Arvan's POV

Two days had passed since the company anniversary party. Since then I hadn't gone home or asked about Reyna and Kirana. I was still upset with them.

I sat in the hospital VIP room watching Rio sleep peacefully in bed. His fever had gone down since the first day Lara and I brought him to the hospital. But Lara insisted that Rio stay hospitalized until he was completely recovered.

Lara sat beside me. Her face was tired but beautiful. Her hair was slightly messy. She looked fragile and

    I sat in the preparation room, waiting for the results announcement.My arm still throbbed under my sleeve, but I ignored it. The pain was manageable. Bearable.Other finalists around me were nervously checking their phones or chatting in low voices. The energy in the room was tense. Everyone wanted to win. Everyone needed to win.After about thirty minutes, a staff member entered the room."The judges have finished deliberating. Please return to the main hall for the announcement."We all stood and filed out of the preparation room.The walk back to the main hall felt longer than it should have. My heart pounded with each step.This competition meant everything to me. Not just the prize money or the contract. But the validation. The proof that I was still capable. Still talented. Still worthy.I needed this win.When I entered the hall, I saw the audience had grown. More people had arrived to witness the announcement.I found a seat near the back and waited.The head judge, a disting

    I stood frozen, staring at Arvan.His words echoed in my mind. "A child doesn't lie."Something inside me snapped."My child is also a child," I said, my voice rising despite my attempt to stay calm. "Why didn't you believe her then?"Arvan's jaw tightened. "That's different.""Different?" I stepped forward, my hands clenched at my sides. "How is it different? Kirana told the truth at the party. She said Lara and Rio insulted her. She cried and begged you to believe her. But you didn't. You made her apologize instead.""Kirana was being dramatic," Arvan said dismissively. "She was trying to manipulate the situation.""She was four years old!" My voice cracked. "She was a child telling her father the truth. But you chose to believe them over your own daughter."Lara clutched her dress tighter, her face still contorted in exaggerated pain. "Arvan, please. My hand really hurts. Can we deal with this later?"Arvan glanced at Lara, then back at me. His expression hardened."Rio is not like

    BAB 17Reyna POVI walked into the competition area with my heart pounding.The presentation hall was magnificent. Rows of seats for the audience, a large stage with projector screens, and a side room for finalists to prepare.I took a deep breath and headed toward the preparation room.My hands were slightly trembling. Not from fear of the competition, but from the encounter with Arvan just moments ago.His words still echoed in my mind. "Are you even fit to be a mother?"How dare he say that to me.I pushed the door open and entered the preparation room.Several other finalists were already there, reviewing their presentation materials or touching up their makeup. The atmosphere was tense but professional.I found an empty corner and sat down with my laptop.Focus, Reyna. Don't think about Arvan. Don't think about anything else. Just focus on your presentation.I opened my design file and started reviewing the slides one more time.After about ten minutes, I stood up to get some wat

    Arvan POVI sat in my office with a dark expression. Daniel stood in front of my desk with a report in hand."Well?" I asked impatiently. "Have you found anything?"Daniel opened the folder and placed it on the desk. "I've checked all hospitals in this city and neighboring cities, Sir. There's a record that Mrs. Reyna and Miss Kirana were admitted to the hospital two weeks ago."My heart beat fast. "What happened to them?""They were discharged in good condition. There's no record of continued hospitalization or..."I stood up suddenly. "So they're fine?""Yes, Sir. It seems so."My chest immediately felt light. I let out a long breath and sat back down.Reyna lied.Just as I had suspected from the beginning. She was just acting. Creating drama to get my attention. Using Kirana as a tool.I laughed bitterly. "Of course. Reyna is always good at playing drama."Something warm appeared in my chest. Not relief. But more like satisfaction from being proven right.I really knew Reyna well.

    The next day, Aldric and Seraphina came with several large gift boxes."Congratulations on making the top ten!" Seraphina exclaimed enthusiastically while placing the boxes on the table.I smiled seeing their enthusiasm. "Thank you. But this is still the early round. I might not win.""You'll definitely win," Aldric said confidently. "I've seen your design. It's very good."Seraphina opened one of the boxes and took out a professional drawing tablet. "This is for you. So it's easier to draw."I stared at that expensive tablet with wide eyes. "This is too expensive. I can't accept it.""It's a gift," Aldric said firmly. "And you need good tools to compete."I finally accepted the gift with mixed feelings. Happy but also a little guilty.We sat together in the living room while drinking tea. Seraphina suddenly asked in a careful tone."Reyna, have you ever entered this competition before?"I paused for a moment. "Yes. Three years ago.""And how was the result?" Aldric asked curiously."

    # CHAPTER 14Several days passed after Arvan came looking for me at the villa. He didn't come again after Mrs. Lin kicked him out. Either he was genuinely afraid of being reported to the police or he was busy with Lara and her son.I didn't think about that. Only focused on the design I was making for the competition.Today, I was getting ready to go to Ashford Corporation to register for the interior design competition in person.Damian insisted on accompanying me even though I had told him I could go alone."Can't do that," he said while grabbing the car keys casually. "I already promised Aldric I would look after you. Besides, a few days ago a stranger bothered you. I can't let you go alone."I couldn't argue. Since yesterday's incident with Arvan, Mrs. Lin immediately reported everything to Aldric. And since then, there was always someone accompanying me everywhere.Aldric, who left for work this morning, even had time to look at me with an overly worried gaze, as if I were fragil
