Despite being suspicious of Lexi, he didn't want his wife to find out."Are you being honest to Cassandra? I'm not feeling well but I also don't want anyone to interfere with Jessica and Lexi's wedding,” Mrs. Anna said. She didn't know when Jessica and Lexi's wedding would be officially announced.“No Ma, we better obey Lexi and Jessica at this time! Later when Jessica is really pregnant we will announce the wedding officially soon! How?” Mr. Samuel was pleased.“Well, I will keep it a secret from Cassandra!" Mrs. Anna said. She had talked to Lexi about what she was going to tell Cassandra about Jessica but Lexi forbade it.“When are you going to Bali?"

Why doesn't she live in an orphanage anymore? Where is Jessica now? Who was the man who picked up Jessica! You really have to tell me!” Beryl was obviously very angry. He was angry with Chelseq and Jessica. His two friends acted as if they were keeping something very big secret.“I, I have no right to tell you. Let Jessica tell you by herself," Cassandra softly lowered her head to signal to Beryl not to ask her anymore.“Then tell me where Jessica is now! I have to meet him now!" Beryl glanced at the watch in his hand that was already show
Chapter 35I am Jealous“Am I Jealous?"Jessica asked herself. Her hands moved to throw away the blanket that covered her body. Although the air conditioner was on, her body felt hot when she remembered Lexi gave attention to Cassandra. It made her head feel dizzy. “No, I'm not jealous!" She refused it.Then, she went to pick up her phone whose battery was actually low. It turned out that there were dozens of messages from Chelsea that came in. Jessica immediately called Chelsea."Hello!” Chelsea said across the phone."Chelsea, I have something to ask you!"Jessica was reckless. She had never felt that annoying feeling before."What's up Jess? Emm— Where are you staying?" Chelsea interrupted. Beryl had arrived in Bali, on the same plane as Cassandra. Beryl was still at the airport because he didn't know where to go to find Jessica."I'm at Avaya Resort," she replied wondering.“What is the room number?" Chelsea urged. It was a pity that Beryl didn't get to meet Jessica.“406!”“Beryl
Chapter 36PRESTIGE“Open the door Jessica!" Lexi shouted as she knocked on the hotel room door.Jessica did not answer. She was scared. She thought Lexi was angry for no reason. Well, if he could be free to be alone with Cassandra, why was he mad at her because she walked with Beryl."Open the door now or I will break this door," Lexi threatened.Jessica opened the door. Without waiting, Lexi got into her room.“Is something wrong?"Jessica asked with trembling lips. She didn't know where her mistake was.“No, nothing! I just don't like you walking alone with Beryl, you could be in danger!” Lexi answered."Danger? Beryl's been my friend since childhood! I'm close to him and I'm sure Beryl has no evil intentions towards me!” Jessica refused his opinion. She shook his head not liking the accusation that Lexi had just uttered.“Yes, evil intentions no one knows!" Lexi answered. He only wanted to see Jessica jealous, but he himself was burning with jealousy just because Beryl was holdi

One hand covered her mouth hiding her facial expression.Beryl ended the video recording on his phone. “Sit here, please,” he asked Jessica to sit next to him.Jessica sat down, close to Beryl.“Did you sleep well last night? I can't sleep because I keep thinking about you," Beryl said.Jessica was speechless, she shook her head slowly.Beryl continued to look at Jessica. Lexi Ricardo? Who is that man? His name was still very unfamiliar to his ears, but the man managed to become his rival in just one of their meetings. Who is he? Why did Jessica obey and was afraid of him?“I've asked, and Chelsea still don't want to answer!" Beryl was disappointed. “Now , you have to explain what really happened?”
Chapter 38 Runaway!In Soekarno Hatta airport waiting room.After two hours of air travel, Jessica and Beryl arrived in Jakarta. They were sitting waiting for a taxi.Jessica had been quiet ever since. She didn't say any word. It was because she didn't want to make Beryl sad, but she was aware. I liked Lexi. Yes, there was no way she was sad, angry, and disappointed to see Cassandra out of Lexi's room. If so, she had no feelings for her husband.“Who is Lexi Atmaja?" Beryl asked. At least, he should know the reason why the man could bond with Jessica. 'That man must be in a relationship with you, Jessica! You wouldn't cry because of a stranger, right?' he thought.Silent.Disappointment, anger, and sadness combined in her heart.“Tell me, Jess! Who is Lexi Atmaja? Why is he always around you? Why did you go to Bali with him? Why are you crying about him? Tell me why?” Beryl urged. He was angry, but could only wait for Jessica to tell him everything.The incident last night and Jess

About twenty minutes ago, the only plane to Singapore boarded.Without wasting any more time, Lexi immediately left the airport. There was nothing he could do but wait for Beryl to arrive in Singapore. The wife was not carrying a phone. The wife's old gadget was still in his hands."Jessica!” Lexi said.

She was trying to touch the waterfall from the small river below."That's a really cool waterfall, honey."She slowly climbed down and joined the other visitors there. Submerging half of her body, with Lexi's guard of course."Indeed, the water here is famous for being clear and the waterfall is also very beautiful and cool.

I mean... we've never done a hike before and I'm also pregnant” Jessica protested."Take it easy, honey. We're not going to climb it. We're just enjoying the waterfall like I said at the time."

I think from the direction we're going, I know where you're taking me."Gazing at the streets they were passing, Jessica could already guess where they were headed."That villa, right? The place where you first kidnapped me!" Jessica exclaimed quickly, coinciding with Lexi's car entering the Villa area."You're right, dear. For the next week, we'll be staying here. As a gift from me to you, before you give birth to our child.""Really?"Lexi nodded quickly. "Of course. I'll take you to a waterfall quite far from here, but I promise I won't tire you out.
