The sound of a mobile phone ringing so loudly that both humans, who were struggling with warmth, immediately opened their eyes. Brian woke up first and immediately reached for the mobile phone on the nightstand. His eyes blinked a few times when he saw who was calling him this early in the morning.

It certainly didn't work because Brian differentiated between business and personal numbers. And the one ringing at the moment was the personal phone.

His eyes squinted when he saw his father-in-law's contact listed there. He blinked a few times to make sure it wasn't a dream.

"Who is calling?" asked Vio while stretching her muscles that felt stiff from hugging Brian all night. Brian looked at Vio briefly, although he didn't answer her question afterwards. The man sat up. He cleared his throat a few times and then picked up the call.

"Hello, Dad."

Vio, who did not receive a reply, sat down and opened her ears wide because she saw Brian's face so tense. Vio was sure that the person calling w

    Instantly, Brian's hand grip loosened. He didn't even realise it when Wijaya brushed his hand away."Daddy, you know?" he stuttered."What do you mean?" From behind Brian, the mother-in-law looked shocked to hear the reality that her husband said. She turned to Brian and hit him on the arm. "What have you done, Brian? What woman is Daddy talking about?""That's ...." Brian swallowed back his words. He himself was at a loss as to how to explain everything."Get the hell out of here! I no longer recognise you as part of this family. Immediately divorce Azzura, and I will take care of my daughter's family!" Wijaya said, which immediately made Brian's heart feel like it stopped beating."Daddy can't be like that! I will not divorce Azzura. After all, it was Azzura who asked me to remarry!" Brian shouted until his voice echoed throughout the room. He was not the one who wanted this second marriage.Wijaya laughed loudly, but there was a flash of hatred in his eyes. "You will still divorce

    "Sir. Mr. Mark Sutopo wants to see you." Brian frowned as Risa mentioned the name of the person he hated the most."Do we have an appointment with him?" asked Brian as he returned to his work. He examined the report that Risa had brought in earlier."No--""Then don't let her in!" said Brian, cutting Risa off. He wasn't in the mood to be disturbed, especially by Mark.Brian kept his head down, not realising that Risa was still standing in front of him. However, a few moments passed, and Brian felt strange because there was no sound of the door opening. Brian then looked up and found Risa looking at him with a worried gaze. She was even seen biting her lower lip to cover up the panic she was feeling."What is it again? Do you still have something to say?" Risa looked even more tense as her eyes met Brian's."Ehm ...." Risa swallowed harshly. "Mr. Mark has something to say about Miss Kyra."Brian's flat expression turned tense. His face hardened as his eyes began to turn red. "Why didn'

    Vio felt strange about Brian's behaviour after returning from work. The man seemed to want to talk to Vio, but instead he behaved in a way that confused Vio.Vio was curious, but because she was still angry, she just kept quiet. She would wait for Brian to say what his strange behaviour meant. She, who was cooking dinner, chose to focus on her cooking, acting as if Brian wasn't there.Brian was feeling restless after the conversation with Mark this afternoon. His mind wanted to tear apart the body of the man he hated the most, but Kyra's safety held him back. If he was rash, Brian was sure Mark would easily harm his only child.Mark showed him a video that made his blood boil with rage. His favourite child, who has been missing for days, turns out to be in Mark's hands. In the video, it appears that Kyra is in a room and is crying bitterly. Brian really wanted to go over and hug her. But what power was in front of him at that time was not the real Kyra."Let’s eat first." Brian gasped

    Mark smirked as he saw the woman he had wanted for some time now in front of his eyes. The woman who haunted his nights, made him so horny, and wanted her so badly."What do you want from me?" the woman in front of Mark asked out loud. There was no look of fear on her face. She even dared to lift her face and look into Mark's eyes very boldly. Mark felt so challenged and excited just by looking at each other like that. He even unconsciously licked his lower lip with interest.The woman was so disgusted by the gaze that was given to her, especially the lustful face that the man showed."You don't need to know. You are now mine because Brian has given you to me in exchange for his favourite daughter."Mark laughed very loudly because he felt he had won over Brian. He could suppress his enemy now and get what the man had."Yuck!" Vio spat at her right side. She smiled with a smirk, mocking the man in front of her. Although in front of her was Mark Sutopo, one of the business mafia in thi

    "Get lost, you bastard!" Vio shouted with a slap on the cheek of the man in front of her. Vio really used all the energy she had when slapping Mark until the man's head was slightly turned to the right.Mark was feeling hot and sore at the moment. However, there is something more painful: his heart. This was the first time a woman had dared to slap him on the cheek. The man's self-esteem seemed to be brought down to the lowest common denominator."Don't expect to touch me, you scumbag!" Vio's chest rose and fell as she said it. Her face hardened with chattering teeth. She was extremely disgusted to be near the barbaric man in front of her. "I swear I'll tear you apart if you dare to touch me!"Hearing Vio's threat, Mark raised one lip upward. He then turned his head back so that his eyes were now staring into Vio's eyes. With a quick movement, Mark's arm came forward and pressed Vio's neck until it made the woman feel suffocated. Her eyes bulged, and her breath became more and more la

    "Honey. I'm going to the foundation later. I have to convince Sarah to be a witness. Everyone must know about that man's depravity." Vio walked faster, trying to keep up with Brian's fast pace.Brian already had enough evidence to bring Mark down, but if Sarah spoke up, it would definitely make the man's punishment more severe."Yes, dear. I will continue to look for evidence so that Mark gets the death penalty, at least for life. He has committed too many crimes. So far, no one has dared to nudge him, but this time I swear that no one will be able to help him," Brian determined.Brian knew Mark as a cunning person. He always used the weaknesses of important people to gain support. But this time, Brian would not allow it. He had secured all the evidence Mark had, and now it was in his hands."Brian. I want to talk to you." Both Brian and Vio were shocked when suddenly Wijaya was in front of them. Vio swallowed harshly when she saw the figure of the man, she was so afraid of. The look

    "Honey! Look, our daughter can ride a bike!" Azzura dragged Adrian towards the courtyard. Her eyes were sparkling and she had a look of happiness on her face.Adrian smiled sadly as he looked at Azzura from the side. There was a tightness he felt seeing the woman he loved like this. Azzura's schizophrenia was in a phase that could hurt herself or others."Kyra! Be careful, girl! You'll fall!" Azzura was still looking at the empty yard. The yard Azzura was looking at was just a blank yard. However, in the woman's mind, there was Kyra riding a two-wheeled bicycle. The memory of when Kyra was five years old and could first ride a two-wheeled bicycle as her fifth birthday present.It was probably about fifteen minutes before Azzura's smile grew before the look on the woman's face changed drastically. Her eyes, which had been full of a twinkle of happiness, became sharp with a flash of hatred."Don't take my daughter!" Azzura shouted as she ran towards the empty courtyard. Adrian was start

    "Dad! Where's Mommy going? Why can't I meet Mommy?" protested Kyra as she sat her bum on the chair. The Pradipta family was currently having breakfast. Brian sat at the end of the chair, with Vio and Kyra on his right and left.Vio glanced at Brian to see how her husband would react when her daughter again asked about her mother. She felt both sad and sorry for Brian who could never answer Kyra's questions about Azzura."Um... let's eat first, dear. The food is getting cold." Vio tried to distract Kyra. But what she got now was a look in Kyra's eyes that implied deep hatred."You don't need to be so considerate, you're not my mom, so you don't need to call me 'darling'. It's disgusting to know!""Kyra!" snapped Brian, causing Kyra to immediately turn to her father."You dare to yell at me?" she asked with teary eyes."It's okay. I'm fine." Vio touched Brian's hand and stroked it to calm him down. It had been about a month since the family became heated. Precisely when Kyra found out a

    The air felt heavy, as if the remaining oxygen was dwindling. The wall clock ticked slowly, each second sounding like an eternity. Five people sat there in silence, each trapped in their own thoughts.On the long sofa, Anthony Wijaya sat with his wife, Wening. They stared intently at Brian, who looked dishevelled in front of them. He hadn't stopped fidgeting since his wife had gone into hysteria because of him. Next to Brian was Kyra, still visibly shocked, witnessing the reality of her mother's condition.In the corner of the room, Adrian stood, leaning against the wall. He folded his arms in front of his chest, his eyes constantly watching the four people in front of him. The atmosphere in the room was more chilling than a cemetery. Even for Adrian, this was more horrifying than encountering a ghost.Although he was Azzura's best friend and doctor, he was confused by the situation. Both sides were unable to reconcile. Although Mr. Wijaya seemed more lenient than usual, he still felt

    The father and daughter stared at each other for a long time. There was a sense of longing conveyed in Brian's gaze towards Kyra. He wanted to run and hug her, but he was also afraid that Kyra would reject him."Daddy…!" Finally, Brian felt relieved when Kyra approached him first. She ran and then hugged him. Brian happily returned Kyra's hug. He held Kyra tightly, as if he didn't want to let go anymore."Kyra, I miss you." One word that could explain all he had felt all this time. They had met a few times, but the closeness of a father and daughter had been lost for a long time."I'm sorry, Daddy. Forgive me for always blaming you. Forgive me for not understanding you." A sincere apology came from Kyra's small lips. She also longed for this, hugging her father with feelings of love and affection."No, dear. I am the one who needs to apologise to you for being selfish and never understanding you."Wening and Anthony Wijaya just watched silently. Although they were upset with Brian's s

    Kyra remained silent after meeting Vio. She was still pondering over what had been said. For a long time, she had turned a blind eye and deaf ear to what happened to her parents. She simply wanted to blame Vio for everything that had happened.Kyra still held the agreement in her hands. Several times, she only glanced at it and was afraid to open it again. She still couldn't believe that her mother had planned all this. She still denied that her mother had schizophrenia.Kyra shook her head. "This can't be true, right?" Kyra asked more of herself. She took a deep breath and then lifted her head, which had been bowed down.Kyra remembered her grandfather, who had been in Switzerland for the past few days. Vio had mentioned earlier that her father was in Switzerland to pick up her mother. Could her grandfather have been with her mother all this time?"Sir! Can you go faster?" Kyra commanded the driver, who responded with a nod. The car sped up faster than before. Kyra sat anxiously in t

    After hearing everything from Handoko, Vio decided to visit her mother's grave. Handoko had never told her about her mother, always keeping the truth hidden. Vio had grown accustomed to not asking. The most important thing for her was that she had a great father.Vio sat in front of the tombstone for a while, saying nothing. She didn't know how to address her mother because she had never done so in her life.With her mouth still closed, Vio began to move her hand to pull out the weeds growing on the mound of earth. Occasionally, her eyes would glance at the name on the tombstone."I wish I knew you before, Mom. I’m sorry it took so long for me to come here." Vio took a deep breath, trying to hold back the tears that threatened to fall. Although she didn't know anything about her mother, Vio could feel the sadness her mother had experienced. Thankfully, Handoko had finally made her stay, even if it wasn't for long.No more words came out of Vio's mouth. She just wanted to enjoy this mo

    Wijaya didn't forbid Brian from coming after that incident. He was pleased to see Azzura becoming more cheerful. Although he would occasionally flare up in anger, Azzura's smiles were more frequent.Every day, Brian came with Adrian and always accompanied Azzura, whether reading novels or knitting. He was so attentive and meticulous in caring for Azzura that he seemed to forget about Vio's existence. He hadn't even contacted Vio since that day.Vio kept glancing at her phone. It had been days since her husband left without any news. Naturally, she was worried that something bad had happened to Brian. Brian had only called once when he left the airport on his way to the hotel."What's wrong, dear? Why do you look so anxious? Hasn't Brian contacted you?" Handoko emerged from his room. His right hand pressed a button, causing his wheelchair to move automatically.Vio winced. She hadn't even told her father about this, so how could he know?Vio shook her head. "No, Dad.

    Wijaya strode quickly towards Azzura's bed. He then grabbed the back of Brian's shirt and shoved him hard, sending him crashing into the wall. Still not satisfied, Wijaya moved closer to Brian and pulled off the wig he was wearing. Wijaya's face turned crimson when he realized that Brian had been with his daughter all along.From the moment he saw the man carrying Azzura, Wijaya had suspected it was Brian. After all, there was no way Adrian would allow another man to touch Azzura. And this time, his suspicion was confirmed. Wijaya was furious to learn that Adrian had deceived him."What are you doing here? Didn't I tell you not to look for Azzura anymore?" Wijaya snapped at Brian. His blood was boiling because he couldn't stand the thought of Brian touching Azzura again. Even though Wijaya knew that Brian's second marriage was Azzura's wish, he hadn't accepted it yet. He didn't care who Brian was with now, but he didn't want Brian with Azzura anymore.Brian, who had been silent until

    "What's going on, Adrian?" The sound of a familiar voice stopped them in their tracks. Both Brian and Adrian were so scared that neither of them turned around."Adrian! Why are you just standing there?" The sound of footsteps approaching forced Adrian to turn around. He smiled, greeting Mr. Wijaya as the older man drew closer. He hadn't expected the old man to arrive earlier than usual."Uh... I sedated Azzura because she was having a fit earlier, Uncle," explained Adrian, shifting his body to cover Brian's back. Even though Brian was still disguised, there was a chance Mr. Wijaya might recognise his son-in-law. After all, they had been father-in-law and son-in-law for quite some time.Mr. Wijaya sighed deeply. "Is there any treatment that can fully cure her? I'll pay anything." It was the despair of a father facing his daughter's condition. Azzura was his only child, and she was his world. He couldn't believe she would suffer from a mental illness like this.Adrian shook his head fee

    The sound of Adrian's car horn caught the attention of the guard at the gate. Upon realizing it was Adrian's car, they opened the gate."Has Mr. Wijaya arrived?" Adrian asked the guard opening the door for him. Before answering, the guard glanced at the man sitting next to Adrian. His furrowed brow showing doubt about the person Adrian brought.Adrian, realizing this, briefly glanced at Brian. "Ah... this is my assistant. I brought him because I need his help. Azzura's condition is very bad, and I'm afraid she might hurt me."Brian pondered upon hearing Adrian's words. Was his wife's condition really that severe?"Don't make a scene!" Brian turned when Adrian said something. Adrian had just closed the car window and was about to drive off.Brian remained silent, looking confused. Eventually, he opened his mouth and asked, "Is Azzura's condition really that bad?" Half of his soul felt wounded after hearing Adrian's earlier statement. He couldn't ima

    Brian drove recklessly despite the terrible weather conditions. The heavy snowfall obstructed his view. However, Brian managed to catch up with Adrian's car and cut him off, forcing Adrian to abruptly stop his vehicle.Brian slammed the car door shut, creating a loud noise. He quickly walked towards Adrian and began pounding on the man's car window."Adrian! Come out!" Emotions had taken over Brian, making him impatient. As Azzura's husband, he was not allowed to meet with her, so why could Adrian meet her?Adrian remained quiet for a while. He took a deep breath, trying to remain calm, and after a few moments, he opened his car door."What are you doing? Why are you behaving like a thug?" Adrian raised his face, indicating he wasn't afraid of Brian. Both men stared at each other sharply, each harboring resentment.Anger consumed Brian to the point where he couldn't remain calm. His hand suddenly reached out and grabbed Adrian's shirt collar. "Tell me! Is Azzura in that house?" Brian'
