Ethan tried to close his eyes, but thoughts about his sister's condition, which might not be as calm as his mind, kept waking him up.In the end, Ethan still couldn't rest peacefully."How can I possibly do all this," Ethan muttered to himself.He rubbed his face roughly, messing up his hair repeatedly.Ethan hadn't checked his phone in a while, but he hoped there would be a message different from that system message coming in.Ethan stared at his phone screen for quite some time, but the result was still nothing, there was nothing there."Seems pointless. There's nothing here," Ethan mumbled, realizing his efforts hadn't yielded any results.A long sigh escaped his mouth, his thoughts seeming to wander somewhere.He wanted to be calm, to find his sister as soon as possible, but fate seemed to be toying with him.Until now, Ethan may have complained about his economic condition, but if his finances remained good yet he had to lose his sister like this.Then what's the use of all his w
Richard hurried back to his apartment. He rode his motorcycle recklessly.As soon as he arrived at his apartment, Richard immediately opened the door, which he hadn't locked since morning, remembering there was a girl living with him."I hope what Milena said isn't true," Richard muttered, continuing to pray.Soon after, Richard quickly searched his apartment, looking for where the girl might be."Amel! Amel!" Richard called out, raising his voice.He kept looking around, searching for where the girl might be.Richard then opened the door to the girl's room, not finding her at all."Damn! I've checked every corner of this apartment. What if... no! That's impossible. In that case, let me search and ask people around."Richard took the initiative, then went out and was about to ask his neighbors. However, his steps then stopped when he just remembered that no one knew he had brought another girl.The man looked frustrated, another part of his heart still hoped that the girl was just out
Richard arrived at Martin's residence in a remarkably short time.The man didn't hesitate to burst in, driving recklessly until he was chased by several of Martin's men.Bang!Some bodyguards chasing Richard then hit the man's car hard, looking angry because he entered without permission.With full courage and without a hint of fear, Richard got out of his car.His gaze looked challenging towards the bodyguards who outnumbered him, and their builds were beyond description.Even one bodyguard facing Richard was no match for the man."How dare you enter without permission! Do you think you have the right to do that?!" growled the bodyguard with the biggest build.Although his heart felt a little afraid of that growl, Richard's determination to meet Amel and save the woman made him reluctant to follow his heart's advice to just leave."Where is Mr. Martin? I need to see him. He dared to kidnap my girl without my permission first," Richard explained to Martin's men.They seemed to ignore
Richard and Martin now stood right in front of a closed door with two bodyguards guarding it.Richard's gaze then shifted to Martin, who seemed to respond with his usual casual expression."I want to talk to her alone. I hope you understand," said Richard, emphasizing that he didn't want anyone else there but the two of them.Hearing this, Martin just smiled, nodding his head as if clearly allowing the man to do whatever he wanted."Go ahead. You can do whatever you want. But, just remember what I said before. I can't guarantee who the girl will choose later," Martin said confidently.Hearing that statement, as if it was clear that Amel would definitely choose Martin over him, made Richard feel annoyed.He wanted to slap that man's face that looked so arrogant and disrespectful, how dare he try to make Amel his after what he had done to Richard's girlfriend, Milena."I will definitely bring Amel back with me," Richard said even more confidently than Martin.Martin just gave a challeng
Ethan arrived at the place that had been recommended by the security guard. The sound of music that echoed to the disco jedag-jedug from inside the club began to be heard outside the club room. It was unimaginable how noisy it was in there. In the past, Ethan never thought he could enter a nightclub like this. He was sure that one hundred percent or even a thousand percent, Amel would scold him if she knew how depraved he was. However, Ethan really had no other choice. This was the only thing Ethan could do to get the peace he couldn't find since last night. "I'm sorry, Amel." Ethan realized that, even more than that, he should have focused more on finding Amel. However, his lack of opportunity and other evidence that could lead him to her made Ethan even more frustrated. He promised to stop coming to the club and drinking as long as he could meet Amel. A long sigh escaped Amel's mouth, her steps heavy with guilt for the girl. There was a banner in front of the club indicati
Ethan vaguely tried to open his eyes.The pulsing music continued to throb incessantly, making it difficult for Ethan to open his eyes wide.However, despite this, he tried to stay awake and snap out of his daze."Ow... my head hurts so much. Why does it feel so dizzy," Ethan mumbled, hoping he could still gather his wits about him.In his blurry vision, someone approached. It was hard for Ethan to clearly see who was in front of him."Quick! Come!" forced that person whose face was unclear.Ethan knew that person must have thought Ethan had lost consciousness. That person must have assumed that Ethan was now heavily drunk.Ethan admitted he looked disoriented at that time, but he could still vaguely remember what was in front of his eyes."Let go! Where are you taking me?!" snapped the girl, causing Ethan, who was trying to stay strong, to attempt to get closer to her.He tried to save the girl but to no avail.His effort failed, his outstretched hand was then grabbed by a man whose
Amel hung her head, the dim light in the room making her feel dizzy for a moment.She hadn't eaten a single grain of rice all day, not because they hadn't offered her food, but because she had always refused the guards' offers."It would be better if I died here. I don't want to be with them anymore. I just want to die!"Amel shouted loudly, her mind feeling pressured by it all.She still didn't understand why she had to endure such inappropriate treatment, what did that man really want?If only everything could be redone, Amel would ask Ethan to leave with her and not get involved with all of them.To hell with their lives, but the most important thing was that she and Ethan could live in peace."How did everything end up like this?"Various questions arose in Amel's head, feeling so pressured by it all.Her head was noisy, screaming at everything that made her feel like she couldn't do anything anymore.She didn't even know if it was morning, afternoon or night. Her room was complet
The next morning, Citra woke up from her bed as usual.Citra's life right now was far from recovered and good, as the woman wasn't growing in her career like before, but instead chose to confine herself in her cousin's apartment.Knock! Knock!A knock was heard on her bedroom door, and without needing to ask, Citra already knew who was behind that door."The door's unlocked," Citra said briefly, ignoring the creaking sound from the door.Currently, Citra was busy opening photos of her childhood stored in an album that she would always open whenever she felt lonely and sad."What are you doing?" Nike asked, sitting down near the woman.Citra remained silent, keeping her mouth shut as if reluctant to answer the man again.She only gave a signal through her eyes that looked at the album."Is that me?" Nike asked while pointing to a portrait of himself and Citra when they were little.Citra smiled faintly, followed by a nod of her head.For a moment, a rather long sigh came out of the wom
