Scratches of Wound in Fiona's Heart
Covering the Truth

Fiona who had just returned home from work, frowned when she saw Sera was already in front of her office. "I want to talk to you." Sera approached Fiona when she saw her just coming out of the lobby.

"What else do you want to talk about?" Fiona seemed to be in no mood at all to talk to Sera.

"What cunning ways did you use that Aunt Yesinta approved of your marriage?"

Sera had indeed heard about the news of Steven's marriage from Erland. Several times he went to Steven's old man's mansion to meet his mother, but failed because it was always stopped by Steven's bodyguards who stood guard in front of the gate.

Sera also goes to Steven's office to ask Steven directly about the news of his wedding, but Sera cannot meet Steven because Steven is in his subsidiary.

Fiona stared pushyly at Sera. "I don't have time to deal with your bullshit. You better give up, you're already losing. Steven will never be yours, Sera. Aware."

Sera clenched her hands and gritted her teeth. "It seems you don't know who I am yet. I won't let you marry him. Just wait, I'll ruin your marriage." Sera leaves Fiona after warning her.

Two days have passed, tonight Steven's mother plans to meet with the Fiona family. His original plan, Yesinta, was to pay a visit to Sarah's residence, but there was a sudden change at Steven's request.

He can't accompany them as there are still affairs out of town so Steven asks his mother to meet Sarah and Cindy outside, who are, in one of the restaurants with private rooms that have been ordered by Steven.

Fiona sighed for a moment before opening the door of the reserved room. When he opened it, it was seen that Cindy and her mother were sitting. When they saw Fiona and Yesinta coming, the two of them immediately stood up to welcome Fiona and Yesinta.

Sarah seemed to widen her smile while greeting Yesinta kindly. Before speaking, they all first enjoyed the dinner that was already available on the round table with various types of food.

"in 7 days, the application will be held at the Raffles hotel. You don't have to do anything. Let my family prepare everything."

The original plan of the long application event will be held 3 days longer, but immediately pushed back by Steven's mother.

The aura that Yesinta displayed while speaking was very graceful and classy made Sarah not have confidence in front of Yesinta. In addition, Sarah also did not dare to offend Yesinta after she knew Steven's true family background.

"Well, thank you for accepting my son as a future daughter-in-law in the Pradigta family."

"You should thank Fiona, no matter what thanks to her, your family's degree can go up. Even though he's not your real son, I will still look at you as his family, but I warn you. Don't you treat Fiona like you used to. Especially if she's already in our family, you can't be as happy with Fiona."

"What do you mean?" Sarah doesn't think Yesinta can tell that Fiona is not her real child.

"I know everything." Yesinta's words seem to imply that he knows what is happening in his family that is unknown to others.

Yesinta glanced at Fiona. "Fiona asked your sister to come out for a while, there's something I want to talk to your mom about."

After Fiona and Cindy came out, Yesinta turned the corner of her lips to the left. "Sarah, did you forget me?" Yesinta's question seemed to imply that they had met before.

Sarah examined Isaith's face closely. "Are you that woman 7 years ago?" It is fitting that Sarah felt familiar when she saw Yesinta for the first time.

"True, it was me, my husband and Darius who met Halim, your husband in the hospital."

Sarah's face changed. "Didn't my husband tell Halim to take her abroad? How can he still be here?" ask Yesinta.

Sarah stammered and did not dare to look at Yesinta's face. "It-it's... That's my husband. We actually took him out of the country once, but my husband brought him back."

"Did you deliberately let her stay here so she could meet Steven?"

"What does the girl have to do with Steven? Why can't Fiona meet Steven."

Sarah's eyes widened. "So....."

"Because they have already met, I can no longer separate them. Never bring up that problem again with either Fiona or Steven. I will make your life miserable until you leak this matter, especially to my son. Just let him know nothing. I want my son to live happily because I see he loves Fiona so much right now."

The next day, Steven meets Fiona at her apartment after returning home from work. "Darling, how was the conversation between your mom and your mom? Did your mother make trouble?" Steven plays Fiona's hair sitting next to him.

Fiona put her phone on the table, turned to Steven with a smile. "No, the conversation was good."

Steven looked at Fiona with a serious face. "Fio, there's something I want to tell you."

"What?"

"There's a little bit of a problem with my company overseas. I'll be there a few days to finish."

Fiona changed her seat to face Steven with a grim face. "But, what about the proposal?"

"I'll be back before our application. I have to go straight there" Steven explained.

"All right."

The next day, Fiona takes Steven to the airport. Steven's plan is to ride his private jet out of the country with Erick. "Steve, hurry back, lest you forget our application day" Fiona said with a sad face.

Steven hugged Fiona's body tightly. "Yes, I'll be right back, wait for me."

Fiona nodded. "Never meet another man while I'm gone let alone having an affair behind my back" Steven continued.

"Yes, Steve, I don't want to do that."

"Fiona, I will miss you very much later. As long as I'm gone, you can't ignore a single one of my messages and can't return my messages for more than a minute. If you do that, I'll call you right away."

"Yes." Yeah." Fiona was unable to say anything more. He seemed unwilling to part with Steven even if only for a moment.

"I'll go first, take good care of yourself. I'll be right back" Steven said after breaking his arms.

Fiona continued to stare at Steven's departure with a sad look. There was an uncomfortable feeling when he saw Steven's last smile before it disappeared from his sight.

Fiona's days passed quietly, Sera had never appeared before her again and the more her relationship with Steven's mother improved. Every day Fiona meets with Steven's mother to talk about her marriage proposal and preparations.

As Steven promised, he should be back today, but from yesterday, Steven was very difficult to contact, several times his phone was ignored by Steven. The message has not been answered until now. Fiona is worried and anxious about Steven's situation.

He wants to pick up Steven at the airport, but he doesn't know what time Steven's scheduled return is. Fiona finally decided to meet Steven's mother because today, they will indeed talk about her engagement which will be done in 2 days.

When he arrived at Steven's parents' mansion, he was shocked to learn that Steven had come home and was talking to his mother in the study. At first he was surprised why Steven did not tell him about his return, but finally he knew the reason behind Steven ignoring him.

When he intends to meet Steven and his mother in the workspace, the surprising thing he accidentally heard from the conversation Steven and his mother. His hands and body trembled when he heard everything the two of them were talking about.

Seriate....
