The Essence Of The Darkness
Episode 118: Elana's Confession

"That's impossible!" maya's face immediately turned deathly pale when she heard the sentence that slid from Credence's lips, while the sound of his screams was so loud that the Credence driver who was at the front of the car, slightly turned his head in surprise. "Akram Night is known to have a high appetite for women! I know for sure because I have followed all the news about him, he only wants to date high class women, from among noble, artists, famous models or other successful and famous women. In fact..Even Elana's thin body, very much different from the taste of Akram before,"

Credence crossed her arms, looking at Maya as if looking at a fool.

"When you see someone dating the same type many times, it's not necessarily their taste. Akram could have dated the women just to meet the expectations of an information-hungry audience about him. We'll never know what's going on behind the scenes of Akram's life because we're just outsiders" Credence squinted. "Who knows that Akram's taste is actually an innocent and innocent woman like Elana?"

"Congratulations and innocence?" back Maya screamed while overwhelmed with anger. "How can you think that bitch is innocent and innocent? Did you forget that I looked with my own eyes and almost caught sight of Elana and Elios just making out without morals in the office toilet?" maya is full of anger. "That's just been discovered by me, who knows that Elana also used her body to seduce Xavier? They were too close to being suspicious! Xavier is also seen always defending him!"

"Dragon's talking, Maya. You speak without evidence and based on assumptions. If until this accusation comes out and you turn out to be wrong, I don't know what Akram Night will do to you," Credence growled, starting to feel dislike for Maya's negative attitude that was out of control.

Maya biting her lips with her hands clenched. "I believe what my eyes see. Whether what was used by Elana to lure Akram, it may be true you say, he used his innocence and innocence to tempt Akram because Akram almost never found such a woman in the scope of his association. But it was clear, if what was behind the innocent appearance was not the same as it looked outside! That bitch tricked Akram!" maya's eyes shone with determination. "I will make Akram realize his mistake!"

Credence glanced at Maya who was preoccupied with her own evil thoughts. A ray of disgust flashed in his eyes, showing how he actually felt towards the woman next to him. All this time he tolerated Maya's arrogance and arrogance, because Maya was a genius and her work was always brilliant. However, if Credence has been kind and willing to advise, while Maya remains stubborn and unwilling to accept it, so it's better that Credence shut up and see how Maya dug her own grave into the ruin.

"Just this time I warned you, Maya. The rest I won't bother if you act recklessly and harm yourself" Credence hissed his warning sentence in a slow tone. "I was a great observer, and I clearly saw that Elana, who meant a lot to the brothers, Akram Night and Xavier Light. Those two people, despite looking like ordinary businessmen on the surface, were extremely dangerous behind it. The two sisters were so horrible that people would rather avoid than fight back," Credence's voice was so firm that it forced Maya to look up and look her in the eye.

"So, I hope you listen to my advice, you come to the Night Corporation to work, so just work and do not have to interfere in the internal affairs of the people there. I know you admire Akram Night, but be aware of your position as an outsider and stop trying to forcefully squeeze in to be a part of his life. You're a woman, not your share of chasing men. Have you ever heard the saying that if a man does not want you, there will be no way to make him want to be with you, and vice versa, if a man wants you, there's no way to make him stop chasing you. So, instead of you attacking everywhere, you better shut up and not make trouble. Because, if Akram Night likes you, he'll come after you without you having to do anything about it" Credence thinned his lips full of threats. "One more thing, if you make trouble, I will firmly return you to the headquarters and take my other assistants to accompany me here."

Credence gives a clear and well-meaning explanation. Unfortunately, his interlocutor, Maya, is an arrogant figure who always feels the smartest to not accept the advice of others.

Both of Maya's hands were still clenched, while flames of jealousy and flames of anger were burning strongly in her chest. Credence's advice to him was just like the wind of the past that he had not heard in earnest. What is on his mind now, is how to unmask Elana in front of Akram, so that Akram will realize what the real figure of Elana is bad.

The nurse who had replaced Elana's clothes had just stepped out when the door opened again and it was Akram who this time entered the room.

The man also seemed to have changed clothes, with a more relaxed outfit, his hair also looked wet like it had just taken a shower.

Elana looked at Akram and a feeling of guilt instantly filled her. Earlier while taking care of her while vomiting, Akram's clothes were also wet with water. But to Elana's amazement, the man painstakingly treated her, helping her to finish vomiting deftly, without the slightest trace of disgust flashed across her face.

When Akram pulled the chair near the bed and sat there, Elana immediately focused her attention on Akram's face, with good intentions of apologizing. But he was then shocked when he found Akram's expression extremely grim. It was as if a cloud covered the man's soul and there was no light in his eyes.

Elana immediately guessed, her mind spinning wildly looking for answers.

Why did Akram suddenly become so grim? Wasn't it earlier when the man left her to talk to Nathan's doctor, his facial expression looked fine? What don't-don't.... Akram just received bad news about Elana's condition? She was vomiting for no reason for a few days..Didn't she have stomach cancer?

Elana's face paled when the most terrifying shadow was afflicting her, she opened her mouth about to ask, but at the same time, Akram raised his head and looked at her sharply.

"Do you hate and disdain me, Elana?"

The question suddenly came out of Akram's lips unexpectedly, making Elana stunned with her mouth open, having trouble digesting the meaning of the question in her brain even though her ears were clearly hearing.

"A..what?" Elana couldn't believe her own ears, which is why she answered questions with questions.

Akram breathed before speaking.

"Nathan said that if you vomit, not because of physical problems, but because of psychic problems." Akram momentarily stopped his sentence and stared intently. "If I remember, you always vomit when you're with me, while when I'm not around, you're fine." Akram rattled his hair as if frustrated. "So, I thought.. I am the cause of your vomiting.. Well maybe... You still hold a sense of disgust and hatred for me?"

Elana was stunned to hear Akram's explanation. Somehow the man was able to come to such a conclusion, as if the man was not confident....

In Elana's eyes, Akram always appears as a strong and confident dominant figure, grinding down anyone who is weak mercilessly, and also vile. He did not expect to get a chance to see the figure of Akram like this, the figure of Akram who is not sure...and showed her the fragility that Elana thought she would never have in him.

Is it really all because of him? Because Akram is still not sure how Elana feels about him?

Elana immediately reverberates Xavier's words before leaving, that she must suppress her sense of inferiority, that she must be sure that she deserves to be loved by Akram, and that Akram really loves her.

Now at this moment, before his eyes, he was as if given an answer to his doubts all along. The figure of Akram who looked clouded just because he thought Elana hated and disgusted him...

Ah, Elana should be able to be honest and stop the torment against Akram.

"I'm not disgusted and hate you," stammeredly, Elana gathered her courage to confess, "I. I'm just jealous...."

Akram looked up for a moment, his eyes widened by the twinkle of real shock.

"Jealous?" reiterate can't believe it.

Elana's red cheeks went out, while she struggled to make a sentence that was representative of her feelings. Right now, Elana decided to be honest with her heart. He resigned, will be Akram's next response.

"I. actually.. I. I was always nauseous and vomiting.Every imagine.the scene when Maya gets drunk and throws herself into your arms.." she said softly, almost inaudible while bowing his head, not daring to stare directly at Akram's eyes.

Silence stretched between them. Akram himself seemed frozen, with an expression of real shock that almost rinsed his breath until his chest felt tight.

Meanwhile, when there was no sound, movement, or any response from Akram, Elana finally raised her head and looked at Akram with fear.

"You.. You're not laughing at me, are you?" tanyanya.

Akram gasped, his originally empty eyes instantly turning back towards Elana, staring intently as if to enter and infiltrate into the depths of Elana's soul.

"You...you're jealous of me when you see me with another woman?" then it seemed like I couldn't believe it. Meanwhile, his own eyes lit up by the demands of an answer filled with impatience.

Are they both the same? Not sure about each other's feelings?

Akram had confessed his feelings firmly up to that point, and the man consistently showed that his love was firm and unchangeable. While Elana herself. because of her inferiority.

Until when will Elana vacillate the clarity of their relationship and torture herself as well as Akram?

"I don't know that day at the restaurant, when I saw you with Maya - I didn't know she was Maya at the time - I assumed she was one of the women you were once a lover of," Elana tried to get rid of the shadow of that bragging when she said. He had already changed into clean clothes by now and his stomach was even still empty after spewing out all of its contents earlier. Don't let him vomit again. "Then when the woman threw herself into your arms. My stomach immediately roiled violently and I vomited. As well as the night when I woke up in the hospital, when I saw you, I immediately remembered the scene and became nauseous again," Elana sighed after saying a quick succession of words. His cheeks were flushed again in shame. "And so, when you mentioned that the woman was Maya, I remembered again and became nauseous again...."

Elana's voice stopped when Akram suddenly moved from his seat and climbed into the bed, the man was very close to Elana, his arms were moving around Elana's body, Elana's body, wrapped her in a strong embrace until Elana's face stuck to her chest. Akram himself buried his face in Elana's hair, his lips dipping there before then speaking with great feeling.

"I'm sorry," he said.

Back Elana frowned, because once again, Akram's reaction was completely unexpected. She tried to raise her head, but Akram's embrace was too strong that Elana could only stick her cheeks tightly against the man's chest.

"Why should you apologize?" ask Elana later.

Akram loosened his arms a little, his hands cupped Elana's cheeks, turned the woman's face towards him, then kissed her lips so gently. If previously Akram always tucked burning desire in his lips, this time the kiss felt different. A gentle kiss filled with affection that seemed to overflow from the man's soul.

"I'm sorry. Since it was me who let a woman take advantage and forced physical contact on my body, you had to experience all this and suffer so much" Akram whispered as he moved his kiss to Elana's cheek. "You have to suffer from nausea, vomiting, loss of nutrition to receive an infusion and hospitalization" Akram's eyes glowed with determination as the man continued. "I promise that I will never allow myself to be approached and touched by another woman from now on, and if any woman dares to be cunning and imposes physical contact on me, I will instantly wipe it off the face of the earth" Akram said in a serious tone.

Elana chuckled, unable to help her laughter hearing Akram's words. In the past he might run away when he heard Akram speak cruel without mercy like that. But now different, Elana knows that as cruel as Akram is, she can try to soften her heart and usually always succeeds.

"Don't be too extreme Akram" Elana now dared to put on a smile towards the man. "I don't know why I'm jealous of that..."

"Maybe it's because you started learning to love me and want to have me, want to monopilize myself for you," Akram grabbed Elana's finger and kissed her. "Don't burden your mind, Elana. I am yours and will always be faithful to you,"

Elana's heart was touched by Akram's words. If you look back at the beginning of their meeting, it is not at all suspected that the two of them could reach this point..The point where they could sit hugging each other tightly, without any coercion, without any hostility, was that one expressed jealousy while the other convinced him with a statement of ownership and a pledge of allegiance.

Akram played Elana's fingers, and her tone turned dangerous as she spoke later.

"Regarding this Maya, I felt that if she had started to interfere, her excessive obsession woke up alarms of danger in my mind. Moreover, he has clearly been stirring the flames of hostility to you, for some reason," Akram's tone of voice darkened as he reconnected. "Do you..want me to just eliminate it so as not to bother anymore?"

"Acram!" Elana exclaimed as she slightly shook her hand which was within Akram's grasp. Although he knew that Akram's cruelty could be softened, but hearing Akram say that he would get rid of others was like getting rid of flies, it still felt terrible for him. "Don't do that, maybe Maya doesn't like me because she thinks I'm less competent to get my current position. He must have thought I was using other means to achieve my position, especially he is an academic who is very clever and proficient in his field, of course he scoffs at me because I seem to jump the ranks when my ability is not how much," Elana lowered her head, her voice hesitated. "And it's not all Maya's fault, it's all my fault, I should have learned until I was better so that I could be more competent and decent, before accepting Xavier's offer to be her assistant."

"Why are you preoccupied with thoughts that make you feel inferior again?" Akram leaned Elana's head towards her, his eyes shining sharply. "All you have to put in your mind is one, that you are the future wife of Akram Night, the owner of the Night Corporation. So, let alone making you Xavier's assistant, I can even name the company on your behalf and make you the owner of the company legally without anyone - including that arrogant and stupid Maya - being able to oppose it,"

"I don't want to be the owner of your company" Elana quickly replied with real horror on her face.

Akram himself chuckled at Elana's expression, he couldn't help but give Elana a glance before then expressing his ultimatum.

"That can't be changed, Elana. After we get married, I'll rename the rights to half the Night Corporation's ownership in your name as a wedding gift" Akram's eyes narrowed as the man stared fixedly at Elana. "And about the wedding.. Have you thought about the answer to my proposal this morning?"
