Adven menggenggam erat handponenya dengan senyuman cerah. Saat ini, ia tengah berdiri dikeramaian, menunggu rambu lalu lintas berubah agar bisa menyebrang. Seharian Adven sibuk bekerja, menyelesaikan segala sesuatu lebih cepat karena akan mengambil cuti selama sepekan. “Aku akan datang ke rumahmu sepulang bekerja,” jawab Adven. “Sekarang, Adven. Aku sudah ada di depan kantormu, jadi bisakah kau keluar sebentar? Ini sangat penting.” Seketika Adven melihat ke sebrang jalan yang berjarak tiga puluh meter dari keberadaannya. Diantara keramaian lalu lalang kendaraan, Adven lihat siluet tubuh calon isterinya tengah berdiri mengenakan gaun warna lilac. “Aku sudah ada di luar, lihatlah ke persimpangan jalan,” jawab Adven dengan tangan terangkat melambai, memberitahu Arumy akan keberadaannya sekarang dimana. “tunggu sebentar, aku akan segera kesana.” Adven segera memutuskan sambungan telephone dan melihat kepenjuru arah dengan tidak sabaran, ingin segera pergi menyebrang, agar bisa berjumpa dengan Arumy, wanita yang akan Adven nikahi tiga hari lagi. Sunny ibunya Arumy, dan Anna ibunya Adven, mereka berdua adalah teman yang sudah lama terpisah. Tiga tahun yang lalu, secara kebetulan Sunny menjadi guru privat adik Adven. Hubungan Sunny dan Anna yang kembali merekat, secara tidak langsung mempertemukan Adven dan Arumy. Semuanya berlangsung mengalir begitu saja, reuni pertemanan kedua ibu mereka membawa hubungan Adven dan Arumy berakhir di pelaminan. Ditengah kesibukan pusat ibu kota itu, lampu rambu lalu lintas yang telah lama dinanti akhirnya berubah. Satu-persatu kendaraan berhenti, memberi waktu para pejalan kaki untuk menyebrang. Dari berbagai arah, orang-orang langsung melangkah menuju tujuan. Jalanan itu ramai, dan Adven ada di antara salah satu mereka. Wajah Adven terangkat dengan mata berbinar, melihat keberadaan Arumy yang semakin jelas seiring dengan langkah kakinya yang mendekati sebrang jalan. Namun kebahagiaan itu tak bertahan lama. Kilau di mata Adven pecah oleh teriakan kencang yang mengoyak udara. Dalam sepersekian detik, sebuah mobil melesat tanpa kendali, menerobos rambu lalu lintas, lalu menghantam tubuh-tubuh pejalan kaki. Kendaraan itu berdecit tajam kehilangan kendali, berakhir menubruk Adven yang tidak sempat menghindar. Tubuh Adven menghantam kaca depan mobil, suara retak menggema bersamaan dengan benturan. Kendaraan yang tetap bergerak memutar tubuh Adven di atas kap sebelum akhirnya terlempar kembali dan berakhir tergeletak di atas aspal. Kerasnya hantaman itu, membuat Adven hanya merasakan dingin dari darah yang becucuran, sekujur tubuhnya lemah tidak berdaya sampai membuatnya tidak mampu menggerakan satu jari pun. Penglihatan Adven mulai berkabut putih, samar-samar ia melihat orang-orang berdiri terpaku ditempat masing-masing, kebisingan berubah hening begitu mereka semua menyaksikan kecelakaan hebat yang terjadi. Bibir Adven yang mendadak kering tercekat tidak mampu berbicara. Ditengah ketidak berdayaan itu, hatinya memanggil Arumy, berharap agar kekasihnya tidak melihat apa yang sudah terjadi padanya saat ini. Ini bukanlah pemandangan yang patut Arumy lihat.. Dibawah tatapan sayu dan air mata yang tergenang itu, perlahan mata Adven terpejam kehilangan kesadaran. *** Aroma obat-obatan yang tajam mengganggu indra penciuman. Saat sepasang mata itu akhirnya terbuka, suara rintihan lolos dari bibir pucatnya, mewakili seberapa menyiksanya sakit yang tengah ditanggung, sampai-sampai tenggorkannya perih saat menerima sapuan udara. Diambang kesadaran yang baru kembali, seorang dokter dan dua perawat datang memeriksanya, berkali-kali mengajak Adven berbicara untuk memastikan respon saraf-sarafnya. Butuh waktu yang cukup lama untuk Adven mulai memberi respon saat namanya dipanggil. Seiring dengan kesadaran yang telah pulih sepenuhnya, samar-samar Adven teringat apa yang telah terjadi, hingga membuatnya terbaring tidak berdaya di ranjang rumah sakit. Adven ditabrak oleh sebuah kendaraan saat akan menyebrang menemui Arumy. Jari-jari Adven bergerak lemah, ketidak mampuan tubuhnya untuk bangun dari tempat tidur menyadarkan dia bahwa kini kondisinya tidak sedang baik-baik saja. “Tanggal berapa sekarang?” bisik Adven dengan suara yang serak kering. “20 November. Anda, koma selama dua hari.” Napas Adven tertahan sesaat, dia tidak menyangka telah menghabiskan waktunya dua hari di rumah sakit menjelang hari pernikahan yang akan diselenggarakan esok. Wajah Adven bergerak pelan, menatap ke arah celah pintu ruangan yang memperlihatkan ada kedua orang tuanya dan sang adik yang tengah menanti kabar. Lalu Arumy? Hati Adven digelayuti oleh rasa bersalah, memikirkan keadaan Arumy yang mungkin tengah menangis dalam kebimbangan, karena pria yang akan menikahinya justru berada dalam keadaan koma menjelang hari bahagia mereka. Pandangan Adven berpindah pada dokter yang tengah menyuntikan sesuatu ke dalam infusannya. “Apa yang terjadi dengan tubuh saya, Dokter?” tanyanya ragu-ragu. Nalurinya merasakan, akan suatu hal buruk yang harus dia terima. “Anda mengalami gegar otak yang cukup serius. Sesungguhnya, melihat Anda bangun tanpa melupakan apapun adalah suatu keajaiban yang luar biasa, Tuan Adven,” jawab dokter itu menggantung dan tidak berapa lama kemudian kembali bicara, “Sayangnya, kedua kaki Anda mengalami cedera yang sangat serius, untuk sementara waktu Anda harus menggunakan kursi roda.” Adven meremas permukaan selimutnya menyalurkan ketakutan. “Apa saya akan lumpuh?” “Saya harap itu tidak terjadi, Tuan Adven. Saya yakin Anda pasti akan kembali seperti sedia kala meski harus melewati terapi panjang.” Mata Adven berkabut menahan sakit dipukul kenyataan, jika besok saat di altar, dia akan duduk di kursi roda. Hari-hari pernikahan mereka dimulai dengan Arumy merawatnya, dibandingkan berbahagia seperti pasangan pengantin baru lainnya."Leonard, there were three people in this kitchen. If I go to the hospital for 'food poisoning' and I'm the only one sick…""So we'll say you have a sensitive stomach," Leonard interrupted. "Or allergies. Or anything else that explains why only you're affected. Daveson, you're twelve weeks pregnant and you can't keep anything down. That's not sustainable."Daveson's eyes filled with tears. "I'm scared.""I know," Leonard said softly, taking his hands. "But we're going to Dr. Chen. Right now. I'll drive you myself…""You can't," Daveson interrupted. "Your mother. She's already suspicious. If you personally drive me to a doctor after I was sick in front of staff, it'll look...""Like I care about my employee's wellbeing," Leonard finished. "Which I do. Which anyone would.""Leonard…""Or I'll send Victoria," Leonard conceded. "Would that be better? She can take you, stay with you, bring you back. No one will think twice about my fiancée being kind to staff."Daveson nodded weakly. "Okay
"And I appreciate the loyalty behind that impulse. But Mother, I'm trying to build a life that's not based on violence and fear.""How noble," Lissa said coldly. "And how naive. Leonard, you're about to become a father. That means making hard choices. Doing things you'd rather not do to protect your child.""I know," Leonard said quietly. "But I'd rather teach my child to find solutions that don't involve hurting people."Lissa stood, moving to her window. For a long moment, she was silent."Your forty-eight hours still stand," she said finally. "Morrison may be dealt with, but the core situation remains. In two days, we'll discuss my terms for helping you manage the pregnancy and everything that comes after.""And if we don't agree to your terms?" Daveson asked.Lissa turned to look at him, her expression unreadable. "Then you're on your own. No protection, no resources, no help. Just you, Leonard, and a baby the whole world will want to study like a science experiment. Is that reall
Morrison laughed. "You want me to give up leverage worth millions for a corporate job?""We want you to trade a one-time payout for long-term stability," Daveson interjected. "You said yourself you're leaving the country. This way you leave with a legitimate career instead of looking over your shoulder for the rest of your life.""Plus," Leonard added, "if you sell that information, you burn every bridge you have. No one will hire you after you've proven you're willing to violate client confidentiality. This job offer expires the moment you sell to anyone else."Morrison was quiet, his expression calculating. Leonard could see him running the numbers, weighing options."Show me the contract," Morrison said finally.Leonard's phone buzzed. A text from Victoria: Contract attached. It's ready.He forwarded it to Morrison's number. "Check your email."Morrison pulled out his phone, opening the document. His eyes scanned the pages, and Leonard watched his expression shift from skepticism t
"You want to do what?" Daveson stared at Leonard like he'd lost his mind."Pay Morrison," Leonard repeated. "But not with money."They stood in the hallway, Morrison's thirty-minute deadline ticking away like a bomb. Through the drawing room door, Leonard could hear his mother making phone calls, probably arranging her "solution" to the Morrison problem."Explain," Daveson said."Morrison wants money because he thinks the information is valuable," Leonard said rapidly. "But what if we make it worthless? What if we give him something he wants more?""Like what?""A job," Leonard said. "A very lucrative, very quiet job that pays better than any blackmail scheme. Morrison's a mercenary. He doesn't care about us personally. He cares about profit. So we offer him more profit as our ally than he'd get as our enemy."Daveson shook his head. "You want to hire the man who's blackmailing us?""I want to neutralize him," Leonard corrected. "Victoria's family has security contracts all over the w
Inside the drawing room, Leonard felt like he couldn't breathe.Morrison sat across from him, that damned folder on the table between them, containing God knew what evidence of their relationship. Of the pregnancy. Of everything they'd been desperately trying to hide."You're making a mistake," Lis
Marcus's voice came through. "Mr. Heyden? Mrs. Heyden asked me to inform you that the Kanes have arrived early. They're waiting in the main drawing room.""Of course they are," Leonard muttered. Then louder: "Thank you, Marcus. We'll be right down."He looked at Daveson and Victoria. "Game faces on
The silence in Lissa's office stretched until Victoria could hear her own heartbeat.Leonard stood frozen, Daveson's hand still clasped in his, both of them staring at the woman who'd just revealed she'd orchestrated everything. The surveillance. The investigation. The impossible choice they now fa
"Shit," Leonard muttered, starting the car.They drove back toward the estate in tense silence, both calculating how to explain their absences if anyone had noticed."Drop me at the service road," Daveson said when they were close.
