It wasn't until she gave her heart and soul to Sean that Alice worried about her relationship with Lion.However, Alice tries to stay strong and believes that one day, Lion will understand her feelings.But it's not.The lion was less kind and generous than Alice had imagined.Lion loves and can give everything to Rose. But not if you give up Rose for someone else.And this is how it ends. Rose's fears proved accurate.In an instant, the company, her beloved husband, had built was destroyed by a single command from Lion."Lion, should I give up on my love? You're punishing me too much like this," Rose muttered in solitude.Rose sat on the beach that stretched wide before her, leaving her feet and body wet and licked by the approaching waves.But Rose was shocked when her body rose suddenly."That's not how to persuade me not to get angry. You're still sick, why is it so hard to obey and rest?" said Lion softly to her.Rose's tears fell so fast. She felt the helplessness of a woman aga
Without a word, Sean immediately hugged Alice so tightly. Sean cried in Alice's arms and poured out all the longing and burden he felt as if his beloved wife's embrace was the most comfortable place to lean on.Alice stayed silent and cried even though Sean's tight hug hurt her back. Alice ignored the surgical sutures that had not dried, even if the stitches were opened again; she did not care because what she wanted and longed for had already been obtained. Yes… it was a warm hug from Sean."Why did you go? Why did you disappear? Why are you always like this? I almost went crazy looking for you, Alice. I almost died of fright from losing you, honey. I really miss you. Don't ever go again, I beg you…" Sean said while crying.Alice couldn't answer anything. Only sobs continued to be heard as she remembered that she would soon leave Sean and everything here.Her mind recalled the Lion who was also around here. She could have come back and found her cuddling with Sean. Alice was sure th
"What are you saying, Alice? Say goodbye? Where are you going? I won't let you go again!" said Sean, who couldn't accept everything."I will leave this country. Leave everything and go back to where my adoptive father is," Alice replied with a downcast face."And you're going to leave me? How about me and Shine? No, no kidding, honey! This isn't funny at all!" rejected Sean outright."You guys are just a nuisance to my Rose's life. Understand and let her go carefree!" The lion immediately cut off Sean's words."No! You are not a nuisance to my life. You are the most beautiful gift God has given me. Love, friendship, and family. You gave me it all, Sean. With you, I become a perfect woman. I became a beloved woman, became a wife and mother of Shine!""These past few months, I have felt happy in ways I had never imagined in my life before. You are not a bully; you are a great man who turned my black world into color. Thank you, Sean…" Alice said long while crying, looking at Sean."What
Sean was still silent as if what he had just heard was a dream. Alice had left him. And it still feels fake."Bro, where is Alice?" asked Troy, who came in after the voice in the room where the three were silent. And when he went inside, there was only his silent brother."Alice?" said Sean, confused in response to his brother's question."Yes, where is Alice now?" Troy asked again, and this time, Sean came to his senses."Alice..." said Sean as he ran after Alice, who was seen entering her car.Sean arrived in a little while, but their car was going so fast that Sean fell to the ground while chasing her."Alice. Alice. Come back. Do not go!" cried Sean desperately.Sean repeatedly called Alice's name while wailing sadly.Alice saw Sean's shadow, who continued to move away from the car, and they also cried."Don't cry for him, I don't like it. I never saw you cry, Rose. No matter how hard your hardships are, you are my strong Rose." said Lion, calming Rose beside her.Rose had calmed
"Alice, I knew you would come back. I know you won't have the heart to leave me. Thank you, Alice." Sean said while crying in the arms of the woman who looked like Alice.Sean, whose mind was still influenced by liquor, couldn't think observantly to recognize the woman in front of him. He only knew the woman in his arms was his wife, who had just returned.Sean greedily kissed her lips as if his longing for Alice could no longer be contained. Sean didn't care even though they were still at the door.Without letting go of the lips, the woman with a face almost similar to Alice tried to direct Sean's body to enter Alice's apartment room until the door was tightly closed."Perfect." Lion squeaked in satisfaction when he saw the video showing the scene of Sean and the Alice-like woman from his laptop."Sorry, Rose… if I don't do this, then you also won't let that bastard man out of your heart," Lion muttered while holding the flash that Sean had given to Alice at that time.While Lion plo
While Alice was suffering with her broken heart and trust in the man she loved so much, Sean himself was lying unconscious in the family hospital.Sean's head was wrapped in bandages after receiving several stitches from a serious head wound. It turned out that Lion's hired woman had been caught deceiving Sean who recognised his wife very well, albeit in a semi-conscious state. The woman struck Sean on the head with a drink bottle that littered the floor.Troy found and took his brother to the hospital after finding Sean lying with a bleeding head in Alice's apartment."Bro, what kind of chaotic situation are we in? I won't stand it if you keep destroying yourself like this. Wake up and be strong like you used to be, Shine and I really need you." Troy said softly while holding Sean's hand which was still closed."Daddy?" called Shine who was at the door while holding his grandfather's hand."Come here, sweetheart," called Troy to Shine who then approached and sat on his lap."Shine, w
"I'm the cheap human here, Rose. I had to get you like this the dirty way because I know it's impossible to get you the fairway." Lion said with an excited breath."Wake up, Lion. You're not a man like that. You're a man of honor. Stop it." Rose continued to resist and fought Lion with all her might."Don't fight, Rose. Your body will get sicker, and you'll die from fighting the medicine," said Lion warning Rose to obey him."Then I'd rather die," replied Rose firmly."How despicable am I that you reject me like this and would rather die?!" Lion snapped at Rose, his heart aching from receiving such humiliation, "No. You must stay alive. I will not allow you to die and leave me,”“It's useless for you to resist, Rose. The only way to save you from the effects of my drugs is to fuck you. Get ready, I don't want to lose you." said a stern Lion who could not wait any longer.It was Lion who really knew how dangerous the drug Rose had taken was. Because he concocted the drug for Rose. A
Sean reached for his mobile phone on the small cupboard next to his bed.[Your gift has been seen by Rose. Thank you for making my Rose cry again. But it doesn't matter, because Rose is at peace with me. You want to see her, don't you? Think of these photos as your parting gift from me!]Lion sent some pictures of himself hugging Rose who was peacefully sleeping. There was also a photo of Lion kissing Rose passionately on the forehead.Imagine how devastated Sean was when he received and saw the photos of his wife's intimacy with another man.'Alice, why are you being so mean to me? Is it because you want to be with that jerk that you're making excuses that this is all for my own good? You're too much!' Sean said angrily to himself.He recalled Alice's reasons for leaving him for the good of all parties. But, what he had just seen was the opposite. His wife was so intimate with another man.Did it hurt? Of course, it hurt a lot. The pain in his body was nothing compared to the inner p
"How can a head blow be considered a form of affection? Luckily my head is strong. So, no matter how much you hit me, I won't be stupid," Lion replied with a weak laugh. "Come on, Lion. You should just rest. After you wake up later, you can continue your silliness again," Sky said calmly to Lion. "Yeah, you're right, Bro. I was really tired and sleepy. But, I'm afraid when I sleep, I won't see you guys again later. Let my eyes stay awake like this to see my family's face, Bro..." answered Lion. Everyone touched his heart after hearing each of Lion's weak words with sadness. The daddy, Sky, Lily, and Rose continued to respond to every word Lion said until it was clear in their eyes, the look on Lion's face that was already very pale with his breathing slowly blowing. "Where's my Sunny? Let me hug him," Lion asked again. Sean walked Sunny closer to Lion. Little Sunny immediately hugged Lion's limp body with non-stop sobs. "Sunny, do you remember my message that time, son?" asked
"I didn't think my steps would stop like this. Looks weak in front of you. Makes Daddy and all my brothers sad. Makes Rose and Sunny cry. I'm useless," continued Lion, sadly."No one knows how God plays out His will. And I don't think I need to advise you on destiny. Our fates have been this complicated for a long time," Sean retorted."You're right. If I had known a day like this would come, I might have been more greedy to snatch Rose from you. Make her love me, and get you out of her mind!" said Lion, laughing weakly."Unfortunately Alice was created by God just for me, Lion. Don't dream!" Sean joked replying to Lion's arrogance, "But, so far I'm aware. There's nothing I can force from her. Her heart and decisions are indeed her. As of now, even though she loves me, her love for you is so great. Even Alice is willing to leave me cunningly. Are you satisfied, huh?" he continued."Feel it! I told you, Rose would choose me!" replied Lion proudly. They both laughed at each other's sadn
Everyone's busy life immediately stopped and all attention turned to Lion's deteriorating condition. The situation was quiet even though dozens of people gathered around Rose's house area.Everyone's feelings were shrouded in sadness. Not only Mr. Jack and his children. All of Lion's men had gathered waiting for the good news from their leader, but what they also knew, was it was impossible to expect Lion's recovery at this time.In Lion's room, Mr. Jack and his three children along with Sunny were still crying, calling their daddy's name.They watched some of Lion's men inspect and care for Lion in silence and sadness.With his weak eyes closed, Lion still faintly listened to Sunny's cry for him."Sunny," Lion called weakly.The little one who listened to his father's call immediately slid down from Sky's arms towards Lion's bed."Dad, what happened to you? Was it so painful that you could faint? Tell me, which part hurts? I'll treat you, Dad!" Sunny whined at Lion who was smiling we
Riverside, California…The Black Dragon family arrived at Rose's private residence. Instead of wanting to go back to his own home or base, Lion chose to go back to Rose and Sunny's house.And Lion's current state was weak and immediately lay down on the bed in the room Lion usually occupied when he was there."Rest and sleep your body first, Lion. You're tired. Don't force yourself to keep playing with Sunny. We still have many days to spend together!" Rose advised Lion not to push himself again."I told you, Rose. Don't treat me like a sick person. I want our life to go on as usual, even though it's not like that. Don't remind me that I'm going to die, Rose. That's sad," answered Lion sadly."I don't want your death either. Neither of us wants you to leave. Don't be silly, Lion. Your body can't keep up with you. Get some more rest, and once you're refreshed, you can continue playing with Sunny. He's not going anywhere. We will all stay here with you!"Rose finished advising Lion whic
"Everything will be fine, Rose. Trust your decision. I know you are a strong woman!" said Mr. Jack encouragingly. Rose nodded and smirked."Mommy, why is Daddy sick? It must be because you hit Daddy too hard, right?" Sunny asked her what was on his mind."Not because of your Mommy, Sunny. Daddy Lion did have to rest for a while. You know best, how crazy is Lion in his research, right?" Lily came from behind and explained to Sunny."I don't believe what you say, Uncle Lily. You and Mommy are the same. Always makes my dad sick while playing. Can't you guys just stop practicing war games like that? It's not fun at all!" the smart Sunny complained."You are indeed Lion's son. Even your attitude and nature are the same as your daddy! I stopped talking to you. I will not win against your words!" Lily sneered at Sunny with a funny face."Violence is not a good thing, Uncle. Pain and bleeding. I do not like it! Winning through mind games and tactics is more exciting. That's the real game!" Su
Sean smiled cutely. He got off the sofa and was now kneeling in front of Alice."I don't know how stupid I was for ignoring your feelings. Sorry, because I don't understand at all what your current wish is. I guess all this weirdness of yours is yet another trick to leave me after you disappeared again for half a day!" said Sean."You idiot! Why would I trick you again? Can't you see I was so scared all night because I saw you die for such a stupid reason? I don't want to see you like that again, Sean!" Alice scolded him."Thank God I thought wrong. I'm too scared to lose you again, Alice! Don't ever leave me again!" Sean said happily as he rested his head on Alice's lap.'Sorry? I'm the one apologizing, Sean. Because I tricked you again this time!' she said quietly in her heart."Then where have you been all afternoon? When I was confused when you disappeared suddenly. Of course, I panicked. I thought you were going with that jerk again!" Sean said honestly telling his panic."Thunde
'Sean, can we meet and talk? Come to where I show you!'That's the content of the short message that Alice sent to Sean."What are you going to do again this time, Alice? I won't let you do anything stupid again!" Sean muttered as he rushed out of the hospital.The whole way Sean kept muttering. He was very worried about Alice's decision that would change again and might leave him.It was getting dark when Sean's car pulled up in front of the lobby of the Garendra Conventions Hall. One of the five-star hotels is a hotel owned by the Garendra family.Sean again confirmed the address Alice had sent on his cell phone. Sean was very surprised at what Alice would do now.'Why did Alice tell me to come here? After leaving suddenly, and now want to meet at this place,' said Sean in his heart.Sean headed straight for the room Alice directed. And when Sean was right in front of the designated room, the door suddenly opened with the figure of Alice welcoming him.Sean's eyes didn't even blink
"Since when did you experience this, Lion? Tell us!" Lily told Lion to explain to all of them. The meeting of the 5 mafias was heavy with the silence of each person there. "It's been three months since I had this disease. I got this disease when I finished researching animal deaths near my laboratory. Many animals died mysteriously. And I was suspicious of the artificial lake water around there," "And my guess is right. This type of amoeba is the cause of the death of these animals. When I did intense research, I was exposed to," "As much as possible I made an antidote to destroy this type of amoeba in the lake and finally I succeeded," "I knew I was going to die, just like those animals. But I kept trying to stick with the potions I made until I lasted long enough." "Then, I tried it into the lake and the results were satisfactory. The animals survived and no longer died without cause. But I," "This is my bet with God. I also don't understand why I haven't died yet. But, as mu
"Dad, the spy Ramos Eagle Murphy who was caught yesterday, has opened his voice and admitted that Ramos is traveling to peaceful countries to create a new army." Sky reports regarding Ramos. Ramos is the leader of the raid on the Black Dragon headquarters years ago who is still being searched. Ramos is known to have run away with his adopted brother, Damian. They are the founders of the second-generation Eagle Murphy mafia group. The Eagle Murphy mafia group left only the two of them after all the leaders of their branch groups were exterminated to their roots along with other rebellious mafia groups. "I suspect, they will visit this country too, Dad!" Lily also expressed his thoughts. "I didn't think that the two of them were thinking of coming to this country. Damn! I won't let those bastards spread the seeds of evil in this country!" Ramos and Damian may look to the peaceful country of Indonesia to develop their criminal group again. After all, if they started to enter throug
