Chapter 3

After exchanging vows at the Office of Religious Affairs with Anita, Morgan immediately decided to leave the country.

"Anwar," Morgan called.

"Yes, Sir."

"You shortened my name on the marriage document, didn't you? Don't mention Prawira because it's very dangerous."

"No, Sir, I shortened it to my initials. As per your wishes."

Morgan sighed. "Good, make sure my real identity is safe. Because that person is definitely after me now."

"Okay," Anwar replied, his head bowed. Then he looked around, making sure the area was safe. "We have to leave now, Young Master," Anwar said.

"I haven't said goodbye to Anita yet," Morgan replied.

Anwar looked at Morgan with pity. However, they couldn't afford to waste any more time.

If "that person" saw him and Morgan, it was possible they would do something.

"The situation isn't safe right now. We have to hurry, Young Master."

Morgan clenched his fists tightly. This was all because of that damned cousin of his! He was certain that what had happened to him was his fault.

Some time ago, Morgan had been in an accident that caused his car to catch fire. Fortunately, he survived, although the burns were quite severe. But most of his organs were still functioning properly. He just needed to recover to get back to normal.

"Damn it!" Morgan cursed in annoyance.

"Young Master, that person must still be after you. Especially now that he knows your body hasn't been found. He must be searching every hospital."

Morgan thought for a moment; it was true. He was in danger now. Too many people were targeting him and wanting to kill him.

"You're right," Morgan said.

Anwar didn't want to see his employer sad. Then he decided to comfort him.

"Well, how about Young Master contact Miss Anita?"

"Okay, I'll send her a message," Morgan said finally.

[I'm already at the airport. Take care of yourself.]

Morgan sent the message to Anita. Afterward, he put his phone in his pocket and entered the airport waiting room.

Elsewhere, Anita read the message sent by her now-husband. She skimmed it briefly.

"He's gone, I see," Anita muttered.

Until suddenly, someone slammed her desk. Anita was a little surprised at first. But after seeing the person who slammed her desk, she didn't care.

"Why?" Anita asked, seeing her stepmother there.

"Why are you here, huh?! Who told you to work at this company? Have you forgotten you don't have the right?!" Ayu snapped, her voice piercing.

"Don't worry, Mrs. Ayu. I've fulfilled the requirements. I'm married," Anita said casually.

Ayu—Anita's stepmother—instantly glared at her, not believing that Anita was married. She was sure Anita was lying to her.

"Don't lie, there's no proof," Ayu said sharply.

Hana, who was there, also smiled teasingly at Anita. "Anita must be lying, Mom. She can't be married."

"You're right, honey. We already called off the engagement," Ayu said with a satisfied smile.

Anita clenched her fists. Her suspicions were correct; her stepmother had deliberately called off the engagement so she could seize control of all the family's assets.

Hana laughed loudly. "Soon I'll be the one engaged to the son of the Sanjaya family," she said proudly.

"Mother and daughter are the same," Anita sneered, snorting.

"What did you say?!" Hana exclaimed in disbelief.

Ayu simply smiled slyly, unprovoked by Anita's arrogant behavior. "You'd better get out of here now. You don't deserve to work in this office!"

"Mrs. Ayu can't kick me out of my own family's company. Remember, I've met all the requirements," Anita replied calmly.

Hana crossed her arms with a sneer. "If you're married, where's the proof?!"

"Yes, that's right, where's the proof? We won't believe you if there's no proof at all!" Ayu said, no less sarcastically.

Anita smiled. She took out her marriage certificate to Morgan.

Ayu and Hana immediately grabbed the document and examined it for themselves. They were both shocked to see proof that Anita was truly married.

"Impossible! How could that be?" Ayu screamed, panicked, her position now threatened.

Hana noticed a photo of Anita's husband, bandaged like a mummy, and immediately laughed sarcastically.

"You married a corpse, Anita? That man's face must be incredibly ugly. That's why he covered it up!"

Ayu, who had been panicking, immediately looked at the photo. "Anita, you married this ugly man on purpose, right? You're taking advantage of the situation!"

Anita wasn't provoked. She actually laughed when she heard Ayu's words. "That's not important. What's important now is that I've met the requirements to work in this office."

Ayu and Hana snorted sarcastically. "Damn, he's more cunning than us!" Ayu said.

"We'll beat him later, let's go," Hana said to her mother.

Ayu glared at Anita before finally leaving.

Anita smiled with satisfaction after watching the two leave. Now that she was going to start working in this office, no one would dare intimidate her anymore.

***

A man in a dark room clenched his fists. He was a man hungry for power.

"How is it? Have you found him?"

"Sorry, sir, we've searched for his body, but we haven't found it."

"What about the hospital? Did you find any trace of him?" the mysterious man asked again.

His men simply shook their heads, looking scared. "We didn't find him at the hospital either. He's probably already dead and his body has been reduced to ashes."

"Are you fools?! Until his body is found, he's still a threat to me!"

"Forgive us, sir. We'll look for him again."

"You're incompetent!" the man cursed, throwing his used coffee cup to the floor, scattering the shards.

He slammed his fist on the table. His face was grim as he hissed, "Prawira… I'll definitely find you!"
