The System of Power is Money Chapter 96
A long sigh escaped Citra's mouth.In her current state of uncertainty, she continued driving her car aimlessly, wherever it could go.She didn't know where to go now. Her mind felt blank, all the feelings in her heart turning cold and untouchable again, just like before.Citra tried to remember the last time she felt so happy, celebrating that happiness until it ultimately ended up destroying her.The corner of her lips curved into a bitter smile.Citra closed her eyes, taking a deep breath to try and control her unstable emotions."Argh! Why did everything have to turn out like this?! Why do you keep torturing me with all this pain?! Why does God always punish me?! What great sin have I committed for you to do all this to my life, God?!"Her thoughts spiraling out of control, Citra began to question the fate God had created for her.The happiness that people always said would come to those who remember God and are grateful for His trials was nowhere to be felt by Citra right now.Sh

Amel put down the pen and paper on her bedside table, leaving it as a message for her brother to find.After long consideration, Amel had decided to go through with this plan.Perhaps Amel's absence for a while would allow Ethan to think more calmly.Amel wanted to make the man realize that the strength of his love for Citra would prove that she wasn't truly guilty.She knew Ethan still had doubts about everything. But his massive ego prevented him from controlling himself.Ethan would only heal with help from himself, when he could reflect and become calmer.That's why Amel decided to leave, so the man would lower his ego."I'm sorry, Ethan. I have to do this for our future good. I don't mean to make you miserable or get revenge for Citra's pain because of your actions. But I'm doing this because I care about you. I'm sure you'll understand when I'm gone from your life too," Amel muttered as she shouldered her backpack to leave.She had packed some clothes and was wearing a mask and

Citra looked uncomfortable as the bright sunlight now pierced sharply into her eyes.She tried to avert her gaze, looking for a place where she wouldn't face the sun directly.However, suddenly someone pulled open the curtains covering the bedroom window, letting the bright light flood into her room."Ah! Can't you see I've been trying to avoid it? Come on, close those curtains again!" Citra ordered, trying to cover her face with the pillow and bolster there.A man's voice clicked his tongue, making Citra try to fight against the bright light."It's not good to keep wallowing in your sadness. Come on, let's go! We're going jogging together this morning," suggested the man, who was none other than Nike.He tried to wake the woman up. Her dark under-eye circles were clearly visible, indicating she hadn't slept since last night.She had just been crying, feeling sad about what had happened in her life."No. I don't want to go anywhere this morning. I just want to live in peace. You go an

Amel woke up from her sleep, looking at the clock that showed it was already 9:30 AM.She let out a long sigh. It was so late, but Richard still hadn't woken her up.He should have woken her even if she was still sleeping soundly.In this situation, Amel felt awkward as a guest who had just arrived and was staying there."I'll scold him. It's weird that he didn't wake me up," Amel muttered, feeling annoyed.Currently, Amel was sleeping in the man's room while Richard had decided to sleep on the couch in the living room.He didn't want to make Amel feel uncomfortable while she was in his apartment.Before going to see the man, Amel first went into the bathroom to wash her face to freshen up.She also made sure to brush her teeth.After finishing everything, Amel, now ready, left the man's room.A smile appeared on her face when she found the man in the kitchen of his apartment.Just as Amel was about to open her mouth to greet him, she suddenly stopped when she saw the man receiving a

Citra stretched all the muscles in her legs, which felt tight because she hadn't gone jogging like this in a long time."Weak. Just from that, you're already giving up," said Nike as he handed a bottle of water to the woman.Ignoring the man's words, Citra rolled her eyes lazily, choosing to gulp down the water until it was almost gone."I haven't done a morning routine like this in a long time. It's natural that I get tired faster than you," Citra replied sarcastically.The man could only laugh, making fun of the woman."Come on! Let's go back home," said Nike, inviting the woman to leave.Citra, who was actually still feeling tired but didn't want to be considered weak again by the man, then strengthened herself to stand up straight and walk away with him."A woman must be strong, don't be weak and easily mistreated by others," said Nike during their morning run.Citra could only focus on the road ahead, feeling like she wanted to faint right then and there."Want to order an online
The System of Power is Money Chapter 101
Ethan parked his vehicle at a restaurant that seemed quite far from his apartment. Beside him in the passenger seat was a girl about his sister's age."Is this the place?" Ethan asked, turning to the girl.With an innocent face and breath just starting to steady, Natalia nodded, unbuckling the seatbelt that had restrained her.She trailed right behind Ethan, following wherever his footsteps took him.Ethan walked into the restaurant, scanning the area to take in the scene, trying to find his sister or any suspicious people.Nothing. Instead of getting information about his sister, Ethan was approached by a waiter.She carried a pen and other items, assuming Ethan would be a customer at the restaurant."Excuse me, but I'm looking for my sister. Did you see a girl being dragged by some big guys out front earlier?" Ethan asked the woman.The waitress furrowed her brow, trying to remember what she had seen a while ago, before finally shaking her head."No, sir. I don't think I saw any com

Ethan looked at the clock on the wall of his room.It was exactly 8:45 PM, but Ethan still hadn't moved from his seat. There were many dilemmas and doubts that Ethan felt at this moment.How could he not, what was said by a man behind the bathroom, who seemed to be the CCTV guard, kept echoing in Ethan's mind, remembering it."Is it possible... he's connected to all this?" Ethan muttered, furrowing his brow.A rather long sigh was heard coming out of his mouth, making Ethan then rub his face roughly.He then leaned back in his chair, straightening his head up, looking at the ceiling of his room."It seems there's something wrong indeed. I have to check it myself," Ethan muttered, convincing himself.Ethan then steeled his heart, straightened up and walked towards the outside of his room.The man seemed to be walking towards where the CCTV room in his office was located.The CCTV guard was seen sitting in front of that room while leaning back with a lit phone in his hand.Ahem!As soon

Ethan stared intently at the man in front of him.They were now in the CCTV room. The man was seen opening each CCTV that contained recordings."Were you here on the night of the incident? Did you see anyone wearing this hoodie?" Ethan asked in his characteristic intimidating tone. He seemed to place hope in the man, if only he could provide an answer to Ethan.The man fell silent before finally shaking his head, indicating he didn't know.A long sigh escaped Ethan's mouth. Once again, his hopes dissipated into thin air while reality continued to slap him with the fact that everything wasn't as he had expected."Then, what did you mean by the word 'betray' earlier?" Ethan asked suspiciously.The man, who was now facing away from him, remained silent, making Ethan suspicious of what was happening with him."Actually, there was a malfunction with this CCTV that day, sir. I apologize, but at that time, the repair money for this CCTV had quite a large excess for me. I didn't return it to

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
Chapter 299
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.
