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. As the sound of running water filled the room, he glanced over at Aurelia, who stood hesitantly by the doorway. Her body was still wrapped in a thin towel. Her hair was messy, and her cheeks were fl

  • 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   231. I'm Still Upset

    "I still don't trust you, Gian!"Aurelia's voice rang through the car as she folded her arms across her chest. She turned toward the window, refusing to look at her husband's pale face.Gian took a slow breath, trying to keep his attention on the road."Sweetheart, I was just worried. That's all.""Worried?" Aurelia scoffed, narrowing her eyes. "Worried enough to have someone follow me? What am I, a little kid who's going to get lost in a grocery store?""I didn't mean it like that.""Then what did you mean?" She whipped around to face him, her eyes blazing even though her voice trembled. "I disappear for a little while, and you act like your whole world has ended. Gian, I'm your wife, not your prisoner."Silence settled between them.The car rolled through the busy city streets.Gian lowered his head slightly, his face growing even paler.Aurelia let out an exasperated sigh, though a small flicker of gui

  • LOVE BEYOND THE PAIN   230. You Knew All Along

    "Mr. Gian has arrived."The announcement echoed through the steel-walled room that had served as Aurelia's hiding place since the previous night.She immediately stopped stacking the dishes in front of her and looked toward the mysterious man guarding the door."What did you say?" she asked, her voice catching in her throat. "He's here already?"The man gave a brief nod.Aurelia quickly glanced at the watch on her wrist.9:10 a.m.That meant Gian had needed only about two hours to arrange a private flight from Jakarta to Sydney.Two hours.To cross thousands of miles.For her.Something stirred deep inside her chest.A mixture of admiration, anger, and unease.She knew Gian was capable of doing something this reckless.Even so, seeing it become reality left her deeply shaken.She couldn't stop herself from feeling touched.At the same time, anger surged through her.

  • LOVE BEYOND THE PAIN   229. What's Happening to My Wife

    "Sir... I've lost track of your wife."The words hit Gian like a bolt of lightning.He froze.His heart slammed against his ribs."What did you just say?" His voice rose, trembling with anger."I've been following her ever since the seminar ended, just as you instructed. But once she entered the city park..." The caller hesitated. "I lost sight of her. There was some kind of commotion. I heard someone scream, but by the time I got there, the place was empty. I really don't know where she went, sir."Gian's breathing turned ragged, his eyes burning red."Idiot!" he roared. "How could you let this happen?""I'm sorry, sir. I'm trying to track her down again, but the situation...""Enough!"His voice cut through the explanation like a knife."Don't hide behind excuses. My wife is in danger, and this is the useless report you're giving me?"He ended the call so violently he nearly hurled his phone across

  • LOVE BEYOND THE PAIN   228. Your Wife Is in Danger

    That afternoon, the deserted alley became the backdrop to Aurelia's racing heartbeat.The scream that burst from her lips wasn't driven by fear alone.It was part of a plan.She remembered Baskara's quiet advice from just minutes earlier.If he's really following you, make him reveal himself. Men like that can't resist when their target reacts.The prediction proved correct.The instant her scream echoed through the alley, the stranger finally stepped out from beneath the trees.His movements were stiff.His face was unmistakable.The same man she'd seen in Melbourne.The same man lurking outside her dormitory.His cold eyes fixed on her like a predator that had just lost control.Aurelia instinctively took a step back, her eyes widening.Her knees nearly gave out before Baskara suddenly emerged from the side.With swift, practiced precision, he seized the stalker, twisting both of the

    “Don… please,” Aurelia whispered, lowering her voice as she glanced around nervously before looking back at him. “I promise I’ll tell you everything later. But right now isn’t the right time.”Doni stared at her for a few seconds before finally ra

  • LOVE BEYOND THE PAIN   9. Devina is back?

    “Devina’s coming back here? Really??”Madam Lestari’s voice echoed through the dining room. The middle-aged woman hurried forward, her silk skirt swaying with every step, eyes sparkling with hope.Aurelia remained silent, frozen beside the dining table. Her g

  • LOVE BEYOND THE PAIN   6. A Condition

    Gian moved toward Aurelia slowly, almost soundless, closing the small distance between them. His warm breath brushed her face, and it felt like the room itself was shrinking around them.Aurelia swallowed hard. Her body went stiff, her instincts firing off warnings.“What do you want me to do?” she

  • LOVE BEYOND THE PAIN   5. Gold-digger

    “Typical gold-digger!”That was the first thing that flew out of Mrs. Lestari’s mouth this morning. Her tone was sharp, cutting, like a whip cracking across bare skin. The usually quiet house was now heavy with tension.Aurelia stayed silent. Her head bowed, her eyes fixed on the floor. She knew th
