The tip of the knife was pressing against Elena's skin and Elena was ready to press it to draw blood. But a second before she did, suddenly Elena's cell phone which was on the kitchen counter rang.Elena wanted to ignore the call, but the screen showed her mother's name, Megan Clark.Elena closed her eyes. If she felt a great loss when Brian left, of course her mother felt an even greater loss. Moreover, Brian is the favorite child in the family. Compared to Harry, who was always causing trouble, or Elena, who was rarely at home because she went to a girls' boarding school, Brian was the most obedient and most accomplished child from childhood to adulthood.Elena couldn't imagine how her mother would feel now if she knew that her youngest daughter also wanted to join her older brother in heaven.Elena put the sharp knife in her hand on the counter, choosing to answer the call from her mother.Loud cries immediately hit Elena's eardrums. Her mother always acted overbearing, but this ti

Today, according to her promise to her mother, Elena will return to the Clark family home. Elena only packed a few things because she was determined not to stay in the house too long.She will make sure her mother's condition is fine, then after finding the right time, Elena will leave.Elena pulled a small suitcase then left in her private car.It took four hours to travel from Elena's apartment to the Clark family's house, a quite long journey but Elena didn't mind.Elena actually wished the road she was taking was longer so it would take longer to arrive.Four hours later….Elena had tried to drive as slowly as possible, but in reality she was only a few kilometers away from her house.Elena's hands felt damp with sweat and she had to wipe it repeatedly on her skirt. Even though Elena had turned on the AC, her hands were still wet. Elena realized that this was no longer a problem with air, but because of the nervousness she felt that made her hands constantly wet.TING!There was a

“Oh, Elena," said Megan when she saw her daughter. Megan immediately rushed over and hugged her daughter. Elena also hugged her mother back."Elena, Brian...," said Megan, and the middle-aged woman immediately cried loudly.Elena tried to comfort her mother by rubbing her back. "I'm sure Brian is at peace in heaven, mom," said Elena.But instead of being comforted by her daughter's words, Megan jerked her body until their embrace broke apart, then said in an angry tone, "No, Elena, your brother is not yet at peace in heaven. Until we can clear his name, he will never rest. This is all because of that bastard Reid. He's the one who caused your brother's death.""Reid?" Elena asked in an incomprehensible tone. In fact, what Elena heard was that her brother died because he was shot by the police. Elena didn't know who Reid was until he was involved in the case of her brother's death."Oh, that's right, you haven't read newspapers or watched television for a long time because you don't wa

Morning at the Arison companyThe CEO was seen standing in front of a glass wall that filled one part of the room. His gaze wandered far away towards the cars that were endlessly passing by on the highway there.“Reid.”Reid flinched then turned towards the voice calling his name. It turns out that person is Amanda Waverly."I've been calling your name for a while but you didn't answer at all," said Amanda, frowning."What's wrong, Amanda?" Reid asked, ignoring Amanda's question. He chose to move towards his work chair then opened the files that had been piling up on his desk since yesterday.Seeing Reid ignoring her, Amanda asked, "Are you still thinking about Brian?"Reid's hand, which was originally opening the files, stopped.Amanda, who realized this, sighed. “Reid, you know it's not your fault, right?”On the night of the incident, Amanda was shocked when she was told that Brian had died because he was shot by the police. Amanda did not expect that the two Clark brothers were ev

Two hours later, the event was over. Reid and Amanda left to go home. But when they got to the side of the car they were going to ride in, Amanda suddenly said, "Reid, there's something I want to talk to you about."“It's too late to discuss the project plan you proposed earlier. How about we go to the office tomorrow?" Reid replied. The man walked to the passenger door and opened it for Amanda. Even though he is Amanda's boss, he still acts like a gentleman.“It's not about the project. Besides, it's still in the form of a rough idea, I haven't copied it into report form yet," replied Amanda. She remained standing outside, not getting into the car even though Reid had already opened the door for her."Then what problem do you want to talk about?" Reid asked, furrowing his eyebrows.Instead of answering, Amanda stuttered. Her face even turned red, even though Reid was sure Amanda didn't drink any wine at all."N-nothing important," Amanda stammered."Then how about we talk about it to

Amanda screamed as one of Reid's bodyguards was shot straight in the chest. The bodyguard immediately collapsed as blood flowed freely from his shirt."Take cover in the car," said Reid, grabbing Amanda's arm and then pushing the woman into his car.Amanda widened her eyes when she saw Reid, instead of taking cover in the car, but instead turning around to leave. Amanda hurriedly held Reid's arm."Where are you going?" Amanda asked frantically.“I have to fight them,” Reid said.“Reid, don't. Let your guards do that. Don't risk your life," said Amanda.But Reid shook his head.Reid removed Amanda's hand from his arm, he bent down and put his arm around her shoulder. With sharp eyes, Reid looked at Amanda."Stay hidden here, don't come out," said Reid in a demanding tone.At the same time, another gunshot was heard.Reid clenched his jaw. "But if the situation starts to get out of control, you must leave this place immediately." Reid handed his car keys into Amanda's hands. After that,

Amanda's body trembled even more when their figures appeared from behind the attackers' car. Apparently they decided to come out of their hiding place.With only Reid left holding a weapon, what else do they have to fear?The number of enemies, which was originally 15 people, decreased a lot until there were only 6 people left. It had already been reduced by half due to resistance from Reid and his guards. Even so, their number is certainly still large compared to Reid and Amanda, who are alone.“Boss said that we must not allow your death to happen quickly. You have to feel extreme pain," said one of the criminals.Reid snorted. "Then, is your boss Raynold Clark?""You do not need to know!" snapped the villain. He raised his gun and pointed it at Reid. Likewise with his four colleagues.Five gun muzzles were aimed at Reid, while the remaining one was aimed at Amanda's head.Even so, Reid didn't seem afraid at all. Or even though he feels afraid, he covers it up well."Whatever. But t

Reid widened his eyes when he saw Amanda's body fall to the ground.“Amanda!” he exclaimed. Reid immediately ran towards the woman. He turned her over and placed her on his lap. Reid's hands were suddenly wet with blood seeping from Amanda's back. The red color on her silver dress looked very striking.“Reid, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have brought you to this place," Amanda said haltingly.Reid ignored Amanda's words and chose to take off his jacket, draping the cloth around Amanda's back, hoping to stop the flow of blood there."It's useless, Reid, I know I won't survive," Amanda said again with difficulty.“Stop talking nonsense. You will be safe. You're the strongest woman I've ever known, so don't give up now," said Reid in a scolding tone at Amanda.Amanda smiled weakly. “You know I never talk nonsense. I know I can't survive tonight.”Reid shook his head. “Hang in there. Soon reinforcements will come. I'll take you to see the best doctor," Reid said like a promise. His hand held Am

As Charles Brown said to Anastasia Waverly, the reason Reid Arison didn't come to the office even though he had an important meeting was because he was taking care of his sick wife.After several days of being treated in hospital, the doctor allowed Elena to go home. Apart from experiencing a miscarriage, Elena suffered an injury to her left arm. Luckily her arm didn't break any bones, so her arm didn't need to be put in a cast.Even so, the doctor said that Elena's movements over the next two weeks will definitely be limited, so as much as possible someone should help Elena in carrying out daily activities that require movement of the left arm.Reid, who heard the doctor's words, immediately agreed. "There are many servants in our house who will definitely help her," said Reid.The doctor nodded, not doubting the number of servants in the arison residence which must be countless.Arriving at Arison's residence, Reid immediately gave instructions to several female servants to serve El

Charles Brown leaned back towards Anastasia Waverly, making the woman take a step back because she felt uncomfortable with their close proximity."You are wrong. You don't know who Mr. Arison really is, so everything you say is just your shallowly knowledge about Mr. Arison," said Charles in a sarcastic voice.For the first time, Charles openly shows that he hates Anastasia Waverly.Anastasia Waverly, who is used to receiving praise, certainly does not accept being called shallowly knowledgeable. She replied, “Then what is a real Reid Arison? Is he a person of great and noble character?” Anastasia Waverly again uses a dismissive tone.Charles Brown clenched his jaw. "There's no point in me telling you. From the start you've hated Mr. Arison, so whatever I say about Mr. Arison, you won't believe it," said Charles, then he straightened his body and got up to leave."Wait!" Anastasia Waverly exclaimed while chasing Charles Brown. Because she was in a hurry, Anastasia Waverly didn't pay a

Megan widened her eyes at her daughter's words. Cold sweat started to trickle down her temples.“W-what did you say? I conspired with Harry to harm you? Gosh, Elena, I'm your real mother, how could I do something like that! Just because now you are the wife of a rich Arison, you can be as impudent as you want to be with your mother!" Megan shouted angrily.But instead of feeling guilty about being scolded like that by her mother, Elena just chuckled softly. “Mom, after years of being your child, I know how you lie. You always cover it up by getting angry and shouting louder—like now.”Megan widened her eyes. Her hands were clenched in anger. Why did the situation turn out like this? Where's Elena, her daughter who is usually very easily influenced? Why is Elena suddenly so defiant like this? Ah, damn it, why didn't everything go according to her plans with Harry?Annoyed by feeling cornered, Megan again raised her hand to hit Elena, but this time, even without Reid's help, Elena herse

When Elena woke up, memories immediately flooded her.She remembered what happened before everything went dark. A car speeding behind her, a loud crash that shook her, and darkness that dragged her along.All these memories made Elena's body jolt and open her eyes.Elena was immediately greeted by pain all over her body. Elena wasn't even sure whether she could move her arm, whether it was because she was weak and didn't have the strength or something else, Elena wasn't sure. But one thing she was sure of, she felt her stomach was empty.“What happened to my baby?” Elena asked directly. She saw Reid's figure sitting in a chair next to her bed.Reid didn't respond with words. The man just shook his head slightly with an expression full of sorrow.Without needing to explain further, Elena already understood what he meant. Their baby did not survive.Elena immediately closed her eyes. Tears fell down her cheeks. Sobs escaped her lips, until then her body shook from the flood of thunderou

Hearing Harry's words made Megan smile. She also wants Reid destroyed. But one thought disturbed her."But don't you think that the child Elena is carrying could be our access to Arison's wealth? In other words, Elena is now pregnant with the future heir to the Arison family. Wouldn't it be more profitable for us to let the baby live?" said Megan. She is fed up with living “simplely” since her husband's death. She wants to return to life filled with wealth, even with much more wealth than before. And Megan thinks one of the quickest ways to get rich is to control Arison's property.But Harry just snorted.“You don't need to think about Arison's assets anymore, mom. I already know how to get a lot of money without any effort," said Harry with a meaningful smile.Megan widened her eyes with interest. "Really?""Of course," said Harry with a smug smile. “Now my only goal is to take revenge on Reid. I will make him suffer for the death of Brian and father," said Harry in a determined ton

Elena paced back and forth in front of Reid's study door, still considering whether she should come in or not.She had intended to apologize to Reid, but after hearing Charles' conversation in the kitchen, Elena felt even more guilty towards Reid. And that made her not dare to go in to meet the man, even though she had to go in, right?“Charles, what are you hanging around there for? Come in!" Reid's voice shouted from inside the room, making Elena jump in surprise.Reid must have seen the shadow of her feet on the door and thought she was his personal assistant.Because her whereabouts were already known—even though it was false—it made Elena feel like she had no choice to back out. Elena opened the door to Reid's study slowly.Reid seemed to be leaning back in his work chair with his eyes closed. Elena was sure Reid wasn't asleep yet because the man had just spoken."Get the files on the table," Reid ordered, still closing his eyes.Elena blinked. So Reid still thinks she is Charles

The next morningA head chef was seen serving special food to a long table in the dining room. There were so many kinds of dishes on the table that people who saw it would definitely think that there was a grand banquet in this house. Unfortunately no.Only one person will eat at the dining table, namely the head of the house, Reid Arison.Yes, this is the Arison residence. And the head chef on duty was none other than Belinda Caleste, the maid who was once Reid's spy who was stationed at Clark's residence.After being fired from the Clark residence by Elena, of course Belinda returned to the Arison residence, where she originally worked. In that place, Belinda's position was head chef.“The food is delicious, as usual. Thank you, Belinda," said Reid, who had just eaten the food Belinda made.Belinda smiled. Then the fertile woman said, “Should I call Mrs. Elena is here? I'm sure this food will taste better if eaten together.” Belinda felt sad about the various kinds of food that she

The news about Reid dropping the charges against Harry Clark also reached the ears of the Waverly family. John Waverly and his daughter, Anastasia Waverly, became furious when they heard this. Moreover, they knew that the murder planned by Brian and Harry was not only to harm Reid but also Amanda - even though at that time the plan failed because Amanda had hired people to pretend to be her and Reid. That automatically makes Harry an enemy of the Waverly family too.John and Anastasia could immediately guess why Reid wanted to free Harry, it must be because Reid had just married Elena, Raynold Clark's youngest daughter. Automatically Reid is now also part of the Clark family.“Dad, this can't be left like that. Reid could have freed that criminal just because he married into one of the Clark family!" Anastasia exclaimed with suppressed annoyance. Her white cheeks turned red.Amanda's twin sister was pacing back and forth in her father's study.Usually at times like this when his daug

The two of them are no longer husband and wife.
