"Who's calling like they're possessed in the morning!" Adine ran from the walk-in closet to her room while grumbling.Adine rushed to the nightstand and grabbed the mobile phone lying there. She frowned at the identity on the screen."Hello, Mrs Nita, I'll be there in a minute," Adine said to the person on the other side.["Adine, can you come here soon?"]From the tone of the woman called Nita, there was a tone of concern."What's wrong, Mum? Did something happen to father?" Adine started to worry about what happened.["Adine, I can't keep preventing it..."]"What do you mean, Mum?" said Adine quickly. "I beg you, don't speak halfway, Mum." Adine's chest began to pound; she was afraid something would happen to her father.["Mrs Melisa came here and forced Mr Michael to sign something."]Adine seemed to go limp, her chest was hit by something really heavy. She staggered for a moment, imagining what that demonic woman had done to her father."Please block me first. Don't let me sign an
"Have a seat, Adine." Doctor Maria invited the woman to sit on the chair before her office.The small room dominated by light green walls and posters of human organs made Adine quite comfortable.Doctor Maria pulled out a drawer under her desk. She took out two long white envelopes from there."These are the results of the last fertility test that you haven't had time to take," said Maria as she handed the envelopes to Adine.For some reason, Adine's heart rate monitor was pounding so much that if she had listened to it through a stethoscope, she would have immediately put away the heart rate monitor.Adine looked at Doctor Maria doubtfully. The beautiful doctor frowned and then smiled. Perhaps the doctor already understood what the woman in front of her was thinking.Finally, with trembling hands, Adine reached for the white envelope with the results of the fertility test she had done with Rico."You don't need to worry, there's nothing wrong with your fertility." Doctor Maria's word
"Good afternoon, everyone." The sound of greetings from someone broke the focus of Monica and Adine enjoying their lunch."Have a seat and please explain everything to Adine," Monica said.The tall man with his trademark fedora hat and bluecromic glasses immediately pulled up a chair and settled down."Let's have lunch first," Monica said."No, Ma'am, I can't stay long, I just want to deliver this," said the man as he pulled something from his bag.A certificate of ownership of a house with a distinctive tosca green color with a blue garuda embossed stamp was placed on the table.Adine could hardly believe what she saw; she immediately picked up the certificate with a large inscription that the National Land Agency had issued."Is that the certificate of your late grandfather's house that was passed down to your father?" Monica asked.The atmosphere was so dramatic that Adine hugged the certificate with teary eyes. She opened the pages that still bore her father's name."No one can ta
"Miss, is your mobile phone off?" Willy's question made Adine forget to wear her safety belt.Adine hurriedly reached for her mobile phone in her clutch bag; it was true what Willy said, her mobile phone was off."I forgot to charge my phone," Adine replied sadly. "Your master must have been trying to contact me.""One moment, Miss." Willy reached for the mobile phone in his coat pocket, pressing the speed dial to Dominik's number.The burly, expressionless man immediately handed the mobile phone to Adine, who was beside him.["Where?"] The voice on the other side instantly made Adine move the mobile phone away from her ear."I'm heading home from lunch with Monica," Adine replied.["What's wrong with your phone? Did you switch it off on purpose?"]"I forgot to charge it. I didn't know it was switched off," Adine replied with annoyance.["Go home and rest! I'm not coming tonight."]Adine squeaked a little, not because she was hurt that Dominik wasn't paying attention to her anymore, b
"Dominik!" Adine glared at the man who was cool with what had been done to the bully.No! Adine was not worried about Laura's safety but more selfish than that; if something bad happened with that sneaky woman, it was too easy.Adine wanted more; she wanted Laura to feel what had been done to her. In other words, Adine wanted Laura and Rico to fall together.Dominik didn't move; he was watching Adine intently. Suddenly, the look in his caramel irises made her uncomfortable.Adine looked away, trying to cover her nervousness; she flicked the hair that fell over her face."You look prettier when you're nervous," Dominik chuckled, which made Adine return Dominik's gaze.Dominik chuckled amusedly when he noticed that the woman's face in front of him looked as red as a tomato."Tell me quickly! Why did you call me here?" Adine pursed her lips forward.She gave the impression that she was annoyed with Dominik, but she couldn't hide the rapid beating of her heart.Dominik grabbed Adine's wai
The beautiful eyelids opened slowly to reveal dense irises glistening like obsidian gemstones.Adine, who had fallen asleep on her side, began flapping on her back. Her left hand fumbled around, but she found only an empty mattress.Turning her head, she found no one there. Her face, which looked beautiful despite having just woken up, now began to frown."So, he didn't come to the apartment last night," the woman muttered in a disappointed tone.She started to get up slowly, sitting on the edge of the bed for a moment, stretching her still sore body."Why should I be disappointed? I'm not just a mistress!" Adine sighed harshly, disappointed with herself.She tiptoed slightly when there was a knock on the door."Who's coming?" she asked softly.She started to get up from the edge of the bed; as the knocking became louder and louder, Adine made a small run to the door."Miss, are you awake?" It turned out that Adine only heard Willy's voice after she was near the door."Baron?" asked A
"You bastard!" the voice shouted back.Laura hurriedly released both of her smooth hands wrapped around Dominik's neck. Laura's wide-eyed gaze saw the figure of Rico, who seemed to be hastily approaching.Dominik remained silent and adjusted his jacket, which Laura's actions had wrinkled.PLAKK!!!There was a loud slap that landed right on Laura's right cheek. The woman's face turned in the opposite direction. There was a low moan from the woman."Why did you slap me!" protested Laura as she rubbed her hot right cheek. Her eyes were glazed over, not only with pain but also with shame.Arion and Belle only held back their laughter when they saw the quiet soap opera scene before them. Especially with Dominik, he could hardly contain his laughter."What the hell are you doing!" snapped Dominik. "Why are you here hugging!" Rico glanced at Dominik, but the piercing gaze of the stranger behind Laura seemed to pierce him.Dominik was still monitoring the small quarrel in front of him. There
"Why didn't you pick up?" Dominik knitted his eyebrows together.Hiding her nervousness, Adine smiled and slipped the phone back into her clutch bag after changing the setting to vibrate."Call from Monica; I'll call you back later," Adine replied grinningly.Dominik continued his work, examining the documents piled up on his desk. Although he looked calm, I don't know what he was thinking.Like the character of a lion, he looked calm yet alert. Eyes were closed, but hearing was very sharp, even if it was only a small movement.Adine immediately resumed her pending work. Besides designing using computer software, she also liked to design using sketches.'Damn, there must be some news from Miguel's uncle, ' Adine thought to herself as she swiped her 2B pencil across the white paper.Her hands were nimble in coloring the black pencil ink on the paper, but her heart and mind were not there.Adine did not realize that the caramel irises in front of her were watching her movements. She was
