The green jeep speeding through the capital's streets seemed to be entering the quiet housing complex where Amel's mother lived.
The screeching sound of the jeep's large tires soon entered the courtyard of the tall, white, Mediterranean-style house."Let go of me!" Mona's voice struggled to break the grip of the large hand of one of Dominik's bodyguards, who was dragging her inside."What's going on?" Amel, who was relaxing on the living room sofa, stood up immediately. Her gaze was straight ahead, still mute at Mona's confused state.The bodyguard who had grabbed Mona's arm jerked the woman, causing her to fall against Amel's body. Fortunately, Amel's mother had quick reflexes and caught Mona's body to prevent her from falling."What happened? Did you disappoint Mr. Dominik?" Amel asked Mona angrily. Meanwhile, Mona could only cry."Mr. Dominik suddenly threw me out," Mona said in stuttering sentences as she wiped her wet oval face. Tonight, Mona felt as if Aslan had skinned her pride."What's wrong with Mona, she's the belle of the ball here, surely Mr. Dominik won't be disappointed!" Amel's mother shouted at the expressionless, all-black, formally dressed man in front of her."Cheater!" The cry echoed through the living room.The baritone voice that suddenly emerged from the doorway made Mommy Amel's skin crawl. The dazzlingly handsome face of the Eurasian mix was enough to draw the attention of the few residents. The strong jaw and thin sideburns accentuated his face even more."Who are you?" asked Amel with trembling lips. She didn't know what charm the handsome man in the white shirt had before her. She felt something that made her knees weak just by hearing his voice.The handsome man smiled slightly as he folded the hem of his shirt up to his elbow. It was as if he had no desire to look at Amel."Mom, he..." Mona's words were suddenly cut off."For an impostor like you, there's no need to know who I am!" The eagle-sharp caramel eyes again intimidated Amel and Mona, who began to hide behind the pimp.For a few moments, Amel remained silent as if she could not say anything. Dominik's look affected her psychologically."Mom, can you explain why you said we were cheaters?" Amel's mother began to work up the courage to ask.Dominik stared into Amel's existence with a look that seemed to weaken his enemy. He didn't say much but was firm when the voice came out of his throat.Dominik sighed in annoyance at the two people in front of him. Then he ruffled his waist right in front of Amel at a distance of two meters."Tell me where she is!" With a cold tone, Dominik didn't need any further ado."Wh-who, sir?" Amel dodged as if she ignored Dominik's words."You're deaf! That I have to repeat myself?" Dominik shook his head while raising one of his eyebrows.Amel swallowed his saliva with difficulty; it seemed that his decision to exchange Adine was a foolishness he would have to bear for the rest of his life."Willy!" shouted Dominik in a high tone that made Amel jump."Yes, sir." A tall man in an all-black suit approached Dominik and prepared to receive his master's orders."Search this place and find the woman of the night!" Dominik ordered.Without arguing, Willy immediately did as his master commanded. He searched every nook and cranny of the house."If I don't find her, I could ruin your business!" Dominik pointed at Amel's face with flashing eyes in a slightly deep but angry tone."You have no right to do that and threaten me!" Amel complained, puffing out her chest and raising her chin as if to challenge Dominik.Hearing Amel's defiant tone, Dominik only pulled back one corner of his lips. He did not flinch at all."Must I repeat myself? Where is that woman?" Dominik repeated. "I wanted her that night, but you sent another woman!"Amel swallowed her saliva before answering Dominik's questions and insistence that sounded like the roar of a hungry male lion."Answer!" snapped Dominik, causing both women to jump and crush each other."You think I can't destroy your nightclub? Huh!" Dominik couldn't wait to hear the answer from Amel's mouth. "I can even make your nightspot disappear instantly!"Amel looked at Dominik with a pale face. He almost wanted to faint. Many customers often threatened him, but Dominik's threats were different. It was as if the man's tone could break down the defenses of anyone in his presence."Adine, this woman prefers to serve other men," Amel replied falsely."Nonsense!" Dominik snapped back. "Tell me quickly where she is!"Willy had searched the whole room. But he couldn't find Adine. He immediately returned to the living room to tell Dominik."I'm sorry, sir. I couldn't find her, but I did find this in the back storeroom," Willy said, showing the scraps of the mauve dress Aslan had bought for Adine. Dominik's caramel-colored eyes recognized it, of course.Dominik shook his head vigorously with a flushed face. His chest trembled at the thought of what had happened to Adine."Last question," Dominik said, catching his breath. "Where did you hide the woman?""Sa-I sent her to another man," Amel stammered."Do I have to make it clear again for you to tell me the truth?" Dominik's question intimidated Amel.Finally, Amel gave in and told him about Adine's whereabouts. Dominik, who felt lied to by Amel, also felt lied to by Adine."Willy!" called Dominik."Yes, sir?" Willy stepped forward."You know what to do?" asked Dominik commandingly."Yes, sir." Willy immediately left the house as his master had ordered."Richie!" Aslan called to the only remaining bodyguard."Yes, sir?" Richie approached Dominik."Call Jefrey and my lawyer! Tell them to shut this place down!" Dominik ordered.Amel and the others instantly went limp when they heard the man's order to his men."Sir, don't do this," Amel begged pleadingly. "Next time, I will provide your special Adine."Dominik didn't move; he stared at the two confused people before him. He stuffed both hands into his pockets. Now, he would see the sight of hypocritical people with their arrogance.***Meanwhile, in a three-star hotel, right in one of the rooms on the fifth floor."Please, sir, don't go any further." The voice was so heartbreaking that a sob was heard loudly, along with the sound of the leather belt being whipped repeatedly until it hit Adine's flawless skin."Darling, I am enjoying this so much. The louder you sob, the better I feel," said a middle-aged man with a bald head.He whipped his leather belt back at the woman who crouched at the edge of the door, hugging her own body.The red minidress was unable to protect her body from the man's perverted behavior.Adine curled up even more. She was so devastated, she never thought she would meet such a fate. She missed Dominik, the handsome man who could provide warmth that night."Hurry up and serve me!" The man grabbed Adine's beautiful hair until she looked up. She had forgotten the pain in her body, only the pain in her heart.Adine sobbed louder as she shook her head violently. She did not want to serve the lustful desires of the rough man."Not enough of my leather belt! Hah!" The bald man glared at Adine when she refused him.He shoved Adine until she fell to the ground. The man's leather belt was about to swing back and scratch her tawny skin, but the sound of the door slamming roughly stopped the bald man.BBUUGGHHH!There was a loud crash of someone's fist. The bald man fell hard to the ground, whimpering in pain."My nose is bleeding!" he screamed as he saw thick red liquid oozing from both nostrils."Get that bastard!" the order in the baritone voice was clear and decisive.Dominik looked down to his right. Adine was curled up motionless. Quick as a flash, he lowered his head and rolled over the woman's slender, fragile body.The handsome man looked back at the shadowy little face until his heart sank. Not wanting to linger and get lost in that face, Dominik immediately lifted Adine's body."Sir, what do we do with this man?" Willy asked Dominik."Beat him up! Like he did with this woman!" Dominik ordered."Mercy, sir, don't do that. I'm sorry," the man said as he knelt with his palms together.Dominik looked at the man in disgust. The expression on his face was cold."Willy! Find out the identity of this man!" Dominik ordered. "If you find out where he works, I want him fired tomorr
"Just relax, no need to get hysterical."Dominic casually took off all his clothes in front of Adine. Even with his naked body without a single thread, he casually walked into the bathroom inside the room. Even crazier, without closing the door, he enjoyed the water from the shower.Adine did not feel like finishing her breakfast. I don't know; whenever she saw Dominik's muscular and athletic body, she couldn't deny that excitement came over her. Maybe right now, her cheeks were as red as cooked shrimp.The woman turned her face forward to not see Dominik's firm back shining from the shower water. But there was a sense of urgency for her to stare at Dominik as he began to wet his body with soap. He scrubbed his back to release the lather. The scent of soap drifted out and filled the woman's sense of smell. Shyly, she kept looking at Dominik."Why am I imagining things?" muttered Adine as she shook her head and ruffled her hair."Hey! Can you get me a towel?"Dominik's baritone voice s
"Hhhmmpphh..." The large palm closed over Adine's mouth so quickly that the woman was unable to fight back."Why are you screaming?" Dominik, who had suddenly arrived, did not know that Adine was in the bathroom. He immediately removed the hand that was covering her mouth.Adine rustled again, and Dominik gave her the feeling of dying again. The man stood in front of her shirtless. Only the formal pants he had been wearing since he had been in the office remained. It was as if the man was enjoying the beauty of his athletic chest."Ma-ma'sorry, I'm wearing a bath to soak," Adine said shyly, trying to look down to hide her flushed cheeks. "I'm tired of being in this room."Dominik did not answer, just stared at Adine's body from head to toe. The scent of the aromatherapy soap the woman was using began to touch Dominik's nerve endings. Dominik's gaze made Adine even more naughty. She wanted to leave, but her legs would not budge. For some reason, her feet felt glued to the floor in fron
"Miss Adine, how is she? It's been a few weeks since I've seen you," said a woman in her forties with her hair in a ponytail."I'm good, Ms. Nita," Adine replied. "I have some business with my husband. How is your father faring in my absence?""Your father has refused to eat several times and seems more moody than usual. He seems to be expecting you," Mrs. Nita replied.The two women of different ages walked down the hall to the room of a middle-aged man, Adine's biological father, who had been sent to a nursing home by Mellisa - his second wife—Adine's stepmother.The Rumah Singgah Saudara orphanage is a simple one-story building that houses orphaned and abandoned children and the elderly.They reached the end of the corridor. There was a room measuring about 3x2.5 meters. Adine stopped at the open door. She found an older man staring out the window, sitting in a wheelchair."I'll leave you here," Mrs. Nita said, leaving Adine with her father. Adine nodded and looked back at her fath
The first time her feet stepped into the lobby of the building, Adine stared in amazement. The brown colour with wooden ornaments dominated the room called the lobby. Adine followed where Monica went. Even she could not believe it; the interior of the lobby in this building looked nothing like Indonesia.Adine followed Monica, who was heading for the reception desk. She wanted to ask something about the walk-in interview that had started on the twenty-fifth floor of the building."Adine, you can fill out this data collection form first," Monica said as she handed over a sheet of data collection form that was usually filled out when applying for a job. A few minutes later, Adine finished and handed the form back to the receptionist."Just take it now," Monica said. "I'll take you to the interview room."Adine did as Monica said. From the reception desk, they both walked to the right. There were two hallways. The first hallway housed the elevator, while the second hallway was longer as
"Alex, please don't break my contract," pleaded a woman in a cleaning uniform. She leaned her back against the wall."Do you still want to work here?" a man asked, stroking her cheek seductively. "That's easy, as long as you're willing to do whatever I ask."Adine pressed her back against the wall, still afraid to come out, while the sound of the inappropriate conversation was still in her ears. She only dared to come out when the sound of the conversation between the two people outside faded.A few moments later, Adine stepped out of the elevator. She saw Monica, who was busy with her device, sitting on the end sofa across from the reception desk."Monic, I'm sorry you had to wait so long," Adine said, making an apologetic face."I thought you fell asleep in the locker room," Monica said as she exited the sofa.Adine stared in surprise at Monica, who suddenly stopped. I don't know what she saw behind Adine. Adine was standing with her back to someone who was having a conversation. Mo
"Thank you, the representatives of PT Samudra Biru have agreed to meet with us," Rocky said to Dominik, who only nodded slowly and had a flat expression."What about our presentation, are you interested?" Laura asked with a look that was hard to interpret.Arion looked at Dominik, who seemed to have no interest in the presentation or his meeting with the two pairs of PT Samudra Biru representatives in front of him."It seems that Mr. Dominik still has a few things to consider," Arion interrupted as if he had understood that Rocky and Laura had been subtly dismissed."As my personal assistant said, I can't make quick decisions on things like this," Dominic said as he looked at Arion.Arion was not just a personal assistant closest to Dominic's every move. His job could be more than subtly ejecting clients who were naughty or not in order, except for finding women for Dominik's pleasure."I will contact you as soon as Mr. Dominik has decided," Arion said politely.Rocky and Laura looked
"Mr. Alex, let go!" Adine screamed hysterically in the fourth-floor hallway. She had decided to leave early because of the senior's order to punish new students who dared to be late."Don't be a hypocrite, Adine!" Alex tried to push her against the wall.Alex kept trying to kiss Adine's luscious lips. It was a futile attempt. Adine struggled, shaking her head to prevent Alex from doing what she wanted."HELP!"Adine's cry caught in her throat. Her face paled, and her body tensed at the thought of what Alex would do to her. She was being abused!"No one is going to help you, Adine!"Alex's voice sounded frightening in Adine's ears. She wanted to scream, but she knew it would be useless. Alex grabbed Adine's hands even tighter, lifting her and holding her.Adine could no longer hold back her sobs and screams when Alex's head had managed to slip into the recesses of her swan neck.She pushed hard to get Alex out of the way, but her strength wasn't enough. Adine couldn't help herself and
