Forced Marriage Chapter 53
Chapter 53the next morning.Melati woke up when she heard a knock on her bedroom door. The woman immediately blinked because she still felt sleepy. Last night she fell asleep after crying until exhausted.The knock sounded again, and inevitably made Melati get up and peek through the small hole in the door. He was afraid that Teguh or Edwin would come.Feeling safe enough, Melati opened the door and found the hotel clerk standing in a friendly manner."Sorry to bother you madam, earlier a taxi driver handed over his wallet to the information department. After opening it, it was yours."Melati immediately took the item which was hers. She didn't know if his wallet was really missing, even though last night he deliberately lied to cover his tracks."Please check first, maybe something is missing.""Everything is safe. Thank you," Melati said awkwardly because the people in front of her had definitely seen her swollen face. The woman took out the green money as a reward, closed the doo
Forced Marriage Chapter 54
Chapter 54"We're late, Ed." Jovan spoke sluggishly, as soon as he got word from someone on his phone."Has Melati left yet?""Yeah. Looks like he knows we're looking for him." Unfortunately they were too late.Edwin could only take a deep breath. If only he could protect that woman, surely Melati wouldn't have to go.Edwin truly regretted his current state of not being able to be in two places at once. He secretly promised in his heart that he would accept Melati no matter what the situation was after she was found."Calm down, at least we know that Melati is in Bandung. That means it's getting closer to Gunadi's house." Jovan patted Edwin's shoulder lightly. The man knew how upset Edwin felt because he couldn't take care of Melati.Jovan could also see how Edwin cared for Melati, not just pity. But more than that.*****Vienna stepped hastily into the room where Kirana was resting. Some time ago the doctor had examined him and replaced his bandages with new ones. Injuries to the hea
Forced Marriage Chapter 55
Chapter 55Edwin ran as hard as he could to find Vienna. In fact, every seller visited because of worry. Edwin also tried to contact the girl's cellphone, but it was still not active."Where are you going, Vienna!" Edwin did not give up. He immediately dialed the police number to report a kidnapping. But the reply from the other side disappointed him."I'm sorry, Sir. This case can be reported to us only after one twenty-four hours." Edwin immediately hung up and almost threw his phone away in annoyance."Edwin, what's going on? You seem really agitated." Jovan immediately approached after seeing Edwin acting unusually from a distance."Vienna, Jo. Vienna is gone!""Are you sure? I had a brief chat with him earlier on the phone." Jovan asked seriously. Even earlier he and Vienna had talked on the phone to ask where he was."Kirana told me, Jo." Edwin immediately explained the previous incident. Stupidly he felt guilty for not knowing this would happen."Quickly call someone, Jo. I wan

Chapter 56"Mr. Edwin, there seems to be someone in this room!" A tall man in a black shirt said seriously to Edwin and Jovan. They were anxiously searching for Vienna."Quickly, let's break down the door!" Jovan replied, walking towards the door. With a bit of a start, they broke down the door in three blows. The dark room was exposed perfectly after Jovan turned on the lamp."Vienna!" Jovan ran towards the bed where Vienna was almost half-naked, curled up with her mouth sealed with duct tape."Find whoever did this!" Jovan said. He grabbed a blanket and covered Vienna's body before releasing the ties on her hands and feet. Edwin was also shocked by Vienna's condition. He was aided by his men, who promptly went to the window where there was a man running away without wearing a shirt."That jerk! How could he do this to Vienna?!" Edwin growled and ran out of the room, leaving Jovan and Vienna. Vienna burst into tears immediately, while Jovan hugged her.Teguh was still sitting in his

Chapter 57"Have you found the owner of the car?" Edwin asked impatiently. His men had followed the suspect and managed to track him down last night. Edwin hoped to receive good news as soon as possible."Yes, sir. But after investigating, we found out it was a rental car. Someone rented it under someone else's name," the men reported."Is that so?" Edwin let out a frustrated sigh. "What about Teguh? Has he returned home?""It seems not. We have asked his wife and housekeeper, but they have no idea where he is.""Damn it!" Edwin groaned irritably. "Alright, you guys rest and make sure to keep a watch on his house. If anything suspicious happens, contact me immediately.""Yes, sir." The two men who gave the report then left.All night, Edwin couldn't sleep as he thought about Vienna and his missing wife Melati.He was restless thinking about all the things that had been troubling him lately."So how is she?" Edwin asked anxiously when Jovan contacted him to inform him of the results of

Chapter 58"Oh my goodness, Edwin! Wake up! You were the one who came here, you were the one who got angry, and now you're the one who's passed out. What an oddball," Anita heaved a heavy sigh, shaking Edwin's body to try to wake him up. But even after several moments had passed, Edwin still didn't wake up. Anita had to call her domestic helper to come and help her lay Edwin down on the sofa."Should I call the doctor, ma'am?" the domestic helper asked Anita. The middle-aged woman under her employ had a good idea of the problems that Edwin and Anita were facing, since her voice was loud enough to be heard from nearby."Let it be. I will contact Jovan. He knows more about his friend's condition," Anita said, quickly looking for her phone that was in her room, before returning to the living room. At least she wanted to try to contact Jovan, and it took a few moments, but eventually the call was connected."Auntie Anita, why did you contact me?" Jovan asked on the other end. Anita began
Forced Marriage Chapter 59
Chapter 59Vienna's eyes widened as she saw who was moving quickly and approaching her. Teguh, the man, immediately stuffed a cloth into her mouth so that she couldn't scream."Uhmm...uhmm...!"Teguh grinned cunningly."Be silent, and do not make a sound!""Uhmm...uhmm...!""Do you really want to live after getting a stain on your body, hm?! I will help accelerate your death!"Teguh grinned and immediately pulled the IV from Vienna's hand and dragged the weak and painful woman. Vienna was helpless and surrendered as Teguh dragged her away.A nurse who saw them being taken away immediately called for help.When several supervisors and visitors approached, they were too late because Teguh had already entered the elevator and the doors were closed tightly.Teguh took Vienna to the top floor and kept dragging her to the edge, where they now stood on the fifteenth floor of the fifteen-story building, with a busy highway underneath with vehicles passing by.Vienna screamed hysterically as T
Forced Marriage Chapter 60
Chapter 60The sun was shining brightly, illuminating the mountains that were still shrouded in mist. The chirping of birds sounded melancholic in Melati's ears, accompanying the remaining dew drops from the leaves to the ground which then evaporated upwards, turning into clouds."Are you happy being in this place?" Someone's voice made Melati who was breathing in the fresh air turn to look at her. The woman immediately rubbed her swollen belly and smiled cheerfully, sharing Melati's happiness."Of course, this place is like the best healing spot I can find. Besides, I find a lot of peace in this place." Melati's previously depressed face slowly turned into joy."Thank God. Your gestational age is getting older, and according to the estimate, two weeks from now, right?" The woman was impatiently wanting to hold the baby in her cradle. After her child grew up, she had no more small toys."Yes, you're right." Melati smiled sadly. There was a lot on her mind right now.How would her baby
