A man stepped out of an Uber and stopped at a simple rented house in a suburban area. The man looked tidy, even though his clothes weren't too expensive. It was just a standard quality outfit purchased from a middle-class store. Anyone would never have guessed that the man who got off the ride-sharing service was the CEO of one of the big companies in the city.He had recently returned to his leadership position there after being fired a few months ago by the previous company owner. He could sit back in that position only by the grace of the Almighty. It was just because of His miracle that the man was still given a chance to once again hold an important role in the company that had thrown him away because of the scandal he played.The tired-looking young man slowly unlocked the gate of the rented house so as not to wake the surrounding neighbors. He also carefully opened the front door of the house so as not to wake his wife, who might already be asleep."Are you just coming home?" a
That day was the day Adam had been waiting for. Paul and Freya came out of the NICU after having been treated there for ten weeks. Of course, Adam didn't forget to bring Sabrina along to pick up the twins.After all, Sabrina was going to be the stepmother to Paul and Freya. Although Sabrina had initially declined when Adam invited her to visit the kids in the hospital while they were still undergoing treatment, Adam didn't want to give up on bringing them closer. He wanted there to be a bond between mother and child that was established among them."Bree, I'll wait downstairs, okay!" Adam exclaimed nervously. He was really impatient to pick up Paul and Freya.Sabrina did not answer. She lazily applied makeup to her face, hoping that time would pass quickly and Adam would leave her out of boredom. "Sabrina, my love! If you don't come down soon, I'll come up and carry you down. Remember, we're also starting to move to the mansion today!" Adam shouted after waiting for Sabrina for thirty
Adam's financial management was much better than when he was younger. When he received his salary, he immediately invested some of the money, set aside some for emergencies, and used the rest to cover his family's daily needs.However, Adam's firmness regarding finances was also one of the reasons for Sabrina's annoyance. She didn't agree with all the financial limitations that Adam imposed. She couldn't understand why she couldn't use the luxurious facilities that belonged to Adam's children. Didn't she also occasionally help Adam take care of the twins?"Adam, I just want to borrow this limo once to go to the party. Why won't you allow me?" Sabrina protested loudly. She had already prepared herself beautifully to go to the party and felt very frustrated because her efforts seemed futile. How could a woman with makeup like a queen go to a party in the ordinary family car that Adam drove to work every day? "Even if this belongs to the children, why can't I borrow it once or twice for
Sabrina was supposed to feel like the world and everything in it belonged to her. Maya had left. So had Mr. Paul. Adam was hers, completely. But reality seemed to be mocking her because she felt the opposite. She often remembered her own baby who hadn't survived when she was born prematurely at six months old. Physically, her baby had been in better condition than Maya's twins. She couldn't accept that fate. To make matters worse, why did she have to help take care of Maya's children?Sabrina, who used to hate Mr. Paul because he couldn't love Adam even though he loved his wife very much, has become very understanding of what Mr. Paul did. Not everyone is blessed with compassion like Maya. Sabrina and Mr. Paul are like that.Until this point, Sabrina might have been able to endure because Adam didn't demand that she love the twins. But what made Sabrina's situation difficult was Adam's inability to give her another child naturally.Sometime after Maya left, Adam's biological desires s
Five years have passed since Maya’s death. Now, the twins have grown into healthy and active children."Paul, Freya! Come down and finish your breakfast!" Adam shouted from below, calling his two children who could be heard being noisy upstairs as they changed clothes."Dad, Paul hid my doll! I wanted to take it with me when we pick up Uncle Leo at the airport!" Freya replied, her voice almost on the verge of tears. The little girl with dark wavy hair looked more and more like her mother as she grew older."Liar! You forgot where you put your ugly rabbit doll. Don't accuse me randomly!" Paul retorted in a high-pitched voice.Paul’s dark eyes sharply looked at his younger sister, who was smaller in size. He looked a lot like his father at that state. With a stronger and bigger body, he often teased Freya. Even though he was punished many times, teasing his twin was like a drug he would continue to do no matter what the consequences were.This kind of morning commotion in the Wilson man
"Adam, listen! Marry Maya ASAP or you will lose all your inheritance!" Paul snapped at Adam, his only son. His eyes stared at the young man sharply, showing a seriousness that no one could bargain for, including his child.Maya was Adam's secretary, as well as Adam's fiancé since childhood. She was the daughter of Paul's friend who died in an accident two months ago, making Maya live alone. For this reason, Paul wanted to immediately take Maya as a daughter-in-law as he promised Maya's parents long ago."Dad, I can't! You know I already ... um ... I don't want to get married yet," Adam dodged. He almost let slip that he already had another girl, not Maya.So far, Adam had been stalling for time to marry Maya for one reason. He was waiting for his father to die, so he could inherit without having to marry Maya. Thus, Adam would be able to marry his girlfriend, Sabrina. This did not mean that Adam will justify any means to make his father leave this world immediately. Adam chose to be p
Adam walked out slowly from room 509 to room 406, where Sabrina was. He rushed over because he was so afraid of Sabrina's anger. There was no way he would allow himself to fail on the first night of such an important mission, right?The man knocked on the door and found Sabrina opening the door quickly. A sign that he had been waiting for Adam's presence for a long time."You were having a good time, huh? What were you doing?" Sabrina snapped. Her anger didn't match her sweet face. Her long wavy hair made her look even more elegant. How graceful her appearance if she didn’t rage. "I've been waiting for you! Forever.""Sabrina, stop! She is my wife. Even though this is all an act, I have to treat her like a real wife. Otherwise, my dad will cancel my inheritance!" retorted Adam trying to calm down."But you said that I am the only woman you love, Adam!" protested Sabrina, getting annoyed. Her round amber eyes widened as she stared intently at her husband. "You are mine."Correct. Sabri
No man is as trashy as Adam. He honeymooned with two women in secret. He had planned this out pretty well beforehand.Adam spent a week at the hotel so he could share his time with Maya and Sabrina simultaneously without Maya and his father finding out. Meanwhile, he prepared a smoother plan ahead to achieve all of his goals: wealth, love, honor, and happiness.Adam knew that the innocent woman he would sacrifice was Maya. However, he planned to give her a large sum of alimony so she could live comfortably and find a new husband. Her disappointment would be bought with enough money. Who wouldn't want it if the amount he offered would later be compared to the salary of working for his company as a CEO secretary for life?Adam was sure that Maya would agree because the reason this innocent-looking woman wanted to be betrothed to him was definitely because of money. What's more, shouldn't everyone choose their own path in life? Not an arranged marriage, unless there were other factors, s
