The CEO’s Secret Heirs: Chasing My Runaway Ex-Wife Chapter 20: The Anniversary of a Mistake
The date on the digital calendar of Anindira’s phone glowed with a haunting familiarity: April 3rd.Five years ago, on this exact night, Dira had worn a simple, hopeful smile and a dress she had saved for months. It was the night of the Dirgantara Charity Gala the night she thought her marriage might finally turn into a romance. Instead, it was the night Arjuna had come home drugged, called her "Siska" in the dark, and unknowingly started the clock on the "mistake" that would become her sons.Dira stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling mirror in the Master Suite, her hand resting over her heart. She wasn't wearing a gala gown tonight. She was in a simple, elegant silk slip dress the color of champagne. "Bunda? Why are you looking at the mirror like you’re mad at it?"Dira turned to see Langit standing in the doorway, his hair damp from a bath. He was holding a small, silver box wrapped in a black ribbon."I’m not mad, Langit. Just... thinking. Where did you get that?""A man in a sui
The CEO’s Secret Heirs: Chasing My Runaway Ex-Wife Chapter 19: The Return of the Queen
The private Dirgantara jet touched down at Halim Perdanakusuma Airport just as the Jakarta sun began to set, casting long, golden shadows over the tarmac. Five days ago, Anindira had left this city as a woman under protection, a ghost trying to find her footing. Today, she stepped off the stairs as the woman who owned the ground beneath the wheels of the plane.She wore a bespoke power suit in a shade of midnight blue that bordered on black, her hair pulled back into a sharp, lethal ponytail. Beside her, Arjuna walked with a new kind of stride no longer the man trying to command her, but the man proud to be seen by her side."Bunda, look at the cars," Langit whispered, pointing toward a fleet of six black SUVs waiting at the edge of the runway. "There are more guards than before.""They aren't guards, Langit," Arjuna said, placing a hand on the boy’s shoulder. "They’re an escort. Today, we aren't just going home. We’re going to the office.""The office? At 6:00 PM?" Dira asked, glanci

The morning mist of Kyoto was usually a veil of peace, but today it felt like a shroud. The rhythmic clack-clack of the bamboo water fountain in the Ryokan garden was drowned out by the heavy, authoritative thud of a silver-headed cane against the wooden porch.Ibu Sarah Dirgantara had arrived.She didn't come alone. Behind her stood four men in sharp black suits the Dirgantara Group’s elite legal team and a woman with a tablet who looked like she hadn't smiled in thirty years. Arjuna stood on the veranda, his yukata tied loosely, his hand instinctively moving to pull Anindira behind him. The warmth of the previous night’s kiss was still visible in the softness of his eyes, but as he faced his grandmother, that warmth froze into shards of grey ice."Grandmother," Arjuna said, his voice a low warning. "I told you the family was on a private recovery trip. You are trespassing.""I am the Matriarch of the Dirgantara bloodline, Arjuna," Ibu Sarah hissed, her emerald necklace catching the
The CEO’s Secret Heirs: Chasing My Runaway Ex-Wife Chapter 17: The Kyoto Sanctuary
The Shinkansen sliced through the Japanese countryside like a silver needle, leaving the neon chaos of Tokyo far behind. Inside the private first-class cabin, the atmosphere was thick with a new, fragile kind of peace.Anindira sat by the window, her shoulder still stabilized by a high-tech medical brace. She watched the rice paddies blur into a sea of emerald green, her reflection in the glass looking softer than it had in years. Beside her, Langit had finally fallen asleep, his head resting against her arm, while Bumi was unusually not on his tablet. He was staring at Arjuna, who sat across from them, reading a traditional Japanese map."We aren't staying in a hotel?" Bumi asked, his voice low so as not to wake his brother."No," Arjuna said, looking up. The dark circles under his eyes remained, but the haunting look of despair had been replaced by a quiet, fierce determination. "I’ve booked a Ryokan in the Higashiyama district of Kyoto. It’s been in the same family for four hundred
The CEO’s Secret Heirs: Chasing My Runaway Ex-Wife Chapter 16: The Tokyo Vigil
The beeping of the heart monitor was the only sound in the private VVIP suite of Tokyo Medical University Hospital. It was a rhythmic, artificial pulse that felt like a mockery of the raw, jagged silence in Arjuna Dirgantara’s chest.He sat in the hard plastic chair beside the bed, his head bowed, his hands clasped so tightly his knuckles were white. He was still wearing the same black trench coat from the night before, now stained with the dark, dried copper of Anindira’s blood. He hadn't showered. He hadn't eaten. He hadn't moved.For forty-eight hours, the "Iron King" had been a statue of grief."Om Juna?"Arjuna looked up, his grey eyes bloodshot and hollow. Standing in the doorway were Bumi and Langit. They were dressed in fresh clothes, courtesy of Chandra, but their small faces were pale. Langit was clutching a stuffed Totoro he had picked up at the hospital gift shop, his eyes red from crying. Bumi looked older too old for a five-year-old his gaze fixed on the unconscious woma
The CEO’s Secret Heirs: Chasing My Runaway Ex-Wife Chapter 15: Lost in Shinjuku
The neon lights of Shinjuku bled into the damp asphalt of the Tokyo streets, creating a kaleidoscope of electric pinks and icy blues. For most tourists, this was a city of wonder; for Anindira Prawiro, it felt like a labyrinth designed to swallow her family whole.Arjuna had bypassed the usual five-star hotels in favor of a private, high-security residence owned by the Dirgantara Group in the Shibuya district. He was taking no chances. The "Family Trip" label had been discarded the moment they touched down at Narita."Keep your tracker on at all times, Langit," Dira said, her voice tight with a tension that hadn't left her since the plane landed. She adjusted the small, stylish smartwatch on her younger son's wrist. "And Bumi, if you see anyone looking at us for more than three seconds, you tell me.""Bunda, I’ve already tapped into the Tokyo Metropolitan Police's facial recognition feed for this district," Bumi said, tapping away at his customized tablet as they walked toward a quiet
The CEO’s Secret Heirs: Chasing My Runaway Ex-Wife Chapter 10: The Dawn Encounter
The sky over Jakarta was a bruised purple, the first light of dawn struggling to pierce through the thick layer of smog and humidity. At exactly 5:45 AM, Anindira stepped out of the black Maybach at the SCBD construction site. The "Crystal Tower" was currently nothing more than a skeleton of reinf

The foyer of the Dirgantara mansion, with its soaring marble columns and priceless Javanese antiques, felt like a pressure cooker on the verge of exploding.Arjuna Dirgantara stood at the base of the grand staircase, his presence like a dark thundercloud. Across the room, framed by the open mahogan
The CEO’s Secret Heirs: Chasing My Runaway Ex-Wife Chapter 8: The Fragile Queen
The air in the East Wing of the Dirgantara mansion felt heavy, as if the very walls were exhaling the memories Anindira had tried to bury. Despite the high-end air purifiers Arjuna had installed, Dira felt a familiar, sharp constriction in her chest. It was the "Ferry Scar." Five years ago, the s
The CEO’s Secret Heirs: Chasing My Runaway Ex-Wife Chapter 7: The Queen of Menteng
The black wrought-iron gates of the Dirgantara Mansion in Menteng swung open like the jaws of a sleeping beast. As the Range Rover crawled up the gravel driveway, Anindira felt a familiar, phantom chill settle over her skin. Five years ago, she had walked out of these gates in the middle of a torr
