Renata was currently in a car with Bastian, Grace, and her personal driver. Tristan couldn't come along because of work. Bastian did not bring a bodyguard.Renata looked out the car window. This is her first time in this country. Bastian, who sat beside Renata, occasionally glanced at Renata, who put some distance between them and focused on looking out the window."The trip takes about three hours; you can sleep for a while," said Bastian."I'm not sleepy," Renata replied curtly.Bastian could only sigh as he leaned his body on the shoulder of the seat. Grace, who was sitting in the front seat, glanced through the windshield at Bastian and Renata.After a long time, Renata had yawned several times, and finally she fell asleep with her head hitting the car window several times. Renata winces for a moment but still falls asleep. Seeing that, Bastian pulled Renata's head back and allowed her to lay her head on his broad shoulder. And that activity did not escape Grace's jealous glances.
After the meeting, Bastian saw Renata sleeping on the sofa. Her cell phone was lying on the table, and a box of macarons seemed to be gone.Bastian walked over to Renata's body. He crouched down near Renata's head. He gazed at her innocent, beautiful sleeping face. Looking at Renata at that moment was like looking at a sleeping princess.His hand stretched out to tidy up the hair that fell on Renata's face. For a moment, Bastian's memory traveled to the incident several years ago. Where the accident happened, the attack that left his family dead without a trace Even his five-year-old sister. The pain was still very much in his heart. A pain that continued to gnaw at his heart without being able to heal.Bastian pulled his hand away from Renata's face with a strong fist. His eyes were red with anger. Between the resentment and desire he felt at the moment for the woman in front of him. On the other hand, he always wanted to hurt Renata, make her cry, and make her feel miserable. But on
Renata and Bastian prepared to return to Bastian's mansion. Her work here was done. When he woke up earlier, Bastian did not find Renata sleeping beside him. She is pensive on the sofa, looking out the window.Bastian entered the bathroom and washed his body under the shower. His memory flashes back to the incident last night. He forced Renata to serve him. He had lost control. Previously, he had held back the desire inside him, and he could not unleash it on the other women in the club. Only the image of Renata's face and body filled his head. And knowing Renata is not in the room makes Bastian's anger unbearable. Plus, he also had to see another man touch Renata's hand. For a moment, he lost his mind and committed violence.Bastian closes his eyes, trying to drive away the guilt and images that happened last night. He remembered that it was not a sigh that Renata let out but a cry of pain."Damn it!" An annoyed Bastian punched the wall until his knuckles were bruised and hurt.He fe
Renata was pensive in her room. She remembered the incident earlier, where Bastian killed the four people easily and without guilt. For a moment, Renata recalled the expression on Bastian's face when treating patients and performing surgery on them. Their expressions were much different. Sometimes Renata thinks the Bastian she knows now and then is a different person.Renata sighed deeply. She felt very tired in addition to all her thoughts.Bastian walked into the room with a hard expression on his face."Your parents came looking for you," Bastian said, making Renata startle out of her position."Was that true?""I'll be kind enough to let me meet them. But remember, don't try to cross the line and try to escape. You know what will happen if you break it!" threatened Bastian with emphasis."Tell them that you're happy with this marriage. And you will stay here with your husband! Do you understand, Renata?"Bastian said, and Renata could only nod a little, even though her heart was hu
"Damn it!" he swore, kicking Bastian several meters away as his body hit the side of the table. Bastian couldn't get up because his body was in so much pain. The men walked away, and something fell out of the masked man's clothes. Bastian shuffled towards the fallen thing, and it turned out to be a pin symbolizing the Wiratama family.Vengeance flashed in his jet-black eyes. Seeing the bodies of the people he loved lying stiff with blood flowing Bastian swore in his heart, tears streaming down his cheeks. He swore he would kill the entire family that killed his family. He swore he would make them feel the loss of their loved ones. He swore he would only live to avenge them.Tears fell down his cheeks as Bastian recalled the painful incident. Although 18 years had passed, the pain was still felt and imprinted so deeply in his heart.Bastian closed his eyes and clenched his hands together as tears fell down his cheeks."Who is the real enemy?" muttered Bastian. His jaw hardened, and he
Renata, who was sleeping, was slightly disturbed by the sound of someone growling. She woke up from her sleep and saw Bastian looking restless in his sleep. Sweat flooded all over his body."No, please don't!" he mumbled, sounding heartbreaking.Renata touched Bastian's forehead, which felt hot."I think it's because of the wound," Renata murmured, opening the blanket to reveal Bastian's bloody t-shirt."The wound is bleeding again," Renata muttered, rushing down the bed. She picked up the P3K box and put water in the basin.Renata compressed Bastian's forehead and took off Bastian's clothes. She replaced the bandage that had bled again with a new one. Afterward, Renata helps him put on a new shirt. Bastian did not wake up at all, probably because he was so weak. Afterward, Renata compresses Bastian's forehead with a wet towel. She keeps repeating this over and over again until he is no longer asleep.The sun had already risen overhead, and its light was streaming into the room, causi
Renata and Bastian arrived at the building where the party was being held. There were a lot of guests dressed in fancy clothes and showing off their wealth. And now Bastian is the centre of attention. There was also Julian with Jacob and Tristan. Bastian walked up to them."It turns out you invited her," Jacob said, smiling sarcastically."Why did you bring this woman here?" The audience of Renata could still hear Julian's whisper. "Didn't I tell you, don't let anyone find out about your relationship?""You just calm down; I won't introduce her as my wife," Bastian replied, hearing that somehow Renata's heart ached. If he didn't want to think of her as his wife, then why marry her? Renata turned her face away. She didn't want to get lost in this pain."Mr. Julian, you all came. Thank you," said an old man who approached them along with a young woman who clung to the old man's arm."We are just fulfilling your invitation, Mr. Charlos.""Mr. Sebastian, who is this beautiful woman? Is sh
"Mr. Charlos?" exclaimed Renata, very surprised to see the existence of an old man in front of her."It turns out that even without makeup, you are very beautiful, Miss."Charlos walked up to Renata, who was already on standby, and walked backward."Don't mess with me! Or I'll scream!" said Renata."Ha ha ha... Scream until your voice is hoarse. No one will help you," said Charlos with a disgusting face.Charlos was seen opening the suit he was wearing, then opening his shirt casually, while Renata was still taking a step and looking for something to be his weapon."You know, just for the sake of a tender. Bastian gave you to me; in business, there is no such thing as love. As long as there is money and profit, then that will be prioritised."Hearing Charlos's explanation made Renata's heart very disappointed in Bastian. She thought Bastian was not a person who was crazy about wealth and business, but it turned out to be the same thing. She thought Bastian would not do something so sh
