Chapter 57
"I choose Dea, Dad," Aiden replied, a bit choked up. His heart felt heavy, but he couldn't resist. "But, Dad..." He stammered in response to his father's statement.
"Give me until tomorrow to break up with Wendy, or I'll remove you from JagadRaya Corporation!" his father threatened.
Aiden wanted to get angry, but he couldn't do anything. His father hadn't officially handed over the company to him yet. He was only tasked with managing the business his parents had built.
It would be a great loss if Aiden had to step down from his position now. Even though he had some small businesses of his own, they didn't compare to his position in his father's company.
With a heavy heart, Aiden nodded, indicating that he would comply with his father's command. Kusuma and Rita exchanged glances. Both corners of their mouths turned upward, satisfied with his response. Kusuma's threat was effective in taming the lion before them.
"Dad, wait for the news as soon as po

"But why, Dea?" Aiden asked, puzzled. Devano lowered his head. "I don't know, Den. The moment I saw Dea, my heart started racing, especially the look in her eyes.""What's with the look in her eyes?" Aiden asked, curious."Sincerity, sadness, ahhh...! I don't know, but I like the look in her eyes," Devano said with a smile on his lips. This was the first time Aiden had seen Devano's expression like this."Sorry, I shouldn't be talking like this to you. But since you and Dea are just in a contract marriage, I still have a chance, right?" Devano asked, looking into Aiden's eyes. Silence. Aiden was taken aback by Devano's statement."Ahem..." Aiden cleared his throat to break the silence. "Well... there is a chance.""Yes!" Devano exclaimed joyfully, clenching his fists in excitement. Aiden couldn't say anything. There were so many unexpected things happening lately. His mind was blank, not knowing what to do."Umm... I'll wait until your matte

Aiden woke up and saw that Dea was still sleeping next to him. When he shifted his gaze to the ceiling of the room, Dea's voice surprised him."Are you awake?" Dea asked with her eyes closed. Aiden was startled by the question."Yes, I am. Aren't you sleeping?""No, I've already slept for a while.""Uh, okay." Aiden felt incredibly awkward being in the same bed as Dea after learning about Devano's feelings."Reflect on yourself, Aiden, don't make your parents worry," Dea said, still with her eyes closed.Aiden pondered over Dea's words."Love cannot be forced, but also consider your parents. Happiness is not just about women," Dea continued with her eyes still closed.Aiden stared at the ceiling of his room with his mouth shut."From the beginning, you had a choice. You could have declined this marriage to pursue your love. But you chose to marry me. So, how much do you love Wendy?"'How much do I love Wendy?' Aid

Hearing Papa's offer left Aiden feeling dizzy. He had no idea that his parents were secretly starting a new company. However, the conditions Papa presented seemed utterly insane. How could he give his grandchild to his parents? Especially when it was clearly stated in the marriage contract that it wouldn't happen."So, Aiden, do you accept this offer?" Kusuma asked."Uhh... Aiden hasn't thought about it, Pa. Give me some time to decide," he replied."It's okay, boy. No problem. You need to persuade Dea to give Papa a grandchild soon.""Emm... I'm not sure," Aiden hesitated."Papa is eagerly waiting for a grandchild from you. You're Papa's only hope."Kusuma gently patted Aiden's chest and walked away. Aiden immediately let out a sigh. It was an incredibly crazy offer. He couldn't even bring himself to discuss it with Dea.Aiden could only stand still, given all the recent events. He needed a lot of time to digest everything.

Getting caught by her husband made Toni confused about what to say. Dea asked him to hide today's events, while Aiden was now in an angry mood."I'm sorry, Sir, I can't answer that. You can ask Madam directly. However, Non Dea's condition is likely dropping again because she didn't have breakfast and didn't take her medicine," Toni explained with slightly trembling fingers.Aiden stared sharply at his wife's driver. "So, where were you earlier?""At Madam's friend's house.""Was it a man or a woman?" Aiden probed."Both men and women.""Are you keeping something from me?"Toni remained silent, reluctant to speak up."Great!" Aiden nodded. "It turns out you're conspiring with Dea."Toni could only swallow his saliva."Now you can rest, leave.""Am I fired, Sir?" Toni was shocked by the word 'leave' that came out of his employer's mouth."No, just take a break. You've been with Dea all day," Aiden expl

Because she was accustomed to seeing the old house deserted, discovering a foreign car parked haphazardly made Dea wonder who was visiting her father."Madam, we'd better go inside together. Let me park first," Toni cautioned, sensing a foreboding creeping into his heart. Dea agreed with her friend's suggestion.'For some reason, I feel that something bad is about to happen,' Dea thought, her hand clenched. Sweat moistened her palms, and her anxiety was so strong that it triggered a stress response within her body.When the car was neatly parked in the front yard, Toni quickly opened the door for his employer. Dea slowly walked towards Hando's house. Faintly, she could hear commotion inside, and she heard Devano's voice several times."Calm down, Ma," Devano exclaimed in frustration. Dea could clearly see the man's face. Unfortunately, Devano didn't notice Dea's presence. Hando, who appeared to be in good health, could only heave a sigh for a moment, but his eyes were fixed when he sa

The sweet nickname made Elvaro smile. If before, he stomped his feet to walk, now the steps of his shoes felt softer and rhythmic, reflecting the user's feelings. He approached the woman sitting at her desk with a gaze full of love. The presence of the woman felt like a blessing in the chaos of the company."Since when have you been here, Bae?" Elvaro asked as he approached Wendy. Yes, it was Wendy, Aiden's girlfriend.The woman pursed her lips as sweetly as possible. "Since a while ago. I've been waiting for you for 30 minutes. But you didn't show up." Wendy began to put her arm around the man's shoulders. She slowly inhaled the gentle scent of his cologne. Elvaro could feel Wendy's breath on him. He immediately put his arm around her waist."Sorry, Bae. I was in Aiden's office earlier. We had a lot of reports to review."Wendy raised both of her eyebrows. "Is Aiden at the office today?""Yes. Do you want to go there?"Wendy fell silent but eventually answered, "No. Today, I want to

Asih carefully chose one of the new servants to approach. The two women stared at each other for a moment, and eventually, the one standing on the right took three steps forward and began to speak, "Mr. Aiden, allow me to introduce myself."The man addressed by the woman nodded coldly."I'm Rara, 24 years old, assigned as both a servant and personal nurse to Madam Dea. I graduated from the health academy three years ago with 2 years of work experience in the National Medicane hospital in the capital. In-""Enough," Aiden interrupted, not wanting to waste more time. Asih quickly called another servant to step forward."Mr. Aiden, allow me to introduce myself." Again, Aiden only nodded."Nina, 25 years old. Here, I serve as a personal servant and nutritionist for Madam Dea. I graduated from National Louis University three years ago with 1 year of work experience at Camberg Office.""Yes. Please leave."Aiden concluded the introduction session for the new staff in his house. He immediate
