'll only have diarrhea, no big deal... ex
After a few minutes, Nayla returned to the table with their orders. She placed the plates and glasses carefully, trying not to show how hurt she was by Kayla and Sefia's treatment.Kayla and Sefia exchanged glances, trying to find fault in the food that had been served.“Crazy, this is good,” Magareta exclaimed suddenly. She didn't know Nayla at all and exclaimed only after enjoying the food that was still warm on the tongue and tasted just right.Hearing the compliment, Kayla gave Nayla a condescending look and immediately tried the food that had been served. The two sly women were at a loss for words as their tongues tasted the food and found it to be just right.Unwilling to acknowledge the flavor on her tongue, Sefia said in a flat voice, “make sure our drinks come quickly, and don't make us wait too long.”Nayla nodded and went back to the kitchen to
The charity event ended successfully, and Sefia went home feeling much better. Although Zavier was silent and his gaze remained cold, she didn't care. She knew that there were still many challenges ahead, but she was ready to face them all for the sake of her baby.The following days, Zavier didn't visit Nayla at all, he let her decide. Giving her the happiness she wanted.Zavier got busy again with his work as an escape from his life and the complexities of his personal relationships.But Nayla, on the other hand, is still unable to detach herself from the two devious women who hate her, Kayla and Nayla.This week, the two women managed to get a two-hour shopping spree together after Sefia's multiple snatches. Zavier melts after witnessing the intimacy the two women share during a charity event yesterday.Initially, they went to see Magareta to find out the progress of the
The next day, Sefia, accompanied by two of Zavier's loyal bodyguards, set out for the luxury stores in the city center. Although she didn't get the chance to speak to Kayla directly, she tried to find other ways to reach her. At one of the elegant baby shops, he met a friendly older woman who seemed to know everyone.“Good morning, miss. How can I help you?” the old woman asked with a warm smile.Sefia jumped at the chance. “I'm looking for some items for my soon-to-be baby. Can you help me choose?”“Of course, with pleasure,” replied the old lady as she led Sefia to the baby clothes section.While choosing cute baby clothes, Sefia began to talk more with the old lady, introducing herself and telling her a bit about her life.“I live in a big house in the suburbs. My husband is very busy and travels a lot. I feel lonely, and I would like
Nayla just smiled, hearing Mr. Gibril's words that were linked to an age difference of ten years above her. She thought of the stocky man more as an older brother to her.But everything that happened in the room was witnessed by Zavier who was standing behind a large tree, watching Nayla from a distance. He felt pain in his heart seeing the woman who still occupied his mind in this position.Zavier's blood boiled again when he saw Gibril placing his hand on her stomach without being able to hear what they were talking about.He wanted to go over and teach the stocky man a lesson and then hug Nayla and show her that she was his, but he knew that would not be a wise decision.While Zavier was busy observing, a passing neighbor greeted him. “Are you looking for someone?” the neighbor asked kindly.Zavier was surprised for a moment, but then smiled faintly. “Ah, no. I'm just taking a walk,” he replied, trying to maintain anonymi
As the song ended, Nayla smiled as she received loud applause and praise from the audience who had been hypnotized by the song. Unintentionally, Nayla looked over to where Zavier was sitting, although she couldn't see him clearly.There was a glint in Nayla's eyes, as if she could feel tears running down the familiar-looking face of the man in the hat.“Z-Zavier?” asked Nayla inwardly with doubt.Zavier stood up with a heavy heart, wiped his tears, and decided to leave. He knew that his presence was probably bringing more pain than good right now. However, he also knew that he could not avoid reality forever. He had to find answers to all her questions and try to repair their relationship.With tears still running down his cheeks, Zavier walked out of the café, determined to pull himself together and think about how he could fix it. He felt a deep love and longing that couldn't be ignored, and he knew that he had to do something to put
Selective amnesia made him feel miserable. Zavier tried to remember their past, but his memories were hazy. He felt like something important was missing from his memory. Why was he so angry with Nayla? Was it because she cheated on him? The thought made his heart break even more, but he couldn't remember anything clearly. Everything felt like a vague and elusive image.Even if Nayla had cheated on him, he felt strongly that he wanted to forgive her and take her back as his wife.Zavier watched as Nayla cleared the table. Her every movement reminded him vaguely of the good times they had shared together. However, those images of happiness were always accompanied by unexplainable feelings of pain and sadness. He felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't figure it out.Nayla, although busy with her work, occasionally felt the presence of someone watching her. She felt that something was strange, but could not identify
“Aah, only two questions for today's interview session!” Nayla closed her lips and smiled widely.“Well, thank you for your time, Miss Almira. It's a pleasure to meet you in person today. I can personally see and believe that you must be very beautiful behind the mask that hides your identity.Nayla smiled and nodded her head, “thank you.”The interview session ended, but Zavier was still rooted to the spot in the luxurious-looking but deserted office.“You committed your heart to someone who left something precious behind for you. It was the baby in your womb. That means the lucky guy is Michael,” Zavier said in a disappointed tone.One week later, Zavier decided to go and see how Nayla was doing secretly and in disguise. He wore simple clothes, a hat, and sunglasses to hide his identity. With a heart full of hope and anxiety, Zavier dro
Nayla walked away leaving them still confused and shocked at the answer given by the lady.After a few moments of silence, Cahyo and Mando were speechless. They left the cafe with languid steps. While in the car, Cahyo hit the steering wheel again angrily.“Tell me, Mando, what should we say to that grumpy young master?” Cahyo massaged his forehead.Mando replied, “Tell him the truth, Nayla doesn't want to meet him. The more you lie, the more complicated the story you have to produce on top of that lie will be. Let our young master learn to accept a reality.”Cahyo again massaged his forehead, on the other hand, he also agreed with Mando's words which did make sense.The next day, they went to Zavier and told him everything they had experienced. Zavier sat behind his desk, his face tense as he waited to hear from them.“How was it? Did you find him?” he asked in an expectant tone.Cahyo and Mando looked at each other, hesitating before Mando finally spoke up. “We found Madame Nayla, b
