A moment later, the sound of a knock on the door broke Nayla's reverie. The woman hurriedly wiped her cheeks and then stepped forward to open the door. The Head Servant, along with two other servants behind her, bowed their heads respectfully. "We are delivering the food you ordered, Ma'am," said Marta politely."Come in." A trolley filled with food was brought in and served on the coffee table inside the luxurious room. Nayla was not interested in the food that was served. She was more interested in looking at other photos scrolling through the photo gallery on Zavier's laptop."Close the door when you leave," Nayla said.Just as the door closed, Zavier came out of the bathroom, smelling good and with a towel wrapped around his waist."What are you looking at?" Zavier asked, then hurriedly approached his laptop."You two are so intimate," Nayla said in a melancholic tone. Her swollen eyes glanced at Zavier's chiseled abs, which were standing in front of her at that moment. The ma
But, the presence of Zavier and the unspoken warmth between them always managed to dispel that doubt. With a pounding heart, Nayla quickly prepared to attend the dinner event with her husband.Nayla held the beautiful dress in her hands, feeling the soft fabric touch her fingers. The dress had an elegant cut, with sparkling sequins that added a touch of luxury. When she wore it, the dress glided gently over her body, perfectly adjusting to every curve. The white color made her look elegant and enchanting.Zavier couldn't stop staring at Nayla in awe as she stepped out of the bathroom and stood before him, showcasing her stunning beauty."She really is so beautiful," he murmured to himself in admiration, his eyes unable to look away from his wife's natural beauty, but he didn't want to show his reaction. A smile appeared on the face of the cold man, then he went to put on his tuxedo with an indifferent attitude.Nayla smiled shyly, feeling warm from the mysterious gaze of her seeming
The red box contained a diamond ring, and Sefia immediately grabbed it and opened the box. "The diamond is so small!" Sefia exclaimed with a pout, then glanced at the diamond necklace Nayla was wearing."Zavier! You're unfair!" Sefia whined, playfully linking her arm with Zavier's and nudging Nayla slightly to make room for them."Ahh," Nayla screamed as she almost fell. She was wearing high heels that made her steps a bit awkward.However, Sefia did not accept Nayla's attitude and felt that the woman was just pretending."Ah, you're too careless," she said with a sarcastic tone, "I didn't know you were coming." Zavier never mentioned you."Sefia cast a disdainful glance at Nayla, "that outfit really doesn't match the necklace around your neck."Nayla felt a bit offended by Sefia's words, but she tried to remain calm. "Forgive me, Sefia.""This is a surprise from Zavier for me," she said softly while holding the diamond necklace that was draped around her neck.However, Sefia only sh
The screams of surprise from Nayla and Sefia echoed simultaneously, and chaos filled the room as the red liquid spread, an astonishing and unexpected sight.Nayla stood in her place, frozen, watching her beautiful white dress stained by red wine."What are you doing, Sefia?" she shouted with a trembling voice, trying to overcome her confusion.Sefia, with a sly smile on her face, grinned at Nayla with a look of satisfaction."Nayla, you pushed me on purpose," he said with a trembling voice, trying to maintain his facade.However, Nayla saw through the facade."Hey! You bumped into me and you did this on purpose!" she shouted sharply, her eyes radiating uncontrollable anger and disappointment.In the midst of the crowd, Zavier heard the commotion and rushed towards them. His eyes radiated concern as he saw Nayla drenched and Sefia standing there with a cold expression on her face. "What happened here?" he asked with a worried voice.Nayla tried to explain with a breathless voice, tryin
Although his heart was uneasy about leaving Nayla alone, he felt that he had no other choice. He felt responsible for Sefia, regardless of what actually happened at the party.Zavier drove his own car without a driver back to the hotel. The event is over, and the guests are no longer in sight.With hurried steps, Zavier entered the hotel room where Sefia was staying and rang the bell. Moments later, the door opened, and Kayla stood before Zavier with an unfriendly expression."Now, you will take good care of her." I will go and accompany your father. She feels guilty about the spilled wine and thinks her birthday party has become unpleasant," she said while putting on her shoes."Mom wonders, why did you have to bring that cunning woman to your lover's party? And let them clash because of jealousy?" Kayla shook her head and then left.Zavier let out a heavy sigh as he stepped into the luxurious pr
Nayla furrowed her brow and held her bent knee on the luxurious bed. However, she still didn't dare to chatter too much with Michael."Oh right, Michael. I almost forgot to ask about my sister, how is she doing?""Oh, it's no problem, she just needs to undergo dialysis more regularly, it seems she missed a day, that's why she got dizzy and fainted," Michael explained."I took her home last night, she didn't need to stay overnight at hospital," Michael continued.Nayla breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing all that, feeling a bit guilty for not being there."Sorry for bothering you last night," Nayla continued."No problem, Nayla." "You know, I want to do my best as a friend." Michael replied firmly."Thank you," Nayla responded."See you tomorrow, okay?" Nayla's voice sounded soft, and the woman deliberately yawned, "it turns out I'm already sleepy.""See you tomorrow, Nayla.""Dream about me, u
The emergency service officer gave Nayla quick and clear instructions, which she tried to follow while remaining calm.She tried every way to lower Zavier's body temperature and reduce his agitation, while continuing to hold his hand tightly, trying to provide warmth and support.While waiting for help to arrive, Nayla couldn't hide her worry. Her mind was filled with questions about what might have happened to Zavier.Nayla immediately called the servant in to help her. Nayla lifted Zavier's wet clothes from the floor in astonishment. The fabric felt cold and heavy in her hands, causing a sense of worry to creep within her."Why his clothes wet?" she asked the servant with a worried voice, her eyes searching for a satisfactory answer.The servant furrowed his brow for a moment, trying to recall what happened last night."Forgive me, Ma'am." Last night it rained heavily, could the Sir have returned in the
Since that moment, Zavier often vented his anger in various ways, including forcing them to engage in marital relations. Although since that time, Zavier always comes home every day. Unlike before. Zavier always comes home even though he has a lot of work, and Nayla thinks it's all a step in the right direction. Like last night, the man still came home despite the heavy rain and he was also drunk.A little while later, the doctor arrived at their house with a nurse, carrying a doctor's bag filled with medical supplies.Nayla immediately took the doctor to the room where Zavier was lying, watching anxiously every movement the doctor made as he examined her husband.The doctor carefully checked Zavier's body temperature, examined his blood pressure, and noted all visible symptoms. After completing his examination, he took some infusion injections and medication from his bag."His condition is indeed a bit serious,
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
Kayla nodded and followed Mando out of the dining room.With all eyes on her, Kayla knows she has to be extra careful. But behind her fake tears is a fierce determination to find a way to survive and maybe, one day, turn things back into her own hands.The next day, Zavier decided to take a bold step. After learning more about Nayla, he felt he had to find Nayla and get clear answers about her past."Cahyo, Mando," called Zavier in a flat voice.Cahyo and Mando, who had just reconciled after yesterday's hilarious incident, stood before Zavier in a ready stance. "What should we do, sir?" Cahyo asked.Zavier "I want you guys to go and find Nayla. We need answers about what really happened. I want to meet and talk to her."Mando looked at his master seriously. "We will look for Nayla, sir. We will do everything we can to find her."Cahyo nod
Cahyo looked at Mando with bulging eyes, but then saw how ridiculous this situation was. Mando stood on one leg, trying to avoid the pain, while Cahyo tried to hold back the laughter that was beginning to emerge.Mando, who was usually calm, finally laughed. “Seriously, Cahyo? Kicking me? That's your way of venting your anger?”Cahyo, who was now also smiling, shook his head. “Sorry, Mando. I'm just feeling very angry. All these secrets, all this pressure... I don't know where to vent it.”Mando approached Cahyo and patted him on the shoulder. “We're all here for Mr. Zavier, and we all feel the same pressure. But kicking your own friends is not the solution.”After saying so, Mando returned a kick to Cahyo's leg bone, making the man jump up and down and scream in pain.“Perfect revenge, isn't it?” said Mando with a triumphant laugh.
Zavier shook his head, trying to put together the jumbled pieces of memory. “I... I don't know for sure. But I feel like she's very important. Something about her... I should know more.”Sefia nodded, understanding Zavier's feelings despite her inner jealousy. “We'll find out together. Don't worry, you're not alone.”Hearing Sefia's words, Zavier brushed Sefia's hand away roughly, “I don't need you. You may leave immediately.”“K-you're kicking me out? B-what about this kid?”“D-he's innocent, Zav...” Sefia immediately knelt down with a trembling body and pleaded fearfully before Zavier.“Please,” Sefia said with teary eyes.Zavier wrinkled his forehead, he did not want to be said to be a cruel person to pregnant women. With a sharp gaze, he turned to Cahyo who remained faithfully there.“He and Kayla can stay together until the baby is born, but under stric
