After Julie and Jonathan's return to the Rainer mansion, Bill also returned to his routine at the Zigga Company. He had not told Joana that he would be returning to the Rainer mansion as well because there was no further news from Ryan or Jonathan.

That day, Bill was busy with some report files as usual. However, in the middle of his work, Bill received a call from Jonathan. Without hesitation, he picked up the call.

"I'm calling to tell you about your announcement party as the family heir." Jonathan told him matter-of-factly.

Bill sighed deeply. "Did you set the day?" The question came out in a voice that seemed heavy. There was no enthusiasm on the man's face.

"Yes, it's in a week. I think you need to prepare," Jonathan said.

"Yes, I do." Bill was sure that the preparations his father was referring to were the kind that would be arranged by the Rainer family, rather than himself. So, he didn't think it was necessary to think about making any preparations.

    Joana was stunned for a few moments. She really didn't expect to hear Bill express his feelings like this. She didn't even know how to react. In fact, right now Joana felt that she was dreaming. "I know I shouldn't be telling you this, Jo. I know that I shouldn't ruin our friendship with this ridiculous confession. But, I feel like if I don't say it now, then I'll never have another chance to say it again." Bill muttered in a voice that sounded a bit hoarse."If I could choose, I wouldn't want to go and become the successor to the Rainer family. I want to stay with Zigga Company. I want to stay by your side, even if it's just as a friend. It doesn't matter if I have to keep my feelings for you close to me forever so that you don't have to feel awkward around me," Bill said again with a bit of despair.Joana was still unmoved with a look on her face that could not be described in words. Her chest was beating violently. All this time, Joana thought she was the only one who felt more th

    A new chapter begins in the lives of Bill and Joana. The two, who were once childhood friends, have now turned into lovers. Neither of them had any intention of keeping the relationship a secret, but neither did they have any plans to announce it publicly in front of their friends or other Zigga Company employees.Perhaps because they had to be professional while in the office, Joana and Bill's behavior was observed to be normal. They had been close before and people in the office already knew that they were childhood friends, so no one was suspicious of their current closeness."Three days have passed. That means your time before returning to the Rainer family mansion is only four days away," Joana said as she leaned her head on Bill's shoulder.Currently, the two of them were watching a movie together in Bill's apartment. Earlier, Joana had come back with food she had cooked for dinner together as she had done before. After that, they chose to relax while watching Joana's favorite t

  • I'm Not Trash   The Great Play Begins

    The public was abuzz with big news. A well-known, respected, and influential family in the city of Arden had announced the news of a new successor who was suddenly introduced to the public. A figure who had never surfaced on any occasion. The news featured Ryan on a wheelchair and as dashing as ever. The man loudly mentions Bill Rainer's name as the main heir in the family. There was no spice to the story of Bill's journey. Ryan only mentions that something happened in the past that he can't talk about for the sake of convenience.However, that obviously didn't make the media go along with just taking Ryan's words at face value. Therefore, armed with Ryan's last sentence, the media competed to find out the truth of what happened in the past. It's not unusual, that's what the media and the public in general think about Bill, who suddenly appears as an heir to the city's most influential and conglomerate family. From there also came the fictitious speculations that the public made up t

    Bill Rainer has officially been publicly recognized as the heir apparent. The man who will be the face of the family in the future. Handsome, charismatic and rich. Those titles had been attached to him, making Bill feel that the public could be easily controlled by his grandfather. Bill's new life had begun. He left his apartment and took up a room in the Rainer family mansion that he used to live in. He left even quietly, unnoticed by his fellow residents so as not to be too dramatic. Only Joana knew. Lee, Ronie and Ginna naturally protested because Bill didn't even make a farewell party for them.At the Rainer mansion, Bill tried to behave as best he could. He had to be vigilant at all times, because although it looked calm, the place was like Arens' battlefield. Bill could potentially get a deadly attack at any time."I feel relieved that everything went well." Those were Ryan's words as he escorted his grandson to the door. Driven by a wheelchair, Ryan accompanied Bill's steps.

    "Yes, it really doesn't make sense. Unbelievable." Bill finally responded as he walked away and didn't give Ginna, Lee and Ronie any explanation.As if ignoring the rumors, Bill and Joana continued to work as usual. They also remained professional when they were together in front of others. Nothing looks suspicious, other than the intensity of their togetherness which is now more intense."What's going on? How can there be such absurd rumors? Is it true that Ms. Boss and Bill kissed?" Ginna, who was the first to hear the rumors about Bill and Joana, was still curious. She had known each of Bill and Joana personally well. It made no sense to her that these two people would do such a rather immoral thing. At least, that was what was on Ginna's mind at the moment."I was already shocked enough by the news that he was the heir apparent to RN Group. Now there's another rumor that's no less shocking." This time it was Lee who murmured."If the previous news was true, then is it true this ti

Both of them don't mind this and they also try to continue working professionally even though they are dating. Lee, Ronie and Ginna as Bill and Joana's close friends also seem to be more accepting of this relationship, even though sometimes Ginna still feels ridiculous herself.However, it seems that now Joana is the target of gossip. People started talking about some things related to Joana, sometimes even a bit outrageous. Even Joana's background and past, who was married and divorced, did not escape the attention of many people.Joana's character suddenly became questionable. Many even assumed that Joana helping Bill all this time was something the woman had planned beforehand.

    Bill returned to the Rainer family home after a long day of work. He was very tired today, though it was almost as if his tiredness was not due to work but something else. He was too tired to think about the bad things people said about Joana. The man wouldn't have thought about the employees' blasphemy, intentional or not, if it was just pulling his name. However, this was too much. "Bill!" The exclamation made Bill flinch, just as his shoulder was tapped. "Why were you called so quietly?" It turned out to be Jonathan.Jonathan looked surprised, since Bill had entered the mansion, the man looked like a confused person but was too serious to hear his call."Are you okay?" Jonathan asked, observing the look on Bill's face.Bill nodded while forcing a smile. "Yes, I'm fine." However, it wasn't hard for Jonathan to see through Bill's lie about that. Bill looked very tired. "Are you having problems at the office?" Jonathan asked again. This was exactly what Jonathan had been worried ab

Initially, Bill wanted to warn the people who were harassing him and Joana directly. In a rude way, of course. However, that would only harm them both later. Joana's good name would be further tarnished, as well as Bill's. In fact, it is certain that the Rainer family name will be dragged along.Bill's current position in the Rainer family is still very risky.

    Finally

    Everyone went back to their busy lives. Bill spends most of his days on the company. He no longer controlled it, but it was the kind of responsibility Bill had taken on when Ryan was alive. Under Jonathan's leadership, RN Group survived the threat of trouble that had been brewing for some time. About the betrayal of three big families, as well as the abandonment of a very influential person, Ryan Rainer. It's possible that these issues triggered a rift in the connections between shareholders. There was also the small matter of investors' lack of confidence in Jonathan because Ryan himself had never directly mentioned the change of power.No problem, Jonathan thought at the time. He faced it all with the perspective that these problems were challenges that would one day make his position stronger and more recognized. And he did get that. Not only that, Jonathan has made a huge contribution to RN Group. The company has flourished and managed to rise above the threat of yesterday's tro

    Before Joana could say a single word, Bill rushed over and hugged her tightly. Joana could only freeze with a suddenly blank mind. Bill hugged Joana for a long time as if he was unaware of what was happening around him. The people in the hall seemed quite surprised by the romantic situation. "Oh my God, why are they that cute?" Ronie, who was originally about to approach Bill, suddenly retreated again and now tears of emotion came out at the end of her eyes. It wasn't just Ronie, Lee and Ginna looked emotional seeing the couple. While the other employees were still dumbfounded by Bill's sudden arrival and the romantic moment without warning."Are you okay?" asked Joana while tightening the hug because Bill gave no sign of letting go. The question wasn't just an idle one, of course. Joana had been following the news about Rainer's family, the RN Group and everything. Joana wondered what if she was still in contact with Bill at that time and might be a hindrance or trouble to Bill.

    A Turning Point

    The funeral went smoothly. Compared to most funerals where there is a lot of crying, the Rainer family's home was quieter and quieter. This did not mean that there was no sadness and loss, but rather that their gazes showed a stifling emptiness. Diana cried all night after hearing Jeremy's confession. Ryan wasn't that bad and he loved his family very much, it's just that the way Ryan did it wasn't justifiable. Diana felt lost and regretful, though she wasn't sure what she regretted. If only her grandfather could have spoken frankly to her or the others, maybe Diana wouldn't have had time to hate Ryan.However, all of this was Ryan's choice for the good of the Rainer family. Diana, as well as the others, could only accept this fact."I didn't expect you to go this far." Julie let out a long breath. She had heard a lot about what had happened. Between shock and deep sorrow. Heading to the cemetery, Julie and Diana walked hand in hand dressed in all black. Bill and Jonathan were in fro

    The Passing of Ryan

    Bill felt that he was only dreaming. He had just arrived with the antidote he had managed to get from the Salomon family. He drove as fast as he could, running red lights, speeding down the highway as fast as he could. The only thing Bill feared was his late arrival, and that was exactly what happened. Bill was late.Bill's body refused to show how he was feeling at the moment. Even Bill didn't know what to do, what reaction he should give to this astonishing news. The doctor was still busy checking Ryan's condition, as if they were trying to confirm the condition and try to restore the old man's consciousness. Nevertheless, the screen showing Ryan's vital organ activity had stopped, giving rise to a deafening buzzing sound.Bill and the others were outside the room, watching from the window with a mixed feeling. Minutes passed and nothing had changed in Ryan's condition. The doctor stopped his efforts. That's when the family members entered. Bill went first, while Diana followed and

    Salomon's Poison Antidote

    The indebtedness that entangled the Rainer family business in the past was the beginning of the three extended families' relationship with the Rainer family, especially the Salomons. During that difficult time, the Rainer family asked the Salomons for help to protect their business from interference from others."How ignorant!" cursed the head of the Salomon family, who was currently behind bars. The man and his two colleagues looked frustrated. Various parties including their lawyers have been contacted, but no one knows what will happen to them. "The Rainer family should have had the courage to do this to us!" Marson growled with pent-up emotion. "It's all because of that damn kid!" Family patriarch Edmund cursed Bill repeatedly. "We should have just shot him in the head and even if we ended up in jail, at least one of them would have died! We're in jail anyway."The head of the Salomon family exhaled harshly. Although in reality it was the Salomons who had taken advantage of thei

    "What the hell?" shouted the head of the Edmund family. He looked hysterical as armed troops came from the opposing side. They all wore protective vests and police insignia that were familiar to his eyes."Are we being set up?" The head of the Marson family stared in disbelief as his hands were handcuffed. "Asshole! Let go! Hey, what are you guys doing?" Meanwhile, Family Head Salomon was still trying to escape. The look in his eyes was full of wrath. He was trying to escape the clutches of the special forces. "No! Let go!" He even pointed the gun that was originally embedded in his coat. However, it was clear that the special forces could easily incapacitate him. The heads of households of three families had been secured. However, this chaotic situation was still hard for them to believe. The troops that arrived were so numerous, they were no match for the number of the three families' men. The joint police team consisted of dozens of snipers and skilled fighters who raided the pl

    Siege at The Salomon Family Headquarters

    Bill felt a pain in his chest as a kick went off. His head was still wrapped in the black bag, making it difficult for him to breathe. Another blow hit him in the face. There was definitely a bruise on Bill's face. Jonathan felt the same way. His body was still lying on the cement floor with dust now dirtying his black suit. He was stepped on, kicked repeatedly and mercilessly. Until he felt a shod foot slam into the side of his face, knocking him back to the floor. Bill tried to stay conscious because Diana was among them. He had no idea that Diana would be included in this mission. "Bastard!" Bill cursed, but no one heard him. He was worried that his sister was an easy target for these rotten criminals. "Diana!" shouted Bill who, despite trying to make his voice as loud as possible, could only make incoherent mumbles, like a delirious sleeper. Diana was half-awake. She received a hard slap as she was sat on a wooden chair with her hands tied. As soon as the black bag covering h

    The Awaited Day

    In the end, Bill, Jonathan and Diana had come up with a plan that would be used to counter the evil plans of the three big families. After that, Bill went back to work as usual as if nothing had happened. So did Jonathan and Diana. They moved in their respective places without showing any attention at all to the three big families, there was only Bill who occasionally met with his enemy in the meeting room or simply crossed paths with one of them.Occasionally Bill would also engage in conversation with them, and as of now Bill was dealing with two people, one from the Salomon family and the other the Marson family. "Look, it looks like you're getting comfortable in this place." The Marson family member quipped with a dismissive smile. "Did your actions yesterday already make you feel like a hero?" This time it was the Salomon family members who spoke.The auditing people were still conducting checks, but it was clear that the three big families were currently becoming a byword as t

    There's only One Week

    Jonathan frowned, still not understanding Ryan's sudden behavior. He knew the meaning of the object now in his hand. "Dad, what's going on? Why did you give me our family seal?" Jonathan asked with a frown. "Because now you are the owner." Ryan said. "What does that mean?" Jonathan still didn't understand. If power had been transferred, it must not have been for something trivial. Ryan had never talked about this before either. What was going through Ryan's mind was completely out of Jonathan's reach. "My condition does not allow me to continue to be in the company and take care of this family." Ryan held back the pain that throbbed in his chest. "All the problems in the company I can't handle anymore, and neither can this family." "I know you're sick, but haven't you been able to handle it all this time? There's Jeremy who always helps you, right?" Jonathan still demanded further explanation. "Is my old age not enough of an excuse for you?" he asked with a flat look in his eyes.
