Gently, Michael applied medicine to Nayla's slender neck. The man swallowed his saliva several times because he realized that Nayla was indeed very beautiful and capable of stirring something within him. The fat man must have felt the same way, which is why he acted beyond the limits earlier.
"Nay, you are indeed very beautiful." Your beauty makes any man unable to resist looking at you, wanting ... to bite you," said Michael with a gentle smile on his face and a deep gaze into Nayla's eyes, which were so close to him.Nayla only replied with a smile and adjusted her bathrobe to avoid exposing her aurah."T-thank you," he replied awkwardly.Michael swallowed his saliva once, holding back the urge to bite and kiss the long neck of that other man."Zavier is a lucky man to have you," he said with a small laugh and stepped away to put away the ointment.Nayla's gaze drifted far away, asking herself, does Zavier really feThe security officers looked at Nayla with sympathy before they nodded and left her alone there.Nayla sat beside the tall fenced house, crying uncontrollably. Everything felt so empty, her world was collapsing before her.Suddenly, the front door creaked open, and Sefia appeared in the doorway with a cynical smile on her face."Nayla, right?" Sefia said in a cold tone.Nayla nodded, trying to hold back her tears. "Yes, that's me."Sefia sighed arrogantly. "I hope Zavier has already told you." You are a big problem in our lives. And now, you no longer have a place here. All your things have been thrown away, so it's better for you to leave and never come back.Nayla stared at Sefia with wide eyes. It felt like a knife stabbing directly into her heart. "Alright Sefia, I... I just sat down and pondered for a moment."Sefia just shook her head coldly. "No, I absolutely refuse to see you.""That will
Michael loosened his embrace and looked deeply into Nayla's eyes, "Don't cry for someone who doesn't think of you, now I'll take you to my house and tomorrow morning we'll go back to Bogor, okay?"Nayla nodded resignedly and smiled weakly, feeling relieved to have someone who cared for her in difficult times like this."Come on, get on," Michael invited after getting on his sports motorcycle.Nayla got on and Michael pulled her hand to hug her tightly. The sports motorcycle was then sped up, slicing through the highway with agility."Hug tightly!" shouted Michael over the roar of the engine echoing around them. Nayla smiled, feeling the warmth of Michael's embrace that gave her a sense of security amidst the darkness of the night."Why don't we enjoy tonight?" Michael said while turning slightly towards Nayla. "Be like the wind, let all your burdens be carried away by it.""Alright!" Nayla nodded, surrendering herself
As the rain grew heavier, Zavier got out of the car and stopped in the middle of the road, watching the rain drench his entire body. Frustration and anger overwhelmed him. He felt like everything that happened was because of his own weakness, because he couldn't control his own feelings for Nayla.Zavier stood frozen in the pouring rain, clenching his fists tightly. He felt like everything he did always ended in failure. His feeling of frustration reached its peak, making him feel like there was no way out of this situation.However, amidst the darkness and the heavy rain, the security officer ran and brought an umbrella for him, but he refused."Let me be here." "I feel very guilty towards Nayla," he said, raising one hand to prevent the security officer from approaching."Tuan ... "The security officer was powerless to do anything but stand and watch the destruction within the master.A moment later, Sefia came out
Sefia took a deep breath as she followed him into the room and saw Zavier sitting alone at the far end of the room. She had longed for moments like this, where they could be alone together, without any interruptions from others. With steady steps, she approached Zavier, trying to hold back the tension that filled her heart.Zavier turned as Sefia approached, a gentle smile etched on his face. "Sefia." "Why are you still not asleep?"Sefia felt her heart racing. She swallowed before finally answering, "Zavier." I just want to spend time with you. May I sit down?Zavier nodded, gesturing to the seat beside him. "Of course, please sit down."Sefia chose to sit carefully on the edge of the bed, trying to arrange the words in her mind before finally speaking. "Zavier, I..." He fell silent, feeling confused. How could he express his feelings without looking too reckless?Zavier looked at her attentively. "Is there something you want t
Sefia was a bit surprised, especially since Zavier's steps were very quick and seemed hurried, and he didn't answer her at all."Eh, what's going on?" he asked, confused.His eyes widened, trying to understand what was happening."Zavier?" she called out again, her voice full of questions.Zavier smiled, although he looked a bit out of breath. Quickly, he placed the pillow and blanket he was holding beside the bed, then replaced the blanket on the bed with the one he brought.He also quickly exchanged the pillow, saying, "Let's switch... I can't sleep well without my pillow," he said and then hurriedly left."Eh ... "Sefia could only stare at the door that Zavier had just closed, her confusion deepening. What just happened? Why did Zavier suddenly change his mind? But before he could think further, he saw the pillow and blanket that had just been placed on the bed.With mixed feelings, Sefia clu
"Zavier... he's still in my memory, ohh, this is wrong!" she hissed, then Nayla screamed and pushed Michael away, then sat on the edge of the bed, adjusting her clothes that had been slightly disheveled, trying to regain her composure with heavy breaths."Nay ...," Michael called gently.Michael felt the vibrations of anxiety from Nayla, and his heart was shaken by the uncertainty implied in her words.However, before he could respond, Nayla quickly moved towards the door, seemingly intending to sleep in the living room."A-aku, forgive me, Michael." I-I'll just sleep in the living room!""Eh, No, Nayla, wait ...," said Michael gently, stopping Nayla's steps."I don't want to force you." I will sleep in the living room. You can stay here.Nayla looked at Michael with clarity in her eyes. "But..."Nayla feels ashamed of what has happened. She ran out of words."No buts," Michael interje
Meanwhile, in Michael's apartment, in the bathroom, Nayla quickly applied thick makeup to her face, trying to hide the dark circles forming under her eyes.He felt embarrassed by his tired appearance, not wanting others to see how he really was.However, in his heart, he also felt anxious about what would happen next."No, no, this is not enough," Nayla muttered to herself, looking at her polished result in the mirror. "But it's okay." I have to keep trying."This, ahh ... looks like a panda!" she exclaimed angrily.With a pounding heart, Nayla moved towards the kitchen, joining Michael who was busy setting the breakfast table. A fragrant aroma wafted through the room."Good morning," Michael greeted with a baritone voice and a warm smile. Nayla saw dark circles under the man's eyes. The woman smiled slightly, realizing that the man also couldn't sleep soundly all night."What breakfast did you make, Mich?"
Chayo pushed up her glasses and replied, "I know ... looking for evidence that Mrs. Nayla is not cheating, but what will you do if it turns out she is indeed not cheating?"Hearing the assistant's rather bold question, Zavier stared deeply at the man and swallowed his saliva roughly."I will not divorce her!""Sorry, Sir." What about Mrs. Sefia? Are you planning to have two wives at the same time?Brang!!!Angrily, Zavier threw the small LED screen in front of him, causing it to shatter and scatter on the floor. Chayo immediately stepped back a few paces and apologized."Sir, forgive my boldness, but all of this needs to be considered," Chayo said while bowing his head.She witnessed how Nayla always fell into despair when she became Zavier's wife. The man often comes home late and makes excuses about working overtime, but he is actually enjoying a romantic dinner with Sefia."Madam often contact
Sefia took out her cell phone and called Kayla. Telling her everything that happened with some spice of course.“So you're going to help me again?” Sefia asked at the end of their conversation.“Of course, you wait and see. No need to respond to anything while it's happening. Focus and go see how Zavier is doing and give him your attention.”Kayla spoke firmly and as if victory was already there.“Doctor Bram, right? It's easy business then.” Kayla's words sounded clear and firm, making Sefia start to feel relieved and supported.The call was completed and Sefia smiled with satisfaction. She could already be relieved to fall asleep.Meanwhile, Zavier heard the shocking news about Nayla. Without waiting any longer, he immediately rushed to the patient room, where Nayla was being treated.Arriving there, Zavier in his wheelchair saw Nayla lying on the bed with a pale face and tired eyes. A bandage was
When a doctor came out of the treatment room, Bram immediately approached. “How is he, Doc?” he asked in a hoarse voice.The doctor sighed, looking at Bram with a serious expression. Of course he knew Doctor Bram well.“Nayla has second degree burns on several parts of her body. Although the wounds are not too severe, we still have to do intensive care to prevent infection and aid her recovery.”Bram nodded, trying to compose himself.“His face is unharmed, just a little on his calves and back,” the doctor continued.“I want to make sure she gets the best care,” he said in a firm tone. “Whatever is needed, I will provide it.”The doctor nodded and patted Bram's shoulder sympathetically before heading back inside the treatment room.Bram shifted his gaze to the other room at the end of the corridor, where Sefia was being treated. The wound on Sefia's face looked quite severe,
Sefia laughed in a low, triumphant tone and threw a match onto a pile of straw that had been set up not far from where Nayla and Joen lay.As the flames began to lick at the weathered walls of the hut. Thick smoke soon filled the air, covering their vision with a suffocating blanket of darkness.Bayu was startled and immediately returned to the hut. Bayu struggled against panic, his body tense as he tried to drag Joen and Nayla away from the fire, out of harm's way.“You're crazy, Sefia!” shouted Bayu again, his voice hoarse from the smoke and mounting anger. A semi-conscious Joen coughed, trying to understand what was happening.Sefia just looked at Bayu with a cold stare. “I did what had to be done,” she said firmly. “We can't keep waiting, Bayu. It's the only way to make sure they won't hunt us down.”Bayu gritted his teeth, resisting the urge to retaliate against Sefia with just as much anger. “This isn
“When can I see Joen?” he asked in a voice trembling violently, with a tone full of hope and curiosity.Sefia laughed softly. “You'll get the hint soon enough. But for now, let's make sure everything stays under control. I'll tell you the next step,” she said while looking at the recording. Checking that there weren't any mistakes.Nayla stood anxiously and frustrated, hoping and praying that Joen would return to her soon without having to go through more dangerous games from Sefia.Sefia, still with a sly smile on her face, took out a water bottle from her bag. “Now, Nayla, drink this,” she said as she held out the bottle.“Obey, and I will take you to see Joen.”Nayla looked doubtfully at the bottle. “What did you put in this water?” she asked, her voice trembling with fear.Sefia just laughed lightly. “Oh, nothing dangerous. Just something that will make you feel more... re
“You can't just hold Joen as a bargaining chip,” he said in a trembling, yet determined voice.Sefia smiled sarcastically. “I can do anything to achieve my goals, Nayla. So, if you want Joen to return safely, I suggest you comply with my request.”Nayla felt her heart in her throat, the uncertainty and anxiety making it difficult for her to think clearly. But she knew one thing: she couldn't let Sefia win this way.“If I have to say that to see Joen, I will. But remember, Sefia, what I say in front of the camera won't change what I feel in my heart,” he said with determination.“Yes... only you need to know that. Zavier only needs to know what you said through this video.”Nayla swallowed her saliva and held back her anger, for Joen's sake.“You know, I want a perfect life with Zavier. To be his girlfriend for a long time and this is the result? You come out of nowhere and get married whi
The two of them walked into the hut cautiously. As her eyes began to adjust to the dim light in the room, Nayla saw Sefia sitting casually on a rickety chair, a sardonic smile gracing her face.“Gee, poor Zavier,” Sefia quipped in a mocking tone. “He's paralyzed, and you were so quick to replace him with a handsome young doctor,” she continued as she shot Bram a mocking look.“Perhaps...” Sefia ruffled his hair and tossed it gently back, “you've been having an affair for quite some time.”“Ahh, that stupid guy, always looking at your innocent-looking but rotten self!” she continued with a chuckle.Nayla felt the anger suddenly heat up inside her. “Don't twist the truth, Sefia. And cut down on your unnecessary talk. I'm here for Joen. Where is he?!” Her tone was firm and demanding, her eyes never leaving Sefia's face.Sefia chuckled, then stood up and folded her arms across her
“But... it's about Joen,” Nayla stammered, torn between fear and the desire to save her son. “I can't wait any longer.”“We can't involve the police, I-”Bram took Nayla's hand gently, his eyes sharp and determined. “Don't you need a driver, Mrs. Nayla?” he said with a faint smile, trying to calm the tension that surrounded them both.Nayla felt momentarily calmed by Bram's light tone. “Yes, but this could be dangerous. I don't want to involve you...”“We don't know either, it's just-”Bram laughed softly, interrupting Nayla's words, “Mrs. Nayla, I'm a doctor, used to dealing with emergency situations. And besides, you need help. I won't let you face this alone.”Nayla sighed, finally nodding in agreement. “Alright, but we should get going. I don't want to waste time.”Bram nodded, “Wait here, I'll get the car.”Not long
Nayla nodded, trying to calm herself down. However, in her heart, she knew that this problem was much bigger than just a missing child.Sefia and Bayu couldn't just show up for no reason. There was something they were planning, and it made Nayla feel uncomfortable.“I have to find Joen as soon as possible,” Nayla said in a firm voice. “Whatever they want, I won't let them harm my son.”With trembling hands, Nayla immediately contacted Sefia, but her call went unanswered. Sefia deliberately ignored the call.Nayla grew increasingly panicked, trying once more, but there was still no answer.“Connected?” asked Bram sympathetically.Nayla shook her head languidly. “I'll try one more time.”Doctor Bram, seeing Nayla's anxiety, immediately volunteered. “Let me try,” he said as he reached out for Nayla's cell phone. “Maybe she'll be more interested in answering calls from numb
“You'll find it, dear. Why don't we search together one more time?” the child's mother asked confidently and enthusiastically.Nayla nodded her head and they searched the hospital and its surroundings together, along with some security guards. Two security guards stayed behind to check the CCTV footage.Nayla was happy with the help. However, in her heart, she knew there was something more than just this lost incident. Her instincts told her there was a hidden threat stalking them all.As Nayla hurriedly searched the hospital corridors, she didn't see anyone emerge from the corner of the room. In her panic, she bumped into someone's body quite hard. Instantly, her body staggered backwards.“Look out!” exclaimed a male voice in a firm yet soothing tone.Before Nayla could fall, the man swiftly caught her. The man's sturdy hands wrapped around her waist, keeping her from falling. Nayla looked up, her eyes meeting a pair of sha
