Chapter 280 - The Man From The Past

"Honey, can we discuss this tomorrow? Because I'm very sleepy. But, you take it easy because I will give you the results of your health check tomorrow so you know!". Julian said hopefully. 

Hearing Julian's words, Qiara was silent for a moment. Not long after that, she thought that what Julian said was true, her expression softened. 

"All right, I'll collect your promise tomorrow!".

Hearing Qiara's answer, Julian felt relieved that his wife was not stubborn this time. 

"Sure. Now go to sleep because I will hug you as you want". Julian said while tightening his embrace without making Qiara feel tight. 

Qiara immediately smiled and hugged Julian back, because she would only sleep soundly when she was in Julian's arms. 

At the same time, Rena just lay down on the bed after finishing painting.

Shee paced back and forth in her room waiting for a reply to her message or a call back from Demian.

Right at that time the sound of her phone rang, Rena immediately picked up without looking at the caller ID because she thought it was Demian.

"Hello!".

That heavy and terrible voice made Rena fall silent because it was clearly not Demian's voice.

There was no way Demian would call her in the middle of the night, besides that Demian never called first, Rena realized.

"Who is this?". Rena asked, trembling. 

"Honey, have you forgotten who I am?". Said the person on the other side of the phone in a soft voice. 

This second voice sounded quite clear, immediately Rena's eyes filled with tears because she was very familiar with the voice. 

It had been a voice she had not heard for three years, but now it seemed to be piercing her bones.

Without saying anything else, Rena closed her cell phone then ran and hid behind a blanket with a sweaty body.

"No way, he's not that person. I'm just hallucinating, this is a lie, and there's no way he'll come back again. He's dead". Shouted Rena in frustration. 

After shouting, Rena took sleeping pills in her drawer, she immediately drank three sleeping pills then pushed the medicine with plain water.

After that, she went back into the blanket. 

Not long after, she fell into a deep sleep, immediately fell into a dream that showed her past which reminded her of a man.

~ Rena's Dreams ~

Bright mornings along with blooming flowers participate in welcoming the warm morning sun at Rena's mansion in America. 

"Rena, let's go dear!". The soft voice of her beloved old man was heard behind the door of her room, she was Mr. Joseph who was none other than Julian's father.

Mr. Joseph married Rena's mother secretly without Sarah's knowledge. In addition, Mr. Joseph also put Rena's mother into a mad hospital because Rena's mother kept demanding to have the same rights as his first wife.

"I'm coming, Papa ...". Rena shouted excitedly as she ran towards the door. 

Just as the door opened, Rena was immediately greeted by a wide smile from her beloved man.

"Are you ready to go to school? Your head doesn't hurt anymore, right? Or do you have any other complaints?". Question after question popped so profusely from the mouth of her beloved old man, it was clear from the look on his face, there was a deep worry and worry.

Rena has a very popular lover in one of the elite high schools in America, he is named Virsen who is known to be handsome and charismatic, besides that he is the youngest grandson of Mr. Adamson.

"Papa, Rena is very healthy and ready to fight with all my studies. Papa need not worry!". Rena said as she took her father's arm and pulled her to the dining table to have breakfast together. 

"Good then. Oh yes, tomorrow Papa will return to town A for business, you are okay at home, right?".

"Of course, I'm used to it". Rena replied with a smile.

A few moments later they had finished eating and then left for their respective destinations.

»Rudolf Elite High School«

Not long after, Rena Car took a parking spot at the far right corner, precisely in the middle between luxury cars such as Volvo, BMW, Lamborghini, Mercedes Benz and other luxury cars parked on the school grounds.

"Rena ... Welcome back to our beloved school, you finally entered, I miss". Said Anna while hugging Rena who was standing in front of her.

Before Rena had time to answer, there was a hysterical voice from the female students, Rena and Anna were shocked and then turned to the source of the commotion. 

"Ahhh ... That's Star Hits ... Wow, they're getting more and more handsome every day".

"Yeah, look at Virsen! He's even more charming, unfortunately he belongs to Rena, the cute spoiled girl".

"Lower your voice! If Virsen hears, you could get into trouble. Don't you remember that he is the grandson of the most influential mafia in America and he also left two people out of this school because he knocked Rena down".

"Ah yes, I forgot". Said the student with feelings of regret and fear. 

Anna's ears started to heat up hearing the whispers of some of her friends, it felt like she wanted to rip their mouths, but Rena tried to hold Anna back because she didn't like noise. Luckily, Virsen didn't hear it.

After Rena and her two friends turned towards the source of the sound, they immediately focused their eyes on the handsome boy who was one school's idol who was seen walking towards her.

For the umpteenth time, Rena felt enchanted when she saw a spiky blonde Virsen, walking towards her like yesterday.

"Ahhh ... Looks like we go to class first, Rena, because your prince has come". Said Anna seductively.

Rena seemed embarrassed by Anna's teasing, her cheeks turned red and suddenly her behavior turned sassy like a child who had just fallen in love. 

"Rena, are you okay". Virsen asked when he saw Rena's flushed cheeks.

The heavy voice and the touch of the heavy hands made Rena enchanted so that she froze while she saw Virsen's face.

"Rena ... Do you hear me?". Virsen's voice made Rena startled while holding her chest which suddenly felt tight.

"Aaaa ....". Rena jolted from her sleep when she heard Virsen's scream which sounded very real.

Sweat flooded her body that felt shivering, she also rolled her eyes around the room in fear, her breath was heavy and unstable.
