Chapter: 5. Call Me“And you smell funny,” Freya added.“Funny?” Adam echoed, easing down onto the bed beside her.“Not like your usual smell. Like… flowers. But not our wipes. Different.”Adam laughed, helpless. “You sound like a wife interrogating her husband.”His chest tightened. ‘I hope no one ever breaks your heart, Freya. Not like… not like your father once did to someone very precious.’She frowned, but leaned into him anyway. “Read me the story.”He did. His voice softer than usual. His hand stroking her hair as her lids finally grew too heavy to fight.He stayed until both twins breathed evenly, curled beneath their blankets. His heart ached with love. And guilt. When he finally rose, slipping from their room with practiced care, he paused at the door.What are you doing, Adam?But he knew.He returned to Imogen’s suite.Only… it was empty.No sign of her. Only a note on the nightstand, penned in graceful, elegant script.Sorry. I had to return to London. My grandmother’s unwell. Call me. Her

Chapter: 4. Good FatherThe room was silent except for the soft hum of the air conditioner and the heavy, uneven breaths they shared. Adam’s heart was still pounding against his ribs, his body flushed with heat that had nothing to do with temperature.And then… his phone vibrated again.The screen lit up with a familiar name.Paul & Freya.Adam closed his eyes for a moment, exhaling through clenched teeth. Of course. Of course, his children would call now.He answered, keeping his voice steady. “Paul? Freya?”“Dad, where are you? You said you’d come back soon,” Paul’s soft voice came first, half-asleep but still holding onto his promise like the serious little boy he was.“We’re waiting,” Freya added, sounding more annoyed than tired. “Annie says you’re busy, but we can’t sleep. You always read us a story.”Adam’s gaze dropped to the woman currently sitting on his lap. His shirt was still half open. Her dress slipping in a way that left little to the imagination. Her body pressed snug against his, warm, tem

Chapter: 3. Unwrapping Adam WilsonMaya…? What cruel joke was this?Adam Wilson stared at the woman in his arms. Her face. That face. The same face that haunted his nightmares, his regrets, his shame for the past five years.Yet this wasn’t Maya. This woman wasn’t looking at him like she used to — with patience, with quiet devotion. No, Imogen looked at him like she wanted to ruin him.Her name wasn’t Maya. It was Imogen.And Maya… Maya would never beg. Never tease. Never seduce. That role used to belong to Sabrina.For a fleeting second, Adam’s mind betrayed him. Sabrina. The woman who walked like sin, every curve screaming sex, every step daring men to lose control. Men hardened at the sight of her, without her needing to even glance their way.But Imogen… she was different.She didn’t need to speak. The way her breath hitched when her chest pressed against his… The way her lips parted, soft and wanting… The way her thighs shifted beneath the silk of her dress, rubbing together in silent frustration…Innocence?

Chapter: 2. Hard?Imogen’s bold offer stunned him. How long had it been since he last touched a woman? Five years? Ever since his divorce… it felt like a lifetime.And now, temptation stood right in front of him.Imogen’s body wasn’t the kind a man could easily ignore. Slim waist, soft curves in all the right places, her strapless dress revealing the perfect swell of her breasts — just enough to torment a man’s imagination. Her skin glowed like porcelain kissed by candlelight, and her lips… God, her lips. Sweet. Pink. And her ass? Just made for sin.Any other man would’ve caved in an instant.But karma had cursed him tonight.Even faced with a woman this beautiful, this willing… Adam could only grit his teeth and remind himself: he couldn’t. Not with his problem.For the first time that night, the man seemed genuinely unsettled. “I… I’m flattered.” He shifted slightly, almost awkward in his honesty. “But I’m not the right man. I… have certain… issues.” His throat bobbed in a nervous swallow, his finger

Chapter: 1. I am not Useless in BedImogen Warren didn’t come to this masquerade looking for trouble. Yet trouble found her the moment Thalia Perez opened her venomous mouth.“This is the woman who’s useless in bed, isn’t she?” Thalia sneered, swirling her champagne with fake elegance. “No matter how thick that mask is, I recognize you anywhere, Imogen Warren. Ex-fiancée of Alan Lewis, the pitiful heir to Lewis Group.”Imogen’s lips curled into a smile — cold, calculated, the kind of smile only a woman with nothing left to lose could wear so effortlessly. Without a single word, she lifted her glass — expensive champagne, poured in celebration of wealth and power — and emptied it in one smooth motion onto Thalia Perez’s couture gown.The red liquid splashed across silk fabric worth thousands, staining it like blood on snow.Gasps rippled through the crowd.“You bitch!” Thalia shrieked, stepping back as if scalded. “What the hell did you just do to my E.W. dress? This is exclusive! A limited collection! A gift from my mot

Chapter: 39. Mom's Doppelganger (S1 End)Five years have passed since Maya’s death. Now, the twins have grown into healthy and active children."Paul, Freya! Come down and finish your breakfast!" Adam shouted from below, calling his two children who could be heard being noisy upstairs as they changed clothes."Dad, Paul hid my doll! I wanted to take it with me when we pick up Uncle Leo at the airport!" Freya replied, her voice almost on the verge of tears. The little girl with dark wavy hair looked more and more like her mother as she grew older."Liar! You forgot where you put your ugly rabbit doll. Don't accuse me randomly!" Paul retorted in a high-pitched voice.Paul’s dark eyes sharply looked at his younger sister, who was smaller in size. He looked a lot like his father at that state. With a stronger and bigger body, he often teased Freya. Even though he was punished many times, teasing his twin was like a drug he would continue to do no matter what the consequences were.This kind of morning commotion in the Wilson man

Chapter: 38. The End of the Love StorySabrina was supposed to feel like the world and everything in it belonged to her. Maya had left. So had Mr. Paul. Adam was hers, completely. But reality seemed to be mocking her because she felt the opposite. She often remembered her own baby who hadn't survived when she was born prematurely at six months old. Physically, her baby had been in better condition than Maya's twins. She couldn't accept that fate. To make matters worse, why did she have to help take care of Maya's children?Sabrina, who used to hate Mr. Paul because he couldn't love Adam even though he loved his wife very much, has become very understanding of what Mr. Paul did. Not everyone is blessed with compassion like Maya. Sabrina and Mr. Paul are like that.Until this point, Sabrina might have been able to endure because Adam didn't demand that she love the twins. But what made Sabrina's situation difficult was Adam's inability to give her another child naturally.Sometime after Maya left, Adam's biological desires s

Chapter: 37. Adam's SecretAdam's financial management was much better than when he was younger. When he received his salary, he immediately invested some of the money, set aside some for emergencies, and used the rest to cover his family's daily needs.However, Adam's firmness regarding finances was also one of the reasons for Sabrina's annoyance. She didn't agree with all the financial limitations that Adam imposed. She couldn't understand why she couldn't use the luxurious facilities that belonged to Adam's children. Didn't she also occasionally help Adam take care of the twins?"Adam, I just want to borrow this limo once to go to the party. Why won't you allow me?" Sabrina protested loudly. She had already prepared herself beautifully to go to the party and felt very frustrated because her efforts seemed futile. How could a woman with makeup like a queen go to a party in the ordinary family car that Adam drove to work every day? "Even if this belongs to the children, why can't I borrow it once or twice for

Chapter: 36. Good DaddyThat day was the day Adam had been waiting for. Paul and Freya came out of the NICU after having been treated there for ten weeks. Of course, Adam didn't forget to bring Sabrina along to pick up the twins.After all, Sabrina was going to be the stepmother to Paul and Freya. Although Sabrina had initially declined when Adam invited her to visit the kids in the hospital while they were still undergoing treatment, Adam didn't want to give up on bringing them closer. He wanted there to be a bond between mother and child that was established among them."Bree, I'll wait downstairs, okay!" Adam exclaimed nervously. He was really impatient to pick up Paul and Freya.Sabrina did not answer. She lazily applied makeup to her face, hoping that time would pass quickly and Adam would leave her out of boredom. "Sabrina, my love! If you don't come down soon, I'll come up and carry you down. Remember, we're also starting to move to the mansion today!" Adam shouted after waiting for Sabrina for thirty

Chapter: 35. Sabrina's JealousyA man stepped out of an Uber and stopped at a simple rented house in a suburban area. The man looked tidy, even though his clothes weren't too expensive. It was just a standard quality outfit purchased from a middle-class store. Anyone would never have guessed that the man who got off the ride-sharing service was the CEO of one of the big companies in the city.He had recently returned to his leadership position there after being fired a few months ago by the previous company owner. He could sit back in that position only by the grace of the Almighty. It was just because of His miracle that the man was still given a chance to once again hold an important role in the company that had thrown him away because of the scandal he played.The tired-looking young man slowly unlocked the gate of the rented house so as not to wake the surrounding neighbors. He also carefully opened the front door of the house so as not to wake his wife, who might already be asleep."Are you just coming home?" a

Chapter: 34. FatherAdam looked at the two little creatures in front of him with tears streaming down his face. So small and fragile. They needed tubes to help them survive."My children...." Adam whispered emotionally, making Leo feel that Maya's decision to hand over her babies to their biological father was the right choice.Blood is thicker than water. That's how it is. Adam loved his children because they were his own flesh and blood."She was so happy when she found out she was pregnant with twins. So was I. I even cursed how lucky you were," Leo recalled the moments when Maya cheered upon finding out the gender of her babies. "If only she was pregnant with a man who truly loved her, it would have been even more joyous. Do you know how Maya felt when she saw you and Sabrina happy when you found out the gender of your baby?"Adam swallowed hard. He looked up remembering all the mistreatment he had given Maya."However, her happiness disappeared when the doctor diagnosed her with severe pre-eclampsia

Chapter: 36. EpilogLima tahun telah berlalu sejak kepergian Maya. Kini, si kembar telah tumbuh menjadi anak yang sehat dan lincah. "Paul, Freya! Ayo cepat turun dan habiskan sarapan kalian!" seru Adam dari bawah memanggil kedua anaknya yang terdengar ribut di atas saat berganti pakaian. "Ayah, Paul menyembunyikan bonekaku! Padahal aku ingin mengajaknya jalan-jalan saat menjemput Paman Leo di bandara!" jawab Freya dengan suara hampir menangis. Gadis kecil berambut gelap bergelombang itu semakin tampak mirip dengan ibunya seiring dengan bertambahnya usianya. "Bohong! Kamu sendiri yang lupa meletakkan di mana boneka kelinci jelekmu itu. Jangan menuduh sembarangan!" sanggah Paul dengan suara melengking. Mata gelap miniatur Adam itu memandang tajam saudarinya yang berukuran lebih mungil darinya. Dengan tubuhnya yang lebih kuat dan besar, dia memang kerap mengusili Freya. Sekalipun dia berkali-kali dihukum, mengusili kembarannya sudah bagaikan candu yang akan tetap dia lakukan tak peduli apa pun konsekuen

Chapter: 35. AyahAdam memandangi kedua makhluk kecil yang ada di hadapannya dengan linangan air mata. Begitu kecil dan rapuh. Mereka membutuhkan selang-selang bantuan untuk hidup."Anak-anakku ...." Kata-kata yang Adam bisikkan dengan penuh perasaan, membuat Leo merasa keputusan Maya untuk menyerahkan bayi-bayinya kepada ayah kandungnya adalah pilihan yang tepat.Darah lebih kental daripada air. Begitulah. Adam pun menyayangi kedua anaknya karena mereka adalah darah dagingnya sendiri."Dia begitu bahagia saat mendengar bahwa dia mengandung anak kembar. Aku pun begitu. Sampai-sampai aku mengumpat betapa beruntungnya dirimu," jelas Leo mengenang saat-saat Maya bersorak mengetahui jenis kelamin bayinya. "Seandainya saat itu dia hamil dengan pria yang tulus mencintainya, pasti akan sangat membahagiakan. Tahukah kau perasaan Maya saat melihat kau dan Sabrina bergembira saat tahu jenis kelamin bayi kalian?"Ada

Chapter: 34. Kesempatan Kedua untuk AdamDua bayi, lelaki dan perempuan yang berpelukan di ruang NICU itu berukuran sangat kecil. Yang lelaki beratnya 656 gram, sedangkan lainnya 533 gram. Banyak selang menempel di tubuh kecil mereka demi memperjuangkan detak jantung keduanya.Kulit mereka begitu keriput. Begitu kurus seperti hanya tulang dan kulit tanpa selapis daging pun. Bila orang berkata bahwa bayi sangat lucu, pemandangan yang disaksikan mata hijau pria kekar yang mengamatinya dari kaca luar ruangan tidak demikian. Mereka berdua jauh dari kata lucu. Seperti alien. Seperti bukan manusia.Kesedihan masih belum bisa lepas dari hati Leo. Melihat mereka berdua membuat Leo teringat akan sang ibu yang telah berjuang mempertahankan nyawa mereka. Usaha telah dilakukan sebaik mungkin walau hasilnya tak sempurna, seperti yang diinginkan oleh semua pihak."Maya, mereka akan berterima kasih padamu suatu hari nanti," bisik Leo dengan suara yang bergetar hebat karena menahan air mata."Paul, Freya ....

Chapter: 33. Darah Lebih Kental daripada AirDapur kecil sebuah di sebuah apartemen mungil milik lelaki menawan berbadan atletis, kini dipenuhi dengan aroma butter yang menggoda. Tak hanya aroma makanan yang membuat air liur menetes, tapi ada pemandangan lain yang tak kalah menggiurkan. Celana training pria yang sedang beraksi di dapur tersebut menggantung terlalu rendah di bagian pinggang, membuat wanita mana pun yang memandang tak akan bisa melewati harinya tanpa merasa kepanasan karena terbayang pemandangan indah itu sepanjang hari. Andai saja ada seorang wanita di sana, pasti kelima indranya akan dimanjakan dengan kenikmatan duniawi karena suara pria yang sedang memegang wajan dan tongs itu pun akan membuat hati semua kaum hawa berdesir bila sedang berbicara. Jangan tanya bagaimana sensasi yang dirasa bila suara merdu itu berbisik di telinga, sudah bisa dipastikan para bidadari dunia akan melayang walaupun tak ada sayap yang menempel di punggungnya. Namun, di saat yang sama, siapa pun yang melihat waj

Chapter: 32. Adam dan LeoPukulan Adam yang pertama mengenai wajah Leo. Namun, yang kedua tentu berhasil ditangkis oleh lawannya."Adam! Hentikan! Mengapa kau tiba-tiba memukul Leo!" jerit Maya berusaha menghentikan amukan Adam.Adam tak peduli. Dia masih berusaha menghajar Leo. Sementara Leo yang sebenarnya dapat dengan mudah menghabisi lawannya, hanya sibuk menangkis dan menahan serangan Adam. Tak sampai hati dia memukul Adam karena ada Maya di sampingnya."Hei! Mengapa kau berbuat sembarangan seperti ini? Ingatlah kita sedang di rumah sakit!" bisik Leo pelan tapi tegas."Kau apakan Sabrina, huh? Seorang saksi mengatakan istriku jatuh setelah pria berambut pirang dengan tubuh besar membuatnya ketakutan!" balas Adam dengan geram. "Siapa lagi kalau bukan kau!"Leo pun mengernyit. Dia bingung dengan pertanyaan Adam. Dia memang sempat bersitegang dengan Sabrina. Namun, apakah semengerikan itu sampai-sampai membuat kondisi Sabrina dalam keadaan kritis?"Kamu! Kamu pasti

Chapter: 31. DaruratSabrina berjalan menyusuri koridor perlahan karena merasakan sakit di perutnya. Dia tak menyangka bahwa kegiatan hari ini membuatnya kelelahan. Bagaimanapun juga, berjalan kaki sejauh dua kilometer dari apartemennya ke rumah sakit bukan tugas mudah untuk wanita hamil sepertinya.Dering ponsel yang lembut pun membuat Sabrina terkaget. Dia lalu mengangkat telepon yang berasal dari suaminya. Dalam hati, Sabrina sangat cemas. Dia takut Adam sudah sampai di rumah lebih dulu dan mendapati apartemen mereka kosong."Sabrina, kamu di mana?" tanya Adam dari ujung telepon dengan suara cemas."Aku ... aku keluar sebentar. Suplemen penambah darahku habis." Sabrina menjawab dengan sedikit tergagap karena dia tak meminta izin kepada Adam bahwa dia akan menemui Maya hari ini. Jika suaminya tahu, pastilah akan menentang aksi frontalnya kali ini. Bagaimanapun juga, Adam akan menganggap dirinya mengemis kepada Maya untuk memperbaiki kondis
