Barbara's anger subsided a little, hearing her husband's logic. "You're right; it's much more promising there than that company. And we also need to find my brother soon; then we can expose their rottenness," she replied, calmed by the solution to their problem. The couple quickly strategized; Giorgio contacted Gama, explaining their predicament and asking for help. Gama, "Giorgio looked glum and frustrated while speaking on the phone. "Grandma fired me from the company for no apparent reason. Could it be because she wasn't invited to your son's welcoming ceremony? I think that's the reason. What about the future of my children and wife now?" "Don't worry, I will help you. Come to The G.S Company; I'll place you as the marketing manager," Gama offered, trying to come up with a solution. "The G.S Company? Manager? You can only put me in that company?" Giorgio looked disappointed with Gama's decision, which did not match his expectations. "Why do you object? If you don't want to, n
"Mom, we have a serious problem," Robert said, trying to get the attention of his mother, Lady Maheswara. The older woman, whose face was still beautiful and well-groomed, looked at her only son indifferently. "Mom, are you not listening to me? It is serious; we are in danger. They've discovered the child's whereabouts," Robert said, raising his voice slightly to emphasize the precarious situation. Hearing the word 'danger', Lady Maheswara finally showed a reaction. Her eyes widened, and she looked at Robert with a shocked expression. "Don't joke around, Robert. How did they find out? Who leaked the information?" she asked, her voice trembling slightly with worry. "I don't know, ma'am. It is clear that they already know about the existence of the ana, and we need to get rid of it immediately," Robert replied seriously. Mrs Maheswara, now fully alert, immediately got up from her seat. Her ordinarily calm face changed. She began to walk back and forth, trying to figure out her next
The car driven by Gama and the rest of the family arrived at the orphanage. Their arrival was warmly welcomed by the sisters at the orphanage, who came out to greet them with friendly smiles. "Welcome! We are delighted to see the family come to visit," said one of the sisters, shaking Gama and Audie's hands warmly. However, behind the warm welcome was a hint of confusion on the sisters' faces. They politely questioned Gama's entourage, "May we know the purpose of your visit today?" Gama responded calmly and respectfully, feeling the need to explain, "We are here to pick up Clarissa. We have been informed that she is part of our family, and we would like to take her home." The sisters looked at each other, their astonishment evident. "Is there a problem?" asked Gama, seeing their confused expressions. "Is there something going on with Clarissa?" he asked again, trying to clarify. "If you and your family are concerned about Clarissa, then who just picked her up?" said one of the si
"Are you coming back already?" asked Sierra when she contacted Gama. "No, there's a problem. Clarissa is missing. Grandma took her away, and I need to find her right away," Gama explained in a worried voice. "Missing, taken by Grandma?" Sierra was quite surprised to hear the news. "Yes, Grandma knows everything, and we need to find out her purpose for hiding Clarissa," Gama added, her voice showing deep concern. "Yes, you're right. Be careful out there," Sierra said, trying to calm her voice. "That's for sure. You take it easy. You're okay yourself, right?" asked Gama, her attention momentarily turning to Sierra. "I think so," Sierra replied, her voice not sounding convinced. "What's wrong with you? Why do you sound like you're not in the best spirits?" "No, I just feel uncomfortable with Giorgio. He's always coming over and showing his attention to me. I feel uncomfortable with this," Sierra complained. "Gama, can you ask Lopiuy to keep me company while you're gone?" Gama lis
Carissa felt anxious and scared about her situation inside the stuffy and dusty old house. The cracked old walls and tightly closed windows added to the uneasiness in her heart. The dim lights hanging from the ceiling only illuminated a little of the room, leaving eerie shadows in the corners. "Why are we here? Aren't you taking me back to grandfather's house?" asked Carissa in a trembling voice, hoping for a reasonable explanation. The burly man guarding Carissa stared at her coldly as if the girl's question didn't deserve a response. His indifference only added to the already palpable tension. "Hey, why are you doing nothing? Hurry up and answer me!" shouted Carissa, frustrated at being ignored. "Shut up; I don't care about your questions. If you don't shut up, I'll kill you!" the man retorted in a deafeningly threatening voice. Carissa felt her body shiver, and her heart skipped a beat. The threat was not just words; the severe tone of his voice showed he was not one to play ar
. "Robert, what's going on? Quick, check on them!" Ledy Maheswara ordered in an urgent tone. Robert immediately checked the situation and returned quickly with a worried face. "Robert, what happened to your men? They are unreliable," Ledy Maheswara said in a tone full of disappointment. Realizing the failure of his subordinates, Ledy Maheswara decided to take matters into his own hands. "Well, I'll make this boy sign this letter myself," he said as he walked towards Clarissa. However, just as she was about to touch Clarissa, her body suddenly convulsed as if she had been shocked by a high-voltage electric current, and she fell unconscious. "Mom!" exclaimed a panicked Robert, who immediately rushed to Ledy Maheswara. "Gama, help Mommy!" he pleaded with Gama, who rushed into the room after hearing the scream. Seeing Ledy Maheswara unconscious, Gama immediately ordered his men to take Ledy to the hospital. "Take them," Gama ordered, and without delay, they immediately took Ledy Mahe
Clarissa woke up to the soft voice of a hotel maid. "Miss, wake up. It's morning." She was momentarily confused and disappointed when she realized that her time with Gama that night was just a dream. However, the disappointment did not last long. Her eagerness to meet Gama in the real world soon rekindled her enthusiasm. She stretched, rubbed her eyes, and smiled at the sunlight through the hotel room window. Even though it started with a dream, Clarissa still hoped to meet Gama and spend time together on the trip later. With renewed vigour, Clarissa got ready for the day. She took a shower with the help of the hotel concierge, put on her new clothes under the maid that she thought would make her feel confident, and dressed carefully—hoping to make a pleasant impression this morning with Gama. Once ready, Clarissa went downstairs to the hotel's breakfast area with the help of the hotel concierge. Her heart was pounding a little. The morning sun gave off a warm and refreshing glow,
"We'll be there soon," Gama said, breaking the chant.Clarissa nodded in understanding, though her gaze was reluctant to meet the woman she thought had been absent since childhood."Don't ever think your mother doesn't care about you. It's not what you think," Gama explained, trying to calm Clarissa, who looked doubtful.Clarissa stared intensely at Gama, trying to find the truth behind his words; realizing that this was not her mind speaking, she felt relieved."Why are you looking at me like that?" asked Gama, slightly uncomfortable with Clarissa's intense gaze."Nothing. I was making sure." She replied hesitantly. Trying to make sure everything was okay.After a short conversation, their car finally arrived home. Gama and Clarissa exited the vehicle and entered the house with different feelings. Gama tried to break the ice, while Clarissa still felt hesitant about the presence of the woman who was said to be her mother.After entering the house, the atmosphere was awkward between
