Mobil Maximilian berhenti tepat di depan rumah sederhana yang masih terawat dengan apik. Aku menatapnya sejenak, membiarkan kesunyian malam membingkai pikiranku yang kacau. Cahaya di sekitar taman dan rumah utama belum menyala. Wajar saja, sebab aku baru kembali setelah perjalanan panjang yang melelahkan.Sebuah klik terdengar, tanda bahwa Maximilian telah melepas sabuk pengamannya. Ia tahu bahwa percakapan ini akan segera berakhir dengan sia-sia. Sejak awal, aku telah menolak segala bentuk bujukannya, termasuk tawaran dengan bayaran tertinggi yang bisa ia berikan. Sejujurnya, aku lelah menghadapi desakan demi desakan, seolah-olah keinginanku tak memiliki arti."Yang kuinginkan bukan ketenaran atau hal-hal menyenangkan yang bisa kau beri, Max. Sungguh. Ini jawaban dari lubuk hatiku yang terdalam. Setelah kau tahu siapa aku, seharusnya kau juga paham mengapa pilihanku seperti ini."Aku menatap lurus ke depan, berusaha menghindari sorot mata Maximilian yang jelas-jelas menunjukkan frust

Maria stared at the food she had just finished making. Occasionally she asked the main gatekeeper if the guests of this family had arrived. Maria had no idea that the woman really existed here.Actually, Maria didn't want to make any food, but she realized that her position here was only that of a butler. The person in charge of taking care of all the needs in this big house, especially the banquets.“They're coming!Fortunately, the glass that Maria was arranging did not slip from her grip. She rubbed her chest slowly. Ordered some of the servants to prepare to serve well even though ... half-heartedly. The first time she met the beautiful woman, Maria felt sympathy. How her love story with her master had to end because of a marriage arranged by the great master.She also thought that the woman who bore the status of Mrs. Roderick Langley was just taking advantage of the opportunity.

Isa ate calmly. He tasted everything that was presented in front of him and occasionally commented on it. Occasionally he also talked to Rick who was sitting next to him. Sometimes he also helped the man to pick up certain types of food. As if this dining room was under his control.Oh, don't forget to be as sweet as possible to Marguerite Langley, who he didn't expect to come down to greet him. For Isa, it didn't matter if the middle-aged woman didn't greet him. His priority tonight was to spend time with Rick in this house. He silently announced that he would replace Eva's position here.A wish that she had once buried because Rick had arbitrarily agreed to her father's ridiculous request. But the fire was burning even more fiercely to be resolved because this man who smiled warmly in front of her would not let her go so easily. This gave Isa confidence that the time would come when she would achieve her goal.“The cook in this house is very reliable,” praised Isa with a smile as sw

Evangeline dried her hands after everything was settled. Assisted by Harley in tidying up the somewhat chaotic kitchen area, they were all able to sit back and enjoy the passing of the day. In fact, Evangeline could have done everything herself, but the girl she had only just met, not yet a day old, did not hesitate to get involved in the kitchen sink.She said, “You have prepared us a delicious breakfast. A lunch that makes us reluctant to leave the sofa. Surely it's not just washing dishes, I can't do it?”Not only Harvey, Giselle, and Ursula shared the same task. Evangeline was at a loss for words to refuse and ask them to sit still.“We have to move around a lot, Eva,” Giselle argued with a crisp laugh. In her hand was a vacuum cleaner ready to clean the remaining dirt on the living room floor.Meanwhile, Ursula argued, ”I have to burn the new calories that have entered this body. Blame Eva for serving delicious beef teriyaki today.”Never mind. The three of them are indeed hardhe

“Please enjoy,” I said, offering tea and coffee to the guests. I didn't expect today's visit to leave me with so many questions.“You look well, Eva.” The middle-aged woman sitting in front of me smiled warmly. Since getting out of the car, her eyes had not looked away from me. There was warmth in her gaze, a clear sense of relief. She was very grateful to see that I was doing well.“Praise God, I'm fine. How about Mommy? Always taking your medication regularly, right? I've told Maria to keep monitoring the consumption of medication and vitamins.”Marguerite's smile widened, while her son just grumbled in disapproval. His face was turned away, and Roderick showed an unmistakable aura of dislike here. I tried to ignore him, even though my heart was beating a little faster.“I didn't used to want to live anymore—”“Mom,” Roderick warned immediately. His tone of voice was impatient. ”I agreed to your request to meet Eva, but not to talk nonsense.”He got up from where he was sitting, cho

I didn't expect you to turn to another man so quickly.I almost dropped the plate I had just washed. I didn't expect there to come a time when I would be alone with a man I didn't want to see again. Although... it's difficult. Since his arrival, I have kept my distance so that we don't greet each other. Occasionally I would only interrupt the conversation with small talk.I tried to normalize myself. I couldn't be affected by his arrival. Out of the corner of my eye, I realized that the man was not far from my back. The small kitchen and the placement of furniture, which was far different from where I used to live, made us quite close.“What do you need?” I asked, trying to calm myself. I didn't want my hands to tremble even though my heart was praying that Roderick would quickly leave me alone.The intimidation that Roderick brought to my life made it easy for me to remember that the man didn't care where he put pressure. Like now, as soon as

On the way home, Marguerite Langley didn't say much. She looked straight ahead while occasionally enjoying the nighttime road. Sometimes they were still caught in a little traffic jam at some central point, but it didn't last long. For the rest, their trip back to the Langley residence went smoothly.“I hope this is the first and last visit to Evangeline's house, Mom.” Roderick Langley said while adjusting his seat. He had wanted to talk since earlier, but the interruption of the many messages that Isadora Kensington sent made him impatient to approach the woman immediately.“You forbid your mother from having a relationship with someone else?” Marguerite glanced at her son. There was resentment and anger that she could not express easily.“Mommy can have relationships with other people, as long as it's not Evangeline,” Roderick said in a final tone. ‘Instead of spending unnecessary time with her, why doesn't Mommy try to get close to my future wife?”Marguerite's stomach felt like it

“You don't need to complain like that, Isa,” Samantha laughed in response to all the chatter from the woman she could rely on. She didn't expect Isa's move to be so smooth and flawless, and that it had been carefully considered. She placed the cup of tea she had made especially for the woman in front of her. ”Drink this so you can calm down.”“How can I calm down?” Isa sighed irritably. ‘I believed I could influence Ursula. But it turns out she's just like Giselle. I have to retaliate for what Ursula did to me yesterday.”Samantha laughed. ’Do you really want to be friends with them?”Isa sighed softly. “You know that if I'm in their group, I can have much more influence. What's the point of that if not to enjoy it together?”The woman who owned Sams Group laughed even harder. ”You really take advantage of everything within your grasp, don't you? You've really thought through what you want to do.”Isa grinned. She slowly sipped the tea made especially for her. “I should have done this

“Why do you look upset, Isa?“ Rick asked, glancing at the woman sitting next to him. Since the press conference, which he had also attended, his wife had only smiled slightly and said little.“I don't know,” Isa sighed deeply. “Maybe I'm tired because work at Sams is quite demanding.”Rick furrowed his brow, a bit surprised by Isa's words. “You've only been working for two days. And I think you've been out of the office since lunch today.”The woman chuckled. ”You're right. I intentionally took some time off to pick up Ursula because I felt she's been helping us a lot at Unique, right?”Rick nodded.“But if this latest choice is really the best, I think we should welcome Eva properly.”Rick chose not to speak. He focused on the road ahead, which was no longer as empty as usual. The crucial hour had trapped them in traffic, and they had to be patient to reach their destination: Dominique's residence.“Are you happy to meet Eva, dear?”The man glanced at her with a sneer. “What do you m

“Are they here yet?” asked Rick, checking the watch on his left wrist. It had been almost an hour since Max had confirmed their arrival time.“Just a moment, sir. Their car has entered the lobby and is being directed to the upper floor to avoid the reporters. They are all after a story about Miss Eva.”Rick quickened his pace toward the meeting room. At least he had to entertain the guests properly; he couldn't afford to tarnish his image further. And he couldn't afford to lose focus either.“Mrs. Isa is also on her way to the office, sir.”Rick's steps slowed. “For what?”“She wants to meet Unique's new icon. It seems like Mrs. Isa is giving her full attention to sales. I've seen her discussing things with Mr. Jacob a lot over the past few days. With Mrs. Samantha, of course.”Rick chose to keep that information to himself and wait for the right time to talk to his wife. Since the investor in Milan had caused problems, his concentration had been quite disturbed. He didn't have much t

Rick's anger was pent up, his hands clenched, and he had cursed countless times, but the result was still the same. It wasn't getting done quickly. Indeed, checking several parts took time. But still, as long as Unique was in his hands, and as long as he was under his father's supervision, there had never been a problem like this before.To make matters worse, there was the new project he had recently been assigned. He had already warned the staff involved to focus more, as the production target was far higher than the previous year. There was trust, but also hard work to prove they could deliver.“No word from Gustav yet?” Rick asked, sitting down roughly in his chair. It had been two days since the bad news reached him via email. He couldn't take it lightly at that time. He immediately took action, one of which was to ask Gustav to check it out directly.He didn't know what his trusted employee was doing in Jazeran, but what was clear was that the distance between Milan and Jazeran

“How's it going?” Samantha asked, a little excited. They were enjoying some time together during what was actually a pretty busy day. But for Samantha, being here with her favorite cup of coffee and some snacks to go with it was no problem. After all, Sams Group had started to take off since the woman in front of her got involved.That's also why Samantha wasn't going to let go of the woman who was now part of her family.“I've already tried to convince Rick,” Isa sighed softly. ‘But it seems like my persuasion isn't working yet. He just said he'd think about it.”“Did you give him the most convincing reason?’ Samantha asked with a soft laugh. ”Usually, when you give that reason, a man as stubborn as Rick can't resist it.”“I did.” Isa's shoulders slumped weakly. ‘But it's okay. I'll wait patiently for his decision. I'm sure he won't be able to refuse me easily.”Samantha nodded confidently. ’No problem. I would be helped if I had an assistant, but since this position is meant for you

“According to sources that Mommy can trust, there is indeed a bit of debate regarding the marketing that has been going on. Although some of Unique's top brass know who you are, Eva, because this is outside of Unique, you are considered someone who works where you can bring them certain benefits.”Rita's explanation to Eva and Max made sense.“But this is too much of a coincidence, isn't it?” Eva asked, sighing softly. ”Maybe if they were targeting Giselle or Harvey, I wouldn't be so suspicious.”Rita nodded, understanding the concerns of the woman in front of her. When the car carrying them stopped at one of the tall buildings in the center of Yazeran, the person Rita didn't want to see greeted them. With a mischievous grin and an overly casual demeanor.Despite knowing him for quite some time, the memory of their conversation that night—when they had accidentally met at Eva's house—still made Rita's heart race with irritation. And that irritation only grew as the man's childish beha

“Thank you for helping me,” said Rita with a slight smile. ”And your cookies are getting better and better.”Danisa pouted. “I went to all that trouble to go straight to the kitchen. Why does it still feel like something's missing?” But then she laughed. “I guess the kitchen just isn't my thing.”“You're right.” Rita laughed along with her friend. “Tell Eva I said hi. I wonder when we'll get to try her cooking.”Rita gently rubbed Danisa's shoulder. “You're not the only one who feels that way, Danisa. I feel the same.”“Especially you, Rita.” Danisa smiled faintly. “Are you really okay with what happened? You know, not talking to you has been torturous for me. That woman really went too far in how she treated her own mother-in-law.”“I never considered her part of the Dominique family.” Rita giggled. ‘Don't worry, I can still hold myself together. As long as my silence is seen as stupidity and helplessness in Isa's eyes, I don't mind. Just know that I consider you more than a friend.”

Eva sat comfortably on the long sofa right next to the large glass window. The view she could enjoy was of Yazeran at night. The first time she came to this partly sandy and quite hot place, Eva fell in love. She was captivated by the ethnic patterns on the clothing and the ornaments found on almost every public building there.And because of that, most of the souvenirs she brought back from Yazeran were woven fabrics with unique characteristics, serving as a sign that the fabric was a souvenir from that desert region. Under Giselle's creative hands, the fabric became a comfortable dress that made Eva feel close to Yazeran.That dress was also what she wore for dinner with Max this time. It wasn't unusual for Eva to hear compliments from the man. And his annoying behavior, almost to the point of being infuriating, but Eva couldn't just brush him off. There was always something he did to make Eva end up under his control again.Including now. Where Eva was staying in the famous Paradis
