Part 190

"Also," Bryan paused, kissing Silvi's lips briefly.

"Don't forget that the night we were together, I can assure you, it's my child."

Silvi shook her head. "It's not Devin's child. Do you think after that night, I didn't do anything with other men? Did you really think that night was the only time someone touched me? No, there have been many other nights with so many men because I felt like I wasn't pure anymore. So I was free to do it with anyone since my life was already a mess."

"S-so... instead of slightly more ruining myself, and the last time it was done to me was by Devin. That's why he's willing to take responsibility. He's also convinced that this is his child."

Bryan let out a bitter laugh, releasing Silvi from his embrace. "Is that so?" He loosened his tie, which had felt suffocating after hearing Silvi's explanation. "Let's prove that what you said is true." He took off the suit jacket that clung to his body.

“W-what are you doing?” Silvi stepped back. Hugging her own body, afraid that Bryan would do something strange to her. Moreover, it was just the two of them, and the sound of music dominated the luxurious house.

Bryan grinned. "Proves that you have indeed sold your body to many men." Removing the last cover on his lower body.

Silvi tried to dodge, but Bryan hugged her faster. Picked him up and laid him on the bed.

“Shut up. If you are proven to have been touched by many men, I will leave and won't bother you anymore." Tidying Silvi's messy hair.

“Bryan, please. Don't be like this, I don't love you, so I beg you...let me go!” Silvi's eyes heated up when she felt Bryan ready to enter her body. Just like that night, when he forced Bryan to do it.

"I won't stop until I have you... You know, since that night I can't forget you, Sil," Bryan admitted honestly, as he buried himself in Silvi's body.

Silvi grimaced. His hands gripped Bryan's shoulders tightly, which he had been trying to push away.

"I will not let my child be harmed because of his mother's selfishness." One gentle stroke was done. Silvi rolled around, the pain and pleasure greeted him again. "Ask yourself, once again, is it really true that you want to marry Devin, even though I am the father of your baby."

Staring into Silvi's dark eyes, she gasped in pain and tightness because of his actions.

“I-I…”

"I will get you a divorce from Devin, and the world will admit that he is my child!" Bryan emphasized. Rubbing Silvi's stomach gently, before continuing the union between them.

Silvi was silent. Asking himself what he really wants and feels. Reconsider what Bryan said, because it was strange that Devin suddenly came and asked to get married. Between wanting to take advantage of his father's wealth and humiliating himself again, two things make more sense than suddenly falling in love.

Meanwhile, he rejected the figure of Bryan who was now enjoying his body, but only just. The proof was that the man easily made love to her. Even his body didn't resist at all. More likely to want to sigh than want to scream for help.

"I know you are the same as me. "You don't want to go far, it's just that your pride is too high and you always avoid me," Bryan whispered, without stopping the movement of his hips.

Silvi did not deny what Bryan said, because her body accepted it all. Her heart confirmed that she had received Bryan's attention all this time. Whether it's just coming to deliver lunch or fighting with flower shop customers who are not satisfied with the products offered.

Silvi also confirmed that marrying Devin was just following all selfishness and proving that she could marry her first love. However, not for Bryan, who could make her heart almost stop every time he was near her. So Silvi continues to listen to her heart and throw away all selfishness.

By bringing both hands to cup Bryan's cheeks. Staring closely at the sweaty face of the man who in the last few weeks has always come to take responsibility. In the next second, Silvi bit and sucked Bryan's open lips. Responding to what the man did, in response he went with him. Surrendering his life to Bryan, completely.

In between their lips touching, Bryan smiled. Happy because Silvi had given him the answer he wanted.

"Don't just talk and work, now explain to my mother that you are the father of my baby," whispered Silvi, when the corner of her eye caught the stunned figure of her mother in the doorway of the room. She couldn't speak when she saw her daughter on her wedding night with another man, while her husband was serving invited guests downstairs.

Bryan nodded. He kissed Silvi's lips for a long time. "Of course."

“Kamu kenapa senyum-senyum begitu?” Alesya beringsut duduk meskipun kepalanya benar-benar pusing, berdenyut saat ini.

Ia benar-benar penasaran kenapa sang suami tiba-tiba senyum tidak jelas saat ini.

"Here, I read a message from Bryan. No wonder he kept trying to reach out to me last night, claiming it was something important. I thought, what could it be? Turns out he's marrying Silvi today," Nicholas explained, in accordance with the message Bryan had sent him a few hours ago.

"Marrying Silvi? How is that possible?" Alesya couldn't believe that her ex-husband was getting married when, the last time they spoke, Bryan was planning to marry Viska, not Silvi.

As far as Alesya knew, Silvi had already married Devin. She had married her ex-boyfriend for the second time, and this fact contradicted what she had heard from Nicholas. Alesya also recalled that Bryan was supposed to marry Viska, which made her even more confused.

"Just two days in the village, and so many things have happened in the city," Alesya sighed, resting her head on Nicholas's arm.

Every morning, she felt like this. Nauseous, tired, and unable to do anything. Pregnancy symptoms were really taking a toll on her, as it was now.

Nicholas began to read the contents of Bryan's message, along with his expressions of happiness at finally being able to marry the love of his life. It was surprising, but that's what had happened.

"Nik, you better go home first. I can stay here for a few days, seeing how my condition progresses. If it's not stable, I might stay here, considering there are so many problems to deal with in the city. Especially now that Bryan is marrying Silvi, even though he had already made promises to Viska's parents. I'm sure there will be a lot of chaos, and it will drag my name into it," Alesya expressed.

She let out all her concerns to lighten her heart.

Nicholas nodded, agreeing with what his wife was saying. It was indeed better for Alesya to stay in the village. If she wanted to handle Bryan's issues in the city, he could return.

Upon further thought, people would undoubtedly blame Alesya for this situation. After all, as Bryan's ex-wife, she would always be dragged into any problems involving him.

"Are you okay staying here with Aunt and Uncle?" Nicholas asked.

"I'm fine, and believe me, I can take care of myself and our little one."

"I promise you, I'll come home as soon as the issues with Bryan are resolved, and as for my work in the city, I've delegated it to someone I trust. It might be time for me to take care of the branch restaurant we plan to open here. If you don't mind, this house could become our business location. What do you think?" Nicholas inquired.

"It's up to you, dear. I'll follow whatever you think is best for our family, especially for our future child."

Nicholas kissed Alesya's forehead and gently pressed his lips to hers. "I'll miss you dearly, my love. Take good care of yourself here. Don't stay up too late, and don't overwork yourself. Remember, there's a new life growing inside you." He caressed Alesya's still-flat stomach.

Alesya nodded, feeling the weight of Nicholas's departure. However, she understood that he had a family and a job in the city. Nicholas was doing his best to balance his time between her and his responsibilities.

"I know it's difficult, but I trust you to stay here with Aunt and Uncle," Nicholas reassured her.

Alesya appreciated his understanding and nodded again. She knew that Nicholas was capable of managing his time well.

Viska was furious upon hearing the news. She slammed her hand on the table, completely shocked that Bryan and Silvi were getting married.

"If he's getting married, what about me?" Viska shouted, throwing her phone onto the table. Her trusted source had given her infuriating news.

Viska felt hurt by the revelation. She had hoped that by marrying Bryan, she could get closer to Nicholas again. Fueled by anger, she decided to go to Silvi's house and disrupt the wedding, as Bryan was her supposed future husband.

With her emotions running high, Viska got into her car and navigated the streets to find Silvi's address. It was a bit challenging, but she eventually located the destination. Her anger intensified when she saw the crowd at Silvi's house.

"This wedding cannot proceed because Bryan is my future husband!" Viska yelled right after Bryan had finished reciting his wedding vows to Silvi.

"What do you mean?" Bryan rose from his seat, and everyone's attention turned to the provocatively dressed woman.

"Bryan is my future husband. I had planned our wedding. He was caught red-handed having relations with me in the park!"

"That's not true at all! I came to rescue you, but the people thought I was the one who did that to Viska," Bryan defended himself, not wanting to be blamed and held responsible for something he didn't do. He also didn't want to lose Silvi because of Viska's false accusations.

"What did you say? Because you've got a rich woman like Silvi, you dare to confront me, right?" Viska retorted, refusing to back down from Bryan.

"Watch your mouth, and don't involve Silvi's family, as they don't know about our situation. Besides, you married me because you wanted to break up Nicholas's marriage with Alesya," Bryan speculated, leaving Viska flustered.

"That's not true. I'm demanding accountability from you because I'm pregnant," Viska began weaving a story to ensure she could still marry Bryan, whether as his first or second wife. She didn't care; she just wanted to be his wife.

"Is it true that Bryan made you pregnant?" Silvi interjected, standing in front of Bryan, ready to defend her new husband.

Even though Silvi didn't have any feelings for Bryan, she couldn't have her husband attacked so brutally by a stranger like Viska. Silvi was convinced that Bryan couldn't have done such a thing in a public park, where anyone could see.

"Of course, and I have proof that I'm carrying Bryan's child," Viska claimed.

"Oh, really? Let's go to the hospital and check whether you're really pregnant, because I don't think a pregnant woman would look as vibrant and healthy as you do right now!" Silvi challenged Viska with astonishing facts.

As a young pregnant woman herself, Silvi knew the true condition of pregnant women, and Viska didn't fit the bill.

Viska was taken aback by Bryan and Silvi's firm words. She realized that her plan to disrupt the wedding had backfired, and the accusations she made against Bryan were falling apart. Silvi's wise advice began to penetrate her mind, making her question her actions and motives.

Silvi's heartfelt message about love and the importance of being with someone who truly cares touched Viska. She started to see the truth in Silvi's words, realizing that forcing someone into a marriage wouldn't bring happiness.

Bryan added fuel to the fire by mentioning that Gibran and Shabila were getting married and that Shabila was pregnant with Gibran's child. Viska couldn't believe her ears. She had thought of Gibran as a loyal husband, and now he was marrying someone else and expecting a child.

With a heavy heart and a lot to process, Viska left Silvi's house. She couldn't wait to confront her husband about the shocking news. Rushing to Gibran's office, Viska barged in without any hesitation, demanding answers.

Gibran, in the midst of a work discussion, was caught off guard by Viska's sudden appearance and her accusatory tone. He realized something serious must have happened for Viska to show up like this, especially considering their strained relationship.

He instructed his employee to leave the room, giving priority to his personal life over work for the moment. With Viska seated, he urged her to calm down and explain the reason for her outburst.

Viska took a deep breath, trying to compose herself. Her emotions were running high, and she knew she needed to explain everything to Gibran. She began to recount the events at Silvi's house, from the disrupted wedding to Bryan's accusations and Silvi's wise words.

Gibran listened carefully, his face changing from surprise to concern as he realized the extent of the turmoil in Viska's mind. He sighed deeply, realizing that their already fragile relationship had reached a breaking point.

He responded calmly, "Viska, it's true that Shabila and I are getting married, and she is indeed pregnant with my child. Our relationship had its ups and downs, and I made the decision to move on. Our marriage has been strained for a while now, and I believe it's time for both of us to find happiness separately."

Viska was devastated by the confirmation, but at the same time, a weight seemed to lift off her shoulders. The truth, even though painful, was better than living in a lie.
