After learning that Arianna was experiencing shortness of breath due to an asthma attack, Samuel immediately took his wife to the nearest hospital. After receiving brief treatment and ensuring her condition was gradually improving, Samuel and Axton slowly brought Arianna back to Jakarta the next morning. Upon reaching home, once again, he called the doctor to ensure his wife's health. Undeniably, Samuel was anxious. He had never known that the woman who was now his wife had an underlying condition that couldn't be ignored. "How is my wife's condition, doctor?" Samuel asked as the doctor finished the examination. "Her condition is stable now and much better," the doctor replied. Samuel nodded, guiding the doctor downstairs. Then, he invited the family doctor to sit for a while to continue the discussion. "Actually, why did my wife suddenly experience shortness of breath, doctor? Is it typical for asthma sufferers? Can it suddenly flare up when exposed to cold air?" The doctor, now se

Samuel had just finished a teleconference meeting with branch leaders scattered across several regions. Sipping the coffee in his cup, the narrow-eyed man was suddenly startled by Axton's unexpected arrival. Without permission, let alone the usual courtesy of knocking on the door first, Axton walked in hastily. Approaching, he headed straight to where Samuel was sitting."Sir, I apologize for barging in like this. But there's something you need to see."Before Axton could continue with what he wanted to show, another figure entered from the door, revealing itself to be Randy. The man threw a worried look identical to what Axton had shown earlier."Why does your face look so strange?""Have you checked the office news today?"Samuel shook his head right then and there. Since morning, he had been busy dealing with work and branch leader meetings, leaving no time to keep up with the news or office gossip."What do you mean by office news?""The employee WhatsApp group is buzzing with gos

"Where are you going all dressed up like that?"Samuel, who was sitting watching television at the time, looked puzzled in Arianna's direction. From his eyes, he saw how his wife looked beautifully dressed as if she was going to an event.Today was indeed Sunday. Samuel, after exercising and having breakfast, chose to relax for a while while watching the news on TV."I want to go with Chacha, is that okay?" Arianna whispered. Although she was sure she would be allowed, Arianna felt uneasy if she didn't get permission from her husband."Where are you going with Chacha?" Samuel inquired. He became curious about what kind of event his wife was attending, looking so dressed up."I'm going to a college friends' reunion at Wolfgang."Samuel's eyebrows furrowed. He just found out that Arianna was interested in attending an event he considered a waste of time."Are you sure you want to go to a reunion? Most likely, there will be a lot of gossiping going on," accused Samuel."No way. I won't g

Throughout her life, Arianna had never once traveled abroad. The farthest places she had visited were Bali and Lombok, and that was with Chacha and, finally, during her wedding with Samuel. Korea was undoubtedly the first foreign country she would set foot in, and once again, it was with Samuel. If asked about her dream country, Arianna had one. She had always aspired to visit Switzerland or New Zealand. For her, these two countries were a must-visit if she ever had extra money.Living in a middle-class economy, instead of spending money on vacations abroad, Arianna used her income and bonuses from work for the needs of the orphanage. While many people appreciated their hard work by going on vacations or buying expensive items, Arianna was different. She found immense satisfaction in seeing her siblings in the orphanage experiencing widespread happiness.Arianna and Samuel had been awake since six in the morning. Arianna even helped prepare everything her husband needed before he left

Arianna squirmed, blinking repeatedly. Slowly, the woman massaged her throbbing forehead as she tried to sit up from lying down. Instantly, a cold breeze swept in, piercing through to the bone."Good morning, honey," Samuel's voice faintly reached her. Turning, she found her husband sitting right beside her, offering a glass of a warm orange drink."Quick, have this. I ordered warm orange juice to help with the hangover from last night," he said."Me? Hangover?" Arianna asked, as if not believing what she had just heard. In her entire life, she had never been drunk."Oh, dear, don't you remember? Last night, you drank too much of the soju Darwin ordered. Besides, I warned you not to drink. But you ignored it, didn't you?"Continuing to massage her forehead, Arianna tried to recall. Even if she did get drunk, it would be her own fault."I really don't remember. As far as I know, we just had dinner. After that, I don't remember what happened.""Oh my God," Samuel exclaimed. His gaze fix
