Chapter: EpilogueFive years Later. Enjoy the view that is currently visible in our backyard. Sean is enjoying his role as a father to our son, Danish, who is five years old; they are playing with their potato gun. Sean taught our son many things, and it’s no wonder that Danish could accept everything his father taught him, even though he could improvise well. I smiled through the kitchen window as I watched Sean act out a shot from Danish, dramatic and ridiculous. He dropped his body on the grass garden while placing one hand on the part of his heart because the bullet hit it. Danish approached Sean and then dropped his tiny body onto the man’s body. Sean hugged him, and they laughed together; my smile grew wider, seeing the behavior of the two of them.“Mrs Valentino, lunch is ready.” Mrs. Liam interrupts my time enjoying the good stuff. I approached them and invited them to lunch from the kitchen to the backyard. Danish ran towards me as I came to the father and son; I lowered myself so that I was

Chapter: Chapter 106I smiled as I closed my eyes; it seemed like he wanted to tell me something tonight. My Inner Goddess pulled her fur blanket up to her neck, ready to listen to a bedtime story from Sean Valentino.“Really?? I feel so married to a man who has everything like you; all men dream of being in your position. You are exceptional in the eyes of the world and mine.” My sleepiness was fighting with my consciousness; Sean inhaled the scent of my hair and buried his nose in mine, one of his arms wrapped around me like a vine.“Only my current life that many people want, before this, I was just an outcast with nothing, I didn’t even have the courage to approach you when we were children, and until now I will not be able to experience this happy life. If it weren’t for you wanting to marry me.”My life before meeting him was very different; it never crossed my mind to marry a man like Sean. My criteria are only about my life. I smiled as I thanked myself for this beautiful life.“I still want to kn

Chapter: Chapter 105Shaking hands with Sean, Detective Charlie sat on the sofa across from us. He has a firm face; I’m sure people must respect him because his attitude currently looks formal and doesn’t seem very friendly. Perhaps people who work like him must behave in front of clients like today so that people provide correct information.“All the evidence submitted by your personal assistant has been investigated by us and we are connecting it with the existing case, we are very pleased with you providing accurate evidence, Mr Valentino.”“Then, what made the detective come here??”I glanced at Sean, who seemed to have an intimidating face on him. Detective Charlie cleared his throat, trying not to be affected by the stern look on Sean’s face, but it seemed my black and white knight was very good at this. My Inner Goddess looked tensed on her red sofa like I was.“The perpetrator said that your wife ... I mean Mrs Valentino, had contact with the perpetrator while still a professional.” Detective Char

Chapter: Chapter 104My mother-in-law approached me, half running; Rani and my father-in-law were behind her. I got up from my seat and immediately hugged Mama Ramia. She started crying. She ended her hug and checked my condition, her eyes wet with tears.“How are you?? Are you hurt?? How is the baby?? Is he safe??”Panic and fear were so evident in her questions that I replied I was okay, and he was a little relieved by that. My father-in-law also hugged me; after that Rani, she sobbed on my shoulder.“He’ll be fine.” I tried to sound okay in responding to the current situation. Still, unfortunately, I failed to look strong in Rani’s eyes, just the opposite. We sat on the bench I had sat on a moment ago, my brain replaying our memories together this morning in the kitchen. I can still clearly remember everything we went through so far: all those laughs, his seductive gaze, his smile that could make women in this world melt, and all his ego and attitude that turned my world upside down. All those exciting

Chapter: Chapter 103It was Sean’s voice. I was too late to escape; Ariel immediately locked my neck using his arm.“If you make a sound, this gun will expel your fetus in a lifeless state.” He put the muzzle of his gun behind my stomach. Sean appeared along with Sam and Jared; his gaze turned threatening; he just looked at me for a split second, then looked back at Ariel.“One step means one shot,” Ariel said; my body was trapped in an ice block. Sean ordered Jared to bring Joana’s body immediately; the man lifted Joana and left this tense situation. While Sam checked Zafrina’s condition and then carried the woman’s body away from this place, there were only three of us now.“You have to pay for what you did to my father.”“My business with your father is finished, besides he can’t pay his debt to me, isn’t it all because of you? I know what you’re doing, Ariel.”Calm and seemingly in control, though I could see the fear in his eyes clouded by his vigilance. Ariel laughed; that sounded mocking. This man

I smiled again. Carlos came with a glass of warm chocolate milk; he smiled kindly at me before leaving my room. I dropped my ass into a soft leather chair, drank my chocolate milk up to half a glass, and left my room to attend a meeting. Joana and I got out of the elevator. When we got to the floor of the meeting room, a man who was the janitor of this building was cleaning the floor using a vacuum cleaner; at first glance, I seemed to recognize the man. Joana turned my attention to the topic of today’s meeting; when I entered the meeting room, all the financial staff of this foundation were already present. I immediately started the meeting, which I had postponed due to my lateness.

One Billion Marriage With Mr CEO
“Name your wish.”
“Not many, just one.” Rakia gave Dashtan a suspicious look. The man looked curious.
“Tell me you love me. I need your confession, that’s enough.”
Dashtan fell silent immediately and stared at Rakia with a surprised look.
“Give me time for that,” Dashtan said again after he had found the correct answer. Rakia sighed and nodded.
“Alright... I’ll give you until the divorce date you promised me back then, if you don’t say anything until then, we’ll divorce and Dalilah will be the mother of your children and you’ll never hear from me again in your life, as if you never knew a Rakia Adeline. “

Hold on or Divorce?

Chapter: EpilogueFour months later.Rakia was surprised when Dashtan hugged her from behind. Her belly now looked bloated. She had just turned off the stove after the fried rice was finished. Dashtan kissed her earlobe, and it caused a slight sting that thrilled Rakia. “Are you done?” asked Dashtan in a highly sensual tone. “Why? You want to fuck me again?” guessed Rakia, which made her husband chuckle. Rakia rolled her eyes. “We should do other things besides bed activities. Eat, walk, work, the world is big and beautiful and there are many things we can do.” It wasn’t that Rakia didn’t want to, but they had done it repeatedly last night. Dashtan, who had just come from Dubai and left for three days, immediately asked for her nightly allotment. “I’m away for three days, I’m a man, there’s a lot of temptation in Dubai,” Dashtan admitted. Rakia turned her body to face the man. She draped both arms around her husband’s neck. “Where did you go while in Dubai? Did Razak take you to a place wh

Chapter: Chapter 88Dashtan opened the door to the room he used as a reading room and found Rakia sitting on a comfortable sofa reading a book. The woman's attention was distracted by Dashtan in the doorway, who smiled and greeted her. "Hi, feeling better?" asked Dashtan as he approached Rakia and squatted in front of the woman. Rakia nodded with a gentle smile. "But the doctor still doesn't want me to go to work, are you home yet?" It was Rakia's turn to ask; it wasn't even lunchtime, and Dashtan was already home. "I want to take you somewhere." Dashtan said, which made Rakia frown. She then guessed. "Not fancy gifts again," Rakia said; she didn't really like the way Dashtan gave her gifts. It was always expensive stuff, not that she wasn't happy, but she still had to get used to using things bought with piles of money. Dashtan chuckled. A month had passed after all the problems between them and Dalilah were resolved. Dashtan divorced the woman, and Dalilah had to go to jail for the crime of att

Chapter: Chapter 87Staring at the footage Dashtan was watching on Rakia’s tablet in his workspace, Dashtan checked all the footage Rakia had managed to get from the surveillance cameras the woman had installed in Dalilah’s room. It was only a matter of waiting for the woman’s arrest warrant from the police so that the police could freely search all her belongings. Dashtan transferred all the footage to a small flash drive, and tomorrow, he will submit the data to the police station as additional evidence. After checking all the data, Dashtan went from his office to his bedroom; he met Dalilah, crossing the living room. “Hi, what’s going on? I heard someone came in and Rakia-““Enough of the pleasantries, as of this moment I am no longer your husband.”The words were so quick but heard in Dalilah’s ears that she could only be surprised with widened eyes for a split second. Her lips seemed to move to say something, but Dalilah was just silent; Dashtan immediately walked away after saying that. Dalilah co

Chapter: Chapter 86Dashtan arrived home and dashed into the house, which was currently quite crowded due to the arrival of the police and medics. Without caring about his surroundings, he immediately entered and looked for the figure that was the heart of his heart. When he saw Rakia being treated by the medics on the sofa in the living room, he could only stand still with his eyes filled with tears. He slowly approached the couch, distracted by the man’s arrival. “Hi...,” Rakia greeted softly with a hoarse voice.“Sorry, sir, she needs to be taken to the hospital immediately; the bullet is still inside and must be removed immediately to speed up healing.” Dashtan immediately nodded to the medic’s words. He lifted Rakia’s body, carried her to the ambulance, and followed a few minutes later after finishing his business with the police who arrested the perpetrator. Dashtan, with his murderous gaze, looked at the perpetrator, who two police officers now flanked with his hands cuffed behind his back. He re

Chapter: Chapter 85A week after Rakia regained consciousness, the woman asked to go home because she didn’t feel at home in the hospital. But that didn’t mean she was free from medical treatment. She still had to keep resting and using IVs to support her recovery. The wound she sustained on her shoulder had not completely dried up, leaving her with pain Rakia could not tolerate. As a result, Dashtan hired a doctor who would come every three days to monitor and check on Rakia’s condition—and also asked the gynecologist, whom Rakia consulted and checked herself, to go to the house to check on the woman’s womb. Dashtan became super protective, which bothered Rakia, but she tried to understand. She asked Pedro to do it, but Pedro was a heart specialist with a busy schedule every day, so he couldn’t make it. “Don’t forget to eat and take your medicine; I’ll be home by lunchtime. Call me quickly if anything happens or you need anything.” Dashtan babbled at length, and it made Rakia roll her eyes because her

Chapter: Chapter 84On a bright and cloudy Monday morning, Dashtan tried to go to the office and finish some work that had been neglected. Whether he wanted to or not, whether he liked it or not, as the CEO of a multinational company, he had a lot of work to do. Dashtan looked at his appearance in the mirror, which was not wearing a tie perfectly. He remembered the figure of Rakia, who always put on his link every morning. But the woman was still on the verge of life and death. He let out a rough breath and decided not to wear a tie that day. He removed it from his neck and threw it on the bed. He went to the wardrobe room to get a slim-fit suit and put it on, after which he left his room. He called his secretary to order breakfast. “Sir, today there will be a visitor from the police who wants to see you.” The secretary told him when he had just arrived and sat in his chair. He had forgotten about it because his mind had been in turmoil for the past few days. “Yes, let me know when they arrive.” Dasht

Workers moved between the vines with woven baskets hanging from their shoulders, their cheerful laughter blending with the chirping of birds overhead.It was harvest season.The busiest...And the most beautiful time of the year.Enola stood on the wooden observation deck overlooking the vineyard, quietly taking in the familiar view.She wore a simple ivory linen blouse tucked neatly into a pair of high-waisted beige trousers.

Camera flashes erupted every few seconds as journalists rehearsed their opening reports, waiting for the country's most anticipated trial to begin.Police officers formed multiple security lines around the courthouse entrance.

Built decades ago, the wooden structure served as a storage area for farming equipment on the ground floor, while the upper level offered an open resting space where workers often took breaks during harvest season.Today, it was quiet.Only the occasional rustle of leaves and distant laughter from vineyard workers drifted through the warm air.Enola sat near the wooden railing in her wheelchair, a cup of warm tea resting in her hands.She didn't drink it
