"Realize Barbara, Gama may look bad right now, but who has helped our family? Who has kept me patient and mentally strong since Grandpa and Dad died? Gama has always been there for me. Not just for me, she's been there for everyone in this house, including you, your husband, and your son. Do you see her? No, you didn't! You were blind to it, blind to everything Gama did. You can't see it because of your selfishness!" Sierra forgot all her emotions. Until her breath caught. Then Sierra continued.
"And now, when Gama has a problem, you demean and insult her. You even want her to leave this house. Don't you have a heart and feelings for her? You only think about your reputation. You're such a hypocrite!"
"Siera!" shouted Audie.
PLAK...
A hard slap landed on Sierra's cheek, leaving regret on Audie's face.
"Si-Sierra ...."
Gama was quite surprised to see her. She wanted to go to Sierra but decided against it when she heard Sierra speak again.
"Slap! Slap Sierra again ma'am! And may that slap make you realize that my and Gama's marriage is a mandate from Grandpa. It's a big sin if we break it. Grandpa is your in-law, mom. He loved all of you very much during his lifetime, so please honor his last words as a final sign of our respect for him." Sierra pleaded with tears streaming down her face.
"Why should we honor someone like your grandfather, Sierra? Look at our lives, we are now poor. Grandpa left nothing for us. They took over everything. That's not fair. It's all because of your grandfather, your father, the husband you defended. Wake up, Sierra. Gama doesn't deserve you; she's just a disgrace to our family," Audie said accusingly.
"Mom, Gama-"
"Shut up, Gama!" Audie interrupted, snapping, glaring hatefully. "You have no right to talk anymore!" Audie's gaze showed hatred.
"Mom, we all know why we are like this. It's not our father's, grandfather's, or Gama's fault. It's their fault for taking what is rightfully ours. They are bad people, mom."
Still angry and shaken from the previous conversation, Audie issued a firm request. Her eyes were filled with anger and disappointment as she said, "I don't care; all I know is that you should divorce Gama and then marry Jordan. If you refuse, don't ever think of me as your mother again!"
Audie walked away with steady steps, leaving Sierra with a difficult choice. Silence fell over the room, and Sierra felt a heavy emotional weight.
Sierra stood on the windowsill, staring blankly out the window.
Gama, who saw Sierra in a state of indecision and hurt, felt a deep pain. She could bear the reproaches and insults of others, but seeing the woman she loved hurt in her heart was something she could not accept.
With eyes full of determination, Gama spoke to Sierra, "I swear on your behalf, Sierra. These are the last tears of sorrow you will shed for me, and the next tears will be tears of joy."
Sierra turned her head, looking at Gama sadly.
Gama walked over to Sierra while looking into her blue eyes filled with sadness, causing great pain in her heart. Then she wiped Sierra's tears on her cheeks, and without any disgust, Gama swallowed the tears on her fingers.
Gama's aura suddenly dominated, making Sierra attracted to Gama's handsome face. Thick eyebrows, a sharp nose, and a firm jaw dominated Gama's thin-haired face. His brown eyes made Sierra unable to look away.
They had been married for six years, but only now did Sierra realize her husband's good looks.
"I-I-"
Gama cut off Sierra's words by placing her index finger on her lips, silencing her sentence. Those round blue eyes blinked repeatedly, and Game couldn't resist kissing them. A soft peck landed on Sierra's closed eyes.
"I'll give you happiness; keep away the bad things that will make you hurt. And I'll also give you anything you want, even the world. But give me one chance to change everything."
Sierra looked at Gama and replied. "I don't want anything, Gama. I want to be respected by everyone. Not be belittled and made fun of like I am now. I'm tired, I'm tired, Gama. I want everyone to bow down to us. I want them to know that we don't deserve to be belittled," Sierra's voice sounded hoarse as if she was carrying a burden in her heart because of the insults of the people who had belittled her due to Gama's failure to maintain her company.
"Alright, I'll grant all your requests. Give me time; it won't take long, but I'm sure I can take you to the top of the world." Gama replied confidently.
"What are you going to do, Gama?"
"I'm going to do something that will change our lives in your favor."
"What does that mean?"
Gama didn't answer; she let go of Sierra's hand and walked away.
"Hey, where are you going?" Audie asked in a snapping tone as he saw Gama pass in front of him.
"Are you leaving? Did Sierra kick you out already? Good. But before you go, sign the divorce papers first!"
Audie continued to yell, but Gama ignored him and continued walking, leaving Audie to wonder
What happened to that boy? How strange.
The dark, deserted alley became bright when a Rolls-Royce, escorted by several Lamborghinis, stopped before a shabbily dressed man.A well-built man in a black suit stepped carefully out of the lead car. He escorted a beautiful woman out of the Rolls-Royce. The woman scanned her surroundings, her gaze falling on a shabbily dressed young man behind her. That man was none other than Gama. Full name: Gama Immanuel Featherston, the grandson of E'Ador's wealthiest noble, Featherston Grub. He survived for six years to avoid his family, trying to live independently and not depend on the family who had expelled him and his mother six years ago. The grief of losing her beloved husband made the mother unable to survive and choose her own path.And now she decided to return for the happiness of the only person she loved in this world, Sierra."Young Master, I am coming. Are you sure of your decision?" Lopiuy made a critical sound, confirming the decision he had heard earlier."Yes, I am," Gama
But Gama's handsome face was still in her mind. Sierra leaned her head on the desk hard, feeling annoyed and frustrated at being unable to forget Gama's face.Behind the closed door, Gama heard Sierra's words and smiled happily, although she felt guilty for giving Sierra false hope."I'm sorry, Sierra. Maybe there is a better time. Wait until you love me," Gama thought. ***The next day, an urgent order from Sierra made Gama respond quickly, rushing to get the file from Sierra's desk and delivering it to the office. Audie who saw Gama, "Where are you going?" he asked in a high tone and sharp gaze."I'm going to Sierra's office, ma'am. Sierra left her files with me, and I need to deliver them immediately," Gama explained."Files? Files on the Featherston Group partnership?" Audie asked again,"Featherston?" Gama quickly checked. His lips smiled at that, and a plan came to mind."Gama, why are you silent?" The question surprised Gama. "Ha? Yes, ma'am. Right." he replied nervously."
"You don't need to show me anything because I've already given this entire project to you." Sierra was stunned for a moment. Her soul seemed to float when she heard that. "Really? Oh, well, I see." Sierra's face was filled with despair. There seemed to be something wrong. Sierra's expression did not show happiness. "You're not happy about getting this project?""No, I'm fine." Sierra denied it even though her face showed disappointment."I accepted your offer; we will work together. You should be happy. Isn't this what you came here for? So what's with your expression?"Sierra furrowed her brows. "Expression? Project? What does that mean?" Sierra's face lit up."Yes, we've decided; your company is the only one to get the contract for this project. And here is the contract. I've prepared everything; please study it and contact me if there's anything you don't understand." A stack of files was in front of Sierra, making it difficult for her to react.Sierra's face showed great surpri
"Good, I admit you're good at acting. You did it perfectly; what a well-organized plan. But unfortunately, I am not easily fooled. You're doing this just to gain sympathy from me, right?Jordan's hateful words affected Audie's mind."Is that true, Gama? Are you doing this just to get sympathy from me? Don't even dream about it. Even if Giorgio really did what you allege, I will still ask Sierra to divorce you. Now sign this!" Audie handed back the agreement."Hurry up, Gama. It's not like we had a deal; you said so yourself." Jordan reminded."When did I say that? You should have kept your word, stayed away from Sierra.""Whatever it is, you don't care. Now, just sign this paper and get out of my house.""But, Mom, we have to wait for Sierra. Sierra has to know about this because it concerns her, too, as you have heard. Sierra doesn't want a divorce from me; that's Grandpa's mandate.""I don't care. Sierra is my daughter, and the decision is mine.""What decision?""What decision?" Si
"I was looking for the employment agreement; I forgot where I put it. I've looked everywhere, but it's not there." She said as she continued to search."Didn't you show it to Jordan last night? You put it on the table, then we left." Gama explained. Hearing that, Sierra rushed to the living room. She searched again but still didn't find it."Not there either; where is she? Did you see the cooperation agreement file that I handed over last night? I put it here last night. I forgot to take it, and now it's not there." Sierra couldn't mask her panic."I didn't see it; I was too shocked by Gama's rudeness," she explained.Gama, who heard her, only looked at Audie indifferently."Brother Gio, did you see it?" Sierra asked again.But her older sister's husband also replied curtly, "No, I didn't see it. My mind was too busy soothing my wife, who was upset with your husband's behavior."Sierra looked at Gama, seeking an explanation for what Giorgio had said."Maybe Gama hid it." Barbara accu
"Sorry, is it that easy for you to apologize? You are a shameless brother-in-law. After you betrayed my brother, you slandered Gama, who had taken the file, but what? You stole it. You are the one with rotten behavior, and you dare to slander others to save yourself. That is an unforgivable betrayal. You must take responsibility for all your bad actions." The words came out firmly from Sierra's mouth, hoping that Giorgio would realize his mistake. However, all that happened was an apology on the lips, with no sign of genuine remorse. Giorgio remained silent, then flashed a sarcastic smile of disgust. "Do I care? Unfortunately, no, I don't care about what happened to your family. Your mother and her older sister are just hypocrites who are greedy to get recognition for their level of wealth. Still, they are poor people of habitat taking refuge under the name of Maheswara, and it is my greatest regret to be part of your family!" The words came out of Giorgio's mouth in a sarcastic ton
"Mr. Deny, you are right. And sorry for you, we can't sell you this car," the manager said regretfully."Come on, Mr. Manager, stop being so nice to a poor guy like him. No matter what, he can't afford this car, let alone pay for it. He can't afford it," Deny said again with his arrogant attitude."That's right, Mr. Deny. A poor man like him can't afford it, so are you going to pay it off now?" the Manager asked sharply, changing the position of power in the conversation.The woman in red tried to calm the situation with firmness yet confidence. The previously arrogant Deny now fell silent at the Manager's sharp question. Her mischievous facial expression showed that she realized her mistake.Nonetheless, the woman steadily took charge of the situation. "Sir, you don't need to worry. We'll pay it off immediately. Wait until my husband establishes cooperation with Featherston's company; after that, we'll pay it off," the woman said, conveying her confidence to the Manager.The manager
The faces of Deny and the woman in the red dress were full of panic as Gama insinuated them with sharp words. They felt shocked and a little ashamed of their earlier arrogance."No, sir, forgive us. We were wrong. We were too arrogant to judge someone by their appearance," said the woman in the red dress with a trembling voice, while Deny also nodded in agreement, his expression full of regret.Gama looked at the two people seriously before finally nodding. "I accept the sincerity of your apology. However, let's learn from this incident to not judge someone by their appearance alone."Deny, who had remained silent thus far, eventually voiced his opinion: "I concur. Each individual possesses hidden potential beyond their outward presentation. We must cultivate the ability to recognize intrinsic worth."They all nodded in agreement, learning from their mistake of being too quick to judge Gama based on his appearance. They hoped this incident could teach them to no longer get caught up i
