“Glad to see you're okay, Uncle,” Maya said calmly. The girl didn't miss the slightest change in the expression on Anton's face, as she watched the grown man narrow his eyes slightly when he saw Maya, who was always full of meaning in her every action. The two people stared at each other as if they were trying to understand each other's intentions. The atmosphere between the two of them was definitely not good. However, Diana who was naive immediately approached Maya with slightly reddened eyes.“Finola … Please forgive me for being a nuisance to you at that time. I also can't come to visit you before finishing my exam. I ….”“It's okay. You were just trying to help me. What happened to me back then was completely out of your control, Diana.”Diana stopped talking when Finola gave her a friendly pat and smiled gently. The girl's eyes filled with tears. This was the first time Diana had seen danger that close. And maybe the first time too, someone saved her without hesitation like Maya.
“Why are you looking at me as if I took what you have all along? I just helped Diana, and we become natural friends before. She recognized me as Evan's wife and took the initiative to ask me to be her friend at our first meeting. Diana is a very nice girl, and I thought we could get to know each other better through Diana. But seeing that you don't seem to like our friendship, you've unknowingly made me sad, Uncle.”Anton secretly clenched his fists when Maya dared to imitate what he said about Evan at their first meeting. The man was still trying to put on a friendly face, as he immediately denied Maya's words in a familiar tone.“How can I not be happy to see you have a good relationship with Diana, Finola? Please, don't get me wrong. I'm just tired lately and may have unknowingly offended you with my expression. You saved Diana from a dangerous situation. I'm deeply grateful for that, Finola.”Maya openly smiled mockingly after she heard Anton's sweet words. After Maya had solid evi
In a bustling office, a police officer is tugging at his hair in frustration as he again can't find a thread in a case that has dragged down the name of a prominent family. He had worked day and night to find a bright spot in this case. Yet, every time he tried to do so, he would only be slapped with the harsh reality that he would not find any clues in the case. The case looked so clean that the police were forced to call it a machine malfunction in the accident file.That police officer couldn't give up, no matter how desperate he was right now. It's not just the police who wants to make up for his past mistakes. The police officer had also promised Evan's wife that he would definitely find out what was wrong with the accident report. He promised to help the family solve this complicated case. And he was going to give Evan the justice he deserved all those years ago.“Kris, want to have dinner with us? The captain said he would treat all of us today.”The police officer, who was call
“What were you thinking when you bullied Finola in front of everyone, Grace?! We just got out of trouble a few weeks ago. And now, you're out again to make trouble. Do you really want our family to crumble under Evan's pressure, huh?!"Grace sobbed as the girl looked at her father, who was panting after being satisfied with scolding her. Because she accidentally caused a bigger fuss after injuring Finola, she was forced to be taken to the police station by the security at the exam. Luckily for her, her grandfather immediately helped her free without causing a bigger fuss as soon as he heard the news that his granddaughter was in trouble. The old man always loved his only granddaughter. But the father had another matter. Grace already knew that nothing good would happen if her father found out that she had gone to find trouble with Finola without the man knowing.Grace had expected that her father would be angry once she returned home. But the girl did not expect, her father would be an
One day after Max reportedly died because of a heart attack, Maya received word that the father of the original body she used was buried in her family's suburban cemetery. Looking back at all the harsh treatment from that person, one would definitely not expect Maya to come to the funeral. Evan also deliberately didn't even discuss the matter in front of Maya. But unexpectedly, Maya herself came to Evan with furrowed brows and asked the man's permission to come to her father's funeral.When Evan asked why Maya wanted to come to the funeral, Maya could only be silent because she didn't know the answer herself. Maybe it was her body's desire, or her body still had some pity for the man. Maya continues to feel uneasy since she heard the news that Max had died suddenly. She clearly hates irresponsible men like Max. Her heart, however, still ached as she remembered the news over and over again.Perhaps it's true the saying that blood is thicker than anything else. Maya might not have any bo
Anton looked at his family photo with a deep gaze. The man's lips slowly formed a thin line, as his hand moved to cover the photo, before he leaned back lazily in his chair.Recently, Anton was really in an annoying situation. He, who usually binds people, now turns to be tied by someone else. His movements weren't free, even if he had been promised it would be safe to do anything to Evan and his wife.Apart from Maya, who from time to time would play with his daughter to prove that she was indeed controlling his daughter's life, Anton was also starting to be troubled by Evan, who suddenly acted as if the man was no longer afraid of Anton. The man openly started his fight with Anton, to reclaim what he had stolen before.But the most disgusting thing is still Maya's act of blatantly using his daughter to control his actions. Not only did she enjoy provoking him, the sly girl was also miraculously able to survive whenever he planned an assassination directed at her. Maya acted as if she
Maya woke up to the sound of an alarm that was supposed to wake her up. The girl immediately sat up before anyone else could wake her up. Maya did a simple stretch, before opening her bedroom window to stand on her private balcony. Evan's house is always surrounded by trees that cover his yard. Although the air wasn't as good as in Evan's villa in the village, the air quality in Evan's house wasn't too bad and had a slight floral scent when Maya took a deep breath there.This was Maya's first day to actually attending her lectures. She was supposed to repeat her test next year after she missed another test session because she had to be taken to the hospital. But thanks to Evan's help and the university that are embarrassed because an unwanted incident happened at their place, Maya finally able to repeat the test because the accident wasn't really her fault. Of course, Maya got a satisfactory score in the follow-up test. She managed to enroll on the university she wanted, the universit
Maya's trip when the girl was with Evan was short as usual. Maya felt she had just left Evan's yard, but now they had arrived at the gates of the university where Maya would be studying from now on. As usual, Evan's car will be the center of attention of people who happen to see the car coming. Maya could only smile knowingly. At the beginning of her arrival at Evan's house, even she wasn't used to all these kinds of luxuries.This kind of attention is also what makes Maya go to great lengths to make sure that everyone knows that she took the follow-up exam because of her accident. Maya didn't want people to think she was taking advantage of Evan's position because Maya never knew when people would use that excuse to ruin her name.For example, Maya could feel gazes directed at her from all directions. Some of them had feelings like pure curiosity, while most of them were full of judging and watching eyes. It seemed, almost everyone had heard of the assault that happened to her on the
