The Smith family is known as a family that doesn't care about other people's feelings.
This family has been rich for generations from their ancestors whose wealth never runs out.
But it's not wealth that underlies Christine's decision to marry Karel Smith.
Christine was very impressed with Karel, who according to her was very kind and liked to joke around, which could make her life colorful.
"Christine Taylor....you are such a stupid woman!" she shouted inside.
Without investigating the Smith family first, Christine simply accepted Karel's proposal, even though at that time her career in a construction company was on the rise with a fantastic salary.
Karel's mother was initially very friendly towards Christine, making it seem as if she had found a warm new family that she believed could lead her to happiness.
Her mother-in-laws started to look strange when she gave birth to Cindy, her first child.
Her mother-in-laws absolutely do not want to hold her grandson, for no apparent reason.
Even the nature of her mother-in-law began to change and away from her.
Cindy was never close to her grandmother, because her mother-in-law didn't like Cindy at all.
Christine had already asked this question to Karel, but Karel's answer didn't satisfy her at all.
"Maybe you want a grandson next time Chris, that's why she doesn't really like Cindy!" replied Karel casually.
"You can't do that, Kar... after all, Cindy is still her granddaughter. I'm also shunned! Actually, what did I do wrong, Kar?" Christine asked curiously.
"You're not wrong, Chris! Mother's character is like that! You are patient, OK? I'm sure my mother's character will change when you give birth to a grandson for her," said Karel explaining the reason.
"Are you sure that's the reason, Kar? I'm really not sure. Did your mother really not like me from the start?" she asked.
"Mom really loved you when we first got married. Don't you remember, Chris? You always bought branded bags and nice dresses so you could mingle with the rest of the Smiths."
"I remember, Kar! That's why I'm confused now. Why did she stay away from me? She doesn't even acknowledge her own granddaughter anymore! I'm so hurt, Kar!" said Christine who could no longer hold back her tears.
"I also don't know why mother's attitude changed towards you, Chris! If I have time, I'll ask mother later!" said Karel.
"Is that right, Kar? I want answers... if I'm wrong, I'll fix it, Kar!" said Christine who started to put hope in Karel.
But Karel's promise was just a promise.
Her husband never dared to ask about this change in her mother's character.
Christine didn't want to add to the problem by asking her mother-in-law directly about this problem. If the mother-in-law's answer hurts her, then the relationship between mother-in-law and son-in-law can crack. This is what Christine always avoids, so she always asks Karel for help.
But this husband is really a man who has no guts at all. Even just asking his own mother, he did not dare either.
The nature of her mother-in-law is getting worse and worse.
Even the maid who usually does household chores in the Smith family was laid off.
All work from washing clothes, ironing clothes, cooking, even cleaning the house is Christine's duty as the only daughter-in-law in this big house.
"Kar ... why are all the housework left to me! I have to take care of Cindy too and breastfeed her. I'm tired Kar, working non-stop from morning to night!"
Christine once launched a strong protest to Karel about this arbitrary behavior of her mother-in-law.
The answer from Karel really disappointed her. Is this the husband she hoped would be her dream husband when she accepted this man's proposal in the middle of his brilliant performance in the company where she worked?
"Mother is just testing you, Chris! Don't keep complaining! Just do what my mother ordered! You're her daughter-in-law, so it's only natural that you're ordered around!"
Christine immediately got mad hearing Karel's answer which was very unfeeling towards her.
"What do you say, Kar! I have to do everything without complaining? I'm not complaining, Kar! I just want my work reduced! I don't have time, even just to breastfeed your child! You don't seem to care at all for Cindy! Why your mother don't like Cindy, so you also don't like your child? Cindy is your own flesh and blood, Kar! How dare you abandon your child!"
"I don't want to argue with you, Chris! My advice, you just do everything mother orders! Don't ever refuse her, mother will hate you even more if you refuse her orders!" replied Karel without feeling.
"I'm not a maid in this house! It's easy for you to talk! I'm an undergraduate! My career and salary are also higher than yours! Now the Smith family treats me like a maid... even a maid is paid by Kar!"
Christine was truly sorry that she had been trapped into the vicious circle of the Smith Family, whose treatment was truly sadistic.
"Never mind! I'm lazy to keep fighting with you! It's always your mother's problem that you talk about! I don't think you're the one who made my mother dislike you as her daughter-in-law!"
Karel even accused Christine of being the culprit of all the problems that befell her. Her husband didn't even listen to what she said.
Her words did not touch her husband's heart at all. much different when Karel proposed to her in a romantic atmosphere.
"You're so sadistic, Kar! I didn't expect Karel, who was once romantic and loving, now he's just a coward and doesn't care about his family at all!"
Christine's heart was broken, because her only hope, namely her husband, to ease the tension between daughter-in-law and mother-in-law, could not be relied upon to solve the problem at all.
Karel desperately defends his mother's treatment of her, without trying to help her to reduce her burden. Even though her husband knew that she was breastfeeding their baby who was only a few months old. If the condition of the body is not healthy, of course breastfeeding will be hampered.
"I no longer want to hear your excuses for constantly blaming my mother. From now on, just live your new life!" said Karel as he left Christine..
Christine patiently tries to live her new life being treated like a maid in the Smith Family's house.
The hope, Karel's words have some truth in that her mother-in-law expects a grandson to carry on the Smith Family name.
But ... everything is not proven.
After giving birth to a son for Karel, her mother in-laws' treatment remained unchanged.
Christine is increasingly shunned by her mother-in-law, only seen as a maid in the Smith family's house.
Jason also never touched. Worse, Karel also didn't pay attention to his son at all.
"Kae... what else should I do to be accepted in your family!" said Christine. "I can't take it anymore, Kar, live like this. It's like living in hell!"
"I don't know Chris! It's up to you what to do! I'm dizzy thinking about your problem over and over again!"
That was Karel's answer, when Christine was getting desperate, and hoped for her support.
Karel's statement that her mother-in-law wanted a grandson from her turned out to be utter nonsense.
Even much worse.
After giving birth to Jason, her mother-in-law began introducing Karel to Bella.
Christine no longer knows where she went wrong that made her life not match her expectations.
The climax, when Karel stated that he would propose to Bella to be his second wife, without divorcing her.
Her husband did not know she even asked her permission to remarry.
"All of you are a family of sadists who are inhumane and never pay attention to other people's feelings. It's a shame that I entered this sadist family!" muttered Christine hurt and full of anger.
Christine was still in her car observing Bella's house which looked very quiet.A very magnificent house for housing in this residential complex."Has the attached grandmother seen the wealth of the Jones Family? It's not like their family is also very rich, what else is there to order with other rich families. Is it really my fault that my mother-in-law doesn't like me very much, even though at first she was happy to have a daughter-in-law like me?"Question after question continued to rage in Christine's mind.Until now she still doesn't know the reason why her mother-in-law don't like her, even down to his grandchildren who are also Karel's blood, her mother-in-law still don't like her."Could it be that the proposal to Bella wasn't made at her parents' house!" she thought.Christine wouldn't be wrong to think that way, because independent Bella can afford to buy her own house.To dispel her doubts, Cindy got out of her car and headed for Bella's house.Cindy was ordered to lock th
Since Bella's proposal was made, this beautiful girl often comes to her parents-in-law's house.Even Bella is very close to Cindy, her daughter."Aunt Bella why do you often come to the house?" asked Cindy one day when Bella came to visit while her husband Karel was at work."Aunt wants to get used to the atmosphere of this house first," Bella replied."What do you mean by conforming?" Christine thought to herself, but with great curiosity.Christine didn't dare to ask Bella anything because her mother-in-laws forbade her to talk to Bella.If she is determined to do it, Cindy's child will always be the target of her parents-in-law's ridicule, which sometimes makes Cindy very depressed.I don't know what the attached grandmother said to her daughter, but what is certain is that Christine can no longer stand living with her parents-in-laws."Cindy! Come here!" Christine called from behind her bedroom door."Mama, why are you hiding! Aunt Bella asked where Mama was?" she said."You try a
The Smith family found out about Christine's escape after they returned from Karel's wedding to Bella.Christine was indeed forbidden by her parents-in-law to participate in the wedding because they thought it could disrupt Karel and Bella's marriage.Christine's rebellion, which does not accept Karel's marriage to Bella, is also a consideration for sending Christine home.The empty house made Heather Smith, Christine's mother-in-law furious.Since Karel married Christine, the maid at the Smith Family's house was dismissed by Heather for no apparent reason.Christine was treated as the Smith Family's maid, and was obliged to do all the work the previous maid did.The reason is corny, wanting to save money inherited from their ancestors.For Haether Smith, daughter-in-law must be able to do all the household chores as she did before. But it wasn't really this reason that made Heather treat Christine like a maid in her big house.Heather's crush on Christine before she married Karel, tu
Alice Smith, mentioned by Andrew Smith, is Karel's younger cousin, at the same age as Bella. Alice's daily life, is just a young girl who loves games and loves shopping. But when it comes to work, this 21-year-old girl can turn into a frightening figure. Her cold gaze and ruthless nature would make her opponent would rather be killed than tortured by this girl. Alice Smith is a member of a black organization that specifically protects entrepreneurs, especially entrepreneurs who are involved in the underworld. Apart from being an expert sniper and shooting, Alice also has quite great martial arts skills. This girl always dresses all in black and wears black glasses when carrying out her duties. But her daily life is the same as an ordinary girl, so no one would have thought that this young girl was one of the best hunters and killers ever. Now, Alice is specially asked by Andrew to track down Christine's whereabouts, which shows how important a Christine is to the Smith Family.
Alice Smith.Just hearing her name made the Smith Great Family tremble.Not only in the Smith Family, Alice was also known in the other Great Families and was highly respected as well.A strange thing, because Alice just turned 21 years old.Alice Smith is the daughter of Alistair Smith who is the younger sibling of Andrew Smith.Unlike Andrew, who studied business at a young age, so he succeeded in establishing Smith Industries, Alistair was more involved in the underworld in his youth.Alistair even married the only daughter of the famous Mafioso leader at that time, Gianluca Bellini, who controlled many cities.Alistair's business spirit also did not fade, by establishing the Smith Corporation which was more engaged in trade.However, Alistair's business is more related to the underworld where he joins.He even had an organization of assassins and bounty hunters called Shadow Heaven, which had several famous assassins and hunters who always successfully carried out their duties.Al
Alice took a leisurely bath using the shower which the bathroom was in her large room. Even after that, this girl still had time to soak in the bathtub while listening to music like an ordinary girl her age.Alice seemed sure she would find Christine quickly without worrying that her prey would run out of town making it difficult for her to track it down.Knock... Knock... Knock...The sound of knocking on her bedroom door was heard by Alice when she came out of the bathroom with only her body wrapped in a white towel.Without wearing clothes first, Alice opened the door to her room, which turned out to be Adam who visited her."Excuse me Miss! Madame said Miss Alice called me?" Adam asked while swallowing hard to see the smoothness of Alice's body which was only wrapped in a towel."You wait, I want to get dressed first!" said Alice as she closed her bedroom door.*****After a while, Alice opened her bedroom door again."Please come in!" she said to Adam.Adam sat on the sofa in Ali
Christine woke up early in the morning to her baby crying.She just realized that she was not at her parents-in-law's house anymore.Cindy, her daughter was still fast asleep. Not bothered at all by the constant crying of her baby brother."I'm so sorry for you guys! Be patient... Mom will fight for your lives to return to normal as before!" Christine resolved to herself.Jason also started to cry less after Christine breastfed him.The owner of the food stall came in briefly to see how Christine was doing."How about you work here for a while? What's your name?" asked the owner of the food stall.Christine, who didn't want people to know her true identity, was forced to lie to the owner of this food stall."Kimberly," answered Christine."I'm Samantha!" said the owner of this food stall."Fine, Kimberly! If you want, you can start work tomorrow! Or do you still want to find your brother's house?" she asked."Sorry Samantha, I can't! I have to leave London as soon as possible, after m
It turns out that Samantha's guess was right.Adam was waiting in front of this food stall while calling Alice to let this girl know that he had found Christine.Samntha's attitude which was considered strange by Adam was enough for him to convince himself that he had found Christine who was in this food stall after visiting several food stalls before.It's just that he couldn't act at the time because there were several lawmen enjoying their morning at the food stall.Alice arrived not long after."How did you see Christine coming out of this food stall?" she asked."I didn't see her outside! There are still a few badged lawmen inside this food stall. If I make a scene, I'm afraid this incident will be exposed to the outside thus messing things up.""You did the right thing, Adam! It's just that you should have left here as soon as you were sure you'd found Christine!" she said."If I go, who will watch over this food stall?" he said."It's precisely because you didn't leave here tha
Alice's tragic death made all of his subordinates frightened by the cruelty of William Shatner. Even though what actually happened was not the case, people only wanted to see it according to their thoughts. This young man who looked quiet and harmless turned out to be the sole heir of the Shatner Family, whose class was far above the Smith Family. The Shatner Family's ruthlessness in business far surpasses that of the Smith Family. In order to protect Christine, who he liked from the start, William was forced to ask his family for help in sending troops to his apartment in Wiltshire. In just a short time, the troops requested by William arrived at his apartment and completely massacred the remaining members of Alice's men who were still left there. Christine cowered in fear at the greatness of William Shatner, who she thought was a jerk who couldn't do anything and was a loner. "Don't be afraid... I'm not what you seem!" William said as he stretched out his hand to wake Christi
Like a story in an action film, the rundown apartment which was originally quiet and ignored by passers-by has now become the center of attention because of the siege carried out by Alice and her men.Local officials chose to remain silent at first because they considered the siege carried out by Alice to be a war between gangs or clans who wanted to control certain areas for their illegal transactions.The local residents also didn't dare to get too close because Alice and some of her men had very dangerous automatic weapons."I'm warning you one last time! Get out of this apartment and hand over Christine and her two children! I just want to take them home to the Smith Family!"Alice again threatened William who was in the apartment, because she herself was still hesitant to break in.William, who had received military training and was a mainstay of the Shatner Family, was very frightening to Alice even though she tried to overcome him."Shall we go in, Miss Alice! They won't give u
"Don't worry... I will deal with that murderous girl!" said William Shatner calming Christine and Abigail, after this man began to calm himself.Alice finally finds out where Christine is hiding in William's shabby apartment."I have nothing to do with you, William! Give me what I ask and we'll be fine!" shouted Alice."How does this girl know you, Bill?" Abigail asked again, even though William Shatner had previously indicated that this man knew Alice."I'm confused too, Abs!" Christine said."Go home, Alice! I don't want to kill you!""Kill me? You're too confident, William! I don't want our big family's feud to get worse with your death!""Did you know that there is a big feud between the Smith Family and Shatner, Chris?" asked Abigail."I just found out from Alice now! I rarely see Alice either!" said Christine."I thought I knew Bill well but apparently I was wrong! I didn't know his background at all, or I didn't want to know!" said Abigail.Alice also seemed careful when dealin
"Chris, you better stay temporarily in Albert's apartment with your children!" said Abigail. "Don't leave the apartment yet. I've asked Bill's permission for you to stay here temporarily!"Christine was of course confused by Abigail's mysterious attitude.If she had bad thoughts, maybe Abigail was gently kicking her out of her parents' house."What's wrong Abs, aren't you usually like this?" Christine asked.Abigail was silent with a slightly pale face and trembling body."If you don't like me and the kids staying at your house, I'll look for an apartment, Abs!" said Christine."That's not the problem, Chris!" Abigail exclaimed."So, what's the problem?" Christine asked."I heard that there was a girl from town who was looking for you! Turns out after I confirmed it, that girl was Alicia!" said Abigail."Alicie is here? How does she know I'm here?" Christine asked."Maybe he's just guessing! I'm worried she'll come home and find your kids, Chris!" said Abigail."I have to get out of W
A lonely man named William Shatner still looks engrossed in his solitude in the corner of the garden in front of the apartment where Abigail works.In fact, this man didn't seem to care when Abigail and Christine approached him."Are you sure you're not mistaken, Abs?" Christine asked."Why?" Abigail asked back.'It doesn't seem like he cares about us at all!' Christine said."If you want to work for him, you have to understand his character, Chris!" Abigail exclaimed."How will I know what to do if you won't even talk to me!" said Christine."Patience, Chris! You haven't even worked on him yet, you already have feelings like this!" said Abigail."I find it difficult to work with an arrogant boss like him!" exclaimed Christine."Not wanting to talk and being arrogant are different things, Chris! Do you want this job or not?" asked Abigail.Christine just shrugged her shoulders.Abigail approaches William Shatner to talk to him."Bill... so you don't hire someone to clean?" asked Abiga
"The apartment where you worked was nice too, Abs!" said Christine, whose anger had subsided and seemed to be enjoying the trip to the city center."The apartment or the man sitting alone in front of the apartment?' teased Abigail.'You're crazy, Abs! I'm not divorced from Karel yet!" exclaimed Christine. "After all, who could be attracted to an annoying man like that?""But you want a divorce, right?" asked Abigail."The Smith family won't let me divorce Karel!" Christine said."So what will your status be like, Chris?" Abigail asked again."I don't know, Abs! I'm confused! I'll focus on looking for work to support the children first, other matters aren't important to me now. There's no way I can stay at your house all the time, Abs!" Christine said."I don't mind, Chris! My parents' house is quite big!""I have to be independent, Abs! Thank you for the offer, but I can't live by hitchhiking all the time!""It's up to you, Chris! My door is always open for you!""I know, Abs! Thanks
Christine was very grateful that Abigail was sincere in helping her, even though she had not had contact with her best friend for a long time."What work plans do you have here in Wiltshire, Chris?" Abigail asked while they were sitting in the garden behind Abigail's house."I don't know yet, Abs! Karel has detained my diploma, so I can't work in an office anymore!" Christine said."How about I find you a job? But you know how it is to work in a small town," said Abigail."I don't mind manual labor, Abs! As long as it can provide for me and my two children, that's a blessing for me!""Where do you work, Abs?" Christine asked."I'm just a guard at an apartment at the end of town!" Abigail answered."Is there an empty apartment where you work, Abs? Maybe when I'm already working, I'll just move into that apartment! I can see you every day, Abs!" Christine said."Do you want to see the apartment where I work? You can entrust the children to my mother! She likes looking after small childr
The bus Christine was traveling in drove quietly down the highway.It takes about an hour for the bus journey from London to Wiltshire.Christine felt reassured that she had managed to escape the pursuit of the Smiths for the time being.Visiting Abigail in Wiltshire was the best choice for Christine because the Smith family never knew where Abigail was when her wedding did not come.Abigail, who is her best friend, is furious when Christine decides to leave her job and her rising career to accept Karel's proposal, which Abigail also doesn't like.According to Abigail at that time, Karel was not the type of husband who was loyal and could act decisively because he was always under his mother's shadow, but Christine did not want to listen to Abigail's advice which made her best friend leave her and return to her hometown in Wiltshire.Christinee had not heard from her best friend since she got married.Only, Christine had visited Abigail's hometown in Wiltshire when they were still fri
It turns out that Samantha's guess was right.Adam was waiting in front of this food stall while calling Alice to let this girl know that he had found Christine.Samntha's attitude which was considered strange by Adam was enough for him to convince himself that he had found Christine who was in this food stall after visiting several food stalls before.It's just that he couldn't act at the time because there were several lawmen enjoying their morning at the food stall.Alice arrived not long after."How did you see Christine coming out of this food stall?" she asked."I didn't see her outside!
