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
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
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
Chapter 61"You shouldn't speak recklessly! What have you done to Jonathan? And did you intentionally follow us?" Bian asked impatiently. He was afraid that something had happened to his only sibling."Of course, he's already dead. If not, how could I have met the woman I love and my future child? Oh, by the way, after our last encounter, it seems like it'll take a few more weeks until you give birth, right? I've been counting and can't wait to become a father." The man smiled as he scanned Melati's perfectly round belly.The man couldn't wait to become a father, and if possible, he would take his son with him along with Melati by his side.Teguh would eliminate anyone who tried to stand in his way, including Bian or Edwin.Since Wina's case happened, Teguh actually didn't run away and had been staying in the same city. However, he was being protected by Burhan.The man protected him because Teguh also helped in finding several young women for Burhan to sleep with, while also helping
Chapter 62"Okay, I'll hand over Melati to you. But on the condition that you don't beat me. And in the future, you can't retaliate against me, Ed." Teguh spoke. However, he couldn't bear to hurt the child that was about to be born."What kind of agreement is that? I can't promise you anything," Edwin said, gritting his teeth. Teguh had done too much already. Of course, he had to face the consequences of his actions.Edwin and Jovan searched for a long time, but it seemed that Teguh was quite good at hiding."Well then, I won't give Melati to you!""Suit yourself, if you want to see your child in her stomach die and can't be saved. You might lose the baby. And it will take a long time for you to get a child of your own from another woman." Edwin tried to scare Teguh."You dare to threaten me like that!" Jovan also looked at him fiercely."We're just saying what we should say. Quickly ha
Chapter 63The little baby wriggled with his characteristic cry. Melati had just cleaned herself up, helped by Sumi. As she entered the room, Edwin's eyes blinked as Melati only wore a batik cloth on her chest. Realizing she was being watched, Melati quickly walked into the room. Edwin himself immediately looked away. His heart beat faster with a longing for Melati. After the woman left, there were many things he regretted. Although brief, Melati's presence made his frozen heart slowly melt. Unfortunately, Edwin realized it too late.Jovan seemed to be ready, wearing Edwin's sweater. This morning he would return to the city. It was impossible for him to stay while Edwin's family and company needed his dedication. At least Jovan was Edwin's right-hand man, so he knew a lot about everything related to the company. That's why he was temporarily replacing Edwin's position."Be careful on the road. Give my regards to Mother. Tell her I'll co
