"Thank you for this dinner, Mr. Leo, Miss Leona. Then, if you'll excuse me," Ethan said to the two people in front of his eyes. The smile that was so sweet now rose perfectly at the corners of the man's lips, he tried to hide what he was feeling at that moment. Honestly, since the one sentence question asked by Leo earlier it really made Ethan's mind instantly filled with it. "Be careful, Mr. Ethan. It's quite late at night, drive carefully," Leo ordered the man. Ethan nodded, he immediately stepped away to where his vehicle was parked. Without much ado, Ethan immediately drove his car, got out and left Leo's residence. Fortunately, the streets at night were not too crowded, Ethan was still having trouble controlling his thoughts at that time. "What's really going on right now? Is it true what that Mr. Leo said? Did he say the right thing? The image.. in a moment.. but why does everything feel so fast?" Ethan was still thinking about all the possibilities. At the same time, E

"Good morning, Darling!"Citra, who was standing straight while staring ahead, appeared to ignore the voice calling out to her.Mrs. Merry was seen approaching Citra, getting closer to the woman who seemed lost in thought."Citra..." called the woman gently.Her hand reached out, touching Citra's shoulder, making the woman realize that Mrs. Merry was calling her."Mom?"Mrs. Merry smiled at the woman, making Citra's ambiguous face smile in return.She furrowed her brow in confusion, thinking that her Mom had entered arbitrarily without notifying her."Since when did Mom come here? Why didn't you knock first?" asked Citra, as her Mom usually did what she mentioned.However, this time Citra felt that the woman hadn't done what she said at all."Mom tried knocking on your door repeatedly. But there was no response from you, Citra. That's why Mom just came in now," said Mrs. Merry, making Citra could only nod resignedly.It was visible how the woman's face was filled with an expression as

Throughout the journey home, Amel remained silent. She seemed to be at a loss for words thinking about everything that had happened."I know we can do all of this," said Professor Malik, suddenly expressing his thoughts again.Fortunately, they had managed to escape earlier. Citra had directed them to run through the back door since Martin was the one who arrived.Moving stealthily, they finally managed to get out without Martin noticing them at all."I know we can take that phone and make him lose the digital trail of that video evidence."Amel let out a long sigh, as there hadn't been any agreement expressed by Citra beforehand, making her feel unable to make such a unilateral decision."All this needs Citra's approval first, right? How can we communicate with Citra again when tomorrow they're going through with that wedding, Malik," said Amel, causing the man to pull his vehicle over.He didn't want their serious conversation to be interrupted."This is precisely our golden opportu

Amel closed her eyes for quite a while, strengthening herself before she would tell everything to Ethan.There was no more time now; Amel might still be able to save her brother's relationship."There's something I haven't told you, Brother. About when I was kidnapped by Martin," said Amel, causing Ethan's expression to change drastically.It was visible how the man furrowed his brow, trying to process what the woman meant now.He stared at Amel very intently, indicating that he was waiting for the words that would be uttered by the woman.Amel then gently pulled her brother's hand, leading him to sit on the long sofa where she had slept earlier."I apologize to you for never being honest about all this. Actually, there's a reason why Sister Citra chose to accept her marriage. She could still fight but that man, he wouldn't let Sister Citra resist because he holds a video."Ethan furrowed his brow, looking at Amel with many questions.What was the woman trying to tell him? He didn't u

Citra's heart is still beating fast, not expecting at all if in the end her marriage with Martin will fail. Then what about Amel's video that was still in Martin's hands? That man would definitely not let this go unpunished. He would definitely teach her a lesson, and he might even spread her video.Citra then turned to Amel who was currently beside her. The girl looked sad, probably because lecturer Malik was still there and who knows what happened to the man. She hoped that he would be okay, even though everyone knew that they heard gunshots and screams from Malik, indicating that he was not okay.Seeing Amel who was silent made Citra feel guilty. The girl should not have come along with lecturer Malik, so that right now lecturer Malik was fine and nothing happened to the man that would only hurt Amel."You shouldn't have come, Amel. If you hadn't come, maybe nothing would have happened to lecturer Malik," Citra said, truly feeling guilty. It was all her fault and she shouldn't have

"I'm sorry, Martin. She didn't know she was leaving."Currently, Martin and Citra's parents were discussing what to do next. They both discussed about Citra's departure. It could be seen how Citra's parents felt guilty for what the woman had done. She could have left at such an important event. The wedding was supposed to take place soon, but Citra left with another man.Martin was silent. He tried several times to call Citra and Ethan, but neither of them had any intention of receiving a phone call. In fact, they weren't afraid of the video, as if they were letting it be exposed on social media."What now, Martin? Are we going to look for Citra's whereabouts? Our parents still can't accept this. They were so happy a few hours ago, but all of a sudden Citra is acting up."Martin shook his head. His plan to marry Citra failed. She left fearlessly and left him with another man, who was none other than Ethan."I think I'll order some of my men to look for Citra's whereabouts, Tante," Mar

Guests had started arriving at the huge party, but there was still no sign of his men finding Citra's whereabouts. What if his men didn't manage to bring her? Would he endure the embarrassment in front of some of his business partners?Martin, who was in the middle of the party, tried to find the whereabouts of one of his men who might have reported Citra's whereabouts, but until now no one had come to see him. That made Martin sigh, while some business partners had started to arrive."Damn! How come they haven't given any news until now?"Martin then decided to get out of the party crowd, walked towards the front, then took out his cell phone. Of course he had to call one of his men and find out how they were progressing in their search for Citra's whereabouts."Did you find out where Citra is?" he asked once the phone was connected.However, the information provided by his men made Martin sigh. Apparently, none of his men who were assigned to look for Citra's whereabouts had found h

"Are we going to stay here, Ethan?" Amel asked immediately after being around the beach for a while. The woman was quite bored, especially since she hadn't heard from Lecturer Malik, which made her even more worried. Ethan immediately turned to Citra, where the woman chose to remain silent. After that, he turned to Amel and said, "Yeah, I think we'd better go home."Amel frowned, going home? Was she not hearing it wrong?"Go home? What if Martin's men are still in the apartment? Isn't that dangerous?"Hearing Amel's words, Citra immediately rebutted. "You'd better go home, I can find a hotel," said Citra who certainly didn't want to get them into trouble.Of course Ethan couldn't accept Citra's words. How could he let her stay at a hotel? Of course he couldn't let her."You're coming with us to the village, Citra."Hearing her brother's words made Amel round her eyes. Had she not heard wrong? Did they really decide to go to the village? Then what about Lecturer Malik? Were they going

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,
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

"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.
