For the next two days, the filming process went according to the normal schedule. However, due to the incident with Sasha's disappearance, Louis ended up hiring a security guard around their shooting location. The location which was already busy with the crew and actors now felt even more crowded with the guards' presence.
According to the latest news that Lilia heard about Sasha, the woman had left Magetan the day she was rescued by the police. The police had planned to carry out an in-depth investigation into this case, but Sasha refused. The woman returned to Surabaya in such a hurry, as if being chased by something. Finally, Louis closed the case by withdrawing his report to the police.
But Sasha's attitude made everyone wonder. Did it all happen because of Sasha's own fault? Or was there something she wanted to hide from the police investigation?
While the crew and actors were busy gossiping about the possibilities, Lilia just smiled faintly and focused on the script. Of course Sasha wouldn't let the police investigate this case. If the truth were exposed, the reputation Sasha had worked so hard for would be completely destroyed.
At the same time, Lilia also heard that the head of the equipment team was involved in an accident, so the man was forced to withdraw from the filming project. He suspected that Mellisa was the one behind this.
Apart from that, there was another change that Sasha's incident caused. Lilia might not have realized it, but Clifford was now shadowing her every step. Not only Clifford, even Dina and Rini also raised their guard. They always watched Lilia closely.
The three bodyguards agreed to tighten their guard after Jean indirectly threatened them. In the night after Mellisa left and Lilia fell asleep, Jean summoned all three of them. The man just looked at them with an icy gaze and said four words, "I am disappointed in you."
Clifford, Dina, and Rini felt as if their ages were getting shorter after the meeting with Jean. This time Lilia managed to escape Sasha's evil plan only because Mellisa moved behind the scenes to protect her. Not a single member of the Widjaya Family's bodyguards would have thought that the Hiroshi Family's daughter was brave enough to target their boss's wife!
Jean's attitude showed that the man would not forgive their mistake a second time. That's why Clifford, Dina, and Rini worked extra hard to escort Lilia. They didn't want to know what would happen if they failed again!

Two days later, Lilia finished shooting around nine in the evening. Lilia worked hard to finish all her shooting scenes for today so that she would have some time off later. Louis had agreed to give her time off if Lilia could finish shooting. The model planned to go out with Jean on her day off.
As soon as Lilia returned to the hotel, she headed straight for the sitting room. Even though her body felt sore after shooting, seeing Jean back always gave her a new spirit. But Lilia also felt a little guilty because that man was so busy with various important meetings.
Tonight, Lilia found her husband smoking while studying his laptop screen, which was filled with all kinds of reports and data.
Lilia approached Jean without making a sound and turned around to the back of the sofa, then she wrapped her arms around the man's neck. Before Jean could react, Lilia lowered her head and kissed her husband on the cheek.
"Jean, I'm back!" Lilia whispered in Jean's ear.
Lilia intended to tease the man who was still facing his laptop with a serious face. However, she immediately regretted her actions. Jean removed the laptop from his lap and caught Lilia's waist with both arms. In one smooth motion, Jean had pulled his wife down onto his lap.
"Ahh! Jean!" Lilia protested as she suddenly landed on the sofa. "Don't do that ... hmph!"
Before Lilia could protest, Jean had sealed her mouth with a long kiss. The man kissed Lilia so aggressively that Lilia regretted provoking him earlier.
"If you tease me like that…" Jean whispered in Lilia's ear as the woman was trying to catch her breath. "... I won't be able to hold back."
"Huh? What do you mean…?" Lilia tried to ask, but Jean fiercely crushed her lips again.

The next morning, Lilia was awakened by a glimmer of sunlight slipping in through the windows. She blinked several times until she got used to the dark room's atmosphere. Then Lilia turned her head towards the man sleeping beside her. Her black eyes were clear without feeling sleepy.
Lilia struggled to sleep well last night. She was so excited about her trip to Sarangan that she couldn't sleep. Lilia smiled faintly and shook her head. She felt like a kid about to go on a trip with her parents.
The woman was about to get out of bed, but then realized that Jean's arms were tightly hugging her waist. If Lilia moved even a little, she would wake up that man too. She could only sigh while staring at Jean's sleeping face. Even in his sleep, this man was still possessive like a tyrant.
The sunlight seeping into the room helped Lilia to see Jean's face more clearly. While sleeping, the man's face looked softer and more innocent. The wrinkles on Jean's forehead also disappeared as he slept, giving him a younger appearance than usual.
Lilia smiled softly while admiring Jean's good looks that was completely different from when he was awake. She felt as if she could spend all day just watching the man sleep.
Suddenly, Jean's arms moved and pulled Lilia into his arms. The man didn't bother opening his eyes, but he was able to land a soft kiss right on Lilia's forehead.
"Why are you awake?" Jean's deep voice when he just woke up like this sounded hoarse and sexy.
Lilia laughed lightly. "I was too excited when I imagined that we will go to Sarangan today," she answered.
Jean slowly opened his eyes. His ocean blue eyes studied Lilia's expression closely. "Do you like that place?" He asked.
"Not really." Lilia met Jean's gaze and smiled broadly. "But as long as I go with you, I'm sure that I will like it."
After saying that, Lilia came to her senses and hurriedly buried her face in Jean's chest. She didn't know what got into her that she could utter such embarrassing romantic lines!
Jean was stunned to see Lilia's adorable behavior. Was Lilia trying to tease him? If so, then her tactic successfully worked. Jean had to struggle to control his desire to attack the beautiful woman in his arms. He compromised by gently biting on Lilia's exposed ear before his eyes.
Lilia's body trembled because of Jean's actions. Then she heard the man whisper in her ear, "Are you sure that you won't regret following me there?"
"Huh?" Lilia immediately raised her face and met the man's eyes. Her pair of black eyes reflected the confusion that filled her mind. "Why did you assume that I would regret it?"
"Aren't we just going to see your old friend?"
Lilia swallowed back the question that had barely escaped her mouth. She studied Jean's expression carefully, but the man was as flat as ever. Lilia couldn't read her husband's face at all.
Jean just sighed before pressing Lilia's head back against his chest. He didn't need to explain now. After all, Lilia would find out the truth in just a few hours. And if that woman truly regretted her decision....
