Arkana sat in her room while constantly monitoring her computer screen, her hand opened her desk drawer and took out a pendant necklace and a picture frame of a little girl playing in mud.
The photo he got from an old woman guard of the orphanage ten years ago, when he accidentally saw her, while visiting with her father.
The woman said that because she was getting old and not strong enough to take care of many children, most of the children had been transferred to other orphanages.
Arkana has since begun inspecting all the orphanages in the city but has not had satisfactory results, other than information that the girl was adopted by someone.
If Arkana remembers again, ever since he met the little girl in that frame Arka never knew her name. They never seem to exchange names.
Perhaps Arka first learned the girl's name when she saw a name written on the pendant that she had been keeping well. The name appeared when the two box-shaped pendants were combined.
Samanta Leona Xavier's
For a moment, Arka felt it was just a coincidence whose name was similar to his ex-wife. But when Irene explains that the letter L is for the name of Xavier's mistress, and X is lord Xavier of the underworld.
Arka was silent for so long that she could not sleep. The other thing was the report from his Secretary who said;
"Sir, there are some girls named Samanta who were born in the city 23 years ago, but whose name is Samanta Leona, it is only one daughter of Mr and Mrs Xavier, who is the daughter of Mr. Xavier, none other than your own Ex-Wife..."
"We also found that his name was recorded in several orphanages, until finally he was adopted by the James family.”
"Have you really investigated everything?" Arkana asked still in the same position.
Edward nodded confidently, "Yes, Sir. I've done it all.”
"Lantas, why can't the Xavier family find him if his name is recorded?”
"Master, based on my investigation Xavier's family never published his name, so I guess that's why the parlors never contacted miss.”'s family
Arkana nodded, well that also made sense.The Xavier family was already famous for being very secretive, it was not easy to get information from them and no one dared to disturb their lives.
In addition to his enemies or business competitors who do not like to see the success of their families. Basically, his family is not much different. The abduction he had experienced was also due to his father's enemies.
Incidentally, he was met with Samanta at their place in the middle.
"Alright, then thank you for your hard work I will give you a bonus for your monthly salary.”
Hearing the word bonus, Edward suddenly became excited again. For almost a week now he has been on overtime duty, not to mention his role as Secretary, outside of working hours he will play the role of Arkana's personal assistant, he also takes on the role of his personal driver.
It is fitting that he gets a great salary.
“Good, thank you sir. Is there anything I have to do again Sir?” Edward stood at Arkana's desk with his note and pen, ready to take down the source of his money.
“Ah, there is one more. Investigate about a scandal that has not been around for a long time.” Arka gave the order to Edward again.
"Mister, about the scandal of Miss's closeness with a famous actor?” Edward looked at Arkana to make sure.
Edward frowned after he recorded everything. One year or so ago, during the course of his Boss' marriage, the bear man never allowed them to call Samanta, Madam.
He said the call was inappropriate for a replacement. So they just call Samanta Miss..
The title Mistress for Arkana is only appropriate to be given to the little girl who always tried Arka findings. At first, he thought it was Irene. Unexpectedly, the title in the end remains attached to the self of Samanta.
Edward looked at his boss for a moment and said, "Sorry, but the mistress title can only be given to your wife.”
"So you think Samanta isn't my wife?” The gaze given by Arka was sharp, so it managed to make him choke.
Edward looked at his boss dazedly with quivering lips, he nodded and replied: "Yes Sir, Miss is no longer your wife. You guys have been Divorced for almost a month.”
"....Let's go and meet him, prepare a car for me.” Arkana Commandments.
"But sir..”.
Arkana's gaze poked Edward in the face, "What else is it?”
"Your house has been empty since your divorce occurred, according to your wishes miss has gone somewhere, so your master will not find it.”
"Prepare the car for me!” arkana's tone of voice suddenly shot up.
Edward came out and left Arkana alone in his room. The man's gaze turned mellow, and the pain in his heart again gnawed at him just like the previous nights.
The car drove towards their house, arriving there Arka only saw Mr. Tono at the guard post. After the car was parked, Arka went straight into the house where there were no residents, he ran and entered Samanta's room.
He fell to his knees on the floor of Samanta's room, a note on the wall:
Thank you, and goodbye. I pray for your happiness, I hope we never meet again

Arkana squeezes the note and throws it into any direction, she then opens the desk drawer to look for clues but all she finds is another Note; the;
I've returned all that compensation to your lawyer, I don't need your property so I subverted some of it to help the economy of some of my orphanages in your name, and some of it is in my adoptive family's hands, if you have any business looking for them, I don't want to be in touch with you anymore.

In the bottom drawer, Arkana found an old black box that made her instantly surprised, a box with AF lettering engraved on it, Arkana's hands trembled as she picked up the old box.
Slowly. Arka opened the box and found a small gold ring, the size of the children inside, the ring was now inside a necklace.
Maybe because it does not fit on Samanta's finger so that the girl was creative to make it a necklace.
Arkana's tears this time completely fell, she clasped the ring and fell to her knees on the floor again. Hugging and putting her hand on her chest Arkana said in a soft voice; “So it really is you.”.
