All this time, Nayla had indeed suspected Zavier's closeness to Sefia. This discovery plunged Nayla into her anger because she realized that their relationship had already gone 'too far'.
Nayla's hands trembled, holding the hotel receipt that was half-soaked. Nayla sat down weakly and pondered what she should do.
Her gaze was blank as she looked at the pile of laundry still waiting in front of her. Every day, she has to do all the household chores, which are obviously very tiring, but Zavier never appreciates them at all.
Am I just considered a maid to him?
Nayla couldn't stop asking herself because of her unclear presence in this luxurious house. She felt completely trapped in this luxurious house ever since she married Zavier.
Her days were filled only with all the household chores that never seemed to end.
With a sorrowful face, Nayla stood up and walked slowly towards her room. She started taking out her suitcase and pulling out some of her clothes from the closet.
She has been trying to hold on for the past two years because she couldn't do much.
She had to pay off her parents' restaurant debts that piled up due to a failed fraudulent investment and her younger sibling's exorbitant medical expenses. How could she not? Until now, her younger sibling still needs to be treated for the leukemia she is suffering from.
Remembering her sister who still needs a lot of money, Nayla sat on the edge of the bed and pondered the actions she had to take.
Nayla glanced at the clock on the wall of her luxurious room, it was twelve noon.
At that moment, the sound of a car engine could be heard entering the driveway of the luxurious house.
Is Zavier home? Nayla asked in her heart, she immediately wiped the tears that wet her cheeks with the back of her hand, then stood up and was about to greet her husband's arrival as she usually did, but a moment later, her steps halted.
'Aren't I leaving?' Nayla canceled her intention to welcome Zavier, then turned her body back towards the wardrobe, hastening her movements to pack clothes into the suitcase.
The bedroom door opened a moment later, and Zavier stepped inside with a cold gaze while loosening his tie.
Seeing Nayla packing clothes into the suitcase, the man couldn't help but ask. Zavier stopped in his tracks on his way to the bathroom.
"What are you doing?"
Nayla took a deep breath while continuing to fold her clothes.
"Hei! What are you doing?"
Silence...
Nayla tried to regulate her heartbeat, which was currently unstable.
"Tell me! What are you doing!" Zavier stepped forward and grabbed her hand to stop Nayla.
"Let go! I want to leave! I want a divorce from you!" Nayla shouted, glaring back with a sharp look.
"How dare you say that! Huh!" Zavier laughed instead and released Nayla's hand with a single rough gesture..
"Get the tuxedo!" Zavier commanded while unbuttoning his shirt. At first, the man went home to take a shower and change his clothes.
Zavier's muscular and athletic body was clearly displayed in front of Nayla, and the woman quickly turned her gaze elsewhere. She tried not to respond to Zavier's request.
It seemed Zavier was starting to feel annoyed, and the man's face grew colder. The aura of anger began to envelop him. A sharp glare was directed at her.
"Where's my Tuxedo!" he shouted loudly, startling Nayla.
"I-I won't serve you anymore! Let's just get a divorce!" Nayla gathered her courage and hurriedly locked the already full suitcase.
"Oh, so you want to take something that doesn't belong to you and leave me here?"
Hearing Zavier's words, Nayla stopped her movements and looked at her suitcase. "I-I was just taking clothes. There's nothing valuable inside."
Zavier turned to Nayla with a sharp gaze like an eagle about to kill its prey.
"Nayla, are you sure you can live without me?"
"Without the status of Abraham that you currently have?"
Zavier's question pierced Nayla's heart, but she ignored it and pulled her suitcase with steady steps, choosing to remain silent and not answer Zavier's question.
However, Zavier held her hand when they faced each other.
"Leave it!" Zavier exclaimed coldly as he realized that Nayla was truly serious about her actions.
"What do you mean?" Nayla looked at Zavier with confusion.
Zavier pulled the suitcase Nayla was holding and threw it onto the floor a bit further away.
"Everything you took belongs to me, even the clothes currently on your body. All belongs to me!" You came without bringing anything. Did you forget about it?"
Nayla swallowed her bitter saliva. Her heart ached, and she couldn't respond except by standing frozen in place. Tears welled up again in Nayla's eyelids.
Zavier moved and sat on the sofa, folding his arms under his chest, staring at Nayla with a cold and condescending look.
"Take it off!"
Nayla felt a great sense of devastation and humiliation at that moment. She knew that when she arrived, she only brought the clothes that clung to her body. Zavier's orders were only to worsen and demean her existence.
With anger already taking over her mind, Nayla moved to the wardrobe and took out a knee-length dress she had worn when she arrived two years ago.
Nayla took off her clothes in front of Zavier and was about to put on the dress. No conversation took place, and both of Nayla's cheeks were already wet with flowing tears.
Zavier raised the corner of his mouth, looking at Nayla's almost naked body. He clenched his jaw and felt increasingly angry because the woman was still insisting on leaving him.
"So you're sure about your decision?"
"Do you forget about your sister's medical expenses? And your father's still large debts? I warn you about the consequences of your decision! It's not easy to find a job in a country ruled by the Abraham Family!"
Hearing Zavier's critical words, Nayla stopped her movement in putting on the dress. Thinking for a moment.
Nayla's frozen posture made her look very attractive to Zavier, especially with the sunlight reflecting through the window at that moment.
Zavier could no longer contain the passion that had formed within him. With a rough step, he approached Nayla and tore the dress she had almost finished putting on.
"Z-Zavier! Don't!"
"That's enough! L-let me go!" Nayla shouted, trying to fight back.
The man acted roughly even though Nayla tried to resist and struggle. Roughly, Zavier pushed and threw the fair-skinned body onto the bed, then once again fulfilled his desire to dominate Nayla.
"Ugh!" groaned Nayla.
Nayla closed her eyes, angrily pulled the sheets beside the bed, and assured herself that this would be the last time that man would control her body.
'After this, it will all be over!' Nayla could only be patient and try to endure.
A few moments later, Nayla heard the soft sound of snoring, indicating that Zavier had fallen into a deep sleep.
Nayla turned and looked at the man she loved so much once again, then gently caressed his cheek.
Nayla wrote a small note to signify their farewell. After putting on another dress, Nayla decided not to take the suitcase she had packed earlier.
She remembered Zavier's hurtful words. Nayla left with only a dress and an old tote bag that she had brought the first time she entered Zavier's house.
Nayla had no idea that Zavier was close to Sefia, his ex-girlfriend, only because he felt indebted. The tragic accident that left him in a coma could not make his remember why the accident happened.
He just thought that it was an ordinary accident while playing with the speedboat on the lake.
Two years ago, Zavier drove his speedboat at high speed because he heard the news that Sefia was with her affair on a luxury yacht.
Realizing Zavier's arrival with the speedboat in anger, Sefia panicked and immediately fled using another speedboat with her affair.
No one could have predicted how Zavier, in his anger, crashed into their luxury yacht and was thrown far into the lake. Zavier's head hit hard and caused bleeding. Zavier was in a coma for months after the surgery.
Xander Abraham-the father, seeing his only son in such a state, felt sympathy for the future of the heir.
Coincidentally, at the same time, in that Hospital, Xander found Nayla. The agreement was made well and approved by both parties without coercion.
Although Nayla looked very burdened, for the sake of her sister who needed care, she would take all the risks to do something.
All the chances!
"You will become my daughter-in-law, and I will take care of all your sister's medical expenses and help you pay off your father's debts," Xander said firmly.
"Nayla!" Prepare my lunch! "I'm hungry!" shouted Zavier while hugging a soft pillow and still reluctant to open his eyes.Silence ... There was no response, causing the handsome man to reluctantly open his eyes and furrow his brow.With reluctance, Zavier got up and sat on the edge of the bed. Both of his eyes glanced at the suitcase standing firmly near the exit. In his heart, Zavier smiled, thinking that Nayla didn't leave because her suitcase was still there."Nayla!" called Zavier as he opened the door and looked outside the room, searching for Nayla, but the atmosphere in the house remained silent."Hugh! Always making me angry!" Zavier reluctantly re-entered the bathroom, grabbed a towel, and stepped into the shower.After finishing his shower, Zavier couldn't find his clothes on the bed. Usually, Nayla has already prepared her outfit for the party.Is she cooking? "Really so slow!" grumbled Zavier as he opened the wardrobe, took out the tuxedo, and put it on."Where is my duty?
"Damn!" Zavier shouted angrily. The cellphone was thrown onto the bed."That damn woman didn't even turn on her phone!" With annoyance, Zavier flung himself onto the cold bed.His feelings were troubled, and both of his eyes were filled with red sclera, indicating that the man was very upset and didn't know what to do.A moment later, he grabbed the car keys and stepped out of the house with the intention of looking for Nayla.Meanwhile, Nayla had arrived in front of her small house. The house bought by Xander, her kind-hearted father-in-law.The small house only has two small rooms, each with a single bed, and one of the rooms is occupied by the younger sibling who takes care of herself."Sister?" Nadira greeted her sister, who looked a bit pale and tired.Nayla just smiled and hugged her younger sibling. Tears flowed again, wetting her cheeks."W-what happened?" Why didn't you call?Nadira was very upset with Nayla's condition, which seemed to be in turmoil. Immediately, she led her
A cloudy morning and Zavier is still sound asleep even though the alarm on his phone has been ringing for a while."Nayla, tell the alarm to be quiet first!""The song earlier was truly beautiful to my ears!" Zavier shouted in his sleep.Zavier dreamed he was listening to a song sung with a beautiful melody in his ears, the voice of a girl who was very gentle and soothing. The same song that had accompanied him while he was still in a coma.'Aren't your legs tired from running? There is something they don't understand. Give yourself some time to lean for a moment, all this time you've been great ... It's just that you haven't been heard.' The melodies flew.Zavier smiled contentedly in his sleep, he really liked that song. But the alarm ringing on his phone started to feel annoying."Nayla! I told you to turn off the alarm!" Zavier sat on the bed, feeling angry because his wife still hadn't moved.Slowly, Zavier returned to consciousness. Nayla had indeed left him.Annoyed, Zavier gra
Nayla took a deep breath, trying to calm herself before starting. She looked at the microphone in front of her, feeling tense yet also full of enthusiasm to give her best.She had to do all this, she knew it would be difficult to find a job in a country ruled by the Abraham's family. But, that was not a reason for her to beg and serve Zavier again.He needs a substantial living cost, so this will be his first step towards a career.With only a few qualifications and work experience in an office, it is unlikely that she will be accepted by a company to work in an office.But, she has a melodious voice; before meeting Zavier, she often performed on stages to sing at weddings or birthday parties.With great care, she chose the song she would sing, a song that filled her heart with complex emotions.When Nayla started singing, she tried to look towa
"Listen, Nayla," Michael said with a warm voice, "I know you're in a difficult situation." Why don't you allow me to take you home? I'm sure we can chat the whole way."Nayla was surprised by the offer, but also touched by Michael's kindness. Although her heart was torn between nervousness and gratitude, she finally nodded gently."Thank you, Michael. I appreciate it," Nayla said with a voice full of gratitude."You wait for me outside. Three more people and the audition will be over," said Michael as he walked away, while Nayla returned to the waiting room where the other auditionees greeted her with annoyed faces."Why is it taking so long, huh!" An audition participant shot Nayla a displeased look and then entered the audition room according to their turn.Nayla was a bit confused because she remembered the message Michael had conveyed earlier. Should she wait?
On the other hand, Nayla really wants to try on her own and prove the potential of her talent.They continued their conversation comfortably, sharing stories and memories about their past. Laughing and joking, they seemed to forget all the problems they were facing in the outside world.A moment later, the atmosphere changed when Michael asked about Nayla's husband. "How is your husband doing?" Michael asked with a slightly heavy voice.Nayla felt a bit awkward with that question. She felt uncomfortable discussing her personal matters with Michael, even though she appreciated Michael's kindness and concern."Oh, he's busy with his work," Nayla replied awkwardly, trying to avoid the topic.Michael sensed Nayla's discomfort, but he didn't want to press her. "Sorry if I asked too much," he said softly, trying to lighten the mood.Nayla smiled faintly, feeling re
Nayla tried to remember whether she had told her sister about her plans, but she wasn't sure.The feeling of suspicion began to gnaw at her heart. She felt betrayed by someone she should have trusted. However, she also couldn't ignore the fact that her situation with Zavier had been complicated before, and perhaps Zavier had done everything possible to track her down.With a confusing mix of emotions, Nayla felt increasingly trapped in a labyrinth of complicated problems. She didn't know what to do next, but one thing was certain: she had to find a way to deal with all of this and find a way out of the increasingly worsening situation.Zavier, after closing the door and locking it from the inside, felt annoyed because he couldn't find Nayla in the room. His eyes swept the room quickly, searching for any trace of his wife's presence.However, when he heard the sound of running water coming from the ba
Zavier stared at Nayla with an intense gaze, trying to understand the meaning behind her words. However, in his own confusion and bewilderment, he couldn't contain his feelings of anger and frustration."What do you want, Nayla?" What must I do for you to come back to me?" Zavier urged with a forceful voice, confusion and misunderstanding surfacing in every word.Nayla felt suffocated by the increasing pressure. She knew that she had to think clearly and make the right decision, but in her heart, she felt trapped between lingering feelings of love and an increasingly complicated and painful reality.With a heavy heart and breathless, Nayla tried to find the courage and strength to answer Zavier's question.Nayla asserted her decision with a trembling voice, "Leave Sefia!"Hearing those words, Zavier's gentle gaze immediately changed.The man immediately relea
“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,
She knew that he had organized this lunch just to show that Joen was very comfortable in the beach house.Zavier wanted Nayla to withdraw without going to court, regarding the custody they were going to argue about.All for Joen's happiness!After a hearty lunch, the maid escorted Joen back to his room as it was time to rest.As the sun began to dip low on the horizon, the sky turned into a mesmerizing palette of orange and pink colors. Nayla was still at Zavier's beach house, soaking in the beauty of the place that now felt like an oasis of calm. After a warm and meaningful lunch, Zavier invited her to enjoy a more special evening.“How about you come home after dinner? We've never had dinner together by the beach,” Zavier said as he slowly walked beside Nayla, accompanying her along the scenic beach.“Hmm, I would love to attend your dinner invitation, Zavier,” Nayla replied with a blissful smile.She wished
Zavier stood beside the table, watching the waiters carefully arrange the plates while occasionally glancing at the wall clock. The man looked very handsome despite holding a walking stick to his right.When he saw Nayla coming out of the room, his face broke into a smile. “Welcome. We're ready for lunch,” he said in a friendly tone.“Thank you, Zavier. This food looks amazing,” Nayla replied as she approached the table. She saw Joen sitting in a chair, his eyes twinkling with unconcealed enthusiasm.“Mama,” Joen called and hugged Nayla longingly.“What took you so long to come?”“Hum, I had some business.”“Let's sit down, we're all hungry, aren't we?” Zavier immediately took Joen by the hand and guided him to sit in the chair next to Fernando.Joen looked a little nervous, probably because of Nayla's presence and the fact that he would be eating with them. Howev
Joen looked happy and healthy, showing no signs of the autistic symptoms that had once haunted him. Fernando seemed like a caring brother, and Nayla could sense how important their relationship was to Joen.Zavier stood beside Nayla, watching his ex-wife's reaction. “Look at how the two of them play together. Joen seems very happy here. I believe that he is getting what he needs from this environment. I want her to have the stability and closeness that may be hard to come by in conflicted circumstances.”Nayla swallowed, feeling the weight of the reality she had to face. Tears rolled down her cheeks as she looked painfully at Joen.“She seems happy, Zavier. I can't deny that she has a good environment here. But this doesn't make me feel any better.”Zavier looked at Nayla gently, his eyes looking at her with understanding. “I don't want to make you feel worse. I just want the best for Joen. If he's happy and healthy here, the
The harsh words made Nayla feel that Zavier was disgusted with her. Nayla clenched her fists again and let her body surrender, crushed by Zavier's body.Zavier was checking himself whether he still wanted this woman as his wife or not.Apparently, his feelings were already frozen. He felt no desire to fuck Nayla at all. He just inhaled the scent he longed for until he fell asleep.The sound of Zavier's soft snoring made Nayla feel humiliated. She had imagined an intimate scene that might make him regain his innocence or the idea that they would get back together, become a happy family.However, all that was lost.Not long after, Nayla gently shifted Zavier's body, which was quite heavy for her, to the side of the bed.He was still charming her and she felt so stupid for loving the same man over and over again.Nayla stroked Zavier's cheek as he closed his eyes, tracing the thin mustache that adorned his jaw.“You are so h
Nayla immediately got back into her blanket obediently.Zavier looked at Nayla with determination, but his expression softened slightly. “I know this is hard for you, Nayla. I just want to do what's best for Joen. If you really love him, you will understand that this is the best decision.”Nayla felt anger and sadness mixed up inside her. “How can you say that? I won't let Joen's future be tarnished just because of bad news about me. I'd rather fight for his custody in court than accept money and lose the chance to raise him myself.”“I-I really never did anything with Michael, I-”Zavier sighed and sat back in his chair, seemingly exhausted by this debate. “Then, if you really insist, we'll settle it in court. But I have to say, this isn't just about money or custody. It's about giving Joen the life he deserves without getting into unnecessary trouble.”Nayla stood up carefully, clutching the blanket
