Shaking hands and Sean in turn, detective Charlie sat down on the sofa across from us. He has a firm face, I’m sure he must be respected by people because his attitude currently looks formal and doesn’t seem very friendly. Perhaps, people who work like him are required to behave in front of clients like today, so that people provide correct information.
“All the evidence submitted by your personal assistant has been investigated by us and we are connecting it with the existing case, we are very pleased with you providing accurate evidence, Mr Valentino.”
“Then, what made the detective come here??”
I glanced at Sean who seemed to have an intimidating face on him, detective Charlie cleared his throat, trying not to be affected by the intimidating look on Sean’s face, but it seems my black and white knight is very good at this. My Inner Goddess looked tensed on her red sofa like I was right now.
“The perpetrator said that your wife ... I mean Mrs Valentino had contact with the perpetrator while still a profession.” Detective Charlie looked at me as he said that. Damn you Ariel! Burn you Hell!!
“That’s not true, we never got along.”
“Really? The perpetrator showed a photo of you being present at a celebration of your management.”
Damn double!! He must have shown us a photo of us all attending a management birthday celebration that coincided with my album launch day, and the incident where Edward almost kissed me.
“All parties from management came at that time, and during the event I was never alone with him,” I explained, starting to get nervous, dammit! I want to kill that bastard a second time.
“But you almost kissed one of them that time, was that right, Mrs Valentino??
“Detective, I think you have gone too far, my wife has given you the information you need, I can sue you for interfering in my wife’s private affairs!” Sean interrupted while holding my hand, his gaze filled with threats that looked terrible, can Sean sue the police?? Of course he could, and he would win the lawsuit because of what he had now, plus the allegations were well-founded. Detective Charlie looked surprised for a moment, then he managed to overcome the emotional changes he was going through, he cleared his throat again, My Inner Goddess stared mockingly at detective Charlie, Sean’s aura managed to affect him, even the atmosphere in this room might be below zero due to dominant aura.
“Thank you for your cooperation, this matter has been clearly proven thanks to you and Mrs Valentino,” Detective Charlie said then got up from his seat, shook our hands in turn, then Sam appeared and escorted the man to the main door.
“That bastard talked too much with the police, but I can rest easy now that he won’t bother us anymore.”
It was a relief, nothing else would keep Sean awake like an insane person, worrying too much for my safety and the others.
“About Ariel stealing personal data from your office server, what’s the purpose of him doing that??”

It’s time to dig up information, my Inner Goddess began to stretch her body which had been tense a while ago, she returned to struggling with her Fifthy Shades novel, my senses were busy filling out the second series of crossword puzzles.
“He wanted to know about you and was trying to find fault, when you didn’t answer my phone on the day of the incident, I kind of lost my sanity, and when I arrived and the building caught fire and exploded, I couldn’t stop praying that you would be okay so Jared and Zafrina did a good job of looking after you.”
I looked at his face with the fear I could still feel at that moment. I leaned closer to the wheelchair and turned it so that it was facing me.
“But it was you who was hurt, when your eyes were closed, you seemed to take half my life, you are a fool for not being alert.” I cried while holding his hand.
“Hey, it’s okay, I’m here, baby, I promise I’ll be more careful.”
Seeing her helpless like back then was my nightmare. I wiped the tears that were running down my face and tried to normalize the emotional turmoil I was experiencing right now. Pregnancy hormones make me very melancholic, Sean asked me to take him to our room, he is not recommended to move a lot and do activities that make him press his stomach.
Before going to the room, Sean asked me to take him to his workspace, take his laptop and tablet.

I looked at Sean who would be lying beside me after finishing his work. Three months passed very quickly after that horrific incident, but he was finally able to recover and return to normal. My stomach looks even more bloated, he caresses my stomach in a circular motion, I can’t sleep if he doesn’t do that to my stomach, I don’t know, maybe my son really likes it if his father does that. A feeling of sleepiness started to overtake me.
“You want something?” he asked, I shook my head with sleepy eyes.
“Then go to sleep, tomorrow we have to go see Dracula’s castle,” he said with a suppressed smile, I smiled in my sleep, after Ariel burned our prospective house in Sentosa, Sean decided to buy a house in another location close to the beach, because I really like the sea.
“I like living in a castle, like a princess in a fairy tale.” Talking sleepy is not fun, Sean smiled then kissed my forehead, after that I shifted closer to him so I could sleep in his arms.
“I am a lucky man.”
I smiled as I closed my eyes, it seemed like he wanted to tell me something tonight. My Inner Goddess pulled her fur blanket up to her neck, ready to listen to a bedtime story from a Sean Valentino.

“Really?? In fact, I feel so married to a man who has everything like you, all men dream to be in your position, you are very special in the eyes of the world and also in my eyes.” My sleepiness was fighting with my consciousness, Sean inhaled the scent of my hair and buried his nose in mine, one of his arms wrapped around me like a vine.
“Only my current life that many people want, before this, I was just an outcast with nothing, I didn’t even have the courage to approach you when we were children, and until now I will not be able to experience this happy life. If it weren’t for you wanting to marry me.”
My life before meeting him was very different, it never crossed my mind to marry a man like Sean. My criteria are only about my life. I smiled as I thanked myself for this beautiful life.
“I still want to know one thing.” I suddenly thought about this one.
“Which matter?”
I paused for a few seconds to pause, hopefully he’d want to go into the details.
“Fire in Dad’s office, is it because of Ariel too?”
I felt him smile through the pile of my hair.
“You’re always hungry for information, Mrs Valentino, this is a bit of a hassle for me, but very useful in a way.”
My face turned red from both praise and protest from him at the same time. Not Ariana if you don’t want to know, My Inner Goddess rose from her reclining position, then put on her black, diamond-filled spectacles on the hilt and frame while smiling while licking her front teeth, her expression implying acknowledgment of that.
“Initially, we thought that it was an accidental incident, but upon further investigation, well, that bastard did it, he ordered someone to burn down dad’s office as an assassination attempt, but dad wasn’t in the office at the time,” he explained. , it’s terrible. Ariel tried to kill us all, my body like being pricked by needles imagining it.
“What is the motive behind his attack all this time?”
Sean took a deep breath.
“His father had a working relationship with me, our business relationship went well, until finally he borrowed money from me and couldn’t pay it, Sam shrank wherever the money was channeled and there was only one account, that account belonged to Ariel.”

Sean paused for a moment then continued.
“Initially, I didn’t mind it, but in the end the loan went to Ariel’s dirty business and her habit of spending money on the gambling table, I could have freed her father from debt, but the loan amount was quite large and Oslo could lose because of it .”
“Then how can he meet Atika and have a relationship without you knowing?”
Is my question going too far?? My senses gave instructions to continue the investigation in the form of pillow talk, I glanced at my Inner Goddess who looked serious applying her fiery red lipstick to her lips in front of the small mirror she was holding, she didn’t seem to care, the sunglasses she was wearing were perched on top of her head.
“Atika is not completely free from the effects of drugs, maybe he feels compatible with Ariel because he has an interest in the same thing, but in the end, he took advantage of Atika and blackmailed the woman, actually that bastard has been after you for a long time.”
This is news, I asked in my surprise, my Inner Goddess immediately looked at me with a curious look.
“Me??” That’s all that crossed my mind.
“Similarly with Atika, he wants you to be on the list of women he can use to make a living, but you are observant enough to see him as a threat, my smart girl.”
He kissed the top of my head in appreciation of my good instincts towards Ariel. Dewi Innerku sat on her red sofa with a graceful pose with bright red lips.
“I know, he’s a bully, so I decided not to give him any reproach between us he has an ominous aura,” I admitted honestly.
“Do I have an unpleasant aura??”
The topic changed to about him. He can always do that, anytime and anywhere on any topic.
“Sometimes, when you’re angry, you feel like you can kill me with just your anger,” I say, his arms tightening around me.
“Now go to sleep, Doctor Grace will scold me if she finds out that you sleep late.”

I closed my eyes and welcomed the feeling of sleepiness that I had been holding back a moment ago. I’m glad he shared this information with me, even though I got it on my own initiative, but it didn’t take me much effort to figure it out. The next second, I began to sink into dreamland.
