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
Adam's sharp gaze struck the heart of Sabrina's feelings. A powerful way to make people who feel guilty feel even more guilty."I was having fun … a little," Sabrina replied flatly. She didn't avoid Adam's eyes, trying to hide her feelings of guilt for kissing a man other than the man in front of her. Even though, in this case, she was innocent... err, maybe she was a little guilty of enjoying and welcoming Leo's kiss."With whom? Where?" Adam demanded. He didn't like Sabrina's distinctive way of arguing. There must be something she's hiding. "Earlier, I went to your room many times. I waited for more than two hours, and you haven't come back yet."Sabrina turned around and said, "None of your business whom I'm going with!" She kept walking, entered the bathroom, and said, "Besides, I didn't know you'd come so soon. Usually, you're busily lulling your wife to sleep, right?""Sabrina! What's wrong with you?" Adam snapped at her. He didn't understand why Sabrina suddenly seemed to blame
Sabrina closed the conversation with Adam with mixed feelings. She had already agreed to Adam's plan. However, her emotions made her break her promise and demand more, making Adam work harder to give her what she asked for. He was even willing to take the risk of lying to Maya for the sake of spending some one-on-one time with Sabrina.Knowing this, Sabrina felt slightly embarrassed, although she was pleased with Adam's sincerity. She also wore a thin smile on her lips and planned to forgive Adam for his treatment the night before. No, Adam wasn't wrong. She was wrong. She was the one who almost had an affair with Leo last night.Not only did she kiss Leo in front of the room, but Sabrina almost had an illicit relationship with Leo because of her seductions, even though Leo had refused. It was truly her betrayal, based on the desire for revenge.Last night, Sabrina went to Leo's room and cried, complaining about all the suffering she had to endure for being Adam's secret woman. Adam h
Maya introduced herself warmly, extending her hand to Leo and giving him a sweet smile. In her heart, she was surprised that the blond man named Leo seemed to be taken aback by her name. Was it really that unfamiliar name?"Maya?" Leo asked again, his eyes widening and squinting alternatively, showing genuine confusion."Yes, that's right. Maya!" Maya replied, a little confused but still smiling. Her eyebrows were raised with curiosity about Leo's behavior. It was the first time someone had been surprised by her name."So... you're Maya?" Leo asked again, making Maya increasingly annoyed."Yes, that's right. M. A. Y. A. Maya!" Maya spelled out her name with patience."Oh, Maya!" Leo nodded.Maya restrained herself, then nodded while still smiling innocently. She then pulled her hand away because Leo had held it for too long and too tightly. It was probably unintentional, as Leo's mind was currently preoccupied with something else.Hearing the name Maya reminded Leo of Adam's gold-digg
Maya walked along unfamiliar streets, unsure where they would lead. However, as the atmosphere grew quieter and more suspicious, Maya decided to return to the original path.Looking around, the slender woman swallowed her saliva. The silence was the only thing coloring the atmosphere around her. Closed shops and graffiti spray-painted by street artists made Maya certain that she should not have taken this route.The sun was almost setting. Soon, it would be dark. If she didn't find her way back soon, this vacation would surely turn into a disaster, or even worse."Oh, God! How could I still call myself a secretary?" Maya cursed her own stupidity.It was all because of a trivial matter. She couldn't remember the name of the hotel she was staying at. Since it wasn't her who arranged everything, Maya forgot to remember all the details.The problem worsened when she used too much cash and forgot to bring her credit card. Buying a lot of milk and biscuits at the minimarket was unplanned. M
