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
Lucas asked Ane to help change Maria's clothes. For the time being, Maria wore Lucas's clothes that were left here. Lucas left the room and changed clothes in another room.As soon as Ane finished, Lucas went inside. He also asked Ane to make a warm drink for Maria.Maria was still rolled up under the blanket. His body still felt cold, luckily he wasn't shaking anymore. Maria looked at Lucas who was approaching her."You are okay?" Lucas asked looking worried. "Is it still cold? I'll find you a sweater," Lucas said then moved towards the closet. But there were only t-shirts and a few shirts there."It's okay Lucas. I'm fine, don't worry," said Mary.
Rose carried Maria's body wrapped in the blanket to her room. She was saddened by what had happened to Maria.After reaching the room, Rose asked Maria to sleep on her stomach. Rose covered her body again until the waist. She moved to get a first aid kit, luckily there was an ointment for external wounds.Carefully, Rose rubbed the ointment on the long wound on Maria's back. There were two marks on the lashes, and one of them was bleeding."Ahhh .. Sssshhhh, it hurts Rose," said Maria hissed softly."Wait a minute Miss, this will be over soon," said Rose.After she finished, Rose also asked Maria to take some pain medication. Maria could only surrender and depend on Rose."Thank you, Rose," said Maria, turning to the middle-aged woman."You're welcome, Miss, rest. I'll say goodbye first," said Rose and left Maria's room.The pain was still very stinging for Maria. She was crying silently, her heart was also hurting, she hated J
It's been 3 days Maria just stayed in the room. Yesterday there was a doctor who came to examine her because his body had a fever. The wound on his back has also improved a little because she is always being cared for by Rose.Jake made Maria want to strangle him. He was not allowed to come out, not even from the room. There were 2 of Jake's subordinates standing guard at Maria's door.When Maria opened the door a little, they were already looking at her intently and always talking when she wasn't allowed out of the room. All because of Jake's orders.Maria sighed in boredom now, she was seen pacing back and forth in her room. Thinking of how to get her out of here.A ridiculous idea crossed his mind. Maria approached the window and looked down. This is too high, she tho
The next day Kenzo came to Jake's house. He had tried to call Jake but the man wasn't picking up the phone, not even replying to his messages.When Kenzo got home, he met Aciel. Kenzo also asked where Jake was, but Aciel replied that the boss had not left the house since yesterday.Kenzo immediately went upstairs, entered Jaccob's room while calling his name, but he didn't find him there.Kenzo moves to Maria's room, he sees a guard there but he ignores it. When Kenzo wanted to open his room, he found the door locked.Tok... Tok... Tok..."Maria," Kenzo called from outside as he knocked on the door."Maria open the door, is Jak
"Jake," said Maria who entered Jake's study. She looked at the man sitting focused on his laptop.Jake, who heard his name being called, just glanced at him, then went back to busy with his work."Jake, my roses are wilting, some are dead," Maria said walking in. She sat at the table staring at Jake."Then what do you want?" Jake asked without looking away."Emm... Take me to buy flowers," said Maria looking at Jake pleadingly.Jake glanced at the woman sitting across from him. He took a deep breath. "Tell Aciel to take you, I still have work to do," he said.Maria immediately pouted hearing that, her hand moved to cover Jake's laptop. She immediately crossed her arms and glared at Jake angrily."Take me, or I'll go alone," she threatened."Oh come on Mary, why have you been a little spoiled lately." Jake sighed.Maria w
Lucas was pissed off right now. Some of his gun subscriptions went to Jaccob. From noon he was made grumpy because of this news.Even in his office, he couldn't focus because he was uncomfortable with Sera's presence. Fortunately, this afternoon the woman was gone.Lucas drove his car through the rainy night. He wants to have fun, and his goal is the bar.The streets looked deserted, the rain was still very heavy, making the view from inside the car a little blurry. Lucas started his car at a moderate speed.When you reach the intersection. Lucas sighed heavily because of a woman standing in the middle of the street. Lucas was seen honking his car several times, but the woman ignored it.When Lucas wanted to hit her, the woma
Jake opened his eyes lazily when he heard a very rough knock on the door. He woke up slowly, when his eyes were fully opened he frowned. 'Why is he here?' he thought.When Jake could remember what happened last night, he growled in annoyance."Shit, sly woman," he cursed.Still busy with his thoughts, Kenzo went inside with a panicked face and a little scared. Stealing glances at him."What is wrong?" Jake asked coldly."Did you stay here all night with Sera?" Kenzo asked."Yes," Jake answered lazily."Aciel contacted me to check why you and Maria didn't come home last night," Kenzo said again, there was a hint of doubt there.
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
