"Mr. Bryant ...! Are you okay?"A woman approached Richard who was whimpering in pain. The woman frantically tried to see Richard's condition.Slowly the pain that seemed to burn his body began to fade, Richard tried to control his breathing to be calmer. His face still looked so pale then said, "I'm okay,"Not long after the doctor arrived, immediately checked Richard's condition."Do you feel any pain in your head?" asked the doctor."No."The doctor just nodded his head as if he already knew Richard's condition. "Well, you should rest. Your body is still in shock so it needs to adjust. If you feel dizzy, nauseous, or have any pain in your head, please call us immediately." said the Doctor."Is Mr. Bryant really okay, Doctor? Does he even know me?" asked Claire, looking very panicked."Possibly, sir. The Director is experiencing temporary memory loss. We'll still keep an eye on the Director's condition. There's nothing to worry about." he explained.Claire was finally able to breath
"Young lady..."While leisurely eating his lunch, a large mouthful that was about to enter his mouth suddenly had to be stopped at the sight of John who suddenly stood up, bending his body 45 degrees politely towards the entrance.Richard's mouth-which was still gaping in front of the spoonful of food he wanted to turn towards a woman who appeared beside him."Ah... it seems that you've gotten much better. My husband..."Instantly the spoon of food that Richard was holding fell onto the plate when he heard the woman's words that did not even seem to show any affection in her words.Richard gasped in confusion at the beautiful woman who claimed to be his wife. This gripping situation made him panic and he rushed to glance at John to help him."Oh... oh..." Richard was still stuttering because he didn't know what to say about the current situation."It's true that you lost your memory. How sad," said Hanabi while sitting on the bench next to Richard, stunned to hear that this haughty wo
Everyone's face tensed up when they heard the one-liner from Bryant's mouth. It was like a curse that made the hairs on the back of one's neck stand on end with Bryant's distinctive tone that could silence people."Wow... you guys are too much. I even shed a tear when I heard you were plotting treachery to bring me down..." Richard said in a cold and sharp tone like he was possessed by Bryant's spirit and looked like a cold-blooded man."Is it fun? Does doing this make you feel good?" Richard taunted - then laughed like crazy.Not a single person dared to look Richard in the eye, if they looked at their dreamer their life might be at stake."Why do you hate me? Is it because I can't win the cooperation project with the mayor? HA HA HA ... why are you so afraid if your stomach is not full? Hya! Don't worry... whether or not I'm here, I'll guarantee that you won't even be able to enjoy the fresh air outside," Richard scolded.As he walked off the podium, he pushed the IV pole connected
"Help me to sit...," "Okay." John immediately helped Richard to sit up leaning against the bed which automatically adjusted Richard's position. "By the way, what is my relationship with Hanabi like? She said we got married because of business cooperation. Is that true? We didn't marry for love?" Richard asked. "That's right, sir. I do not know for sure. But back then you told me that only Hanabi could marry you." "What?" Hearing that strange answer made Richard furrow his brow. What an absurd answer he had heard once again. # POV Bryant "Are you out of your mind?! Do you want to marry Hana
After finalizing the wedding arrangements, Hanabi arrived in front of Bryant's mansion. The magnificent neoclassical-style mansion was about 25,000 square feet in size. There were green gardens and a 75-foot-long swimming pool. Everything is set against a backdrop of panoramic views of downtown Los Angeles and the Pacific Ocean.The house was twice the size of her father's. When she saw it, Hanabi began to understand why Bryant's attitude was so haughty and many of the mafia groups were reluctant to Laputa's group."Servants...!"It was a call that could have sent several house servants rushing to
Hanabi had just woken up, holding her head which was aching from the effects of drinking too much wine. Sometimes she always emphasized to herself to stop drinking immediately. Still, when she was under pressure, her lust unconsciously led her to drink again even though in the end she regretted her own actions.Suddenly the door to the room opened. Katy's maid entered with a doctor, leaving Hanabi confused."Morning. Ms. Hanabi. You're awake,""Morning. What's wrong?" asked Hanabi still unaware of her wound."Mr. Bryant called Doctor Smith to treat your injured foot.""Foot?"Hanabi was confused and immediately checked her leg. True to Katy's words, Hanabi immediately realized the pain caused by the deep wound on her leg."Ah... that's right I'm hurt..."Doctor Smith immediately rushed to Hanabi to treat her wound. But on the other hand, Hanabi was also confused by the current situation that did not align with her fight with Bryant.Why would Bryant suddenly be concerned and worried a
"Don't run away!" The sound of one of the men shouting from a group of men who looked like thugs then made Richard Branson try to run as fast as he could to escape from loan sharks who came to collect his debts. Today seems to be a bad day for Richard. After the salary of his construction workers was taken by Red Wings loan sharks, he is now being pursued by Money Black loan sharks. Two groups of loan sharks borrowed money about two years ago for 10,000 dollars for their son's medical expenses and his mistake for gambling. Richard ran through the narrow alleys behind the market, with a battered face, trying to keep running before they killed him. The thugs who chased him were 10 plus 5 from the Red Wing. If he can't get away today then there will be no tomorrow for him to breathe. The payment was due about two months ago with an interest rate of 15300 dollars. A huge amount for Richard to pay with his income that's only 500 to 700 dollars. The dark knight made it difficult for
Richard decided to take shelter in front of a Japanese grocery store on the side of the road where there were many shops along the slightly uphill road. Unlike previous places that were so dark and smelly, this place had some people pass by wearing umbrellas and also four-wheeled vehicles that passed through it several times. It's the first time for Richard to be in the neighborhood, looking so foreign. A lot of shops seem obsolete and empty. Only a few shops are still open along the narrow road that only one car can pass. "Why is it so cold?" Richard murmured while cleaning his jacket that was hit by raindrops. The smell of fish broth—mixed with the strong scent of rainwater—was felt by Richard. The scent that makes his empty stomach ring, comes from inside a Japanese ramen restaurant right behind him. Richard turned his body—looking through the window—appears white smoke appeared rising from a pan. A middle-aged man who seems to be cooking something inside. Richard's eyes are tr
