Stuck In The Wrong Marriage

Happy reading…

“Are you sure you want to handle it?” Jonathan asked with a slightly dubious face. This was because this was Hera’s first job and she was determined to tackle a rather difficult job. And if they fail, maybe they will lose everything again.

“If I was alone … maybe I would doubt my abilities, but I have you Mr. Jonathan. I’m sure we can handle it,” said Hera trying to convince the man as well as to convince herself.

As she said a few days ago. Hera wanted to prove to everyone who had underestimated her abilities that she could bring the company back on its feet. Even if she had to take a big risk, Hera would give it a try.

Jonathan, who saw Hera’s spirit blazing, couldn’t help but smile. The woman has the character of the father. Never give up and ambitious.

“All right, ma’am. I’ll definitely help you,” Jonathan said finally making both of them smile widely.

Taking more jobs means that Hera’s working time also increases. Not only in the office, even at home, the woman always looks busy with dozens of documents scattered on the table.

“Get some rest,” said Anne softly, stroking Hera’s shoulder. It was already eleven o’clock at night but Hera didn’t move from her desk.

“Wait minute, Mom. I have to prepare it tonight so that tomorrow our company can win in the auction,” said Hera.

Hera’s responsibility is not only to make a living for her family, she also has to pay the remaining debt from the bank so that her father’s company can become hers completely. The money he used to get from Jayden—which Jayden himself didn’t know—with Haidar’s help was only enough to make up for it partly. So Hera still had to work hard to pay off the rest.

Anne could only smile knowingly. There is a feeling of pity and pride at the same time. It’s a shame that Hera shouldn’t be working hard like this. But if not Hera who else? The Altezza family only had Hera as a successor. Proud of the child’s very strong determination. Rebuilding a company that has gone bankrupt is not easy. Several times Hera almost gave up because she failed, but she kept on trying relentlessly. And finally Hera’s hard work paid off. Some of the properties in the Eligra area have become her.

Hera shouldn’t have to worry too much. It was only enough that he won tomorrow’s auction, then her father’s company would fall into her hands. But Hera knew it would not be easy.

Jayden Xavier. The ex-husband, also participated in the auction. And Hera guessed that Jayden would know that his opponent was Hera. The man will not give up easily.

Hera took a deep breath as she stared at the document in front of her. Her mother had already left after giving Hera a cup of hot tea. Hera could only hope that her luck would continue until tomorrow.

And it was true, the goddess Portuna was still with her. Hera won the auction unanimously.

“We did it, Mrs. Hera,” Jonathan said with a big smile as he clapped his hands the loudest. This was a good first step for Hera to rebuild the company in her own name.

Hera turned to the right where Jayden was. For the first time after the divorce they met. Jayden joined in clapping as he looked at Hera. The man pulled one corner of his lips up.

Hera was a little confused. Why does Jayden look normal? But he lost the auction. Usually he will do anything to achieve his goals. Was the place not as important as Hera thought it would be for Jayden?NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.

Who knows. Hera didn’t want to think about it too much. The important thing was that she won the auction. Although there was a little feeling of fear, because Jayden was silent it was even scarier.

Some of the people who took part in the auction had already left the place. Meanwhile Hera and Jonathan had to stay for a while to take care of some paperwork. They only left after all the business was done.

“Hey, Hera!” But Jayden’s greeting made Hera stop. The woman turned to look at the man who was now standing in front of her.

“Congratulations on your victory today.” Jayden stretched out his hand, smiling faintly at Hera. Here Hera just wanted to be professional. Putting aside the personal issues between them. She accepted Jayden’s handshake calmly without showing any meaningful expression.

“Thank you,” said Hera.

“You’re welcome.”

After their handshakes slipped away, Jayden reached into something under his coat. Hera’s black irises followed where the hand moved. Until Jayden took out a white envelope.

Ah no. It was not an envelope but an invitation letter. He extended the invitation towards Hera. The woman did not immediately take it. She looked at the invitation instead.

Very beautiful. thought Hera. There was a bit of envy remembering that her and Jayden’s wedding invitations weren’t this good.

Oh, come on, Hera. Why are you even reminiscing about the past?

Immediately Hera smiled awkwardly and took the invitation from Jayden’s hand.

“I hope you come to my and Elena’s wedding,” Jayden said.

“Sure. I’ll try to clear my schedule.”

Jayden chuckled softly at Hera’s words. Very arrogant. Hera acted like she was so busy.

“Okay. I’ll be waiting for you.” Jayden leaned a little closer to Hera’s face. And when his lips were level with her ear he whispered, “You will be a special guest. And don’t forget to bring Haidar along.” After saying that Jayden then left leaving Hera unmoved in her place.

“Come on, Mrs. Hera,” said Jonathan. The woman took a deep breath before turning out of the place.

Drrrtt… drrrtt…

Hera felt her cellphone vibrate in her bag. As they continued walking, Hera picked up the phone.

“Hello!” said Hera smiling sweetly. That’s Anne, it seems that the mother was so impatient to hear the good news that she called.

But Hera’s smile immediately faded when she heard Anne’s cry on the other side. Hera’s steps also stopped with a trembling body.

“Juan’s in the hospital?” Hera whispered with a look of panic, anxiety and fear mixed in there.

Jayden who was not that far in front of Hera heard that. Suddenly Jayden immediately ran to Hera.

“What’s wrong, Hera?” Jayden asked.

Hera was no longer able to answer. The woman chose to get into the car and ordered Jonathan to immediately take her to the hospital. Ignoring Jayden who kept calling her. The man decided to follow Hera while praying that Juan would be okay.
