Stealing The Wife's First Kiss Chapter 148
Advertisement
Not a single member of the group dared to reply to a message from the soloist.
Until finally, after a few hours passed, someone who would be visited by them directly replied to Damar's message.
"It's okay, Damar. Just come along. I'm waiting for you guys, okay? My room is on the second floor. Wenceslas family's room.
Someone stared at the cellphone with a smile, while the other read in bitterness. They speculated what would happen next.
.

"Make him kneel down!!". Wiryo took control once he was in his territory.
The elder's grandson didn't want to obey orders. He was still standing firmly against his grandfather's bodyguard.
"You're still stubborn after clearly making a mistake". Wiryo looked upset.
"If I have to kneel, I'll do it in front of my wife, not you". Hendra didn't feel guilty towards his grandfather. These two people were both stubborn. A gene that was passed down, copied and pasted.
"Oh, okay. If that's what you think". The light movement of Wiryo's fingers was like an implicit order. It was followed by the movement of releasing Wenceslas's heir and the bodyguards came out of the room voluntarily.
"You have to return that kid to her family!". The face was worried but his words were the opposite.
"How dare you? She's my wife. No one can touch her! Let alone ask me to let her go". The blue-eyed was blazing. He was angry with Wiryo's careless words.
"Then why did you lock your wife?! Don't tell me it's because your disease is getting worse!!". On the face of the elder, there was a hint of sorrow that he was hiding tightly.
"Yes. I know I was wrong. But she already forgave me. It means I just need to improve myself. No one can interfere!". Hendra defended himself again.
"You think I don't know? Last night you almost killed two people at once. I thought marriage would make you better. In fact, you're a danger to others.. Return her to her father!".
"No!".
"You can manage my life, but Aruna, no one can beat me". Hendra showed his disapproval in a harsh tone.
"What's your reason? If you don't have a reasonable reason, I'll arrange for your wife's return". Wiryo was looking for an explanation.

Hendra was silent. He was unable to come up with an answer. There was no way he'd disclose his own wife's disgrace that he was angry because she'd met his rival. Including about him, who couldn't do much because of the MoU between them.
"I have reasons that I can be held accountable for, but not for you to know". This hair stepped away, intending to leave the room.
"Don't treat Aruna the same as Nana. You were still a kid before so I thought the incident was just a mischief".
Hendra stopped walking. He didn't have any memories of Nana except for a child with bangs holding a doll and running to hug him.
The blue-eyed decided to ignore something that felt unfamiliar and kept on walking.
"Once again you treat Lesmana's daughter badly, I'll make sure she comes back to her father's house. Your emotions are getting worse".
"Hehe. Am I a monster who needs to be threatened in order to take care of my own wife? Is it you or me who's a monster?? You formed who, so you're the one who's responsible for all of my bad behaviors". The door was slammed by the only successor.
It was followed by the fall of the stick of the strongest and most arrogant man. For the first time, Hendra dared to fight against the wishes and words of the elder Wiryo. Truly beyond expectations.
"Get inside. My grandfather needs help". Hendra's words to the bodyguard who guarded the door.
He was hesitant to leave the place. Unfortunately, another rage within himself strengthened his stance to walk away.
The knowledge that was slowly intact regarding the existence of Wiryo's adopted child who had grown up to be like himself, gave this man a different perspective on his own grandfather.
In the past, the blue-eyed was just speculating. Now, the authentic evidence spoke as a rational eyewitness. Riswan slowly opened the veil of Wiryo's power as well as his weakness as a grandfather who had grandchildren humanely.
The initial conclusion from the blue-eyed was that Wiryo treated his grandson like an item. An ideal product that was ready to be marketed. Just like his behavior towards Aruna. He was unconsciously the same as Wiryo, making Aruna his favorite item.
In his move this time, the blue-eyed was determined to change the nature of the Key Performance Indicators that had been built for him over the years.

_Ah. She's resting_ The blue-eyed sat in the hallway in front of his wife's room. He closed his tired eyes, accompanied by meaningful waiting.
A loyal man whom many women dreamed of. A man who used to be more concerned with his self-image in public or his personal branding that was built up in his work environment had melted away and put everything off.
The VVIP patient's hallway was rarely passed by. Once it was passed by, sometimes it was by a cross section of business, friendship circles, and more.
Hendra had to chatter when they greeted him and made excuses why they were in this place. Unfortunately, those who were staying must've realized that the blue-eyed man was often outside. Their whispers about the strangeness of his behavior were accepted calmly.
Until a door opened slowly. The woman inside slowly realized her husband's weakness. At first, she wasn't sure that she was left in the room alone. Until someone who was talking showed his back.
He must've been waiting outside for a long time. Was it about not being able to see someone sleeping unless he felt a pulse or smelled the breath that was blowing? Aruna continued to guess and hadn't found an answer. Until this girl decided to get out of her bed and slowly dragged the IV that was hanging from the pole.
"Hen.. Why don't you come in?". The blue-eyed immediately opened his eyes and rushed over.
"Been here long, huh??". Aruna looked at him carefully. The man in front of her looked exhausted.
"Why did you get out of your bed? You can call me using your phone right?".
Aruna ignored his words.
"Is it about not being able to see me lying down?". Aruna approached and pulled his hand.
"I don't know.." The blue-eyed was confused.
"If you touch my pulse, can you come in?". Aruna asked as she led him into the room.
"I don't know yet..". The blue-eyed surrendered. He really didn't know.
"Don't you sleep with me every day while holding my pulse?". Aruna looked for an explanation.
"It's a little different when you're sick". Hendra began to disclose something that he hid.
"Help me get into bed". Lesmana's daughter asked, who felt a little complicated getting into her bed with an infused hand. She tried to unravel the tension of the man who looked down and didn't dare to make a gaze.
The husband melted down. He carried his wife like a baby and sat Aruna down. He didn't lay this girl down.
"So, the MoU point about not being allowed to demand, ask for, and expect to be treated when sick. Is that really your weakness?". (Split second, Chapter 35)
The man wanted to hide it tightly but the woman actually understood one by one slowly.
_Could it be that Hendra fainted when he was at the Sky Tower Mansion because of the same problem?_ (Room 22 last year, Chapter 16)
This girl remembered very well how Surya approached her personally and begged Aruna to pretend not to know about the incident of Hendra's fainting. In fact, it was that girl who picked up the phone from Surya and gave the news that Hendra was unconscious. Hendra thought that Surya'd found him and he also took him to the hospital, without Aruna's knowledge.
Luckily, Aruna captured Surya's explanation well. At that time, Aruna concluded that Hendra would be embarrassed if he knew that the one who helped him when he fainted was Aruna. (Angel's face, Chapter 17)
Now, the girl understood. Maybe Hendra still didn't know that she once found himself passed out in front of Aruna. In fact, this girl knew a lot more.
"Relax.. I won't lie down". Aruna asked him to accompany her. The CEO of Wenceslas Group had no reason to refuse. He also wanted to accompany his wife. He sat on a chair and held Aruna's right hand, the hand without an IV.
"You don't want to know what weakness that I have?". This man understood very well from the way his wife looked at him as if she was searching for a hidden room that was tightly locked.
"I don't want to know.. You're wrong..".
Like a secret code that was allowed to remain safe. Hendra dared to stare at his wife now.

The Lady's Handbook of Intrigue and Murder (High Fantasy Politics)
Summary:The daughter of a dying house is summoned to the Imperial City to meet and perhaps marry a handsome prince. It sounds like a fairy tale. Except Mydea doesn’t have the advantage of a half-forgotten childhood encounter, supreme magic to match the highest echelons of society, or even the privilege of an ally. In order to survive and make a name for herself, she must beat the Imperial Court at its own game. At least no one's tried to kill her—yet. Notes: Basically, if you liked the magic of Harry Potter and the politics of Game of Thrones, you'll probably like this. While the first book focuses on the female lead, and the interplay of competing regional and imperial interests, subsequent books will also cover warfare and how I imagine that differs wildly from historical norms with the introductions of a magical aristocracy. Updates every Mon / Thurs / SatAdvance Chapters available on my Patreon [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]

The Court of Souls?
Author's Comment: I was asked about reading my work on other sites. The answer is simple: Currently I am not active in any other networks than royalroadl.com. Only here, I correct mistakes and errors. If you read it anywhere else and have to pay for it, or have to deal with an annoying amount of advertisement, You Are Being Betrayed. You would do good if you make other people in that network aware of it. This is a free project of mine for the purpose of having fun. And if people try to make money with it you shouldn't bother visiting their website. The only one whom I actually allowed to have my work on his website is Armaell who invested the time to compile them into pdf. (http://armaell-library.net/author/andur) ——————————————————————————————— Reading Order of the Multiverse-Books ——————————————————————————————— What do we talk about tonight? ~“How about a story?”~ Fine by me. Which story? Hopefully a good one. ~“There was once a lonely child in a world filled with myths, gods and demons. Only power counted there and the weak were worse than cattle. A world where survival of the fittest ruled.”~ Was it strong then? ~“No, but the child had a power. One that made him stand between light and darkness. Nothing could escape him, so he was shunned by his people.”~ What did he do? Did he fight his fate? Did he hide his power? What was it? ~“Oh, he fought. He fought a lot. And no thing could escape his power. It was something that everyone had to live with.”~ So he became a hero and changed the world? ~“…”~ Tell me. ~“Nooo, that's not how the story goes. This isn't a story of a noble man, doing good amidst a sea of monsters. This is a story of a demon who was... kinder than the rest.”~ A kind demon? How boring. ~“I think it would be better if I tell the story, so you can judge for yourself.”~ So tell the story!
