Crazy woman?
I laughed loudly, making me the center of attention.
"Yes, I am crazy, Reyhan," I replied in a low voice, but full of anger." Then I'll make sure you feel my madness."
Reyhan didn't answer. He just looked at me once more before turning away with Livia.
I clenched my fists, feeling my sharp nails digging into my palms. I promised myself, and the child I had never seen, that I would make Reyhan pay for everything.
I turned around and looked at the man my father had sent. "Let's go home now."
"Yes, miss," he replied.
Upon arriving at the hospital entrance, the man opened the car door and helped me inside.
I looked out the window as the car drove away from the hospital. In the distance, tall buildings loomed, as if challenging me.
Reyhan, you've taken everything from me. But this time, I'll take it all back. And I'll make sure you feel pain far more profound than what you've given me.
This isn't over. This is just the beginning.
When we arrived home, my father and mother greeted me immediately. My mother cried as she hugged me tightly.
"Arlena, how are you, dear?" my mother asked tremblingly.
I smiled weakly. 'I'm okay, Mom."
My father approached, his face showing anger.' Reyhan has gone too far. He didn't just destroy you; he also took your child."
I held my breath, trying to hold back my tears. My baby… I've lost my child.
"Dad…" I whispered." I want to take back everything Reyhan took from me."
"You are my daughter. As the sole heiress of the Nugraha family, you can do anything you want. Next week, I will hold a ceremony to officially name you as the heiress of our family's fortune. Everyone must know, so no one will ever look down on you again." My father spoke firmly yet gently.
Not long after, he called his assistant. "Prepare everything. I want this party to be the biggest one. Arlena will appear as the main heiress. And invite everyone, including Reyhan."
"Reyhan? Why is he being invited?" I looked at my father, slightly surprised.
"So he knows who's really in charge now. He needs to see you're not the woman he accused you of being. It'll be a blow to him." He explained, smiling coldly.
I clenched my fists, pain and resentment mingling together. 'Alright, I'll follow your advice."
"Rest first. You'll need strength to face everything.' My mother patted my shoulder.
I nodded and went to my room. As soon as the door closed, tears fell from my eyes. The images of Reyhan and Livia and their fake smiles continued to haunt my mind.
"Reyhan, Livia... you will regret this. I will make you both pay for every tear and drop of blood," I whispered.
A week later, the long-awaited day arrived when my status as the heir to the Nugraha family was officially recognized. I watched important guests appear on the hotel monitor screen, including government officials and successful businessmen. Their faces looked satisfied, hoping for the opportunity to collaborate with the Nugraha family.
I saw Reyhan arrive with Livia and her family—my mother-in-law, sister-in-law, and brother-in-law. They looked very close. Their attitude was very different when they were with me.
“Mr. Reyhan, who is that woman? Ah, isn't she…“A man who knew Livia looked surprised.
“WOW… amazing. How's your wife?” he asked again with a sarcastic tone.
Livia gave a faint smile. “Arlena is busy. I'm just accompanying Reyhan and representing my family's company,” Livia replied.
Hearing that, I glanced at Tomi, my assistant.
“Livia comes from the Dirgantara family. Their company is almost bankrupt. Reyhan offered financial assistance,” Tomi explained.
I fell silent. No wonder Livia, who had once rejected Reyhan, had changed. Reyhan had provided her with benefits.
Tomi continued explaining about the Dirgantara family, who had many cases of contract violations. I listened carefully.
“Alright, I understand,” I finally said. ‘It's time to meet them. I want to see their reactions.’
I stood up and walked toward the party room.
The large doors swung open wide, drawing everyone's attention. They stared at me enthusiastically, whispering as they recognized me as Reyhan's wife.
“Isn't that Mr. Reyhan's wife?”
“Yes, why is she here?”
“Is she the sole heiress of the Nugraha family?”
“Wow, Mr. Reyhan is truly lucky.”
