Darren suddenly braked the car he was driving. He glanced at Renata with a curious look."You mean?" Darren asked, not understanding.Darren also felt that he had never told Renata in detail about his parents, let alone the relationship between Martano and his parents. He didn't think that Renata would even know about it."You have nothing to hide from me. I already know who the people who killed your parents are; one of them is my father. And the problem with the company left by your parents is that it's under your father's company; that's because your father took over the company," Renata answered calmly.Darren sighed heavily while listening to what Renata said. He didn't expect Renata to know everything to that extent.Even Darren becomes wary of Renata because he doesn't want Renata to work for Martano and wants to destroy him like Martano destroyed his father."Ever since you said that the company left by your parents is under Papa's company, I have been suspicious. I'm sure the
"Don't fight your own parents; I don't want you to do that," Darren replied. He looked away and started driving his car again."But I'm serious; I can't allow that. Even though I know what happened and what I suspected was all true, right?" asked Renata probingly.Darren didn't answer. And Renata thinks that Darren's silence is affirmative, which means everything is true."Where have you been? Why are you only showing up now? And who exactly is Amina?" asked Renata, shooting Darren with questions.All of this happened because Renata got information on the internet saying that Darren had lost the trial. The court's decision withdraws all the assets left by his parents to pay off all his debts.And now, Renata is doubtful whether it is true that Darren's parents have debts or if that is just an excuse for his enemies. After all, they were all dead, so they couldn't provide defense and testimony."Amina is the owner of an orphanage who is willing to take care of me until I grow up with a
"You want to eat?" Renata asked Darren to change their conversation.Darren shook his head. He wasn't in the mood to eat or enjoy any other food; he just wanted to get an answer from Renata. What Darren is afraid of is that Renata will get funds from Martano, and that will tie Renata up."I am still full. I just want to hear your reasons. Just so you know, while you were away, there were two people who claimed to be your friends, and they said you had debts," Darren answered while explaining.Renata widened her eyes when she heard what Darren said. She didn't think that any of his friends would actually take advantage of that opportunity."Who?" asked Renata curiously."You don't need to know who; I must have taught him a lesson. Because I don't believe what they say," Darren replied.Darren didn't want to make Renata angry and upset. He knew Renata's tough character, and he was afraid that it would become a problem and that eventually everyone would know that Renata had returned."Do
"No!" Renata emphatically answered what Darren said. In fact, the discussion with Darren made Renata no longer in the mood to continue eating.Renata was very disturbed by this discussion because she could not give a precise reason why she refused Darren's request to come back."Give me a reason so that I understand," Darren asked Renata.Darren still couldn't accept the reason that Renata had kept it secret from him."I'm not ready yet," Renata replied, shifting her gaze and taking a sip of the water that was in front of her.For now, Renata will not answer anything Darren wants. Although she also really wants to fix everything, she will not let Darren be in danger.Also, Renata doesn't know what Darren will plan. Also, if she marries Darren, it will definitely make it easier for Martano to investigate who Darren really is. Renata didn't want that to happen because she was afraid that Martano would kill Darren."Alright, I'll wait until you're ready. And when you're ready, then let m
The longer, the more intense their oxygen exchange. Even Darren's hands were fondling Renata's body.Renata closed her eyes. She realized what they were doing was wrong. However, she also could not contain the desire that was surging within her.At this time, Darren's hand had unbuttoned the top button of Renata's shirt. They seem to forget that their current status is that of ex-husband and wife.Knock! Knock! Knock!When Darren's body was completely on top of Renata's body, suddenly there was a knock on the door, and both of them were shocked and frantic to finish their action."Mom, here's a package that just arrived." The knocking sound is accompanied by a woman's voice, which is definitely the voice of Gina, Renata's confidante."Come in, Gin," Renata answered after tidying up her messy clothes and hair.Check!The door opened, Gina's face was full of smiles, and she entered the room carrying shipping documents that Renata had to sign.Meanwhile, Darren pretended to be busy with
"Don't use Renata as your tool for revenge," Amina warned.Darren shrugged his shoulders in surprise because, from the start, Amina did not approve of Renata returning to Darren. But why now suddenly Amina is also not allowed if Darren takes advantage of Renata?"Why?" asked Darren, confused."From the start, I forbade you to be with her, because you will only cause problems if you are together. Your relationship will be more complicated," Amina replied later.Darren was silent. He would not answer because he knew what would happen later."You said that you love her, so don't use her as a tool for your revenge. And also, like you said, Renata has nothing to do with the behavior of her parents," Amina continued after a while.Darren nodded his head when he heard the reason from Amina. And he is proud of his mother, because even though he doesn't approve of Renata, he still doesn't want Darren to hurt her."Yes, ma'am, thank you for reminding Darren. Otherwise I might have made the wron
Darren looked at Daffa's face questioningly. He was surprised—how can a guest come earlier than the schedule to enter the office?"Okay, tell me to wait in the waiting room first. I'll let you know later," Darren said to customer service before hanging up the call."Okay sir."Darren returned the receiver to its place, and his eyes didn't move from Daffa."Is she normal or not? Why come to visit so early?" Darren asked softly while playing with the pen in his hand.Darren couldn't stop thinking about how there were women who wanted to meet him and were willing to come to his office several days in a row, and today came earlier than an employee's morning.There was a little bit of fear creeping into Darren's heart. Because he had never known someone named Hailey in his life, he was afraid that person would come as a spy from the enemy or come to harm him."But if that person dares to commit a crime, I think she is giving his own life to come to Davano's office," Darren continued.Darre
"Personal?" Darren asked in surprise because, so far, he had never had a problem or business with the woman in front of him.Hailey nodded. "Yeah, I just need to talk to you alone."After being silent for a while and exchanging glances with his secretary, Darren finally nodded his head towards Daffa."But...," Daffa said doubtfully."It's okay; I'll listen to what Mrs. Hailey has to say. And you please postpone this morning's meeting first," said Darren to Daffa.This morning there was a scheduled monthly production meeting that Darren usually attends regularly because he also has to know the production produced by their company."Previously, please ask Anya to deliver drinks for Mrs. Hailey." Darren ordered Daffa to ask the office girl in his office to serve drinks for his guests.Daffa nodded her head. He left Darren's room even though him heart was heavy. And he's also worried that Hailey has special intentions for Darren.However, Daffa also had no choice but to accept Darren's de
