Brian came home earlier than usual. He's too tired. This afternoon he had to visit the project site in the Kepulauan Seribu. His company handled the construction of apartments there. The man was standing beside the bed with his right hand gently rubbing the back of his neck. He moved his head left and right, trying to eliminate the fatigue that kept chasing him. Brian took a long, flat object from his trouser pocket and dialled one of the contacts. "Hello, Vincent. Any progress?" he asked directly without further ado. It had been a few days, and it was sure that his men had discovered something about his wife. "Mrs Azzura often visits a clinic." "Clinic? Is Azzura sick?" he muttered. "The owner of the clinic... Adrian Raharja." "What?!" The name was familiar to Brian. The name of a man who always adores his wife. Even though he knew that Azzura had chosen him. "Why did Azzura go to Adrian's place?" Brian squeezed his hand. He was angry and also furious. "Sorry, Sir. I can't fo
Vio panicked because she couldn't find Kyra anywhere. 'Where is the girl?' Vio thought. "Has Kyra been found?" Someone tapped her on the shoulder. Vio saw Adrian, who was no less worried than her. Vio knows Adrian's feelings for Azzura. The loss of Kyra must have made Adrian devastated too. Vio shook her head slowly. "I should have chased her earlier." Vio immediately ambushed the feeling of regret. She had neglected to keep an eye on the girl who had now become her stepdaughter. Seeing Vio's guilty face, Adrian also regretted it. He was the one who told Vio not to respond to a sulking Kyra. "Argh...!" Adrian rubbed his face roughly. He's been all over the place. The toilet, the room, the storeroom, and now they were both outsides. But did not find the shadow of the little girl. Vio squatted. She was desperate at this time. What would Azzura tell her if anything happened to Kyra? Brian would hate her even more. "Come on! Look elsewhere!" Adrian patted Vio's shoulder, making the 20
Brian woke up from his sleep in the early morning. He was used to getting up before Azzura. His habits that never go away after 12 years of marriage are; seeing Azzura's sleeping face. It was so thrilling. His hand touched one side; he couldn't find his wife's body, which had warmed him last night. "Zura!" he exclaimed. He doesn't know why he suddenly felt terrible. Usually, he gets up first because he wants to hug his wife. Brian got up, his eyes darting around. There was no sign of his wife's whereabouts. The 35-year-old man walked toward the bathroom. Who knew his wife was there. "Azzura!" he called as he opened the bathroom door. Empty. Brian was wearing his t-shirt and underpants. He immediately left the room to find his wife's whereabouts. Last night, Brian felt that Azzura was about to say something. He could see that his wife had many secrets. "Where's Azura?" Brian asked one of his housekeepers. "I haven't seen Mrs Azzura in a while, Sir." "Where did Azzura go?" Brian
"Azzura disappeared?!" Vio shouted with an intonation that might wake a sleeping cat. She was completely taken aback by what Brian had just said. "This... Azzura disappeared in what sense? It's possible, and she went to Kyra's room." Brian shook his head. "I've been there, and she's not there," he answered weakly. He suddenly feels lethargic when he doesn't find his wife everywhere. Even he, who was usually very angry with Vio alone, had no desire to be angry. Either because he had realised his mistake or because of the tragedy that he, unfortunately, couldn't forget. This situation forked Brian's mind this time. While he was thinking about Azzura, he was also thinking about the body of the woman he had just seen. Brian had to try to get rid of his dirty thoughts. Couldn't he have licked his spit? "Maybe Azzura went to her parents' house. Have you asked them?" Of course, Vio was no less worried about Azzura's condition. After all, it was Azzura who had helped her and her family.
"Mommy went to Australia last night," Brian answered. The 11-year-old girl's forehead wrinkled. "That's it! Daddy wants to take Miss Vio to the hospital first." Again, Brian grabbed Vio's arm and walked past Kyra. He didn't know the correct answer if Kyra asked about his mother again. He couldn't lie to Kyra anymore. There were many questions that the girl wanted to ask, but her father left her just like that. She felt something strange. However, as a child, Kyra had no idea what it was. Now, the two adults were already in the car. Vio could only be silent when Brian dragged her somewhere. She couldn't understand Brian, who always blamed her. Even this time, she was no less sad than Brian. She also loves Azzura, despite their complicated status. "Where are we going?" Vio finally got up the courage to ask Brian where they were headed. "I don't know. Where should I look for Azzura?" Vio thought Brian would yell at her, but the girl was wrong. Brian looks desperate this time. Vio beca
Vio was very lucky. When she entered, Kyra had fallen asleep in her room. It was night. All day, she just walked around accompanying Brian looking for Azzura. In the room, Vio kept trying to contact Azzura. However, all in vain. Azzura's cellphone couldn't be reached at all. "What if Azzura had a bad time?" mumbled Vio alone. She was so afraid that something would happen to her. Despite her status as Brian's second wife, she had no feelings for her. Vio looked out the window. After taking Vio home, Brian hasn't come home yet. Where is that man? Vio became more nervous because the two people were not at home. "That's Brian's car." Vio was relieved when she saw her husband's car enter the yard. That's a sign that Brian is okay or even has found Azzura. With a face full of hope, Vio ran to the front door. Who knows they need help. The atmosphere in the front room was already very dark. The large crystal chandelier in the living room had been turned off, leaving only the light in the
Brian saw Vio as Azzura. He became unconscious. Passion arises when tasting the sweet honey on Vio's lips. The girl couldn't resist, even though she wanted to kick the guy. However, this is not harassment. The man deserves it. "Azzura, why don't you reply to me at all, Honey?" Brian broke the kiss. He looked down at Vio's face. His hand gently caressed her face. But, in Brian's eyes, it was Azzura, his wife. Vio closed her eyes. If that's what Brian said to her, maybe Vio would be touched by all of Brian's lovely treatment. But, Vio knows who the word love is for. "I'm not Azzura. I'm Vio," Vio said honestly. She didn't want Brian to continue to think of her as Azzura. It was so unfair to both Brian and her. "Lie!" Brian pulled his hand away from Vio. He squinted, glaring at the woman. "You must be lying. You want to avoid me, don't you? What did I do wrong with you, Zura...?" Brian looks so frustrated this time. He held his forehead, and a small sob came from him. "I love you s
"Damn! You're still a virgin! You're not Azzura!" Vio, who felt pain at the core, was more hurt when Brian said that. The man only saw Azzura in her. And stupidly, Vio floated when Brian spoiled her. Vio cried, feeling pain in the core and also in her heart. Brian may not love her. However, when making love to her, see Vio as himself, not someone else. Brian was furious, but the pleasure he felt made him forget his anger. He again cradled Vio with the scroll of pleasure and pain he gave simultaneously. Brian continued what he had started. He couldn't deny that Vio's was delicious. Brian didn't even care if Vio was crying down there. Brian kept babbling, mentioning Azzura's name with every moan. "Azzura!" cried Brian as he reached his release. The man collapsed beside Vio's body, hugging the woman possessively. He fell asleep beside the body of a woman who had not stopped crying. 'If I'm sick, what about Azzura?' Vio thought. She still couldn't figure out why Azzura had asked her
