I don't know how I faced Aldo without having a breakdown that day. He was quiet and observant, and even if he didn't say it, I knew he had an idea. It's good that he didn't bother me to come to the office; even Arkan has been left with me for the past few days.I can't be quiet about the conversation the old man and I had. I didn't even try to open the envelope for fear that it might be a check, and when I opened it, I would actually be kicked out. I was confused about what to do, so I tried to call Alice."Latest chika, Mayu? What's up?" She even giggled.I was sad, but when Arkan looked at me while playing on the floor, I tried to smile."No chika, Alice, but a problem.""Huh? Aren't you and Aldo on the next level yet?" She was confused.I sighed and sat at the edge of the bed."For Aldo, it's pretty okay. But for Don Frederick, it's vague. Very vague, Alice," I uttered weakly.When the conversation comes back to my memory, my chest tightens. I feel that my personality has been crus

At eight o'clock, after Aldo left, we went straight to the hospital. Alice is already there and may have signed up for the form.To be honest, I kind of lost the will to look any further. I don't know if now is the wrong time to get pregnant. The weight inside that I already accept, there are people who don't like it. It never crossed my mind that the old man really didn't like me, and even though the decision was Aldo's, I knew he was still thinking about his grandpa.It's hard to be stuck in the middle. In fact, Aldo can release me at any time, but he still considers me for Arkan.The rich and poor, like me, cannot really be together. I hope they make this a legal law so that no poor person makes the mistake of falling in love with a high-class person.But that is not humane! Why is it that even if everyone is said to be equal, there is and still is someone who is more powerful?"Mom, why are we here? Are you sick?" Arkan asked, holding my hand tightly.Since I couldn't carry him an

I don't know what happened after that. I just woke up on the sofa with a headache, and Arkan was in front of me in tears."Mommy, I think you're dying," he cried.Conscience enveloped me, and I immediately sat down, causing me to hold my forehead."Ma'am, just calm down." Rizza stopped me.After catching a glimpse of Rizza staring at me, I remembered our earlier conversation, and even though I was still dizzy, I stood up immediately."Let's go, Arkan. We're going to see your Daddy."I reached for his hand, which also held me tightly."Mom, you're not okay," he said weakly."Ma'am Mayu, don't go on. Just stay here—" "Shut up, Rizza. I can't keep quiet if I'm just here. What right do they have to take the father of my children?"She gasped as her eyes widened, but didn't ask. I didn't even ask how she knew everything or when she talked to Don. My focus is to get to Smith Corporation. I can't be stopped.Arkan held me well, and even though Rizza called us, I kept going to the gate. I do

My hand was shaking after putting down the cellphone I was holding. Don Frederick won't stop until he gets what he wants. Now, I'm debating whether to continue or not. But I want to top it all off. I want to fight for Aldo and Arkan to stop the old man.I clenched my fists, and even though I had no idea how I was going to win, I was determined to face it.I took a deep breath before going down to the kitchen. A smile spontaneously formed on my lips after seeing Aldo cook French toast for Arkan. I am satisfied that Arkan's energy has returned; even the house has come back to life."Mom! Daddy said we're going to have a picnic!" It was his happy news.My smile widened, and I gave a thumbs up, just in time for Aldo to come forward and raise the corner of his lips."We'll just eat breakfast, then we're good to go," he informed.Suddenly, my smile froze after remembering that I also had to face his grandfather today."Is there something wrong? Don't you want a picnic?""Oh?" When I turned

I can't believe he's accusing me of infidelity with his grandfather! Out of all the men you can think of, it's actually his grandfather!I took a deep breath before walking out of the mansion. I really shudder when I remember his question. If only he knew that I came here for us, he might have been happy—maybe not.Hey! What's wrong with him coming here and visiting his grandfather? because I am not close to the old man?I stopped after realizing something. Suddenly, my knees shook. Is this another set-up?Did the old man play with us again? Was it wrong that I trusted him? Maybe this is what he really wants to happen—that Aldo thinks I'm attached to him.I'm stupid. Why would he choose to marry me to his grandson when he doesn't like me? Why did I believe it right away? Now I have to explain to Aldo since I appear to be the one who is wrong.Brilliant, Mr. Frederick! Why didn't I think of this earlier? His acting is great; I wish he'd just become an actor!I closed my eyes and could
