"Give her a bath, put on the red dress that the previous girl used to wear, and prepare her for the event tonight."
"Uncle will pay a high price this time because she is very beautiful even though she is not a pure girl," the woman commanded the servant following her.
The maid nodded and began to approach Nayla to untie her.
Nayla felt confused, but she saw an opportunity when the servant woman began to untie the bindings on the chair. Without hesitation, she seized the moment. Quickly, she jumped from the chair, freed herself from the bindings, delivered a stiff kick to the servant, and ran towards the door.
"Hey, that's outrageous! Guards!" the woman shouted, starting to panic.
The woman shouted, trying to stop her, but Nayla was already too close to freedom.
With a swift movement, Nayla pushed the shorter woman aside and slipped out of the room, running as fast as she could away from the looming t
Meanwhile, Zavier just woke up and enjoyed the fried rice that he might have never appreciated before. With a message accompanied by a smiley emoji. Nayla indeed has a unique habit of leaving little notes.The smiley emoji formed a line of lips on Zavier's face. The man smiled slightly while enjoying the fried rice that tasted just right on his tongue.However, a ringtone interrupted the moment he was enjoying.Sefia's voice sounded sultry as Zavier pressed the button to connect the long-distance video call."Where are you, Darling?" Sefia asked suspiciously."Bogor," Zavier replied shortly and curtly while continuing to enjoy his fried rice."Whose house is that? Didn't you say you worked overtime last night to discuss the project?Zavier stopped his movement to spoon rice into his mouth and glared at Sefia, "Since when, do you care abou
"Hufft!" Nayla breathed a sigh of relief after their figures disappeared behind the black car they were in.Nayla then turned to the security officer and thanked him."Do they want to harm you, Ma'am?" the security officer asked a moment later.Nayla turned to the man, her eyes staring blankly for a moment as if processing the question, then quickly blinked repeatedly as if realizing something. "What time is it?" she asked in panic."At twelve o'clock," the security officer replied seriously, showing his watch."Oh no, I'm late for the interview," Nayla muttered, her panic increasing.She rummaged through her handbag, looking for her phone and then reading the incoming message."Sorry, I have to leave right now!" Nayla said while running out of the place, without giving any further explanation to the security officer.The officer could only watc
There is no doubt that Zavier is a true embodiment of extraordinary handsome man, even in the most vulnerable state. And even though he was bound by medical devices, his presence still exuded an unforgettable aura, marking the presence of a strong and charming man in every heartbeat.Nayla remained asleep on the bus, enjoying her dreamland as the bus passed stop after stop.On the other place, at Nayla small house, Zavier couldn't stop sneezing. The weather in the city of Bogor is colder than in Jakarta. After taking a shower this morning, the man started to feel flu symptoms that began to bother him. Every time he tried to focus on his work, sneezing kept bothering him.With a heavy heart, Zavier decided to work online from home. Although he had previously planned to go to Jakarta to take care of some matters and attend meetings. With his less-than-fit condition, he couldn't take the risk.His body felt tired and weak, but his
"Hey, beautiful lady! We have arrived at the final terminal! Are you planning to sleep here?" asked a middle-aged man in a driver's uniform while shaking Nayla's shoulder to wake her up.Nayla blinked her eyes repeatedly.Surprised that she had fallen asleep with the old memories she had experienced over the past two years. The bitterness she wanted to cast away ended up making her lost because the bus had already reached the final terminal."Oh no! I fell asleep!" Nayla exclaimed in panic.When she finally woke up, Nayla felt completely guilty. She looked at her watch and saw that her time was almost up for the important job interview."Excuse me, thank you, Sir!" Nayla exclaimed awkwardly.With her heart racing, she hurriedly got off the bus, trying to gather her thoughts and plan her next steps.Without hesitation, Nayla hurriedly searched for a taxi at the bus t
In the same building, an unintentional coincidence. Michael was busy discussing a project with his colleague. They were in an intense discussion when, inadvertently, his eyes caught sight of someone he recognized."Nayla?" Michael whispered softly, trying to get a closer look at the figure he saw. He was about to call her, but before he could act, Nayla had already stepped into the elevator with Ethan.A disappointment crossed Michael's face as the elevator doors closed in front of him. He felt like something was missing, the chance to greet and talk to Nayla.Michael's coworker noticed the change in his expression. "What's wrong?" he asked.Michael shook his head quickly. "It's nothing. I just thought I saw someone I knew."However, in his heart, Michael felt curious. He wondered why Nayla was in that building and who the man accompanying her was. An unspoken desire arose within
"How dare you! A small company like this is just trash in our eyes, a woman who is unwilling to sell her dignity!"Nayla stepped on David's foot, then grabbed and twisted the man's arm behind his back."Help!! Let go! Crazy woman!" David screamed with a high-pitched voice due to the pain."This hurts so much!""Help!" he screamed.Nayla laughed with satisfaction because it was the man's turn to scream loudly.At the same time, the security officer in the building entered the room due to reports of a commotion in the interview room.Some of the men looked confused because what they saw was David being beaten up badly by Nayla.Seeing several security officers whom he certainly knew and to protect his own name, David immediately slandered Nayla."She's a crazy woman, relying on her beauty to seduce me into giving her a job."David spoke while hiding behind one of the securit
How could it not be? The woman looked so stunning with her natural beauty.Nayla returned Michael's gaze, tilting her head slightly and then looking at herself."Is there something strange about me?""Um, the shirt too big for me?" Nayla asked with an innocent face and feeling awkward."Oh, no." Michael quickly turned his face, which had partially reddened."Crazy, she still looks as beautiful as before," Michael murmured to himself.Nayla followed the man's steps to the living room, intending to sit on the sofa. However, suddenly Michael turned around, and without realizing it, Nayla couldn't stop her steps in time, causing her body to collide with the man's broad chest."Uh, sorry!""Ouch," exclaimed Nayla.The woman was only as tall as Michael's shoulder, so her head hit hard and she almost toppled backward while trying to avoid him.Fortunately, Michael quickly grabbed her slim waist so that Nayla wouldn't fall."Uh ..."
Nayla took a deep breath, feeling tense as she faced Zavier."Is he Zavier?" Michael asked. Nayla's husband hadn't mentioned his name at all during their first meeting. Michael just found out that the handsome man was named Zavier.Nayla nodded with a sense of anxiety clearly visible on her face.Michael got out of the car and gave Nayla a small smile, signaling to her that everything would be alright. However, he was also somewhat hesitant to confront Zavier.Carefully, Nayla walked up to Zavier, trying to greet him with a calm voice. "Zavier. Why are you still here?""Zavier replied with a faint smile, "So, this is what you've been doing since you got here?""What have I done?" Nayla challenged back, her words sounding like an accusation of wrongdoing.Zavier had indeed looked angry since the moment he saw Nayla get out of the car, his expression unr
Hearing all the events before him, Xander clutched his chest, which was starting to ache.The man stared intently at Zavier, hoping the wise son would respond to what was his responsibility.Zavier, who was still trying to find the words to respond to Nayla's question, was silenced by Sefia's confession.His eyes shifted between Nayla and Sefia, trying to understand the implications of what Sefia had just revealed.He felt his heart pounding, like a heavy burden pushing him into a difficult decision. A part of him wanted to reject Sefia's confession, to affirm his love for Nayla. But the other part, the deepest one, felt confused and torn between two conflicting feelings.Meanwhile, Sefia still stood there with a face full of satisfaction. Smiling with triumph.She felt pleased to have positioned herself as the winner in this battle, revealing the truth that she believed would benefit herself. However, beh
They both walked towards the front door of the house with quick steps, but Zavier maintained his cold demeanor. His sharp gaze reflected his rising anger, and Sefia felt increasingly anxious seeing his facial expression. As soon as they arrived in front of the house door, Zavier knocked on the door hard, letting his anger explode in a way that was unusual for him.He felt he could no longer hold back all his emotions, and when the door opened, he was ready to face whatever awaited him inside the house.Zavier entered the house after Kayla opened the door for him, his steps hurried and his expression still filled with smoldering anger. His cold gaze reflected the tension within him, and his steps were firm as he approached Nayla.Nayla, standing in the middle of the living room with mixed feelings, looked at Zavier with a racing heart. When Zavier approached her, his hand grabbed hers tightly, making Nayla flinch."What do you mean?" Zavier asked in a sharp and demanding tone. His eye
Nayla and Xander entered the house, Kayla stayed beside them, watching their steps with a dark heart. She was sure that Nayla's arrival would definitely cause trouble for their family.Without hesitation, Kayla took her phone and immediately opened the reply message from Sefia. She knew she had to inform Sefia about what was happening inside the house."Hey, why aren't you replying?" Kayla typed many messages."The situation here is getting more complicated," Kayla wrote quickly."Nayla is here, and she wants to talk to Xander." We need to act quickly to prevent her from disrupting our plans.It didn't take long for Sefia to respond to Kayla's message. The numerous messages made her phone ring continuously.Sefia frowned as she read the messages."What should I do?" she wrote quickly, the worry clearly visible in her words.Kayla pondered for a moment before replying. "Come here with Zavier," she wrote.
With trembling steps, Nayla got off the bus and walked towards the gate of the Abraham family's house. She knocked on the iron gate hesitantly, her heart pounding in fear.No words could ease her pain, no answers could she find for why all this happened.With trembling steps, Nayla got off the bus and walked towards the gate of the Abraham family's house. She knocked on the iron gate hesitantly, her heart pounding in fear.A gatekeeper opened a small window and looked at Nayla, "Who are you and who are you looking for?"Nayla swallowed her bitter saliva, she was a Young Mistress who was never recognized by anyone in the Abraham family except her mother-in-law because Zavier had never taken her there at all.Nayla, cautiously, asked the doorman for permission to meet Xander. She spoke in a soft voice, hoping to convince the doorman to give her a chance."Excuse me, I am Nayla, the daughter-in-law of the Abr
Zavier was indeed unconsciously thinking about Nayla. But Zavier quickly brushed that thought out of his mind. He knew that comparing Sefia and Nayla was unfair, considering the two women had different characters and personalities.Nevertheless, it cannot be denied that Sefia's presence here, in these difficult times, provides him with a bit of relief.Zavier turned his gaze away from Sefia for a moment, letting his mind drift far back into the past. He remembered the sweet moments he shared with Nayla, even though sometimes they were just small moments that didn't feel special.He smiled slightly at the thought of Nayla entering the room with a disheveled face because she had just finished cleaning the house as he had instructed. Then when the woman was covered in soap suds from washing the car. Zavier did it on purpose.In his heart, Zavier hoped that he could find a balance between his professional responsibilities and personal
Zavier's assistant, who had previously been silently observing the situation, immediately obeyed Sefia's command with hurried steps. He immediately left the room to carry out the order, leaving Zavier and Sefia in tense silence.Meanwhile, Sefia continued to watch Zavier with deep attention. Although Zavier tried to deny it, Sefia could see through his facade. He knew that Zavier's health could not be ignored, especially during such a tense and intense meeting. "Please, don't let your ego get in the way of making the right decision," Sefia said in a soft yet firm voice."Your health is more important than this meeting."Zavier fell silent for a moment, swayed by Sefia's wise words. Although there was reluctance in his heart, he knew that Sefia was right.He must prioritize his health, especially in times when conditions are not good like this.With hesitant steps, Zavier finally nodded in agreement. "Alright," he finally said in a weak voice."I will follow your advice."When Zavier'
He tried to suppress the discomfort, but kept feeling that something was off. Still, Zavier closed his eyes tightly, focusing on his business affairs, while trying to push away thoughts about his deteriorating health.However, the longer the meetings went on, the harder it became for him to ignore the symptoms that troubled him. Every word spoken, every decision made, felt like it was hindered by his increasingly weakening condition.But Zavier persevered, determined to successfully complete the meeting despite facing this unexpected challenge. Seeing his master's face growing paler, Zavier's assistant finally mustered the courage to ask with a worried voice, "Excuse me, Mr. Zavier, are you feeling alright?""You look a bit pale." Zavier, who was busy reviewing several documents at the conference table, was slightly taken aback by the question. He looked at his assistant with a sharp gaze, trying to hide the discomfort that was worsening within him."It's okay," Zavier replied with a
Zavier's words left Nayla speechless in astonishment. Her heart raced, unable to believe what had just happened. She watched Zavier suddenly change, from a cold and distant man to a husband full of determination.With a heavy heart, Nayla nodded, trying to adjust to this unexpected situation. She felt a deep sense of relief at the realization that Zavier still chose to be by her side.Zavier opened the door and halted his steps without turning around, then spoke with a steady voice, "Michael?" He will be in trouble if he dares to approach you again!"Those words slipped from Zavier's lips with a sharp tone, making Nayla tremble even more.Bam!The door was slammed shut by Zavier.In the silence that enveloped the room, Nayla sat heavily on the bed, letting everything that had just happened sink into her turbulent mind.She didn't know what would happen next, but she promised herself to stay strong in the face of whatever was to come.When Nayla was trying to process everything that had
"But I never planned to spend a long time there.""Didn't I come back here even though there was a storm last night?"Zavier looked at Nayla with a sharp gaze and continued his sentence."They, the other friends, also came to visit Sefia. Then they opened a new bottle of wine to replace the one you broke."Zavier's breath was ragged as he held back his anger. "I drank because I felt I had to replace Sefia's precious moment. A moment that you ruined!""I represented you to apologize to her for your disgraceful behavior at her party!" Zavier continued."Nayla! You really can't appreciate what I've done, and instead, you plan to meet another man while I'm not home!"Nayla was frozen in her place. Zavier had never spoken this much before.She looked at Zavier with hope, wishing her husband could see her sincerity through her eyes filled with regret. However, Zavier remained silent, al
