Masuk"Rosemary, enough! Do not make a scene in this house!" Calvin’s voice boomed, cutting her off harshly. His dark eyes gleamed with unmasked intimidation—not a shred of care remained.
He turned away toward the hall, annoyance plain on his face. "Servants! Take Rosemary back to her room now!" Rosemary let out a hollow, bitter laugh—born of the deepest ruin of her heart. Her chest heaved, straining against the storm of emotion threatening to burst free. Tears streamed down cheeks still flushed from his slap, yet her gaze burned with equal parts grief and loathing. "Calvin, you are the most despicable man I’ve ever known!" she shrieked, voice raw and shrill. "What do you take me for?! A wooden doll with no feelings?! For three years I loved you truly, and I was nothing but a toy to you! Just you wait… I will make you pay for every cruel thing you’ve done!" Far from being afraid, Calvin only offered that same arrogant, dismissive smirk. He folded his arms across his chest, looking her up and down with pure mockery. "You want revenge?" he replied, cold and biting. "Very well. Go ahead. I’ll be waiting to see what kind of vengeance a weak, helpless woman like you could ever hope to carry out!" He then shifted his gaze to the two middle-aged maids frozen in the doorway, pale and trembling. The tension filling the room had paralyzed them. "Why are you just standing there?!" Calvin roared, his tone sharp and commanding. "Must I show you how to drag this woman back to her room?!" One maid stepped forward quickly, head bowed, too afraid to meet her mistress’s blazing eyes. "Madam… please forgive us. Come… let’s go back to your room now," she whispered, voice trembling, gently taking Rosemary’s arm to lead her away. Rosemary tried to wrench free, but her strength was spent. As she was led slowly down the hall, she looked back—fixing her gaze on Calvin, still standing there in all his pride. "Calvin! You damned man! I hate you with every breath I have!" she screamed, pouring out every bit of pain eating away at her. Calvin ignored her curses. He turned to the head maid standing closest to him, his tone firm, absolute, unyielding. "Bibi, listen to me carefully," he said, eyes hardening. "Do not let Rosemary do anything foolish that could harm the child she carries! From today onward, every meal must be prepared with the very best nutrition—nothing must interfere with this pregnancy!" The older woman looked at him with doubt and pity. As a mother herself, she knew well that a mother’s emotional state shaped the life growing inside her. "But… Sir," she ventured, hesitantly speaking up. "A mother must feel happy and at peace for her baby to grow strong. If Madam remains locked away, under this distress…" "Do I need to teach you how to care for my wife?!" Calvin cut in sharply, his voice dropping an octave—dangerous, threatening. "Obey my orders and do not presume to give me advice!" The maid shivered in fear. "Yes, Sir! I understand!" She hurried to catch up with the others guiding Rosemary. They led their mistress back to the grand bedroom—now nothing more than a cold, isolated prison cell. The heavy door clicked shut. The sound of the key turning from outside rang out clear and final, sealing Rosemary inside. "Madam… please be patient. For now, you must stay here, for your own good," the maid said gently, trying to soothe her as she sat weak and defeated on the edge of the white-sheeted bed. Rosemary looked up, her eyes burning with rage. Breath came in ragged gasps as she struggled to contain the storm within. "You think I’m some statue, just to obey that devil’s orders?!" she snapped, a bitter, hopeless smile touching her lips. Her hands clenched the bedsheets tight, seeing his face in her mind—the man who had destroyed everything. She pressed a fist hard against her still-flat stomach, her gaze filled with nothing but venom. "Just you wait…" she whispered, so cold it sent chills down the maid’s spine. "I’ll make this baby vanish. I will never let this child be born—only to become a tool for that monster’s revenge!"In an old warehouse long forgotten by time, a man paced back and forth, his face twisted with rage.Broto.The man who had hidden behind a mask of loyalty for decades. The one the Wijaya family had trusted—while he secretly pulled the strings that destroyed two great families.Before him sat a middle-aged man, tied to a chair. Bruised, bloodied, but unbroken. This was someone Rosemary trusted deeply—someone who knew her family’s secrets and had risked everything to help uncover the truth.“Where is the original document?” Broto roared.The man lifted his head with effort. “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”Broto laughed coldly. “Don’t play dumb! I know it’s in your hands. You’ve dug too deep. If that document surfaces, everything I’ve built will turn to dust!”“What are you so afraid of? The truth?”Broto’s expression turned terrifying. He drew his gun and pressed it hard against the man’s temple.“Listen well. Tell Rosemary I give her until midnight. If I don’t have that origi
Calvin kept staring at the photo Davian had shown him. The man in the picture was so familiar—not just a family advisor, but someone who’d been there his whole life: at his birthdays, when his father passed, and even when Calvin first took over the company.His name was Hendrik Wijaya.Uncle Hendrik had been his father’s closest friend and the Wijaya family’s trusted advisor for over thirty years. To Calvin, he was family.“Are you certain that car was registered in his name?” Calvin asked, his voice heavy.Davian nodded. “Police confirmed it. The vehicle belonged to Hendrik—he just used fake plates the night of the attack.”Calvin’s hands clenched. “Why would he do this?”Davian laid documents on the table. “It goes deeper. Our investigators found years of money flowing from Broto’s shell companies straight to Hendrik.”Rosemary looked up sharply. “So… Uncle Hendrik was working with Broto all along?”“The numbers tell that story,” Davian said gravely.Calvin closed his eyes. The man
The UncleRosemary still held the ultrasound photo when Calvin walked into the room. Ever since receiving that threatening package, she hadn’t been able to settle. Even sitting on the sofa, her hand kept resting on her belly, as if checking that their baby was truly safe.Calvin saw the look on her face.“Rosemary.”She quickly hid the photo behind her. “I’m fine.”Calvin shook his head gently. “Don’t tell me you’re okay when you’re not.”She fell silent. Calvin wheeled himself closer. He was improving, but still needed help moving around and couldn’t walk without support.“May I see it?”Rosemary handed it over. Calvin read the threatening words on the back, and his jaw tightened.“Who would do this?”“We don’t know yet.”“How did they even get a copy of your scan?”“That’s exactly what Davian is trying to find out.”Calvin clenched his fists. “This is all my fault.”She looked at him. “Don’t start blaming yourself.”“My enemies are coming after you. Now they’re using our own child t
Rosemary stood before the large mirror in their bedroom.She wore a simple, elegant cream-colored suit. Her long hair was pulled back neatly, and a black work bag hung over her shoulder. Every now and then, one hand rested gently on her growing belly.It had been several weeks since Calvin woke from his coma. While he was steadily improving, he still needed rehabilitation to regain his strength. He couldn’t yet return to running the company as he once had.Meanwhile, things at Astra Wijaya Group were growing worse.Broto was still nowhere to be found, but his influence lingered. Several directors who had once answered to him were now quietly moving to seize company assets.Rosemary could no longer stand by and watch.She had lost too much to lies and betrayal. This time, she would not let anyone destroy the family she was fighting so hard to rebuild.“Honey… are you really going to the office?”Calvin’s voice came from behind her. She turned to see him sitting in his wheelchair, dress
It had been weeks since that night when Calvin’s heart stopped beating in the ICU.For Rosemary, time seemed to move far slower than usual. Every morning she came to the hospital, sat by her husband’s bedside, and told him all sorts of things—even though he still hadn’t opened his eyes.She spoke of her pregnancy, the little flutters of their baby, Davian’s ongoing recovery, and the secrets that were slowly beginning to unravel.Yet every time she finished speaking, she always hoped for one simple thing.A response.A twitch of a finger.Or just a blink from the man she loved.But Calvin lay still.That morning, Rosemary arrived earlier than usual. She brought a small box holding baby clothes she’d just bought—soft white, with a little bear embroidered on the chest.She set the box on the table and sat beside the bed.“Good morning, my love.”Her hand brushed his warm fingers.“I picked up something for our little one.”She pulled out the tiny outfit.“Is it too soon? I know there’s s
Davian stood by the window in his office, a tablet in hand, his expression grave as he read a fresh report from one of his most trusted men. Ever since listening to that recording, his mind had been unsettled. Threats against Rosemary were never to be taken lightly—not with Calvin lying unconscious in the hospital. He knew he had to step in and take charge of the investigation before their enemies struck again. He made the call. "Go through every single archive of the Wijaya family companies. I want the full list of everyone who had access to financial records and property documents over the past twenty years." "Understood, Mr. Davian. Any names to prioritize?" "Broto." He paused. "Dig up everything on that man—his employment history, business ties, every transaction, every associate. Don't miss even the smallest detail." "I'll get right on it, sir." He ended the call and looked back at his screen. An old photograph showed a man in his fifties standing beside Calvin’s fat
