The Married By Challenge
The Part 105

Time goes on, and William and Devano struggle to find their little girl. William must admit, his sister was smart and reckless. Sarah must have made sure her hiding place they couldn't reach, but where? Out of town? Or even abroad?

And it's been three weeks, William doesn't know where else to look. Although William was a little calm because his Mama's condition gradually improved, Venita always convinced herself and others that Sarah must be fine and would definitely go home soon. William understood, his mother did so to suppress his concern for his daughter, so he continued to convince himself that Sarah was fine.

"Fe.." exclaimed William who saw Freya running into the house. William frowned when he saw the look of fear on Freya's face even his wife was sweating as if she had just run away from the great danger "What's wrong, dear?" asked William gently while hugging Freya.

"So that's it.." Freya's breath stinged making Freya have trouble speaking.

"Sshhhtt, calm down. You're home, safe. Hm.." William embraces Freya towards their room. Arriving in their room, William gives Freya a bottle of water so that his wife is calmer. Freya quickly gulped down the water.

"Are you better?" william asked softly and Freya nodded "Now the story is the same with me, what is it? Did anyone hurt you?" ask William. Freya seemed hesitant to speak, but she was distressed and frightened. It made William very worried about his wife "Fe, you can tell me anything. I'm your husband, honey. If you have a problem, I want to be the first to know. If anyone bothers you, I want to be the first to protect you" said William sincerely who immediately warmed Freya's heart.

He sipped the water once more, then he took a breath and looked at William.

"I'm currently holding a rape case, Will" Freya said slowly.

"Still the case of the high school boy who raped his friend? What's his name, Evy?"

"Yes, Evelyn." Freya replied.

"Certain why? Hasn't her case been almost three weeks? Did you get any new evidence?" ask William.

"Not just evidence, we've got the perpetrator" Freya replied and her face looked tense.

"Keep up, honey?" ask William again because he saw a different style of Freya.

"Him actors... The headmaster's own son and his sports teacher" replied Freya who immediately made William goosebumps in horror.

"Oh my God, how could it be.." murmured William disbelieving "They should be punished with such a heavy punishment, Fe" furious William. He never thought, how a teacher can do such a heinous thing to his students.

"I want the same thing, Will. Even I want to burn them his taste, but..."

"But why?" ask William in a low voice. While Freya immediately lowered her head and cried, even her body trembled.

"I'm afraid, Will.." - Ogre Freya and William immediately embraced Freya and calm her, William guessed Freya must be threatened "They want me to withdraw from this case and if you do, they... They said they'd make me fall like Evelyn. It might even be worse." said Freya hiccupping.

William's heart felt hot hearing that, his blood boiling hearing menacing wife.

" Sshhhtt, don't be afraid, Fe. I promise to protect you, dear "say William then kissed Freya's head a few times.

"Then what if they hurt you, honey?" ask William to worry. Freya broke her embrace, she wiped her tears and tried to stop her crying.

"If they can hurt me, it's still that, Will" Freya said "But if I don't punish them, it's certain that other girls will be the same fate as Evelyn"

"Yes, you're right" William said. He stroked Freya's cheek gently "Do whatever you think is right, I'll support you, honey. And from tomorrow, I'll hire a driver who will also be your bodyguard"

"Thank you, Will. If you always support me, I will definitely dare to face anything"

William smiled faintly at his wife's remark, he kissed her forehead fondly "I want to be your shield, Fe. Because I love you so much"

...... ...

Mia is right to take care of Devano's office, while Devano is always busy with Sarah's search. He works, but his work is never maximal.

There were so many meetings that Mia had to cancel, even Devano's client client had been neglected. Various jobs are piled up and unkempt.

Devano himself still does not want to give up and will not give up on finding Sarah. He searched various places, but Sarah left no trace. He disappeared as if in the swallow of the earth, many times Devano traced the last place Sarah was seen, which is around the Villa Mama Juan, but they lost track. They didn't find any leads.

Devano has been feeling very frustrated, not just his company that is not managed. Even himself was very unkempt, whether when he took a bath and did not know when he ate and slept.

"I'm sure Lady Sarah is fine, sir. She's a strong and brave girl" said Dominic, who is currently driving, now Dominic doesn't let Devano drive himself anymore because three days ago Devano lost his focus while driving and he had an accident.

But thank God he was fine and only suffered minor injuries.

"I know.." jawan Devano looked out there, Devano remembered the time he was with Sarah. And yes, Sarah's a strong and brave girl. Sarah won't let anyone hurt her, Sarah will always protect herself. Sarah's gonna be okay, sure. That's what Devano always tries to instill in his mind, hoping he's a little calm.

Both of Devano's eyes look very soft and the dark circles are very clear under his eyes because Devano really lacks sleep. His body also looks thinner because he really does not pay attention to his diet, while now Devano often smokes. If he used to spend a pack of cigarettes in two days, now he spends two packs of cigarettes in a day.

Devano ignored Dominic, Aldo and Bi Eni's warnings about his health. Devano really has lost the direction of purpose in his life.

Without Sarah, Devano is lost within himself.
