‘What are you going to do after this?’
‘Leaving this country. Haven't I promised Daddy Charles that I'll leave Axel?’‘Where will you go? Wouldn't it be better to return to Jakarta?’‘No, Mom. Jakarta is Axel's birthplace, and Daddy Charles is also there. I don't want to be seen as breaking my promise. Mommy knows the consequences I'd face if I do that. I don't want this baby to be taken away by the Xavier family! Plus, everyone will gossip when they find out I'm pregnant out of wedlock. Jakarta isn’t the right city for an unmarried pregnant woman like me.’‘Then, which country do you think is best?’‘I think it's a good idea to go to Germany.’Axel clenched his fist tightly, not expecting daddy Charles to be this ruthless to him. Driving away Aura, who was pregnant, to keep her away from Axel? Outrageous! Axel didn't expect daddy Charles to go this far!"How did you get this recording?""This is a conversation Miss Aura had with her parents when I de"Kang Ji Hwan!" Aura exclaimed in shock, not expecting to hear her manager’s voice again, especially since Aura had fled to Germany and changed her number! "I'm thankful you still remember my voice! If you forget, I'll be really mad at you!" Ji Hwan grumbled, making Aura laugh."How do you know my phone number?"Aura's question annoyed Ji Hwan."Is this your welcome for me? Aren't you happy I could call you? Are you intending to break up communication with me? I never imagined you were such a cruel woman!" Ji Hwan scolded."Oh my, that's not what I meant. I'm just surprised how you know my new number? No one knows it except my parents!" Aura explained, not wanting Ji Hwan to misunderstand because of her question."Well, you answered your own previous question!""So, you know my number from my parents? How do you persuade them? Because I've told them repeatedly not to tell anyone my number!" Aura inquired, not angry, just curious. Moreover, her parents di
Clay stepped foot in the airport, for the umpteenth time in the past month, but this time it was Berlin, Germany. The destination to track down Aura. Clay took a deep breath, not expecting that in the past month alone, he had traveled to Seoul and Germany, all because of Axel!Well, it didn't really matter. In fact, it could be said that Clay was lucky because he could also have a vacation, right? After all, all the operational costs would be covered by Axel! Even though Axel said he was no longer part of the Xavier family, Clay knew that Axel couldn't be considered poor! So paying the operational costs and Clay's fees were not difficult for him!Clay entered the apartment he had rented through an application and immediately focused on his phone. Waiting for a call from someone who could help him in this foreign country. Because honestly, Clay had no connection whatsoever in this country.The phone rang, indicating a call along with an incoming email."How about it?"
Axel sat leisurely facing the balcony, as usual with alcohol in hand. Although Damian had reminded him dozens or even hundreds of times, but Axel still ignored it. He didn't want to bother with Damian's nagging, who sounded like old woman.Moreover, this was the only way Axel could 'meet' Aura! Met in a dream, of course! "Don't advise me again. I'm tired of hearing it!" Axel grumbled while gulping down the alcohol in one go, as if drinking mineral water!"But, Sir...""Just report whatever I do to your big boss in Jakarta! I’m not afraid! Besides, I’m no longer considered his son!" Axel snorted in frustration. Damian let out a heavy sigh. His young master was indeed stubborn! But this time, it was far worse! Aura’s departure had driven Axel even more insane! Charles could only run his hand through his hair in frustration upon hearing Benny's report about Axel's behavior. Who would have thought that his son would be so miserable when Aura left him? Dri
After Ji Hwan left, there was silence for a few moments. Lionel was busy arranging the words he wanted to say. A words that he had wanted to express for a long time but had been hindered by Axel's presence by Aura's side. But now Lionel knew Axel was no longer with Aura, didn't that mean Lionel still had a chance? Right?And Lionel certainly won’t waste such a golden opportunity like this! "Aura, can't we start everything anew? I promise not to bring up the past. I don't even care about your past. Let's open a new chapter and build the future together. I love you, Aura. I'll keep loving you forever," Lionel whispered."Sorry, Lio. I think that's not possible. I can't sacrifice your future. You deserve a much better woman. Not a woman who is pregnant with another man's child like me!" Aura replied, feeling embarrassed."I don't care. I don't want any other woman. I only want you! I promise I’ll to take care of this child well as if they were my own flesh and blood. P
Meanwhile, in the prison, Min Young continued to curse and scream loudly, causing a commotion. Her true nature surfaced, and more and more people began to ridicule her. Mocking her. They only just realized that the celebrity who appeared good on screen actually had a demeanor not much different from a demon! "Get me out of here! Don't you know who I am?!" challenged Min Young, completely unaware of herself. Unaware that she had nothing left! Even Philip Wu, who used to always pamper Min Young, now refused to see her and considered Min Young a nuisance! What a bastard! No wonder Min Young was so angry and vowed to retaliate against the man’s actions once she was out of prison! Don’t know when! One thing Min Young didn’t know was that Philip Wu himself was facing difficulties because his secret affair with Min Young had been exposed to the public! The public ridicule and his wife’s fury left the man frustrated. On top of that, the projects he was working on faced b
Clay jolted awake as his phone rang. His deep sleep was instantly shattered! Hurriedly, Clay answered the phone without looking at the caller's name. Caught between two worlds, between consciousness and unconsciousness. "How's it going? Any updates?""Who's this?" Clay asked, yawning widely.Axel snorted in frustration, annoyed because his voice wasn't recognized. After all, he had asked in Indonesian! Who else had been communicating with Clay recently besides Axel? Outrageous! "Axel Xavier. Do you remember me?" Axel sarcastically made Clay chuckle embarrassingly."Sorry, I fell asleep last night, so my soul hasn't fully gathered yet!""So, how is it?""No news yet, and I'm still in progress."Axel sighed anxiously. With each passing day, more time slipped away, but Aura remained steadfastly hidden from him! Frustrating! "I'll wait for updates from you as soon as possible!""Okay! By the way, when are you coming to Berlin?""In three da
After expressing his intention, Ji Hwan talked with Aura. He tried to accompany that woman, at least until Aura’s nausea subsided. That way, Ji Hwan could ensure that Aura was okay to alleviate his worries as well. "Oh, by the way, I'll be back in Korea the day after tomorrow. How about we have dinner together before that? You can invite Lionel too," Ji Hwan teased with a wink."Back to Korea? Why so soon?""Hey, I've been on vacation here for over a week. And my kids still have to go to school!" Ji Hwan chuckled.Aura sighed. She didn't expect time to pass so quickly. Just when she felt happy to have a friend, but now Ji Hwan had to back to Korea. Indeed there’s still Lionel, but it’s not the same, right? Besides, it can’t be denied that Aura still feels uncomfortable, not because of anything, but because her heart still feels guilty every time she’s with Lionel! "Okay, I'll let Lionel know later.""Tell me, okay?""Okay!"In a different place
Aura sat on a park bench, breathing in the still-fresh air. The sun had risen, but the pollution wasn't as bad as in Jakarta. Aura opened her eyes when she heard footsteps approaching. It was Lionel, holding a bottle of water."You can take this drink.""Thanks!"Aura took a sip of her water, drinking about half of it. Don’t know why she often felt thirsty now. Earlier, when she left, Aura forgot to bring her water bottle, but luckily, there was a mini-market near the park! And luckily again, there’s Lionel who helped buy it, so Aura doesn’t have to walk anymore. Now, even though she’s only walking a little, Aura easily gets tired! "So, today we're having dinner with Ji Hwan and his family?""Hmm... at the Blue Restaurant at 7 PM.""Okay, I'll pick you up.""Thanks, Lio.""Why are you still so hesitant with me, Aura? Didn’t we promise to start everything anew? Don't dwell on the past. Just be relaxed, like when we first met. I want you to be rel
