“Royal company is crawling into Corporation Pa. They are targeting companies that have joined JagadRaya Corporation to join them. I was only given two months to stabilize the company. Can your executions be sped up again?” he said. He didn't want to beat around the bush, getting straight to the point.
"Two months huh?" Wijaya stares at his son-in-law.
"That's right Dad."
"Can be. But like my advice yesterday, don't tell anyone about our problems and movements. Even the higher-ups in your company Aiden. Only you and Kusuma know.”
"Yes, Daddy."
"Okay. I will ask them to speed up the movement, you just shut up don't let it leak. By the way, who met you?"
"Triyo and Jamono."
Wijaya nodded his head several times. "Do you have fifty thousand dollars?"
Aiden was speechless, that the company didn't have that much cold money. Most of them are very tight for JagadRaya Corp

“Mr. Hando is sick and is being treated at the hospital. I brought it, but now I'm leaving it to Toni," answered Dea. "What's wrong with him?" "Complications had a mild stroke." "Huh..." Wijaya took a deep breath. "Who would have thought that someone as strong as Hando could get seriously ill." "Em..." Dea muttered but never said anything. "Why?" With a confused look in her eyes. But in the end, the woman said, “Unfortunately... Mr. Hando suddenly disappeared. Toni said he was transferred by his grandson to another hospital. So I'm not up to date." "He has grandchildren?" “He has, um... but Mr. Hando doesn't admit it. I don't know why, but there was a conflict when his grandson came. Mr. Hando was not angry with me, but his grandson was angry at me because it was considered presumptuous to take Mr. Hando without the family's knowledge and Mr. Hando asked me to call him father, this made Devano even more angry. Toni has

It took a few minutes for Bella to come to her senses."Good grief! I was so shocked that I froze like this.” The woman went straight to the office and prepared various tasks that her boss had to do. "Who was that girl? I've never seen one," Bella muttered. Even though her hands were busy managing the computer and some of her reports. Her mind was still on the woman Aiden was holding."Are the preparations complete?" asked Aiden who suddenly came into the study. Behind there is Sinta who brings drinks."Already Mr." Bella was a little surprised."Good." Aiden immediately sat down in his work chair, Sinta withdrew after placing black coffee on Aiden's desk.“This is all my work today?” he asked."Yes, Mr. Aiden. Do you want to do work tomorrow?” she offered. In fact, she only served one day's work."Yes."Bella smiled, that answer meant that tomorrow she could take a vacation even for one day."Tom

Toni's name appeared on the phone call. One was an unknown number, but she knew that the man had terrorized her and even shot at her bedroom wall some time ago. Dea picked up the driver's phone first because she knew what the man would discuss.“Evening madam. I've seen Mr. Hando. As expected, there's a grandson.""Is Mr. Hando okay?""His body is still installed with a lot of cables. I just don't think it's getting better. Plus I heard a fight between the Old Man and granddaughter.”Dea was silent, 'Why are Mr. Hando and Devano like Tom and Jerry? Even though his condition was sick. If this is the case, when will he recover?’ thought the woman. He was a little upset to hear this news because he thought Devano could take care of Hando better than he could. In reality, the old man's condition was getting worse.“Madam? What should I do?” called Toni impatiently waiting for the next order. The sound broke Dea's thoughts."Go home.""Just like this?""Then, what should I do?"“Humph! Ok

"Sorry Madam. I quickly find out. Please don't get out of the car." Toni looked seriously at Dea. "Whatever happens, please don't come out."The woman just kept quiet and did not answer the driver's request."Please," begged Toni with a pitiful face."Okay. Be careful."The man nodded his head firmly. His eyes were burning, while Dea was filled with worry.She watched seriously the interaction between Toni and the two men who confronted them. The stranger was carrying a blunt object like a baseball bat. While Toni looks alert.“Actually, what's wrong? Why can't my life settle down like this!?” annoyed Dea. She expected a fight to break out there. “Is he going to be fine against those two?”Toni was arguing with one of the men, but the other swung his staff straight at the man. Dea's eyes widened seeing that, and her mouth suddenly shouted, "Toni!"She wanted to get out of the car but all the doors were locked. Luckily Toni immediately lowered his head so the attacker only hit the air.

Because Toni's footsteps were longer than Dea's, it was easier for the man to reach his master in a short distance."Please, madam." Toni gave his mistress a sedative. Dea's breath hitched as her mind turned to the past. Her memories of the car being crushed, the blood pooling on the dashboard, her fiancé lying on the steering wheel, and people wishing for their death.“Argh!” she groaned in pain. She pressed against her chest wishing her memories would fade away. This was torturous for the woman.While Toni immediately drove the car. The training he did with Wijaya was very useful for dealing with Dea.'If Dea's illness recurs, immediately give her medicine and then take her to rest. Just keep an eye on her, let Dea deal with her thoughts. You just need to take care of her so that Dea doesn't hurt his body.' Toni remembered that message. 'My job is to keep madam from hurting herself!' he remembered, his body trying to divide focus towards the street and his mistress.He saw Dea leani

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

Aiden answered his wife's question with a nod. Aiden nodded slowly, leaving Dea silent in confusion. Behind the seemingly simple nod, there was a deep seriousness in the man's gaze as if he had carefully considered the answer for a long time."Yes, I agree," Aiden answered without hesitation, his calm voice containing a certainty that could not be ignored. “If that's what you want, I can consider it.”Dea was stunned, not expecting this response to come so easily from Aiden. He stared at the man in front of him, trying to look for signs that this was just a game or a trick. However, Aiden's eyes seemed sincere, implying something deeper than just words."Are you serious?" Dea repeated, her voice shaking, half in disbelief. “You… don't mind if child custody falls to me?”Aiden stared at him for a moment longer before answering. "Yes, Dee. Maybe all this time I have been too fixated on the idea that a child must be the heir who maintains the family name. But,” he paused as if searching

Aiden thought to himself, his conscience seemed dead when he heard Dea's words. Aiden only wants an heir to inherit from his parents. He couldn't deny it, but his pride felt tarnished. The man chose to leave the room to calm himself. Asih, who had worked for Aiden's family for a long time, watched her employer with a caring gaze. He had watched the man since childhood, and to him, Aiden was like his own son. With calm steps, he approached and placed a tray with a cup of warm coffee on the small table beside his mistress."Please, sir," said Asih in a soft but authoritative voice. "Warm coffee can help calm the mind."Aiden looked at Asih for a moment, then nodded and said thank you without saying much. Asih noticed something different in the expressions of her foster children. The feeling of anxiety and confusion that was rarely seen in Aiden disturbed him.Asih dared to ask, "Sorry if I'm being presumptuous, Mr. Aiden. There's something on your mind, sir, isn't it?"Aiden was silent

That morning, sunlight seeped through the curtains, warming the room with its golden rays. Dea and Aiden lay in the same bed after a night filled with complexity. The air between them felt heavy with awkwardness, and neither spoke for a moment, both avoiding each other's gaze.Dea opened her eyes, sensing the tension. She glanced at Aiden lying beside her, his face calm, though her own heart was racing. Quickly, she pulled the blanket over herself, feeling a bit self-conscious about the situation.“Good morning,” Aiden said softly, his voice barely audible. Dea just nodded, too unsure to reply. The discomfort between them was palpable, like an invisible wall separating them despite their physical closeness.Aiden searched for words to break the silence. “Last night… uh, that didn’t go exactly as planned, did it?” he asked hesitantly, trying to keep the conversation light, though his heart was pounding.Dea managed a faint smile, still uncomfortable. “Yeah, you could say that,” she res

A few days later, Dea was as healthy as ever. Rara had taken great care of her employer, which had a significant impact on her recovery."Is there anything you need, Madam?" Rara asked after checking her blood pressure.Dea shook her head."Alright. In that case, Madam, you can rest."The servant closed the bedroom door softly. She didn't want to disturb her employer with any noise pollution. However, just as the door was about to close completely, Aiden barged in. Rara quickly lowered her body, but Aiden paid no attention to her."There's something important we need to discuss," Aiden said to his wife without preamble. Dea simply stared at him without responding."My parents have given me a condition to remain their primary heir," the man paused for a moment. His pupils trembled slightly as he looked at Dea. "The condition is a grandchild. They want a grandchild from us. What do you think?" Aiden quickly swallowed the saliva that had gathered in his mouth.Dea remained silent for a w

Asih carefully chose one of the new servants to approach. The two women stared at each other for a moment, and eventually, the one standing on the right took three steps forward and began to speak, "Mr. Aiden, allow me to introduce myself."The man addressed by the woman nodded coldly."I'm Rara, 24 years old, assigned as both a servant and personal nurse to Madam Dea. I graduated from the health academy three years ago with 2 years of work experience in the National Medicane hospital in the capital. In-""Enough," Aiden interrupted, not wanting to waste more time. Asih quickly called another servant to step forward."Mr. Aiden, allow me to introduce myself." Again, Aiden only nodded."Nina, 25 years old. Here, I serve as a personal servant and nutritionist for Madam Dea. I graduated from National Louis University three years ago with 1 year of work experience at Camberg Office.""Yes.

The sweet nickname made Elvaro smile. If before, he stomped his feet to walk, now the steps of his shoes felt softer and rhythmic, reflecting the user's feelings. He approached the woman sitting at her desk with a gaze full of love. The presence of the woman felt like a blessing in the chaos of the company."Since when have you been here, Bae?" Elvaro asked as he approached Wendy. Yes, it was Wendy, Aiden's girlfriend.The woman pursed her lips as sweetly as possible. "Since a while ago. I've been waiting for you for 30 minutes. But you didn't show up." Wendy began to put her arm around the man's shoulders. She slowly inhaled the gentle scent of his cologne. Elvaro could feel Wendy's breath on him. He immediately put his arm around her waist."Sorry, Bae. I was in Aiden's office earlier. We had a lot of reports to review."Wendy raised both of her eyebrows. "Is Aiden at the office today?""Yes. Do you want to go there?"Wendy fell silent but eventually answered, "No. Today, I want to

Because she was accustomed to seeing the old house deserted, discovering a foreign car parked haphazardly made Dea wonder who was visiting her father."Madam, we'd better go inside together. Let me park first," Toni cautioned, sensing a foreboding creeping into his heart. Dea agreed with her friend's suggestion.'For some reason, I feel that something bad is about to happen,' Dea thought, her hand clenched. Sweat moistened her palms, and her anxiety was so strong that it triggered a stress response within her body.When the car was neatly parked in the front yard, Toni quickly opened the door for his employer. Dea slowly walked towards Hando's house. Faintly, she could hear commotion inside, and she heard Devano's voice several times."Calm down, Ma," Devano exclaimed in frustration. Dea could clearly see the man's face. Unfortunately, Devano didn't notice Dea's presence. Hando, who appeared to be in good health, could only heave a sigh for a moment, but his eyes were fixed when he sa

Getting caught by her husband made Toni confused about what to say. Dea asked him to hide today's events, while Aiden was now in an angry mood."I'm sorry, Sir, I can't answer that. You can ask Madam directly. However, Non Dea's condition is likely dropping again because she didn't have breakfast and didn't take her medicine," Toni explained with slightly trembling fingers.Aiden stared sharply at his wife's driver. "So, where were you earlier?""At Madam's friend's house.""Was it a man or a woman?" Aiden probed."Both men and women.""Are you keeping something from me?"Toni remained silent, reluctant to speak up."Great!" Aiden nodded. "It turns out you're conspiring with Dea."Toni could only swallow his saliva."Now you can rest, leave.""Am I fired, Sir?" Toni was shocked by the word 'leave' that came out of his employer's mouth."No, just take a break. You've been with Dea all day," Aiden expl
