Guests had started arriving at the huge party, but there was still no sign of his men finding Citra's whereabouts. What if his men didn't manage to bring her? Would he endure the embarrassment in front of some of his business partners?Martin, who was in the middle of the party, tried to find the whereabouts of one of his men who might have reported Citra's whereabouts, but until now no one had come to see him. That made Martin sigh, while some business partners had started to arrive."Damn! How come they haven't given any news until now?"Martin then decided to get out of the party crowd, walked towards the front, then took out his cell phone. Of course he had to call one of his men and find out how they were progressing in their search for Citra's whereabouts."Did you find out where Citra is?" he asked once the phone was connected.However, the information provided by his men made Martin sigh. Apparently, none of his men who were assigned to look for Citra's whereabouts had found h

On the way home, Ethan occasionally looked over at Citra and Amel. Both of them looked sound in their sleep. It seemed like they really needed to rest.The smile on his face was clearly visible, indicating that he was happy to see the two of them enjoying their sleep so much. In fact, the few bumps on the broken road to the village didn't wake them up at all. They really looked tired, so there was no response from them.The journey to the village was quite long, and until this moment Ethan was still driving the car. He continued to drive the car through several forests. Indeed, to get to his hometown, they had to pass through dense forests with towering trees. If passed at night, this road feels so tense. Luckily, they crossed it during the day so that the tense atmosphere was not felt.Citra, who had fallen asleep in the car for too long, suddenly woke up. Her gaze was directed outside the window, where several large trees towered high, giving the impression that it was so cool to be

"It's getting late, Martin. Have your men not found Citra's whereabouts until now?" The mother of Citra immediately approached Martin, whose face was no longer friendly. How could the man's face be friendly, considering that all the business partners who had attended this event had already gone home? In fact, not just some-they had all left the party after the announcement that the bride had suddenly disappeared. Martin turned his head towards Citra's mother. Obviously, he was angry at the middle-aged woman for Citra's disappearance, but still Martin could not vent his anger at the middle-aged woman, considering that she had been the one who supported this marriage, even to the point of forcing Citra to marry him. Only this time, Citra suddenly ran off with Ethan. Martin chose to shake his head, indicating that his men had yet to locate Citra. In fact, they had mobilized their energy to search for Citra throughout the city, but still she was not there, as if she had been submerged

"What about this, Dad? Until now, Citra hasn't been found."Citra's parents were on the terrace, waiting for news from Martin. However, until now, the man had not given any news, indicating that Martin's men had not found the whereabouts of their daughter.The middle-aged man beside the woman could only sigh. Since the beginning, he had actually disagreed with Citra being married off to Martin, considering that his daughter had never had any feelings for Martin. However, his wife kept trying to persuade Citra to marry Martin.And now, they were confused because Citra had suddenly disappeared. This should have been thought of from the beginning, considering that there will be no happy marriage if it is not based on love. Now it's evident that Citra has left with someone she loves. What else could they do now? Complaining was all she could do."Papa told Mama not to force Citra to marry Martin. Look at her now, she's gone because of him."Citra's mother immediately turned to her husband

After everyone finished getting ready, Ethan immediately got up from his seat, walking over to his car that was parked neatly in front of the house's terrace. He then turned to Amel and Citra who were currently chatting."Are you guys going to continue to be there?" he asked, looking at the two of them who were busy chatting, when they should have immediately left for a place that might make them feel a little calm.Amel and Citra laughed at Ethan's words. They hurried over to the car and got in."Of course we're leaving now, let's step on the gas, Brother Ethan."Hearing those words from Amel made Ethan shake his head, but in the end he started the car engine and immediately drove the car through the village streets that were not too crowded."Where is this going, Amel?" asked Ethan after getting out of the yard, turning to Amel who was currently playing with her cell phone.Amel, who had been silent for a while, actually also didn't know where she was going, considering that this ev
