This morning, the Wandjoyo mansion was filled with unusual activity. Servants bustled about preparing various necessities, while William sat in his study with a pile of documents.Marlin came down from her room wearing a professional navy blue blazer. Her hair was neatly tied back, her face polished with elegant, natural makeup. She looked like a young executive ready to conquer the business world."Are you ready?" William asked when he saw his daughter."Yes, Father." Marlin picked up the proposal folder that had been prepared on the table. "The project tender from the Celcius Group, right?"William nodded seriously. "This is a big opportunity, Marlin. The Celcius Group is a giant company from the city of Celcius. Their mega infrastructure project is worth trillions of rupiah. If we can get even a part of it...""I know, Dad." Marlin checked her proposal once more. "But I'm not too sure. Many large companies are also eyeing this project.""Do your best." William patted his daughter o

The roadside coffee shop was simple. Just a few wooden tables with plastic chairs, walls yellowed with age, and the aroma of coffee wafting from the small kitchen in the back.Kevin sat alone in the corner, enjoying a cup of black coffee while staring at the quiet street. His thoughts drifted to various things. Marlin, who still hated him. Vivian, who begged him. The Wandjoyo family, whom he had to protect.The sound of heavy footsteps broke the silence.Kevin didn't need to look up to know someone was approaching. Five people. One was overweight, the other four were bodyguards.The overweight man sat down on the chair in front of Kevin without permission. His large body made the plastic chair creak in protest. A broad smile spread across his oily face."Kevin Tanjaya." He chuckled. "Do you still recognise me?"Kevin looked up and stared at the face.Five years hadn't changed much. This man was still just as stout. Just as cunning. Just as cruel.Tan Hock. The head servant of the Wija

On the back porch, Marlin and Alfred also heard the commotion. They ran to the front and saw a horrific scene.Dozens of people dressed in black had entered the mansion grounds. In their midst stood a man in his fifties with a sturdy build and cruel eyes.It was Kalvino himself."William Wandjoyo!" Kalvino shouted in a booming voice. "Come out and face me!"William stepped out bravely, even though his hands were shaking. Marlin followed behind him, her face pale but her eyes full of determination."Kalvino," William said, trying to keep his voice steady. "What do you want?""What do I want?" Kalvino laughed. "I hear the Wandjoyo family just got a big project from the Celcius Group. A very lucrative project."His eyes flashed with greed."Hand over all those projects to me. Hand over all the Wandjoyo family's assets too. If not..." He snapped his fingers.His men immediately took threatening positions, weapons drawn."I won't hand anything over to you!" William snapped. "You killed my

Hartono covered his mouth, unhappy but not daring to argue.Wilona approached Kevin with a small smile. "Forgive their behaviour. Please come in, Kevin."Kevin nodded and followed Wilona into the room. They stopped in front of a large screen displaying the Wandjoyo Group's stock chart.The chart was falling sharply. Very sharply."The situation is bad," Wilona explained seriously. "Kalvino is coordinating an attack by dozens of businessmen in his city. They are attacking Wandjoyo Group's shares en masse, causing the price to fall.""What is needed to stop this?"Wilona looked at him in surprise. "Kevin wants to help?""I'm asking what is needed."Wilona paused for a moment, studying her brother-in-law's face. There was something different about Kevin. Something that made her feel that this man was not what people said he was."We need support from large companies," Wilona finally replied. "If large investors start buying our shares, it will stop the panic and reverse the trend.""How

At eight o'clock in the morning, the sound of a car could be heard in the yard.The front door opened and Marlin entered with a slightly unsteady gait. Her hair was dishevelled, her makeup was smudged, and there was something different about the way she walked.Kevin stared at her with eyes that saw more than met the eye.The aura of green light that once enveloped Marlin had changed. The purity that once radiated from her body... was gone.Kevin closed his eyes for a moment. 'So, Alfred wasn't lying.'"MARLIN!" William shouted angrily and rose from his chair. "WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN ALL NIGHT?!"Marlin looked at her father with an unflinching gaze. "That's none of your business.""None of my business—" William almost choked with anger. "You have a husband! You didn't come home all night! And you say it's none of my business?!""Husband?" Marlin laughed mockingly, her eyes glancing at Kevin. "He's not my husband. He's only my husband on paper. It doesn't apply to me."Margareth covered h
