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
"What do you mean?" Nayla widened her eyes.Before Zavier could say anything, the phone in his pocket rang.Zavier stared coldly at the phone screen, and Nayla could see the name displayed was Sefia."Pick it up, I'm going to take a shower first." Nayla immediately got up from her seat, but Zavier held her hand."Stay here," he said curtly.Nayla sat back down reluctantly while Zavier answered the call."Darling, where are you?" Sefia's voice on the other end of the call sounded spoiled and made Nayla uncomfortable to hear. Nayla immediately opened her own phone screen and played an online game.Zavier glanced at Nayla with a cold stare and then replied to Sefia in a curt tone. "I'm working. I'll find you tomorrow."Click! The call was unilaterally ended, and Zavier extinguished his cigarette by pressing it into the ashtray on the table.
Nayla rubbed her heavy head, thinking about what she should say to Zavier later when the food was delivered to her front door.It only took fifteen minutes and the front door was knocked by someone who might be the food delivery person Michael ordered. Nayla hurriedly went out to open the door and receive the order.A box of food and a plastic bag, along with a bouquet of flowers held by Michael himself, with a friendly smile on his face, made Nayla freeze in her tracks.Meanwhile, inside the room, Zavier also heard the sound of the front door knocking. With quick steps, he left the room and hurried to the front door. However, when he saw who was at the door, his expression changed to a mix of astonishment and dissatisfaction.There was Michael, standing at the door with a friendly smile on his face, holding a food package and a bouquet of flowers. Zavier's facial expression became tense as he realized that Nayla and Michael seemed to have an interaction
Just finished eating, Zavier's phone rang again, interrupting the man. Zavier answered it while walking towards the room.Vaguely, Nayla knew that the one calling Zavier was definitely Sefia."That's your 'friend' and you can 'be friends' until you start getting all lovey-dovey!" Nayla grumbled while tidying up the leftover food and getting ready to take the trash outside because she had a habit of throwing it beside the front door.Seeing the bouquet of flowers left in front of the house, Nayla hurriedly grabbed her phone and searched for Michael's number. With a pounding heart, she typed a short message to him, apologizing for the earlier incident and expressing her gratitude for his help and attention, as well as for the beautiful bouquet of flowers.Nayla picked up the bouquet and inhaled the beautiful scent of the roses. Zavier never gave her flowers.Nayla's eyes welled up with tears aga
After recording enough, she started taking photos. The camera screen on her phone made a “click” sound as it took the photo. It brought Nayla to her senses.Nayla opened her eyes and sat up straight, “who?”Hearing that, the stalker immediately put away his cell phone and planned to run away.Nayla felt uncomfortable and quickly stood up, grabbing a towel to wrap herself up. However, just as she was about to get out of the bathtub, she slipped on the slippery surface.“Aarghh!”Byurrr!Nayla fell back into the bathtub. Her forehead hit the edge of the bathtub.The man immediately turned around when he heard Nayla's scream, even though he was almost at the exit of the house.“Nayla?”He quickly ran back into the bathroom and found Nayla already unconscious from hitting her head on the edge of the bathtub. Dar*h was oozing slightly from Nayla's left forehe
“I thought you said to invite everyone. I also invited Kayla. That Stepmom of yours has two days off, don't you drive the old lady away too. She just wants to see her granddaughter.”Zavier spluttered, he never expected her to come too.“Joen's not her grandson,” Zavier said curtly.“Who is her grandson? She's old, I wish she could enjoy her last moments with her two grandchildren, Fernando and Joen. Don't you want me to accept Joen as my daughter too?”Zavier furrowed his brows at Sefia's emphasized words. He loosened his tie and threw his ass roughly onto the sofa.He was at a loss on how to divorce Sefia. As for Nayla, she didn't expect a divorce either. To Sefia, he felt he owed her a status because he had been with her since childhood.Sefia had been his girlfriend since he was in middle school and he understood Sefia with all her character.Zavier rubbed his own face roughly.Sefia appr
Nayla came to her senses after hearing Mando's emphatic words. She nodded weakly and followed Mando and Chayo obediently out of the luxurious party room.With languid steps, Nayla left the party, feeling a deep heaviness in her heart as she exited Zavier's house. Outside, the rain continued to fall heavily, reflecting her gloomy mood.“How cruel of you, Zavier! I... I'll never forgive you!” screamed Nayla in the rain.Outside, Nayla stood by the roadside with the rain soaking her body, not knowing where to go. She felt disconnected from everything that mattered in her life. Seeing Joen happy by her father and Fernando's side, she felt a huge gaping hole in her life.Nayla bit her lip and refused to be taken home by Cahyo or Mando.Nayla decided to walk, even though there were taxis and buses passing by but because she herself did not know her destination, she just walked straight.She hopes that by taking a rain shower, the rainw
Joen grabbed Fernando's coat sleeve and called out to him in a small voice, “kak Fernando.”“You've seen, haven't you?”Zavier looked at Nayla with a satisfied and triumphant smile. “We'll settle this in court. Now, leave before I call security.”“B-but, she's not yours, Zavier! I gave birth to her!”“You didn't even do anything when I was pregnant and when she was born prematurely, then you-”“That's because you lied to me, Nayla! Why did you never tell me that the child you were carrying was mine, not Michael's?!” Zavier interrupted.“How was I supposed to know who you were sleeping with?!”Nayla felt her heart breaking at Zavier's words, in front of her son, in front of everyone.Nayla felt embarrassed as she watched Joen avert his eyes and follow Fernando, while Zavier stood with an attitude that suggested he had won this battle.&ldq
Nayla suddenly felt her vision blurring and she was nauseous. With quick steps, she ran to the bathroom only to spill all the contents of her stomach.“Are you okay?” asked Cintya with concern.“No problem, I just haven't been eating well lately. Give me some heartburn medicine.”“Okay.”“I have to look healthy at the event tomorrow night, I want to be there as Joen's mother,” said Nayla in front of the mirror that reflected her current wrinkled and withered face.***The atmosphere of Joen's birthday party was very festive. Zavier's house was filled with colorful decorations, balloons, and sparkling lights. Cheerful music echoed throughout the room, and the guests seemed to be enjoying themselves.Joen, who is seven years old, looked very happy surrounded by friends and family. Fernando, with a big smile, looked like a caring big brother as he helped Joen receive the presents and then s
“This is serious, Nayla,” the doctor said in a worried tone. “You really need to rest if you don't want your condition to worsen. Stress and fatigue have aggravated this infection. If you continue to push yourself, you could experience more serious complications.”Nayla felt frustrated. The concert, which was only a month away, seemed increasingly out of reach. “I can't stop practicing, doctor. This is a big opportunity, and I can't let everyone down.”The doctor looked at Nayla with understanding. “I understand how important this concert is to you, but you must also remember that your health comes first. If you continue to push yourself, you might not only damage your health, but it could also hinder your performance in the concert.”After hearing the doctor's advice, Nayla felt even more depressed. Her health deteriorated, and she felt torn between the desire to perform perfectly and the need to take care of her
“Joen is already happy here too.”“I lost!”Nayla couldn't stop cursing herself.She knew that her journey ahead would not be easy, but she felt a little lighter after making the decision to let go. While Zavier returned to the room to join Joen and Fernando, Nayla left the house with steps filled with desolation.With the rain still falling outside, Nayla closed the door to Zavier's house behind her, letting him go with a heart full of feelings.This decision may have been difficult, but she knew that she had to face the future with new hope and continue to fight for Joen's happiness, even if she couldn't be with him every day.Nayla stepped out of Zavier's house, feeling the chill of the morning rain seep into her bones.It was still raining hard, but she didn't care about getting wet. Zavier didn't even offer her breakfast.Her heart was broken, and every step she took felt like a heavy weight draggin
Unexpectedly, Nayla responded with the same reaction, a longing embrace and an unrestricted kiss.They began to wrestle on the bed in a thin state of consciousness.Although Zavier was still conscious and repeatedly tried to restrain himself from swallowing Nayla, he lost control of the charms Nayla had to offer.A smooth body with natural beauty that only he had ever touched and they had never finalized the divorce.Sigh after exhausting sigh they experienced full of burning passion. Occasionally Nayla is the captain and occasionally Zavier takes over.The pouring rain prolonged the rhythm of their play until Nayla couldn't take it anymore. She bit Zavier several times out of anger and love. She was either sober or drunk.“You brat!” she exclaimed as she humped herself on top of Zavier who was exhausted because they had been together for several hours but she wouldn't let go of him as if she was expressing love as well as anger.
Nayla closed her eyes for a moment, savoring the moment. “Thank you, Zavier. I feel so happy tonight.”Nayla hoped that these were not her hallucinations and that she was not dreaming. Worse, she would experience painful memories again after Zavier's goal was achieved.Nayla had to fortify herself, but at this moment, she wanted a dance. Something she had dreamed of in Zavier for a long time.When the song ended, they continued to dance in meaningful silence. Zavier gazed at Nayla with love and appreciation, while Nayla felt a genuine and profound closeness even though her heart still held just as much suspicion.Finally, they stopped dancing and sat by the beach, looking up at the stars in the night sky. Zavier took out a bottle of champagne and gently uncorked it, pouring the drinks into crystal glasses. They toasted once more, celebrating a night filled with warmth, love, and hope for the future.“You have a place in my heart,
