I was at the Raiden shop early in the morning. Well, I didnโt call Karyu yesterday and since I didnโt take the deal that he is offering in exchange to stop messing with Raiden, I am assuming that he will contact our clients to make them back out.And I am here to see if he is really successful in scaring our customers.To be honest, I am really nervous right now because I was thinking that the client that we are waiting for will not continue their process of availing the Anox cars.I know that the last client that we need has been secured by Enver yesterday. But if Karyu is really convinced of taking revenge against Enver, I am sure he will not stop until his plan becomes successful.โThey are here!โ Hanna, one of the sales associates said. โAnd I am not sure if they are happy right now.โAnd I was feeling more nervous after hearing that.I am not far from them and I donโt plan to get involved in the conversation. I was only here to personally know what is the result of my decision ye
โAnox and Raiden are now officially partners,โ Adze happily said after Lancelot and Enver signed the contract of the official partnership. โAnd since your project was successful, the Anox executives are now changing their minds about Raiden and they are giving their full support on any project that the two companies will launch in the future.โโThen, I guess it is time for celebration,โ Dashiel said. He came here with us to personally witness the signing of his two friends. Well, aside from the lawyer of two parties that serves as the witness.โActually, I am organizing a celebration party where we are going to announce this permanent partnership,โ I said. โAnd I guess, a farewell party for me as well since next week, Mikea will be taking back her position as Enverโs secretary.โโOh.โ Adze hugged me from the side. โAnox really wants to have you here but I am sure, we canโt force you if you donโt really like working with us.โโWell, working with Anox is such a pleasure but I have other
Enver gave me what I needed after we talked inside his car.The time and space that I need. The chance to process everything.Well, it is not like we are avoiding each other. We are still talking but he made sure that it was all about work. Other than that, he never really mentioned anything about what we talked about back then.And I silently thank him for that.I know that what I want is not really easy on his part, especially when I can clearly see in his eyes that he really wants to explain everything about what happened before.But I am still not ready to hear it from him.And I also know that this is too selfish on my part but I need to gather more courage for everything. I want to prepare myself for what he might say and what I might decide once I hear what he wants to say.I had this feeling that whatever he might say to me would give me the urge to finally introduce Millie to him as soon as possible.So, I am moving carefully with that.And since I am not preoccupied with oth
It was such a great party. Everyone was enjoying themselves, especially right after the program and the alcohol started to serve. And the live band that I hired started performing on the stage. Most of the people are dancing on the platform that we set up in front of the stage.Well, there is no problem even though everyone got drunk here. I rented a lot of rooms on the three consecutive floors of this hotel for them to use once they are drunk enough or they want to rest. I also added a lot of security at the elevators to ensure that only people on our part are allowed to step on those floors.And the hotel is always ready to help us if ever some of them get too drunk since I already talked to the management and gave them a heads up about what might happen.โMilanโฆโ Mikea called and immediately came to me. โYou need to take Sir Enver home.โI frowned. โWhy?โShe pointed in the direction where Enver was and I saw that he couldnโt stand straight anymore. I also noticed a bunch of alcoho
As soon as we got to Enverโs house, I immediately got the key to open the door. Then, I walked all the way to his room, laid him down on his bed, and started to take off his polo and shoes.I took a basin with warm water in it and a towel to wipe him up since he canโt sleep well whenever he is drunk.I put all of it on the side towel and completely took off every piece of Enverโs clothes, along with his underwear, and started wiping every part of his body.I know I shouldnโt do it anymore since I am not his wife anymore but I canโt just let him soak in his sweat while he is sleeping.After that, I was about to get up to take the basin inside the bathroom but before I could even touch it, Enver grabbed my hand and pulled me beside him.And to make sure that I wonโt be able to resist, he hugged me tight.โI thought you were already asleep.โ I just let him hug me because I know that I also missed this kind of chance with him.โI am awake when you are wiping my body,โ he said.โAre you st
After soaking myself in a warm bath, I immediately took a quick shower. Then, I took the towel that Enver gave to me and went to the walk-in closet where our things are still there.And I was shocked to see that everything was still in order even though he only spent his time here every weekend.Even the things that I didnโt bring with me when I left were still here, carefully hanging in the clothes rack as if I didnโt leave the house.Well, this house is the same place that he provided for us when we decided to live separately from his family. And we spent three years of our marriage here.I just took a nightie and wore it because I know that I will be spending the rest of the night here before coming down the stairs.And I canโt help but feel nostalgic as I looked around the house. I remember everything that happened here and I am kinda relieved that most of it is the part where we were both happy with each other.Well, I can still remember all the things that I saw on his phone but
Enver told me everything. And one thing is clear to me now.What happened in the past is part of his fatherโs plan to make sure that he will be able to control Enverโs life and take me out of their lives.He was the one who used the woman that drugged Enver, had sex with him when he was unconscious, and took a picture of them naked.And apparently, that woman is head-over-heels with Enver and will do everything she can to make him hers. Their parents wished for them to be together when they were still young but that didnโt happen because Enver met and married me.So, they did something to slowly ruin us.Enverโs father intentionally assigned him to the main branch of their company to take him away from me in the hope that it will lessen our love for each other. They even try to ruin his trust in me and said that I might be cheating on him when he was away but thanks to Dashiel who is always looking out for me, they never succeed in that.And their last resort is the one that really pu
โSo? What are our plans now?โ Enver asked while helping me button my polo. โWe are okay, right? I want to make it up to all the days that we were apart so please come back here and live with me again.โ โAre you kidding me?โ I exclaimed. โThis house is a three-hour drive to your office. Are you going to spend your whole day working and traveling?โ โI can get a place nearby?โ He started giving me puppy looks just to convince me to move with him again. I sighed. โI have a contract for the apartment that I am renting right now,โ I said. โI canโt just walk away from that. Besides, I still need to run my business. It is not that much but it helps me survive those five years. I canโt just abandon it just because we got back together.โ Aside from that, I still havenโt found a single idea of how I will introduce Millie to him. I donโt know what might his reaction be once they see each other. โThen, I can only be with you at Raiden?โ Sadness filled his eyes. I know that he had been holding
โHow long do we have to walk like this?โ I asked Ferry and Castiel while guiding me as I walked with blindfolds in my eyes. They told me earlier that they had a surprise for me so I had to keep it like this until we arrived at our destination.I just got from Amethystโs parents and I talked to them about what we can do to help her in facing her situation. They are also worried about the future of their daughter so they decided to cooperate with me after ensuring that the process will never hurt her.After we discussed that, my friends picked me up and drove away. Before we could even arrive at our destination, they put this blindfold on me.โWe are getting close so please relax there,โ Ferry said.โBut we have been like this for hours,โ I complained. โWhy did you even think of giving a sudden surprise?โโIt is not our idea,โ Castiel said. โThough we chipped in some ideas we were not the mastermind of this. It was your husband who proposed this surprise for you.โโI guess he took advan
I never really imagined that this kind of thing would happen right in front of my eyes. When I was here, together with Enverโs family. Having a nice and chill conversation with them, without pretending that they like me.For the first time, I feel like I am part of this family and they finally accepted me as their sonโs wife.After we finished our dinner, we decided to continue our conversation in the living room. We took our drinks with us and I offered them to stay here for tonight because I know that they also want to catch up with Enver.Ferry went home a little while ago. Lainz didn't want her to stay late so he went here to pick her up. Castiel decided not to join us here to give us more time to be with each other and she went upstairs to sleep in one of the guest rooms I prepared for her.Enver and I were having a conversation with his siblings, while his parents were busy with Millie and they were unwrapping their gifts for her.โWhat?โ Enver said to his siblings. โEnish divor
I thought Enver would refuse to have a talk with his family to settle their issue. But that didnโt happen and I couldnโt help but smile when I saw him guiding them in the garden where they were going to talk.Millie and I started preparing the dining table because we would eat our dinner after their conversation.โEh? Seriously?โ Ferry said after Castiel told her that my in-laws said sorry to me. โAre they even sincere?โ She looked at me. โNot just some scheme because they are afraid to upset you because they know that you have the power to forbid them from approaching Millie again.โโThat is the first thing that came to my mind earlier.โ I put a plate full of kiwi with a side sauce of spicy ketchup in front of her. This is what she has been craving for ever since she got pregnant. โIt feels like they were sincere. And Erwin vouch for that.โโOh well,โ Castiel said. โIt doesnโt really matter now if they were sincere or not. They already experienced such shame because of their evil sch
โAre you even breathing?โ Castiel whispered to me while we were looking at the car that stopped in front of our house. โYou donโt have to be nervous, right? They were just your in-laws.โI glared at her. โI am not nervous.โ I rolled my eyes. โI am just composing myself to avoid the awkwardness that we might feel later.โ I turned my attention to the car when Enver opened it.He was the one who greeted our guest outside the gate. Ferry stayed inside while Castiel and I stood in front of the door, together with Millie who was holding my hand.Don Emil and Madame Venice came out of the car, with their usual posture. Well, I guess not a lot of people can change after a long time.They were carrying a lot of paper bags, marked with luxury brands, and I think it contained toys that they were going to give to Millie.She chuckled. โIf you say so,โ she said. โBut I didnโt expect that they would also bring two of Enverโs siblings.โ We both turned our eyes to the other car that just arrived and
I locked myself inside the bathroom while looking at the five pregnancy test kits that Castiel bought earlier.I already got its result and it all showed the same thing. And I am overwhelmed with the emotions that I am feeling right now.I do have a plan to conceive another child if Enver agrees because I really want Millie to have a sibling. But I didnโt expect that heaven would immediately answer my desire.Yes, I am pregnant. The five test kits in front of me showed positive signs.โMilan!โ Ferry shouted outside the door. โYour husband is here. And your maids already told him that you have been locking yourself up inside there. So, donโt be shocked if he tries to destroy this door.โI grabbed two of the test kits and opened the door. At the same time, Enver also entered the room with concern in his eyes.โWhat is happening here?โ he asked. He came to me but before he could hold me, I immediately showed him the result of the one test kit.He frowned as he looked at that but didnโt s
โMommy!โI slowly opened my eyes and I saw Millie jumping on top of our bed while calling me.โWake up, Mommy! It is already morning.โ She stopped jumping when she saw that I was already awake and she sat beside me. โGood morning, my beautiful mommy.โ She kissed my cheeks. โDaddy is preparing our breakfast.โI smiled and pulled her closer to me. โLetโs sleep some more, baby.โ I kissed her neck and tickled her side which made her laugh.โMom! Donโt tickle me!โ She tried to get away from me but I hugged her tight so she couldn't do anything but laugh. โMommy! Please stop!โโHeyโฆโI stopped tickling Millie and we both turned our heads at the door. We saw Enver entering the room with a tray full of food in his hand. We immediately got up and took the pillow out of his way.โBreakfast in bed for my lovely ladies.โ He put the tray in bed and kissed Millie and my forehead. โLetโs eat here so you donโt have to get up.โโWell, I am still sleepy but this little lady woke me up to have breakfast
Everyone was happy after our vacation. And I can see that it lifted everyoneโs spirit as we came back to our work. It really helped us to refresh our mind and body so I was thinking of making it an annual tradition.Our workload is also back to normal. We are not on a hectic schedule anymore so it is also normal that everyone is relaxing at their station.Mikea was taking care of the fourth branch and other errands that needed to be done outside while I was taking care of the paperwork that Enver needed to sign.We decided to switch jobs so she could learn more things about the industry and everything she needed to learn about Raiden. She said that it would help her grow more and become a more reliable secretary.And it is not really a problem for me. Actually, it is more in favor of my side since if I file on leave, she can work even though she is alone. I donโt have to worry about her as she can handle her work as Enverโs secretary.โYou are filling a leave?โ Mikea frowned after see
After a while, we decided to go back to Millie and our friends. I am already feeling alright so I think we canโt let this vacation go to waste just because of me.Millie immediately approached us as soon as she saw us. She ambushed us with a tight hug and I know that it is her way of saying that she is worried about me.So, I gave her a lot of kisses to let her know that I was okay.Enver lifted her and brought her to the seaside and played with the other kids and guys there. And I went to Ferry and Castiel who were only sitting in the sun lounge.โDid you tell him everything?โ Ferry asked me.I sat beside them and shook my head. โI just told him the minor details.โ I fixed my eyes on Enver and Millie while playing in the sea. โNot that I donโt want to tell him but my headache keeps attacking me whenever I dive too deep into my memories of that incident.โ I sighed and turned my head to them. โAnd because of that, he stopped asking and didnโt force me to say anything else. So, I just s
Enver lifted me and laid me down in our bed. He said that I should just rest and stopped me from going back downstairs since Millie would surely be okay together with Ferry and Castiel.I didnโt complain because I know that I really need some time to rest. I almost passed out earlier because of my headache and I canโt just ignore it.โAre you sure you are okay?โ Enver asked after giving me a glass of water. โWe can go to the resortโs infirmary.โI shook my head and drank the water before giving it back to him. โI just need a few minutes rest and I will be perfectly fine.โHe sighed and sat beside me. โI am sorry for bringing it up. I didnโt expect that this would happen to you.โโIt is okay,โ I assure him. โYou have the right to know about this because it is part of my past. I just canโt really tell it to you in detail because I keep getting a headache from trying to remember everything.โโDonโt worry about that, Mi.โ He caressed my cheeks. โJust rest.โโIf you want to know the detail
