“So that guy you started liking?”
Elle jumped with that sentence that sounded suddenly, he immediately turned on the lights in the studio apartment. No surprise if he finds Brian sitting on his living room couch. The man had a lot of advantages to casually enter this small apartment, and Elle couldn't do much. Brian has all the power to govern and also control Elle, Elle's life depends on this man.
“Didn't you also approach the man for all your plans? You also deliberately arranged a meeting the other day to find out the man?” asked Elle coldly.
Sometimes, Elle always had the courage in her to reply to Brian's words, sometimes there was a time when he could not dwell in front of the man. For two years he lived, he was like a robot.
Wherever he goes, there will always be a shadow of Brian in all corners of the house he lives in. This man is not an ordinary man, he made sure of all that.
“Yes, that's also part of my plan. It seems he also does not mind at all, he also does not know who you are, I think he is a very stupid man.”
Elle hush. He didn't want to tell me Enzo knew what he shouldn't have. Whether who's stupid here, or pretending to be stupid, there's nothing Elle can trust either. How do you explain Enzo? At first their relationship was only secretary and boss in general, then after the secret was open, their relationship was like this. Elle doesn't want to guess Enzo likes her, just because of everything that's been going on lately.
She is not a sentimental woman for something like this, which is only because small things have started to guess a lot of things. If there is such a woman, then be sure if she is very stupid. Do not hurt yourself with all the allegations, there will be no guarantee that everything will be okay, so, be kind to yourself.
“Do not involve me in all your plans,” said Elle.
Brian was suddenly already beside her, he brought his body closer to Elle. There is one positive thing in Brian, only one thing that the man has. Brian never touched her carelessly or sexually harassed, maybe if verbal abuse, Elle has very often get.
“I was just trying to test you and maybe play a little with the guy, but I pulled out all the decisions after seeing his eyes staring at you,” whispered Brian in Elle's ear.
Elle held her breath, not because of her heart pounding so hard. This was a form of anticipation from him when Brian was within this close range. He is afraid of the existence of this man, but he must still look tough so that Brian is not more arbitrary to him.
“Very obvious in his eyes if he likes you so much, are you aware of that? Or will you pretend not to know it, and then you will unite like what happened in the telenovela or the romantic novel you read?” ask Brian.
If that's true, then Elle will
denied it. If it was wrong, then Elle would be very grateful. He doesn't want another guy to like him, he's not in a state to like each other with anyone. There was no hope in life for him, no future he could see or feel, it was all an illusion for him. The whole life he lived right now belonged to that man who had always been so willing. No, Elle didn't love or even put her heart on this man, all because of the threats and the debts.
In the end, Elle could not escape this man at all. There was an invisible rope that restrained his body to do many things, his life was watched silently. Brian could also freely enter his apartment like this, what could Elle expect for his future? The man who's gonna save her from Brian's entrapment?
Dream if so.
Elle will feel guilty if any other man is hurt by Brian for approaching her, including Enzo. Brian must have known that last week he and Enzo had left together at Enzo's insistence on suddenly appearing in front of his apartment.
“You agree with my opinion, right? I know, you know the man's feelings, I just have to wait until he expresses his feelings for you,” Brian said. He sat back on the sofa.
“Do not hurt Enzo!” scream Elle.
Brian gave a suspicious grin on his face. “You're afraid if I hurt her?”
“She has absolutely nothing to do with our affairs, so, never involve her.”
“So? Sooner or later he will also know everything.” Brian shrugged both of his shoulders indifferently. It feels great to have someone else bow to all his commands, making Brian proud of everything he has done so far.
“Then you must do all the things I have prepared for you. Make sure you make it, then I'll set you free,” Brian said. He immediately left the small room.
Elle was still silent in place, trying to digest what was going on this time. He propped up his body which suddenly suffocated on the nearby wall. What else is the man planning?

“Crazy, huh? I wait for you up to an hour more just to meet you, like I've started to love very much with you,” Liliana's nagging.
Lunch time this time forced Liliana to relax for him to spend with his best friend, and they were almost two hours late because Liliana had to wait for Nabila to finish her task.
“You know for yourself how dense my work, Li. What cruelty are you that hid your pregnancy from me?” balas Nabila's.
Liliana exhaled excessively. Whether when he can win a debate with Nabila, his best friend is very tough in terms of debating others. Especially if the person he was arguing with had flaws and left the empty gap unknown, then Nabila will take the empty gap for him to fill with any argument he has. It's been like that since they went to college.
“You should have entered law school know, no, anyway? So the editor is not enough for you, you are better suited to be a lawyer or judge, or maybe a prosecutor.”
A small laugh escaped from Nabila's lips. Luckily Liliana always had time for him, just talking about unimportant things like this was able to make it back to how it was. Lately it's been very hard on him, right? Aidan is sick, then accidentally meets Reni.
If in retrospect, Nabila's life is perfect inside out. No cracks mean, nothing at all, he just runs everything well. Until this divorce happened, that was the turning point at this time.
“I think you should treat me to a good meal today, you made me laugh today. I also salute you who can survive with Dimitri after a long time in pain, so you can refer to kayak gini,” said Nabila.
Liliana stopped her mouth from hearing Nabila's words. If only Liliana could also thank him because he had also contributed to the decision Liliana made. Nabila also saved him first and persevered with everything, helping him from a great distance. Nabila saved her life first too.
“That's our goal to be friends, right? You forgot that you also saved me first?”
Nabila laughed a little. At least the friendship he made with Liliana had an excellent bond. When all the problems are seen approaching her, she still has Liliana who will always support her.
“I met Reni yesterday,” said Nabila.
“Reni who became Reno's affair? Why did you meet?”
“More precisely, we accidentally met, and he wants to talk to me.” Nabila shrugged both of his shoulders.
“I'm sure I'll say nothing to you. You know, girls like that mostly don't know themselves. You want the same Evelyn who used to deketin Dimitri, right? If I take him, his luggage wants me to claw his face,” Liliana's scolding.
“I should have brought you yesterday, huh? Very nice for nakutin him,” reply Nabila with a laugh on his lips.
“I think I'm ready, deh, if you want to make sure I meet him. He pantes make dapetin as little as one or two lessons, or even three lessons.”
Back laughter escaped from Nabila's lips. “Is this due to your pregnancy factor? I never knew you could be like gini.”
“You know? I actually feel sorry for Dimitri lately, he has always been the victim of all my weirdness and all my pregnancy hormones this time,” Liliana said sadly.
“I can really understand how depressed Dimitri is at this time.”
The two laughed again with their chat that afternoon, then they continued their chat with a random topic they managed to find. Always like that long ago, they will start with any topic that comes to their mind and make it an interesting chat. Once twice they also managed to gossip their college friends who they accidentally met, things like that have made them happy.

After being discharged from the hospital, Reni has nothing else to do. He is actually not someone who has no connection or anything else with a company. Reni's parents are one of the richest people in Jakarta and also one of the successful entrepreneurs, without him working also his life is very fulfilled well. The term he works only to fill free time.
One of the many things in his life that he regretted being born into this family actually. Both of his parents never cared about him in the past, they only cared about the family's good name and would strongly condemn others who managed to defame them.
Sometimes, not infrequently Reni always makes trouble at school just to make his parents pay attention to him. It doesn't matter how much pocket money he receives, but about how much affection he is able to receive from his father and mother. But it still didn't work. Reni, to them was simply a property they could use in the future.
“Papi heard you were fired from the hospital, what problem did you make this time?” ask the father.
Reni might be very relieved if what her father did was yell at her or scold her, but it never happened, which should make Reni back disappointed. He wants to be like other children who are always cared for and given the affection they should get.
“Reni sleeps with husband who is also a doctor there.”
Replace the mother who is now breathing tiredly. This was why he wanted a boy so badly as a girl, there was nothing he could expect from a girl who could not even continue their company. Girls are also very happy to make problems, how many problems Reni has caused since then until now.
“You should start thinking about the future, until when do you want it like this?” ask Reni's mother.
“What kind of future should Reni think about, Mi?”
“But don't want this news to reach the ears of journalists, you don't know how much they want to drop our family.”
See, right? They only care about the image of this family, never once did they care about Reni's own feelings. Or actually they also do not like the presence of Reni herself here. Not wrong, right, if he wants the affection he can get from other places and also others? She is just a woman who lacks the affection of her father and mother.
“Papi will match you up with Papi's co-worker's child, and you can't refuse all of this.”
How could Reni refuse? Does he have any other choice but to accept? His parents always knew how to get his daughter cornered and had no other choice, it was like a pent-up talent they were so proud of. Not only their daughter who is not struggling, but also their business opponents who can do nothing more than to accept whatever it is that their parents offer.
Reni nodded her two heads. If he had a choice, he would be very happy if he had to marry Reno. After all, the man is divorced and Reni is entitled to the man. Foolish with Reno's ex-wife who is also their friend, he does become the one who damages their household, but if only because of this problem they get divorced, they get divorced, that means their love isn't that strong, is it?
Nabila should take good care of her husband so that no other woman can approach the husband. Which man will just reject her, Reni knows how depraved a man is, he can be a witness to all that. Reno was unlucky at the time.
Reno is not a married man who is close to Reni in fact, he has also been in contact with such men in his past, and they are not caught. At least the man was lucky enough, and Reni had also never interfered with the man's married life, perhaps once or twice the man had contacted him first. No one can resist Reni and her charm.
