VENUS (chapter 42)•••Venus left her house in a rage. She was now at the public cemetery and sat right next to her father's grave."Dad, how are you doing over there? I miss you and mom so much?"Venus tried to refrain from crying. However, as tough as a man was, he was human too, who would cry if he was hurt.Venus stroked his father's tombstone, "father... forgive me for not being filial. In order to return everything to the way it used to be, I had to put mom in prison. I'm sorry for not being able to be filial to father."Although she felt relieved because she had managed to take revenge on Eveline and Mario, it did not completely make Venus happy. That sense of regret was still there, filling her musings."Father always said to me..."'That we as men shouldn't hurt women, let alone harm them. As true men, we should protect women and not the other way around."That's what you always said to me, but after you left, I've hurt many women and even almost killed them out of anger."Th
VENUS (Chapter 43)•••"Arumi!"Frans ran to the room after hearing his daughter's screams. When he got there, Arumi seemed fine, just sobbing a little while holding a cell phone.Frans took a gallant step toward his daughter who was sitting on the bed. "What's wrong, dear? Why were you screaming like that earlier?"Arumi looked up, "Daddy," Arumi whispered with teary eyes. Frans gently stroked his only daughter's hair. "Why, sweetheart? Tell Daddy. Why did you scream earlier?"Arumi picked up the cell phone, pointing the screen at Frans. "Venus didn't reply to my message, she just saw it," Arumi said, pursing her lips. Frans furrowed his brow, out of expression now. "So you shouted earlier because Venus didn't reply to your message?"Arumi nodded, "Yes, Dad. I was upset with her, so I shouted so that Venus would hear me, but I realized she wouldn't hear me."Frans couldn't believe what he was hearing. I wonder what demon has possessed his daughter now?"Even though Venus is online,
"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
"Sorry, Miss."Venus immediately pulled herself away, taking a safe distance from Arumi. Venus' hand was roughly released, leaving Arumi speechless.Silent, mute, transfixed on one point, the young man in front of her who was none other than her Daddy's trusted bodyguard.No less than Arumi. Venus was also caught up in a wave of feelings that felt like a rollercoaster ride.Arumi was still staring silently. Likewise, Venus was distracted by her own thoughts.After a long silence, Venus was ready to speak up to open a new conversation. However, she was outpaced by Arumi."Hahahaha..." At first Arumi pursed her lips to stifle her laughter, but then she started laughing out loud.Venus furrowed one eyebrow, looking questioningly at the laughing beauty.Is there something funny? At least that was the question nagging at Venus' mind."Y-o-u," Arumi spelled, then burst out laughing, so funny was Venus' innocent expression that she couldn't stop laughing until her stomach cramped.Venus resp
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.
