Three years ago ….
Just like his mouth, Alex's two eyes were perfectly circular. This is shocking, even in the mind it is never imagined: an encounter with a human being raised from the dead.
“A-amelia?” he said he mentioned the name of the man.
In the living room of her house was already sitting Amelia on the sofa. The woman smiled wearing a white dress and her blackened hair. If Amelia wasn't pretty, Alex would have run away from that place. Where there's a pretty-faced ghost. Instead of fear, people will race to marry them.
“Hai, Alex,” greet Amelia. He raised his right hand.
“You're Lia, right? There's no way you're someone else.” Alex approached Amelia with a face of admiration.
“If I said I was this guy, would you believe it?” Amelia presented documents containing Sofia's biodata.
Alex sat down after retrieving the documents. He was even more amazed after seeing it.
“I'll believe you said you were Sofia. But I still believe that you are Lia,” Alex replied.
“I am Amelia. I'm here to take your promise. Didn't you say to tell you when I needed help?”
It's been three years. Apparently Amelia carried that promise until her death.
“So what do you need?”
“Thirty percent stock Maha Dewi Group.”
“Are you crazy?! Let alone me, David doesn't even have such high shares!”
Ah, finally the name was heard after all these years. Amelia lowered her head.
“By the way ... How about David? Does he know about you?” ask Alex.
“Only you know about me because I need your help,” replied Amelia.
“I told you it's not easy to get shares that high!” firmly Alex.
“But I had to destroy Mula because my brother had killed her!” Amelia insists more.
Alex was surprised to hear that. Apparently not Amelia, even her brother who died. Alex's heart was touched to see Amelia's face began to cover clouded.
“Good.” Alex is not sure, but he will try. “But I'm a businessman. We work not to return the favor, but to make a profit. So what can you give me?”
Amelia's head was rising again. The smile on his face was so bright. “Two hundred billion.”
The value of the money was huge, but Alex laughed instead. “Do you joke? If people can get shares that high with that kind of money, anyone can control that group. The pay of Indian artists can be even more than that.”
From the beginning, fighting Mula was not easy. To fight such a strong person, Amelia had to become strong. However, strength was not obtained easily. Only those who dared to enter were at great risk.
“I will give you Maha Dewi Group,” Amelia asserted.
Alex's laughter stopped. That's a big bet. Any businessman will be shocked when he hears it.

Amelia just got back from picking up Dodik. He was surprised because Mula was already sitting in her guest chair. Amelia tells her son's nanny to take Dodik to the room and forbids him to come out until Amelia herself arrives.
“The mrs is here? Why didn't you tell me earlier? At least I won't make Madam wait so long,” Amelia said with her sweet demeanor.
He first turned his gaze around. He looked around every corner of Rico Bintara's residence.
“I didn't expect you to actually build a palace with my two hundred billion dollars.” He started to boast.
Amelia scrunched her forehead. “What does Madam mean? I don't understand.” at all
“Lia? But I'm Sofia.”
“Do you think I would believe that?”
The frown on Sofia's forehead loosened little by little. His serious face melted. He finally laughed. “As I thought, Madam is indeed a smart person. I should have trouble fooling your son.”
“You still involve yourself in my son's life. Aren't you going to step aside after getting your two hundred billion?”
“Amelia has stepped aside, Madam. He's already dead. The person who is in front of you and is involving himself in your son's life is Sofia. Sofia Caramella.”
“You made a game and made me come into play apparently.”
“What's interesting?”
“Of course it's interesting, because I won't let you win this game.”
“Really? Why are you so sure, madam? This person you are dealing with is Sofia, not that weak and pitiful Amelia. We'd better see tomorrow, who's going to win the first move.”
“Rupanya this game has gone a long way.”
“No, Mistress. This game has even just started.”
Just getting started? Started what? At first he had not even thrown his chest, but he had already been defeated.
David finally met her in his room. That's very rare. At first it was nice to see David's presence, but his smile immediately broke as David said his point.
“I will make Sofia Caramella as the main model of our company.”
“What are you doing, David?” ask Dagel to David. Then Dagel turned towards Mula. “Say something, Brother. This is not true.”
“Sorry, Om. I'm just here to say my decision, not to ask your opinion,” said David firmly on his decision.
Start waking up. He was about to say his objection, but David instead stepped away. The initial gaze followed David's footsteps with widened eyes. Then he dropped his ass on the chair. Both of his hands were clenched on the table.
“We have to plan something,” says Mula.
“How about we tell Sofia the truth?”
“Didn't you remember that David even went after Lia, despite knowing that she had received two hundred million from me?!” mula Sentak. He vented his anger at Dagel.
This story is not over. Amelia returned with her strength, while Mula became increasingly weak. I didn't even have a position in the company. He only has his son.

Amelia got a call yesterday from David. He said they should meet to discuss the contract. Amelia went to David's company. However, it was not David that Amelia met in her room, but Mula who was sitting on David's work chair.
“You can still sit there. But Madam, you no longer look fit to sit there. You're old,” taunts Amelia.
“Are you so arrogant for having won this little game?” ask Mula cynically. She really hated the smile on Amelia's face.
“Of course. You never win once.” Amelia laughed at Mula.
“Don't be too haughty because you managed to snatch my son's heart again. Even if I hurt her, the blood that flows through her body will not stop. Anyway I'm his mother. Until whenever he won't be able to hurt me.”
“I know that. Of course I know that right. But you know what's more interesting than that?”
Suddenly someone opened the door of the room.
“I have no intention whatsoever, Madam. I just want to help my husband. My husband's money has had a big impact on this company.” Amelia began to act as if she was the one being bullied.
