Rian shook his papa's hand, as proof that the company had been legally transferred to him. Papa Rian, really keep his promise. As soon as Rian got married, he immediately held a board meeting to announce the change of leadership in the office.
"Papa wishes you would do your best for the sake of this office as well as your household."
Rian's smile faded a little to hear Papa's words. It was as if the man knew something was wrong with his marriage.
Even so, Rian agreed to Papa's request. After the death of his father, Rian immediately sat himself in the seat of his greatness. Ambition achieved.
The man smiled with satisfaction. For him there was nothing happier than to occupy the highest seat in the office.
"This office is mine. Wijaya Group is mine."
Inner Rian grinned. Suddenly he grabbed his phone. Then contact someone. Not long after a man came in carrying a pile of files. Rian will be working today.
About work ethic, Rian is the champion, he has a high morale. One plus he has. After sending Brigitta a message that she's coming home for lunch.
The man should be sweet in front of his wife. Although he admitted, Brigitta started to have a place in Rian's heart. The woman slowly changed Rian's gaze, from the beginning who only wanted to take advantage of Brigitta. It became a feeling that began to make the man feel comfortable when with his wife.
Moreover, Brigitta managed to conceive her child. The man smiled. Considering her doctor said that the chances that she could have a child were very small. But look now, Brigitta could contain his flesh and blood.

Arash looked confusedly at Aldo who was prostrating before him. Cia had just come to her senses, the woman immediately shouted happily to see Arash in front of her. Cia feels that Arash is coming back to her. He had just suffered a shock that made his brain blank.
"Please, stay here. Until the operation is done."
Please Aldo. Both of them had just come out of the doctor's room and found out the shocking truth about Cia.
"There's a tumor in his brain. It's big enough. And we have to take it. But considering she was pregnant. We have to wait until she gives birth, and then we can operate on her. If we do it now. That's very risky."
The doctor's explanation makes Arash do not know what to do. He wants to get out of there. He wants to find Helena, his wife. He wants to explain everything.
But Cia's circumstances put her in a dilemma. Moreover, the woman asked him to be there. Awaiting him. Cia often has severe headaches. It made Arash feel sorry. Moreover, the team of doctors could not give any medicine to Cia, given the pregnancy of the woman.
If Arash has to wait for Cia until the surgery is done. That means three months. Arash broke his hair rough. What should he do.
In the midst of his confusion, William the papa asked to meet. In a matter of minutes, Arash was in front of William.
"So what happened?"
One short question from William, able to make Arash lost the word to answer. He who was in confusion did not know what to say.
"Select one of them. And let go of the others."
Arash immediately ventured to look at William's firm face.
"Arash will never let go of Helena. I will never divorce Helena. But for now there's something Arash has to take care of."
William raised one eyebrow. "You want to have both. Or is that kid your son?"
Arash clearly denied. He was very sure that Cia's child was not his. Until in the end in front of the papa, Arash took his decision. He'll be on Cia's side until the surgery is over. As for Cia's child, she will do a retest, once the child is born.
"Then tell Helena. Tell him about Cia's situation. Tell your wife what happened."
"Didn't Papa mind Helena's situation. It would be a long time for us to have a child, if Helena's circumstances were as she says."
Finally Arash asked. The two people looked at each other. William admitted, since being with Helena, Arash has changed a lot. The man is more mature. Care more about what's going on around him. Clearly, Arash is now able to sort out the good, the bad. Able to make decisions without hurry. Consider all the things that might happen before deciding on something.
One change that made William feel that forcing their betrothal was not a mistake. Although at first, he and Rafael were already prepared with the worst possibility, if the two could not agree with each other. Or both of them can not accept their respective characters. Until it ends in divorce.
"Before Papa decides to match you. Papa knows Helena's situation. But Papa thinks maybe Helena and Valerie won't be the same. Who knows, you could have children sooner. Even if our estimates miss. Mom and Dad are waiting to have a grandchild."
Arash's smile expands hearing the support of his father. Arash then told her that he had consulted his friend who is an obgyn doctor.
William mangosteen heard Arash's explanation. There was no anger in William's face. Helena's presence could change the son, William was already very grateful for that. For something else, they can take care of it later.

Arash contacted Helena several times, but her wife's phone was off. Arash clucked in annoyance. Eventually he contacted Shen, but an answer made Arash again swallow a sense of disappointment. Shen also had no idea where Helena was. With Ang and Shan.
The man decided to visit his father-in-law's house. Slightly afraid because Rafael's temperament was harsher than his father's. The man from the Liu clan was indeed famous for having two sides. The soft side when with loved ones and the scary side when dealing with people who have hurt their families.
When the door opened, he saw Rafael himself welcoming him. The man took Arash straight to his study. It's getting worse because of Arash's feelings. Moreover, Rafael's angry look was engraved clearly on his handsome face. A handsome face inherited directly by Hugo, Helena's sister.
"Say!"
Back, Arash is faced with circumstances that seem to put himself like a criminal. Suspect on the harshest felony charge with a father judge. Hurt daughter. Arash immediately swallowed his hard-earned saliva. Raphael looked like a lion ready to shake its prey. Horrifically.
Raphael has exactly the same nature as his father. Kaizo Aditya's. The successors of the famous Liu clan were resolute. Will punish those found guilty indiscriminately. Reject firmly what is not in accordance with his wishes. And able to find a gap in the weakness of the opponent.
"I'm not going to divorce Helena. But in the meantime there's something I'm gonna take care of first."
Rafael's eyes are squeaking. One answer from Arash is enough to prove that Helena is not Arash's priority. Angry, that's what Rafael is feeling. The man already felt tightness in his chest every time he saw Helena crying.
No, he would not let the princess cry. But Rafael has not opened his mouth to speak. When the door opened and entered a man who was unceremoniously stale hit Arash in the face with a punch.
"Leave my brother, if you just make him cry!"
Shouted Hugo furiously. The 21-year-old stared intently at Arash.
"This is a warning from me. Stay away from my brother!"
