Early in the morning, Renata woke up from her sleep. She winced when she felt a pain in her groyne. She turned her head to her side, where Bastian was nowhere to be seen.'Where is he?' Renata thought about it and gradually got up.She was pensive for a moment. Once again, she fell under Bastian's charm. Actually, she was happy like this without feeling awkward or afraid. But Rena herself was just afraid; she again put her hopes in Bastian, and in the end, she was the one who received disappointment.Trust me."Should I trust you this time, Bas?" she murmured.Renata hurried off the bed and into the bathroom. She needed a warm bath to neutralise all her muscle tissues.***"What would you like to make, ma'am?" the waitress asked when she saw Renata in the kitchen."A hot drink.""Let me make it."Renata shook her head. "No need. I can do it myself; it's better if you do something else."The servant wanted to argue; however, Renata had already taken her glass first. Finally, she excuse
Renata had just come down the stairs. She frowned when she saw a middle-aged woman enter the mansion carrying several bags of groceries. Renata recognised that woman. If she remembered correctly, she was Julian's wife."Good morning," he said, greeting the woman with a wide, motherly smile."Good morning, Tante. Emm, Bastian has just left," Renata replied as she stood in front of the woman."Don't call me Tante. Call me Mom," she said to none other than Maria, Julian's first wife."Eh?""You're my daughter-in-law, so call me Mom.""Umm okay."Maria smiled warmly at her as she rubbed Renata's head. Renata felt that Maria was nice; she was so motherly, not much different from her mother."Mom, bring some food. Have you eaten yet?""Not yet, Mom.""Then let's have lunch together."Maria took Renata to the dining table. She took out all the dishes she had brought."Mommy cooked for you and Bastian. Unfortunately, Bastian has already left, so you can just eat, yes," Maria said, looking exc
In the afternoon, Bastian has gone somewhere, and Clairy is still at the mansion. Renata reluctantly went downstairs and had to cross paths with that woman. Since the first time they met, that woman had raised the war flag against her. Renata tried to ignore her.Her eyes accidentally caught the figure of a car at the main gate. The balcony on the second floor Renata continued to watch the man who got out of the car and looked at the surrounding area."Leo?" muttered Renata in shock. "What is he doing there?"Without thinking, Renata climbed down the stairs and ran out of the mansion. Clairy saw it all."Where did that bitch go?" muttered Clairy.Renata reached the main gate, and thankfully, there were no guards there. She opened the gate, and someone immediately called out to her."Tata!""Leo, what are you doing here?" asked Renata, looking around worriedly."I was looking for you; I was so worried about you.""Leo, I told you. Get as far away as you can and don't mind me.""How cou
Bastian came home drunk. He entered the house staggering and hit the table and Gucci several times until they fell and broke on the floor.Hearing the commotion, Renata woke up from her sleep. She walked out of her room and saw from upstairs where Bastian had fallen with an injured hand from the broken tiles of the Gucci."Oh my God, Bastian!" shrieked Renata as she ran down the steps. She helped Bastian to his feet."What happened to you?" Renata said. Bastian did not usually come home drunk.Renata was quite overwhelmed by Bastian's large body. They climbed the stairs to the second floor. Renata took Bastian into their room and laid him down on the bed. She hurried to bring warm water to a basin and medical equipment.Renata started to take off Bastian's shoes, took off his watch, and even saw a pistol around his waist. Renata took the gun and put it on the table.Renata treated Bastian's wounded and bleeding palm. She wrapped it with a bandage.Afterward, she went back to cleaning

Bastian walked out of his office. He and Renata had been in separate rooms all night. Bastian doesn't like Renata protecting and defending other men. Even though he was Renata's husband, even though Bastian realized that he was the one who forced Renata to get married and be by his side,That morning, Bastian was already neat in his work suit. He has to go to the company center, where there is a big meeting between shareholders and subsidiary leaders. And now it's time for him to meet with Julian.Renata had just come out of her room, and that's when they crossed paths and briefly exchanged glances, but Bastian turned his face away first."I'm not going to kill your lover," Bastian said in a flat tone. "Wait for me to prepare everything to send you back to your family, and I'll file for divorce. At that time, you can be with your ex-lover!" After saying that, Bastian moved away, leaving Renata, who was still frozen in place.I will divorce you and send you home."How easy it is for hi
"Bi, where is Renata?" asked Clairy when he stepped into the kitchen."She hasn't come out of her room all day.""What happened? Did they have a fight yesterday?" asked Clairy, trying to find out."I don't know for sure, but they didn't sleep in the same room last night."Clairy's smile spread perfectly. Gotcha! This is what she wanted."Is that lunch for her?" asked Clairy."Yes. Madam asked for it to be delivered to her room.""Let me deliver it," said Clairy."That's-""It's okay. You just do your job.""Alright then. Excuse me." The servant walked away.Bastian had left since this morning, as Clairy had a big meeting at Julian's company. Surely he would come home at night and not see Renata's condition today.And Clairy would do something to that woman!"Hm, just wait, Renata. I'll make you not feel at home here," she muttered ambitiously.In Clairy's brain, there were many plans to bring Renata down in Bastian's eyes.One had worked. She was sure that the other plan would have a
Bastian went down the stairs and saw Clairy's sedan pacing there."Honey, how's the girl doing? She's fine, isn't she? I was so shocked when Jacob arrived. I tried to hold him back, but my strength wasn't that strong," Clairy explained."Go home!""Honey. I miss you. I've been waiting for you. You're kicking me out now?" protested Clairy."Stop acting. I already know everything. Go away, Clairy, don't provoke me!" said Bastian emphatically. Clairy walked away, very upset, and slammed the door.Bastian rubbed his face furiously. Many things happened today.***Bastian saw Renata sleeping. He walked into his office, where he opened his laptop, where Vincent sent him a message that he had successfully hacked his cellphone and got the messages on it.Bastian's eyes widened as he read the contents of the message on the old cellphone. It turned out that Farmos had communicated with his father, Scott, a week before the incident occurred in his family. Fermos explained that Julian knew that S
