"Follow me," said the woman, then turned away from them.

Brian stared at the woman's back which was getting further away, while the bodyguards and Alessia looked at each other Brian followed the woman's steps, and Alessia followed him even though he was hesitant.

"Come in," said the woman when they arrived at the striped yard. "Fast!" the woman emphasized.

Brian complied and stepped in, followed by Alesia and her bodyguard. Then the woman came in,- and immediately closed the door tightly. From her movements, it seemed like the woman was anxious.

“Follow me, and stay calm,” said the woman again.

Once again Brian complied. If that woman was Billy's wife, wouldn't that be great? However, it seemed something had happened.

They entered through the back door. The front of the house is on stilts, and there are small stairs to the terrace, but the back has a concrete floor, but the building has not changed, it is still made of wood.

Brian nodded his head when he met an old woman, and two teen

    The car carrying Brian and Billy's family began to leave the place under the supervision of the three men. Even though they had started to leave the place, they did not immediately feel relieved. Brian did not underestimate the movements of the opponent's men, or his grandfather's enemies who wanted to destroy everything Arnold had.But Brian was thankful he had taken him now, even though it was almost too late. Who would have thought that Brian had been waiting for his arrival?In the car no one was talking, it seemed like Billy's wife was still adjusting, she still looked worried, and Brian didn't force her to explain anything.“We will go to the next address. It doesn't look like it's far from here," said Brian to the bodyguard who was driving."Yes, Young Master," said the guard.Brian nodded.The roads in the area are still dark. The rain no longer fell to wet the earth, there was only silence, even in the car."So you knew I was coming?" Brian asked finally starting the conversa

    In the end, Brian received a call from Liam there because he couldn't stop the car in the middle of the road."Yes?" Brian answered the call."What's your situation, Brian?" Liam asked."I'm fine. We're heading to the next address," answered Brian."Okay. I was just wondering. It's not great here, so I was hoping you could maybe make plans outside the house. I don't know what you're going to do, but good luck, Brian.”"Thank You. I will try. What about the other?"Liam explained that conditions at Arnold's mansion were not good, and journalists continued to report what was happening. Not only was Kall's death leaked, but Billy's death also started to become public. This time I don't know who spread it to the media. Previously, it was Billy who spread the news, and Billy was also the one who killed Kall.The situation got worse even though Brian couldn't do much. Even now, instead of being by his grandfather's side and helping, Brian was outside with other people.“At least you're not

    Feri was still leading,- while protecting Brian as a bodyguard. Feri's every move looks so practiced. Brian was still relatively new to the big house, so he didn't know the guards. But Brian recognized some,- and was friendly enough to greet each other. Brian knows,- it doesn't have to be like that, but if one day Brian will be the heir to the house, of course, he will treat everyone well,- and appreciate everyone's efforts.Still squeezed into the crowd of visitors to the place, Brian just followed Feri's steps. The man followed the steps of the man carrying the weapon. For a moment Brian didn't agree, but Feri didn't say anything and just continued following their steps until they entered a place that looked like a settlement.The place is like most houses, only modern with multi-story buildings. The environment is beautiful and calm with music playing from the front area. Brian was once again amazed as he looked around. The buildings in the background stand strong, like guardians o

    "Can I ask you something?" Brian asked after a moment of silence.Brian leaned forward, glancing at the woman sitting next to Alessia. The second seat fits four people, although it is a bit cramped.“Yes, please,” the woman answered.First, my name is Brian. Are you Mr. Kall Brata's wife?” Brian asked again."Yes. My name is Jenie, this is my son, Joe," answered the woman. "Nice to meet you, Brian," continued Jenine with a beautiful smile.Brian answered with a smile."So you knew I was coming?" Brian asked again.Jenie nodded and started to tell him. Just like Billy, Kall also left something to his wife and children,- and told them about Brian. Since moving into Arnold's house, Jenie said her husband had started to show changes and was a little better. Kall is not like Billy who is warm and friendly. Kall is a little indifferent and cold,- but has great compassion. That's what Jenie said.A few days before the incident, Kall had contacted Joe and conveyed it to Jenie. There was a pos

    After placing Billy's family, and Kall's family in a safe place, Brian assigned Feri and Alan to look after them, while Brian returned with Alessia to carry out his plan.Arnold's mansion may look calm, but news is still circulating and is a hot topic of conversation. Various bad comments attacked them, dropping their mental defenses. Not only that, company shares fell, most investors withdrew, demanded compensation, and so on.Problems kept coming and going,- and made Arnold's health worse. The face of the old man, which has been a question for many people because he never showed his true face, is now starting to spread widely, even though only one photo is circulating, and published in all magazines, reports, press, and media. many more.Brian, who returned to the big house, sighed heavily, saddened to see Arnold's condition so bad. The old man lay weakly on his bed with the help of medical equipment and an IV tube to provide him with energy. Brian became worried."Let's talk," said

    Big news!The television screen showed big news. The police managed to arrest a big businessman for fraud, murder planning, and illegal trading. A burly man with a sharp gaze rebelled, rejecting the proven accusations."I don't accept it!" shouted the man to the media who were highlighting him.Brian witnesses the arrest with the others in the living room. It was a relief when the enemy was finally caught. Everything will be fine now after sacrificing many things.Manda cried emotionally while hugging Kiara who was sitting next to her. Arnold looked down, feeling both relieved and grateful that Miles' case had been revealed even though it had been so long. At least, everyone knows that Miles' death was someone's doing. Seeing the family look relieved made Brian feel relieved too. Liam looked at him,- and nodded.Their efforts paid off, and the timing was right. There was a lot of incriminating evidence, so an arrest was inevitable.Day after day Brian is busy. The evidence gathered su

    Brian stopped the car somewhere after almost three to four hours of driving."Wow! Ocean!" Alessia exclaimed as soon as she got out of the car and saw the view.The girl was overjoyed, laughing in amazement at the sight that lay before her. Brian watched from behind, and Alessia walked towards the smart one. The wind was blowing hard, the waves were crashing against the rocks, and the sound was so enthusiastic that they welcomed their arrival.“Brian, come here!” shouted Alessia in the distance, leaving Brian where he was.Brian just raised his hand, waved, and smiled. Alessia ran again while taking off her shoes and playing in the seawater on the beach. Seeing the big smile on Alessia's face, Brian felt even better. The man took a deep breath,- and inhaled the sea air.The crashing of the waves sounds so serene, nature looks bright here against the backdrop of dusk that comes at the end. Brian approached Alessia who was playing in the water like a child. Brian knew the girl would lik

    For a long time, he was silent in the room with his reflection in the mirror. The big event finally took place tonight, at one of the five-star hotels owned by the Kent Group. Brian looked at his reflection in the mirror. Everything was ready, and he looked perfect in a navy suit, Brian let his hair a little messy to make an impression, after all, that was his style. His watch was on, and so were his shoes."Let's go, Young Master," said Kiara, peeking at Brian from behind his bedroom door. The girl's smile always seduced him.Brian turned around,- and nodded.Kiara welcomed Brian, hugged the man's arm affectionately, and even laughed happily as she walked down the stairs in a long-sleeved, knee-length navy dress, just like Brian. Manda didn't want her daughter to show off her curves so she designed a dress that was closed but elegant. Kiara looked like a princess with her black hair neatly styled and decorated with beautiful hairpins.Everyone was waiting for him in the living room.

    163. The Effect of Sorry

    Is everything finished now? I don't think so. There were still disturbing feelings in Brian's heart.“Even so, I remained by his side. Because honestly, I liked Miles the first time I saw him. But, he was cold,- and didn't care about the meeting at all. I know that he has someone he loves. Jealousy got the best of me, making me think of crazy things to separate them."Brian's heart ached when he heard Miles' confession. How bad is jealousy if it gets out of control? Is it that difficult to endure, and get rid of that feeling of jealousy? Brian didn't know, but it was something everyone had.“Miles didn't know anything, neither did Chintia, and I was the one who separated them. For some reason, I wanted to meet you,- and say this. To be honest, the feeling of guilt after Miles died in an accident because of my uncle made me unable to calm down. Then, I heard a rumor that Miles had a child. Of course, the child wasn't with me, because Miles never touched me.”A feeling of relief envelop

    Seeing that the girl was busy, Brian's thoughts began to wander, and his heartbeat increased even more. For the first time, Brian felt such a strong urge within himself."Is that okay?" Brian asked in his heart.Occasionally the man glanced at Alessia's smiling face. He still seemed happy because Sean already had a girlfriend, which meant Alessia would have a sister-in-law. Brian doesn't understand, but Brian seems to have to admit that Sean is great,- and unexpected. Even though they had often been together, they had never seen a man with a woman."They're not dressed." Brian blinked his eyelids even more.What is the meaning of that thought?"I am done. Would you like a snack tonight?” Alessia offered while drying her hands and looking at Brian who remained silent.For some reason, the lighting behind the girl became dazzling, making Alessia even more charming. Are the hormones in Brian's body active? Oh, wherever Brian is, he doesn't seem to feel any hormonal fluctuations.“Bryan?”

    After Azil conveyed this to Brian, Brian's doubts about his father shook his heart, but he couldn't change his decision. For several days, Brian decided to stay in the house that Miles gave him. Arnold didn't mind it either because Brian needed to calm down.That question filled Brian's mind and heart again. What was his father's reason for sleeping with another woman? Is it still appropriate for Brian to call Miles his father? I don't know, Brian doubts it.The house is still the same because someone always comes to clean. Brian also comes occasionally. Brian won't be able to leave that house, maybe one day he will decide there, rather than Arnold's big house.“I will prepare for tonight. Do you want something?" Alessia asked as usual. The girl also accompanied Brian."Whatever you cook," Brian answered.Alessia just nodded and went to the kitchen to make dinner.For several days together at home, Brian was just silent, occasionally reviewing material for his campus trial which would

    "I don't believe it. Brother Miles can't do something embarrassing like that. He must have been framed. That's right, he must have been framed," said Manda hysterically, not believing what she saw.Brian couldn't say anything, neither did Azil, even Liam who tried to calm Manda."Who's he?" Brian finally asked.But Azil was silent and shook his head."Jenifer, you may have heard of it," Liam said in response to Brian's question.Brian's eyes moved, the woman who had an arranged marriage with Miles but was rejected,- was close to Brian's father,- and was involved in Miles' accident.Brian didn't say anything now,- and cupped his face with his palms. Closed his eyes, let the clear and salty liquid fall from his eyelids, and cried silently. Brian's heart ached, why could this happen? His poor mother.Manda is still crying regretting her ignorance in the past. What happened, whether true or otherwise? Brian doesn't know, but now the question is why his mother left after trying to survive

    “You can continue, don't mind Manda. We will still listen even if it hurts,” Liam said to Azil.Even though he was a little hesitant, seeing Brian waiting made Azil nod his head.“I insisted not to ask what the reason was. But, I secretly went back to town to find out,- and also told Miles. However, what do I get? Just hate and hurt when I see Miles with a woman, even though he looks so happy," said Azil.Azil's facial expression changed to anger, but that was only for a moment. After taking a deep breath, we continued the story.“I came back,- but didn't say anything to Sis Chintia. However, I understand the reason for making a sudden decision, and not even explaining anything. The heartache of being betrayed by a woman is like the end of everything. I understood Sis Chintia's decision,- and decided to leave, even hide. Sis Chintia probably thought that by disappearing, Miles would be happy.""That's not true," muttered Manda. “We have never been happier since then,” he continued, so

    "So, I think it's time for you to find out what happened to your mother," said Azil.Brian automatically straightened up when he heard Azil involve his mother in the story he was going to tell."Mother?" Brian assured Azil that he had heard correctly."Yes, your mother, Chintia," repeated Azil, looking at Brian. "I came to tell you the reason why Sis Chintia chose to leave your father and hide herself," continued the man.Brian's eyelids moved slowly. When Brian started to no longer want to know about the past, and the reasons why his mother chose to give up after maintaining the relationship with all her might. But when Brian tried not to care, and decided not to know, someone came, claiming to know the reason."What has happened?" Brian asked in a weak voice.Brian's chest was now rumbling, there was a feeling of tightness touching his chest. What might Brian have heard from Azil about his mother making secret decisions?Azil sighed, focusing his gaze on Brian who was waiting to hea

    Brian's busy life is always the same, studying, practicing, and working. Spending time doing many things doesn't make him feel bored, the man is enthusiastic about continuing. If no one reminded him to rest, Brian would drown in his busy life.Alessia is like a living alarm for Brian, the girl reminds Brian when it's time to rest, have lunch or dinner, and when he should go to bed early and wake up. Even though the distance between them has now widened, attention and affection have never diminished, on the contrary.That afternoon Brian had just come out of Arnold's study which he usually used for studying. A text message came to Brian's cell phone.[I came to visit, are you free?]Ask for a text message from Azil.Brian immediately responded with a telephone call,- and asked if Uncle Azil would come.“Yes, I came to visit,” answered Azil.“Where is Uncle now? I'll pick you up," said Brian."No need. "I've arrived," said Azil."Here?" Brian turned around and looked for his uncle."Yes

    Brian threw himself on the living room sofa, there was no one there. Brian was tired even though he didn't do much work."Being the center of attention is tiring," Brian muttered with a sigh."Why?"Brian turned to where the voice came from. Manda appeared out of nowhere with a jar of snacks in her hand,- and a cup of drink that was still steaming. The afternoon is perfect for spending time with a cup of warm drink.Straightened his body and sat down. Brian watched his aunt put cups and jars on the table and then looked at Brian.“What are you mumbling about, Brian?” Manda asked curiously.However, Brian was silent and Manda did not demand that Brian say it."You have to be able to handle it," said Manda after taking the television remote and changing the channel. "When it's finished, you'll get used to it, and after that maybe you won't care," continued Manda as if he knew what Brian was muttering.If Manda knows, why ask? Brian thought his aunt's attitude was a little strange.“I'm
