Malisa's POV
I must keep everything under control. There’s no way I can lose to Eric and just hand everything over. Losing my most precious treasure, my daughter Serena, has already been painful enough. This time, I must be smarter and more strategic in facing this situation.A strong defense is key. I cannot repeat the same mistakes of being too trusting and naive. Assuming everything will be fine without controlling it is a fatal error. I have given Eric trust that he should not have accepted. Now I realize that he is untrustworthy, and all his actions are for his own benefit.With this new awareness, I begin to formulate a plan. Every step must be carefully considered. I need to gather evidence and information that can support my position. Monitoring Eric and Lina's movements is crucial. They might think that everything will go smoothly, but I will not let them ruin my reputation without a fight.Strategizing is the first step. I start compilinMalisa's POV In an instant, all the love and sacrifices I had given felt wasted. I had to fight harder to prove that I was innocent. This sadness and anger needed to be transformed into strength to combat all the lies he had spread.It seemed Eric realized I was recording our conversation. He quickly started to throw accusations and provoke me to become even more emotional. His goal was clear: to make me say something irrational and lose control. He hoped to portray me as unreasonable, so everything I did could be misinterpreted.Every word that came out of his mouth made me feel cornered. I could sense his manipulative tactics trying to divert attention from the mistakes he had made. He wanted to provoke a reaction from me, and I couldn't let that happen. If I got trapped in his game, everything could backfire on me.With full awareness, I chose to end the call before the situation worsened. I didn't want to get caught in his cunning strategy and giv
Malisa's POV For a moment, I tried to take deep breaths to calm myself. However, the noise of the crowd outside made me even more anxious. If I went out, what would happen? Would they understand my situation, or would it make things worse?As my thoughts wandered, I realized I needed to take steps to protect myself. It might be better to stay inside, looking for ways to handle this situation from a distance. I had to plan a strategy to face whatever might come."What about you, Mrs. Malisa? Are you going to meet them?" my employee asked, looking anxious. "I'd better not for now, as I'm very worried that many things could spiral out of my control if I start to speak out. I don’t want to trigger more problems. I think I just need to keep quiet for a while, until my emotions are truly stable and I can have good control to speak in public," I replied, declining. The fear of causing more issues made me determined to keep my distance from this
Malisa’s POV “Yes, of course, because I think if I go outside without a disguise, it would be very dangerous. I don’t want to lose control, so I’ll take precautions by disguising myself when I’m out there,” I said confidently. “Alright, Mrs. Malisa, I’ll prepare everything you need for the disguise. Wait for me until I return here. I’ll make sure it’s quick if nothing hinders me outside. I hope everything goes smoothly without any obstacles,” he said before leaving to find what I needed.I waited patiently, hope and tension mixing within me. The employee quickly left to find the props I needed for the disguise later. In my heart, I hoped this disguise would be effective enough. I wanted to ensure that no one could detect my presence, especially those searching for Malisa.While waiting, my mind drifted to various possibilities. What if this disguise failed? That fear continued to haunt me, but I tried to stay focused. Each passing second felt heavier, an
Malisa's POVI shouldn't have used my personal car for this disguise. Therefore, I decided to order an online taxi. When the taxi arrived, I tried to remain calm and inconspicuous. During the ride to the car rental, I kept thinking about the steps I needed to take. Everything had to look neat and controlled to avoid drawing attention.Upon arriving at the car rental, I quickly got out. The rental process went smoothly. I had prepared all the necessary documents, ensuring that nothing would raise suspicion about my intentions. After completing the transaction, I received the keys to the rental car. With this new vehicle, I felt safer continuing with my plan.After leaving the rental place, I immediately drove in a different direction, trying to cover my tracks and avoid the usual routes I took. Driving carefully, I aimed not to attract attention. Every second felt crucial, and I knew I had to stay focused.Midway through the journey, I felt the nee
Malisa's POV As my meeting with her approaches, feelings of anxiety and hope swirl within me. I hope Mariana will bring good news—something that can make me feel a little relief and happiness amid this uncertainty. Every second feels like it’s dragging on, and I can’t wait to hear what she has discovered.Mariana always has a way of conveying information wisely. I know that whatever the outcome, she will present it in a way that makes me understand and prepares me for the next steps. Her openness in communication is one of the reasons I value her so much.When we finally meet, I hope to feel relief after all this pressure. With Mariana by my side, I am confident we will find the path to the truth I have been searching for."I'll make sure everything is wrapped up soon. Do you need me to arrange a meeting now, ma'am?" she asked, offering to meet."Yes, of course, I need a meeting for today. There are things I want to discuss further with you r
Malisa's POV As a strategic move, I wanted to ensure whether they had a deeper connection. Perhaps their accounts were linked as friends or followers. With full concentration, I began searching on social media. I opened Eric's profile and scrolled through his friends list. A sense of discomfort arose when I discovered that Eric's account had long been friends with Lina's account. This further strengthened my suspicions about their more complex relationship. They might seem ordinary on the surface, but there was something suspicious behind their interactions. I began recalling various moments I had experienced with Eric, especially when he spoke about Lina. There were times when his tone changed, as if there was something he wanted to hide. This connection could be part of a larger plan. I felt it was no coincidence that Eric had a close relationship with Lina. Perhaps they had been communicating without my knowledge, and that c
Malisa's POV "So far, I've obtained Lina's track record and background. It turns out Lina had a husband, or rather, she used to have one," she said, deepening my curiosity about the direction of this conversation. My curiosity intensified as Mariana began discussing the information she had gathered. I listened carefully as she explained Lina's personal data. Surprise after surprise emerged as Mariana revealed that Lina indeed had a husband, or more accurately, had once had one.This information was truly intriguing. It turned out there were layers about Lina that I hadn't known. I began to imagine how her relationship with Eric could be more complicated than I had previously thought. If Lina had such a background, there could be many things that needed to be uncovered.Mariana continued her explanation, providing further details about Lina's track record. She explained about Lina's personal life before meeting Eric, including the marriage she had exp
Malisa's POV Every piece of information I gather could be the key to understanding the dynamics at play.I decide not to give up. I must find a way to approach Eric and get the information I need without raising his suspicions. This isn't just about protecting myself; it's also about protecting our family. I feel that the truth must come to light soon, and I am determined to seek it out, no matter what happens. The realization that Eric's past might have a significant impact on my life and Serena's drives me further. I must find all the pieces of this puzzle and assemble the complete picture.I look at Mariana, trying to draw her attention back. "Mariana?" I ask, attempting to pull her out of her thoughts and demand the overdue answers."Yes, Ms. Malisa, sorry," she replies, as if just returning from a deep daydream. She seems reflective, as if thinking about something far beyond our conversation.My curiosity gnaws at me again. I want to kno
Malisa's POV I actually thought that Eric and Roby might be quite similar in character. My thoughts suddenly scattered, and I began to remember something more important. I immediately thought to call Mariana to schedule a meeting tonight at my house. I would start to share my suspicions with her, hoping she could provide insights on my temporary analysis and perhaps offer a solution to all of this.After a day filled with activities and trying to seek clarity, I finally arrived home feeling exhausted. My mind and body felt worn out from everything that had happened. Reluctantly, I collapsed onto the soft sofa, hoping to rest a little before Mariana arrived. While waiting, I turned on the television, looking for some entertainment to distract me from all that weighed on my mind.Since that major incident, I felt a bit traumatized by social media. Every time I opened the apps, it felt like facing an increasing pressure. My social media feeds seemed to turn
Malisa's POV Time passed, and I continued to wait. Every sound from outside made me alert, my hope burning that Roby would appear at the door. In my heart, I prayed that everything was alright. Anxiety began to creep in, but I tried to stay calm. This was an important moment, and I didn't want to miss the chance to speak directly with Roby.While waiting, my thoughts drifted back to the encounter with Eric and Lina. What had happened between them? Why did they look so anxious? All those questions haunted me, but I knew that once Roby arrived, I would soon have my answers.Time continued to pass, and even though I had waited a long time, there were no signs that Roby would come home. The day grew darker, and anxiety began to overwhelm me. I knew it was impossible to stay here any longer without certainty.Finally, I decided to call my guard. I assigned him the task of watching over the place, hoping he could help monitor the situation. At least I felt
Malisa's POV With full concentration, I continued my journey. The road felt familiar, and each second brought me closer to the long-awaited meeting. Finally, I arrived at my destination.Seeing his house, I was shocked. It was small and looked a bit shabby, far from my image of Roby's home. I couldn't believe my friend lived in a place like this. Memories of the past raced through my mind—how Roby was always cheerful and full of spirit, even though his situation now seemed different.I got out of the car and began walking toward his house. It looked inhabited, but it appeared neglected, making me feel a little disgusted. The peeling paint and the yard filled with weeds added to the gloomy impression. Strangely, the front door was wide open, revealing a messy interior.I tried calling Roby's name, but no one responded. The silence made me feel uncertain. "Roby!?" I called again, hoping my voice could stir him. However, only silence greeted me, fi
Malisa's POV "You clearly wouldn't know Roby; when he was our neighbor here, you were still very young. Let me talk to the caller; give me the phone!" the mother said, asking to speak to me directly.It seemed her child had handed the phone to her. The mother's voice began to greet me on the line."Sorry, ma'am, are you indeed asking about Roby's whereabouts?" the middle-aged woman asked me."Yes, of course, ma'am. Sorry for disturbing your time with your family. Let me introduce myself, I’m Malisa," I said, starting to introduce myself.This straightforwardness made the atmosphere feel warmer. I could sense sincerity in her voice, and my hope rekindled. The woman paused for a moment, perhaps reminiscing about past memories related to Roby."Wait, your name sounds familiar. Are you one of those famous people in this country?" the middle-aged woman asked, as if trying to remember something."Oh, you must be mistaken. A name l
Malisa's POV I quickly explained the situation I was facing. “I’m looking for Roby, and I’m having trouble getting information about him. I need your help to find out more, maybe through your friends or your network.”Mariana listened attentively, noting every detail I described. She has an incredible ability to connect people and find information in unexpected places. I felt relieved knowing that I wasn’t alone in this search.“Now you go to the place where I used to go to school. I will send you the address via text. Go to the operator and administration section to inquire about the student profile data from my cohort. You can focus on Roby's personal data,” I said in detail, ensuring all steps were clear. “Once you get that, you can trace his address and go there.”Mariana listened intently, absorbing every piece of information I offered. “Okay, Mrs. Malisa, I will carry out that task immediately,” she replied, ready to proceed. Her enthusiasm made
Malisa's POVMariana determined that Roby was the key player in this matter. The realization of how important he was left me feeling confused about where to search. However, I was confident I could find him through my other friends, especially those who had gone to school with us. It seemed unlikely that among all my schoolmates, none would have maintained contact with Roby.I began to think that at least one, if not more, of my friends must still be in touch with Roby. Perhaps they knew his whereabouts or even had his latest address. This information was crucial for my upcoming efforts. Yes, I needed to contact my friends one by one to keep this confidential and ensure my plan went smoothly.With a resolute determination, I opened my contacts list on my phone. The names there reminded me of various memories, both sweet and bitter. I began to formulate a plan to reach out to them, selecting those I thought would be most likely to help. Each message I compo
Malisa's POV My conviction grew that both had conspired and were involved in criminal activities directed at me and Serena.This was truly outrageous, and I knew they had to be stopped to send a strong message. I couldn't slack off in this effort. My spirit burned brighter; they had to face the consequences of their actions that ruined my life. Taking my child's life in vain was something I could not forgive.Every step I took would be filled with determination. I would gather evidence, trace their connections, and uncover all information that could link them in this conspiracy. The pain I felt would be the driving force to keep moving forward, no matter how difficult the path.I planned strategic steps, ensuring every detail was attended to. I would bring them to court, and I was determined to see justice served. They would regret creating such enormous and fatal chaos in my life.I found myself lost in thought, reflecting on everything that
