"Why do you want to be Ansel's henchman?" Susno asked again.Broto, who was still weak and battered and tied to a chair, still refused to answer. Furious, Susno kicked the man in the stomach for the umpteenth time.For years, he had been waiting for this moment to beat up the man who had destroyed his marriage. The ignorant man who had become a parasite and sucked his wealth through Puspa and Ella. How ignorant the poor man was."What did that brat promise you? Wealth? A position?" Susno snorted. "That kid is still dependent on his father. You're willing to be used by that brat. Broto... Broto! You really don't know how to be grateful. You're lucky I took you in so you wouldn't become a vagrant."Yes, Broto was his old school friend. The man who had been his neighbor when he still lived in Malang. The man who had also helped him get Sekar Anjani, but was thwarted by Mark.Left orphaned by both parents, Broto was alone because he had no relatives willing to take him in. Broto was an il
Everything happened so fast. Ajeng's body was pulled away before a sharp knife stabbed her chest. She didn't even have time to process what was happening when Evan lunged at the man who was attacking her."Evan!"Nathan kicked the attacker's wrist until the knife slipped and flew far away. He took control of the perpetrator after Evan let go."Evan! You're bleeding!" Ajeng pushed away whoever was holding her and rushed to her husband. "Honey, your hand was cut by the knife!"Ajeng hurriedly took Evan to her car. She saw Adi waiting in front of the car with a worried look on his face. Her eyes widened. If Adi was there, then who was the one who pulled her and hugged her from behind?"Let me treat it, sir. There's a first aid kit inside," Adi said as he hurriedly opened the car door and looked for the kit.Ajeng told Evan to sit in the middle seat. Before getting in, she turned around to see who had helped her. Her eyes widened again when she saw Susno standing not far from Nathan, who
Most of the mourners had already left the public cemetery, leaving Ajeng still crying in Evan's arms.Her early pregnancy meant she couldn't dwell too long in her grief, or the fetus in her womb would also become stressed."Let it go. This is how it is," Evan said, stroking her arm."If I had known this would happen, I should have come back here sooner," Ajeng said between sobs."We never know when someone will leave this world. Pray that she will be forgiven."Ajeng's hands trembled as she wiped the tears from her face. She stared at the fresh mound of earth covered with flowers. It still felt like a dream. She had just been talking to Ella, then suddenly the woman was lying on the floor, breathing her last breath right before her eyes."You've forgiven her, right, honey?" The tears wouldn't stop flowing from Ajeng's eyes.After all, they had been friends since their first year of college. Seven years together through thick and thin could not be forgotten so easily, even though perha
Since leaving the hospital, Ella had been thinking about everything. Her rash decision to take revenge on Ajeng because she thought her father was having an affair with Sekar Anjani, and the harsh reality that she was actually the daughter of her mother's personal driver, made Ella rethink her actions.The truth was bitter and hit her hard. It made her realize that her status was so low compared to Ajeng, whom she had always thought was the daughter of a cheap woman.She had made a fatal mistake that had destroyed her own life. Now, she truly regretted obeying her mother's wishes to trap Ajeng, so that Dimas would rape her and even bomb Ajeng's house.Come to think of it, the terminal blood cancer she was suffering from must be her karma. Punishment for cheating on Evan since their marriage, trapping Ajeng and trying to get rid of her, and helping Ansel get Ajeng.Yes, she had been Ansel's informant about Ajeng. She had been helping him stay updated with any information about Ajeng.
Ajeng stared at Ella's pale face. Her eyes were sunken and her body was so thin. Why hadn't Ella recovered yet? Hadn't her friend undergone a bone marrow transplant in Singapore?"The chances of her recovering are slim because she's in the final stages."Evan's words echoed in her ears. Was it true that Ella couldn't be cured? But all this time, the woman had shown no signs of having a deadly disease while they were together."Are you here to mock me?" Ella smiled cynically, completely out of place with her physical condition."How are you? Why... do you still look sick?" Ajeng's eyes welled up with tears.It must be so painful to be Ella. Ending up alone in prison and having to endure excruciating pain throughout her body.Ella's eyes widened for a moment, but then turned cold. "You just want to mock my condition. How about it? Are you happy now, being Evan's only wife?"Ajeng shook her head. She reached for Ella's hand, but the woman immediately pushed it away."I really didn't expe
Ansel stared at the flashing red dot on his laptop screen with a broad smile. He leaned back in his chair and sighed with relief.The love of his life was heading somewhere he didn't know. His men were following Ajeng on his orders. He wanted the woman brought to him and he wouldn't let her leave again. Ajeng was his. She had always been his."The very beautiful Ajeng Maheswari," he muttered as he looked at a photo in his hand.It was a photo he had secretly taken while the woman was taking off her dress in her room. She looked so sexy and beautiful.Ansel's body felt hot just looking at the indecent photos of Ajeng on his desk. His breathing quickened and his mind began to imagine his cousin lying naked beneath him."Ajeng!" he groaned as he satisfied himself with his eyes closed.Ansel had always been crazy. He always imagined dirty things when he was with Ajeng. He had even intended to give his cousin a love potion and claim ownership of her."Soon I will touch you," he muttered be
