Happy reading. . .
The traffic jakarta was incredible. Mira just arrived at the workshop at four o'clock and forty-five minutes. So, she decided not to go back to the office but went straight home.
On the way to her apartment, Mira thinks about George. The man was indeed haughty but there was something interesting from within him. Maybe handsome. But the more Mira dissolves into her thoughts about the man, the more she realizes that there is a good side to George. At least he has shown his sense of responsibility by offering marriage.
Mira stopped the car because the traffic lights had changed to red. His mind wandered back in time when he met George the day after the accident. Unknowingly an amused smile rang on Mira's lips as she thought of George's words, “Ya, we must solve this problem. Let's get married. Proceed with me. I need you.”
The honking sound of the car behind Mira restores the woman's consciousness. Mira swears. “Sials." Mira immediately moved a gear, stepped on the gas and drove at a moderate speed.
On the way to his apartment Mira still imagines George's brown hair, his hazel eyes, his jaw firmly as well as the muscles of the man's body. George is better at everything physical, but not his behavior. George Goldsmith is still very interesting.
Before arriving at her apartment, Mira stops by the supermarket to shop. The food in the fridge is almost gone. Mira spends a lot of time shopping. As a result, Mira brought two bags full of her groceries.

George immediately returned to the hotel and immediately had Steve make a written document for Miranda Starlin and after that he had to carry out George's plan for the woman.
Steve nodded and immediately carried out his boss's orders. Steve guessed that George had been right – was really interested in the woman so he was willing to do anything to get the woman to agree to his offer.
On one side Steve was happy because there was a woman who was able to attract the attention of George. Three years was enough for the man to act cold. For three years George lived with no concern for others. Even himself he doesn't care.
Ever since feeling the heartache of her lover's betrayal in the past George has been living without believing in women and love anymore. He suffered. George harbors a deep pain but he always manages to cover it up.
Now is the right time for him to change. Now he must feel happiness. And Miranda Starlin is her happiness, Steve thought. I hope that.
Steve feels guilty about sacrificing Mira in George's plan. How not ? Steve prints some photos of Mira at the hotel bar and the woman in and out of Goerge's room (pictured from CCTV footage).
George orders Steve to send the photos to Mira's friends and to his parents and make up a story that Mira has a side job as a comfort woman, if only he had refused George's offer. Poor mira.
George is always looking for the weakness of every enemy so that he can succeed in getting whatever he wants. And Steve is George's capable accomplice. Steve does this kind of work a lot. Engineer and defamatory. Miranda Starlin has become an enemy of George. And they both know that the woman's good name and her family's good name are Mira's weaknesses. A good name is an honor that a woman should always take care of.

After Mira arrived at her apartment, she immediately opened the door, closed it and immediately turned on the lights in the living room. When she turned to put her grocery bag in the kitchen, Mira was surprised by the presence of George Goldsmith sitting on her living room couch smiling cunningly . Mira was aghast and screamed so that her grocery bag fell.
“You ? What are you doing here ? how did you get in my apartment?”
"That's not important. I'm here because I have something for you." George throws some photos on the living room table.
Mira's body trembled at the photos. "What does all this mean? Are you threatening me ?"
"Are you scared?" George grinned. "Imagine what would happen if those photos were scattered." George's voice sounded threatening. "How would your friends react if they found out about this photo. Oh, and how would your parents react if they found out about this and of course about your side job."
"What do you mean?" peekkik Mira's. "You clearly know that's not true. Don't slander. I'm not a woman...."
"Yes... You're not." cut George. "But are you sure your friends will believe it? And your parents. Are you sure they'll believe your words after they see this?"
Mira looked at George with a sharp look. "What do you want from me, Mr. George ? Say it! What do you want from me? " cried Mira.
The man again - again grinned. "just simple. Accept my offer."
Simple? What is simple? inner Mira. From the beginning, everything about George Goldsmith was not simple.
Then George gave Mira a document. "Read then sign this" the man said firmly.
A few seconds later Mira looked at George with a look of disbelief. "How could you possibly think of writing a deal like this ? A normal marriage I don't want, let alone a fake marriage like this. Are you crazy?"
"I've never been this crazy, Mira" said George flatly.
"Don't be selfish. Did you know all this time all you did was argue... That's all you do." George snapped.
Mira looked very irritated, but she could not argue. The woman opened her mouth and then in an instant closed it back.
George felt like he had the wind. Soon he will win the battle.
"Now" said George again. "Think about your parents. Thoughts about the possibility of you getting pregnant. The child you bear is not only your son, but also my son. Do you want when he was born he didn't have a father?"
"Now it's too early to conclude that I'm pregnant" Mira quickly said.
George watched Mira's trembling body. "Sit down first. You need to sit."
Mira did not listen to George's words but just closed her eyes and pinched her forehead which did not hurt.
George growling. Oh my God, give me patience.
"Sit down, Miranda." George gave the order.
When Mira looked at George, the man's eyes flashed. Finally he said the man's words.
"Good." said George. "Now listen to me."
"I listened to you today, asshole." Mira reminded.
"We were only married for one year. After that you're free." continued George. "You just have to sign that marriage contract and do it obediently for a year. I dare guarantee you nothing to lose."
At an age, only this time Mira felt a heavy burden in her life. Everyone has a moment where they have to make a choice. And now Mira has that moment.
Silence hung for a moment as the atmosphere between them was filled with various unspeakable things. Especially Mirah. He doesn't know what to say.
"So, how did you decide?" George asked impatiently. "If you don't agree, then be prepared to accept the worst. You're definitely not gonna like what I'm gonna do with those photos." George warned.
"I don't know" muttered Mira, hating that she couldn't think.
While standing Mira again muttered, "Best be a little. Give me some time to think about it," asked Mira.
George was disappointed but somehow he agreed. "alright. I'll give you until tomorrow."
Before entering the room, Mira's gaze locked onto George. A determination was clearly emblazoned on the man's face. Based on that determination Mira realized that this was not the end but this was the beginning.
