The Line of Destiny Iriana
A complicated life

A heart-wrenching scream of agony came out from the mouths of the four men who had injured Iriana last night.

All over their bodies were now battered with many dagger incisions that released red liquid, indicating that the wound was quite severe.

They continue to apologize for failing to perform their duties and have made a big mistake by attacking and even injuring women who they should not have been harassed.

" Afred took them all away from me before I lost control and killed them with my own hands!" robert's word is cold.

The expression on his face looked very terrible staring at the four men who were now lying covered in blood.

Robert was outraged when his men returned battered and admitted that they had injured Iriana.

Robert was eager to kill them but considering that the four men were loyal people even dare to admit their own mistakes.

Finally Robert gave leniency by just slashing their bodies like what they did to his daughter.

Funny indeed, the men hurt the daughter of their own boss, but it is not entirely the fault of Robert's men because so far not many of them know the real face of Iriana.

After torturing his men, Robert called Victor to hold him accountable for the man he trusted to keep his daughter.

He had no idea that Victor was no longer putting a bodyguard around Iriana. While Victor himself did not know the current condition of his best friend.

Until the news reached Taomasa's ear, as well as Robert, The man whose hair had turned perfectly white was furious.

Meanwhile, Iriana's continued efforts to buy time to make Leonard leave ended in vain because the man turned out to remain firm in his stance to invite Iriana to lunch together.

And here they are now, sitting three at the dining table in one of the fancy restaurants.

In contrast to Leonard's face that continues to be radiant Iriana's face actually looks cold, while Alys just silent while staring alternately at two adults who he thought was strange.

Silence enveloped them until a servant came with an order that they had ordered moments ago.

" Deplete your food soon after that we're gone." Iriana's word to Alys.

Alys nodded obediently then ate his food while occasionally glancing at Iriana who looked different from before.

" It seems like this man likes Kak Ana, but Kak Iriana herself just looks the opposite, very cold and indifferent." Inner Alys.

" I'm going to the toilet for a minute." Pamit Iriana who was more intended for Alys then he immediately stood up.

" Do I need to be with you?" Rose Leonard.

Highlight Iriana's eyes turned to look at Leonard lazily, "Are you kidding me?"

" I'm serious." replied Leonard lightly.

Iriana just rolled her lazy eyeball in response then waltzed away just like that.

His feet continued to step away until he stopped at the toilet door.

" Get out Axe! I know you've been following me ever since. " Said Iriana, actually she had realized since then that there was someone following her.

Before long Axe was seen coming out from behind the wall that became his hiding place.

" Miss." said Axe while bowing respectfully.

" What's up?"

" Lord Taomasa asked me to take care of you from afar after hearing that you were injured last night." Obviously Axe.

After the drama drifted down the river successfully, Iriana again runs the next step, which is to recommend Axe to Taomasa to be given a job because Axe claimed that he was in need of a job.

And again their plan was a success, Taomasa really allowed Axe to work with him as a bodyguard.

" And you obey him? I guess you forgot the reason why I brought you into my Grandpa sphere?" Iriana smiled cynically.

" Don't worry Miss I can play my part well, I think it's also a little beneficial for us to make Mr. Taomasa not suspicious if I continue to be around him." said Axe.

After a while, Iriana came back to Leonard and Alys, the woman immediately said goodbye and took Alys away.

Leonard had offered to take them home but Iriana refused firmly so that Leonard relented and no longer forced.

" Alys I have to go is it okay if I stay first?" iriana asked as they reached the front of the house.

" It's okay, sister." said Alys while carrying plastic containing groceries that they had bought.

" Okay, come on in! Jack's home too if there's anything you need just tell him." Alys head nodded with a sweet smile then went inside the house leaving Iriana still staring at him.

Arriving at the mansion as usual Iriana was always warmly welcomed by Lily.

" Darling what about your wounds, why not go home and worry us?" there was a clear anxiety on Lily's face.

" I'm sorry to worry Grandpa and Grandma, but how do you know Ana's hurt? though Ana also did not tell Victor or Barack." said Iriana who felt awkward.

Taomasa and Lily throw each other a coded look at each other.

" From the Bodyguard that Grandpa ordered to take care of you." said Taomasa who had been silent since.

They were forced to lie because it was impossible to tell Iriana the truth that the people who hurt her were the men of her own Daddy.

" Grandpa don't lie! if any bodyguards were to follow Ana then there was no way they would just shut up and let Ana get hurt like this?" elak Iriana, he is no longer a child that can be lied to.

" Where do we know it doesn't matter, let's treat your wounds." Lily tried to switch the conversation.

" No need, Ana can be alone." Tampik Iriana then left just like that towards her room.

Taomasa let out a rough sigh seeing his granddaughter get angry, from this moment on he decided to re-place the spies and bodyguards around Iriana.

No matter whether Iriana agreed or not, she did not want any more help, it was fortunate that the one who injured Iriana was not the enemy of Taomasa or Robert, either, if that were to happen Taomasa could not imagine what his granddaughter would be like right now.

It was possible that he would lose Iriana for good, and it was certain that Taomasa would feel extremely devastated.

Iriana threw her body onto her king-size bed, the memory of how she lived her life all this time re-spinning on her mind.

Sometimes he felt very angry because there was too much Taomasa covered from him, too many secrets his family had and Iriana felt very tired of it.

According to Iriana his life is too complicated, it feels like being someone else who comes from an ordinary family without power or a strong background, enough to have a whole family, open and loving each other.

That was all Iriana wanted all along, just the happiness and affection of her parents.

The bluish-eyed beautiful woman continued to stare at the ceiling of the room with a blank stare until the presence of someone turned away her daydream.

" Go away I'm gonna be alone." Expel Iriana while turning her face the other way to avoid eye contact with someone who was visiting her room.

" Wake up let me treat your wounds." Say that guy.

Iriana did not budge she remained silent in her position but it did not last long when she felt a pull on her arm she immediately got up.

" Victor don't force me!" iriana jolted away her arm from Victor.

" Your wound must be treated immediately before infection!" Snapped Victor in a higher tone.

No more conversations between the two of them, Victor immediately brought Iriana into his arms when he saw the woman began to sob.

Iriana herself did not refuse she really needed a hug for now, she wanted to release all the burdens and sadness of her heart by crying.

" Why is life so unfair to me, Vic, why does Grandpa always have to keep everything from me, why?!" Iriana Raung.

Victor's embrace tightened, his heart feeling pain when he saw the fragile Iriana he was now, he continued to blame himself for not being able to take care of Iriana well.

More than that Victor felt more guilty for not being able to say all that Iriana wanted to know about the secret that had been Taomasa and Robert closed the meeting from Iriana.

" Grandpa did that there must be a reason and I'm sure it's for your good Ana, someday when it's time you'll know everything." Gently Victor tried to calm down Iriana.

This attitude that Victor very rarely shows will be very surprising to others but not with Iriana, because she is the only woman who has often received good treatment from the cold man.

Cup

Victor gave a glimpse of the head of Iriana and then broke their embrace.

" Don't cry anymore, let me treat your wounds." He wiped slowly the remaining tears on Iriana's cheek.

Iana's head nodded letting Victor treat his injuries.

With painstakingly Victor treating Iriana's wounds that have not been treated at all, sometimes Victor felt annoyed with the attitude of Iriana who was always stubborn and ignored the wounds on his body.

" Your wound is so big why not treat it immediately." said Victor while dressing the bandage in the wound of Iriana.

Both of Iriana's shoulders were raised indifferently in response, she was the type of person who was very indifferent to her own injuries that was why Victor came after Lily told her that Iriana had already come home and refused to be treated by Lily.
