Stealing The Wife's First Kiss Chapter 34
Advertisement
Beside Danu Umar's two junior specifications, this hijab girl also told Aruna about Damar's hope that he wanted to meet her directly, but unfortunately, the girl was sick.
'This man really won't bother me, but... isn't the way too excessive?' Aruna thought.
***
Most of those who attended the party were having fun with their respective goals.
Some danced at the karaoke space, some enjoyed the DJ, and some others seriously talked more about each other's strengths in the businessman room on the inside.
Somehow, Hendra ended up in a corner where most of the male and female socialites exchanged greetings. He sat lined up with waiters passing by, busy bombarded with orders.
Yes, he was right in front of the room where the businessmen were boasting.
The man glared at the blue drink in front of him. He occasionally played his phone, sitting lazily as if in his own world without realizing that several pairs of eyes were staring at him.
"Anyone who can approach him tonight will get half of my arisan money. How? Agree?"
(Arisan: a regular social gathering for purposes of conducting a lottery.)
A group of girls in a squad were planning their madness.
Actually, the Beauty squad consists of 15 female socialites from celebrities, doctors, conglomerate wives and even chefs, boutique owners, and beauty clinics. They were also active in social media, including television shows.
Tania was included in it. She was currently in a different place, along with some of the other Beauty squad members.
"Are you sure you won't regret it?" Said the other with a grin.
"Which one… Which one... I wanna see him." The woman in gold was no less curious.
"Look over there, he's sitting alone with his eyes and drink are in blue." The redshirt pointed out Hendra's whereabouts.

"Wow.. He is... too handsome."
Some of them let go of their phone and focused on paying attention to Hendra.
"I think his face is familiar."
"Yes, I've seen him, but who is he?" The seven girls in the circle were more intense, observing.
"Without even betting, I would be happy to try it."
"He is like an angel, it's not enough if you are the only one who bet." The girls were saying random words.
"Well, what if the successful one will get a joint from all of us, the amount of one round of Arisan?"
"This is more interesting." They bet with bigger prizes, involving more people.
Another woman who had been silent, full of observation, speaking up.
"I'm joining this time."
"Wow, what's wrong with you, Ra?" Another chirp was surprised.
Raira was a model and the minister's granddaughter from reform order.
"No problem, I'll get the last turn if you all fail. I'm willing to spend more money to make him be my boyfriend." They laughed in unison.
"Hello, who will you pay for?" Kia, the daughter in law of the party owner, came with Tania.
"We're making a bet." Said one of them.
"Look, we bet a very handsome man this time."
"Owh, single girls." Kia mocked at them.
"Which one? I wonder." Kia's eyes hunted, followed by Tania.
"What?? Don't be crazy, you girls." Kia, who was quite close to Tania spontaneously glanced at her friend's eyes.
They were close because Kia was an artist of the same generation before marrying one of Baskoro's sons. She had already smelled Tania's closeness to the Wenceslas Group's heir.
"He is Wenceslas sole successor. Your money can't even buy anything compared to his. Don't mess around him," Kia added.

"What? This is getting interesting." One of them felt like it would be fun.
"Wait, do you mean the CEO is also the Wenceslas Group' sole heir?" The woman who had just spoken picked up her phone, containing an article about Hendra.
"No wonder, I feel he is familiar."
"I won't back down. If the others step back, It doesn't matter. Who knows this will be the greatest opportunity in life."
Geraldine, also known as Nadin, put her diamond ring as the initial down payment and challenged the others.
"Take my arisan if you are successful."
Tania suddenly felt her chest get upset.
'After all, Hendra is very cold with anyone. He will get married soon. Who could conquer him other than me?'
All this time, Tania felt that she knew Hendra the best because she had been together so long and was often used as a shield as his lover to pressure other women.
Both of them were like doing a flirtationship, attracted to each other without status. They were more than friends but not dating, representing a mutualism symbiotic bond.
"But, I got the first chance," Tania asked.
Kia persuaded the others to agree with it. She knew Tania needed this. In her eyes, Tania was Hendra's hidden lover. That was the rumour she had heard.
"Okay, I'll record it." Kia raised her phone, starting an insta story live. It was so noisy with the squad members' whispers.
"Let's see if our artist can beat the CEO."
"Hahaha."
"Tania, show your skills."
"Why should she first? It's unfair."
"Never mind... Let's see our romance artist's action."
Tania took a leisurely step because she had already mastered everything about Hendra.
They met in high school on the roof of the school building, and often together since the ee came home from California, USA.
"Hi." The beautiful woman with perfect make-up wrapped in half-open dresses greeted.
Hendra lazily glanced as he didn't care.

Unto Dark
A man of cripplingly ill mind, bridled with the spirits and regrets of the past. Wade Pierce trudges through each day of his monochrome existence, only as penance for his sins. Such a man is abruptly decamped of this world courtesy of unapologetic forces, left stranded in a realm filled with unknowns. Armed only with his potent yet fragile intellect, Wade advances into this new abyss, as he attempts to rewrite the wrongs he has committed. Plagued by vile beasts, self-righteous Gods, and even his own seething darkness, the cracks in his mind begin to spread and a dangerous, newfound power bubbles beneath the surface. As the world grows darker day by day, this unfortunate journey begins ------------ I suppose rectitude dictates that I should state any themes worthy of noting here. First of all, this story is not a sunshiny one in the slightest. Since it is listed under the psychological and mature tag and not the comedy tag, that shouldn't be a surprise. Next, morbidity is a factor and general apathy towards human life. All of these are common themes amongst other writers, so nothing new there. The story also contains consensual, and non-consensual sexual activity, although I have tried to be as tasteful as is possible for someone like myself. Finally, the pace is drawn-out, and the language is magniloquent at times. Not to mention, the chapters are quite lengthy. Don't expect to read this halfheartedly... Other than that, enjoy the story... There's nothing more important than that...

Post War Rules
Life on Torus Terminal is usually fast paced, but simple. A frontier Terminal has little room for easy living, but the great, circular station does boast shopping and culinary experiences from many Imperial races and cultures. Any star is, by its nature, extremely far from its neighbors. But laser highways, and the great shimmering sails of the light-rider spaceships make the trip into only about ten years. Still, the denizens of Torus Terminal eagerly await the day when the Anti-Euclidean Engine their station is built around finally comes online. Once that is done, they will have unfettered access to the entire Empire. Instantaneous travel and trade across hundreds of stars. Torus Terminal does boast one other oddity: a creature which calls itself Human. As he says, the last of his kind for now. He has made quite the life for himself on Torus Terminal, especially in the darker corners of the station. The elites of Torus Terminal praise his name, for once he took up arms, crime began to fall. What they did not realize was that was because he had claimed the seedy underbelly of Torus Terminal for himself and his own goals. The elites praise him as a paragon of law. The criminals fear him as a ruthlessly clever crime boss. Those closest to him, know him as the General. This story was originally posted on the Humanity Fuck Yeah subreddit, where it evolved from a simple play on a historical figure in a science fiction setting into a full blown space opera. I kind of took it as an opportunity to explore a setting I've had rolling around in my head for years. I also decided that it would be nice to have it in a place where I could more easily come back and edit it later, so I'm reposting it here. Here's a link to the original posting if you're interested: https://www.reddit.com/r/HFY/comments/e9cwpl/post_war_rules/ If my genre and tagging is subpar, let me know. I'm still new to Royal Road and I'm open to help. Feel free to comment and make suggestions, or discuss. I love comments, and so long as we keep things civil I also love criticism.
