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
"Nayla, I truly appreciate her sacrifice." But I know, an apology will never be enough to bring back what was lost."Uhuk uhuk ... " Xander Abraham's voice sounded faint, and occasionally he coughed while holding his chest, which felt painful."Nayla ...," he called her softly.Nayla felt the world around her starting to spin. Her body felt weak, and a mix of anger and disappointment swirled in her heart. She looked at Zavier, searching for an answer, but Zavier's expression showed indifference that made her even more hurt."Zavier, do you know about this?" he asked with a trembling voice, almost in disbelief.Zavier looked at Nayla coldly and then shook his head firmly. "No, I don't know." But I also don't care. This is a problem between my father and your father. I am not involved in their mistakes," he said firmly."I was also surprised, how could it be."
"Help!" Nayla panicked and immediately embraced the old man who looked helpless. Meanwhile, Kayla was busy recording all the events happening."Don't record yet, please call the doctor!" Nayla shouted in panic.Kayla pursed her lips and then stepped out of Xander's room slowly. Her steps were relaxed as if nothing significant had happened. The woman walked while looking at her beautifully and neatly painted nails.Meanwhile, inside the room, Nayla immediately pressed the emergency button.Not long after, in the luxurious hospital corridor, Kayla saw several medical staff walking quickly towards her.Kayla immediately stopped them by providing a report on Xander's condition, which was actually unnecessary. The woman's intention was to buy time; she didn't want Xander to survive this incident.The doctor treating Xander felt disturbed by Kayla's gestures that s
Everyone is moving towards their own future, even though it is filled with uncertainty and pain. They all know that life will never be the same again after all these revelations. But they also know that they have to keep moving forward, find ways to heal and continue living, even though the path is full of challenges.After everyone left the hospital, except for Kayla and Xander. No one knew what would happen to Xander, the old man who was burdened by feelings of guilt, and at that moment, there was no tribute for him, especially all the apologies.Xander cried and lay on the hospital bed with a gaze full of emptiness. Questioning why all of this is happening. However, the man was too old and his heart condition was really not good. His body was exhausted from crying and the unbearable burden of his soul, causing him to fall asleep with his cheeks still wet.Kayla stared at the man she had been with for the past ten year
Kayla just stared with tearful and vengeful eyes, as if waiting for the end of her struggle. She would not forgive Xander, not now. Her heart was dead to mercy."Now, you will feel what I feel," Kayla said in a barely audible voice, before turning and staring blankly out the window. Not wanting to see Xander's condition as he struggled with his remaining breath.Xander couldn't survive after his oxygen tube was removed by Kayla.His last breath came out in a tremor, his eyes gazing into the emptiness of the hospital room's ceiling. Kayla stood by the window with a satisfied smile on her lips, even though tears streamed down her cheeks as if watching a long-awaited performance end dramatically. Kayla clenched her fists tightly as if all her grudges had been released.However, as soon as Xander took his last breath, the happy expression on Kayla's face changed.She suddenly cried,
After finishing the video edits, Kayla closed her laptop and stared out the window, pondering her next move. She knew she had to act quickly before the police investigation uncovered evidence indicating irregularities in Xander's death. He must take the initiative and seize this opportunity before everything turns into a public spectacle.However, on the other hand, Nayla sat alone in her apartment, swallowing her tears over the loss of Xander. She didn't know about the existing recording, but she felt that something was off about the way Xander died.Nayla tries to rest because tomorrow is Xander's funeral and she has to be there.Once again, she tried to contact Zavier, but her call didn't go through.**Zavier woke up the next morning with a heavy and painful head. Last night, he was too drunk to clearly remember what happened.His phone ran out of battery. With his hea
Sefia leaned her lips closer to Nayla's ear and continued her sentence, "As one of the legitimate wives of the heir to the Abraham family, I am expelling you!"Nayla looked at Sefia with an expression that seemed hurt and shocked. It turned out that Sefia's position was clear, and she had already been expelled. "Sefia, I didn't mean to...""Of course, you didn't mean anything by it," Sefia cut in coldly. "But your actions have ruined everything."Sefia spoke with a sharp voice, her eyes radiating deep displeasure. "I know everything now." You can't hide what you did to my complaint.Nayla was astonished to hear Sefia's words. "Sefia, I don't know what you mean." I didn't do anything that could harm this family."Of course, you won't admit it," Sefia cut in coldly. "But I saw how Xander and you were arguing." You planned this, didn't you?"What do you mean?" N
That night, Kayla planned her next move. She prepared everything carefully. All of her family's jewelry was carefully prepared in Nayla's room. Slyly, Kayla ensured that no one knew about those precious jewels except for herself.Meanwhile, Nayla was busy attending to the guests who were starting to leave because the funeral event was over.The next morning, Kayla's house was shaken by shocking news. All the valuable jewelry is gone. Kayla screamed in panic, searching every corner of their house. But, of course, the jewelry wouldn't be found there.Kayla stepped closer to Nayla's room and rummaged through several drawers, then found a piece of Nayla's clothing that turned out to be wrapping her missing jewelry.A scenario that is common in family films but has only now been experienced by Nayla.Kayla calmly approached Nayla, who was currently filled with confusion and fear. "Nay
Cahyo stood in his office space, looking out the window blankly. He knew how difficult this task would be.Kayla was known as an intelligent and cautious woman; seducing her was no easy task. He tried to find the right person to carry out this mission, but every candidate he considered seemed unsuitable or not assertive enough.Hours passed, and Cahyo began to feel the pressure. Sefia's decision made him even more anxious. Finally, he realized that there was no one else he could rely on to carry out this task with the desired effectiveness. There was only one solution left-he had to do it himself.With burning determination, Cahyo decided to contact Kayla directly. He knew that this would be a huge challenge, but he had no other choice. Cahyo prepared himself carefully, arranging words and strategies to confront the Great Mistress Kayla. He felt his heart beat faster as he dialed Kayla's number on his cell phone.Meanwhile, Sefia, who was already satisfied with t
Sefia was surprised, her eyes widening slightly. “The city of Bandung? That's too much, Kayla. Zavier may be in a slump, but I'm not sure he'll give up so easily,” she replied, her voice containing doubt.Kayla leaned closer, giving Sefia a sharp look. “You have no other choice. You know what I can do if you try to cancel our deal,” she threatened in a low yet stressful voice.“Isn't the best time to snatch all this away when she's down like this?” Kayla continued with a triumphant smile.Sefia was silent, her face showing inner conflict. She knew Kayla was not someone who was easy to deal with, and her threat was not something to be taken lightly. She took a deep breath, then nodded slowly, resigned.“Alright. All of Zavier's assets in Bandung will be yours,” he said finally, in a tone of voice that sounded weak and defeated.Kayla smiled in satisfaction, feeling that her plan was working perfectly. 
Sefia approached further, her voice getting lower, yet sharper. “They planned their escape by way of this accident. They've already escaped together,” she said, her eyes looking deeply into Zavier's, as if trying to penetrate his inner defenses.Zavier felt the world around him shake. “That's not true! Nayla wouldn't leave me like that. She loves me!” he shouted, filled with anger and confusion.“Don't you mess with me. I know your tactics!” exclaimed Zavier with his eagle eyes, staring at Sefia fiercely as if he wanted to tear her apart right now.Sefia raised a hand, as if to calm Zavier down. “I know this is hard for you, Zavier. But I have proof,” she said as she pulled out a cell phone from her pocket and showed him a video recording.On the screen, Nayla was seen talking to someone in an obscure place. Her voice was clear: “I no longer love Zavier. All of this is just part of my responsibility. I
There was something so fragile and strong at once in her appearance, making him feel mesmerized. He swallowed a few times, trying to focus on his task, but his gaze still could not escape the beauty in front of him.“It's a shame,” he murmured softly, almost as if talking to himself, ”that such smooth and beautiful skin is disfigured by burns.”Bram was stunned for a moment after saying those words. His heart suddenly felt heavy, realizing how deeply attracted he was to Nayla. He had always admired her strength and gentleness, but seeing her in this state made his feelings even clearer. He felt drawn, captivated in a way he had never felt before.Nayla, semi-conscious, felt Bram's gentle touch on her skin. She shivered slightly, not from the cold, but from the realization of this unexpected closeness. She opened her eyes slightly, and saw Bram's thoughtful, almost affectionate expression.“Bram...,” she whispered weakly
“Take Nayla away from Zavier's life,” Sefia replied coldly. “If not, trust me, this is no longer a minor accident. I'll make sure the next game is much more gruesome. This is just a warning.”Bram took a deep breath. “You're crazy, Sefia. You... the culprit? Why are you doing this?”“Because I have to,” Sefia replied sharply. “You know what it's like to lose control, Bram. I just don't want that to happen to Zavier. Now, make a decision. Nayla doesn't have much time.”Bram knew he had no other choice. There was too much at stake. Without waiting any longer, he grabbed his jacket and ran out of his office. Something inside him broke as he thought of Nayla who was probably struggling between life and death.“Alright, Sefia,” he said with a heavy sigh, ”I'll take her away from Zavier. But if anything happens to him, I won't stand by.”The call was disconnected and Sefi
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.
