21. Sudden Attention

Ajeng gasped when a large hand touched her forehead."You have a fever.""Hmm?" She frowned. Her face did feel warm. Perhaps it was the effect of the wound on the back of her neck."Eat first, then take your medicine." Evan's firm voice did not make her open her eyes. After returning home from work, Ajeng immediately lay down on the bed. Earlier, the doctor at the Deca Group clinic had only given her antibiotics to help her wound dry quickly. It turned out to be quite deep. No wonder her body was a little feverish.Her hair was parted and examined, after which Evan was heard cursing loudly. A few moments later, Ajeng heard Evan scolding someone."I don't care. Report her to the police for assault. Ask the operator for the CCTV footage and Dr. Indra for the medical report. There's another video from one of the employees. Add charges of diamond necklace theft and defamation. Tomorrow, you must fire her and put her on the blacklist. Don't let her cause trouble elsewhere."Ajeng faintly

22. Wildfire

The dismissal of Mrs. Martha, a marketing manager who had worked for 15 years for Deca Indonesia Co., Ltd., the core company of the Deca Group, shocked all employees. In fact, the news spread like wildfire throughout all of the Deca Group's subsidiaries.Many speculations arose. The most sensational was the rumor about Ajeng, Mrs. Martha's subordinate admin staff, who was the CEO of Deca's mistress.The employees were in an uproar after a video of Mrs. Martha bullying Ajeng was circulated, and after that, the police came to the company to arrest the manager on charges of abuse and theft of a diamond necklace worth 30 million rupiah."Crazy! Ajeng really is Mr. Evan's mistress. How could a lowly employee like her afford such an expensive diamond necklace?" one employee said during lunch break."Did you guys see the video? She also wears two diamond rings and diamond earrings. It's crazy! She's definitely Mr. Evan's mistress. Otherwise, why would Mrs. Martha suddenly be reported to the

23. Growing Suspicion

Puspa kept thinking about her niece's words regarding Ajeng's suspicious presence at her son-in-law's house.Actually, she didn't like Nadia very much, because the girl had repeatedly tried to seduce Evan. She had reprimanded Nadia and her mother, who was her sister, several times, but they had ignored her."Don't be too quick to believe what that child says. Honey, remember how Nadia once tried to trap Evan in Ella's room? If it weren't for the maid at Evan's house, our child's marriage would have been ruined," Susno, Puspa's husband, said while reading the news on his tablet.Puspa bit her lower lip. In her heart, she wasn't sure if Ajeng was capable of doing something so reckless. She knew that woman very well. She had never once tried to seduce Evan, and always waited until Evan was not at home if she wanted to see Ella."But Nadia said that Ajeng went into Evan and Ella's room. Then... then she heard a sound like moaning," Puspa said anxiously.Susno lowered his glasses and looke

24. The Son-in-law's Secret

"Why? Didn't you want to see Ella?" Susno complied when Puspa pulled him toward the car."Come on, dear! Just be quiet. We'll go to Ella's house later. She's busy right now. The car is still usable, right? Let's go.""But the mechanic is coming here," Susno objected."We'll go to the repair shop too. If you don't want to go, I'll just take a taxi."Whether he liked it or not, Susno obeyed and drove the car even though the engine sounded rough and the acceleration was sluggish. Puspa's face looked pale, and now she seemed lost in thought as she rested her head on the seat back.What did his wife actually see at their son-in-law's house? Why did Puspa seem more quiet?Meanwhile, Puspa's mind was in turmoil. It shouldn't have been what she saw. Nadia's words should have been true. But why didn't it match her expectations? What was really going on with her daughter's household? Who could she trust now? And where was Evan? Earlier, she heard Ajeng's name mentioned, and it was linked to Ev

25. Attentive Husband

This morning, Ajeng felt so refreshed. After three days of being cared for by Evan, Ajeng gradually felt touched by how much attention he gave her. It was completely different from when she was still married to Dimas. Not only did he not pay attention to her or take care of her, but when Ajeng was sick, Dimas was busy going out with his friends.Evan's sudden change in attitude certainly made Ajeng fall for the charm of the man who had always been cold to her. The current Evan was truly gentle and attentive.Her face felt hot and her heart was beating wildly. For the past three days, the man had not forced her to serve him. They slept in the same bed, but still fully clothed. And that made Ajeng's heart feel full."Oh, that's all it takes to melt your heart, Jeng," she muttered as she touched her flushed cheeks. She smiled shyly.This morning, when she woke up first, she found herself sleeping in Evan's arms, hugging him. Her heart was beating even faster. She covered her face, feeli

26. Caught

Ajeng felt a drastic change in Evan's attitude after she carelessly told him that she loved him. No, he wasn't angry. Nor did he turn cold like the men in the novels she read.Evan treated her gently instead. As if she were a rare and precious diamond."I don't want you to be gentle," she whispered under the cold water.The man smiled crookedly. "I know you prefer it rough."Ajeng's smile widened when Evan granted her request. They were like a crazy couple who spent their time only making love. Forgetting everything else for a moment. Indulging in a longing that, for some reason, was growing more and more intense. As if they only had a few days left in this world.Ajeng didn't even care that she would lose everything after this. From the beginning, she had nothing to be proud of. There would be no children. So, she would take everything Evan gave her.It took two hours to get out of the bathroom. Evan kept clinging to her, making it difficult for her to get ready."You said that you w

27. Going Ballistic

"Mom! Let go of Ajeng's hair!"Puspa stared in disbelief at her son-in-law, who was helping to release her grip on Ajeng's hair. The man even hugged Ajeng while stroking the hair she had just pulled."I never thought you two would be this cruel to Ella. What did she do to deserve you cheating on her?" Puspa shouted, her chest heaving. Her hand pointed at Ajeng, who was staring at her with teary eyes. "You! You rotten woman! You stabbed Ella in the back, even though she's always been good to you!""Auntie, you've got it all wrong. I can explain...""No need! Everything is clear! I am disgusted with you, Ajeng. I regret ever considering you as my own daughter!" Puspa wanted to slap Ajeng's face, but Evan stopped her. This made her even more furious.Puspa took it out on Evan by hitting his arm, even though she had to stand on her tiptoes. Her anger truly exploded, and she wanted to kill them both."Auntie, I beg you not to do this. Let's talk about this calmly, okay?" Ajeng pulled Puspa

28. Jealous

After being found out and attacked by Aunt Puspa, Ajeng felt uneasy. She still wanted to be honest with the woman she considered her own mother, but Evan forbade her."Why can't I be honest? I don't want Aunt Puspa to misunderstand." Ajeng didn't like Evan's decision, which she thought only served Evan's interests."She can't know yet." The man's short answer annoyed Ajeng.She turned away and stared at the view outside the car. Her mood ruined. Ajeng's reputation was ruined because of this misunderstanding. If she had been honest about her status and Evan, Aunt Puspa might have listened to her.It was all because of pressure from Ella, the woman's own daughter. Aunt Puspa should have demanded answers from Ella, instead of accusing her of being a home wrecker.And Evan told her to just keep quiet. How could that be? Aunt Puspa already hated her. Surely the woman thought that Ajeng was ignorant and greedy.When they arrived at Evan's house, Ajeng deliberately did not get out of the car

29. Beginning to Worry

"Tsk, stop kissing me! Ajeng is jealous!" Ella pushed Evan's hand away from her face."Really? Is she really jealous?" Evan asked, his eyes sparkling.Ella rolled her eyes in annoyance. Back when the two of them had just gotten married, Ajeng hadn't reacted at all when Evan kissed her forehead. But after three weeks had passed, she could see the change in her best friend's face when Evan even just laughed with her."How's the wound? Is it healed? The employee who attacked Ajeng has been fired, right?"Ella really disliked Evan's employees who acted excessively. In the past, before she got sick, she often came to Deca to secretly monitor the employees. She never expected that Ajeng would become the target of bullying by her own boss. "It's starting to dry up. Don't worry, that person has been detained at the police station and won't bother Ajeng anymore. Oh, I came here to tell you something. Your mom came to the house I bought for Ajeng." Ella's eyes widened. Suddenly, she felt un

30. Change of Plan

Evan searched for his second wife with a furrowed brow. Wasn't that woman in the car earlier? Did Ajeng leave because she was jealous after seeing his interaction with Ella?The corners of his lips lifted. Happiness made him smile, even when he saw Ajeng's strange behavior. The woman peeked at Asep and Rudi who were chatting in the garden next to the house, while Bi Diah patted Ajeng on the shoulder.He wanted to laugh when the woman jumped in surprise. Suddenly, Ajeng ran on tiptoes. "Why are you here?"Ajeng literally jumped backwards while clutching her left chest. The woman's eyes widened, making him feel amused.In his 28 years of life, Evan had never smiled just because he saw a woman's behavior. Including Ella. "Mas Evan! I'm scared!" The woman immediately hugged him tightly. Of course, his smile widened. He took the opportunity to hug the woman back and stroke her long hair. "Scared of what, hmm?" he asked, holding back a laugh."I saw a snake," Ajeng replied, hiding her f
