After nearly thirty minutes of serving his fans' requests for a group photo, Fernando was finally free from the crowd of women who surrounded him. He then turned to Bruno and Adam, who were standing in front of the mall entrance. Fernando eyes narrowed when he couldn't find Viona between Bruno and Adam. 

"Why are you here, where is my wife?" Fernando asked, raising his voice when he reached Bruno and Adam's place. 

"Madame went to the toilet earlier and hasn't returned." Adam replied without guilt. 

"How long has she been gone?" Fernando asked again, while holding Adam's shoulder. 

"It's been twenty minutes, Sir," Bruno stuttered. 

Hearing Bruno's answer made Fernando immediately run to the ladies' restroom where Viona had gone in, based on Bruno's information before. When Fernando was about to enter, suddenly he was stopped by Bruno and Adam, who had caught up with him. 

"Let us look for Madame, Sir, you just wait here," said Bruno guiltily. 

"Get in quickly," Fernando replied in a rising voice. 

Without being ordered twice, Bruno and Adam went straight into the women's toilet. Not long after, several women screamed from the toilet when they entered. Fernando could only wait in front of the toilet anxiously. He then took out his cell phone and tried to contact Viona, but his call was not answered. 

"How is it? Did you two find my wife?" Fernando asked quickly when he saw Bruno and Adam came out of the toilet. 

"Sorry, Sir, we can't find Madame in there," Bruno and Adam both stammered, 

"Don't you guys see where my wife is going?!" Fernando asked in a rising tone full of anger. 

"Earlier, Madame said that she wanted to go to the toilet by herself and forbade us to escort her, Sir, so we are keeping guard at the front," Bruno replied with his head down. 

"But why do you just believe her? Isn't it your job to look after her? Now she's gone, hpw are you going to take the responsibility?" Said Fernando with fiery eyes. 

Bruno and Adam were silent and could not answer the question of the master. They felt guilty for neglecting their main duty to look after Viona. Seeing Fernando angry, Justin and Harry took the initiative to immediately find out Viona's position through the device they installed on her cell phone, but they again had to endure disappointment because apparently Viona had switched off her cell phone, so that Justin and Harry could not trace her whereabouts .

"Did you manage to find her?" Fernando asked Harry and Justin coldly, who were tracking Viona's whereabouts via their cell phones. 

"Sorry, Sir, we couldn't find the whereabouts of Madame, because she had switched off her cell phone," Justin replied quickly. 

"Then now how do we find my wife? You all know that she's pregnant right now," said Fernando with restraint irritation. 

"We will look for traces of Madame through the CCTV installed in this mall, Sir," Bruno and Adam replied quickly. 

"Hurry up and do it!!" Fernando's orders were cold. 

Bruno and Adam, feeling guilty for not being able to guard Viona properly, immediately ran to the CCTV control center in the mall. They hoped to find Viona's whereabouts through the CCTV screens installed in almost every corner of the mall. After Bruno and Adam left, Justin took Fernando to sit in a restaurant, waiting for a report from Bruno and Adam, while continuing to monitor his cell phone screen, hoping that Viona would activate her cell phone. 

Fernando sat in the restaurant feeling uncertain, because he did not know where Viona was. He did not understand why Viona suddenly disappeared even though before they had no problem. 

"What did I say wrong earlier?" Fernando murmured softly, as he tried to remember what he had said to Viona in the restaurant before. 

Justin and Harry could only keep quiet seeing Fernando panic, they both knew that the master was very worried about his son and wife at this time. The two of them continued to try to find Viona's whereabouts through their cell phone screens and contacted several bodyguards to join in looking for Viona's whereabouts. 

Not long after that, Bruno and Adam were seen running from the outside into the restaurant with their faces beaming. 

"Si-Sir, we have found Madame," Adam and Bruno said simultaneously while panting.

"Speak slowly, one by one!!" Fernando snapped in annoyance. 

"Apparently, Madame didn't really go to the toilet, she went out through the north door and went home by taxi," Bruno answered, showing his cell phone which contained the number plate of the taxi that Viona had stopped. 

"What do you mean, Bruno?" Justin asked confused, raising an eyebrow upward. Adam then explained in detail based on the CCTV footage he had seen in the control room. The CCTV footage clearly captured Viona just standing in front of the toilet looking out. She then turned around and walked towards the north door and stood in front of the mall and stopped a taxi whose number had been caught on CCTV cameras. When they called the taxi company to find out where the taxi was carrying Viona, they got the info that the taxi had apparently gone towards Fernando's mansion. 

"So my wife came home by taxi!!" Fernando said with an increasing tone, repeating Adam's story. 

"Yes, Sir," Adam replied confidently. 

"Well then we'll go home now," Fernando replied, standing up and walking toward the exit. 

All of Fernando's men immediately followed Fernando's steps. After they were in the car, Lukas immediately stepped on the gas pedal and drove the car to Fernando's mansion. In the car, Fernando was seen contacting Teddy to confirm Viona's whereabouts. Fernando's face, which had looked full of panic, gradually changed when he heard Teddy's explanation that Viona had just arrived home and had gone up to the room on the second floor. It took nearly thirty minutes for Fernando to finally get home. He got out of his car quickly as soon as the car door was opened from the outside. 

Fernando immediately went to his room on the second floor leaving all of his men still in the car. After entering the password, Fernando was finally able to enter his room and immediately saw Viona sitting on the sofa staring out the window. 

"Why didn't you tell me first that you've returned home, Honey?" Fernando said, as he walked slowly towards Viona, holding back his emotions that were already rising in his chest. 

"Actually, what do you think of me, Fernando?" Viona asked softly without turning to Fernando, who was walking toward her. 

"What do I think? Of course, you are my wife, Vio." Fernando replied with an elevated tone because he didn't like hearing Viona's words. 

"Then why don't you tell me what you are doing," Viona asked with a sharp gaze towards Fernando who was sitting beside her. 

"I don't understand what you're talking about. Try to speak clearly so that I can answer properly," Fernando replied quickly. 

Instead of answering her husband' question, Viona was crying. He did not understand why he could act like that. Even though earlier on the way back to the house, Viona had prepared a number of questions in her mind for her to ask Fernando, but when Fernando was in front of her, Viona couldn't speak. 

"Don't cry, Honey, if there is a problem, just say it, so I can understand what I did wrong. If you cry like this, how can I understand?" Fernando said quietly, trying to hold back his emotions. 

"Are you still lacking enough money, Fernando?" Viona asked softly. 

"What do you mean to speak like that?" Fernando asked back with a rising tone. 

"If you still have a lot of money then why do you have to run in elections in the coming period?" Viona said loudly. 

"Watch your words, Vio!! Money is not my main goal to become a member of the parliament, as you know my money is quite a lot, enough to be spent by my seven descendants later," Fernando replied emotionally because he was offended by Viona's words. 

"Then what is your goal to enter the world of politics? Are all you still lacking? Do you need more power so that you can easily control the entire city? So you can choose any woman you want ...." 

Slap! 

Viona could not finish his words because a hot slap landed on her left cheek. 

"Watch your words, Vio, I've been too patient with you all this time!!" shouted Fernando in a rising voice. "Never test my patience again, you just keep quiet and see what I'm doing without comment, because I don't need your advice. I have to get what I want," Fernando added while throwing the flower vase that was beside Viona roughly to the floor. 

Fernando then left the room emotionally, leaving Viona who was still bowed while holding her left cheek which had turned red and made an imprint on her face. 

"I don't want you to enter that world sob… am I wrong, Fernando? snort sniff… I just want to live quietly without having to live under pressure. I don't want to live a life like that ... ahhhh ...!" Viona couldn't finish her words because her stomach suddenly contracted.
