"You're going through a lot of changes, like it wasn't Liam I used to know. That woman really brought you to your knees in front of her. You used to think of women as just a stress reliever when you had free time, even you never lasted long with the same woman. But, now.who knows.apparently after you met him, maybe you just understood the meaning of the feeling of belonging to each other."
For a moment Liam was stunned, and a flash of memory about his past flashed through the mind of "She is Different, Harumi never brought me to my knees before him. She's not that kind of woman, but I'm the one who depends on her."
"Are you sure this isn't just about making amends for what you did to her ?!"
At first he did not want to give any response, Liam kept silent while taking a deep breath. It wasn't easy for him, because somehow the two had a relationship in the past that was interconnected. Harumi did not know about it.
The mistake that Liam had made in the past to Harumi, might be difficult for the woman to accept if she already knew the truth. Loving someone who has scratched the trauma is quite painful in his past, will continue to imprint in Harumi's life until anytime.
"I want him to be happy. Happy."
...****************...
Harumi stepped down the stairs, after changing into her casual dress with a bright yellow knee-length dress while carrying a small leather bag hanging over her shoulder. He walked over and met Scarlett.
"Mrs will go ?" Scarlett approached her employer
Harumi nodded slowly "Well, I'm going somewhere. Today, you can just rest Scarlett. I'm gonna take a cab"
"But, Mistress... Mr. Seymour ordered me to always escort you" she replied, although Scarlett's slender face looked confused
Harumi looked at him smiling "Its Ok, I'll talk to him. Today, I'm going to comfort you. I'm sure you need some time off for a vacation, too. I can go there myself, there's something important I want to finish."
"But what if Mr. Seymour asked about you ? Master would definitely be very angry if I didn't run.."
"Scarlett" interrupted Harumi gently "for this time only, I need your help. Please if Liam asks me where I'm going, just tell me I bought some stuff at the Electronics Store."
Scarlett fell silent, she frowned "T-but, Madam. He'll definitely fire me."
Harumi approached, touching the edge of the shoulder of her personal bodyguard to calm her down a little "Please Scarlett, just this time. I need your help. "
Although with mixed feelings, but Scarlett was unable to refuse the request of the employer. He must fulfill Harumi's wish.
Scarlett nodded once hesitantly "Alright, I'll get you a Taxi."
Harumi felt relief on her face "Thank you, Scarlett"
...****************...
Grabbing his glass that already contained red wine, Liam stared from the edge of the glass "How is the condition ?"
"Information I received, Mr. Whiston has now been placed in the treatment room after undergoing surgery and has passed her critical period. His condition began to stabilize, although he still had to undergo intensive treatment. For now he is still unconscious." replied Secretary Will calmly
Liam leaned his body on the back of the chair, his gaze turning on the window that still displayed the atmosphere of the high cloud tops and the bluish-white expanse.
Secretary Will, who was sitting right in front of him, tried to provide other information. His face looked serious "I've found a source who has spread the word of the rumor."
"Is he someone I know ?" Liam without a stale base directly on target
Secretary Will nodded "Right, Master. He is Mr. Wals. Noah Wals"
Liam gave an unexpected response, he was very calm to hear the answer from his confidant. Even the man smiled slightly as he did not take his eyes off the window "Why do all those cowardly people love to play Cheap Games ?!!!"
"What will you do next ?"
Liam turned to look at him "Let it go, he was running his game. We just follow the flow of the game. It is not time to return. Not this time." he said as he put his glass back on the table.
...****************...
A car stopped at a house, and the driver opened the door for his passengers.
The woman stood for a long time, just staring at the house in front of the fence.
The look on his face was quite tense, he could feel the vibration of feeling raging within him.
Harumi did not want to step foot inside. His steps were so heavy, he could almost feel his heart pounding every time he stepped on his feet.
His breath felt tight in the throat, tightly he held the bag strap still hanging on his shoulder.
Harumi could feel herself so nervous. The hue of tension coloring his face was getting more intense.
Even though he felt unprepared for now, he still forced himself.
"You should be able to, Harumi. You can" he murmured.
With heavy steps and he felt closer the distance he traveled to the door of the house. The tension is getting worse, Harumi's body is stiff. He remained silent for a long time before he pressed the bell.
He waited, his face looking down at his two tightly closed legs. Then occasionally pay attention to the clothes he was wearing at that time. Sometimes he tidied up a little crease of the bottom of his dress.
Then....
After waiting for quite a while, Harumi heard someone pull the doorknob.
Door opens.
Harumi raised her face, and she noticed someone standing in front of her.
"You ?!" the man threw a piercing look
Harumi took a breath, then tried to smile even though it really looked full of weight "Sir Ameera."
"what are you here for ? You don't have to come here anymore ! Isn't your life now much better" Ameera jolted in flames. Anger seemed to have clearly enveloped the woman.
His breath was hunting, his face was red. Although it looks Ameera is still trying to hold back her emotions. But, there was no more unpretentious Ameera there. "Go, before I kick you out more rudely."
Harumi's chest became increasingly tight, she was unable to respond to anything. Her face was in shock when Harumi had to receive a truly unpleasant welcome from someone she loved dearly. Someone she already considered as her Big Sister.
"Sister, listen to my explanation first." Harumi's voice trembled, her body started to limp.
Guilt was clearly visible from Harumi's face.
"Whatever that explanation is, I don't trust you anymore !! GO !!" snapped Ameera, she stared at Harumi sharply not wanting to be denied
Harumi pleaded with her two teary eyes "I'm sorry, this is not as imagined..."
"WHAT THEN ?!!! You don't realize, what you've done, has caused bad things to others. And now, you came after leaving without any news. Don't you know how we are doing now ?!!!. IT'S ALL BECAUSE OF YOU. BECAUSE OF YOUR STUPID ACTIONS, AND ALL SUFFER BECAUSE OF YOUR SELFISHNESS. You've ruined everything. Destroying US."
Harumi fell silent, her tears flowing. The woman removed it quickly. But the water did not stop flowing. "Pardon me, please."
Ameera's gaze increasingly pierced "Elena was sick, her illness was getting worse. He suffered so much to hear the truth. And... Robert will divorce me soon. He has filed divorce papers and will take custody of our three children."
Harumi could not speak anymore. For a moment, the mood was silent. He could feel his body freeze and his heart ache at the same time.
"I'm not stupid, after I figure it all out. It has to do with your relationship and the Son of the Seymour Family. Robert was fired from his company. And now I'm going to divorce me because Robert's parents had a secret agreement with Anita, Liam Seymour's mother." Ameera smiled sinisterly at once. The woman's face was clouded by a black shadow that was shackled with such deep sadness.
