Coming home from work, Monica squinted at Kareen who was dragging a suitcase down the corridor of the apartment building to the elevator. She approached her cousin by staring at her in surprise.
"Kareen. Where are you going?" She asked.
"Monica." Kareen looked annoyed at Monica. "I ... I want to move," she replied nervously.
"Moving where? Are you uncomfortable living with me?"
"No, uh ... that's not what I meant. I'm going to move because I've found the right apartment with the right price, I want to just move, "explained Kareen a little stammered.
Monica let out a rough breath, then leaned her body against the wall, holding her hands together. "I am surprised at you. Previously you said you wanted to stay with me so as not to be lonely and save on living expenses. But now you want to move instead. "
"Monica, I don't want to bother you, add to your burden and I also don't want to disturb your calm," Kareen said angrily as she looked at Monica, who was still wearing a work outfit in the form of a black knee-length dress combined with a white top with a black blazer and letting her hair down drooping beautifully.
Monica frowned as she continued to stare at Kareen. "It disturbs my calm what do you mean? Instead, I am glad you live in my apartment, I do not feel lonely anymore and I am happy to be closer to you as a cousin"
"Monica ... I don't want to intrude on your privacy, Suppose your boyfriend comes to visit or your friend, I don't want to bother and I also want to move because I am used to being comfortable living alone, " explained Kareen with sad eyes.
"I promise, I'll come here often to visit you even though I live in another apartment. Please understand, my move was pure because of my wish, not because of my discomfort with you. We'll see each other at the office often. " Kareen continues to reassure Monica.
Monica massages her forehead for a moment then looks at Kareen with resignation. "Okay, if that's what you want, I can't prevent it. If something happens or you need my help, don't hesitate to ask me for help."
"Of course. We are still sisters even though we no longer live together," Kareen exclaims with a smile and then hugs Monica for a moment.
"Do I need to escort?" asked Monica, because Kareen didn't have her car yet.
"Eh, no need. I've ordered a taxi online. You better take a break. I know you must be tired because you are not too healthy either." Kareen smiled reassuringly.
Monica nodded. "Yes, I'm tired and want to lie down soon."
"I happened to have cooked for you. You can immediately eat, then rest," said Kareen.
"Really?"
"Yes, I took the time to cook even though it's only stir-fry shrimp. I hope you like it and hopefully, your condition will recover soon." Kareen patted Monica's shoulder, then glanced at her watch, which showed the time at 08:13 p.m. "Looks like my taxi is coming. I have to go now."
"All right then, be careful. Let me know when you arrive at your new apartment," Monica exclaimed.
"Yes, see you tomorrow at the office," replied Kareen with a smile, then immediately walked to drag her suitcase to the elevator.
Monica's smile begins to fade as Kareen grows away from her sight. She smiled strangely sarcastically and continued her steps towards the door of her apartment which was still a few meters away. "How strange. Why did she act weird after Dean married Mrs. Bryaa after Raymond approached her? Was he up to something? Oh my God, I hope he's not being cheating or sneaky. "

At Bryana's mansion, Raymond meets Stevan who is packing his clothes into a suitcase. It seems that the middle-aged man is going to travel or even return to London.
"Are you coming home tomorrow morning?" asked Raymond with an unpleasant look.
"Of course. Marco says someone is sabotaging our company's security system. Our house there is no longer safe. Daddy has to go back and take care of the mess over there." Stevan explained while putting some of his clothes into the suitcase.
"I think dad will come back to London when Dean and Bryana get back here," murmured Raymond.
Stevan smiled faintly at Raymond. "They have only had a honeymoon for a day, how could they go home."
"But they'll be home as soon as possible," said Raymond.
Stevan frowned and turned to look at Raymond, who was sitting on the edge of the bed on a plain white sheet. "Why are they coming home so soon?" he asked investigating.
"Because I asked," Raymond replied casually.
Stevan exhaled roughly and looked at Raymond in surprise. "Why? Why did you ask them to come home as soon as possible? Don't you feel sorry for them? They just felt happy as a new couple after being alone for so long. You're ruining their honeymoon! "Stevan gave Raymond a disappointed look.
"Why are you angry with me? I thought it was natural for me to ask them to come back soon because the children were in danger. "
"Yes, but the kids are safe enough with your guard. My father has ordered bodyguards from London for added security here you shouldn't have asked them to come back soon. "Stevan was still disappointed. he looked away and returned to packing his clothes into the suitcase.
"Dad always thinks about Jill first, even though I'm daddy's son too. I'm doing all this because I love Calvin and Sofia. they are my nephews and I can't let them continue to be depressed because the bastards Gustave and Alex are always after them! "Raymond was spitting out everything in his heart. Wait! Why did he mention that Sofia was his nephew?
"There's nothing wrong with your opinion and your actions. But considering Bryana and Dean's suffering, dad doesn't want to see them suffer again," Stevan said angrily, then sat on the edge of the bed right next to Raymond. Wait! why did she also know Dean's suffering? Did he know about Dean's past, who was left dead by Clarissa?
"I never thought they would become husband and wife. I also accidentally made Dean as Bodyguard for Bryana. It just happened as if God had managed all this."Raymond spoke as if he knew who Dean was for Bryana and who Dean was for his family.
"Everything is already done. We just need to support their togetherness. I hope Gustave doesn't mess up again, "said Stevan angrily.
"When will Dean and Bryana be home?" he asked.
"Maybe the day after tomorrow," Raymond replied. "Tomorrow I will be very busy at the office. I think dad will delay daddy's departure because I can't look after the kids."
"Everything will be all right, Raymond. Trust our Bodyguard. After all, why should we hire a bodyguard if you still have to keep busy looking after your nephew? Alex won't dare come to interfere either, because Calvin doesn't want to stay with him and our guard is getting worse. strict." Stevan seemed sure.
Raymond sighed. "Okay then, I'm going to the room. I want to rest."
"Yes.." Stevan nodded and let his son leave the room Bryana had prepared for him.
