Tonight Anna couldn't sleep well, her mind never left her meeting with Brian a few hours ago.
Since earlier, her eyes have only focused on the figure of Dave who was fast asleep. "I will protect you no matter what happens, honey," Anna muttered as she stroked her son's hair.
"I'm sorry, maybe sometime in the future I only have less time for you, dear," she added again with a rough sigh.
Glanced back at the clock hanging on the wall, it was already two in the morning, it felt like time was running very slowly.
The blistered skin of her thigh still felt a little sore, as well as the wound on her lips. Her head didn't hurt anymore, even so, her vision still occasionally blurred.
She had already taken the medicine that Devan had given her, at first she just wanted to ignore it, but after seeing the recipe and the efficacy of each type of medicine, it was all according to how she felt.
She didn't know, she was surprised and wondered, is Devan sick? Or did the man give her the drug?
Instantly Anna hit her head while shaking her head, "What was I thinking?"
"That man already has another woman, stop overthinking things," her monologue tried to dispel the thoughts she thought were very stupid.
"Okay, sleep, sleeping now, Anna, you're back at work tomorrow," she mumbled again starting to close her eyes, trying to sleep.

While on the other hand, Byanca who had just closed her eyes for a few minutes suddenly woke up. The doorbell rang again, her smile breaking.
"You can't leave me here alone, Devan," she muttered as soon as she got out of bed, grabbed her bag, and took the perfume out of it, spraying her whole body until the whole room was full of her scent.
The dress she wore a moment ago, now changed to Devan's clothes. A slightly oversized white shirt with a length only up to the thighs, and it managed to show off her very smooth white skin.
Down the stairs quickly, and immediately opened the door.
"E-Edward?" Byanca stuttered when she saw the figure standing in front of her at this time.
The man did not respond and immediately rushed into the house and closed the door tightly.
"What are you doing here?" Byanca held the man behind the door.
"Of course to see you, honey. What else?"
"Are you crazy? This is Devan's house..."
"I know, I know. No need to tell me."
"Then why are you here? What if Devan finds out?" asked Byanca massaging her forehead.
"Instead of thinking about the guy, what if I told you that I wanted you? The last time we did was two months ago on a visit to Australia. Do you forgot it?"
"No, no. You'd better go home now. This is at home..."
"Yes, yes, I know, honey. This is at your future husband's house, but the man isn't here and won't be back until tomorrow," Edward replied, starting to stroke Byanca's thigh.
"Ahh..sshh, h-how do you know?"
"Trust me, honey," Edward replied, starting to run his hands wildly across Byanca's lower body.
"No, Edward. I'm scared," Byanca said holding the man's hand which was already under her pussy.
"You'd better go home now. Tomorrow I'll visit your apartment and do it until you're satisfied," she added.
"But I want you now, honey."
"After all, why did you visit Indonesia but didn't see me right away. This is your punishment."
"I'm with Mrs. Seira, there's no way I'll see you, Edward. That woman will suspect me."
"Understand my position," Byanca added again.
"You've changed Byanca," Edward immediately released his hand from the woman's grip.
"You've never rejected me like this, have you started to fall in love with that guy?"
"No, no, that's not what I meant, honey," Byanca replied and closed the distance between them, landing her lips briefly on Edward's to persuade him.
"I'd give it right now if I wasn't in this house. What if Devan suddenly came? Think about it carefully."
"Really? You're just afraid if Devan comes?"
Byanca nodded then hugged the man, "Trust me, from the past until now I have never had any feelings for Devan, honey. My love is only for you."
Edward smiled lopsidedly, "Okay, if you are still in doubt, how about you call the man now, ask where he is," he asked then let go of Byanca's arms.
"B-but I doubt he'll answer my calls," Byanca replied.
"Just try it. Or contact Leo, he must know where Devan is, considering the two of them are very close," said Edward.
"Okay, then you sit down first. I'll get my cell phone in the room."
"Erm, hurry up."
Byanca immediately obeyed the man's words, while Edward chose to sit on the sofa in the living room.
Byanca and Edward have been in a relationship for a very long time even when the woman already knew of her match with Devan, Edward also didn't mind it, as long as he could have Byanca's body then that was enough for him.
While on the other hand, Devan doesn't know that Byanca is playing with another man behind him. Yes, before they were seen by Devan at the hotel on Grandma's birthday night.
Since then, Devan is no longer in touch with Byanca, his extended family also does not know the estrangement of their relationship.
It's not that Devan doesn't want to cancel the relationship, it's just that he doesn't have the power to do it because Atmadja's family is indebted to the Byanca family.
Several years ago, before Devan took over D.A Group, or rather when the man was in his twenties, the company had been hit by problems and suffered huge losses to the point of nearing bankruptcy.
And the only ones who helped at that time were Byanca's family. From there, the closeness of the family began and even matched their children to each other to maintain brotherhood.
And Devan knows all that. Canceling his arranged marriage with Byanca would be tantamount to destroying the relationship that his parents had built over the years.
While saying Byanca's behavior to her family is also very impossible, it might be possible but Devan already knew in advance how his parents would react, especially his mother, they trusted Byanca more than himself as the only son.
So, he prefers to give in and obey his family's wishes. However, that doesn't mean he has feelings for her anymore.
Yes, Devan loved that woman before, but not now, just seeing it made Devan feel sick, especially if he gave treatment like when he didn't know that Byanca had betrayed him.
Byanca who had arrived at the room immediately looked for her cellphone, then went back downstairs where Edward was.
Down the stairs while looking for Devan's contact on his cellphone screen.
After that, she contacted the man although she was a little hesitant as she approached Edward who had been staring at her since earlier.
Waited for a few seconds, as expected. Devan didn't answer her call.
Byanca tried again, but still the same.
"No answer," Byanca said, turning to Edward.
"Try again, if there's still no answer, try asking Leo."
Byanca nodded and tried to contact Devan one more time.
"Hello…"
