Phone calls even reached Xavier's mobile, prompting him to immediately turn the screen back on."Audi?""Argh! Help me, Xavier!"The man appeared torn. Simultaneously, Audi sought his assistance.With no other option, Xavier reluctantly had to aid the woman."Troublesome!"Xavier muttered to himself. He stashed his phone away, ignoring the assistant's call.A long sigh escaped Xavier's mouth. The woman had ended up in a position entirely unfit to be seen.Her entire body was inside a trash bin."Don't peek! Watch out if you dare to be lewd!"Whether he liked it or not, Xavier certainly saw the layer of pants worn by the woman. Short and only covering half of her legs."Have you forgotten? I've never been interested in a body like yours."Audi wanted to be as angry as possible this time. However, considering that only the man could help her, Audi had to restrain herself."Uh... Do you eat rocks?"After helping the woman out of the trash bin, Audi immediately received an ultimatum from
"What are you doing?"Audi then let go of the man's hand. As usual, a smirk would color the woman's face."Earlier, I was just..."Audi tightly shut her mouth again.The man seemed completely uninterested in any explanation Audi might offer."I shouldn't have thought he would listen to my explanation."Audi took a deep breath. The strong scent of her body prompted Audi to hurry to the receptionist present there."Psst! Mika! Mika!"Audi called the woman at the reception desk. Quickly, the woman approached her."Sis Audi?! Oh my goodness! It's been so long since Sis Audi was last seen here. Usually, you're here every day."Audi seemed to raise her fingers, placing them at the tip of her nose."Don't be too loud! Oh yeah, later my friend will pay for his treatment along with mine. Please take care of my bill by telling him that my treatment is in the lower class. You don't need to ask too much, just do what I say."Although confused, the woman immediately nodded as instructed by Audi."
A while back...Victor walked out of his office. It seemed like he needed to talk to the man who, for some reason, felt like a threat to him at the moment.However, contrary to his expectations, the person he was looking for was not there."Where is he? Why isn't he here?"Victor furrowed his brow, trying to notice the empty desk. It turned out it wasn't just Xavier's place but also the spot of the woman who always defended Xavier."Where did they both go? Are they on a break? Their break should be over soon; they should be back by now."Victor looked at his wrist, trying to guess where they might be right now.Soon after, the woman who had entered Victor's room without permission returned to her desk.She seemed puzzled by the sudden presence of the director."Mr. Victor? Are you here?" Melanie asked, placing her box of french fries and burger on the desk.Victor turned around, finding the woman staring at him intently. "Do you know where they are?"Melanie fell silent. She hadn't se
-Zeyn[He ordered someone to follow you, Young Master.]Before packing up to leave, Xavier just opened the message that had been sent by Zeyn hours ago.Even the message was sent right after Xavier contacted Zeyn to report his absence and the woman beside him."Damn!"Xavier slammed the table, venting the anger that enveloped him.Audi, who had just finished packing, appeared to sling her bag over one shoulder."What's wrong?" Audi asked, puzzled by the man's sudden behavior.Xavier remained unmoved, shifting his gaze to the woman."All because of you!"For the first time, Xavier expressed his frustration to the woman through a sentence.His face hardened, his emotions rising as if ready to be unleashed on the woman."Because of me? What have I done?"Confused, Audi tried to seek an explanation for the accusations made by Xavier.However, the man did not articulate his sentence again.His face only showed increasing flatness over time. A long sigh, that's all Audi could do at the mome
"Audi walked through the darkness of the night. She continued along the sidewalk, illuminated by the dim glow of the streetlights.The tears streamed relentlessly from her eyes. Her heart ached deeply upon realizing that the man had truly left her."He really doesn't care about me. I know he's upset and angry with me, but does he have to leave me like this? I'm truly scared and alone."Audi walked, embracing herself.The drizzling rain moistened the earth, but Audi paid no attention, allowing herself to get wet."Where are you, Xavier? I'm scared. I'd rather be scolded by you than be left like this. I'm afraid. I'm really scared right now."Her eyes occasionally scanned the road, hoping to find Xavier and his motorcycle.However, it seemed all of it existed only in her mind. In reality, Xavier wouldn't return for a woman who caused trouble in his life."I shouldn't have done that. No matter what, it's all because of my excessive actions. If I hadn't behaved recklessly, none of this wo
Xavier descended alongside Audi, who still appeared traumatized. The woman seemed unsettled, as if her mind had paused at a point where she almost lost her dignity."Xavier..."With a soft tone, she bravely called out to the man, who barely glanced her way. One of his eyebrows raised, indicating he was questioning why she called him."I... I'm still scared because of what happened earlier. Can I ask you for something?"With caution, she tried to phrase her words so as not to mislead Xavier."What?"After hearing his response, Audi gathered the courage to look at his face."Can I sleep with you? I mean... share the same room. But if you want me on the sofa or the floor, that's okay too. I'm just uneasy about the current atmosphere."Xavier stared flatly at her. A long exhale escaped his mouth."Come along."Xavier took the lead, and Audi quickly followed behind him. She didn't allow much distance between them. Though initially, Xavier wanted to object, his father's words reminded him o
Audi opened her eyes when she felt someone's breath brushing against her face. Both of her eyes widened instantly, finding the proximity of her face to Xavier's intensely close.Xavier, facing Audi, had tightly embraced her waist."Am I dreaming?" Audi mumbled, pulling her hand slowly to assess the situation."Ouch!" Audi exclaimed when the pinch she gave to her face felt painful, indicating that she wasn't currently dreaming.With difficulty, Audi tried to swallow her saliva. Being so close, she could feel the man's breath leaving an uncontrollable heartbeat debate for her.She had to admit, the man was very handsome. Even while sleeping, Audi couldn't stop staring at him.Complimentary words involuntarily escaped Audi's mouth and mind.The perfectly sculpted figure left Audi only able to gaze and go silent."No! What's wrong with me? Why am I like this? Stop this madness, Audi!"Audi closed her eyes for quite a while, trying to dispel any strange thoughts in her head. At that moment
Xavier came to the office alone.His gaze was sharp, with a typical impassive face that never deviated from its expression."Sorry, Mr. Xavier. There's a parcel for you."Xavier, who seemed focused on his goal of the row of desks specifically designated for staff, then turned to the receptionist's desk.The woman had called him earlier.Without uttering a word, Xavier immediately took the letter and continued his journey towards his delayed row of desks."He doesn't even know how to say thank you. At least say thanks or something; his expression is so flat. There's not a single sign of manners."As usual, gossiping people always talked about Xavier. They seemed unwilling to accept him for who he was.Always wanting anyone in their sight to conform to their discussions.A long sigh escaped from Xavier's mouth as he placed his bag and the letter on his work desk."Why should I even bother!"Xavier quickly dismissed the thoughts enveloping his mind. Suddenly, he found himself intrigued t
"Do you want something? I'll buy it for you."Xavier sat beside Audi, staring at the woman who was silent. Since returning home the woman had been confined to herself, not wanting to come out of the room at all."Audi," Xavier whispered while gently holding the woman's fingers. Seeing Audi who was only silent like this, made Xavier sad, it seemed like there was a heavy trauma experienced by his wife during the kidnapping."You're home, dear, so... stop being sad. You're safe now." Xavier kissed those delicate fingers, kissing them fondly. He loved the woman who became his wife very much.Seeing Xavier treat her like this brought tears to Audi's eyes. For some reason there was a sudden tightness in her chest. She also slowly pulled her hand from Xavier's grip, making Xavier look directly at the woman."What's wrong, Dear? Why are you crying?"Audi shook her head, turning her face away to stare in another direction. The image of when Anthony had grabbed her chastity, made Audi instantly
"Madam, Miss Elnora came here just now."Mrs. Lena, who was just about to leave in her luxury car through the gate, immediately stopped when she heard the report from the security guard of her daughter-in-law's house.Madame Lena was currently planning to go to a supermarket to make Audi's favorite meal. After her daughter arrived home, until that moment her daughter looked so gloomy that she even touched the food only slightly. That's why Madame Lena wanted to make Audi's favorite meal which her daughter had never refused. The middle-aged woman turned her head, frowning in confusion as she looked at the security guard right beside her car. "Miss Elnora? You mean Xavier's ex-wife?" asked Madame Lena to confirm her hearing. The security guard nodded his head and replied, "Yes, ma'am, Miss Lena came here just recently. But I've asked her to come back tomorrow because Mr. Xavier doesn't want to be disturbed."Hearing the explanation from the security guard made Madame Lena sigh. She d
"Well, can you at least take me there?"Keyaa reflexively released her embrace of Elnora. The woman was quite surprised by the request that just came out of her best friend's mouth. Was she not hearing it wrong this time? "What did you just say elnora, didn't I hear wrong?" Keysa looked seriously at Elnora, where the woman was currently shaking her head as a sign that Keysa had not heard wrong."No, Keysa, you're not."Keysa sighed, she didn't understand at all what was the purpose of El Nora asking her to take the woman to Xavier's house. Though the man was already happy for meeting his wife, but now what else did Elnora want? Can't that woman stop bothering Xavier? Seeing the reaction given by Keysa made Elnora then say, "don't get me wrong Keysa. I'm just there to see how Audi is doing."Although ElNora had said so, but still He did not agree with what Elnora said. "Shouldn't you just call Xavier, Elnora? Instead of bothering to come there."El Nora quickly shook her head, indica
In the morning, Keysa, who had heard the news about Audi, decided to go to Elnora's apartment. She needed to tell her best friend in person."Where are you going, Keysa?"Billy, who had just finished showering, approached his girlfriend when he saw that she was currently getting dressed, indicating that she would be coming out soon.Without turning to Billy, Keysa replied, "I want to see Elnora, she must know the news about Audi."Billy immediately sighed. He did not expect that Keysa would meet Elnora this early. She could have called her directly without bothering to come there."You can call her directly, Keysa, instead of bothering to come to Elnora's apartment," Billy said as he walked towards the cupboard, took out clothes and started wearing them.Keysa, who heard it, turned her head briefly to Billy, sighing after getting a suggestion from her boyfriend."You know yourself how Elnora is, until now even she still hopes for Xavier. Audi's return to Xavier's life, of course, make
"Rest up, thank you for accompanying me to the village." Edward immediately opened the car door after arriving at Chika's house. The woman quickly got out of Edward's car, looking at Edward who seemed lethargic after the long journey."No need to thank me Edward. I should be the one thanking you for being my best friend."Edward could only smile wryly when once again Chika considered him as a friend. Even though it was clear that he loved that woman so much, but no matter how many times he tried to express his feelings, Chika still only saw him as nothing more than a friend."Until when will you only consider me as a friend, Chika?"Suddenly Chika rolled her eyes in annoyance. Indeed, Edward had said this to her repeatedly, but no matter how many times, she would keep saying the same thing."Please don't start again Edward. No matter what, you will always be my friend." She flashed a smile at Edward, hoping the man would understand her feelings. "Alright, be careful on your way home E
"Why did you say that, Edward? Anthony is your brother, but why did you let him get close in prison?"Chika immediately asked when they had left the police station. At this point, they had both gotten into the car, planning to go straight home instead of having to stay at a hotel in the village.Even though the journey would take quite a long time, Edward didn't seem tired of driving at all, as evidenced by the fact that the man decided to go home right away.Edward, who received the question from Chika, glanced briefly at the woman before turning his attention back to driving the car. He knew what he had done was a cruel thing, especially since Anthony was his own brother. It's just that Edward wanted to teach Anthony a lesson, so that the man could reflect on his mistakes. Moreover, Anthony had always acted arrogantly, as if everything could be resolved with just money and power."I know you think I'm a cruel man to my own brother. But I just want to give Anthony a deterrent effect,
"What's wrong, Edward?"Chika immediately approached after seeing Edward's expression change. She didn't understand what had happened to the man, so his expression now looked so shocked after receiving a phone call."Did something happen?" she asked again, curious.Edward immediately turned towards Chika, shook his head and said, "Okay, I'll go there right now."Chika frowned in confusion, really not knowing what had happened."Anthony was put in jail," Edward looked so frustrated when saying that, while Chika was so shocked to hear the information given by Edward."What? Are you serious?"Edward nodded then walked toward the upstairs command center to get the car keys there. "I'm going there now."Chika immediately got up from the bed and hurried to follow behind Edward. "I'm coming with you, Edward."Hearing Chika's words, Edward immediately stopped in his tracks, the man turned around while shaking his head. "No need, Chika, I can go alone. Besides, he's at a police station in a vi
"It's okay, young master, don't mind him. We can explore this house. Just leave him to Miss Sarana's men." Zeyn immediately approached Xavier and tried to stop what Xavier was about to do. Especially now that Xavier looked emotional, he was afraid that Xavier would lose his mind and finish off Anthony."We'll definitely be able to find her," Zeyn continued, pulling Xavier away from Anthony.Xavier released Zeyn's grip. "You take care of this wicked man, I'll find Audi."Xavier hurried away, going from room to room to find Audi.Zeyn could only sigh, then he turned towards Anthony who now looked miserable. The man was holding his bruised and battered face."This punishment is not enough, Mr. Anthony, you must be jailed." Zeyn approached, grabbing Anthony's arm quite roughly.What had happened to Anthony was the man's own doing. Zeyn felt that this was still not enough, especially considering how difficult it had been to come here, not to mention meeting a psychopath who was only seekin
Hearing Antoni's confession made Xavier shake his head. The man still couldn't believe what had happened, but he also couldn't get rid of the facts that were so clearly displayed in front of his eyes."Why, why did you do that Mr. Anthony? I don't think I have any problems with you." Xavier stared in disbelief at Anthony, of course he needed a clear explanation.Anthony sighed. The two of them had never had any problems before. Even the cooperation between the companies went so well. It's just that there is one thing that makes Antony do that, none other than because of Audi's humiliation which led to him kidnapping Audi and holding the woman.At first he just wanted to teach Audi a lesson because he had dared to insult her. But after that he gradually began to fall in love and did not want to lose the woman. That's why until now Anthony has not let Audi go, because indeed the man wants Audi and wants to have the woman. He even plans to marry her."I love Audi."Xavier frowned. Was he
