Chapter 3
Lexi was impatient to read the girl's profile from Arsene. He wanted to immediately meet and realize his wish for the girl.
Lexi's thumb moved swiftly, calling the number that had just texted him.
"Good evening sir!" Arsene said politely.
"Where are you? Bring her profile right now!" Lexi urged impatiently. He couldn't wait until tomorrow morning.
"But, sir–" Arsene protested that he didn't keep the soft copy because Lexi always preferred the hard copy.
"I don't like rejection!" Lexi said.
"Yes sir, wait a minute!" Arsene said. "I'll take the document to your apartment right now," Arsene said, who had just arrived at his house.
"No, you don't! Just send the file! I know you're very tired! Just send it by chat," Lexi explained. His secretary wasn't a Superhero or a Superman who could work twenty-four hours.
"Yes sir! Thank you!" Arsene said. Now he was able to breathe a sigh of relief. After sending the file, he enjoyed a warm bath, drank hot chocolate and then went to sleep beside his wife and his one year old child.
"Send it immediately!"
"Yes sir!”

Lexi looked closely at Jessica's profile. He swallowed. His body's reaction when he came into contact with Jessica replayed in his mind. The man couldn't hold it in anymore. He really wanted to meet her.
‘Jessica tonight I have to meet you. I will never let you go,’ he thought.
Lexi came out of his room, grabbed warm clothes and car keys.
"Mr. Lexi, where are you going? Mrs. Anna forbids you to go out alone at night!" one of the housemaids asked. Mrs. Anna had been sent maids to watch over Lexi.
"I'm only going for a while! Don't tell my mom!" Lexi ordered. He put on his shoes and got out of the apartment.
He got into the elevator. Lexi was going to the basement where he parked the car.
The elevator door opened.
Lexi stepped out, he reached for his cell phone in his trouser pocket. He opened a directions app. He was going to Mother's Love Orphanage.
The man sat behind the wheel. He put the phone on the stand that is on the dashboard of the car. Next, he started the car's engine and started to drive his four-wheeler out of the basement.
‘Jessica, I will come to you’
‘Please wait!’
Lexi kept stepping on the gas pedal. He drove the car at full speed. The streets were quiet because it was raining. He glanced at the clock on his watch for a moment. He would arrive at his destination soon.
Shit…
Lexi stopped his car in front of a simple building. In front of him, there is a building board that says "Mother's Love Orphanage". The man glanced around, there was a very quiet atmosphere. It was still drizzling, making it reluctant to get out of his car. Because he really wanted to meet Jessica, Lexi decided to get out of the car. He spread his umbrella and started to walk to the gate of the orphanage.
He was still silent, hesitating to sneak when he saw the front porch was deserted. However, curiosity kept Lexi from walking. He opened the unlocked gate and pushed his way through, going inside.
Arriving on the terrace, Lexi immediately rang the bell. There was only Jessica on his mind.
It wasn't until Lexi pressed the bell three times that a middle-aged woman came out and opened the door.
"Please sit down!" she asked. She looked at the guest in wonder. It was strange to have never seen one before, and also because it was evening for anyone to visit.
"Excuse me, Sir, can I help you?" Mrs. Grace, who is one of the caretakers at the orphanage asked.
"My name is Lexi! I'm here because I want to meet Jessica!" Lexi said.
"Jessica?" Mrs. Grace murmured quietly. "Please, sit down," she was pointing to a wooden chair on the veranda.
Lexi sat down, as did the middle-aged woman who opened the door for him.
"What brought you here to meet Jessica?" the woman investigated.
For a year, Jessica had no male friends. She rarely has friends, especially the opposite sex. Her close friends are only Beryl and Chelsea who live with their foster parents now.
"This afternoon, I forgot to bring my wallet and Jessica paid the bus fare for me!" Lexi lied. He was good at making up stories when he didn't know how to talk at this time.
"Oh I see!" Mrs. Grace nodded in understanding.
"I only intend to return the money," Lexi explained.
"Jessica isn't home yet, she'll be home soon. Jessica works at the restaurant from noon at one o'clock and comes home at nine at night. She'll be home soon! Wait here, let me make you a hot tea," Mrs. Grace said kindly. She didn't smell a rat.
"No need ma'am, I'm leaving now so I'll be here again tomorrow," Lexi said. He immediately got up from his seat.
"Jessica will be home soon!" said Mrs. Grace said to preventing her guest from leaving.
However, Lexi still chuckled leaving the veranda of this simple building. He immediately got into the car and waited for his prey.
Now Lexi was in the car. He looked towards the entrance hall, waiting for Jessica to come. Sure enough, it wasn't long before he saw a girl walking in the drizzle. She used a briefcase to cover her head. Yes, that's Jessica.
Like a hero Lexi got out of the car and took the umbrella. Then, he stopped in front of Jessica, blocking this girl's steps.
"Come with me!" Lexi offered.
"Sorry, who are you?" Jessica asked surprised.
"We have a problem to solve!" Lexi threw his umbrella back and pushed Jessica against the car door.
"Sorry, who are you?" Jessica asked both of her eyes looking straight at the unfamiliar face that was currently in front of her. It was very close, no more than five centimeters.
"I'm Lexi!" Lexi said with pride.
"Mr. L..." Jessica didn't finish her sentence because Lexi had put their lips together. Jessica's eyes were perfectly rounded because Lexi was not just touching her lips but he was also kissing her wetly ,deeply, and repeatedly.
Jessica tried to break free and struggled, but all in vain. Lexi's burly body didn't move at all. The burly body still controlled her freely. Lexi kissed her. He enjoyed kissing her lips.
Lexi kept kissing Jessica's lips, hoping to wipe the red lipstick off her lips. That way he could feel satisfied and not expect more.
The man looked at Jessica's lips.
He was observing Jessica's red lips. Instead of lipstick being removed, Jessica's lips looked more tempting because they were wet.
Lexi kissed her again and again.
Jessica kicked Lexi's leg, then hit him in the eye, and pushed hard against the man in front of her. Then, she just ran away. She felt very scared.
CHAPTER 4That morning, Lexi arrived at work without being picked up by his secretary. He came earlier than his secretary. His unexpressed sexual desire made him restless all night. He actually decided to sleep in his office.The fourteenth floor of the Ricardo Group building is his office where he works and makes big decisions that have an impact on the company and the employees he leads.He drank a cup of espresso coffee. However, the anger in his heart did not lessen.His office door opened. Arsene with a cheerful expression entered Lexi's office."Good morning sir! It looks like you were so excited this morning! Woow, what happened to your eyes?" Arsene asked, he was surprised because he saw Lexi's blue eyes."Bring Jessica here right now! Then take her to my apartment right now!" Lexi ordered."Sir did you forget? Today there is a schedule with an architect from Singapore who ..." Arsene stopped speech."Don't argue with me. Bring Jessica to me right now!" Lexi shouted."Yes sir!
Chapter 5Ronald escorted the girl who was still unconscious to a villa building owned by the Ricardo family. That is a two-storey building, with strong and tall pillars.When he got there, there were two maids who greeted him."Please, take this girl to the master bedroom, Master Lexi will be here right now!" Ronald ordered as directed by Arsene."Is this girl Mr. Lexi's future wife?" the younger maid asked."Sssttt!" The maid, who was the older maid and senior guard at this villa, put a finger to her lips as a gesture for her niece to be quiet. It's impolite to want to know Lexi's life."Quickly take this girl!" Ronald's voice rose to make the female servant immediately take the young girl to the main room which is on the second floor.Ronald immediately reached for his cell phone. Then he immediately contacted Arsene."Hey," Arsene said to Ronald."Yups" Ronald answered."What else?" Arsene, who was currently on his way home, asked. Today he was quite dizzy by Lexi's desire."Targe
Chapter 6Arsene snorted in mad, even on weekends he still couldn't enjoy his quiet day off. "Vania, my wife, I have to go for a while! Sorry!" he said regretfully."It's okay, this is your job and it's a risk because I'm willing to be your wife!" Vania said. Arsene's sudden work had been a frequent occurrence. This was nothing new for them."I have to go, honey!" Arsene kissed his wife's forehead then immediately left the house.That same night Mr Kasim returned to the orphanage. Arsene was already there with one billion in cash along with a statement saying that Mr Kasim would never come again and disturb the ownership of the orphanage."Deal, I agree!" Mr Kasim said. He signed the letter then he left.Mrs. Grace and the other caretakers of the orphanage smiled happily. They could breathe easy. Not only that, the orphans who were initially upset are now smiling happily again. They were glad they could still be able to live there."Come with me!" Lexi who was currently standing behin
Chapter 7Lexi woke up first. He blinked, then he looked at the clock on the desk, it was still two o'clock in the morning. There was the sound of breathing from the woman sleeping beside him.The man felt happy. He smiled as he remembered the bed scene with Jessica.He lay back down and accidentally touched Jessica's hand. Lexi was excited again.He looked at Jessica who was still fast asleep. She has natural thick eyebrows, curly eyelashes, a sharp nose, dimples and seductive red lips.'Jessica you are innocent, the one who is guilty is me! I have never been passionate when I see and touch any woman, even when I touch Cassandra. But I really want to make love to you even when I just touch you. From now on you are mine! I will not let you go away from me Jessica,' he thought.Lexi got up, he sat down and looked at Jessica's body. To be honest he wanted to do it a second time on this girl. However, when he saw that this girl's eyelids beside him were still wet with tears, Lexi suppres
CHAPTER 8THE OTHER SIDELexi slowly laid Jessica's body on the bed while he trying to guess what the girl was thinking through her shady eyes. "Wait a minute, I'll have Parti and maid to prepare breakfast for you! All those clothes in wardrobe are yours”. Lexi looked the other side. He didn't like the look of Jessica, who was afraid of him. His lips trembled because of the cold.Jessica didn't answer cause she was mad then let Lexi into bathroom.Jessica looked around the room. She was curious about where Lexi put the key. If she could find the key then she could leave the room immediately.Jessica didn't see it. All the windows that were in the room couldn't be opened from the inside. Jessica needed to break the glass if she wanted to escape through the window.She was about to give up then sat down. She got a bad feeling from the sight of the crazy man will get tortured again.Ting..Her eyes sparkled when she got the key hanging on the door. It turns out that Lexi didn't hide it.
CHAPTER 9RESPONSIBILITYMrs. Anna was enjoying a cup of warm chamomile tea. She sat down and looked at the fashion magazine given by Cassandra. Suddenly her cell phone rang. There was a call from the girl."Hello!" Mrs. Anna was bringing the phone closer to her right ear."Hello, Anna, this is Cassandra. I want to ask you something" Cassandra said on the phone.“Yes, what?" Mrs. Anna said.“I couldn't reach Lexi on the phone since last night, is he at home?" Cassandra asked. Sunday night, she and Lexi were supposed to meet again."As usual Lexi is not at home! He's always in his apartment! Maybe he's still sleeping. It might be he turned off the phone" Mrs. Anna answered. She shook his head, lest this time she lost a perfect future daughter-in-law like Cassandra."Oh well, I'll try to call him later. Happy weekend, Thank you Anna" Cassandra said. Lexi made her very upset.The phone call ended.Mrs Anna took a sip of tea from her glass. Then, she focused back to the phone screen cause
CHAPTER 10 MARRIAGE? Samuel Ricardo is the husband of Mrs. Anna and father of Alex. After receiving a call from his wife, he followed her to the villa. "What's wrong?" the man asked breaking the silence of the living room. He looked at everything in the room one by one. There were Alex, Jessica, and Mrs. Anna. They were sitting quietly busy with their respective thoughts. Obviously Alex couldn't doing something. He didn't like this kind of atmosphere. "Look! Alex doesn't want to take responsibility! Your son won't marry Jessica," Mrs. Anna told her husband even though she knew it was useless. Since Alex's first wife, Anita died, he had never wanted to hear the advice from not only his mother, but also his father. "What am I responsible for? I've spent a lot of money on my one night stand with that girl! After all, nowadays there are many girls out there who have that relationship freely," Alex said relaxed without feeling the slightest guilt. He felt that he got entitled to what he

He was waiting a call from his parents who asked him to go home. Jessica was still in the main house. Unfortunately, he couldn't meet the girl until he was ready to get married.It's not that I don't want to marry Jessica, but there was a sense of trauma and fear inside Lexi. He was very scared. He was afraid that it would happen again. When she saw his late wife, Anita had been lying stiff on the bathroom floor because she scratched her wrist. It was a terrible memory that he couldn't forget."Shit!"Lexi said.Jessica's face, soft fingers

Strangely even though it hurts, Jessica's lips were still smiling. they couldn't wait to meet the baby soon."What are you thinking honey, you look gloomy lately is something bothering you?"

Chapter 233 enYou and I.Not wanting to just admire, Jessica stood between the rocks that were there. 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. So that many tourists from within and outside the country come to this place. Swim. I will take care of you." Lexi was like a tour guide guiding her clients. He certainly wouldn't mind doing that.Maybe this was the last place they visited while in Bogor. Because it's likely that in two days the two of them would return home and return to life as usual.Their traveling in Bogor made Jessica even more convinced that Lexi loved her so much. This cold man really gave his whole heart to live life with Jessica.Lexi learned many things during their time togeth

Jessica and Lexi are getting ready to take their romantic journey through the beauty of Bogor to fulfill all existing discourses.Both Lexi and Jessica, they both wore warm clothes. Even though the weather wasn't too extreme, they were on guard considering that the air temperature recently rose and fell unpredictably.“Today we are going to a mountain with a waterfall. The mountain is also much hunted by tourists. I'm sure you'll like it later.” Lexi gave a statement."Isn't that too extreme? 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." Lexi said that softly to his wife.“Well, I'm very interested in visiting it with you, darling. Let's leave immediately. I'm sure the place we are going to visit now will be no less interesting than the zoo
Chapter 231 enOur love.Lexi's best morning version, of course, was greeted with his wife's pillow face. He would happily pinch her cheeks using his thumb and forefinger."Good morning, my angel without wings."Lexi started this morning by kissing Jessica's cheek several times. Jessica, who was still asleep, stretched and slowly opened her eyes. The handsome face she saw for the first time made her feel instantly happy."Good morning too, husband. Sorry I'm a little late. If it's like this, when will I be able to do my duty as a wife?” she whispered.Jessica blinked her eyes a few times. She was still feeling tired because of last night. Even though it was in accordance with the happiness she got while spending time with Lexi.“Don't talk like that. As long as you know, you are free to wake up at any time. Except in this bed." Lexi teased while returning a kiss on his wife's cheek."Ooh, you! After all, I am a wife, I must know what is my duty as a married woman."Jessica wok
230.Just the Two of Us.Jessica continued to gaze at her handsome husband. This wasn't the first time they were enjoying time alone together, but she felt something different. It could be said that she was falling in love with Lexi all over again.He wasn't a naturally romantic man. Sometimes his cold demeanor surfaced. Nevertheless, when he said something sweet, Jessica would instantly be on cloud nine. She was so grateful to have someone like Lexi in her life."Uh... are you awake? Isn't it still too early to leave the bed, dear?" Lexi, who had just woken up, yawned. His voice was hoarse from sleep. Despite being a bit disheveled, Jessica loved looking at Lexi when he just woke up from a deep sleep."I want to see the morning atmosphere here with you, dear. We came all the way to this Villa, so we should enjoy the beauty of this place. While we have some time alone. If we keep staying in the room, I'll be tempted to keep teasing you." Jessica playfully poked her husband's nose."Wa
229."Where are we going?" Jessica asked Lexi, who suddenly wanted to take her somewhere. She wasn't sure where, but one thing was clear: the route they were taking was familiar to her. "So, are we really going to the Villa?" Jessica confirmed."To the place where we first met."Without looking at Jessica , Lexi answered the big question mark that appeared in his wife's mind."Emm... alright. 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. We'll also visit the zoo, which isn't far f
228.The following week, without David's knowledge, Jessica asked Chelsea to come back to Jakarta.She didn't want to hear the story from just one side. She needed to hear Chelsea's account in person, not through messages or phone calls, but face-to-face where Chelsea could recount what happened that night.Chelsea, who had returned from Kuala Lumpur, scheduled a Sunday morning to meet Jessica .She was in a taxi and was about to arrive at the Ricardo family's residence.The taxi stopped in front of the gate. Chelsea handed a hundred-thousand rupiah bill to the driver without expecting change. Then, she got out of the car and entered the yard."Hey, Mbak Chelsea. Nona Jessica is waiting for you in the backyard. You can go straight there," Parti said while sweeping around the porch."Yes, I'll head there," Chelsea replied enthusiastically. She started guessing Jessica's reason for requesting a meeting. Could it be that Mr. Kim wanted to expedite her marriage with Daniel? Or was it some

Initially, he planned to return to his apartment, but suddenly he felt the urge to meet and see his grandfather, who chose to stay in Bogor during his time in Indonesia.In 20 minutes, David arrived at his grandfather's residence. He had a reason for coming to the villa.He wanted to talk to his grandfather, to get answers to the questions that haunted his mind and heart.David parked his car in the side garage.
