“What did you say, Dominic? Do you like Naneth?”
“Yes Robin, I’ve wanted her for a long time, but I let her go because she prefers you to marry her because she has already promised you will get married. You know my heart was very broken when Naneth told me that face to face, but I put up with it because I love her and I respect her decision and now you are just hurting her. You got the animal girl you are. Bogss!” Dominic was so angry that he punched Robin again.
Gio immediately stopped them both. Gio also couldn’t believe what he heard Dominic’s confession to Robin.
“Heck, that’s enough. Getaway first, Robin. And you’re also Dominic. If you’re mad at Robin when you talk, no one was drunk.” Annoyed Gio.
“Don’t interfere Gio, we’re fighting this cousin. That animal is a man. You know the woman we visit the province. He is the father of Lira’s pregnancy.”
Gio couldn’t believe what he heard about Dominic. He felt sad for Naneth and angry for Robin.
“What do you mean? So you know Robin and Naneth will get married. When else? Has it been a long time?” Gio asked.
Dominic couldn’t answer right away because he had kept it a secret from Gio since then. Robin heard that, so he answered.
“Yes, he has known for a long time. You are the only one who doesn’t know. You still considered him a friend, but he also cheated on you. Because he has a look at Naneth, so he would rather hide it than let you know.” Robin replied.
“Is Robin right, Dominic?”
Dominic also confessed to Gio. When Gio found out about what Dominic was hiding, their friendship was already broken. Gio felt frustrated that he considered his friend to have also betrayed him. There were many times when Dominic could tell Gio about Naneth’s status, but he preferred to remain silent.
The next day…
The other staff wondered what Dominic and Gio were doing. Gio avoids Dominic, every time Dominic is there, Gio walks away.
Many noticed them, as well as Kyla. She talks to Bea.
“Bea, do you notice anything about our employers? They seem to have a war. They don’t talk. When there are papers that sir Dominic signs to sir Gio, he just orders his secretary. Didn’t he go to Sir Gio’s office before?”
“Yeah Kyla, I noticed that too.”
“Hey! You are human CCTV. What is your latest gossip there?” Sofia said.
“Don’t you notice our employers as if there is something wrong with them?” Said Bea.
“Ah! Yes, I noticed that. Why, what happened to them?” Sofia replied.
“That’s what we don’t know. Are you in a hurry? You can ask them.”
“Gaga, you are Kyla. You want me to be fired!” Sofia replied.
“Haha! It’s not like we want to know something. You are the only one who dares to ask the three of us.” Said Bea.
“It’s up to you. Roy is calling me.”
Naneth still couldn’t get in because she was still healing. The staff did not know that the CEO had visited them. They couldn’t prepare everything. It entered Gio’s office.
“Son, how are you?”
“I’m fine, dad. You? Why did you get a visit here?”
“I just don’t have Gio. I’m bored at home. How is Naneth? Did she come in?” his father asked.
“No dad, he’s still recovering.”
“Dominic, where is he? Send him here.”
“All right, dad, I’ll call him to my secretary.”
A few minutes later Dominic entered, the two of them just silent. Mr. Roel noticed that.
“What made you two quiet?”
“Nothing, dad, just stresses at work,” Gio replied.
“Really! I know you, Gio, you’re lying. What’s the matter with you two?
“It’s not uncle, it’s just the two of us and Gio.”
“Oh! So! There is. Don’t you have a plan to share what is in your heart with me?”
Gio and Dominic didn’t answer again. Roel didn’t insist anymore. He just left so they could play golf with Louie.
In the hospital…
Natasha also did not wake up for several days. Abigail is on guard because Louie is not there. All Abigail knows is that he is at work, but he is at the golf club with Roel.
She felt her mother’s finger move.
“Mom, you are awake. Wait, I will call the doctor.” Abigail called the doctor. The doctor immediately observed Natasha’s condition.
“Doc, how was my mom?”
“So far, she has recovered. She can go home the day after.”
“Okay doc, so what results from the tests?
“She was suffering from severe amnesia for a long time. And expect that this time her memory will gradually return. But I advise don’t surprise her if you ever have a question for her.” Said the doctor.
“Thank you, doc.”
Abigail looks at Natasha. She wondered who Natasha was and why she came into her dad’s life. She was curious about what was happening and what the doctor had said. She doesn’t talk to Natasha first. It just stared at the ceiling, as if deep in thought.
“Mom, are you alright?” Natasha didn’t answer. Abigail didn’t even bother to ask her again.

Kyla was on her way home when Dominic greeted her. He asked how Naneth was, and he went with Kyla to visit her at their apartment.
Naneth was sitting on the sofa watching a TV show. The doorbell rang, she opened it. She sees Dominic with Kyla.
Naneth and Dominic talked while Kyla prepared for the dinner. Kyla looked around at their terrace, where Dominic and Naneth were talking. She felt jealous. Kyla had been looking at Dominic for a long time but not only did she show it, but Naneth also didn’t know that either. She just sighed.
“What?! Robin already knows you like me? Because you were so angry with what you found out about his secret that you punched him?
“Yes Naneth, I’m sorry because I only found out last night. His woman called. You remember we went to the province in the hospital, pregnant woman. He is the father of the child the girl is carrying.”
Naneth was speechless. She had known that for a long time. But Dominic was affected by what happened. I can’t blame him because they are cousins. Maybe Dominic was just ashamed of her because of his cousin’s nonsense.
“Are you okay, Naneth? I’m sorry if I told you this. I am ashamed of my cousin. He doesn’t even care about you. The bullshit he did to you is terrible.”
“I understand how you feel, Dominic. You are not at fault. I know everything.” Naneth said admittedly.
“What? But how?” Dominic asked in shock.
“I was still in the province. I saw Robin in the hospital with a visiting babe. I saw it with my own two eyes.” Naneth’s story.
“What are you doing? Did you slap him?”
“No, I just left. I don’t want to mess with Robin anymore. The only thing I want now is for us to be annulled as soon as possible.” Naneth’s sad answer.
“Why are you so? Why would you rather remain silent than fight for your rights as a legal wife?”
“I have a reason Dominic, and whatever that reason is, I hope it’s up to me and you respect whatever decision I make.”
“Okay, I understand you. I hope your situation has not affected you today. It is very difficult as a wife to accept that your husband will have a child with another woman.” Dominic replied.
“I know, but it’s necessary! It’s not love that mediates between us why we got married.”
“What do you mean?”
“I married Dominic because of an agreement. Robin wanted to get the inheritance from his parents on the condition that he would get married and have a child. Because he already knew me because I worked with them for a few years, he talked me into marrying him, but we had an agreement.” Naneth’s story.
“Ha! I don’t know that. Why did you agree if you don’t love him?”
Naneth couldn’t tell Dominic everything because Kyla had already called them for dinner. Dominic had dinner there as well. Dominic and Naneth had a serious conversation. Dominic is more curious about Naneth’s personality. He feels there is a deep reason for it.

When Kyla’s mother was released from the hospital, her mother was living with her grandmother with her other brother, Karl. She visited there because she was a day off. She brought food, and she talked to her mother.
“Mom, how are you?”
“I’m okay now Kyla, how’s your work?”
“It’s okay. It’s a little tiring sometimes.”
“Daughter, I haven’t seen Kiana for a few days. Where is she?
“Mom, don’t be surprised by what I say.”
“What’s that Kyla?”
“Mom, I’m sorry if I didn’t tell you right away. Kiana is no more. She died in the accident and the doctors could not save her.” Kyla said sadly.
Her mother was speechless, but she noticed her mother’s tears dripping. She knew it hurt what she found out. She worried why her mother was silent. It didn’t even scream and cry out loud.
“Mom, are you okay?” It was there that her mother cried so hard that maybe it was a shock at what she heard. “Mom, that’s enough. Let’s just accept that Kiana is gone. I know that where she is now, she is happy.” Kyla said as she stroked her mother’s back.
She still wanted to confront her mother, but she felt sorry for her, so she just let the day go by and then she asked her mother about what her father said.
~~~~~
“Bro, how is Natasha? I heard what happened to her. I hope she’s okay?
“Ah! Yes, she is okay. Abigail is watching over him.”
“Why didn’t you take care of your wife?” Roel asked.
Louie couldn’t answer. He meant he didn’t want to talk to or see Natasha because he felt that Natasha’s memory had returned.
“Ah! Because Abigail volunteered to be the first to take care of me, I’ll just call her later if there’s any news from her mother.”
“Oh! Okay, ah! By the way, my birthday is on Saturday. Please tell Abigail and Natasha to attend. I mean, take them. It’s just a family and friends gathering, it’s not too big a party. And I didn’t even see your wife, I want to know her.” Said Roel.
“Oh! I’ll take them. You’re getting older ah! Don’t you have any plans to get married again? ”
“Haha! I don’t think the couple, I’m just focusing on Gio and the company.”
“Oh! You’re so kind. I believe in you. I hope all men like you are loyal to their wives even when they are dead haha!” Smiling Louie said.
Roel said nothing because he was a little offended by what Louie said, but he just let it go.

Neva looked around. When her phone suddenly rang. That number is unknown. Who could have called her? She answered that because she was curious about who was on the other line.
“Hello! May I know who’s this is, please?
The person who called on the other line did not answer. She felt like she was just listening to it.
“What, who are you? Will you answer or will you just listen there? If you’re just a cheater, don’t be me. You are disturbing what I am doing.” Annoyed, Neva said below that she would have called when she heard a man’s voice speak.
“How are you Neva, do you still remember who I am?
She was surprised to hear a voice from the other line. The voice is familiar to her. He was a man? Who is that? What does he want from me? She asked herself.
She wondered who that person could be. She doesn’t remember anyone wanting to cheat on her.
Who was that man who called Neva?
