The Wife Who Escaped
Do Not Pass the Boundary

Reynand was wearing a well-designed suit, standing in the hotel banquet hall.

Many people gathered there to celebrate the anniversary of SF Group. SF Group employees and officials, as well as celebrities from the political and business world were also seen.

Reynand stood to one side with a stern expression, as if she was reluctant to attend.

He did not make eye contact with anyone, and even if someone spoke to him, he only greeted briefly and turned around. His expression showed that his mind was somewhere else.

Just then, Reynand heard a voice calling out his name. Ameera is seen calling Reynand's name and gesturing from a distance away.

Reynand sighed inwardly and went to his side. Ameera was wearing an elegant dress.

"Reynand Do you remember Clarissa?" Ameera said while pointing at the person right next to her.

The woman standing beside him was a well-dressed young lady. She is the eldest daughter of a fast-growing IT group.

When Reynand did not respond, Ameera immediately spoke again.

“I saw you a few times when you were young, but it's been a long time. I don't think I remember. I heard that you graduated from the same university as Reynand. I heard when you graduated straight came to Indonesia.“

Ameera tries to create a friendly atmosphere by finding a meeting point with Reynand. But Reynand's expression was still cold.

"There's a lot of university graduates here. We're not even one class, so how can I remember everything?"

"Even if you don't remember, aren't you happy? I was so amazed to see Clarissa, she was such a beautiful woman. Ha Ha." - Ha."

Ameera tried to control the atmosphere until the end, but Reynand turned around without looking at the other woman. And, as if frustrated, he immediately walked towards the terrace.

****

Reynand went out onto the terrace and looked up at the sky. Since the banquet hall is located on the top floor of the hotel, the night view of the illuminated city is clearly visible from the terrace.

As soon as Reynand came out, he looked for matches and cigarettes. He felt a tight despair in his chest would not be resolved just by breathing fresh air.

'Reynand Do you remember Clarissa??'

It was clear that Ameera's intentions were clear when she introduced her to a married-age woman who was the son of a successful company. It's obvious that it's disgusting.

How long has it been since Kirana disappeared?

Reynand put out a cigarette and lit a match.

Reynand quit smoking when she married Kirana, but she started smoking again about a month ago.

The cloudy smoke spread in the air. Reynand took a long breath.

I sighed and looked at the center of the city seen from the terrace. Colorful lights surround the city. It was a familiar sight. I wondered where I saw her, and it turned out that this is where I spent my first night with Kirana.

That night, Kirana stood up with a nervous face. The face that barely sat beside me, the face that turned crimson due to the slightest movement, the face that was disheveled due to the heat… … … … .It just felt like it happened last night.

Kirana was so stark, but her family seemed to have forgotten her. Wherever she went or what she did, Kirana kept appearing in her eyes.But no one asked about her.

It's been three months since Kirana disappeared. So far we know Kirana took the train from Austria to Germany, but other than that we have not found any other information.

My heart sank like burnt cigarette leaves.

At that moment, Reynand sensed the presence of someone behind him. The sound of high heels is heard. And the scented perfume that stings in the wind. The one who entered the terrace where Reynand was alone was Arin.

“It's been a long time since I last saw you.” Said Arin sitting next to Reynand.

Reynand put her cigarette in the ashtray and lowered her head briefly in response to the greeting. Arin looked at the night scene for a moment then asked faintly.

“When will Kirana be back?”

"......"

“Isn't it too long to travel?”

Right now, everyone except Ameera, the Chairman, and Rachelle only knew that Kirana was still traveling. Of course, some doubted Kirana's sudden journey, and many stories exchanged between them. Among them, the most common is the rumor that the two are separated and planning a divorce.

"He'll be right back." Reynand replied firmly

Despite her strong tone, Arin read the gloom in her eyes and smiled inwardly.

Arin's eyes scanned Reynand's face. The slender face illuminated by the full moon is beautiful. The broad shoulders and dignified figure also attracted attention, and the sturdy physique hidden behind the suit also felt vague.

Arin's eyes turned black as she looked at him. The more he looked at it, the more greedy he became. He was someone he could have had if not for his appearance.And now that there was no show, the seat next to him was almost empty.

“I've been alone for a long time, so my heart must be lonely.” Said Arin while leaning slightly towards Reynand.

"......"

“I know what it's like to be left alone. I thought it would be nice to have someone by your side to cheer you up every time it happened."

She gave Reynand a passionate yet charming look as if she understood her feelings. And he gave her a bewitching look. He said it with his attitude.

“Rather than drowning loneliness alone..”.

His hand gently swept across the terrace fence reaching Reynand's fingertips. Then I gently placed her hand on Reynand's hand.

“Did not sharing with someone will provide support and strength together?”

Reynand's cold gaze focused on that hand.

"What's this?"

Arin pulled out her hand hearing that cold voice.

"Ah... Sorry." He said with a sad expression.

"You look so lonely, so I'd like to try to cheer you up…"

“When did I ask you to comfort me?”

“I'm your husband's younger brother.”

"......"

“No matter how hard a dog bites you, you must not cross the line.”

He looked at Arin harshly and continued to speak.

“Do not touch me again.”

"......"

“Because I feel disgusted.”

Then Reynand turned around and walked towards the porch door.

Arin's face flushed from being left alone. His clenched hands trembled in shame and humiliation.

Reynand left the banquet hall. Then someone came right after.

"Directors. Where are you going?"

The one who followed him was Julia.

Reynand walked forward. He said as he walked towards the elevator.

“I'm so tired that I can't stay.”

Julia walked into the elevator with him and spoke with an agitated expression.

"Directors. This is an event commemorating the establishment of the Company. Can't you stay any longer..."

"This place is crowded with people, there is no room to step, so no one will know if one of the people disappeared”

"The chief is still inside, and many eyes are watching. Given the company's image and the Director's position, I think it would be best if you stayed here until the Chairman left."

Reynand said nothing with a dark look. The image and position of the company is clearly important. Until Kirana is gone, it is something she prioritizes more than anything else in her life.

I wonder if all of that is of any use now. Company Even if I increase my image and establish myself, I wonder what is left. Even if I reach the highest position in the company and are respected by everyone, only a dark silence will wait for me when I get home. I wondered if life was really worth it, and I was skeptical.

Before he knew it, the elevator had stopped on the first floor. Reynand with a tired expression, came out and said.

“I'll go now, and tell all secretaries to go home too.”

"......"

"See you tomorrow."

Reynand walks out, leaving Julia. Julia looked at Reynand's back with a sad face.

Although Reynand had changed, he had changed a lot. His old self, where he risked everything for the sake of the company and was filled with ambition, was nowhere to be seen, and he just looked out the window dozens of times a day and sighed.

Although his work skills were still perfect, his mind seemed to be filled with thoughts other than company every day.

Julia seemed to know who the person who made her drown in his thoughts every day.

When she saw Reynand who had left everything and returned after receiving a phone call saying that Kirana had disappeared, she felt something was amiss from then on.

From that moment on, anxiety and guilt always blossomed in his heart. But there's too much to tell the truth.

He will definitely not forgive himself. However, it was painful to see Reynand destroyed.

"......"

Julia looked at Reynand as she walked away, then followed her with a determined expression on her face. He quickly approached her.

Reynand was about to get into the car parked in front of the lobby.

"Sir Director."

Reynand turned to Julia's call.

“Honored director….There's something I want to tell you." Julia said while panting.

"What's that?"

"Actually...."

When Julia tried to speak, no words came out. As he looked at the cold gaze in Reynand's eyes, he couldn't even open his mouth. He bit his dry lips and finally opened his mouth.

“Actually....Lady Kirana....”.

Rrrrr---Rrrr-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r------

Hearing a phone call. Reynand turned her gaze from Julia to the Phone. And as soon as he saw the caller's name on the screen, Reynand immediately turned away from Julia and answered the phone.

"Hello."

[Hello Director. It's my.]

He was the one who was asked to find Kirana. His voice sounded excited. A feeling of urgency surfaced on Reynand's face as she realized that the atmosphere was very different. He said in haste.

"What's been going on?"

[Finding it.]

Hearing that one word, Reynand suddenly stopped. The hand holding the phone shook, and his heart seemed to be about to jump out.

[I found out where Mrs Kirana is.]
