Dea's body was hit by the passenger seat as soon as Aiden got into the car. The man fastened her seat belt forcefully. Dea could see Toni approaching her with a worried face."Let me go home alone!" Dea struggled, trying to remove the seat belt. However, Aiden immediately closed the door and moved to the driver's seat. Toni managed to block Aiden but failed. The woman hit the car window several times trying to get help from the driver who was outside. The man knocked on the car window trying to help his employer but was stopped because Aiden drove the car away from the JagadRaya Corporate office."Unlucky!" Toni was annoyed and immediately ran towards his car which was parked not far from where he was standing. Dea turned her head to look at Toni, she hoped to get out of this hell soon. Her chest was pounding fast, cold sweat began to wet her palms, she took a deep breath trying to control himself. Her hands squeezed each other and unconsciously her nails dug into her skin, drawing fr
Toni, who had just arrived, entered the house in search of her employer. Her heart raced as she walked. She looked left and right, but there were no signs of anyone."Where's Madam?" he asked. "Mr. Aiden's car is out front, but why is the house so quiet?"Finally, Toni decided to go to Dea's room and opted to take the elevator.Asih's body was trembling; she observed Aiden's actions, fear gnawing at her heart. Unconsciously, she twisted her fingers tightly.Aiden let out a rough sigh, making Asih swallow hard."Mr..." she called softly, but Aiden didn't respond. Instead, he entered the room, leaving the head servant standing there bewildered and afraid. As Aiden moved away, the elevator door opened. There stood Toni, looking puzzled. Asih rushed towards her."What's actually going on between the two of them? Madam looks like she's in pain and very pale," Asih asked.Toni clenched her fists tightly, her jaw locked. "I don't know either. Where is Madam?""In her room."The man stood at
Aiden and Asih immediately entered the car. With full speed, Lastro maneuvered through the busy city streets. Aiden's heart raced as he observed his wife's unconscious condition."I could die if Mom and Dad find out!" he murmured."I will contact Mr. and Mrs.," Asih said, taking out her phone and calling Rita. Aiden tried to stop her, but it was too late as the call had already connected."Good evening, Mrs. Rita. Madam Dea is unwell, and we are taking her to the hospital," Aiden's breath caught as he heard Asih's voice. "Mr. Aiden is with us. Alright, Mrs."There was concern evident in Asih's expression. She immediately turned to Aiden."Mrs. Rita and Mr. Gito will be joining you shortly, it seems Oma will also come," the woman said, her eyes welling up. Her job was on the line now; she could lose her position as head servant for failing to take care of Dea properly."Ah..." Aiden sighed in resignation. Meanwhile, Lastro drove the car even faster.The situation was chaotic now. When
After receiving news from Asih, Aiden's family quickly headed to the hospital. Adira, Aiden's grandmother who was resting, was shocked to hear the news from her daughter Rita. Her son-in-law, Gito, tried to comfort her wholeheartedly."Mom... everything will be okay. Please calm down," Gito said gently. Adira shook her head several times, unable to follow her son-in-law's command."Mom... if you get sick too, Dea will feel guilty. Our focus right now is on Mr. Wijaya's daughter," the man continued. "Please cooperate, Mom.""Yes," finally, the elderly woman agreed. Adira was afraid that their future would be ruined, especially the trust of Wijaya, Dea's biological father. Her responsibility as Dea's protector was the top priority for this family. Moreover, Wijaya had always been a selfless figure in helping their family. Adira and her family didn't want to disappoint Wijaya.When Adira, Rita, and Gito arrived at the hospital, Asih was already waiting for them in the lobby with an anxio
In the dark and gloomy night, Aiden felt his jaw clenched as he had to remove his belt and shirt. With a sense of anxiety and tension, he tossed the clothing towards Gito, who calmly approached him, holding a tie in his hand.With precision, Gito tied Aiden's hands with the tie, rendering him unable to move. Aiden felt desperate as he found himself seated on the very dusty floor.The dark sky bore silent witness to this horrifying event. Gito approached him, tightly securing his hands with the tie. Then he seated Aiden on the very dusty floor, and the dark sky would bear witness to the events of this night.Gito took Aiden's belt, approaching Aiden. Aiden's ears trembled as he heard the metallic sound of Gito's belt being drawn closer to his body. His eyes widened as Gito came closer."Is Dad going to whip me?" Aiden wondered in his heart. "No, right?" Aiden thought.Cplashh!! The sound of the first lash resounded on Aiden's back, and it felt like burning flames.Plashh! The second wh
Asih, who was standing behind her two employers, sighed and watched them with a vacant expression."It's so calming to see Mr. and Mrs. like this. Usually, they argue for hours. But today, they're like a husband and wife. Their interaction is too cold to be considered as a husband and wife, yet today I can feel the warmth between them," Asih chuckled to herself.Aiden continued to gaze at his wife with a melancholic expression, noticing the furrowed brows on Dea's forehead."It seems like she's having a bad dream," he thought, gently stroking her forehead.Once Dea's expression appeared calmer, she immediately reached for her phone. There was a message from Triyo, and the wall clock showed it was 9:38 PM."I'll be out for a moment, please watch over her," Aiden instructed Asih. He glanced briefly at his wife before opening the door. His curiosity about Dea, who had saved him earlier, still lingered in his mind. However, he chose to suppress his questions. There were other matters he n
Behind the rusty gate stood a magnificent black-colored building, which could be described as a mansion. Several guards were carrying large rifles there. Aiden was mesmerized by the sight of the building. Who would have thought there would be a structure this grand in such a remote place?"Come on, sir," he said again, inviting Aiden to enter the mansion with tight security. Aiden began to step inside as per the man's instructions. Suddenly, the main door opened for them.Aiden's eyes widened as he saw the interior of this building; it was truly extravagant. The deeper he ventured, the more luxurious the rooms became.There were several people dressed similarly to him, all wearing masks that concealed their faces, making it difficult to identify anyone beneath the robes.Aiden reached a room with a large wooden door, and two guards in front of it pulled back the door's latch. The man who had been guiding him entered, and Aiden followed suit.Inside, a few people were already wearing t
Aiden took a moment to think after hearing Max's question. The woman had captured his attention. In the end, he replied, "Yes. I just want to talk to someone over there.""Alright, I'll wait there," Max replied, pointing to the security room next to the golden gate behind him.Aiden nodded and left Max immediately. Approaching the woman, when he was close enough, Aiden gently pulled her arm, causing her to turn to face him. The woman's eyes widened, surprised by the sudden touch on her arm."Wendy?" Aiden called."Who are you? It's quite audacious to touch a woman without permission," the woman said, promptly releasing Aiden's grip on her arm and jerking it away roughly."Her voice is different, I've got the wrong person," Aiden thought."Ah, I'm sorry, I mistook you for someone else. I apologize for my rudeness, Miss," Aiden said. The woman didn't acknowledge Aiden's apology; she simply left without saying a word.Aiden let out a sigh, realizing that he deserved to be ignored like th
