Chapter: Hallucinations"Felix?" Clarita couldn't believe her eyes.The person she had always longed for, who she hadn't seen in a long time, was now standing in front of her eyes. This was like a dream. Or... was she hallucinating from stress?Her work here was indeed experiencing complicated problems. She also had problems with her friends and her girlfriend. Everything was cluttering up her mind.Clarita closed her eyes and shook her head slowly. Yes. This must be her hallucination.She shouldn't be wandering around in a time of great stress like this."What are you doing?" Felix reprimanded, causing Clarita to stare and slowly open her eyes."Did you really not miss me? Ah, it was a waste of my trip here," Felix said with a disappointed sigh."I don't think I should have come here. Then I'll just go. Take care of yourself," he continued and started to take a step.However, since the elevator was located behind Clarita, he had to pass by his sister.As the distance grew thinner, Clarita opened her voice.

Chapter: Going Somewhere"You don't look well. What's wrong with you? Are you sick? But you're covered in wounds. What happened to you? In your condition, shouldn't you be in the Inpatient Room?" Merrick repeatedly glanced at Felix with a series of questions."Your job is to run this car well. No need to ask questions," Felix said with an arrogant attitude.The authority of a boss clung to him even though he was dressed as a patient and covered in wounds."You answer my question first. I don't want to get into anything complicated. At least tell me that this trip isn't dangerous," said a worried Merrick.Felix gave him a lazy look and replied, "But you're already running this car according to my orders."Merrick stammered but quickly excused himself. "That's because I was surprised. If you hadn't yelled like that, I wouldn't have followed your words. Now it's time for you to tell me. What happened? What's wrong with you? Where are you going?""I'm going somewhere." Felix replied incoherently as he looked out

Chapter: Wait Your Turn"Mr. Ray Pratama, is it really you?" asked Secretary Jorell again.Mr. Ray turned his head with a sharp gaze. "What do you mean?""I just want to make sure. There has been a lot of identity fraud lately. The Pratama family is an influential family that I have a lot of respect for, so I don't want to be mistaken a second time." Although it was said firmly, it still had politeness.It was all out of duty, and no one could blame him."I take offense." But Mr. Ray overreacted.He gave Secretary Jorell a disapproving look and continued, "Your words offended me. If I'm not Ray Pratama, then who am I? You could have confirmed this with the officers, but you still chose to ask me directly. This is clearly offensive to me. You're hurting me on purpose.""I'm sorry, but I didn't mean to," Secretary Jorell said calmly. "I am only ensuring the welfare of the family I honor. This is nothing more than doing my duty.""Welfare? So you think I'm a troublemaker who will advocate for the Pratama family

Chapter: Are You Really Ray Pratama?Just when Mr. Ray thought Felix had lost, the bloodied man unexpectedly regained his strength and turned the situation around.Felix pressed Mr. Ray's body hard and searched sharply. "What is your real goal?"Mr. Ray did not answer. He was busy trying to break free from Felix's grip."I know you don't really want the Pratama family's assets. What is your ultimate goal?" Felix asked again."Answer!" snapped Felix, running out of patience.After years of living comfortably in the Pratama family, Felix was suddenly faced with a long-lost adopted son who demanded the return of the assets in a very cruel way.Besides being shocking, it was also confusing.It was obvious because Felix had never heard of Mr. Ray.Let alone his name, even in the family tree he knew, there was no trace of him.The Pratama family he knew had never heard of adopting a child.However, the system cannot be wrong.Mr. Ray's disappearance and the removal of his name from the Pratama family must have a very strong re

Chapter: Ray's PlanTremont's face was covered with anxiety. He scrambled to his feet, taking cover behind his big boss.However, the middle-aged man looked relaxed. He regained control of his expression and said to Felix. "You have the guts to bring them here.""Of course. I can't possibly let parasites like you roam free. You're too much of a nuisance," Felix retorted, grabbing Mr. Ray by the arm and twisting him around, pushing him towards the police.They immediately arrested him, even putting him in handcuffs.The same thing happened to Tremont and the others who were still unconscious.Secretary Jorell ran over to Felix and took a good look at him. "Sir, are you okay?"Felix nodded slowly.His gaze was still fixed on Mr. Ray, who was still calm.The middle-aged man who claimed to be his uncle was too suspicious, so he had to make sure all this went smoothly. "I'll come with you guys.""But your condition? Are you really okay?" asked one of the policemen, looking at Felix's blood-soaked shirt.He gr

Chapter: Beg MeThe blow struck his head again, making the dizziness overwhelming.He tried to stabilize his suddenly blurry vision while continuing to protect his head so that something bad would not happen."Felix, how is it? Are you still not giving up?" Mr. Ray's voice sounded sly.Despite having to endure pain until the veins in his neck protruded, Felix still said, "Even if I die now, I still won't let a madman like you control the fruits of my family's struggle.""A madman? You're calling me a madman? Do you know what you're talking about?"Anger filled the empty space. His voice sounded resounding, full of evil."Apparently, you really won't give up before you reach the point of desperation.""Tremont, finish him!" he commanded then.Felix's eyes snapped open upon hearing this name.He slowly turned his body around only to see Tremont, a familiar man, preparing to beat him with a jagged iron.The man's expression looked fierce, a far cry from what he had seen before.His cunning and cruelty w

The Substitute Son-in-law's Revenge
Having a mother and brother who were always extorting his money, making him a cash cow, was something no one wanted. However, it was much worse when his wife's wealthy family did not accept him. He was being made the family driver, being insulted with words that should not be received by a son-in-law, seeing firsthand the affair committed by his wife, and being reported to the police for violence just for injuring the man who was his wife's affair. When all that happened, not once did Ethan blame them. He could only curse and fantasize about his fate of not having an influential family. However, who would have thought that when he was at the lowest point in his life, an older man suddenly came and introduced himself as his Grandfather. From then on, he became determined to avenge all the humiliation and pain he had felt on them, one by one. He would not let anyone escape his clutches. The Ethan of today is no longer Ethan, the driver in his wife's family, but Ethan Kinsey Aldebaron, the only grandson of the Kinsey family, the biggest business owner and most feared gangster.

Chapter: This Is Our Time"Yes, sir."Hazel and Elio's awkward exchanges instantly became serious."Mr. Ethan wants to talk," Elio said after connecting with his partner in the back car."We're ready to carry out orders!" They unitedly said firmly."Look behind you! Make sure if that car is following us or not!" Ethan ordered directly.The atmosphere became silent as they looked back. Hazel even narrowed her eyes as she looked at the rearview mirror, trying to focus. But instantly, her eyes widened in surprise."Sir, isn't that Miss Celeste's car?""Connect with the car in front!" Instead of answering, Ethan gave Elio another instruction, which he immediately carried out."Speed up the pace!" he ordered directly.The two people in the front car looked at each other, confused. While doing so, the man next to him checked something on his tablet and then whispered, "Someone is following us behind."Suddenly, the man driving turned his head in surprise for a moment before focusing on driving. "Is it necessary to t

Chapter: Had to persuade him"We can't just sit around waiting for the trial! Father, we must do everything possible to get my husband out! Our family is very powerful and has many great people. There's no way there's no way to turn this case around!" Mrs. Bernita, who was only wearing her nightgown with her hair tousled and her face without make-up, shouted excitedly in front of everyone who was discussing in the living room. "If you can't defend yourself, just say you were framed! Or maybe we'll just find a scapegoat! I believe that my husband couldn't have done that. Even if he did, that bastard Ethan provoked him!"Great Mistress Celeste closed her eyes to hold back her emotions at the sight of her current appearance."Ethan's evidence is so strong that it's hard to deny. Even the lawyer said it might be difficult to reverse the situation," Great Master Celeste said."Then just tell me about the previous matter!" Mrs. Bernita replied quickly. "He beat Lucas and didn't give Ariana a living. He's also planning

Chapter: I think I know it"I don't understand what you're talking about." Ariana turned her face away, reluctant to look at Ethan who looked intimidating."When you treated me badly and made me the family driver, I accepted it without protest. Every time you spoke, you insulted me and cornered me. I kept quiet and always obeyed whatever orders you gave me. No matter how hard it was for me to carry them out."Ethan pulled Ariana's face back to look at him. "I might have been able to ignore all those things, but, after all I did, why did you betray me?"Ariana snorted sarcastically and her gaze was filled with contempt. "You're just a substitute groom and we don't love each other, so why are you acting like you love me so much?""Love and betrayal are two different things. Wouldn't you betray me if I loved you?" Ethan asked back."Don't dream!" snapped Ariana who then chuckled softly. "You don't deserve to be my best man, even if you become the CEO of Zenith Corp. To me, you're still a poor loser!""So, that's w

Chapter: RampageHazel looked at Ethan who was also staring at her expressionlessly. She put her phone away and said, "Miss Celeste would like to see you.""Let it go," Ethan replied briefly.Hazel nodded in understanding and went back to talking on her cell phone. "Mr. Ethan is in his office."After that, the call was unilaterally disconnected by Ariana. Hazel's expression looked annoyed, but a second later it returned to normal.Without changing his reclined seating position, Ethan said firmly. "Postpone all my schedules for the time being and you help me to guard this room. Don't let anyone interrupt, no matter how important the business is!""Yes." With that Hazel stepped out and stood in front of the room.Not long after that Ariana arrived along with Jade. The woman wearing her work clothes seemed to be in such a hurry that she didn't care about Hazel's presence and immediately entered Ethan's room.Jade was about to come in, but Hazel immediately held her back and pulled her away.

Chapter: Don't Want to MeetFacing back-to-back questions with demanding expressions like this clearly terrified Ariana.She had never faced anything like this before, especially when other reporters joined in with more pressing questions."Sorry, I don't understand what you're asking. Please don't discuss things that shouldn't be. I'm here to ask for your support for the slander that attacked my father," said Ariana, trying to calm down.But the people only intensified and were now even standing with their eyes wide with curiosity."Miss Ariana, how can you call it something it's not? This is your problem, and you can't run away from it.""Do you perhaps want to deny it?""Please give an explanation regarding the circulating video. Ms. Ariana, is that true? You had an affair but filed for divorce first?""Miss Ariana, do you really not know anything about Mr. Ethan's identity, who turned out to be the CEO of Zenith Corp? Is that also why you had an affair and divorced him because you thought he was poor?""Now
