CEO'S Prince
Sculled

The Flash Back On.

Her afternoon.

Andre and Ares are in Ares's den. The room walled exposed bricks. A dark bookcase, and a blend of stainless material on the table and windows make Ares' workspace look luxurious and give a more masculine impression. With proper lighting, this space is able to provide a comfortable atmosphere to brainstorm together with the son of a big mafia.

"Have you contacted your father?" asked Andre with his baritone voice.

Ares nodded. "I've asked my father to impede Black Phanter's ill will on your family. And you've got the secret information you asked for, haven't you?"

Andre nodded. "Thank you for everything. For years, my secretary and I have been trying to get information about my mother. But it didn't work. Hm ... Pretty much finger-picking, your dad got that information right away."

Indeed a mafia like Mr. Hades is very extraordinary, inner Andre.

Ares took a deep breath. His face looks a little restless.

"And what does your father want in return?" ask Andre who really understands that in this world nothing is free. He can guess if Mr. Hades must have asked Andre for a big reward until Ares seemed uncomfortable talking about it.

"Andre, I hope you don't get angry or hate my father after I say this."

"Tell me, Ares." Andre is ready to hear Mr. Hades' request.

Ares bit his lip. Seems to be doubtful.

"Will Mr Hades ask for shares of Ariandono Group? Just tell me, Mr. Hades wants what percentage?" ask Andre who is ready to give 5 percent of his shares, exchange for the safety of his small family and confidential information that has been given Mr. Hades.

"My father doesn't want your shares, Andre. But more than that." Ares was pleased to hear Andre's question. It is seen if his father is a mafia who does not want to lose a bit and looks greedy.

"I don't have anything of higher value than the shares of Ariandono Group," replies Andre puzzled.

"Does your father want both my hands and my feet?" asked Andre while looking at his precious limbs.

Ares shook his head. "My father doesn't want your body. But ...."

"But what, Ares?" asked Andre curiously.

"your son. My father wanted your son to be engaged to my daughter after my daughter was born" Ares replied limply.

"How could a five-year-old boy be engaged to a newborn baby girl? This is really crazy" muttered Ares who did not want his baby daughter was determined by the grandfather.

Andre, who heard Ares mutter, was stunned and took a few steps back. "Is there no other reward I can give for replacing it?"

Ares shook his head. "Sorry, Andre. I've even offered something bigger than the five percent stake of Ariandono Group to my father. But he remained clumsy on his stance. I was even threatened with being removed from the family register, forbidden to see my mother, Hera and my two sisters (different mothers), Nicole and Nicholas if they did not want to comply."

Ares ruffled his hair. Frustrated by his father's threats and demands.

"Ares, if you're just getting engaged, I don't think it's a hard thing. But keeping the engagement until they are adults and committed to getting married later, that's what's difficult. I'm not sure if my son would fall in love, marry your daughter and live happily if they were betrothed from childhood like this" said Andre.

Ares's eyes widened to hear Andre's words.

"Andre, you're very smart. My father never said that your son should marry my daughter after they grow up. My dad only asked them to get engaged as kids. That means our daughter's son can call off their engagement if, as adults, they don't want to continue. So for now, we better get them engaged. When they grow up, they are asked to decide. Do you want to continue or be canceled?" ares said with a smile of victory managed to solve a strange problem in an instant.

Andre smiles. This handsome man before him had a thousand senses to see the gap the agreement made together with his father.

Andre extended his hand. "We kept this a secret from our wives until Athena gave birth to her twins. Who knows the USG results are wrong. Athena was pregnant with two twin sons. Not twins son and daughter."

Ares nodded his head and shook Andre's hand. "I'll call my dad soon. After that, we immediately leave for Surabaya."

"Thank you, Ares." Andre breathed a sigh of relief. For a while it was all he could do to protect Kinan and Rimba. Get rid of the name Black Panther from the list of hitmen who target family members.

***

The sky had already started to blacken when Andre, Ares and Kinan reached the front of the doctor Song Hwa's house.

The house is shades of white with dark blue accents on the doors and window panels. The garden looks so enchanting, filled with white roses.

The three of them walked into the terrace of Dr. Song Hwa's house. Andre had called Song Hwa's doctor and told him that Andre and his wife and best friend would come to Song Hwa's doctor's house.

Kriet's! The blue door opened. There appeared a very beautiful and graceful woman from behind the door. Wearing all-white clothes that make it look young even though he is almost five heads.

"Andre!" doctor Song Hwa said he was happy to see this handsome man come to his house, not meet in his clinic practice room in the hospital, as they often do every month.

Without hesitation Andre hugged the body of the beautiful woman before him. "Can I now call you Mother, Doctor Song Hwa?"

Instantly Doctor Song Hwa's body froze in Andre's arms. "Where do you know that I'm your real mother?"

"My best friend told me, Mom. I'm sorry I didn't recognize you as my mother. I know you love me more than just a patient." Andre took off his embrace and wiped away the melted tears on Doctor Song Hwa's cheeks.

"Never feel guilty, Andre. Your father doesn't want you to know that I'm your mother until you find out yourself. And according to your father's estimation, you must have come here to seek his inheritance. An inheritance that can be used to defeat your mother and step-sister" doctor Song Hwa said, shrinking her tears. Calm his mind so as not to dissolve in sadness. There's something more important now.

"Did Ayu Sekar intend to harm Kinan and Rimba?" doctor Song Hwa asked as he looked at the beautiful and graceful woman next to his son. Kinan Lee, his former student who had become his son-in-law a few days ago. That was the information he got from his brother. Professor Rudolph.

Doctor Song Hwa approached Kinan and held both of his hands. Kinan looked still very shocked by Andre's words. It turns out that doctor Song Hwa is Andre's real mother.

"Sorry, Doctor. I should have more quickly told Brother Andre that Rimba had managed to find eight numbers of coordinate points from the number puzzle competition. So that you two will meet sooner, "sorry Kinan.

Doctor Song Hwa shook his head. "You're innocent Kinan. You've sacrificed a lot for my son."

Dr. Song Hwa returns to the words of his brother, Professor Rudolph, who has sacrificed the future of Kinan Lee so that his son, Raden Andre Ariandono, becomes a normal human being. Not a human idiot anymore.

"I love your son, Doctor. And now that I am happy living together with her," Kinan replied immediately to Song Hwa's doctor affectionately.

Kinan understood all the words of Doctor Song Hwa. And indeed Kinan never regretted his decision with Andre six years ago. Whether it happened because of Professor Rudolph's interference or because of his fate line. Kinan did not regret meeting Andre.
