Trapped in Brother Love
TCS 33'S

Esme returned to her room. He slammed his belongings in frustration. Esme's anger immediately culminated when she heard that 70% of Raina's property had been passed down to Mike. 

“Damn you Mike!” mumbled Esme while clenching both of her hands.

Esme runs amok in her room when she finds out Mike is more powerful than the Praja family's fortune. All this time he has been struggling to take Haris' heart so that he can master the family's wealth, but all his plans become messy because of Mike.

“Akhh!! What else do I have to do to master the wealth of the Praja family?” ask Esme in the heart. 

Esme paused for a moment trying to calm herself down, then began to think of ways to take over Mike's power in this house. He had gone too far to get what he wanted, so he did not want to retreat. 

“If Haris alone I can conquer, then Mike also can be easily conquered,” said Esme.

He then took his phone, initially Esme felt doubtful but in the end he began to move his fingers looking for someone's contact. He is seen contacting someone and telling them all the information he knows about the Praja family. 

Tut's.. Tut's..Tut's..

“Halo,” heard the voice of a man from inside the phone.

“Halo, there is bad news,” Esme said in a serious tone.

“What do you mean?” said the man, as soon as his voice turned serious.

“Have you heard the latest news about the Praja family legacy?” ask Esme to make sure.

“Latest news about the heritage of the Praja family? No. I didn't hear anything about it,” said the man.

“At first Mike told me that 70% of the property of the Praja family was inherited on behalf of Mike,” Esme said.

“What?” the man shouted in surprise.

The person inside the phone snorted in annoyance when he heard the information conveyed by Esme. He hates Mike and Haris. For him, if the wealth of the Praja family has fallen into Mike's hands, then it will be even harder to bring him down. 

“Akh!! Goddamnit! Why just know now,” said the man.

“I'm also surprised, if Mike doesn't say so I'll never know if the legacy has already fallen into his hands.” Esme said.

“Then has Haris also known since the beginning?” ask the man to investigate.

“Haris only found out this morning because it turns out that the late Raina never mentioned Haris name in his will,” Esme said.

“So what should we do after this?” asked Esme who was dead-end could find no other way.

The man who was talking to Esme on the phone was silent for a moment. Across the phone the man was tapping his desk with his fingers, a sign he was thinking. Suddenly I heard a throbbing sound.

“Ehm, all right listen to me. You keep trying to get close to Haris, lest he be suspicious of you. About Mike, let me take care of it later,” said the man.

“Don't worry, you'll stay safe in that house. Just do your job until I give you another command,” said the man.

“Can I hold your sayings?” ask Esme.

“Yes, you can hold my word. Just do my command,” said the man.

“Alright, I will do as you command,” Esme said then hang up.

In the morning without saying goodbye to the people in his house including Alice, Mike decided to go out of town to make a trip to work. This was followed by Alice who then decided to go stay at the hotel for the next few days. Due to the chaos that occurred last night at home, Alice chose to go for a moment from home to calm herself by staying at a hotel.

Even today Alice decided not to go to the office. Alice's thoughts grew chaotic when Mike did not speak at all and sent her any message since then.

Alice drives her car out of the house and searches for hotels around the city. His car went through the streets of the city in the morning. Alice was in a crowded place, but she felt her heart was quiet without Mike by her side.

Moments later Alice checked in and laid her body on the bed. Alice grabs her phone from the bag and tries to contact Mike. However, Mike's phone is apparently dead so Alice can't reach him.

“Actually where did you go Mike?” alice muttered increasingly worriedly.

Alice looked out the window as Alice's fear grew, and she began to think that everything was over, including her relationship with Mike.

‘Will it all end here? But really I'm not ready to lose you” said Alice, ruffling her hair in frustration.

The sound of a cell phone ringing instantly resuscitated Alice from her daydream. At first he thought if it was Mike, apparently when he glanced at the screen of his phone it was Esme. Alice was still upset by Esme's actions. Because of his actions, Mike became angry with him. Alice ignored a phone call from her mother.

The next day Alice decided to leave for the office with mixed feelings. When he got to the office, he was surprised because he did not see Mike. He wondered where Mike was actually going. 

“Where are you really,” murmured Alice as she circulated her gaze throughout the room.

As Alice was entering the upper floors of her study, suddenly everyone looked at her with a strange look. Some of them whispered to each other.

“There is? Why are they looking at me with such a look?” murmured Alice astonished.

“If I were him, I wouldn't dare show my face in this office,” said one of the employees.

“He is already shameless, just like his mother who ***** that,” other timpal.

It turns out that rumors about him and Esme living in Mike's house have spread in the office. Now everyone in the office was looking at Alice cynically. Alice who was already indifferent to it all just ignored the scorn of some people who insinuated her as the daughter of a woman ******.

“Stop looking at me with that look,” Alice told one of the employees.

Alice then went into her study and snorted in annoyance. Really he felt more and more here his days became chaotic, whether it was at home or in the office. And now Alice realizes that people have hated her, because of her mother's behavior. 

“If you were here Mike, if you knew what I was feeling right now,” Alice murmured.

No tears wet Alice's eyes, slowly the tears spilled down her cheeks. He couldn't hold all this alone.
