"You don't want to tell me what this place is?" I asked.
"Milan Cathedral.""You want to come here for penance?""I want to remarry you, Leah."***Milan, ItalyEl Salvador has the same high temperament as his parents. The bad traits they transmit are ingrained in their children. He often spends money on extravagances with his girlfriend.Steve said, today El, will have a pre-wedding in front of the Duomo Cathedral. This place is a historical place for me. Remembering the sweet story of a cradle from the mouth of a loser, as well as the bitter story of the prediction, it proved to be more than I thought.As for your son Anthony, I will give him a little chaos, so that he will think again about marrying that girl. Do you and he have the same character, easily deceived?My feet ran fast from the edge of this magnificent building, two men were chasing me from behind. I tripped, fell, and screamed, "Help, aa!"A handsome young man, his body was big and dashing like his father's. The combination of Natalie and Anthony's faces produces extraordinary beauty. He beat up two men carrying knives and guns without fear.The two men were battered and beaten with his large fists. Amazed, he was like his father who, if allowed to hit, would never stop until the opponent's face was bleeding.The clothes he wore were dirty with the man's blood. Security personnel came and both were taken away from there. I, who was amazed, couldn't look away from looking at him from a distance and was walking towards me who was sitting weakly on the street. "Are you okay?" he asked softly, like Anthony's voice, which used to care about me. I was a little lulled then smiled wryly, he was still very young. I don't need to be amazed.I shook my head, he cupped my face, examined everything, and saw my appearance was so pathetic, my lips and knees were injured, he probably felt sorry and carried me without asking much.My hands were forced to wrap around his long neck. The perfume smells very fresh. They have the same taste, fresh and piercing. "Let's just cancel this photo shoot, my clothes are also dirty and tell Jolie that I'm going back to the hotel," he said firmly to a man who rushed to open the car door for us."Yes Sir." He placed my body slowly on the soft car seat, sat next to me, and closed the door, and then the car started to move away from the location.But he asked the driver to take me to, "Apartment, Jose.""Yes sir." Oh, he has the same character, a liar! His head turned towards me, his hand touched my knee and I hissed. My body leaned closer to the edge of the door. Like I'm a virgin girl who is afraid of being touched by strangers."Is it hurt?" he asked and I nodded still not daring to look at him. His hand reached out to grab my chin, pulling it slowly upwards. My eyes closed when his thumb stroked my jaw. "Who are they and what do they want with an innocent girl like you?" he asked. I bit my lower lip lightly then answered,"They were ordered by the old man want to marry me, sir," I said quietly while holding back tears, I hoped my acting would be successful in front of him."Old man?" he repeated. My eyes opened, and I looked at him seriously,"Yes, Sir, can you take me away from here? Help me, I'm ready to be your servant if you need my strength, as long as I don't marry him," I said begging, talking non-stop, gasping for breath feeling tired so he would give his sympathy to me.His calm eyes and sincere smile indicated that I had succeeded in influencing him. His petty brain must have been thinking about what he would get after helping me."Fine, I will help you and take you away from here but I can't guarantee that you will be fine with me," he said. I laughed from the bottom of my heart because if I was with you then the destruction of your family would begin, El."What do you mean, Sir, I don't understand?" I asked, giving him a confused look."You'll understand when I treat you, just relax, hmm." He stroked the top of my head, smiling meaningfully. The grin in his eyes was like Anthony's that would tear my body apart. Oh no Leah, after his father now I will be touched by his son, this is crazy!This car stopped right in front of the elevator in the parking basement. El came out while holding out her hand to me. He took my hand very carefully and then carried me again. "Sir, I can walk alone," I said refusing but he didn't care, he remained in the same position.He pressed the elevator button and entered and the elevator door closed. "Your knee hurts and, certainly, you won't be able to walk normally. There's no way I'm limping like you," he said, glancing at me, not in my eyes, but right at my lips.He gulped so hard that I could hear it and feel his racing heartbeat. The elevator dinged and the doors automatically opened, he walked straight without feeling tired when I was in his arms."Are you, are you going to take a photo with your girlfriend?" I asked."No," he said, he was lying. It was clear that he was going to take pre-wedding photos with his girlfriend. Sigh, son and father are more or less the same. He dropped me off at the door and he put his fingerprints on the doorknob until the green light came on and the door opened."Come in," he ordered. My feet stepped slowly into the unit. My eyes looked around which looked very luxurious. The hallmark of the Anthony family is luxury."Come here and sit," he ordered, walking ahead of me to the large sofa in the living room. He will probably take medicine to cover my wounds. Soon he returned with a handkerchief a basin of water and a bottle of antiseptic.He sat under my feet to see the full extent of the wound. Without hesitation, he started to touch some of my wounds with water and after that. He sprayed an antiseptic solution on my wounds while blowing on them. He is a very caring, sweet child but, your life is in my hands, baby boy."Shh," I winced and he blew again and stroked the side of the wound. "It may sting but this is effective for wounds," he explained. "Thank you, sir, you are very kind." "What's your name?" he asked, I lowered my head and muttered, "Edel, my name is Edelweiss." He pulled my chin up again. "Nice name Edel, you want to take a shower, I'll buy you new clothes. Take a shower and clean in you," he said with a smile full of tenderness. He stood up and walked towards the door. I know exactly, behind that gentleness there must be an evil side embedded in his body, the blood of a traitor. After he left I looked at the whole place. Many active CCTVs highlight the behavior of the residents inside. I walked to look for the bathroom, maybe my actions were being monitored by him. Let's just say I was in a stranger's place so I looked confused. After monitoring and misplacing it many times. I found a public bathroom near the pantry. When I opened the door, the atmosphere was pleasant. There
"Why don't you want to go?" he asked when my bedroom door closed. He stood with his arms folded across his chest. His arm muscles bunched up, and the two middle buttons of his shirt came undone and fell to the tips of my feet.I bent down and picked it up. "You said at the beginning it wasn't allowed and then it was okay, I chose the first answer, that's all," I answered without looking at him and twirled the loose buttons of his shirt between my two fingers."You always try to oppose me, Leah, every day I get more and more fed up with your attitude!""You think I'm not fed up with your acting affectionately in front of people even though, those people know that you are planning a pregnancy with your slut!""Shut your mouth, she's not like that!"He raised his hand above my head and I looked down, twisting my intertwined fingers, I shook. My whole body was scared, but I tried to survive. Stand in place without running to safety."He is kinder and more polite than you. Don't judge some
Somehow he reasoned with his lover that he had returned to Geneva. He is not a man who is a workaholic but is crazy about making love. A little different from Anthony. Even though Anthony is having an affair, he is focused on work, including being a workaholic. El only has a handsome face but his brain is empty. He only knew how to order his men without doing anything. I never saw him dizzy or confused. He looks relaxed and enjoys the money from his hard-earned wealth collected by his grandfather. Sad, I feel sorry for Mr. Frederick. He has useless successors. "After arriving, we will shop for your needs and buy you an apartment," he said in an arrogant tone. You're nothing El, you're just a money waster. "Um, what if I just stay at your house or I work to serve you and your family? You don't need to waste money on me, because I'm afraid I won't be able to pay it," I offered. I want to always be around you, to speed up this mission.He smiled, "I just need payment with your love, d
"Need me to help you, Miss?" asked a female servant who was standing in front of the door watching me struggle to climb one step by carrying the hem of my dress and maintaining my balance."Yes, please. Can you be beside me?"She ran fast and helped me right away. One hand used her shoulder as a grip while the other lifted my dress to make it easier to walk."The shoes are too high, Miss.""Yes, you're right and it hurts my fingers pressing down."When I got to the top my legs felt cramped, but I tried to be able to stand up and walk into the house. A servant ran over to me and gave me normal sandals so that I didn't have to bother climbing the stairs anymore to get to my room."Need any more help, Miss?""Oh no Thank you but where is Mr Anthony's room?""You're welcome Miss, let me take you," she said and I smiled.We climbed the stairs while talking because I asked about the morning habits of the people in this house. As a new resident, I have to be able to adjust as best as possible
This house has not changed at all, I was accompanied by a servant to the living room on the right. I have memorized where they provide services to the guests they invite to stay.Meanwhile, on the right is the main room of the house's occupants. In front of the stairs is Anthony and first room, that was then or not now. My head spun looking at that room, it felt sad when I had to return to reality where many painful things were stored in there."Please come in, Miss.""Thank You."He told me everything here. Like most foreigners, I nodded and asked as needed."If you need something, you can immediately call and be directly connected to the kitchen area, the best chef will serve you.""Okay, thank you and can I ask a question?""Yes, Miss?""Where is Mr El's room?""At the end there, Miss. The right side is reserved for residents of the house.""Oh yes, thank you, I thought the room was in front of the stairs."He smiled and shook his head, "That's Mr. Anthony's special room."He didn't
El came into my room late in the afternoon and brought a lot of things for my needs. Be it ordinary home clothes, bags, shoes, work clothes, and cell phones. That communication tool is what I need to expand my network."Try to check, whatever is missing then I will buy it again.""This is a lot El, I'm very grateful."He cupped my face and kissed my lips. "Sorry, for now, we have to pretend to be real colleagues so they get used to you.""It's okay, I also don't feel good because you broke off your relationship with another woman. You lied to me, El," I said while frowning and he hugged me tightly."Oh darling, I'm sorry. I couldn't be honest because you would reject me."I groaned and hit his broad chest. He took both of my hands and kissed my lips tenderly. I'm lulled by touches like this, oh Anthony. Shit! She's El!"See you downstairs, we'll have dinner in half an hour. Listen for the sound of the bell which signals it's time to go down to eat," he said and immediately left the ro
I'm sorry for this mess Edel. She is always spoiled so it is difficult to control her. Even though you're the same age maybe, you should be friends," Natalie said as she stood up and I smiled."No problem Madam, friendship cannot be forced," I said. Like you and me. I always wanted to be friends with you but you preferred to be enemies with me."Okay, I'll excuse myself to talk to her. Eat a lot, Edel," She said as she stroked my shoulder and left us in the dining room.Not long after, Anthony did the same, he finished eating and left the two of us. El looked at me with a smile."This is how my family is, they have diverse characters. Just take it easy, dear," he said softly as he kissed my cheek and his eyes scanned the surroundings.After finishing eating, we went to our respective rooms. I have many things to do. Contacted Nicolo to tell him about the situation at home and I asked, "Is there a handsome guy who can melt an arrogant girl.""For who?""His little girl, Britney.""I'll
The large, sturdy pillars stunned my eyes. This building is big and tall. I had to look up 90 degrees to see the beauty of the carved statues and the magnificent ceiling. The flooring is beautiful too, it's amazing. "You like?" Anthony whispered in my ear. I nodded, "It's beautiful, more than beautiful. Have you ever been here?" I asked and he shook his head. There's a slight sense of pride if I'm the only one he brought here. This place is quiet and I suspect that he will give a surprise here. We joined hands and walked slowly towards the altar, and at the end, a priest was waiting. Was he serious about what he said earlier? My feet stopped walking until he stopped and I said, "Anthony, don't tell me that-" "I told you earlier, we will remarry," he said. Can not be trusted. On what basis does he want our second marriage? "What for?" I asked and let go of his hand. He wants to do things that are not important. What's the point of remarrying if he can still be in love with another
Steve always hugged Leah possessively throughout the event. They couldn't leave the party before the guests attending the event left. The guests who came were close relatives so they spent a long time chatting with each other. There was no longer any feeling of awkwardness or anxiety in Leah's heart. She felt very loved by her new husband. Even though in reality they are still the same age, Steve is even older than Leah. but Leah still tried to think that Steve wasn't a little boy. So far, she has always been carried away by age when she was still Anthony's wife. When the dance music played, all the guests present looked for their respective partners. "Would you like to dance with me, my wife?" Steve knelt and kissed the back of Leah's hand tenderly. Seeing that everyone clapped for them. Leah blushed, smiled, nodded awkwardly. Her body resigned itself to being pulled by Steve until her chest was pressed against Steve's broad chest. Leah's hands were around Steve's long neck and Stev
"Now kiss your bride." The oath of allegiance has been spoken from our lips. I felt embarrassed when he started to remove the cloth covering my face. He is my husband. A high-ranking police officer is one of the important people in the police force whose identity is very secretive. My eyes didn't blink looking at him who was so handsome, his hands slowly cupped my face and he crushed my lips slowly and very carefully. His soft kiss made me drift away for a few seconds. The sound of applause from the guests present brought a festive impression to this closed wedding. I don't know what the concept was, because he only invited certain closest people and relatives. "I love you, don't be angry," he said softly with a smile after our kiss broke. I wasn't going to be mad at him but thousands of questions ran through my head. He introduced me to the top police officer along with his wife and friends who I saw with him in the photo. After that, the Anthony family hugged me one by one, they
One medium-sized pizza, I finished it alone before arriving at my destination. The journey only takes thirty minutes to a place like a hotel. A very luxurious place of detention if I were to be kidnapped. Someone greeted our arrival, he chatted with the driver and after that, this man turned to me, "Come on honey, come with me," he said, his body language was like a woman, but he was a man because I saw the bulge in the front of his trousers. I walked behind him. Following him, he entered a room filled with white dresses. Wait, what is this? "Um, may I ask, what clothes will I wear?" "Oh dear, you can take a shower first to freshen up because maybe the groom can't wait to say his vows of allegiance. Your gown are already available, you can wear whatever you want, choose whatever you like." Bride? I will marry, but who will be my husband? Meanwhile, Steve could not be contacted. Is he being held by the Anthony family and this is ... me and Pedro's wedding? Why did he go alone withou
Steve left me alone at his house because he was taking care of something he was hiding from me. He shouldn't be able to hide anything from me anymore. While he was away, I searched his entire house. One by one I entered the rooms. All the rooms look ordinary and there is no luxury in them. There was a cupboard filled with old clothes, probably belonging to his parents. I climbed the stairs, and at the top two rooms were facing each other. One room is locked while the other is not. This unlocked room is wider than the room downstairs. Oh yeah, will I sleep in his room later? There is nothing here and it is clean and well maintained. The bed is neatly made and smells good. Again I stood in front of this locked room. My curious soul couldn't be stopped again, I looked for a gap to open this door. Finally, the door opened and I saw a row of pistols neatly lined up. From the smallest to the largest guns. Does he have a collection of items like this, legal or illegal? He is too mysteriou
"Thank you, if you need anything I will help you, Madam," "Just call me Leah, we look the same age, don't we?" I said while hugging her. "Yeah, I'm too embarrassed to call you that because Steve's grandmother said you were the boss's wife," he answered while glancing at Steve. I shook my head. "Oh, not anymore, we're just exes," I confirmed to her. She is a good girl and could be a new friend for me. She is also polite, and able to keep her distance from Steve. Unlike other women who feel close to male friends, they don't care about the man's lover. I haven't declared him a girlfriend yet. But this girl said that you have made up. What are they talking about me? The car started driving again, his gaze was still looking forward then turned to me as he kissed my hand and then stroked it gently with his thumb. "So, what are your plans next?" "Imprisoned Mr. Theo for attempted murder at the hospital." "Whose murder?" "You forget if someone covered your face with a pillow and that w
I took a deep breath, sticking out my tongue to wet my lips which felt numb. Nestled in Steve's large arms, he waited patiently for my answer. "I—" stammered, looking into his dark eyes, I forgot what vocabulary I wanted to put together into a sentence."I don't want you to be stressed, or depressed because of the endless demands. Always asking for proof and you keep covering up the evidence as best you can. Come on, run away from all this, leave everyone who thinks you are evil, and so on. Or, you already love Pedro. You want to marry him?" I saw jealousy in his eyes, but not selfishness. He would want to give in if I asked him to step down and choose Pedro. Am I selfish, if I close my eyes not to care if he already has a girlfriend? Or will I be able to harm him if Pedro wants me later?"How is your lover?" "She's my friend, the one I asked to pretend." My eyes widened and he smiled. He has made me gawk a lot at his quite annoying behavior. Since last night I felt like a miserable
I laughed when he asked for a second chance. While he said he was heartbroken and now has a girlfriend, it will be my question that demands him. "Steve, yesterday your grandmother said you were heartbroken and now you have a girlfriend. Then, after seeing me, you want a second chance. All of that was a big surprise to me." "I need someone to erase you from my brain. An aggressive woman who might make me forget everything." Aggressive woman? "I need to calm myself down so that my life can be normal and not force myself to have you. I still can't. As long as you are still breathing, you are the one I always want. Not your body, I want to protect you, I love you like Mr. Anthony can't give me that to you. I want to be a loyal man like you want." I was silent, watching his serious face. I don't want to interrupt, I just want to judge whether what he said is trustworthy or just a figure of speech. "My father once said, 'I feel sorry for Azalea, that woman is very innocent and loves he
Coming here actually made Steve's grandmother busy, she made my favorite corn soup. While talking about Steve, who she said was heartbroken. Where does she know? Did Steve call her? Usually, grandsons would not say personal things openly. Don't let this woman suddenly hate me because of me if she finds out that I hurt her grandson. "Does he still work for you?" She asked. She handed me the soup that was ready to be served on the dining table. How do I explain all our problems? Since that night, he no longer contacted me. He doesn't have any work at the office so there's no reason for me to communicate with him anymore. "Not anymore grandma, he probably already has a new job," I said, reflexively and brought the soup to the dining table. I can't possibly answer the truth. Dumping a man who has been good to me all this time just because he slept with my enemy. That's how evil a woman is, she can steal the man her friend loves because of his wealth or feel disgusted if the man she's b
I'm not an innocent woman who doesn't know anything about wanting a man to approach me like this. Moreover, his eyes kept looking at my lips. In my mind two sides were colliding, one wanted to immediately feel his lips, and one side wanted me to survive and avoid. "Do you want to feel and differentiate the touch of a young man's lips that are still fresh, not wrinkled," he said, the tips of our lips slightly touching each other. His fresh-smelling breath made me fall asleep, disturbing the calm of my subconscious. I tried to hold on, when the tip of his nose played between mine, rubbing gently. "I've felt kisses from many men, both ordinary, extraordinary, young and old. I'm not curious about how it feels, young man—" I said while gently pushing his chest away from me. But he insisted on going forward, holding my hand which was removing it from his chest. With a quick movement, he grabbed my waist and brought me onto his lap. Oh, God! He even dared to pull the hem of my dress down
