Gian stared intently at his wife. Aurelia's face had gone pale, and her lips trembled slightly. He quickly grabbed the bottle of water he had just bought.

"Here, sweetheart. Drink some water first."

His warm hand gently squeezed hers, trying to calm her down.

Aurelia let out a shaky breath and accepted the bottle. The cold water slid down her throat, but the fear lodged in her chest refused to fade.

"I... I didn't expect that," she whispered, barely audible.

  • LOVE BEYOND THE PAIN   237. She Just Wants to Apologize

    “No. I don't want her meeting either of us.”Gian's voice was firm and cold, carrying the unmistakable edge of possessiveness. His gaze stayed fixed ahead, as though he had erected an invisible wall no one could cross, especially the woman they had just been talking about.But the steel in his resolve softened when he felt Aurelia's gentle hand brushing over the back of his. She lowered her eyes before looking up at him with a faint smile, one filled with quiet warmth and unwavering determination.“He just wants to apologize,” Aurelia said softly, her voice slightly hoarse but sincere. “Please, sweetheart. This is good for our future too. Try looking at it from a different perspective. Whether we liked it or not, she played an important part in our relationship. It started painfully, but it still brought us here.”Gian remained silent for a long moment. His jaw tightened, his breathing grew heavier. Pride, anger, and th

  • LOVE BEYOND THE PAIN   236. Why Are You Here Again?

    Aurelia stopped stirring her glass of milk. The soft clink of the spoon against the glass echoed through the bedroom. Her heartbeat quickened, and the color drained from her face."Kirana?" she repeated quietly, almost under her breath.It was as if she had been hoping never to hear that name again. As if speaking it aloud might bring someone she had tried so hard to leave in the past back into her life."Yes," her mother answered without hesitation. "She said she wants to see you."Aurelia frowned, her breath catching."What does she want?" she asked, trying to keep her voice steady, though the anxiety pounding in her chest was impossible to hide.Her mother shook her head, concern filling her eyes."I don't know. She wouldn't say much. She just left a message saying she wanted to speak with you in person. She said it was important."Important?Aurelia drew a slow, deep breath.What could she possibly want no

  • LOVE BEYOND THE PAIN   235. She Came Home in Secret

    “Sweetheart, I’m so sorry...” Gian’s voice came through the phone, rough with exhaustion he could no longer hide. “I had everything planned to bring you home myself, but something urgent came up. I have to attend a major event in Singapore. International clients, sponsors, the media... everyone’s expecting me.”Aurelia sat on the edge of her dorm room bed in Sydney, absently twisting the corner of her blanket between her fingers. A faint smile touched her lips, though a dull ache settled in her chest. She understood how demanding Gian’s work was. Some responsibilities simply couldn't be set aside.“It’s okay, sweetheart. I understand,” she said softly. “Your work is important. Besides, I don’t mind flying home on my own.”“No, sweetheart. Please wait for me until next week,” Gian insisted. “I feel terrible about this. I promise that as soon as the event is over,

  • LOVE BEYOND THE PAIN   234. Two Pink Lines

    Gian stood frozen.The small pregnancy test with its two pink lines seemed to stop time itself.He stared at it in silence, his breathing slow and heavy, as though his mind refused to accept what was right in front of him.Aurelia waited.Her eyes shimmered with tears.She fought to keep herself together, but as the seconds passed without a single word from Gian, her resolve crumbled.Her voice broke, raw and trembling as it shattered the silence filling the hotel room."I'm pregnant, and you're still talking about leaving this world?!"The words came out with a sob she could no longer hold back.Gian flinched.Without another thought, he shook his head and pulled her tightly into his arms, holding her as if he wanted to keep every part of her close."I'm sorry," he whispered, his voice filled with regret.Aurelia pounded weakly against his chest with trembling fists."You're so mean!" she cri

  • LOVE BEYOND THE PAIN   233. Talking About Death

    Gian let out a long breath, his eyes fixed on the sky as it slowly turned shades of violet."I was just... thinking.""Life is unpredictable.""I don't want to leave you alone in this world.""But at the same time..." He paused, his voice growing quieter. "I can't bear the thought of someone else taking my place beside you."Aurelia fell silent.She tightened her fingers around his hand, as though searching for something to hold onto."Don't say things like that," she finally whispered."You're here. You're healthy.""And I..." Her voice trembled as she struggled to continue. "...I don't even want to imagine a life without you."Gian's expression softened.There was tenderness in his eyes, but also a quiet sadness.He lowered his head and gently pressed a reverent kiss to the back of her hand."I just wanted to know...""...how deeply you love me."Aurelia looked at him, tears sh

  • LOVE BEYOND THE PAIN   232. I'm Not Going Anywhere

    "I'm right here. It's okay."Aurelia's whisper was so soft it nearly disappeared into the silence of the hotel room.The dim lamp in the corner cast a gentle glow across the room, creating an atmosphere that felt both intimate and fragile. She climbed back into bed and wrapped her arms around Gian, who continued to toss and turn in his sleep. His breathing came in uneven bursts, and unintelligible words slipped from his lips as though he were being chased by nightmares only he could see.Slowly, the warmth of Aurelia's embrace soothed him.His breathing steadied.The tension left his jaw.His face gradually relaxed into a peaceful expression.Aurelia nestled closer, resting her cheek against his broad chest."You don't have to be afraid. I'm not going anywhere," she whispered again.Her voice was barely audible, yet somehow it reached him through his nightmare.Moments later, her own eyelids grew heavy. Sleep clai

  • LOVE BEYOND THE PAIN   1. A Sacrifice

    “You’re going to take your sister’s place and marry Mr. Gian.”The words fell from her father’s mouth with a coldness that sliced straight through her bones. As if he were asking her to run to the corner store for salt, not telling her to hand over her entire life to a man she’d never even met.Aur

  • LOVE BEYOND THE PAIN   101. An Exceptional Assistant

    Makassar greeted Gian with sharp, sweltering heat mixed with the salty scent of the sea drifting through the air. From the window of the rental car, he watched rows of coconut trees lining the roadside, their leaves swaying lazily in the breeze. The sky stretched out in a pale blue, broken only by

  • LOVE BEYOND THE PAIN   46. Bathing Together

    Warm steam filled the bathroom. A thin layer of fog began forming on the large mirror above the sink. Morning sunlight filtered through the slatted window, casting soft reflections that shimmered across the white marble walls.Gian adjusted the faucet, making sure the water was warm enough

  • LOVE BEYOND THE PAIN   2. The Beginning of Disaster

    Aurelia didn’t sleep a single second. Her eyes stayed fixed on the ceiling, the cracks forming strange shapes, like a spiderweb slowly tightening around her. She felt trapped, and today that web was pulling her straight into the center of her ruin.Devina’s last words echoed in her skull like a cur
