The Wife Who Escaped
Persuasion

SF Group headquarters .

At the secretary's desk, the secretaries who were having lunch gathered. They were all Reynand's secretaries. Among them, the newly recruited Secretary spoke first.

"Aren't you so afraid of the Director lately?”

The other secretary nodded as if they agreed with the statement.

“I used to be cold, but it's so cold now that I can't talk about it. I feel Colds all over my body.”

“One stop. That's why I can't say a word in front of Director.”

"He looks like a very angry man."

“I don't know what caused him so angry.”

A secretary who listened to them intervened.

“I think it's a little different.”

He was Reynand's longest-serving secretary.

Remembering Reynand whom he had seen recently. She said.

“When I met the Director lately, he seemed unmotivated. He still works like a workaholic... When I look into her eyes, she looks empty. Sometimes he feels confused"

"......"

“Look at the color of his face, once the person who worked all night did not change the look on his face at all, but now this is always moody."

After hearing what he said, the secretary said what he said was true. He nodded his head.

"Did something happen to the director? Maybe because of the chairman?Looks like the way the chairman looks at the Director. different end of this end “

"That's right. I thought our Director would win, but looking at the atmosphere lately, I don't know what's going to happen."

"The point is, it's clear something's going on with the Director. I hope it's not a big deal.…"

There was someone quietly listening to their conversation. She was Julia, who was sitting at the secretary's desk and looking through the documents.

Julia listened to their conversation and thought hard. One of the secretaries looked towards the passageway and immediately straightened his posture. The remaining secretaries immediately headed to their respective positions and stood upright. Everyone looked towards the hallway with a nervous face.

The one who came here unannounced was Ameera. The secretaries bowed their heads to Ameera as she approached her.

"Welcome, Madam."

“Reynand is inside?”

"Yes. The director is in the office now. Has the Madam contacted the Director?"

Ameera stared intently at the secretary who was blurting out those words.

“Do I need to contact in advance to meet my son?”

"······ sorry."

“No one is allowed into the office.”

Ameera looked at him coldly and walked into the office, leaving them behind.

****

Ameera roughly opened the office door. Inside the office, there was Reynand who was sitting at the desk while looking at the documents. When Reynand saw Ameera's appearance, she simply looked at him and then turned her attention back to the documents.

Ameera approached Reynand who was sitting motionless.

“How long will you be like this?”

"......"

“Do you think your grandfather will just wait for you to do this?"

Ameera looked like she was getting angry. It's been a month since Kirana disappeared. However, instead of ending his relationship with Kirana, Reynand instead tries to find her.

The chairman said he would be aware as time went on. It seems that the family is slowly reaching the limit of his patience.

At the meeting, Ameera gave a stern rebuke to Reynand. Even so, Reynand did not give up and insisted on finding Kirana.

As Ameera sees her relationship with the Chairman getting strained, she feels frustrated and angry to the point of going crazy.

"You know how scary it is when your brother gets angry? You never know when something will happen."

"......"

"Everyone feels a rift between you and your grandfather at this time. Randy thinks that this is their chance. Now is not the time for you to just focus on finding Kirana!"

"......"

“It's not too late, so tell your grandfather that you're sorry and stop playing.”

"out. I'm working." Reynand said without glancing a single glance at Ameera.

Ameera's eyes were worried at the cold gaze. He said while looking at her with sad eyes.

“When will you be aware?”

For Ameera, Reynand is smarter and more trustworthy than anyone else in the world. He was a son who never left him. He was upset and angry that he was being corrupted by Kirana.

"Kirana is the one who keeps deceiving us. Then in the end he got caught and ran away.” Ameer continued talking while beating her stuffy chest.

"......"

As he raised his voice, water gathered around his eyes.

“What are your shortcomings to rely on such a woman?Why!"

“What is lacking in you?”

“People who come to our house and do everything they are told to do. He is the one who does everything requested for a long time without complaining in the slightest.” Reynand who could not hear, answered a rude tone

"......"

“It makes no sense to throw away such a person because he cannot have children.?"

“Nonsense, why not? If he's not worthy of being a member of our family, of course we should throw him out!” ameera said with cold eyes.

“If he doesn't have the qualifications, it's not just Kirana who was sent off, but you and me as well.”

”......“

"You know better than anyone what our family is like, right?”

Reynand's eyes narrowed.

I know what Mama means .I've seen it since I was young. A world where the useful are harvested and the worthless are discarded. A world driven by careful calculation and profit.

I knew that I had to coldly throw away items that were of no value. But it hasn't worked so far... That didn't work. Even though I knew it in my head, my heart was blocking it. He warned me that if I could never see Kirana again, the pain I felt would get worse.

"out. No matter what Mama says, I won't stop." Reynand said as she straightened her posture.

“Until when you…. …!”

Reynand ignored his words and rang the call bell. The secretary immediately replied.

[Yes, Director.]

“My mom said she's leaving, so please take her away.”

[Good Director.]

Shortly after, the secretary came in.

"Mrs. I'll take you out."

Ameera looked at Rey with her shoulders lifted and reluctantly walked out.

****

"Directors. We've arrived."

Reynand opened her closed eyes. When he looked out the window, he was in front of the house. Reynand felt tired so she closed her eyes, but she could not sleep. At some point, Reynand could not sleep well. There were days when he fell asleep and woke up quickly.

As Reynand opened the backseat door and exited, a medium-sized white car approached the front of the house. Reynand narrowed her eyes towards the light and looked at the car. The person who got out of the car was someone Reynand knew well.

“Precise timing.”

She is none other than Reynand's older sister, Rachelle. She had a different father than Reynand, so when Ameera remarried, she was raised by her maternal grandmother.

Rachelle was in constant contact and met Ameera often, but she didn't see Reynand very often. Especially after Rachelle got married, it was getting harder to meet her.

As Rachelle approached her, Reynand told her Driver to leave. And then he faced her and said.

"Is there a problem?"

“I got a call from Mama.”

"......."

“I heard what happened to you and your wife, and I also heard that you are still busy looking for Kirana.”

When Reynand did not listen to anything she said, Ameera called Rachelle and expressed her frustration.

"If you want to nag me, just go. Even though I'm your sister, I've heard it many times." Reynand said with a tired expression.

And immediately turned towards the house. When he opened the door and went inside.

“Kirana came to my house several times that time.”

Reynand's steps came to a halt when she heard a voice echoing along the way. Rachelle's voice continued behind her.

“He treats and loves our children more than you, his own uncle. Maybe that's why my oldest son really likes and follows Kirana."

Reynand turned her head and looked at Rachelle again. She opened her mouth, remembering Kirana she was past.

“When asked what kind of child he wants to have someday, he said he wants to have a child similar to you.”

"......"

“He wants to have a smart and handsome boy like you.”

Reynand's eyes were a little wobbly. It was a story he had never heard before. He had never had such a conversation with Kirana. No, maybe he didn't give us time to talk about it.

“Kirana I saw...... .. She really likes children, and she really wants to have children. He's a man who wants more than anyone.”

Rachelle's expression as she continued to speak looked sad yet solemn

“When he found out that it was difficult to have children, the one who suffered the most was Kirana.”

"......"

“She must have been devastated and scared, but she couldn't tell anyone. Including you, her husband. In the saddest of times, no one can be put on the back. Kirana lives a life like that, a life where no one can be trusted or relied upon.”
