It had been a month since Sabrina replaced Maya as the secretary. During that month, Adam worked very hard, but many of his tasks remained incomplete, no matter how much he tried his best.Now, in front of Adam, his father had a stern expression on his face, as if he was going to devour his only son alive. He was clearly dissatisfied with Adam's performance."What have you been doing at the office? I asked Maya, and she said you even had to work overtime. Why am I receiving such a poor performance report from you?" said Mr. Paul in a loud tone. He sat in Adam's chair with his legs crossed, letting his son stand there motionless and guilty without being able to adequately defend himself."I heard you often cancel appointments with clients suddenly. Three investors even canceled their intention to work with our company. All in just one month! And that's your extraordinary achievement," Mr. Paul scolded while slamming the desk. His eyes were glaringly red as if they were about to pop out
It had been ten days since Adam started his mission to manage his workload at the office and home. Sabrina didn't seem angry at Elena, the senior secretary who was assigned to handle more tasks and check her work again.Due to the overwhelming amount of work and higher targets than usual, Adam didn't have time to take care of himself. He often skipped meals. Even though Sabrina invited him to have lunch or dinner, Adam was only focused on his work. He didn't want to disappoint his father who allowed him to fix the problems in the office. If he failed, all his efforts so far would be in vain.On the other hand, Maya, who only had positive thoughts about Adam, felt sorry for her husband's poor condition. She observed the face of the man who was currently sleeping soundly beside her. Adam's body lately looked thinner. His face didn't look fresh at all. Like he hadn't been eating or resting enough."Are you too busy and not eating well, Honey?" whispered Maya softly. She then kissed her h
Sabrina smiled contentedly as Adam approached her at the restaurant, without a hint of disappointment on his face. She knew he was bringing food today. She deliberately asked Adam to eat out with her to test who he prioritized.Sabrina would be thrilled when Adam arrived cause she was still a priority. If Adam chose to eat the food that Maya made, Sabrina would feel that she had been surpassed by Maya. The woman was very worried that Adam might be fascinated by Maya's goody-two-shoes personality. That's why she couldn't act badly in front of Adam.Sabrina welcomed Adam with a sweet smile that melted his heart. He was happy that Sabrina was no longer angry. They both ordered food and talked about light topics unrelated to their morning quarrel.Peace enveloped Adam's feelings. Satisfaction erupted in Sabrina's heart. It was very different from what Maya was experiencing now.Maya still couldn't stop feeling sad. Was Adam just pretending to be nice to her all this time? Why did he accep
Maya didn't want to believe what she was seeing right now was true. But everything was so real. Her husband, who had always been good to her, was doing something he shouldn't do with another woman.Something that was only hers, which should only be for her, Adam was now doing it with another woman. They seemed so absorbed that they didn't care about their surroundings, not realizing the presence of others who witnessed such a painful act for Maya."Adam... I love you!" the woman who was on top of Adam exclaimed as she arched her back."I love you more, Baby! You're the only one...." Adam replied with a heavy, restrained voice before his lips claimed the woman's lips. "Only you in my heart, Honey!"Of course, Adam's last sentence shattered Maya's world into pieces. The husband she thought was destined for her actually loved another woman. Not her!The sight of the hot scene was only two meters away from the heartbreaking scene. The most unwanted contrast for anyone to see, of course.M
Sabrina brought the food she ordered into Adam's room with mixed feelings. On one hand, she was glad that Maya had found out about what had been hidden all this time. On the other hand, she was worried about Adam's position in his father's eyes.What if Maya complained to her father-in-law? Would Adam be punished by his father? If so, who would Adam choose?"Adam, what if things don't go the way you want them to..." Sabrina paused for a moment, trying to choose her words carefully so as not to ruin the mood. "If we get caught red-handed, will you choose me or your father's inheritance?"Adam was taken aback by Sabrina's pessimistic tone of questioning. He paused chewing his burger for a moment and said, "I played it clean. I've calculated everything carefully. It's impossible to get caught!"Adam quickly resumed eating and gulped down his cola straight from the glass for a more satisfying drink. He didn't want to waste time with Sabrina's questions, which only raised anxious feelings
Leo mercilessly punched Adam repeatedly. Now he was on top of Adam, straddling his thigh, and gripping Adam's collar. His fierce face couldn't show any expression other than anger. Then, once again, he punched Adam until his nose and lips bleeding. Meanwhile, Sabrina could only scream, begging Leo to stop. "Leo! Stop! Or I'll call the police." "Just call them and I'll announce your depravity to the world!" Leo challenged, not caring. He then swung his punch again at Adam's face. Adam, who didn't have good self-defense skills like Adam, just became the punching bag. Especially with a tired body condition, he couldn't resist Leo at all. He just groaned without knowing why he was being brutally beaten. "Leo! Stop! At this rate, he will die!" Sabrina exclaimed, unable to hold back her anxiety. Adam's condition looked very bad. He couldn't survive for a few more moments. "You will be jailed!" Leo paused his brutal action for a moment. Sabrina was right, Adam looked helpless a
The next day, Maya woke up alone, not finding any trace of Adam coming home. She sighed softly. She should focus on what she was facing now. After going through her morning routine, Maya immediately called her lawyer to prepare divorce documents. However, she was surprised to find many messages congratulating her on her pregnancy. Maya was understandably shocked by this. Not only was her inbox flooded, but she also received an outpouring of congratulations on social media about her pregnancy. Who leaked her secret? Wasn't it just Leo who knew? It couldn't be the doctor who examined her, right? Maya swallowed her saliva. She wouldn't be able to hide her pregnancy from anyone now. Would Adam let her go after finding out about her pregnancy? Or would he even change and promise to be a good husband after knowing all this? Maya was restless. She abandoned her plan to contact a lawyer. The woman reconsidered what she would do next. *** That morning, Sabrina went to the offi
The atmosphere in the meeting room was very tense. Adam swallowed hard. The end of the world had come for him. The collapse of the plan he had thought through had greeted him at the door.It was all because he was too greedy. No human being could stand on two chairs. He should have chosen one from the beginning. His inheritance or his lover. Because he couldn't make the right decision, Adam tried to fight for both, which ended up in disaster.Meanwhile, Sabrina was more amazed by what was presented before her. All this time, she thought Leo was a poor man who had no settled job. When they first met, Leo worked in a restaurant as a waiter. Not long after, he was fired for hitting a customer who harassed Sabrina. Since then, they started dating.A few months later, Leo got a job as a bartender at one of the elite nightclubs. Leo stayed there for quite a while. Until he was fired again for helping a server who was harassed by an influential male customer. When they parted ways, Leo was u
