Episode 1

"I'm sick. But don't worry. Work well without thinking about my condition. Trust me! I can take care of myself, Honey!"

A sigh was heard from a 24-year-old green-eyed girl who had just finished handing over two portions of pasta ordered by a customer to a waiter. Her mood suddenly turned bad even though the busy day had just begun. She felt uneasy knowing that her beloved was sick and didn't come to work today.

"Diana, what's wrong?" the head chef rebuked when he saw one of his subordinates who worked as a Saute chef or a chef specializing in handling complementary sauces looking distracted. Even though the kitchen wasn't too busy because the restaurant had just opened, the head chef still felt strange seeing the scene in front of him. Diana Steel daydreaming at work? No way. That's not Diana's character at all.

As far as the head chef knew, Diana was the most enthusiastic figure. The most passionate figure who barely knew fatigue. In fact, Diana was everyone's favorite because she was always able to spread positive energy to everyone.

"Nothing, Chef," Diana replied with a smile. She quickly put the phone that had been her focus back into her pants pocket.

"Is there a problem? Or is something happening?"

Diana shook her head. Trying to lie, but it seemed her facial expression couldn't cooperate.

"Do you want to ask for permission to go home?"

"May I?" Without realizing it, Diana replied enthusiastically. To be honest, if allowed, she would only ask for permission for two hours. Just to visit her fiance and bring food and medicine. After that, she would return to work and even be willing to work overtime.

The head chef laughed seeing Diana's innocent reaction. This is the girl he knows. Always straightforward about her desires and feelings.

"Sorry, Chef!" Realizing she was too enthusiastic, Diana immediately apologized.

"Take it easy, Di! If you want to ask for permission to go home, go ahead! But, finish the 4 orders that are waiting first," said the head chef while pointing at 4 papers containing orders that were posted in front of the order reception area.

"Yes, Chef!" Diana replied while saluting the head chef. The blue-eyed man just laughed heartily. Raising both thumbs before leaving to supervise the work of the other chefs.

With dedication, Diana started cooking spaghetti sauce and quickly served it perfectly. Even though she couldn't wait to surprise Gerald, Diana still tried to focus and ensure that the taste of the food she served to customers remained delicious and appetizing. In fact, the head chef always praised Diana's sauce.

******

Arriving at Gerald's flat, Diana entered just like that because the door was never locked by Gerald when he was there. Diana's smile widened as she looked at the food she brought in a plastic bag she was carrying. However, Diana stopped right in front of Gerald's room when she saw the man was exchanging sweat with a woman Diana knew so well.

"Ah...Ah...Ah...," that wild ****** filled Diana's hearing sense. The girl even almost threw up the contents of her stomach because she was so disgusted.

Vanya, Diana's best friend, was the woman who was with Gerald. Without thinking, the food that Diana brought was thrown hard at the two humans who were only covered by a thin blanket. Both of them were immediately startled when they saw Diana there staring at them full of hurt and hatred.

"Di?" Vanya whispered with a pair of eyes that widened perfectly. Gerald jumped agilely to grab his pants that were lying under the bed. Meanwhile, his cheating woman could only tighten the blanket covering her naked body.

Diana didn't answer the call. Without thinking, she quickly approached the woman she loved like a sister and then vented her deep disappointment.

"You j*Lang woman! How could you!" Diana said angrily while yanking Vanya's long hair.

"Forgive me, Di! Don't hurt me," Vanya said tearfully. The woman felt all wrong. She wanted to release Diana's hand from her hair, but still had to maintain the thin blanket that was her only body wrapping.

"I've considered you like a sister, Vanya! I even let you live in my house for free all this time. But what's the reward, huh? Is this how you thank someone who already loves you?"

Slap! Diana's slap landed on the cheek of the woman who always looked innocent. Even until this moment, Vanya's innocent face was still perfectly attached.

"Stop, Diana! Don't hurt Vanya!" Gerald said while pushing his future wife hard to defend his mistress. The man who had just managed to put on his boxer shorts then dragged Diana roughly out of the room and then slammed his fiance's body onto the cold floor just like that.

Diana couldn't believe what she had just witnessed. Gerald turned out to be more defensive of Vanya than her who was the fiance of the man. In fact, their dream wedding would take place in a month. However, today everything was destroyed. The dream was just a bitter memory.

"Hah! So, you defend her more than me?" Diana asked after managing to get back up. Her beautiful green eyes stared full of anger. Making the love that Gerald could always see clearly now turn bleak.

"Vanya didn't do anything wrong, Di. I started everything. I fell in love with her first." Gerald tried to explain the situation.

"Then, what do you think of me, Gerald? I'm your future wife, but you dare to cheat on me with my own best friend? And Vanya, aren't you my best friend? Even if Gerald likes you, don't you intend to reject or stay away from him? He's your best friend's fiance, Vanya," Diana shouted at the end of the sentence. Vanya was still silent in the room. The woman still didn't dare to move anywhere. She even trembled greatly when Vanya's shouts echoed expressing her anger.

"You're scaring Vanya, Di! Go home! Let's talk about this later." Once again, Gerald only thought about Vanya's feelings. That made Diana even more devastated. For a moment, Diana was just silent. Trying to neutralize the raging feelings while staring sadly at the warm soup that ended up spilling on the bed because she threw it earlier.

"Since when?" The question slipped out while trying to hold back sobs. It was enough that she humiliated herself in front of a man like Gerald. She didn't need to make a lot of fuss anymore. All she needed to know was when they committed this cruel betrayal.

Gerald bowed his head for a moment. "It's been going on for 6 months. Since... You always decide to work overtime and don't have time to be with me anymore."

Hearing the answer from the mouth of the traitorous man, Diana laughed wryly. "You forgot because of whom I have to work hard, huh? It's because of you! If you weren't cheated by bogus investments, I wouldn't have to constantly work overtime at work to pay off debts that you said you couldn't bear yourself, Gerald. I didn't even mind when you said you couldn't help me pay off the debt anymore because your sister also needed a lot of money for school fees. I understand. I understand very well even though I have to keep my fatigue to myself. But, it turns out, I was blatantly cheated. You don't want to pay your debt anymore because there's that cheap woman you're paying for. Right?" Diana exclaimed overflowing.

Gerald was silent. The man just bowed his head silently. "And you!" Diana pointed at Vanya who was standing frozen in front of the bedroom door. The woman was now wearing her tight dress even though she wasn't wearing underwear. "I've been kind enough to accommodate you and feed you all this time. I don't mind if you're lazy to work. But, is this how you repay me? You cheap woman!"

Vanya's eyes widened hearing the insults that came out of Diana's mouth. It seemed that the woman with wavy blonde hair was very unacceptable. She then stepped closer to Diana. Intending to slap Diana but instead she was the one who got slapped.

"Stop, Diana!" Once again, Gerald tried to push Diana. However, this time the girl felt more ready. She wasn't pushed even a little, on the contrary, she again grabbed Vanya's long hair and slapped the woman's face repeatedly.

BUGH!

Because he was overwhelmed with breaking up the fight, Gerald finally punched Diana's face without realizing it. His fiance immediately stepped back while holding the corner of her lip that was torn and releasing a red, fishy-smelling liquid.

"You bastard, Gerald!" Diana winced who instead of stopping even more blindly. This time, her target wasn't just Vanya. However, her br*engsek fiance also became the target of blows that had not been sharpened for a long time. Yes, Diana is a black belt holder in Muay-Thai. So, the matter of beating people up was once a common thing for her.

After almost 15 minutes of making Gerald battered, Diana ended her rampage with a sigh of relief. Vanya was seen cowering in the bedroom door. Since earlier, she had only been trying to save herself without wanting to know how Gerald's condition was which was no different from a punching bag in Diana's hands. In fact, Gerald's two front teeth were knocked out.

"You want some too?" Diana asked when she saw Vanya's gaze looked frightened seeing Gerald's two teeth that had just been spat out by the man.

Quickly, Vanya shook her head. Her grip on the door leaf tightened even more.

"You two listen! From now on, I don't want to have any relationship with you anymore." Diana stared at the two adulterers sadly. "You tempting woman!" She pointed at Vanya. "Take all your things immediately from my house. And you, you ungrateful man," her index finger switched to Gerald who was still writhing in pain. "Starting today, we have no relationship whatsoever. And, the matter of your debt, you pay it off yourself starting today."

"What do you mean by not having a relationship?" Gerald asked with wide eyes.

Diana grinned. "Our wedding is off. I don't want to marry a treacherous man like you."

"You don't have the right to decide on your own, Di. What will my parents say later?" Gerald said while holding back the pain under his jaw.

"I don't care. Just marry your mistress."
