Chapter 5: Beginning


    “Uncle? I don’t remember having a niece like you.”


    Christian raised his eyebrows and said so coldly. He didn’t even bother to look at Indri.


    He didn’t care about the woman beside him at all.


    Christian was used to dealing with women like Indri, who tried to throw herself on his bed.


    A woman who wouldn’t even hesitate to take her clothes off when Christian told her to.


    A woman who had no self-respect.


    This kind of woman was the most disgusting type of woman for Christian.


    .....


    Indri looked surprised and very embarrassed, not expecting Christian’s answer to be so cold. When she saw Christian turn and leave her, her hands were clenched into fists from being so angry. She tried to contain her anger, but her face betrayed her.


    Her face looked so ugly...


    Christian’s words hit her hard in the face and tarnished her pride.


    This man was truly mean!


    However, Christian didn’t notice that his gaze continued to fall on E who was moving away from where she was standing. He didn’t know if he was watching her on purpose or because he couldn’t take his eyes off her, as if a ma was trying to attract him.


    That woman was calm, intelligent and brave!


    How could such a woman live in a psychiatric hospital?


    It was hard for Christian to imagine that this extraordinary woman had lived in a mental hospital for the past five years.


    ...


    “What do you want?”


    Meanwhile, on the other side, Haikal led E to a less crowded ce. It was a bit secluded because he didn’t want anyone to see him talking to this crazy woman.


    He looked at E coldly. A look of disgust crossed his face. He looked at E as if E was the dirtiest piece of trash.


    “My child. Did you...” Before she could finish her question, E was already regretting it.


    The face of the man before her had been in her memory since she was a teenager. Ever since she was a child, she had always been with Haikal. All her childhood memories she spent with this man.


    His once gentle face had changed. His cold expression now was nowhere in her memory.


    That look of disgust, anger, disappointment, and shame...


    For the past five years, while E was in a mental hospital, she had constantly hoped that the child she gave birth to was Haikal’s.


    She hoped that it was a form of her love with Haikal, the man she had loved for a long time.


    But why could she still hope after knowing that all her fantasies were just empty hopes.


    Haikalughed loudly. Hisughter sounded so disgusted as if he was fed up with all this. “Hey, Isabe Maheswara. Do you think I actually slept with you that day? You are a cheap woman. Never mind sleeping with you, even touching you makes me feel dirty,” he said harshly.


    He no longer had any decency towards the woman in front of him. He no longer had any respect for the woman in front of him...


    When talking about the baby issue, Haikal’s face immediately turned vicious. His eyes burned with anger. His words sounded sharp and cruel as if he wanted to push E into an endless abyss of hell by using every sentence that came out of his mouth.


    Those words resulted in a hard p thatnded on his cheek, making his cheeks feel hot. E used all her strength to p Haikal.


    “Where is my son?” She yelled.


    Her voice didn’t waver a bit though Haikal had insulted her mercilessly.


    E tried to contain the pain in her eyes. Her voice grew sharper as she questioned the whereabouts of her baby.


    She felt so ridiculous and stupid. After five years had passed, after going through hell and suffering, how could she still have hope?


    Even now, she was still immersed in ridiculous fantasies.


    After the words left Haikal’s lips, E realized that the man in front of her was not the man she used to love all along.


    But she still firmly believed that her son had not died. It was these bad people who had hidden the child from her.


    “Your disgusting son was dead when he was born. Your son is already in hell!” Haikal said it while smiling awkwardly. As he said this, a desire for revenge shed in his eyes. “All of this is the result of your betrayal to me. You pretended to be innocent in front of me, but slept with another man behind my back. Isabe, you really are a slut.”


    Every word that came out of Haikal’s lips was like a sharp knife, a knife that had been sharpened. And he stabbed the knife into E’s heart, twirling it even to add to the suffering in her heart.


    E looked at the man in front of her and then snapped out of her fantasies and hopes.


    How could she still pin her hopes on the man who had betrayed her?


    How could she have forgotten that her life for the past five years in that mental hospital was far more terrifying than death?


    How could she have forgotten that it was the person in front of her who had pushed her into hell?


    “Right... I would sleep with any man but you. I hope your marriagests forever. But don’t forget, I will retaliate ten times more than what I have felt so far. I’ll make them pay ten times for all the suffering my son and I have experienced. Remember. You, Haikal, will always be the man I threw away. All of this is just the beginning!”


    E smiled viciously.


    Even five years of her life in a mental hospital did not erase her grace as an honorable woman. After five years of living in hell, she still had her pride. After five years, E had grown into a very charming woman...


    She looked at Haikal with hatred. Her hand rose to hold Haikal’s neck and her lips touched Haikal’s. She looked at him defiantly, trying to seduce him. In fact, what she wanted to do was strangle this man to death.


    Haikal was so angry with E’s insults, but he couldn’t resist the woman’s temptation. He even felt the longing for those red lips. Feeling the passion from the lips that he missed.


    At first, his hands looked confused about where to anchor. However, he found a ce, exactly on E’s waist, to pull her body closer.


    “E, what are you doing?!”


    At that moment, Indri suddenly appeared, yelling with anger.


    Behind her were her father and mother, their parents, Budi Maheswara and Merry Purnama.
