2024-06-28 10:16:02"Camila?!" called Levin as he descended the stairs. Camila screamed and cried so much that Andie didn't know what to do to win over his aunt.
"Sorry uncle, I just had some bad news to tell aunt Camila," Andie explained as Levin approached.
"What's the bad news?" asked Levin curiously with a questioning look in his eyes and a tinge of embarrassment at the guests for the uproar that had occurred.
"Ferdinand had an accident and the possibility of his body not being saved is uncle Levin," said Andie.
Levin's pair of eyeballs instantly widened even as his mouth was still locked speechless while his heart felt a hard pounding making it difficult for him to breathe.
"The police are giving me information and they're still out front," Andie continued.
"You don't mess around Andie, they must be the wrong people!" snapped Levin with a hardened jaw, his heart was in so much pain that he was gasping for air.
"Are you alright uncle?" Andie noticed the change in Levin's face.
"You can't just stay here Andie and throw the two policemen out!" Camila ordered, still not accepting the news about her son.
"I can't do that aunt Camila, we have to find out the truth about Ferdinand," Andie refused gently.
"Help me Camila!" Levin groaned in pain as he fell to the floor and the whole room immediately panicked.
"Mr. Levin, are you alright?" One of the invited guests ventured to show his concern.
"Honey, what are you feeling? Don't scare me more!" Camila was hysterical and embraced Levin trying to support her husband's body from lying on the floor.
"Servants, take uncle Levin to the hospital and the others come with me to Ferdinand's accident scene!" He ordered.
"Yes, Mr. Andie. Two assistants immediately swiftly carried Levin's body to the car to the hospital.
Camila, who looked so frantic, stood where her makeup was already messed up with wet eyes at the thought that the only son she was so proud of would bring her deep sorrow.
"Auntie, I'm going with the police so you'd better look after Uncle Levin at the hospital," Andie said before leaving.
"Yes Andie," Camila replied quietly.
Andie also ordered one of the house servants to accompany Camila because he saw her unstable and weak condition, then Andie hurried to meet the two policemen who had been waiting.
"I will come to the scene, can we go now?" Andie asked.
"Yes, Mr. Andie. Once outside the gate, many invited guests were already crowding around wanting to know about Ferdinand, who was actually going to become Chief Executive Officer on the occasion of his thirtieth birthday.
"Mr. Andie, is it true that Mr. Ferdinand was declared dead in an accident?" asked one of the guests who tried to block Andie's car.
Andie chose to close the windshield tightly and continued on his way, ignoring them. Within forty-five minutes Andie and the police arrived at the scene only to find it filled with journalists.
"Should we ask them not to bother you, sir?" asked one of Andie's assistants before getting out of the car.
"Leave it alone," Andie said lazily.
"Sir, may we have a moment of your time?" asked one journalist, followed by another.
"What steps will the family take over this incident?" interrupted another. Andie's assistants swiftly fenced off his master from the crowd of journalists but they were outnumbered.
"Sorry, I can't give any information yet, let the police work," Andie said briefly and then penetrated them with the help of his assistants.
"One of the witnesses, Mrs. Margaretha, happened to be around the scene when the accident occurred, the car was traveling at high speed then hit the road divider and finally rolled over and exploded, Mr. Andie," said the police while introducing him.
"Is that right?" asked Andie unhappily.
"Yes, sir," Margaretha added in a trembling voice. Andie stared intently at the middle-aged woman while watching her suspicious movements.
"Then where is Ferdinand's body?" asked Andie with a tense face.
"We can't find it, Mr. Andie, because looking at the condition of the car that exploded and burned heavily, the chances of the victim surviving are very slim, the possibility of his body being burned and the dust scattered in the river. Sir, don't worry, we will do our best to uncover the cause of this accident," the police officer assured.
Andie just let out a long sigh massaging his forehead then rubbing his face roughly his mind was so afraid of the current situation.
"Is there anything else you should know?" said Margaretha bravely.
"What? Tell me?" Andie pleaded.
"There was another car that seemed to have been hit from behind. The car even rolled over but didn't catch fire," said Margaretha.
Andie immediately put on a cold face with a slight nod as if she had understood everything the policeman and the woman had explained.
"These are some of Mr. Ferdinand's belongings that we found at the scene, Mr. Andie." The police handed over Ferdinand's wallet and torn clothes.
"Okay, thank you guys for working so hard," Andie said, ending their conversation.
"Our deepest condolences for this incident," the police officer said again.
"Thank you, we await the results of further investigation." Andi returned the policeman's handshake and left the scene.
The journalists followed him and listened to all the information from the policeman.
"Has Mr. Ferdinand Johansson really been declared dead, Mr. Andie? We are waiting for an official statement from your family," asked one of the reporters.
"My cousin Ferdinand has died as a result of this accident, we are devastated to hear this sad news and this is the proof," said Andie briefly with his head bowed full of sadness without wanting to look at the journalist's camera while showing Ferdinand's clothes.
Andie immediately went away from the crowd of journalists and got into a car to walk a few hundred meters away from the scene.
"You stay here and recheck every inch of Ferdinand's accident site including the charred carcass. Wait until the situation is completely quiet lest anyone finds out!" Andie ordered in a whisper to Doni, his trusted assistant.
"Yes Mr. Andie," Doni replied enthusiastically.
An hour passed and Doni found it difficult to do the task Andie ordered him to do and then gave a report.
"The whole car wreck has been cleaned up by the police Mr. Andie, I didn't have a chance to sneak a look," Doni said irritably.
"What about the area around the river where Ferdinand's car plunged? Have you checked it?" asked Andie, also feeling deeply disappointed.
"Already sir, I didn't find anything there, everything looks neat and clean," explained Doni. Andie let out a strong breath at the report of his confidant.

"Alright then you can go home I'll have the driver pick you up now!" Andie turned off the phone. He exhaled thinking about Ferdinand's problems until now.The cold wind in Interlaken was getting colder so Margaretha had to spur her horse-drawn carriage towards her residence in Lauterbrunnen not far from the scene of Ferdinand's accident."What bad luck! I've wasted hours of my time, I should have just kept quiet and pretended that I didn't know anything about what happened earlier, now it's too late, how is this?" Margaretha babbled to herself endlessly with an agitated look.Margaretha went to Interlaken just to look for medicinal plants that were urgently needed but had not had time to look for them yet, she was caught up in an incident that she never expected at all. Her eyes, which were starting to sting from glaring at the greenery along the riverbank, suddenly lit up as the medicine she was looking for finally came into view."Thank goodness I finally found it," Margaretha said

"Servant, please take Auntie to her room!" Andie ordered one of the servants standing nearby."Yes, Mr. Andie. Camilla walked towards the main room upstairs with her hands clinging to the servant who escorted her. Her body felt so weak refusing to eat since yesterday."Let me get some food for Madame," the servant said after opening the door for Camilla."No! I don't want to eat, leave me alone," she refused as she closed the door. The servant could only bow obediently away from Camilla's room even though she was worried about her Ladyship's condition.Camilla locked herself in the room screaming as she grabbed a vase of flowers from the table and threw it at the large mirror attached to the dressing table, shattering it."No way! It's just a dream! It's just a dream!" The sound of her crying wailed filled the entire room. If she could, she wanted to chase away everyone who came and throw away all the bouquets lined up in front of the house because she believed Ferdinand was still ali

Andie came out of his office accompanied by Doni and all employees who passed by saluted. The sports car that only had a capacity for two passengers belonged to Ferdinand but was now used almost every day by Andie, not only the car but almost all of the Johansson family's luxury goods were free to use."So this is what rich people are like, huh?" Andie chuckled but her heart ached to use Ferdinand's former facilities.Ferdinand's health continued to progress quite well although the word for a quick recovery was still far away, after several months passed the man was still unable to get out of bed because his broken leg bones had not fully recovered. Margaretha brought warm water and a small towel to clean Ferdinand's body and compress some of the wounds."Ferdinand, I'm going to clean you," Margaretha said enthusiastically."Enough! I don't want you to do it!" snapped Ferdinand, as Margaretha's hand almost gently massaged his knee area."I'm sorry if you feel pain, your wounds are ba

Ferdinand was momentarily downcast, realizing that his condition was too weak to approach Andie to beat him up, it seemed that now was not the right time. Slowly Ferdinand ventured into the trunk of the car, although it felt too risky there was no other way to get away from Lauterbrunnen and return home."I think today is enough, then I will ask the contractor to immediately start the construction of this place which will be the most different tourist site from all that has ever existed at the foot of the Alps," Andie said while preparing to get into the car."Of course Sir, your name will be number one and no one will know that we have embezzled the funds," replied Doni while opening the door not realizing Ferdinand had entered first and then left the place."You are indeed wise Doni, a bigger prize will be waiting for you." Doni just smiled broadly in response to Andie's words.At Margaretha's modest house, she cheerfully rushed to the kitchen to prepare food for the two of them."F

"Sorry, here's a little food for you like you need," she said as he handed it over while watching Ferdinand. There was a sense of dread at the man's appearance, so shabby with long hair and a mustache and beard covering his face."Thank you," Ferdinand accepted it without looking directly at her."Well, if you'll excuse me," she said as he got into the car and drove away.Ferdinand held the package of bread with trembling hands because he couldn't hold back his hunger without waiting anymore, he immediately ate it until it was finished and the mineral water was gulped down. "He left? Even though I was going to say thank you, '' Ferdinand thought.After regaining his strength Ferdinand tried to enter the hospital so sure that just saying his father's name everyone would immediately deliver him to the room he was looking for."Hello, I'd like to see someone inside," Ferdinand said kindly."Excuse me sir, what do you need to come here?" asked the security guard at the lobby door."I wan

The woman smiled then hurried into the car silently watching from the rearview mirror as pity and the urge to give some money arose considering that just this afternoon the man had almost fainted from not eating."Excuse me, wait?" she called back downstairs and chased after Ferdinand."What's wrong, ma'am?" asked Ferdinand when he turned around."I'm sorry, before this is for you, please don't refuse, think of it as a service fee for car repairs," she coaxed, handing over some money."No need, thank you," Ferdinand politely declined."I'm sorry then I didn't mean to offend, well I'll excuse myself." The bill was put back into his wallet with a somewhat disappointed look."If you want to help me just give me a job," said Ferdinand, spontaneously daring to speak like that since he had been feeling uneasy thinking about how to live in this city with the current situation where everyone looked at him like a bum."So you're looking for a job? Are you serious?" the woman asked again."Yes

"Do you think this is a restaurant so you can eat as leisurely as you like? It's time to work!" he snapped, acting like a senior bullying a junior."Fine," Ferdinand replied shortly.Ferdinand wanted to keep his promise to work well so as not to disappoint the woman who helped him, after all he had to be able to maintain his position at this job until the mission to meet his father was accomplished. Ferdinand began to mop the hallway area mimicking the way the servants cleaned the house."This is crazy how tiring it is, do I have to do this job all the time?" he complained while still feeling the pain in his knee that had not yet recovered."Hey you?" called one of the security guards."Yes sir," Ferdinand replied after looking around and finally realizing it was him."Stay away from this area, clean up the other areas first as soon as Mr. Levin will come out to enjoy the morning air in the park!" the security officer ordered."Yes sir." Ferdinand backed away slowly while keeping his

"I apologize once again Clara, I have so many responsibilities right now," he whispered softly, Clara seemed to melt as she slowly smiled and nodded in understanding of Andie's situation."Are you going straight to the office after this?" Clara asked, not wanting the two of them to separate again."Yes, I will have to take Aunt Camila's belongings to the apartment first before returning to the office, so I'm sorry I can't accompany you, Clara," said Andie, showing the dirty object in her hand."It's okay Andie, after all, I was taken by the driver," said Clara."Okay, I have to go now." Andie hugged him briefly before they separated.Andie and Clara were too deep into the story even though Ferdinand had already done itAfter mopping the floor from a few meters away, they both heard clearly that their cousin was going to their mother's apartment."This is a golden opportunity to find out about my mother's apartment," he said, excited to know the exact location of the unit where Camilla

"Thank you. You can leave directly with my driver. No need to take me upstairs." Camilla said as the car stopped in front of the apartment lobby."No, Aunt Camilla, you're not feeling well; let me take you to the door," said Clara."You'll be late." Camilla tried to convince Clara that she could still walk to her apartment unit alone."No problem; if I'm just a little late, they can still wait for me," Clara replied with a smile.They both got out of the car after the driver opened the door. The driver carried Mrs Camilla's bag while Clara helped Camilla walk by holding her hand.They walked into the elevator and then to the fifteenth floor. Clara held Camilla's hand until they passed through the apartment hallway and stopped before the door. Camilla was again seen holding her head. The look on her face was one of pain."Auntie, should we call a doctor to check on you?" asked Clara with concern."No need, I just need to rest." Camilla refused gently."But, are you sure you can be alon

Margareta was wearing a thick blanket. The sun was already shining brightly, and the weather was quite warm, but her unhealthy body made her shiver from the cold."What about my animals? I have to feed them. But my body doesn't feel strong," she said, lying in bed.Margareta has been sick for almost a week. Yesterday, she was still doing her usual activities, going to the garden and caring for the cattle. But eventually, her body couldn't take it. Today, she has been lying down since morning, unable to cook food for herself.There was a knock on the door. Margareta wanted to get up and open the door to see who was coming. But her body felt so weak."Who's there? Just come in, the door is unlocked," she said in a rather loud voice. After that, she went back to warming herself under the thick blanket."It's me, Leticia," said a voice outside.Leticia, who heard Margareta's answer, opened the door slowly and entered Margareta's house."Leticia, what's wrong this early in the morning?" as

"This woman's house holds many secrets; I thought this place was just a warehouse for used goods," said Ferdinand, who began to open several old books stored there.The main door was still tightly closed. There was no sound of people approaching. Ferdinand believed the situation was still safe. He wanted to check more documents in this warehouse.Clara wasn't a stranger, as Andie had been dating the girl for over two years. Ferdinand often heard Clara's name, but they had never interacted directly. Andie and Clara usually spent their time vacationing abroad. Clara was well known to Ferdinand's parents as Andie had introduced her to Camilla and Levin."Oh, so that annoying naggy woman handles some of her father's businesses and modeling," Ferdinand said softly as he read an old document containing Clara's data.Ferdinand stepped over to examine the rest of the room. He still couldn't guess what Clara wanted to order him to do later."You damn girl! Just because I accidentally spilled w

Andie was still in her luxurious home. His cell phone had been ringing for a few minutes. He deliberately ignored the call. His head was spinning from a report from his assistant that one of their most significant business clients had suddenly canceled a joint project."Didn't you hear Doni wrong?" Andie asked."Yes, sir, yesterday, while you were meeting with the company's top brass, who will be our potential investor, Mr. Jose came to see me and told me about the cancellation. I explained that he should talk to you directly, but Mr. Jose refused because there was no time for a meeting and because he was about to fly straight to America," explained Doni carefully."Damn it! It's a big project that I've been looking forward to!" Andi said irritably.Doni just stood there with his head bowed. He didn't dare to say much, fearing that Andie would get even angrier. Meanwhile, Andie paced back and forth in front of his desk, looking upset at the thought of billions of dollars failing to en

Clara sat in a chair in the lobby, fiddling with her cell phone. She was sick from meeting and dealing with the young man who had spilled dirty water on her clothes the previous day."Excuse me, Miss," greeted the security guard who escorted Ferdinand.The beautiful woman put her cell phone in her bag. She stood up reluctantly and returned the security guard's greeting."Yes," she said curtly."This is Ferdinand. All his work at this hospital has been completed. He is allowed to leave with you. His work contract at this hospital has not been renewed anymore." explained the security guard.Clara was too lazy to talk to the security guard. She just turned her head slightly to give a code to her driver. The driver immediately understood."Thank you, sir. Now Ferdinand will come with us." The driver said on behalf of Clara.They then walked outside the hospital building. Clara stood in front of the lobby door, waiting for the driver to take the car to the parking lot. Ferdinand waited obe

Clara was busy applying her beautiful makeup in front of the mirror. She felt a little tired because of her busy work schedule as a professional model. From advertising projects and fashion shows to photo shoots for famous magazines. "Today's schedule is even busier than yesterday," she said softly, sighing. She looked at her face for a moment. Then, put some makeup on her eyes. Covering the eye bags that began to appear clearly due to lack of rest. It was not only her busy schedule as a professional model that made her tired. Her younger brother Jason made her very tired in this house."Miss, may I come in?" a servant asked from behind the door.Clara put down the perfume bottle she had just sprayed."Yes, just come in," she replied.A young woman who had been working as a servant in Clara's family for several years entered her room with cautious steps."Excuse me, Miss, I apologize if I disturbed you." said the maid."What's wrong?" asked Clara without turning to the maid.

"Why do I have to deal with a woman like her?!" Ferdinand threw the hat he was wearing onto the bed. His hands were clenched into fists, signalling annoyance. It was only a matter of time before he caught up with Andie. "No wonder that woman became Andie's lover. They're both bad-tempered!" Ferdinand muttered. Tonight is the last night Ferdinand occupies an employee room at this hospital. Tomorrow morning, he had to start his new duties. Ferdinand laid his body on the bed, imagining his duties at Clara's house as a servant. Working in this hospital alone, he was pretty exhausted, let alone having to be a servant in the house of that cruel-tempered woman. "You bastard! I'm experiencing all this because of Andie! I'll repay him mercilessly when I get the chance!" said Ferdinand. The face of his cousin, whom he used to love so much, was now the person he hated the most. Meanwhile, Anna, who had just finished her duties as head nurse, met with the hospital manager in the hospital
