Semua Bab Heir of Revenge: Bab 101 - Bab 110

Laras maintained her seated position. The two guests from earlier had probably left about an hour ago. Nothing was disturbing her now. The rustling of the wind mixed with the leaves and the faint fragrance from the nearby garden wafted by. Even though there were several servants standing around ready to serve her, she still felt lonely. Even the sound of the pool's water, which was always present, was a loyal companion in this solitude of Clara's.The sun had shown its full strength. The bright heat should have prompted the woman to move away, to go inside her cool house. It would offer a special comfort that would lull her. But she chose to stay. Under the sizeable gazebo that could provide shade.The difference was that here she felt the breeze, which didn't make her suffocate as indoors did. All that luxury caused a dramatic effect that was enough for her to decide not to move."Would madam like lunch?" one of the servers offered."No, just bring some

That alley was really dark. Suddenly, he felt his breath tighten. With minimal lighting, he tried to walk. Feeling and using the walls around as support seemed like the best choice he could make. Larasati remembered, when she left her room earlier, her steps would lead to the staircase towards the lounge area. Right. Trying hard to remember, because the lighting was really insufficient. She was going to scold everyone working in her house later. She wanted to shout and call one of them, but she couldn't.It's like there's a huge barrier blocking her voice from coming out. And just as she reached the stairs, she descended slowly. She used the stair railing as a support. Slowly, she went down the stairs while wondering what was actually happening. And to make things worse, her hair stood on end due to the dominating darkness.Before she could even finish descending the stairs, a voice that was too familiar to her ears was heard. Heavy. Full of threat. But she tried to mu

Both Fathia and Sebastian choose not to talk during the ride back from Laras's residence. The file Laras gave her was carefully placed in Fathia's bag. She glanced briefly at Sebastian, who seemed incredibly focused on the road around him. Their destination was still the same as Sebastian had mentioned earlier in the morning. After visiting Laras's house, they would head to Ronald Nasution's office.Only the music playing from the car's audio accompanied Fathia now. She actually wanted to ask, but in the end, she held back. Sebastian's face wasn't as relaxed as before. She wondered what was going on in his mind.Meanwhile, on the other side, Sebastian felt that everything the middle-aged woman had said was true. How could he let his guard down and let Fathia end up like this? He had promised to Protect and take care of the girl beside him.Sebastian was truly thankful to Laras for helping him look after Fathia. He hadn't prepared for Clara to be someone delibera

Fathia pressed her lips together again, choosing to listen to the conversation dominated by Sebastian and his family's lawyer. She's gotten to know Ronald's face quite well, especially when he read the will, and she noticed his furrowed brows and frustrated sighs during their discussions.Savoring a cup of warm hot chocolate, Fathia looked around the room, which was tastefully decorated in a modern style. She admired Ronald's sense of interior design."Fathia," Ronald finally called out. His old eyes carried a warm smile as they met hers. "Come here, dear."The first time Sebastian pushed open the door to the room where Ronald Nasution was waiting for them, Fathia knew the old man was genuinely surprised by her presence. A warm embrace followed by several affirming pats confirmed that Ronald was satisfied with her except for... her face. But Ronald seemed to hold back from asking, perhaps because Sebastian told him not to pry too much."You've been listen

A small smile appeared at the corner of Sebastian's lips. He stepped closer to Fathia, who didn't move an inch from her position. It was as if she was waiting for him to approach. She tilted her head slightly when Sebastian was right in front of her. Their eyes locked, sinking into each other's depths."Yes.""How much do I mean?"Sebastian fell silent for a moment. "I can't assign a value, because that's for you to determine." He stepped closer. "You can feel everything about me now." He brought both of Fathia's palms to touch his face.She closed her eyes, and when her palms made contact with his face, trembling slightly, she felt the tenderness she had longed for in Sebastian."Now you're allowed to doubt me, the way you thought I still loved your sister. I'm okay with that. But at the very least, don't stop me from giving you a lot of love now, for your life. Until you realize that I really do love you."Fathia was speechless. Her body f
