Part 82

82

"Okay, let's just meet him after that and then I can rest in peace," he complained, getting out of bed. Of course, after Vano pulled away and allowed himself to move.

"It turns out that it also hurts when I'm taken to the ground," said Alexa when she realized there were changes in her body. He also immediately turned to the bed sheet which was a silent witness to his and Vano's battle last night

.

At first I was shy. After that, they can both enjoy this delicious game. Alexa also saw bloodstains still remaining on the bed sheets. Her cheeks immediately turned red seeing the evidence that she was still intact as a girl.

"Yeah, this is a mess, I'll just clean it up later, Van. Don't let Auntie enter this room. It's nothing, I really don't like strangers intruding on my personal space. Because for me, that room is a place that cannot be touched by just anyone except with my permission."

Vano nodded his head. "Anything for you, wife," he teased, before carrying Alexa into the bathroom.

She screamed a little because Vano suddenly carried her to the bathroom, making Alexa even more embarrassed because Vano's sweet treatment was able to make her fly high into the clouds.

Alexa gave Vano a stern warning before they entered the bathroom. She emphasized to Vano that when they go in, they would actually be taking a shower because she didn't want Celine lingering between them. She also felt uncomfortable about Carlos and Chelsea because Celine was continuously disrupting the newlyweds just to prove whether their marriage was real or just a drama.

Vano readily agreed to Alexa's words. In fact, he finished first and grabbed a towel from the closet. The sound of a knock on the door made Vano uneasy. He hurried to the door, ready to scold whoever was on the other side.

"Turns out it's Auntie. I thought it was Celine."

"No, Miss Celine is waiting for Mas in the living room. Auntie came here to tidy up Mas Vano's room."

Vano shook his head. "No need, Auntie. Because this room is now Alexa's private area. She asked me to tell you not to enter without her permission. And for the dirty laundry, Alexa will decide whether she'll handle it herself or ask for Auntie's help."

Vano patted his house assistant's arm. "Auntie doesn't need to worry about me and this room because I already have a wife to take care of everything."

The house assistant hugged Vano and patted his back. "Auntie is touched by Mas Vano's words. Auntie didn't expect the little boy who used to run away when Auntie tried to feed him would grow up and have a wife. May Mas Vano always be happy with Miss Alexa, and she is truly heaven-sent to make Mas's life happier than before."

"Thank you, Auntie, and thank you for taking care of me so well, for being a mother to me, and looking after me as if I were your own son. Alright then, Auntie, please go downstairs. We'll follow shortly. Oh, by the way, how is Daddy? Has he woken up?"

"Yes, Mas. Sir and Miss have been awake for a while. They were the ones who asked Miss Celine to come here and wake up Mas Vano and Miss Alexa."

"Alright, in that case, Alexa and I will get ready," Vano said after seeing Alexa come out of the bathroom.

Carlos immediately got up from his seat when he saw Alexa and Vano coming downstairs. He also guided Chelsea to leave them alone. For now, Carlos didn't want to interfere in their matters. He would let Vano handle his issues first.

If necessary, Carlos would use his own methods. He did all this to help Vano mature in handling problems in his marriage.

"What more do you want to ask me, Celine? I've explained to you many times that I'm married and have a wife now. You've met my wife, Alexa." He glanced at Alexa, who was sitting beside him.

Alexa just smiled, knowing that saying too much wouldn't be of any use. She knew Celine was a stubborn and hard-hearted person, so Alexa didn't want to get too involved in the conversation between Celine and Vano.

"I can't accept all of this because I love you very much, Van. Can our long-standing relationship end like this just because of family issues? Don't you feel sorry or compassionate towards me?"

"Is that all you have to say?" Vano retorted. He chuckled slightly, responding to Celine's words as if she was downplaying the death of his mother, which shattered his and his father's world into pieces. For ten long years, Vano had witnessed the destruction wrought upon his father. For ten years, he had lived without the presence of a mother, and now Celine was belittling it all? Naturally, Vano's hatred towards Celine grew stronger.

"Do you think that when we get married, my mother will rise from the grave and come back to life? Of course not. And I can't understand why you always trivialize the significant issues caused by both your father and yourself. Your father casually took my mother's life just because my father won a contract he coveted. There were many ways your father could have sought revenge for his failures, but instead, he took away the only light in this house.

As for you, you readily accused Chelsea and claimed that I had a relationship with her when she has always prioritized our interests. To the point where her marriage and my father's almost ended because, when she was honest about her true intentions, it was to marry my father. So what has all this achieved? None of it has been able to melt your heart into gratitude towards Chelsea. And now you want me to marry you, a girl who has never understood me and has been the source of my family's downfall?"

Alexa reached for Vano's hand and held it, giving her husband strength. Even though Vano could speak so loudly without showing his devastation, Alexa could somehow sense that there was a gaping wound in his heart.

As a wife, her instincts kicked in quickly. She wanted to calm Vano down, so he wouldn't lose control and reveal how broken he truly felt. Alexa wished her presence could erase all the wounds Vano carried. Her decision to start a family with Vano had indeed been the right one, allowing her to be by his side as his wife.

No one could stop Alexa when she wanted to be Vano's support.

Celine couldn't hold back her tears upon hearing Vano's words. "Does this mean we really can't be together anymore?"

"How can I reunite our relationship when a marriage only requires one wife? Do you understand my point now?" Vano asked.

Celine nodded her head. Of course, she understood Vano's words, which confirmed that Alexa was already his wife and that there was no turning back.

Celine struggled to contain her tears, not wanting Vano to see her completely shattered. When she had visited Vano in his room earlier, she had clearly seen that Vano had indeed married Alexa. Maybe their marriage had been sudden and attended only by certain people, so not many knew that Vano and Alexa were now officially husband and wife.

"If you don't mind and don't have any plans, can you come to our wedding reception, which will be held the day after tomorrow?"
