"Okay. Then take him to the hospital. "See doctor Susi, Dad has arranged a schedule with him."

“What schedule?”

"Checking Alesya whether she is really your wife or not."

"She's menstruating, so she hasn't done anything yet."

"Menstruation? Wasn't that yesterday?"

“Just grumbling, Dad. No more."

"Well that's that then. "Then Dad will rearrange the appointment with Susi's doctor." Handoko ended the call before Bryan could answer.

It's really a situation that makes his head feel dizzy. Wanting to follow his father's wishes while accepting Shabila's offer, Bryan doesn't think Nicholas can do it. Maybe, before taking Alesya to the doctor of her father's choice, Bryan will first confirm whether Alesya is still a girl or not.

"Yes, I have, Sha. You meet Alesya and tell her you want to ask her to accompany you to the hospital. Dad needs that proof as soon as possible."

"Yeah, I'll take a shower first." Without caring about her condition, Shabila stepped into the bathroom. Bryan could only shake his head.

"Viska?" Alesya raised an eyebrow, seeing the name Viska calling Nicholas' phone.

For Alesya, the name Viska wasn't unfamiliar, but she was sure there were more than one or two people named Viska. Not wanting the woman named Viska to misunderstand, Alesya didn't answer the call. She let it ring until it stopped on its own.

"While you're at home, let's go!" Shabila urged.

Alesya looked up.

"Just like that. You don't need to get dressed up." Shabila reached for Alesya's wrist.

Alesya pulled away. "Do you have any manners at all? How can you just demand that I accompany you without asking for permission first? I don't like being treated like this."

"Tsk, don't talk too much!" Shabila reached out again and pulled Alesya along.

"Let go of me!"

Alesya still wanted to free herself.

"Just come along. Shabila just wants you to accompany her to the hospital to check if she's pregnant or not. Nothing more." Bryan interrupted. He was fastening the buttons on his wrist.

"No, I'm not Shabila's husband, so why should I go?"

"Go along, or our business is finished." Bryan slightly threatened to make Alesya quiet and obedient.

"What are you really planning? Treating me like this, taking all the important documents from my house."

"Just follow everything I want so you don't lose everything." Bryan turned around. "Just so you know, Al. You're lucky to be alive and living here. You get to eat and drink. Want..."

"Don't talk too much. Hurry up if you really want to take me."

Alesya shook off Shabila's hand and walked ahead. Instead of getting a headache listening to Bryan's words, it was better to just obey. She didn't want to go crazier because of Bryan's behavior. If Nicholas weren't around, she could be sure that all she would get was food and drink. There was no guarantee that Alesya could live peacefully as she was now. At most, she would be turned into a maid or something.

Inside the car, Bryan asked Alesya to sit in the back. He asked her to be quiet so as not to disturb him and Shabila. For the sake of her peaceful life, Alesya once again just followed along. She sat behind Shabila and looked out the window. Trying to play games on Nicholas' phone was futile because Viska kept sending messages. Trying to answer was pointless, but Alesya didn't want the person named Viska to get the wrong idea.

"Answer it first. The vibration from your phone is giving me a headache," Bryan protested. He was getting a headache from Alesya's vibrating phone.

"I can't answer it. This isn't my phone, it's Nicholas'." Alesya replied while looking at the phone in her hand.

"Who's it from?"

"Viska."

Bryan stopped the car. "Viska?" He muttered.

"What's wrong with you? Are you trying to kill me?" Shabila rubbed her chest. She was startled because Bryan suddenly stopped the car.

"Let me answer it."

Instead of responding to Shabila's complaints, Bryan tried to reach for the phone in Alesya's hand.

"No!" Alesya rejected him, lifting the phone out of Bryan's reach.

"It's Nicholas' privacy. You can't just interfere."

"Just give it to me quickly. I want to talk to Viska. There are many things about Nicholas in the past that you don't know. Please hand it over to me. I'm Nicholas' older brother. I'm still entitled to interfere in my brother's affairs. What about you?"

Alesya shook her head, still stubbornly refusing Bryan's request.

"Viska is Nicholas' ex-girlfriend. She's the one who made Nicholas change like this. She's also the one who destroyed all of my brother's dreams. So please hand it over; there are many stories I need to explain to her," Bryan explained. He really hoped Alesya would give Nicholas' phone to him.

"Just hand it over."

Without a word, Shabila took the phone from Alesya and handed it to Bryan.

Alesya, who was stunned, couldn't resist Shabila. Besides, she also wanted to know what Bryan wanted to talk about with the woman named Viska.

"Hello, Nicholas," a woman greeted. Her voice sounded so soft, as if she had just finished crying.

"Nik, where are you? I want to apologize to you. I regret many things after we separated. And just so you know, I never wanted to marry him. But my parents forced me because I had already slept with him. I'm pregnant, Nik."

"I'll hand over this phone to Nicholas. In about two hours."

"Bryan?" The woman named Viska immediately guessed who was answering her call.

"Yes, it's me. Nicholas' phone was left at home. Our housekeeper gave it to me. I'm taking my wife to the hospital to check whether we've been entrusted or not. After that, we'll deliver this phone to Nicholas. Before that, please tell me a little explanation so I can help a bit later," Bryan explained. Then he continued driving the car.

To ensure that Alesya could hear his conversation with Viska, Bryan deliberately activated the speakerphone on Nicholas' phone.
