Maria opened her eyes slowly, her body felt very weak. She tried to look around, found Jaccob sleeping on the sofa.
Not wanting to wake Jake, Maria finally tried to get up. His throat was so dry, she felt thirsty. She tried to take the glass on the table beside him.
Inadvertently, the IV line beside him moved, causing a sound that made Jake open his eyes.
Seeing what Maria was doing, made him immediately approach the woman.
"What do you want?" he asked.
"Thirst," said Maria weakly. Her usually red lips looked pale white.
Jake got the glass and helped Maria's bed slightly up. So that Maria can lean back a little.
Maria then drank slowly, she handed the glass back to Jake when the water was half down.
Maria smiled at Jacob. "Thanks, Jake," she said.
Jake smiled back a little, only briefly to make Maria oblivious of it. He glanced at his watch, it was almost dusk. Jake decided to go to the bathroom, took the basin provided
"Hey beautiful," Ashley said smiling at Maria."You... Why are you here? Oh no, I mean how did you know I was here?" Maria asked still surprised by Ashley's arrival."I told you, wherever you are, I'll know," said Ashley, handing Maria a bouquet of roses.Ashley turned to Rose and smiled at the middle-aged woman.Seeing Ashley's gaze made Maria turn to Rose as well. "Rose, he's Ashley my best friend," she said.Rose smiled and shook her hand at Ashley. She then said goodbye to clean up the leftovers from Maria.As soon as Rose walked out of the door, Ashley sat down beside Maria and held Maria's hand."You are okay?" asked Ashley.
"Jake," she said still in disbelief."Why?" asked Jake who came closer to Maria."You," said Maria, turning to Rose for a moment. "Rose said you were home, why are you here?" he added."Yeah, I decided to go back. Wanted to rip out the eyes of the guy you've just been with. But lucky, he's not here now," said Jake, looking at Maria sharply.Meanwhile, Maria just swallowed hard when she heard Jake's words."I'm going to ask the doctor to give you outpatient leave. I don't like leaving you alone in the hospital. He might see you every day," Jake said again.Maria took a deep breath. She glanced bored at Jake. Of course, she didn't play with his words. After a few minutes, some docto
When everyone got out of the car, Maria was still staring blankly. His mind was still reeling about what had just happened."Mary, hey Mary... Are you all right?" Jake asked getting into the car again when he didn't see Maria getting out.Maria turned her head quickly, her eyes blinking a few times. She tried to calm his very fast heartbeat. Then she turned to Jake and nodded."Come here," Jake said holding out his hand.Maria immediately accepted Jake's hand, she got out of the car and into the house.Inside the house, there were already several people standing up to greet them. One of them approached Maria and Jake."Are you guys all right? Is anyone hurt," asked Aciel.
Kenzo was dizzy because of Jake's sudden request. Since yesterday, he had been upset that all of Jake's work had been left to him. And this time, Jake asked her to prepare a romantic dinner.But he was a little happy that Jake found happiness with the woman of his choice. Although because of that now Jake rarely went to the bar.Now it was just him and Sean who were still wandering from one woman to another.~Today Jake asked Maria to stay home. She is not allowed to go to campus. Because Jake was still worried that Maria wasn't feeling well.This morning Jake said goodbye to go to the office. He didn't even hesitate to kiss Maria's forehead. Made Maria smiled to herself when she thought about it.
Tonight Jake invites Maria to dinner. Kenzo even became the driver because he knew where the location was where they had dinner.Maria came out of the room wearing a knee-length, sleeveless, salmon-colored dress. She curled her hair and adorned it with beautiful pearls of the same color as her dress. It's all thanks to Rose, Maria can look beautiful tonight.She went downstairs to find Kenzo and Jake already in the living room. Jake immediately threw the pillow when Kenzo's eyes did not leave Maria. He stared intently at his friend.Jake immediately stood up and walked over to Maria. He stretched out his hand and was immediately accepted by Maria."Are we going to a party?" Maria asked Jake. Her memory of the last time she dressed up was at a party. And it was the most u
"It's time for you to get out, Sera," said a shirtless man. Even though his hands and feet still hurt, but that didn't stop him from making love tonight."I prefer to be with you Lucas, I don't want to be with that cold man. I love you, Lucas," said Sera who covered her body with a blanket. His head rested on Lucas's chest."If you refuse, I could destroy your dreams right now. Remember, your parents are still in prison." Lucas said.Sera gritted her teeth, she loved Lucas, she even had the heart to imprison her parents for Lucas. But now what Lucas wanted was the exact opposite of Sera's will. Even though Sera had been close to that man before.Sera Maxwell, the first woman to warm Jake's bed. Yes, even though at that time Sera was no longer a girl, but Jake loved Sera.
Maria was focused on the sheets of paper in front of her when the door opened.Jake came in with Sera. The woman was still clinging to Jake's arm. They didn't even seem to see her.Jake sat in his chair and his eyes met with Maria's, who was staring at him sadly. Not wanting to be trapped, Jake averted his eyes."Go home, Sera, I have done what you want. Don't disturb me while working," said Jake, who was starting to get busy with his work.Sera drew closer to Jaccob, she shamelessly sat on Jake's lap and wrapped her arms around Jake's neck."Okay, I'm going home now. But tonight you have to accompany me," said Sera who immediately kissed Jake's lips.
Maria kept her promise to Lucas. She asked Jake's permission to go home, mind his business with his stepfather. But that was just a trick from Maria.When she arrived at the cafe she had promised, Lucas was already there. He immediately stood up to welcome Maria."Has it been a long time?" Maria asked Lucas hesitantly."Just relax," Lucas said, inviting Maria to sit down."Want a drink first or shall we go right away?" Lucas asked."Where are we going?" asked Maria back."Secret," Lucas sneered with a laugh.Maria immediately pouted at Lucas's words.They immediately left the cafe. Maria's
Mary's womb has entered the 35th week, meaning that it is only a matter of counting the days Mary will give birth. Today Jake decided to take the day off and accompany Maria to decorate their child's room. Because until now they don't know the gender of their child, so they fill the room with neutral colors.The room that used to be used by Maria is now the room for their future child. Jaccob decided to renovate to provide a connecting door to his room."You can't be tired Mary, just let me clean this room. You just sit back and see!" Jacob's orders.But Maria ignored those words. She even happily tidied one by one the little clothes that looked cute to her. She separated among the other equipment."It's true what Jaccob said, Maria, you better rest," said Illene who was
"You look very beautiful, Sera," said Maria, who had just entered the hotel room.Sera who heard that immediately turned her head, looking at Maria who was also very beautiful with her growing belly. The woman even walked with a limp holding her stomach."Maria," Sera exclaimed happily. "You alone?" Sera asked."No, Jaccob is here, but he went to see Lucas." Maria approached Sera, handed a bouquet of white roses to Sera. "Especially my mother's request," she said with a smile.Sera accepted it, she put the flower on the table. She couldn't move much now that Sisi was still doing her make-up.Today is Sera and Lucas' wedding day. It had been half a year si
Again the hospital was thrown into confusion when they heard that the hospital owner, Jaccob, would come here. The senior and junior doctors looked nervously waiting for the person who was rumored to have a cruel attitude. They were even waiting in front of the hospital entrance.Jake's car stopped, Aciel immediately opened the door for Jake and Maria. Jake went inside holding Maria's hand."How are you, Maria?" said doctor Nathan who was approaching them."I'm fine Uncle," Maria replied with a smile."Why is everyone here?" asked Jaccob surprised to see everyone welcoming him.Doctor Nathan's brow furrowed, he looked at Jaccob in surprise. "Didn't you come to
"Why did you bring this woman here?" Jake asked, glaring at Lucas."Jake," Illene whispered, trying to break up not wanting to get into a fight."You don't know Mom, they're the ones who caused Maria to lose her baby first," Jake said still coldly."It's all gone Jake, even you have replied to Sera," Lucas replied calmly."Yes, but I haven't killed you yet!" fierce Jake."Jake, Lucas, come here!" Illene ordered in a firm tone.They drew closer, sitting across from each other. Jake was still staring intently at Lucas, while Lucas ignored him, he was acting calm. Because indeed, he only came here for peace, did not wa
Maria was awakened by the smell of cooking wafted in her nostrils. She opened her eyes slowly, turned to her side but couldn't find her husband.Finally, Maria woke up, covered her naked body went into the bathroom, and cleaned herself up. She enjoyed the shower water that made his body fresh. When she was done she came out.Maria checked the suitcase that was still next to the sofa. Because of last night's activities, she had forgotten that she had not packed up the things he brought.Maria took out one by one the clothes that were there. But she smirked in surprise, all her clothes were just a light dress, a tank top, shorts and...lingerie. What is this? Who prepared cursed clothes like this?Maria sighe
The night was getting late, but the happiness of the people there still radiated clearly. Some people have said goodbye to go home, some are still there.Jake fed Maria a snack, since then he didn't leave Maria at all. Makes Maria's female friends at the agency jealous to see her."Are you tired?" Jake asked."No, I just want to changes clothes. This dress makes me cold," Maria said, looking at Jake pitifully.Jake took off his coat and slung it over Maria's shoulders. "Then you should change your clothes immediately," said Jake.Maria nodded, she said goodbye to Illene, Rikard, and the others. But instead of bringing Maria into the Mansion, Jake led Maria into the car."Where are
When they arrived at the place, Maria immediately went inside. It looked deserted there, only the shop assistants were passing by. Aciel told Maria to go first, he followed behind.Maria's smile broke when she saw Jake standing in front of her with a man she didn't know."Jake," Maria called, waving her hand.Jake smiled, he motioned for Maria to come closer. When Maria was beside him, he immediately hugged Maria's hips."Ricky, introduce my future wife, Maria," said Jaccob, smiling proudly.Ricky smiled, he shook Maria's hand which Maria replied."Okay, I'll show you my diamond collection," said Ricky after the brief introduction. He walked to a place deeper than this shop, when
"How is today, Dad?" Maria asked as soon as she entered her father's room. In his hand was a fruit parcel, she placed it on the table and sat down next to his father.Petra smiled and looked at Maria. "Father is healthier than yesterday, thanks Maria," he said."There is no thank you between us, Father. We have to help each other," said Maria interspersed with laughter. "You want an orange? I'll peel it for you."Petra just nodded, he watched his stepdaughter peeling the orange peel. Maria was very painstaking, she even washed it before handing it over to her father."Help me sit down Maria," said Petra.Maria immediately raised the side of the hospital bed. She helped his father to sit leaning there.
"Pregnant?" parrot Maria with her mouth wide open."Yes, when was the last time you had your period?" asked Illene who was now in front of Maria."Um, I don't know Mom," Maria said, seeming reminiscing, but she completely forgot."Okay, no problem. We'll go to the doctor to check it out," said Illene happily. His mind wondered if Maria was pregnant."Okay," said Mary. Even though she was also happy if she got pregnant again, but her heart was also sad because she had a miscarriage. But as much as possible Maria did not want to bring it up again.Finally, after leaving the salon, Illene took Maria straight to the hospital. She immediately took Maria to an ob-gyn doctor, when she got there Maria was immediately examined by a fe
