 1. A Beginning

    Seen a man in a suit getting out of a white mercy car starting to step into arge restaurant. The man was looking for the figure of the girl he would meet today, his gaze began to stop at the woman who was sitting sweetly while staring at the cellphone screen.

    ¡°Sorry I made you wait so long¡±N?vel(D)rama.Org''s content.

    The voice made the woman raise her head to look at the man who had just approached her.

    The woman who looked very feminine then started to stand up from her sitting position and began to align herself with Joan who was still standing. She then stretched out her hand and Joan gave her a helping hand.

    ¡°Nice to meet you, Joan,¡± said Liza, which made Joan smile a little.

    ¡°I think it¡¯s better if we use informalnguage and if you can please just call me brother¡±

    Liza nodded in agreement ¡°Okay, Joan, please have a seat, I have some things to talk to you about¡±

    Joan then obeyed Liza¡¯s orders and started following Liza who had started to sit back down.

    A second of silence began to ur when Joan began to look at Liza with an indescribable look, as if she knew what Joan was feeling. Liza then began to open her voice to break the silence.

    ¡± I apologize in advance if I am so presumptuous to ask this to you , but I have no other choice but to hope for you ¡± said Liza which made Joan confused and narrowed her eyes .

    ¡°Do you really expect me to marry you and help your familypany Liza?¡±

    Liza shook her head slowly ¡°No Bro, I just wanted to meet you because I wanted to ask you to refuse this matchmaking. I know very well, Bro, if I refuse this arranged marriage, this marriage will still be carried out, but if Joan refuses directly, this marriage will not happen, Bro.  ¡® said Liza which made Joan look at her disappointed.

    ¡°To be honest I¡¯m disappointed that you said this at our first meeting, I was here because I wanted to get to know you more. And for the problem of refusing an arranged marriage, I don¡¯t think I will help you because I also have my own reasons that make me have to marry you as soon as possible¡± Joan  began to sharpen his gaze and leveled his expression.

    Liza started to get angry seeing the arrogant gaze of the man in front of her ¡°I ALREADY HAVE A GIRLFRIEND Bro¡± Liza started to raise her voice and emphasized the pronunciation of her words.

    ¡°Just a boyfriend right, not yet a husband. I will not help you with such a simple alibi¡± replied Joan casually.

    ¡°Are you still in the position of Joan brother to marry me?¡±

    Joan nodded ¡°Yes¡±

    ¡°Do you not mind Joan if I end up marrying you without love?¡±

    Joan shook her head slowly ¡°Marriage is not always about love, it could be because of lust or loneliness in someone who really wants to be released¡±

    Liza took a deep breath ¡°I hope Joan doesn¡¯t belong to both of them¡±

    ¡°I don¡¯t know if I can predict those two things, if I see a woman as beautiful as you, of course I will definitely fall into the category of people who marry you because of lust, but on the other hand I am also a lonely person because I am very busy with work¡±

    Liza smiled sarcastically at Joan¡¯s honest words.

    ¡°I didn¡¯t think that a CEO who looked authoritative like you turned out to be a womanizer.¡±

    ¡°I also didn¡¯t think that an actress who was known to the media very well actually had a rough mouth, it seems I have to teach you manners before you be my wife LIZA NATHALIA HOPE¡± Joan began to emphasize every word at the end of her speech.

    Liza shuddered in horror, she took a deep breath and drank a ss of cold orange juice to calm her emotions that were about to explode.

    Seeing Liza¡¯s behavior, Joan smiled triumphantly ¡°My father really wants to have a grandson soon I hope we both can have him in the near future¡±

    Lizaughed mockingly ¡± hahahaha, it seems your course is too high Bro Joan Arkan Rivenno until whenever I can not have a child from you. Even if I am forced to marry you, I will never want to have a child from you ¡±

    ¡°In fact, what you don¡¯t want can be what you get, don¡¯t let you regret it one day when you already have a child from me¡± Joan threatened that made Liza not budge.

    ***

    After leaving the restaurant where she met with Joan, Liza is now in the parking lot of her apartment. The tense night atmosphere made her shudder in horror, usually the parking lot of her apartment was so quiet. What scared Liza was not a ghost but the sound of someone¡¯s footsteps following her.

    Liza walked quickly, even running half fast up the elevator to ess her apartment. Liza felt a little calm after entering the elevator she thought the person would not follow her anymore.

    The elevator finally started to stop on the 30th floor where Liza¡¯s apartment is located, Liza started to breathe a sigh of relief as she opened her apartment door but unexpectedly someone attacked her from behind. The person forced Liza to enter her apartment, then she covered Liza¡¯s mouth until she couldn¡¯t make any sound.  .

    That person still smothered Liza until he entered the girl¡¯s room, then he locked the door to Liza¡¯s room and began to channel his uncontroble desire.

    Liza could clearly see that the man in front of her was Joan, she was afraid to plead with Joan. But Joan ignored the girl¡¯s words, she turned off the light in the room, making the atmosphere darker.

    Liza¡¯s various struggles were carried out in order to maintain her self-respect. The soundproofing of her apartment made Liza¡¯s screams and moans not heard at all by her neighbors.

    Until finally Liza¡¯s small body was crushed by the man¡¯s burly body, the clothes that covered her body were scattered on the floor.

    Joan tried to kiss the girl¡¯s sensitive points, Liza who had started to run out of energy could only give up when something hard entered her narrow gap.

    Tears apanied Liza¡¯s moans as the man continued to force his distribution on Liza¡¯s body, he was in great pain when a softyer inside was torn apart by arge blunt object.

    Joan seemed to stop for a moment when she realized that the woman she was being forced upon was still a virgin.  He did not expect this to be the first experience of an actress as well as a beautiful model. Instantly feelings of guilt and happiness enveloped him.  But lust overpowered his senses, he was getting more and more passionate to channel his desires.

    After 2 hours had passed, Joan slowly released himself from Liza¡¯s body. He repeatedly released his seed in the woman¡¯s womb, at this time the girl looked very tired, her eyes closed with gasping breaths.

    Joan kissed Liza¡¯s forehead gently, there was a feeling of affection that enveloped her, for the first time she felt her heart pounding when she was with a woman.

    ¡°I¡¯m sorry Liza¡± he mumbled and a tear escaped from his eye, watering the girl. He theny down beside Liza.

    Liza couldn¡¯t help but close her eyes, reluctant to look at or talk to the man beside her. Her heart hurt too much to ept the treatment of that jerk, she began to promise herself that she would never love Joan even though he was the only man left on earth  this.

 2. Hatred

    Kring¡­..

    The ringing of the rm clock woke up the woman who was fast asleep beside the burly man, Liza started to open her eyes and recalled the unfortunate incident that happened to her that night. Her tears fell again, she felt a pain pierce her heart.

    Not wanting to get caught up in that atmosphere, Liza immediately got up from the bed leaving Joan still asleep. Liza started rushing towards the bathroom located in her room to clean herself up.

    Not enough 15 minutes Liza had stepped out of the bathroom and went straight to the walk-in closet which was next to her room.

    On the other hand, Joan, who had just woken up from her sleep, immediately looked for the whereabouts of the woman she had slept with that night.

    Because there was no sign of Liza¡¯s presence in the room, Joan finally put on a white kimono first to cover her naked body and then walked through the entire room in the room.

    that apartment.

    Joan¡¯s search was stopped when she saw a beautiful Liza wearing a ck dress in her walk-in closet.

    Joan began to approach Liza who was still looking at her with a sharp gaze. Joan knew exactly what Liza was feeling right now, any woman would never forgive a man who took her future by force.

    Joan had the courage to get closer to the body of the woman who has a height of 168 cm. Joan quickly pulled the woman¡¯s body into his arms, the man began to feel the woman¡¯s body began to tremble apanied by sobs.

    ¡°I¡¯m sorry Liza, I¡¯ve really crossed the line¡± Joan whispered but Liza ignored it, the woman was still silent without saying a word.

    Joan tightened his embrace, because the woman was reluctant to return the warm hug given by him.

    Unlike Liza, now she begins to let go of her body and starts to keep her distance from Joan¡¯s body, slowly she begins to wipe the tears that roll down her smooth cheeks. Liza stares at Joan sharply this time she really can¡¯t contain her anger in facing the jerk who has snatched the thing  he¡¯s been keeping it all this time.

    que¡­

    A pnded hard on Joan¡¯s left cheek which made the man whimper in pain while holding his left cheek, which felt sore.

    Joan¡¯s anger also peaked because of the rude attitude of the woman in front of her, Joan also looked at Liza with a gaze that was no less sharp, for a second Joan¡¯s anger disappeared along with Liza¡¯s tears that again flowed down her cheeks. Joan could clearly see the woman¡¯s lips were trembling  with sobs that were louder than before.

    ¡± Liza I will promise to marry you , so please stop crying like I will leave you without any sense of responsibility ! ¡±  Joan¡¯s orders made Liza show a cynical smile.

    ¡°Do you think marrying me will solve everything?¡±  Liza asked to which Joan nodded.

    Liza shook her head not understanding this man in front of her ¡°No matter how rich your family is, I would never marry a jerk like you. Garbage like you doesn¡¯t even deserve to be recycled¡± said Liza which made Joan even smile a smirk.

    ¡°Then what about you Liza, your future has been taken awaypletely. I don¡¯t know whoever the man you love in the future will be. Do you think that man will be ready to ept the fact about you?¡± Joan threatened which made Liza red at her beautiful eyes.

    Joan smiled triumphantly because the woman she was fighting was defeated badly , the man was indeed the most reliable in terms of threatening someone .

    Seeing the satisfied expression made by Joan, Liza finally spoke up and didn¡¯t want to be considered speechless.

    ¡°Once again I will reiterate to you, that I will never marry you so please refuse this marriage in front of our two families, just take it aspensation for what you have done to me after this we will never have any business. I will let you go without asking  any responsibility, regarding the man I love, it has nothing to do with you because the man I will marry in the future is the one who can ept me as I am,¡± said Liza, which made Joan not move.

    ***

    The tall woman gracefully began to enter the mansion belonging to the Rivenno family. The monolid-eyed woman began to bow to pay respects to her parents who had been faithfully waiting for the arrival of their son and daughter.

    ¡± I ¡®m sorry sir , this time Sarah ¡®s schedule is really full , so Sarah can note on time ¡± said Sarah as she started to sit down on one of the dining chairs next to her mother .

    Ansel Carlos Rivenno could only smile faintly at the words of his eldest daughter .N?vel(D)rama.Org''s content.

    ¡± It ¡®s okay , dear , Mom and Dad understand how busy your schedule is , ¡± replied Auriste Rivenno as she started stroking her daughter ¡®s beautifully flowing hair .

    Sarah could only smile faintly at her mother¡¯s sweet behavior, to be honest she really missed her childhood when she was still living with her parents and her younger brother in the luxurious mansion.

    In contrast to now Sarah and Joan actually have to live far away from their parents because they have to take care of every familypany that stands in their respective fields.  to manage the airport business. Unlike her Broter, Joan, who is responsible for being the CEO of thergest and most influential ITpany in the world, she has to spend her days sitting in front of theputer and flying overseas to reach business deals.

    ¡± Sorry Joan camete ¡± said Joan breaking the silence that urred in the room .

    Ansel began to smile happily seeing the arrival of his youngest son, he then embraced Joan happily which made Sarah furious.  It was clear that his father treated them differently. If earlier, Sarah¡¯s arrival was ignored like a passing wind, but this time Joan¡¯s arrival is considered her father as oxygen that is needed by the human body.

    Sarah red at Joan , which made Joan shudder in horror at the deadly stare of the woman who was two years her senior .

    Joan started to get up the courage to sit down next to Sarah who was still loyal to her gaze .

    Seeing her Broter ¡®s arrogant behavior , Joan began to squint her eyes while showing a small smile .

    ¡°Tonight, you¡¯re really beautiful, Bro, if Darren came, he would definitely praise you to the full¡± Joan Gombal made his parentsugh, while the one who was bullied turned his face away.

    Darren, hearing his fianc¨¦¡¯s name made Sarah¡¯s appetite suddenly disappear. It¡¯s not that Sarah doesn¡¯t love the man, it¡¯s the man who makes her feel like she¡¯s never been loved. Sarah has caught Darren many times with other women when she¡¯s on vacation in America and the worst thing is that  he was dating a different woman every time Sarah caught him.

    Sarah actually wanted to say this to her family and immediately canceled the wedding that would be held after Darren¡¯s return from Canada, but she didn¡¯t want to feel med for her choice. In the past, Sarah was the one who dated and introduced Darren to her family, even the Rivennos have helped the family a lot.  Darren ovees the problem of a corporate criBro that makes his family almost go bankrupt.

    Because she felt that she had sacrificed too much for her lover, Sarah finally chose to remain silent and pretended that nothing had happened in front of her family and in front of Darren.

    Sarah now began to rx her thoughts and feelings and turned to look at Joan who was eating her food voraciously .

    ¡± Did Liza ept this matchmaking ? ¡± Sarah asked which made Joan choked , she gave her Broter a ss of water and waited for Joan to take a sip of her drinking water .

    After feeling that his throat had improved, Joan finally spoke up.

    ¡°The matter of refusing or epting an arranged marriage, the decision is in my hands. That woman has no right to make any decisions,¡± said Joan, which made Sarah confused.

    ¡°You can¡¯t do that, dear, the decision will be taken from both sides,¡± added Auris, which made Joan smile awkwardly.

    ¡± Your mother ¡®s words are correct , Joan , we can not force Liza ¡®s will just because we are richer than her ¡± Ansel said confirming his wife ¡®s words .

    Joan finally fell silent, not because of the words of her parents but because Liza¡¯s words that she had a lover came back to haunt her mind.

 3. Worried

    Joany down on arge mattress in her penthouse, the journey that took about 3 hours from the location of her parents¡¯ mansion made her feel exhausted.

    Joan began to stare at the ceiling of her room , now her mind was only filled with decisions she had to make at the meeting of the two families Rivenno and Hope which would be held tomorrow night .

    Honestly, he has felt love for this woman since the first time he met her, but on the other hand, Joan has to keep her promise to Liza who refuses the matchmaking aspensation she has to give for what she has done.

    ¡± Arghhh , damn why did I have to do that inhumane act ¡± Joan shouted while ruffling her hair Frustrated .

    ¡°What¡¯s wrong boss?¡±  Asked a man in a suit who had just entered his boss¡¯s room, the man¡¯s breath seemed to be out of breath due to running a marathon entering Joan¡¯s room when he heard his boss¡¯ screams.

    Joan looked at her secretary with an indescribable look. Joan then tried to look calm in front of her secretary named Dafa.

    ¡± It ¡®s okay Daf ¡± replied Joan casually .

    Dafa looked at her boss and high school friend with a worried look. Seeing Joan¡¯s chaotic appearance made her assume that the man in front of her was facing some problem.

    ¡°Joan, this time I¡¯m seriously asking Lo as a friend, not a secretary, so please exin to me what happened to Lo¡¯s equatorial crest that made you mess up like that?¡± asked Dafa, which made Joan inevitably have to exin the truth.

    Joan finally started to get out of bed and moved to a circr sofa in the living room followed by Dafa.

    The two began to sit across from each other , Dafa started pouring a ss of water and gave it to Joan to make the man feel a little calmer .

    Joan quickly gulped down the water and put the empty ss back on the table in front of her. She seemed to take a deep breath before telling Dafa everything.

    ¡°Daf You know I¡¯m going to be matched?¡±  asked Joan to which Dafa nodded.

    ¡± Then what ¡®s the problem , is the girl less beautiful or less sexy in Lo ¡®s eyes ? ¡± Dafa asked innocently which earned him one hit from Joan .

    ¡°Daf, can you reduce it to a pervert, Lo, it¡¯s disgusting, I hear it,¡± said Joan with an annoyed expression.

    Dafa just smiles innocently

    ¡± Is that girl pretty boss ? ¡± asked Dafa in return for a nod by Joan .

    ¡± That girl is Liza Nathalia Hope ¡± said Joan to the point .

    Hearing Joan¡¯s words, Dafa immediately rolled her eyes in disbelief at the words of the man in front of her.

    Dafa shook his head in disbelief ¡°You¡¯re no longer chasing you Boss, how can a beautiful and sexy Liza be matched with you?¡±

    Joan nodded her head reassuringly.  Dafa could only massage her temples, which felt dizzy.

    ¡°I never thought that Liza¡¯sst name was the same as Hope¡¯s surname, I didn¡¯t think that Liza was the daughter of that family.¡± It was Dafa that Joan could understand.

    ¡°So you¡¯re going to ept this match, boss? Asked Dafa with a jealous expression.

    Joan was silent for a moment, she looked like she was thinking about something in her head.

    ¡± Boss ¡± called Dafa to break Joan ¡®s daydream .

    ¡°I also don¡¯t know what decision I should take Daf, my feelings say that I love that woman but on the other hand I have to keep my promise¡±

    Dafa frowned ¡°Promise?¡±

    ¡°I promised Liza that I would refuse this match¡± Joan replied matter-of-factly.

    ¡°Joan, Lo is stupid or what. Is Liza not ording to the criteria of the woman of your dreams or do you need a woman whose wealth exceeds the wealth of your family?¡±  is in front of him.

    ¡± To be honest , I ¡®ve had a crush on Liza since the first time I met her and at that moment I realized that this feeling has never urred to any woman ¡± replied Joan without hiding the facts .

    Dafa let out a shaky breath, ¡°So now what¡¯s the problem, Joan Arkan Rivenno, you already like this girl, so it¡¯s better if you just let it go, Liza quickly rushed you did something that wasn¡¯t ording to the norms and thew before you got married, wouldn¡¯t that be the case.  troublesome business¡±

    Hearing her secretary¡¯s words, Joan¡¯s fear came back to haunt her mind. If only she didn¡¯t do it that night, her decision about epting her arranged marriage with Liza would be revealed to everyone.

    ***

    Liza smiled sweetly when she saw the man who had just opened his apartment .All content is property ? N?velDrama.Org.

    ¡± Surprise ¡± Liza shouted as she hugged the man .

    The tall man showed a happy expression when he saw Liza¡¯s arrival without informing him.

    The man named Dn Alexi tightened their hug even more .

    ¡± How long do you want the hug ,n ? ¡± Liza sarcastically made Dn immediately let go of his embrace .

    ¡°Well, I¡¯ll let you go Li.¡± Dn put on a disappointed face.

    ¡°Oh, don¡¯t frown like that, your handsome face will fade again.¡± Liza gently stroked Dn¡¯s cheek.

    Dn smiled crookedly showing his dimples , he then pulled Liza ¡®s body into his apartment .

    When he entered the room Dn asked Liza to sit on the sofa then Liza did.

    ¡°Li, you wait a moment, I¡¯ll make you a drink first,¡± said Dn.

    Liza could only nod in resignation as she watched Dn walk away towards the kitchen .

    Dn always treats Liza well , he is not like other men who are indifferent to their women . That is what makes Lizafortable when he is by her side .

    The man is really much different from other men. Dn¡¯s family status, which used to be economically deprived, made Dn grow up to be an independent and hard-working child.  his family and that¡¯s when Dn plunged into the world of entertainment as an actor and became an international model because of his perfect visuals.

    Liza and Dn do have the same profession, it¡¯s just that Liza was born into a rich family while Dn who was born in a less well-off family. That¡¯s what became a consideration for both of them to publish their rtionship in public, they were afraid of thements that other people would make.  out there including Liza¡¯s parents who are crazy about status.

    ¡± Why are you daydreaming Li ? ¡± The voice of the man who just came with the tray interrupted Liza ¡®s daydream .

    Liza turned towards the source of the voice, she then stood up from her sitting position and took the tray that Dn brought and put it on the table.

    ¡± Lan , I already told you that you can not get tired ¡± said Liza warning Dn so that the disease does not rpse .

    Dn just giggled ¡°my illness won¡¯t cause death, you¡¯re really serious li¡± Dn said casually while sipping the mango juice he had made.

    ¡± Yes , I also know why Lo ¡®s disease is not deadly , but the effect can actually damage Lon ¡®s skin ¡± said Liza reminded .

    ¡± Calm down Li ,tely I ¡®m rarely stressed or tired because I see Lo Mulu ¡®s beautiful face , ¡± Dn raged which made Liza look annoyed .

    ¡± Lan , I beg you to never take your illness lightly , I ¡®m afraid that one day it will have another effect ¡± said Liza exining her concern about the Cholinergic Urticaria disease that Dn had been suffering from since his debut .

    Thest time Dn¡¯s illness rpsed was when he was shooting from morning to night for his new film with Liza, his tired body made his whole body red and rashes and high body temperature appeared. So worried, Liza even took Dn to America to get the best treatment there  .

    Liza stood up from her sitting position and quickly hugged Dn who was still sitting in her position.

    ¡°Lan promise me you¡¯ll never get sick again, even though I¡¯m not beside you, I hope you¡¯ll still take care of your health!¡± Liza¡¯s orders made Dn instantly surprised to hear the words of the woman who was hugging him.

    Dn stood up from his sitting position while tightening his arms , he gently stroked the top of the woman ¡®s head .

    ¡°Li, I¡¯m really grateful to have a good girl and really cares about me and my family. But I beg you, Lo Li, to get rid of that excessive fear of Lo!  ¡± Dn whispered right in Liza¡¯s ear.

    Liza started to shed tears when she heard Joan¡¯sst sentence, the truth was implied in that sentence.

    If only Dn knew what happened to Liza at this time, maybe the man was reluctant to ept it or just looked at him, surely Sudi would not.

    ¡°I¡¯m sorry and¡± Liza thought.

    Liza did not want to dissolve in her sadness and make Dn suspicious of her behavior , she then quickly released her arms and kept her distance from Dn .

    Liza returned to sitting on the sofa she had been sitting on , to relieve her sadness she switched to tasting cakes and other spicy snacks that Dn had prepared .

    Dn just looked at Liza who was eating with a surprised look, her different attitude today made her want to ask a million questions that popped up in her mind.

    But Dn just wants to be safe, he doesn¡¯t want to know something that will make him suffer.  Better to bury the truth deep if it really hurts .

    ¡± Both my parents really want to meet , Li ¡± said Dn diverting Liza ¡®s attention .

    ¡± Lately my schedule is full Lan , if I hurry tomorrow I will try to meet them . We have not seen each other for a long time , I really miss them ¡± Liza started to show her happy smile .

    Liza and Dn¡¯s parents are very close indeed. Liza always meets Dn¡¯s family residence which takes 3 hours from her ce. If Liza wants to meet them, of course she must have free time because if Liza is at home it feels veryfortable until she  reluctant to go home and always stay for days. Not because of a luxurious house, but because of the warmth that lies in the family. Dn¡¯s father, mother, and younger Broter are indeed very good to Liza, making Liza feel as if they are her family, not family. her lover

 4. Decision

    Now Joan started to walk into a fancy restaurant where her meeting with the Hope family was supposed to take ce 15 minutes ago .

    This time Joan didete because she had to hold a meeting with very important clients, luckily she told her family toe earlier than her, at least the Hope family wouldn¡¯t be too disappointed because they waited too long without any of her family apanying her.

    When he arrived at one of the private rooms dedicated to the restaurant¡¯s important guests, his eyes immediately fell on a woman who looked very elegant in a red dress. The woman didn¡¯t look at Joan, she was just busy chatting with Joan¡¯s parents.

    ¡°Sorry, Uncle, Auntie, Joan camete because she had to hold a meeting¡± said Joan to Liam Maverick Hope and Zea Arabelle hope who are Liza¡¯s parents.

    Zea smiled sweetly while holding Joan¡¯s cheek. ¡°Oh, it turns out that your husband is Li, he¡¯s really handsome.¡± Zea¡¯s rags to Liza were immediately met with a cynical look from her son.

    ¡± Thank you Auntie , Auntie is also no less beautiful than Auntie ¡®s child ¡± replied Joan while looking alternately at Zea and Liza .

    Liza put on an annoyed expression how can her 24 years old be equated with a 48 year old woman. If only Joan and Liza were in that ce, maybe Joan¡¯s handsome face would have been wed out by Liza.

    Joan smiled with satisfaction , she was excited to see the woman sitting beside her wearing an annoyed expression .

    ¡°Don¡¯t smile like that, Li, you¡¯ll lose your beauty,¡± said Joan to Liza, which made her parents just shake their heads at the behavior of their son who was busy making fun of his future wife.

    ¡°It¡¯s a shame, don¡¯t make fun of Liza all the time. It¡¯s a shame that the mood is gone,¡± suggested Auris to Joan.

    ¡°Mama, you¡¯re right, son, it¡¯s better if we all start eating now. Poor Liam and Aunt Zea, who have been waiting for you for a long time,¡± Ansel added, to which everyone in the room immediately obeyed.N?velDrama.Org owns this text.

    They all started busy eating every food that had been served by the restaurant waiters .

    Joan started cutting the steak with a knife and fork quickly , after cutting it evenly Joan swiftly exchanged her te of steak with Liza ¡®s steak te which had not been cut at all .

    ¡± Just eat this one Li , this one has better seasoning ¡± Joan said pleasantly .

    ¡°Okay¡± Liza answered briefly without putting on the slightest smile or just saying thank you.

    Seeing her son¡¯s very indifferent attitude towards Joan, Zea immediately looked at Liza with a sharp gaze.

    Zea always treats Liza harshly, she rarely pays attention and gives love to Liza because she is busy with the affairs of the ZSpany, a securitypany that houses the most influential bodyguards in the world. There is no difference with Zea, Liam as a politician who serves as president  could only meet with his only child about once a month.

    ¡± So what about Li , are you ready to marry Joan ? ¡± Ansel asked to lighten the mood .

    Liza didn¡¯t move, her mouth felt locked at this point. She couldn¡¯t even be honest about her real decision. She was afraid of hurting the feelings of Joan¡¯s parents who were very friendly to her.

    ¡°If you and Joan get married, uncle will give you 25% of the wealth that you have, whether it¡¯s assets or shares, you are free to choose¡± continued Ansel which made Zea and Liam widen their eyes in disbelief that Liam wouldpensate Liza that much.

    While Joan he just smiled triumphantly , for a moment he assumed that Liza would ept this matchmaking .

    ¡°No, uncle, I can¡¯t ept this matchmaking, I¡¯ve never loved Bro Joan¡± Liza answered frankly.

    ¡± Li , the problem of not being in love is a back matter , Auntie is sure that after the two of you are married , love wille automatically , ¡± added Auris .

    Liza shook her head full ¡°Sorry Auntie, the problem is I already have a lover. My feelings for him are very deep, I can¡¯t leave him just because of wealth¡± Liza answered which made Auris and Ansel very disappointed.  Likewise with Liam and Zea , they looked at their daughter with sharp eyes .

    While Joan , she prefers to lower her face to cool her mind and heart which is starting to heat up . Her eyes are starting to ze over to hold back every tear that will start flowing down her cheeks .

    Liza turned to Joan who was looking down, at this time she was sure that the man who had stained her was holding back his smile and was satisfied with Liza¡¯s decision to reject this matchmaking.

    After all, Joan has already felt Liza¡¯s body, why should something that has been damaged be bought again, it must be very detrimental to her. And that is Liza¡¯s opinion about Joan¡¯s thoughts.

    Joan immediately stood up from her seat she remained faithfully bowed her head.

    ¡°Mah, pah, uncle, aunty, Joan said goodbye¡± Joan said without looking at anyone, she then turned her back to everyone who was still in the room, she quickly stepped out of the room.

    Seeing Joan¡¯s departure, Liza also left the room with the excuse that she wanted to go to the toilet.

    Instead of going to the toilet , Liza actually followed Joan from a distance . The man was now stopping in a room that functioned as the restaurant ¡®s warehouse .

    Joan leaned her body against the wall, she hit her hands on the wall several times. Liza could clearly see that her guess was wrong, Joan was notughing but instead she was crying.

    This time Liza started to approach Joan , she immediately grabbed Joan ¡®s wrist that was still faithfully beating her fist against the wall .

    Joan looked at the person who had just stopped her activities. Instead of being angry because someone was disturbing her, Joan immediately hugged the woman hoping to find peace.

    Liza can clearly hear the man¡¯s every sob, it seems that the man is very devastated at this time.  He then returned the hug and rubbed Joan¡¯s back gently.

    Joan began to feel a little calm, she felt the warmth that was transmitted by the woman made her fragile heart be whole again.

 5. Be Friends

    Happy reading ¡­

    Liza began to release her arms slowly, her hands now turned to hold Joan¡¯s hand, which was injured by the impact of the wall.

    ¡± Bro Joan what are you doing ? I¡¯m just as annoyed as you and I should not have hurt your hand ! ¡± Liza quickly grabbed Joan ¡®s hand , she started to gently blow on Joan ¡®s wound .

    Joan froze at the sight in front of her, there was a feeling of joy that rose from her heart. Instantly the pain just disappeared like being hit by the wind.

    Liza stopped her activities because she felt Joan was staring at her intensely.

    ¡°Bro, let¡¯s go to the hospital. Your wound must be treated immediately so that it doesn¡¯t get infected!¡±  Liza ordered, remembering that Joan is a CEO at an ITpany who every day has to use her hands to type something on her keyboard keys.

    Joan shook her head ¡°No need Li, this wound isn¡¯t too bad. At least if you use red medicine, it will heal right away.¡±

    Liza was annoyed to hear Joan¡¯s answer ¡°ish, if Auris Auris and Uncle Ansel knew about your Broter¡¯s situation, they would both be really worried¡±.

    ¡± No Li , this wound is still far from the heart . They can not possibly worry ¡± Joan chattered which made Liza immediately want to m her out of the earth .N?vel(D)rama.Org''s content.

    Liza stroked her chest while saying istighfar in her heart.

    Astaghfiruh hal¡¯adzim, strengthen your servant in the face of all these trials, O Ah. Liza thought

    ¡± Do you want to treat your own brother ¡®s wound ? ¡± Liza asked to which Joan nodded immediately .

    Liza stared at Joan, unable to bear to see the condition of the man in front of her, Joan¡¯s condition which was like being wed by a cat made her suddenly be respectful.

    ¡± Bro , it¡¯s better if you go to my ce now . Let me help you treat your wounds . ¡± Liza said offering help .

    This time Joan just smiled with a smirk without refusing Liza¡¯s offer. Even though they weren¡¯t married, at least he could be a little closer to her.

    For a moment Liza looked at Joan who was smiling happily , now she started to pull Joan ¡®s hand towards the parking lot which is not far from the position of the building .

    Liza stopped her steps followed by Joan , both of them looked at each other when they got to the car park .

    ¡°What¡¯s wrong Li, why did you stop?¡± Joan asked surprised.

    ¡°I don¡¯t have a car, Bro, I just use my brother¡¯s car,¡± said Liza, to which Joan nodded immediately.

    Joan then quickly took out her car key from her trouser pocket, she then gave the key to Liza.

    ¡± You just use Li , my hand is injured so it is impossible to drive a car ¡± said Joan modus , even though her hand can still drive her car well . It ¡®s just that she wants to see Liza ¡®s ability as an actress who often ys action roles in driving a car .

    Liza just nodded without refusal. She then immediately rushed to follow Joan¡¯s steps to where the man¡¯s car was parked.

    Liza immediately pressed the active button on the red Lamborghini car remote, after the car door was opened the two immediately split up to their respective ces, Liza upied the driver¡¯s seat while Joan upied the passenger seat.

    Liza immediately pressed the gas with a speed above the average that made Joan gasped in surprise. It was true that Joan¡¯s suspicions, that woman has greater driving skills than her, who is a man.

    During the trip the two didn¡¯t talk much, Joan preferred to y on her cellphone while Liza chose to focus on driving.

    It didn¡¯t take long, their journey from the restaurant to Liza¡¯s private house only took 15 minutes. Because Liza was driving like a racer so it could shorten the travel time.

    Joan frowned because what she saw now was not an apartment but a luxury house with an American ssic design.

    ¡± I can not take my Broter to the apartment because my manager will be there ¡± Liza exined after seeing Joan ¡®s confused expression .

    Joan¡¯s mouth looks like an O shape ¡°Oh I see, so this is your parents¡¯ house, Li?¡±

    Liza shook her head ¡± No Bro , this is my private house . This house is the result of my hard work , not bought from mom or dad ¡®s money ¡± .

    Joan was stunned to hear Liza¡¯s words, she did not think that this girl from a conglomerate family was someone who was independent. In the past, Joan thought that Liza was just like other girls from rich families who were spoiled and could only spend the money earned by her parents, it turns out  this girl is different from them. Liza¡¯s attitude on this one again makes Joan want to have her even more.

    ¡°Come on Bro, what are you doing standing there!¡±  Liza eximed, interrupting Joan¡¯s daydream.

    Liza began to hold the man¡¯s hand into her house, again Joan was stunned to see the contents of the house filled with various award trophies and various posters of Liza which she thought looked very cute.

    ¡°Wait here, Bro, I want to get the first aid kit first¡± Liza said when they were in the living room.

    Liza immediately rushed to the kitchen, where she kept the box. Meanwhile, Joan preferred to sit on the sofa and closed her eyes because she was starting to feel very tired. It was natural.  he just felt tired , because his busy schedule plus his meeting with Liza ¡®s family made his mood shattered .

    Joan immediately opened her eyes again when she felt someone sitting beside her.

    Liza began to hold Joan¡¯s injured hand, she began to clean the wound carefully so that Joan would not feel pain.

    Joan just smiled seeing Liza¡¯s face which was focused on cleaning her wound.

    ¡± Li , do you hate me that much ? ¡± Joan asked .

    Liza turned to look at Joan¡¯s face, she then shook her head slowly ¡°No really¡±.

    ¡°Then why did you refuse the match, was it because of what happened that night Li?¡± Joan asked again to make sure.

    Liza again shook her head slowly, she began to look at Joan with a reassuring look ¡°No Bro, what has happened let it happen. I will never have a problem with that again Bro, just that day I cried. I don¡¯t want to cry anymore for things that I can¡¯t even have  back again as before ¡± Liza answered honestly.

    ¡°Then why don¡¯t you ept me Li?¡±

    ¡°Because I¡¯ve never loved you, my heart has been filled with another man, Bro. It¡¯s impossible for a woman to keep two men in one heart,¡± said Liza, breaking down Joan¡¯s defenses.

    Joan just nodded in understanding with all of Liza¡¯s words, she could feel what it was like to love someone, just like her love for that woman. Joan tried her best to keep her tears from falling in front of the woman.

    The man smiled showing a row of white teeth, he didn¡¯t want to show a sad face for the second time in front of the woman.

    ¡°Li even though you refuse to be my wife, but can you be a friend to me?¡±

    Liza nodded excitedly with a smile ¡°Of course, Bro, having a friend who is handsome and has a very high IQ must be very exciting, I¡¯m sure that the woman who will be my Broter¡¯s wife in the future will be very happy to have a life partner like her Broter¡± Liza said innocently.

    Then why can¡¯t Li you be that woman?

    Joan thought.

 6. Beautiful night

    Happy reading¡­

    Joan smiled with satisfaction when Liza told her to stay at her house tonight, the woman allowed her to stay because it waste at night.

    Liza looked at Joan who was blushing shyly, while what she looked at looked awkward, Joan immediately changed her facial expression to be t.

    ¡°Don¡¯t think it¡¯s weird, Bro! I told you to stay here because your house is very far from this ce¡±

    Joan squinted her eyes , she did not expect that the woman did not know that the distance between their residences was actually very close .

    ¡± Which house are you referring to Li ? ¡±

    ¡± Rivenno ¡®s family house is Bro , the most magnificent house in this country , hehehe .. ¡± Lizaughed at the Sultan ¡®s son who was sitting beside her .

    When Joan heard the woman¡¯s voice, Joan immediately moved her hand to pinch Liza¡¯s thin cheek.

    ¡°Ugh, pretty ¨C beautiful but so you know¡±

    Liza just smiled in response to the man ¡®s behavior that kept pinching her cheeks in annoyance .

    ¡± It¡¯s okay Bro , it ¡®s alreadyte , I know I have to do a script reading tomorrow morning ¡± Liza asked the man .

    Joan now stopped her behavior , implied happiness in her heart when she could joke with the woman who had recently filled her heart .

    ¡°Well sorry, you finally know how to be a person. Besides, my house is quite close from here, at least 10 minutes have arrived¡±

    Liza rolled her eyes ¡± seriously Bro , where do you actually live ? ¡± Liza asked with a puzzled expression .

    ¡± At the Hyde Park penthouse penthouse ¡± Joan answered shortly .

    Once again Liza was surprised to hear the answer from the man, at this time she covered her mouth with her palms, her eyes widened in disbelief that Joan had a penthouse worth 200 million US dors or equivalent to Rp. 2. 8 trillion.

    ¡°Actually, the Rivenno family has a fortune of how many trillions, Bro, until you bought a ce to live that is included in the ranks of the world¡¯s most expensive penthouses?¡± Liza asked satisfying her curiosity.

    Joan looked at Liza with a look that no one could interpret ¡°Li, wealth can¡¯t measure a person¡¯s happiness, so please change the subject!¡± Again, Joan put on a straight face.

    Liza wrinkled her forehead , suddenly she fell silent detecting Joan ¡®s mood which suddenly changed in a matter of minutes .

    Liza then stood up from her sitting position, not forgetting to pull Joan¡¯s body which was still sitting down to stand up. Without saying anything, she immediately pulled Joan¡¯s body into the private elevator to the Rooftop room.

    While in the elevator, Joan kept looking at Liza with a surprised look.

    ¡± Tonight I have no intention of sleeping Bro , it is said that if you sleep a lot it can make your body fat , not only that Bro the impact on women can even make it difficult to get pregnant ¡± Liza said pleasantly .

    Joan exhaled in exasperation at the woman¡¯s exnation. ¡°Then what¡¯s the matter with me, Li, who is not a woman in particr?¡±

    ¡°Well, because you are a man, then you will be the husband of a woman and that was the point, if you want to be a father, you must forbid your wife from sleeping too much so that you can easily get pregnantter¡± Liza replied, which made Joan even more  felt dizzy.

    ¡± Li can not say it , do not digress like that , if you ¡®re sleepy , let ¡®s just sleep now ! ¡± Joan asked frustrated .

    Liza just smiled without listening to Joan¡¯s exmation, a happy expression on her face when the elevator arrived at the Rooftop.

    Without saying a word he immediately pulled Joan ¡®s stout body towards the clearing .

    Joan was silent enjoying the atmosphere of the night breeze which was decorated with sparkling stars in the sky .

    Ignoring Liza, Joan immediatelyy down before that, she used her jacket as a cushion and then she looked at all the stars above her.

    Not staying silent, Liza immediately followed andy down beside Joan she first stretched out Joan¡¯s muscr left hand and then used it as a cushion because she didn¡¯t bring a jacket or anything like that.

    Joan looked at the woman lying beside her with a smile that never stopped adorning her handsome face. She had never felt this perfection in her life.

    Liza focused on staring at the sky, she didn¡¯t realize that a pair of eyes had been staring at her.

    Liza pointed to one of the brightest stars among the others.

    ¡± Bro look at that star , if youpare it to someone in your life , who has the brightest light among the others ? ¡± Asked the woman who was pointing at the star .

    Joan turned her gaze which had previously focused on looking at Liza, turned to the star that Liza pointed at.

    Joan looked at the star carefully, she thought of someone the woman was referring to.

    ¡°Shining the brightest of all, if I answer my parents it seems impossible Li, because I always thought that they had abandoned me when I was sent to the US¡±.

    Liza turned to the man, she didn¡¯t think that Joan¡¯s parents, who looked so fond of her, were not the ones who became the light for Joan.

    ¡°Is that person Bro Sarah?¡±

    Joan shook her head , it was impossible for her jealous Broter to be the one who illuminates her life the most .

    ¡± Then who are you ? ¡± Liza asked again with curiosity .

    That person is you Li. Joan thought

    ¡°Haven¡¯t met Li yet,¡± answered Joan, deviating from the truth.

    ¡± Are you serious Bro ? Have you never had a boyfriend or first love ? ¡± Liza asked not satisfied with the man ¡®s answer .

    ¡°Never Li, because since elementary school until graduating from college, I have been abandoned in other countries. Close to girls are mostly Caucasians and even then no one has ever taken them seriously. Then when I came back to this country I was immediately put into a familypany, because of my position at that time.  As a director, that¡¯s why I don¡¯t have time to make friends with one girl,¡± said Joan, exining in every detail the reason why she never had a boyfriend.

    Liza burst outughing ¨C breaking the silence that nightN?velDrama.Org owns this.

    ¡°Hahahaha¡­ it turns out that the Sultan¡¯s son has never had a trailer. The truck doesn¡¯t even have a brother or Broter,¡± Liza teased, which made Joan feel very embarrassed.

    ¡± How are you li , are you living a good life ? ¡± Joan asked changing the subject .

    Liza was silent for a moment she covered her eyes while saying something ¡°It¡¯s really bad Bro, every day I have to hear my parents¡¯ fight, from the beginning papah never loved mamah it was the matchmaking that made them live together, my papa used to have a woman he loved very much but because  Mamah¡¯s jealousy was the one that killed the woman, since that day papa has never even been kind to mama. All of these things made me sick, Bro, I ran away from them and chased my dream to be an actress. I broke their hopes to make me one  ¨C the only heir to the keka¡ª¡±

    Before Liza could finish her words, Joan immediately hugged her tightly.

    ¡± There ¡®s no need to continue Li ! ¡± Joan gently rubbed Liza ¡®s back .

    Liza was just silent following Joan¡¯s orders.  The woman did not want to cry , she preferred to close her eyes while burying her head in Joan ¡®s shoulder .

    Likewise with Joan he did not want to let go of his embrace, following Liza Joan also closed her eyes in a position of hugging each other. The breeze that night made both of them fall asleep fast.

 7. Farewell and love

    Happy reading ¡­.

    Joan began to open her eyes when the sun had started to illuminate the rooftop, she nced at the clock that was wrapped around her wrist, the hands of the clock showed 05. 30, no wonder the sun had started to rise at this hour.

    Joan started to wake up into a sitting position, she looked for the woman who was lying beside herst night, at this time Joan did not see the woman¡¯s whereabouts but a letter lying beside her. Without hesitation, Joan immediately opened the letter quickly.

    good morning Bro¡­

    Sorry this morning I had to leave my Broter alone, I wanted to wake my Broter up but I couldn¡¯t bear it because my Broter was sleeping very soundly. I also want to say thank you to my Broter for listening to my storyst night and my Broter¡¯s hug really calmed me down, once again  thank you for your time Bro. I¡¯m sure your time means a lot even if it¡¯s for a second, butst night you wasted hours, I feel guilty for wasting your time like that.

    When I woke up this morning, Bro, I immediately realized that you are a very good listener. To be honest, I am very happy to have a friend like you, but at that moment I realized that I was not good enough to be close to you even though it was  as a friend. I¡¯m afraid something will happen to you if you continue to be near me, whether it¡¯s from my parents who are crazy about money or my fanatical fans.  I¡¯m just afraid that your Broter will end up getting hurt because of me, so I really beg you, don¡¯t ever see me again, when I say ept you as a friend, it only applies tost night, the rest act like a stranger, I think that¡¯s for the best  for both of us.

    Live well Bro with a woman who really loves you !  That¡¯s my only request as a friendst night brother.

    That¡¯s enough of our meeting, Bro. I¡¯ve prepared breakfast for my Broter downstairs, don¡¯t forget to eat it, Bro. Think of it as myst gift for my Broter.

    From : Liza Nathalia Hope.

    Joan tore the paper roughly, then she threw the torn paper so that it was scattered throughout the room. She did not ept if the woman told her to stay away from her life.

    After all,st night Liza had said that she wanted to be her best friend, then why did the woman immediately change her mind in just a matter of hours, this was very unfair to Joan. She felt very wronged by Liza¡¯s unteral decision.

    Joan ruffled her hair. Frustrated, she took out her cellphone from her coat pocket. She quickly typed a name in the search logo on the phone app. She immediately pressed the call button on the Dafa manager¡¯s contact.

    ¡± Hello , good morning boss ¡± said Dafa from the other side in the voice typical of people waking up .

    ¡°Hmm, I have an assignment for you Daf¡± Joan answered tly.

    ¡°What¡¯s the job boss?¡± asked Dafa in surprise.

    ¡± Find out where Liza is now , follow her wherever she goes ! If she is in her apartment please let me know , but if she is somewhere else you just need to monitor her and ensure her safety ! ¡±  Joan orders using formalnguage , if during working hours both of them are always polite like a boss and his subordinates .

    ¡± Ok boss , I will immediately carry out the boss ¡®s orders ¡± replied Dafa reassuringly the boss .

    ¡± Remember , I do not want Liza to know that someone is stalking her . You must do your job without any mistakes ! ¡± Joan warned .

    ¡°Yes boss, I will definitely monitor it closely. As if it looks like a ga¡ª¨C¡±

    Tut¡­ Tut..

    Dafa let out a shaky breath when Joan hung up the phone without waiting for her to finish her words.

    While on the other hand, Joan immediately left the Rooftop to the 3rd floor which is a special room for the dining room. Joan¡¯s eyes immediately sparkled when she saw all the food was neatly arranged like a 5-star restaurant, Joan¡¯s stomach immediately rumbled when she smelled the aroma of the food. Now Joan¡¯s eyes are captivated by rice  The fried rice looked very tempting, Joan swiftly devoured the fried rice even though there were many other food choices that were lower in calories than fried rice.

    Joan ate the fried rice voraciously, her irritation seemed to just disappear when she tasted the delicious fried rice made by Liza.

    Joan could immediately conclude that Liza descended from her mother¡¯s prowess who was very skilled in the field of cooking. Even though Zea was busy with her work, she always made time to cook something for her family.

    This time, Joan really regretted not being able to get a woman as perfect as Liza. Let alone making Liza a wife, even just as a friend, the woman had rejected Joan outright.

    Joan took a deep breath as she continued to chew her food voraciously.

    ***

    This morning Liza and Dn were rushing to the house of Dn¡¯s parents which was quite far away, it would take at least 4 hours to arrive in the city.

    In the car Liza was just daydreaming about the condition of the man she left on the rooftop alone this morning. She was afraid that the man would be very angry because he did not keep his promise to be a friend to Joan.

    Actually, Liza really wants to be friends with a man like Joan who always thinks of adults and always looks far ahead, but she is afraid that her rtionship with Joan will actually have a bad impact on Rivenno¡¯s family due to the actions of her own parents.

    ¡± Lo why Li ? ¡± asked Dn who had been watching the woman beside him pensively with a confused expression .

    Liza woke up from her daydream, she quickly turned to the source of the voice ¡°I¡¯m not sure why ¨C whyn, I just feel dizzy¡±

    Dn wrinkled his forehead , he did not believe the woman ¡®s words , the Liza he knew was someone who was used to long distance travel .

    ¡°Just go to America, which takes a long time Lo is strong Li, when my parents¡¯ house only takes 4 hours You¡¯re not strong Li?¡±  Dn asked to solve his curiosity.

    ¡°I also don¡¯t known, my head suddenly dizzy all of a sudden¡± Liza replied while massaging her forehead slowly like someone who was feeling dizzy.

    Dn stared at the woman in disbelief, this time he began to believe her words.

    ¡°Recently, is your schedule really busy, li?¡±

    Liza nodded at Dn¡¯s words ¡°Not bad, because I have to shoot almost every day because the director of the drama I¡¯m ying wants to speed up the broadcast of the drama, he said the director wants to immediately work on a new drama when the project is finished¡±

    Hearing the exnation from Liza , Dn shook his head not understanding anymore with this woman who always does not think about herself and prefers to continue to be professional in her work .

    ¡°Li, can¡¯t you just take time to rest for a while? After all, you have a lot of money, why are you trying to work so hard?¡±

    Liza looked away at the car window. ¡°Those who have a lot of money are my parents, Lan, not me. I have to work that hard because I don¡¯t want to depend on them anymore.¡± Liza answered in a disappointed tone.

    Dn was silent for a moment , now he understands why Liza did that . Maybe her parents would throw away their only child if Liza did not obey one thing they ordered .

    ¡°Well, if you¡¯re dizzy, you better go to sleep Li, I¡¯ll wake you up when you get there!¡± Dn ordered which Liza immediately obeyed, the woman immediately closed her eyes, because she felt sleepy because part of her night¡¯s sleep had been spent chatting with Joan.

    Now the atmosphere in the car is instantly quiet , Liza is sleeping with her dreams while Dn is still focused on driving without saying a word because he does not want to disturb Liza who is already asleep .

    4 hours have passed, at this time the car they are riding is parked neatly in a simple house but it looks very beautiful because the house is filled with various kinds of flowers that have been neatly arranged by Dn¡¯s mother.

    Liza immediately got out of the car with her pillow face, she repeatedly yawned because the drowsiness was still attacking her.

    Dn carried Liza, whose life had not yet been fully collected, the two of them immediately knocked on the house slowly.

    Knock knock..

    ¡± Assmuikum Father , Mother ¡± Dn knocked on the door many times because he had not received any answer from inside .

    ¡°They¡¯re at home right?¡± Liza asked, the woman was afraid that Dn¡¯s family wasn¡¯t at home at the moment, because Dn didn¡¯t tell her beforehand that the two of them would visit here today.

    ¡°They rarely leave the house, Li, unless there is a family event¡±

    Liza shaped her mouth like the letter O ¡± Ooh maybe they are in the kitchen this time so I can not hear ¡± Liza said , the woman immediately changed her position from standing behind Dn to being in front of the man .

    Now Liza began to take over to knock on the door of the house .

    Knock¡­ knock¡­ tock¡­

    ¡°Assmuikum Auntie, uncle, this is Liza¡±

    With just one knock , someone from inside immediately opened the door with a very happy expression .N?velDrama.Org owns this.

    The middle-aged woman immediately hugged Liza with joy ¡°Oh my goodness, the beauty didn¡¯t tell you if you wanted toe here, if you knew you would definitely make your favorite food¡±

    Said Renata who was very familiar with Liza like the rtionship between a mother and her daughter.

    Dn just red at the show , he was annoyed that he was beingpletely ignored at this time .

    ¡°Hmm, it¡¯s just Liza who is called. Have you forgotten Dn, Mom?¡± Joan sarcastically, who immediately distracted her mother, Renata swiftly turned to hug her eldest son.

    ¡°Oh my goodness this is the most handsome mother¡¯s child, why didn¡¯t you tell me if you wanted to bring your future wife to this house?¡±

    ¡± Liza does not want my mother to know that we areing today , because she does not want you to bother cooking something ¡± Dn exined to his mother .

    Renata looked at Liza with a sullen face ¡°You don¡¯t bother Auntie, howe Li, after all, Auntie is very happy when youe here, next time if you want toe here, just tell Auntie first!¡±

    Liza nodded at Renata¡¯s words with a smile that continued to stick to her beautiful face.

    ¡± Come on in ! ¡± Renata immediately took Liza ¡®s hand and entered the house followed by Dn behind her .

    Now they are in the living room , Liza immediately sat on one of the sofas next to Dn .

    ¡± Li , you were here with Dn first . Auntie wants to get something first ¡± said Renata , who had just walked off to the kitchen to prepare food for Liza and Dn .

    Liza is already used to this kind of treatment from Renata, she hase here several times, Dn¡¯s family always treats her well, while in this family Liza can really feel a greater sense of love than what her parents gave her.  alone .

 8. Reports and Spy

    Joan stared at herputer screen silently , Aileen as the asBrotant manager was annoyed because her boss did not hear her report clearly .

    ¡± Sir ¡± Aileen called to wake Joan from her daydream .

    Joan blinked he immediately turned his face towards Aileen.

    ¡°Eh sorry Leen, about the report¡± Joan pointed at the sheet of paper that was being held by Aileen.

    ¡± I will research it further when I am at home , so just give the report to Dafa so that he can analyze it first so that there are not many errors in the attached report ! ¡±  Joan continued.

    Hearing orders from her superiors, Aileen immediately bowed her head 90 degrees.

    ¡°Okay sir, I will immediately carry out your orders¡± Aileen said with all respect.

    ¡± Hmm , you can leave now ! ¡± Joan eximed without saying much . Aileen immediately rushed out of the room .

    Joan looked at her asBrotant ¡®s departure with a look that no one could interpret .

    Now Joan began to turn her gaze towards the screen of her cell phone as her fingers quickly typed a message in a private chat addressed to Dafa .

    To : Dafa manager

    Where is that woman now?

    Joan felt a little calm after sending the short message, this time she really had to express her curiosity about the woman. Now she started to stand up from her sitting position and walk back and forth like a confused person.

    Drrrttt¡­. the chat notification ringing from his cellphone instantly made him sit back down and immediately opened the contents of the chat.

    From: Dafa Manager

    ¡°Liza is out of town boss, it looks like she is at her boyfriend¡¯s family house. Soon my boss will send a photo of his girlfriend¡±

    Joan¡¯s eyes immediately bulged at the photo of the man who was called his ideal woman¡¯s lover. It felt like Joan wanted to immediately m her cellphone hard at this time. Just looking at the man¡¯s photo made her really sick, especially if she had to look directly at that annoying man.

    Ish¡­ Joan grabbed her hair. Frustrated, why not?  The man in the photo does look more handsome and younger than himself.  Judging from his face alone, it was certain that the man was of the same age as Liza.

    This time, Joan felt a deep sense of jealousy towards the woman who was nothing. Joan began to loosen her tie, she even took off her jacket, leaving only a white shirt.  Even though the room temperature was already cold due to the use of air conditioning, Joan still felt like her body was being exposed to direct sunlight.

    Joan looked back at her cell phone hesitantly she started calling her manager because she wanted to know more about the man ¡®s identity .

    ¡°Daf, did they do something too much?¡± Joan asked innocently which made Dafa chuckle.

    ¡± Yes , their boss is really romantic , like in Romeo and Juliet , the guy is really handsome , right ? ¡± Dafa asked getting heated up by the man on the other side .

    ¡± It¡¯s useless to be handsome but still small Daf ¡± replied Joan sarcastically .

    ¡°What a stupid boss, 25 years old, already well-established, what¡¯s wrong with that, no wonder Liza refuses the boss because of him¡± Dafa said making the situation even more confusing.

    ¡± By the way, if you¡¯re tired of working with me, I¡¯ll tell you that you don¡¯t have to use defense against him, I really don¡¯t like it when you defend other peoplepared to your own friends.¡± Joan threatened to start getting angry at Dafa¡¯s childish attitude.

    ¡°Oh, that¡¯s not the case, boss, Babang Dafa is always loyal to Joan¡¯s boss, but because of a little mistake, the boss immediately fires Babang.¡± Gombal Dafa hopes that his boss doesn¡¯t really want to fire him.

    ¡°Hmm¡­ I¡¯ve read it already! My intention was to call Lo because I wanted to know the identity of the guy starting from his job and other things.¡± Joan exined, who made Dafa nodded in understanding and went straight to the point revealing all the data about the man being talked about.

    ¡°Listen carefully, boss, his name is Dn Alexi, 25 years old, the son of two brothers, born in a simple family before his father was a farmer, their family¡¯s economic situation is now more than adequate since Dn started his debut in the entertainment world. Dn and Liza  estimated to be in a rtionship because they were involved in a love location in one of the films starring the two of them, Dn¡¯s height is about 179 cm, he has a younger Broter who is still in high school. Is the info iplete, boss?¡± said Dafa exining Dn¡¯s identity which he had obtained from various sources.  media .

    ¡°No Daf, but please send me your current location! I want to keep an eye on Liza, I¡¯m afraid that kid is doing something out of line¡± Joan replied awkwardly, deep down inside, she was the one who had done something to Liza.

    Dafa obeyed his boss ¡®s orders swiftly and his fingers quickly sent their location to Boss Joan ¡®s contacts .All content is property ? N?velDrama.Org.

    After getting the location, Joan immediately turned off her phone without saying a closing word to her manager. Dafa, who received this treatment, could only stroke her chest as she spoke in her heart.

    Joan put her coat back on, she tidied up her appearance a little which was a bit disheveled. After finishing her appearance she turned to tidying up the files that were scattered on the table, then she put the files into her briefcase. After it was considered neat, Joan brought the bag  and immediately left the office.

    Aileen, who saw her boss¡¯s departure, was reluctant to ask. She was afraid that she would be scolded again if she interfered too much with her boss¡¯s life.

    ***

    Joan¡¯s car stopped at an empty building that was towering, the building was opposite Dn¡¯s house. Joan deliberately made the unfinished building a hiding ce because the building had a rooftop which could be used as the most strategic ce to spy on Dn¡¯s movements and  Liza.

    Joan started taking out some things she needed to take to the Rooftop. She started to take two bottles of drinking water and some snacks and didn¡¯t forget to bring a pair of long-distance binocrs that she would use as her main facility to spy on every movement in the house.

    Joan quickly ran up the stairs to the Rooftop , when she arrived at the Rooftop Joan started looking all over the ce . Joan ¡®s expression was happy when she found Dafa who was still faithfully waiting there .

    ¡± Hello boss ¡± said Dafa when the boss was sitting beside him .

    ¡± Here ¡± Joan handed Dafa a bottle of water and a snack .

    Dafa¡¯s eyes started to light up after receiving the gift from her boss, to be honest, Dafa was already very hungry.

    ¡± Thank you boss ¡± said Dafa with a smile that continued to stick on his face . Without further ado, Dafa began to eat the food voraciously .

    In contrast to Joan, he actually started to monitor Dn¡¯s house instead.

    Joan focused on using the binocrs her grandfather gave her, the tens of millions of binocrs that Joan only used for very important things.

    Joan¡¯s eyes narrowed when she found Liza who was chatting with Dn seriously.

    Joan was very frustrated because she could not hear clearly what they were talking about .

    ¡± What ¡®s wrong boss ? ¡± asked Dafa who saw his boss ¡®s strange behavior .

    Joan stopped her activities this time she started to turn her gaze towards Dafa .

    ¡°I¡¯m annoyed that I can¡¯t hear their conversation. I¡¯m afraid that Dn will talk to my girl pervertedly,¡± replied Joan, her possessive attitude waspletely intolerable by Dafa.

    Dafa exhaled harshly, the boss¡¯s attitude was really like a man who was afraid if his woman cheated on him. After all, the two of them weren¡¯t dating or married either. Joan acted as if he had her when in reality Liza only thought of Joan as a passing wind.

    Dafa scratched his head which didn¡¯t itch at all. ¡± Boss, there are a lot of mosquitoes. It¡¯ste. Let¡¯s just go home, boss.¡± Dafa whined as she scratched her hand which was itchy from mosquito bites.

    Joan shook her head slowly, she was still determined to stay in a ce far from thatfortable word. Even though her body was covered in mosquito bites, the man would still spy on Liza until the woman came home. Joan wanted to make sure that nothing happened between Liza and Dn.  .

    ¡°I¡¯ll add 10 times your sry,¡± Joan offered, which made Dafa scream with joy.

    Dafa smirks as he bends his body 90 degrees

    ¡± Thank you very much my handsome and kind boss , then I will remain faithful to apany you even though I have to suffer from dengue fever ¡± .

    Joan looked at Dafa with a cynical look, she was used to Dafa¡¯s merciless attitude.

    Joan took something from her coat pocket , then she gave it to Dafa .

    ¡± Please install it near the balcony of Liza ¡®s room ! ¡± Joan ordered after the bug was in Dafa ¡®s hands .

    Dafa quickly obeyed his boss ¡®s orders , he ran down from the rooftop and started to act to install the device on the balcony of Liza ¡®s room on the 2nd floor .

    Luckily there was a foldingdder that was kept in the courtyard of the house , Dafa quickly moved thedder to the balcony where the tap would be installed .

    Dafa had to be extra careful because Liza and Dn were next to the room, and she even had to sneak around like a thief.

    Dafa started to climb the stairs without making any sound , after arriving at the balcony he immediately attached the bug to one of the flowers on disy as decoration .

    Finally Dafa was able to breathe a sigh of relief after the device was installed, he quickly got off the balcony and returned to his boss who was monitoring his movements.

    Joan gave a thumbs up to Dafa, the man immediately took the bluetooth handset that was connected to the eavesdropper.

    Joan smiled with satisfaction when she could hear their conversation clearly. This time she started tobine two activities at once, namely seeing and listening.

    ¡°Andtely I often feel lonely, sometimes I also feel scared¡±

    ¡°Li, I¡¯ve reminded you many times, if you¡¯re lonely and scared just call me, I¡¯m ready to apany you anytime¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s not like that and I just don¡¯t want to bother and take up your time. I understand how you feel when you¡¯re tired from work, tired and of course you¡¯ll also feel frustration in front of fanatical fans¡±

    ¡°Hmm, I¡¯m used to all that stuff Li¡±

    ¡°Well that¡¯s why I don¡¯t have the heart to bother Lo Lan moreover you can¡¯t be too tired, I just want you to always be healthy and always beside me Lan¡±

    ¡± Li , the only person I never understood was Lo Liza Nathalia Hope ¡± said Dn while embracing Liza ¡®s shoulder .

    ¡°Why me? Why me, Lan?¡±

    ¡°Because you are always there for me, but I¡¯ve never been there for you. It¡¯s not fair to be called Li if you always take the time to take care of me while I never take the time to apany Lo li¡±

    ¡°And if you think it¡¯s unfair, how about we just get married so you can apany me any time?¡±

    Joan opened her handset harshly, she was very upset to hear Liza¡¯s words that asked Dn to marry. Her heart felt like it was sliced ??by a dagger. Her tears immediately fell down her cheeks, this is the first time she has felt a broken heart caused by a woman.

    Dafa was surprised to see Joan ¡®s face filled with tears , it was certain that her boss heard something that she should not have heard .

    ¡°Boss, do you want to go back?¡± asked Dafa stuttering.

    Joan nodded , without saying a word she just walked away leaving Dafa and the things she brought with her .

 9. Unexpected Meeting

    Joan had raised her hand since that night she no longer cared about Liza. Whatever happened to that woman had nothing to do with her anymore.

    Joan still faithfully sat in her work chair apanied by Dafa, who was checking every file that Joan had to sign.

    ¡± Is my schedule empty this afternoon Daf ? ¡± Joan asked using formalnguage , of course she did this to maintain a professional attitude .

    ¡°No boss, this afternoon there is a meeting you must attend¡±.

    Joan frowned ¡± Wasn¡¯t the meeting with all the clients held yesterday ? ¡±

    Dafa shook her head slowly ¡°Today you have to have a meeting with an actress who will be the star of themercial for theunch of the newest edition of the ne¡±.

    Joan was silent, she didn¡¯t understand the manager¡¯s exnation at all, why a CEO in an ITpany had to take care of the tasks that should be carried out by the CEO of the Angkasa Pura Company.

    ¡°Sorry boss, I forgot to tell you earlier that Miss Sarah wants you to take over temporarily to take care of herpany.¡± It was clear that Dafa had seen the look on Joan¡¯s face that was very confused.

    Joan looked at her manager with a sharp look ¡± Who told you to obey Sarah ¡®s orders ? ¡± Joan started to raise her voice which sounded like a yell .

    Dafa lowered his head, his body started to tremble at the boss¡¯s wrath

    ¡± Sorry boss , but madam and sir have agreed to this . So I can not refuse the request ¡± .

    Joan ruffled her hair Frustrated, she was really annoyed with the attitude of her parents who always obeyed Sarah¡¯s request even though she was the one who had to be the one who had to be the one to suffer the most.  answer to thepany.

    ¡± How many days did he go this time ? ¡± Joan asked who still had an annoyed expression on her face .

    ¡± About a month boss ¡± answered Dafa awkwardly .

    Joanughed , not because she was happy , she felt frustrated because she had to run two tasks at once .

    Dafaughed in frustration. In a situation like this, it was not only Joan who was harmed, but she also participated in carrying out two tasks at once.

    On the other hand, a girl and a man in his 40s were waiting in one of the VIP dining rooms in a fancy restaurant.

    The girl named Liza nced at the clock that was wrapped around her wrist , the appointed meeting time was already 15 minutes past the scheduled time .

    ¡± Boss , why have they note yet ? ¡± Liza asked Reno , who is the head of an agency that has overshadowed her until she became famous as she is now .

    ¡°They might get stuck in traffic, Li, they¡¯lle soon.¡±  Reno said , he firmly believed that a CEO of such argepany must have a strong reason when he made a mistake .

    Liza just nodded at Reno ¡®s words , this time she focused on reading the script for the film she was going to do this afternoon .

    Unlike Reno , the man was busy eating his coffee deliciously .All content is property ? N?velDrama.Org.

    ¡± Sorry sir , we have made you wait too long ¡± said Dafa who immediately stopped Liza and Reno ¡®s activities who were busy with their respective worlds .

    Reno turned to the source of the voice followed by Liza who turned in the same direction.

    Deg¡­

    The man standing beside Dafa rolled his eyes in disbelief that the actress that Dafa was referring to was Liza , the woman he loved .

    As surprised as Joan was , Liza initially thought that she would only deal with Sarah . In fact , she had to face the man she had kicked out of her life .

    If only Liza knew that the person who took care of this coboration was Joan, she would have rejected this offer from the start. All she can do now is stay silent as well as Joan, who is the same server as Liza.

    ¡± Mr. Joan , Dafa manager please have a seat ! ¡± Reno ordered which the two bachelors did immediately .

    Dafa started to sit down beside Reno , while Joan sat opposite Liza . Joan looked at Liza with an inexplicable look she just kept her eyes locked on the woman without paying attention to Reno who had started chirping about her cooperation contract .

    Dafa handed Reno a piece of paper containing the terms of the contract.

    ¡± This contract has stated that the artist mustplete his duties until theunch of the ne is held , before that party A or the agency can not ept advertising offers from any party ¡± said Dafa exining the contents of the first article .

    ¡°The second article exins that party A must have contact with party B, party A is obliged to provide his contact to party B so that it is easy tomunicate¡±

    ¡°The third article exins that party A must be professional and muste on time when Party B needs it, party B will not tolerate if party A makes the slightest mistake¡±.

    ¡°The fourth article states that if party A vites the three articles, then party A mustpensate three times the amount paid to party A,¡± said Dafa, exining the four articles carefully.

    ¡± How is it Mr. Reno , do you object to all these rules ? ¡± Joan asked to which Reno shook his head .

    ¡± Absolutely not sir , I agree with all the contents of this article . Can I sign this contract right now ? ¡± Reno asked who had been holding a pen to sign the paper .

    ¡°Please sir Reno¡± said Dafa which immediately made Reno quickly put his signature along with his fingerprint.

    Liza just looked at her boss with a look full of disappointment, how else can she agree to do this contract, it¡¯s impossible if she has to cancel it unterally.

    Joan continued to stare at Liza. Liza chose to focus on staring at the contract in front of her and ignored the man who had forcibly snatched her honor.

    ¡°Li please write your number, we will definitely be in touch often after this,¡± Joan handed her cell phone to Liza.

    Liza took the cellphonezily, she wrote the number on the annoying man¡¯s cellphone.

 10. Joan Vs Dilan

    Liza POV

    I opened my eyes which still felt heavy, tonight I did filming untilte at night so I only had about 1 hour of sleep.

    I was still reluctant to stand up from my sleeping position. I closed my eyes again which felt very sticky like they had been glued, but a call from one of the staff made me inevitably have to open my eyes again by force.

    I stood up from the folding chair , I started to do some stretching so that my body felt a little fresher .

    After my body started to feel fresher, now I turned to look at Kak Nia, who is a fashion stylist who has the task of determining every concept of clothing that I should wear in every shooting scene.

    ¡± Did the shooting speed up again Bro ? ¡± I asked Nia ¡®s Broter .

    Bro Ani nodded ¡°Yes but don¡¯t worry Li the director will give you 1 hour for breakfast¡±

    ¡°You¡¯d better change your clothes now Li, so that after that you can have breakfast¡± said Sis Nia, I could only nod at every word Sis Nia said.

    Now I¡¯m starting to follow the footsteps of Nia¡¯s Broter who has rushed to the fashion room.

    After arriving in the room , Kak Nia immediately gave me a ck and white dress from the Balmain brand which cost 26 million .

    In ordance with the role of my character in the drama who is a child of the richest mafia in the world, so I am obliged to always wear branded clothes at fantastic prices in every scene to animate the character.

    I started to take the dress from Nia¡¯s Broter¡¯s hands, now I rushed to the dressing room which was adjacent to the fashion room.

    I saw my reflection in the mirror , it fits perfectly with the dress .

    ¡°How beautiful¡± I mumbled to myself.

    ¡°You¡¯ve been beautiful since birth,¡± said someone from behind me.

    I immediately shouted with joy when I saw the figure of the man who had just arrived .

    The man approached me with a bouquet of my favorite roses.

    I immediately hugged the man, releasing the longing that has haunted me for days. We rarely see each other because we are busy with our respective jobs. Dn, who is busy working on histest solo album, makes him rarely visit me on set.

    A tall man with a difference of 11 cm taller than me made me have to tiptoe a little to align our bodies .

    Dn bent slightly so that it was easier for me to hug him. The man began to tighten his embrace even more.

    ¡± Ekhem , ekhem , EKKKHEEEMMM ¡± the voice of the toa immediately made Dn and I let go of our embrace suddenly .

    We both turned to look at the source of the voice at the same time , I was shocked when I saw the man who had just arrived was Joan .

    I don¡¯t remember at all if Joan woulde this morning.

    Joan looked at Dn with a gaze that no one could interpret, the man then smiled at Dn.

    Joan stretched out her hand towards Dn ¡°I¡¯m Joan Arkan Rivenno, CEO of PT. IT Rivenno Group. I¡¯m Liza¡¯s business partner¡± said Joan introducing herself.

    I was so relieved that Joan didn¡¯t say that we were set up. What made me even more relieved was that the man didn¡¯t tell me about anything that happened that night.

    Dn quickly returned Joan ¡®s outstretched hand , but there was something odd when their hands shook .

    Dn did not express himself, only showed a smile to Joan, he knew that Joan was not his match.

    ¡°Nice to meet you, Mr. Joan, introduce me to Dn Alexi¡± Dn greeted with a friendly smile.

    Joan smiled faintly without replying to Dn¡¯s words, this time turning to look at me.

    Joan handed me a gift.

    I have not taken the parcel from his hand , I just frowned at him .

    ¡± This is a slimming medicine for you , just take it as my gratitude because you are willing to cooperate ¡± Joan exined , I quickly took the parcel from her hand .

    Joan smiled with satisfaction as she winked at me, Dn who witnessed this just looked at me with a question mark.

    ¡± You must not have eaten right ? ¡± I asked trying to distract both of them .

    ¡± Not yet ¡± replied Dn and Joan simultaneously .

    ¡± What if the three of us eat together ? ¡± I asked which immediately made Dn look at me sharply , maybe he does not like it if I invite other men to eat together .

    I don¡¯t care about Dn, I focus more on looking at Joan. Honestly, I don¡¯t want Joan to feel jealous of Dn, not because I have feelings for Joan, I just don¡¯t want Joan to disturb Dn¡¯s life just because of me.

    ¡± How are you , do you want to eat together ? ¡± I asked reassuringly Joan .

    Joan nodded excitedly ¡°Of course Li, I haven¡¯t had breakfast this morning.¡±All content is property ? N?velDrama.Org.

    I smiled satisfied hearing Joan ¡®s answer , now I turned to look at Dn who was still wearing a t expression .

    Dn looked at me with an annoyed look , I rarely see Dn being this possessive .

    I looked at Dn trying to convince him to join us for a meal , but to no avail , the man was still giggling with his stance .

    ¡± Dn , if you don¡¯t want toe , it ¡®s okay , howe I can just go alone with Liza ? ¡± Joan threatened that Dn ¡®s defense suddenly copsed .

    ¡°Who said I didn¡¯t want toe? Let¡¯s go now. The worms in my stomach have been hungry for a long time.¡± Dn replied angrily, he quickly rushed out of the room ahead of me and Joan.

    I ran to Dn followed by Joan who continued to follow my every step. It seemed that the man didn¡¯t want me to be close to Dn.

    It only took about 2 minutes, now we have arrived at the special car parking space.

    ¡± Just use my car , ¡± said Joan which again made Dn look at the man with a sharp gaze .

    I just nodded, now I¡¯m following in the footsteps of Joan who started walking to the ce where he parked his car, followed by Dn who was walkingzily behind me.

    Joan started to enter his luxury car, at first he asked me to sit beside him next to the driver¡¯s seat, but I refused, fortunately Dn was sensitive and wanted to take my ce to sit in front.

    Joan started driving her car to a restaurant not far from my shooting location, during the trip there was no chat, the three of us were busy with our respective activities.

 11. Pregnant

    The three of them had started to enter one of the VIP rooms in a luxurious restaurant.

    Joan deliberately booked a private special room so that her mealtime would not be disturbed by the fanatical fans who always follow Dn and Liza¡¯s every move.

    The three of them began to eat each dish of food that had just been delivered by the restaurant¡¯s waiters.

    ¡± How long have you two been dating ? ¡± Joan asked breaking the silence .

    Liza was shocked as well as Dn, they did not expect that Joan already knew about her secret rtionship that no one knew about.

    Joan just smiled seeing the expression of the couple who had been caught.

    Joan stopped her eating activities for a moment while chuckling ¡°Just rx, I also won¡¯t tell the public. I¡¯m too busy to interfere with your love affairs.¡± Joan devoured her food again.N?velDrama.Org owns this text.

    Liza could only smile slightly in response to Joan ¡®s words , she was reluctant to answer the man ¡®s question . Liza chose to focus on her eating activities devouring all the menus she really wanted fromst night .

    Liza felt something strange, her stomach felt nauseous all this time. The woman only suspected that her stomach ulcer was rpsing because she didn¡¯t eat anything except drinking mineral waterst night.

    Joan saw that there was something wrong with Liza , the woman continued to hold her stomach as if in pain .

    ¡± What ¡®s wrong Li , does your stomach hurt ? ¡± Joan asked worriedly .

    Dn who was drinking his juice immediately turned to Liza who was beside him.

    ¡± Did Lo ¡®s stomach ulcer rpse again , Li ? ¡± Dn asked , the man started to hold Liza ¡®s shoulder .

    Liza just nodded, her stomach hurt even more, it felt like she wanted to get all the food back from her stomach.

    Liza started to stand up with the help of Dn

    ¡± I want to go to the toilet and ¡± Liza said to Dn .

    ¡± Li can you do it yourself ? ¡± Joan asked to make sure she was strong enough to walk to the toilet alone .

    Liza nodded reassuringly, she started walking towards the toilet with a stagger.

    The two men didn¡¯t take their eyes off Liza, they continued to stare at the woman¡¯s every step. Actually they didn¡¯t have the heart to let Liza go alone, but what can they do, they are a man and it¡¯s impossible for them to enter the women¡¯s restroom, the masses might get angry because of them.  considered obscene.

    Bruck¡­.

    Liza¡¯s body fell to the floor, Joan and Dn quickly approached the woman who was a few steps away from the dining area.

    ¡± Li ¡± Joan tried to wake up Liza who had lost consciousness .

    ¡± Better take her to the hospital now ¡± said Dn , the man swiftly carried Liza on hisp in a bridal style .

    ¡°I¡¯ll prepare the car first, you just wait in the lobby¡± Joan said she quickly ran to the parking lot to get her car.

    After picking up the car , Joan immediately helped Dn to put Liza into the car .

    The man immediately stepped on the gas to the hospital closest to the restaurant. Joan elerated his car regardless of traffic rules, after all if he was arrested the police would not have any impact because he has all the connections in this country that make him unable to be suppressed by the police.  anybody.

    It didn¡¯t take long, now they were in front of the hospital lobby.

    One of the doctors and the three nurses started to go out to pick up Liza, who had been registered as a VIP patient by Joan.

    The hospital they were visiting was one of the Rivennos¡¯ hospitals. It was only natural that they would immediately pay their respects to Joan and treat Liza very well.

    Joan and Dn were sitting in the waiting chair waiting for the doctor who was treating Liza in the emergency room.

    There was no conversation between Dn and Joan they both only focused on thinking about the condition of the woman who was in the room.

    Joan immediately stood up from her seat when the doctor came out of the room.

    ¡°How¡¯s the doc¡¯s condition?¡±  Ask Joan .

    The doctor just smiled , his expression was very calm and not tense which made Joan and Dn finally breathe easy .

    ¡± Miss Liza justcks rest , besides that pregnant women who have just entered the first trimester must eat regrly , should not leave the stomach empty because it is not very good for the growth and development of the fetus ¡± exined the doctor .

    ¡°Pregnant doc?¡±  Dn asked with a question mark. He had never even touched his girlfriend in the slightest. How could that woman be pregnant, could she be having an affair with another man?  Dn¡¯s mind began to be haunted by all the worst predictions.

    Joan leaned her body back until it touched the wall, she squatted down while sinking her head into her thigh as a support.

    ¡± The baby is my son , my flesh and blood ¡± Joan muttered to herself , Dn turned to Joan when Joan said those words .

    The man immediately clenched his fists tightly , now he turned to Joan . Dn immediately pulled Joan ¡®s coat cor .

    Dn pulled Joan¡¯s cor even more tightly which made the man suffocate in pain.

    ¡± Is this all Lo Joan ¡®s doing ? ¡± Dn asked with his devil eyes .

    Joan just nodded he couldn¡¯t speak because his neck was strangled, Dn tried his best to contain his anger this time he let go of Joan¡¯s cor which made the man finally breathe a sigh of relief.

    Dn ¡®s eyes started to tear up , as did Joan , who was both happy and sad because she was about to get a baby from a woman who did not love her .

    ¡°Let go of Liza, I will soon marry her¡± Joan said with a pleading look.

    Dn smiled sarcastically ¡°I can¡¯t Liza is mine, we promised to marry after my illness was sessfully cured¡±

    Joan started to sob ¡± Liza is currently pregnant with a baby . Are you going to tell her to abort the baby ? ¡± Joan asked which sounded like a scream .

    Dn seemed to think for a moment, this time he opened his mouth confidently ¡°I know what kind of person Liza is, she can¡¯t possibly keep two guys in her heart. And I¡¯m sure the baby was just a mistake¡±

    ¡± Do you think Liza can like you just because she is pregnant with Lo Joan ¡®s baby ? ¡± asked Dn who immediately got a smack from Joan ¡®s strong hand .

    ¡°I will defend the baby and I hope you don¡¯t interfere in Liza¡¯s life. Because if you do that, you will die by my hands Dn Alexi¡± Joan threatened the man walked away into the room leaving Dn still sitting in pain because the corners of his lips were torn from the impact.  a punch from Joan.

 12. Sorry

    Joan looked at Liza who was still lying limp in the hospital bed, she really couldn¡¯t understand what she had done to that woman.

    Joan looked at Liza¡¯s stomach which looked still t, she began to stroke her stomach very gently.

    ¡± Daddy will defend you son ¡± Joan mumbled to talk to the baby in Liza ¡®s womb .

    Tears just rolled down the man¡¯s cheeks, this is the first time Joan has felt such great happiness. She really likes small children, she even thought about adopting a child from an orphanage.

    However , her parents strictly forbade Joan ¡®s wish because of Joan ¡®s unmarried status . As a result , Joan had to bury her desire deeply .

    ¡± Mr. Joan ¡± Called doctor Ririn who had just entered the room .

    Doctor Ririn is one of the personal doctors of the Rivenno family. The doctor is highly trusted by Joan¡¯s parents to check the health of their family members every month.

    Joan turned towards the source of the voice, the man wiped the tears that rolled down his cheeks. Doctor Ririn looked at Joan in surprise, the doctor in his 40s could guess that the woman who was lying down was Joan¡¯s lover and the baby she was carrying was Joan¡¯s flesh and blood.

    ¡± This woman is pregnant with my baby , how many days is she pregnant ? ¡± Joan asked Ririn ¡®s doctor .

    ¡°The age of the womb has stepped on 3 weeks sir¡± answered Doctor Ririn gently.

    It turned out that Joan ¡®s suspicions were true , the baby Liza was carrying was the result of the rtionship he had forcibly abused the woman a month ago .

    ¡°Should I do an ultrasound to be sure sir?¡±

    Joan shook her head quickly ¡°No need doc, I just want the doctor to provide the best care for my future wife and baby!¡± Joan ordered Ririn¡¯s doctor.

    Doctor Ririn smiled, happy because a baby will participate in enlivening the Rivenno family¡¯s mansion, which doesn¡¯t have a grandson at all.

    ¡°Okay sir, I will give the best treatment in this hospital to Miss Liza and your baby-to-be.¡± Doctor Ririn bowed his body 90 degrees. After that he immediately stepped out of the room leaving Joan who was still faithfully waiting for Liza who was still unconscious  .

    Joan refocused on Liza , he began to kiss her forehead repeatedly .

    ¡± I will make you the happiest woman Li ¡± Joan muttered as she continued to kiss Liza ¡®s forehead .

    Joan started to stop her activities for fear of disturbing the woman, this time she switched to taking her cellphone from her jacket pocket.

    He started ying with his cellphone sending a message that he would not be in the office today to the Assistant and his manager.

    After finishing with her activities, now Joan stepped out of the room to the administration room.

    Joan takes care of the cost of care, room, along with medicines and vitamins for pregnant women, which are paid using her ck card or unlimited card.

    Joan immediately returned to the room where Liza was being treated after finishing her business in the administration room.

    Joan smiled happily when she saw the woman had woken up , Joan quickly approached Liza who still looked confused .

    ¡± Where is Dn ? ¡± Liza asked when Joan had just approached her .

    Joan ¡®s expression immediately turned somber , why did the woman continue to care about Dn .

    ¡°He¡¯s home¡± Joan answered honestly, it was true that Dn hade home after he hit her hard.

    Liza just wrinkled her forehead in disbelief at the words of the man in front of her.

    ¡± Dn came home after finding out you were pregnant ¡± Joan said awkwardly, she tried to tell the woman every truth.

    Liza rolled her eyes in disbelief at all of Joan¡¯s words ¡°Pregnant? I can¡¯t be pregnant¡±

    Liza was crying hysterically she was hitting Joan¡¯s chest very hard. Joan was just silent without a fight, she really deserved to be rewarded for her actions.

    ¡°You¡¯re lying, right, I can¡¯t be pregnant sob¡­ sob¡­ sob..¡± Liza kept sobbing as she continued torturing Joan.

    Joan tried to lock Liza¡¯s hands and quickly hugged her.

    ¡± I ¡®m sorry li , I did not expect the problem to be thisplicated ¡± whispered Joan in Liza ¡®s ear , the woman was trying to push Joan ¡®s stout body away from her .

    ¡°I¡¯m sorry you didn¡¯t change anything, this baby is already in my womb. What should I do now sob¡­. sob¡­¡± Liza¡¯s cries grew louder, Joan didn¡¯t know what to do to calm the woman who was pregnant with her flesh and blood.  that .

    ¡± I will marry you , I will be responsible for you and our baby ¡± said Joan while gently stroking Liza ¡®s stomach .

    que¡­..

    A pnded smoothly on Joan¡¯s left cheek.  The man could only hold his cheek which felt very sore .

    ¡± I will immediately abort this baby , I do not want to marry you ¡± Liza threatened which immediately challenged Joan .

    ***

    Joan looked at the woman with a look full of anger, her heart felt like it was being stabbed by a dagger after hearing Liza¡¯s words that she wanted to abort the innocent baby.

    ¡± The baby is innocent Li , please let him be born into the world . I will take care of the baby myself if you do not want ¡± said Joan firmly .

    Liza shook her head ¡°No, I don¡¯t want this baby to destroy my future. I don¡¯t want the career that I have worked so hard to destroy because of his presence in the world.

    ¡± Li please , just carry out your role as the one who conceived and gave birth to her . After that just leave everything to me ¡± Joan ¡®s eyes were teary .

    ¡± Sorry I can not , I will immediately abort this baby , you better get out of here quickly ! Liza orders , the woman tried hard to push Joan ¡®s body out of the room .

    Joan could only relent , she could only obey Liza ¡®s orders to get out of the room .

    After leaving the room, Joan quickly called Doctor Ririn and asked him to keep Liza in this hospital.

    He was only afraid that Liza would do something reckless after leaving this ce .

    After leaving Liza to doctor Ririn , now Joan immediately steps on the gas and goes to the Dafa manager to ask for his help .

    Joan hastened her way into thepany she is headed. She did not pay attention to the greetings of every employee who was passing by.

    ¡± Good afternoon sir ¡± said Aileen ¡®s assistant when Joan started to enter her room .

    ¡± Where is Dafa ? ¡± Joan asked breathlessly .

    ¡°Dafa¡¯s manager is in the cafeteria, sir,¡± said Aileen.

    Joan patted her forehead, she really didn¡¯t remember that it was lunch time.  All employees including Dafa must have been in the canteen.

    Joan thought for a moment, it seems that she can¡¯t rely on Dafa to help her at this time. Joan turned to look at Aileen who seemed to be typing something on herputer screen.

    ¡°Leen, I need your help¡± said Joan, stopping Aileen¡¯s activities.

    Aileen turned to her boss ¡°What help, sir?¡±

    ¡± Please spread to all reporters that I will marry an actress named Liza Nathalia Hope. Tell them also that Liza is pregnant with my baby ¡±

    Aileen covered her mouth with her hands , she could not believe her boss ¡®s words .

    Aileen chuckled ¡°You¡¯re not joking, are you?¡±

    Joan shook her head with a t expression ¡°I¡¯m serious, just do what I tell you!¡± Joan ordered very firmly.

    Seeing the serious expression on Joan ¡®s face , Aileen finally started to believe her boss ¡®s words .N?velDrama.Org owns this.

    ¡°Okay sir, I will immediately tell all the reporters, to expose the news about your father¡¯s marriage¡± Aileen said as she bowed her body.

    Joan nodded slightly, now she started to leave Aileen alone and immediately turned to her desk to do something.

    Joan opened herputer, she started sending an email to someone who was in America.

    The email was addressed to Liam Maverick Hope, who is none other than Liza¡¯s father. The contents of the email were written about Joan¡¯s confession of what he had done to Liam¡¯s only daughter. Not only that, Joan also wrote that he would marry Liza as soon as he got Liam¡¯s approval.  .

    Joan was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief after sending the email, Liam who served as president was indeed very difficult to contact if only by personal phone.  That¡¯s why Joan prefers to send it via email so that her secretary can read it.

    Joan started to stand up from her seat, now all she wanted to do was tell her parents about her wedding ns.

    Joan stepped out of thepany, she stepped on the gas again and headed to the Mansion where her parents lived.

    Along the way, Joan¡¯s mind was only filled with guilt for what she had done to Liza. She really wanted to curse herself for her heinous behavior.

    Joan ¡®s tears began to fall so that the man had to stop the car for a while so that nothing untoward happened .

    Joan burst into tears in the Ferrari. Joan repeatedly beat the steering wheel with her fists.

    Joan¡¯s mind is haunted by the rejection that the woman will do, Joan must strengthen her mind and heart to have the womanpletely.

    Getting married with someone who doesn¡¯t love us is not an easy thing, even though Joan has a lot of money and assets, but all these things can¡¯t change a feeling called love.

 13. Joanéˆ¥æªš confession

    Joan began to climb every step of the stairs to Ansel¡¯s office. Joan¡¯s sudden arrival made all the maids and bodyguards who were in the house greeted her with respect.

    Joan¡¯s disheveled appearance coupled with puffy eyes raised many questions from some of the people who worked at home.

    ¡± Mr. Joan why not , he does not usuallye with such a random appearance . In fact , he usually always looks neat and his top is always beautifully styled like a prince in a kingdom ¡± whispered the maid named Tia to the other maids .

    ¡°Yes, his good looks today have decreased by 1 level¡± replied E, a waitress who was known as a huddler.

    ¡± It ¡®s already you two , stop talking about young master ! ¡± snapped a middle ¨C aged woman who was the butler , the woman named Rina had devoted herself to working with the Rivenno family for 30 years . Rina was a confidant of Joan ¡®ste grandfather .

    Joan looked cynically at Tia and E, a gossip that was said by the troublemakers¡¯ maids made her mood worse. Too bad she didn¡¯t have the strength to scold the two women.

    Joan turned her gaze towards Rina. The woman was like a grandmother to Joan. Since childhood, Joan and Sarah were always abandoned by their parents who were busy working abroad, Rina was the one who took care of them until they were teenagers.

    ¡± Grandma , do you have a workspace ? ¡± Joan asked with a face without passion .

    ¡°Yes, Ar, papa and mama, you are in the work room,¡± Rina replied with a small nod. Rina always called Joan by the name Arkan because Joan¡¯s nickname as a child was Arkan. It¡¯s just that when Joan started working at thepany her nickname was changed from Arkan to Joan.

    ¡°Well, Joan, meet them first, Grandma,¡± said Joan with a faint smile that graced his handsome face.

    Joan stepped back, leaving Rina and the other maids.

    Joan¡¯s body immediately shook very strongly when she was in the doorway of Ansel¡¯s study.  In the room, Ansel and Auris were already sitting, discussing something very seriously.

    The middle-aged man and woman looked at Joan at the same time. Auris smiled happily as she hugged her son.

    ¡°Oh my gosh, honey, why didn¡¯t you tell me that you wanted toe here. If only mom knew you woulde here today, mommy would have cooked your favorite food,¡± said Auris while stroking Joan¡¯s hair.

    Joan just stood there with her nk stare.

    ¡± Mah , I ¡®m sorry Joan ¡± said Joan quietly , the man started to sit down on the floor .

    ¡± What are you doing , stand up right now ! ¡±  Ansel snapped when he saw his son who was sitting in front of him. Joan¡¯s position was like someone who was prostrating in front of his parents.

    ¡°I¡¯m sorry Joan pah, mah. Sob ¡­ sob ¡­ sob¡­.¡± Joan said apanied by sobs.

    This is the first time Ansel has seen his son cry, he doesn¡¯t know what has happened to his youngest child.

    Ansel started to wake Joan¡¯s body so that it was parallel to hers.

    ¡°What wrong have you done?¡± Ansel asked with a calm expression.

    ¡± Yes dear , what is going on with you ? You are not usually like this ? ¡± added Auris who was as curious as Ansel .

    Joan was silent, she kept her head down, not daring to look at the faces of her parents.

    ¡± Joan tell me quickly what is going on ! ¡± Ansel snapped .

    Joan began to lift her face slowly , however she had to take responsibility for her actions even though she had to get angry from her parents .

    ¡°I¡¯m pregnant with a woman, sir.¡± Joan stammered. Ansel immediately gripped Joan¡¯s jaw firmly.

    ¡± WHICH WOMAN ARE YOU PREGNANT ? Ansel asked emphasizing every word he said .

    ¡± Liza pah mah , the woman who previously refused to marry me ¡± replied Joan .

    Prak¡­.

    A ss flower vase fell to the floor after being thrown by Ansel at Joan¡¯s head.

    Joan grimaced in pain , her hands groped to every corner of her face that was sore from the scratched ss .

    ¡± How can you do something lowly like that , moreover the person you are pregnant with is the daughter of a famous family . Where do you want to keep papah ¡®s face , HAH ? ¡± Ansel said while raising his voice at thest word .N?vel(D)rama.Org''s content.

    ¡°Come on, don¡¯t worry about it anymore, after all, Liza is also the daughter of a good family. We already know the weight of the seeds, right, sir, anyways, let it happen, the rice has turned into porridge. After all, Liza is also pregnant with the grandson of this family, bro.  , what we have to do now is to marry Joan to Liza ¡± said Auris calming her husband .

    Ansel looked thoughtful for a moment , what his wife said really made sense .  Thepany¡¯s stock will definitely explode if it¡¯sbined with the Hope family¡¯s stock.

    ¡°Okay papa agrees with your mama, just do your wedding this Sunday. n this wedding very carefully, papa doesn¡¯t want anything to go wrong¡± said Ansel which made Joan smile.  his struggle to admit this turned out to be fruitful which made him very satisfied .

    ¡± Thank you very much , Joan promises to do the best . ¡± Joan said quietly , she quickly hugged Ansel with joy .

    Auris alsoughed happily seeing Joan¡¯s expression, which previously looked very gloomy, turned 90 degrees into a very cheerful one.

    ¡± Also do your responsibilities as a husband as well as a father for your future baby ¡± said Ansel as he let go of Joan ¡®s arms .

    Joan could only nod her head slowly , she was really embarrassed at this moment . Her tears fell without her realizing it because of the unstoppable joy .

    ¡± But papa has one condition ¡± Ansel pointed his index finger at Joan .

    Joan wrinkled her forehead with a very tense expression ¡°What conditions pah?¡±

    ¡± Your 50 percent share will be poor for two with the prospective grandson ¡± said Ansel which did not surprise or refuse Joan at all .

    Joan just smiled ¡± Without father giving conditions too , Joan will definitely do that.

    Joan said very confidently in front of her papa and mama, Ansel and Auris could only shake their heads at their son¡¯s behavior. Both of them realized that Joan had always wanted a child.

 14. Protect You

    Liza rolled her eyes when she saw the news she had just seen on the television screen in the VIP room where she is currently being treated.

    ¡± You crazy man ¡± Liza cursed .

    Liza turned to one of the women who was a bodyguard sent by Joan to keep her from escaping from this hospital.

    ¡± Where is your insane boss ? ¡± Liza asked curtly to one of the bodyguards who was standing watching Liza ¡®s every move .

    The bodyguard didn¡¯t answer Liza¡¯s question, the woman who wore all ck didn¡¯t care about all the questions or every chatter said by Liza.  The four bodyguards were only assigned to focus on observing the client ¡®s every move .

    ¡°Can¡¯t you all talk?¡±  Liza shouted to the four women.N?velDrama.Org owns this.

    Liza started to ruffle her hair. Frustrated because she didn¡¯t get any answer, she couldn¡¯t even leave the room. Even her cellphone had been confiscated by them so that Liza couldn¡¯t ask anyone for help.

    ¡± Just watch if I leave this room , I will report all of you to my father ¡± Liza threatened as she pointed at the bodyguards one by one .

    ¡± Who do you want to report to Li ? Uncle Liam has agreed to our marriage ¡± said someone who had just entered the room .

    Liza looked cynically at the figure of the man who was in the doorway, seeing Joan¡¯s very happy expression, she could be sure if all of Joan¡¯s rotten ns, including marrying her, went smoothly.

    Joan walked over to Liza who was still silent on the treatment bed , Liza ¡®s hand was still attached to the IV tube because her condition had not fully recovered .

    ¡± Pregnant people are really sensitive , ¡± Joan whispered as she brought her face closer to Liza ¡®s face .

    Liza was silent and didn¡¯t say a word, Joan started to get confused because the woman in front of her kept ignoring her.

    Now Joan began to take out an envelope that was in the nightstand of the room.

    Joan quickly opened the envelope and gave Liza a screenshot of their baby¡¯s ultrasound.

    ¡± What ¡®s wrong with this baby ? ¡± Joan asked in a low voice .

    Liza looked back at Joan with a gaze that no one could interpret. The woman couldn¡¯t say a word to express her frustration with Joan.

    ¡± Why are you silent Li ? ¡± Joan asked again , the man began to bring the photo closer to Liza ¡®s eyes .

    ¡± Watch carefully Li , are you going to stick to your stance huh ? ¡± Joan snapped which made Liza burst into tears .

    ¡°Enough bro!!! sob¡­. sob¡­.¡± Liza¡¯s scream echoed in the room, the four bodyguards who were still monitoring in the room nced at Liza and Joan.

    Joan turned her gaze towards the four women she ordered ¡± Come out , I ¡®ll call youter !!! ¡± Joan ordered which the four tough women immediately obeyed .

    Joan refocused her attention on Liza. The man was silent for a moment, letting Liza let out all her annoyance.

    Liza roughly wiped the tears that ran down her cheeks ¡± Everything you said was true bro , this baby did not do anything wrong ¡± said Liza while pointing at her stomach .

    Liza shook her head slowly ¡°But I also don¡¯t want you to give birth to a baby from the mistakes you have made¡±

    Joan froze hearing the answer from the woman, the answer Liza said really made her anger just want to explode.

    ¡± WHY LI , DO YOU THINK ALL ILLUMINATE BABIES ARE NOT ALLOWED TO BE BORN INTO THIS WORLD ? Joan asked in a very high tone .

    ¡± Li when I decided to take responsibility for you and the baby , that¡¯s when I also intended to turn the baby you consider illegitimate into a hl baby ¡± Joan continued making Liza ¡®s defenses crumble .

    Joan didn¡¯t stop pressing Liza, this time she showed a cellphone screen that contained all the popr news that became the number one trend on various google search sites and all other social media. Of course all the news was about Liza¡¯s marriage and her pregnancy.

    Liza looked at Joan with a deadly stare, if he wasn¡¯t being given an IV, he might have scratched the man¡¯s face all the way.

    ¡± Your career has been ruined Li , are you still joking against this marriage ? ¡± Joan asked again .

    Liza shook her head ¡± No , I still have Dn and his family .

    Once again Dn became the Alibi of Liza ¡®s rejection . Joan could only exhale harshly , holding back all the anxiety that she had gotten since meeting Liza .

    ¡± Sorry Li , it seems I can not handle you . But I will ask Aunt Zea to persuade you . Better prepare yourself because in one week our wedding will be held , even if you refuse no matter how hard ¡± said Joan with a t expression .

    ***

    Zea smiled when she saw Liza who was seen talking to Joan.

    Joan waved her hand towards Zea who stopped in the doorway of Liza¡¯s room.

    ¡± Hello Auntie , it ¡®s been a long time since we met , ¡± Joan greeted while shaking Zea ¡®s hand when the model ¨C shaped woman stood beside her .

    Zea smiled showing a row of white teeth ¡± Congrattions Joan you will soon be a father ¡± Zea lightly patted Joan on the shoulder .

    Joan smiled awkwardly ¡± Auntie will soon be a grandmother ¡± Joan kidding .

    Zea chuckled as he patted Joan¡¯s shoulder again. Now Zea turned to look at her daughter who had been lowering her head.

    Zea lifted Liza¡¯s face to want to look at her. ¡°Li stop crying, you should be happy, dear, soon you will have a baby, right, Joan?¡±

    Joan nodded ¡± Yes Li you should rejoice not grieve like that ¡± added Joan who immediately got a cynical look from Liza .

    Zea started to wipe the tears that rolled down her son¡¯s cheeks ¡± It¡¯s okay to cry, poor granddaughter mamah will not be stressed again ¡± Zea turned to rub Liza¡¯s stomach which still looks t.

    Liza turned to her mother ¡°Mah, Liza doesn¡¯t want to marry Joan¡± Liza asked in a pleading tone.

    Zea shook her head slowly ¡± I can not honey , you have to obey all of this for the good of us together ¡± said Zea while stroking Liza ¡®s long hair that fell beautifully .

    Liza was silent, she turned to look at Joan ¡°bro, pleasee out first, there¡¯s something important I want to talk to mom about¡±

    Joan responded to Liza with her trademark smile ¡± Alright I ¡®m going out first , Tan ¡± said goodbye to Joan before leaving the room .

    ¡°Yes, Joan, auntie, we will talk for a while because there are still many things that you have to finish at thepany¡±

    Joan began to walk out leaving the pair of mother and daughter.

    Zea and Liza looked at Joan¡¯s back which had started to disappear from her sight, Zea immediately closed the door of the room so no one would eavesdrop on their conversation.

    After closing the door tightly , Zea returned to her daughter who was still lying on the bed .

    que¡­.. a pnded smoothly on Liza¡¯s thin cheek which made the woman wince in pain.

    ¡± Are you crazy huh , Joan has clearly taken your future . What are you hoping for now , do you still hope to continue your career as an actress ? ¡± Zea snapped which made Liza ¡®s body tremble with fear .

    Liza is used to getting rough treatment from the woman who gave birth to her. Even when she was 8 years old, she already got several bruises and wounds on her body due to the violence that Liam and Zea had done to her.

    Liza again shed tears her lips trembled in fear ¡°Ma.. Afin ¡­ Lizaa mah¡­¡± Liza said stuttering.

    Zea ignores the words of her only child , the most important thing for her now is to force Liza to marry Joan in any way .

    Zea ¡®s patience had run out , now her hands turned to slowly strangle Liza .

    ¡± Do you still want to reject it huh , you should know Li what your papa will do with mama if you refuse this matchmaking ¡± Zea strengthens her choking which makes Liza sick and hard to breathe .

    ¡± ENOUGH Aunty ! ¡± shouted someone who had just entered suddenly .

    Zea nced behind her at the source of the voice. The woman rolled her eyes to see the figure who had just entered the room was her future daughter-inw, Joan.

    Joan walked over to Liza who seemed to be having a hard time breathing even though Zea ¡®s grip had left her neck .

    Joan held Liza ¡®s body which was now in a very weak condition , the woman ¡®s breath was panting .

    Joan pressed the emergency button in the room, it didn¡¯t take long for a doctor and nurses to start treating Liza.

    Joan and Zea started to leave the room when the doctor ordered them to just wait outside.

    Joan and Zea began to sit down on the waiting chair in front of the room. Joan looked at her future inws with annoyance.

    ¡± Are you satisfied that you continue to abuse Liza ? ¡± Joan raised her voice slightly .

    Zea was just silent, ignoring Joan¡¯s question. The woman was silent as she stared straight ahead, ignoring Joan who was sitting beside her.

    Without Zea and Liza realizing that since Joan left the two of them in the room, it turns out that at that time Joan went to the CCTV room to see all of Zea¡¯s treatment of Liza. But before that Joan also put a sound-tapping device into Zea¡¯s bag when the woman tapped Joan¡¯s shoulder.

    Joan immediately ran a marathon from the CCTV room to Liza¡¯s treatment room, which was quite far away.

    The man was really scared to see Liza who was out of breath . He did not know what would have happened to the poor girl if Joan had entered the roomte .

    Joan rubbed her face angrily , when she started to stand up from her sitting position and started walking back and forth in front of the door .

    Joan¡¯s gaze immediately focused on the doctor who had just left the room.

    ¡± How doc ? ¡± Joan asked filled with anxiety .

    ¡± The patient ¡®s condition is still weak , Mr. Joan has not been able to take him home today ¡± said the doctor quietly .

    Hearing the exnation from the doctor , Joan threw her annoyed look at Zea who was still sitting rxed without the slightest guilt .

    ¡± Can the patient be visited by the doc ? ¡± Joan asked turning her gaze back .

    The doctor smiled and nodded ¡°Yes, as long as you don¡¯t stress the patient too much because it will make his condition worse.¡±

    ¡± Ok doc ¡± Joan smiled as she left the doctor and Zea who were still silent outside the room .

    Joan started to enter the room, she saw Liza was lying with her back to her. The woman just stared nkly out the window.

    ¡± Are you okay Li , does it really hurt Li ? ¡± Joan said as she hugged Liza ¡®s body from behind .

    Liza is still faithfully silent, her eyes are very empty. Her mind is currently somewhere.

    ¡°Don¡¯t worry Li, I¡¯ll protect you from anyone even if he¡¯s the one who gave birth to you. If they dare to touch you even if it¡¯s just a hair, I¡¯ll make them regret for the rest of their life¡± Joan whispered which Liza could still hear.

    Liza woke up from her daydream quickly she turned her body to face Joan.

    The woman ¡®s face was very swollen plus her neck was red from the hard grip of Zea ¡®s fingers .

    Joan rubbed Liza¡¯s face very gently, the man wiped every tear that fell down Liza¡¯s cheek.

    ¡± bro Joan ¡± Liza called softly .

    ¡± Please take me away from this ce , I do not want to see mom or dad ¡± Liza asked quietly .

    Joan looked at the woman very deeply , so her eyes met the beautiful eyes of Liza .

    ¡°Don¡¯t worry Li, without you even asking I will take you from here as soon as possible¡±

    Liza smiled sadly at Joan¡¯s words, she believed that Joan could protect her from the torture of her parents. In her eyes, Joan was the only person she could trust, protecting her from any harm.

    ¡± I want to marry my broter , I want to give birth to this baby ¡± Liza started holding her stomach with a very serious facial expression .

    Joan rolled her eyes in disbelief with all that the woman said ¡°Are you serious about all that you said Li?¡±

    Liza nodded with a faint smile ¡°Yes, bro, I will entrust my life and the life of my son to you¡±

    Joan couldn¡¯t contain her happiness, her tears just dripped, her body reflexively pulled Liza into her arms.

    ¡°Thank you Li, I promise to make you both happy¡± said Joan gratefully.

 15. Wedding Day

    The wedding reception was held in a well-known and most prestigious hotel. Guests had started to arrive to fill the room. There were many rich businessmen from within and outside the country who also enlivened the event that night. Not only that, dozens of top actors and actresses attended  Liza¡¯s friends also came to attend.

    Joan is ready with her suit, currently she is being helped by Dafa to put on her bow tie.

    ¡± Have all the guests arrived Daf ? ¡± asked Joan who reflexively stopped Dafa ¡®s activities .

    ¡± Only part of the boss ¡± replied Dafa as he resumed his activities .

    Dafa stopped what he was doing when he felt the tie was neatly attached .

    ¡± Mrs. Zea and Mr. Liam have also arrived boss , they are meeting Liza in the make ¨C up room . Looks like they will now head to the reception area ¡± said Dafa , which was only a small nod from Joan .

    Today Joan gave an exception to Liam and Zea to attend her daughter¡¯s wedding. But after today Joan promised not to let them see Liza for any reason.  Liza¡¯s psychology was a little disturbed. The woman was traumatized which made her scream hysterically and in fear.

    For the past three days, Joan has not been in thepany because she is busy taking care of Liza, whom she has transferred to her penthouse. Even though Liza has been treated by several medical personnel, she still needs love from someone she can trust.

    Joan woke up from her daydream , now she started to walk followed by Dafa to rush downstairs , where the event was going to be held .

    After arriving downstairs, Joan, who was apanied by Dafa as groomsmen or groomsmen, began to walk through the aisles filled with flowers filled with white shades.

    Joan¡¯s smile broke when she saw Liza who was wearing a knee-length white dress standing gracefully apanied by Liam who was standing beside her.

    All pairs of eyes focused their attention on the bride and groom. Liza¡¯s friends gave a very lively apuse, the cold night atmosphere turned warm instantly.

    Joan began to dress his future wife with a blue diamond ring, also known as The Cullinan Dream, which costs up to Rp.  358 billion on the ring finger of his right hand.

    The guests cheered when they saw Joan who kissed Liza¡¯s forehead after she finished putting on her ring.

    Now it was Liza¡¯s turn to put Joan¡¯s ring on the ring finger of her right hand.N?velDrama.Org owns this.

    The sound of apuse was once again boisterous when the ring instation procession was finished. Joan kissed Liza¡¯s lips briefly as a closing ceremony for one of the events.

    Liza just pinched Joan¡¯s stomach slowly because she was furious with the man¡¯s actions in front of the guests. Meanwhile, Joan just smiled with satisfaction after feeling the kiss on those sweet lips.

    Sarah, who was there attending her brother¡¯s wedding, could only shake her head at Joan¡¯s behavior.

    Unlike Ansel and Auris, who shed tears of joy because their youngest child has now be a husband who must bear the burden and be responsible for Liza and her child in the future.

    ¡°They look really good together, don¡¯t they,¡± said Auris to her husband who was already crying.

    ¡°Yes ma¡¯am, our naughty son has now be a husband as well as a father¡± Ansel replied softly, the man was still busy wiping the tears that rolled down his cheeks using his handkerchief.

    ¡± Sarah just hopes that they are both happy and live together until death do them both ¡± said Sarah with hope .

    ¡°A man can¡¯t have only one woman in his life, honey¡± whispered Darren who had been beside Sarah and Ansel and Auris.

    Sarah red at her fianc¨¦ , an asshole like him will never know about loyalty , because he is a man who often changes women who do not know how to respect and respect women ¡®s feelings .

    Sarah was just silent, she didn¡¯t pay attention to Darren¡¯s words, she didn¡¯t want them to fight and ruin the event that her brother, Joan, had painstakingly prepared.

    Liza keeps showing her fake smile, she doesn¡¯t feel the slightest happiness after legally bing a wife of a man whose wealth will not run out for seven generations. Liza¡¯s mind is currently only filled with Dn¡¯s disappointment, maybe only hatred will she get after leaving Dn  without saying a word.

    After a series of main events starting from the instation of rings, the marriage ceremony to the delivery of words from the bride and groom, it had been carried out well. Now Joan took Liza to a room that was quiet from the crowd of guests.

    Joan took Liza to one of the VIP rooms in the hotel , since earlier at the reception she noticed something was wrong with the woman .

    ¡± Is the dress too narrow dear ? ¡± Joan asked while feeling Liza ¡®s stomach to make sure that the size of the dress she chose was not too tight .

    ¡°No really,¡± said Liza who immediately let go of Joan¡¯s hand that was stuck to her stomach.

    ¡± Then why do you keep holding your stomach all this time ? ¡± Joan asked who was curious because she saw Liza had been holding her stomach since the beginning of the event .

    Liza smiled faintly ¡± My stomach is a bit queasy ¡± The woman answered briefly .

    Joan looked at the woman with a very strong sense of worry ¡°Well, you just rest here, okay, if it¡¯s about guests, I¡¯ll take care of it¡±

    Liza shook her head ¡± I can not , I have to greet my friends too bro ¡± Liza pursed her lips giving the impression of pleading that she showed through her expression .

    Joan immediately ruffled his wife¡¯s hair with annoyance ¡°Okay, but don¡¯t get tired, I won¡¯t forgive you if anything happens to our baby¡± Joan said while stroking Liza¡¯s stomach very gently.

    ¡± Come on bro , our baby is sleeping , do not disturb ! ¡± Liza eximed withughter .

    Joan just smiled happily hearing his wife¡¯s words, this was the first time he heard Liza joking again after the incident 3 days ago.

    Now Joan immediately took Liza ¡®s hand out of the room to the reception area which was still full of guests .

    Joan and Liza both looked around at the guests who were still crowding around and busy with their respective activities. Some were eating and drinking, but some preferred to get acquainted with other businessmen to discuss their business problems.

    Joan¡¯s eyes locked onto one of the women who was waving at him. Joan immediately took Liza¡¯s hand and brought her along to approach the beautiful woman.

    The woman immediately hugged Joan with a happy expression that continued to shine on her beautiful face .

    ¡± Congrattions Ar , now you have be a husband . I was really surprised when I heard the news of Lo ¡®s sudden marriage ¡± said the woman after letting go of the two hugs .

    Joan smiled happily in response to the woman¡¯s words ¡°Yes Na, I have to be responsible for my girl¡¯s pregnancy that¡¯s why I carried out this marriage suddenly¡± Joan exined as she turned to Liza who was still silent watching her chat with Yuna, her little friend.

    The tall woman looked at the woman standing beside Joan.

    Yuna¡¯s mouth formed the letter O ¡± Ooh this is the one who managed to melt the heart of the stone hearted man, hehehe ¡± Yuna said with a small chuckle at the end of her sentence.

    Yuna stretched out her hand which Liza immediately replied ¡°I¡¯m Yunara Arissa, just call bro Yuna, because you¡¯re much younger than me¡± Yuna exined with a smile on her thin lips.

    ¡°Nice to meet you too bro, I¡¯m Liza Nathalia Hope, nice to meet you¡± Liza answered briefly, solid and clear.

    It¡¯s strange, Liza feels jealous when she sees her husband¡¯s closeness to Yuna.  Moreover, the two of them have been rumored to be dating by the media.

    ¡± bro , I want to say hello to my friends first , ¡± said Liza to her husband .

    Joan nodded ¡± Yes , but don¡¯t get tired , honey , I ¡®ll just go straight to the lobby , I ¡®ll wait for you there ¡± said Joan with a smile that continued to spread on her handsome face .

    Liza nodded in agreement with all of Joan¡¯s words, this time she turned to look at Yuna ¡°bro Yuna, I¡¯ll stay for now, you two just talk¡± Liza said goodbye.

    Yuna nodded ¡°Yes please, don¡¯t get tired, Li¡± Yuna said to which Liza nodded.

    Now Liza is stepping away from Joan and Yuna who are chatting. Liza¡¯s steps are stopped when she sees a man who looks like a model, that man is Erick, Dn¡¯s best friend.

    Erick, who was flirting with the sexy and beautiful female guests, was forced to stop his activities when Liza pulled her body away from the crowd of guests.

    ¡± Where is Dn , Rick ? ¡± Liza asked quietly .

    ¡± Dn just pulled ¡± said Erick with a t face .

    ¡°Is he still in the parking lot now Rick?¡±

    Erick nodded ¡°It seems like you just need to follow up, who knows the child is still there¡± Erick said, to which Liza immediately followed.

    Liza walked in a hurry, she didn¡¯t care about the safety of the fetus. She elerated her steps towards the parking lot so that she could meet Dn even if it was just to apologize.

    Liza¡¯s breath hitched when she arrived at the parking area. Liza looked around to see the whereabouts of Dn¡¯s car which she could recognize from the license te number.

    He started to breathe a sigh of relief when he saw the car he was looking for was still parked there , Liza immediately got into the car that was not locked at all .

    Liza¡¯s heart seemed to be sliced ??when she saw Dn who was crying without making a sound. The man who was sitting in the driver¡¯s seat turned to look at someone who had just entered his car.

    ¡± Li , why did you do this to me , sob ¡­ sob . ¡± Dn wept bitterly as well as Liza .

    Liza pulled Dn¡¯s body into her arms, she gently stroked the man¡¯s back hoping Dn would feel a little calm.

    ¡°I¡¯m sorry Lan, I¡¯m doing this because I don¡¯t want my child to feel the same way I feel, I don¡¯t want him to feel all the suffering caused by his own parents¡¯ actions, I know how painful that suffering is Lan. So I hope  You understand and forgive me Lan¡± Liza exined, which immediately made Dn look at her with an unreadable gaze.

    ¡°You¡¯ve never cheated on me, have you, that bastard who forced Lo Li?¡±

    Liza nodded slowly ¡± Yes Lan this is all Joan ¡®s fault , but I also can not escape my responsibility as the mother of this child ¡± Liza pointed at her stomach .

    ¡°If it¡¯s the child¡¯s problem, I can still forgive Lo Li, but I will never be able to ept it if you leave and forget about me. It¡¯s all too cruel for me Li, it¡¯s not fair you know¡± Dn said quietly.

    ¡± No Lan I will not let you go , I will stay by your side forever , I promise Lan ¡± said Liza as she wrapped her little finger with Dn ¡®s little finger

 16. New Life

    Liza Pov

    I blinked many times I could not believe that the house I saw in front of my eyes now is the house I will live in with my husband , Joan .

    This house was given by Papah Ansel as our wedding gift.

    What makes me stunned is not because of the luxury of this house, but because of the scenery around it which is filled with several trees and a veryrge pond. Ake and a golf course are also behind this house.

    ¡± Does this house not suit your taste dear ? ¡± Joan asked who saw me speechless .

    I shook my head while forming a smile on my lips ¡°It suits you, this house is very beautiful. I really like it¡±

    ¡± It ¡®s good if you like it , my papa deliberately bought a house with lots of trees so you can feel the fresh oxygen every morning ¡± said Joan , the man continued to smile at me .

    ¡°Honey, how long have you been calling me brother? Now, I¡¯m already your husband.¡± Joan asked with a sullen expression.

    ¡°Then what do you want to be called?¡±  I asked in surprise.

    ¡°What if it¡¯s okay?¡±  Joan¡¯s suggestion immediately made me shake my head in disapproval.

    ¡°Our child hasn¡¯t been born yet, why should I call you papah?¡±  I said firmly.

    My husband pursed his lips, instead of looking ugly, his face looked even more handsome and cute in my eyes.

    ¡± What if I just call you hubby , hubby is a pun on the word husband ¡± I said giving advice .

    My husband shook his head excitedly , the expression on his face that was gloomy was sweet again .

    ¡± It ¡®s okay , just hubby , but when our child is born , change it to papah ! ¡± Joan eximed which made me just smile happily .

    The two of us started to end our chat and walked into the house .

    I was surprised when I saw about 10 men with burly bodies and their height seen wearing bodyguard clothes, I can confirm that they are the people assigned to maintain security in this house.

    While beside the bodyguard there were several women wearing maid clothes, what I saw were about 15 maids.  Some of them still look under 30 years old.

    Joan took my hand towards the two maids who looked the same age as me.

    ¡± Dear introduce them Tia and E , in the future they will take care of all your needs and apany you ¡± My husband exined .

    I looked at Tia and E who looked down ¡°You two don¡¯t be afraid I don¡¯t bite¡± I said as I reached out to E and Tia in turn.

    E immediately returned my hand as well as Tia. They kept looking at me not knowing why.

    ¡°Miss Liza, I¡¯m a really big fan of Miss¡± Tia shouted with joy.

    ¡°Me too Non, I¡¯m a big fan of Non, it¡¯s like a dream to meet you in person,¡± said E, who was as excited as Tia.

    I just smiled at their words , it was only natural that they had looked down like they were embarrassed to see me .

    ¡± I am also happy to meet fans like you two , hopefully in the future we can be good friends ¡± I said while patting their shoulders lightly .

    ¡°Unfortunately they are servants that I moved from the mansion, they really like to chat and talk a lot. That¡¯s why I assigned them to apany you so that you are not lonely when I am not at home¡± My husband exined, I just smiled as well as E and Tia who smiled when  Joan said about their naughty attitude.

    ¡°Yes, you must be really tired today, let¡¯s just go straight to the room¡± said Joan as he took me to a room on the 2nd floor.

    Joan immediately put her tired body to sleep on the veryrge and luxurious bed.

    ¡± You do not take a shower first by ? ¡± I asked which immediately made my husband who had closed his eyes immediately opened his eyes again and turned to me .

    ¡± Why do you want ¡± replied my husband as he got up from the bed .

    He quickly took a towel that was located on the table beside the bathroom which was located in the room.

    My husband turned back to me who was sitting in front of the dressing table to remove make up.

    ¡± Do you also want to take a shower ? ¡± My husband asked .

    I nodded slowly.

    ¡°You just take a shower tomorrow morning, it¡¯s dangerous honey, pregnant people can¡¯t take a bath in the middle of the night¡± My husband said looking at me with a serious face.

    ¡± But it ¡®s not good , it feels really hot ¡± I protested which immediately got a sharp re from my husband .

    ¡°Okay, okay, I¡¯ll obey you¡± I said annoyed, my husband smiled, he quickly stepped back into the bathroom to freshen up.

    Meanwhile I resumed my activities to remove the makeup that was still stuck to my face.

    Because the makeup that I use is waterproof, it¡¯s quite difficult to remove it. Luckily, I used micer water which can quickly remove the makeup.

    I immediately breathed a sigh of relief after I finished with that one task , now I move to the walk in closet to change clothes .

    Again I was surprised after seeing the contents of the room. I did not think that my husband had prepared everything for me from clothes, essories, bags to shoes.  All the items were neatly arranged like a shop. In fact, all of the items were items from well-known brands such as Gi, Chanel, Prada, Louis Vuitton, Dior, Burberry, Hermes, Ralph Lauren, to the House of Versace brand.N?velDrama.Org owns this.

    Not only that, it turns out that my husband has also prepared a dress for pregnant women. I didn¡¯t think that Joan, who is now legally my husband, turned out to be someone who is very thorough in everything.

    I really feel guilty.  He shouldn¡¯t have married me, a woman who couldn¡¯t give him a heart.  There are still many women out there who want it, visuals, attitudes, wealth, all of that is in my husband. If only I didn¡¯t have his child, I wouldn¡¯t be able to marry him.  Even just being a friend, I feel insecure, especially if I have to be a wife who apanies him.

 17. The First Night

    Pov Liza

    Iy down on the bed after changing my wedding dress with a nightgown. I nced at the clock which was located on the nightstand.

    ¡°It¡¯s two o¡¯clock¡± I muttered.N?velDrama.Org owns this text.

    I nced towards the bathroom, it turned out that my husband was still not done with his bathing ritual even though he had entered the bathroom half an hour ago.

    I also chose to y on my cellphone to just open social media and read any news that was raised by the journalists and media who hade to my wedding.

    I can only smile reading the positivements written by my fans. Honestly I feel relieved because they didn¡¯t hate me when they found out that I was pregnant out of wedlock.

    ¡± Why are you smiling to yourself ? ¡± asked Joan who had juste out of the bathroom .

    I averted my eyes as I threw my phone next to a pillow.

    I started to look at my husband.

    ¡°Aaaaaaaaaaaa¡± I screamed so loudly, I quickly covered my eyes with both my palms.

    ¡± What are you doing , honey ? ¡± Joan asked as she climbed onto the bed and walked over to me .

    Joan tried to lower my palms which were still faithfully covering my eyes.

    Even though I tried my best to keep my eyes closed, my husband¡¯s muscr hands still managed to lower my palms.

    I couldn¡¯t help but have to see my husband¡¯s sixpack body who was not wearing clothes.

    ¡°W-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-why don¡¯t you wear clothes¡± I said nervously, the muscle-filled body really made me act weird right away.

    My husband just chuckled a little at my very silly behavior.

    ¡°I¡¯m your husband dear, why should you be ashamed to look at my body, even though I¡¯m just not wearing clothes, I¡¯m not naked, anyways, haven¡¯t you ever seen my whole body when we made the grandpa¡± My husband said while stroking my stomach.  just narrow the distance from me.

    I really can not answer his words , my eyes continue to focus on my husband ¡®s handsome face which is added to his hair which is disheveled and still wet .

    ¡± Do you want to do it tonight ? ¡± My husband asked with a straight face , he made my brain travel straight away .

    ¡± Do what ?¡±  I said nervous.

    My husband did not answer , he just winked one eye with a smile that I think is very sexy .

    ¡± What the hell ? ¡± I said angrily while pinching my husband ¡®s stomach gently .

    My husband justughed out loud , seeing the way heughed out loud really made me feel very peaceful seeing him look so happy .

    My actions did not stop there, my hands began to tickle my husband¡¯s body mercilessly, that night we were both very happy even though before I hated that man half to death, but this time it felt different.

    My husband tried to stop my action , he tried to release my hand which was still tickling his body mercilessly .

    I let go of my hand slowly after I could not bear to see him tired ofughing , my husband took his body away from me quickly he got off the bed to avoid me .

    ¡± I will repay you after this ¡± threatened my husband as he walked away towards the walk in closet to put on his clothes .

    The man¡¯sughter kept ringing in my ears.

    I kept looking at my husband¡¯s back which slowly started to disappear from my sight.

    you should get a better woman and really love you bro

    I started to close my eyes, thinking about all the things that made me fall for Joan. I never loved Joan, I just wanted to get protection from someone who is more powerful than my parents, I also don¡¯t want my child to have to feel the same way I experienced  from childhood to the present.

    I think Joan is a different person from my parents , maybe this man will love my son sincerely .

    All I¡¯m doing right now is keeping this child, even though one day something happens that makes me leave Joan for whatever reason, I promised myself to give this child to Joan because she is someone who is superior in every way to me.  I often experience trauma that makes me able to do anything including hurting the people around me.

    ¡± Are you sleeping dear ? ¡± Asked my husband who immediately hugged me from behind .

    I quickly opened my eyes and turned my body towards my husband who was already lying beside me.

    ¡°Not yet.¡± I answered simply.

    ¡± Are you not sleepy yet ? ¡± Joan asked again , the man still faithfully hugged my body giving warmth to the cold night atmosphere .

    I just shook my head, I just buried my head in the man¡¯s chest.

    The masculine scent on the man ¡®s body made me feel veryfortable in his arms .

    ¡± I really like the smell of your perfume byy ¡± Iplimented while tightening the hug .

    ¡± Stop teasing me dear , you know very well if we can not do it tonight because your womb is still very vulnerable ¡± whispered my husband who I immediately hit him in the chest .

    ¡± Who else is teasing you , I ¡®m just apliment , ¡± I said curtly .

    The man just chuckled, seeing me upset seemed to always make him feel very entertained.

    ¡°Hehehehe, don¡¯t be so angry, honey, or else her beauty will decrease.¡± My husband started to ruffle my hair with annoyance.

    ¡± uh ¡­ already my hair is so messy right ? ¡± I said in an annoyed tone while stopping my husband ¡®s action who kept ruffling my hair .

    ¡°I¡¯m sorry because you¡¯re really cranky anyway¡± said my husband apologized.

    ¡°It¡¯s been a long time, honey, continue the fight tomorrow morning. I¡¯m really sleepy, you also have to sleep, today you never rest at all it¡¯s not good for fetal development¡± My husband said while kissing my forehead gently.

    ¡°Good night my dear wife¡± My husband said after giving a quick kiss.

    He quickly covered our bodies with nkets , after making sure the nkets covered our bodies up to the shoulders he quickly hugged me back as if I would run away from him if not hugged .

    My husband closed his eyes, it seems he was very tired the past four days after taking care of me, taking care of thepany and even taking care of our marriage.

    I feel every corner of my husband¡¯s face, his face is very handsome. His beautiful eyelids, sharp nose, and his sexy little lips make him almost look very perfect.

    I just hope that the baby I¡¯m carrying is a boy and is simr to my husband in all respects, both visually and in terms of intelligence.

 18. Fall in Love With You

    Joan Pov

    I began to open my eyes slowly when the re of the sun entered through the gap in my bedroom window. I nced at my side and it turned out that my wife was no longer lying beside me.

    ¡± Honey ¡± I called in a weak tone like someone who had just woken up .

    I also woke up my body which still felt very sleepy, I searched the whole room. I was really surprised when I found my wife was vomiting in the toilet.

    It seems that my wife is experiencing symptoms of morning sickness which generally always urs in pregnant women who have just entered the first trimester.

    I quickly approached my wife and massaged the nape of her neck , she kept removing all the liquid contents from her body .

    ¡± Does your stomach feel really bad honey ? ¡± I asked after Liza stopped vomiting .

    Liza turned to me, her face was really pale. I quickly carried her bridal style andid her back on the bed.

    ¡°I¡¯ll get hot water first, so that your stomach feels a little better,¡± I said, only to be answered by Liza¡¯s nod.

    I quickly went to the kitchen to get a ss of hot water and some vitamins for pregnant women .

    ¡± Master what do you need ? ¡± Asked Bi mina , one of the maids who was over 50 years old .

    ¡°This is bi, Liza is sick, that¡¯s why I want to bring her hot water and vitamins¡± I said in a polite tone, my parents always taught me to be polite to older people even though they were my employees.N?velDrama.Org owns this.

    ¡°Oh my gosh, I¡¯m really sorry, Miss Liza, sir, if you need something, just call your aunt, don¡¯t be the one who intervenes by yourself to take something from the kitchen,¡± said Bi Mina to me.

    I shook my head while showing a smile ¡± No bi , if it is Liza ¡®s business , I just let myself intervene ¡± I said convincing Bi Mina .

    ¡°Yes, sir. If that¡¯s what you want, sir, I won¡¯t force it, in fact I¡¯m proud to have an employer who, apart from being a gentleman, is also very considerate of his wife.¡± Praises Bi Mina by mixing Indonesian and Sundanese.

    ¡°Bi Mina, you can do it, after all, it¡¯s my obligation to pay attention to my wife, especially Liza, who is two, needs extra attention, hehe¡± I said while chuckling softly.

    ¡°It¡¯s like tea, sir, falling in love with Miss Liza,¡± said Bi Mina while patting my shoulder.

    I can only smile Shyly, it seems Bi Mina is right. I am really in love with that woman.

    ¡± Auntie can do it , I ¡®ve gone to the room first , sorry Liza has been waiting for a long time ¡± I said goodbye to Bi Mina , I quickly returned to the room with a tray containing a ss of hot water and some vitamins .

    I put the tray on the table next to the bed, I helped Liza who was still lying down to position her body to sit.

    I really can not bear to see my wife who was very cheerfulst night turned so gloomy like this , maybe she will experience these symptoms for the next 2 months .

    Liza started to sit leaning her head and back on the headboard, she continued to massage her dizzy head.

    I quickly gave him some vitamins , after he drank some vitamins , I returned to give him a ss of warm water which he gulped down immediately .

    ¡°I¡¯ll just call the doctor, okay, honey?¡± I asked, which Liza shook her head immediately.

    ¡± No need by , then it will be fine ¡± said my wife .

    ¡± But I can not bear to see you like this dear ¡± I said while stroking my wife ¡®s hair that fell beautifully .

    ¡± Trust me , I ¡®m okay ¡± said Liza as she took my hand and looked at me with a reassuring look .

    ¡± Yes , if you are sure that you are fine , but if there is no change , tell me , honey , I can not let you why ¨C Napa ¡± I said that sounded like a threat .

    ¡± Yes my dear husband ¡± said Liza with her sweet smile , ah I really missed seeing that smile .

    I turned my body so as not to look like someone who was busy, now I turned to take something in the drawer.

    I took a Dior branded wallet that I ordered from Paris a few days ago. I immediately gave it to my wife who was sitting looking at me.

    ¡°Inside there is a ck card along with several credit cards, Debit cards and ATM cards to meet all your needs, I will fill them every month¡± I exined which immediately made Liza look at me with an inexplicable look.

    ¡°You don¡¯t have to, you¡¯ve spent how many billions, starting from the wedding ring, wedding fees, all the clothes you prepared for me from well-known brands, even my socks are also branded Gi.  penalty fees for all contracts that I canceled unterally, this is too much for me¡± Liza said as she returned to give me the wallet.

    I lifted Liza¡¯s smooth face looking at her beautiful eyes ¡°ALL THAT CANNOT REPLACE YOUR FUTURE THAT I HAVE SHOWN, THE CAREER THAT YOU HAVE HARD TO ACHIEVE LI¡± I said emphasizing every word I said.

    I started to shed tears when I remember how badly I treated Liza that night, if only I wasn¡¯t emotional, maybe today Liza was still on the set to achieve her dream to be an international actress, at an award wearing a beautiful dress, greeting the audience.  fans who always support him.

    However , this is actually the opposite , Liza lies weak and helpless , she can not even put in any food that used to be her favorite food .

    In this world the person I hate the most is myself. Not Dn or anyone else.

 19. Figures from the Past

    Pov Liza

    Cups.

    I kissed my husband¡¯s lips briefly which immediately made the man speechless.

    Her face looks red for some reason.

    He raised his hand holding the lips I had kissed just now.

    I did not think my husband actually brought his body closer to me and put his soft lips on mine.

    Deg¡­

    The rhythm of my heart beats faster, when he caresses my lips like an opium. Likewise with him I can feel the sound of his heart beating so fast.

    I began to dissolve in the game , I gave up when my husband pushed me slowly onto the bed . He continued to caress my lips while positioning his body on top of me . My husband still held his weight so as not to pierce my stomach .

    My husband kissed my neck trying to turn me on .

    Bruk ¡­. I immediately pushed my husband¡¯s body until he fell to the floor.

    I reflexively did that when I saw Yuna¡¯s sister in the doorway watching us making out.

    Yuna¡¯s sister smiled at me, while my husband winced in pain because his back hit the floor.

    ¡°Tell me, Li dong, it¡¯s okay to refuse, but don¡¯t push it right away, it hurts you know¡± My husband said annoyed.

    I helped my husband who was holding his back in pain to stand up. My husband still had his back to Yuna, he didn¡¯t even realize that Yuna had been watching our actions.

    I several times hinted at telling my husband to look back.

    ¡± What ¡®s wrong Li ? ¡± he asked with an annoyed face .

    I¡¯m furious because my husband doesn¡¯t understand my cues yet. Even though I¡¯ve pointed back several times using my chin.

    ¡± Sis Yuna is here ¡± I whispered softly so as not to be heard by Yuna who was still silent in the doorway .

    My husband immediately turned his body towards the back , he widened his eyes not believing that someone had been peeking at him .

    ¡± What are you doing standing there , you should have said if you were there ¡± said my husband as he straightened one of his open shirt buttons .

    ¡± Sorry Ar , I just don¡¯t want to bother you . That ¡®s why I just keep quiet . If only Liza did not see me , maybe you have done that in front of my pure eyes ¡± said Yuna who seemed to feel very embarrassed .

    ¡± After all , you go into someone ¡®s room so early in the morning , how can you not knock on the door first ? ¡± My husband said while ruffling Yuna ¡®s hair .

    Yuna¡¯s sister just smiled at the sweet treatment.

    I just stared at their closeness, to be honest, Yuna, who was beautiful and well-built, made me feel a bit unrivaled.

    ¡°Li, I¡¯m sorry, I went straight to your room because Bi Mina said that you were sick. Because I was really worried so I just went straight to the room,¡± said Yuna while holding my hands.

    The woman really looks very cute coupled with her small face shape, her skin is white like Korean people even her body shape is very beautiful even though she is considered very thin and not ideal because her height is about 168 cm and her weight is less than 50 kg.

    I tried to smile looking at him ¡°It¡¯s okay sis, thank you because you¡¯ve been worried about me¡± I replied as I patted Yuna¡¯s shoulder.

    My husband just ruffled his hair Frustrated , his expression was really awkward .  It seemed that he was very disturbed because his actions just stopped. I could only smile looking at him who was wearing a disappointed expression.

    I can only hold his hand to ease the tension a little .

    Sis Yuna justughed at the attitude of Sis Joan who looked very tortured. The woman sat down on a sofa, maybe her legs were already sore because she had been standing in the doorway.

    The woman who was wearing a white dress looked around ¡°The interior design of your room is really luxurious, the design is more American ssic. Om Ansel didn¡¯t make the wrong choice,¡± said Yuna as she folded her arms in front of her chest.

    Sis Yuna¡¯s words really made me very curious, how close is my husband¡¯s friendship with Yuna¡¯s brother, that the woman had to get to know my father-inw.

    I looked at my husband and sister Yuna alternately with probing eyes.

    ¡± You¡¯re right , this room was designed by an American architect ¡± My husband said as he sat down beside Yuna ¡®s sister .

    I who was lying on the bed could only be a mosquito repellent when they chatted and acted as if the world belonged to the two of them.

    ¡± Eh yes I forgot Ar , if I came here because I wanted to talk about our cooperation problem ¡± said Yuna Sis .

    That¡¯s when I just realized that Yuna is the CEO of apany in the fashion sector. No wonder Yuna always looks very attractive, it turns out that she is very familiar with that field.

    Sister Yuna¡¯s family is a family that has abundant assets and wealth, even though it is notparable to my husband¡¯s family wealth which reaches tens of trillions.

    But whenpared to my family¡¯s wealth it seems we are bothparable.

    I went back to listening to the conversation between my husband and the 31-year-old woman. They started to talk about a conversation that I really couldn¡¯t understand, it¡¯s only natural because since I was little I never learned about business at all. I only focused on ballet dancing and learning some arts.  I have fulfilled other things such as ying music, doing acting, even about writing novels so that I can easily memorize every scenario that I will y.

    ***

    Liza yed with her cellphone to reduce her boredom from just sitting there listening to Joan and Yuna¡¯s chatter.

    Yuna drank a cup of tea that had been brought by a waiter. Joan started to drink her favorite coffee.

    ¡± Aren¡¯t you hungry dear ? ¡± Joan asked Liza . Liza stopped staring at the cellphone screen , she focused her gaze on Joan who was sitting on the sofa .

    Liza shook her head , this time she started to get off the bed and started to approach Joan who was sitting on the sofa not far from the bed position .

    ¡± I asked for a little , ¡± said Liza as she took a cup of coffee that had been drunk by her husband .

    Before Liza had time to drink the coffee , Joan ¡®s hand immediately took the ss from Liza ¡®s hand .

    ¡± You are pregnant dear , do not drink coffee ! ¡± Joan put the coffee back on the table .

    Liza threw a sharp re at Joan.

    ¡± Just a little bit , I ¡®m drooling when I see you drinking coffee ¡± Liza said with a spoiled tone .

    ¡°Just give me Ar, poor wife Lo. Let your baby get drool again¡± Yuna said defending Liza.

    ¡°It¡¯s not like that, Na, but the caffeine in this coffee is really high. The doctor said that caffeinated coffee above 100 mg per day in pregnant women increases the risk of babies with low birth weight.  made Yuna and Liza not move.

    Liza just put on a sullen face , Joan did not stay silent she quickly went to the kitchen to make a ss of juice to quell her wife ¡®s anger .

    Now only Liza and Yuna are sitting alone in the room , there is no conversation between the two of them , they are just busy with their respective worlds . Liza chooses to y with her cellphone while Yuna is busy fiddling with herptop .

    Drttttt¡­ Drttttt¡­..

    Liza immediately picked up a call from someone.

    ¡°Li, help Dn sob ¡­ sob¡­¡± said someone from the other side of the phone while sobbing.

    ¡°What¡¯s wrong Auntie Din?¡±  Liza asked stammering .

    ¡°Dn¡¯s illness recurred and now he is dered in aa by the doctor Li sob¡­ sob¡­ sob¡­¡± Renata¡¯s aunt answered, sobbing.

    Liza ¡®s body shook very strongly , her tears just fell .

    ¡°Auntie, please send me the location! sob¡­. sob¡­¡± Liza covered her mouth with one of her hands so that her sobs wouldn¡¯t echo.

    Liza hung up her phone unterally. She immediately saw the location that had been sent by Renata, Dn¡¯s mother.

    Liza crouched, buried her head in her hands, she cried profusely. Her heart felt tight when she found out that the man she had loved for years was again lying weak in a hospital bed.All content is property ? N?velDrama.Org.

    ¡± I ¡®m sorry , if only I had not left you all this would not have happened again ¡± Liza muttered while holding her head which felt a little dizzy .

    ¡± Li Lo why ? ¡± Yuna asked who had just approached the woman who was sittingnguidly .

    Liza raised her face to look at Yuna.

    ¡°Sis Yuna is here with a car, right?¡±

    Yuna nodded ¡°Yes, bring it, what¡¯s wrong Li, why are you like this right away?¡± Yuna asked eliminating her curiosity.

    ¡°I¡¯m borrowing your brother¡¯s car for a moment, my car is in your apartment¡±

    ¡± Where are you going Li ? Why not wait for Joan to drop you off ? ¡± Yuna asked again , she was very sure that Joan would not allow her to drive alone in such a young pregnancy .

    Liza raised her hands pleading with Yuna. Yuna couldn¡¯t bear to see a woman who was crying in front of her. Finally Yuna gave her car keys to Liza.

    Liza quickly came out of the room half running without wearing warm clothes or anything. Even though it was raining heavily outside.

    Yuna just stared at Liza¡¯s departure. Earlier she had grabbed the woman¡¯s hand so she wouldn¡¯t go alone, but Liza instead let go of the hand grip and ran like a thief.

    Liza started to drive Yuna¡¯s Lamborghini, luckily she was used to using such a luxurious car. Because the car she left in her apartment was the same Lamborghini as Yuna¡¯s, only the color was different.

    The red car started out through the high gate , the guard in charge of guarding the gate let the car out just like that because they thought it was Yuna not Liza .

    Yuna stepped out of the room and headed towards the kitchen to meet Joan.

    ¡°Ar¡± Yuna called who immediately stopped Joan¡¯s activity who was blending orange juice.

    Joan turned to Yuna who was behind her ¡± Do you want it too Na ? ¡± Joan asked who thought Yuna wanted juice too .

    Yuna shook her head quickly ¡± I don¡¯t want Ar juice , I just want to say that Lo ¡®s wife did not know where she was going , she left crying after receiving a call from someone ¡± Yuna exined .

    Joan rolled her eyes ¡± What, why didn¡¯t he tell me first?¡± Joan asked in surprise.

    Yuna just shook her head.

    ¡°But he was apanied by the driver, right, Na?¡± asked Joan, who thought that his wife was being escorted by the driver.

    ¡°It¡¯s okay Ar, he went alone and borrowed my car¡± Yuna exined, to be honest the woman was scared because Joan would definitely scold her all out.

    Joan threw the ss she was holding in any direction , her face started to turn red .

    ¡°Why do you want him to have a car, you know that my wife is sick. Do you want to be responsible if something happens to him and my future child?¡± Joan shouted, which made Yuna instantly frightened.

    ¡± I ¡®m sorry Ar , but your wife was so insistent on begging me , you know I ¡®m an impatient person ¡± Yuna said as she lowered her head , not daring to look at Joan .

    Joan just ruffled her hair. Frustrated, she couldn¡¯t me Yuna for this incident.

    ¡°Well, I want to find my wife first, I¡¯m afraid something will happen to her.¡± Joan said goodbye and walked away towards the room leaving Yuna who was silent in ce.

    Joan started to take her jeans jacket and didn¡¯t forget to take the key which was in the nightstand.

    The broad-shouldered man stepped out of the room again and rushed to the parking lot to retrieve his car.

    Joan was surprised when she saw Yuna was standing beside her car.

    ¡°My car has a GPS, Ar, so I¡¯ll go with Lo and show you where Lo¡¯s wife will go¡± Yuna said while showing her cellphone screen which contains a location tracking application that is connected to the GPS that has been installed in her car.

    Joan nodded , the man immediately invited Yuna toe with him .

 20. Only the body, not with the heart

    Joan stepped on the gas at a very high speed , she did not care about the busy road at that time coupled with the heavy rain that also wet the asphalt road .

    ¡± Ar , slow down a little . If this is how you take the car . It ¡®s better for me to do it , it seems that your thoughts are not going wild ¡± said Yuna who was scared .

    Joan ignored the words of the woman beside her, she continued to focus on the road. She was driving her car very fast to catch up with Liza¡¯s car which was not far from her current location.

    ¡± Na please call Liza ! ¡± Joan eximed as she handed her cellphone to Yuna .

    Yuna quickly called Liza , but there was no answer from the woman . Yuna did not give up she made several calls , none of which Liza picked up .

    ¡°Not picked up Ar¡± said Yuna Frustrated.

    ¡°Arrrgghh¡± Joan growled as she hit the steering wheel several times.

    Joan did this to relieve her anxiety, because Liza¡¯s movement, which was moving very fast, could be seen on Yuna¡¯s cellphone screen.

    Joan pulled the car over, the man realized that at this time he was not alone but with a woman who had been his friend for decades. He also had to think about Yuna¡¯s safety, Joan couldn¡¯t be selfish because she only wanted to ensure Liza¡¯s safety.

    Joan got out of the car as well as Yuna, they began to change positions. Yuna sat in the driver¡¯s seat while Joan was in the passenger seat.

    The two of them returned to continue their journey, there was an argument between them when Joan started babbling erratically.

    ¡°This is all because of Lo na, if only you didn¡¯te to my house it wouldn¡¯t be like this. Maybe right now I¡¯m still in the uwu-uwuan room with my wife¡± Joan said with an annoyed face.

    ¡°I didn¡¯t think it would happen like this Ar, at first I just wanted to talk about business. It¡¯s just Lo¡¯s wife who is acting weird.¡± Yuna red at the woman raising her voice.

    Joan immediately hit the girl ¡®s head who was focused on driving .

    ¡± It hurts to know kamvret ¡± Yuna snapped , did not ept being treated like that .

    Joan smiled with satisfaction ¡± This is the answer because you have been peeking at someone who is in love ¡± Joan stuck her tongue out at Yuna .

    Yuna could only stare cynically at Joan , she was really angry that she wanted to beat the manpletely . Unfortunately now she has to focus on driving and look ahead .

    ¡°Come on, instead of talking about parrots, it¡¯s better to see where your wife is now,¡± said Yuna.

    Joan pped his forehead , fighting with Yuna made him forget his current goal .

    The man looked at Yuna¡¯s cellphone screen, his eyes widened in disbelief because his wife¡¯s location was now in a hospital.

    ¡°Why is my wife now in the hospital huh?¡±  Joan started showing the location to Yuna .

    Yuna nced at Joan and then returned to focus on the road. ¡°Is one of Lo¡¯s inws sick, Ar?¡± Yuna asked, squinting her eyes.

    Joan shook her head ¡± Both of my parents ¨C in ¨Cw are in America ¡± replied Joan , Zea and Liam had indeed returned to Americast night after attending their wedding .

    ¡± So what is your wife doing at Ar hospital ? ¡± Yuna looked at Joan .

    Joan just shook her head , both of their minds were currently filled with questions that never got an answer .

    ¡± Na Lo , walk a little faster , not like a turtle ! ¡± Joan eximed by raising her voice .

    ¡°He¡¯s fussy, I brought it fast, but your car just runs like a worm¡± Yuna teased.

    Yuna refocused on driving her car , as well as Joan who kept trying to call his wife even though he never picked up a call .

    The white mercy car started to enter the hospital grounds. Joan told Yuna to go in first to ask where Liza was. Meanwhile, she went to the parking lot to park her car.

    Joan and Yuna met again in the lobby ording to their agreement before separating earlier .

    ¡± Is it true that my wife is here na ? ¡± Joan asked as she smoothed her slightly disheveled hair .

    ¡°Right Ar, I already know where he is now. Let¡¯s just go straight to that room now.¡± Yuna started to walk through the entire VIP room followed by Joan.

    Yuna stopped when she saw a room that matched the number mentioned by one of the nurses she met earlier.

    ¡± Kek, this is Ar¡¯s room ¡± Yuna said. Yuna turned her body to see Joan who was behind her.

    The man was silent staring at the window which showed a man lying down apanied by several people who were sitting on a sofa crying. But what became the center of Joan at this time was the presence of his wife in that ce.

    Yes, the man lying weak right now is Dn, his wife¡¯s ex-girlfriend. Liza was hugging the man¡¯s body, the woman kept crying in the man¡¯s arms while saying some words that Joan couldn¡¯t hear at all, because the room was a soundproof room.  .

    Joan held her chest that felt tight, her heart was like being sliced ??and then put by drops of orange juice. It was very painful.

    Yuna nced at the window she noticed something that had been Joan¡¯s main focus.

    Yuna was really surprised at the sight .

    ¡± What is this , why is Liza hugging my halu husband ? ¡± Yuna thought .

    Yuna is a fangirl who has idolized Dn for the past 3 years. She really falls in love with Dn¡¯s visuals, especially if the man is doing a dance. Ah, Yuna feels really slow when ites to Dn.

    Thousands of questions came back into Yuna¡¯s mind. Yuna looked at Joan who was silent, the man¡¯s expression really couldn¡¯t be interpreted at this time. The only thing that was seen in Yuna¡¯s eyes now was Joan¡¯s red eyes as if they were holding back tears.

    ¡± What rtionship does Dn have with Lo ¡®s wife ? ¡± Yuna asked .

    Joan looked at Yuna sharply ¡°You don¡¯t need to know na, this is my household problem. Even though you are my best friend since childhood, you can¡¯t know everything about my love story¡± said Joan firmly.N?velDrama.Org owns this.

    Yuna just stared cynically at the man in front of her, it was useless if Yuna asked this even though 100 times. Because the man always held on to his stance, nothing could shake his belief.

    Joan kept staring at the window, monitoring his wife¡¯s every move. This time he refused to enter the room, because there would be a big fight between Joan and Liza.

    The man could only stare at every caress Liza gave to Dn who was in a critical period.

    ¡± Lately I ¡®ve been too arrogant Li , thinking that you arepletely mine , even though the only thing that has been beside me all this time is your body but not your heart , ¡± Joan thought .

 21. Faint

    Joan was still staring at the window faithfully, she had been standing there for more than 30 minutes. Unlike Yuna, the woman was already in a sitting position because her legs were starting to hurt, plus her irritation with Joan made her want to stay away from the man.

    Joan was shocked when she saw Liza who was in the room fell to the floor.

    Without thinking, Joan just barged into the room.

    ¡± Liza dear ¡± Joan shook the body of his wife who was unconscious .

    ¡± Liza what are you doing ? ¡± Renata said as she gently patted Liza ¡®s cheek .

    Joan looked at Renata with a straight face, Renata stared back with a sharp gaze.

    ¡°So you are the one who ruined my daughter¡¯s rtionship with Liza¡± thought Renata who already knew that the man in front of her was

    Joan ignored the presence of the middle ¨C aged woman , the man immediately carried Liza bridal style and quickly left the room .

    ¡°Why is your wife, Ar?¡± Yuna asked panicked, she didn¡¯t see what happened when Liza fainted because she was busy ying her cellphone.

    ¡± He fainted because he was too tired ¡± replied Joan as he sat his wife in one of the chairs in the waiting room in front of the room .

    Yuna sat beside Liza, she made her shoulders as Liza¡¯s headrest.

    Joan opened his jacket and put the jacket on his wife¡¯s body, who was only wearing a thin t-shirt.

    Joan fumbled into Liza¡¯s pants pocket. The man breathed a sigh of relief after finding Yuna¡¯s car keys in his pocket.

    ¡± Here Na ¡± Joan gave the key to Yuna .

    ¡°You¡¯re going home alone, aren¡¯t you?¡±

    Yuna shook her head ¡°It¡¯s okay Ar, after all I¡¯m not a child who needs to be escorted everywhere. The woman chuckled a little at the end of the sentence.

    ¡± Do you want to take your wife home Ar , do you not want to be treated here ? ¡± Yuna asked when Joan had returned to hold Liza .

    ¡°No, ma¡¯am, I¡¯ll order a private doctor to take care of him at home¡± Joan replied, he really didn¡¯t want his wife to be treated at the same hospital as Dn. What¡¯s more, what happened the other day happened at the hospital, he just didn¡¯t want Liza to remember the past.  that bad .

    Yuna nodded in agreement, now she started to stand up from her seat and started following Joan¡¯s steps to the parking lot.

    Arriving at the parking lot, Yuna first helped Joan to put Liza into Joan¡¯s car. After that she went straight to the area where her car was parked.

    Joan started to step on the gas pedal of her car leaving the parking area which was still quiet.

    The man repeatedly turned to the side, towards Liza who was still in a state of unconsciousness.

    ¡°Is Dn that important to you Li?¡±

    ¡°You don¡¯t even care about the safety of our baby-to-be¡±

    ¡°Is what I¡¯ve done so far not enough to make you love me Li?¡± Asked Joan who didn¡¯t get the slightest response from the woman sitting beside him.

    Joan roughly wiped the tears that fell down her cheeks, during this new life she received a massive rejection from a woman. Even though out there there are still millions of people waiting in line to get love and affection from her.

    Joan looked back at the beautiful face .

    ¡± Looks like I have to take you away from this country so you can forget Dn and live happily with me and our baby ¡± Joan muttered as she looked alternately at Liza ¡®s face and at the woman ¡®s stomach .

    Joan looked back at the street that seemed to be getting crowded, the man drove his car at high speed.

    15 minutester the car driven by Joan was parked in a beautiful and luxurious house which is her residence.

    Joan immediately carried his wife after getting out of the car. The gate guards began to run towards the Master.

    ¡°Miss why sir?¡±  Ask one of the guards.

    ¡°Yes, how can it be like this?¡±  Add another guard.

    ¡± He seems tired , please call doctor Ririn ! ¡± Joan shouted to one of the guards .

    Joan quickly brought Liza into the room.  He immediatelyid Liza¡¯s body down with the help of E and Tia who were already very worried about the condition of her youngdy.

    ¡°El, please change Liza¡¯s clothes!¡± Joan eximed after opening the jacket worn by his wife and that¡¯s when he saw that the shirt worn by his wife was a little wet, maybe it was rained on me when I ran from the parking lot.

    ¡± Good sir ¡± E replied as she bowed her body .

    Joan immediately came out of the room , actually he could change his wife ¡®s clothes . But he was afraid he could not contain his lust after seeing the body .

    The man sat down on the sofa, his hands reached into his pants pockets to take out a cellphone.

    He opened the chat application and sent a short message to Yuna.

    To : YunaN?velDrama.Org owns this.

    So, please don¡¯t share it with anyone, including my parents. I¡¯ll exin everything to you when I¡¯m ready. And thank you for your help.

    After finishing sending the message to the contact , Joan ¡®s fingers returned to send a message to a different contact .

    To : Dafa manager

    Daf, please find the best doctor to cure Dn¡¯s illness. If you have found the doctor, meet me at home!  ¡±

    Joan breathed a sigh of relief after sending the two messages, the man nned to cure Dn¡¯s illness first because he also felt guilty for this incident. He also didn¡¯t want Dn¡¯s illness to make his wife always worry.

    Even though Joan doesn¡¯t like Dn in any way, she just wants Liza, who she loves, to be happy without any guilt.

    This time Joan would relent.  No matter how jealous he is of the rtionship between his wife and Dn who still love each other.  Because the most important thing for Joan is to see her woman happy even though she has to feel unbearable pain.

 22. Dream

    Pov Liza

    I was really shocked when I found myself lying with the IV tube attached in my hand. I held my head which felt very dizzy, I tried to remember some events before I closed my eyes unconscious.

    Now I really remember that previously I was in the hospital seeing Dn ¡®s condition .

    Then who brought me to this house?  These questions just popped into my mind .

    I looked around in all directions, the contents of this room were so quiet there was no Joan or E and Tia.

    I roughly pulled the IV that was connected in my hand , with a staggered body I walked towards the door .

    kreek

    Before I had time to open the door , the door immediately opened revealing a man with a straight face .

    The man looked at me with a very intense gaze. He immediately pulled my hand roughly towards the bed.

    Bruck¡­

    Joan dropped my body very hard, luckily she dropped me onto a soft mattress so that there was no hard impact that would harm my fetus.

    ¡± What else do you want to do now huh ? Do you want to see that bastard again ? ¡± Joan snapped at me really hard , her hand looked like she wanted to punch me a few times , but it seemed like she was trying to hold it in .

    My tears just dripped down together with my body starting to tremble with fear. From a young age I always experienced this kind of thing when someone was violent to me.

    Panic disorder is a disease that I have suffered for 20 years. This disease has urred to me since I was 5 years old, more precisely when I saw my mother kill the woman who was loved by papa.

    Joan lifted my face with both hands. She bluffed trying to kiss me forcibly. I kept avoiding the kiss.

    ¡± Please stop rejecting me ! ¡± Joan snapped . Now the man started to lock me with his burly body .

    ¡°What are you going to do sob¡­ sob¡­¡± I said with sobs.

    The man held my face so as not to turn to the side, he tried to straighten my face towards the front so that I could continue to look at his face.

    ¡± Is the person in your heart still that man , is he the only one who can get your heart ? ¡±

    I nodded slowly . I ¡®m just trying to be honest , but I did not expect Joan to be so hysterical to hear all my statements .

    ¡± Did all the things I did for you mean nothing ? ¡± he asked .

    ¡± What you gave me was only your treasure sis , while Dn gave me love ¡± I answered without lying .

    que¡­.

    Joan threw a very hard p.

    I cried again while holding my cheek which felt very sore.

    Joan moved her body away from me, she sobbed as she banged her hands against the wall, it wasn¡¯t just the wall that was the target. All my skincare that was on the dressing table also became her tantrum.

    The sound of broken ss from the skincare container immediately caused a stir in the room.

    ¡± Joan is enough !!! ¡± I shouted when I saw my husband was about to m all the things in the room . Unmitigated the man had even mmed his workptop which cost tens of millions because it was a limited editionptop .

    Joan stopped the action.  Looks like his body was getting tired. The man sat down using the wall as a support for his body. Blood from his hands began to flow due to the impact of the wall and the ss shards that hit his smooth hands.

    I could not bear to look at my husband in such a state , I tried to approach him even though my body was still shaking with fear .

    I sat down to position my body with his body. I buried my head on his shoulder.

    ¡°I¡¯m sorry, right now I still don¡¯t love you¡± I said softly.

    Joan smiled sarcastically ¡°If you can¡¯t forget it, then I¡¯ll really take you to a ce where he can¡¯t go.¡± Joan whispered sounding like a threat.

    Joan pulled me into her arms, she stroked my hair lovingly.

    ¡°Honey, do you know what loneliness really means?¡±  Ask Joan .

    ¡°No, what does that mean?¡± I asked again.

    ¡± The real loneliness is when the body is with us , but the heart is somewhere ¡± My husband replied softly but really pierced my heart .

    ¡°I will give you time to forget Dn, the limit is until our child is born¡± Joan said after releasing her arms from my body.

    ¡°What if I haven¡¯t forgotten it until that day?¡±  I asked quietly.

    Joan was silent for a moment , her eyes filled with tears again after thinking about something .

    ¡± I will divorce you ¡± he answered with tears in his eyes .

    ¡± But I will not let you see our child , let alone bring him to live with you ¡± threatened the man .

    I shook my head giving him a sharp look ¡± I ¡®m the child ¡®s mother you have no right to take him from me ¡± I argued .

    Joan smirked ¡± You are the mother of the child , but I am the father . The person who gave him the body ¡± Joan threatened not to budge .

    I can not control my emotions at this time , my hands immediately grabbed my husband ¡®s cor .

    ¡°Don¡¯t ever take that child away from me!¡±  My threats were only met with a cynical stare from him.

    ¡°DON¡¯T DREAM!¡± he answered.

    ¡± If you do not want to lose the child , then forget about the man immediately before I change my mind , I never halfway in doing anything ¡± threatened Joan .

    I lowered my hand in resignation , I was really scared of this man in front of me . Joan had everything , taking custody of my child would be as easy as turning her palm over for her .

    ***

    Liza opened her eyes slowly, for a moment her eyes narrowed to see a man who was lying beside her.

    Yes, that man is her husband, Joan Arkan Rivenno. Liza¡¯s eyes searched all directions, the woman felt very strange when she looked at the window that was already pitch ck.

    ¡± Howe it ¡®s night already ? ¡± Liza said her eyes afraid that her eyes were wrong .

    The woman looked at the dressing table.

    ¡± It was scattered on the floor ¡± he mumbled when he saw the skincare that had been thrown by Joan on the floor was now still neatly lined up on the dressing table .

    ¡± My hand is still infused even though I pulled it out earlier , ¡± he muttered again after seeing the infusion still stuck to his hand .All content is property ? N?velDrama.Org.

    Liza massaged her temples that felt dizzy , she remembered several times the events earlier .

    ¡± Was it just a dream , I feel like when I woke up the weather was still bright , if it ¡®s not noon , it must be afternoon ? ¡± Liza thought very hard remembering what happened earlier .

    If it wasn¡¯t a dream, then why did the situation in this room turn out to be neat for a moment, then how could hee back to bed with the infusion attached to his body.

    ¡± Is it possible that Joan hit me on the head until I fell unconscious again ? ¡± thought Liza .

    ¡± Ah no way ¡± Liza shook her head to brush away the thought .

    ¡± Eh are you awake ? ¡± Asked Joan who had just woken up from her sleep .

    ¡± Hmm ¡± replied Liza while looking at her husband strangely .

    Joan changed her body position into a sitting position.

    The man put his palm on Liza¡¯s forehead.

    ¡± Is your fever still high dear ? ¡± Joan asked with a sweet smile .

    ¡°No,¡± Liza answered simply.

    ¡± Thank goodness , I was really surprised , saw you passed out for hours ¡± exined Joan .

    ¡± Did I faint from when ? ¡± Liza asked to make sure .

    ¡°About more than 6 hours dear, just since I brought you from the hospital¡± Joan exined

    ¡°That means I don¡¯t wake up at noon, right?¡±

    ¡± No dear you are unconscious , even Doctor Ririn does not know how to wake you up ¡± Joan replied with a sad face .

    ¡°Then how do you know that I went to the hospital to visit Dn?¡± Liza asked without further ado.

    ¡°Yuna¡¯s car has GPS installed, that¡¯s why Yuna came with me to look for you¡±

    ¡°Aren¡¯t you angry when I visit Dn?¡±

    Joan shook her head while showing her sweetest smile ¡± It¡¯s okay to be angry ¡± Joan replied, the man was trying not to look jealous in front of Liza.

    It¡¯s true, it¡¯s all just a dream. Joan couldn¡¯t be jealous to hit me like in my dream. Liza thought.

    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Dn¡¯s condition is getting better now, and after he is fully recovered I will send him abroad to get the best treatment there¡± said Joan which made Liza instantly feel very relieved and happy.

    Joan is actually not willing to do that , but she has to take responsibility for making Dn like that . If only she had not snatched Liza from Dn , maybe her illness would not recur like it is now .

    Liza hugged the man ¡°Thank you, I thought you would be angry and even divorce me¡±

    Joan returned the hug ¡°No way, I¡¯m already too busy with you hehehehe¡± The man said while chuckling to hide the pain in his chest.

    ¡± You can do it ¡± Liza pinched the man ¡®s waist .

    ¡°You¡¯re bad,¡± said Joan.

    ¡± It ¡®s better to be evil than your rag cake . ¡± Liza stuck out her tongue mocking Joan .

    ¡°Luckily you¡¯re sick Li, if not I¡¯ll take you to the bathroom¡± Joan threatened with a perverted smile.

    ¡± What do you want me to do in the bathroom huh ? Do you want to harass me again ? ¡± Liza asked while squinting one eye .

    ¡°Idih really when I harass you Li?¡±

    ¡± Since our first meeting , when we made sidedek ¡± Liza pointed at her stomach .

    ¡°That¡¯s not harassment Li times¡±

    ¡± So what ? ¡±

    ¡°Rape¡± replied Joan innocently.

    ¡°Kamvret¡± Liza said with an annoyed tone. The woman pinched Joan¡¯s stomach very hard making Joan wince in pain.

    ¡°You pinched it, honey, your hand is still being infused, then it wille off again.¡± Joan tried to let go of Liza¡¯s hand, which was still faithfully pinching her sixpack stomach.

    ¡± Well, it¡¯s a pity that your torn bread has decreased by one ¡± Liza chirped which made Joan ruffled his wife¡¯s hair in annoyance.

    ¡± You better rest again , tomorrow mom and dad will visit you ¡± said Joan .

    ¡± Do they know that I ¡®m sick ? ¡± Liza rolled her eyes .

    ¡°Yes, I already told them, in fact, Mamah almost fainted when I heard you were sick¡± said Joan.

    ¡± Seriously , why do you even tell the hell ¡± Liza was getting annoyed with her husband ¡®s behavior .

    ¡°Because I¡¯m afraid there¡¯s something wrong, that¡¯s why I tell you¡±

    ¡°But I just fainted¡± said Liza.

    ¡± The one who sleeps can die right away Li , especially if you have been unconscious for hours ¡± replied Joan .

 23. Good Mother-in-law

    A middle ¨C aged woman who still looks very beautiful and elegant began to enter her son ¡®s luxurious house .

    Auris immediately hugged her son warmly .

    ¡°Mommy misses you dear, howe you¡¯re getting more handsome, hehehehe¡± Auris praised apanied byughter that could be heard clearly in Joan¡¯s ears.

    ¡°This is the medicine you asked for¡± Auris handed him a packet of medicine,st night Joan called Auris to ask for a powerful medicine to relieve nausea for his wife. Unexpectedly Auris actually brought the medicine directly, even though Joan was the one who would buy the medicine herself.

    ¡± Thank you , even though Joan did not ask Mama to buy this medicine ¡± said Joan after receiving the medicine package .

    Auris just smiled sweetly, he patted his son¡¯s shoulder.

    ¡°It¡¯s okay, dear, just think of this as love from mamah for future grandchildren¡±

    Joanughed, and so did Auris.  Now the two of them started walking side by side towards the living room.

    Joan invited Auris to sit down, while she went to the room to bring Liza to the living room.All content is property ? N?velDrama.Org.

    Liza who was looking at her reflection in the mirror immediately stopped her activities when she saw her husband was already in front of the bedroom door.

    ¡± Mamah hase ¡± said Joan , the man walked over to Liza .

    ¡± Is my face not too pale ? ¡± Liza asked while showing her face in front of Joan .

    ¡± It ¡®s a bit pale , but still beautiful , ¡± Joan said with honesty .

    ¡± Yes , I ¡®ve used the powder first , ¡± Liza sat back down on the chair in front of the dressing table .

    ¡± If you use powder it will be paler dear , because your skin is bright white ¡± Joan took the powder that was being held by his wife . He then put the powder back in its original ce .

    Joan took Liza¡¯s body forcibly, she didn¡¯t want Liza to not feel confident to meet Auris. Joan really liked Liza¡¯s natural and perfunctory appearance, since Liza was pregnant, she became insecure, very different from herself who is still an actress.

    Liza could only surrender without giving any rejection, Joan carried her slim body in bridal style to the living room, where her mother-inw was waiting for her.

    ¡± Oh my goodness , is your pain so bad that you can not walk dear ¡± Auris covered her mouth with both hands when she was surprised to see the arrival of her son inw and son .

    ¡°No, Joan doesn¡¯t want Liza to be tired, that¡¯s why I carried her¡± said Joan reassuring her mother, the man immediately sat Liza¡¯s body on one of the sofas next to him and Auris.

    Liza just looked at her husband with an annoyed face. If only her mother-inw wasn¡¯t here at this time, maybe Joan¡¯s face would be the victim of her ws.

    ¡± Honey are you still feeling nauseous ? ¡± Auris rubbed the top of her daughter ¨C in ¨Cw ¡®s head very gently .

    Liza shook her head with a smile that continued to stick to her thin lips ¡± It¡¯s better, it¡¯s better thanst night ¡± Liza answered.

    Last night Liza had to go back and forth to the bathroom because she was constantly nauseous, her stomach also felt very sick.  Joan didn¡¯t even sleep because she had to take care of his wife, the man was very afraid if there was a problem with the fetus that was being conceived by Liza.

    Auris breathed a sigh of relief ¡°You have to be strong, honey, pregnancy is not easy. A mother¡¯s toughest struggle is when she was pregnant for 9 months and gave birth with difficulty.¡± Auris hugged her daughter-inw warmly.

    ¡°I¡¯m scared,¡± Liza said quietly.

    ¡± Afraid why dear ? ¡± Auris wrinkled her forehead .

    ¡± I ¡®m afraid I can not be a good mother for this child ¡± Liza rubbed her stomach which was still t .

    ¡°Honey, don¡¯t say it like that, I¡¯m sure you can be a good mother, so please believe in yourself!¡± added Joan who saw fear haunting his wife¡¯s mind.

    ¡± Li , listen to mama , okay ? ¡± Auris lifted Liza ¡®s thin chin to focus on staring at her .

    ¡± Even though Mamah is not the one who gave birth to you , but I promise you , I will always be there to apany you ¡± Auris pulled Liza ¡®s body back into her arms , Liza ¡®s sobs began to be heard clearly by Auris and Joan .

    Auris is very aware of Liza¡¯s fear, the woman may have experienced severe trauma due to her parents who were always strict and never gave her affection to Liza.

    ¡± Liza calm yourself ¡± Joan rubbed his wife ¡®s back .

    Auris gave a signal to Joan to let Liza cry out all the pain she had been hiding alone.

    ¡± Liza dear , from now on do not keep your problems alone , Auris ¡®s mother will always be there for you son ¡± Auris continued to rub her daughter ¨C in ¨Cw ¡®s back hoping to give her some peace .

    Joan was just silent with teary eyes , her heart was like being stabbed by a dagger to see her idol again dissolved in sadness .

    For about 10 minutes Liza buried her head on Auris¡¯s shoulder.  His eyes had been so sore that he had been shedding tears ever since.

    ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I can¡¯t control myself¡± Liza wiped her tears roughly.

    ¡± It ¡®s okay dear , I understand why ¡± Auris just smiled showing a row of white teeth .

    ¡± Are you okay dear ? ¡± Joan asked , the man immediately handed Liza a ss of water .

    Liza just nodded then drank the water until there was nothing left.

    Joan kissed his wife ¡®s forehead , the man continued to stare at Liza ¡®s beautiful face without stopping .

    It seems that the only thing that can make you stop crying is Dn. Joan thought.

    Besides being afraid that I can¡¯t be a good mother to our child, I¡¯m also very afraid that in the end I can¡¯t be a good wife for you, Sis. Liza thought.

    Liza and Joan nced at each other.  Joan pulled the corners of her lips trying to keep a smile on her face in front of the two women she loved.

    Unlike Liza, her expression is full of anxiety, fear, but on the other hand she is happy with the presence of a little angel in her womb right now.

 24. Dylanéˆ¥æªš Return

    Today is exactly a month after Dn left the country for treatment.

    For a month Liza could not contact Dn ¡®s mother because her cell phone was confiscated by Joan . The man put his wife under house arrest , even just for a walk to the house yard had to be apanied by Tia and E .

    ¡°Arghhhh ¡­..¡± Liza screamed very loudly while throwing a small stone into theke behind her house.

    ¡± Non , do not stress too much , poor baby will be disturbed ¡± said Tia to stop the youngdy ¡®s action .

    ¡± That ¡®s right , ¡± Liza agrees with Tia ¡®s opinion , now she starts to rx her mind and sits on a chair in front of theke .

    ¡± Are you bored at home ? ¡± E asked who started to sit down beside Liza .

    Liza is a person who does not skyrocket, never distinguishes a person¡¯s status including E and Tia, Liza considers them as a friend.

    ¡°Yes La, I¡¯m bored at home all the time. It feels like there is no life¡± Liza exhaled angrily.

    ¡°Master, you asked Miss to go to the mall for shopping, but she refused, that¡¯s why she couldn¡¯t leave the house,¡± said Tia, remembering that Joan had freed Liza to leave the house just for shopping, but Liza refused because shopping was only for her.  a waste of time , nowadays it is modern , if you want to buy something you can do everything online .

    Liza was silent, Tia¡¯s words just now made here up with a n that could allow her to get information about Dn.

    ¡± You two apany me shopping , well , there are some maternity clothes that I want to buy but they are not in the online shop ¡± said Liza after getting up from her seat .

    Liza stepped into the house followed by E and Tia who followed behind her.

    Liza went into her room to change her clothes , as well as E and Tia who entered their respective rooms doing the same activity as Liza .

    Less than 15 minutes they were all out of their respective rooms .

    ¡± Ohdy , she is really beautiful . ¡± E ¡®s eyes lit up at the radiance of Liza ¡®s beauty who is currently only wearing casual clothes .

    ¡°Thank you, you guys are also beautiful,¡± Lizaplimented back.

    ¡± Well let ¡®s go now . ¡± Liza led the way out of the house followed by E and Tia .  The white Alphard car was parked in front of the house , the three of them got into the car .

    ¡± Do you want to go straight to the mall ? ¡± asked Pak Dito , who was sitting in the driver ¡®s seat .

    ¡± No sir , let¡¯s stop at the Luxury Apartment first , because my friend wants to take over my work contract in various advertisements ¡± Alibi Liza , she can¡¯t tell the truth because Dito and E and Tia are people under Joan ¡®s control .

    ¡± Okay non ¡± Pak Dito started to step on the gas out of the luxurious gate of the house .

    During the trip there was no conversation, they were all busy with their own activities, Liza focused on staring at the window seeing every scene that the car passed.  Meanwhile, E and Tia are busy ying their cellphones for selfies and then posting their photos on their social media.

    30 minutes have passed, the white Alphard car is now starting to stop in front of a luxurious apartment.

    ¡± You just wait here okay ¡± Liza said before getting out of the car .

    ¡± Is it okay to go in alone ? ¡± Tia asked to make sure .

    Liza shook her head and smiled faintly ¡± It ¡®s okay , my friend is really good ¡± he said and got out of the car very carefully .

    The slender-legged woman began to walk with slightly elerated steps down each aisle.

    Luckily Dn ¡®s apartment is on the first floor , so Liza no longer has to take the elevator and jostle with many people .

    Ting¡­. Ting¡­.

    Liza pressed the bell button for Dn ¡®s apartment , the woman kept pressing the bell button because she couldn¡¯t get an answer from inside at all .

    Ting¡­. Ting¡­.

    Liza stomped her foot in annoyance, could it be that Dn is still being treated abroad, but it¡¯s been a month and it hasn¡¯t healed yet, or not¡­

    Liza shook her head to get rid of all the negative thoughts.  His eyes lit up when he saw someone familiar to him appear from behind the door .

    As usual Dn ¡®s face looks very masculine , although his hair is a little messy , does not reduce the level of handsomeness he has .

    The man formed a smile on his lips , he did not make any sound , just stared at Liza who was the same as silent .

    ¡± Are you okay Lan ? ¡± Liza asked awkwardly , the woman was afraid that Dn would not want to see her again .

    ¡± As you can see , I ¡®m fine ¡± replied Dn with a rxed expression .

    Liza nced at Dn from top to bottom , the man looked fine , healthy and fit .

    ¡± Do you want to just stand outside Li , do you not want toe in ? ¡± asked Dn who was already furious because the woman had only been standing in front of the door all this time .

    ¡± What do you want ? ¡± Liza went straight into the apartment ahead of Dn , while Dn first closed the apartment door and locked it . Dn was very afraid that the man who was already Liza ¡®s husband would just barge in .

    ¡± What do you want to drink Li ? ¡± Dn started to take a ss in the kitchen which is attached to the living room .

    ¡± Just mineral water Lan ¡± offered Liza .

    ¡°Okay¡± Dn raised his thumb towards the woman who was sitting on one of the sofas in the living room. The man began to fill the empty ss he took earlier with water from the dispenser.

    Dn immediately returned to Liza with a ss of mineral water.

    ¡°Tumben Lo drinks mineral water, usually if it¡¯s not juice, tea or coffee¡± Dn protested, the man really knows Liza who really hates drinking mineral water that tastes nd, the woman prefers drinks that have a taste, when she¡¯s bored with sweet drinks  , then he will rece it by drinking lemon water without sugar which tastes very sour but refreshing and can detoxify the body.

    ¡± Yes and I ¡®m pregnant , so I have to drink lots of mineral water and reduce caffeinated drinks ¡± Liza said sluggishly .

    Dn looked into Liza¡¯s eyes ¡°Is your husband nice to you, Li?¡±Content bel0ngs to N?vel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

    For a second Liza looked at Joan¡¯s face with an indescribable look, she then turned her gaze to another direction.

    ¡°Yes he is really good, he really cares about me¡± Liza lowered her face, she felt bad for leaving Dn just like that, her thoughts were only hatred and disappointment that was left in Dn.

    Dn lifted the woman¡¯s chin, so she focused on her ¡°I just want to know a lot about your life now, I just don¡¯t want you to live a miserable life after marriage¡±

    DEG ¡­ DEG ¡­.

    Liza¡¯s heart was beating faster than usual, her eyes made contact with Dn¡¯s eyes, bringing back the feeling that this month seemed to have disappeared from her life, her heart came back to life after being numbed by Joan¡¯s attitude that always wanted to have her regardless of her emptiness.

    Liza could not hold back her tears , her tears just flowed down her cheeks .  Actually he didn¡¯t want to show his sadness again in front of Dn but what could he do, his heart already felt very painful if he had to face every situation alone.

    Dn wiped Liza¡¯s tears, the man was very sure that Liza¡¯s new life would not be as smooth as Rivenno¡¯s family business. Previously Dn was really disappointed with the woman, he thought that Liza and Joan were cheating behind his back, but his estimation was wrong after being told by Zea¡¯s cousin  Liza, that Liza and Joan were almost betrothed by her family, but because Liza refused, Joan rebelled and impregnated her.  He was relieved that Liza did not give his heart to that man .

    Dn pulled Liza¡¯s body into his arms, asionally he kissed her forehead.

    ¡°Don¡¯t worry I won¡¯t let you suffer Li, I will always be there for you, I love you, Li¡±

    ¡± I ¡®m sorry Lan , I left you without saying a word , this must be unfair to you , I am also forced and for the sake of the baby in my womb ¡± Liza said softly while holding her stomach .

    ¡°If on that day you told me that you were pregnant, how could I rece Joan to be responsible for your pregnancy, I am willing to be a father for the child you are carrying¡±

    Liza shook her head slowly ¡± No, I don¡¯t want you to be responsible for something you didn¡¯t do at all, ENOUGH THAT FUCK MAN IS RESPONSIBLE¡± Liza said by emphasizing her words at the end of the sentence.

    ¡°To this day I have never been willing and not epted the fact that the woman I love is already in the hands of another man, a month ago I fell into a deep depression because of this problem Li. For a second my mind never escapes all things rted to Lo,  Memories of the two of us always ring in my mind even though I¡¯m sleeping ¡± exined Dn exining his troubled feelings .

    ¡°I¡¯m sorry Lan, I¡¯m really an asshole, mentally disabled, I¡¯m not good for Lo, maybe that¡¯s why God even destined me to marry Joan, not Lo¡± Liza held her head, feeling dizzy thinking about all the things she had gone through with Dn  , long memories are like embedded in the memory of his brain .

    ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll ept your apology as long as it¡¯s on one condition.¡± Dn held up his index finger.

    Liza¡¯s forehead wrinkled ¡°What conditions Lan?¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t ever ask me to forget you, because I will still be faithful to wait for you even though my hair is gray and white.¡± Dn looked very fragile, his eyes reddened when he said that.

    Dor ¡­ Liza ¡®s heart felt like it was shot by a bullet , is that man stupid , why love a woman who already belongs to someone else , in the end her heart will obviously be hurt .

 25. Have Both

    Joan stretched her body muscles after tired of working. Today there are many documents that she has to sign at once .

    The man leaned his head on the chair that he sat every day while he was working , asionally he closed his eyes while massaging his dizzy head .

    He closed his eyes again after remembering something , his hand quickly took the cellphone which was ced beside the pile of files .

    The man immediately pressed the green application and made a phone call with a contact named my dear wife.

    Dret ¡­ Dret

    The woman on the other side immediately picked up the phone when she felt her phone vibrate earlier.

    ¡± Hello dear ¡± Joan greeted with a friendly tone .

    ¡± Yes by ¡± Liza answered tly , the woman took her bluetooth headset which had been stored in her jeans jacket pocket. That woman often carried her bluetooth headset everywhere , especially when she was driving her own car .

    Liza immediately connected the call through the bluetooth headset to make it easier for her to do other activities, namely choosing clothes for her baby-to-be.

    Yes, Liza is currently at the Mall apanied by E and Tia. After stopping for a while at Dn¡¯s apartment, Liza quickly rushed to the Mall so that her meeting with Dn today would not be known by anyone, especially her husband, Joan.

    ¡± What ¡®s wrong ? ¡± Liza asked tly after putting her headset on her ear .

    ¡± You are angry , why are you so indifferent ? ¡± Joan asked , Liza was not usually that cold to her for the past month .

    ¡°No, I¡¯m just surprised that you call during working hours, even though usually at this hour you¡¯re always busy¡±

    ¡± It ¡®s not working hours yet , but because Dafa is tired , I and her take a break first , hehehe ¡± Joan started to chuckle , actually it was not Dafa that was tired .

    ¡± Are you still at the mall , honey ? ¡± Joan asked curiously , E had previously reported to her that they were going out to shop .

    ¡± Yes by , do you know what I am choosing now ? ¡± Liza asked , her question really did not make sense .  Joan is not a psychic , how could the man know what his wife is choosing .

    ¡± I don¡¯t know , you are silly dear ¡± Joan couldn¡¯t help but smile at his wife ¡®s behavior .

    ¡°Wait, I¡¯ll take a picture¡±

    Check¡­.

    Liza immediately sent the shots to Joan .

    ¡± Are you choosing baby clothes , honey ? ¡± Joan was again made curious by the woman .

    ¡± Yes , it ¡®s funny , right by ¡± Liza was very happy after seeing the scene in front of her . For a moment her feelings for her mother began to appear instantly .

    ¡°It¡¯s funny, but it¡¯s too fast, it¡¯s a shame if you prepare it from now on even though it¡¯s still 7 months away.¡± Considering that his wife¡¯s gestational age has just entered the second month, of course Joan doesn¡¯t agree if she has to prepare all the equipment for the baby from now on.  also the gender of the baby.

    ¡± Yes , you ¡®re right , but I really want to buy it now , can I ? ¡± Liza said pleadingly .

    ¡± Hmm , just buy what you like ¡± Joan relented , she could not possibly refuse her wife ¡®s wish .

    ¡°It¡¯s cool, thank you by¡± Liza was very satisfied, she smiled happily choosing the dress. Actually, it wasn¡¯t because of money problems that made her have to beg Joan, her personal money was even enough to buy the entire mall she was currently visiting, but she just  wants to be a pious wife who always asks her husband for approval every time he does something.

    ¡± Do you choose for a baby boy or girl ? ¡± Joan asked on the other side .

    ¡± I chose it for a baby boy ¡± Liza replied as she continued to browse the clothes that were considered the cutest for her future baby to wear . The woman really wanted a baby boy , so she was looking for clothes for a baby boy .

    Actually, baby boy or girl doesn¡¯t matter to Liza, she will ept whatever God has entrusted to her. It¡¯s just that the trauma makes her a little afraid of having a baby girl, the woman is afraid that her baby girl will have to feel the suffering she has felt since she was young.

    Liza and Joan ¡®s current rtionship is only one ¨C sided love . Liza could leave Joan one day when she felt that she could never truly love Joan .  Maybe the history of the story of Liza¡¯s parents will repeat itself and her future child will feel the consequences of her parents¡¯ divorce.  It would be nice if the child that Liza gave birth to would be a boy , so that she could be stronger in dealing with all suffering whenpared to girls who can only shed tears when they are in pain .

    ¡°Are you sure the baby you are carrying is a boy?¡± Joan asked in an intimidating voice.

    ¡± Sure ¡± Liza answered confidently .

    ¡°Do you expect the baby to be a girl ?¡±

    ¡± Baby boy or girl does not matter , as long as your mother is hehehe ¡± Gombal Joan made his wife furious .

    ¡± You are really cool, uncle ¡± Liza pouted in an annoyed tone .

    ¡°I¡¯m asking seriously by, do you want a girl or a boy?¡±

    ¡± I like both of them dear , for me baby boy or girl does not matter . After all we can not decide ¡± replied Joan , this time she said her words with serious tone , wisdom and full of appreciation .

    Hearing the answer from her husband, Liza felt grateful because Joan did not demand things that were very difficult to predict. Usually other conglomerate families prefer to have male offspring so that she can continue the family business. It seems that Joan is indeed different, the man loves Liza  Just the way you are .N?velDrama.Org owns this text.

    Why are you not someone I can love Sis?  That question just popped up in Liza¡¯s mind.

    On the one hand, Liza wants to love Joan with all her heart, but on the other hand, there is still a heart she must protect, namely Dn. Dn and Liza agree to continue to love each other, even though Joan is already in Liza¡¯s life.

    Should Liza defend both at once?  Or should one person be sacrificed so that the other two people don¡¯t get hurt?

 26. Whatéˆ¥æªš With Him?

    LIZA POV

    I really wonder why my husband¡¯s attitude is so different tonight, he is more cold, even though this afternoon he was still fine when he called me at the mall.

    I approached my husband who was fiddling with hisptop that was on the desk .

    ¡± You mad huh ? ¡± I hugged him from behind .

    ¡± No ¡± Joan answered tly , she did not even look back to look at me , her gaze was still focused on looking for a file in windows .

    ¡± Are you angry because I bought clothes for our baby ? ¡± I raised my voice a little .

    Joan stopped her activities and then turned to me ¡± I ¡®m looking for an important file , DO NOT DISTURB ME ! ¡± he said emphasizing the word at the end of the sentence .Content bel0ngs to N?vel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

    The man refocused with his world of work , I just looked at him from behind , tears just flowed down my cheeks .

    How could I love him, even he loves his job more than myself and his own flesh and blood. During this month my husband is always busy with his work, leaving me from morning untilte at night. Never once did he take special time for me, on holidays he prefers  to gather with his family to y golf , have breakfast together and talk about other important things that do not escape thepany and the business they run .

    I am really tired of this life , abundant money can not rece his position as my husband who should always be there to apany his wife in any case .  the attitude of Joan and her family, eleven and twelve with my parents, made money the most important of all.

    Ah , I really really miss Dn and his warm and loving family . If I could turn back time , I would choose to marry Dn as soon as possible even though he is not ready because of his illness .

    Back when I came to Dn¡¯s house for the first time, we agreed that we would get married after Dn¡¯s illness waspletely healed, approximately 1 year ording to the procedure set by Professor Jason, a doctor who is very skilled in curing such diseases.

    I tried to hold back the great vibrations in my body, my chest felt tight holding back tears without a sound. It¡¯s been 10 minutes I stood frozen behind him, but he didn¡¯t care about me at all.

    ¡°Dad¡± I called softly.

    ¡°Yes¡± he answered without looking at me.

    ¡± If this child is born , we just divorced ¡± I said which instantly made the man startled as he turned his body towards me .

    ¡± What are you talking about ? ¡± he asked with a sharp look .  His jaw hardened , he clenched his fists like someone who was holding back his emotions .

    ¡°I want a divorce after this child is born, sob ¡­ sob ..¡± The sound of crying that I had been holding back broke instantly.

    Joan shook her head slowly ¡± No , I will never divorce you ¡± Joan held both of my arms , her cold demeanor suddenly turned into concern .

    ¡°Don¡¯t be like this, you¡¯re pregnant, don¡¯t think like that, that kind of thing just stresses you out.¡± The man kissed my forehead several times.

    I immediately pushed him away from my position ¡± DON¡¯T HAVE TO BE ATTENTION ¡± I snapped which made him instantly furious .

    He smiled sarcastically as he looked away ¡± Oh so you want Dn to pay attention to that ? ¡± He asked which sounded like a joke .

    ¡± CRAZY YOU ¡± I was so annoyed, I immediately threw a file that was on the table onto his shoulder width of about 50 cm.

    ¡°How was it, the meeting went smoothly, didn¡¯t you? Are you happy to see him again after a month of not seeing him?¡±

    que¡­.

    I pped Joan¡¯s cheek until it left a red mark. The man didn¡¯t care about my rude attitude to him, he just looked at me intimidating.

    ¡°How long have you been like this huh? I saved the life of that jerk because I wanted to see you happy, living without guilt. But what¡¯s the proof huh, you actually cheated on him behind my back¡±

    Really, I don¡¯t understand how the man found out about my meeting with Dn this afternoon. Did E and Tia tell him, but it seems impossible, they don¡¯t even know whose apartment I went to.

    ¡± Why shut up , do you wonder why I can know this huh ? ¡± the man snapped as he continued to bring his handsome face closer to mine .

    Cups¡­.

    The man kissed my forehead, his attitude was really strange. His expression was still sharp, but it seemed he was still trying to contain his emotions.

    Instead of scolding me , Joan gave a different kind of attention than usual .

    The man started to hold my hand ¡± Auntie must have finished preparing dinner , let¡¯s eat now , let ¡®s eat now , honey ¡± The man immediately pulled my body into the dining room without waiting for my approval .

    I just kept quiet and didn¡¯t say a word, because I was sure that Joan would do something like this to stop the two of us fighting.

    I started to sit in one of the chairs next to my husband , as usual we only ate alone because the household members and the guards ate separately in a special dining room for them .

    I started to fill rice into my husband¡¯s te, I still served him even though we were fighting, somehow I had to keep doing my duty as a wife.

    ¡°Don¡¯t eat too much rice, honey¡±

    ¡± A little more ¡± I added a little more rice to his te .

    ¡± Too much baby ¡± Joan protested when the rice te was in front of her eyes .

    ¡± To be strong , you work continuously every day , you need a lot of calorie intake ¡± I said .

    ¡± Well , ¡± Joan answered resignedly , my husband started to take his own side dishes ording to his current taste .

    The two of us started to eat dinner which was a bit awkward, because my husband was still not moving.

    ¡± Sis Sarah has got a recement for the Brand Ambassador for theunch of her new ne ? ¡± I asked trying to lighten the mood .

    ¡°Not yet¡± he said after swallowing the food that had been chewed finely in his mouth.

    ¡± Poor sister Sarah , it must be hard to find a recement ¡± I said full of guilt , I stopped my eating activities because my appetite just disappeared .

    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, you¡¯ll get a recementter.¡±

    ¡± What if I still be his BA dear ? ¡± I asked trying to persuade .

    ¡°No, you¡¯re pregnant, honey, it¡¯s better if you stay at home and take care of your health. Don¡¯t worry about anything else dear, your health condition hasn¡¯t fully recovered yet, plus your gestational age is still very vulnerable if you do tiring activities.¡±  sullenly disapproved of his decision.

 27. Trying to be a good husband

    JOAN POV

    Iid Liza¡¯s body slowly on the bed. After our dinner, Liza asked me to apany her to watch her favorite drama. We watched the drama together in the living room but I didn¡¯t think that the woman would actually fall asleep on the sofa.

    I covered Liza ¡®s body to cover my shoulders , I looked at my wife ¡®s face , guilt resurfaced at me at the same time , I really can¡¯t imagine how devastated I would be in the end if Liza really asked for a divorce .

    If you only look at it from Liza¡¯s point of view, surely everyone will say that I am the cruelest, even though I¡¯ve tried to be the best. But it seems that in Liza¡¯s eyes I¡¯m just a jerk who only makes him a woman who serves and gives me children. Maybe Liza thinks that I have never given enough love and attention like a man in general, who is always faithful to apany his wife.

    Every day I also want to go home faster so I can apany him, but whatever my responsibility in thepany is really very heavy, I have to handle all the hundreds of files every day. I even bring some unfinished files home because if everything is finished at the office then  I can¡¯t go home at all.

    A month ago, after the third day of our marriage, I asked Papa¡¯s permission to temporarily leave my duties. I was nning to go on a honeymoon with Liza for a few weeks, but Papa refused to even throw a trophy at my head, my forehead hurt because of what happened that day.  .

    Papah is a temperamental person , if he is angry , he is not half ¨C hearted , he may be killed on the spot right away .

    shback on

    I started to enter papa¡¯s work room apanied by mama who followed behind me.  Before entering this room, I first asked permission from Mamah and luckily Mamah was understanding, giving me permission to go on my honeymoon abroad for a few weeks.

    Mamah started to sit next to papah who had been focusing on reading a book.

    ¡± Honey , Joan wants to talk to you about something ¡± Mamah said to wake up papah who was not aware of my arrival .

    Papa began to stop his activities and turned to look at me who was still standing in front of the door. To be honest, I didn¡¯t dare ask Papa for permission because he would be very angry if I let go of my responsibility for thepany. There was an incident that I can never forget when I was just  joining to take care of thepany, at that time I left the office to meet a friend I had not seen for a long time, without papah¡¯s approval. As a result papa was very angry with me and beat me out.

    Since that day I have always obeyed Papa¡¯s words, I was also used to his temperamental attitude, but behind his cruel attitude, Papa just wanted to encourage me to be the best, sessful and meless man.

    ¡± What ¡®s the matter Joan , why did youe here ? ¡± Papa said interrupting my thoughts .

    ¡°Ummm, that¡¯s it¡± I said stuttering.

    ¡± I want to leave thepany for about a month , ¡± I said boldly .

    Papah started to stand up from his seat, he began to approach me with his intense gaze.

    ¡°Where are you going huh, to leave thepany¡¯s responsibilities for that long?¡±

    ¡°I want to take Liza for a honeymoon abroad, Daddy, don¡¯t worry Sis Sarah is ready to change my position for a while¡± I said while wiping the cold sweat that wet my neck.

    practice¡­

    Papa took one of the trophies stored on his desk, without warning he immediately threw the trophy to my face.

    I held my forehead which felt a little torn, little by little blood began toe out of the wound.  I winced holding back the pain I¡¯m used to, this isn¡¯t the first time I¡¯ve been treated so cruelly by the person I call papah.

    ¡°Dear, calm yourself down!¡± Mamah screamed hysterically seeing papah¡¯s behavior ¡±N?velDrama.Org owns this text.

    ¡± How many times has papa forbade you , never leave your responsibility to take care of thepany , whatever the reason papa will never allow you ¡± Papah snapped as he chuckled .

    ¡°But dad, I just want tofort Liza, you know that my wife¡¯s condition isn¡¯t okay right now. She has to see something beautiful to forget the things that made her very depressed, especially since I was the main cause of her going through all the terrible things.  It¡¯s not fair to him. I beg you, please let me just this once, I just want to be a good husband to Liza, Dad.¡± I said as I raised my hands, pleading.

    Papa shook his head slowly ¡± No I will not , I do not like you using a woman as an alibi ! ¡± Papa said with full emphasis .

    ¡± Please papa , Sarah has agreed to take over thepany for a while ¡± I said trying to persuade papa .

    Papa did not heed my words, began to turn his back to me, the middle-aged man walked back to the sofa where he was sitting earlier.

    ¡± KEEP BEING PROFESSIONAL , THAT ¡®S THE THING THAT CAN ENCOURAGE YOU TO BECOME A GOOD HUSBAND ¡± Her scream echoed throughout the room .

    I was silent , papah ¡®s words really made me out of my mind to persuade the middle ¨C aged man . I immediately went home with a very disappointed state , my life would be threatened if it continued to be in a ce full of restraints .

    Arriving at home, Liza threw a lot of questions after seeing mee home injured.

    ¡°What¡¯s wrong with your forehead, honey?¡±  Liza asked with a very worried face. The woman ignored her eating activity which was stopped because of my arrival.

    ¡± Fighting with Dafa ¡± I answered a lie , I do not want Liza to know that this wound is a wound I got in order to try to make her happy .

    ¡°What¡¯s the problem? Howe you have a fight with sis Dafa?¡±

    ¡°There¡¯s no problem, Dafa just wants to reduce my good looks by one level, hehehe¡± I said with a small chuckle to make him believe.

    ¡± You guys are really ridiculous ¡± Liza was still wearing a sullen expression , the woman who was 10 years younger than me immediately asked me toe with her to the room , to treat the wound on my forehead .

    I feel so loved, when Liza treats me like that.

    shback off

    I alsoy down beside Liza , I slept sideways looking at the woman .  I stared intently at her beautiful face , pointed nose , beautiful curved eyebrows , thin pink lips coupled with a V ¨C shaped face , the face of the woman who was sleeping beside me was really very perfect .

    As soon as I thought back to our fight earlier , actually I did not want to discuss the matter with him about Dn , let alone to yell and hurt his heart , but whatever the power of my jealousy really can not be controlled anymore .

    When Liza called me while she was at the mall this afternoon, I was really angry because I saw that my wife¡¯s GPS location was previously in Dn¡¯s apartment.

    Unbeknownst to Liza , I have installed a GPS program on her wedding ring , so I can find out where she goes as long as she still wears the ring on her ring finger .

 28. Having lunch together

    LIZA POV

    I woke up from my sleep when the sun¡¯s rays began to enter through the window.  I looked at the clock that was kept on the nightstand on the left side of my bed.

    ¡°Oh my gosh, it¡¯s already 6 o¡¯clock¡± I said while stretching my muscles.

    I was very surprised when I saw that my husband Joan was still fast asleep, even though usually at this time he had to eat breakfast before leaving for the office.

    ¡± Honey , wake up ¡± I gently shook my husband ¡®s body .

    ¡± By already 6 o¡¯clock you will bete for his office ¡± I said back when the man did not want to open his eyes .

    Cup ¡­ cup ¡­. cup

    I repeatedly kissed his cheek to wake him up and sure enough he started to open his eyes little by little .

    When his eyes were fully opened he immediately smirked indistinctly when he saw the distance of my body which was very close to him .

    ¡± Why are you smiling like that ? ¡± I asked in an annoyed tone .

    ¡± It ¡®s nice to be kissed by a beautiful person ¡± he said as he walked to the bathroom .

    ¡°Gombal Mulu, hurry up and take a shower!¡±  I said in the same tone.

    ¡± Ready my dear wife ¡± shouted the man who was already in the bathroom .All content is property ? N?velDrama.Org.

    While waiting for her to do the bathing ritual, I turned to the walk-in closet room to prepare the suit my husband would wear. I always do this every day, even though my heart doesn¡¯t belong to Joan but my body is still his wife, so it¡¯s obligatory for me to serve all his needs as a wife.  a wife .

    I started to take a night blue coat along with pants of the same color, as usual I always choose a white shirt which is her favorite color if Joan really prefers white shirts, because it¡¯s easier tobine it with any colored coat.

    Finished with the three kinds of things , I switched again to find a tie that matched the suit I had chosen just now .

    My eyes locked again when I saw a tie of the same color with a white triangle motif.  I quickly took the tie to shorten the time .

    I immediately gave the suit to my husband who was still in the bathroom, as usual I always told him to change clothes in the bathroom, because I¡¯m not used to seeing it without wearing a single cloth.

    ¡± Just wear the tie outside , I ¡®m wearing it ¡± I shouted as I sat down on one of the sofas .

    ¡± Isn¡¯t it all Li ¡®s clothes are also wearing ? ¡± He shouted from inside trying to irritate me .

    ¡± Do not expect ¡± I replied in a teasing tone .

    I again remained silent , either because I was tired of screaming incoherently to serve him or because I was not in a good mood today .

    I just focused on stroking my stomach which was starting to feel a little full , I never imagined that I would end up being a mother , when my career was at its peak .

    ¡± Honey , what time is it now ? ¡± Joan asked who had juste out of the bathroom .

    ¡°Half-seven¡± I answered tly after looking at the clock in his cellphone which was lying in the corner of the sofa.

    I gave the cell phone with the apple logo to him , the man always keeps his cell phone carelessly because he often fiddles withputers orptops rather than ying with cellphones .

    ¡± Here I put it ¡± I immediately took the tie that had been held by him .

    I deftly matched the tie very neatly, I used to always do that to Dn when he had a performance event that made him have to wear a suit.

    ¡± Already by ¡± I said after making sure the tie was neatly attached .

    ¡°Thanks honey¡± he said as he kissed my cheek.

    ¡°Sorry dear, this morning I can¡¯t have breakfast at home, because at 7 I have a meeting with an important client so the schedule can¡¯t be postponed¡± Joan said quietly, the man started to take his briefcase and check all the equipment including the files that must be provided for the day  this .

    ¡± Huft ¡­ even though aunty already cooked your favorite food ¡± I let out an exasperated breath , very disappointed with my husband ¡®s answer .

    Joan stroked the top of my hair ¡°Yeah, sorry honey¡±

    ¡°Why did you wake up sotest night, did you stay upte again?¡±

    ¡°Yes, Li, I have a file that I haven¡¯t signed, so it¡¯s 2 o¡¯clock sleep,¡± said the man with a smile that continued to expand on his face.

    ¡°Well, if you don¡¯t want breakfast, drink milk first so you can get nutrition!¡± I started to pull Joan¡¯s body into the dining room, when she got to the dining room, I gave her a ss of milk that had been made by one of the household members in that luxurious house.

    Joan immediately gulped down the milk until there was nothing left.

    ¡± Until the office you do not have breakfast again , right ? ¡± I asked with a worried tone .

    ¡± No dear , my schedule is very busy today , at least there will be time to eatter in the afternoon . ¡± The man showed a row of white teeth , as if he was not carrying a heavy burden on his shoulders .

    ¡± How about this afternoon we eat together by ? ¡± I offered .

    Joan shook her head in agreement ¡°It¡¯s okay, honey, we haven¡¯t been out together for a long time, I¡¯ll pick you up at hometer!¡± The man started to ruffle my hair with excitement.

    ¡°No need, just let me apany you to thepany, you don¡¯t mind right?¡±.

    ¡± Noh , yes , I object to being apanied by a girl as beautiful as you ¡± he said , his fingers pinched my cheek again .

    ¡± Well I ¡®m going now dear , take care of yourself and please do not stress , ¡± he said while kissing my forehead lovingly .

    ¡± Yes by , you are also careful and do not get too tired ¡± I said as I shook my husband ¡®s hand .

    ¡± Yes dear ¡± he answered in a very soft tone , he did not forget to give a kiss on my stomach , greeted the little baby he was waiting for .

    ¡°You¡¯re also doing well in there, don¡¯t be naughty, don¡¯t let mommy get sick, daddy wants to go to work first to pay for you and mommy, honey,¡± The man stroked my stomach very gently.

    As soon as he walked away after waving his hand at me , I just stood staring at his back which was slowly disappearing from my sight .

    I went back to my room to just clean myself, after finishing with the morning bath ritual, I returned to the dining room to eat my breakfast voraciously, althoughtely I often feel nauseous, I still force myself to put food into my mouth, even though in the end  I¡¯ll throw up some more.

    Bing a pregnant mother turned out to be more difficult than I imagined, I used to think that pregnancy was just a change in the stomach getting bigger, when in fact a mother will always feel nauseous in the first trimester plus the second and third trimesters whose sacrifices are much heavier than the phase in the first trimester.  first trimester.

    However, my burden seems to be a little less when I remember Joan¡¯s sweet treatment of me, even though she is annoying sometimes because she is rarely at home.  But at least when he¡¯s at home, he always makes me feel a little relieved, the proof is that he never sleeps because he has to massage my waist which hurts a lot due to the dtion caused by the baby.

 29. Lunch Together Part 2

    LIZA POV

    Happy Reading¡­.

    I started to walk my feet into apany that was soaring high and wing at the sky. Today I was escorted by one of the drivers who had been sent by Joan to pick me up at hispany.

    I really feel ufortable when many pairs of eyes are looking at me .

    ¡± Eh , that ¡®s Liza , Mr. Joan ¡®s wife . ¡± Whispered one of the staff who was gathering with a bunch of other staff .

    ¡± It ¡®s really beautiful , ¡± added another staff .

    ¡± I never thought , it turns out that Liza is much prettier than on television , her face is already like Barbie , ¡± added one of the male staff while shaking his head in disbelief .

    ¡± I swear he ¡®s so beautiful , Joan ¡®s just that he got her pregnant out of wedlock ¡± said one of the female staff innocently , the womanughed as if she was mocking me .

    I was really furious to hear the gossip from my husband ¡®s employees , with annoyance I stepped back away from them .  I quickly took the elevator to the 30th floor , the highest floor which is a room reserved for the CEO only .

    In the elevator I met a woman who looked very attractive and looked good, I could predict just by the friendly look she gave me.

    ¡± Which floor are you going to ? ¡± I asked before pressing the elevator button .

    The woman did not answer, just gave me a smile. Immediately she stretched out her hand towards me.

    ¡± I ¡®m Aileen Bu , Joan ¡®s assistant , ¡± he said with a wide smile .

    I quickly returned his hand.  ¡± Oh Sis Aileen , I often hear about my husband ¡®s brother ¡± I answered awkwardly .

    ¡°Mom is so beautiful¡± heplimented while holding my arm.

    ¡± Sis Aileen is also beautiful , ¡± I replied , I quickly pressed the 30 button , so I could quickly get to Joan ¡®s room .

    ¡± Sis Aileen how long have you worked with Sis Joan ? ¡± I asked breaking the silence .

    ¡°It¡¯s been almost 10 years ma¡¯am¡± he said without removing the slightest smile on his sweet lips.

    ¡°It¡¯s been a long time, Sis Aileen, I¡¯m sorry, if you can don¡¯t call me mom, just call Liza¡± I asked very politely.

    ¡± But it ¡®s not good if I call her Liza ,ter Pak Joan will be angry again ¡± He said ufortably .

    I immediately grabbed Aileen¡¯s shoulder to reassure her.

    ¡°I won¡¯t, Sis Joan is an obedient person, she won¡¯t be angry, bro¡±

    I immediately stepped out of the elevator after the elevator had stopped at its destination, namely the 30th floor, followed by Aileen¡¯s sister who followed me behind.

    ¡°Let me show you the way Li¡±

    I nodded following Aileen¡¯s words, the woman with a height of about 160 cm immediately stood in front of me leading the way. I really don¡¯t know for sure where Joan¡¯s room is, because this is the first time I¡¯ve visited herpany.

    Knock¡­ Tock¡­

    Sis Aileen immediately knocked on the door of the room which I was able to confirm that it was my husband¡¯s room.

    ¡± Come in ! ¡± said the man in there .

    I immediately followed Aileen¡¯s sister, the man immediately smiled happily at me.N?velDrama.Org owns this.

    ¡°You¡¯vee dear¡± Joan said as he wrapped his arms around my waist.

    ¡°Yeah sorry I came a bitte¡± I said with a t expression.

    ¡°Uh, there¡¯s a newlywed,¡± teased the man who was standing beside the table, checking the files.

    The man I called Sis Dafa started to approach our position which was near the sofa, while Sis Aileen had already left the room and headed for the assistant¡¯s special room which was next to this room, after making sure I met Joan.

    ¡± It ¡®s already expired , Daf ¡± Joan red at the behavior of sister Dafa , who was flirting with me with her crocodile smile .

    It was natural for Joan to be upset when she saw Dafa¡¯s sister looking at me like that, because Dafa¡¯s sister had openly stated that she liked me in front of Joan on the night of a live wedding party.

    ¡± How about Li , Boss Joan is not the same as you , how many rounds did he ask for a month to marry you ? ¡±  Sister Dafa looked at us alternately with her intense gaze.

    Joan immediately followed Kak Dafa¡¯s head angrily ¡°Don¡¯t ask me what makes my brain travel, Daf, my wife is still innocent¡±

    Sis Dafa justughed after making her boss and best friend so upset with her .

    ¡± Come on ah dear , over time here it can burn your brain . ¡± Joan quickly took my hand and left the room leaving sis Dafa alone .

    Sis Dafa waved her hand at me, before I had time to wave her hand quickly, Joan held both of my hands so I wouldn¡¯t ignore a creature like Sis Dafa.

    The two of us walked down the halls of the room, Joan took me to a different elevator from the elevator I had taken with Aileen.

    ¡± This is my private elevator , I forgot to tell you to just take this elevator earlier ¡± He said guiltily .

    ¡°It¡¯s okay, there was only Aileen in the elevator, howe¡±

    ¡± Thank goodness I thought you were going to hang out with a bunch of other employees ¡± Joan shed her sweetest smile .

    ¡± No really , I saw the employees on the 1st floor , maybe they want to go to the canteen ¡± I thought , maybe they were just gathering to eat lunch in the canteen , because the clock showed lunch break time .

    ¡± Yes you are right dear , at this hour almost all of the employees go down to the first floor ¡± Joan smiled proudly as she ruffled my beautifully loose hair .

    ¡°Today you are very beautiful dear¡± Joan praised after watching my appearance from top to bottom.

    ¡°It¡¯s just okay¡± I said, it¡¯s true that today I don¡¯t look too shy, I only wear a knee-length ck dress whose model looks simple and not too crowded.

    Joan again took my hand out of the elevator after the elevator came to aplete stop on the first floor .

    We walked side by side like a normal couple , Joan ¡®s height reached 182 cm while I was 172 cm , of course it made us verypatible if we walked together .

    I hid my face behind my husband ¡®s broad shoulders , I really did not want to be the center of their attention anymore .

    ¡°What¡¯s wrong dear, are you ufortable with what they say?¡±  Joan asked when she started to hear whispers from her employees who were talking about Liza being pregnant out of wedlock.

    I just nodded in agreement , I did not change my position at all , I kept my face hidden on the shoulder that felt veryfortable .

    ¡°Don¡¯t listen to them, they really like to talk bluntly. Don¡¯t worry, tomorrow I will teach them a lesson¡± Joan threatened with her devilish gaze, I just didn¡¯t want to stop the action, yet I also felt hurt when they talked about me being pregnant out of wedlock.

    Joan took off her coat when we arrived in front of the lobby, she covered my head with her coat so I wouldn¡¯t get hot.

    ¡°No need By , I¡¯m used to getting hot in the sun anyway ¡± I refused trying to lower the coat that protected my head from the sun that afternoon.

    However , because Joan ¡®s strength was stronger than mine , the suit was still on top of me being held by the owner .

    ¡± Just obey , the weather is very hot , you will immediately have a fever , dear ¡± he said firmly in his position .

    I can only obey his words, I immediately got into the car that was parked in front of the lobby. After Joan made sure I was seated safely in the passenger seat, the man swiftly circled the direction to the driver¡¯s seat. Today we did go without a driver, yes the goal  Let¡¯s both have privacy.

    Seeing that I was having trouble putting on a seatbelt, the man first helped me put on what is better known as the seatbelt. After finishing with my business, the man quickly did the same thing to maintain safety while driving.

    He quickly stepped on the gas and left thepany . His hands skillfully yed the steering wheel while his feet were still faithful to the gas and brake pedals .  During the trip we did not talk a word , I looked away at the car window , to be exact looking at the streets that were already filled with vehicles passing by in the city .

    10 minutester the car was parked neatly in a fancy restaurant which was quite far from Joan¡¯spany.

    Joan again took my hand with her left hand, while her right hand was still faithfully holding the coat she had removed earlier.

    ¡°We have prepared your room, sir, please follow me,¡± said one of the waiters who had just approached us.

    ¡± Okay ¡± Joan replied tly , we also followed the steps of the woman who looked very neat .

    We also stopped in one of the VIP rooms, there were already various kinds of dishes avable at the table. Coupled with the music that also added to the romantic impression in the room that was reserved for the couple.

    ¡± I say goodbye first , just call if you need anything ¡± The waiter bowed his head , as soon as he walked away .

    Joan immediately closed the door of the room so that no one could interfere with her togetherness with me.

    I approached Joan who was still near the door, I brought my body closer to her, leaving some distance between us.

    ¡± You want to do it here ? ¡± He asked with a nosy look , it was certain that he thought that I would do what a husband and wife usually do .

    I looked at him sarcastically , my hands quickly loosened his tie so he could eat without the slightest disturbance .

    ¡± You are very confident , eat quickly ¡± I said as I sat down in a chair followed by him who started sitting across from me .

    This time Joan took her own food, I really don¡¯t know what kind of food she likes because there are so many menus on the table.

    ¡°Eat a lot dear, don¡¯t go on a diet too much, it¡¯s a pity that if our baby is taken on a diet it won¡¯t grow again¡± He said with a small chuckle, the man began to put the food he chose into his mouth.

    ¡°Yeah just calm down¡± I replied tly after swallowing the food that had been chewed perfectly.

    Joan brought her face closer to mine, as soon as she tucked a strand of hair that interfered with my meal. At first nce the man kissed my forehead with wisdom.

    ¡°Thank you for taking care of the child.¡±

    I looked at the man with a gaze that no one could interpret , I myself do not even know what feelings arise in my heart now .

    ¡± You ate a lot , did you not have breakfast this morning ¡± I ordered trying to divert the conversation .

    The two of us started to gette with our respective activities , this lunch together is a very rare moment for us to do .

    Every now and then I look at him, the man looks very handsome, I immediately thanked him in my heart for getting a man as good as him.

 30. What happened at Sarahéˆ¥æªš house

    Joan Pov

    After our lunch, Liza and I rushed to Kak Sarah¡¯s house to visit her who was sick.

    I first stopped at a pharmacy to buy some medicines that matched the disease my mother had mentioned over the phone.  Mamah and Papah were out of the country, so they couldn¡¯t visit Sis Sarah in person and only asked for me.

    ¡± Aren ¡®t you tired , honey ? If you ¡®re tired , I ¡®ll just take you home ? ¡± I asked when I just got home from the pharmacy .

    ¡°No, I¡¯m not tired at all. Besides, I haven¡¯t seen Sis Sarah for a long time,¡± he answered, it¡¯s true that thest time they met was when we were married on the night of our wedding, Liza and Sis Sarah were already close even though they had only met once. I think Liza  the person gets along quickly , anyone who is close to him will immediately feelfortable because he is a really humble person .

    I stepped on the gas again , leaving the yard of the pharmacy where I bought the medicine just now .

    My eyes focused forward looking at the street, I asionally looked to the side to see Liza who was busy ying with her cellphone, I don¡¯t know what she was doing on that sophisticated cellphone until she smiled inexplicably.

    I ignored it , there could be another world war if I got emotional and provoked it like the previous days .

    I just pretended not to know , reluctant to reprimand or just ask . I refocused on ying the steering wheel and increasing travel speed .

    7 minutester, the car I was driving was parked neatly in front of an elite housing estate. I took Liza¡¯s hand and together entered the house with the all-white design. I pressed the door password code, so I could enter the house without the owner knowing.  I want to make a surprise, because I invited my wife to y at her house.

    We were immediately treated to a view of the twisting staircase when we just entered the 2nd floor house. The design and interior are very modern and luxurious, it¡¯s just that it is very messy and looks like a broken ship. Clothes are scattered everywhere like a house that has been hit by a tsunami,  not to mention the kitchen is very messy, the dishes have even piled up.

    I don¡¯t know what Liza is thinking right now, that woman must have been able to confirm that her sister-inw is very dirty.

    ¡± This house is no different from a broken ship , right , honey ? ¡± I whispered , bringing my face close to his ear .

    Liza just nodded slowly with a small smile ¡± You know Sis Sarah is a very busy person ¡± she answered very wisely .

    ¡± Well honey you wait here first , I want to call Sis Sarah in her room ¡± I said goodbye , before that I sat Liza ¡®s body on one of the sofas on the 1st floor .

    I swung my legs up every step of the stairs to my sister¡¯s room which was on the 2nd floor.

    Before I had time to knock on her bedroom door, the woman hade out of there together with a man who was none other than Darren, her fianc¨¦. I don¡¯t know what the two lovebirds were doing in the room, never mind I don¡¯t want to know about adult rtionships.

    ¡°Sis, I¡¯ve brought medicine for you,¡± I said, handing a medicine parcel to a tall woman.

    ¡°Thank you¡± Sarah smiled at me.

    ¡± Liza is noting ? ¡± he asked , the woman quickly checked down to the 1st floor followed by Darren who continued to follow her behind .

    Honestly, I¡¯m very unhappy with my future brother-inw, she is a female yer, I¡¯ve seen her changing women several times. I don¡¯t know what my sister thinks, Sarah continues to defend her even though she knows how bad it is.

    I do not want to wrestle with my thoughts , with quick steps I followed those who had descended to the 1st floor .

    ¡°Oh dear Li, I didn¡¯t think you woulde here¡± Sis Sarah hugged my wife¡¯s body very happily.

    I¡¯m not jealous of them, but I¡¯m very ufortable seeing Darren¡¯s gaze, which has been staring at my wife without a single blink of an eye.All content is property ? N?velDrama.Org.

    ¡°Kellilipan just know the taste of Lo¡± I pouted in my heart.

    ¡± Li introduces you, brother Darren, your fianc¨¦, when you were at your wedding, howe he came home early, so he couldn¡¯t greet you ¡± Sis Sarah first introduced the man who had been watching her fun with Liza.

    Darren reached out his hand quickly my wife returned the outstretched hand. I immediately red at Darren because he had not yet let go of their outstretched hand.

    ¡± Let go of my wife ¡®s hand Ren ! ¡± I said very firmly .

    ¡°Sorry¡± he said with an innocent look on his face.

    ¡± You are much prettier in person , Li , ¡± said Darren with an ax ¨C style yboy smile .

    ¡°Thank you, bro Darren.¡± I don¡¯t know if it¡¯s because I don¡¯t feel good or something, Liza even ignores the masher by putting on her sweetest smile.

    I just looked at them with a cynical look , as well as Sis Sarah who could only resign herself to seeing the behavior of her fianc¨¦ who was far from loyal .

    ¡°I¡¯m a big fan of you Li, can I ask for a photo together?¡±  Darren asked as he took out his cellphone from his jacket pocket.

    Liza nodded slowly ¡± Yes sis ¡± he answered , Darren immediately pressed their positions together while embracing my wife , the man ¡®s hand quickly pressed the snap button on his camera application .

    ¡± That ¡®s enough ¡± I immediately distanced my wife ¡®s body from Darren .

    I wrapped my arms around the slender waist , I did not want Darren toe back to my wife .

    ¡± Sis, if you¡¯re okay, we¡¯ll both say goodbye to go home first ¡± I said to Sarah¡¯s sister.

    ¡± Yes , I ¡®m okay , why did youe home so early ? Don¡¯t you want to eat here first ? ¡± Asked Sis Sarah who immediately made meugh .

    ¡°Hahaha, your kitchen is like a broken ship, sis, how are we going to eat?¡± I teased which immediately made Sis Sarah look embarrassed.

    ¡± No sis , we ate before we came here ¡± said Liza confirming , that woman really can at least hurt other people ¡®s hearts .

    ¡°Okay then, but next time y here again, Li¡± said Sis Sarah. Back hugging my wife¡¯s body, the two of them intertwined their cheeks alternately.

    ¡± What if I do not hug Li ? ¡± Darren rags which immediately made me throw a punch in his face .

    Bruk ¡­ The man fell to the floor , my patience was really running out , I kept beating Darren ¡®s face until he was battered , the man started to fight me by hitting me in the face as well , as a result he made the corners of my lips torn .

    ¡± Joan , Darren , that ¡®s enough ! ¡± Sarah shouted , trying to stop our fist fight .

    ¡± Sis Joan please stop ! ¡± I stopped what I was doing when Liza stood between me who was getting ready to punch Darren again .

    Luckily he didn¡¯t get hit by me, my wife immediately pulled me away from Darren¡¯s position, she didn¡¯t want me to beat Darren again.

    Sis Sarah also did the same thing to her fianc¨¦, the wound on Darren¡¯s face was immediately treated by Sarah, as well as me who was treated by Liza.

    Liza continues to look at me with a disappointed look, the woman doesn¡¯t even pay attention to my words, it seems she is very angry because I can¡¯t control my emotions.

    ¡± Li forgive me ¡± I said , after he finished treating my wound .

    Silent , the woman was even reluctant to just look at my face . I lifted her face to want to look at me .

    I really feel very guilty for bringing back tears to my eyes, I quickly took Liza to the second floor to talk one-on-one, we left Sarah and the jerk who was still sitting downstairs.

    ¡± Liza I ¡®m sorry ¡± I said after we arrived at the balcony of the guest room .

    Liza didn¡¯t turn around, she kept her head down looking at the floor.

    ¡± Honey ¡± I said in a low tone , I slowly lifted his face so he could look at me .

    ¡± Why can¡¯t you change your attitude ? I don¡¯t like it when you beat people up , especially since Darren is your future brother ¨C in ¨Cw ¡± Liza looked at me with a cynical look .

    ¡± I just do not like it when I see him Close to you dear ¡± I said trying to exin calmly .

    ¡± REALLY WRONG , IF I GREAT MY OWN BROTHER ¨C IN ¨Cw ¡®s HUSBAND ? ¡± Liza snapped , which immediately made me emotional .

    ¡°I NEVER FORGED YOU TO GREAT ANYONE, BUT I DON¡¯T LIKE IT TO SEE YOU SMILING AT OTHER MAN, ESPECIALLY DILAN AND THAT FUCKING BOY¡± I replied no less vehemently.

    que¡­. Liza pped my cheek very hard, I don¡¯t know how many times this innocent cheek got pped again which of course caused red marks and pain.

    ¡± Do not bring up Dn ¡®s name , he has nothing to do with this , do not try to divert the conversation ! ¡± The woman said while chuckling in annoyance , her voice starting to subside quite a bit .

    ¡°Why, do you want to be angry because your favorite guy has something to do with this?¡±  I asked, unable to contain my emotions anymore.

    Liza beats my chest several times , it seems that woman really really wants to kill me now .

    ¡°That¡¯s why Li, so girls don¡¯t be too wee, please filter, don¡¯t treat all the boys, including Darren¡¯s kind of guy¡± I said without thinking.

 31. Fighting Again

    Liza quickly got out of the car with a very annoyed feeling, she ran a little leaving Joan who was walking behind her. Joan let the woman, reluctant to stop her. Since earlier in the car the two of them did not speak at all and looked away from each other.

    Liza walked towards the walk on closet , the woman took arge suitcase that was stored between therge cupboards .

    The woman put the clothes she needed for the next few days. After finishing packing her clothes, she immediately rushed out of the room past Joan who was sitting rxed on the sofa in their room.

    ¡± Where are you going ? ¡± Joan grabbed the woman ¡®s hand .

    ¡°Want to go home¡± Liza answered tly.

    Hearing the answer from his wife, Joan immediately wiped his face angrily, who knows what else his wife will do this time.

    ¡± Go home , this is your house ¡± said Joan while holding his wife ¡®s shoulder .

    Liza shook her head ¡± No ¡± Liza answered still with a straight face .

    The woman let go of Joan ¡®s hand violently , she quickly stepped back out of the room , but her steps stopped again due to Joan gripping her hand hard .

    ¡± You just stay here , let me go ¡± said the man , Joan immediately ran away from the house without bringing any clothes .

    He intends to live in his penthouse which is currently upied by his friend and manager, Dafa.

    Actually, Joan also doesn¡¯t want to do this, let alone leaving the house and leaving her role as Liza¡¯s husband. But it can¡¯t be helped, her rtionship with Liza is currentlyplicated and of course they both need time to calm their hearts and minds.

    On the other hand, Liza put her suitcase back into its original ce, she canceled her intention to leave this house. At this time she could only cry profusely in the room that felt quiet.

    The woman started ying with her cellphone and immediately made a call with a contact named Dn.

    The woman poured all her heart out to the person on the other side of the phone. She said that she was not feeling well and she wanted to return to Dn¡¯s arms like before the appearance of Joan who destroyed all future ns that had been arranged as beautifully as possible.

    But what this time, his life is even more messy than his dark childhood. I don¡¯t know what God has nned for him, he just wants to feel happiness even for a moment in his life.

    *****

    As with Joan , the man is still trying to be strong .  He is very sure that his rtionship with Liza can still be maintained , all he has to do now is give Liza time to refresh his heart .

    Joan started to enter a penthouse unit which was far from ordinary. The room looked very luxurious, beautifully designed and refreshing to the eyes.

    Joan waved her hand at Dafa who was in the dining room , eating her food voraciously . Joan started to approach Dafa who still looked confused by her sudden arrival .

    ¡± Hello boss , did youe here ? Where is his wife ? ¡± asked Dafa after swallowing the food he had chewed .

    Joan sat in front of Dafa, she was silent for a moment and chose to drink a ss of iced water that Dafa had prepared for herself.

    Dafa stared intently at his boss , and he immediately knew that his boss was having a problem .

    ¡± What ¡®s the matter ? ¡± Dafa asked without looking at Joan , the man was still focused on stirring the rice and vegetables on his dinner te .

    ¡± I had a fight with Liza Daf ¡± Joan answered quietly .

    Dafa immediately looked up, staring at the sad face in front of her. To be honest, she was concerned to see her boss¡¯ one-sided love story, but on the other hand she was also happy because her idol was not owned by any man, including Joan.

    Dafa is Liza¡¯s fan boy, he has idolized Liza for thest 5 years, all dramas and movies starring Liza have been watched repeatedly by him.  Daphne¡¯s room.

    Joan already knew that, which is why she didn¡¯t want her wife to be very close to Dafa, especially if they lived under the same roof in this penthouse.

    ¡± Boa was expelled ? ¡± asked Dafa jokingly .

    ¡± No , I just ran away by myself , because he was the one who wanted to leave the house but I forbade it , so instead I left the house ¡± Joan exined with an indescribable look .

    ¡°Oh¡± Dafa answered briefly, the man returned to focus on finishing his food.

    ¡± I will stay here for a few days , you do not mind Daf ? ¡± Joan asked asking permission .

    Dafa nodded slightly with a faint smile ¡°It¡¯s okay boss, I don¡¯t mind staying for a year, I¡¯m even d that the boss is here, it won¡¯t make my night as lonely asst night¡± said Dafa trying to make a joke to make Joan a little  feel amused.

    Joan was very disgusted by what Dafa said, what kind of gay people are they?  After all , Joan did note here to apany Dafa nights , but to calm a chaotic mind .

    Joan pped his forehead ¡± Oh my goodness , I forgot , I ¡®m here with Daf ¡®s clothes . Please take them to my house ! ¡± Joan asked by ying with her puppy eyes , Dafa was really disgusted to see her own boss .N?velDrama.Org owns this.

    ¡± I have a boss in my clothes , just put my clothes on first ¡± said Dafa with a mischievous smile .

    Joan red at the man, how could he borrow someone else¡¯s clothes, let alone Dafa¡¯s clothes, the yboy who doesn¡¯t know how many times he¡¯s yed with women.

    yboyhood in Dafa has been ingrained since childhood, due to his habit of changing women, Joan¡¯s good name is carried around, it is Joan who isbeled a yboy by the media, even though it is Dafa who often brings women to this penthouse, but the media thinks that  that all the women were Joan¡¯s toys.

 32. Go Meet Him

    Liza is ready to wear a in ck t-shirt and jeans that reveal the beauty of her long legs. Don¡¯t forget to wear a white hat to disguise her appearance.

    It was already 8 pm , ording to what he had agreed with Dn on the phone that they would meet at a ce in 30 minutes .

    Liza racked her brain , thinking of finding a way so that she could leave the house without being noticed by the household members and the guards who were still faithfully passing by doing their respective duties .

    Liza smiled happily when an idea popped up when E and Tia entered her room.

    The woman with a beautiful face quickly approached the two household members who were carrying trays containing dinner dishes plus a ss of pregnant women ¡®s milk , because Liza had note down to the dining room all this time .

    ¡± What ¡®s wrong Non ? ¡± Tia asked curiously , while E first kept the tray on a table in her employer ¡®s room .

    ¡± Please help me , I ¡®m going out tonight , can one of you rece me to stay in this room ? ¡± Liza begged raising her hands .

    E, who had just approached them, immediately refused firmly. ¡°We can¡¯t, Mr. Joan will be very angry,¡± said E.

    ¡°Yes, no, we are afraid of getting into trouble and immediately fired,¡± added Tia.

    Liza held E¡¯s hand and Tia assured them ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I will definitely be responsible if something happens that harms you¡±

    E and Tia looked at each other , finally they agreed to help the youngdy .

    ¡± It ¡®s okay , but non , do not take too long , we ¡®re afraid of being caught . ¡± Tia pleaded with fear on her face .

    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, broJoan won¡¯t being back home tonight, I¡¯m having a fight with her¡± Liza said to ease the fears of the two household members.

    ¡°Thank God,¡± said E and Tia at the same time.

    Liza repeatedly said thank you to the two women, Liza was quickly apanied by E out through the back door which is a door reserved for household members, the door was directly connected to the main road, while Tia was lying on her employer¡¯s bed, recing  Liza.

    Their n went perfectly even though it was almost discovered by one of the bodyguards, namely Mr. Ardo who almost knew Liza¡¯s disguise, luckily E was very smart, E said that the woman who was walking with her was her cousin who wanted to borrow money from her, so E purposely went out of the way.  This door was to take her home without being noticed by their young master anddy. Fortunately, Mr. Ardo believed in E¡¯s alibi, Liza managed to get out of the pce that felt like hell.

    Liza immediately took a taxi to a ce that neither her nor Dn had ever visited, they had purposely gone to a foreign ce for fear that Joan would tell someone to spy on them like when Liza met Dn at her apartment.

    Liza leaned her tired body, she held her stomach which had been rumbling because she hadn¡¯t eaten anything after lunch. To relieve her hunger, Liza chose to sleep and first asked the driver to wake her when she arrived at her destination.

    ¡± Boss ¡± Dafa ¡®s shout echoed throughout the room .

    ¡°What¡¯s wrong Daphne?¡±  Joan, who was swimming in the pool, immediately stopped her activities for a moment when she saw that Dafa had arrived with a suitcase.All content is property ? N?velDrama.Org.

    Joan had already told Dafa to get clothes and important files from her house. At first, Dafa refused, but because Joan offered her an additional bonus, Dafa quickly obeyed her orders.

    ¡± Sooo boss ¡± Dafa hangs up , his face looks very tense .

    ¡± So what , Daf ? ¡± Joan asked very curiously .

    ¡°I just took the boss¡¯s stuff from your room, I thought it was Liza who was sleeping but it wasn¡¯t the boss, E was sleeping on your bed,¡± Dafa exined in as much detail as possible.  Her whole body was covered with a nket. Dafa thought that Liza was sleeping. Dafa tried to approach the person she thought was Liza to ask where Joan¡¯s underwear was stored, because she couldn¡¯t find anything like that in the walk-in closet.  Dafa was very surprised after slowly pulling the nket covering the body , it turned out that the person was E , one of the troublemakers who often argued with Dafa .

    Joan shook her head , she really did not understand what was going on .

    ¡± What do you mean Daf , so where is my wife ? ¡± Joan frowned .

    ¡°I also don¡¯t know boss, I¡¯ve integrated E and Tia, they said Liza went out to meet someone, but they don¡¯t know where it is¡±

    Joan immediately opened her suitcase quickly and immediately took herptop from the suitcase.

    He also began to see Liza ¡®s current location from the screen of hisptop which was connected to a very sophisticated GPS that was nted in his wife ¡®s wedding ring .

    After finding out where his wife was , Joan quickly rushed to the ce apanied by Dafa .

    ***

    This is the ce where Liza and Dn met , they hugged each other apanied by the cool night breeze with the sound of the tidal waves as apanying .

    Liza burst into tears in Dn ¡®s arms . That woman was really very fragile , for him Dn was like a house where he died when he felt very tired from all the things that drain his energy and mind .

    ¡°And please take me away, sob¡­ sob¡­ sob¡­¡± Liza¡¯s sobs hardened again.

    Dn¡¯s chest felt very tight when he saw his woman again spilling drops of water that should be used as tears of happiness.

    Why did Joan make him miserable like this, even though he promised to make her happy?

    Argh¡­ it felt like Dn wanted to punch the damn man in the face.  If Joan had not appeared as the third person in the rtionship , maybe now Liza and herself would have been dissolved in happiness instead of suffering like this .

    Joan clenched her fists at the sight of a man embracing a woman from a distance away, Dafa tried to calm Joan not toe over and make a fuss again, Joan and Liza¡¯s quarrel would definitely not end and it would be even worse if Joan appeared in front of them.

    Joan tried to strengthen her heart , seeing her woman was hugging another man very tightly , in fact he had never been treated like that by the woman who was his wife .

    It turns out that the real loneliness is when you are with his body but not with his heart.  Joan muttered to herself.

    Continued¡­

    Who do you prefer Liza to?  Don¡¯t forget toment and like, bro.

 33. Fragile

    Dafa forced Joan to immediately return to the penthouse and let Liza enjoy her evening with Dn that night.

    Arriving at the penitentiary, Joan vented her anger, throwing everything she saw in front of her eyes, she couldn¡¯t control her emotions at all.

    ¡± Boss calm down boss ! ¡± said Dafa , who was still loyal to protect himself , hiding behind the door , so as not to be hit by floating objects thrown by Joan in any direction .

    Joan was silent , her body was getting tired after destroying the objects in its ce , the man started to sit down on the marble floor .

    Dafa started to approach the emotional man , he quickly gave him a ss of ice water to calm Joan down .

    ¡°Here boss¡±

    Joan immediately drank the water until the remaining half, she put the water back on a table.

    Dafa could clearly see Joan ¡®s gloomy face , her teary eyes and disheveled hair could indicate that the man was under a lot of stress at the moment .

    Dafa turned to look for something in the drawer beside the veryrge television , he took out a medicine bottle .

    Dafa took out a sleeping pill and immediately gave it to Joan, her boss always takes sleeping pills when she is facing a problem that makes her stressed.

    Joan drank the medicine with water afterwards, with a staggering body she headed to her room to rest her body.

    In an instant the man fell asleep in an instant turning to a dreand that could make him forget his sadness for a moment.

    ***

    The next day, Joan and Dafa went to the office as usual at half past seven. They went to the canteen first, because they didn¡¯t have time to have breakfast at the Tawang griya.

    Joan ate her breakfast menu which was different from the menu that was served to Dafa , knowing that she was a CEO so she had to be distinguished from her subordinates , including even her manager .

    Joan looked around the cafeteria after eating her food to the end , her eyes fell on a woman in feminine clothes who the other day gossiped about herself with Liza .

    Joan approached the woman and pounded the table, making the woman startled.

    The woman took a few steps back from where Joan was standing now, Joan looked at her with a sharp gaze, all the gazes of the people in the cafeteria were immediately fixed on the two of them.

    ¡± WHAT¡¯S YOUR NAME ?¡±  Joan asked while pointing at the woman ¡®s face full of disgust .

    ¡°A-nindya sir¡± the woman replied nervously, her body trembled at the sight of the fury of the most respected person in thispany.

    ¡°Today you too I¡¯m fast!¡±  Joan said which immediately made a change in the expression on the woman¡¯s face.

    ¡± What did I do wrong sir to be fired like this ? ¡± Anindya rolled her eyes .

    Joan smirked ¡± BECAUSE YOU DON¡¯T HAVE ATTITUDE ¡± Joan said emphatically .

    ¡± Now pack your things and leave thispany immediately , I do not want thispany to overshadow a dirty woman like you ! ¡± Joan said still with her deadly gaze .

    Anindya smiled crookedly listening to her boss¡¯s words ¡°Well, it¡¯s not that dirty, dad, because you¡¯re the one who impregnated someone else¡¯s child out of wedlock, I heard a lot of rumors saying that Liza never loved you at all, is it true, sir?  ?¡±

    Anindya ¡®s words really immediately re ¨C triggered Joan ¡®s emotions , the man immediately threw a p on the cheek of the woman in front of him .

    The employees who were in the canteen at that time really could not believe the rude behavior of theirpany CEO .

    Dafa went straight to Joan , grabbed Joan ¡®s hand who was about to p again for the second time on Anindya ¡®s cheek , a verypetent employee who has won several awards .

    ¡± Calm down boss , many pairs of eyes are watching this incident , do not cause problems that will make the boss very angry with the boss ¡± said Dafa warning .

    Joan lowered her hand ording to Dafa ¡®s words , she immediately returned to her room with still burning emotions .

    While Dafa was still in the canteen representing Joan apologizing to Anindya , moreover Anindya is an employee who is very much needed by thispany .N?velDrama.Org owns this text.

    Unbeknownst to Joan and Dafa, an employee who is Anindya¡¯s best friend, took a photo of the incident when Joan scolded and pped Anindya¡¯s face, the employee uploaded the photo to her social media which has quite arge following.

    Joan was screaming incoherently in her room, asionally she looked at her cellphone to see the wedding photo wallpaper of herself and Liza.

    ¡°Why Li, why did you do something that made me this angry?¡±

    ¡°I just want to be loved, is it that hard?¡±

    ¡± Is there no room for me in your heart , I just want to have your heart ¡± Joan muttered quietly .

    Joan wiped her face in anger, tears rolled down her cheeks again. She didn¡¯t want to get lost in this frailty, her hands started to reach for an office phone, she quickly made a call to her wife¡¯s number.  .

    Drettt¡­.

    ¡± Hello , who is this with ? ¡± asked the woman on the other end of the phone when the call was connected .

    Joan was silent, didn¡¯t make any sound. She was reluctant to answer the question asked by the woman, now she just wanted to hear Liza¡¯s voice which could make her emotions disappear instantly.

    ¡°Hello, who is this with?¡±  Liza asked again.

    Joan took a deep breath, she hung up the phone unterally.

    Brugh¡­

    He threw the phone roughly on the table. The athletic man sat back down on his work chair, he closed his eyes remembering all the things that really bothered his mindtely.

    His hands squeezed his chest which felt tight.  Fear immediately overtook him, the fear of losing a woman and also his position in thepany owned by his own family.

 34. The Spread of Scandal

    Dafa squeaked in annoyance when she saw that various news sites were filled with Joan¡¯s scandal of violence against a woman.

    ¡± Damn , it turns out that someone spread the news ¡± Dafa grumbled ring at Joan who was sitting leisurely watching television .

    Joan just smiled faintly , not a trace of guilt appeared on his handsome face .  He didn¡¯t want to bother at all because it was just such a small problem.

    ¡± Boss Lo is not afraid if there is trouble because of this scandal ? ¡± asked Dafa as he sat down beside Joan , they also talked privately .

    ¡°No,¡± Joan replied casually.

    ¡± You are crazy , if Uncle Ansel finds out about this news , I guarantee you will be killed by him ¡± threatening Dafa , he really knows Joan ¡®s father very well .

    Joan just chuckled softly with a smile that continued to stick to her sweet lips ¡± It ¡®s okay , I also want to die quickly Daf ¡± replied the man in vain .

    Dafa lightly hit Joan¡¯s head ¡°Don¡¯t make it up boss, remember that saying is a prayer¡±

    ¡°Well, just help. Amen, Daf.¡± Joan chuckled again.

    Dafa can only shake his head at his boss¡¯s absurd behavior, actually Joan is an outcast, it¡¯s just thattely she looks more like a person who isn¡¯t passionate about doing anything, to be precise, since she married Liza, Joan¡¯s attitude haspletely changed.  In the eyes of Daphne.

    Knock¡­ Knock¡­ Knock¡­.

    The sound of a knock on the door echoed through the building , and Dafa quickly got up from her rxed position to see who it was at this time of night .

    ¡°ALEX, KEY¡± Dafa rolled her eyes when she saw the arrival of the two very strong and sturdy bodies.

    ¡± What ¡®s the matter , why did youe here ? ¡± Dafa asked Ansel ¡®s trusted bodyguard .

    Dafa¡¯s thoughts were all over the ce, it seemed that the two men were ordered by Ansel to take Joan forcibly to the mansion where her boss¡¯ parents lived.

    And sure enough , Alex and Key immediately dragged out Joan ¡®s body like a criminal who would be put in a detention cell .

    ¡± I can walk alone ¡± Joan snapped , did not ept being treated so cruelly by two people who were not much different from her age .

    ¡± Sorry young master , we are only carrying out the duties of the leader ¡± Key and Alex lowered their faces , they were very afraid to see the deadly expression on Joan ¡®s face at this time .

    Joan started running in front of her, followed by Alex, Key and Dafa following behind. Dafa deliberately followed them, for fear that something might happen to Joan.

    Joan started to get into the car that was parked in Rubanah. Joan sat with Dafa in the back seat, while Key was in the front seat with Alex who sat in the driver¡¯s seat. Alex immediately stepped on the gas pedal and left the ce for Rivenno Mansion.

    ¡± Calm down Daf , I can solve this problem ¡± Joan patted Dafa on the shoulder , Dafa had been looking at her with pitying eyes .

    ¡± I ¡®m afraid this will be thest second I can see the boss . ¡± Without Dafa realizing it , her eyes started to tear up , this made Joan chuckle .

    ¡± It ¡®s okay , honey , do not be sad , your brother will be fine ¡± Joan caressed both cheeks as if tofort her lover .

    Both of them burst outughing instantly breaking the silence , Alex and Key just shook their heads at the behavior of the two lovebirds , they usually joked when they were in such a big problem .

    Rivenno¡¯s Mansion

    Arriving at the mansion , Joan was immediately nked by Alex and Key to Ansel ¡®s private room , while Dafa was waiting in the living room because Joan did not allow her toe in , the man did not want Dafa to be affected .

    Joan¡¯s body was immediately pushed to the floor by the two bodyguards, so she fell down and was currently in a prostrate position right at Ansel¡¯s feet.

    Ansel crossed his arms in front of his chest , his face reddened with anger that he had been trying so hard to suppress .

    Joan looked up at her beloved papa , the man started to wipe the cold sweat that was dripping down his temples .

    ¡± Are you satisfied that you cause trouble ? ¡± Ansel snapped while pointing at his son with a very deadly gaze .

    ¡± I ¡®m sorry papa ¡± Joan lowered her face reluctant to look at Ansel who was showing his dark side .

    Ansel smiled cynically at the words he was tired of hearing from his son ¡®s mouth .

    ¡± Sorry will not solve the problem , stupid ¡± Ansel traced Joan ¡®s head using his index finger .

    Joan¡¯s body shook violently, she was very afraid that her creator¡¯s prayer of wanting to die quickly would be granted.  The man closed his eyes for a moment to say a prayer to be given a long life in his heart.

    ¡± What are you going to do now ? ¡± Auris paused his sentence , first he looked at his son with a look that no one could interpret .

    ¡± All directors will hold a meeting to demote your position from CEO tomorrow morning ¡± said Ansel ring at Joan .

    Joan looked up again , she began to change her position to stand at the same level as the man she respected the most .

    ¡°It seems that this is the right time, Daddy, to make me resign from that highest position, it¡¯s better if it¡¯s better if you give that position to Sarah,¡± Joan exined without reducing her respect in the slightest, she never wanted such a heavy position, the CEO seat only made her ufortable  never had time to do the things he really wanted to do, especially having time to just be with his wife.

    Brugh¡­

    Joan ¡®s body fell to the ground again after being hit hard by Ansel ¡®s fist , which still felt very strong even though he was not young anymore .

    Ansel could not control his emotions , he continued to beat Joan blindly . Joan could only ept the blow gracefully even though her body was already battered , she did not want to bebeled a rebellious child for fighting her father .

    Ansel began to stop his activities when his body was tired, the middle-aged man stared intently at his son who looked like he was on the verge of dying, Joan¡¯s face was covered in bruises and blood that kept flowing, especially from the area of ??her nose which was hit hard by the puncture of her thigh.

    ¡± That ¡®s enough , Joan has given up , ¡± Joan asked with a staggered body .

    ¡± Never again will you ever test papah ¡®s patience , if you do the same thing again , papa will really kill you right away ¡± threatened Auris still with her sharp gaze .

    Joan could only nod at all the words of his father , the man started to sit down to rest his body that was already feeling dizzy , followed by Ansel who also sat down beside Joan .

    Joan held her head which felt bloody , the man began to wipe the fresh blood that was slowly starting to flow so as not to hit his eye area using the tissue provided on the table .

    Meanwhile Ansel started to drink his water to ease his anger and tiredness .

    ¡± What the hell is going on , why did you p that employee ? ¡± Ansel asked after he finished his drink , this time he started to speak nicely without any emotion .

    ¡± He said I was pregnant with someone ¡®s child , ¡± said Joan in a tone like a child who wasining to his father .

    Ansel smiled lopsidedly , his son was really shameless , did not know himself .

    ¡°Indeed, what was wrong with the employee, after all what he said was a fact not a hoax, it¡¯s just you who don¡¯t know yourself clearly you did it but still don¡¯t want to admit it¡± Ledek Ansel who made Joan even more annoyed, because her father didn¡¯t defend her  a little bit.

    ¡± Not because of that , Daddy , but he also said that ¡­¡± Joan paused her sentence , she couldn¡¯t possiblyin that the employee also said that Liza never loved her at all .N?velDrama.Org owns this text.

    ¡°What if?¡±  Ansel knit his brows together.

    ¡± If I was a jerk ¡± Joan lied , he did not want Liza to be brought into this problem , only Joan was on the verge of Death , he did not want to put Liza in the same position .

    que¡­.

    Joan¡¯s cheek was pped again by Ansel, whether it was the umpteenth time that his cheek hit a p from his father and Liza, it seemed that the cheek was only created to be pped over and over again by the people whom Joan loved.

    ¡°Dad don¡¯t like your attitude that never epts reality, as a result of your actions thepany¡¯s stock has dropped drastically and it¡¯s already bad enough to make sure that your position is also threatened, then what are you going to do now huh?¡± snapped Ansel, who had lost his way to solve the problem.  messed up the Rivenno Group¡¯s business.

    Joan just shook her head, she couldn¡¯t think at all in this situation, her head was very dizzy, her body was like someone who was dying now, but her papa still kept thinking about the family business and ignored his condition.

    Joan hoarsely called for Dafa to enter the room and take her body to the penthouse so that she could immediately get medical help there, the man refused to be taken to the hospital, because the hospital reminded him of the trauma experienced by his wife, Liza.

 35. Forgive Me

    Liza Pov

    It¡¯s been days I justy in bed while watching some popr Korean dramas, to be honest I feel very lonely because Joan is not at home, every day I miss her,tely my morning sickness is getting worse, every time I  spit out my stomach contents especially in the morning , the images of her came back to haunt my mind . I really miss the moment when Joan bromassaged my nape and made me feel a little relieved .

    Fortunately, there are several household members in this house that I can chat with and joke with, even I always join them when they y chess in their spare time.

    I got up from my lying position, asionally I looked at the frame containing my wedding photo with Kak Joan.

    ¡± Very handsome ¡± I mumbled as I carefully examined my husband ¡®s sculptured face .

    I didn¡¯t realize a smile curved the corners of my lips, this time I turned to stroking my stomach which was still t.

    ¡°Mommy misses your papa so much dear¡± I said with great affection.

    Knock¡­. Knock¡­ Knock¡­

    I was annoyed when I heard a loud knock on my door from outside , I thought it was E or Tia , because they kept asking me to eat something .

    I stepped my foot open the door with a cold face, my eyes widened when I saw the figure who had just knocked on my door.

    ¡°Uncle Daphne¡±

    The man smiled sweetly but for a moment he changed his expression like someone who was confused .

    ¡± What ¡®s wrong bro? ¡± I asked when I saw that Dafa browas silent .

    ¡°Can we talk Li?¡±Content bel0ngs to N?vel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

    I shook my head full ¡°Yes, bro, we can talk in the living room, it¡¯s not good to talk here¡±

    ¡± Okay ¡±

    The two of us walked hand in hand to the living room , Kak Dafa started to sit down on one of the sofas opposite my current sitting position .

    ¡°broDafa what do you want to drink?¡± I offered before walking to the pantry.

    The man shook his head slowly , indicating a refusal ¡± No need Li , I ¡®m not thirsty ¡± He declined gently .

    I sat back down in my previous position.

    ¡± It ¡®s about Joan Li ¡± he said quietly .

    ¡± What ¡®s the matter with him bro, is he causing trouble again ? ¡± I asked curiously .

    ¡± Yes Li ¡± said Kak Dafa which immediately made me roll my eyeszily .

    ¡± What else is he doing this time ? ¡± I raised my voice , knowing that since I was pregnant I became easily sensitive to the slightest thing .

    ¡± Joan pped her employee , have you never seen the news about her ? ¡± It was clear that Dafa bromade me widen in disbelief .

    I covered my mouth with my palms, I didn¡¯t expect the man who was my husband to be very good at finding trouble with everyone around him.

    ¡°What is it this time, bro, why can Joan be so rude?¡±

    broDafa massaged his forehead , the man looked very frustrated .

    ¡± He pped a female employee Li ¡± broDafa exined that made me get up from my sitting position .

    Emotions in my body are revolving again , I can confirm that my face is red by now , I try my best not to take my anger out on broDafa .

    I sat back down after feeling a little calm ¡°What¡¯s the reason bro, why did he p a girl?¡±

    broDafa smiled with a smirk ¡°Joan was very upset because the female employee said he was a jerk who impregnated other people¡¯s children out of wedlock, even the employee named Anindya also said that you have never loved Joan at all¡± broDafa started to unbutton one button on her shirt  because I feel hot.

    ¡°Then what news are you talking about, Dafa?¡±

    ¡°The news about lo Li¡¯s husband, Joan has been branded as a rude man in various media, Li¡¯s good name is on the verge of destruction, even his position as CEO is also in danger of being taken, because tomorrow morning there will be a meeting of directors and shareholders to overthrow Joan¡¯s position ¡±

    ¡°Whattt?¡± I can only express surprise, these few days I rarely use social media, let alone watch national news, it¡¯s only right that I miss the news about my own husband.

    ¡°Then where is broJoan now, bro?¡±

    ¡°Joan is at the penthouse, she is getting treatment there because she doesn¡¯t want to be taken to the hospital¡±

    ¡± broJoan is sick bro? ¡± I asked full of fear , I did not think that my husband was sick now .

    ¡± He was battered by Li because he was beaten so badly by uncle Ansel ¡± said broDafa quietly .

    I rolled my eyes, I couldn¡¯t believe what Ms. Dafa said ¡°Dad, it¡¯s impossible to do that, right broDaf, as far as I know, Papa is a very gentle person and from my eyes I can see that Papa really loves broJoan, it¡¯s impossible for Papa to do such a cruel thing¡±  My words refute the words of Kak Dafa.

    broDafa smiled lopsidedly ¡°Uncle Ansel is not as good as you can see, he is a temperamental person Li, don¡¯t you know that Joan is often beaten by him, just look at your husband¡¯s face, your husband¡¯s face is never smooth without the slightest scar¡±

    When I think about what broDafa said, it¡¯s true what she said, I always see the wounds on Joan¡¯s face, first when she was in the hospital and the second when she said that she had a fight with Dafa.

    ¡± bro, have you ever had a fight with Joan ¡®s brother , until Joan ¡®s forehead was injured ? ¡± I asked to confirm the truth of the events the other day .

    ¡°No, what¡¯s crazy, how could I dare to hit Joan, I still like Li¡¯s money, if I did that with Joan, it¡¯s certain that she would fire me right then and there, hehehehe¡± Rejected Ms. Dafa with a small chuckle at the end of the sentence.

    I nodded slightly, it turned out that Joan¡¯s words at that time were a lie, my eyes filled with tears, I couldn¡¯t ept it if Joan had been hiding her pain all this time.

    broDafa reached out and rubbed the top of my head ¡± Li , Joan is in dire need of Lo ¡®s hug right now , her condition is really down , her career is even on the verge of copse now .

    I didn¡¯t budge, at this moment I felt very angry and disappointed with him, but on the other hand I couldn¡¯t let him go through this difficult time alone, after all he is also the father of the fetus I¡¯m carrying at this time, I can¡¯t just abandon him.

    ¡± broDafa please take me to the penthouse now ! ¡± I asked broDafa , I stepped into the room to take the suitcase containing my clothes , before that I had prepared the clothes when I was going to leave this house .

    Unlike broDafa , the man was already waiting for me in the parking lot , I immediately ran into the car that would be driven by broDafa .

    During the trip there was not the slightest chat between us , my mind was busy thinking about my husband ¡®s current condition .  I¡¯m really sorry for this, if only at that time I didn¡¯t let him teach a lesson to the employees who called me that day, maybe now his condition is still fine.

    ¡°Forgive me Hubby¡± I said in my heart full of regret.

 36. Return

    Liza Pov

    I immediately entered one of the penthouse units located on the top floor which was the most luxurious unit among the other units.

    I went upstairs first before broDafa , because she had to park the car first .

    The elevator stopped right on the 30th floor , I immediately got out of the elevator and sure enough the design of the halls of the penthouse looked very luxurious , different from the design of the penthouse that I had seen before .

    I immediately opened the door code in the room unit ording to the number given to me by Ms. Dafa before I went up here.

    The door opened immediately , I was really surprised when I saw someone sitting on one of the sofas in the living room .

    broJoan looked at me with a familiar look, I often saw that expression when she was showing her disappointment at me.

    I immediately approached broJoan even though she continued to ignore me. I immediately sat beside her and quickly hugged her body which was covered with wounds.

    ¡°Are you okay?¡±  I asked as he lifted his face which had been looking away from the other side.

    ¡± Let it go ! ¡± Joan snapped as she threw my hand that was stuck to the skin of her face .

    The man immediately looked at me with a sharp gaze ¡°What are you doing here, are you tired of ying with Dn, Li?¡±  Joan¡¯s sneer made me feel as if I was crushed for a moment.

    I looked at him with a slightly annoyed look, for some reason I couldn¡¯t reply to his words this time, my mind was just busy listening to what I had just heard.

    How did he know that I had met Dn, did he witness our meeting directly?

    I ruffled my hair in frustration thinking about the answers to those questions .  My husband just red at me behaving like that.

    ¡°How are you, are you still sick, do you need to go to the hospital?¡±  I asked breaking the silence between us.

    ¡°It¡¯s pretty much better, there¡¯s no need¡± The answer was short, solid and clear.

    ¡°I¡¯m sorry¡± I said awkwardly, my hand reflexively stretched out towards him.

    My husband knit his brows, he really doesn¡¯t understand what I¡¯m doing right now, it¡¯s really very embarrassing, it seems this is a very old-fashioned way of apologizing in his eyes.

    broJoan turned her gaze back to Ms. Dafa, who had just entered the room.

    broDafa brought a suitcase containing my clothes that I will use to stay here for a few days, the three of us will not live under the same roof, to be more precise, I exchanged for a while with Ms. Dafa who also moved a few days to my husband and I¡¯s private house.

    ¡± I just keep the suitcase in Joan ¡®s room , okay , Li ? ¡± said Dafa brobefore continuing his footsteps towards a main room .

    ¡°Yeah, sorry for bothering you.¡±

    broDafa immediately rushed to the room which was quite far from where I was with my husband now, the room was located on the 2nd floor.

    I looked at Kak Joan with a look of disdain , the man was reluctant to look at me and only focused on staring at the big window with a nk stare , it is certain that he is currently thinking of a way to solve the problem .

    I brought my slender body closer to his burly body, asionally I rubbed his back without the slightest shame or guilt.

    The man just looked at me with his cold gaze, he didn¡¯t really pay attention to me.

    ¡°Did you treat your wound?¡±  I asked to which he only gave a small nod.

    ¡°Have you eaten?¡±  I asked again and still only responded with a nod.

    ¡°If you are hungry or need something, just tell me!¡±

    ¡± No need ¡± he answered in a slightly high tone .

    The man immediately stood up , was about to take a step to avoid me , but his footsteps immediately stopped , his body swayed for a moment , I do not know what happened to him .

    ¡± broJoan ¡± I immediately ran to him who had copsed on the floor .

    broJoan did not faint , but her condition is not fine at the moment , her body is very hot .

    ¡± Are you okay dear ? ¡± I asked not realizing the call .

    The man looked at me with his gaze that began to fade, I could see a smile curved on his sweet lips, until he finally passed out in my arms.

    I kept shaking his body while calling out to broDafa.

    ¡± broTER DAF , HELP ME , broTER JOAN FAILED ¡± I shouted echoing throughout the room .

    broDafa immediately appeared with a panicked face.

    ¡± Li what , why did Joan faint again ? ¡±

    ¡°I also don¡¯t know bro, but her body is very hot, I think her body is infected¡±

    broDafa immediately supported my husband ¡®s body , fortunately broDafa ¡®s body is taller than my husband ¡®s body , so it was not too difficult for him to take him to his room .

    Kak Dafa immediately threw my husband¡¯s body into therge and luxurious bed.

    ¡± Li Lo ¡®s husband , what do you eat , why is it so heavy ? ¡± Grandson Dafa , who objected after bringing a man who weighed the same as her body weight .

    I just smiled at the same time brohad the heart to see the sweat dripping down Ms. Dafa¡¯s body.

    ¡°broDafa knows it yourself, my husband¡¯s hobby is eating¡± I added, which was immediately returned by a grin from Kak Dafa.

    ¡± Li , I ¡®m afraid that something will happen to Lo ¡®s husband , I will call his personal doctor first so he can check , who knows if there is something wrong with his brain , because since he was beaten by Uncle Ansel , his attitude has changed a bit , ¡± said Dafa brofull of anxiety .

    ¡°Yes, bro, I agree with you, it¡¯s better if Joan is checked so we know her condition.¡±

    Ms. Dafa immediately fiddled with her cellphone to call one of the doctors trusted by the Rivenno family. After the call was connected, Ms. Dafa immediately left the room to chat with the doctor on the other side of the phone.

    Unlike me, who remained faithful in the room to apany my husband who was in a state of unconsciousness, I brought my face closer to his face which looked still handsome even though it was filled with wounds.

    ¡± Right now I do not love you bro, but my affection has started to grow and develop just like the fetus in my womb ¡± I muttered as I stroked my husband ¡®s face .Content bel0ngs to N?vel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

 37. Do something

    Happy reading ¡­.

    Liza had been pacing in front of the door waiting for the doctor who was still checking her husband ¡®s condition in the room .

    ¡± Li sit down , I ¡®m dizzy when I see Lo , the iron cake is broken ! ¡± said Dafa , who was already annoyed at the behavior of his best friend ¡®s wife .

    Liza ignored what Dafa said, her lips were busy chanting prayers for her husband¡¯s recovery.

    Liza immediately turned her attention towards the doctor who had just left the room.

    ¡± How are you doc ??, are you okay , Joan ? ¡±  Liza asked impatiently.

    Doctor Erka was silent for a moment with a gloomy face.

    ¡± What ¡®s wrong , doc , Joan , are you okay ? ¡± Liza asked again after seeing Erka ¡®s doctor ¡®s expression .

    ¡± Mr. Joan has a concussion , which is why he is often tired . I hope you two can take good care of him . ¡± Doctor Erka looked at Liza and Dafa in turn .

    Liza rubbed her face angrily , she really felt guilty for what happened to her husband .

    ¡°But it can still be cured, right, doc?¡± Dafa started to make a sound to ask his boss¡¯s personal doctor.

    Doctor Erka nodded slowly ¡± Of course , as long as he restspletely and does not do any work that can tire the brain , and for the problem of medicine I will immediately bring it tomorrow morning ¡± exined Doctor Erka very carefully .

    Liza breathed a sigh of relief , fortunately her husband ¡®s illness was not as bad as he imagined .

    ¡± Then I say goodbye to go home first Non , sir ¡± Doctor Erka said goodbye before leaving the room .

    ¡± Ok , thank you very much doc foring here at night like this ¡± Liza replied with a smile on her beautiful face .

    ¡± It ¡®s okay , you ¡®re wee , it ¡®s okay , anyways , it ¡®s also my job as a personal doctor for the Rivenno family . ¡± Doctor Erka gently patted Liza ¡®s arm .

    Liza just smiled in response to Doctor Erka ¡®s words , one minuteter Doctor Erka started to walk away from the luxurious and majestic room .

    Now only Liza and Dafa are left standing faithfully waiting for Joan toe to her senses.

    Liza put the back of her hand on her husband¡¯s head.

    ¡± It ¡®s still very hot bro¡± she said after checking her husband ¡®s body temperature which was still the same as before .

    Dafa, who was sitting on the sofa by therge window, couldn¡¯t help but snort in annoyance at the sight of her boss who was still unconscious.  All this time his mind was only focused on finding a way out to solve the problems that urred in thepany.

    Liza saw an anxious look on Dafa ¡®s face , so she chose to approach Dafa and leave her husband who was still lying on a bed a short distance away from where Dafa is now .

    Liza first took a ss of drinking water from the refrigerator in her husband¡¯s room.  He immediately gave the water to Dafa .N?velDrama.Org owns this.

    ¡± Here , have a drink , bro! ¡± Liza handed the ss to Dafa .

    ¡± Thank you ¡± replied Dafa with a smile growing on his sweet lips .

    Dafa immediately took a sip of the water until there was only half left , he put the ss back on a table where he was sitting .

    ¡± Are you thinking of a way out for the Company ¡®s problems ? ¡± Liza started to chat , solving the curiosity that had been haunting her for a while .

    Dafa didn¡¯t answer, he just looked at the woman with a look that Liza couldn¡¯t read. Disappointed, annoyed, and pitiful looks seemed to be mixed in that facial expression.

    ¡± I have a way out bro, I ¡®m sure this method will be very effective ¡± Liza showed her forty ¨C five spirit .

    Dafa immediately looked at the woman with a questioning look ¡± In what way Li ? ¡± The man started to raise his eyebrows .

    ¡± I will hold a press conference to distort the facts , bro, I will make it sound as if I was the one in the wrong in this matter and make Joan a victim for my mental disability ¡± Liza exined , who immediately made Dafa move from her seat .

    Dafa put his hands on his hips , his eyes started to sharpen ¡± Are you crazy Li , do you think Joan will agree with your way huh ? ¡± Dafa snapped refusing the crazy method proposed by Liza .

    Liza also stood up to align her body with the man¡¯s tall body ¡°I know this looks crazy, bro, but this is the only way to get my husband¡¯s good name back again and thepany¡¯s stock will definitely return to stability as before¡±

    Dafa was silent , Liza ¡®s words were also true .  Maybe one thing that is sacrificed can maintain dozens of other things, moreover thepany has be a life for Joan, because her boss has raised thepany so that it bes a bigpany that requires years of struggle.  just .

    ¡°But what about Li with other people¡¯s views on you, are you ready to take Joan¡¯s ce to be hated by thousands of people?¡±

    Liza nodded with conviction that had been ingrained in her mind ¡°I¡¯m ready, bro, after all, my career has been ruined since I was pregnant with Joan¡¯s child, so I¡¯m sure I won¡¯t regret all of that.¡±

    ¡± Then what about your womb , I ¡®m not sure you will be okay after the public knows that fact , will you be strong if you have to ept their bullying ? ¡±  Dafa asked again to make sure, the man was very sure that Liza would get things that could harm her and her fetus, after the press conference was held it was certain that Liza¡¯s fans would suddenly be haters.

    ¡± I¡¯m ready bro, I will not care about it ¡± replied the woman with a smile that disys a row of neat and very white teeth.

    ¡± Fine if that is your wish , but I can not guarantee that nothing will happen to you , but I will make sure to provide the best escort , so that you stay safe from public anger . ¡± Dafa slightly lowered her face , paying respects to the wife of her superior .

    ¡°Thank you bro, for allowing me to do this, but please don¡¯t let Joan know about this, because she will definitely forbid me¡± Liza asked in a low tone.

    Dafa nodded ¡°Okay I will do as you ask, so when can you carry out this n, Li?¡±

    ¡°When is the board of directors meeting held, bro?¡±

    Dafa seemed to think for a moment ¡°Erm¡­ if Joan doesn¡¯te tomorrow then the meeting can¡¯t be held without her presence. If I give you a suggestion, we should carry out the n tomorrow morning before they intervene.¡± Dafa exined

    ¡± Okay bro, we ¡®ll just do it tomorrow ¡± said Liza confidently .

    ¡± Alright , I ¡®ll ask Aileen to ask the reporters toe do your press conference ¡± Dafa started to pull out her cell phone from her jacket pocket . She started pressing the green button on one of the contacts named Asbrotant Aileen .

    The man started talking with Aileen about being ready for tomorrow, unlike Liza, the woman even called her mother, Zea, Liza wanted. If Zea sent some bodyguards to protect her tomorrow at the press conference, she did this solely to protect her womb.  which is still very vulnerable if hit by the slightest impact.

 38. Press conference

    Happy reading¡­

    Liza smiled with satisfaction seeing her reflection in the mirror, this morning she was ready with her formal suit and a little makeup on her face.

    The press conference was in an hour , the woman still had time to get ready .  Liza began to tie her hair very neatly , after finishing with thest thing she began to move towards the bed where Joan was still fast asleep .

    Joan had actually been conscious sincest night , but because her head was constantly feeling dizzy , she decided to go back to sleep .

    Liza reached out her hand to stroke her husband¡¯s cheek very carefully so that the man wouldn¡¯t wake up. ¡°I¡¯ll go for a while, take good care of yourself.¡± Liza said goodbye to the man who still had his eyes closed.

    Cups.  Liza gave a kiss right on her husband¡¯s forehead.

    The woman started to walk out of the room and headed to the kitchen to prepare breakfast. She served bread and a ss of milk as an option for Joan this morning.

    Liza started to spread the bread with Joan¡¯s favorite chocte jam, after arranging it neatly on a tray with a ss of milk she immediately took it to Joan¡¯s room so that her husband would no longer have trouble going to the kitchen for breakfast.  , either because he is too thrifty or because he is so stingy that he takes care of the work in this room by himself , that is Dafa , very different from Joan , Dafa is very independent and hardworking .

    Liza started to keep the tray on the nightstand , she immediately left the room very slowly so that Joan would not wake up and destroy her n .

    ¡°Are you ready to go now Li?¡±

    Liza gasped in surprise when she heard someone calling her from behind.

    Liza turned her body towards the source of the sound.

    ¡°Eh, sis, Dafa, I thought sis Joan, it just didn¡¯t bother me¡± Liza squeaked annoyed as she folded her arms in front of her chest.

    ¡± You are so beautiful today ¡± Gombal Dafa after tracing Liza ¡®s appearance from top to bottom .

    Liza just smiled broadly in response to Dafa¡¯s words, ¡°Thank you, Sis, Dafa is also handsome.¡± The woman chuckled.

    ¡°Let¡¯s go now, Sis, the sooner the better.¡± Liza started to walk ahead of Dafa towards the parking lot.

    The two immediately stepped on the gas to the location where the press conference was being held , the car they were driving was escorted by several cars behind it , they were bodyguards sent by Zea and some of them were members of Dafa .

    15 minutester they arrived at their destination , Liza walked side by side with Dafa and also Aileen who had just joined their group .

    Check it ¡­.. Check it¡­.N?velDrama.Org owns this text.

    Camera lights from journalists apanied their journey as they entered the press conference room .

    Dafa was actually very ufortable because she was not used to being surrounded by many reporters, unlike Liza, who was already familiar with the atmosphere, she looked very confident.

    The three immediately sat next to each other on the chairs that had been provided with Liza as the main focus, Dafa as thepany¡¯s representative and Aileen as the intermediary between the two spotlight figures and the journalists.

    Aileen began to open the program ¡± Hello , introduce me to Aileen Syahra , as assistant to the CEO of PT. RIVENNO GROUP . Previously I apologize for the scandal that my superior has done to Mrs. Anindya ¡± Aileen bowed slightly as an apology to the public .

    ¡°We will immediately start the press conference this time, to the reporters who have been present in this room, we will let all of you ask questions that deserve an answer from our side¡± Aileen added which immediately sparked amotion among the reporters who were  started shouting questions.

    ¡°Is the scandal true?¡±

    ¡± ording to the victim , Liza never loved the CEO of yourpany , is that true ?

    Hearing the statements from the two reporters, Liza immediately took over in ce of Aileen to open her voice.

    ¡°Well I will answer the first question, the scandal was indeedmitted by my husband, he did p his employee named Anindya and for the second question it seems that it does not deserve an answer due to privacy issues between me and my husband, I apologize for not being able to  answer the questionpletely.¡± Liza lowered her face slightly.

    The reporters were again boisterous asking questions .

    ¡°Does yourpany¡¯s CEO have no self-respect to be violent against female employees?¡±

    ¡± There is a rumor if Joan Arkan Rivenno has a rtionship with Yunara Lancaster , is it true Liza ? ¡±

    ¡± Anindya feels very aggrieved by the incident , what will yourpany provide aspensation ? ¡±

    ¡± All the media say that the CEO of yourpany is a phnderer , can you confirm , is that a fact ? ¡±

    ¡°All your fans say that you have a rtionship with actor Dn, is that news true Liza?¡±

    Aileen immediately stopped the reporters who were still asking a lot of questions , they would be very overwhelmed if they had to answer all these questions , especially since this event was broadcast live which required them to answer the questions naturally .

    Dafa took over to answer the first question ¡± I am Dafa , as apany representative admits that my boss ¡®s behavior is immoral , but I can understand that if I were in his position at that time . He did this for his own reasons .

    ¡± What are the reasons behind him tomit violence ?¡±  Asked one of the reporters standing in the front.

    ¡± Sorry we will tell you the reason as the main discussion at the end of the event ¡± said Aileen which made the atmosphere that was once very busy be a little quiet .

    ¡± And for the second answer ¡± Dafa raised her index and middle finger to signal number two .

    ¡°My boss does have a rtionship with Yuna from PT. LANCASTER, the two of them have been on good terms as friends since they were little.¡± It was Dafa that made the reporters feel disappointed because their guess was wrong.

    ¡± As said by Mr. Dafa , Yuna and my husband have a rtionship as a friend no more than that ¡± added Liza .

    ¡± And for the third answer , thepany will providepensation of 1 billion as our apologies for the violence and dismissal of sister Anindya unterally ¡± said Dafa after talking with Aileen about thepensation money .

    ¡± For the fourth answer I will answer myself as the wife of JOAN ARKAN RIVENNO , my husband is not a typical man who ys with women ¡®s feelings , so I ask you to please stop making rumors that destroy my husband ¡®s good name ¡± answered Liza emphatically .

    ¡± Me and Dn are close friends , but we never had a rtionship more than that ¡± Liza clearly made the reporters look at her with disbelief , one of the reporters had caught Dn making out with her .

    The atmosphere of the room was uncontrobly chaotic again, the guards began to climb forward to protect the three figures who were being invaded by reporters.

    ¡± Please everyone , this event can not run smoothly if you act like this , we will give you the real answer ¡± Aileen shouted echoing throughout the room , suddenly all the reporters fell silent looking at the source of the voice .

    The atmosphere was calm again , Liza immediately took over to be the center of attention of the media .

    ¡± I as the daughter ¨C in ¨Cw of Rivenno Group and sole heir of Hope Group , apologize profusely to those who feel aggrieved ¡± Liza bowed her head in front of the reporters . The woman paused her sentence to give reporters time to take her portrait first .

    ¡°In this scandal my husband Joan Arkan Rivenno is not at all guilty, I was the one who encouraged him to do such a rude thing to sister Anindya, I asked him to teach this woman a lesson because I didn¡¯t like Anindya¡¯s character who branded me as a cheap woman who was pregnant outside  marry ¡± Liza said liedly , the reporters immediately looked at her with hateful eyes .  The live broadcast that was broadcast on television immediately sparked anger from Liza¡¯s fanbase, some of them turned into haters who would attack Liza physically and mentally.

    Cold sweat fell on Joan¡¯s temples when he saw the woman he loved was admitting things that the woman had not done in public, the man immediately got up from his bed forcibly removing the IV tube that was still attached to his hand.  parking area .

 39. Protect each other

    Joan Pov

    I immediately parked my car in any ce when I saw my wife was already surrounded by many people, there were many journalists and teenage girls who seemed to be expressing their disappointment. They even threw objects at my wife in their hands.

    I immediately ran through the crowd and covered Liza¡¯s body with a cloth.  I brought my wife¡¯s body bridal style, Dafa and Aileen helped me to distract them, luckily they couldn¡¯t judge my wife now because I immediately took her out of the crowd.

    I put Liza in the car , the woman looks very scared , cold sweat starts to roll down her cheeks .N?velDrama.Org owns this.

    ¡± What ¡®s the matter , did they hurt you ? ¡± I examined all of my wife ¡®s body , I immediately breathed a sigh of relief because I did not see the slightest wound on her body .

    ¡°No,¡± replied my wife in a weak tone.

    ¡± Here , drink first , calm yourself ! ¡± I gave him a bottle of drinking water , he immediately gulped down the remaining half of the water .

    ¡°Thanks¡± he said as he handed the bottle back to me.

    ¡°Is something sick Li?¡±

    Liza shook her head ¡± Nothing , I was just surprised when those people threw me , I ¡®m afraid what will happen to our baby ¡± He said quietly , my wife stroked her stomach , I could see the sincerity in her heart .

    I kissed my wife ¡®s forehead lovingly , my annoyance at her seemed to disappear instantly and was reced with an anger that had reached the highest level .

    ¡± I ¡®m sorry , because of me you have to be involved in a problem that can endanger your life and also our baby . ¡± I looked alternately at his face and stomach .

    Liza just smiled crookedly , the woman slowly pulled me into her arms .

    ¡± I ¡®m your wife , so it ¡®s only natural that I sacrifice for my own husband . ¡± He whispered right in my ear .

    ¡± Thank you and I ¡®m also sorry becausetely I ignored you ¡± I tighten the hug and wrap my arms around Liza ¡®s slender waist .

    The next second we both remained silent , dissolved in silence , shared the warmth of the brief embrace and released the longing that had kept us apart for so long .

    Liza first let go of her arms , maybe she was starting to get stifled because the weather outside was really hot plus I was wearing a hoodie sweater which made it even hotter .

    My wife fanned her hands to give coolness to her face, I couldn¡¯t help but smile at her, my reflexes pressed the button to add the AC temperature.

    The temperature in the car slowly started to cool down, I immediately stepped on the gas pedal and left the ce for a house that I had never visited again.

    ¡± Where are we going , this is not the road to the house by ? ¡± Liza asked who saw me passing through the intersection to our house .

    For a moment I turned to my wife who was sitting next to me ¡°We will go to a ce where there is no sadness dear¡±

    ¡± Huh ? ¡± Liza rolled her eyes not understanding what I said .

    ¡± Do you want to ask me to kill myself ? ¡± Liza asked again because she did not get an answer from me .

    I just chuckled hearing her innocent words, this woman who is my wife sometimes does act like a child, but at different times she can act more mature than me.

    ¡± How can it be dear , I want to take you to a very beautiful ce , where there is no sadness in it ¡± I said when Liza started to frown .

    ¡°A ce that doesn¡¯t have sadness is just heaven, dear, is there really a ce like that in this world?¡±

    I shook my head ¡± Nothing , but someone approached ¡± I answered which immediately made him even more curious .

    ¡°Seriously? Don¡¯t believe me¡±

    ¡± I ¡®ll see youter ¡± I refocused turning my attention towards the street .

    ¡± Okay ¡± Liza replied with a challenging look .

    The car was suddenly quiet , because we were bothte with our respective activities , my wife was busy ying on her cellphone while I was busy ying the steering wheel .

    ¡°By you know or not?¡±  Liza asked starting to break the silence, now she has turned off her cellphone so that no one can track her whereabouts.

    I shook my head slowly ¡°No, you haven¡¯t told me yet.¡±

    Liza just whined , her expression looks very happy now .

    ¡°Do you have any good news dear?¡± I asked bravely, actually I don¡¯t want to know too much about his personal problems, for fear he will feel constrained and think of me as a processive husband.

    ¡°This is Loh by, said doctor Ririn, our babies are twins, a week ago I did an obstetrical examination and when on ultrasound it looked like there were two fetuses¡±

    I immediately stopped my car on the side of the road, my wife¡¯s words really made me lose control because of her happiness.

    ¡± Are you serious dear ? ¡± My eyes widen in disbelief .

    ¡± Yes , by the way , I was also really surprised because when I found out that I was pregnant , there was only one fetus ¡± said Liza , which really left me speechless .

    Cup¡­ cup¡­ cup¡­

    I gave Liza a short kiss on the thin lips many times , the woman did not give the slightest refusal .

    ¡± I love you ¡± Now I turned to pull her into my arms .

    Liza was just silent and didn¡¯t reply to my words, she was just busy enjoying the warmth of the body that I channeled. Her face had sunk into my chest.

    After finishing with the Romeo scene without Juliet, we continued our journey to the ce we told you about earlier.

    Because the distance is quite far , we arrived at that ce after traveling for 5 hours .

    Liza ran out of the car to vomit up her stomach contents , she had been holding back the nausea in the car , that woman was not the type of person who was motion sickness , maybe her pregnancy caused her to be like that .

    ¡± Is it really nauseous , honey ? ¡± I massaged the nape of his neck , while Liza was still busy spitting out her stomach contents .

    I continued to massage the nape of his neck until the nausea was gone , I gave him water to drink .

    ¡°Oops, I¡¯m really tired of being a pregnant woman,¡± said the woman weakly, I bit my lower lip very hard, I felt guilty for this, if I could, I would be the one experiencing the craving phase.

    ¡°Yes, I¡¯m sorry, honey, I promise I won¡¯t ask for more children after this.¡± I pointed my index finger and ring finger at him to form a suer sign.

    Liza just rolled her eyes ¡± The man can only promise, By, it wille back again when his wife gives birth, in the end he wants to add more children ¡± Liza sarcastically looked annoyed, her harsh words made me lose my self-esteem a little  Men .

    ¡± No, my dear , after all we have twins , it seems that the slogan of two children is enough for me to apply in our household . ¡± I objected , instead of abating , his annoyance was getting worse .

    Liza was silent , the woman continued to purse her lips so that she got strange looks from the Caucasians who had just sunbathed on the hot beach this afternoon .

    ¡± It ¡®s too bad , you pouted , people will even think that I have harmed you ¡± I started to hug him from the side .

    A few secondster hisughter broke out, his expression immediately turned 90 degrees into a very cheerful one.

    ¡± Hahahaha , I ¡®m just joking . ¡± The woman patted my arm without the slightest sense of guilt .

    I did not think what he said was just an act . No wonder he was given several awards , yet his acting is also very total .

    Liza started to walk along the beach scene which was getting crowded with visitors , I could only follow behind her while stroking my chest using my right hand .

    ¡°It¡¯s so beautiful, no wonder you just say it here is like heaven¡± the woman turned her body towards me, her beautiful smile really made me very impressed.

    Even the view of the beach was lost with his smile.

    Liza sat crouched and yed with the beach sand to form a castle, I only saw her acting like this little child, maybe it was just a baby, so she was like that. Her attitude haspletely changed now, the Liza I knew before was a woman who  very serious and full of fear.

    ¡± Aren¡¯t you tired Li ? ¡± I said which was only shaken by Liza .

    Liza didn¡¯t look at me at all, the sand castle that she made at this time became her main focus. I was so furious I immediatelyid down to face the sun, luckily I brought Dafa sses from the car, so my eyes won¡¯t be blinded when I face the sun directly.

    ¡± By , look at the pce I made , ¡± Liza called while shaking my body , telling me to stand up .

    Once again my eyes were mesmerized after seeing the work of my favorite woman .

    The work is very beautifully carved , even though Liza had only borrowed one tool , namely a shovel from a small child who was ying with sand also nearby , but it was as if the work was made using many tools .

    No wonder she was dubbed a beautiful woman with a thousand talents by the public. At first I didn¡¯t want to believe what people in the entertainment world said, but after I saw it in person in front of my eyes, now I¡¯m starting to believe it.

 40. Me, You and Mimin

    Joan Pov

    It was gettingte, I immediately invited my wife who was enjoying the beach view to leave that ce.

    ¡± Where are we going bi ? ¡± Liza furrowed her brow , she looked very curious .

    ¡°My house¡± I replied briefly, I returned to focus on ying the steering wheel staring at the street

    ¡°Do you have a house here?¡±  Liza smiled slyly.

    ¡°I have, it¡¯s just that I rarely go there¡±

    Liza shaped her mouth into an O ¡± Ooh , did you buy that house ? ¡±

    ¡°No, it¡¯s the result of my hard work. Papa, mama, even Sis Sarah doesn¡¯t know about the house. That¡¯s why I invited you here so no one can find us¡± I exined at length, I did intend to hide in that house for a few days with Liza  until things really get better. If I go home now, I can confirm that papah will judge Liza because he thinks that Liza¡¯s false confession was really done by him.

    I stopped my car at a second floor house that looks simple but seems minimalist.

    Liza immediately ran into the house without waiting for me who was still parking the car. There she immediately met Bi Mimin, the person I assigned to look after the house, she also has a house not far from this ce.

    ¡± Eh Aya Aa Joan ? ¡± asked Bi Mimin with her Sundanese ent when she saw me walking towards her .

    ¡°Yes, Bi, we haven¡¯t seen each other for a long time.¡± I immediately shook hands with the middle-aged woman. Likewise with Liza, who also shook hands with Bi Mimin after me.

    ¡± Who is that , beautiful , how are you , A ? ¡± asked Bi Mimin who was getting curious about Liza ¡®s figure .

    I smiled then looked at Liza and Bi Mimin in turn ¡± No, she is Liza my wife and soon I will be a papah ¡± I answered which immediately made Bi Mimin cover her mouth with her palms in disbelief .

    ¡± Masya Ah , why did you get married , did you not tell your aunt A ? Auntie thought you were still single , but it turns out that you already have this beautiful girl ¡± Bi Mimin immediately hugged Liza .

    Bi Mimin is like a surrogate mother to me, when I have a problem and run here, Bi Mimin is the one who always takes care of me and supports me.

    ¡°Alright, let¡¯s go inside, poor Liza, it¡¯s going to be cold when we¡¯re outside for a long time¡±

    I immediately took my wife¡¯s hand to enter the house following Bi Mimin who had already entered.

    ¡± Punten well , the house is a bit messy because Auntie has not had time to clean up ¡± Bi Mimin put on a face full of guilt .

    Liza approached Bi Mimin, who was opening a white cloth covering that served as a protector for unused items such as sofas and so on so that they would not be exposed to dirt and dust.

    ¡± It ¡®s okay , this house looks neat and clean ¡± said Liza , that woman really can¡¯t make people feel guilty .

    ¡± Yes ma¡¯am , in fact I really thank you because aunt has taken care of this house while I ¡®m not around ¡± I added from behind them .

    ¡°Yes, I¡¯m fine, if you don¡¯t mind, but if you need anything, just call your auntie at the house next door.¡±

    ¡± You really won¡¯t stay here ? ¡± Liza asked .

    ¡± Henteu atuh girl aunty lives next door ¡± exined Bi Mimin to which Liza gave a small nod immediately .

    ¡± Yes dear , Bi Mimin does not stay here because she also has her own house ¡± I said .

    I immediately helped Bi Mimin rece some of themps that had been damaged , while Liza was still busy tidying up things that were not in an orderly position .

    After I finished recing the broken lights, I started to turn to helping Liza.

    ¡°Li just let me, you just sit down anyways you can¡¯t be tired right¡±

    ¡± It ¡®s okay , anyways this is not a hard job , I ¡®m still strong by ¡± Liza said , the woman continued her work .

    I can only take a deep breath seeing my wife ¡®s stubborn attitude .

    ¡± Bi Mimin is checking the ingredients in the kitchen , you just help her baby , let me clean this stuff right ! ¡± I said trying to distract her .

    ¡°Okay bye, I¡¯ll go to the kitchen first.¡± Liza said goodbye, the woman immediately stepped into the kitchen leaving me alone who was still busy tidying up the position of the sofas and other items in the living room.

    15 minutester I had finished arranging the position of the items very neatly, I immediately rushed to the kitchen to see Liza and Bi Mimin who had not yete out.

    There I saw Bi Mimin who was cutting vegetables and Liza who was busy washing rice in the kitchen sink. I didn¡¯t expect them to start cooking right away, I thought that Bi Mimin just wanted to check the ingredients.

    I hugged my wife¡¯s body from behind which made her immediately startled.

    ¡± Have you finished cleaning up ? ¡± Liza turned to me without letting go of my hand that was wrapped around her stomach .

    ¡°Yes¡± I said with a smile growing on the corners of my lips.

    Bi Mimin could only shake her head at my treatment .

    ¡°girl, Auntie never thought that Aa Joan could be as romantic as a woman, Auntie even thought that Aa Joan didn¡¯t like the opposite sex, Auntie was really surprised when she found out about your marriage,¡± said Bi Mimin, which made me a little embarrassed in front of my own wife.  .

    ¡°Hehehe¡­ I really don¡¯t like girls.¡± I chuckled, trying to stay calm and look so cool.

    Bi Mimin raised her eyebrows ¡°Why is that olddy Liza naon Aa? Is she also a girl?¡±

    ¡± Her name is Liza Bi , not a girl , I just like Liza not a girl ¡± I objected immediately getting a small pinch in my stomach area from my wife .Content bel0ngs to N?vel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

    Bi Mimin¡¯sughter broke instantly when she saw Liza with her annoyed face continuing to pinch my stomach.

    ¡± It hurts you know ¡± I protested after Liza stopped pinching me .

    ¡± That ¡®s why if you say that makes sense ! ¡± Liza said with a cold look .

    ¡± I feel sorry for Aa , after all she ¡®s just being silly aka joking ¡± Mimin started to enlighten me so that Liza would no longer be upset with me .

    ¡°Yes, ma¡¯am, I¡¯m just teaching him a lesson so he won¡¯t be rude to his parents¡± Liza said to Mimin, now she has finished washing the rice and turns to Bi Mimin to help her cut the vegetables.

    I can only take a deep breath when Liza releases my hug roughly , that woman is very sensitivetely , every word and behavior I say is always wrong in her eyes .

    ¡°It¡¯s okay bro, just let my aunt cut the vegetables¡±

    ¡± It ¡®s okay , bi , it ¡®s okay to cook it quickly ¡± Liza started to take a knife and started cutting some of the vegetables that she had divided evenly with Bi Mimin ¡®s share .

    ¡°How many months have you been pregnant?¡±  Bi Mimin asked while stroking my wife¡¯s stomach which was starting to fill up.

    ¡± About a month bi ¡± I answered before Liza .

    Bi Mimin immediately turned to me and left the activity of cutting vegetables.

    ¡± It ¡®s still vulnerable , if it ¡®s a month , Egirl Liza should just rest , ¡± Bi Mimin suggested .

    ¡°Yes, ma¡¯am, I¡¯ve also told Liza to take a break but she¡¯s really stubborn¡± I said which immediately made my wife feel cornered.

    ¡°You guys just calm down after you finish cooking I will also take a break¡± Liza said looking at me and Bi Mimin in turn.

    Bi Mimin smiled in relief , so did I .

    Bi Mimin resumed her cooking activities, this time she began to put the vegetables that had been cut into a pot of boiling water.

    ¡± Oops , it looks like something is missing , can I believe it ? ¡± Bi Mimin pped her forehead when she found one ingredient that was missing .

    ¡± What ¡®s missing ? ¡± Liza asked .

    ¡± Not enough carrots , bro , it ¡®s impossible to make vegetable soup without carrots , the taste will not beplete , ¡± said Bi Mimin after realizing that one of the main ingredients was not avable .

    ¡°It¡¯s okay bi, don¡¯t use carrots either¡± I said to Bi Mimin, I started to walk towards the two of them.

    ¡°Ugh, the nutrition will becking Aa, right, girl is pregnant and has to eat a lot of nutrition and nutrition,¡± said Bi Mimin as she opened the apron she was wearing.

    ¡°Auntie where are you going?¡±  I asked.

    ¡± Auntie wants to go to the market first to buy carrots and other food ingredients , the kitchen ingredients are still notplete . Aa apany Egirl first , auntie go first ¡± Bi Mimin said goodbye , she immediately stepped foot rushing towards the market .

    Liza and I could only stare at Bi Mimin ¡®s back which was slowly disappearing from our sight .

    ¡± Li , do you want to put the rice into the magic ? ¡± I asked when I saw that the rice that had just been washed had not been cooked on the stove at all , nor was it put into a rice cooker that worked automatically .

    ¡°Yes, just enter By¡±

    I immediately put the rice into magic and immediately pressed the on and cook buttons.

    ¡°By please take the scallions from the fridge!¡± Liza ordered, the woman was beating eggs in a bowl, I could guess that she would cook an omelet using spring onions, it¡¯s one of my favorite dishes that the chef in the main house always makes.

    I first washed the leeks in the kitchen sink, after that I immediately gave it to my wife.

    ¡± You really are smart ¡± Lizaplimented while ruffling my hair with excitement .

    Seeing his smile made me sag on the spot , this is the first time I saw him smile again like that after our separation for a while .

    Honestly , I feel very happy when I can see himughing , smiling and having fun .  My burden seemed to be released instantly when I could see a smile forming at the corner of his lips, but there was another thing that I was very afraid of, namely sadness, I couldn¡¯t watch his tears fall again because of me, I didn¡¯t want him to feel constrained by the problems I did, I  very sure if papah will do something that will hurt him so much and make him fall again in the same pain.

 41. Us For Tonight

    POV 3

    Joan had juste out of the bathroom wearing her night blue kimono, the man was surprised to see his wife who had been pacing back and forth while staring at therge window that connected directly to the beach.

    ¡± Why are you darling , are you not tired from pacing all the time ? ¡± Joan was amazed because he had seen her wife ¡®s strange movements before she entered the bathroom , even after she came out her behavior was still the same .

    ¡± My stomach is not feeling well , maybe I am full , that ¡®s why I have been walking all the time so the food can go down quickly ¡± exined Liza , which immediately made Joan panic .

    ¡± Do you need to go to the hospital dear ? ¡± Joan started to approach Liza while drying her wet hair with a small towel .

    ¡± You don¡¯t need to by , it¡¯s not because of our baby , it¡¯s because I ate too much earlier because Aunt Mimin¡¯s cooking is so good that I can¡¯t stop adding it ¡± Liza grinned to herself when she remembered her greedy attitude at dinnerst night .

    ¡°That¡¯s why it¡¯s a shame if you eat, don¡¯t eat too much and don¡¯t eat too little either, just enough, you have to remember that in your stomach you have my two heroes.¡± Joan stroked his wife¡¯s belly lovingly.

    ¡± So you only care about our twins , what if you say not ? ¡± Liza pursed her lips , she was annoyed that Joan only cared about her babies , not her .

    Joan pinched Liza¡¯s cheek fondly

    ¡°It¡¯s not like that honey, I care about the three of you, right if your fetus is something you¡¯re sure to be tormented too¡±

    Liza nodded slightly , it makes sense what her husband said .

    ¡°By I¡¯m going to take a shower but I didn¡¯t bring a change of clothes, I¡¯ll borrow your clothes okay?¡± Liza asked, because she didn¡¯t bring even a single shirt and neither did Joan, but Joan had lots of clothes that she had prepared long ago if she wanted to stay at this house  .

    Joan shook her head ¡°No honey, my clothes are too big for you. Wait a minute here I will bring you women¡¯s clothes from the next room¡±

    Joan immediately stepped out of the room leaving Liza who just froze in ce.

    Liza was busy thinking about why there are women¡¯s clothes in this house, it¡¯s impossible for Joan to wear clothes for the opposite sex. Then who is the woman who owns the clothes?  Is his girlfriend Joan?

    ¡°Here baby¡±

    Liza broke her reverie when the owner of a voice that was familiar to her returned to the room carrying a dress.

    ¡°Thanks¡± Liza said as the clothes were already in her hands.

    Liza stared at the dress in utter astonishment , Joan could see a curiosity rising in his wife ¡®s mind .

    ¡± Those are Yuna ¡®s clothes ¡± Joan said honestly so that Liza would not think too much of her .

    Liza raised one beautiful eyebrow ¡°Has sis Yuna evere here?¡±

    Joan nodded again ¡°Yes, Yuna is the only person who knows about the existence of this house. I once ran away from home because of a problem, I made this house an escape but I didn¡¯t think Yuna could find out where I was hiding here¡± Joan exhaled in exasperation when  remembering past events that she didn¡¯t want to remember at all.

    ¡± Oooh ¡± Liza responded coldly , an aura of jealousy started to appear in her .

    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Yuna and I are just friends, we are good friends from childhood until now so it¡¯s impossible for something to happen between us¡± Joan stared at his wife¡¯s face very closely, he wanted Liza to believe him, because he was locked in something.  the rtionship is mutual trust.

    Liza smiled slightly and her sullen face started to disappear from Joan¡¯s sight.

    ¡°I¡¯m going to change my clothes first, okay bye, but after this, let¡¯s go out, I want to know the atmosphere around here¡±

    ¡°Yes dear Liza¡±

    Liza immediately stepped into the bathroom to change her clothes, she was not allowed by Joan to take a bath at night.

    Joan started changing her clothes in the bedroom while waiting for his wife to change clothes in the bathroom.

    Joan wore a striped blue and white shirt which she paired with faded blue jeans.  Not forgetting that he also put a blue jacket on his back . He intends to give it to Lizater , but he doesn¡¯t want to openly give it now because Liza will definitely reject it .

    ¡± Let¡¯s go now ¡± Liza , who had juste out of the bathroom , immediately pulled Joan out of the house .

    The two of them started walking on the beach, the atmosphere on the beach was still very busy at this time, many tourists were staying in vis around this beach. There were also young people who camped here, they started singing very happily while lighting a bonfire to warm them up.  their bodies are getting cold.

    ¡± It ¡®s really nice if we are like this every day , if the main house is really bored by ¡± Liza took a deep breath to breathe fresh air . She started to sit on the beach sand while enjoying the view of the tidal beach waves .

    Like it or not, Joan also had to sit down in the sand, even though she had just cleaned herself up, her clothes would definitely get dirty after this.

    ¡± It¡¯s a shame to wear this jacket , your dress is too open , you will catch a cold again soon ¡± Joan put his jacket on Liza , he wanted to make sure that his wife would still feel warm even though she had been feeling cold all along .

    ¡± You just put it on , I ¡®m not cold anyway ¡± Liza refused to wear the jacket .

    Joan still chuckled, he still forcibly put the jacket on his wife¡¯s body.

    The bright white skinned man immediatelyy down and made Liza¡¯s thigh as a pillow for his head. He was immediately able to freely look at his wife¡¯s beautiful face from the bottom.  Liza was not bothered by her husband ¡®s spoiled attitude , since the woman continues to enjoy the view of the beach decorated with stars in the sky .All content is property ? N?velDrama.Org.

    ¡± Why don¡¯t you look at the stars , look at your husband too , please ¡± Joan grumbled , which immediately made his wife look at him .

    Liza rubbed the top of her husband¡¯s head fondly, the man who was sleeping on herp looked very enchanting at the moment, Liza¡¯s face started to blush when her beady eyes met Joan¡¯s falcon eyes.

    ¡± Li , I love you ¡± Joan whispered softly as she closed her eyes because she could not look at her bead for too long .

    Liza remained silent, she didn¡¯t know what to answer, she was very afraid if she said something that didn¡¯t match her true feelings.  remembering that his beautiful future was unceremoniously destroyed by Joan¡¯s lust.

    ¡°Li, can I ask a question or not?¡± Joan opened her eyes again, daring herself to question the thing that had been haunting her mind for so long.

    ¡°Yes, what do you want?¡±  Liza narrowed her eyes.

    Joan woke up her body first and aligned her body with Liza¡¯s sitting position.

    He immediately grabbed Liza¡¯s hand which was smaller than his.

    ¡°How do you feel about me?¡±

    Sigh¡­.

    Liza was like being struck by lightning, why did Joan have to ask something she couldn¡¯t answer at all.

    ¡± How ? ¡± Joan asked back in a low voice because Liza did not want to speak up yet .

    Liza shook her head as she raised her head to look at Joan

    ¡± I also do not know what feelings I have for you ¡± Liza said very honestly .

    Joan let go of Liza¡¯s hand that was tightly held by him earlier, disappointed?  Of course, who wouldn¡¯t be disappointed if his sincere feelings had only been considered a passing wind that didn¡¯t make any impression.

    ¡± I¡¯m sorry , I can not say I love you ¡± Said Liza with bad feelings .

    Joan only smiled in response to his wife¡¯s words. ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll wait for you until you really love me, but I beg you, never ever leave my life!¡±

    Liza nodded , the woman gasped in surprise when suddenly Joan kissed her lips briefly .

    ¡± I love you very much Liza , only you , no other women ¡± Joan said with full seriousness , Liza felt relieved after hearing her husband ¡®s story , at least Joan had no intention of leaving her and turning to another woman .

    The two of them hugged each other in the middle of a crowd of people enjoying a bonfire party. Joan borrowed a guitar from a young man who was engrossed in burning corn on a bonfire.

    ¡°Bro, can I borrow the guitar?¡±  Joan asked a young man who was ying his guitar but didn¡¯t y it because he had to roast the corn first.

    ¡± Yes you can , please ! The older brother volunteered to borrow the guitar to Joan .

    Joan was very happy, she immediately approached Liza who was sitting behind her.

    ¡± Where did you get the guitar by ? ¡± Liza was surprised whose guitar her husband brought .

    ¡°I borrowed it from my brother over there.¡± Joan pointed towards the brothers who were in the crowd of people.

    ¡± Oh ¡± replied Liza .

    ¡°What song do you want to sing?¡±  Joan asked when she was sitting in front of Liza.

    ¡°It¡¯s up to you bye¡±

    Joan immediately strummed her guitar skillfully , the tone of the guitar was in harmony with the song she was bringing , a song called Hate Utopia .

    Should I love him

    If you only give grief?

    It seems I¡¯m happy

    On the one hand, I cry

    I¡¯ve been so precious

    All eyes adore me

    Until you came in my life

    Everything change

    You took my heart

    Make it gray

    You destroy all dreams

    It¡¯s been stored ever since

    You poison my love

    To hate

    I¡¯m not tired of being faithful

    Tortured alone

    Go, go, go, go

    How I want to run (run)

    And apart from you

    But the more I try

    I want to go back

    You took my heart

    Make it gray

    You destroy all dreams

    It¡¯s been stored ever since

    You poison my love

    To hate

    I¡¯m not tired of being faithful

    Tortured alone

    You took my heart

    Make it gray

    You destroy all dreams

    Hearing the strains of the song made Liza shed tears because the song perfectly matches Liza¡¯s hatred for the person who has destroyed her dream, namely Joan.

    Liza didn¡¯t understand why Joan chose to sing that song in front of her. Even though that song could have made Liza feel even more hatred towards her.

 42. Big secret

    A middle-aged woman who still looks very beautiful and looks elegant starts to enter her husband¡¯s study.

    The woman hit the table, making her husband, who was focused on work, jerked in surprise and moved from his position.

    ¡± Damn it , what are you doing here Zea ? ¡± Liam snapped not epting that the woman was interfering with his work activities .

    Liam clenched the muscles in his fists bulging with anger .

    ¡± Your daughter is really very stupid Liam ¡± Zea said raising her voice an octave .

    que¡­.

    Liam couldn¡¯t control his emotions, he couldn¡¯t ept that his daughter was insulted like that.

    ¡°I will never forgive you if you insult my son again!¡±  Liam threatens to give a warning.

    Zea held her cheek which felt a little sore from her husband¡¯s p, she was used to getting that rough treatment from the man she had lived with for 23 years.

    Liam first took off the sses that were perched on his sharp nose, he kept his sses on the table.

    Liam sharpened his gaze towards Zea who was already sitting on the sofa in his study.

    ¡± Ourpany ¡®s stock continues to decline because of your daughter ¡®s actions , ¡± Zea grumbled , the woman continued to me her stepdaughter for bringing up herpany ¡®s name during a press conference a week ago .

    Actually Zea wasn¡¯t the woman who gave birth to Liza.  Liza was born to a mtto American woman, but the truth about her biological mother waspletely unknown to Liza. So far, Liza has assumed that Zea is her biological mother, even though she was always treated very roughly by Zea.

    Liza¡¯s biological mother is a woman who is loved by Liam, they met in New York when Liam had a meeting with a client.

    Natasha George is just an ordinary girl, her level is very different from Liam or Zea.  Natasha is just a tourist guide whose ie is paltry whenpared to Liam¡¯s sry which is many times greater than his ie.

    Zea used to guide Liam¡¯s journey when he was in New York, because at that time Liam was still not fluent in English so he asked his secretary to find someone who could be his guide while there.

    Liam¡¯s position at that time was the same as Joan¡¯s now, namely a CEO who was always restrained and demanded to always do his best by his parents.

    At that time Liam fell in love with Natasha at first sight, her bright white skin, sharp nose, and thin lips were able to melt Liam¡¯s heart which was as cold as pr ice. But it was Natasha¡¯s attitude that made Liam so crazy about her.

    Liam and Natasha had a date one night, it was the incident that night that made Natasha¡¯s life fall apart because she was dered pregnant by a doctor a monthter.  Actually pregnancy is a gift for him, but what power Liam is no longer beside him, the man has returned to his country a week ago without saying a word to Natasha.

    Natasha remained unanimous in her stance to maintain her pregnancy, she worked hard to support herself, she had no family, both of her parents died when she was still in high school, while her older sister left her not knowing where to go, her older sister seemed to have disappeared into the earth.

    Until finally, Natasha¡¯s womb turned 9 months old, at that time Natasha was going to give birth to her baby at the biggest hospital in the city of New York, but unexpectedly she met the father of her future baby there.

    Natasha is grateful that Liam came at the right time, Liam was very happy when he found out that his flesh and blood had been safely born on this earth.

    Liam saw his baby sleeping in the crib, the baby is a girl whose face is very simr to Natasha, especially on the nose and lips while her eyes are more simr to hers.

    Zea was in the same hospital at that time because she had an ident that forced her to undergo surgery to remove her uterus which resulted in her being infertile for life.

    Liam and Zea go to Newyork for their honeymoon, Liam marries that vicious woman in order to grow his business, Liam gives no love to Zea because Liam¡¯s heart is already filled by Natasha, Liza¡¯s birth mother. At their wedding, it was Zea.  who is very obsessed with getting love from Liam.

    Zea watched as her husband held the baby girl, he also ordered his secretary to investigate who the woman who had just given birth was in there.

    Zea was very angry when she found out that the baby was her husband¡¯s flesh and blood, the fact that she could not give a child for Liam made her really angry and took the wrong path by killing Natasha and taking Liza to be her child.

    Zea keeps Liza by her side so that Liam can¡¯t divorce her, Zea also threatens that he will hurt Liza if Liam does things to her.

    For thest 23 years Liam has been Zea¡¯s puppet, he has always done whatever Zea ordered. But there was a bit of relief inside Liam when his son was married to Joan who had everything, Liam thought that Liza would be safe when she was near Joan, she rebelled easily.  to Zea and repay all the bad things that Zea has done to Liza and herself so far.

    I don¡¯t know how bad Liam is in Liza¡¯s eyes, all this time Liam has never cared and has always been hard on his daughter because he was told by Zea, there¡¯s nothing Liam can do except obey the devil-hearted woman, Liza¡¯s life is at stake if Liam doesn¡¯t obey Zea¡¯s words.

    ¡± What else are you going to do to my daughter , crazy woman ? ¡± Liam ¡®s scream echoed throughout the room . He wiped away the tears that rolled down his cheeks after imagining what Zea had done to Liza .

    The woman wearing a knee-length blue dress smiled with a smirk, she started tucking a strand of her hair that was blocking her view into his ear.

    ¡± I will teach a little lesson to your beloved daughter ¡± Zea replied while folding his arms across his chest .

    Liam was not surprised to hear the story from that vile woman ¡°Just try it, now my daughter is beside people who can protect her from a HURT woman LIKE YOU¡± Liam challenged by emphasizing his words at the end of the sentence.

    Zea smiled mockingly, the corners of his lips turned up on one side ¡°Do you think your useless daughter-inw can still protect your daughter, even her family doesn¡¯t like your daughter and will soon depose her, soon you will hear the news of your two daughter-inw¡¯s marriage being spread¡± Zea exined that  Liam immediately shook his head in disbelief.

    ¡°You¡¯re crazy¡± Liam pointed at Zea¡¯s head right on the part of his brain, he was sure that Zea¡¯s brain was shorted to the point of rambling like that.

    ¡°I¡¯m not crazy Liam, I¡¯m just letting you know that soon Joan, your beloved daughter-inw, will soon marry Yuna, the youngest child of the Lancaster family.¡± Zea gently caressed Liam¡¯s face who was frozen in ce.

    Liam already understands the direction of Zea¡¯s conversation, Lancaster Company has the same degree as hispany which is currently experiencing high losses due to the press conference Liza held yesterday.

    Liam started to struggle with his thoughts , the middle aged man started to think about everything Zea had just said , there was a 99 % chance that Joan would marry Yuna due to a business agreement .

    ¡°Are you serious about what you said, Zea?¡± Liam asked, starting to lower the volume of his voice.N?velDrama.Org owns this text.

    Zea just noddedzily , the woman with the stature immediately showed the proposal for the merger of the Rivenno and Lancaster Companies from the screen of her tablet .

    In the proposal it is written that this agreement will ur if Party 1, namely the Rivenno Group, agrees to have a sacred rtionship with party 2, namely the Lancaster Group.

    ¡± Damn them ¡± Liam curses after seeing the contents of the proposal .

    Zea was happy about this, with Joan not being in Liza¡¯s life it would be easier for her to control Liam to remain her life doll.

    ¡± Did Joan agree to this marriage ? ¡± Liam lowered his voice and started to try to have a nice talk with Zea .

    Liam sat on the sofa opposite where Zea was sitting at the moment.

    Zea shrugged his shoulders ¡°I don¡¯t know, your son-inw and daughter have been missing for a week without a trace, Auris and Ansel are currently on a search to find them¡±

    Liam rolled his eyes, he didn¡¯t even know that his daughter had disappeared this week, he was too busy with his candidacy business so he had no time to find news about his own daughter.

    ¡± Did they go together ? ¡± Liam asked again , at least Liza would still be safe if she disappeared with Joan .

    Again Zea shrugged her shoulders a second time ¡°I don¡¯t know either, recently their rtionship is not good, Joan left the house and left Liza and chose to live in her penthouse with Dafa¡± Zea smiled contentedly, Liza¡¯s suffering is happiness for her  himself .

    Liam ruffles his hair Frustrated, why could he be this ignorant?  He didn¡¯t even know that his daughter was having this big a problem. Liam felt that he wasn¡¯t worthy of being a father to a daughter as good and patient as Liza.

 43. Momentary Happiness

    JOAN POV

    I started to wipe the sweat that had soaked my face using the tissue that Liza brought.

    This morning we took a leisurely stroll along the beach while doing some stretches to loosen up the stiff muscles of the body.

    We¡¯ve been hiding for a week, no one can find us because I¡¯ve deactivated my cell phone as well as Liza¡¯s so they can¡¯t track our location via cellphone.  Our existence here will remain safe as long as Yuna doesn¡¯t tell papa and mama about this house.

    ¡± There is a mango tree , ¡± Liza pointed towards a towering mango tree .

    I raised one eyebrow ¡°Yes, I also know honey if it¡¯s a mango tree, what¡¯s wrong?¡±

    ¡°I want it, please take it¡± Liza ys with her puppy eyes.

    I looked at the very tall and big mango tree. To be honest, in my life I have never climbed a tree just to steal a mango belonging to a resident.

    ¡°Li, let¡¯s just buy them, besides the mangoes are still young,¡± I said, which immediately made Liza purse her lips.

    ¡± Well it ¡®s up to you ¡± Liza replied annoyed , she quickly turned away leaving me .

    I ran quickly to him , I was afraid if he really felt annoyed with my attitude .

    ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll take it dear¡± I held my wife¡¯s hand and brought her back to where the mango tree grows and grows.

    ¡°Thanks by¡± Liza said cheerfully, her smile growing again on her beautiful face.

    I quickly climbed the very tall mango tree, even though it was a bit difficult because I wasn¡¯t used to it, but for Liza¡¯s sake I was determined to do something that could cause me to have a heart attack or die from falling from a height.

    I breathed a sigh of relief as soon as I managed to pluck a fairlyrge mango from the tree, I quickly climbed down from the tree and immediately expressed my gratitude for having been given the opportunity to live by the creator.

    ¡± Wow you are great by ¡± Liza pointed her thumb at me .

    ¡°Here¡± I gave a mango that was still unripe to my wife. Liza quickly took the mango from my hand.

    ¡°Li, it¡¯s not recorded in history, if Joan Arkan Rivenno, a child of a conglomerate, steals mangoes belonging to residents,¡± I exined, only to be grinned in return by Liza.

    ¡°Yes, thank you Sis Joan dear¡±

    Cups ¡­

    My heart seems out of ce when I get a sudden kiss on the cheek from Liza.

    My face felt hot, I¡¯m very sure that at this time my face was red due to my wife¡¯s behavior.

    I immediately ran away to cover my embarrassment.  I can hear Liza¡¯s voiceughing at me from behind.

    Liza started walking behind me, when we got home we immediately met Bi Mimin who was busy serving food in the living room.

    ¡± Hey you guys havee , I thought the tea would still take a long time to go ¡± Greeted Bi Mimin who was keeping boboko filled with fried rice on the table .

    I embraced Liza¡¯s body when she started helping Bi Mimin prepare the food menu at the table.

    ¡± Don¡¯t be too tired Li , remember your womb ! ¡± I whispered .

    ¡°Yes, follow the words of Eneng¡¯s husband, Eneng¡¯s womb is still vulnerable,¡± said Bi Mimin.

    ¡± Yes , in a moment , ¡± Liza said , the woman started to throw my hand and went to the kitchen to get something .

    I can only exhale exasperated see his stubborn attitude .  Likewise with Bi Mimin who could only shake her head.

    ¡± It¡¯s really hard for Aa¡¯s wife to tell him, Aa has to pay a lot of attention to Eneng, especially if the womb is already big, just tell him to rest in his room A! ¡± Bi Mimin grumbled reminding me.

    We immediately ate breakfast after the food was served very neatly at the table.

    ¡± Bi Mimin ¡®s fried rice is really delicious ¡± Praised Liza while giving her thumbs up towards Bi Mimin who was sitting across from her .

    ¡± Ah , it ¡®s normal ma¡¯am , Eneng ¡®s cooking is delicious , ¡± rebutted Bi Mimin , which immediately made meugh .

    ¡± What the hell Bi , Liza ¡®s cooking actually tastes very nd , because at home she rarely cooks ¡± I teased which made Liza look embarrassed .

    ¡± Really A , Eneng ¡®s cooking is delicious , the vegetable soup made by Eneng a week ago tastes really good ¡± Bi Mimin defended .

    ¡± Who said it was made by me , it was Sis Joan who made the seasoning so it was delicious ¡± Liza exined , it is true that the vegetables in the soup were indeed prepared by her but I put in the seasonings .

    ¡± Eh aunt I think Eneng , it turns out Si Aa , it turns out that you are smart and you cook A ¡± The middle ¨C aged woman ruffled my hair excitedly , I have treated Bi Mimin like a second mother to me .

    Bi Mimin lives alone here, her child and husband died in an ident which made her very lonely and moved from the city and lived her life alone in a quiet beachside house.

    Lizaughed after seeing my messy hair caused by Bi Mimin .

    ¡°Your hair looks like jamet By¡± Liza teased.

    I smoothed my hair ¡°Where is there jamet who is as handsome as me dear?¡± I posed so handsome in front of my wife that made Liza spit out the air. Bi Mimin did the same thing.

    ¡± Si Aa mah is so handsome, isn¡¯t it neng ¡± Bi Mimin replied to which Liza nods in return.

    ¡± Well , I have been handsome since birth , what can I do , even though my face was beaten ck and blue I am still handsome , ¡± I showed Bi Mimin the wounds from daddy punching her .

    Bi Mimin stretched out her hand to touch my face which was still sore because the wound had not yet dried.

    ¡°I¡¯m really sorry for you A, has the wound been treated yet?

    ¡°It¡¯s okay bi,st night I rubbed it with ointment¡± Liza replied ahead of me.

    ¡°Okay, if that¡¯s the case, okay, let¡¯s continue eating, the rice will get coldter,¡± said Bi Mimin.

    We also quickly finished our breakfast program with wisdom and calm, without speaking a word.

    As soon as we finished with the activity, I started helping Bi Mimin put the dirty dishes in the kitchen to wash them. Liza immediately rushed into the kitchen to take over Bi Mimin¡¯s job of washing the dishes.

    ¡± Auntie water the nts first, okay?¡± Bi Mimin said goodbye, the simple-looking woman started to walk away from the kitchen towards the front of the house to water the nts that she had not watered for a long time.

    After staring at Bi Mimin¡¯s back which was slowly disappearing from my sight, I turned my attention back to Liza who was busy washing the dirty dishes in the kitchen sink.

    ¡°Do you want me to help you honey?¡±  I said after being beside him.

    ¡± You don¡¯t have to By , you can help me get the mangoes that I put on the living room table earlier , right ? ¡± Liza eximed in a very polite tone .

    ¡± Of course honey ¡± I replied , I immediately stepped into the living room .

    Tap¡­ Tap¡­

    Someone stepped into the living room, the sound of the steps did note from me but someone else who had just barged into this house.

    ¡°Dafa, Yuna¡±

    I gasped in surprise, the mango that was in my hand reflexively I dropped it to the floor which made a sound due to the collision between the mango and the floor of this house.

    The tall man began to approach me followed by a slender woman beside him.

    ¡± Uncle Ansel is very angry with you and Liza , how long are you going to hide and run away from trouble , Joan ? ¡± Dafa snapped when he positioned his body straight in front of me .

    ¡± I do not care ¡± I replied casually , I pushed Dafa ¡®s body away from me .

    ¡°Yuna, why did you tell me about the existence of this house?¡±

    I red at Yuna, that woman had promised not to reveal this secret to anyone, but what she was doing right now was the opposite.

    ¡± I¡¯m sorry Ar , I¡¯m afraid that Uncle Ansel can¡¯t forgive you , so you better appear now in front of them before they get really mad at you and also your wife ¡± Yuna said softly .All content is property ? N?velDrama.Org.

    I was stunned while wiping my face in exasperation, in this state I couldn¡¯t run away because I had made sure that Yuna¡¯s minions followed Yuna¡¯s and Dafa¡¯s movements.

    ¡°Aarrghhh¡± My scream echoed throughout the room.

    I didn¡¯t realize that my scream actually made Liza run to the living room to witness whatmotion was going on here.

    ¡°W-why are you here?¡±  Liza jumped in surprise when she saw the presence of two people who were with me in this room .

    I started running over to Liza and immediately pulled her body into my arms, I started whispering something in Liza¡¯s ear ¡°I¡¯ll go with them to meet daddy, but I won¡¯t take you dear¡±

    ¡°No, I¡¯lle with you and face your father directly¡± Liza argued, the woman let go of our hug roughly.

    I held Liza¡¯s cheeks ¡°Please, do as I say, I¡¯m sure papa will judge you and do something to you, think carefully about our two babies!¡±  I said firmly.

    Liza started crying sobbing ¡°But I can¡¯t let you get beat up alone, at least take me with you, we¡¯ll get through this problem together I don¡¯t want you to carry this burden alone¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯m used to dealing with daddy, the most important thing for me is to make sure you three are safe, so please meet Dn and stay at his apartment for a few days, I¡¯ll pick you up after things get better!¡±  that, but what power of fate made me have to say this. At least Dn¡¯s ce is the safest ce that daddy can¡¯t go to, Dn is also a pretty good man and really respects women.

 44. Destiny Brings Me Back To You

    LIZA POV

    Happy Reading¡­..

    Wee to a new world, loyal readers.

    I got off the taxi right in front of the Luxury Apartments at 21. 30 WIB. The weather outside was currently pouring rain. I immediately ran quickly into the apartment lobby. I first rested on a waiting chair avable in the lobby.  get off the taxi.

    I looked at the mango that I had been holding in my hand, that mango was the one that my husband picked this morning, I brought the mango that I had not had time to open here, I intended to eat the mango when Sis Joan picked me up at her house.

    This morning, Sis Joan, Sister Yuna and Sister Dafa left together to meet my inws. Before leaving, Sis Joan ordered me to stay in this apartment with Dn until he came to pick me up, he also forbade me to activate my cellphone so that my location would not be tracked by  anybody .

    I covered my face in my palms , I cried silently , I was really very scared to face this situation .

    ¡°Are you in trouble son?¡± the middle-aged woman who was sitting next to me immediately reached out her hand to rub my back, it seemed she heard me sobbing softly.

    I looked up and immediately brushed away the tears that had been rolling down my cheeks.

    I try to keep smiling to hide my pain.

    ¡°No Auntie, I¡¯m fine¡± I replied full of lies.

    The woman shook her head while smiling ¡°Don¡¯t lie son, I am a psychologist so I can read your feelings right now¡±

    I was stunned listening to the exnation from the woman who had just imed to be a psychologist.

    ¡°My name is Kinanti Wirawan, I can help you to get rid of the excessive anxiety that is in you son, this is my business card, I also live in one of these apartment units¡± The doctor gave me a card of his own, I immediately took the card  from his hands.

    ¡°Okay Auntie, I will call you soon¡± I smiled.

    ¡°I have to go now, please calm down, everyone in this world is never immune from problems that always haunt every human life¡± Doctor Kinanti again rubbed my arm, she stood up from her seat and put on her bag that had been ced on the chair.

    The woman in formal dress stepped out of the lobby.

    I could only stare at the woman¡¯s back which slowly started to disappear from my sight, Kinanti Wirawan, that name seemed familiar to me.  I¡¯ve seen that name stuck somewhere, but I can¡¯t remember where.

    Oh well, I¡¯m too tired to think about that.  My eyes are very heavy at this time , I just want to sleep quickly to get rid of the sleepiness that had been attacking me .

    I started to stand up from my sitting position, I started walking to take the elevator to Dn¡¯s apartment unit. In the empty elevator I kept staring at the mangoes that my husband picked directly, I grinned to myself when I remembered the expression on his face that looked very scared.

    If I¡¯m honest, during this week I was very happy living with Sis Joan. She was very differentpared to when we lived in the main house. I also realized that Sis. Joan wasn¡¯t as bad as I thought. She really cared about me and loved me.

    I really like Sis Joan who lives as an ordinary human beingpared to Sis Joan who lives as a CEO who has lots of wealth but doesn¡¯t have time.

    I¡¯m scared, I¡¯m really scared if papa Ansel does something to him. Why God?  Why did you give the same ordeal to me and also to Sis Joan, we are just children who only need love not violence.

    I wiped my tears when the elevator arrived at its destination, just as I was about to step out of the elevator suddenly a man wearing a ck Hoodie sweater with his face covered in a ck mask entered the elevator startled me, luckily I could recognize that the man was  dn .

    ¡± Liza , what are you doing here ? ¡± Dn opened his mask and started to question my reason foring to his ce .

    ¡°I have a problemn, why did Ie here¡± I said softly, I immediately lowered my face.

    Dn lifted my chin slowly ¡°Tell me, what are you doing with your crazy husband again?¡±  Dn¡¯s face turned red with anger.

    I shook my head ¡°It¡¯s not like thatn, it¡¯s not because of Sis Joan but my inws¡±

    Dn immediately hugged my body suddenly .

    ¡± I already told Li , there is nothing wrong with the Rivenno family . ¡± Dn rubbed my back .

    I immediately pushed Dn¡¯s body slowly, Dn¡¯s hug made me feel ufortable, I realized myself that I was not a girl anymore, Dn didn¡¯t deserve to love me again, considering that he was still a virgin.

    ¡± Lan I¡¯m really sleepy , can I sleep at your apartment tonight ? ¡± I tried to distract myself so Dn would not be offended by my refusal just now .

    ¡°Okay Li, let¡¯s just go to my apartment¡±

    Dn and I started walking side by side, one of Dn¡¯s arms wrapped around my body which started to stagger against sleepiness.

    Checkeeek.

    The apartment door was immediately opened using a secret code that only Dn knew.

    ¡°Come in Lee!¡±

    I immediately entered ahead of Dn, I immediatelyid down my tired body on the sofa in front of the TV while waiting for Dn to enter his room.

    I blinked my eyes for a moment until finally Dn¡¯s booming voice was heard again.

    ¡°Li, don¡¯t sleep on the sofa, just sleep in my room¡±

    There is only one bedroom in this apartment, because this apartment unit is facilitated only for one person to live in. Dn prefers to buy a smaller unit than arger unit so that it is not difficult for him to take care of and clean this room alone.

    Dn started helping me dry my soaked hair, he also gave me a pair of women¡¯s nightgowns that were none other than my own.  I used to spend the night here when my mom and dad had a tantrum, so I ran away from my apartment and moved to Dn¡¯s apartment for a few days, and of course I brought a suitcase of clothes that I kept here until now in case I stayed overnight suddenly  .N?velDrama.Org owns this.

    ¡°You just change clothes in my room Li, you don¡¯t have to take a shower at this time of night!¡±

    ¡°Yes Lan, thank you and forgive me because I keep bothering you¡±

    ¡°Li, you know that I love you, so don¡¯t ever hesitate to ask me for help.¡± Dn ruffled my hair slowly.

    I just smiled in response to Dn¡¯s words, I was very ashamed to keep bothering him, I know very well how hurt Dn was when he found out that I was pregnant with Sis Joan¡¯s child. I¡¯m just afraid that in the end all Dn¡¯s kindness to me will only be a pile of wounds that actually hurt him even more.  again, now my feelings for Sis Joan are deeper than I imagined.

    I could not hold back the turbulent tears asking to be released, I half ran to the bathroom.

    My tears spilled out, I looked at myself in the big mirror that was in the bathroom.

    Why am I so hypocritical and disgusting like this, I have always been a burden to everyone, to my parents who don¡¯t want me to exist in this world, and also to the two men who don¡¯t know how it will end if they continue to live beside me.

    Sigh¡­ Sigh¡­

    I cried uncontrobly followed by the sound of running watering from the faucet that I deliberately turned on so that the sound of my crying was faint.

    I held my head which already felt dizzy because I had been crying too long in the bathroom, with my body staggering I tried to change my clothes into the pajamas that Dn gave me.

    After finishing changing my clothes, I first washed my face using water, so that my puffy eyes would not be too obvious when Dn saw it.

    I came out of the bathroom, there was already Dn who was changing his blue bed sheet with a tayo animation pattern which was reced with a pink sheet with Barbie on it.

    ¡°Why reced Lan?¡±

    ¡°The one wearing it also looks like Barbie, that¡¯s why I changed it¡± Dn muttered with a wink.

    ¡°You can just do it¡±

    ¡± Lan this is your room , you just sleep here let me sleep on the couch ¡± I continued .

    ¡± Li , you are a girl and also pregnant . So it ¡®s better for you to sleep in this room so it ¡®s safer , besides if a thief enters the living room it can be messy ¡± Dn argued making me speechless .

    ¡± Okay Lan I obey ¡± I said , I began toy my body on the bed with the Barbie sheets .

    Dn was standing in front of arge window showing a view of the city at night which was full of twinkling street lights, Dn turned his body to see me lying down staring at the ceiling of the room.

    ¡°Li, what¡¯s wrong with you?¡±

    I got up from my lying position and started leaning my back on the head of the bed.

    ¡± My mother ¨C in ¨Cw is furious because of the press conference I held a week ago , Sis Joan forbids me from going home with her because she is sure papa Ansel will do something to me ¡± Obviously I did not deviate from reality .

    ¡°Well, I thought the press conference made the Rivenno grouppany stable again, but howe it¡¯s the other way around Li?¡±

    ¡°Hmmm¡± I took a deep breath.

    ¡°I also don¡¯t know Lan, I didn¡¯t expect the situation to get worse like this¡± I said in a resigned tone.

    ¡°Btw, I¡¯m also sorry because I told the media that we don¡¯t have a rtionship that is more than just friends, because I¡¯m afraid your career will be ruined because you¡¯re involved with me.¡±

    The man looked at me with an indescribable gaze.

    ¡°It¡¯s okay Li, I understand why¡± He replied with a t expression.

    I¡¯m sure that Dn is very disappointed in me, from the beginning we were in a rtionship, Dn always asked me to publish our rtionship, but I always refused because I was afraid of my parents¡¯ anger.

 45. Second Matchmaking

    POV 3

    Tonight, Joan is apanied by Dafa to meet Ansel and Auris at the mansion. Joan begins to enter the house feeling troubled.

    ¡°Where are papah and mamah?¡± Joan asked one of the maids she met

    ¡± There is in the living room sir , they have gathered there ¡± replied the maid .

    ¡± Alright , thanks for the info ¡± Joan said politely to the waitress who was older than her .

    Joan took another step around the bow towards the living room.

    Joan¡¯s eyes lit up when she saw that Auris and Ansel were not together, but with the Yuna family, whose surname is Lancaster. Joan and the Yuna family are very close and know each other.

    ¡± Uh there are Uncle Gio and Aunt Reva ¡± said Joan quickly , the man shook hands with the middle ¨C aged couple in turn .

    ¡°You are more handsome Ar¡± Reva praised Yuna¡¯s mother.

    ¡± Oh yeah , besides Arkan already has a wife , so it ¡®s really mandatory for her to take care of her face , ¡± said David , Yuna ¡®s older brother , in a sarcastic tone .Content bel0ngs to N?vel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

    ¡± WHERE IS YOUR WIFE JOAN ? ¡± Ansel made his booming voice with all the emotion on his face .

    Joan turned her attention and looked at her father with a very irritated look ¡°Father doesn¡¯t need to know, if papa¡¯s goal is only to judge him¡± Joan fought very firmly, the man¡¯s jaw hardened with a sh of his sharp re.

    ¡± Answer daddy ¡®s question , where is Liza ? ¡± Ansel repeated his question but his tone was slightly lower than his first question .

    Joan stood up from her seat and immediately hit the table, making everyone in the living room jump in surprise.

    ¡± JOAN REMINDS DAPAH, JOAN CAN ACCEPT Rough TREATMENT FROM Papah, BUT JOAN WOULD NEVER BE WILLING FOR PAPAH TO TOUCH A LOT OF HAIR ON LIZA,¡± Joan¡¯s screams echoed throughout the room.

    Ansel clenched his fists, his hands ready to beat Joan blindly again.

    ¡°Papa, calm down daddy, we have to talk about this carefully,¡± said Auris to calm her husband

    Ansel is the type of man who always listens to what his wife has to say, and the atmosphere calms down again when Ansel and Joan face each other with cold minds.

    ¡± Listen carefully Joan , we are all gathered here to discuss a very important matter ¡± Ansel said informing the purpose of his friend ¡®s familying here .

    Liam , Gio and Ansel have been friends for a long time , to be precise since they were in high school .  However, their friendship was destroyed because Zea, who is loved by Gio, instead chose to love Liam, his best friend. That¡¯s why Gio hates Liam so much to this day.

    Joan raised her eyebrows at her father.

    ¡°What¡¯s the big deal, dad?¡±  she asked.

    ¡°YOU AND YUNA SHOULD MARRY!¡± Ansel replied emphasizing every word he said.

    Joan widened her eyes , her jaw hardened , the man looked at Yuna who was bowing her head .

    Yuna already knew about marriage from the start, that¡¯s why she told Dafa where Joan was hiding. Yuna also didn¡¯t want this marriage to happen, but the feelings she had harbored for Joan for years managed to make her do as she pleased without thinking about Joan¡¯s current status as her husband.  Liza and also the future father.

    ¡± Have you all gone mad huh ? ¡± snapped Joan .

    Joan rose from her seat with her hands on her hips , the man rolled up his sleeves in anger .

    ¡°Calm yourself son, we are doing this because this is the only way we can maintain thepany,¡± Auris said to calm his son.

    ¡°Mom, Joan promised to find a way out of this problem, but please don¡¯t tell Joan to marry another woman, after all Joan already has a wife and future children¡± Joan pleaded with Auris, hoping the woman who gave birth to him would understand his feelings.

    Auris stroked the top of her son¡¯s head with her eyes starting to get teary eyed ¡°Yes, mom also knows that this is very hard for you, but please, honey, think about the future of Liza and your future baby,¡± asked Auris in a low voice.

    Joan shook her head , clear water came out of her eyelids without realizing it .

    Finished with her mother not being able to fulfill her wish , now Joan turns to her knees in front of Ansel , whom Joan hopes will grant her wish .

    ¡± Papa , please don¡¯t do this , Joan beg you ¡± The man with firm jaws rubbed his palms pleadingly .

    Ansel did not react , the man instead looked away .

    ¡± Papa , daddy will soon have two grandchildren at the same time ¡± Joan said again .

    Now Ansel began to stare at his son¡¯s face.

    ¡± Two grandchildren , is your wife carrying twins ? ¡± Ansel asked curiously .

    ¡± Yes daddy Liza is pregnant with twins ¡± Joan confirmed , Ansel who heard this was also happy , while Yuna and her family were acting normal .

    ¡°So please cancel your crazy ns, daddy, can you?¡±

    Ansel smiled wryly , his gaze still as sharp as before ¡± It ¡®s good , after all this is your wife ¡®s fault , so she should be able to receivepensation for what she has done ¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s okay, it¡¯s not Liza¡¯s fault, Liza never asked me to hit Anindya,¡± Joan argued justifyingly.

    ¡± Don¡¯t lie to me , not because you love your wife so much that you justify all of her treatment and orders ! ¡± Ansel smirked , ording to Ansel his son had changed a lot since he married Liza .

    ¡± Pah pliss ¡± Joan begged again apanied by sobs that started to be heard in the room .

    ¡± We can still fix all these problems . If only Liza did not bring up the good name of her family at the press conference that day , I ¡®m sure Liam your in ¨Cw can still help us ¡± exined Ansel .

    Thepany started by Ansel and Liam had indeed entered into a joint business merger agreement when Liza and Joan got married, but that only applies to the centralpany, so Liam still has other shares in various subsidiaries which can help revive Rivenno Group shares which have fallen dramatically.

    But Liza¡¯s actions actually made Liam unable to help his family¡¯spany because the shares in his subsidiarypany also fell, at this time Liam could only rely on Zea to help stabilize the condition of hispany which was on the verge of copse.

    ¡°Arrrgh¡­.¡±

    Joan ¡®s screams echoed in the room , The man ruffled his hair Frustrated , the thing he really wanted to do right now was hug Liza ¡®s body and cry uncontrobly in the arms of his beloved wife .

    ¡± Just ept Ar , before my family changes their minds and let Lo¡¯spany be destroyed , ¡± David said , heating up Joan even more .

    David is the President of a well-known gamepany, he is a very smart but mentally handicapped man, this man is always cruel to everyone who dares to take his possessions. So far David feels that Joan is a parasite in his life, that is because Joan always depends on both  David¡¯s parents, even Reva and Gio also alwayspare themselves with Joan just because of their profession as the leader of a gamepany while Joan is very talented in the field of technology.

    ¡°David, shut up!¡±  Gio snapped at his eldest son.

    ¡± Arkan , I know this is very difficult for you , but this is the only way out so you can maintain thepany that you have built for years ¡±

    Gio began to open his voice , talking about this slowly .

    Joan was silent, she seemed to be thinking about something, the man looked at Yuna, Yuna was her best friend since childhood, she knew Yuna¡¯s attitude very well.  Marrying Yuna doesn¡¯t seem like a big deal, because he could easily ask for a separation from that woman with stature, after thepany problem was over Joan could immediately divorce Yuna, after all that woman also didn¡¯t have any feelings for him.

    ¡± Alright , I will marry Yuna ¡± Joan said confidently .

    Ansel and Auris smiled happily because the Company¡¯s problems could be solved, while Gio and Reva cheered because their daughter Yuna would soon marry the dream daughter-inw that they both dreamed of.

    Gio has always been obsessed with Joan, he even asked Ansel to match Yuna and Joan, but Ansel didn¡¯t pay attention because he only thought that Yuna was just a friend for Joan, but in the end Ansel was interested in setting up Joan with the famous Liam¡¯s daughter.  very beautiful and talented.

    Unexpectedly, now the situation is reversed. Ansel instead agrees to Yuna over Liza to be Joan¡¯s lifepanion.

    Joan rubbed her face in exasperation, the decision she made today was solely for the future of Liza and her two babies, she couldn¡¯t let her little family live in misery.  Joan just wants to be the head of the family who makes his family members prosperous, Joan wants his children to take over hispany one day, he also wants to keep Liza happy and give everything to a woman who is willing to leave her very bright future and choose to be by Joan¡¯s side.  to see together how their children grow and develop .

 46. No More Sorry!

    POV 3

    Liza is worried that she hasn¡¯t had any contact with her own husband, Joan, for a week. Not to mention meeting him in person, Joan even forbade him to turn on his cellphone so Ansel can¡¯t read his location.  Liza after things got better.

    Even though it was hard to live with, Liza had to be patient for the sake of the two children she was carrying in her womb.

    This morning Liza was watching TV in the living room while eating snacks that Dn had bought, for a week she couldn¡¯t go anywhere even just to buy food, she only asked Dn¡¯s help to buy all her needs.

    Only Liza was seen in the apartment, because Dn had to shoot in the morning.  It¡¯s actually hard for Dn to leave Liza alone in this ce where she lives, but how else can Dn also have the responsibility as a man who is the backbone of his family.

    ¡± Her acting is unnatural , ¡± Lizamented on the actress who was ying her role in one of the television broadcasts .

    Because she felt that the film was very boring to watch , finally Liza switched to another broadcast .

    Sigh¡­.

    Liza¡¯s eyes widened when she saw the news about her husband¡¯s marriage to a woman she recognized clearly disyed on the news broadcast.

    ¡°DAMN YOU JOAN¡±

    Liza¡¯s body shook violently, her body that was standing straight squatted down on the floor, the woman covered her face in her folded hands, she was crying uncontrobly without anyone knowing.

    ¡± Why? sob¡­ sob¡­. sob¡±

    ¡°Why do you have to y with me, Joan, why do you have to appear in my life if it¡¯s just a wound?¡±

    ¡± Damn guy , sob ¡­. sob ¡­ sob ¡­¡±

    Liza kept shouting out her curses , if only that man was in front of her at this time maybe her face would have been scratched by Liza .

    ***

    Joan stood in front of arge mirror that showed the atmosphere of the golf course which was already busy with visitors this morning .

    Sincest night Joan was dered legal as Yuna¡¯s husband, so the man was forced to spend the night at the Lancaster family¡¯s house for several days.

    ¡± I miss you Liza dear , be patient , I will pick you up soon dear ¡± Joan thought .

    ¡°Arkan, what are you doing here?¡±

    Yuna, who had just returned from the bathroom, immediately hugged Joan¡¯s body from behind, Joan immediately brushed off Yuna¡¯s arms that were wrapped around her waist harshly.

    ¡± Let go , Yuna ! ¡± Joan snapped .

    ¡± What are you doing Ar ? ¡± Yuna asked softly , the woman was very surprised by Joan ¡®s attitude that had changed sincest night .  Joan even rudely refuses to have his first night and chooses to sleep separately with Yuna.

    Joan grinned, at this time he felt very disgusted with a woman who was considered his best friend, but in fact Yuna was just his secret admirer.

    Last night David openly said that Yuna had been in love with Joan since she was little. Dafa also reported that Yuna herself had said where Joan and Liza were hiding voluntarily, without being asked.

    On the other hand, Yuna has also ordered her family to gather at the Rivenno mansion to discuss the matter of Yuna and Joan¡¯s arranged marriage.

    It turns out that Yuna is the person behind all of this, without Joan¡¯s knowledge Yuna also turns out to be the person who put Anindya into herpany to spy on Joan.

    ¡± I disgust you na , why do you have to do something as low as this , huh ? ¡± Joan lifted Yuna ¡®s thin chin .

    ¡± Because I love you Arkan ¡± Yuna¡¯s eyes filled with tears .

    ¡± All this time I have always hidden my feelings , I thought you might be able to realize this , but in fact you chose that bitch ¡± Yuna cursed which immediately caused her to be pped in the face by Joan .

    ¡± A how can you Arkan, sob ¡­ sob ¡­¡± Yuna screamed in pain, the beautiful woman held her sore cheek.

    ¡± You should know Yuna , actually the bitch is you , not Liza , because you are the one who stole other people ¡®s husbands ¡± Joan argued , which made Yuna re at her .

    ¡± Wow , do you think I exist is a woman like that Arkan ? ¡± Yuna pped her hands .

    ¡°Yes.¡± Joan nodded.

    Yuna brushed away her tears harshly then brought her face closer to Joan¡¯s face so that only a few centimeters were left.

    ¡± Then what about you impregnating a woman who never loved you at all ? ¡± Yuna whispered in Joan ¡®s ear .

    Joan froze, she absolutely could not refute the statement made by that disgusting woman.

    Yuna turned her face away again and turned to smoothing Joan¡¯s cor.

    ¡°Liza still likes Dn, right? I just found out that the person Liza was crying for at the hospital was her boyfriend,¡± Yuna smiled teasingly.

    Joan didn¡¯t open her voice, she just stared at the woman with a sharp gaze. She was really stupid for taking care of a wild cat like Yuna.

    With a furious feeling that Joan had left Yuna , the man stepped out of the luxurious house containing only himself and Yuna because his father ¨C in ¨Cw and brother ¨C in ¨Cw were out of town on business .

    Joan walked to the garage and immediately entered her white Lamborghini Aventador.

    Joan stepped on the gas pedal and immediately rushed to a ce to meet Liam.

    Yesterday night Liam asked Joan to meet him at a hotel he owns, it seems Liam will talk about something very important that can only be discussed in person, becausest night Liam avoided Zea and met Joan alone in a closed room from the public.

    It didn¡¯t take long for Joan to arrive at the hotel where she had made an appointment with Liam.

    Joan walked unsteadily into one of the VVIP rooms in that room.  Joan was sure that Liam would finish her today because he had cheated on his daughter.

    Joan opened the door of the room with a feeling of anxiety .

    ¡°Come in!¡± The man ordered from inside.

    Joan began to sit facing Liam , Joan ¡®s fear began to disappear when he saw Liam ¡®s expression that looked very sad .

    ¡± What ¡®s wrong dad ? ¡± Joan asked awkwardly .

    Liam was silent for a moment with tears in his eyes as he looked at Joan.

    ¡± Why are you doing this , are you not thinking about Liza ¡®s feelings ? ¡± Liam tried to open his voice .

    ¡± Mom, I¡¯m sorry dad, I¡¯m also forced to do this in order to maintain thepany ¡± Joan answered awkwardly while showing her face.

    Liam stroked his daughter-inw¡¯s hair, he was disappointed with Joan but he also understood how it felt to be Joan now because he had been in the same position.

    ¡± Papa know how you feel Joan , papa know ¡± Liam started hugging the body of his son ¨C in ¨Cw who was sobbing .

    ¡°I¡¯m sorry Joan papa¡± Joan asked softly.

    Liam took a deep breath before saying these words ¡°Yeah papah forgive you¡±.

    Joan looked up with relief in her mind, she looked at her mother-inw with a surprised look.

    Joan wiped her tears first, she felt bad because as a man she couldn¡¯t be a gentleman in front of her own inws.N?velDrama.Org owns this text.

    Liamughed when he saw Joan¡¯s red face and puffy eyes, Liam thanked God for sending a man who really loved his daughter, Liza.

    Joanughed along , why could she be this crybaby in front of Liam , it was really embarrassing .

    ¡± Papa wanted to meet with me because of what problem ? ¡± asked Joan trying to divert attention .

    Liam was silent as he stared at Joan¡¯s shady beads.

    After a second, his voice filled the room again.

    ¡°Dad wants to tell you something very important.¡±

    ¡°What¡¯s the matter dad?¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s about Liza, but daddy doesn¡¯t want Liza and other people to know about this secret, so daddy asked you to hide this secret, and please tell Liza slowly when your baby is born, daddy¡¯s afraid that the disease will recur if  Liza knows this now, you can right?¡±

    Joan nodded ¡°Okay papa, Joan promises to keep this secret carefully¡±

    ¡± But what ¡®s the secret , daddy , that you have to wait for Liza to give birth first ? ¡± Joan asked , making her even more curious .

    ¡°Zea is not the one who gave birth to Liza¡±

    Joan¡¯s eyes widened, she repeatedly digested Liam¡¯s words, but she didn¡¯t understand what the middle-aged man was saying at all.

    ¡°What do you mean papa?¡±

    ¡± Liza was born by a different woman , Zea was just the one who took Liza when she was just born ¡± Liam exined .

    Joan was stunned , hearing Liam ¡®s narrative .  No wonder Zea always treats Liza so hard it turns out that this is the reason.

    ¡°Then who is Liza¡¯s birth mother?¡±

    ¡± Her name is Natasha George , she is a woman who really loves to this day ¡± Liam said sadly .

    ¡°Then where is Mamah Natasha now daddy?¡±

    ¡°He died, he was killed by Zea on the day Liza was born¡±

    Sigh¡­.

    Joan ¡®s heart was beating faster , her blood was flowing faster .  Joan didn¡¯t think that Zea, who had been called mamah by Liza, turned out to be a psychopath who destroyed Liza¡¯s life.

    ¡± Zea killed Natasha because of her jealousy , that day Zea was also sentenced by the doctor that she could not have children for life , that ¡®s what made her take Liza after killing her mother ¡± Liam exined again .

    Joan was silent , she did not understand why Liza ¡®s fate could be like this .

    Liam held Joan¡¯s hand with his body starting to shake violently when he remembered the incident where the woman he loved so much was sadistically killed by Zea in front of his own eyes.

    ¡± Protect Liza , Zea might kill Liza soon because my daughter is no longer protected by the Rivenno family , she is also not beside you , it will be very easy for Zea to kill her ¡± Liam begged .

    Joan got up from her seat unsteadily , what Liam said made her lose her mind when she imagined Zea killing the woman she loved so much .

    ¡± Dad , Joan went to meet Liza first ¡± Joan said goodbye , the man ran very quickly leaving Liam alone in the room .

    Joan was driving his car at full speed, he didn¡¯t care about his safety, he just wanted to quickly meet his wife and protect her from Zea¡¯s pursuit.

 47. Mine!

    Joan Pov

    I hastened my steps through the halls of the Luxury apartment, which at this time still looks deserted because the residents are active outside the apartment.

    My steps started to stop at one of the units which I believe is Dn¡¯s residence ording to the information that Dafa got.

    Knock¡­. Knock¡­ Knock¡­

    I knocked on the apartment door many times, but there was no answer from inside.

    ¡°Honey it¡¯s me, please open the door¡±

    I banged on the apartment door really hard, as a result a mother in another unit came out instead of Dn or Liza.

    ¡°I¡¯m sorry, who are you looking for?¡± Asked the mother who had juste out of the next unit, after approaching me.

    ¡°I¡¯m looking for Dn Ma¡¯am¡± I replied full of lies.

    ¡°Dn isn¡¯t inside, bro, there¡¯s only a beautiful girl, bro, maybe that¡¯s Dn¡¯s girlfriend,¡± exined the mother.

    ¡°So that girl is just alone inside mom?¡± I asked again to make sure.

    ¡± Yes, Mas, he is alone because he has to shoot early this morning ¡±

    I exhaled in exasperation, I tried to hold myself back so as not to get emotional because of Dn¡¯s very careless behavior.

    ¡± Yes ma¡¯am , thank you very much for the information ¡± I slightly bowed my body to express my gratitude to the mother .

    ¡°Yes, you¡¯re wee, if that¡¯s the case, you¡¯ll go first, okay?¡± The mother returned to her unit and left me alone, who was still standing in front of Dn¡¯s apartment door.

    ¡± Li it¡¯s me , open the door ! ¡± I shouted while continuing to knock on the door .

    I ruffled my hair in frustration because I didn¡¯t get any answers from inside, in the end I tried to open the door¡¯s code, guessed some numbers that I thought were very important for Dn.

    I tried to write down the 6-digit number code, namely 301295, which is Dn¡¯s birth date ording to the information that Dafa had received.

    ¡°Shit¡± I chuckled in annoyance because the numbers didn¡¯t match at all.

    I didn¡¯t just give up this time I tried to guess a second time. My fingers reflexively wrote down the number 040198 which is my wife¡¯s birth date.

    I smiled with satisfaction when the door was sessfully opened, but anger was implied in me when I found out that Dn still loves my wife to this day, the proof is that the man has not changed his apartment code until now.

    Ah, never mind I don¡¯t want to care anymore about Dn¡¯s feelings towards Liza. The most important thing now is to bring Liza to a safer ce from the pursuit of the devil-hearted woman, Zea.

    I immediately barged in like a thief who had seeded in tearing down the entrance silently.

    ¡± Li , where are you dear ? ¡± My scream echoed throughout the room , I searched every corner of the room looking for my wife .

    Snacks are still scattered in the living room , the television is still on , I can guess that Liza was just watching TV while eating snacks in this room .

    I ran back jogging looking for Liza all over the ce, this time I entered a room which I confirmed was Dn¡¯s room because the design of the door to the room was dark like the likes of men in general.

    I was really surprised when I found Liza who had copsed on the floor, I nimbly immediately held her body bridal style.

    I came out of the apartment with fast steps because I was really worried about Liza¡¯s womb which seemed to be bleeding right now, blood kept dripping out of hers to wet her feet.

    I put Liza into the car and immediately step on the gas to the nearest hospital.

    I drove my car at full speed so it only took 4 minutes to get to the hospital.

    ¡°Doc, please save my wife and baby¡± I asked one of the doctors who was going to treat Liza, there were already 3 doctors who started to examine Liza.

    ¡°Sir, don¡¯t worry, we will try our best,¡± replied the doctor, then he walked into the ICU room.

    I was really very worried when I saw the doctor put an oxygen delivery device on my wife, the tube and oxygen mask were already in ce to cover Liza¡¯s mouth and nose. My wife often experiences shortness of breath when she is under pressure and has a problem she can¡¯t solve.

    I sat down on one of the waiting chairs in front of the room, I cursed myself when I remembered that everything that happened to Liza today started with me, I¡¯m very sure that Liza already knows about my marriage.

    For several minutes I covered my face with my palms on the chair, until finally a doctor¡¯s voice managed to interrupt my reverie.

    ¡± Father , the husband of the patient who is in there right ? ¡±

    ¡°Yes doc, I¡¯m her husband, how is my wife now, Doc?¡±

    I took a deep breath when I saw the doctor¡¯s expression which looked normal.

    ¡°Thank God, the womb of your wife can still be saved, luckily you brought her here quickly so that the bleeding can still be stopped¡±

    I breathed a sigh of relief hearing the statement from the doctor ¡°How is the mother¡¯s condition, doc?¡±  I asked still with a worried expression.

    The doctor shook his head, he looked worried about something.

    ¡°His mother¡¯s condition was not well, her blood was so low that we needed a blood transfusion, she was also having difficulty breathing so she had to be paired with an oxygen cylinder, your wife had to be treated for several days, I was afraid there would beplications¡±

    I rubbed my face angrily, I felt incapable of being a husband or father of my two future babies.

    The doctor, who was around 50 years old, rubbed my arm slowly ¡°Take it easy, we will treat your wife very well, you better just go into the room because the patient will wake up soon¡± The doctor ordered, I immediately obeyed and rushed in to see the condition of my wife who was still y weary.

    I rubbed the top of his head , kissed his forehead several times .

    ¡°I¡¯m sorry honey, I can¡¯t take care of you and our future baby, but I promise that from now on I will never leave you under any circumstances, I don¡¯t care about papa or Yuna, from now on we will continue to be together until death do us part  we¡± I whispered in my wife¡¯s ear who still didn¡¯t wake up either.

    For an hour I just stared at his face, reluctant to let go of his hand from my grip, I decided to sleep beside him without letting go of his hand.

    ¡°K-ak Joan¡± Liza called softly to wake me up who had just been asleep for a few minutes.

    I rubbed my eyes, a smile spread on my lips when I saw my woman had opened her eyes and called my name.

    ¡°You are okay dear?¡±

    Liza didn¡¯t answer, her eyes stared intently at me, her cheeks were getting wet with her own tears. Her body was shaking violently, she was crying silently because her mouth was covered by an oxygen mask.

    ¡± I¡¯m sorry Liza , I know you are mad at me because I married Yuna , but I did all these things for you and our two future babies ¡± I whispered while hugging my wife ¡®s body which was shaking violently , her sobs were getting louder .

    I immediately called the doctor via the emergency button beside the bed, I was very scared when I saw Liza¡¯s pressure rising on the monitor screen.

    Not long after a doctor came apanied by several other nurses .N?velDrama.Org owns this.

    The doctor immediately took out a stethoscope and put it on my wife¡¯s chest, after finishing checking my wife¡¯s condition he quickly instructed the nurses to inject some medicine into the IV tube.

    The medical staff breathed a sigh of relief when Liza¡¯s blood pressure stabilized again. I immediately approached the doctor who was still standing monitoring my wife¡¯s condition.

    ¡± Your wife should not be too stressed , just let her rest for now ¡± The message from the doctor before stepping out of the room .

    I just stared at the back of the doctor who was disappearing from my sight, now I turned my body to see Liza who was staring at me.

    I looked at Liza helplessly, Liza grabbed my hand who was about to step out of the room and left her alone so she could rest.

    Liza¡¯s fingers quickly opened the oxygen mask covering her mouth and that¡¯s what made me snap at her reflexively.

    ¡°LIZA WHY IS IT OPENED?¡±

    ¡± Stuffy , I can not talk to you ¡± he replied indifferently .

    ¡°But you¡¯re tight Liza, plug it in again!¡±

    The woman shook her head firmly ¡°No need sis¡± He said still chuckling at his stance

    ¡± I have something important to tell you ¡± Liza ¡®s face looks very serious .

    ¡°The problem with my marriage to Yuna?¡± I raised my eyebrows.

    Liza fell silent, her eyes looking at me with intense gaze.

    ¡°Did you like Yuna from the start?¡± he askedter.

    ¡°No, I married Yuna to maintain thepany¡±

    Liza red, she didn¡¯t believe what I was saying at all.

    ¡°Papa, you can¡¯t help us because you brought up the name of thepany at the press conference, automatically the shares also dropped dramatically,¡± I exined, trying to tell him slowly.

    ¡°Liar, from the start you just want to y with me right?¡±  The woman raised her voice.

    ¡°I¡¯m not lying honey, I¡¯m doing this for the future of you and our two children¡± I said while shedding tears.

    Liza was silent she held her head which was starting to feel dizzy, as the doctor said Liza was indeed short of blood.

    I held my wife¡¯s tiny hand ¡°You don¡¯t need to think about it already dear, the important thing is that you rest now, we will talk about this problem after you arepletely recovered¡±

    ¡± I love you , I only have you Liza as the only woman I love ¡± I kissed my wife ¡®s forehead with love .

    There was no answer from Liza , the woman now closed her eyes again .

 48. Changed Taste

    POV 3

    This afternoon Liza and Joan returned to the main house after a week of Liza receiving treatment at the hospital.

    ¡°Oh my gosh non, we miss you non Liza¡± E and Tia simultaneously hugged Liza¡¯s body who had just got out of the car.

    ¡± I miss you both too ¡± Liza smiled broadly , Liza quickly returned the embrace of the two maids .

    Liza took a deep breath, she really missed breathing fresh air at home which she had left for more than two weeks.

    ¡± I miss living in this house ¡± grumbled Liza , the woman started to walk into the house followed by E and Tia who followed behind her .

    ¡± Li , I will put the suitcase into the room first ¡± said Joan who had just entered carrying a medium ¨C sized suitcase containing Liza ¡®s clothes .

    Liza ignored her husband¡¯s words, during this week Liza spoke very sparingly, her heart was too hurt by the fact that she was not the only woman in Joan¡¯s life.

    Every time Joan spoke, Liza only nodded or shook her head. During this week, Liza didn¡¯t want to talk about Joan and Yuna¡¯s second marriage.  Liza doesn¡¯t want to feel stressed anymore and endanger her fetus again.

    Liza stepped into the kitchen escorted by E and Tia , while Joan rushed to the room to put the suitcase in the walk in closet .

    Arriving at the kitchen , Liza immediately hugged Bi mina who was busy preparing vegetables which the chef would soon cook , in this house there is already a famous chef who is very good at cooking all kinds of food , including foreign and domestic food .

    ¡± Bi , Liza misses you so much , I want to y chess with you again , ¡± Liza hugged Bi Mina ¡®s body from behind , which reflexively made the woman who was no longer young , startled .

    ¡± Astagfiruh neng , just startle your aunt ¡± Shouted Bi Mina while stroking her chest .

    Liza chuckled showing a row of white and neat teeth.

    ¡°Hehehe¡­ sorry babe¡±

    Bi Mina started stroking Liza¡¯s arm ¡°Yeah, it¡¯s okay non, non Liza how are you?¡± Bi Mina asked with a worried face

    ¡°Fine bro¡±

    ¡°Your face still looks pale, don¡¯t you want me to make something?¡±

    Liza shook her head ¡°No need bi, I already ate earlier¡±

    ¡°Okay, atuh, if you need anything, just tell Auntie, okay?¡±

    Liza smiled sweetly while nodding her head ¡°Yes, Auntie, if I want something, I¡¯ll definitely tell Auntie.¡±

    ¡± For tonight I am not going to eat , dad , please just make Sis Joan her favorite food , because while in the hospital she rarely eats , ¡± Liza asked in gentle words .

    ¡°Ready non auntie will cook her husband¡¯s favorite food non¡± Bi Mina gave a thumbs up.

    ¡°Thanks, bi, if that¡¯s the case, I¡¯m going to the room, I want to take a shower first¡± said Liza, the woman started walking towards the room after getting approval from Bi Mina. Meanwhile E and Tia remained in the kitchen to help Bi Mina and the other maids to  prepare dinner dishes.

    ***

    Liza had juste out of the bathroom after cleaning herself, the woman was seen wearing a long white shirt that reached above her knees.

    Joan, who was lying on the bed, immediately looked at his wife who looked very beautiful and seductive.

    Joan grinned as his wife gave him a sinister look.

    Liza started wiping off the water that had soaked her hair using a small towel, followed by drying her hair using a hair dryer and continuing tob her hair.

    Don¡¯t forget that she also does several stages of using skincare starting from using toner, serum to continuing with moisturizing cream.  Liza patted her face gently , so that the skincare could be absorbed quickly into her skin , because she had not taken care of her face for two weeks .

    Liza immediately stood up from her dresser chair and stepped back to take her cell phone which was kept on the nightstand next to the bed where Joan was lying now.

    Tap¡­ Tap¡­

    Liza stopped her steps when she reached the bedside table , only a few cm away from Joan .  The man kept staring at his wife¡¯s beady eyes.

    Liza¡¯s hand grabbed her cell phone, the woman turned her body back and walked the other way but after only taking a few steps, her hand was blocked by Joan¡¯s strong and muscr hands.

    Joan pulled Liza¡¯s body by force so that she fell on hisp.

    ¡°How long have you been keeping me like this?¡±  Joan brought his face close to Liza¡¯s face which was below him, so there was no distance between them.

    Joan¡¯s masculine scent hit Liza¡¯s long nose.  Liza¡¯s heart raced pumping faster than usual.

    Falling in love, that¡¯s what Liza feels right now, that feeling is very simr to when she first fell in love with a man named Dn.

    Liza closed her eyes when Joan kissed her lips briefly , she opened her eyes again heavily .

    In contrast to Joan, he was desperately holding back his lust, his under there had been tense earlier, but the man was trying to make himself aware that his wife was pregnant and still in a weak condition, coupled with the massive rejection that was about to be carried out.  Liza because of her anger .  Kissing the woman¡¯s erotic lips was pretty enough to get rid of all her anxiety.

    Liza¡¯s eyeballs were locked with her husband¡¯s, for a few seconds the two of them stared at each other dumbfounded. Joan¡¯s feelings deepened while Liza¡¯s feelings began to change, before she only thought of Joan as the father of her future baby but now Liza began to think of Joan as a man.  deserves love from him.

    ¡± I love you Sis Joan ¡± Liza said reflexively , she was not aware of the sentence she said .

    Joan¡¯s eyes widened perfectly, her heart was beating erratically, she tried to digest the sentence her wife said again, she was very sure that her hearing was not problematic at this time and she was not hallucinating either.

    ¡± Y , m , are you serious ? ¡± Joan stammered .

    Liza nodded enthusiastically ¡°I¡¯m serious, but¡­.¡±

    The woman hung her sentence, she seemed to hesitate to continue her sentence.

    ¡± But what ?¡±  Joan asked full of curiosity.

    ¡± But it seems that it is impossible for us to continue to live together after this child is born , because now we have Sis Yuna present among us ¡± Liza said softly .

    Liza turned her gaze towards the window, Joan swallowed her saliva with difficulty, she didn¡¯t understand why Liza was so narrow-minded, it was obvious that Joan had no feelings for Yuna except as a friend, besides, his marriage to Yuna was only for business purposes, different from  His marriage to Liza happened because of a baby in Liza¡¯s womb that would bind their rtionship.

    ¡°I will immediately divorce Yuna, no matter what,¡± Joan said with a heavy sigh.

    ¡°Don¡¯t do that sis, sis Yuna is also a woman, don¡¯t hurt a woman who has been your best friend for tens of years!¡± Liza eximed firmly.

    Liza got up from Joan¡¯sp, now the woman is walking towards the big window that has a beautiful view of theke.

    ¡°Then what should I do Liza, do you want the four of us to be destroyed to make Yuna happy?¡±

    Joan snorted, the man started to stand up to Liza who was standing in front of the window, Joan immediately hugged Liza¡¯s body from behind and stretched out her hand to stroke Liza¡¯s stomach which already looked full.

    ¡°Think about our children, you also have the right to be happy, I don¡¯t want to lose the three of you,¡± said Joan, the man¡¯s tears started to fill with tears.

    ¡°It¡¯s not that easy sis, without a third person our marriage can¡¯t be happy, especially in our current condition, it¡¯s impossible, even your father doesn¡¯t approve of our rtionship, what are you going to do sis, even for the sake of maintaining thepany you are willing to marry  your own best friend, are you sure you can defend me against your father¡¯s wishes?¡±

    Liza expressed all the feelings of annoyance that had been suppressed by her.  Liza¡¯s current position is still the same looking at the window with Joan who is hugging her from behind.Content bel0ngs to N?vel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

    ¡°I promise you Li, I will find a way to divorce Yuna,¡± said Joan with god-level confidence.

    ¡°No need sis, I don¡¯t want to be happy over the suffering of other women¡± Liza argued.

    ¡°I¡¯ve never touched Yuna in the slightest, so it doesn¡¯t matter if I separate from her?¡± Joan raised her voice.

    ¡°I really believe that you won¡¯t do that, but what about other people¡¯s views of Yuna after you divorced her? In our eyes, Yuna is still a virgin, but in other people¡¯s eyes, Yuna is still a widow. YOU SHOULD THINK FIRST BEFORE YOU TAKE  DECISION¡± Liza snapped emphatically at the end of the sentence.

    Liza let go of Joan¡¯s hands that were wrapped around her stomach roughly, she turned her body to look at her husband.

    Joan¡¯s face turned red from the rising anger.

    ¡± Li then what should I do , do you want me to keep protecting Yuna , who I will never be able to love for the rest of my life ? ¡± Joan asked , which made Liza furious .

    ¡°You already married him, so you have to be responsible for him, love or not love, just keep it up sis Yuna¡±

    Joan licked her lower lip which felt dry ¡°YOU¡¯S CRAZY LI, are you ready to be married huh?¡±

    ¡°No, that¡¯s why please divorce me and about the children, don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll take care of them¡± Liza pleaded with submission.

    Joan had tears in his eyes, the man quickly grabbed Liza¡¯s hand ¡°Don¡¯t be like this Li, I will divorce Yuna and live happily with you, I will find a way to get out of daddy¡¯s straitjacket¡±

    Liza let go of Joan¡¯s hand roughly ¡°You should have rejected this marriage from the start, that way no one would get hurt¡±

    ¡°I did all of this for the future of you and our children, is it Li¡¯s fault?¡±

    Liza nodded, the woman¡¯s gaze stared nkly at Joan ¡°Wrong, you took the wrong path, if only on that day you met me first, I could still help you, but because of your greedy attitude, in the end you take a shortcut that will create a path  a dead end that trapped Yuna¡± Liza looked at Joan sharply.

    trap?  Yuna has trapped Joan in this rtionship. So far, Yuna has been the mastermind behind Anindya¡¯s violence and Yuna is also the one who spreads the news to the media through Anindya¡¯s best friend.

    Joan shook her head disapprovingly of all the words made by her wife .

    ¡± You are doing all of this not because of our children ¡®s future , BUT BECAUSE YOU ARE Afraid of a miserable life ¡± Liza continued hatefully .

    Joan¡¯s crying became more and more intense, she didn¡¯t think that Liza could think this badly of her, clearly Joan married Yuna in order to maintain thepany which will be passed on to her future children, but why does Liza still not understand all the actions she is doing?

    POV 3

    It was pitch dark, the sun had been reced with thousands of sparkling stars and the moon that also decorated the atmosphere that night.

    Liza was wearing her hoodie sweater, cold air was stabbing into her body, tonight Liza prefers to enjoy a cup of sweet tea in the balcony area of ??her room.

    After their fight with Joan this afternoon , they did separate activities and chose to just do cat and mouse .

    Currently Joan is eating her dinner in the dining room alone , she feels lonely , there is no one to chat with during meals .

    The man¡¯s eyes were puffy, he had been crying for more than 2 hours, since his fight with Liza.  This afternoon Liza told her to meet Yuna , but Joan refused and remained firm in her decision to live in this house with Liza .

    Drettt¡­

    Joan squinted when something vibrated in her trouser pocket . The man reached for his cell phone , his eyes turned sad when he saw Yuna Bestie ¡®s contact name making a phone call .

    Joan quickly shifted the red button , she immediately deactivated her cell phone and threw it in any direction .

    Joan stopped her eating activities, her appetite just disappeared after seeing Yuna¡¯s name on her cellphone screen.

    ¡± Bi , just clean up ! ¡± Joan shouted at one of the maids in charge of preparing food tonight .

    ¡± Fine sir , if you really don¡¯t eat sir ? ¡± Asked the waiter before lifting the side dishes that were still intact into the kitchen .

    ¡± No Bi , Liza is fasting tonight ¡± Joan said .

    The man left the dining room with a sullen expression, now he stepped into the guest room which is adjacent to the main room.

    Joan opened the curtains that covered the ess door to the balcony, the man intended to breathe fresh air on the balcony of the room which was never filled by anyone, because since Joan and Liza were married there had not been a single guest staying in this room.

    Joan took a deep breath as she closed her eyes for a moment, she looked towards the front which disyed a view of the pond, after a while she looked to the left.

    There is already a view of an angel who is looking for fresh air.

    A smile formed at the corner of Joan¡¯s lips, what he saw now was the view of his wife who was stroking her belly and chatting with her future baby.

    ¡°Mommy can¡¯t wait to meet you soon dear, mommy wants to quickly hold you and hear your cries in the middle of the night, mommy, I promise you, honey, when you¡¯re born, mom won¡¯t get angry if you¡¯re fussy, so you have to grow up  well in there¡± Liza said while stroking her stomach lovingly.

    Joan¡¯s smile returned, she was very happy to see Liza¡¯s sincerity in agreeing to ept the baby that Liza would abort because she thought it would ruin her career and future.

    ¡± I want toe petting our future baby , Liza ¡± Joan muttered softly so that Liza who was beside him could not hear it .

    Liza didn¡¯t realize Joan was standing looking at her from the balcony next door. The woman kept her focus on stroking her stomach without looking the other way.

    On the other hand, a beautiful woman wearing a formal dress barged into the main room to teach Liza a lesson.

    The guards had forbidden Yuna from entering ording to Joan¡¯s orders, but Yuna even threatened the guards back that they would immediately be reported to Ansel if they prevented Yuna from entering a house that was none other than her own husband¡¯s house.  from his job.

    Yuna smiled crookedly, she tossed her hair back.  Yuna saw the balcony door was wide open, there was a woman who was confirmed to be Liza.

    Yuna walked slowly trying not to make a sound between the shifting of her high heels and the marble floor of this house.

    Bruh¡­.

    Liza¡¯s body fell to the floor, luckily Liza¡¯s hand managed to protect her stomach, so that she didn¡¯t get hit by anything but her hand was the one that got scratched by the ss table.

    Yuna smiled in satisfaction after pushing Liza¡¯s tall body really hard from behind.

    Liza snorted looking at the woman who almost hurt her fetus, Liza¡¯s eyes looked zed.

    ¡°Why did Sis Yuna do that, Sis Yuna knows that I¡¯m pregnant, why huh?¡±  Liza snapped after she stood aligning her body with Yuna .

    Yuna looks at Liza with a murderous gaze.

    que¡­ que¡­ que¡­

    Yuna repeatedly pped Liza¡¯s cheeks, now her long fingers start to smother Liza¡¯s neck without a hint of pity.

    Liza could only let out her tears without making the slightest sound, her throat already hurt so badly being strangled by Yuna.

    ¡± Everything is because of you Liza , Joan has changed since meeting you , do you feel proud because Joan chose you over her own best friend ? ¡± Yuna gripped Liza¡¯s neck even tighter without mercy .

    Liza could only cry , holding back the pain , the woman began to feel tightness in her chest .

    ¡± Why God ? I just want to live in peace without getting violence from anyone , I just want to be happy ¡­ for once in my life ¡± Liza screamed inside out .

    ¡°LET UP, YUNA!!!¡± Toa¡¯s voice reflexively made Yuna jump in surprise and let go of her grip.

    Uh-huh¡­ uh-huh¡­

    Liza immediately coughed , the woman felt relieved because Joan came on time , if Joan had been even a minutete , Liza would have died for sure .Content bel0ngs to N?vel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

    ¡°Are you okay dear?¡± Joan embraced Liza¡¯s body and took her into the room.

    Joan sat Liza¡¯s body on one of the sofas, the man positioned Liza¡¯s face facing the ceiling of the room, Liza was still having trouble breathing until now, Joan gently pressed Liza¡¯s lungs to help her breathing return to normal.

    ¡± Is it still tight Li ? ¡± Joan asked who Liza only nodded .

    Joan scratched the back of her neck which didn¡¯t itch , now she is looking around for Liza ¡®s inhaler medication .

    Joan looked around in the nightstand, luckily some of the medicine was already in there.

    Joan quickly breathed the medicine into Liza¡¯s nose. Finally Liza could breathe normally again, the woman gave thanks because the Almighty had given her the opportunity to live.

    ¡± Are you okay dear ? ¡± Joan asked who Liza only nodded .

    ¡± Do you want to go to the hospital or just call doctor Ririn ? ¡± Joan asked again but got no answer from Liza .

    Liza only focused on looking at Yuna who was looking at her from the balcony, Yuna folded her arms in front of her chest.

    ¡°No need, you just take care of your wife!¡±  Liza said , the woman tried to stand up unsteadily to get out of the room leaving Joan and Yuna .

    Liza was sobbing behind the door , she was very scared , really scared , her trauma from the violencemitted by Zea came back to haunt her .

    Meanwhile in the spacious room, Joan was ready to argue with Yuna.  This time, Joan will make Yuna wary of her treatment.

    Joan approached Yuna, who was still faithfully standing still on the balcony.

    ¡± Are you satisfied Yuna ? ¡± Joan ¡®s voice boomed in the room until it was heard by Liza who was outside .

    ¡± No , I will not be satisfied until you divorce Liza ¡± Yuna replied challenging Joan .

    ¡± You are savage Yuna ¡± Joan ¡®s jaw tightened , the muscles in his neck began to show .

    ¡± Once again you do this , I will never forgive you ¡± Joan continued .

    The bright white woman justughed without the slightest guilt ¡°Hahaha¡­ this is just the beginning dear Arkan, I won¡¯t stop until Liza and the babypletely disappear from your life¡± Yuna said, sounding like a threat to Joan.

    Joan smiled crookedly, the man whispered something into Yuna¡¯s ear ¡°Before you kill Liza and my baby, I will kill you first YUNARA LANCASTER¡± Joan threatened, the man pushed Yuna¡¯s body away from him very roughly.

    Brak¡­

    Joan mmed her bedroom door very loudly, the man left the room leaving Yuna who was still frozen in her room alone.

    Joan was looking for Liza¡¯s whereabouts all over the room. The maids and bodyguards have also been deployed to search for Liza, exploring all the rooms in this very spacious house.

    ¡°Mr. non Liza leave this house through the back door¡± Reported Mr. Agus, the person assigned to monitor the CCTV cameras.

    ¡± Please prepare the car sir , I will go out to find Liza ! ¡± Joan shouted to one of the gate guards .

    Joan quickly took her cellphone that was left in the room to see the GPS location connected to Liza¡¯s wedding ring, the man quickly drove his car out of the yard.

    During the trip, Joan kept praying so that his wife wouldn¡¯t do reckless things because Liza always suffered from severe depression which made her attempt suicide several times when she was still an actress.

    Joan chuckled in annoyance because it was raining in the city tonight, the man could not drive his car at high speed because it could endanger other road users. Joan was forced to slow down his car, he asionally nced at his cellphone to see his wife¡¯s current location.

 50. Way Out

    Liza POV

    Happy Reading¡­

    I cried under the rain, I sat on the floor on the edge of the bridge, I rested my head on my folded hands.

    Pain , fear , that ¡®s what I feel right now .  I¡¯m afraid to face all the realities that are happening in my life right now, my hand holding my chest which feels tight, I start to stand staring at arge bridge that has arge puddle below it.

    Should I end my life here?  Do I not deserve a bit of happiness in my life, God?

    I closed my eyes , said myst prayer before ending my own life .

    I started walking to the side of the high bridge, I started climbing the sturdy wall after I took my shoes off the soles of my feet.

    My body vibrated when I saw a pool of water below me , I let go of my left hand that was tightly gripping the wall of the bridge , now only my right hand was left to support the weight of my body against the wall .

    I started to close my eyes, slowly I released my right hand from the grip of the wall. I felt my body almost float down, but a hand managed to pull my body back up.

    ¡± Are you crazy Liza ? ¡± the deep voice snapped with anxiety .

    I started to open my eyes to see who was the person who had saved my life, my heart hurt when I saw bro Joan who was holding my body, the man was sobbing, he hugged my body so tightly, like a person who was afraid of losing me in his life.

    ¡°Don¡¯t do this again, sob¡­ sob¡­¡± bro Joan hugged me even tighter so that there was no distance between us, it was hard to even breathe.

    He let go of his arms on my body , when he felt my breath that began to hitch he made .  bro Joan looked at me with a disappointed look, tears were still flowing from her beautiful eyes.

    ¡± Do you think suicide can solve all problems ? ¡± he asked softly .

    ¡°I¡¯m sorry bro¡± I said guiltily.

    bro Joan was silent , the man began to check the condition of my body from the top of my head to toe .

    He immediately grabbed my hand which was injured from hitting the ss table earlier.

    ¡°Let¡¯s go to the doctor now¡± bro Joan suddenly hugged me and sat me in the passenger seat next to the driver¡¯s seat of thetest Lamborghini Aventador car.

    The man started to step on the gas pedal , turned towards the hospital .

    ¡°I¡¯m going to divorce Yuna today too, so don¡¯t ever try to run away from me by any means, let alone by choosing the path of suicide like earlier¡± He said without turning to look at me, his gaze still focused on looking at the streets which were still wet with rainwater.

    I smiled a little, I wasn¡¯t sure about what bro Joan had said, how could she possibly divorce Yuna today, even her life still depended on her father who prioritized Yuna more than me.

    ¡± I will defy daddy , I will leave the Rivenno Group and live life with you abroad ¡± He said turning to me with all seriousness .

    ¡± Are you sure , after removing the Rivenno surname in your name , you must be prepared to lose everything at that instant , are you ready bro ? ¡± I asked , still unsure of what he was saying .

    ¡°Yes, I¡¯m ready to live a miserable life Li, as long as I¡¯m with you, I¡¯m ready to do everything¡± bro Joan wrapped her left hand around mine, but her right hand still faithfully held the steering wheel.

    ¡°I promise¡± he said seriously.

    I smiled in response, I agree with all the paths that my husband will take, it¡¯s okay for me to lose all facilities and abundant wealth, because it¡¯s better to live simply but full of warmth in the family than to live full of wealth but thirsty for affection.

    He walked towards Liam¡¯s study, taking with him the lethal object with a burning emotion in the depths of his heart.

    ¡± LIAM ¡± Called Zea in a harsh tone .

    ¡± What is it ?¡±  Liam asked softly.

    Liam stood up from his oversized chair and approached Zea who was still standing at the door.

    ¡°Have you heard the news about Liza¡¯s future broter?¡± Liam whispered, bringing his face closer to Zea¡¯s ear.

    Liam turned his face away from Zea again, Liamughed like someone who was at his wit¡¯s end when he saw a gun in Zea¡¯s hand.

    Emma immediately called an ambnce to bring the bodies of the two to Indonesia, Zea had advised her that she wanted to be buried in Indonesia only if she died, as well as Liam who has a daughter in Indonesia.

 A Surprise

    Joan Pov

    Happy Reading¡­.

    This morning Liza was still lying in the hospital bed, in fact she had been allowed to go home sincest night, but I deliberately asked the doctor to hospitalize my wife so she would not know what was happening to her parents.

    I¡¯m very afraid to tell Liza now, her condition will really get worse, I¡¯d better hide this until the bodies of my parents-inw arrive at home.All content is property ? N?velDrama.Org.

    The bodies of papah Liam and Aunt Zea will be here in 20 hours, I have informed this to my family and even the employees at home also know this sad news.

    ¡± bro Joan ¡± Called Liza who had just opened her eyes .

    ¡°Yes honey, do you want something to drink?¡± I asked while helping her sit up.

    ¡± Yes bro ¡±

    ¡°Here¡±

    ¡°Thanks¡± he said after gulping down the water in the ss I gave him just now.

    ¡± What ¡®s wrong honey ? ¡± I asked after seeing the worried expression on his face .

    Liza holds her chest with one hand .

    ¡± I do not feel good ¡± he said while staring nkly at the ceiling of the room .

    I took a deep breath , hugged that lethargic body , my mind screamed wanting to tell the news about the death of his parents , but my brain forbade him because the woman would immediately go down or get depressed again .

    I rubbed his back soothingly ¡°Don¡¯t think about it, everything will be fine babe¡±

    ¡± Nothing happened right bro ? ¡± Liza asked after letting go of our embrace .

    I was silent , confused what to answer , I finally decided to change our conversation .

    ¡°I¡¯ll be going out soon, I have urgent business, it¡¯s okay for E and Tia to take care of you right?¡±

    ¡°Yes, it¡¯s okay bro.¡± His answer was short, concise and clear.

    ¡°Thanks honey, I¡¯ll be out in a minute, you just rest okay¡± I said while kissing his forehead.

    Liza was silent , ignoring my words , her expression looks annoyed , the corners of her lips pursed .

    ¡± Oh , you are really cute , my love ¡± I pinched Liza ¡®s cheek , who looks very cute when she is angry .

    ¡°I¡­ it hurts bro¡± Liza pped my hand roughly.

    ¡± It ¡®s so cute , ¡± I said as I gave him a short kiss on his sweet lips .

    ¡± bro Joan ¡­.. ¡± Liza shouted very annoyed to see my behavior .

    ¡°I¡¯ll go first baby¡±

    Cups¡­ cups¡­ cups¡­

    I returned to kiss her gemoy cheeks repeatedly.

    I immediately ran a marathon out of the room when Liza swiftly took a pillow that she was about to throw at me.

    Outside the room, Dafa is already teasing E and Tia.

    ¡± Your chin is thinner , I like it ¡± Gombal Dafa while poking E ¡®s chin .

    ¡± It ¡®s already rags , omes ! ¡± I said while stroking Dafa ¡®s head from behind .

    The tall man turned his body towards me while grinning indistinctly.

    ¡± Uh there boss Joan ¡± he said awkwardly .

    ¡± Hello sir ¡± E and Tia greeted simultaneously .

    ¡°Please take care of Liza for a while, I¡¯ll be back this afternoon and please watch your words, don¡¯t let Liza hear this news directly from your mouths!¡± I said a little threateningly, E and Tia are indeed women who like to speak frankly.

    ¡°Okay sir, we will take good care of Miss Liza¡± E said representing.

    I just nodded at E¡¯s words, as soon as they both went straight into the room where my wife was being treated.

    Now only me and Dafa are outside the room.

    ¡°How about Daf, did Emma send you the will?¡±

    ¡± Yes boss , I will show you in the carter , ¡± answered Dafa .

    ¡°Okay, let¡¯s go now¡±

    I immediately walked ahead of Dafa to the parking lot, this morning the two of us will go to see daddy to sort out my divorce with Yuna.

    The two of us immediately got into Dafa¡¯s car, I sat in the passenger seat while Dafa sat in the driver¡¯s seat.

    ¡°Daf where?¡± I asked looking for a file on my workptop.

    ¡°Here boss¡± Dafa immediately took theptop from myp, his fingers quickly moved here and there looking for a file.

    ¡± Here , boss , I found it ¡± he said after returning theptop to myp .

    Dafa started to focus on driving the car , while I was more busy looking at the contents of the will that Papa Liam had written .

    Dear: Joan, my handsome daughter-inw, can¡¯t help it.

    Dad, I¡¯m sorry for not being able to help solve your problems, Dad, I¡¯m also sorry because so far I haven¡¯t been able to be a good mother-inw for you, son, especially for daddy¡¯s daughter Liza, daddy really loves you son, I¡¯m sorry daddy for not being a good parent all this time  for you .

    Joan , please take care of daddy ¡®s daughter , make her the only woman in your life son !  .  Don¡¯t let Liza feel what her mother feels, so papah asks you to divorce Yuna and live with Liza in America, giving up everything you have in Indonesia including your position, n, and all the wealth thates from the Rivenno family.

    Papa wants you to take care of daddy¡¯spany and business and Aunt Zea in America, don¡¯t let anyone know about Zea¡¯s identity, that way you and Liza can freely control all of Zea¡¯s assets without exception.  Joan, it¡¯s better for Liza not to know the truth about her birth mother, keep this matter a secret forever, son, because that will only make Liza worse off and me the situation.

    Please let Liza see a new world, give her happiness that she has never felt in her entire life, so far daddy¡¯s daughter has more tears thanughter.  Papah is very sure that you are a person who loves Liza more than anyone, Papah has entrusted his daughter to you, Joan.  Take good care of him , and always make him smile .

    Papah will bequeath all assets, assets of the Hope familypany in your name, move to America with your little family!

    I wiped the clear drops that wet my cheeks, I closed myptop screen then put it in the back seat.

    ¡°What¡¯s wrong boss?¡± asked Dafa, looked at me for a second then returned to focusing on the street.

    ¡± Uncle Liam ordered the boss to divorce Liza and marry Liza to me , right boss ? ¡± Dafa jokes that made me hit his head hard .

    ¡°Oh my gosh boss, that¡¯s really fierce¡± Dafa replied, not epting my treatment.

    ¡± Do not do this in broad daylight , Daf ! ¡± My snaps suddenly made Dafaugh .

    ¡°Hahaha¡­ just one time boss, uncle Liam has blessed me to be his son-inw in his ce¡± he said, still roaring withughter.

    ¡°You don¡¯t have to wait for me, I won¡¯t let go of Liza until the end of time,¡± I said seriously.

    Dafa nced up , there was a look of disappointment in his eyes .  Seeing her expression like that really sickens me , luckily Liza is already legally my wife , so I don¡¯t need to worry if Dafa targets my wife as a woman to be made fun of by him next .

    ¡°Daf, have you prepared well?¡± I asked to make sure.

    ¡± Done boss , everything has been carefully prepared ¡± He replied still in a cold tone .

    ¡°Doctor Ririn did you call too?¡±

    ¡°Yes boss, it was Aileen who contacted Ririn¡¯s doctor¡±

    I breathed a sigh of relief after hearing the answer from Dafa, I deliberately asked him to call Doctor Ririn toe to the funeral tomorrow, just in case something happened to my wife.

    ¡°Good, make sure everything goes smoothly tomorrow¡± I said while giving a thumbs up.

    ¡± Yes Boss ¡±

    ¡°Thank you Daf¡±

    Our conversation stopped when I chose to close my eyes to relieve my sleepiness due to staying up all night.

    ***

    ¡± Boss , we have arrived ¡± Dafa called while rocking my body which was already fast asleep for a few minutes .

    Half conscious I immediately got out of the car, entered the halls of the mansion towards the main door. Dafa embraced my body which was still staggering until I entered papah¡¯s work room.

    In that room there were mom, dad and also bro Sarah who were gathering to talk about something.

    I started shaking my parents¡¯ hands in turn, followed by Dafa who also did the same.

    ¡± How is your wife , is she okay ? ¡±  Papa asked after I sat down beside Sarah and Dafa.

    ¡°Liza I haven¡¯t told you yet dad¡± I answered softly.

    ¡°Howe you haven¡¯t told me, Jo?¡± asked broter Sarah, raising her voice a little, she looked irritated at what I was saying.

    ¡°I¡¯m afraid that things will go down again bro, so I thought it would be better for Liza to know when the body came to the house bro¡± I exined which was immediately confirmed by mom.

    ¡°What you¡¯re doing is right honey, it¡¯s better for Liza not to know about this now, so she won¡¯t be sad too long, right dad?¡±

    Papah nodded, agreed with Mama¡¯s words ¡°Yes, Papa agreed with your opinion mah¡±

    ¡± Oh yes daddy , my intention is here because I want to show you something ¡± I said looking alternately at mom and dad .

    ¡°Show me what honey?¡± Mom asked curiously.

    I immediately took my cellphone out of my trouser pocket, I searched for a video on the cellphone and I immediately showed papa the video that I had copied from the CCTV at home.

    The video shows Yuna¡¯s rude behavior, who ps Liza many times and even strangles her blindly.

    Papah¡¯s eyes widened and so did Mama¡¯s. bro Sarah, who was surprised by the contents of the video, immediately grabbed the cellphone from Papa¡¯s hand.

    bro Sarah also shook her head in disbelief that Yuna, who she had always known as a kind-hearted woman and never touched anyone, including even killing insects, turned out to be a very cruel woman.

    ¡± I will divorce Yuna , leave the Rivenno family and live a new life as Joan Arkan Hope in America with Liza and my children ¡± I exined , which suddenly made the four people in the room look at me with disbelief .

    In their eyes I¡¯m just a man who is far from independent and always depends on his family, but it¡¯s different this time, I¡¯ve be a husband who willter be a father to my children, I want to stand on my own feet, my goal now is to make my three children happy.  that person and left my past in this country. I will carry out my responsibility alone, without anyone¡¯s help, not father, mother, or broter Sarah. I only need Liza, only Liza is alone in my life.

    POV 3

    Liza opened her eyes slowly when the sunlight came in through the window, the woman started to sit up leaning her back on the head of the bed.  Her eyes began to trace the whereabouts of the man whose status was her husband, but the man was not in the room at the moment.

    Liza started to lower her feet onto the floor, she first tied up her slightly messy hair.  Liza started to walk out of the room and swung her feet down each step.

    Liza¡¯s eyes widened when she saw a crowd downstairs, all of her parents¡¯ rtives and business friends were also in the room.

    ¡°Is there an event?¡±  Inner Liza.

    Liza shook off her thoughts , what happened at her house this morning was not a celebration event or a happy party , but her house has now been used as a funeral home .

    Liza¡¯s chest felt tighter when she saw Joan carrying a crate with several other people including Dafa and her father-inw, Liam.

    After finishing carrying the casket containing her father¡¯s body to the living room, Joan immediately rushed up to the second floor to meet Liza.

    Joan waspletely shocked when she saw that his wife was already on the stairs witnessing all that was happening downstairs.

    ¡± What ¡®s wrong bro , who died ? ¡± Asked Liza who still did not understand .

    Joan was silent , the man looked devastated , his eyes were swollen and his nose was red like someone who had been crying for hours .

    ¡± bro Joan ¡± Liza called again to interrupt Joan ¡®s reverie .

    ¡± You have to be strong Li ¡± Joan said softly while embracing his wife ¡®s body , which suddenly made Liza even more surprised by her .

    Coupled with that, Joan was already crying and sobbing in Liza¡¯s arms.

    ¡°What¡¯s wrong bro, whose body did you bring?¡±  Asked Liza who was still in a calm state even though her gut feeling said something was wrong.

    ¡°Your papa and mama died Li¡± Joan said softly.

    Liza was stunned, she began to let go of her embrace, her body began to shake violently, she shook her head in disbelief at her husband¡¯s words.

    ¡± No ¡­ you are lying right ? ¡± Liza argued still in disbelief .

    ¡°I¡¯m serious dear, your father and mother died the day before yesterday,¡± said Joan whileforting Liza who was starting to look shocked.

    ¡± It can¡¯t be bro¡­ sob¡­. sob¡­.¡± Liza¡¯s sobs were getting worse.

    ¡°Be strong dear, this is the best for your parents, God loves them more¡± Joan said while stroking his wife¡¯s back.

    Liza was silent, staring nkly at her husband, her crying subsided a little when she imagined her parents were happy and loved each other in nature.  Liza smiled imagining things that were impossible for her to see in the world, as long as she was alive she had never seen the parents who gave birth to her to the world establish sincere love.

    Even though she felt very sick and lost , this bitter reality had to be swallowed by Liza , true to her husband ¡®s words , this was the best way given by God for the two people she loved so much .

    Liza started to straighten her body which started to stagger asbroted by Joan who also embraced his wife¡¯s body to their private room.

    Arriving in the room, Liza immediately cleaned herself up for a few minutes, while Joan chose one of the ck clothes in the walk in closet for his wife to wear.

    After taking a ck suit for Liza , Joan immediately gave it from behind the bathroom door .

    After that night he and Liza had never had husband and wife intercourse again, so it was very awkward for them to see each other¡¯s naked bodies again.

    ¡± Already dear ? ¡± asked Joan who had just seen his wifeing out of the bathroom .

    ¡°Yes,¡± Liza answered tiredly.

    Joan got up from the sofa and began to approach his wife. Joan stroked his wife¡¯s arm gently.

    ¡°You have to be steadfast Li, this is the best way for them, your father and mother have never loved each other in their entire life, even the hatred is still felt until death takes their lives¡± Joan exined, which made Liza dumbfounded looking at her husband¡¯s calm eyes.

    Liza nodded her head slowly, she tried to strengthen her heart and body.

    Joan began to hold his wife¡¯s hand to go downstairs.  In the middle of the room, Auris and Sarah are already paying their respects to Liza¡¯ste parents.

    Liza sat near her parents¡¯ coffins, she started to put some flowers beside Zea¡¯s and Liam¡¯s bodies.

    Liza cried uncontrobly when the cloth covering Zea¡¯s and Liam¡¯s faces was opened by Joan.Content bel0ngs to N?vel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

    ¡°Be patient dear¡± Auris said to calm Liza.

    ¡°bro, what caused my mother and father to die¡­.?¡± Liza looked at her husband, she was amazed when she saw a gunshot wound on the head of thete Liam.

    ¡°Your mom shot papa first, then he fired bullets at his own liver organs, they died right away at Li¡¯s ce,¡± Joan exined softly.

    Liza¡¯s crying broke even more, Joan pulled his wife¡¯s body into his arms,

    ¡°bro¡­.. why did they leave me alone, sob¡­ sob¡­ sob¡­¡±

    ¡± Those who are patient , dear , this is the best way for them ¡± Joan stroked his wife ¡®s flowing hair in a very beautiful manner .

    ¡± I have Li , we have our children , you will not be alone in this world ¡± Joan said again .

    Liza started to calm down a little , it is true what Joan said , she is not alone in this world , there will be two little angels who will soon be present in her life .

    Slowly Liza began to let go of her hands that were wrapped around Joan¡¯s waist, she moved her body a few centimeters away from her husband and turned to Emma who was chatting with some of Zea¡¯s business partners.

    In contrast to Joan who chose to stay beside Liam¡¯s body apanied by Auris, Ansel and Sarah.  For him, Liam is a good father-inw. Previously, he was annoyed because Liam¡¯s attitude was no different from Zea¡¯s, but now he understands why his father-inw behaved like that.

    Ansel burst into tears when he saw the body of his best friend lying motionless in the coffin , he felt guilty for marrying Joan to Yuna .  This is all because of Gio, Yuna¡¯s father who always incites himself and says that Liam¡¯s offspring are cunning women.

    Ansel had given up and admitted all his mistakes, this time he would let his beloved son disappear from his life and let him live a new chapter with the woman he cared about.

    Joan couldn¡¯t bear to see her father¡¯s expression, she chose to move closer to Liza who was discussing something with Emma.

    ¡± What caused them to fight so badly , Emma ? ¡± Liza asked herte mother ¡®s secretary .

    ¡°Emmmm¡­..¡± Emma hung up on her words, she couldn¡¯t bear to say this to Liza.

    ¡± Just tell Emma ! ¡± Joan said , who had juste over to them .

    ¡± Mr. Liam impregnated a prostitute , Non . ¡±  Emma said while lowering her head.

    Liza sighed in annoyance, who exactly was the damn woman who had been impregnated by her father.  Liza had run out of patience this time , she would really finish off that woman with her own hands .

    ¡± WHO IS THAT WOMAN ? ¡± Liza snapped which made everyone in the room turn towards them .

    ¡± Li control yourself , now is not the time to talk about that woman ¡®s problems ¡± Joan pleaded tofort his wife who was starting to lose control .

    With a bit of annoyance , Joan pulled his wife ¡®s body away from Emma .  Currently Joan took Liza to the back garden which has a big pond around it .

    ¡°Please control your emotions Li, your parents¡¯ funeral will soon begin, don¡¯t make a scene!¡± Joan said, slightly raising her tone.

    Liza threw Joan¡¯s hand away roughly ¡°Don¡¯t get involved bro¡­ this is my family¡¯s problem¡±

    Joan held Liza¡¯s V-shaped face with both hands ¡°They are also my family Li, I am your husband, I have the right to interfere in your life¡±

    Liza ¡®s selfishness melted away , looking into her husband ¡®s beautiful eyes made her anger fade instantly .

    ¡± Don¡¯t worry honey , I will help you , we will soon move to America and meet that woman ¡± Joan said seriously .

    Liza shed tears again, it seemed that God had predestined this path for her, Liza had lost everything, now she lives alone, has the status of an orphan, only Joan is her refuge.

    ¡°Before he died, my father asked me to take care of hispany in America. I sent divorce papers yesterday afternoon to Yuna. I also gave up all my positions and surname. I will leave everything that I have achieved in this country, including my own family,¡± Joan exined long  wide .

    Liza was stunned, she was very surprised by her husband¡¯s exnation, how could this man in front of her be willing to let go of everything without thinking about it?

    ¡°Why are you doing this bro?¡± Liza asked.

    ¡± I want to live with you and our future children in America . I want to open a new page , in a world that will not make me feel confined anymore , because living with you feels like living in heaven on earth . Are you ready , honey ? ¡± Joan held both hands .  his wife¡¯s tiny hands

    ¡± Yes , I do ¡± Liza replied , she did not want to let a man as sincere as Joan run away from her life , nor would she let her two children feel what she had been feeling due to her parents fighting .

    From now on, Liza¡¯s soul and body only belong to Joan alone, whether it¡¯s Dn or whoever it is, no man can take Joan¡¯s position in Liza¡¯s heart.

    Joan smiled , she had never felt this happy in her life .  Meeting Liza was what Joan had been waiting for all her life , she finally met a star whose light could perfectly illuminate her life .

    The two of them hugged each other with great emotion, there was no more one-sided love between them, Liza felt very grateful even though she lost her parents, because the presence of Joan and her two future children made her forget the pain of her dark past.

 Goodbye

    POV 3

    This afternoon the funeral was finished , the house where Liza and Joan lived was quiet again because the guests had left an hour ago , including Joan ¡®s family who also came home because of their busy schedules .

    In the house, only a few household members were seen cleaning the downstairs room, some were sweeping the front yard, some were scattered downstairs and in the kitchen.

    Joan sat down on a sofa in the living room, his current position across from his wife¡¯s sitting position.

    ¡± Are you tired Li ? ¡± asked Joan who saw his wife closing her eyes .

    ¡± Not bad , ¡± Liza replied , which instantly made Joan ¡®s heart beat fast , this was the first time Liza called her affectionately .

    Joan grinned incoherently , the woman whose status as his wife really made him flinch in seconds .  Luckily Liza still had her eyes closed , so Joan ¡®s current expression was not seen by her .

    ¡°By the way, when are we going to America dear?¡± Asked Liza who had started to open her eyes and straightened her sitting position.

    Joan seemed to think for a moment, until a word came out of her mouth ¡°Tonight¡±

    Liza rolled her eyes ¡± Seriously darling ? ¡± She asked to which Joan nodded in response .

    ¡± The sooner the better Li , after all our business is done here ¡± Joan exined again , which made Liza even more furious .

    Liza really has no business in this country , her profession as an actress has also been shattered , all her work contracts have also been canceled and herpensation has been paid in full by Joan .

    But the only thing left in this country is Dn, the man who has filled her heart for years. Liza can¡¯t leave Dn this fast, this man loves her so much he¡¯s never even been close to any woman other than Liza.

    In Dn¡¯s eyes, Liza is a woman who doesn¡¯t discriminate, that¡¯s what makes Dnfortable around Lizapared to other beautiful women.  Because they always feel ill when they know the truth that Dn is the son of a farmer.

    ¡± Li , do you mind ? ¡± Joan ¡®s deep voice interrupted Liza ¡®s reverie .

    Liza was silent, she didn¡¯t want to say anything that would make Joan worry about the feelings she gave him.

    ¡°Nope¡­¡± Liza answered quietly.

    Joan smiled faintly , he could understand Liza ¡®s current feelings .

    ¡°I don¡¯t mind if you want to say goodbye to Dn first,¡± said Joan, bringing relief to Liza¡¯s mind.

    Liza raised one eyebrow ¡°Are you not jealous like that?¡±

    Joan ruffled his wife¡¯s hair excitedly ¡°No, this is just yourst meeting anyway, I also can¡¯t bear to look at Dn, at least give him an exnation before we leave¡±

    Liza gaped at Joan¡¯s attitude which had changed 90 degrees, Joan now is a man who can act mature and not possessive like when he first met her.

    ¡°Okay, if you really ask that, but you¡¯reing with me to meet Dn right?¡±

    Joan shook his head ¡°You don¡¯t have to find Dn alone, I don¡¯t want to hurt Dn even more by seeing meing.¡±

    ¡± But ¡­.¡±

    Joan held his wife ¡®s shoulder , she reassured Liza that she was fine .

    ¡°Don¡¯t mind me, I won¡¯t get angry and think bad things about you.¡±

    ¡± I will order Dafa to take you to Dn ¡®s apartment ¡± Joan continued , the man started to take his cell phone out of his trouser pocket and immediately called someone on the other side .

    ***

    Ting¡­ tong¡­ Ting¡­ tong¡­.

    Liza pressed the bell button on the apartment unit , this time she was apanied by Dafa who was assigned by Joan to drive her safely to her destination .

    ¡± Li , your ex is not at home , ¡± said Dafa when there was no answer from inside , even though they had been standing for five minutes in front of the apartment door .

    ¡± Howe bro , I already contacted him beforeing here ¡± Liza rebutted .

    Dafa scratches the back of his neck which doesn¡¯t itch at all, he has mixed feelings at the moment, he feels hurt because Joan and Liza left him, as a result Dafa has to be thrown into one of Ansel¡¯s subordinates whose working system is very hard.

    ¡°Uh, sorry Li, I just finished taking a shower,¡± said Dn who had just opened the door, the man was seen wearing a white kimono with wet and messy hair like someone who had washed his hair but had not yetbed it.

    Dafa red at him , what exactly did the man rivaling his boss mean , did he want to impress Liza with his good looks when he had taken a bath ?  Even goats that have been bathed will also look handsome in human eyes.

    Liza smiled showing a row of neat teeth at Dn. She immediately entered the room followed by Dafa who was following behind her, actually Joan didn¡¯t ask her toe in and eavesdrop on the conversation between Liza and Dn, but the clothes Dn was wearing made Dafa nervous.

    Dafa started to sit rxed on the sofa, as if she were in her own house. Liza could only shake her head at the boy¡¯s bad behavior.

    ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Lan, bro. Dafa really likes to be shy,¡± Liza said, which Dn replied with a small chuckle.

    ¡°Hehehe¡­ it¡¯s okay Li, just rx¡±

    Dn replied while keeping a tray of drinks and some snacks on the table.

    ¡°Sorry grandpa Dn, our purpose here is not to be friendly, but to say goodbye¡± said the culprit Dafa without preamble, the man raised his two feet on the table, Dafa took out a cigarette from the pocket of his jeans jacket and immediately smoked it deliciously.

    Dn raised his eyebrows at Liza, he didn¡¯t understand Dafa¡¯s words at all.

    Liza got up from her seat and took Dn¡¯s hand to move towards the dining room, Liza couldn¡¯t stand Dafa¡¯s behavior which was far from polite, it was obvious that she was pregnant, smoking near Liza was tantamount to harming her fetus.  He also needs privacy to talk about all things with Dn.

    ¡°Li, I¡¯m sorry for the death of your parents,¡± said Dn full of regret because he learned the newste about Liam and Zea¡¯s death, becausest night he had to be on set and didn¡¯t have time to open his cell phone or watch the news on television.

    ¡°Yes, thanks for your words, Lan, I also didn¡¯t expect to be an orphan so soon,¡± Liza replied while wiping the tears that started to fall down her cheeks.

    Dn pulled Liza¡¯s body into his arms, unfortunately Liza let go of the hug roughly and put a barrier between them.

    ¡°Sorryn, I can¡¯t be like this¡± Liza said haltingly.

    ¡°What¡¯s wrong Li, why are you being like this with me?¡±

    ¡°I don¡¯t want to give you hope anymore, from now on please forget about me, find a woman who can ept you and treat you very well!¡± Liza let go of her hand which Dn had been holding tightly.

    ¡°Tonight, bro Joan and I will move to America, we will live a new life there,¡± Liza continued, breaking Dn¡¯s heart.

    ¡°Mo-move?¡± Dn asked awkwardly and Liza gave a small nod.

    ¡°Forever Li?¡± Dn asked again.

    ¡°Yesn, I will nevere back to Indonesia again, bro Joan is willing to let go of all the things that are very important to her for me. Please understand!¡±

    Dn sobbed, he held his head which felt very dizzy, his mind felt very chaotic, Liza was the woman he really wanted to marry for the rest of his life, but why?

    ¡°Li ¡­. You can¡¯t do this ¡­. it¡¯s not fair to me ¡­.¡±

    ¡°You promised that you would agree to marry me when my illness ispletely healed,¡± Dn argued while hugging Liza¡¯s body very tightly.

    ¡°I¡¯m sorry ¡­ this is the best for us and ¡­ I want to give happiness to my two future children and also to bro Joan, in my heart now there is only bro Joan alone¡± Liza stroked Dn¡¯s back who was already crying uncontrobly  in his embrace .¡±Please find a better woman than men, I have one request for Lon, please open your heart for Nina, all this time Nina has kept her feelings because she doesn¡¯t want to ruin our rtionship¡± Nina is Liza¡¯s close friend who has also done a drama  with Dn.  Even though she never confided in Liza about this problem directly , Liza could see from Nina ¡®s movements .

    ¡°Goodbye Lan, take good care of yourself and convey my apologies to your family, thank you very much for all your kindness so far andn¡±

    ***

    On the other hand, Joan was putting baby clothes that Liza bought the other day into a medium-sized suitcase.

    There were more or less ten pairs of baby clothes neatly arranged into suitcases, another twenty pairs were deliberately left by Joan at home because she didn¡¯t want to bring too many clothes. If only Liza didn¡¯t force her to bring clothes for her future baby, more  well all the clothes are kept here as a keepsake .

    Joan put in some more of hers and Liza¡¯s clothesbined with clothes for their baby.

    ¡°Tia, Liza and Dafa have you gone home yet?¡±  Joan asked Tia who was helping her put Liza¡¯s clothes on.

    ¡°Not yet sir, do I need to contact non Liza?¡±

    ¡°No need, Tia, just make sure that none of Liza¡¯s belongings are left in this house, because at 7 pm we both have to be on standby on the ne.¡±

    7 Months Later

    7 months have passed, the days that Joan lived as the leader of argepany, Hope Group, made her turn into a very independent and responsible man.

    Hope Group has grown rapidly since being managed by Joan, as well as Liza who also manages apany that houses thousands of great bodyguards that were developed by thete Zea.

    Even though both of them are busy with their respective activities, they feel no longer lonely because they can divide their time between work and family.

    Joan has changed a lot now, she has be more patient and always makes time for Liza.  For Joan , being beside Liza is endless happiness .

    The happiness increased again from this second, because the two little angels they had been waiting for for nine months had been born into the world.

    Today Liza gave birth to her twins by Caesarean section, luckily they have a boy and a girl.

    Their first baby, a boy, was named Keenan Danendra, while their second baby, a girl, was named Kirana Agatha.

    Joan smiled while looking closely at her two babies who were still in the incubator.  Unlike the case with Liza who is still being treated in the ICU because her condition is still unstable, she experiencedplications during the operation.

    Joan was holding one of her babies who had just been taken out by a nurse from the incubator room.

    ¡± Hello daddy , wee to the world ¡± Joan said full of emotion while ying with her baby ¡®s tiny hands .

    The man had tears in his eyes , in his eyes a perfect masterpiece of God , his little baby ¡®s face was really very simr to his .

    ¡°Sorry sir, I want to report something,¡± said Emma, ??who had just entered the room.

    ¡°What¡¯s wrong Emma?¡±

    Joan gave her baby back to the nurse to put it back in the incubator.

    ¡± Sorry sir , I got the news that Grace had given birth to her baby prematurely ¡± Emma said .

    Grace is a woman who was pregnant by Joan¡¯ste father-inw, before Grace inbroted on having an abortion, but Liza and Joan forbade it and would give Grace 10 billion in cash if she was able to give birth to the baby and give it to Liza to take care of, after that Grace was not allowed to  touch or see her child again forever.

    Liza didn¡¯t want her broter to bebeled bad because she was born to Grace who was a prostitute.

    ¡± Please move the baby to this hospital , and take care of Grace as soon as possible lest she take the baby after beingpensated ¡± Joan asked firmly .

    ¡± Yes sir , I have dispatched several bodyguards to guard Grace ¡®s ward . ¡± Emma lowered her head slightly .

    ¡°Thanks Emma, ??you may go!¡±

    Emma first bowed her head 90 degrees to her master and she left Joan in the baby care room.

    Joan started asking one of the doctors who had just entered the room to check on the condition of her baby. Joan expressed her gratitude when the doctor said that her baby could be taken out of the incubator today.

    Joan immediately brought her two babies into Liza¡¯s care room, since before Liza had not seen her own baby because she suddenly fainted due to the anesthetic.

    Liza¡¯s eyes lit up when she saw her husband enter with her twin babies in herp.

    ¡± Darling , I want to carry Kiran ¡± Liza took her baby girl from Joan ¡®sp .

    ¡°Mommy¡¯s child is really pretty¡± Liza kissed her baby¡¯s cheek fondly.

    ¡°Kiran looks just like his mommy, he¡¯s really pretty¡± Joanplimented, which immediately made Liza blush.

    ¡± Keenan also looks like his Daddy , he is very handsome , ¡± Praise Liza , which immediately made Joanugh god ¨C level glee .

    ¡°Honey, Kiran, let me carry it, I¡¯m sorry your stomach still hurts.¡± Joan put Keenan in the baby box and took Kiran from Liza¡¯sp.

    Liza looks a little disappointed because she can¡¯t hold her baby yet.

    ¡± Be patient dear ,ter when your wounds are healed you are free to carry them even 24 hours straight ¡± said Joan to which Liza nodded in return .

    ¡± Li , your broter has been born ¡± Joan said , which immediately made Liza look a little surprised .

    ¡°Isn¡¯t it in a month, huh?¡± Liza asked, as far as Liza knows Grace¡¯s womb is still eight months old at this time. The difference between their pregnancies is about a month.

    ¡± Your broter was born prematurely Li , Grace was bleeding yesterday , so the doctor suggested immediate surgery ¡± Joan exined to which Liza nodded in return .

    Liza looked at her husband ufortably , she was afraid that Joan would feel disturbed by the presence of her broter in the midst of their small family .

    ¡± You do not mind darling , if my broter lives with us ? ¡± Liza asked to make sure .

    Joan smiled broadly in response to his wife¡¯s question ¡°No, after all the baby is the same blood as you. Only you are owned by him now¡± Joan stroked his wife¡¯s hair gently, the next second he kissed Liza¡¯s forehead lovingly.

    After he finished kissing his wife on the forehead , Joan moved his face closer to Liza ¡®s ear ¡± Thank you dear , I am very happy now because you have given me three children at once ¡± Joan whispered .

    Liza knit her eyebrows ¡± Three children ? What do you mean dear ? ¡± Liza asked in surprise , she only gave birth to twins in a year , then why did Joan mention three children at once .

    ¡°The other is your brother Li, I will raise your brother to be my third son¡±

    Liza¡¯s eyes widened, she shook her head disapprovingly.  He couldn¡¯t possibly make his own little brother his son.  What will people say about it ?

    ¡± Li , I think it is better if your broter is seen by others as our child , rather than the child of ady of the night like Grace , I am afraid your broter will be ostracizedter ¡± Joan objected , she had indeed thought about this matter long ago .

    Liza was silent , she seemed to be thinking for a moment . The next minute she looked at Joan who wasforting baby Kiran who had started to cry .

    ¡°Kiran may be thirsty honey, here love me first!¡±

    Joan immediately gave baby Kiran to Liza to breastfeed.

    Liza stared nkly at the baby she was nursing at the moment, her baby was very lucky because she still had both parents by her side.  Meanwhile, his younger sibling who had just been born had be an orphan and had a mother who had never expected his presence in the world at all.

    ¡°Okay, I agree to raise my broter to be my child. But how can I make sure she doesn¡¯t know the truth honey?¡±

    Instantly happiness radiated on Joan¡¯s handsome face when those words came out of his wife¡¯s mouth, Joan promised himself to love Liza¡¯s broter as much as he loved his twin babies.

    ¡± Tell everyone that the babies you gave birth to are triplets , so no one will be able to find out about your broter ¡®s identity dear ¡± Joan said as she tucked Liza in a strand of hair .

    ¡°Are you okay dear?¡±

    ¡± No honey , I ¡®m actually happier to have more children ¡± Joan hugged his wife ¡®s body , while Liza was still unsure about her decision .

    ¡± But ¡­ ¡± Liza hung up his words .

    Joan chuckled in annoyance ¡°ugh ¡­ I don¡¯t really believe you honey, I promise I will be fair and treat your broter like my own flesh and blood¡±

    Liza smiled , she began to believe her husband ¡®s words .  Besides, Joan is a man who always keeps his promises, he is sure that Joan will be kind to his broter.

    ¡± What do you want to name our third baby Li ? ¡± Joan asked with a smile .

    ¡± His name is better equated with Keenan aja dear ¡±

    ¡°How about Kenzie Affandra?¡± Joan asked after thinking about several name ideas.

    Liza nodded nodding her head ¡°That¡¯s a good name, the name is quite simr to Keenan¡±

    ¡°Finally, now our house won¡¯t be lonely anymore dear, because there are Keenan, Kiran and also Kenzie¡± Joan said, not realizing that her tears were just dripping.

    ¡± Yes honey , I feel reborn as a mother ¡± Liza looked at her two babies in turn , she was very grateful for the presence of the three babies in her life .

    ¡°Thank you very much Liza, I promise I will make the four of you happy¡± Joan kissed his wife¡¯s forehead again with great love.

    ¡± Thank you too , because all this time we have been good husbands for me , I hope you will be a good father for our children too , ¡± Liza said , reflexively kissing Joan on the lips briefly .

    Being the wife of Joan is a glory for Liza, if only she had never rejected Joan from the start, maybe she could have felt that happiness long ago. But now it¡¯s not toote, Liza will try to be a perfect wife and also a good mother.  for her three children.

    Liza hopes that this happiness willst forever, even though there are no parents or Dn in her life anymore.

    Simr to what Joan felt, moving to America made her feel that she was an orphan because she was far from her parents. But why be with someone who can only restrain her? Joan also wants to find genuine happiness from someone like Liza.

    There is no happier day for Joan than today, he will try to be a good father to his three babies. He will never choose Kenzie because it is not his flesh and blood, for Joan Kenzie it is more important than his own two babies, because Kenzie is the same blood as him.  the woman he loved the most in this world.

    ***

    Ok¡­ Okay¡­ Okay¡­

    Liza and Joan looked overwhelmed taking care of their three babies who looked very fussy tonight.  Even though they had a lot of wealth, they were reluctant to hire a baby sitter to take care of the three tiny babies. That was all because of Liza¡¯s wish, she just didn¡¯t want her baby to be taken care of by other people.

    ¡°Cup¡­ cup¡­ cup, don¡¯t cry, papa, the most handsome boy,¡± Joan continued to rock baby Keenan on herp. Meanwhile, Liza was still busy breastfeeding her second baby.

    Ok¡­ Okay¡­ Okay¡­

    ¡°Oh, it¡¯s a shame Kenzie is crying,¡± Joanined while giving Liza baby Keenan first.

    While he switched to taking the youngest to be given form milk.  Liza is aware that it is uwful to breastfeed her own sibling, therefore she only gives form milk to Kenzie, unlike Keenan and Kiran, who are breastfed directly by her.

    While holding Kenzie¡¯s pacifier, Joan slowly sat down beside Liza who was holding the twins in herp.

    Liza and Joan looked at each other with amused smiles.

    ¡°I never thought that having a child would be this troublesome, hehehehe,¡± Joanughed lightly, and the beautiful woman beside himughed in return.

    ¡°Hm, why? Do you want some more honey? A dozen? Two dozen?¡± Liza asked, teasing her husband.

    Joan smiled crookedly, she couldn¡¯t imagine if she had to look after dozens of babies, she would never sleep for a period of time because she was taking care of her baby who didn¡¯t know her at that time.

    ¡°Are you capable, Li? If you can, go ahead! ¡± Joan pinched his wife¡¯s cheek fondly.

    Liza shook her head while smiling faintly, ¡°Nope. Having three children is already a hassle! What¡¯s more.¡±

    ¡°Yes, you¡¯re right Li, I don¡¯t mind if you don¡¯t get pregnant after this. I can¡¯t bear to see you pregnant, give birth, take care of the child alone when I¡¯m not at home.¡±

    ¡°Are you serious, honey?¡±

    Joan nodded slowly, ¡°Seriously, three children are enough for me Li. From now on I will not demand anything from you except to stay beside me and raise our three children together.¡±

    Liza was stunned to hear her husband¡¯s story, for her having Joan beside her made her feel perfect. Which wife likes to be demanded of something?  He wants to be free!  Free to do anything but not deviate from her duties as a wife and also a mother to her three children.

    Liza kissed her husband¡¯s forehead, even though the three babies who were lying in the middle of them created some distance for them.

    cup.

    ¡°Thank you honey, thank you for being such an understanding husband. I¡¯m sorry I didn¡¯t try to love you from the first time we met.¡±

    ¡°Ah, I¡¯m really sorry that time,¡± Liza took a deep breath, her thoughts repeated again when she rejected Joan and preferred to give her heart to Dn.All content is property ? N?velDrama.Org.

    ¡°Don¡¯t remember those times honey, just think about our future! It¡¯s okay, I¡¯ve forgotten about that, I¡¯m sorry too for being rude the first time I met you,¡± Joan said softly.

    Lizaughed, ¡°ha-ha-ha, at night we made twins, didn¡¯t we? Don¡¯t worry, I also forgot about that night. In fact, I¡¯m happy because the seeds we produced turned out to be superior seeds.¡±

    Laughter immediately exploded between them. Remembering the incident was indeed heartbreaking but in fact the results were very satisfying.  They have a baby boy and girl who have visuals as beautiful as Liza and as handsome as Joan.

 Extra Part 1

    Liza looks overwhelmed taking care of her three babies alone.  The night was pitch ck, the smooth white woman was still faithful to staying upte breastfeeding her baby in turns.  Except for Kenzie who was only given form milk.  While her two biological babies were breastfed by her.

    Ok¡­ Okay¡­ Okay¡­

    Baby Keenan¡¯s cry sounded very loud, the baby with a face simr to Joan wasid in a baby box with all blue nuances.

    Liza looked confused because she was breastfeeding Kiran in her arms. She couldn¡¯t hold her two babies at the same time if one of them was being breastfed by her.

    ¡°Honey! Wake up!¡±Liza shook Joan¡¯s arm who was fast asleep beside her.

    Joan, who still looked very sleepy, immediately blinked several times at his wife, ¡°Wait a minute, Li, still sleepy,¡± answered Joan as he closed his eyes again, continuing his disturbed dream.N?velDrama.Org owns this text.

    Liza looked annoyed and pinched her husband¡¯s stomach hard, ¡°Wake up! Poor Keenan keeps crying!¡±  Liza screamed thunderously.

    Joan winced in pain while stroking her stomach which looked red from Liza¡¯s pinch. Lazily the man got down from the king size bed and took his first baby in the baby box.

    Even though this was the first experience for Joan to be a father, the man seemed to be good at holding his son in his arms.

    ¡°Ouch, Daddy¡¯s most handsome son, why are you crying? Dedek is hungry? Poor Daddy¡¯s child,¡± he kissed his son¡¯s cheeks, which looked red.

    Baby Keenan seemed to start to calm down on his daddy¡¯sp. Joan started to talk to the baby in a childish ent. The man sat down on the sofa that was ced next to Keenan¡¯s baby box.

    ¡°It¡¯s a shame if Keenan doesn¡¯t stop crying, just give him form first!¡±  said Liza who was still busy breastfeeding her second baby.

    ¡°It¡¯s not fussy anymore, Li. Just give it breast milk, when it¡¯s finished, Kiran will take turns with Keenan, okay?¡±

    ¡°Yes bro,¡± Liza replied resignedly.

    Joan would have preferred Liza¡¯s two twins to be breastfed directly, rather than form milk.  But that doesn¡¯t apply to Kenzie, whose status is Liza¡¯s younger broter. They are the same blood, born from the same father.

    This morning Joan looked very handsome in a navy blue suit and a white tie with a checkered pattern. The athletic man was looking in the mirror in front of therge mirror in his walk in closet.

    Liza who just entered the room narrowed her eyes at her husband.

    ¡°I¡¯ve seen it already! You¡¯re already handsome. Watch out if you spread your charms with other girls! I¡¯m not willing, bro! I¡¯m afraid my body is already different because I just gave birth!¡±  threatened Liza with a cynical look.

    Yes!  Recently, Liza has often felt insecure about her own body shape. She is more possessive of her husband for fear that this handsome, well-established man will have a different heart.

    Joanughed in amusement as he turned his body to face his wife. Liza¡¯s body hugging her made Liza flinch in surprise.

    ¡°There¡¯s only you in my heart, Li. It doesn¡¯t matter how changed your body shape is now,¡± Joan whispered, making Liza slightly touched, but Liza wouldn¡¯t believe 100 percent of the words of the man who was embracing her at this moment.

    Liza slowly released her body from Joan¡¯s embrace. The beautiful woman smiled very sweetly while saying, ¡°I hope you can prove your words.¡±

    Joan nodded with a face full of seriousness, ¡°Yes, I will definitely prove it to you, dear Liza.¡±

    Again Liza responded with a smile.

    ¡°Yes, I will see the proof.¡±

    Liza walked away past her husband, the woman was seen walking towards the room where the clothes were stored for her three babies.  There are very neatly arranged clothes, shoes, to essories for their babies.

    Liza took a pair of pink clothes.  She will wear it on her baby girl, Kiran, who has just woken up from sleep.  While the other two babies were still fast asleep in their respective baby boxes.

    ¡°Kiran awake, Li?¡±  asked Joan when she saw Lizaing out of the room wearing a pair of pink baby clothes, which she was sure Kiran would wear.

    Liza responded with a small nod. The man ignored her husband and instead was busy taking care of baby Kiran who was still wearing hampers without cloth.

    Baby Kiran was ced on their bed, Liza looked like she was good at dressing her daughter. This was her first experience being a mother, but it was very enjoyable for her.  She didn¡¯t experience the baby blues at all, even though she had to take care of all three babies at once without using the services of a baby sitter.

    Joan is very proud of his young wife, Liza is a very independent woman, even though they were both born into a conglomerate family but Liza has never used her power to pressure the asbrotants who work at her house let alone in thepany of her husband or both parents.  Everything is done by Liza herself, except cleaning the house which is done by the maids, even cooking is sometimes done by Liza if the three babies are not fussy.

    Joan approached his wife with a briefcase in her hand. He kissed her face lovingly.

    Cups¡­ Cups¡­ Cups¡­

    Starting from the left cheek, right, forehead, until the lips were kissed by Joan.¡¯  Romance¡¯ is what Liza likes about her husband.

    ¡°Shouldn¡¯t you have breakfast, honey?¡± Liza looks like she¡¯s tidying up her husband¡¯s shirt cor.

    ¡°No need. Just go to the officeter, Li,¡± Joan refused.

    ¡°Okay, okay. Watch out, don¡¯t forget to eat!¡±

    ¡°Yes, my dear wife.¡±

    Liza took her husband¡¯s hand and started kissing the back of Joan¡¯s hand, ¡°Be careful on the road. Don¡¯t be too tired. Don¡¯t be flirtatious with other girls,¡± Liza ordered.

    Joan chuckled and immediately ruffled his wife¡¯s hair very excitedly, ¡°Yes, my wife is the prettiest, don¡¯t forget to eat too, don¡¯t be too tired. If you are overwhelmed with taking care of our babies, just call Rita, tell her to help you.¡±

    Bi Rita is one of the senior housewives employed at the pce-style house.  Hees from Indonesia and is Joan¡¯s confidante.

    ¡°Okay, honey, let¡¯s go, I¡¯m going to bete for the meeting!¡±

    Joan nodded at Liza¡¯s words, ¡°I wanted to kiss our three babies before leaving, but my two heroes are still sleeping.¡±

    ¡°Okay, just kiss Kiran,¡± Liza handed her daughter who was already wearing clothes towards her father.

    Joan immediately kissed her daughter affectionately, ¡°Kiran darling, Daddy has to go to work first. Daddy¡¯s most beautiful daughter is here, let¡¯s just y with Mommy. Don¡¯t be fussy, son. Poor Mommy,¡± Joan ordered her daughter, who had not yet  understand anything.

    Baby Kiran just smiled a little.  This beautiful baby is really adorable. Her face is very simr to Liza¡¯s. Kiran is very smiley and not as fussy as her older broter, Keenan.

    After saying goodbye to his two beloved women, Joan went straight to work at seven o¡¯clock in the morning.

    The maids greeted their master who was walking to the parking lot with Mr. Kevin, Joan¡¯s personal . driver. Liza was seen peeking from their bedroom window and saw the car in which her husband was traveling had started to leave the yard.

    Liza smiled contentedly and reached for something from the nightstand.

 Extra Part 2

    The call that Liza made starts to connect with someone on the other side.

    ¡°Li,¡± Liza¡¯s familiar call.  A voice that has always been a cont for Liza.

    Liza was stunned, she really missed the voice of the man she was calling right now.  The man she could never have because of Joan¡¯s sudden presence in her life.

    Liza was silent, the woman cried suddenly but without a sound.

    ¡°Li! Please answer me!¡±  Eximed the man on the phone.

    ¡°Dn. How are you?¡± Liza started to speak.

    ¡°Okay, Li. How are you doing there? You¡¯ve given birth, haven¡¯t you, Li? Has Joan been nice to you?¡±

    ¡°Yes, Lan. I¡¯ve given birth, my babies are healthy, I didn¡¯t expect to be a mother this quickly. Everything feels like a dream right now, Lan. Sis Joan is also very kind to me,¡± Liza exined with trembling lips.

    Dn could be heard sighing heavily. He was indeed happy with the news given by Liza, but his heart was really hurt because he couldn¡¯t have Liza in his life.  He lost badly to Joan.

    ¡°I¡¯m grateful that you¡¯re happy Li. My parents always ask how you¡¯re doing there, but I answer that I don¡¯t know because we¡¯ve never exchanged news before.¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m sorry¡± Liza started sobbing.

    ¡°Please Li! I don¡¯t want to hear you cry.  why came to Curut Joan who suddenly came to Lo¡¯s life,¡± exined Dn with a shakingugh.

    Liza believes Dn is only pretending to be strong.  The man was broken, wounded.  Liza knows Dn very well, the man is very anti-woman, Liza isn¡¯t sure that Dn can find a good woman after losing himself.

    ¡°Liza, listen to me! You have to be happy with Joan, you have to be a good wife and mother for your children. Don¡¯t think about me, forget all about our past, including about your own parents. You need to be happy, the future  You and Joan are more beautiful, I¡¯m sure Joan is the best match that God has given to you, Li. Don¡¯t waste Joan, Li!¡±

    Liza sobbed hearing Dn¡¯s words.  This man actually made her feel even more guilty.  Liza could no longer hear Dn¡¯s voice, she immediately disconnected the phone and cried uncontrobly.

    A few yearster

    ¡°Keenan wake up ¡­..¡± shouted the middle-aged man from the doorway.

    The man was ready to water his sleeping child with a ss of bucket filled with water.

    Byur¡­

    Joan ¡®s patience had run out , her eldest son was now drenched in water from being sshed by her .

    ¡°Oh my gosh Daddy can you wake him up in a slightly polite way?¡±  Keenan grumbled as he lowered his feet from the bed.

    ¡± Keenan you have to go to school today , look what time it is ¡± Joan showed Keenan the watch on his wrist .

    Keenan¡¯s eyes widened, he did not expect that it was already half past eight in the morning.

    Keenan patted his forehead ¡°Oh my gosh howe Daddy didn¡¯t wake you up before?¡±  Keenan asked a little annoyed.

    ¡± Nonsense , since earlier Kenzie and I have been going back and forth to this room to wake you up , you are the only one who sleeps like a sleeper ¡± Rebutted Joan no less annoyed .

    ¡°Did Kenzie and Kiran leave already, dad?¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s been an hour ago, Daddy told the driver to drop them off¡±

    Keenan rubbed his face roughly ¡°Siblings don¡¯t know manners, why don¡¯t their older siblings be left alone¡±

    ¡± Eh, why are you even ming your younger siblings again , who made your own mistakest night to y games so that you forgot to sleep ? ¡± said Joan .

    Keenan is the most difficult child to managepared to Kiran and Kenzie.  Joan had forbidden Keenan to y online or offline games dozens of times, but the boy still didn¡¯t obey his father¡¯s orders.

    ¡°Hurry up and clean up, let Daddy take you to school!

    Keenan shook his head, he feltzy if he had to go to school when he still felt very sleepy.  What¡¯s more, today is his first day at his new school.

    Joan and her family just moved to Indonesia the day before yesterday, they have lived in America for 16 years, at that time neither Joan nor Liza had ever set foot in this country of origin.

    The reason for their move was because of Liza, the woman asked Joan to move back to Indonesia because she felt guilty for Joan¡¯s parents.

    Liza also doesn¡¯t want her children to grow up in a country that has a free culture like America.

    ¡± Clean up now Keenan ! ¡± Joan tugged her son ¡®s ear to the bathroom avable in Keenan ¡®s room .

    ¡°Aaa¡­ let go dad it hurts you know¡± Keenan winced in pain.

    Joan finally released her hand from Keenan¡¯s ear.

    ¡± Quickly clean up Keenan , no need to take a shower , just washing your face and brushing your teeth is enough ¡± Joan ordered which Keenan immediately rebutted .

    ¡°Just be honest Dad, when Keenan went to school but didn¡¯t take a bath, what did the world say dad?¡±

    ¡± It¡¯s not a sin not to take a bath every once in a while, besides your handsomeness won¡¯t diminish either ¡± Joan chuckled softly seeing her son¡¯s face which was starting to frown.

    Keenan was forced to obey his father¡¯s orders, he started washing his face using facial wash and continued to brush his teeth carefully.

    While waiting for Keenan to clean himself in the bathroom, Joan started to get uniforms for her son in the walk-in closet in the room.

    When ites to children, Joan is never negligent, she always helps Liza to take care of her three children.  No matter how busy she is at work , she always finds time to apany and monitor her three children .

    Including today , he was willing toete to his newpany in order to take Keenan to school first .

    Joan again approached Keenan in the bathroom carrying a uniform with the Jakarta Intercultural School (JIS) badge, this school is located in Cndak, South Jakarta.  It is quite close to the house where Joan and her family now live.

    Joan gave the uniform to Keenan, after two minutes Keenan was ready with the uniform wrapped around his tall body.

    Keenan first applied hair oil to his cropped hair, he saw his body¡¯s reflection in front of arge mirror.

    ¡°You¡¯re so pretty¡± he said praising himself.

    Joan, who saw her son¡¯s treatment, could only shake her head, she was very surprised why Keenan¡¯s and Kenzie¡¯s attitudes were so different, even though they were both educated and raised in the same way.

    ¡± Come on hurry up Keenan , it¡¯s already eight o¡¯clock ¡± Shouted Joan who had already started walking towards the garage room .

    ¡± Wait Dad , put on some perfume first ¡± Keenan sprayed some perfume given by one of his girlfriends in America , to areas of his body , especially to the armpits.

    Keenan immediately ran the marathon carrying his backpack and headed to the garage to catch up with his father.Content bel0ngs to N?vel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

    It¡¯s strange that Keenan didn¡¯t see his Mommy today, I don¡¯t know where that woman has gone,tely Liza often disappears and doesn¡¯t know where.

    ¡± Where is Mommy , dad ? ¡± Keenan asked after sitting himself in the passenger seat beside Joan who was already sitting in the driver ¡®s seat .

    ¡°Mommy you¡¯re sleeping in your room, honey¡± Joan answered, actually Joan was also surprised becausetely Liza has been always lethargic and likes to sleep.

    Joan started driving her mercy car leaving the luxurious and magnificent yard of the house.

    ¡± Mommy is no longer pregnant , right Dad ? ¡± Keenan asked , which made Joan gasp in surprise .

    ¡± No honey , your mommy is just too tired , ¡± said Joan , she refocused her attention on the road and yed with the steering wheel .

    In contrast to Keenan, he actually prefers to y on his cellphone.  The man started to open the Twitter application and post something there to greet his ex-girlfriends in America.

    Keenan chuckled at thements of his female adoring line .

    ¡± Do you still have a lot of all of your medicine ? ¡± Joan teased , who heard his son ¡®s small chuckle .

    ¡°Alhamdulih, there are still a lot of them dad¡± Keenan replied with a happy smile.

    Joan red at her son, Keenan was indeed his first son but Kenzie¡¯s attitude was more mature than him.

    While in America, Keenan has dated thousands of women he has met, even many aunts have dated him. Unlike Kiran and Kenzie, the two of them have never dated any creature on this earth, because Kiran and Kenzie look more like lovers, so sticky.  .  Kiran and Kenzie are always together everywhere, that¡¯s what makes Keenan always feel lonely because his presence is not considered.

    ¡± Dad , is this the school ? ¡± Keenan asked when their car stopped in a school yard that looked very different from Keenan ¡®s old school in America .

    ¡°Yes Keenan dear¡±

    Both of them started to get out of the car and walked through the corridors which seemed deserted because ss had started half an hour ago .

    Joan began to hold her son¡¯s hand to enter a room that was reserved for the school¡¯s guidance counselor.

    The middle aged man who was sitting in the room smiled kindly at Joan and also at Keenan .

    ¡°Wee, Mr. Joan,¡± said the teacher while extending his hand towards Joan.

    ¡°Hello Mr. Zidan¡± Joan returned the teacher¡¯s hand, the two shook hands

    ¡°Sorry Mr. Zi, one of my children camete today¡± Joan said ufortably.

    Mr. Zidan patted Joan lightly on the shoulder ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter sir, besides this handsome son of yours is a new kid. It¡¯s only natural that he¡¯ste on his first day,¡± said Mr. Zidan, he nced at Joan and Keenan alternately.

    Keenan winked at Mr. Zidan, he was used to doing that when someoneplimented him on being handsome.

    Mr. Zidan could only grin indistinctly at the behavior of his new student. Joan¡¯s family has helped a lot in the development of this school.  That¡¯s what made all the teachers at this school, including Pak Zidan, fall to their knees before Joan and her three children.

    Annoyed, that¡¯s what Joan was feeling right now, it felt like she really wanted to punch her first son with her own hands.  But whatever power, Liza never allowed her to educate her children in a harsh way like Papa Ansel¡¯s method of educating her.

    ¡°Your name is Keenan Danendra, right?¡±  Ask Mr. Zidane to make sure.

    Keenan nodded slowly ¡°That¡¯s right sir, I¡¯m Keenan,¡± Keenan replied casually.

    ¡°Can I know where my ss is sir?¡±  Asked Keenan, who was tired of staring at Mr. Zidan.

    ¡°Erm¡­ sorry Keenan. Looks like you can¡¯t be in the same ss as your two brothers,¡± said Mr. Zidan looking scared.

    ¡°Why sir?¡±  Joan¡¯s eyebrows knit together.  It was very strange , whereas previously the school had agreed to put their three children in the same ss .

    ¡°We apologize in advance sir, but the arrival of the two Keenan brothers made MIPA 1 ss very chaotic, the students screamed hysterically when they saw the handsomeness of your youngest son. So we suggest not to include your two sons in the same ss¡± exined Mr. Zidan, an hour  ago the subject teacher who was teaching in the MIPA 1 ss reported that the students in the ss screamed like someone possessed when they saw Kenzieing.

    ¡°All right, sir, that¡¯s the best way, but I hope Keenan can still be put in other MIPA sses,¡± Joan asked hopefully.

    ¡°Don¡¯t worry sir, Keenan is officially registered as a MIPA 2 ss student,¡± replied Mr. Zidan, bringing relief to Joan¡¯s heart.

    Not because she wanted her child to be called smart by other people, Joan put her three children in the MIPA ss because it was in ordance with the major they had previously studied at Thomas Jefferson School High School, their previous school, when in America the major was science and technology.

    Keenan chuckled in annoyance , once again he had to feel miserable because he could not copy assignments from Kenzie or Kiran .  It seems that the world has never been on Keenan¡¯s side, for the 16 years they have lived in the world, Keenan has never once felt that he has twins.  Because his existence is often forgotten by Kiran and Kenzie.

 Extra Part 3

    POV JOAN

    I turned around back home after dropping Keenan off at his school.  At first I wanted to go straight to the office, but seeing Liza¡¯s condition at home made me a little worried.

    ¡°Mom, where is Liza?¡± I asked one of the household asbrotants who had only been working at my house for a day.

    ¡°Madam is in the bathroom, sir,¡± replied the maid named Dewi, slightly bowing her body towards me.

    ¡°Oh, thanks for the info,¡± I said with a wide smile.

    ¡°Yes you¡¯re wee sir, then I¡¯ll go to the kitchen first to prepare the ingredients for lunchter,¡± Bi Dewi said goodbye. She immediately walked away after getting my approval.

    I walked back to the main room.  The main room in this luxury house that I bought in full has an American ssic feel that is all white in color and gives an elegant impression.

    I looked towards the bathroom, it was true he was taking a shower at this time, I heard a ssh of water from inside the bathroom.

    I took off the jacket that covered my body and left a white shirt.  I threw my body roughly onto a king-sized bed that fits 5 people.

    I¡¯m starting to feel hot even though this room has been cooled by the air conditioner.  I grabbed a piece of paper from the nightstand and started fanning it over my face and body .

    ¡°Well, this is fresh,¡± I said to myself.

    I stopped my activities while staring fixedly at the paper that had started to crumple after I used it as a fan.

    Without realizing it , the paper had the name of a major hospital in America written on it .  My thirst for information suddenly increased , I quickly read the back page of the paper .

    I read the contents of the letter carefully.

    ¡± Impossible ¡±

    My eyes widened in disbelief when Liza¡¯s name was written on the paper with the doctor¡¯s verdict stating that Liza had uterine cancer.

    My chest feels congested instantly, the paper that I just held, I identally dropped it on the floor.  This feels like a dream .  I pinched my hand hard.

    ¡°It¡¯s not a dream, it turns out,¡± I said after feeling pain in the hand that I pinched just now.

    My goodness ¡­ how can this disease be suffered by my wife , all this time Liza has been hiding her illness .  Even during monthly checkups, he always tells me he¡¯s fine. No wonder he¡¯s been sleeping moretely.  In the past , she really cared about children , but now Liza is like someone who has lost her zest for life .

    My body was shaking violently apanied by clear beads that had started to fall down my cheeks.

    Afraid!  , that ¡®s what I feel right now .  Back then I almost lost Liza because of Yuna¡¯s presence, but now?  Our trials are even more severe , it is death that will separate us .  It is no longer human , but God who has intervened .

    I cried uncontrobly, my face sinking into the pillow I¡¯m hugging now.

    What should I do ?  The letter states that Liza¡¯s cancer has entered its final stage.

    I pressed my chest which hurts so much inside here .  Why is Liza like this to me and the kids?  He should have told me from the start, so I could give him the best treatment in America.  But what he did was just the opposite, maybe he would keep his illness a secret until death picked him up.

    ¡°Honey aren¡¯t you going to the office?¡±

    Liza had just left the bathroom door while drying her wet hair with a towel, she came to me and sat her body on the edge of the bed.

    I was silent as well as Liza who was surprised to see me who was in a state of disarray, it was seen from my puffy eyes and also my nose which looked red.N?velDrama.Org owns this text.

    ¡°Why Li, why are you doing this?¡±  I asked while pulling her body into my arms.

    ¡°What do you mean? I don¡¯t understand, what have I done?¡± Liza asked back, her expression was like a thief who had been caught by the residents. She immediately pushed my body away from her.

    Liza grabbed the paper that had fallen on the floor, at that moment Liza realized that I already knew the secret she had been hiding all this time.

    ¡°You don¡¯t need to read this insignificant letter, dear!¡±  Said Liza.  He tore the paper into several pieces .

    ¡± Enough Li ! ¡± I snapped , stopping Liza ¡®s activities .

    ¡°Why do you keep secret about your illness?¡±  I asked to the point , Liza looked at me with sad eyes .

    He was silent, his face looked pale.  His body, which had been standing straight, immediately fell to the floor.

    ¡± Honey ¡± I called softly , while rocking her body slowly .

    There was no answer, the woman was unconscious a few seconds ago. I immediately took her in myp andid her on the bed.

    I grabbed my cell phone that I put on the nightstand and sent a message to Dafa, my old friend who helped me and my family move back to this country.

    [ Daf please send a private doctor to this house now !]

    I put my phone back down after sending the short message to Dafa.

    16 years have passed, but Dafa still doesn¡¯t have a family. He is still loyal to being a single man whose work only changes women, he doesn¡¯t take any of the women seriously. His attitude is not much different from Keenan, my eldest son.

    All this time, Dafa has been working for daddy. ording to Dafa¡¯s statement, daddy¡¯s attitude haspletely changed since I left for America. He became very patient and gentler with his employees, including Dafa himself, who was treated kindly by daddy.  bro Sarah feels the same way, papa no longer restrains Sarah now.  Currently, Sarah is married to a man who genuinely loves her, unlike Darren, who only wants to target his wealth.

    ¡°Honey¡± Call Liza who just opened her eyes.

    I, who was getting drinking water from the fridge in our room, immediately looked at Liza who was a few centimeters away from my current position.

    ¡°Li, be patient, the doctor wille here soon,¡± I said while helping Liza to sit, leaning her head on the back of the bed.

    Liza just nodding her head weakly . Cold sweat can be seen running down her forehead .

    ¡°Li we go back to America again, where you can get better treatment,¡± I said sounding pleading. My hands started busy wiping the cold sweat on my wife¡¯s forehead.

    ¡°No, I don¡¯t want to¡± said Liza.

    ¡°You must be treated as soon as possible Li, this is cancer, you can¡¯t just ignore it,¡± I said, holding his slightly cold hand.

    ¡°bro, please don¡¯t tell our children about my illness. I don¡¯t want them to worry. After all, I¡¯m not young anymore, instead of spending the rest of my life doing treatment, I better spend the rest of my time with the children. I want to give love  more to them before I died. Please, keep this matter a secret from the children ¡°He asked in a soft tone.

    I wiped my tears that had already fallen.  My heart felt like being stabbed by a dagger when I heard the request of the woman who had lived with me for 16 years.

    ¡°How long have you endured the pain alone?¡± I asked breaking curiosity.

    ¡°Two years, to be precise on our 14th wedding anniversary,¡± Liza replied with a faint smile.

    I rubbed my face roughly , how could Liza endure the pain for two years , in front of me she looked like she was fine .  I sobbed in the arms of my beloved woman.

    ¡°I¡¯ll be fine honey, just calm down,¡± Liza whispered to calm me down, her smooth and bright hand stroked my back gently.

    Knock¡­ Knock¡­

    I move from where Liza is lying right now and immediately open our bedroom door when I hear a knock from outside.

    ¡°Dock!¡±  I ordered.  With fast steps the doctor started to approach Liza and began to examine the condition of the woman who looked very weak and helpless.

    I waited at the door with Dafa who also came here to apany the doctor.

    Dafa hugged my body and greeted me first.

    ¡°It¡¯s been 16 years Jo, we haven¡¯t met, your body is still in good health, even though you are already old,¡± Praise Dafa, which sounded like mockery.

    I nced at Dafa , I looked carefully at Dafa ¡®s body and his face , which had not changed much and was still as handsome as before .

    ¡°You¡¯re still as handsome as before, even though you¡¯re old,¡± I sneered while chuckling a little.

    We are only a month apart in age , Dafa was born in June and I was born in July .  We are both already 5 heads.

    ¡°Seriously Daf Lo are you not married yet?¡±  I asked.  Previously, Dafa had said that he was still single when we kept in touch by phone. But I was a bit hesitant to believe what he said was full of lies.

    Dafa looked at me with an annoyed look ¡°Not yet Jo, I haven¡¯t found a girl like your wife,¡± Dafa replied, her womanish eyes looked at my wife who was lying on the bed.

    Furious, that¡¯s how I feel about Dafa.  It turns out that during these 16 years, he has not forgotten his idol, who is none other than my own wife.

    I stared at Dafa with murderous eyes , while all I stared at was grinning like someone who had run out of medicine .

 Extra Part 4

    POV 3

    Keenan immediately sat down on an empty bench next to a woman who looked very ignorantpared to the other girls who had been pushing him to get acquainted.

    ¡°Recognize my name, Keenan Danendra,¡± said Keenan while reaching out his hand towards the woman who was still faithfully reading her math book.

    The woman nced at her and stopped her activity ¡°You already know,¡± he said curtly.

    ¡°You¡¯re so arrogant girl,¡± Keenan grumbled in his heart.  With a feeling of annoyance he again lowered his hand and began to take out his textbooks from the bag .

    Meanwhile, there was already a math teacher in front of her who had started exining linear forms.

    ¡°Keenan, introduce me to Yura, the ss leader in this ss,¡± said one of the women from the chair in front of Keenan.  The woman stretched out her hand to Keenan who suddenly became the center of attention of the woman who was sitting beside Keenan.

    ¡°Hi Yura, you¡¯re really beautiful,¡± Gombal Keenan yed with his puppy eyes.  He began to return Yura¡¯s hand, even though they shook hands.

    ording to Keenan, making friends with people who have high positions in this ss has a positive impact on him.  Besides, Yura also has very beautiful visuals, it¡¯s just that her makeup is too shy. It¡¯s very different whenpared to the bitchy woman beside Keenan.

    ¡°Ra, what¡¯s the name of the girl next to me?¡±  Keenan whispered to Yura.  Keenan was seen lifting his buttocks slightly to align his face with Yura¡¯s.

    ¡°Aqi Paramitha Rivenno, she is the student council president at our school. You have to keep your distance from her!¡±  Yura whispered back.  Keenan immediately turned to Aqi who was looking at him with a sharp gaze.

    ¡± Lesson is still going on , can you calm down a little , or if you are tired of studying , it is better to get out there ! ¡± Aqi snapped , ording to Keenan and Yura , her face looked very scary .

    Keenan and Yura immediately obeyed Aqi¡¯s orders to sit quietly and listen to Mrs. Rika who was exining the form in question number two.N?velDrama.Org owns this.

    Kring ¡­ Kring ¡­.

    120 minutes have passed, Mrs. Rika has stopped her teaching activities in this ss.  The atmosphere started to get noisy, the students scattered out of the ssroom to just have a snack in the canteen and some chose to increase their knowledge of reading books in the library.

    Keenan started to put his math book in his backpack, the same thing was done by Aqi.

    ¡°Let¡¯s go to the canteen together,¡± Yura invited along with his four friends who seemed to really like Keenan.

    ¡°Erm¡­ how are you?¡±  Keenan yed with his fingers . He seemed to be thinking .  If he could choose, he really hoped that it was Aqi who offered him to go to the canteen together, but what can I do.  That woman really has a very cold personality .

    ¡°Come on Ra, the worms in my stomach are already on the demonstration,¡± said Keenan firmly with his decision.

    Yura smiled happily, quickly her mischievous hand began to hold Keenan¡¯s hand towards the canteen which was located at the end of this elite school building.

    Aqi could only shake her head at the new student¡¯s behavior. In Aqi¡¯s eyes, Keenan was just a delinquent who didn¡¯t know any manners.  It¡¯s not without reason that Aqi thinks like that, on the first day Keenan just came in he was already being rude in front of Mrs. Rika, the proof was that he blinked one eye when Mrs. Rika praised his good looks.

    Drettt¡­.

    The notification soundes from a device with the Aqi apple logo.  He quickly saw an iing message on his cellphone screen.

    Mami : Your cousin has entered today, make sure that they don¡¯t throw a tantrum!

    Aqi roughly threw her gadget into her bag.  He was really annoyed with the short message sent by his mother.  Sincest night , his mother kept saying that over and over again .  Besides, who is the cousin her mother meant?  ording to Aqi, the Rivenno family has no more children apart from their mother, Sarah Rivenno.

    Ah never mind .  Aqi¡¯s head feels very dizzy if she has to find data on new students who entered today in tens of sses.  Aqi walked a little fast towards the canteen to feed her stomach which had been starving since morning, because she had not had time to eat breakfast from home.

    ***

    Bi Titin¡¯s canteen was seen to be filled with almost all the students in this school.  This canteen is the only one established at JIS, the ce looks very spacious.  It is more fitting to be called a restaurant than a canteen.

    Keenan , Yura and the gang were seen sitting at the table with Kenzie and also Kiran .

    ¡°Kenzie is really handsome, Keenan,¡± said Amel, Yura¡¯s friend.

    Amel ¡®s naughty hands yed on Kenzie ¡®s smooth cheeks , Kiran suddenly shook off the bitch ¡®s hand that was teasing her broter .

    ¡°If it¡¯s itchy, scratch it!¡± Kiran said sarcastically to Amel.  They gave each other sharp nces.

    Annoyed, Kiran was really annoyed at Kenzie who couldn¡¯t fight anyone. One day, Kenzie was even taken away by white aunts to a ce full of bitches, luckily their Daddy¡¯s bodyguard managed to find Kenzie¡¯s whereabouts.  Sometimes Kenzie¡¯s cold and patient attitude makes her a living doll in the eyes of other people.

    ¡°Mel, I¡¯m sorry my broter really can¡¯t be touched, she doesn¡¯t like girls. Hahahaha¡± Keenan said to Amel, heughed at the innocence of his own twin brother.

    ¡°Stop bro! Stop this attitude of yours, I won¡¯t hesitate to report it to you and Daddy,¡± Kiran threatened Keenan.

    Keeran only smiled sarcastically, he didn¡¯t care about Kiran¡¯s words and preferred to serve Yura and the other four women.

    Brak¡­

    Kiran hit the table and stood up from her sitting position, she immediately pulled Kenzie¡¯s hand to move to another table. Not forgetting that they brought food and drinks that they had not finished to one of the tables which still looked empty and only upied by one of the students who was  eat the chicken noodles with gusto.

    ¡°Can we join here?¡±  Asked Kiran asking permission from the student who was eating alone.

    ¡°cough¡­ cough¡­ maybe¡± Aqi choked, but she was still able to answer Kiran¡¯s question.

    ¡°Thanks,¡± said Kiran with a big smile. She immediately sat down at the table opposite Aqi and Kenzie followed.

    They also started to busy eating food without greeting each other. At first nce Aqi nced at Kenzie who looked very attractive and cute, ording to her. She was 190 degrees different from the new students in her ss.

    Aqi looked the other way, when Kiran caught her staring at Kenzie. What Aqi was afraid of was that the two people sitting in front of her were lovers.  There could be a third world war if that were the case.

    ¡°He is my twin brother, his name is Kenzie Affandra,¡± said Kiran, bringing relief to Aqi¡¯s heart.

    ¡°Thank God,¡± thought Aqi.

    Aqi looked surprised, she raised her eyebrows at Kiran ¡°You are twins? But why don¡¯t you look alike?¡±

    Kiran smiled faintly , how many times had she gotten this question from people who were astonished by the difference in the faces of the three of them .

    ¡°We are not identical twins,¡± said Kiran.

    ¡°Oh no wonder, what¡¯s your name if I may ask?¡±  Asked Aqi who was very surprised by this beautiful woman in front of her.

    ¡°Eh, I forgot,¡± muttered Kiran, he pped his forehead and stretched his hand towards Aqi.

    ¡°I am Kirana Agatha, a grade 11 MIPA 1 student,¡± Kiran said, introducing himself.

    ¡°We are neighbours, Ki, I¡¯ll introduce myself to Aqi Paramitha Rivenno, a grade 11 MIPA 2 student, I¡¯m the student council president at this school,¡± Aqi said shaking Kiran¡¯s hand.

    Kiran closed her mouth, she couldn¡¯t believe that the person in front of her was someone who was very influential in this school.

    ¡°Wow, I didn¡¯t expect to meet the student council president on my first day, it turns out that you are also in the same ss as my broter,¡± Kiran said, surprising Aqi.

    ¡°Your brother, what¡¯s his name Ki?¡±  Aqi asked curiously.

    ¡°Keenan Danendra¡±

    ¡°What Keenan? So this delinquent is the same blood as Kenzie and also Kira? Ah, it feels like the world is unfair,¡± Aqi thought in disbelief.

    Aqi was stunned for a few seconds, but the sound of a punch from one of the students at the front desk immediately interrupted her thoughts.

    At the table it sounded very noisy, all the students who were in the cafeteria at that time immediately approached Keenan who was having a fistfight with Bram, the badboy who is known to be greedy and bullies geeky students and girls.

    Kiran and Kenzie immediately ran over to their broter and swiftly separated them.

    ¡°Stop all right!¡±  Kiran shouted , but waspletely ignored by him . The tall man was still emotional , the same thing was felt by Bram who did not want to budge even though his face had been beaten badly by Keenan .

    The girls cheered and excited Keenan, strangely none of them wanted to separate Keenan and Bram. They were afraid thatter they would be the butt of Bram and get bullying from the cruel man.

    Aurel¡¯s patience has run out, this time he has to carry out his duties as student council president at this school. Aurel runs a marathon leaving the canteen to the BK teacher¡¯s room. He will report this to the BK teacher to follow up on and it is certain that Keenan¡¯s parents and also Bram will be called soon  school today too.

    ¡± Daddy is already tired of your attitude Keenan . Until when are you going to act like children , huh ? ¡± Joan snapped .  I¡¯m already tired. During thest 16 years, Joan has never raised her child with violence.

    ¡± You are outrageous ! ¡± Liza said , instead of directing it at Keenan , Liza actually stared intently at Joan who had pped Keenan in front of her own eyes .

    Liza began to approach her son, she began to see how bad the bruises Joan had caused on her son¡¯s face.

    ¡°You¡¯re okay Keenan right?¡±  Liza asked which was returned by Keenan¡¯s nod.

    Keenan looked at Liza and Joan in turn.  To be honest, he felt very hurt, the pain on his face was not much.  But this incident will be imprinted forever in the memory of his brain .

    ¡°Keenan, go to your room first, mom, dad,¡± said Keenan, with slightly quick steps he walked towards his room which was located on the top floor. It was right next to Kiran¡¯s and Kenzie¡¯s rooms.

    On the floor above, there were already Kiran and Kenzie who were studying together, the two of them had changed their school clothes into their usual clothes while Keenan was still in his school uniform.

    Earlier Keenan was detained for over an hour at school, Joan was also required to make peace with the parents of the students who had fought with Keenan earlier. Inevitably they had to go home when the clock struck 15. 30 while Kiran and Kenzie were escorted home first by their personal driver.

    ¡°You didn¡¯te out, bro?¡± Kiran asked when she saw Keenan¡¯s nose.

    Keenan shook his head, he felt veryzy if he had to chat with his chatty broter, Kirana could interview him.  He also prefers to enter his room and immediately clean up .

    Kiran pursed her lips, she felt annoyed because her brother had ignored her.

    ¡°Just let bro Ran, maybe bro Keenan is just tired,¡± Kenzie said defending Keenan.

    Kiran only nodded at Kenzie¡¯s words, they focused back on staring at her chemistry book.

    Meanwhile downstairs there was a fight between Liza and Joan.

    ¡°I don¡¯t like it when you act like that to the children!¡± Liza snapped, her hands deliberately folded in front of her chest because she was annoyed.

    ¡°Then how should I behave Li? You know how difficult it is for Keenan to manage, do you want to let our eldest son be a delinquent who has no future huh?¡±  Joan asked, raising her tone a little, to be honest she didn¡¯t want to argue against Liza, especially with Liza who was still sick like that.

    Clear tears just fell down Liza¡¯s cheeks, she quickly wiped her tears and ran into the main room.

    ¡°Honey,¡± Joan called but Liza ignored her.  Joan started to catch up with his wife and immediately hugged her limp body from behind .

    ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I didn¡¯t mean to hurt anyone. I promise, this is thest time I hit our child. Please forgive me this time honey!¡± Joan whispered in her wife¡¯s ear.

    Liza brushed aside Joan¡¯s hands that were wrapped around her stomach, she started to turn around to look at her husband¡¯s face.

    ¡°Blood is indeed thicker than water, you are no different from your father, both are cruel,¡± argued Liza, smiling crookedly.

    Joan rubbed her face in exasperation , who knows what her wife had thought so she could assume it was that bad . Joan bit her lower lip , her hands clenched tightly to hold back the emotions that were about to explode .

    ¡°This is the first time honey, after all I¡¯ve never hit our children before. So don¡¯t overdo it, I don¡¯t like it when you bring daddy into our troubles!¡±  she inbroted.

    Again, Liza smiled sinisterly. ¡°You are exaggerating huh? Isn¡¯t that wrong? In this house, you are the one who is going too far, bro Joan, small problems are magnified, you don¡¯t even know why Keenan fought with his friends. So before you p, listen  First exin your child, don¡¯t just y with muscles, use your brain too!¡± Liza grumbled.  Before the p incident earlier , Keenan had already exined the reason to Joan and himself .  But Joan didn¡¯t believe what Keenan said and thought that Keenan was just lying to them.

    Joan ruffled her hair Frustrated , she threw a vase of Liza ¡®s favorite flower which was kept on the nightstand , the ss vase shattered and scattered on the floor .  His body, which had been limp all along, immediatelyid him down on arge bed, he slept on his side, staring at therge frame containing their wedding photo.

    Liza started to close her eyes heading to dreand.  While Joan chose to go to the bathroom to do her afternoon bathing ritual , she soaked in the bathtub for a few minutes to get rid of the burning sensation in her body and heart .  Today, Joan and her family will go to the Rivenno mansion to answer Ansel¡¯s call, who is currently sick and to do roadwork at a private house.

    *****

    ¡°Pah,¡± Joan called, hugging Ansel¡¯s slender body, which was already sitting frailly in a wheelchair.

    ¡°How are you dear, are you all right in America?¡±  Ansel asked, hugging his son¡¯s body which had changed a lot. For 16 years he felt homesick because he could not meet his son, seeing Joan back in front of him felt like a dream for Ansel.

    Joan nodded, her eyes glistening with tears.  He couldn¡¯t bear to see his father, who used to be able to hit him, was now old and vulnerable and unable to do anything.

    ¡°Where¡¯s your wife and child, Joan?¡± Ansel asked, surprised that Joan only came to his room alone.

    ¡°They¡¯re in dad¡¯s living room, talking to mom and bro Sarah,¡± Joan replied.

    Ansel only nodded weakly in response to his son¡¯s words.

    ¡°Doc, can daddy be brought to the guest room?¡± Joan asked the private doctor on duty to look after Ansel. There are already 6 private doctors in this house who always take turns checking on Ansel¡¯s condition every day.

    ¡°Yes, you can, as long as you don¡¯t take it out of the house, the night air is not very good for Mr. Ansel¡¯s health,¡± the doctor exined.Content bel0ngs to N?vel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

    Joan smiled at the doctor¡¯s words.  Now he started pushing Ansel¡¯s wheelchair toward the living room.

    Liza smiled at her father-inw, immediately implied various memories about the old man. Liza was once very annoyed with Ansel because he chose Yuna over himself. But that resentment just disappeared with time.

    ¡°Pah, I¡¯m sorry Liza for bringing daddy¡¯s son to America,¡± Liza said, shaking Ansel¡¯s wrinkled hand.

    ¡°It¡¯s okay son, this is all your fault because you have separated the two of you,¡± Ansel said softly, he rubbed his son-inw¡¯s arm lovingly.

    ¡± It seems Joan is very happy living with you , her body is fuller than when she was still by my side , ¡± Ansel said softly , the old manughed softly .

    ¡°It¡¯s okay daddy, bro Joan seems happier when she¡¯s by Papah¡¯s side,¡± Liza said, sounding like sarcasm to Joan.

    Joan could only smile even though her feelings hurt a little hearing Liza¡¯s exnation, Liza had been ignoring her for hours and didn¡¯t want to talk to her.

    Joan pushed the wheelchair Ansel was sitting in towards her three children who were sitting together on a sofa that could fit five people. Auris and Sarah were already chatting with Joan¡¯s children on the sofa.

    ¡°Pah, introduce these to my children. The first one is called Keenan, the second is Kiran and the third is Kenzie,¡± said Joan while pointing at her children one by one and introducing them to Ansel.

    ¡°You don¡¯t have two children, do you?¡± Ansel asked.  Her expression looked very shocked , before Joan had said that her children were indeed twins , but twins were not triplets .

    Joan shook her head quickly to refute her father¡¯s words.  He did not want his children, especially Kenzie, to be suspicious.

    The baby Liza was carrying at that time had three babies, the doctor was wrong and said that Liza was only carrying two babies,¡± exined Joan full of lies.

    Liza and Joan looked awkward, but they did their best to control their expressions so that no one would see that they were lying.  After all, only they and Emma know this secret.

    ¡°Honey this is your grandfather, greetings first!¡±  Joan ordered her three children.

    Keenan swiftly preceded his two brothers to shake Ansel¡¯s hand.

    ¡°Grandpa, Grandpa¡¯s grandson is no less handsome than Papah?¡± asked Keenan Pecicil, even though he had just met this time, he was already able to be so close to his grandfather.

    Ansel chuckled at the behavior of this young man in front of him ¡°He¡¯s really handsome, Grandpa didn¡¯t expect to have a grandson as handsome as you, dear Keenan,¡± praised Ansel, which immediately made Kiranugh out loud.

    ¡°Hahaha.

    ¡°That¡¯s right, Kiran said, Keenan¡¯s behavior wasn¡¯t as perfect as his visuals. Earlier, Aq reported to me, father, that Keenan had made a mess on his first day at school,¡± said Sarah, startling everyone in the room.

    ¡°Well, does Q go to the same school as Keenan bro?¡± Liza asked, breaking her curiosity.

    Sarah nodded ¡°Yes, she¡¯s the student council president at that school, Aqi¡¯s age is a year younger than your children¡¯s age. Q used to attend elerated ss during junior high school, so she entered high school at the same age as your child,¡± exined Sarah who was nodded by Liza and also  Joan .

    Naturally, if Aqi entered the elerated ss, after all, Sarah definitely treated her child as hard as Ansel before, so Aqi grew up to be a smart student and had a high status in her school environment.

    ¡°What? Aqi, the student council president who is a MIPA 2 student, isn¡¯t she an aunt?¡±  Keenan asked no less curious.

    ¡°Yes, do you know?¡±  asked Sarah back.

    ¡°Yes, Tan, he is in the same ss as me, even on my seat,¡± exined Keenan, surprising Sarah.

    Previously, Aqi only exined about Keenan¡¯s fight without telling him that they were in the same ss.

    ¡°Oh my gosh, the world turns out to be that narrow, I didn¡¯t even expect my nephew to be the person I was arguing with in the BK room,¡± said Joan, who also couldn¡¯t believe what her broter was saying.

    next or not bro?

 Extra Part 6

    ¡°I¡¯m sorry, the road was really jammed,¡± said Aqi, who had just entered the main door of the Rivenno residence. Beside her was a middle-aged man, Leon Grisham, who was none other than Sarah Rivenno¡¯s husband and Aqi¡¯s father.  Leon looks very dashing at the age of 55. He is the owner of thergest fashionpany in China that has coborated with the Rivenno Group to date.

    ¡°Hey babe,¡± Leon greeted as he hugged his wife, Sarah.

    Liza smiled faintly at the romance of her brother ¨C in ¨Cw , Leon ¡®s attitude was not much different from Joan ¡®s .  Even though sometimes Joan seems a little scrappy.  .

    ¡°Hello, bro,¡± Joan called as she hugged her brother-inw¡¯s body, examining his entire appearance from top to bottom,pletely different from the appearance of his former yboy brother.

    Leon chuckled softly, there was a happy feeling to be able to meet his broter-inw for the first time.

    ¡°Your broter is so handsome dear,¡± Leon grinned while looking at Sarah and Joan one by one.

    Joan only smiled awkwardly at the teasing of her brother-inw, she hit Leon¡¯s muscr arm lightly, ¡°Thanks bro, but I think you are more handsome than me¡±.

    ¡°Bro, this is my wife,¡± said Joan, introducing his wife to Leon.

    ¡°Hello bro, nice to meet you,¡± Liza said holding out her hand and Leon immediately replied warmly.

    ¡°Wow, your wife is very beautiful, Joan,¡± said Leon, making Liza blush.

    ¡°Yes, dear, Liza was a former actress 17 years ago. She used to be very popr and had many fans,¡± Sarah exined, Leon widened his eyes in surprise at his wife¡¯s statement. He did not expect the profession of his broter-inw¡¯s wife.

    ¡°Wow, seriously, the visual beauty is not kidding,¡± Leon said while pping his hands seeing the beauty of Liza¡¯s face and body.

    ¡°By the way, who are the two boys and the beautiful girl?¡±  asked Leon while pointing at Keenan, Kiran and Kenzie who were sitting together on one of the sofas.  When the child was busy chatting with their Grandma and Grandpa.

    ¡°They are Uncle Joan and Aunt Liza¡¯s children,¡± said Aqi with azy face, she was still upset about the incident this morning which involved Keenan as the culprit.

    ¡°It¡¯s true that the saying that the fruit doesn¡¯t fall far from the tree, their visuals are really simr to the two of you,¡± said Leon.  He never stopped expressing his admiration for Joan and her family.

    ¡°But ¡­.,¡± Leon hung his words.

    ¡°Howe Kenzie doesn¡¯t look like you guys?¡±  Leon continued , making Liza and Joan look worried .

    Joan bit her lower lip, she cast her gaze towards Liza.  Likewise with Liza who was also afraid that Leon would find out Kenzie¡¯s secret.

    ¡°Oh really? Kenzie looks just like us,¡± replied Joan with a nervous face.

    ¡°Yes dear?¡±  asked Joan to convince Liza.

    Liza quickly nodded in agreement. She quickly approached the children followed by Joan to divert Leon¡¯s conversation.

    ¡°Aqi is here honey, get to know your cousin first!¡±  Liza¡¯s orders were immediately obeyed by Aqi.

    Aqi immediately sat down next to Kiran, already familiar to them because of the meeting in the cafeteria earlier.

    ¡°It turns out that we are Aqi¡¯s cousins,¡± Kiran said, cheering happily, she hugged Aqi¡¯s tiny body.

    ¡°Yeah, I don¡¯t think I ran, I thought we weren¡¯t rted by blood,¡± said Aqi, no less excited.

    Keenan was very disturbed by the noise of the two women beside him, it really took away his concentration in ying online games.

    ¡°Can you two not be excited like that?¡± Keenan snapped throwing his ss shirt¡¯s cell phone.

    Upset, that¡¯s what Keenan felt. ording to Keenan, Aqi was the person who caused him to be pped by Joan.

    Aqi looked into Keenan¡¯s beady eyes, and Keenan was also caught in Aqi¡¯s round and beautiful eyes. Without Keenan knowing it, feelings of liking had been instilled since his first meeting with Aqi. It¡¯s just that his ego was too high to be kind and gentle to his cousin  He decided to leave the living room to the gazebo in the luxurious house to smoke cigarettes secretly without being noticed by Joan or Liza.

    While inside there were already nine people chatting in the living room which has a capacity for more than 20 people. It¡¯s different from Keenan who chooses to be busy with his own world.

    ***

    On that cool morning you can see Liza preparing breakfast for the children and her husband Joan. Even though she is asbroted by several household members in their new house, Liza doesn¡¯t want to escape her responsibilities as a wife and a mother, she is still diligent in cooking food for the family.  that small.

    ¡°Kiran, eat a lot! You don¡¯t need to go on a diet, my dear, besides, your body is already good,¡± Liza said to her beloved daughter.

    Liza started to put a te of fried rice in front of Kiran and continued by storing the food in front of her two sons.  Kenzie is served with a te of sd , while Keenan prefers if his breakfast is just toast and a ss of milk .

    Liza started to sit down next to her beloved husband, Joan smiled broadly at Liza.  What a beautiful sight Joan has seen for the past 17 years, living with the woman she loves makes her forget everything else including her own parents.

    ¡± Hurry up and eat honey ! Hurry up and the fried rice will get cold ! ¡± Liza snapped interrupting Joan ¡®s reverie .

    ¡°Ready Madam!¡±.

    Joan started to eat the fried rice with gusto , as well as the four members of her family who were just as busy eating their food without talking about anything , only to hear a cough from one of them .  There was also someone who choked because he ate too fast. This was experienced by Keenan, who ate in a hurry with the aim of wanting toe to school earlier than his two siblings.  He intends to avenge the treatment of Kiran and Kenzie who left him yesterday.

    ¡°Eat slowly, Keenan! Don¡¯t be like someone who is being chased by the devil,¡± said Joan, lecturing her son a little.

    ¡°Sorry Dad, because Keenan wants toe quickly to school, afraid to bete like yesterday again,¡± Keenan replied after drinking his ss of milk.

    Keenan started to get up from his seat, he first took a piece of tissue that was ced on the table. Carefully he wiped his lips afraid that there would be traces of food stuck to his lips.

    ¡°You want to leave now Keenan, don¡¯t you want to wait for your younger siblings first?¡± Liza asked curiously.

    ¡°No mom, it¡¯s too long to wait for them. Hurry to finish school,¡± Keenan replied, a little sarcastically to his two younger siblings.

    ¡°Okay, you just go with Daddy Kee, let your younger siblings be delivered by the driver,¡± said Joan, who started to stop her eating activities.

    The man with a well-built and broad body immediately put on his navy suit, asbroted by his wife.

    Cups ¡­

    Joan kissed Liza¡¯s forehead, not forgetting that she also stroked the tops of Kiran¡¯s and Kenzie¡¯s heads in turn.

    ¡°Daddy goes first, you guys eat rxed, it¡¯s still a long time to enter!¡±  Joan¡¯s orders were nodded by Kiran and also Kenzie.

    ¡°Take care dad¡± said Kiran.

    Joan nods at Kiran and goes back to Liza.

    ¡°I¡¯ll go first you are good at home yah!¡±

    Joan hugged Liza¡¯s body and whispered something in the woman¡¯s ear ¡°If anything happens, call me dear!¡±  he whispered and was nodded by Liza .

    ¡°Honey,ter I¡¯m going out for a while to find a friend,¡± Liza said asking permission from her husband.  This afternoon he intends to meet someone who used to be very important in his life.

    ¡°Okay,¡± Joan replied. Then she strolled past Liza and stepped out of the dining room into the parking area following her son who had entered his car first.

    Liza stared at her husband¡¯s back which slowly started to disappear from her view. She sat back down to join her children to continue her eating activities which had been stopped.

    For a few minutes they had finished the food on their tes .

    ¡°Mom, Kiran and Kenzie go first,¡± said Kiran, starting to feel Liza¡¯s smooth and white hands.

    ¡°Yes dear, be careful, those who study diligently,¡± Liza stroked the top of her daughter¡¯s head followed by kissing Kiran¡¯s forehead.

    ¡°Mom, Kenzie will go first,¡± said Kenzie, also shaking Liza¡¯s hand.N?velDrama.Org owns this text.

    ¡°Yes, deck, you study hard too! Don¡¯t follow Keenan¡¯s attitude!¡±  Liza said stroking the top of Kenzie¡¯s head.

    Kenzie is always called dedek by Liza and Joan.  The reason is because Kenzie is thest born baby, but in reality it is because Kenzie is Liza¡¯s younger broter.

    Kiran and Kenzie started walking hurriedly towards the parking space, there was Mr. Odi who had started the car.

    Liza was left alone in the dining room, she grabbed her cell phone which had been in her pocket.  He even wrote a message to someone.

    (Meet me at Vino Cafe this morning, I miss you Dn)

    Liza put her phone back into her pocket after sending that short message.

    Dn, a man who has never disappeared from his mind and heart. His name and figure are always embedded like gum that can¡¯t be lost, even though it has been removed in various ways. 17 years is not a short time for Dn to wait for his meeting with Liza.

 Extra Part 7

    This is where Liza is, in a cafe that is already busy with office workers who still haven¡¯t entered their respective rooms to carry out their duties. The design of this cafe looks very neat and luxurious, Liza knows this cafe after seeing the cafe rmendation paper lying around  on her husband¡¯s desk.

    The air was still cool, Liza looked at the Dior branded watch that was wrapped around her wrist.

    ¡°It¡¯s already eight o¡¯clock,¡± he muttered as he kept looking around at everyone who had juste into the cafe.

    Liza was a little disappointed because Dn had not yete to meet her, even though the man had promised toe at half past eight at this cafe.

    Liza started tidying up her hair which was a bit messy because it was guessed by the wind when she came from the parking lot.

    Wearing a knee-length navy dress, she looked very beautiful.  Has bright white skin, a muscr body with a nose and lips that are very beautiful to the eye. Her current appearance is more like that of a young child, it¡¯s not umon for Liza to get admiring nces from people passing by in this cafe since half an hour ago.

    Liza shed a smile on her thin lips when she saw the arrival of the man she had been waiting for.

    The 40 year old man still looks very handsome in a short ck shirtbined with jeans.  It looks really charming, people who see it will definitely think that Dn is still 25 years old.

    Dn¡¯s face looks sweaty, it is certain that he came in a hurry.

    ¡°Sorry Li, I¡¯mte. The problem is the roads are really jammed,¡± exined Dn as he sat across from Liza.

    ¡°It¡¯s okay, I understand why.¡±

    Dn smiled with relief. A secondter he stared closely at Liza¡¯s face, which still looked the same as before.  Without him noticing, a drop of clear water immediately dripped down his cheek.

    ¡°How long has it been, Li? Now you¡¯ve changed a lot. From the way you sit, your gaze, your appearance has even changed a lot. You¡¯re not like the Liza I knew before,¡± Dn said softly, his feelings at the moment were mixed.  He was very happy to meet the woman he had missed for the past 17 years. But on the other hand, his feelings hurt when he met Liza, who was different from before.

    Liza nods her head, her eyes start to tear up.  He also tried to change the subject, ignoring Dn¡¯s questions.

    ¡± Miss , ¡± Liza called , waving her hand at the cafe maid .

    The cafe maid immediately approached Liza with a book listing customer orders.

    ¡°What would you like to order ma¡¯am?¡±

    ¡± Orange juice and fruit sd , bro , ¡± replied Liza .

    ¡°Ready ma¡¯am, what do you want to order?¡±  asked the cafe maid to Dn, after finishing writing Liza¡¯s list of orders.

    ¡°Just coffee and fried chicken, bro,¡± replied Dn.

    ¡°Okay, please wait for the order sir, ma¡¯am,¡± said the waiter, he immediately sauntered off to the kitchen to prepare the customer¡¯s orders.

    ¡°Li, how are Joan and the children?¡±  asked Dn and Liza nodded.

    ¡°Okay, they are healthy Lan. How about you alone? Your partner is fine, right? How many children do you have now?¡±  asked Liza to solve her curiosity.

    ¡°What? partner? I¡¯m not married yet Liza,¡± Dn said, surprising Liza.

    ¡°Oh my gosh it¡¯s true, so far Dn has never been close to any woman,¡± Liza thought screaming.

    Previously, when in America, Liza had obtained all the data about Dn¡¯s life. In fact, what made Liza feel sorry for Dn the most was the death of both parents and Dn¡¯s broter 5 years ago due to a car ident. Dn is living alone now without a wife  as well as a family figure.

    ¡°Oh,¡± Liza replied briefly, she lowered her head again, not daring to look at Dn.

    ¡°Did Joan treat you very well, Li?¡±

    ¡°Yes Lan, he¡¯s a good husband¡±

    ¡°But¡­.,¡± Liza trailed off.

    Dn raised an eyebrow, a sign that he was very curious about the continuation of Liza¡¯s answer.

    ¡°bro Joan does have my body beside her, but my heart doesn¡¯t fully belong to her. Every day, I¡¯m always haunted by guilt for making you and Yuna suffer,¡± Liza continued.

    Dn knit his eyebrows even more, he really didn¡¯t understand Liza¡¯s words.

    ¡°I¡¯m sorry Lan, all of this is because of me. I should have disapproved of my marriage to Joan from the start,¡± Liza said.  Her cries started breaking on the spot, swiftly Dn embraced the woman¡¯s body.

    They both dissolved into silence , only sobs could be heard from both of them .

    ¡°I¡¯m afraid Li, in this world there are no more people I can love with all my heart. Mom, dad and my broter have even left me. It feels like I¡¯m numb, I have no passion to do anything but work hard so I can die quickly,¡±

    ¡°No Lan, you still have me. I¡¯lle back to you soon, believe me!¡± whispered Liza soothing Dn, she rubbed Dn¡¯s back lovingly.

    ****

    This morning Joan and Dafa visited a cafe which is said to be the cafe with the best service in this city.  Vino cafe already looks crowded filled with employees who are looking for breakfast before doing activities in their office.

    Dafa started to sit down on a chair followed by Joan who also sat beside him.

    They chose to open the table upstairs, because downstairs was full and there was no ce left.

    ¡°Jo, what would you like to order?¡± asked Dafa while flipping through the food and beverage menus.

    ¡°Just orange juice and sd, because I¡¯ve already had breakfast at home,¡± said Joan to which Dafa nodded.

    ¡°Okay, then I want to order Jo¡¯s food first¡±

    ¡°Just call Daf¡¯s maid, you don¡¯t need to go there¡±

    ¡°I want to pay at the cashier as well, so that when you¡¯ve eaten you can take it straight away. Later you¡¯ll transfer the cost of your meal to my ount Jo! ¡± Shouted Dafa who was already running towards the cashier.

    Joan just gave a thumbs up. She chose to stand and enjoy the view, the breeze was so cool this morning.  Joan nced towards the first floor, beside that floor there was a fish pond. But it was not the fish pond that caught Joan¡¯s attention, but because he saw his wife hugging a man who was already familiar to her.

    With furious steps, Joan ran down the stairs to the first floor, her emotions peaked when she saw Liza affectionately stroking Dn¡¯s hair.

    ¡± Liza ! ¡± Joan shouted startling everyone on the first floor . All eyes immediately turned to the three people who were in a tense state .

    Joan immediately pulled his wife¡¯s hand away from Dn.

    Joan grinned at his wife ¡°Oh so this is an old friend you wanted to meet Li?¡±

    Liza lowered her face not daring to look at Joan¡¯s face which was now filled with anger.

    Joan¡¯s hand lifted Liza¡¯s slender chin, automatically Liza¡¯s face lifted to meet her husband¡¯s beady eyes.N?velDrama.Org owns this text.

    ¡± IF YOUR HUSBAND ASKS , YES YOU WILL ANSWER ! ¡± Joan snapped .

    Everyone present was looking at Liza with disdain.  All they have in mind is the figure of a wife who is having an affair with her husband.

    Liza was crying uncontrobly when Joan threw her face to the side .

    ¡± Stop Joan ! Don¡¯t hurt Liza ! ¡± Dn begged trying to protect Liza from the punch that Joan would soon deliver to the woman ¡®s body .

    As a result, it was Dn who was hit by Joan¡¯s burly hands.  Dn fell to the floor , while Liza immediately became emotional and turned into a very scary figure in front of Joan .

    que ¡­ Lizands a hard p on her husband¡¯s cheek.  Liza¡¯s eyes were full of anger, and so was Joan¡¯s.

    ¡°How could you Li! So this is the reason you asked us to move to Indonesia? Because of Dn, right?¡±

    ¡°Yes, I want to go back to Dn,¡± Liza answered confidently.

    Joan rubbed her face in exasperation , she did not expect Liza to return to being the woman who rejected her like seventeen years ago .  Clear liquid started to run down his cheeks.

    ¡°I¡¯m tired bro, for seventeen years I have to pretend to love you. Back when our child was born, I thought of being yourplete woman, but when I learned the truth that you covered up a secret about my biological mother who was killed by Aunt Zea, I didn¡¯t  I can trust you again!¡±

    ¡± Who ? Who told you ? ¡± asked Joan .  His body shook with fear.

    ¡°Yuna¡¯s older broter, she hears everything you and Papah talk about,¡± exined Liza again. 16 years ago David met her and told her all the secrets Joan had hidden.  But Liza doesn¡¯t want to tell this to Joan, she has lost her trust in the man. Joan can¡¯t help but let herself cry over the corpse of the woman who killed her own biological mother.

    ¡°About that, I¡¯m really sorry. I just don¡¯t want your condition to get worse, besides you were also pregnant at that time. I¡¯m afraid something will happen to our baby,¡± Joan said, sounding pleading.  He gripped Liza¡¯s hand tightly.

    ¡°It¡¯s toote,¡± Liza threw her hands away harshly.

    ¡°You are selfish bro, you only care about our child without caring about my feelings. You are greedy. Do you think being happy over the suffering of other people makes me happy, huh?¡±

    ¡°From now on, I beg of you! Come back to Yuna. She has lost her mind because of you. Forget about me! I won¡¯t be long anymore, I want to improve myself and make amends to Dn. As for the children, just give it to me! I  I will take care of them,¡± Liza said, making Joan¡¯s heart feel like a dagger was stabbing her.

    ¡°Don¡¯t be Li, poor children. He still needs us. I beg you! Please understand my feelings, I love you and the children too,¡± said Joan.  He hugged his wife tightly.

    Again Liza let go of her husband¡¯s body roughly ¡°It¡¯s toote, my heartache has be too much. I also wouldn¡¯t do this if I knew I was still long. But, you caused me to be sick like this¡±

    ¡± What have I done ? I have never hit you ormitted violence , so why do you think that I was the reason you got this deadly disease ? ¡± said Joan in astonishment .

    ¡°If only you hadn¡¯t married Yuna on that day, I wouldn¡¯t have been bleeding at the age of my pregnancy, which had just entered its first trimester. The doctor said that the bleeding was what caused me to have this cancer. Our children should not be present in this world, so I  can stop my acting right then and there,¡±

    ¡± What ? ¡±

    Joan was stunned by Liza¡¯s answer.  He never thought that all this time Liza was only acting in front of him.

    Liza smiled sinisterly , remembering her pain that day .  Starting from he was bleeding, to Yuna¡¯s rough treatment which almost killed her fetus.  He could no longer forgive Joan , for him Joan was just the father of his children .  Nothing more than that.

    For that he wants to make amends to Dn.  On the other hand, he wants to return Joan to Yuna, who has been suffering from a mental illness for years after being divorced by Joan.

 Extra Part 8

    After the fight that urred between Liza and Joan at Cafe Vino earlier.  Fortunately, there was Dafa who separated them and informed them that Kiran had fainted at school.

    The husband and wife immediately left the cafe to go to school.  They boarded the same car, Dafa was the driver, while Liza and Joan were passengers in the back seat.

    In contrast to Dn, who is still faithful, leaving no traces of the cafe.  He contemted alone apanied by a cup of coffee apanied by music from a singer who had started to perform on the cafe stage.

    The clock shows 09. 45 WIB.  Joan and Liza were both worried about the condition of their beloved daughter who had fainted due to shortness of breath during gym ss half an hour ago.

    Kiran does have a history of asthma, which she has suffered from since she was a child. But this is the first time the disease has recurred.

    ¡°Daf, who called you earlier?¡±  asked Joan curiously.

    ¡°Principal Jo called, he said he called you. But he didn¡¯t pick up, so he called me instead,¡± exined Dafa without looking back, he was still focused on ying the steering wheel.

    Joan looked at Liza with an annoyed look, while the one who was being stared at turned her face to the side.

    ¡°We¡¯ll talk about this problem again at home,¡± said Joan with a t expression.

    Liza turned around for a moment, gave a small nod, then turned her face back in the opposite direction from where her husband was sitting at this time.

    Joan began to feel angry with his wife¡¯s indifference.

    ¡°Stop seeing Dn! I will never divorce you, if you inbrot, go ahead! As long as you don¡¯t bring the children, the three of them are mine!¡± Joan inbroted, making Liza¡¯s guts shrink.

    Liza was silent, ignoring the words of her ex-husband-to-be, she closed her eyes, leaning her head back on the luxurious, soft chair.  His head ached, mixed feelings.

    ¡°Oh God, what should I do? I can¡¯t leave the children and give full custody to bro Joan. Please help me, I just want to live in peace for the rest of my short life,¡± thought Liza, praying to the  creator .

    The atmosphere in the car was quiet again.  The three of them were busy with their respective activities. Dafa, who understood the situation that was going on, chose to remain silent rather than further ruin the atmosphere.

    Ten minutester the car they were traveling in had arrived at their destination, at an elite school with veryplete facilities.

    Joan and Liza walked hand in hand towards the UKS room, while Dafa parked the car first.

    ¡°Kiran¡­¡± Liza called out in a worried tone when she saw her daughter lying limp in the hospital bed.

    ¡°Are you okay, kid?¡±  now it was Joan¡¯s turn to ask her daughter who had just woken up.

    Kiran nodded slowly, he held his chest which still felt a little tight.  Liza immediately hugged her daughter¡¯s body and confirmed her daughter¡¯s condition.

    ¡°Is it still cramped dear? are we going to the hospital?¡±  she asked.

    ¡°You don¡¯t need mom, Kiran just wants to rest,¡± Kiran replied, while returning toy down his body which had been in a sitting position.

    ¡°Yes, we have gone home, Ki, you better rest at home!¡±  asked Joan , it was agreed by Liza .

    ¡°Yes, it¡¯s true what Daddy said, you just go home. It¡¯s okay mom?¡±  Liza asked Mrs. Reni , the most respected person at JIS .

    ¡± Please ma¡¯am , just take Kiran home so that her condition can get better , ¡± replied Mrs. Reni in a friendly manner .

    Liza smiled relieved, she helped her daughter to get off the bed.  Kiran walked supported by Liza until she entered the car.

    Back there, Joan was looking around looking for the whereabouts of her two sons who didn¡¯t show up.  I do not know where the whereabouts of the two young men, since at the UKS none of them have met him.

    ¡°Hurry up, grandpa! It¡¯s really taking a long time,¡± teased Dafa, who was tired of waiting for Joan to get into the car, while Liza and Kiran had already entered.

    ¡°Rese lu Daf,¡± ??grumbled Joan hitting Dafa¡¯s arm lightly.

    Joan started to get into the car and sat beside the driver¡¯s seat, beside Dafa to be precise. Meanwhile, Kiran and Liza sat behind them.

    Dafa started to step on the gas pedal and left the school grounds , there was no conversation in the car . Joan was busy staring at herptop screen monitoringpany stocks , while Liza kept hugging her daughter ¡®s body who was fast asleep .

    Fifteenthter they arrived at the house that Joan had just bought a few days ago. Joan carried her daughter¡¯s sleeping body into Kiran¡¯s all-pink room.

    ¡°bro, do you want to go inside first?¡± Liza offered to Dafa.

    ¡°No need Li, I have important work at the office. Just stop by next time,¡± Dafa refused gently.

    Liza nodded in understanding, she shed a smile on her thin lips ¡°Okay bro, be careful on the road then,¡± Liza replied while waving her hand towards Dafa who was already back in the car.

    It was seen that Dafa also waved back from inside the car, the man had turned around to return to the office.

    Liza immediately went into the house after nobody was empty outside, when she wanted to enter Kiran¡¯s room her hand was tightly cuffed by a well-built figure.

    ¡°We need to talk, Li,¡± said the man who has been Liza¡¯s husband for 17 years.

    Liza could only surrender when her body was forcibly pulled into the main room, which was much bigger than Kinan¡¯s room.

    Joan sat Liza¡¯s body on one of the goose-fur sofas provided in their room. Joan crouched in front of the woman, his knees in direct contact with the full marble floor which felt very cold piercing into the skin.  While his hand was busy holding his wife¡¯s smooth white hand.

    ¡± What are you doing bro , quickly stand up ! ¡± Liza asked , she gasped in shock at Joan ¡®s condescending attitude in front of her .  Her current status is still as the wife of Mr. Joan Arkan Rivenno, it is inappropriate and even forbidden in religion for a husband to kneel before his wife.

    ¡°No,¡± Joan refused, she still stubbornly remained in her position even though Liza repeatedly told her to stand up.

    ¡°bro, what are you doing? Get up quickly!¡±  shouted Liza already getting annoyed.

    ¡°I¡¯m sorry honey, I¡¯m really sorry about that incident. I¡¯m sorry, but please don¡¯t ask to be separated. I can¡¯t live without you, neither can the children,¡± Joan muttered, the handsome man buried his face in his wife¡¯s thigh.

    Her body was shaking so violently , it could be felt by Liza .  The woman was unable to hold back her tears that were about to fall.

    Liza¡¯s hand reflex stroked Joan¡¯s ck hair.  ¡°We¡¯re done with all of this, we¡¯re both guilty. There¡¯s nothing left for us to hold on to now, my life feels like a wasted dream. I just want you to live happily. I¡¯m not old anymore, it would be nice for you to hate me,  so when I dieter you won¡¯t feel hit and miss,¡± exined Liza.  He tells stories like a mother who is reading a story to her child.

    Silence ¡­ no answer from Joan .  Either the man was asleep or passed out.  Of course he didn¡¯t care what Liza said.  Liza kept stroking her husband ¡®s hair , who still felt at home burying his face in her thigh .

    Liza knew that Joan heard everything she said , she continued her words which sounded like a will that would be given before she left this cruel world .

    ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I shouldn¡¯t have made my broter our third child. Keenan doesn¡¯t care because we focus more on caring for Kenzie,¡± Liza said guiltily, finally Liza¡¯s words just now made Joan speak up.

    ¡°Don¡¯t me Kenzie, this isn¡¯t your fault either. Keenan is naughty because he inherited my attitude. Stop exaggerating this problem, until whenever Kenzie is our son, not your brother or the son of that bitch. Don¡¯t bring up this matter again Li, I¡¯m afraid someone will hear!  ¡±

    Liza smiled crookedly hearing Joan¡¯s answer.  ¡°Pliss bro! Kenzie is not your flesh and blood. You better give your full love to our two biological children. I don¡¯t have much left, the doctor sentenced me to only a few more months. I will tell Kenzie if he is not our biological child  ¡±

    Joan shook her head , her eyes filled with tears .  I don¡¯t know what Liza was thinking, so far she has never felt burdened by Kenzie¡¯s presence, instead she really loves Kenzie more than she loves her own son and daughter.N?velDrama.Org owns this.

    Don¡¯t !  Never do that .  Kenzie is my son, the future heir to the Hope Group,¡± said Joan, making Liza widen her eyes.

    Liza immediately became angry, she couldn¡¯t ept that an illegitimate child from her parents¡¯ illicit rtionship became the sole heir to the Hope family¡¯s wealth. ¡°Are you crazy! Aren¡¯t you afraid that one day Kenzie will attack us and return to Grace?¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s better to give it to Keenan, but if you think Keenan isn¡¯t worthy, then give it to Kiran. He¡¯s better than his brother, but don¡¯t ever try to pass down daddy¡¯s wealth to that illegitimate child,¡± Liza snapped, giving a clear refusal ¨C  openly .

    Joan chuckled in annoyance , a minuteter she burst outughing for no apparent reason . ¡± Hahaha ¡­. illegitimate child you say ? ¡±

    ¡°Yes, Kenzie the unwanted child¡±

    ¡°Then what¡¯s the difference between our biological children Li? Aren¡¯t they illegitimate children? Children you don¡¯t want? Children you almost want to kill?¡±

    Liza shook her head, she sobbed sobbing.  There is also some truth in what Joan said, Keenan and Kiran turned out to be no better than Kenzie who both carry the title of illegitimate child.

    ***

    Outside there was someone with a tall and slender body who was eavesdropping on Liza and Joan¡¯s conversation. That figure was crying, she covered her mouth with both hands when she heard everything the two people were saying inside.  the two people he trusted the most.  He also felt annoyed because he had been lied to for dozens of years.

 Extra Part 9

    Kira POV

    I stood in front of the main bedroom door, my body was shaking uncontrobly. The feeling of tightness returned, just a few minutes ago I woke up. My intention was toe to my parents¡¯ room, namely to ask for my stock of medicines that Mommy had kept.

    But what I heard were things I shouldn¡¯t have heard. Starting from their divorce, the truth about my broter Kenzie and the most disgusting thing was finding out that the three of us were illegitimate children.

    Really, it¡¯s so cramped in here. I never thought that the family that I thought was happy without the slightest suffering was actually full of secrets.

    Inside there was still the noise of Mommy and Daddy arguing, the most audible was the sound of something being broken by one of them, I don¡¯t know who, I couldn¡¯t guess because I could only hear without seeing.

    I immediately returned to my room which was on the second floor, with my body staggering, I tried to stay strong to walk into the room even though my hands had to hold the wall to bnce my body which was almost copsing.

    When I got to the room, I immediatelyid my body on the king-sized bed.  I nced at the clock on the wall, it¡¯s still 11. 13 WIB, it seems like it¡¯s still a long time to wait for bro Keenan toe home from school first.

    I grabbed the cellphone that was on the nightstand, I immediately sent a short message to kak Keenan¡¯s WA.

    (bro, can you skip school today? There¡¯s something I want to talk to you about, it¡¯s really important. Don¡¯t ask Kenzie! If you can, we¡¯ll meet at half past twelve in the cafe near the school)

    Send , I pressed the send button to your contact.  After that I put my cellphone back in its original ce, I lowered my body back from the bed.  My intention was just to just rece my clothes with slightly formal clothes, because the clothes I¡¯m wearing right now are just a thin T-shirt with leggings.

    I fixed myself in the bathroom, for a few minutes I came backplete with a knee-length ck dress, which looks very cute when worn by a beautiful woman like me.

    Ah, I¡¯m so confident.  But in fact I am very beautiful anyway. I can justify people¡¯spliments about my body and face which are beautiful to the eye, I see my reflection in the mirror of arge wardrobe.  I saw that my face looked very pale, so I finally applied a little lip tint to my thin lips. After feeling that my appearance was perfect, I rushed to take my small bag and didn¡¯t forget to take the cellphone that I had ced on the nightstand.

    I activated my cellphone, I saw on the screen that there was already a chat notification from bro Keenan. I immediately opened it without thinking.

    (I¡¯m already staying at the cafe,e here quickly! Be careful you don¡¯t get caught by Daddy and Mommy!)

    I immediately put my cell phone in my bag and left the house through the back door. Fortunately, my parents were still busy fighting in the room, the household members were not seen outside the room either.

    ¡°Alhamdulih,¡± I said after I managed to get out of the tall and magnificent gate of the house.

    In front of me was seen arge street that was filled with passing vehicles. Even I immediately stopped a taxi that happened to be passing on that street.

    ¡°Where are you going ne?¡±  asked the taxi driver to me.

    ¡°To the cafe near JIS, sir,¡± I exined, the driver seemed to nod. I made sure he knew where I was going because there is only one cafe around JIS.

    I immediately got into the taxi, the taxi went straight to my destination. Approximately ten minutester I got out of the taxi, I saw bro Keenan waving his hand from one of the tables in the big cafe.

    ¡°You¡¯re taking too long,¡± said bro Keenan when I was already sitting in the chair opposite him.

    ¡°Sorry bro,¡± I said briefly.

    ¡°Here, drink first, I ordered for Lo ran,¡± said bro Keenan, handing me a ss of apple juice. Even though he is a delinquent, he is a good brother in my eyes.

    I immediately drank the juice until it was half left, bro Keenan just snorted in annoyance seeing me who was like a thirsty camel.

    ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Don¡¯t you usually ask to meet secretly like this?¡±  asked Kak Keenan starting the conversation, his expression looked very curious.

    ¡± Look bro , I want to say something to you . But you promise not to get emotional , ¡± he said .  I said nodded by him.

    ¡°This is about you, me and Kenzie. Earlier I heard Daddy and Mommy fussing in the room and saying that Kenzie is not our broter,¡± I said again. I stopped this conversation first because I saw bro Keenan¡¯s expression of disbelief.

    ¡°What? Are you kidding? Don¡¯t joke, Ki! This isn¡¯t funny you know!¡±  he said, as if to think if what I just said was a joke.

    ¡°I¡¯m not serious bro, Kenzie is Mommy¡¯s broter. Step broter. Thete Liam¡¯s father got pregnant with a girl who was not far from Mommy¡¯s age, if I¡¯m not mistaken her name is Grace.¡±

    ¡°Seriously, Lo Ki? You¡¯re not joking anymore, are you? I really can¡¯t believe why Mommy and Daddy made Kenzie our twin. No wonder his face isn¡¯t as handsome as mine, oh it turns out he¡¯s my uncle.¡±

    I nodded at all of bro Keenan¡¯s words, her expression was getting serious.  He took a sip of the drink that was in front of him to get rid of the burning feeling in his chest.

    I was silent for a while, letting bro Keenan¡¯s feelings calm down a little. In the end I preferred to stare at the co-gans who were beside our table. The group of men were wearing the same badge that Keenan was currently wearing.

    ¡°Wow, are you satisfied staring at Cogan?¡±  jerk kak Keenan startled me.

    I immediately turned my face to look at bro Keenan again, my face which had blushed immediately became tense like a dry kanebo.

    I continued our conversation again, even though I still wasn¡¯t ready. But bro Keenan had to find out soon, so that we could prevent our parents¡¯ divorce and solve the problem about Kenzie.

    ¡°About Kenzie, that¡¯s the first news, bro,¡±

    ¡°What¡¯s the second news Ki, quickly exin!¡±

    ¡°The news for both, our parents want to divorce. I don¡¯t know the reason, but at first nce I heard that Mommy said she didn¡¯t have long to live,¡± I exined softly, bro Keenan widened her eyes in disbelief. She must have felt the same way as me. We assume that Mommy and  Daddy is a husband and wife who are always romantic and love each other.

    Kak Keenan massaged her forehead ¡°I don¡¯t understand Ki, how could Daddy, who is super romantic, want to divorce Mommy,¡± said bro Keenan.

    ¡°I also know bro, besides, it¡¯s mommy who asked for a divorce, not daddy. But daddy allows it as long as we go with daddy,¡± I replied again.

    bro Keenan¡¯s bright white face looked red with anger.

    ¡°Are you okay bro?¡± I asked to make sure the situation.

    Kak Keenan nodded his head.  I see her eyes look ssy , very rarely I see her like this .  The Keenan bro I know is a cheerful person who doesn¡¯t have a heart, it¡¯s a rare moment to see sadness on her face.

    ¡°It¡¯s really crazy, how can they lie about Kenzie. And what I can¡¯t understand the most is their divorce n,¡± he said, unable to ept the situation.

    ¡°It¡¯s true bro, I agree with you! I¡¯m really disappointed. Especially when I found out the truth that our degrees are the same as Kenzie¡¯s.¡±

    ¡°What do you mean Ki, please exin clearly. What level?¡±

    ¡°We are no better than Kenzie who incidentally is an illegitimate child, I also heard Daddy say that we are illegitimate children, our presence is not wanted in this world, even Mommy almost killed us while still in his womb,¡± I said, bro Keenan looked shuddered at hearing  my exnation.  He smiled crookedly , his eyes bloodshot Devil .

    bro Keenan ruffled his hair Frustrated while I prefer to support my chin and see the reflection of my face in the small mirror that I¡¯ve been carrying in my bag all along. I made sure that my face wasn¡¯t too crumpled, I was afraid the men beside me would actually feel ilfeel to see my current appearance.

    ¡°Eh Ki, you¡¯re a little cute. I want to post a photo of you. I¡¯m afraid Kenzie willin to my parents if I get kicked out of school!¡±

    bro Keenan immediately posted a photo of me on his personal social media, he wanted to make an alibi when he came hometer. Mommy and Daddy are always monitoring the posts of their three children, they are even willing to create social media and follow our ounts. We are afraid we will do something out of line.

    bro Keenan smiled contentedly looking at his cellphone screen, I understand this is a tactic.  Mommy and Daddy will definitely understand us when they get home, I just want to find an excuse if I really want to drink coffee at this cafe.

    ¡°What are your ns next, are you willing for our parents to separate? I¡¯m not sure,¡± I said shaking my head, the hairs on my neck crawled at the thought of us having to go back and forth to see our parents whose lives were divided.

    ¡°We have to rebel Ki! So they forget about the problem and focus on correcting us! I don¡¯t really care about Kenzie¡¯s problem, I hope from now on don¡¯t get too close to Kenzie! Anyway, you have to turn into a messy Kiran, a troublemaker, eleven two  Be merciful to me! That way Mommy or Daddy will discourage them, they definitely can¡¯t take custody of us alone, are you ready?¡±N?velDrama.Org owns this text.

    ¡°Ready, I will do anything as long as our family remains intact¡± I said smiling, I promise from now on I will turn into a bad person, in order to maintain the marriage of my parents.

    Lisa POV

    Tired, sick.  That¡¯s how I feel right now.  My whole body felt very tormented, especially in my stomach and possessions. I really wanted to scream to relieve the pain a little, but I gave up my intention.  Right beside me was Joan who was lying down hugging me from behind.  I ignored it, choosing to sleep sideways and in the opposite direction to him. Not because I was angry, but I didn¡¯t want him to see me in pain.

    ¡°bro, please don¡¯t hug me!¡±  I said softly.  My hands were busy releasing Joan¡¯s fingers that were coiled around my stomach.

    ¡°No,¡± he argued.  It really sucks .  My stomach hurt even more from being hugged tightly by him.

    I could only take a deep breath, then let it out slowly.  I did that many times. At least my situation will improve a little if I do this.

    ¡°Li, I¡¯m sorry. I was really emotional,¡± he begged in a spoiled tone.Content bel0ngs to N?vel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

    I remained silent, I was very reluctant to reply to his words. My heart was too hurt when I received insults from the people who were in the cafe earlier.

    ¡°Honey, please forgive me. God is the most forgiving. Howe you can¡¯t forgive me. I know I was wrong today. So please, just this once honey!¡±

    I chuckled annoyed , when he shook my body . The more tormented this body , I really want to punch his face roughly .  If only he wasn¡¯t my husband, I¡¯ve done that from the beginning of our meeting.

    ¡°WHAT THE HELL SICK? I¡¯M TIRED THAT I WANT TO SLEEP. CAN¡¯T I HAVE A DAY WILL NOT MAKE A THING? ¡± I snapped. I woke my body up to get out of bed.

    Before my feet could touch the floor, the man who was lying beside me swiftly pulled me back so that I fell on top of him.

    deg .  My heart felt like it was racing fast.  Her bright eyes withrge eyelids caught my attention.  I didn¡¯t blink for a few seconds, I don¡¯t know what expression I¡¯m showing right now.  It must be really embarrassing. I thought.

    cup .

    I was shocked.  When something soft pressed against my lips. Ah, it¡¯s been a long time since I felt that touch.  After our children were grown, we couldn¡¯t freely act romantically, let alone to engage in husband and wife rtions in general.

    ¡°How are you still mad honey?¡±  he asked with a probing face.  A slight smile looks like he¡¯s mocking me.

    ¡°Nope,¡± I said, I quickly straightened my body and moved away from him a few cm.

    bro Joan immediately sat on the edge of the bed, while I preferred to sit my body on the makeup chair to just apply skincare.

    ¡°Think again! I don¡¯t want to part with you. If you are disgusted by me, at least think about Kiran and Keenan. They are already big, but think about their feelings. Are you that brave, huh?¡±

    I was silent, while continuing to apply night cream on my cheeks.

    bro Joan looks annoyed , I can see it in the reflection of the mirror .

    ¡°Li, please! Don¡¯t act like this! You are already a mother, no longer Liza who I have to persuade like 17 years ago. Do I have to do the same thing as I did when I asked you to protect the fetus in your womb like before, huh?¡±  ?¡±

    I saw from the reflection of the mirror, bro Joan approached me.  Her eyes were red and ssy with tears.

    Deg.  My heart raced again when he hugged me from behind. His body was shaking violently, his cries just broke, he buried his face in my back which made my clothes feel a little wet.

    ¡°Enough bro! Don¡¯t act like this. I can¡¯t bear to see you this broken,¡± I turned my body and immediately hugged him.

    He dissolved in my arms, for a few minutes we remained in that position.  It was raining heavily outside, very hand in hand bringing warmth to our bodies who were hugging each other.

    For a few minutes we hugged, I could breathe a sigh of relief when my husband began to look calm.

    I immediately let go of our embrace, he looked at me with a surprised look. I don¡¯t know what he was thinking. Seeing his swollen face made me feel very guilty.

    ¡°Sleep now bro, tomorrow I want to y golf early in the morning.¡±

    bro Joan nodded in the affirmative, and we went back to lying down on the king bed.  At that moment we were already headed to the realm of dreams respectively .

    ***

    Knock¡­ kno¡­

    I opened my eyeszily , I saw that bro Joan was still lying beside me . We stared at each other , she looked disturbed by Kiran ¡®s loud scream who knocked on our bedroom door very loudly .

    ¡°What time is Li?¡±  asked bro Joan while continuing to rub her eyes. She had started to put her feet on the floor.

    I looked at the clock on the wall ¡°Half past six, do you want to take a shower first or should I go first?¡±

    bro Joan seemed to think for a moment, for a moment she smiled showing a row of neat teeth.

    ¡°Come on, let¡¯s take a bath together honey, let¡¯s hurry up. We have to leave at six o¡¯clock, not to mention breakfast, it takes a lot of time. We¡¯re going to y golf in the heat,¡± his chattering made me a little angry.

    I just stared at him cynically, I really know what the purpose of doing that. I know very well his attitude that always wants to have sex with me, even though I strongly refuse he will still force me.

    Joan hasn¡¯t changed 17 years ago, he¡¯s still a rough man in bed. He did the same thing when he raped me in the apartment at that time, until I became pregnant with my twins.

    ¡°Yes, you go first, I want to find Kiran first.¡±

    bro Joan snorted in annoyance , with unenthusiastic steps she resumed walking into the bathroom .

    I met Kiran outside, my daughter¡¯s face looked very happy today. She was ready with her golf suit, that shirt was a present given by her father on Kiran¡¯s 16th birthday.

    ¡°Where are you going this morning, it¡¯s already so beautiful, Ki?¡±

    ¡°You want to y golf mom, uh yeah Daddy are you awake yet?¡±

    Kiran peeked into my room a little, her smile seemed to widen when she found that her father was no longer lying down but had cleaned himself in the bathroom.

    ¡°Wait honey, Daddy won¡¯t take long to take a bath.¡±

    ¡°Have you prayed Ki?¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s it mom, Kiran woke up at dawn and immediately started praying,¡± she replied bringing relief to my mind.

    Thankfully, my children are still diligent in carrying out their worship even though they grow up in a free country and the majority of people are Christians.

    I rubbed the top of my daughter¡¯s head. I never thought I could be a mother of three children at once, raise them, love children that I never expected to exist before.

    I am really grateful to have bro Joan by my side, this man really loves children, he always does his best for us and he never onceined when he helped me take care of the children.

    Oh Lord.  Can you give me a long life so I can love Kak Joan even longer?  Let me be the only woman that Kak Joan loves.  I have never really felt that everything I¡¯ve done for thest 17 years in my household was just an act. Everything I said at the cafe was just a lie, it was just my ploy so that bro Joan could hate me.  I just want to go without having to make a wound in his heart, I¡¯m sure he will be tormented if one day I return to Rahmatuh.

    You are all-knowing, O Lord.

    ¡°Loh mom why are you crying anyway?¡±

    Kiran noticed me suddenly crying for no reason .  This time I really could not hold back the pain in my heart.  I sobbed for no reason , Kiran also looked worried about my attitude this time .

    My daughter¡¯s tall body, which is the same height as me, swiftly embraced me in her arms, she began to calm me down.

    ¡°Mom, are you okay?¡±

    ¡°Yes, I¡¯m okay.¡±

    I wipe my tears.  As much as possible I keep smiling reassuring my daughter. I don¡¯t want to make her hurt, it¡¯s enough that I hurt them once, there¡¯s no second time.

    ¡°It¡¯s okay honey hugs, Mommy wants to take a shower first. It¡¯ll be toote to y golf,¡± I let go of our hug, I left my daughter who was still standing in amazement at the door.

    I just barged into the bathroom, ignoring my husband who was still doing his morning shower ritual.

    ¡°Loh, earlier he said he didn¡¯t want to take a bath together, Li?¡±

    I was stunned for a moment, that¡¯s my habit when I see my husband¡¯s naked body which looks very sexy and tempting. Six pack stomach, broad chest and broad shoulders have seeded in making me lose my mind.

    ¡± Why ? Do you want ? ¡± he asked .

    I shook my head strongly , my face must have looked blushing at this time . If only we had no ns this morning , I can assure you , this morning would be a hot and passionate morning for both of us .

    Arrrgggghhh!

    bro Joan looked at me with disappointment. I was reluctant to look at her and preferred to start my morning shower wisely.

    Bruh¡­ Brack¡­.

    The sound in the bathroom sounded noisy, because bro Joan dropped things like soap and shampoo on purpose. The atmosphere in my shower really felt like a chorus, starting from the sshing of water, the sound of toiletries falling, to the sound of her loud stomping feet.

    I can only say istighfar in my heart.  I¡¯m used to his attitude that will be that angry if not given a ration.

 Extra Part 11

    Joan POV

    Happy ?  The definition of happiness in my opinion is living side by side with a woman named Liza, a woman who has apanied me for 17 years.  I have gone through ups and downs with him.  She is a wife and mother figure who is good for me and also my children. What she said at Cafe Vino that day, I couldn¡¯t believe it. I was sure as sure as she was when she lied to make me hate her.  hurted .

    I have smiled since earlier to see the beautiful smiles radiating on the faces of the four people who are very meaningful in my life.

    This morning at 6 o¡¯clock.  00 we have arrived at the golf course which is not far from the elite housingplex that we live in.

    My three children have started ying golf. It¡¯s different from Liza who chose to chat with Dafa who is standing beside me at the moment. This morning we didn¡¯t invite Dafa to y golf together, but I didn¡¯t expect us to meet here this morning.

    ¡°Daf, so you alwayse every weekend to this field?¡±  I asked.  Then Dafa nodded.

    ¡°Yes, I alwayse here every Sunday. I apany my girls to y here,¡± he replied. I looked around, there were indeed lots of beautiful women with beautiful bodies.

    Liza looks shuddered seeing the movements of the Dafa women . They are like women who have no self ¨C respect , one of the women ys puppy eyes at me . Naturally , Liza looks annoyed at the woman ¡®s behavior .

    ¡°Daf take care of the girls first, I want to y with my wife,¡± I said goodbye.

    I took my wife¡¯s hand to approach our three children who were busy ying.

    They yed in turns , this time it was Kenzie who was leading the game .

    I approached Keenan who was drinking water on a tumblr that he brought from home. He drank the water until half was left.

    ¡°Daddy thirsty?¡±  Keenan asked, he handed the Tumblr towards me.

    ¡°No honey, just for you. Daddy¡¯s not thirsty yet.¡±

    Keenan nodded as if he understood what I said.

    I embraced my oldest body, looking at him with great affection. When viewed from the side he is indeed very handsome, more handsome than me or Kenzie.  It¡¯s just his attitude that makes him have ws.

    ¡°What¡¯s wrong daddy?¡±  Keenan raised an eyebrow in surprise.

    ¡°It¡¯s okay, Deddy just feels guilty because he scolded you and Kiran yesterday. I¡¯m sorry daddy.¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s okay dad, your handsome son understands why daddy and mommy are like that.¡±

    I smiled hearing Keenan¡¯s answer. Yesterday I scolded him all out because Keenan skipped school and met Kiran who was obviously sick in a cafe near their school. My emotions really exploded yesterday, the children almost became an outlet because of the fight.  me with their mommy.

    I really don¡¯t understand Liza¡¯s attitudetely.  She¡¯s like a different person from the Liza I know, her will I can¡¯t understand.  It bes difficult to understand .

    ¡°Come on Dad! Now it¡¯s Daddy¡¯s turn to y,¡± said Keenan, interrupting my thoughts.

    I immediately took a position and yed my go molf club skillfully. I was used to ying this game since childhood, being born into a conglomerate family made me restrained and required to learn how to y golf, y the piano and ride a horse. The same thing happened to women  who gave birth to my children .

    I yed the game for a few minutes, taking turns with Liza. Meanwhile my three children had gone home early because they had to take private lessons held at our house. I hired a teacher to teach them, actually they are smart kids, but  I¡¯m afraid they are behind in ss and are not used to the way of learning in this country. They don¡¯t have too many vocabry words, because when they were in America Liza only taught them some vocabry that was always applied in everyday life, while other vocabry  which certainly shows up in their learning a lot of words that they definitely don¡¯t know.

    I wiped my sweat with a small towel , the clock was still showing eight past thirty , but the sun was hot .

    Liza looked stifled, she waved her hand towards her face.

    ¡°The weather is very hot huh dear?¡±

    ¡°Yeah, bye, it¡¯s hot, I¡¯ll change my clothes first, okay, okay?¡±

    I nodded, he stepped out to take a backpack containing his clothes and headed straight to the bathroom.

    Now I¡¯m left alone, I can only look around at everyone passing by in that ce.

    My eyes fixed on a man whose stature I know very well.  He went with a woman.  I take my cell phone and take a picture of their closeness secretly. I intend to show the photo to Liza.

    The End of Lo Dn¡¯s History!

    Liza must know that Dn already has a woman he loves. After this I will make sure that Dn will never be the third person in our rtionship again.

    I put my phone back in the pocket of my training pants.  Not long after, Liza came up to me wearing a slightly formal dress. She was wearing a navy knee-length dress. Her hair, which had been tied up earlier, was now let down beautifully. She was really very beautiful. Her visuals never changed.

    ¡± When are you leaving ? Right now ? Or are you stillfortable living here ? ¡± Liza threw a barrage of questions .

    ¡°Now is the time for next year.¡±

    Lizaughed crisply at my small talk. She hit my arm lightly.

    ¡°Okay let¡¯s go¡± he said and I nodded.

    I grabbed her backpack, I didn¡¯t allow her to bring anything that could make her tired. I have to be aware of Liza¡¯s current condition, she might just fall again.

    My right hand embraces Liza¡¯s body, while my left hand is still faithfully holding her backpack. We immediately rushed to the parking lot and turned around towards a ce that will be a witness proof of my love for her for the past 17 years.

    ***

    Liza immediately got out of the car followed by me . It was already eleven past fifty . We traveled approximately two hours and forty four minutes .

    Liza was stunned as well as me . The atmosphere in this ce is really cool decorated with pine trees on the left and right side of this bridge .N?velDrama.Org owns this.

    Liza holds my hand , we cross the bridge . asionally Liza smiles at me , I am very happy to see her like this .  She really loves nature, she used to inbrot on taking me to this ce when she was only a month old. But mom wouldn¡¯t let us, Liza looked disappointed. And after giving birth, Liza still couldn¡¯t visit this ce, because we instead moved to America.

    I used to not know this ce either. Om Google was the one who introduced it to me.

    Lembang , this ce is located in west Bandung . It takes two hours and forty four minutes to reach it from Jakarta . This ce is famous for its hot spring resorts , Lembang is a hignd area that is home to the Lembang Floating Market , which is akeside park with vendors  food and crafts on the boat.  The Bosscha Observatory is the ce for pre-booked astronomical discussions and stargazing.  Tea and strawberry ntations offer excursions with seasonal fruit picking, while horse riding and animal feeding draw families to the farm gardens.  Nearby is the Tangkuban Perahu volcano which is popr for hiking.

    For me this ce is like heaven on earth, this time I will fulfill Liza¡¯s wish and celebrate our 17th wedding anniversary in this ce.

    ¡°Are you happy, honey?¡±  I asked when we arrived at the park which is close to the edge of theke.

    ¡°Very happy, thank you dear.¡±

    Liza kissed my forehead many times , my face was heating up feeling her gentle touch .

    Liza positioned her head resting on my broad shoulder.  My hands were busy stroking her beautifully flowing hair. We were both immersed in the sight before us.

    What other favors do you deny?  Another definition of happiness for me is when I see people I love living happily near me. Just seeing Liza smile can make me this happy.

    I took out a red box.  Liza looks surprised, he also solves his curiosity.

    ¡°What box By?¡±

    ¡°If I tell you, it won¡¯t be a surprise if it¡¯s a name.¡±

    Liza pursed her lips, I raised her head which had turned towards me and let her stare towards the front.

    I took out the object that was in the red box and immediately put it on my wife¡¯s neck.

    Liza looked surprised and touched , her eyes filled with tears .  He immediately hugged me. I thought he would be this happy, not because he got jewelery from me. But because I gave him a Star Ne.

    Liza still remembers clearly that I once said that a star that shines the brightest is the same as the most important person in my life who always lights up my life with its light. I said that while on the rooftop that night, when I asked her to be my friend.

    For thest 17 years Liza has always been waiting for a present in the shape of a star.  He wants to be the most important part of my life.

    She even once assumed that she was not a star in my life. In the past, Liza even used me, suspecting me of having an affair with my own secretary.

    POV 3

    18+

    It was already 9:30 pm. It didn¡¯t feel like Joan and his wife had spent hours exploring the beautiful scenery of Lembang today.

    Joan started turning around to split the road which was still busy with vehicles passing by in the city of sea of ??fire.

    Liza, who was sitting beside Joan, looked exhausted. The celebration of her wedding anniversary, which seemed simple and full of emotion, made her too excited. Starting from exploring all the ces in Lembang, ending with dinner at a resort.

    ¡°Are you tired, honey?¡±

    Joan stroked Liza¡¯s head using her right hand while her left hand was still busy ying the steering wheel.

    Liza nodded, she smiled ¡°Hmmm, not bad. Thank you for today by, today is the most beautiful day in my life. Thank you for making my wishe true. I love you. Thank you also for being a good daddy for our children. On this day  so in our marriage I only hope that you stay healthy and can take good care of our children and apany them until they grow up and have their own partners. Please grant my request, honey ¡­ you are the only person who can apany them  ¡°Lisa said softly.

    Joan stared at his wife for a moment then looked back to the front focusing on the street. The man was silent, listening to a few sentences that contained pain.

    Why do I have to be alone?  Where are you going, Li?  she thought.  he thought.

    Muach.

    Joan gasped in surprise when Liza suddenly kissed her cheek briefly.  The woman just grinned showing a row of neat and white teeth. While being kissed felt abysmally, she couldn¡¯t focus at the moment.  His face was as red as boiled shrimp, the man bit his lower lip, it was tense down there.

    Liza can feel her husband¡¯s current state. Joan is a man who is easily aroused even if he is given the slightest touch.

    Joan tried to get rid of her hot thoughts, she opened her jacket using one hand. For some reason her body felt very hot even though the temperature in this car was already very cold by the air conditioner.

    Now Joan has left his in ck shirt behind. Having bright white skin makes him very handsome in Liza¡¯s eyes even though he¡¯s only wearing that simple shirt.

    Liza kept looking at her husband . In contrast to Joan , who seemed to be avoiding eye contact with his wife .  For a moment the car was silent and there was no talk. Now Liza started taking her cell phone which she kept in her Dior branded bag.

    Liza typed a chat message to a contact on her WhatsApp application.

    [Tonight Mommy and Daddy won¡¯t being home, bro. Tomorrow, you¡¯ll be dropping off at school with Pak Anto, okay, because Mommy and Daddy areing home this afternoon.  Take care of yourself dear and remember too bro, tell Mr. Harto to close the gate of the house. Just tell me that mommy isn¡¯ting home tonight.  Please tell the younger siblings too. Be careful, don¡¯t be naughty bro, don¡¯t skip school tomorrow!  ]

    Sent .

    Liza can breathe a sigh of relief after sending that message to her eldest son Keenan.

    Done with the children , now Liza turns to talk about something with their Daddy .

    ¡°By, today I¡¯m really tired. I still have a long way to go,¡± Lizained, she pursed her lips and acted like someone who was dizzy from motion sickness.

    ¡°So what do you do honey? Do you want to stay for a day at a hotel close to here so you can rest?¡± asked Joan worriedly.  He continued to massage his wife¡¯s shoulder using one hand.

    ¡°Yes by. Just stay for a day, I¡¯m not strong. I¡¯m really tired,¡±

    ¡°Okay dear. Be patient, we will arrive at the hotel in a minute.¡±

    Liza nodded her head . She closed her eyes for a moment to relieve her sleepiness .

    Ting .

    Liza opened her eyes again when she heard a notification from her cellphone. She squinted to look at the screen. Laughter immediately broke out after she read the contents of the message from her oldest child.

    [Ready Mom. Tomorrow when youe home, don¡¯t forget to bring souvenirs.  Hehehehe ¡­. Hopefully it¡¯s twins mom so the house will be more crowded]

    Ha ha ha ha ¡­.

    Liza burst outughing .  Joan looked surprised to see that his wife¡¯s limp attitude had now made him anxious.

    What did my wife put in, O Lord?  Joan thought.

    Joan pulled over his car, he was very afraid to see his wife who keptughing non-stop.

    ¡°Eh, why did you stop by? He said he wanted to hurry up to the hotel?¡±

    Joan ignored his wife¡¯s words. Instead, he ced the back of his hand on his wife¡¯s forehead.

    ¡°It¡¯s not hot,¡± Joan said relieved.  Joan turned to look at his wife¡¯s face.

    ¡°You put Li in?¡±

    Joan frowned.  Liza shook her head, her lips pursed.

    ¡°Then why were youughing like that, Grandpa got Kunti in. Even though you were sleeping, weren¡¯t you?¡±

    Liza just smiled.  He immediately showed the message on his cell phone to Joan.

    Joan carefully read the contents of the message from her son. She could only apologize for her son¡¯s behavior. Her expression was still t, she didn¡¯tugh like Liza. It¡¯s just that her heart felt a little sore at the fact that Keenan had the same attitude as her.

    ¡°That¡¯s really impudent, Keenan, Li.¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s okay honey, they¡¯re also called ABG unstable. Just let it be,ter when they grow up they can understand and keep their attitude,¡± Liza reassured her husband. She stroked the back of the man who was sitting in the driver¡¯s seat.

    ¡°Let¡¯s continue our journey again, I¡¯m tired. I can¡¯t help but want to give you a living,¡± Liza asked, which instantly made Joan blush again, she didn¡¯t expect Liza to give her rations today.

    Joan stepped on the gas pedal again and turned around to a nearby hotel in the area .

    Until a few minutes the white Mercy branded car was parked neatly in a 5-star hotel whose tariff was more than 2 million per night.

    Liza got out of the car, she was carrying a small bag containing a wallet and cell phone in her left hand. Meanwhile, in her right hand she was carrying her husband¡¯s cream-colored leather jacket.

    Joan embraced his wife¡¯s body until he reached the hotel lobby. When he got there, Joan immediately went to check in while Liza waited in a waiting chair.

    Arriving at the reception desk , Joan immediately gave her credit card along with her ID card .  The receptionist first checked Joan¡¯s identity.  Then proceed with withdrawing a nominal amount that corresponds to the price of one room for one night from Joan¡¯s credit card. The reduced amount is around 2 million 300 thousand. Afterpleting the payment, the receptionist soon gave me a room key along with Joan¡¯s KTP and credit card.  .

    Joan turned around again to approach his wife who was still in the waiting room around the lobby.

    ¡°Already checked in, by?¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s it dear, let¡¯s go up to the elevator! Our room is on the 3rd floor.¡±

    Joan took his wife¡¯s hand to enter the elevator leading to the 3rd floor. It didn¡¯t take long for the elevator to stop at the destination floor.

    Liza¡¯s slender legs walked hand in hand with Joan¡¯s slender legs. They entered room number 24.

    Liza was happy because the hotel she visited providedplete facilities, not much different from the hotels she had visited in America.

    Intercontinental Hotel Dago expert, which is located in the city of Bandung, has a beautiful view too. Especially when viewed from the rooftop.

    Liza stared at the city view from the big window in the room. Joan hugged her from behind, asionally kissing her beautiful neck which made Liza tickle.

    ¡°Do you want to take a shower first honey?¡± Joan whispered in a deep voice.

    Liza looked nervous . She rushed to the bathroom leaving Joan who was warming up . She stretched her muscles , doing stretching so her body would not stiffen .

    While waiting for Liza in the bathroom the man started spraying perfume that he took from his wife¡¯s bag all over her body. Liza really likes that scent, so Joan doesn¡¯t hesitate to spray the fragrance on her body, so that Liza feels satisfied.

    Soon Liza came out of the room wearing a white kimono towel. The woman¡¯s hair looked wet.

    Joan nimbly lifted his wife¡¯s slender body onto the bed.  He stood above it, locking his wife¡¯s body with his muscr and stocky body. Joan gave a touch to his wife¡¯s face, he kissed all the carvings on her face.

    So beautiful .

    Joan raced with her passion , and so did Liza . The woman began to sigh in pleasure , when Joan did the unification .  Joan closed her eyes feeling the pleasure, her tension seemed to be relieved by the presence of the woman beneath her.

    Their fingers sped tightly, as if there was no gap for anyone who wanted to separate the two humans.

    Liza had tears in her eyes, between activities.  Joan didn¡¯t realize that, Liza tried her best to hide her fear.N?velDrama.Org owns this.

    Maybe this will be our first night?

    Could it be that this will just be a futile dream, when I wake up everything will be gone?

 Extra Part 13

    Happy Reading¡­

    This afternoon at exactly 2:30 pm Keenan and his two siblings returned home from school. They were picked up by Mr. Anto. The driver was specially assigned to pick up Joan¡¯s children.

    ¡°It¡¯s really hot, I swear, I¡¯m really tired today. I feel really tired when my body is surrounded by young girls, from morning until Ie home from school, the women stick to me. Like chewing gum, right, Ki?¡± Keenan grumbled when he had thrown his body onto the sofa  .

    Kira just nodded.  The woman was still busy looking at the reflection of her face in the mirror of her foundation. In contrast to Kenzie, who was still busy watching the news on television.

    ¡°Ken, aren¡¯t you bored watching the news all the time? It¡¯s just like grandparents¡¯ attitude. You¡¯re really old-fashioned,¡± Keenan sneered.

    ¡°It¡¯s better to watch the news than watching soap operas. Soap operas have more drama than reality,¡± Kenzie replied. Short but solid.

    Keenan looked emotional. He took the remote from Kenzie¡¯s hand and moved it to another television show showing young people¡¯s love soap operas.

    Keenan lifted his legs onto the sofa while his head and body wereid on the sofa. The way he sat waspletely different from Kenzie¡¯s straight and authoritative way of sitting.

    ¡°bro Keenan and the younger siblings, let¡¯s eat first! Bi Mina has prepared lunch for you,¡± offered Bi Mina.  The household member who is the oldest among the nine other household members employed in this house.

    Bi Mina, who had just approached her master¡¯s three children in the living room, immediately offered them to eat the dish that had been served half an hour ago. The food menu on the dining table was still intact, no one had eaten the dish at all because until now the host  have not yet returned from Bandung.

    ¡°Okay then Bi, thank you in advance. Brother Keenan¡¯s stomach worms have been raging since earlier,¡± said Keenan, he stroked his stomach.

    Bi Mina could only smile seeing the depravity of the eldest son in this family. For some reason, Bi Mina felt that Keenan¡¯s attitude was very different from his parents¡¯. Keenan was more simr to Dafa in every way.

    ¡°Come on, hurry up and eat, the food is stale!¡±

    Keenan pulled the bodies of his two younger siblings until they reached the dining room. Bi Mina followed behind him.

    The three 16 year old children immediately sat down in the chairs they used to upy every day. Bi Mina started serving them and filled their tes with rice and side dishes.

    ¡°Thanks, bi,¡± Kenzie said with her signature smile that can melt the heart of anyone who sees it.

    Kenzie started to eat her food with gusto as well as her two brothers.

    ¡°Miss Mina, go to the kitchen first. If there¡¯s anything, just call my aunt, bro, bro!¡±

    Bi Mina said goodbye before she walked away from the dining room. To be honest it¡¯s hard for Bi Mina to call her boss as brother and broter. She is morefortable calling them as miss and young master. This was all because of Liza¡¯s request that all the employees be at home  This calls their children as brother and broter rather than as master and miss. Liza just doesn¡¯t want her children to look down on people whose rank is below them. After all, they are also human beings with the same degree in the eyes of the creator.

    The atmosphere in the dining room looked colorful when the three siblings started discussing something personal, so they were about to open their voices when Bi Mina was no longer in the room.

    ¡°bro, Mommy and Daddy really went to Bandung right?¡± asked Kiran looking very curious.

    After swallowing the food he had chewed finely , Keenan began to speak .

    ¡°Yes, really Ki. Why really?¡±

    Keenan knit his thick eyebrows together.

    ¡°It¡¯s okay ¨C why bro. I¡¯m just surprised, even though yesterday they were arguing with each other. It¡¯s really weird to suddenly leave town together, I¡¯m afraid they¡¯re actually taking care of divorce papers secretly from us,¡± exined Kiran exining  his opinion.

    Keenan turned to look at Kenzie who was still faithfully eating his food without stopping.

    ¡°Ken, did mommy or daddy ever say something like that to you? You are the child they love the most,¡± Keenan gave Kenzie a sarcastic look.

    ¡°Yes Ken, have you ever?¡±  Kiran added.Content bel0ngs to N?vel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

    ¡°Never bro.¡±  replied Kenzie tly.

    Keenan and Kiran exchanged nces. It seemed like Kenzie was not the right person. They couldn¡¯t get any answers from a child who only cared about his books. Kenzie never once interfered in family matters. It was the same when at school, Kenzie always acted so stupid to everyone  people. That is why he has no close friends and is only apanied by Kiran every day.

    ¡°Hufftt¡­.¡± Keenan exhaled roughly. He also chose to close the conversation, the same thing was done by Kiran.

    They returned to continue their lunch activities that had been stopped.  Now in the dining room only the sound of scraping between spoons and tes could be heard. The three of them chose silence. Enjoyed their lunch wisely.

    It wasn¡¯t long before they finished their lunch which was lonely due to Liza and Joan¡¯s absence.

    ¡°I¡¯m going to the room first,¡± said Kiran who finished finishing his portion of food and drinks first.

    ¡°Okay deck.¡±

    ¡°Please bro.¡±

    The tall, slender girl stepped until her steps stopped in the living room. There she saw an aunty who looked beautiful and looked very elegant.

    Kiran approached the Aunts who were sitting on one of the sofas in the living room.

    ¡°Hello Aunt, who are you looking for?¡±  asked Kiran when she was sitting facing a woman who looked older than her Mommy.

    The woman who looked fashionable in a bright red dress was silent, ignoring Kiran¡¯s questions. She only smiled and then pulled Kiran¡¯s body into her arms.

    Kiran gasped in surprise. He looked scared when his body was tightly hugged by the woman.

    ¡°It turns out that you are already a big girl,¡± the woman whispered right in Kiran¡¯s ear.

    ¡°What do you mean Aunt? I¡¯m not Aunt¡¯s child. So please let go!¡±  Kiran rebelled , her struggle was in vain . The slender woman ¡®s strength was too strong , she could not let go of her body which was tightly hugged by the aunties .

    ¡°You are my dear son. Your daddy is my husband. Mom didn¡¯t expect you to be this big. Mom misses you and your daddy too,¡± the aunts whispered again.

    Kiran looked even more scared.

    Could this woman have gone mad?  How can she admit that she is the wife of her father and what¡¯s worse is iming to be a mother?  Kiran¡¯s mind monologue.

    There was nothing Kiran could do. Except to remain calm in the arms of that crazy woman. Because if she rebelled even more, she was afraid she would actually hurt her.

    ¡°Astagfiruh hdzim, Mrs. Yuna.¡±

    Bi Mina gasped in surprise when she saw her employer¡¯s ex-wife. In the past, Bi Mina had worked as a maid for Joan and Liza in the house that Mr. Ansel had gifted her. After Joan and Liza moved to America, Bi Mina and other maids also moved to Rivenno¡¯s residence.

    ¡°Hello, Miss.¡±

    Yuna waved her hand towards Bi Mina. She showed her devilish smile.

    Bi Mina immediately pulled Kiran¡¯s body who had just been released from Yuna¡¯s arms. She took Kiran a few cm away from where Yuna was standing at this time.

    ¡°Who is Aunt Aunt?¡±

    Kiran¡¯s body was shaking violently, her face was covered in cold sweat.  Bi Mina quickly hugged her master¡¯s child¡¯s body. Kiran always looks shocked, it seems that her illness was passed down from Liza.

    Bi Mina rubbed Kiran¡¯s back.  The old woman tried to protect Kiran from Yuna who started staring at the sixteen year old teenager with murderous eyes.

    Yuna slowly approached Kiran¡¯s body who was already slumped on the floor.

    ¡°bro. bro Keenan please!!!¡±  Bi Mina¡¯s scream echoed throughout the room.

    Soon Keenan came followed by Kenzie behind him.

    ¡°What¡¯s wrong Miss?¡±

    ¡°bro, please drive that woman out of here! She could hurt you,¡± Bi Mina pointed at Yuna¡¯s face.

    Yuna smiled with a smirk when Keenan and Kenzie looked at her.

    ¡°Hi darling.¡±

    Yuna waved her hand at Keenan.  Keenan raised his eyebrows, he looked surprised. As far as he could remember he had never dated aunties as beautiful as Yuna.

    But why do these aunts call him affectionately?

    ¡°Who exactly is he?¡±  Ask Kenzie to the point.

    ¡°Y-she¡¯s your Daddy¡¯s ex-wife,¡± Bi Mina stammered.

    ¡°What? Seriously bi?¡±

    Keenan¡¯s eyes widened. He didn¡¯t expect his father to have another woman besides his mother, Liza.

    ¡°Yes bro. But she has a mental disorder. Auntie is sure that she ran away from the mental hospital and came here secretly. In that case, Auntie, call your Daddy and Mommy first, okay, I¡¯m afraid something will happen.¡±

    Bi Mina left the living room with unsteady steps. She quickly called her master.  Meanwhile, in the living room, Kiran has been calmed down by Kenzie and Keenan, who are face to face with Yuna.  Yuna several times threw all the items in the room at Kiran , Keenan and Kenzie one by one . Luckily they were able to dodge them .

 Extra Part 14

    Lisa POV

    This afternoon, at 17. 14 WIB, my husband and I rushed to the house after getting a call from Bi Mina. Along the way I kept nagging my husband for not tightening security at our house.

    We walked hand in hand into the spacious and magnificent house.  How shocked I was when I saw the living room which was neatly and beautifully arranged yesterday, now it¡¯s uncontrobly disheveled.

    My eyes immediately fixed on the figure of a woman in a red dress who was sitting on the sofa apanied by two representatives from one of the mental hospitals in this city.

    ¡°Uncle Yuna,¡± I said softly.  Can still be heard by my husband who is standing beside me.

    Yuna got up from her seat and immediately hugged my husband unterally. He looked beyond happy, it seemed that what people said was true. bro Yuna couldn¡¯t move on from my husband to the point that she lost her mind.

    ¡°I miss you, Arkan dear. Where have you been all this time? I¡¯ve looked everywhere for you, but I can¡¯t find you,¡± Yuna said, still faithfully hugging my husband¡¯s body.

    ¡°Let go!¡±  bro Joan pushed Yuna¡¯s body so hard that her head hit the table.

    As a result, the woman became unconscious and was immediately taken by the mental hospital to return to receive treatment there.

    Finished with bro Yuna now we have to exin a reason to our children ording to Bi Mina¡¯s narrative that they already know about the identity of bro Yuna who was once the wife of their Daddy.

    Kak Joan and I entered Kiran¡¯s room.  In the room, Kiran was already lying on his bed.  He still looked shocked, his face was pale. Even he didn¡¯t respond when asked by bro Joan.

    ¡°Kiran, are you okay? I¡¯m sorry, dear Daddy, for keeping this from you. You want to forgive Daddy, right?¡±

    Kiran was silent.  He didn¡¯t want to speak or even to nod or shake his head.

    bro Joan looks frustrated.  He then turned to ask for understanding from Keenan and also Kenzie who was currently in Kiran¡¯s room.

    ¡°bro, deck. Do you want to forgive Daddy?¡±  Asked Kak Joan who was nodded by Keenan but not by Kenzie.

    Kenzie looked annoyed and immediately left Kiran¡¯s room. I grabbed Kak Joan¡¯s hand, who was just trying to catch up with Kenzie.

    ¡°It¡¯s okay honey, Kenzie¡¯s business, let me take care of it. You just wait for Kiran here, poor girl,¡± I stroked my husband¡¯s back, then turned around out of the room to follow Kenzie.

    I looked for Kenzie all over the room in this house. Nothing, my broter¡¯s nose was not visible to me. I stopped my search when I felt a pain in my stomach. I immediately dialed a number for someone who doesn¡¯t live in this house.

    ¡°Hello Li,¡± said someone on the other side of the phone.

    ¡°Today, prepare yourself! I will go to your ce now.¡±  I replied.

    Tut¡­. I turned off the phone unterally. I kept squeezing my stomach, which was getting more and more intense. I headed to my room first to get my bag and my car key.

    I went secretly to the car garage, I didn¡¯t want anyone to spoil the ns I had been making for months, including my broter Joan and my children.

    I got into my own ck Lamborghini Aventador car.  I immediately step on the gas to a residence of the person I called earlier.

    My tears kept falling during the trip, one hand kept squeezing my stomach which still hurts a lot.  While my left hand is still holding the steering wheel faithfully.

    This is the day¡­ The end of it all.  My position will soon be reced by a woman who has the same body as me, but a different soul.

    I¡¯m sorry bro Joan ¡­. I don¡¯t want to make you cry for the umpteenth time.

    *****

    I entered an apartment unit that was of standard size. With my body unsteady, I knocked on the apartment door repeatedly.

    After a while a woman appeared from behind the door.

    The woman immediately embraced my body, helped me into the apartment until my body ended up lying on her bed.

    ¡°Are you sure, broter? You can¡¯t bear to do this. It¡¯s better to call your husband now! He will definitely provide the best treatment for you.¡±

    bro Lily took my cellphone that I had kept in my bag.

    ¡°Are you calling Joan?¡±

    ¡°No need bro !!!¡±  I snatched my phone back from his hand.

    I put my cellphone back into the bag that I had been carrying. Then I gave the bag to broter Lily.

    ¡°Hurry and go now bro! In this bag there is a book containing photos of the children and also photos of my husband, Joan. I have also written down their favorite foods, hobbies and all things rted to my family,¡± I exined.

    broter Lily shook her head.  He denied my words. I know this is a difficult choice, any woman is not willing to rece her own biological broter.

    I took my brother¡¯s hand and immediately held it tightly.

    ¡°Please bro! I won¡¯t be long anymore. I don¡¯t mind if you have to take my ce in that house. bro Joan is a good man, she can treat you very well as long as you are me,¡± I asked softly.

    Lily started nodding.  I can see the implied sadness on her face. Even though she is a woman who is ssified as naughty and always ys men, but actually she is a good person. She works as a night girl at a club to support herself, it¡¯s really unfortunate for my twin broter.

    Nobody except Papah knew about broter Lily¡¯s whereabouts. I also just found out about broter Lily¡¯s presence when I read Papah¡¯s diary which was stored in secret in his safe.

    Two years ago I met broter Lily secretly. I deliberately didn¡¯t tell bro Joan about bro Lily, I thought at that time I could use bro Lily to be a surrogate wife for my husband and also a mother for my children. Her face and body are twins.  with me , even though his heart and soul are clearly different from mine.

    His appearance looks metallic, his wavy hair is very different from my straight hair. He always wears clothes that tend to be open and seem less material.

    He is not married, nor has he any children. I hope that one day he can truly love bro Joan and my children. From now on I will make amends for my mistakes and let him feel happiness, living in luxury.

    ¡°Then what about you deck?¡±

    I gave my car keys to him.

And if bro Joan asks you why your hair is different, just answer that you have already run and want to be different,¡± I said again. bro Lily nodded.  seemed to understand my words.

    He hugged me and wept bitterly.

    I rubbed his back gently

    ¡°Don¡¯t worry about me bro, my story will soon be closed. Reced by your story,¡± I whispered. I closed my eyes several times, this body really hurts.

    I let go of our embrace.¡± Go now bro, please carry out your duties well! Love them, don¡¯t worry bro there is Kenzie who is the same blood as us. My husband is very rich bro, he can give everything you want, you no longer need to sleep with  johns out there. So please leave now!¡±

    bro Lily nodded, she started away from my body which was still lying on the bed.

    ¡°All right, the strong deck, immediately call brother if something happens to you!¡±  he said when his steps were seen far from my current position.

    I nodded, I waved my hand at him as a sign of our parting. He replied with a face full of anxiety.  Gradually his body disappeared from my view .

    Now I¡¯m left alone, my breath began to wheeze.  I quickly called an ambnce toe here immediately. I reported them that someone had died in this apartment.
