As it is now, in silence fresh blood runs down a woman's forehead. Pain spread all over her body, soft glass shards stuck to her smooth white skin, and the car cabin was shattered in front of him.
The glass that originally served as a protector from danger now backfired injuring her body. With a blur of vision, she saw her lover covered in blood in the driver's seat. She was surprised to find the man's head stuck in the steering wheel. She heart was beating so hard, her body had goosebumps and pain at the sight of blood. Her body became stiff and difficult to move. With a blurry vision, the woman looked at her lover's lips which smiled faintly.
"Is this our death?" she asked softly to her lover. She really cursed her fate.
Someone came to them, “May you rest in hell. Dee...”
The woman's eyes darkened completely after hearing those words.
A woman walked into the meeting room, everyone was looking at her with happy smiles. It seemed so sincere that it made him suspicious. What is going on?Curiosity welled up in Dea's body, she was forced by her mother to attend this meeting."Come here, honey," her father called.Dea immediately approached Wijaya and sat beside him.Her brow furrowed, she didn't understand what was going on here. There are several strangers in this room."Introducing, this is Dea. My eldest daughter,” Wijaya introduced herself in front of everyone."Very beautiful sir," said the old woman. Dea just smiled at the compliment."What's this, huh?" Dea asked her father. Her heart tickled to see this strange meeting."We will match you, Sis. That man will be your husband,” explained Wijaya and pointed to a man who was the same age as her.Dea's eyes widened in disbelief."What!?" she screamed. She turned to her father in disbelief. She did not think that she would be betrothed to a man after experiencing a t
"Hahaha are you surprised?" asked someone on the other line. Dea was furious to see infrared stuck to her white dress."Crazy! What do you mean by doing like this?" Dea asked excitedly. How could it be on her wedding day to be given a terrible shot of a gun. Her heartbeat was working fast."Hahaha..." The person laughed giddily, he seemed to enjoy seeing Dea's emotion.“You laugh at people's suffering?!”Dea sighed roughly, these few days there were many unexpected things. However, today was even crazier."Ekhemm..." the person cleared his throat after being satisfied with laughing at the woman he called."Are you satisfied?" asked Dee."Of course I'm satisfied. The day after tomorrow meet me at the location I shared in the message."Ting! There was an incoming message on Dea's cell phone. And that is the share location that was just notified. The woman rolled her eyes, feeling embarrassed to respond to such an unknown person."At 15.00 WIB, we must meet as soon as possible. This is v
"Listen to my orders, Dea. This is for your safety, don't make me angry, "said Aiden. The man's face looked grim because he was holding back anger at his wife.“I also have important needs outside, you can't just order me like this Aiden. Remember the contents of our agreement," said Dea. This woman does not want to be controlled by anyone, even though it is her husband.Aiden just exhaled roughly. Dea is stubborn. Even though Aiden did this to keep Wijaya's daughter safe, Dea couldn't be controlled."It's up to you, if there is a problem you bear it yourself," said Aiden who immediately stood up from the dining room.After Dea finished her breakfast to the end. Then, he returned to the room and cleaned her body.When she was about to do her makeup, her cell phone rang again. Her father's name is listed there."Did dad miss me already?" the woman thought. A sweet smile plastered on her face."Hello?" said Dea."Hello dear," said Wijaya excitedly. "How are you darling?" the man asked h
The two people who were about to fight suddenly turned to Dea. Her voice managed to break the commotion."Keep your ethics, we are in the hospital," Dea scolded again.“Sorry madam, but this man forced to enter Mr. Hando's room. I carried out my duties according to Madam's orders, so I prevented him from entering," Toni explained. "But this man kept pushing me," he continued.This personal driver looked scared to see the sharp gaze that was issued by Dea."Good, you can be trusted Ton," said Dea to Toni. The man smiled with satisfaction, getting praise from his master was a very good thing. It could be that he will get more bonuses than Dea.A few seconds later, the woman looked curiously at the man who was about to enter Mr. Hando's room."Who are you? How dare you enter my room," the woman said.The stranger stared at the woman in front of him."Hey!" call Dee. The stranger's consciousness returned.“Oh! I want to visit my grandfather, Hando,” replied the man."Sorry! I can't," said
Not wanting to be outdone, Dea also stared intently at the woman who suddenly stopped her steps from entering the house. Very impolite, moreover Dea is the host here. How could a guest dare to be so rude to her."you knowing who I am, it's very important to you?" asked Dea slamming the grip of the woman in front of her.“Bitch! Don't you know who I am? How dare you act arrogant in front of me!”"Why not?""Bitch!" the woman's hand flew into the air ready to slap Dea's cheek. However, suddenly a strong hand held her down."Baby..." Aiden whispered with his eagle eyes. The woman immediately stuttered. While Dea stared intently at her husband without flinching in the slightest.'So she is Wendy? It's so sickening!' she thought when she saw the romantic scene between the two lovers."She first By. She's not polite to me," complained Wendy with her signature puppy eyes. Aiden glanced at Dea and took a deep breath."You wait a
Getting the message, made Dea think for a moment to make a choice. Mr. Bad annoys her very much, the endless spying makes her terrified. Moreover, to the private room. “Argh! Fucking man!” It was very unsettling to get terror from that man. A man she doesn't know, but he feels Mr. Bad is familiar to her. A very mysterious man. Krekkk ... the sound of the stomach broke her mind. She must fill the already heated stomach so as not to cause pain. “I better finish this food first. My stomach is already begging to be filled. In the end, Dea chose to ignore the message from Mr. Bad. She even had to turn off her cell phone so he could eat in peace because the man bombarded her with a lot of messages. After the food was flushed into her mouth, Dea immediately pushed the trolley out for the maid to take her away. In front of the room is very quiet. "I think they are in the kitchen." The woman immediately locked her bedroom door and relaxed on the couch. Her stomach felt full from
'Ginaya Apartment number 150. Come quickly before the victim falls!' wrote the letter.Dea's mood immediately dropped drastically when she received that threat. Words she hated so much, a cunning way to lure her out of the cage. This really sucks."Call Toni now!" Dea ordered Mrs. Asih who faithfully accompanied her. The woman immediately sped off to carry out orders from her master. The middle-aged woman's departure made Dea immediately grab the smartphone lying beside her. The phone line rang long enough to make Dea swear repeatedly."Hello..." a hoarse voice sounded on the other end.“Did you send this letter! What do you want damn it!” she snapped. Her emotions are now smoldering like coals of fire.“What letter? Why so early in the morning?"“Stop lying Mr. Bad. I know this is your doing.""Oh, Lord. I don't even know what letter you mean Dea. Take a photo of the contents, I'll find out who sent the letter."
"You shouldn't have come here," said the woman who had been freed by Dea."Shut up, my head is dizzy hearing your voice," complained Dea who was busy massaging her head. Toni was trying to open the door, but already 30 minutes had passed, and it still wouldn't open.Drrttt... drrttt... the vibration of the cell phone in her pocket made Dea pick it up spontaneously.“Go home. There will be guests at home," Aiden said over the phone. The woman immediately rolled her eyes."That's your guest, why should I come to welcome them?"“You are the CEO's wife. It is appropriate to welcome all my guests who visit my house. I don't want to know, just hurry home now."'Tut!' the phone cut off immediately. Confusion welled up within Dea. The man is now forcing her to fulfill her obligations as the CEO's wife, even though it was written in a written agreement that she was not allowed to interfere in each individual's affairs."Madam pleas
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. Please leave."Aiden concluded the introduction session for the new staff in his house. He immediate
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
Last night's conversation left Aiden deep in thought this mor
