Ring... ring... ring.
The alarm from a cellphone continued to sound before the owner moved to stop it. That morning, at around 06.00 am, Sherly, the owner of the cellphone, was writhing on the bed in a deluxe room at a five-star hotel. She was used to the sound of the alarm. Even though her head was still throbbing, her beautiful eyes were slowly blinking. Sherly is not yet aware of her current condition. She was about to turn around to reach for the cellphone on the nightstand, but a large hand was wrapped around her body making it difficult for the girl to move. At the same time, a baritone voice startled Sherly. "Noisy... quickly turn off the alarm!" ordered the man next to Sherly. Suddenly Sherly looked to her left and found a dashing, handsome man chattering with his eyes still closed. "He... this man." Sherly gasped, her heart felt like it was going to jump out of its place. Not to mention when she realized that her innocent body was only covered by a light brown blanket. The world felt like it was going to end at that moment. "How could this happen?" With trembling hands, Sherly then removed the man's hands from her body. Apart from not having 100 percent consciousness, the man was also naked, just like Sherly. The two of them were only protected by a silk blanket. After putting on her clothes, Sherly sat on the edge of the bed while looking at the man who was still fast asleep. "What happen with me?" Sherly tried to remember what happened last night. She admitted that Sherly had indeed drunk alcoholic drinks served by one of her friends, and this was her first experience consuming these alcohol drinks. It was clear that Sherly did not have a high tolerance for alcoholic drinks, so she immediately got very drunk that night. Sherly just wanted to appreciate the farewell that her friends had prepared, but innocently, she had no idea it would end like this. Getting drunk and then ending up in bed with a guy. After all, they were together at that place, why could Sherly be alone and end up with a man she didn't know? "Who brought me here?" Sherly was still thinking hard. "Did I come alone to offer myself to this man? Ah... How embarrassing." That night was Sherly's first night in a nightclub. In the name of friendship, she followed her friends who were celebrating graduation day. Because they will soon be going to different universities, Sherly just obeys and assumes that this party is just for fun and will be over in the blink of an eye. While looking at the man on the bed, Sherly remembered the coquettish attitude she showed with her friends. It cannot be denied that Sherly and the gang, who were still in the puberty stage, flirted with several men in the nightclub, including the man who had become her bedmate tonight. To test their seduction skills, they even show wild behavior in front of men. But all of that was just acting and was only done that night to complete the teenage years that were coming to an end. "I have to know this man's identity." Because it was still early, Sherly didn't intend to wake the man. With alert eyes, she immediately walked around the bed. On the floor, Sherly found trousers, then reached into his wallet. The first thing Sherly did was take out an identity card. Written is the name Hansel Rosell. From the year of birth, Sherly concluded that the man was 12 years older than her. Hansel is 30 years old, while Sherly is only 18 years old.Sherly has slept with a man who is more suitable to be her uncle. However, of all the data listed on the identity card, what surprised Sherly the most was Hansel's status. The man she had slept with turned out to be a married man. "He already has a wife." With one hand, the sobbing Sherly covered her mouth. She was worried that Hansel would hear her voice. "I've ruined people's homes." Sherly thought for a moment. She is a woman, and there will be women who are hurt by this incident. Without thinking, Sherly grabbed her backpack and rushed to leave the luxurious room. As best she could, she would pretend this incident had never happened. On her way out of the hotel building, Sherly accidentally bumped into a man. Reynand is the man's name. He was Hansel's friend and intended to check on his friend's condition after receiving news from one of their colleagues. "Ah... so ... sorry, I didn't mean to," said Sherly, bowing. She deliberately covered her face with her long hair so tha
Day after day, week after week, month after month, Hansel never found a bright spot. Several months ago, he had returned to his hometown, but the search for the mysterious girl had not stopped. Hansel hung up the phone after receiving the same news from someone who had been sent to look for Sherly. Now, the half-breed man's face was clearly painted with disappointment after failing to find the girl he had spent the night with. Both Sherly and the two men who carried her into the room that night disappeared like they were swallowed by the earth. No one knows their whereabouts. Hansel even asked the police to find one of the three, but to no avail. "Never mind, don't think about it anymore, maybe that girl just wanted to have fun with you that night. After getting what she wanted, she immediately left and left you. Now it's better to focus on work and your wife!" Reynand gave advice to Hansel who was frowning. Hansel glanced at Reynand briefly. His thoughts were still on the m
"Your lie was successful this time, Loli," Hansel praised his wife and looked in awe at the woman who was sitting on the sofa and giving milk to baby Aarav. "You are very suitable to be a mother, are you sure no one will be suspicious of your absence all this time?" For months, Lolita deliberately isolated herself to deceive her extended family. As soon as she received news from one of her subordinates, Lolita immediately informed the family that she was pregnant and did not want to be disturbed by anyone. However, her extended family always demanded to have biological children of Rosell descent, not foster or adopted children. At her wit's end, Lolita, who had resigned herself to her fertility, accepted Sita's offer. Even without having to meet first with the woman who wanted to give up her a baby, Lolita easily agreed to all the agreements Sita proposed. "It's okay to lie, this is all for our good. I did this because of their insistence too. I am self-aware that I am not a fe
"You heard it yourself, right?" Jonny said triumphantly, then threw a document on the table. "Please check these files, Papa! I have also checked all the hospitals and maternity centers in the city Lolita lived in five years ago." Both Hansel and Lolita could only remain silent without daring to defend themselves. They were used to Jonny's accusations of never getting tired of looking for trouble. Even though anger accompanies his gaze, Hansel seems ready for the consequences they will face for the lies they have been doing all this time. However, his mother, who always stood behind Hansel's success, did not want to remain silent. Hannah won't swallow Jonny's story whole. Considering that Jonny is always jealous of Hansel's success and achievements, it is not surprising that the man is always looking for her son's weaknesses. "I only believe in Hansel. It's impossible for my son to tell me such a big lie. These two women's must be your people's," Hannah said loudly, making Hansel
Rosell company. "You have made a mistake for the umpteenth time!" Sofia again reprimanded Sherly. She put her hands on her hips in front of Sherly. "You've only been working for a few days and you've already done something careless. This time, don't expect Santos to help you," added Sofia, frighteningly. "I'll fix it right away, Miss. Bell." While looking down, Sherly defended herself. "And I think this is just a small mistake, it only takes a few hours, I can definitely do it." Sherly is not a stupid woman. The error is also not big. Right now, she just had a lot on her mind. Her father told her to come back, even though her intention to meet her son had not been carried out. "No need," Sofia said cruelly. "I will report this directly to my superiors, so that he will determine your punishment. Thank goodness you will only be fired without having to pay compensation or be imprisoned." Under the threat of Sofia who had left her, Sherly breathed a sigh of relief as she looked at the
After receiving a call from Reynand, Hansel looked back at Lolita's face who was lying on the bed. The woman must have been shocked by this news. Even though no feelings of love grew for Lolita, a slight feeling of guilt remained within Hansel. After all, they are legally husband and wife and always show a harmonious attitude in public, especially in front of their extended family. Of course it hurts after knowing a secret this big. However, Hansel also didn't want to just blame himself. He didn't do this on purpose. Even Hansel is a very picky person and is not too crazy about sex. His main priority is work and seeking pleasure with another woman is not on his life list. It is proven that at such a mature age and brilliant career, Hansel never squandered money just for the sake of lust satisfaction. One negative thought appeared in Hansel's mind. "Loli, will you still love Aarav as before and treat him like your own child after knowing this truth?" Hansel is doubtful considering
"Hey... I'm talking to you, come on, open your mouth, say something!" Sofia is arrogantly coercive. She didn't hesitate to grip Sherly's arm which had been shaking for a long time. Sofia was so angry with Sherly that she no longer had any empathy for the woman. Not long after, Santos, who was also Sherly's boss, came over. He already knew Sherly's problem. He feel worried. "What happened, Sherly?" Santos' question immediately grew deeper jealousy in Sofia's heart. The woman's face turned red like burning embers. This is not the first time Sherly has made a mistake. And every time that happens, Santos will come as a defender and be the hero every time. However, now, with her cunning, Sofia finally managed to complain about Sherly's mistake to her superiors before Santos heard about the woman's problems. "That's because she's not good at work," said Sofia in a quick and curt tone. "But it can still be solved, right?" Santos understood the real situation, that's why he immediately
"What does it mean?" Santos immediately protested to Reynand. Meanwhile, the person who was asked chose to remain silent and just shrugged his shoulders as if he didn't want to interfere any further. The woman Hansel is referring to is definitely Sherly. Santos thinks so. Why is Hansel in such a hurry to meet Sherly? Santos couldn't wait for Reynand's answer. He asked again. "Aren't you embarrassed to interfere with a trivial matter like this?" Through Reynand, Santos' relationship with Hansel is quite close. He also asked the big boss a question. "Hansel, where is your high and authoritative attitude? Don't you feel inferior for directly intervening on the lowest level of staff in this company?" Even though there was a slight feeling of reluctance, Santos' tone was very brave this time. He seemed to be mocking, because Hansel was known for being cold to his subordinates. Hansel turned to Reynand. His gaze meant that his trusted person would immediately resolve the problem with S
Hansel wanted to surprise his wife after they returned, but the surprises presented themselves one by one. Yes, Sherly's parents entered the room first. Rosali immediately hugged Sherly, followed by Selvi and her small family. Meanwhile, Morgu looked down embarrassed after entering the room. He didn't even dare to witness the closeness between Sherly and Selvi, nor with his wife who really loved Sherly. "Dad...!" Sherly mentioned the call to Morgu. Even though the old man was not her biological father and openly cut ties with him, Sherly still considered him as her father. "Dad, come here!" Immediately Morgu was moved by the call. He immediately hugged Sherly. "I'm sorry, I was very mean to you, my selfish father has been using you all this time," he said regretfully. "I've forgotten about it," replied Sherly sincerely. "To me, you are still my father." At that time, Rosali stroked Sherly's hair again. She also said, "But you need to know who your real biological parent
"Sherly...!" Hansel whispered in his wife's ear to wake her up. "Sherly... wake up, here I come." Slowly, Sherly blinked lazily. In this second pregnancy, she became sleepy easily. Her eyes could no longer be compromised. Her body was also tired during the journey. That's why Ronald let Sherly rest for tonight, but with her hands tied. "Hansel..." With one hand, Sherly rubbed her eyes. She was still doubtful about her vague vision. "You came, is it really you who came?" she asked to make sure what she saw wasn't part of a dream. "Yes, here I come," Hansel confirmed. To convince Sherly, he kissed the woman's lips three times. "Stay calm here!" Next, Hansel immediately looked for a way to untie Sherly's hand. "Do you know where the key is?" Hansel asked after trying to find the key to the handcuffs that tied Sherly's hands. "It's on Ronald." Sherly raised herself to sit. "He tied me up like this, because he was afraid I would try to escape." There was no hop
After being attacked by Yoga's people, Hamza still does not regret his actions. Instead of prohibiting or asking for a detailed explanation, he actually encouraged the criminals to continue their mission. "Just take her away, it's up to you what you want to do, I don't care about the safety of this unlucky woman!" Hamza let it go, and was even happy to see Sherly being carried by someone they didn't know. "Dad, why are you so heartless towards Sherly?" Lolita was helpless because her space for movement was blocked by Hamza and her father's men. When Sherly was taken by a group of criminals, Lolita sat limp on the floor. For several minutes, she cried uncontrollably. She screamed, feeling bad for not being able to provide help to her pregnant sister. 'Come quickly, Hansel!' Lolita said to herself. She had sent a message to Hansel before entering the building. "Never mind, don't act stupid like this as if she is very important to us!" Hamza didn't feel guilty. He persuaded
"How could you fail to get Sherly?" Ronald was furious to find out that two of his people's had been preceded by other people. "You were there already, you have even entered the house since morning, haven't you seen anyone suspicious?" "Sorry, Mr. Ronald, we didn't know if that man also wanted Sherly." One of the two men answered. "Too many people were looking at Sherly, we had a hard time guessing who wanted to kidnap her that night." "Stupid...! You guys are stupid, useless!" Ronald snapped. Don't accept that reason. In case, no one followed Ronald's steps at any time, he would have taken matters into his own hands. Ronald's hatred for Sherly and Hansel was too high, making the man willing to spend a lot of money just to get revenge. "Don't be reckless like that, Ronald!" Yoga suddenly appeared in the room. He patted Ronald on the shoulder, then said again. "I already know who took Sherly, and I also know where they took her." Ronald turned his head. "Who preceded me?
The luxury mansion with the most complete facilities in the city suddenly experienced internal problems with lighting. This certainly raised suspicion among the residents of the house or guests that night. Especially Hansel who lost Sherly in a matter of seconds. As soon as the lights returned to illuminate room after room, the first thing Hansel did was look for his wife. "Sherly... Sherly...!" Hansel called his wife as he walked back and forth. With a panicked face, he walked through every room closest to where they were originally standing. As the owner of the mansion, Hilman immediately gave orders to his trusted people to check the security conditions in the house. "Check everything around the house, don't miss anything! If there is anything suspicious, report it immediately!" The assistant moved to carry out his duties. "Why did she disappear by herself?" Alexander was amazed. "Among all the people in this room, why is that woman the only one who disappeared?" he re
Sherly tried to pull her hand out of Hansel's grasp, but the man wouldn't let it go. "Hansel... everyone is looking at us. Please let go of my hand, reassure your family and I will look after Aarav!" she's looking for safety. Hansel disagrees. He was actually excited to bring Sherly and Aarav to his family. "We face it together!" he said. "What does this mean?" Even though he understood Hansel's intentions, Hilman still asked, and he did so only to maintain his famously firm authority in front of their family colleagues. Hansel was not at all afraid to face Hilman. When he was standing right in front of his grandfather, he introduced his wife first. "The woman I brought is called Sherly. Doesn't Grandpa want to meet her? I've brought her, please accept her as a daughter-in-law in this family as my wife!" asked Hansel in an even voice. There was no doubt, but he still looked wary if Hilman did not accept Sherly's presence. Instead of answering, Hilman turned his gaze to
After several days passed, Vonny still couldn't accept Sherly's presence as her sister. She hated that woman too much, so how could she forget their enmity? Vonny's anger exploded even more when she found out that Sherly had married Hansel and that they also had a child who had been cared for by Lolita. "I won't let you get everything that should be mine, Sherly. I will destroy your life." Vonny looked at the picture of Santos with Sherly. The photo looks intimate, hugging, kissing, making anyone who sees it believe that the two of them are in a serious relationship. "With all this, I will embarrass you in front of Hansel's family. Just watch, Sherly, everyone will be even more disgusted to see you. And I'm sure Hansel won't accept you anymore." Vonny thinks Sherly is lucky just because of their similarities. "Don't expect me to think of you as a younger sibling, I will never accept that!" That evening, Vonny will also attend an event at Rossel's residence. In the name of he
When Santos moved towards her, Sherly immediately raised both hands to stop the man. "Stop right there, don't come any closer!" she is still traumatized by Santos' treatment of her. "I just want to talk for a moment, Sherly, I don't want to be rude to you." Santos remained silent. "Please give me a chance to apologize to you. I really regret my stupidity." "Didn't Hansel tell you to solve your problems at this company?" Sherly reminded Santos and ignored the man's words. "Please get out of here immediately!" she asked again. To convince Sherly, Santos immediately knelt in front of Sherly. He clasped his hands together, lowering himself so that Sherly would believe him. "Please forgive me, Sherly, I won't be able to calm down until I get forgiveness from you. My goal in coming today is just to get forgiveness from you." "I swear on my mother's name, I regret everything I did at that time. I made a mistake, Sherly, please forgive me!" Santos begged again. Hearing Santos'
While putting the drink bottle on the table, Sherly gave Hansel a code not to rush into revealing their relationship in front of the middle-aged woman. They both knew that Farah was not in a good condition to receive such shocking news. "I understand," said Hansel in a low voice. After that, he stood up first to greet Santos and Farah. "Good afternoon, Hansel!" Farah looked more enthusiastic, so she greeted first. "Does our arrival bother you?" "Not at all, Auntie," said Hansel kindly. "Come on, sit down first!" At that time Sherly also approached, but she didn't want to talk to Santos. Her anger towards the man had not completely disappeared. So she just greeted Farah and helped the woman to sit on the sofa right next to her. Santos followed suit. The feeling of guilt towards Sherly made the man silent a thousand words. Until now, he has not had the opportunity to apologize directly to Sherly. Now, in front of Farah, he was acting friendly towards Hansel, as if there h
