ログインAt the same time, inside the servants’ quarters, Lina was dialling an unfamiliar number on her mobile phone. Her expression was serious, and her gaze was cold.“The target is becoming suspicious. But I’ll continue with the mission. We’ll get what we came for, even if it means going after her children.”Her voice was quiet but as sharp as shattered glass. From the other end of the line came the faint voice of a man, giving her further instructions.Lina ended the call, then stood before the small mirror in the corner of the room. She slowly brushed her hair. Her expression was blank, but behind her eyes lay pain, resentment, and an unfinished plan.After reporting to the man, Lina sent a message to Sherly’s mobile number. Once the message had been sent, she left the room and rejoined the other housekeepers.That afternoon, the sky over Puncak gradually turned orange. A thin mist began to descend, enveloping the villa, which appeared peaceful from the outside. Yet, inside the security r
“About two years, Madam,” Lina replied, her expression remaining calm.“And before that?”“I... used to work in the home of a Dutch family living in Jakarta.”Elizabeth nodded slowly, although confusion was beginning to fill her mind. She had heard of that family, but had never seen Lina's face among the staff records she had previously checked. It was yet another irregularity, further strengthening her suspicions.They eventually reached the edge of the lake. The surface of the water was still, reflecting the bright blue sky. Elizabeth paused for a moment, taking in the view before her. However, her mind was busy piecing together the various inconsistencies that were beginning to come to light.Lina stood not far from her, her head slightly bowed. Even so, her eyes continued to follow Elizabeth's every movement. The small mobile phone hidden beneath her jumper was still switched on, secretly recording their conversation. Whoever had sent her would undoubtedly receive a detailed repor
Breakfast came to an end in a warm and friendly atmosphere.Olivia’s innocent laughter, Hermawan’s light-hearted jokes, and the sense of togetherness around the dining table had made the morning feel truly special. Once everyone had finished eating, the servants began clearing the table while the other family members prepared to resume their respective activities.However, amidst the warmth, Elizabeth’s keen instincts picked up on something that seemed out of place.It was not Aruna. Nor was it Albert.It came from the corner of the dining room, near the door leading to the kitchen.A housekeeper stood there holding a coffee pot. Her expression was calm, her smile friendly, and her movements appeared polite.Too polite. Too quiet. Too observant.The woman carefully placed the coffee pot on the table. She bowed slightly before turning and walking back towards the kitchen.Elizabeth slowly turned her head and whispered to Kiara, who was sitting beside her.“What is the name of that hous
Momen sarapan pagi itu berakhir dalam suasana hangat dan penuh keakraban.Tawa polos Olivia, candaan ringan Hermawan, serta kebersamaan di meja makan membuat pagi itu terasa begitu berharga. Setelah semua selesai, para pelayan mulai membereskan meja, sementara anggota keluarga lainnya bersiap melanjutkan aktivitas masing-masing.Namun, di tengah kehangatan itu, insting Elizabeth yang tajam menangkap sesuatu yang terasa ganjil.Bukan dari Aruna. Bukan pula dari Albert.Melainkan dari sudut ruang makan, tepatnya di dekat pintu menuju dapur.Seorang asisten rumah tangga berdiri di sana sambil membawa teko kopi. Wajahnya tenang, senyumnya ramah, dan gerak-geriknya tampak sopan.Terlalu sopan. Terlalu diam. Terlalu banyak mengamati.Perempuan itu meletakkan teko kopi di atas meja dengan hati-hati. Ia sedikit membungkuk sebelum berbalik dan berjalan kembali menuju dapur.Elizabeth menoleh perlahan, lalu berbisik kepada Kiara yang duduk di sebelahnya.“Siapa nama asisten yang tadi itu?”Kiar
The morning air at the villa was wonderfully refreshing. Birds chirped softly, undisturbed by the noise of passing vehicles, creating a peaceful and tranquil atmosphere.A variety of dishes had been neatly arranged on the long dining table. The aroma of toasted bread mingled with the scent of melting butter, filling the entire room. Glasses of warm milk had been prepared, while an assortment of fruit was beautifully arranged in clear glass bowls.Hermawan sat at the head of the table, wearing a warm jumper and casual trousers. Mawar sat to his left, a gentle smile on her face. Meanwhile, Nathan and Elizabeth were seated on his right, side by side, their faces reflecting their happiness.Elizabeth occasionally gazed at her husband's face with loving eyes. Her expression showed just how much she admired him. Perhaps her pregnancy hormones had made her more sensitive, but it could also be that her love for Nathan was simply growing deeper.“Would you like some of this?” Nathan asked, hol
Nathan sat in the passenger seat with his sleeping son resting on his lap. Meanwhile, Elizabeth leaned back against a neck pillow, one hand resting on her increasingly prominent belly. She looked a little tired, but a small smile still graced her lips.“Once our babies are born, we must come here again, Hubby,” she whispered. “I want them to see the clouds from up on the hill.”Elizabeth smiled as she imagined the beauty of the villa they were about to visit. Even picturing the scenery was enough to make her happy. Besides, she would be able to enjoy the cool, fresh mountain air with the people she loved.Nathan glanced at his wife, then smiled as he gently held her fingers.“Of course. But remember, you'll have to follow all my advice. Don't tire yourself out. You must also use a wheelchair to keep yourself and our two babies safe.”Although he was happy to see Elizabeth so excited, Nathan could not ignore his concerns. His wife's pregnancy with twins meant he had to be even more car
