ログイン"I'm sorry I've caused you trouble." And in the end, an apology escaped Aria's lips. Jonatan smiled faintly at her sad face. At her age, managing a company this size certainly wouldn't be easy. Jonatan understood that. Just being able to get this far was already remarkable. "It's okay, Ma'am. I understand," Jonatan said. He then bowed his head and excused himself, leaving Aria still frustrated, though she easily concealed it with a sweet smile. "No. I can't go on like this," Aria muttered shortly after the door closed. "I have to see Hans." That decision brought Aria to Hans's apartment after returning from work. She was already very worried. She rang the doorbell several times, but no one came out. Aria rang the doorbell again, slightly hastily, until she heard the door open. "Oh my God, Hans! Where have you been? I've been..." Aria's sentence was cut off abruptly when she saw that the figure standing before her wasn't Hans. The figure was smiling sweetly at her. "Mis
"I want you to get pregnant soon." Elena's hug loosened upon hearing Jayden's words. She stared at her husband in confusion. "You want me to get pregnant soon?" Elena asked, making sure she heard correctly. Jayden nodded firmly. "Yes. You don't mind, do you?" he asked, the wrinkles on his forehead becoming very visible. Elena blinked a few times. Thinking. Maybe this was for the best. If they had their own child, Jayden would no longer have a reason to visit Juan. That meant Jayden wouldn't see Aria either, right? Something Elena desperately wanted. "Of course I don't mind, honey. I really want to have your child too," Elena said with a wide smile. Just the thought made her very happy. "Okay. We'll start a pregnancy program. Hopefully, we can have a child soon," Jayden said hopefully. Elena wasn't alone in her thoughts. Jayden felt the same way. He urged Elena to get pregnant soon so that something like today wouldn't happen again. Even though he would still provide for Juan as
"Why did I say that to Elena?" Jayden muttered. For some reason, he'd been losing control lately. Worse still, Elena was the victim. The woman he loved so much and should have made happy. Just like he promised. Jayden truly felt like the most cowardly man in the world, unable to keep his promises. It wasn't just him. "What's really happening to me?" Jayden asked someone. After Elena left, Jayden chose to return to his office. He didn't immediately pursue Elena because he knew that if his feelings were as turbulent as they were now, they would end up arguing instead of reconciling with Elena. Jayden needed time to calm down, and his office was the perfect place. He kept himself busy with all his work. By nightfall, he was still busy with files scattered on his desk and on his computer. It was already ten o'clock at night. Jayden let out a ragged breath before leaving. His footsteps led him to the master bedroom he shared with Elena—the one he had previously shared with Aria. He slo
In the end, Melia married Erwin, while Elena chose to live alone in a small rented house, which she also rented with Melia's money. She was too disappointed, or rather, hated, her own mother. Elena thought it would all end there. But she was wrong. Even though her mother no longer lived with her, news of her mother's second wife became a hot topic among her neighbors. The daughter of a seductress. The daughter of a husband-stealer. Elena's new nickname didn't stop there. The woman who claimed to be Mr. Erwin's first wife also constantly came and beat Elena. Cursing and insults seemed like a regular part of her daily routine. Elena became the perfect target for her anger. Elena's suffering was complete. Wanting to leave? But where? Elena had no purpose. She even considered dying. After all, she had no reason to live. That's when Jayden arrived. He was like a guardian angel to Elena. The most comfortable and solid place for Elena to lean on. Elena's desire to die gradually dis
Elena downed almost half of the can of soda. Her parched throat finally quenched her thirst, albeit with an uncomfortable taste. She should have bought water instead of soda. "This is for your face," someone said, handing Elena a bag of ice cubes. "Thanks, Jay," Elena said with a faint smile as she took the ice cubes and placed them on her face. Jayden, her boyfriend since college, sat beside her. They had known each other since high school but hadn't started dating until now. He looked at Elena with concern. How could she not be flushed, with the corners of her lips slightly blue from a small cut. "That woman came again?" Jayden asked, pulling out some ointment from his bag. "She comes almost every day," Elena replied in an irritated tone. Jayden squeezed the white ointment onto his fingertip and gently rubbed it on the corner of Elena's injured lip. Elena winced slightly at the cold, stinging sensation of the ointment as it touched her skin. "Elena?" Jayden called. "
**Flashback** "Ah!" Elena winced as her body hit the asphalt, scattering trash everywhere. Her body slammed hard into the yard of the house she—no, I mean, the one her mother rented for her to live in. A house that was far from decent, but it was the only place she could find shelter. "Where's your damn mother, huh!" snapped the woman in luxurious clothes, pointing at Elena's face. The woman also dragged the sleeping Elena to the front of the house. Elena turned with a blank stare. "I don't know," she replied flatly and got up, ignoring the bleeding on her knee from scraping against the asphalt. The woman seemed to feel no pain. "How could you not know! You're that bitch's daughter," the woman snapped, gripping Elena's small arm tightly. Elena chuckled, as if mocking the woman in her fifties. "Just so you know, I never considered her my mother anymore." Her brown eyes began to burn and redden. "I NEVER THOUGHT OF HER AS MY MOTHER SINCE SHE MARRIED YOUR HUSBAND!" Elena shouted so
Elena was about to leave, but Jayden held her hand tightly. She didn't turn around, and Jayden's grip tightened."Ah! Jayden, let me go!" Elena turned around, feeling the pain in her wrist.How shocked she was when she saw Jayden looking at her with tears gathering in his eyes."Jayden, you..." Ele
The guests had arrived, and it was time for the event to begin. Jayden was called onto the stage to officially unveil the design ceremony for the luxury apartment building that will be built in downtown Alatha. Applause and praise poured out for Jayden. Elvis and Jane looked proudly at their son, a
A happy expression radiated clearly on Elena's beautiful face. Especially when she saw Aria walking over to Jayden and holding Baby Juan. The woman seemed to deliberately show off her affection for Jayden in front of the woman.Meanwhile, Aria herself was confused by the situation. didn't they just
"Tara!" Aria called."Yes, Ma'am," Tara said as she arrived in front of Aria. The young woman was somewhat surprised by the situation. Aria was crying and Hans looked listless."Please escort Mr. Hans out," Aria said, leaving without waiting for Tara's response.Hans could only sigh heavily as Aria
