"You poor thing."Rico looked back at the door, the position of his bed with a half-sitting headrest made it easy for him to see who was coming."You, how did you get out of the police station?"Rico gaped in disbelief. He had just gotten bad news about Dominik and Adine's wedding, now he had Laura, who he hoped would stay locked up."Shocked?" Laura teased him.Rico was stunned, he just looked at Laura fiercely. He still couldn't believe what he was seeing."Leave me alone!" Rico snapped. "I want to rest!""How unfortunate for you," Laura teased once again."Don't worry, I'm just here to make a point!" Laura exclaimed angrily."What do you mean by sending this? Huh!" Laura opened the white envelope she had been carrying. She took out the contents, which were sheets of paper.Rico's body tensed up again, after the arrival of Dominik and Adine that almost made him jump out of bed, he was now surprised by Laura's madness."I will never divorce you!" Laura tore the divorce papers from Ri
"Does the office need you?" Adine was suddenly beside Dominik and stroked the man's shoulder.Dominik gasped, he pressed the red button with the phone logo, turning off the call and putting it on vibrate."Ah no, I'll call you back later," Dominik replied as he put the phone in his coat pocket. "We're leaving now."Dominik grabbed Adine by the waist and opened the car door beside his steering wheel. Afterward, he turned and entered the driving seat.The wheels of the car began to roll through the hot and crowded capital city, heading towards the hospital where his father was receiving physiotherapy.Halfway through the trip, it was still quiet in the car, perhaps they were struggling with their own thoughts."How's your design project going?" asked Dominik, breaking the silence.Adine turned her head with a beaming face, "They like the results of my design, only there is a slight revision of the bathroom and kitchen design.""I'm sure they'll love your design," said Dominik, making Ad
"Is this the residence, Mr. Dominik?" asked a man wearing a leather jacket.Adine was still stunned; the arrival of one man with two men in brown uniforms and police insignia made her weak."Yes, that's right," Adine replied stammeringly."Adine, who?" Dominik's baritone voice behind Adine made her turn her body quickly.She saw Dominik stepping closer. She knew the police officer would pick her up, but he had already done the math."I'm Dominik," said the handsome man with caramel irises."We're here to pick you up to state the office for the assault on Rico's brother."A man in a black leather jacket reached into his pocket and handed Dominik a white envelope."This is a warrant for your arrest," said the man in the leather jacket.As if Adine's bones were weakening, he wanted to collapse to the floor. What she feared had happened.Dominik took the envelope and skimmed through it."I'll come with you," Dominik said as he returned the arrest warrant.Adine was stunned, unwilling to l
["Didn't mommy say anything? She and Jenni are going to Indonesia in one week."]Dominik's head throbbed instantly. He gently massaged his forehead. His heartbeat seemed to stop beating suddenly.The problem was that Elif Melike was coming with Jennifer. The woman who he feared would be a thorn in Adine's side.[Dominik! Why are you silent? Are you thinking about something?] Helen exclaimed on the other side."Helen, can you prevent them?" Dominik pleaded. "I promised mom to take Adine to Germany immediately."Adine who was beside Dominik heard him. Her heart doubted whether the man's family in Germany would be willing to accept her in the future. But wouldn't their marriage be temporary?There was a heavy sigh from the other side. This was what Helen was worried about, Dominik was going too slowly.["Well, I'll tell your momma you're still on your honeymoon with Adine."]Dominik laughed, he didn't expect Helen to have such a crazy idea."You're always reliable, Helen. Thank you," Dom
"Shit! Why did I have to leave it behind? You forgetful, Adine!"Cursed Dominik who saw the thin square box of the sandwich container.The man snatched the box and carried it out of the car. He hurried back to the building, and his main destination now was on the tenth floor.Meanwhile, Adine, still in front of the sink, felt a movement behind the toilet cubicle wall.It was quiet, still, with only the sound of water flowing from the sink's faucet.Adine's heartbeat was pounding, and her hair stood up like a gust of wind was touching her skin."How desperate!"She muttered when she caught a glimpse of a shadow sneaking behind the wall of one of the cubicles.Adine was still busy washing her hands, taking turns, she intended to buy time for the figure to get bored."You know there's glass, but you still have evil intentions!" She muttered back.Adine hurriedly turned off the sink faucet. Before turning around, she breathed, then let it out softly.Before she could turn around, the figu
"There you are, bitch!"Before she could dodge, the woman dressed in a socialite style with a slightly overweight body pulled Laura's hair."Aaarrggg...let go!" Laura's hand tried to reach the figure who had grabbed her hair.Stinging, pain, and even embarrassment made Laura unable to move. Moreover, the rented neighbors began to scatter outside, not daring to break up.Some young men even picked up their cell phones and recorded what happened to Laura and Melisa."You bitch! Hurry up and return all the things my husband gave you!"The woman's loud voice could be heard quite clearly. Melisa, who was trying to break free from the woman's strong hold, was overwhelmed."If you behave in such a barbaric manner, I will report you to the police!" Melisa shouted out loud.Two women in branded clothes and bags got out of the car of the woman who had beaten Laura.They blocked Melisa and held her hands.The slightly overweight woman began slapping Laura repeatedly in the face. Scream after scr
"You can open it now," Adine said in a cold tone.Melisa looked at Adine with an agitated expression. She could see her hand trembling as she opened the envelope.Perhaps even Melisa's heart was beating wildly at this moment.Laura was equally nervous as she stared blankly at the white envelope.Melisa began to open the sheet of paper, which turned out to be a religious court envelope."No!" Melisa squealed loudly, drawing the attention of the people there."Michael, do you still love me? Is this all because of her!"Melisa never regretted her actions. She pointed at Adine, her gaze flashing with anger."Adine! You're so evil that you want to separate my mama from her husband!" Laura shouted equally loudly.Adine just rolled her eyes lazily while Dominik began to stare in disgust at Laura and Melisa, who didn't know any better."Michael, I'm sure you don't want us to get divorced?" Melisa asked pleadingly.Crocodile tears began to fall down her cheeks. Melisa pleadingly laid her head
"It's alright, Doctor Leo."Adine glanced at her husband, whose face was bright red. It was as if a stream of lava was about to erupt from the mountain's core."Are you really okay, Adine?"Doctor Leo's question made the woman turn her head back towards the source of the voice. Adine, who felt Dominik could barely control her emotions, tried pulling her hand from Doctor Leo's grasp."I'm fine, Doc," Adine said while still trying to pull her hand away."Let me help you clean your wet hands."Leo still insisted on not letting go of her hand. Instead, he pulled on some tissues."You're deaf!"Dominik, in a fit of rage, swatted Doctor Leo's hand away from Adine's roughly.Leo gasped; the slap that felt more like a punch immediately snapped him out of it. He released his grip on Adine's hand reflexively.He looked at Dominik, the man's caramel irises seemingly flashing and emitting a flame of hostility."I'm sorry, I just feel bad for your wife," Leo replied awkwardly."You forget that her
