"Persuade me?" asked Arumi as she walked over to Frans and Venus who were looking at each other. "So you want to bribe me, is that it?" Arumi then asked.Being asked such a question made Venus awkward, especially since Arumi continued to squeeze her until she was only a few feet away."Then Daddy will go first. The driver is waiting there," Frans argued and left without another word.Arumi looked sharply at the man who became her first love. Venus immediately took advantage of Arumi's negligence."I have to warm up the car engine, Miss. I'll leave first," Venus said in a hurry.Instead of being able to scold Venus, Arumi was left behind. "Heumm... What a bitch." Arumi stomped her foot a few times, then puffed up her cheeks in a grumble that her bodyguard could clearly hear.Venus let out a long sigh, "Why do women look so scary when they're upset? Scary enough to beat the demons in horror movies," she muttered as she started the car engine.Arumi took a deep breath, then let it out s
VENUS (chapter 1)"Father!" A twenty-five year old man was running very fast, down the hospital hallway. Fifteen minutes ago, he was given the news that his father had breathed his last at the public hospital. Venus just went straight from work to the hospital which was only fifteen minutes away by public transportation. "Dad! Where is dad?!" Venus gave an intimidating look to the people standing in front of the emergency room. Their faces showed sad, tired expressions, basically showing deep sadness. Venus did not necessarily believe the news of her father's death. He hurriedly asked for an official statement from the forty-five year old man, who was his uncle. "Where is father now?! Don't try to trick me! My father is healthy, it's impossible for him to get sick and die! You must have conspired to kill him!" Venus snapped in a high pitched voice, in front of her uncle who should have been respected. The forty-five year old man remained silent, allowing Venus to express her emot
VENUS (Chapter 2)"What did Uncle do? Why did you stop me from killing the Witch? Maybe Uncle liked the Witch, so Uncle fought me to save her!" accused Venus, smiling sarcastically, with narrowed eyes. The adult man known as Mallory immediately grabbed the monkey's clothes. His emotions flared like a volcano ready to spill its lava. Like that, Mallory hit her nephew's face blindly. "Once again you call her a witch, so don't blame me if I never think of you as my niece again!" Mallory's screams thundered throughout the room. Eveline sobbed almost out of breath due to Venus's giggling earlier. However, there was a feeling of joy when he saw Mallory defending him. "Calm yourself, Eveline. Drink this!" Kezia, her younger sister, had brought a glass of water to calm Eveline down. Eveline and Kezia were born from different mothers, but still have the same father. His mother Eveline, first wife. This status makes Kezia call Eveline her sister, even though she is five years older than Ev
VENUS (Chapter 3)Brugh... Venus also broke down the door of her own house. The family who were still gathered there, including Mallory and Eveline, were shocked beyond words by Venus' rude arrival. Venus took her gallant steps towards Eveline there. Her eyes were swollen from crying over her husband's departure. Venus didn't care that all pairs of eyes were looking at her. He was possessed by a desire for revenge. "What do you want to do, Venus?!" intercepted an adult man in front of him. Venus, don't budge. His hand swung, sweeping, removing the man from his path. "Venus!" Mallory also muffled. Immediately he got up from his place because he was furious to see Venus again showing her prowess in front of the crowd. Before Mallory could throw a hard punch, Venus had already caught her uncle's hand, blocking the blow with one hand. His head was slightly raised, his gaze was blank and full of blind anger. Mallory swallowed a little hard when she saw Venus as if she was possessed
VENUS (Chapter 4)Venus looked directly at Eveline, "You and your family better leave my house right now! If not, then my hands will do the talking!" Venus clenched her fists tightly, as well as threatening Eveline and her family who were present there. This is not just a threat or just a lie, but what he said is really true. Eveline didn't move. In his heart, he really wanted to avenge his stepdaughter's treatment. However, Eveline was silent. Not because they didn't dare to fight, but someone's voice had changed the atmosphere of the room to become more tense. "On what basis did you kick Mrs. Eveline out of her own house! Meanwhile, you, Venus, no longer have any rights to the late Mr. David's property!" shouted that person, which was able to make all pairs of eyes turn to him. Every step he took made his eyes hold their breath. However, this did not apply to Venus, who was caught clenching her fists and breathing heavily. "Mr. Mario," said Mallory, breaking the silence there.
VENUS (Chapter 5)Venus has been far from home. Now he walks without any definite destination. Who knows where he should go? If he remembers, there was no one else he trusted besides Mallory. If the uncle he trusted so much didn't care or pity him, why would he go to someone else who clearly never thought he existed. Venus' steps faltered. Venus couldn't walk properly because her consciousness was starting to disappear completely. However, he tried to keep his mind clear to stay awake. Venus would have reached the highway, if she had continued walking a few more meters. There was an intention to stay at a friend's house, but Venus just remembered that she didn't have any friends, let alone best friends. "Ah, why is my life always ready? First I was kicked out of work, then the inheritance was taken by the Witch and her gang. Now they must be partying and cheering for joy. Meanwhile I... Here, alone without friends or money. They "It's fun dancing there. I'm sure they must be party
VENUS (Chapter 6)One month later. Venus' condition is better. Very good in fact. His physique has recovered and the scars on his face and other parts of his body are starting to improve. "How are you, is there still pain?" asked a man named Frans Hadiningrat, to Venus who was busy exercising physically in the backyard of the mansion. "It's getting better, sir. My condition is better than before. Thank you because Mr. Frans wanted to help me. If Mr. Frans wasn't there at that time, who knows what my fate would be now," replied Venus, as she put down the wooden block she used to practice earlier. on the table. Frans patted Venus on the shoulder, smiled and said, "I am also grateful to you, Venus. So far I have never felt calm, but after I got to know you, my life feels more relieved and protected." Frans also invited Venus to sit in another corner of the courtyard of his mansion. Venus complied with this wish. During her stay here, Venus never once denied what Frans said. There wa
VENUS (Chapter 7) The next day. Frans asked Venus to take him to the airport. According to the schedule, today Frans' daughter, who lives in Germany, will return to Indonesia. Therefore, Frans had been preparing since early morning. "You can drive, right?" Fran asked ensure. "Of course, I can drive, sir. While working as a construction worker, I was often invited to be a car driver and learn to drive a little bit," explained Venus. "That's good then. Today you'll just drive. We'll go to the airport to pick up my daughter who came from Germany," asked Frans without thinking anymore. Venus gaped, "Driving, to the airport? Now? But, I don't have a driver's license, sir. That would be against the rules." The statement that came out of Venus' mouth was true and it was not wrong for her to say that. However, it wouldn't be Frans Hadiningrat if he couldn't make the impossible possible. "This is your driver's license." Frans handed over an object in the shape of a card like an i
