Edward entered the room at a leisurely pace and smiled triumphantly. He looked at Sarah who was sleeping on her side holding her belly. The man went to the bathroom briefly to wash his face, then followed his wife on the bed and lay down.
Sarah, noticing Edward's presence, woke up and looked at his face. "You just got home? Where from?" She asked in a hoarse voice.
"Over time," Edward said with a flat look.
Uhuhukk.. uhhhuk
Sarah coughed and sneezed a few times, she changed position to hug Edward, buried her face into her husband's chest.
"So cold, you rarely hug me, touch my belly," Sarah muttered.
Edward, who was almost closed, looked down at Sarah who looked uneasy because she wanted to be spoiled by him. However, all of this was difficult, because he still felt that what his wife was carrying was not his child. Moreover, Mike's presence, which seemed never to be absent, made him sick and assumed that the baby she was carrying was Mike's baby.
"It's all your fault, Sarah! You act like you don't need me as your husband, but Mike!" said Edward curtly.
"Because he's always caring, Edward. Where have you been? I feel lonely every day because you're always working and don't make time for me. I want to be like other women who are loved and cherished by my husband." Sarah showed her pain, hoping that Edward would understand her feelings.
Edward sighed, glancing at Sarah who was showing her sadness. 'Okay I'll be nice before I'm ready to leave you,' he thought.
Edward changed his position to be sideways embraced Sarah then rubbed her back. "Now go to sleep, it's eleven o'clock," he called.
"I'm short of breath," Sarah whispered.
"You have a cold and cough, have you been to the doctor?" Edward asked.
"Yes," Sarah whispered as she tightened her arms around Edward. "Because you're busy, I was forced to accept Mike's offer to take me to the doctor," she continued.
"Yeah, I've been busy, but I don't want Mike to take you back. Now if you need anything, you can ask me." Edward still shows his distaste for Mike. Even though he didn't love Sarah, it was still as if his honor was being lowered when his wife was always close to other men.
"Really? Do you want to always obey me?" Sarah asked enthusiastically looking up at Edward.
"Yeah," Edward said with a small smile.
"Thank you, Honey."
"And don't be whiny or weak. As far as I know, you're wild and adorable, not always crying and begging." It seemed that pregnancy had made Sarah change her sense, but Edward didn't like that.
Sarah nodded, then tightened her arms. Edward reached out to pull the blanket over Sarah and himself to warm him up. Slowly they both fell asleep in the comfort of each other's warmth.

Arriving at home, Luna rushed into the baby's second room. She seemed worried if something happened that endangered her twin's baby life considering the events at the office were the work of people who might not like Ethan. Ethan also joined Luna while waiting for his bodyguard who had not yet arrived.
Arriving in the room, Luna breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the two babies were still sleeping soundly, Anna and Gita were also sleeping on the bed nearby.
"They're safe," Ethan muttered, then reached into his pocket for his smartphone. he immediately contacted Andrew, because his bodyguard had not yet arrived, while he was already worried if there was a bomb in his house or anything dangerous.
"Hello, Drew, are the bodyguards on their way yet?" asked Ethan when he hooked up with Andrew.
"They left a few minutes ago, maybe arriving soon," Andrew replied.
"Is the fire out yet?" asked Ethan again.
"Yes, the police have started looking for evidence," Andrew replied.
Ethan heaved a sigh of relief, went back to saying "please stay tuned, I look forward to hearing from you, Drew."
"Yes. You take it easy."
"Okay, please call Nathalie to dismiss all employees tomorrow. Because the burning room needs to be sterilized," Ethan shouted again.
"Okay."
Ethan immediately disconnected the phone, then returned to focus on his children and Luna.
"I'll sleep with them," Luna whispered.
Ethan nodded, then responded, "Yeah, that's best. I'll take Toni to check all the rooms in the house."
"Be careful, honey," Luna called out.
"Everything will be fine," Ethan replied with an uneasy look on his face. Of course, because his comfortable life began to be disturbed.
Ethan immediately left the house inviting Tony to check all the rooms with the bodyguard who had now arrived. while Luna asked Anna and Gita to move to their respective rooms, then she carried Keenan and Keyra to the big bed to sleep with her. Put a few pillows beside them, blanketed them, then she lay down too.
while lying next to Keenan and Keyra, Luna just stared at them. "What's the matter again? I've just felt calm and happy that my life is back to how it used to be, but now there's this horrible terror again. Who else doesn't like our happiness?"
Luna monologues with herself, guessing about who wants to get her and Ethan into trouble again. "Could it be Edward? If so, I'm the one who made things like this. Because of me, he became evil."
Luna ponders remembering that Edward is just a man too inadmissible to admit mistakes and remains obsessed with having them. even though, she understood that her former lover had never committed a crime before, but because of that, he turned into a monster that would destroy anyone without mercy.
"Is it all my fault? But it was Ethan who took me, Edward who left me. why are they both tough and don't notice or give in to one of them. Should I just back off to make things fair, I just don't want my kids to get hurt." Even though she doesn't know for sure about the events that happened at the office, Luna feels that Edward is someone who should be suspected.
Considering that she had once had the heart to harm Ethan, all of this might have been his doing again.
___
Ethan with his three bodyguards and also Toni began to check all the rooms in his house and around his yard.
At midnight, Luna along with Anna and Gita woke up when the bodyguards and also Ethan entered to check the security of the room.
"What's happen, ma'am?/why are there so many bodyguards?" Anna asked with a face that had just woken up, Gita was also curious to wait for an answer from Luna.
"In the office, there might be a bomb. And the bodyguards checked all the rooms and the yard to make sure there were no bombs," explained Luna angrily.
"Oh my God, that's dangerous," Gita muttered.
"Everything will be fine," said Luna, intending to calm her babysitter. Even if she doesn't feel at ease.
Luna got out of bed, approached Ethan who was watching his bodyguards. they were checking around the cupboards, under the table, under the bed, and anything that could be used to place a bomb or something dangerous.
"Is there anything suspicious at home?" asked Luna.
"Not. but they haven't checked out some of the other rooms," Ethan replied with a flat look.
"I feel like this is Edward's doing," Luna whispered as she watched the bodyguard who was busy checking the cupboard.
"I think so because I have no other enemies. why is he so brave? Even though we were together since childhood, he is the older brother I love. He's turned into such a cold-blooded villain." Ethan pondered regretting Edward's drastically changed attitude.
"All because of me." Luna turned out of the room with teary eyes. there is a feeling of sadness and tiredness in her heart, she is tired of living life in the bother of others.
Ethan was worried about Luna, then followed out of the room.
Luna sat contemplating on the sofa, Ethan approached her. "Don't blame yourself for everything that happened because he didn't realize his mistake for leaving you just like that," he said while rubbing the area under Luna's eyes.
"And it's also all your fault for snatching me so easily." Luna turned to look at Ethan who was still blaming Edward without realizing his mistake as well. "You're wrong too, Ethan. You're wrong and I'm tired of all this."
Luna got up from the sofa, returned to the twins' room. While Ethan, unmoved by hurt feelings because Luna even blamed him.
