The Essence Of The Darkness
Episode 20: Hard-headed Woman

"You are mine and I am yours. And no one in the world can alter that."

If Akram has nothing to use to threaten Elana, the woman will continue to try to defy her, and not only that, Akram fears if she continues to push Elana to her limits, she would not hesitate to hurt herself. The woman had already attempted suicide once and Akram had used all kinds of gruesome verbal threats to scare Elana away from trying a second time.

But who knows what might happen in the future? It could be because she still has not managed to subdue Elana's heart, the stubborn woman decided to hurt herself again.

What happens if she is not there when Elana is desperate and she does not succeed in preventing Elana from doing her thing?

She would lose Elana.

The thought of it all made Akram's heart feel squeezed, overwhelmed by a foreign feeling that he did not like.

Having a position as a powerful leader makes him have many enemies who are ready to stab from behind if he is off guard. And like the method he applied to others, Akram knew that the fear of losing something was a weakness. That's why Akram trained himself from the beginning to fortify his soul so as not to soften.

There is never an object that is considered too valuable for him, nor is there a single person who feels valuable enough to make him feel afraid of loss. That's why the threat of holding a valuable person hostage to him is unlikely to pay off.

His enemies are always confused because Akram never hesitates to sacrifice anyone close to him to achieve his goals. Once upon a time, it happened when his enemy kidnapped and held hostage one of Akram's lovers - whom they thought Akram loved the most - and tried to pressure Akram to obey their will. Unfortunately, their goal was not achieved, Akram just breezed by without caring and instead allowed them to do what they wanted to do to the woman.

But this time it's different. I don't want to lose Elana. He could not imagine that this woman did not exist in this world. She could not imagine Elana being in a place that was beyond her reach.

Maybe it was all just because his passion was still so overflowing on the woman. Akram deduced himself in heart while his forehead wrinkled deeply. Akram has never felt such a passion for a woman, which is why he still needs Elana by his side, so that Akram can explore his new sensual experience with Elana as much as possible.

However, for now Akram knows that he must keep his enemies from realizing how important Elana is to him. Otherwise, Elana would be in a dangerous position at all times as they would always be eyeing Elana as the ultimate weapon to suppress Akram.

"Not really," Nathan took a moment to watch over Akram's face which seemed to be thinking hard.before finally answering Akram's previous question in a mysterious tone, saying,

Hearing Nathan's reply, Akram immediately raised his gaze with interest.

"What do you mean?" tanyanya is impatient.

"Reverse the last page of Elios' report," Nathan grinned, as if impatiently throwing a surprise bomb at Akram.

Infuriated and impatient, Akram turned over the last sheet of the report file, and his body stiffened with anticipation as he read and understood its contents.

Elana's real mother gave birth to a son ten years ago, and because the child was a kara after her mother died, the child was then placed in an orphanage run by the state.

"Elios has secured the boy, he is already under your control. " Nathan said quickly to draw Akram's attention, "And I've done a DNA test to find out the DNA match between Elana and the boy... You might want to see the results yourself?" Nathan took out the so-called important thing from his bag and handed it to Akram.

Akram's eyes immediately swept the file of the DNA test report in his hands thoroughly, and then, his gloomy expression lifted, changing with a wide grin full of satisfaction.

The boy was clearly blood related to Elana. The irrefutable evidence from this DNA test is also useful as supporting the final conclusion of all the data Elios collected about Elana's biological mother. With this irrefutable evidence, the woman was definitely Elana's biological mother.

Goody. Now he has a younger brother Elana as his hidden weapon. Akram has grasped the weakness of Elana and the woman now will not be able to escape from it.

"Are you going to tell Elana about this?" Nathan asked quickly, full of curiosity.

Akram shook his head, his expression looked cruel and his eyes shone coldly.

"No. I will use this weapon at the right time, but not now" he replied straightforwardly. Suddenly as if remembering something, Akram immediately questioned something else that was also related to Nathan's presence in this place.

"Are you going to give Elana regular contraceptive injections?" tanyanya.

Nathan shook his head.

"No. I forgot to tell you yesterday, hormone injections to regulate the mechanism of the reproductive organs of Elana are not given once a month, but once every three months. You certainly know how contraception works where the hormone injected into Elana will affect the reproductive organs and suppress the ovulation process so that no egg is fertilized."

Nathan suddenly felt the need to give a long explanation to Akram, "The side effects of hormones can be diverse, but the most frequent effect is to suppress the menstrual period of women, this hormone also thins the uterine wall, the, though you know that the uterus thickens the uterine wall for a tender nest for a fertilized egg. When there is no fertilization, then the uterine wall is shed and discarded in a certain period of time so that the process of menstruation occurs. In the case of Elana whose uterine wall is thinned due to the effect of the contraceptive hormone, then nothing should be shed so that the menstrual process does not occur, or if it occurs, only similar patches are mild..."

Nathan suddenly blinked his eyes meaningfully at Akram. "You'd be happy, wouldn't you, if your woman didn't have a disorder once a month that would have forced you to resist the urge? I know you can always choose another woman who is definitely willing to be for you, but given your great passion for Elana..."

Akram suddenly moved his hand, still with an expressionless face, making Nathan stop his words.

"Is it dangerous?" ask Akram with a serious look.

"What's dangerous?" Nathan asked in confusion with Akram's short question.

Akram cleared his throat for a moment, as if uncomfortable discussing this with Nathan.

The question made Nathan's eyes widen as if in disbelief.

"You never cared about the contraceptive side effects of your previous partners, Akram. To you, knowing they're clean and don't have a sexually transmitted disease and then making sure that they won't contain your seeds is enough for you, why do you care about this one now?"

"Jawab my question, Nathan." Akram growled, his expression turning dark and impatient.

And Nathan knew that expression, Akram had almost reached the limit of his patience. And if he wants to survive, he must give the answer that Akram wants.

"The use of hormonal contraceptives does have a variety of mild side effects in women, but this type of contraception is actually not dangerous, it can actually provide benefits, such as causing ovulation distress so that the risk of ovarian cancer is greatly reduced, cervical sap also thickens, so not only can prevent sperm from entering but can also kill disease germs so that the possibility of pelvic infection is greatly decreased, and also the thinning of the mucous membrane will make users of this contraceptive avoid the infection of endometrial cancer." Nathan spoke while watching Akram's expression, and he knew that he was safe once he found a twinkle of relief in the man's eyes.

"But remember, Akram. You should bring Elana to me right after three months of the first injection, "pleased at having dimmed the rays of relief in Akram's eyes, she said, Nathan immediately pulled out a small pink-coated book and placed it on Akram's front desk. "This is Elana's contraceptive control book, I've written the date of her first injection and also filled in the schedule for her next arrival. Don't miss this schedule, Akram, or you'll get a little fetus with your strong genetic makeup that'll inhabit Elana's womb for nine months before she's ready to be born."

Akram gritted his teeth, then looked at Nathan intently, unwilling to respond to Nathan's lure towards him.

"The helicopter's waiting for you on the tarmac, I think you'd better get back downtown before it's too late and the storm's approaching."

Nathan widened his eyes at Akram's words.

"You kicked me out? After all the danger I was in by riding a helicopter in the high winds that blew up until the helicopter whirred around and made my heart stop beating a few times? I came here to deliver files from Elios, but that's not really my main job. Elios sent me here to perform routine check-up procedures after you've had a storm in the rain that's been drenching your body for hours. But I'll bet you won't let you check on you, will you?"

Akram shook his thin head. His expression did not even change after receiving Nathan's successive protests against him.

"I don't need to be checked and you should be happy that I paid you in full even if you didn't work. So now, get out of here, "get away cold and heartless.

Nathan grumbled in a slow, sniffling voice as he tidied up his briefcase, but he stepped also to the door, prepare to leave before stopping and turning back towards Akram to make his thoughts.

"I wonder, instead of you using a lot of resources to search for Elana's remaining family, why don't you just give the baby in Elana's stomach on purpose? The baby will certainly be able to make Elana obey you, because the bond between mother and child is certainly stronger than the bond of a brother with a sister he never met and never realized his presence in his lifetime." after saying his opinion, Nathan stepped out of the room and closed the door behind him without bothering to wait for Akram's response to his sentence.

When Akram stepped into the library room, he saw Elana lying on her back on the sofa by the largest window in the room. The woman's head was drowned in the arm of the sofa while her eyes were tightly closed in her deep sleep.

Akram doesn't even have to ask where Elana is because he knows from the surveillance cctv that this woman usually spends most of her time in this library. And her guess turned out to be correct, Elana was sleeping without any self-defense here.

Akram stared at the innocent face of Elana who was sound asleep and an ironic smile appeared on her lips. Luckily Elana is a woman who likes to read so she has no trouble filling her time alone in this villa if Akram is not around. Other women may be busy whining for company because there is no interesting entertainment here and a few moments later they will go crazy because they are bored.

Akram's steps stopped when his knees touched the sofa where Elana was lying. His eyes fell on the open book that Elana seemed to be reading before she fell asleep. His forehead creased as a white sheet of paper filled with hand-scribbles tucked behind the book sheet.

Akram sat on the sofa, on the side that Elana was not sleeping on, then pulled the white sheet of paper curiously. Her lips thinned as her eyes read and digested the scribbles of handwriting that Elana seemed to have carefully made.

It was a record of the arrival schedule of the supply ship and also the freight transport helicopters that came periodically to this island. Elana records neatly the days and hours of the arrival and departure of the two modes of transportation. He also noted who were the people who could approach the ship as well as the helicopter, procedures and length of time to lower the inventory in the villa warehouse and how the situation of the gate when access is being opened to in and out of goods and supplies.

This woman still seems unwilling to give up in her attempt to escape and most likely Akram has to use her younger brother Elana to threaten this woman sooner than he should.

Akram slipped the paper back into place, then took the book from Elana's handle, closed it and placed it on the floor. His eyes stared intently at Elana before his fingers moved without being held back to trace the side of Elana's face, wiping the fragile surface of the skin with his powerful fingertips.

Akram bent his face right in front of Elana before then gently patting the side of the woman's face, cupping her with his big hand

"Wake up, petite cat. Now is not the time for you to go to sleep" he whispered in a raucous voice restraining his passion.

Akram's powerful voice was apparently able to reach the deepest side of Elana's deep dream. He blinked and opened his eyes while consciousness slowly moved flooding into his mind.

And when Elana's eyes opened, she immediately looked at him with sharp eyes that looked at him deeply. Akram's face was so close to her that Elana opened her mouth to call for protest, but her open mouth was immediately silenced by Akram's kiss.

Elana who was not ready because she was ambushed when she woke up could not do anything when Akram moved to overlay her on the sofa, her left hand tried to push Akram's chest in vain while her right hand tried to get rid of Akram's hand which moved down the side of her thigh and made her dress lift up.

"Acclusive..." Elana hates when she has to voice Akram's name, but right now she has no choice. "Ti.. no...don't..this is in the library, anyone...."

"No one would dare to come in here if I were here with you, Elana. Besides, if you're wondering, I turned off the surveillance cameras in this room and locked the door" Akram said.
