Lionara stared at the reflection of his face in front of the toilet mirror, while his hands squeezed firmly on the side of the sink. It is still difficult to believe if the man who is now talking warmly in the family room owned by Grandpa Rikkard is El, more precisely Daniel Alexander. The only man who made it into his dark life and
breaking down the ice wall that he had been building all this time.
But there's something different. In the middle of the room, Daniel seemed to not recognize him, even when grandfather introduced him as his brother-in-law, Daniell's reaction was only ordinary. Lionara wondered, did the man not remember it? Or because of the makeup she wears to make it look different—unlike her usual, shabby.
Daniel Alexander Christopher is actually the half-brother of his own husband. Surprised? Of course he was very shocked by this new reality. Especially seen from any side, Jordan also hated it because Daniel is the son of Rossalyn. Even during the conversation, the families, especially Josep, openly praised and boasted the son of his second wife rather than Jordan himself. While Jordan was not affected at all, he was cool to play games on his phone.
Lionara just didn't expect, he would get caught up in this influential family drama. On the one hand he sympathizes with Jordan who is not liked by his presence by the family, except only Grandpa Rikkard. Lionara is determined to follow Jordan's game in avenging his family. But on the other hand, Lionara suddenly felt very guilty, because indirectly he was on the opposite side with Daniel.
Daniel, a man so nice to him.
Daniel, the man who always gives him spirit when things go down.
Daniel, the man who had his heart.
If so, what should Lionara do now? Which side should he stand on?
Lionara let out a long sigh, then washed his hands—darken, then decided to get out of the toilet. But just as he was coming out, suddenly someone blocked his hand and with a rash motion, led him to the back garden.
“Let go.” Lionara says cold
The man let go, then smiled wryly “You've forgotten me, Flo?”
Lionara looked up, staring right at the brown iris of honey that he had been yearning for. Flo, is Daniel's special call to him first.
“No.” Lionara says briefly. “I think I'm forgotten.”
Daniel eroded their distance, his hands gently touching both of Lionara's shoulders, “I never forget you. Even if your appearance has changed drastically.”
“Then why did you act as if you didn't recognize me earlier?”
“Should I show it? When I found out that you were already the wife of my own half-sister. You think how they respond later?”
Lionara.
“Why?” Daniel asked softly, “why didn't you wait for me? But instead of marrying the person I don't want to be in this world?”
Lionara is still silent. Daniel grabbed Lionara's hand and placed the tiny palm on his chest.
“Do you know how painful it is here, when I find out you belong to someone else? Do you think I'm okay in there?” Daniel asked grievously, his eyes glazed over.
“What answer do you want, El?” Lionara smiled bitterly, followed by a heavy breath. “I thought we were long over. You left and never gave me any news at all-“
“I don't mean not to tell you.” by Daniel fast. “I'm just struggling, Flo. Daddy knows about our relationship and he's very angry because I have a lover who doesn't live up to his expectations. He'll get rid of you if I keep in touch with you. Therefore, I decided to follow Daddy's desire to continue studying abroad, in order to take over the company. I thought with me having the power, Daddy wouldn't be able to get in the way of our relationship anymore. But, what do I get when I get back?” Daniel looked disappointedly at Lionara who looked down.
Silent.
Slowly, Lionara lowered his hand from Daniel's chest, then took a few steps back. After a considerable distance, Lionara looked up the same—bulir also flowed in the corner of Lionara's cheek.
“If you were honest with me in the past, maybe I'd be waiting for you. Butno. You chose to keep it a secret yourself as if I were nothing. Do you think my life over these three years has been so good? I'm slumped. I was destroyed by my family, working like a madman in order to provide for Leon's needs and school, lastly you also added to my pain. Do you know how tired I am?” cecar Lionara hoarse “Two months ago, I was fired for breaking a bottle of drink, then I was asked to pay compensation at a price I would not be able to pay. Leon threatened to be expelled from school because of a lot of arrears. And you know, my problems don't stop there.”
Lionara paused with a poignant tone.
“Leon accident and his life threatened not saved if not immediately in operation. You know how important Leon was to me, and back then it was just that guy you didn't want to be who came to offer me help, even though I knew that help wasn't free. But I can what? Leon is more important than my life.”
“Flo...,” Daniel choked. He had no idea how hard life his lover was going through.
“So stop thinking as if only you were hurt. I'm more than that.” press Lionara “for me we've sele—“
Before Lionara managed to continue his sentence, Daniel had silenced his lips with a gentle and orderly pagutan, as the nape of Lionara was pushed forward to create a tickle on the walls of his second stomach. The great leafan on the chest was no less crazy as Daniel deepened their pagutan with both hands cupping his tiny face.
The tongue twists each other, as if forgetting the surrounding conditions that allow anyone to see the hotness of the two who are getting wild. Daniel's hand began to descend the neck of Lionara, creeping down, before halting—and unable to move again when the voice of Lionara muttered between their pagutans.
“We can't be together anymore, El,”
Freeze. The kiss instantly turned cold in the blink of an eye.
“I'm married. There's no room between us anymore. Let go of me, and find a woman more worthy of your company.”
Daniel stretched their bodies, with the junks descending and struggling to swallow the salivary.
“Not—I will never let you go. You're mine.”
Lionara breathed a heavy breath. “I'm in. Don't stand here for too long.”
Lionara passed by, without looking back. And for the first time, the girl turned her back on—chose to be the first to step away.
But without them knowing, Jordan had been standing for quite a long time in the middle of the tamaram— room watching the interaction of the two intensely from the upper balcony with a difficult to decipher gaze.
“Sam,” call him with gesture still turned his back on someone.
“Yes, Tuan” Samuel replied
“Investigate the relationship of the two. Report the results to me within an hour.”
“Good, Mr.” replied Samuel then immediately passed from there—running the order of the Master.

“My decision is round, Dad. I still want a change of main heir.” Josep said with great emphasis.
“I agree.” Jackson parroted
“Jack,” sweat Gerald “don't interfere. You've got your share,”
“I think the discussion about this is finished.” murmured Grandpa Rikkard with lazy gesture “all my grandchildren from the beginning have got their respective parts.”
“But still it's not fair to Daniel.” Josep again protested “he even only got a quarter. Daniel is also my son, Dad,”
“But Daniel is your second son. The first is Jordan.” Rikkard said the rules are clear “. Only the first grandson has full rights.”
Everyone is silent now. Rikkard's tone of voice turned high, firmly undeniable. His eyes stared at the children and grandchildren one by one. He was quite caught off guard by the topic of the endless legacy, especially Josep who always denied his decision.
And in the middle of that silence, Jordan suddenly laughed loudly to make all eyes now look at him strangely.
“Jeez, why from earlier did you discuss the issue of inheritance alone? Is that how obsessed you are with this family fortune?” jordan's circus in the middle of his snub.
“Don't be arrogant ya,” decih Josep
“Why not?” Jordan shrugs casually “I am clearly flattered because indirectly behind your debate is I—sang the main heir.” pongah Jordan.
“Jordan,” remembers Rikkard, staring intently at the grandson so as not to continue what is in his demonic brain. He knows the character of his favorite grandson.
“Oh come on, Cake. Didn't I already tell you that I'm not interested in this family legacy.” Jordan said lazily “just give it to the old man's favorite son,” he continued pointing with his chin towards Josep.
“You see for yourself Dad, how insolent is that kid?” furious Josep with a denouncing tone “is that the heir that Daddy chose?”
“Josep, calm yourself,” gently scold Rossalyn
Jordan smiled obliquely, “Iya, just give it to all of them. Because that was the purpose of the hypocritical woman from the beginning. Taking everything I have.”
“Jordan!!” jakak Josep wrathful. He wanted to come forward to beat the brash mouth of his son, but lost quickly, because unexpectedly Daniel who floated his bogem first.
Bugh..Bugh..Bugh…
Blindly, Daniel punches and kicks Jordan with tremendous anger. While Jordan still did not protest, there was no resistance even when Daniel slammed his body against the back wall, strangling his neck with a red face extinguished.
“I told you, never insult my mother again, asshole!” hardiknya sharp. “fight me, not my mother, dog!”
“Isn't it true, your mother is a hypocritical woman who guzzles the face of an angel?” Jordan did not seem to be in pain, looking at Daniel in disgust.
Daniel smiled obliquely, “Not turned upside down? It was from the beginning that your weak mother ruined my mother's happiness. He separated my Dad and my mom in a dirty way— got my dad drunk to sleep with him.***** once, right?” low hissing.
In just a few seconds, Daniel was already on the floor. Jordan kicked his chest until he lashed hard behind the sofa and groaned in pain.
“Lang, WHAT?” Jordan approached, lifting the tonjokan so strong. “How dare your fucking mouth equate my mother with dirt!”
“Jordan, Daniel stop you!” rikkard shouted
Josep, Gerald and Jackson try to keep out, but it is not new if Jordan will have trouble being held back when he starts his doom.
“You're offended? In fact, your mother was indeed nothing more than ***** who crawled into Dad's bed for the sake of marriage.” Daniel was still stirring, though his lips were torn with thick blood pouring down from his nose. “And you are as dirty as your mother who ****** that!”
“Daniel, stop saying nonsense!” Josep jerking. Didn't expect his second son who was so calm and polite to say so.
Jordan's face now darkened. Both of his hands clenched tightly until they raised the veins.
He just woke the devil from hell.
Jordan flicked the hand Gerald and Jackson were holding, and advanced back by kicking Daniel so hard. He lifted his clothes, made him stand tired, then slammed his battered body into the wall to produce a terrible sound.
“You really want to die tonight, eh?” Jordan grinned, his gaze already looking so cold and evil. A second later, he pulled out a gun from his pocket and pointed it right in front of Daniel.
Everyone gasped in shock. Especially Rossalyn who is now trembling in fear seeing her son about to be eliminated.
“Jordan, don't be crazy!” jolt Josep hard
“Don't kill, My son!” raung Rossalyn's
“Stop, Son. Don't do that,” sweat Rikkard gently with a head bobble
“Let down your fucking gun!” hardik Jackson
Jesica hid a frightened face in Lydia's arms. Jordan is healing the ears. He was ready to pull the trigger and almost shoot it, but suddenly there was a hand touching the mouth of the gun— stopped him.
Lionara stood in front of Jordan, blocking Daniel's body.
“Surge.” Jordan snarls not like.
Lionara shook his head, “This is not the way. You can kill him.”
“That's my goal. Move!”
Lionara. The Jordan he used to see was full of annoying smiles, now nothing. The Jordan standing in front of him was now very different. His aura was very dark, his eyes were reddened in anger.
Jordan pulls the gun roughly, then returns to point it right at Daniel's body and nearly shoots him as Lionara quickly pulls his face and kisses him deep.
Jordan stunned. The kiss was so sudden. Even the woman's hand was now wrapped around her neck, deepening the gentle pagutan feelingly. Unknowingly the gun in Jordan's hand had already fallen to the floor. Her iris stared intensely at the movements of Lionara's lips that were caressing her lips, as if the woman was coaxing her domineering side. Jordan was engulfed in the flames of anger, and Lionara tried to extinguish the fire.
“We go home, yes,” whispered Lionara— soft persuading, with teary eyes. Both of his hands hugged Jordan's waist as tightly as possible and leaned his face against Jordan's chest.
"You must be treated," he said later
