While Aiden was looking for the whereabouts of someone watching him, Wendy interrupted the man's surveillance."Honey, I want all of this," Wendy said with a row of items she wanted to have.Aiden nodded his head, "we take all of this."The salesperson immediately brought all their branded products to the cashier. While the lovers remained in the waiting room."Darling, is there a problem? Why do you look so worried?" she asked."No." The man gently stroked the top of his lover's head."Today so stay?" The woman's eyes showed extraordinary enthusiasm."Em..." Aiden muttered, for some reason, his heartfelt confused. "Sorry, dear..."His words were not finished, but the woman's face immediately sullen. The change in Wendy's expression made Aiden feel guilty, but his current anxiety was uncompromising."So. I have already booked the best room for us,” continued Aiden. At first, he wanted to refuse, but his conscience said to make Wendy happy. He repeatedly canceled appointments with his
Even though he didn't force her to tell him. But that sentence managed to provoke Dea to say what happened after marriage. The psychiatrist is a good listener to his patients."So that's it, sir," Dea ended after telling everything that happened to her.“Fine, I understand. But while interacting with Aiden, as your husband. What happened psychosomatic?”Dea shook her head, her psychological condition was fine when she was with Aiden. Even though they often fight, they don't cause physical disturbances because of their psychological condition.“Psychosomatics only happened when I was in the hospital and rescued victims were trapped in an apartment. So far I can't remember anything that happened before the accident. However, when I heard the perpetrator's voice, my head ached and my ears rang. It feels like going back in time,” she lamented."Okay, I understand, for now, please consume some of the following medicine." The psychiatrist handed Dea a piece of paper. "All medicines are stil
Unlike the others' responses, Dea looked blankly at the woman approaching them. The woman was Wendy. Aiden froze while Kusuma glanced at his wife, whose expression stiffened."Good evening," Rita broke the silence. She glanced at her son and husband alternately. "How are you, Auntie?" Wendy asked as she hugged Rita. Aiden's body felt cold as he witnessed the scene in front of him, especially when Rita frowned disapprovingly at someone hugging her without permission. He quickly pulled Wendy away."Is there something important?" Aiden said, not forgetting to give a faint smile to his girlfriend. "No. I just wanted to say hi after seeing you guys heading into the restaurant," Wendy replied, immediately linking her arm with Aiden's."Oh, I see," Aiden stammered. He slowly released his grip on her arm."We're heading home now, dear," Rita concluded the meeting. "Aww... but Wendy wanted to chat with Auntie," Wendy regretted with a gloomy face."I'm sorry, Wendy, but we have important matter
The phone call continued to go unanswered. Dea even had to call Mr. Bad twice. On the third attempt, she finally heard the annoying man's voice. Dea sighed with relief."Hey, Sweetie, what's up?" Bad asked in a gentle tone. The question grated on Dea's ears. She found the sweet voice utterly repulsive."Do you know about the Lotus group?" Dea asked, getting straight to the point."I do. Why?" replied Bad."Are you a member of them?""Of course... not, Honey." Bad's response hung in the air, irritating Dea. "Is there something with that group? Are they bothering you?" Bad continued, curious.Dea rolled her eyes, "Didn't you say you were supposed to keep me safe? How come you don't know about this?!" she said with irritation."Sorry. I haven't kept my promise; there have been many things I had to deal with lately.""Bullshit!""I'm serious, after this, I'll protect you seriously. I won't make the same mistake again," Mr. Bad pleaded with a hoarse voice, struggling to express the guilt h
The man was guessing what was happening with his wife. It felt very strange to see Dea's friendliness. He was used to seeing her being moody, disheveled, and weary."Today she's even stranger than usual," Aiden thought. He tried to shift his gaze, but couldn't. Because Dea was like a magnet pulling anything to be near her. Even the servants went back and forth, offering small snacks to the woman. Of course, they acted very cheerful when serving Dea."Sir, it's already 7:30. Aren't you supposed to leave for the office?" Asih said. She received a message from Lastro that their employer needed to leave."No. I'll leave now," Aiden replied, his gaze still fixed on his wife. His attention was hard to divert until Asih called him again."Sir."His awareness returned, and he quickly left without saying a word. Asih, who followed him, could only smile because it was amusing to see her employer's behavior. She had realized that Aiden had been looking at Dea for a while. She didn't know what wa
The atmosphere grew tense as Toni drove the car at high speed. His sharp gaze seemed to cut through the bustling city streets filled with motor vehicles. Dea, sitting in the passenger seat, could only remain silent, even though her mind was filled with question marks."Why does he look so tense?" Dea wondered about her driver's condition. However, she didn't voice the question, fearing it might disturb the driver's concentration.Meanwhile, Toni swerved the steering wheel left and right repeatedly. When Dea looked in the rearview mirror, she realized that their car was being pursued by two motorcycles. The two riders were dressed in black suits and leather jackets. Their intensity was evident from their aura. Realizing this, Dea could only take a deep breath and relax her body as much as possible to avoid tension. She was already happy enough to spend time with Mr. Hando. She didn't want to ruin her mood over unclear issues like this.While enjoying the moment, suddenly Dea's body jer
Dea, who was lying on the bed, suddenly felt the urge to turn on her phone, which was previously turned off. For some reason, something was bothering her. The flat device, once lifeless, was now brought back to life by the woman. She gazed at the screen with an expressionless face, assuming there was nothing there. However, her assumption was wrong. There were several messages and calls from an unfamiliar number. Yet, Dea knew it was Mr. Bad. She immediately started reading the messages.Before she could finish reading the texts sent by the man, a call suddenly came in. Dea paused for a moment, feeling vibrations in her hand. When she deemed it sufficient, she finally slid the telephone icon upwards. The ticking seconds appeared on the screen."Finally, you answered my call, Dea. I've been trying to reach you for a while, but it's been difficult because your phone was off," Mr. Bad said, relieved, from the other end of the line."What's the matter?" Dea asked, cutting straight to the
Aiden looked at her with a meaningful expression, leaving Dea, who had just stepped out of the room, surprised. It was the first time she had seen such a unique expression on his face. Reflecting on her time spent with Aiden, she realized that they had very little interaction. Out of the many hours they had spent in this grand and modern residence, Dea had mostly interacted with Toni.Confused by the sudden change, she chose to leave Aiden. He was still frozen, gazing at her strangely."Why is he acting like that?" she murmured, curious, while in the elevator. She even continued wondering after the elevator doors closed, shaking her head to dismiss any odd assumptions about Aiden. She headed to the dining table."It's better to focus on my food. That's more useful than pondering Aiden's strange behavior. He's acting like a madman," she muttered as she impatiently walked. An array of delicious food was already set up and ready to be devoured."Good evening, Madam," Asih greeted upon se
