HAREM THE RULER

LAZARUS'S PLAN

Lazarus' face turned serious. "I found our Angela. Angela-ku. "she smiles with happiness.

The surprised Samuel stood up and sat back down. His body trembled from being too happy, he hugged Lazarus. "Lazarus. Thanks..hiks. "as soon as Samuel cried.

Lazarus had wanted to push Samuel's body into his arms, but remembered Samuel's struggle to find Angela desperately as he had. "Hhhhh, "he finally patted Samuel on the back.

Samuel took off his arms from Lazarus, wiping away the tears that escaped his eyes. "Ah why am I like this? I'm really very happy. I just- "his words were stuck, he was so moved.

"I'll tell you everything. Where Angela is now and I need your help, too" Lazarus begins to recount the beginning of his reunion until he recounts Angela's current circumstances.

Samuel listened with a serious face, after Lazarus had finished his story he looked at Lazarus. "You're sure Angela has an ulterior motive for coming back now?"

Lazarus nodded. "Very sure. When I was fishing for him, he even teased me. We, hem. Uhuk... You understand, right?"

Samuel rolled his eyeballs, "You're such a pervert! Just met and the first thing you did was 'it'. Fuck you!"

"Hey! It wasn't me who wanted to, but my junior hasn't let out his bursts for five years! Imagine you haven't fucked Ella for five years, I guarantee your juniors will be more dying than me! Huh!" Lazarus confirmed his behavior.

Lazarus was right, he without Ella would not be able to survive like Lazarus. Not just dying, it's going to die horribly. "So what help do you need from me?" Ask Samuel.

"As I said, Angela didn't come because she loved me. I have to be careful around him, you know his nature. I need you and Ella to get close to him. Pretending not to know her, let her open up to you. If I were to approach him now, it would seem like it would take a long time."

Samuel nodded, he understood. "Well, what's your plan now?"

"In two days at the Main residence there will be a welcoming party for Amanda's return. Only the upper-class guests will be there. Come, I'll give you the invitation. You are no longer a discarded family, you are no longer considered one eye by your family. You've now planted your roots in the Montana family."

"All thanks to your help Lazarus, thank you for everything."

"Easy! Friends don't deserve to always be grateful, do they?" Lazarus smiled.

Samuel smiled mockingly. "Friends? You and me? Just be right! Oi! That so-called friend is still sending your subordinates to follow and spy on me? It's called a shameless friend! Ckkp... "

Lazarus laughed at hearing it. "Haha it turns out you know my subordinates are still following you. Samuel, I don't trust you! But I don't trust Angela. If when she meets you and asks you not to tell me, you'll do it, right?"

Samuel thinks Lazarus' words have a point, however, Angela's feelings matter. Although he knows Lazarus' feelings for Angela are sincere, but when Angela learns of Lazarus's feelings for him, he finds out, doesn't that mean Angela will accept Lazarus' feelings or maybe even be unable to forgive Lazarus's behavior to her even if it's just a charade?

"Alright, just follow your plan. I'm gonna take Ella to the party." Samuel answered Lazarus' plan.

"Ok, now I have to go. Amanda is waiting for me" Lazarus said, standing up.

Samuel stood up, "Let me know if there's anything." He patted Lazarus' arm.

Lazarus nodded, he immediately walked up to the door and opened it. He checked the situation outside the room, immediately stepped foot through the door when he felt safe.

Samuel left by Lazarus sits back, recalling the events of five years ago.

*

Upon hearing from his friend Daniel, Angela, who had come out of Harem, Samuel tells Ella. He tracks her whereabouts, before long knowing that Angela lives in his old house.

But for days and even months he could only watch from afar. When he first discovered Angela's whereabouts he immediately stormed to enter the house, but was blocked by men in black like bodyguards, only the guards were hiding.

Angela never contacted him, she tried to contact him was never connected, contact by email was never reply. Given Angela's words to her while out of the hotel room for her and Ella to hide, it seems Angela deliberately changed her phone number so that she and Ella are safe.

When he went to see Ella back at their apartment, he regretted the day. By the time he returned to Angela's house, the whole house was already burning with fire. He got out of the car screaming for everyone, but there was no answer.

Throwing away his thoughts, he drove his car speeding to the Lazarus residence, Harem.

When he reached the Harem, he hit the front gate with his car. When he got out of the car, he slammed the door in a rage that could not be held back. The guards who were there stormed him, pointing their guns at him. "I am Samuel, tell your Master. Let me meet him!" His shouting.

The guards no one wanted to hear him, he shouted back. "Lazarus! Get out you bastard! Tell me where Angela is! Out you!"

Suddenly a bespectacled man walked up to him, "Stop yelling, follow me!"

Samuel immediately followed him into a room that seemed to be a workroom, in it scattered the broken things. He continued to follow in the footsteps of the man in front of him entering a bedroom.

"Look, you want to see Mister, right?" Said the man with the look of his eyes staring in a direction.

Samuel followed the direction of the man's gaze, stunned by the sight before his eyes. All the clothes of Lazarus were drenched in blood, which was horrendous were both of his palms. Seen large gaping incision wounds, still bleeding that is not stopped. "Lazarus... Why is he?" Ask.

The man who took her to Dalan replied to her. "At that time Mr. Angela was going to give birth, she was very worried but also excited to see him soon, and then we left. But while on the way to check on Madam, we immediately called the Hospital. They said the lady who was about to give birth had not yet come. We turned towards the Madam's residence, feeling that something was amiss. But by the time we walked down the road to the Madam's House, all those terrible things had already happened. Our mistress went missing, searched everywhere for a few hours but couldn't find her. When you go home, you hurt yourself as you see it now." His voice is full of sadness.

"Mr Lazarus loves Mrs Angela very much, all this time everything that you've done for the good of the Madam" he continued.

Samuel then hears all the stories about the first time Lazarus met Angela who saved him, then the second time at the party was also all the cruel behavior of Lazarus and all the events that had happened to Lazarus and Angela.

Samuel's body trembled, he did not expect all this time Lazarus always took care of Angela, always loved her.

"My name is Albert, Mr. Samuel Montana."

"You know me?" Samuel.

"Everyone Sir. Even Mr. Lazarus already knows your play with Madam. You once said you wanted to thank me for always looking after Madam."

He still could not believe hearing everything, it turned out that all this bad news about Lazarus was not true. "I'm ak-" Samuel's voice choked, unable to continue his words.

"Look, now I'm busy. I must take care of Mr. Lazarus. If possible, I will contact you. Mr. Lazarus is eager to help you get your rights in the Montana family."

Samuel again nodded, not answering. He really can't speak anymore. He turned his body away from there, unable to see Lazarus' miserable state.

FLASHBACK FIVE YEARS AGO OFF.
