A few days later. "Where are you going, Daren?" asked Varro when he saw his son looking presentable. "Daren is going to Laura's house. I want to give the divorce papers to my ex-wife," Daren said. "Oh!" Varro nodded firmly. "Oh yes, Daren. I'm going to introduce you to someone," his father said later. "Someone? Who is it, Dad?" asked Daren, knitting his eyebrows together. "He's your personal assistant, Daren. I guess you could say he'll be your accomplice."Varro then called his confidant who would be his son's assistant. He was Arsen. The man appeared after being summoned by his master. "Good morning Young Master Daren, good morning Mr. Varro," greeted Arsen in a friendly manner. "Good morning too, Arsen." Daren answered Arsen's greeting. "Well Arsen, starting today you will be the personal assistant of Daren, my son," said Varro. "Yes, Mr. Varro.""Father, Arsen, then Daren will take his leave. I have to deliver the divorce papers soon," Daren said. "Should I accompany you
Laura arrived at the set. Her eyes lit up when she found Charlie resting. With sure steps, Laura approached the man, her dark lover."Charlie!" Laura exclaimed with her face bent. Charlie turned around, looking surprised to see Laura on set."Laura, you've come here. What's wrong?" asked Charlie curiously. She didn't usually come to see him on set. Laura took a breath before she answered Charlie's question, "This morning, Daren came to the house with the divorce papers. Finally, Daren and I are officially divorced, Charlie. So, I don't have to go through the hassle of getting a divorce from him."Charlie was silent for a moment, before smiling. He was happy that Laura would finally be all his. Charlie's purpose in marrying Vivian, Laura's stepmother, was not only to capitalize on her wealth, but also to be closer to Laura, and now what he wanted was within his grasp."That's great, honey. So we can get married soon," she said as she gently stroked Laura's hand.Laura nodded, even th
"Where are you, Daren? Why aren't you home yet?" his father asked on the phone. Varro was worried about Daren wandering off on his own. His good name had not yet been restored, and he feared that his son would be the subject of more gossip about Vivian's death."Daren's at the park, Dad. Don't worry, I'm fine. I was bored, so I wanted to get some fresh air," Daren said."Alright, if there's anything, let me know.""Yes, Dad."Daren then walked leisurely while enjoying the scenery in the park. He didn't expect to meet Charlie, his ex-wife Laura's lover."Shit! Why did I have to meet that asshole!" Daren growled to himself.Fate was indeed bringing Daren together with that man. How annoying! "Hey, Daren!" exclaimed Charlie as he waved.Daren didn't return Charlie's greeting, he remained indifferent."It's true what Laura said, you're still alive! Maybe you have a thousand lives. Haha... but, I won't give up. I'll make sure you go to hell as soon as possible," Charlie whispered. Daren
"Daren didn't hurt me, Charlie," Laura replied, "but... " Without Charlie realizing it, one of Laura's hands was clutching the hem of her dress as she was upset to see Daren with a beautiful woman. "But what, honey?" asked Charlie curiously. "That's it. Forget it." Laura couldn't possibly tell Charlie the truth. "Okay, we should go home," Charlie said, to which Laura nodded her head. Laura didn't want Daren to get close to another woman. So, Laura wanted Daren dead or rotting in prison as soon as possible. Meanwhile, Naumi and Daren were sitting on one of the benches still around the park. Naumi's mind kept wondering about Vivian's death case involving Daren, the man she was going to marry."Should I ask Daren the truth?" Naumi said to herself. Daren felt awkward sitting next to Naumi. He also didn't understand why Naumi had caught up with him and invited him to sit in the garden. "Naumi," Daren called out, breaking the silence. "Uh yeah, why?" said Naumi. "Why are you so qu
It was time for Daren to get back to his martial arts training. He strode into the dojo excited, ready to resume his martial arts training."Cheer up, Daren! You have to get stronger so you can fight your enemies!" Daren said to himself. A strapping middle-aged teacher was waiting for him."Welcome back, Daren," greeted the teacher with a smile. "It looks like you're very ready to continue training," the teacher said as he tapped Daren on the shoulder. Daren nodded firmly, "Of course, teacher. I can't wait to master all these martial arts techniques as soon as possible," Daren said firmly.Once Daren had mastered these martial arts, he could focus more on his father's business. The teacher smiled proudly at Daren's seriousness."Alright young man, let's get started. As always, we'll go over some basic techniques first," the teacher said. Daren nodded, then quickly assumed the ready position. His tall, well-built body seemed to get fitter as time passed. Daren looked even more hand
"Who is he?" Laura asked impatiently. "That Mr. Daren, he's... ""Arsen!" Daren shouted, cutting Arsen off. "Hurry up and take that woman home! Hurry up!" shouted Daren sounding snapped. "Yes, Young Master!" replied Arsen. Laura was upset because she didn't get a satisfactory answer from Arsen. Plus, while in the car, Arsen deliberately used a headset so that he didn't hear the questions from Laura who kept pressing him. "Arsen! Quickly tell me, who is Daren?" Laura shouted. Arsen even nodded his head to the rhythm of DJ music. "How annoying. Daren must have warned this guy to keep his mouth shut! Ah why do I care so much? It's not important anyway," Laura grumbled. Daren called his father's personal driver to pick her up. Laura's car would be taken to the garage by the driver. "I should have just let Laura get raped!" muttered Daren, regretting saving that traitorous woman. Arsen had dropped Laura off, and he left immediately to avoid being questioned by Laura. Laura also
Laura was getting nervous and so was Charlie. "We need to do something fast, Charlie!" Laura said, "Daren is very dangerous!" Laura rubbed her face roughly. "Yes, dear. You stay calm. I will eliminate Daren as soon as possible. Before that, I'll tell the media that we're closing this case." Charlie tried to calm Laura down. "You always say that, Charlie. But until now you haven't done anything! You're too busy with work!" Laura snapped.Charlie immediately contacted someone, he would get that person to work together to eliminate Daren and also Inspector Barra. 2 days later, at Naumi Aurora's residence."Naumi, I remind you once again, don't be friends with a killer. Don't you understand the danger?" said Mrs. Pamela, Naumi's mother. "But, Mom, Daren's not a killer! He's just being slandered. Naumi already heard the story from him," Naumi argued. "Why are you bringing it up again? That sucks!""So you just believe it? Does she have proof? Or did he show you proof?" asked Mrs. Pame
At a café Varro and Albert sat across from each other over a cup of hot coffee.Varro looked at Albert with a serious look on his face, "What's up, Albert? I can't believe you asked me to meet you here. You're usually so busy with work." Varro smiled as he took a sip of his coffee. Albert also sipped his coffee for a moment, then looked at Varro, "I heard that Daren Navarro is your son, huh? Is that true? My daughter Naumi says Daren is your son."Varro nodded, "Yes, Albert. Daren is indeed my son. The Daren whose identity I have been hiding. So, Daren and Naumi have met?"Albert placed the coffee cup on the table, "Varro, you know how much I value our friendship, right? But, I must be honest with you. I reject our son's arranged marriage. I don't want my daughter to marry a killer. Where would I put my face if Naumi married a killer!" Varro tried to remain calm, though he was beginning to grow angry. "Daren is not that woman's killer, Albert!"Albert sighed, "You are his father, Va
Daren and Naumi take their children, Alexander, Lucas, Bella and Rose to the place where Daren's mother and father last met. Although Daren had met his mother and father in a dream last night. However, it felt like something was missing if he didn't visit the grave of his father and mother. "Hello, Dad, Hello Mom," Daren said as he placed flowers near his mother and father's tombstones. The children were in the baby box trolley. Daren's eyes were already red. Although he tried to be sincere. But it was still difficult. After he achieved tremendous success in a short time, but unfortunately the success that Daren had achieved, without being accompanied by his father and mother. "Dad, Mom, Naumi and Daren are here to introduce our children, grandchildren to you," Naumi said, seeing that Daren seemed unable to speak, so Naumi took over. Daren wiped his tears, then kissed t
Daren stood in front of his bedroom window, looking out, thinking about his tumultuous life journey. Soon, he would be inaugurating five hotels and five restaurants that he had built with his team. However, before the big event, there was one thing he needed to do. "Mr. Daren, are you ready?" Make appeared in the doorway, interrupting Daren's reverie. "Yes, Make. Let's go," Daren replied as he grabbed his jacket. The two of them left for the hospital where Charlie, Daren's ex-in-law, was being treated. Charlie, who had slandered Daren for the murder of his mother-in-law, was now lying weak, no longer having any strength. The police said that Charlie's condition had deteriorated over the past week. When they arrived, the police took Make and Daren to Charlie's room. The man woke up and looked at Daren with tired eyes. "Daren...," Charlie whispered hoarsely. Daren looked at Charlie with a sardonic gaze, but actually he was very sorry, "Charlie, I didn't come to bring up the
Chapter 179It had been two months since the last meeting, and the atmosphere at all the project sites was full of enthusiasm and dedication. The admin staff, laborers, and all the workers and teams involved were enthusiastic about completing the hotel and restaurant construction projects in five cities.At one of the project sites, one of the head supervisors stood in the middle of the field with the laborers who were busy working. "Come on, everyone! We're already at 90%! We can finish this on time if we keep working with this kind of enthusiasm!"A laborer who was transporting materials shouted, "We will do it, sir, so that this project can be completed as soon as our superiors want!"At another location, one of the admins in charge of organizing logistics was talking to a truck driver. "Make sure all these materials get to the site, no delays as ordered by our superiors!"&nb
A few weeks later, Daren and Naumi had a big party prepared by Make and Evelyn. It was held in a large garden that had been beautifully decorated with flowers and sparkling lights. The party was to celebrate the twentieth anniversary of the Davidson company and to celebrate the birth of Naumi and Daren's quadruplets. Guests begin to arrive, dressed in outfits that match the theme of the event. The atmosphere tonight is absolutely buzzing.Daren and Naumi stood at the entrance, welcoming the guests with big smiles.Their four babies were in baby boxes. "Welcome, thank you for coming," Daren said as he shook the hands of the guests. Naumi was so happy tonight, she looked like a fairytale queen. In the midst of the crowd, Make and Evelyn made sure all the preparations went smoothly."Make sure there's food on every table," Make told the catering staff. "And don't forget to always check the drinks."As for Evelyn, she directed the guests to the seating area. "Please sit here, the show
Under a cloudy sky, Daren and Naumi walked slowly towards Green-Wood Cemetery, the final resting place of Daren's parents. Their graves were located side by side, with sturdy and well-organized tombstones.Daren grasped Naumi's hand tightly. "This is my mom and dad's grave, honey."Naumi nodded slowly, sensing the sadness on Daren's face. Then, Daren and Naumi knelt in front of the tombstones."Mom, Dad, this is Daren. I've come with Naumi, my wife who is pregnant with your grandchild. Daren wants to ask for your blessings and prayers so that Naumi's pregnancy is healthy, runs smoothly and our baby is born healthy," said Daren. "Please pray for Naumi, so that Naumi is strong and healthy," Naumi added. Daren and Naumi took a moment of silence, letting the silence speak between them. After a while, Daren hugged Naumi tightly."I wish my mom and dad were still alive," Daren whispered.Naumi smiled softly. "God loves your mom and dad more, honey, that's why God took your mom and dad. Y
The next morning, the doctor came to check Naumi's condition. Daren sat by his wife's bedside, waiting anxiously as the doctor performed the examination."How is she, Doctor?" asked Daren in a worried tone.The doctor smiled soothingly. "Miss Naumi's condition is stable, but she still needs intensive care at least until the day after tomorrow. We want to make sure everything goes well."Naumi breathed a sigh of relief at the doctor's explanation. "Thank you, Doctor."Daren decided to have a further consultation with the doctor after the examination was over. "Doctor, may I speak with you privately?""Of course, Mr. Daren," the doctor replied. They moved to a corner of the room to talk further."Actually, Naumi has had two miscarriages before," Daren said in a low voice. "I'm very worried that it could happen again."The doctor nodded with understanding. "I understand your concern, Mr. Daren. We will do our best to maintain Naumi's condition and her pregnancy. There are some things we
Two months later, at the Davidson Mansion, Naumi sat in the dining room, feeling sick to her stomach. Her head felt dizzy, and her vision was foggy."Evelyn, I don't feel well," Naumi said, holding her stomach.Evelyn immediately approached, worried. "Naumi, you look pale. What are you feeling?""My stomach is really upset, and my head is dizzy. I think I need to lie down," Naumi replied in a weak voice.Evelyn helped Naumi up and led her to the room. However, before they reached the room, Naumi suddenly vomited and then fainted."Naumi!" Evelyn shouted in panic. She immediately called the maid. "Quick, help me get Naumi to the car. We need to take her to the hospital."The waiter immediately helped lift Naumi up and carried her to the car. Evelyn drove the car quickly, heading for the nearest hospital.Meanwhile, outside the city, Daren and Make were checking on the construction of the project that had only reached thirty-five percent. "Mr. Daren, we are short of materials and labor
Daren immediately contacted Evelyn and Make, asking them to meet at a café. Evelyn arrived first, looking agitated and worried."Daren, what's wrong? Why did you call me here?" asked Evelyn in a worried tone."Take it easy, Evelyn. I just want to talk about something important," Daren replied calmly.Not long after, Make arrived. He looked nervous, but tried to keep his composure. Daren directed them to a table located in the corner of the café, ensuring that their conversation would not be interrupted."Mr. Daren, is there anything important you want to tell me and Evelyn?" asked Make, trying to hide his nervousness in front of Daren. "I want us to discuss your relationship," Daren said firmly."What do you mean, Daren?" asked Evelyn with trembling lips."I saw you two on top of the building." Daren smiled a little, he showed a photo of Evelyn and Make making out, Daren had captured the hot and passionate scene. Evelyn and Make looked at each other worriedly. "Daren, I can explain,
Daren entered the meeting room with a stern demeanor. Inside, the replacement architects were waiting, ready to present. Make and Billy were also present. "Good afternoon everyone," greeted Daren in a firm tone, "I'd like us to start by discussing the new design concept. The previous concept will not be used anymore, and I hope you are ready for this challenge," Daren said seriously. An architect named Malvinas came forward. "Young master, I have prepared some ideas. I hope that these concepts will match your company's vision," he said calmly. Soon Malvinas began his presentation, showing various sketches and design concepts on the screen. Daren watched closely, making a few suggestions and corrections here and there. "I want there to be more green elements in this design," Daren says, pointing to the sketches on the screen. "Parks and open spaces are very important for this project.""Sure, Mr. Daren. I will add more green elements according to your request," Malvinas replied. "
