"Stop," Wendy glared at Dea, intensifying the tension in the room. The physical touch from Aiden's girlfriend conveyed a strong force through Dea's body. She glanced briefly at Wendy. The woman's furrowed eyebrows and forehead, fiery eyes, and tightly shut mouth all indicated a volatile situation. Dea understood what Wendy was feeling. 'Always something,' Dea thought.Everyone in the living room stared at the interaction between the two women in silence. Most of them widened their eyes as if trying to catch every moment of this intense scene. Reluctant to engage in an argument, Dea let out a sigh and without responding to her opponent, tried to break free from Wendy's grip, intending to walk into the bedroom. However, Wendy suddenly grabbed her hair. In response to this rough treatment, Dea instinctively stepped back."Wendy!" someone shouted as they witnessed the scene. It was a combination of various voices that turned into a unified shout, creating a chaotic atmosphere. The delicat

After conversing with Dea, Aiden watched her departure until her back disappeared from his sight. It didn't take long before he immersed himself in deep thought. The dim lights adorned the living room with warmth. His head was filled with various problems he was currently facing. He let out a hot breath from his nostrils, savoring the slight burning sensation in his sclera."Why does tomorrow feel so far away?" he asked himself. "I want to resolve this issue as soon as possible."He had received a schedule for a meeting with Jamono and Triyo. This was good news for him, considering he had to plead with his father-in-law to expedite the group's plans. Wijaya's words had been fulfilled, and now it was his turn to fill in the stages of their plan."One million dollars, I hope my money won't go to waste like last year. Especially with Candra pressuring me, and that damn investor getting increasingly rude to me." Aiden clenched his hand tightly, he still remembered how he had chased an int

Aiden's eyes widened, and his body froze in surprise as he felt someone physically embrace him. He quickly turned around to see who had hugged him without any warning. After realizing it was Wendy, he let out a sigh.A person with a wide grin and sparkling eyes greeted him, "Hi, Baby!"Her soothing and sweet voice eased Aiden's heart, and he found himself reaching out to hold Wendy's arm. "Hi, dear. Why didn't you tell me you were coming to my office?" he asked, slightly flustered."I wanted to surprise you. Are you happy?" Her innocent, earnest gaze melted Aiden's heart."Of course, I'm happy. But... I still have work, and I'm waiting for a new investor for our company. Can you wait for me in my office? Bella is there; you can ask her for anything.""Hmm..." Wendy formed puppy eyes and placed her index finger on her lips. "So, you're very busy today?""Not too busy. The most important task today is welcoming the new investor. It will take at most an hour. Wait for me there, okay?" Ai

At the doorway stood Aiden and Elvaro, their eyes widening as they witnessed the heated scene before them. Aiden's eyes turned red, his brows furrowing deeply. He glared fiercely at Dea. His steps quickened as he approached the two women."What's going on, Dea!?" Aiden shouted, pushing Dea's body without realizing it. Dea, weaker than Aiden and caught off guard, immediately sat down on the sofa. The difference in strength and her lack of preparedness left her stunned. She never expected Aiden to touch her, let alone resort to violence. Her eyebrows furrowed, indicating the rising anger within her. Her previously heated temper was now boiling.Bella, who was beside them, also widened her eyes at the scene. The secretary tried to assist Dea but was halted as the person she wanted to help resisted.Aiden continued to stare at his wife with intensity. Wendy, being the cunning woman she was, wouldn't waste this golden opportunity. She acted as if she were a helpless victim. She quickly app

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
