Soon after, one of the three women approached the man, draping her arm around his.

"Darling? Who is this woman? How dare she call herself your lover?"

Mahira's eyes widened upon hearing this revelation. "No, Darling. Please, don't misunderstand. She's just a shameless stranger. She's just a cheap woman who betrayed and cheated on me right in front of my eyes," the man replied, looking down on Mahira.

With the strength she had, Mahira tried to stand up and return the man's gaze. She shifted her gaze to the woman who was now so intimate with her boyfriend.

"What are you talking about, Lucas? Why are you calling her Darling? I'm your girlfriend! Not her!" Mahira asserted, causing the man to smirk at the corner of his mouth.

He seemed to treat the words coming out of Mahira's mouth like trash.

"Girlfriend? Since when have we still been in a relationship, huh?! You're the one who betrayed me, and now you're accusing me of cheating behind your back?"

The man, whose name was apparently Lucas

    Ethan drove his car, carrying a woman who kept shedding tears as if they would never run out.A long sigh escaped his mouth as he occasionally stole glances at the woman who was still busy with her sadness.She seemed to have lost her entire world."Let it go. Staying in a toxic relationship will only harm yourself, Miss."After feeling that the crying was getting worse for quite some time, Ethan couldn't stand it anymore.He then uttered a sentence that managed to catch the woman's attention.The crying stopped for a moment, and at the same time, her gaze turned towards Ethan."What do you mean by saying that, huh?!" Mahira said firmly, seeming to be provoked by Ethan's words.Ethan then shook his head several times, indicating that he had no intention whatsoever towards the woman."I'm just saying what I should say to you, Miss Mahira," Ethan said, not looking at Mahira but staying focused on the busy road ahead.A very clear frown appeared on the woman's forehead as she suddenly na

    Mahira followed Ethan's steps, allowing the man to lead her into his residence."Please, have a seat. I'll prepare a drink for you, Miss Mahira," said Ethan, inviting the woman to sit on one of the sofas in the living room.He asked her to wait there while Ethan apparently requested his sister to keep Mahira company as she looked uncomfortable."But, Bro! You haven't..."Amel tried to protest to the man, but Ethan seemed to give her a look that clearly asked Amel to just comply with his words."Please, understand. Let me get her some water first. After that, I'll tell you everything you want to hear from me. Okay?"Amel sighed, nodding her head to indicate that she was agreeing to everything the man said.The woman sat facing Mahira, giving her an awkward smile."Please drink, Miss Mahira. At least to quench the thirst you must be feeling right now," said Ethan as he offered a tray containing 3 glasses of orange juice.Although Ethan knew it was already nighttime, he felt that in this

    "Are you heading home this morning?" Ethan asked as soon as he saw Mahira coming out of his sister's room.The woman was stretching her body, still blinking her eyes repeatedly.Even though she had already splashed water on her face in the bathroom to freshen up, sleepiness seemed to linger, reluctant to leave her body."Sure. Your office is still in the same direction as my neighborhood. So it'd be good if we go together," said Mahira, making Ethan nod.She seemed no longer awkward with Ethan, offering to help him prepare breakfast that morning."Actually, I can't cook. But if you want me to help you with anything, I can do it for you," Mahira said, looking at the man intently.It was clear how sincere the woman was towards Ethan, offering whatever help she could to him.Ethan smiled and shook his head."No need. You just sit. I'll do everything myself," Ethan declined.As long as he could do everything on his own, he felt there was no reason to ask for help from others."Hmm... is A

    "See you later! Take care on your way!"Mahira raised one of her hands, waving it a few times towards the man who had just dropped her off at home.A sweet smile continued to appear at the corner of her lips as she shook her head several times.She couldn't contain what she was feeling at that moment.Remembering how Ethan had done so much for her made Mahira feel very special at that time."Boo!"Suddenly from behind, someone startled Mahira, who was busy smiling to herself at the side of the road.Mahira, who felt no need to question who did such a thing to her, could only roll her eyes lazily, looking at the woman who was now smiling with her innocent face."Leona! Can't you not surprise me like this?" Mahira asked, feeling lazy to look at that woman.There was always something about her actions that kept annoying Mahira.You could see how that neat and white set of teeth appeared perfectly adorning the woman's grinning face."It's a habit! What if my heart jumps out and I die on t

    Leona arrived, witnessing the interaction between Ethan and the unknown woman. The look in her eyes clearly showed curiosity and questioning about the person standing before her.Her mouth seemed tightly shut, as if she was struggling to continue the sentence she was about to say."Leona?" Ethan echoed as his gaze shifted towards the woman.A long sigh escaped Ethan's lips, as if he had anticipated the situation would become more complicated, especially with Leona now present.Meanwhile, Milena, who was completely unfamiliar with the woman who had barged into Ethan's office, appeared to be displeased.She rolled her eyes, unwilling to engage with the woman."Who are you, barging in like this? Do you think this room can accommodate just anyone? Next time, you need to be more polite. At least knock on the door before deciding to just walk in!" Milena snapped at the woman.Leona seemed to furrow her brow in disbelief at receiving such a response from Milena.A long sigh escaped her lips

    Leona looked at her uncle with a smile that she couldn't help but emerge at the corner of her lips.Her arms were now outstretched, hugging the body of the older man who was with her at the entrance to Ethan's room."Please, Mr. Leo, you can sit here. I'm sorry for the incident this morning. It was actually a rather poor start to the day," Ethan said, feeling uncomfortable with the man due to the chaos caused by Milena.Leo, who also felt that this was not Ethan's fault but rather the woman's overly aggressive behavior towards Ethan, shook his head, indicating that he completely disagreed with the apology Ethan had made."It's alright, Mr. Ethan. After all, this is not your fault. This happened because that woman deliberately caused a commotion by coming here. Don't worry about it," Leo said, indicating that he did not have a problem with it at all.Meanwhile, Leona, the woman, seemed to be still clinging to the older man's arm.She gave the uncle a very sweet smile."Hm.. in that cas

    Ethan headed towards the pantry in his office, then looked at the employees working in that room."Good morning, everyone," Ethan greeted, looking at all of them.The people there seemed surprised, not expecting Ethan to visit their room."Good morning, Mr. Ethan," the people in the room replied in unison.They all lowered their heads, showing how much they respected Ethan.A warm smile appeared perfectly on the corner of Ethan's lips as he looked at the people who didn't seem too busy."Can I ask for your help?" Ethan asked, looking at the people there. Again in unison, they nodded their heads, indicating that they were willing to help Ethan."Yes, sir. What do you need? I'll help you," said one of the employees there.Ethan nodded several times, looking at the people working in his office with a warm gaze. Now he felt happy because they seemed to be working very well."Thank you for responding to me so well. Please make three coffees and bring them to my room," Ethan replied to thos

    "Well, Mr. Ethan? Are you willing to spare some time to accompany Leona? To be honest, I don't know who else to ask for help because you're the only one I trust, Mr. Ethan," said Leo, looking intently at the man who now appeared lost in thought due to his words.Ethan let out a long sigh. He looked at the man and then alternately at Leona, who seemed so hopeful that Ethan would agree to her uncle's request."Me?" Ethan asked, pausing his sentence. He then looked back at Leo, his sharp gaze straight ahead making Leo understand that deep down, the man felt reluctant about what Leo had just said.Honestly, Leo also felt uneasy because he felt like he was forcing the man without considering whether Ethan agreed to his request or not. In any case, Leo was currently in a dilemma. He couldn't possibly ignore his niece's request, considering how much she had done for him."I sincerely apologize to you, Mr. Ethan. But I don't know who else to ask for help. Leona really wants to visit that exhi

    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,

    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

    "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.
