Ethan let out a long breath, staring at the woman intently. "Tell me quickly. What did you just say?" Ethan asked with his sharp gaze. Visibly, the woman seemed to ignore the sharp gaze Ethan was giving her.With leisurely steps, the woman walked towards the bench in front of Ethan, sitting so sweetly there. "I could have helped you. We could have worked together. Now, I'm one of the people close to Martin. You don't have a problem with him, do you?" asked Milena as if she could understand Ethan's problem. The woman published a wide smile at the corner of her lips, Ethan who had been silent and did not say anything made her already sure, if what she had just said was true. Milena then straightened her body, approached the man, draped both hands right on the man's shoulders, as if hugging him from behind.Ethan, who was certainly uncomfortable with the woman's touch, made a distance, staring so intently as if warning the woman to stay away from him."I don't want to get too close

Citra stretched all the muscles in her body, which felt tense. Today, her workload felt heavier than usual.A long sigh escaped her mouth as she realized there were still several documents she hadn't finished."Hotel construction contract, investment agreement with Company X, warehouse inventory supplies..."The woman's voice could be heard listing each document that she still hadn't completed.Just looking at the letterheads, Citra could no longer think clearly.The fact was, her head suddenly felt throbbing thinking about the amount of work still left to do, even though since morning, Citra hadn't stopped trying to finish it.She wondered, had Nike never worked? How could the office work pile up like this? She was sure only a few things had been done by that man."Citra!" Nike called out to the woman.With his office bag already in his right hand, a smile curved at the corner of his lips.He seemed to feel no guilt whatsoever towards Citra, even though the look she gave him was clea

"It's almost half past seven, give me that document, let me help you work on it so you can finish it quickly," said Nike, who suddenly arrived without Citra realizing it. It was seen that the woman only cast a flat gaze at Nike for a moment, before finally focusing back on her computer screen."It's good that you've come to your senses. I guess, as long as I'm not here, all this work is also intentionally neglected by you, right? You let a lot of work pile up on purpose," Citra retorted scathingly. The man who had just picked up his laptop, seemed to place the rectangular object with a heavy heart near the woman. As always, that woman spoke with great damage. The Ulti that the woman said, never missed, always hitting the enemy or the target she was aiming for. "I do everything. That's fine, you know what I do. But, as long as you're not here, I'm taking your place by taking on your entire role for real. I did it," Nike retorted, seemingly unaccepting of the woman's lack of work.

Not wanting to make Citra suspicious, Nike also changed his clothes.Nike was wearing casual clothes, while Citra, as Nike had previously instructed, had to look very beautiful tonight.A long sigh escaped his mouth, unsure how the woman would react later when she found out Nike had lied to her.However, as Nike had said before, he had no reason to refuse Mrs. Merry's words.His voice wouldn't be able to oppose that woman's decisions. He felt bound by contract to that middle-aged woman."Let's go! I'm ready," said Citra, approaching Nike who was lost in thought.Nike lifted his face, looking at Citra, who instantly left him unable to resist complimenting her."Citra? You look so beautiful," Nike said, his eyes refusing to blink.He didn't want to take his eyes off Citra's face."Of course. Haven't you always realized that I'm charming?"Citra seemed proud of herself, which was usual for her when she could capture the attention of those around her.Nike rolled his eyes. Though he had c

"Wow! You look very beautiful tonight, Citra. Isn't that right, Martin?" Martin's mom seemed to be praising the beauty of her future daughter-in-law.Martin was seen nodding, indicating that he agreed with his mom's words."Yes, Mom. Citra always looks beautiful no matter what. Now and forever, my view of her never changes," Martin said with his typical smooth-talking style.Meanwhile, Citra didn't respond to the man's words at all. She seemed to ignore him, rolling her eyes indifferently.Realizing that her daughter appeared not to care about the conversation between her future in-laws, Mrs. Merry pinched Citra's arm.As if already used to her mom's behavior, Citra didn't seem to feel anything.Her daydream was interrupted, but her mouth remained tightly shut."Say thank you, Citra. You were just complimented by Martin and his mom."Mrs. Merry gave a look that emphasized that the woman should immediately obey her words.After that, Mrs. Merry's gaze shifted to the front, specifically

Citra took a deep breath, deciding to sit on the long bench right on the terrace of the empty restaurant.It was no wonder why the restaurant was empty, the reason being none other than that it had been booked by her family.So, clearly there would be no other visitors there except them."Where are you going? Do you think you can avoid all this? You belong to me and God's fate also says so. So, can you run from your destiny?"Citra clenched her fist, hearing a voice familiar to the woman's ears.Without having to ask again, Citra already knew where the voice came from and who it belonged to.The sound of footsteps approaching where she sat was heard, at first the man intended to close the distance between himself and Citra.However, Citra quickly changed positions, giving him space and making the man become distant."It would be better if you left here immediately. Your arrival only makes me feel uncomfortable. Let me be alone. I need time alone," Citra asserted.Not once did the woma

With an expression she still couldn't control, Citra returned to meet the parents at the dining table.This time, Citra showed no resistance whatsoever. She didn't even pull away, clearly allowing Martin to hold her hand.Seeing Martin and Citra return with their hands intertwined made everyone at the dining table throw incredulous looks their way.The behavior of both was completely difficult for all eyes there to believe."Mom... Dad..." Martin called out with a beaming face.Meanwhile, Citra seemed resigned, frozen without being able to say anything more."Wait? You two? How come you're back with... a relationship that seems different from before," Mrs. Merry blurted out, realizing how her daughter, who had been opposing her all this time, suddenly turned silent in an instant.A smile again carved widely on Martin's face, as if that alone could already answer their questions right now."Citra just needed guidance and constructive words so that her ego could be controlled by her. No

The eerie night air enveloped Citra's footsteps as she walked down the hospital hallway. A long sigh escaped her mouth, her gaze diverted in another direction to find many dark gaps that were invisible to them. For a moment, she felt uneasy, afraid that the man in front of her was just deceiving her.However, their footsteps that continued to walk far away, down the deserted hospital corridor made Citra then believe that the man was most likely not lying to her. Citra followed where the man was taking her, they then stopped at one of the hallways that contained several doors at once. The man's steps then stopped at one of the doors of the room in the far corner of the corridor. Check! The man then opened the door casually, entering the room with Citra still trailing behind him. Slowly, the man's body that was blocking his path then shifted to the side, as if giving room for Citra to see what was directly in front of her. Deg! As Citra's heart beat faster than usual, she tried

As promised to the woman, Ethan decided to go to Citra's house and talk to her parents.His hand, which was already holding several plastic bags filled with fruits, was immediately taken over by a household assistant when the man arrived at Citra's house. Citra, who was at the top of the stairs, immediately descended it, smiling when she saw that he was already at her house. This was something she had been waiting for, she was really happy that the person she loved would express his desire to marry her to her parents. "Your parents are there, right Citra?" Asked Etha after the two of them decided to sit on a fairly soft sofa in the living room.Citra wanted to answer, but suddenly from the other direction came the voice of Citra's father. "We're here, Ethan." Ethan turned his head towards our parents who were currently walking towards the two of them and decided to sit on the opposite sofa. Suddenly, the man's heart was unsafe in the presence of Citra's parents, as if he really fel

After their romantic dinner, Ethan drove slowly towards Citra's house. But before he actually left he turned to Amel who was still on the terrace of the restaurant. "Come on Amel, let's go home together," said Ethan who couldn't possibly leave his sister alone at the restaurant.Amel smiled, of course she couldn't possibly interfere with the two of them being together. She then shook her head and said, "Don't worry, Ethan, I'll go with lecturer Malik. In a few minutes he will come to pick me up."Hearing the words from Amel made Ethan nod his head, he then decided to get into Citra's car, considering that Citra brought a car and there was no way if he let her drive alone. He then got into the car after making sure Citra was in the car. He then began to drive the car through the crowded city. While driving, Ethan occasionally turned his head towards Citra, feeling happy that she had accepted his feelings. Even though he had felt that she would not accept his feelings, especially sin

For a long time Ethan waited for Citra's arrival who had yet to show her nose. He really felt worried if she didn't come to see him in the end. Even though he had tried to give his best to her. If she didn't come, what about her? Will he continue to wait like this and not express his feelings? Of course that can't happen. He had to keep expressing his feelings to her and hope that she would come soon and accept his feelings.Amel, who had been beside the man all along, of course knew what the man was worried about. It had been more than 10 minutes since the woman he was waiting for had shown her nose, and he was also afraid that she wouldn't come in the end. But Amel thought that the woman would definitely come, considering that she seemed so worried about her brother's condition and always tried to get close to him. But why she hadn't shown up yet made her feel worried."Why hasn't Citra come yet?" Amel muttered to herself. Her gaze continued to settle on the door of the restaurant,
Chapter 301
Tonight as planned, Ethan and Amel went to a restaurant that the man had booked in advance. Of course, this is because he wants to express his feelings to someone so special. That someone, of course, was none other than Citra. Tonight, he was going to express those feelings to her. He had been harboring his feelings for a long time, and it was time for him to express them. He didn't want her to leave him and choose to be with another man who was more serious. He must choose to be serious before someone else is serious to that woman."How is it, Brother Ethan? Are you ready now?"Of course, Amel as the younger sister of the man agreed with her brother's idea. She certainly wanted to see her brother happy together with the woman he loved. Moreover, she was a good woman who never left her brother under any circumstances, and she liked her very much. Besides being kind, she was also beautiful and very smart. There were so many women who envied that woman, and so many men who wanted to mak

After a few days of hospitalization, Ethan decided to go home because he was now in a better condition than before. His gaze then turned towards a woman who was currently standing not far from him. The woman was none other than Citra who was staring at him while wearing a smile. Of course, Citra knew that this time they decided to go home because last night the man said he no longer felt at home in the hospital. Actually, Ethan still had to be treated in order to be really in good condition, but since he felt uncomfortable in the hospital, inevitably, Citra agreed to the man's request and chose to take care of him when at home. At least the man wouldn't feel bored if he was at home."We're going home now, right, Citra?"The man asked again because he was afraid that suddenly a doctor or nurse would try to get in the way. Ethan already felt tired and shouldn't be in a hospital like this which would only make him more tired. Actually, he wasn't doing anything and wasn't really doing muc

Leona left the hospital with blurred eyes. She really felt sad because she got a rejection from the man who was supposed to be hers. How could that man reject her, after so many men wanted to have her and wanted to make her their lover? But what about that man? Yes, not affected by him at all. He should have had the same feelings as other men when he was close to her. But, unfortunately, that man seemed to have no heart.Leona, who continued to walk and saw nothing, suddenly bumped into a man who was just about to enter the hospital. The man was quite surprised when someone suddenly bumped into him. Luckily, he immediately tried to catch Leona who was about to fall or else she would have fallen on the floor."I'm sorry that I didn't see," Leona said, feeling a little guilty for suddenly realizing that she was trying to make a man fall because of her negligence.Without caring about the man, Leona decided to quickly walk away. In fact, she did not heed the man's calls at all. Meanwhile
Chapter 298
"Ethan, I have something to say to you, Ethan."After a long period of silence where it was just the two of them, Leona felt that this was her chance to express her feelings for him. After all, how long was she going to keep her feelings bottled up? The man in front of her had to know that she actually had feelings and wanted to be in a relationship. Even though he knew that the man liked Citra, but still, he should at least let him know that he had more feelings for the man and hope that those feelings would be reciprocated by the man.Ethan frowned in confusion, looking suspiciously at the woman in front of him. What was the woman going to ask? That is, what did she want to say? There seemed to be something quite important that the woman wanted to say, but somehow she was not ready to listen to it. However, refusing to listen didn't seem like a good idea, so inevitably she chose to nod her head, letting the woman say everything she wanted to say, even though she didn't like what the

"How are you, Ethan? Are you okay?"Leona asked immediately when she was right inside the man's room. It appeared that the man was currently hospitalized, and he was on a bed with a smile on his face, as if nothing had happened to him. Though it was clear that the man had been kidnapped by someone unknown to Leona. She didn't know who had tried to kidnap the man. It seemed like she would ask later after having a short conversation with the man.Ethan smiled as he nodded his head. He knew that Leona had also helped search for him by mobilizing several men, as well as Leo who did not remain silent when he was in danger. The two of them were really instrumental in finding him, making him feel happy to have people close to him who were so kind and willing to look for him when in danger."I'm fine, Leona. Thank you for worrying about me."Leona just nodded her head. The woman decided to put down the fruits she had bought at a shop on the side of the road. She placed it right on the table,

"Where am I?"Ethan's gaze turned right and left, trying to ascertain where he was. Last he remembered, he was in a stuffy warehouse where people were trying to torture him, let alone a fat man who was so creepy. But why was she in a place that was all white, as if it was a hospital? It was because she had come to the hospital before, and had even been a patient. But, how could he be in a hospital like this now? Shouldn't he still be in the warehouse?Those questions kept swirling in his brain until he finally caught the face of someone smiling at him. It was Citra, a woman who was always by his side when he was not well. She smiled as if she was happy to see him awake."Citra, how did I get here? Wasn't I in a warehouse before?" he asked, staring at the beautiful woman whose gaze was currently drawn to him.Citra gave him a smile. She then helped the man to sit up and rested his head right on the back of the bed. "It's a long story, Ethan. But everything is fine now. You're safe now.
