Se connecterThe loud music startled Ansel. His head throbbed and his ears rang every time he heard the bass and drums.He groaned loudly. His hand reached for his head, but something seemed to be blocking it. His eyes slowly opened. His vision was slightly blurred.He blinked several times, trying to endure the pain in his head caused by the loud music, until his vision finally cleared. He frowned when he saw the people who had participated in the ritual at the summit the day before yesterday, now dancing wildly while holding stemmed glasses."Why am I lying on the floor?" he muttered in confusion. He looked down to see his legs and arms tied with rope."What the hell is this? Who tied me up?"He vaguely remembered the last thing that happened before someone hit him on the back of his head. He was kissing Ajeng! Where was she now? Had David taken her? This was bad! He couldn't let Ajeng become the next victim.With great effort, Ansel tried to sit up, but failed. His hands were tied behind his b
"Hey, bro! How are you?" Sander hugged Jack, who had just arrived, patting him on the shoulder."Never been better. How's your dad?" Jack asked."He's getting better every day. Thank God he didn't have a nervous breakdown after finding out about the situation.""You know men aren't like that. Women are usually like that," Jack interjected.They laughed for a moment before entering the house."Let's eat first. Aren't your wife and kid coming?" Sander said."Of course I forbade them. She doesn't need to see that bastard again. It's not important anyway."From inside, Sekar greeted them with a broad smile. The woman was surprised when she saw Jack for the first time, after Sander had always told her about him."You're so tall. Even taller than your dad, Sander," Sekar said, looking up.Jack smiled, his ears turning red. He took Sekar's outstretched hand and shook it."It's nice to meet you, ma'am. You are as beautiful as your son said," Jack said before kissing Sekar's hand."Ah, you're
Johan smiled contentedly when the plane finally landed at Sydney Airport. David wouldn't chase him here, because he had never told anyone about his origins except Ella and Evan."Finally, I'm home," he said with renewed enthusiasm.He would settle in his hometown and never return to Indonesia. He didn't care about Ella's novel that had tarnished his name. After all, he wouldn't be living there anymore.What about Nadia? Johan snorted. That bitch was just a distraction. She quickly bored him.His feet descended the airplane stairs, following the other passengers who had already gotten off. His lips couldn't stop smiling. He would meet the love of his life after this. His future wife, who would bear his children, whom he had left behind because his parents' financial situation had been chaotic a few years ago."Sorry, sir. We have to detain you."Johan's smile vanished when several police officers and airport security stopped him. He looked at them all in confusion and fear, then looked
"Why, Mom? You've been looking restless." Sander looked at his mother, who was fidgeting uncomfortably in front of the dining table."I don't know. I just have a bad feeling. Could it have something to do with Ajeng? Should Mom and Dad go to Jakarta to visit her and meet her in-laws?" Sekar replied."Ajeng is going to Australia with her husband. So you don't need to worry. Yesterday, I already told you about Jack's plan. The one who is now with Ansel is the fake Ajeng, Mom," Sander explained.Hearing Sander's explanation, Sekar immediately breathed a sigh of relief."Trust our son-in-law, dear. Evan is not like Dimas, who was irresponsible. Our child is in good hands," Mark replied, then continued his breakfast.Sander always got the latest information from Jack. He couldn't go anywhere at the moment because he was waiting for them to go to David's headquarters. "Should I go to Ajeng's house by myself, honey? I want to visit her in-laws," Sekar said."Sekar, don't be reckless. If you
Ajeng, who had just arrived behind her husband, immediately gasped in surprise when she saw Widya, her former mother-in-law, suddenly scream while pointing at her face."Hey, don't just accuse my daughter-in-law! I can report you for slander and defamation! How dare you accuse my daughter-in-law of hiding your useless son! Why would my daughter-in-law hide a womanizer like your son?" Dahlia snapped, her eyes wide."Mom, what's the problem?" Evan asked, confused, hiding Ajeng behind his back.Widya had lunged forward with her hand outstretched, perhaps to grab Ajeng or pull her hair, but she was immediately restrained by two police officers who had been watching."Calm down, ma'am! You can't be rash and make accusations. We have to question them first. Don't make accusations without evidence, or you will be charged with defamation," one of the police officers holding Widya said.The woman seemed frightened, so she finally stopped resisting and fell silent."Here's the thing, sir. Mrs.
Evan loosened his tie after arriving at the top floor of the Palace Hotel. He had been so busy all day that he forgot to tell his wife he would be home late.The penthouse door opened after he pressed the bell, revealing Nathan, who was still awake."Where's my wife?" The penthouse was quiet. There was no one else there but the two of them. Understandably, it was already 9 p.m. Nina had gone home after their mission was complete and returned to her room next to the penthouse."She's been in her room since this afternoon, sir. She seems to be in a bad mood.""Oh, really? Why is that? Didn't you do what she wanted?" Evan asked in surprise."I did. But she immediately got in a bad mood after arriving here."Worried that his wife was stressed, Evan quickly entered the room next to the one occupied by Jack and his wife and child.He slowly opened the door. His wife was already asleep. He placed two boxes of food containing koloke and fuyunghai on the nightstand, then stood silently beside
