The incident left me stunned, lunch? Hadn't he eaten with me earlier, then why is he eating lunch again this time. Strange. Do I have to follow them?

"Please take out the latest car that I ordered yesterday for my husband's birthday!"

"Yes, Mum."

I stood waiting for Jamil's work. A few moments later a brand-new Maybach was parked in front of me. Mr Jamil came out and handed me the keys.

"Are you sure you can drive it yourself?"

I smiled and nodded, "you'd better go home, make the most of the free time with the family!"

"Thank you, Mum."

I quickly got into the car, started the engine and drove off at high speed to catch up with my husband's car. My breathing was a little labored as the tightness began to set in.

This was my first experience driving the best and least produced car. I had intended to give my best to my beloved husband, but in fact, things didn't work out.

As the car entered the playground, there was a strange sense of direction. Why to the playground, but I continued to enter and followed them until they parked their vehicles. I still followed them from behind.

My eyes rounded, I saw them hugging a little man.

"Papa!" The little man exclaimed.

My heart throbbed, the word papa instantly darkened my vision until I staggered backwards and fell on the man's bloodied body.

"Sir, sorry ...."

I froze, staring at the cold-faced man with blood running down his arm. "Mister, are you hurt?"

I paused to stare at his handsome face, so mesmerising that even blinking was reluctant. The visuals were so tempting to me. Although his body was full of wounds and melted blood, but his face was still cold and flat.

My whole being trembled when his gaze was only on me. My lips couldn't move, so all I could do was nod my head.

"Sorry, you'd better come with me. This wound needs to be treated!"

The man nodded in agreement, then he grabbed my arm asking me to help him up. My steps were a little shaky because I couldn't support his tall body.

With a little trouble carrying his body, I finally reached my destination. I placed her tired body on the bench beside the steering wheel.

"Are you still able to hold on, sir?"

"Just take me to the nearest hotel, Miss. Let my man continue!"

As if on cue, I drove my car to the nearest hotel. Moreover, her messy condition made me unable to leave her alone.

"Could you please bring a first aid kit to treat my husband's injuries, Miss!" I asked the receptionist after the check-in process.

After saying that, I immediately took him to the room I had booked. The man was so obedient that it made my job of treating his wounds easier.

The hotel service came, they brought the medicine box and lunch I'd ordered.

"Thank you." He said softly, still with his flat gaze.

I just nodded, I cleaned up all the medical equipment and put it in its place. Then I looked at his face which was starting to turn red as if he was holding something back.

"Are you hungry, sir?"

"Can I ask you another favour, Miss?"

I froze, savouring his soft voice. A voice that had been greeting my ears for a long time. It was like a long-kept dream.

"Just say it!"

The man was still silent, his gaze never leaving my face making me misbehave. He slowly got up and took a step towards me, my heart beating faster.

'What does he want?

I was still standing there staring at him questioningly. My brain wandered to find a reason if there was something more he wanted with my body. However, his movements were so fast that he pressed me against the wall.

"I seem to have been poisoned, please help me!"

Her soft words with a hopeful look in her eyes had me laughing, all my organs were so hard to move. 'God, what's wrong with my body?'

"Miss, how old are you?"

"24."

"Good!"

Before I could ask him what he meant, suddenly my lips were in his power. I gasped in shock, but my body was so carried away by his passion that it was hard for me to resist.

As he very gently touched my entire body, I could no longer resist. My sighs sounded clayey making him even more powerful over my body.

We made love for a long time until morning when I woke up, I felt the other side of the bed. It was empty! I faintly heard the sound of water. 'Maybe he's taking a shower. This is my chance to escape.'

I quickly grabbed my clothes and put them on. I caught a glimpse of my wallet and shoes still lying on the floor. I grabbed them and took a step towards the door.

Before my hand could reach the main door handle, the bathroom door opened. There was a restraining voice. "Stop!"

I stared at the door, slowly hearing steps approaching. A hand grabbed my shoulder and moved me round until I could see that handsome face again.

Her still-damp black hair flowed forward, her white neck flowing with clear beads of water, and her open towel robe exposing her broad, muscular chest. It was a sight that made it difficult for me to swallow my saliva. My voice caught in my throat.

"I have to go, there's still work to be done. I'm sorry!"

"What's your name, Miss?"

The voice that was so sexy made me feel hypnotised, my hand reached into my small bag and came out holding a business card. Then I handed over the card

"Just call this number if anything happens to your wound, sir!"

"I'm actually grateful for your help, Miss."

"Well, I'll be going then, sir!"

After saying that, I quickly left the hotel room that was full of beautiful memories and firsts for me. All this time I had kept my chastity untouched by Taufik, but reality was playing tricks on me.

I never thought it would come to this, that my crown would be so easily surrendered to an outsider I had just met. It was strange, but my soul felt comfortable when his fingers began to touch it.

'God, is it my fault? I'm just going with the flow.'

My mind kept wandering back to the short story of last night as I walked towards the hotel lobby. Last night's beautiful romance bathed in fragrant sweat made me smile to myself until I unknowingly reached the lobby.

"Good morning, Ms Gerald."

"Morning, my car please!"

For a moment, I saw my car had rolled up and stopped right in front of me. The hotel gave me my keys, and I quickly got in and started the engine.

I drove my vehicle along the highway of Magnolia's capital city. My gaze scanned the streets, which were still deserted. It might be too early if I went straight to the company. I decided to go back to the apartment first.

"Yes, this might be better, while cleaning myself," I said, still driving in the opposite direction.

The city streets are still only a few vehicles passing by, this makes me drive more freely. It didn't take long, finally my vehicle arrived.

The swing of my legs felt so light as if my pain of betrayal was gone. I smiled all the way until some neighbours looked at me in surprise.

"You don't usually see Ms Andara smiling so much. Wow, you're happy!" Said a neighbour whose flat happened to be next door to mine.

"Yes, I see, Mrs Johan."

"I hope you continue to be happy afterwards."

A string of heartfelt prayers escaped Mrs Johan's lips making me laugh lightly as my fingers began to punch in some numbers for the apartment door password.

I paused and stared in wonder at the small black board. I had repeatedly entered several numbers and the door had yet to open.

"What's going on?" A question escaped me spontaneously, I frowned looking for the reason why my own apartment door password had changed without my knowledge.

"Strange, what's going on?" I monologued.

"What is it, Mrs Gerald. Can I help you?" asked Mr Johan.

"Ah, nothing. Maybe I just entered the wrong code, Mrs and Mr Johan." I tried to hide the fact in front of the beautiful woman next door and her husband.

I saw the questioning look on Mrs Johan's face, accompanied by a frown on her forehead. This made me even more suspicious. Could there be something going on that I didn't know about?

"What's wrong, Mrs Johan. Did something happen last night?"

"I don't know for sure, Ms Andara. But last night when we were returning from dinner, there was a sharp exchange of words inside. However, we couldn't understand whose voice it was either."

I was still standing at the door, staring in confusion. Then the events of the ride came to light. Could this be the three of them? I remained silent, still wondering if I should call Taufik.

"Call Taufik, Ms Andara."

Before my fingers had moved to press the numbers, the apartment door opened and a beautiful woman holding a boy appeared. Instantly my chest felt painful. 'Isn't this the woman who was with Taufik on the ride?'

"Sorry, who are you?" I asked in a trembling tone.

"Who's that outside, darling?" A familiar male voice greeted my ears.

'It's not wrong, is it?" my soul instantly trembled. That voice belonged to Taufik.

I was still standing there transfixed by the intimacy of the little family. With all the strength I had left I waited for the man to come out.

A moment later Taufik came out, neatly dressed and with his briefcase. Handsome. Yes, my man did have the advantage of his face that so many women wanted him even though he was only a bed warmer.

"Taufik... explain all this!"

"Andara, later. I have to take Arkha to school immediately. Wait for me at the office!"

After giving an answer to my question, Taufik immediately walked hand in hand with the woman. I could see that they were as intimate as a happy little family.

I felt like a stupid goat that could be easily played with. Finally, a gentle pat from Mrs Johan snapped me out of my reverie.

"Stop daydreaming. Go in and clean your body first, Ms Andara. Then come to my house!"

I didn't say much. Instead, I stepped inside and did as Mrs Johan said. In a few moments everything is in order. Your gaze scans the entire room leaving only the scent of that woman.

'Am I wrong if my heart hurts so much? Even though I enjoyed the romance last night, it hurts too much.'

My mind is hurting, but I don't know why my man is doing all this. What he wanted I always fulfilled unconditionally.

This affair was too painful. Treasure, throne and love have all been poured out without a trace. Now, this morning's scene seemed to whip my patience.

'Fine, if this is what you want. I'll follow everything you want, Taufik!'

I quickly cleaned up my dirty clothes. I picked out the ones I only wore, leaving the rest in the basket. I knew that last night she had gone through my wardrobe and put them on.

Not only that, some of my jewellery was also missing. I caught a glimpse of my diamond necklace around the woman's neck. Not only that. Even my latest shoes had been worn by her.

"Huft hah." I complained while looking at the laundry I had put in the washing machine. "Now just fold it. On my way."

I threw away all the worries in my heart, and stepped outside. However, this time I didn't do what Mrs Johan told me to do.

So I called the beautiful lady and apologised for not coming to their house. After all the home and personal matters were done, I stepped out of the apartment again and headed to the company.

The journey was so smooth, I wanted to go back in time so that I wouldn't encounter this kind of pain. It's hard, very hard to believe all the events of the past two days.

Everything is moving fast against me. What I had been fighting for turned out to be an illusion, my man betrayed me. Since the road was quiet, I drove quickly to the company.

I glimpsed the latest metallic red Porsche parked there. My lips unconsciously smiled sadly. I had just bought that car for my husband, but he wasn't the one driving it.
