With a still-trying-to-be-controlled emotion, Victor told whoever knocked on his room door to come in."Excuse me, sir!"That brief and cold sentence instantly diverted Victor's attention. The person who was disturbing his thoughts appeared right in front of him.As if the man intentionally wanted to make Victor even more annoyed."Xavier! It's an honor for me to meet you on this bright morning. You're the only staff whose arrival I always eagerly await."Victor straightened up, opening his arms wide as a sign of respectful welcome.A faint grin began to form at the corner of Xavier's lips. Ready to face the man whose mood seemed recently disturbed."There are some documents you need to check, sir. Please."Xavier handed several documents to him.However, Victor seemed uninterested. It was as if he deliberately ignored what Xavier had just conveyed."Wow! Amazing. I can see now that your work continues to impress me. Rarely do I ask you to revise your work. Why? Because all the docume
Are we really going to be here?" Audi blinked rapidly, trying to convince herself that what she was seeing wasn't a dream."You're responsible for what you've said." Without a hint of sympathy, Xavier spoke coldly without turning towards her.It's unclear how Audi's expression appeared to the man, but it seemed quite pitiable."Of course. The club is not a nightmare for me!" Audi confidently asserted, though doubt lingered in her heart.As much as possible, she concealed all those feelings from the man. She didn't want Xavier to consider returning her to Zeyn. Nevertheless, Audi had to stick to her stance to understand the man's situation."Remember my words well. You're responsible for yourself. So, don't make me trouble because of your actions."Before getting out, Xavier seemed to issue a threat to the woman.Certainly, Audi nodded confidently. "I will remember everything you instructed."Both of them then exited the luxurious car. Intentionally, Xavier chose a parking spot quite f
Xavier cursed his foolishness. He should have minimized all these tragedies before everything turned chaotic like it is now. Unfortunately, he fell into the trap set by his enemy.Xavier tried to stay conscious. For a moment, he stared at the man he had been too confident in. The logo he saw turned out to be a fake one attached to the man's suit.Xavier truly regretted all the foolishness he had committed. "Audi. Where are you, Audi?!"Just as Xavier turned his head, the woman who had always been by his side disappeared from his sight. He tried to remain alert despite the growing dizziness.Nearly 5 bottles of wine were about to be consumed by Xavier. Fortunately, he didn't consider wine a taboo in his life, easily handling it."Do you admit defeat?" The challenging figure confronted Xavier, noticing his lack of ambition in upholding his wine.Prepared to finish the challenge, Xavier swiftly jumped onto the table, ran, and delivered a raw blow to the man's face.Bugh! Bugh! The man fe
"Thank you very much!"Right when Audi was successfully lifted by Xavier, the woman, unable to control herself, immediately hugged him tightly. Audi's unparalleled joy couldn't be expressed in words.Meanwhile, Xavier, for some reason, remained silent as if unsure of what to do.After a long struggle in his marriage with Elnora and transitioning to widower status, Xavier could now feel the warmth of a woman's sincere embrace for the first time. His heart was beating irregularly."What is this feeling?" Xavier murmured in his heart, sensing that something was amiss with him.Ultimately, he could only feel this way when he had been married to Elnora for a few months."I don't know what my fate would be if you hadn't come. You are the hero who saved my life!" Audi sincerely expressed her gratitude to him."I owe you a lot. I promise to repay all the favors you've given me someday. Just remember that," Audi continued.Tears accompanied Audi's words. Uncomfortable, Xavier immediately avert
Victor slammed his phone.Now, all the meticulously laid plans instantly crumble. The report from his subordinate leader suggests they were eliminated by Xavier.Some bodyguards arrived and ruthlessly beat them. Victor clenched his fists. Unfortunately, all the CCTV in the club went dark.Despite Victor having control over all the club's staff, things went south. He had spent a considerable amount of money on the plan, even compensating the club staff for the chaos."Darn it! Instead of victory, I find myself trapped in my own scheme!"Victor looked visibly frustrated, his expression reflecting uncontrollable emotions. He decided to sit on the long sofa in his apartment's living room.Feeling defeated, he suddenly recalled a conversation with his sister earlier that day."Nick? Yes! I still have a chance."A glimmer of hope brought a smile to his face. He hurriedly searched for his sister's contact, trying to reach her.However, a nearly completed video download brought an even broade
Xavier parked his bike as usual. There seemed to be no hesitation on his face. He was ready to face the man who had bad intentions towards him with that crazy plan last night. The man walked dashingly. Just like always. "Audi's license. She will be resting for some time." The woman at the reception desk blinked her eyes trying to convince herself that she had not heard wrong. For the first time, the man raised his voice in front of her. "I thought he couldn't speak. As it turns out, it's beyond prediction. His voice is so alluring." Glek! With difficulty, the woman swallowed her saliva. The flowers in her garden instantly bloomed and burst into fragrance.Xavier didn't seem to care. He knew that she would definitely act like that when she encountered the man's different attitude. Just as Xavier was putting down his briefcase, a voice suddenly greeted him. "You are requested to go to the room, Mr. Victor." Xavier didn't seem to care about letting the man who was in a positio
Xavier returned home with a mood unlike his usual self. This time, he felt a tremendous victory. Seeing Victor's fearful, confused, and frustrated expressions simultaneously made him unable to restrain himself any longer."I'm leaving!"Xavier, who had just received a respectful greeting and an open door, quickly averted his gaze.The familiar voice in his ears prompted Xavier to hurriedly enter his mansion."Listen, Miss Audi. You can't leave without the Young Master's knowledge. You're under his protection. You can't make decisions on your own like that."Zeyn tried to explain, but it went unheard."Whether you agree or not, I'm leaving!"The woman insisted.Clearly, emotions were dominating her at the moment.Ahem!A cough from a not-too-distant distance interrupted the debate, causing both of them to shift their gaze."See? He's here. You don't need to worry about his opinion anymore."From the corner of his eye, Xavier could be seen trying to explain to Zeyn what had actually hap
49Xavier appeared standing on his bedroom balcony, gazing straight ahead. His mind suddenly fixated on every word spoken by Audi the night before.Today is Sunday. It's been almost 2 weeks since Xavier has been living undercover.Despite it being time to enjoy the day off, he still can't make his mind feel it.Various questions about the meaning of Audi's actions and words linger in his mind, preventing him from shifting his thoughts.In his heart, Xavier continues to ask what really happened back then.He also feels that the woman is not a stranger to his eyes. However, he completely doesn't understand why his mind can't remember all of it if everything is true.Pats!Xavier turns around to find his father successfully opening the door.Besides himself, only the middle-aged man has access to his room."Good morning, my son! I missed you so much!"Xavier rolls his eyes as a meaningful smile crosses the middle-aged man's face."Truly extraordinary, my child. You're amazing. I've heard
"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
