Chapter 164. Michael, you are great!
Zavier was a little confused to hear that Nayla was pregnant.
“I wonder what happened to her,” Zavier said in a hoarse voice. “Is she in danger?”
The doctor nodded in understanding. “We'll let you know as soon as we have more information. Right now, it's best that you rest for a while. You seem to need medical attention as well.”
Zavier shook his head, but then nodded in understanding. He knew he had to stay calm and strong for Nayla. “Please let me know if there is anything I can do to help her.”
The doctor smiled gently. “Sure, we'll let you know as soon as possible. Please wait here.”
Zavier sat in the hospital waiting room with a muddled mind. He tried to contemplate what had happened and what to do next. How could he justify his actions towards Nayla? How could he ensure h
Prang! The whiskey bottle was thrown to the other side of the sofa Zavier was sitting on.“Nayla! Don't think you can get away from me!” Zavier screeched in anger and unstable consciousness.The night was long and agonizing for him. He didn't even answer the calls from Sefia, his second wife who was worried about him. Zavier's heart felt empty and wounded. He felt like everything was crumbling around him, and he didn't know how he could fix it.As he sat in the dark room, his thoughts kept returning to Nayla. He thought of all the beautiful moments they shared together, and how everything changed so quickly. Guilt and regret haunted him. He wondered if he could fix everything, or if it was too late.The scent of Nayla's body always intoxicated him with uncontrollable desire or lust.Zavier closed his eyes, trying to ease his headache and emotional turmoil. He felt tra
Sefia shook her head. “No, Nayla. We're not going to do that. We just want to know how you're going to deal with it.”Nayla laughed bitterly. “How will I deal with it? That's none of your business. It's my life and my decision.”Kayla tried to grab Nayla's hand, but Nayla pulled it away quickly. “Don't touch me,” she said sharply.“We just want to help, Nayla,” Kayla said again, this time in a pleading tone.Sefia approached and continued her attack, “I'm pregnant too, but his father is a man I love very much, Zavier loves me and my baby very much. Uh, do you love Michael too?”Nayla narrowed her eyes, looking sarcastically at the two sly women who never had good intentions.“If you really want to help, leave me alone. I don't need your fake sympathy,” Nayla said in a voice that began to
Nayla felt pain at Zavier's words. “I'm sorry, Zavier. I'm really sorry... I don't know what else to say.”Zavier looked at her coldly. “Sorry? That's what you think can fix all this? Sorry won't change the fact that you betrayed our trust.”Nayla knew that Zavier was right. No amount of apologizing could repair the damage that had been done. She had to lie for the sake of the future of the child in her womb.“I, I'm sorry...”Zavier let out a long breath, trying to calm his emotions. “How, Nayla? How can you fix this? That child is the proof of your betrayal. How can I ever forgive you?”“Throw it away! I'll file for abortion!”Zavier's sudden words made Nayla feel her heart breaking. “No! I disagree!”Zavier looked at Nayla with a gaze full of hatred and disappointm
The next morning, Nayla woke up with renewed determination. She left the inn carefully, making sure no one was following her. She made her way to the local market that was beginning to bustle with morning activity. There, she bought some new clothes by selling her cell phone.Then she tried to look for information and opportunities that could help her in this escape. She knew that markets like this were often a meeting place for all sorts of people, including those who could provide items that couldn't be found elsewhere.After wandering around for a while, Nayla approached a friendly-looking merchant. “Excuse me, do you know where I can get a temporary job or perhaps someone who can help me get a new identity?” she asked cautiously.The merchant looked at Nayla for a moment before smiling slightly. “You seem to be in serious need of help. There is someone who might be able to help you, his name is Pak
In the dead of night, Zavier contacted several people who could help him. One of them was a private detective named Mando, who had worked for Zavier several times on important matters.“Mando, I need your help. My wife, Nayla has just escaped from the hospital where she was admitted. I need you to find her as soon as possible,” Zavier said in a stern tone.“Give me the details. I'll start searching immediately,” Mando replied without hesitation.After giving Mando all the necessary information, Zavier felt a little relieved. However, he knew that this was just the beginning of a long chase. He returned to his office at the hospital, sitting in a chair while looking out the dark window. His thoughts were racing, trying to understand Nayla's motives and plan his next move.Meanwhile, Nayla had reached the bus station located on the outskirts of the city. Eight hours from the cit
"Huek ... huek!"Suddenly there was a sound like someone vomiting in the bathroom. Nayla held the washcloth with her right hand and craned her head to see who had entered the bathroom in a hurry. However, she only saw the back and the beautiful long hair flowing out before the bathroom door closed.It was late and all the servants and chefs had gone home. Tonight was his job to clean the kitchen.“Who is it?” he asked suspiciously.Not long after, a beautiful woman came out of the bathroom and shot Nayla a glare. “What are you looking at?”“Who are you?” asked Nayla in confusion.The woman sighed softly, arranging her slightly messy hair. “I'm Dinda,” she replied simply. “You're new here, huh? Haven't seen you before.”Nayla nodded, still trying to understand the situation. &ldqu
Dinda nodded, “He is indeed a jerk, it's a pity that you even became his victim.”“Uh, who?” Nayla looked at Dinda with a puzzled look on her face.“Who else if not our boss, Eko. Watch out, I'm going to demand marriage in the near future. You'll be the third wife! You don't look bad,” Dinda continued with her breath hitching.“Is... the third wife? Uh, sis... this...”“Already, you just shut up. I'll take care of everything! Just accept this envelope first!” Dinda interrupted and stood up.“Keep this a secret!” she continued as she stepped out of the room.With mixed feelings, Nayla finally accepted the envelope although with a number of unanswered questions. “Okay, I'll keep this a secret. I hope everything goes well for you.”Dinda smiled weakly. “Thank you, Dek Mira. You have no idea how much this mea
Some of the servants were jealous that Nayla hadn't been fired. When Nayla returned to the kitchen, some of them gathered around and started whispering, their gazes full of dislike.“Hey, you're flirting with Mr. Boss, aren't you?” quipped one of the waitresses in a sharp tone.Nayla paused for a moment, trying not to be provoked. “I'm not seducing anyone,” she replied calmly. “I'm just explaining my true situation.”The waitress raised her eyebrows, dissatisfied with that answer. “Oh, so because you're pregnant, you get preferential treatment, huh?”Nayla sighed, feeling tired of this hostility. She was surprised that the waiter also knew about her pregnancy. Nayla looked up, looking at her stomach which didn't look distended at all for a two-month pregnancy.“How did you know about my pregnancy?”T
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
