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

FLASHBACKAfter hearing her father's plan to order someone to kill Reid Arison, Elena couldn't sleep.Even though she previously felt very tired from the long journey from her apartment to this house, after hearing her father's words the sleepiness disappeared, replaced by a feeling of restlessness.Even though feelings of hatred began to creep into Elena's heart towards the figure named Reid Arison, according to Elena, ordering people to kill him was not the right thing to do.Killing, whatever the reason, is still wrong. Even though his father had revenge for Brian's death and Harry's imprisonment, that still wasn't a good reason to kill Reid.Revenge will never end. If eyes had to be paid for eyes, then this world would be dark because no one would be able to see the beauty of the rainbow anymore.But how can she talk to his father and say that his father shouldn't order people to commit murder?Elena paced back and forth in her room. She bit her fingernails because the feeling of

Until night fell, Elena didn't know what she should do to thwart the murder plan.She didn't have the ability to fight the hitman, she didn't understand martial arts at all.Elena thought about sabotaging the hitman by paying him more than her father paid. She was sure the hitman would be interested.However, how much did his father promise? Elena is sure the number is not small. For a life, especially the life of an important person, the price must be fantastic. Moreover, his father promised to give three times the money if the hitman succeeded in killing Reid.Meanwhile, how much money does Elena have?Elena began to doubt that the amount of her savings could even reach one time the payment her father would give the hitman. Since divorcing Alex, she has mostly confined herself to her apartment and only taken freelance work.The only valuable possession she owns is her apartment. Can she sell it right now?Even if she could sell it, she wouldn't be able to get the money directly toda

Elena knows for sure that she can't take Reid to the public hospital right now. If Reid's whereabouts are revealed and that he is still alive, Elena's father will definitely carry out another plan to kill Reid. Elena's father will definitely keep trying to kill Reid until Reid actually dies.In the end, Elena decided to take Reid to her apartment. She contacted William Brook, the personal doctor who had been treating Elena when her body was full of traces of Alex's abuse.When Doctor Brook arrived at her apartment, the middle-aged man with thinning hair at the front was shocked by Reid's condition who was covered in blood on Elena's bed.Elena had explained briefly over the phone that she needed Doctor Brook's help to help the injured man she found."When you said wounds, I didn't imagine that I would be dealing with wounds this serious at this time of night," said Doctor Brook with a sharp glance at Elena.Elena grimaced. “Sorry, doctor. I'm just... afraid you won't come if I tell yo

“I'm sorry, mom, for not calling you. I plan to stay overnight at my friend's place. We were having so much fun hanging out that we forgot the time, and I was also quite drunk, I didn't think it was safe for me to drive, so I decided to stay the night at my friend's place," said Elena, finally finding an excuse.There was a disapproving chuckle from the other side of the phone, but in the end Megan said, "Okay, if you really want to stay overnight. You should have called me earlier to tell me so I wouldn't worry.”"Sorry, mom," Elena whispered.Megan immediately turned off the phone line. Only then did Elena breathe a sigh of relief.Elena then decided to sleep on the sofa in the room, just in case Reid finally woke up.***The next morning, according to Doctor Brook's appointment, he came to Elena's apartment to check on Reid's condition.After doing some tests, Doctor Brook said that everything was fine."But why isn't he conscious yet, doc?" asked Elena, who still felt worried afte

Even though Elena has repeatedly said that Reid is a good person, Doctor Brook still wants to confirm for himself.Doctor Brook looked for news about Reid on the internet, and it turned out that it was very easy to find news about this man, in fact there was a lot about him. Doctor Brook must have been too busy working to never hear anything about Reid Arison, even though it turns out he is quite famous.From the news read—and also watched—by Doctor Brook, he concluded that Reid was a man who was hardworking, talented, and appare

Before entering Reid's room, Elena repeatedly breathed in and out, still preparing herself for what she would do next.Doctor Brook's idea is absolutely crazy!How come? Elena had to pretend to claim to be Reid's girlfriend. What if Reid doesn't believe it? Elena really didn't know how to convince Reid.Or, what if Reid believes? According to Elena, it would actually be more difficult for her.However, Elena had to admit, Doctor Brook's words were true. If Elena really intends to help Reid, Elena must act totally. If Elena wants to pretend to be Reid's girlfriend, Elena also has to take Reid out of the country because it's impossible for Reid to stay in this country.

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
