The System of Power is Money Chapter 141
Ethan returned to work as usual.Previously, he had also bought a lot of food for his sister so that the girl wouldn't need to go anywhere else to find her meals.The shelf that Citra had once bought for the girl was now filled with many snacks.Ethan had even bought heavy meals for the girl."Is anything missing?" asked Ethan as he looked at the watch on his wrist.Amel then shook her head, indicating that she didn't need anything else."It's fine, if you want to leave, just go. I'm okay. I can manage on my own," said Amel, reassuring the man.Ethan, who was still worried about his sister, felt reluctant to leave her alone in the apartment.But, to ensure that the girl would always be safe and not need to be worried about excessively, Ethan then decided to lock the apartment door from the outside.There was no other reason for Amel to go out anyway. So, if the girl was detained, there wouldn't be any side effects either."Alright. Take good care of yourself while I'm gone. Oh yeah, I

Nike returned to his office feeling irritated.For the time being, he had to work alone again because Citra was reportedly being quarantined in her room, according to Mrs. Merry.Nike actually wanted to protest and try to talk so that the woman wouldn't be confined like that. However, his arguments were always easily refuted by that woman."I don't know what to do anymore. Everything about me is now ruined in Citra's eyes. I will lose her trust completely. No! I don't want to lose that woman."Honestly, Nike didn't want his relationship with Citra to end at all. He always hoped that their sibling bond would remain intact, forever.However, everything seemed too late. Now Nike understood the reason why that woman no longer wanted to talk to him at all.His name was clearly tarnished due to the leak of secrets about the theft and the plan that originally came from Mrs. Merry."I think I need a cup of coffee to calm this noisy mind," Nike muttered softly.Nike walked away, out of his roo

Ethan sighed deeply.The message sent by Milena last night was really bothering his mind right now.It was difficult for Ethan to refocus on the computer screen in front of him."No. What am I thinking? Didn't I say I was okay with all this? Then, what else should I be worried about?"Ethan tried to guide himself to refocus on what he should be doing right now.A rather long sigh escaped his mouth, managing to give a little peace in his heart."Enough, Ethan. You don't need to think about her anymore. Maybe, this is indeed the path she chose. You and she are also very different, like sky and earth that clearly can't be united," Ethan muttered briefly, making him fall silent.Why did he suddenly say such a thing?Ethan tried to focus on his computer screen before finally a voice greeted him, making Ethan unable to think clearly anymore."Ethan!"The man then raised his face to find Milena already standing and waving her hand towards Ethan.A rather long sigh escaped his mouth, feeling

A few hours earlier...Citra was in the makeup room, preparing for the event that would start in a few hours.Since earlier, not a single word had come out of her mouth.Citra had truly kept her mouth shut tight, not saying a single word since before.Only heavy sighs kept coming out of her mouth."Is there anything you'd like to add or remove, Miss?" asked the makeup artist to Citra.The woman remained completely silent, giving no response whatsoever, leaving the makeup artist with no choice but to resignedly continue her job until it was finished.There were no specific makeup requests made as usual. It was certain that Citra was entrusting everything to the makeup artist, or more accurately, Citra had no interest in the current event, allowing herself to appear as carelessly as possible.A few minutes passed, and Citra's makeup was finally done.Now it was time for Citra to change clothes."Come, Miss. I'll help you put on your dress," said the makeup artist, intending to assist th

Citra now ended up back in her room.A rather long sigh escaped her mouth, her memory kept bringing her to Ethan's surprised expression because she clearly defended him."I'm sorry. It seems I've lost. I wish you were the one in that position, not Martin."Citra muttered in her heart, shedding tears as her heart felt sad along with those words echoing in her mind.Currently, Citra was forced to wear that dress under the direct supervision of her mother.Mrs. Merry seemed unwilling to take her eyes off the woman, watching her so closely as if not wanting to let her out of sight."Give beautiful ornaments to her hair. If possible, add butterfly decorations. Make this night an unforgettable one for my daughter. Don't let there be any more tragedies like earlier. Understand?"Mrs. Merry warned her daughter's stylists. Meanwhile, Citra could only sigh deeply, unable to do anything because she was indeed no longer trusted by that middle-aged woman."I hope. God also opposes my relationship

Citra let out a long sigh.Now, she had to go downstairs and face many people for the main event of the party held in that grand and magnificent building.The embroidery that had transformed the once empty space into such luxurious and stunning decorations failed to touch Citra's heart.Her face remained expressionless, showing no happiness on what should be a rather historic day in her life.An engagement wasn't much different from the sacred ceremony of marriage; they would remember and immortalize this moment.But not Citra. She felt nothing at all, and even wished to forget this time."Would the bride please stand next to the groom," the host instructed Citra.Everyone seemed to praise Citra's stunning appearance, but some also noticed her completely flat expression, showing no regard for her special engagement day."Now, the groom may place the ring on the bride's finger first."Martin smiled with joy, taking the ring to place on Citra's finger."You look so beautiful, Citra. I a

Amel appeared nervous, finding it difficult to express herself to the man in front of her.Even swallowing her saliva seemed to require a great deal of strength.The sharp gaze Ethan gave her made Amel feel she had no other choice.It seemed she really had to tell Ethan the truth."I'm sorry, bro."Amel lowered her head, her voice weakening, causing Ethan, who was emotional at that moment, to lower his tone.Slowly, the sound of crying began to be heard, causing Amel's body to visibly shake, rising and falling with the rhythm of her sobs."Forgive me, bro."Those were the only words that kept coming out of Amel's mouth. She said it over and over, leaving a big question mark in Ethan's mind.What had actually happened? Why was Amel behaving like this? What was the reason behind the tears and repeated apologies from her mouth?A rather long sigh then escaped his mouth, trying to calm the woman's unceasing tears."Listen to me... tell me everything clearly so I can understand. Whatever h

Citra stared at her bedroom ceiling, which seemed more interesting than her surroundings.Her gaze hadn't shifted for a while.This was followed by a long sigh escaping from her mouth.Images of the events surrounding her engagement swirled in her head.Some time ago, when she and her family had just returned from the engagement venue.They had gotten into an argument when they were in the living room.Citra was no longer willing to stay quiet and resigned. She put up resistance when she felt let down by her own parents."No more objections. You must get ready because Mama and Martin's parents have prepared the wedding for you and Martin," Mrs. Merry said firmly, sounding like she didn't want to be argued with.Citra shook her head repeatedly, rejecting the words of the middle-aged woman."Enough, Ma! Stop controlling every aspect of my life. Have you ever thought about how I feel? Do you have any consideration for all of this? Am I really your child or not?"Citra hoped that her word

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
Chapter 302
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,

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.
