"Why did you break your promise, Dad?" asked Davero, looking furious because France broke her promise, saying that she would announce the news of her appointment as president."
France sat on the black sofa quietly and chuckled. "Dave, I changed my mind. I think I'll make you president when you marry Natalie."
"What is this?" said Dave, still holding back his emotions.
"I'm afraid you'll choose the widow with one child over Natalie, my daughter," France said casually, sipping her drink.
"Never mind, Dave; anyway, after we get married later, you will get everything," said Natalie, coddling in Dave's arms, which were silent and stiff. It was clear that France was taking advantage of him.
"I've shut up all the media that reported about you and that widow, Dave. And don't let me hear that news again." France put a cigarette in her mouth, and a maid lit a fire to burn the cigarette.
"Not Dave, Dad. But that bitch that itches—she's seduced Ai
All night Dave spent his time in his office, staring at the flames burning in the kiln. He had too much to do and many things he could not reveal. Now the ultimate key is Devara, his all-knowing double. Dave was afraid of taking the wrong step, and marrying Natalie was the thing he least wanted.Dave got up from his seat and walked out of the room; he walked to his room but stopped when he saw a vase filled with fresh red roses. I don't know where the urge came from; he approached the flower fitting and looked at the flower.He stared at it long enough for him to pluck one. He walked towards his room. The room was dim when he entered, and Agneta's figure was lying on the bed.Dave walked over to Agneta and sat on the side of the bed. He looked at the rose in his hand and kept it on the nightstand beside Agneta. Then he stroked Agneta's head gently. "I'm sorry, Neta. It never crossed my mind to hurt you and destroy your life. But somehow, I'm too obsessed with you. I'm sorry, Nate." Da
Dave had just come home from work and saw Regan playing with Agneta; it was indeed the weekend, and Dave was still busy with his activities.He stood at the parapet and watched Agneta and Regan play football on his spacious penthouse's balcony. Regan seemed to be laughing, as did Agneta, who hugged Regan and also put her body on her lap. The laughter of the two of them was like a musical rhythm that calmed Dave's heart, without realizing that the corners of Dave's lips had lifted to form a smile."Father!" Regan shouted, running towards Dave, who was now walking towards them. Regan jumped into Dave's arms as he spread his arms out."Daddy's a hotshot," Dave said, kissing Regan's chubby cheek. Dave's gaze was directed towards Agneta, who was standing in her place not far from him. They stared at each other for a long time."Where have you been, busy transparently?" Regan spoke until his reverie awakened, and he turned his gaze from Agneta to Regan.
"You?" asked Agneta as she stepped out of the room for a drink."Night, ma'am," said the person, who was none other than Key."Just call Agneta," said Agneta, to which Key nodded. "You've been here before?""I'm waiting for Dave; he hasn't come home yet, and his number can't be reached.""Where's Dave going?" asked Agnes."Dunno, Kay is looking for him."His heart had a bit of worry, but he tried not to care. "Then I'll go to the kitchen first," he said, to which Key nodded again.In the kitchen, Agneta heard Key talking to someone over the phone."How could that be? He's been advised to stop drinking!""It looks like something's been bothering him. No, it's not that; I think I know why.""Dave, what about him?" mumbled Agnes."Dave is always like this." Those words made Agneta turn around, and it turned out that Key was already in front of her. "I know I shouldn't say this, but I hope this helps and makes
Two days have passed since the incident; Dave is acting better than before; they are like a harmonious and happy family. Agneta felt happy whenever Dave could smile, even though, because of Regan's cuteness, Agneta didn't want to see Dave, who was lonely, down, and sad. He hoped this situation would never end."Agnet!" The call made him turn his head."Aiden," muttered Agneta when she saw Aiden walking towards her."Why is it so hard to contact you lately?" said Aiden."I'm busy; I'll excuse you, Aiden." Agneta rushed away because she didn't want any more unpleasant gossip, but Aiden pulled her arm so that Agneta was pulled until her body hit Aiden's body. At that moment, Agneta's long hair fluttered, and the red marks on her neck, which began to fade, were visible."Your neck-"Agneta quickly moved away from Aiden and brushed her long hair back to cover the mark. "Who?"Aiden looked at Agneta with a glare full of intimidation. They w
Agneta kept playing with her pen restlessly in her oversized chair, her eyes fixed on Dave, who was still busy doing something in his glass-limited room. Agneta looked away immediately as Dave shot her a confused look. This was the umpteenth time Dave caught Agneta staring at him."What is it?" asked Dave tugging Agneta. He looked at Dave with a look of surprise, also nervous. "Since you've been watching me, is there a problem?"Agneta didn't expect Dave to be so sensitive to her."T-that-" Agneta was suddenly nervous and confused to answer Dave's question.Dave looked at the watch that circled elegantly on his wrist. "I don't have much time Agneta, so say what you want to say.""I-i-that-" Agneta was confused about what to say. Would Dave believe her if she told the truth?"T-that, um...""What's wrong, Agnes?""Regan wants us to have dinner together," Agneta said quickly."Regan? Is that true?" Dave asked, raising an e
News about the death of the CEO of WT Group Company has spread widely throughout Indonesia and even outside Indonesia. There were some employees who were crying over Davero's passing, and some of them didn't care. This news also brings happiness to Aiden's mother but sadness to Agneta. Only Regan didn't know this news yet because Agneta didn't want to tell him first.Even though Kay had told her not to, Agneta insisted on attending Dave's funeral that afternoon.Agneta stood in the front row and stared blankly at Dave's frame, which was kept near the large flowers and also the sturdy wall that separated Dave's burial. Her tears kept flowing without being able to stop; her hands were intertwined, and she was busy playing with her and Dave's wedding rings.Not only was Agneta there, but France and Natalie were also there, as were Aiden's parents. Natalie and France kept staring at Agneta, who seemed to want to get rid of her immediately.One by one, people left the cemetery when the fun
One week has passed, and Agneta still can't believe that Dave is no longer with her. In the past, he really wanted Dave to go away, disappear—even disappear from the face of this earth—and stay away from his and Regan's lives. However, now why does it feel so empty and painful—even very painful? He felt half of him leave and disappear. Even the tears felt like they couldn't stop.Now he doesn't even know how he will continue his life with Regan but without Dave.The image of Dave's last moments with her kept playing in her head like a video that kept playing over and over again. Dave spent time with Regan, and they laughed together, a laugh that Dave rarely showed.On the other hand, Dave looked pensive, staring intently at the swimming pool in front of him with a glass of wine in his hand. He put one hand in his trouser pocket, and with the other, he held a goblet. Circumstances seemed to force him to sacrifice everything."Mr. Dave, we
"How is she?"Key knows what Dave means. "She looked gloomy and often kept to herself.""Is it true? Is everything safe?" asked Dave, pouring his whiskey into a glass with legs."Everything is fine; it seems there hasn't been any movement from the enemy. Key took the whiskey bottle in front of Dave, making him glare. " This time, obey the doctor's orders. Dave just snorted."How's Aldo? Is he still silent?" he asked."He keeps claiming he doesn't know anything; the man we killed yesterday paid for him. Unfortunately, they both remained silent. Actually, who is our enemy? Both France and Robert seem fine.""Could there be another enemy?" Key asked again."No, my feelings are telling between the two of them."A knock on the door woke them both up. "What is it?" asked Dave sharply to one of his bodyguards, who had just entered."We've got someone for you," he called out, causing Dave and Key to look at each other. After kee
