Austin flashed his smile looking at the few sheets of paper he was holding. Just one more step, then his efforts will be over soon. What he had been waiting for all this time would soon be realized, "now, I just need to ask for his signature. Once that's done," murmured Austin.


...*...


"As I've talked about before if I wanted to ask for your autograph" Austin said as he landed his butt on the couch in the living room. Beside him Glenda sat down while listening. Austin put the file in his hand on the table, he thrust the pen he was carrying onto Glenda. "You can sign it, right?" Austin confirmed.


"Of course, it's not that hard. Where should I sign?" Glenda turned to the file on the table. Austin opened the file, there were several sheets of paper there that were stacked on top of each other with the top covered with plain white paper. "You don't have to read it, just sign it" Austin said.


"But what is this file, baby?" Glenda asked raising her brow next to a puzzled one. "It's just a regular office file, not really important. So you don't have to read it, just sign it." Austin smiled wryly at him.


"Well," said Glenda, who signed the dossier one by one under Austin's supervision. "Is there anything I need to sign again, baby?" Glenda asked as soon as she finished signing the papers Austin had requested. "There is no dear. Thank you for being willing to sign all this." Austin replied with a sweet smile.


"Not a problem, if there's another file. You just talk to me."


"Well, you don't have to worry." Austin grabbed Glenda by the shoulder and spread the woman's head to the chest of her field. A step further, he was already one step ahead and everything he had worked for so far was right before his eyes. He just had to wait for the right moment to end his relationship and carry out his final plan. Austin, now at Glenda's house, comes to collect the certificate, the company and other valuable assets belonged to Glenda and reversed the name so on her behalf without Glenda's knowledge, eventually now she just had to wait a little while until all her final plans were completely mature.

The door to his apartment read, Austin, who was just about to make breakfast, turned to look. The man sauntered towards the entrance to check who was visiting his place in the early morning like this. Arriving at the door, Austin opens the entrance and finds Anastasya standing there. As soon as the door opened, Anastasya spontaneously hugged her tightly. "Eventually the weekend comes too, I miss the times we spend together all day" whispered the woman in her ear. Austin broke his embrace staring at the woman in a very close distance. "You're so pretty today, baby." Austin stroked her hair. Without warning, Anastasya landed a kiss on Austin's lips to surprise the man.


"I'm beautiful, don't you realize it?" Anastasya walks into Austin's apartment. Threw the bag he was carrying back toward the sofa and walked towards the kitchen room. Austin, who was still there, turned to the woman who had just stolen a kiss from him. He raised the corner of his lips and then closed the door quietly without realizing the door was not closed properly. "You've made the mistake of starting it, miss." Austin approached Anastasya. Anastasya who realized Austin was chasing after him rushed to run.


"You won't be able to escape" Austin chased after him.


"Haha.you're the one who won't be able to catch me." Anastasya kept running.

Glenda asked the taxi driver to stop in front of the Austin apartment. He stepped out with a box of food he had made for Austin. It has been a long time since he visited Austin's apartment during the current weekend, especially Austin lately is so busy that the weekend alone does not have time to spend with him. The elevator door opened as soon as Glenda arrived on the floor where Austin was staying, she stepped out of the elevator. A short walk down the corridor until finally arriving at the door of Austin's apartment. Glenda was about to squeeze the bell that was there, but her attention had already been seized by a door that turned out to be unlocked and slightly opened, revealing a small gap. "Not in the lock?" Glenda grabbed her door knob and pushed it slowly.


"Austin, honey?" Glenda called his name. But there is absolutely no answer. Glenda stepped in slowly and closed the door slowly, there was no one there. It's so quiet, "weird, why is the door open? Did someone break in here?" Glenda felt something was wrong. Glenda stepped into her kitchen first, putting the food she was carrying on the table; the next second she stepped up to the second floor to check on Austin. While climbing the stairs, Glenda faintly heard a woman's voice coming from the direction of Austin's room, slowing down her footsteps. His heart suddenly hunted down, pounding incoherently with sweat that began to pour out from the pores of his skin.


Glenda approached Austin's slightly open door, unable to see clearly what was going on inside; but she could clearly hear the voice of the woman inside. Glenda was silent in her place, inexplicably Glenda felt quite familiar with the voice of the woman she heard. An uneasy feeling suddenly approached him as the voice grew clearer in his ears. Glenda swallowed her saliva with great difficulty, with trembling hands and an increasingly thumping heart; she pushed slowly the door before her until it moved and revealed clearly what was going on inside. Glenda was wide open, her eyes were round, her heart was racing, her breathing suddenly felt tight, and her body was instantly fixated petrified where she was right now, when he saw what was going on in there. Glenda's brain was still trying to process every single event she saw, it felt like a dream as she saw all of it right before her eyes. The man she loved and had been her fiance for three years, was making out on her bed with another woman, the worst of which was Anastasya; her best friend since she was in high school. They make out even without the cloth covering their bodies.


Glenda's two teary eyes endured the immense pain she felt now.
