At a famous hospital, a doctor who had just arrived in his office immediately opened his phone after receiving a message from someone.His brow furrowed when he saw the sent message.Catherine.[Do you know how Angelica behaves behind your back?]After reading the message, an image was sent next. Kevin, feeling curious, quickly opened the image. His heart raced when he saw Angelica holding hands with Brandon.Actually, Angelica had already told him they were going to a charity event. However, Angelica had told him that she would introduce Brandon to Catherine. So what was he seeing now?With a bit of emotion, Kevin immediately called Angelica. He wanted to hear an explanation from the woman. But unfortunately, Angelica didn't answer his call.Not wanting to give up so easily, Kevin tried to call Angelica again, but once more the woman still hadn't picked up the phone."Damn! How can you not answer my call, Angelica?"Kevin quickly ended the call, trembling as he left the room he had j
Seeing who was standing right in front of Angelica, the woman immediately stood up and wrapped her arm around that strong arm. "Kevin, how are you here?" she asked with an expression of surprise and joy.Kevin turned to Angelica and smiled, "I was worried something had happened to you, Angelica, that's why I followed you."Angelica suddenly blushed, she said, "You are indeed very caring, Kevin, but I'm fine, you don't need to worry about me."Their conversation made Chaterina, who of course couldn't take her eyes off them, feel a bit annoyed. Her hands clenched tightly, but she tried to smile. "That's right, Kevin, you don't need to worry about Angelica, I'll definitely take care of her," Chaterina chimed in.Kevin just nodded, his gaze now focused on a man who had been quiet as if he didn't care. He was Brandon, choosing to remain silent even though he knew about Kevin's arrival."Now sit here, Kevin." Angelica pulled out an empty chair for Kevin, where Kevin then sat down with a smi
Everyone was shocked, especially Brandon. The sudden commotion made all heads turn towards Ariana, who had just slammed her hand on their table quite hard. Ariana even felt pain in her palm, but ignored it.Brandon's eyes widened in surprise as he recognized his ex-fiancée. "Ariana?" he said, his voice a mix of confusion and disbelief. "What are you doing?"Angelica, Kevin, and Chaterina all looked at Ariana with confused expressions, not understanding what had caused this woman to suddenly come and bang on the table.Angelica, who didn't take kindly to the interruption, immediately stood up, "Are you crazy?!" she asked with a sharp look.Ariana ignored Angelica. She glared at Brandon, her eyes blazing with anger and hurt, "How dare you sit here, looking so happy and successful, after everything you've done?" she spat out, her voice trembling with emotion.Brandon, still shocked by her sudden appearance, tried to calm himself. "Ariana, what are you talking about? What are you doing he
After finishing paying for the taxi, Brandon immediately supported Ariana. The man now stood right in front of the woman's house.Before pressing the doorbell, Brandon took a deep breath. It had been a long time since he had set foot in Ariana's house since their engagement ended. And this was the first time Brandon had set foot there again.Not wanting to waste time, Brandon immediately pressed the doorbell. He stood in front of the door for a while, until finally, the previously closed door opened, revealing Ellie.Ellie looked in disbelief at the person who came to her house. Instead of being shocked by what happened to Ariana, the middle-aged woman focused on staring at Brandon.Ellie asked rudely, "What are you doing at my house, you bastard!"Ellie still couldn't forget the incident at the company. Where Brandon had hit Ryan, Brianna's brother, until he bled, she now glared at Brandon.Brandon sighed, "You should worry about your daughter before asking questions," Brandon said i
After Ellie's departure, Ryan paused for a moment. He looked at Ariana, who lay unconscious on the bed, still wearing her dirty clothes. Ryan realized it was impossible for him to change Ariana's clothes himself."How could Mom ask me to change Ariana's clothes? Is she crazy?"Ryan glared at Ariana in frustration. He didn't know what Ariana had done to end up getting drunk like this."Damn! You're such a hassle, Ariana." With no other choice, Ryan was about to change Ariana's clothes, but before he could do that, he hesitated.As an adult man, Ryan would surely be tempted if he saw a woman's body, even if it was his own sister's.Ryan sighed. He couldn't do something that would only put him in danger. After a moment of silence, Ryan tried to think, until finally he nodded. "This is for the best," he muttered softly.He then decided to leave Ariana's room. In the hallway, Ryan paused before walking towards the stairs. He went downstairs, looking for Mrs. Thompson, the housekeeper who h
Brandon returned from his ex-fiancée's residence with heavy steps, as if what had just happened had such an effect on the course of his life now.He sighed, expelling all the negative energy that had nearly made Brandon lose control.It wasn't the time for Brandon to feel furious about that woman's attitude; he would try to ignore it as if nothing had happened earlier.Brandon parked his car right at the restaurant where he was meeting with a patient he was treating and several colleagues whose names were already well-known in the city where he lived."Excuse me. Are they still here? My friends at table 13?" Brandon asked, stopping one of the waiters who was passing by.The waiter looked towards the table in question and then tried to remember who Brandon was referring to."Oh, under Miss Angelica's name, sir?" the waiter asked back with a friendly smile.Brandon nodded, confirming the waiter's question. "Where are they now? Have they left already?" Brandon asked again in a firm tone,
Angelica took a deep breath, feeling her throbbing head indicating she was experiencing dizziness.The woman leaned back on the sofa in the living room."Why does my head feel so dizzy? What happened?" Angelica muttered while holding her head that wouldn't stop aching.Angelica closed her eyes, and within seconds, she opened them again.She kept repeating this motion."Where is he? Why hasn't he arrived yet?"Angelica kept looking outside, staring at the main door of her house that still showed no signs of someone coming.A long sigh escaped her mouth, wondering where that person could be.Angelica grabbed her phone again, turning it on to see if there might be a message sent by that man.But there was nothing there. Even the last seen status of that man showed the time of their last connected call."I told him he needed to come back soon, but why hasn't he arrived yet?" Angelica mumbled, who knows for how many times.As Angelica straightened up, intending to wait for that man on her
Ryan clenched his fist tightly, the words Brandon had said really stuck in his mind."Argh! Damn it! That bastard! How dare he say that to me!"Ryan knocked everything off the table at the headquarters where he and his friends often gathered.He really couldn't understand why none of this was going according to his plan at all.Armed with information provided by Frans, who he knew for sure his brother was with, Ryan was finally able to track down Brandon's whereabouts.As soon as he knew where the man was, Ryan immediately went to the location, not forgetting to send a message to his friends that he needed all their help.Ryan did have a group of friends who had hobbies like racing and so on, something he never told his family about because if his parents found out, his Mom would probably just say that his hobby would only ruin their family's good image.That's why Ryan always kept it hidden."Boss... about our payment..."In the midst of the frustration Ryan felt due to his plan not
All day long, Ariana was in her room. She kept shedding tears, so sad that Brandon had left her. They were going to get married soon, but why did something so unwanted have to happen?"Why did you decide to leave me, Brandon? Can't you just give me one chance?"Ariana kept trying to call him, but until now, Brandon hadn't picked up the phone. Many times Ariana made calls, but still Brandon had no intention of picking up the phone from her. However, Ariana doesn't want to give up so easily. She would keep trying to call Brandon until he picked up the phone.Feeling annoyed because she had tried several times to call, Ariana rudely threw her cell phone in all directions, so angry with the man who did not want to pick up the phone from her."Shit! What do you want from me, Brandon? How can you ignore me like this!" Ariana screamed in her room, letting out her emotions to everyone around her.Eli, who was outside the room, was worried and saddened by Ariana's situation. He had tried to pe
Brandon flashed a smile. He could of course deduce from his mother's lucky question that she was really worried about him. Brandon was grateful to have a mother who loved him so much and was always there when he was in trouble."Brandon is fine, Mom. There's no need to worry," Brandon finally said.Brandon's mom nodded her head, truly relieved that nothing major had happened to Brandon. The middle-aged woman put down the fruit she had bought before deciding to return to the room. After putting the fruits down, she pulled out the chair next to Angelica and began to sit on it."Oh yeah, I just saw Ariana. Why didn't she leave quickly? Did she come here already?"Apparently Brandon's mother still didn't know that Brandon had actually remembered everything. The man didn't want to accept back Ariana who had betrayed him. Even though she had tried to change, Brandon couldn't accept her back. If it was just to forgive, Brandon would have forgiven, but if it was to return, don't expect Brando
"Brandon, what do you mean?"With her heart pounding, Ariana approached the bed where Brandon was being treated. She was a little worried; if he remembered everything now, then what about him? Would he leave her?Angelica remained where she was, looking at Brandon and Ariana in turn. Of course, she also felt curious about what had happened to Brandon. Why did he suddenly seem to have forbidden Ariana to come? Hadn't they been so close the past few days? In fact, Angelica had seen the two of them making out in the living room."What are you doing here, Ariana? I didn't ask for your presence at all," Brandon insisted, glaring disapprovingly at the woman who was now walking towards him. I don't know why she was here all of a sudden, when their relationship had been over for quite some time."I don't understand what you're saying, Brandon. Aren't we...""We're not in a relationship anymore, Ariana. And aren't you ashamed to come here after what you did to me?" cut in Brandon quickly, glar
Brandon's mother came out of the house with an inexplicable feeling; worry was overwhelming her. She was so worried about Brandon's condition. Why was he suddenly in the hospital? Didn't he ask permission to go to a café earlier? Then why was the call from the hospital suddenly saying that Brandon had been in an accident?Brandon's mother continued to run towards the highway, hoping to find a taxi that would take her quickly to the hospital.Angelica, who happened to be leaving the house, frowned when she saw Brandon's mother in a hurry. She looked confused at Brandon's mother. Quickly, Angelica decided to approach her, especially now that the middle-aged woman looked so hurried that it made Angelica feel a little worried."Tante, what's wrong?" asked Angelica as she tapped Brandon's mother on the shoulder.Brandon's mother instantly turned her head when she felt her shoulder being held. The middle-aged woman was almost in tears when she said it. "Brandon had an accident, Miss Angelic
The unsuitable meeting with Brandon made Ariana feel upset, but she would still try to get Brandon's mother to approve their relationship to the level of marriage.After meeting with Brandon at the cafe, she decided to go home. She had no intention of going anywhere, as she was currently feeling upset and in an uncomfortable mood.Ariana climbed the stairs as soon as she got home, but her steps were immediately halted when suddenly someone called her. That someone was none other than Rian; surely her brother was curious about the look on her face right now."Did something happen, Ariana? You looked so happy earlier, but now your face looks dull."Rian looked suspiciously at the woman who had just arrived. Of course she could guess what had happened to the woman, considering how she had reacted before leaving, and now the dull face she showed when she had just returned indicated something had happened to her.Ariana sighed. She turned to Rian, whose hands were currently folded over his
"Have a seat, Ariana."Brandon pulled out a chair for Ariana so that she sat across from him. Ariana nodded, feeling happy for the attention Brandon was giving her. Was he doing this because he was going to marry her soon? Imagining that made Ariana feel calm. She nodded and sat down in the chair provided by Brandon."I'm sorry if I made you wait so long, Brandon," Ariana said after sitting in the chair, looking at Brandon guiltily for making him wait. Ariana was sure that Brandon must have waited a long time, considering he was still talking to Ryan, his younger brother.Brandon just nodded and decided to sit back in his chair. After that, he called a waiter to immediately prepare food for the two of them."What would you like to order, Ariana?" asked Brandon after receiving the menu book from the waiter. He then handed one of the menu books to Ariana.Ariana immediately grabbed the menu book offered by Brandon and read all the options in the cafe. After finding the menu she wanted,
After telling his mother everything about getting married, Brandon felt a little relieved. At least, his mother already knew that Ariana wanted to get married, it's just that his mother still didn't agree with rushing to decide to get married. Currently, Brandon was at a cafe quite close to Ariana's house. He decided to meet with her and talk about this, hoping that she would understand. After all, he himself was still not ready to take things to a more serious level. Meanwhile, Ariana, who was still at home, was wearing make-up with a smile on her face. She was happy that she would soon be married to Brandon, especially after he expressed his wishes. She was sure that Brandon would talk about their wedding at the café. Still in her room, Ariana wore quite a bit of make-up, hoping that even with the light make-up, Brandon would always be mesmerized by her. As Ariana was getting dressed, someone suddenly opened the door. She had no intention of turning around because she was too fo
After Ariana's departure, Brandon was silent on the couch, thinking about what they had talked about this time. She already wanted to marry him, and Brandon, ready or not, had to tell his mother this. After all, they had been engaged for quite some time, which meant it was appropriate for them to take things to a more serious level."Will I eventually marry Ariana?"Brandon was pensive as he stared out the window. His mind was currently completely occupied with Ariana's request for marriage. They couldn't possibly continue like this without a more definite bond. Although it was only an engagement, they had been engaged for quite some time.Brandon sighed, a little annoyed by what he was thinking. Honestly, the man still had no plans to get married. However, he also couldn't possibly keep making promises to Ariana. She might turn and leave him, looking for someone more serious, and Brandon certainly didn't want that to happen."What should I do?"Hearing the sound of the car that had j
"Does Angelica come here often?"It was only after Angelica's departure that Ariana asked Brandon. Of course, she was quite surprised by Angelica's sudden arrival, and she had even interrupted her moment of intimacy with Brandon. How could she just walk in without knocking first, something he had never imagined before.Brandon was a little uncomfortable with the questions Ariana had just asked about Angelica. He knew that Angelica had just made a mistake, but did Ariana have to talk about her?Brandon was silent for a moment, trying to find the right words so that Ariana wouldn't suspect him. After all, he didn't have a special relationship with Angelica either and had never had feelings for her."She's my patient, Ariana. You don't need to worry about that."Those seemed to be the right words for Brandon to say at the moment, hoping that the woman beside him would understand and not prolong the matter, despite his efforts.Hearing the words that Brandon had just said, made Ariana sil
