Throughout her life, Ajeng believed that every human being had a dark side. A side that was always kept secret to maintain one's good name in front of others.

Although some people showed it openly, most people chose to keep it hidden, because social sanctions were more terrifying.

"That means they're having an affair."

That was not what Ajeng wanted to hear. Those were not the words she hoped to hear from Bayu. She wanted to be told lies, so that everything could continue as it should.

"It could be that the child the woman is carrying is the man's child, not the woman's husband's child."

Ajeng shook her head. She strongly rejected Bayu's words. How could Ella be like that? Her best friend was very kind...

But a good friend would not trap her or force her to become a second wife.

Suddenly, Ajeng felt afraid. Various assumptions began to swirl around in her head. She tried to connect them with Ella's insistence that she become Evan's second wife. But she still couldn't find the answer.

  • The Second Wife    76. The Apple Orchard Incident (2)

    Ajeng and the woman named Rita immediately turned to look at a man who had been talking to Ansel, a man who often came to the house to mow the lawn at Dennis's house. It was Suroto. A middle-aged man who was very diligent in his work and loyal to Dennis and Ansel. Ajeng, who was usually uncomfortable with the presence of strange men, felt comfortable with this man."You don't need to interfere, sir! Why did you allow her to enter this garden without permission? You should have asked my permission first! How rude!" Rita snapped.Ajeng stared at the woman with disapproval. Not only was she plain-looking, but she also had a bad attitude and was rude to her elders."Enough, enough! You should focus on your work at the office. Don't let Mr. Ansel find out about your behavior. There are many CCTV cameras here," Suroto reprimanded."Just wait until he finds out. You'll be the first to suffer the consequences," Rita threatened, pointing at Suroto's face.The woman stared sharply at Ajeng bef

  • The Second Wife    75. The Apple Orchard Incident

    "So, you're working with Bayu Dirgantara?" Evan asked in surprise as the car stopped in front of Ansel's office."Yes. Now I'm the apple supplier for his factory. He prefers our apples because they're better quality," Ansel replied as he turned off the car engine."No wonder you two know each other. I used to think that he was having an affair with my wife when he came to our house. It turns out that he was the one who drove you to the airport that time?"Ajeng hit Evan's arm in annoyance. "What the hell, honey? How dare you say I was messing around with another man.""Eh, that's not what I meant, honey. What I meant was, I thought he wanted to run away with you, so he deliberately bombed your house," Evan quickly corrected himself.Ajeng lifted her upper lip before grimacing."What's wrong, honey? Does your stomach hurt?" Evan asked in panic."I don't know. I suddenly feel nauseous. Where's the toilet, Sel?" Ajeng asked while holding her stomach."Inside the office. Come on, I'll tak

A woman who, as a teenager, was so eager to take revenge on a woman named Sekar Anjani, by secretly destroying her child named Ajeng Maheswari.Ella believed that her actions were normal because she felt that she was a victim of injustice.

She had even lost her baby, and she had also lost Rudi, who was angry with her.

  • The Second Wife    73. Reuniting

    For two months, Evan focused on settling all matters related to Ella. He handled the divorce in religious court, dealt with the case involving Puspa and Ella regarding the bombing at Ajeng's house, and took care of the division of property.Since the child Ella was carrying was not his, Evan was not obligated to provide financial support to her after the judge officially ruled on the case. He only gave her the house they had been living in, two luxury cars, and 2 billion rupiah.Evan was not stupid. During his marriage to Ella, all of his assets were registered under his mother and father's names. He knew that one day, Ella would demand a share of the marital property. And he was not willing to let her get half of his assets after her plan succeeded.Ella was a greedy and materialistic woman. He knew this during their marriage, especially after she had an affair with Rudi. And now, Evan was very grateful that his wealth was still intact. The luxurious house and two cars were nothing

  • The Second Wife    72. What Actually Happened

    It had been two hours since Sander punched Evan in the face and Ajeng screamed hysterically. The situation was completely chaotic. Dennis even came to break it up, even though he was usually indifferent to his surroundings."Why did you have to hit him? We could have talked it out nicely," Ajeng said sharply as she applied warm compresses to the bruises on her husband's face.Sander just snorted before drinking the coffee that Uncle Dennis's maid had made."You... so you... haven't divorced me?"Ajeng's question made all the men in the living room fall silent and turn to look at her."What do you mean? Why should I divorce you?" Evan asked, confused.Ajeng lowered the small towel she had been pressing against Evan's face. She looked down, feeling anxious. "You said that once Ella was better, we would automatically get divorced.""Oh my God! Didn't you hear my explanation earlier? We are legally and religiously married. We even have a marriage certificate. I am also officially divorced

    "Are you sure you don't need someone to accompany you? Besides, why are you putting up with your ex-sister-in-law?" Mita asked with a worried look on her face.Ajeng shook her head. "I'm fine. The issue with Dimas doesn't mean anything to me anymore. Oh well, maybe it was my destiny to marry him first."Actually, that wasn't the reason Ajeng had been silent all this time. It wasn't about whether Dimas had infected her with a disease because he often changed partners. Although that did bother her.But what made her more anxious was the news that someone had bombed her house. Who? Who hated her so much that they wanted to kill her? If only she hadn't forced Ansel to return to Malang, maybe they'd already died.Thinking about it made her shudder in horror. Her heart was pounding with anxiety. Who wanted to kill her? "Ajeng? You look pale. Let's go to the hospital."She quickly shook her head. "I just want to rest. Thanks for hanging out with me today."Ajeng got out of the car, carrying
