"Who is it?" asked a pale-faced woman who had a mole under her eye while throwing Olivia a disapproving look.
"Is this Erfan's apartment?" Olivia asked with a friendly smile.
"Who, Mel?" someone asked in a baritone voice from inside.
Suddenly Erfan appeared and stopped behind this woman named Melisa. This suddenly made Olivia's heart shake, plus Erfan was wearing a white kimono towel with an open chest. Makes his mind travel everywhere.
Erfan himself panicked seeing Olivia's presence in his apartment, his heart almost fell out of its socket. However, he tried to hide his panic in front of Melisa.
"Who is Erfan?" Melissa asked curiously.
"You go in first Melisa, I'll explain later," Erfan said as he tried to push Melisa in, then closed the door tightly.
Erfan led Olivia and her suitcase a little away from her apartment door.
"Who was that woman, Erfan? Why are you dressed like that? What are you doing with her?" Olivia asked with a demanding look.
"What are you looking for me for?" Erfan asked back with a little whisper while looking here and there warily. He looked very frightened and uneasy.
"Of course I want to see you. You've been missing for a year without news. Have you forgotten our engagement? This year you promised to marry me, right?! My mother's illness is getting worse, she told me to get married to you immediately," said Olivia with an air of excitement. heart that begins to deteriorate. He drifted away in sadness remembering his mother who was lying stiff in the hospital.
"Forget about the engagement, you should go back to the village right now. Don't get me in trouble," Erfan said unkindly, as if to forcefully evict him.
Olivia's heart throbbed in pain when she heard it, she stared in disbelief at what her lover said.
"What trouble will I cause? I came all the way here because I was worried about you. Why even say something that makes me sad? Haven't you missed me all this time?" he asked with teary eyes.
"Olivia, I've forgotten our engagement. Since last year I intended to break off the engagement with you, but I always didn't get to meet your family. Listen, that woman is Melisa. I love her, I intend to marry her next month. You suddenly came, I was worried you will cause trouble. I beg you, you go now and explain everything to your parents. Don't ruin my happiness," Erfan coaxed while holding Olivia's hands with pleading eyes.
Without an order, Olivia's tears fell uncontrollably. His eyes twitched red hot. Erfan's words had pierced his heart so deeply and crushed him to pieces. What hurts even more is Erfan begging to be happy with another woman.
'Don't ruin my happiness.'
The words buzzed in his ears. Olivia with a blank stare and a helpless heart pushed Erfan's hand away and left with a myriad of wounds. There is no cure for his heartache. Erfan just decided and didn't even know himself saying he wanted to marry another woman.
Unaware that all their conversations were heard by Petra because they were talking right in front of the entrance to her apartment. Petra's apartment is next to Erfan's apartment. Petra didn't want to eavesdrop on purpose, at first Petra wanted to go outside to take out the trash, but there were two people chatting at the door. Unknowingly he was immersed in Olivia's conversation with Erfan.
After Petra took out the trash, she took a glass of red wine and pondered by the large window while sipping it. From the top floor, he saw Olivia sitting on the sidewalk holding her suitcase and large bag.
Petra kept staring at him until he didn't realize he was standing on the balcony with the night wind blowing against his skin.
He looked at the branded watch wrapped around his wrist. It was eleven o'clock at night.
"Pathetic," he mumbled as he took another sip of his red wine calmly.
Just as Petra turned and was about to go inside, her footsteps suddenly stopped, her eyes wide. He heard a sigh of pleasure coming from the apartment next door that sent chills down his spine.
As soon as he turned to the source of the sound, he unexpectedly saw an exciting show between Erfan and Melisa who were having sex on the balcony chair. Erfan pressed so hard that it made Melisa scream in pain, the balcony chairs even hit the floor so hard they played.
Petra's face suddenly turned red like boiling hot water. He immediately turned his face away and went inside.
At the same time his cellphone rang, there was an incoming call from Lucas-his biological brother. The second Young Master of the Rhanandra family who is no less handsome than his brother. They are only two years apart in age. However, Lucas has a friendly and cheerful personality, unlike Petra.
"Yes, Lucas?" Petra said as she put the glass on the table.
"Where's Big Brother? Have you forgotten tonight's event? Sis William, Sis Noah and the other young masters have been waiting for a long time. If you don't come, they will be very disappointed. Even the convoy event will not run smoothly," Lucas said with the thumping of disco music in the background.
Petra stretched her body muscles while taking a deep breath. "I'll come. Let them wait a little longer."
Phone calls are turned off. Petra immediately got ready and went in a black sports car.
The car sped past the sidewalk where Olivia was still sitting there with her carry-on while taking a call, I don't know who it was.
Petra watched silently from the rearview mirror, the woman with long wavy hair dragged her suitcase into a taxi and left.
No matter what the woman did, Petra drove her car towards a bar where the Young Lords of City A had gathered in sports cars that were lined up neatly in the parking area. The Young Masters each had a position and advantage in the family business and had strong ties to each other.
Petra Rhanandra is the first Young Lord of City A, her appearance and power are superior to others, but no one knows that she has two dual personalities. Below him is his younger brother, Lucas Rhanandra, who always wants to compete with Petra.
Then came the third Young Master William Milner, many would say he was a bit like Petra, cold and spoke only as needed, but he was a doctor who was said to be very patient-friendly. I don't know which one is right.
The fourth Young Master is Noah Johnson, known as a playboy for frequently changing partners. His life motto is woman, woman and woman. Not infrequently he is often in the news for his scandals with actresses, models and other public figures.
And there are still several other Young Masters who are not named. They're all going to have some fun tonight, then have a sports car convoy together.
...
At a nightclub, Olivia approached Jerry, Erfan's friends after contacting him. He intended to share his sadness with Jerry.
Olivia thought Jerry was at home, not knowing he was in an entertainment venue with lots of sexy women at night.
"Livia, here!" shouted Jerry-a man with long hair with an earring in his left ear waving. Jerry was used to calling her Livia.
Olivia walked over to him dragging a suitcase, then sat looking around. There were several bottles of drinks on the table and snacks strewn everywhere. The lighting around was dim, making Olivia's eyes slightly dizzy.
"What's wrong with you? Why did you come here with a suitcase? Haven't met Erfan yet?" he asked as he hid Olivia's suitcase so it wouldn't get in the way.
Olivia took a deep breath. "Can't you see how puffy my eyes are?" He pointed to his eyes which were red swollen from being too absorbed in grief.
"Oh my gosh, did something happen?" asked Jerry with a surprised expression.
