Ch 5: Lost and Found

"Aldi?" Rina looked at the familiar man who suddenly showed up out of nowhere.

Eka looked at his wife's expression and smiled grimly. It seems like he loves the reaction his wife had right now. The expression of despair and loss, it's the first time he sees his wife this fragile because of meeting some low life commoner. Eka gazed toward the man behind the annoying woman, Aldi was it? Eka's smile grows sour as he sees how that commoner can affect his wife more than he did.

"This is so boring" Eka growled at the woman who dressed like a prostitute in front of him.

"How dare you! You left me behind! I am the daughter of Hills Company! My father will hear about this" the woman yelled at the cold president.

"Woman like you disinterest me, leave at once", Eka ordered the annoying woman who has been clinging on his arm like a hungry beast. The woman has been rubbing her meaty breast on Eka caramel skin, somewhat annoying the president. Eka looks at his wife whether she will react to this, however, it's the complete opposite.

Rina was too focused on the commoner she saw, she widened her eyes in shock to the commoner.

"Aldi, why are you here?" Rina stuttered.

"I could ask the same to you Rina, why are you here?"Aldi is definitely annoyed by Rina's closeness to the president.

"I thought you disappeared!" Rina growled at Aldi.

"Well that's weird, aren't you the one who left me first!?" Aldi yelled back at Rina.

Rina clenched her teeth when she received Aldi hurtful words. Eka is certainly amused at his wife's expression more than the prostitute woman who tries to seduce him. He gazed at his wife blankly, waiting for her to retort back at the commoner he despised. The commoner that managed to make his wife become sad, his sense of domination frustrated him that his wife is more affected by the lowly commoner than him.

Aldi advanced to his naked wife and pinned her on the wall, flustered and longing for his wife. "Rina I want you to understand that I did this because I need money, and the only way to do it is to expose that jerk secret affair" Aldi looked at Eka's unchanged expression.

Eka looked at the dramatic scene unveiled in front of him, unamused he pushed the commoner man away from Rina.

"Please leave my wife out of your personal affair" Eka growled at the commoner in front of him. Aldi backed away, his gaze sharpened toward the masculine man in front of him. The President pushed him away from his shocked wife. It was the first time he felt neglected and ignored, this made him curious of his newfound weakness on his wife.

"Who is this person Rina?" Eka asked the frightened woman behind him.

"It's none of your business" Rina replied feistyly.

"Hou? So you're pretending to be strong now, fascinating" Eka lifted his wife chin amused by her reaction.

The fact that she's acting strong toward him, but meek only to that lowly commoner agitated him. He clicked his tongue as he pulled his wife closer to his side. He glared at the person named Aldi, the only person that could weaken his wife.

"Who are you?" Eka's voice was filled with intimidation.

Aldi shuddered at his intimidating presence, he backed away wary of the Kikanasih President Group.

"Who am I? It's none of your concern Mr. President!"Aldi yelled bravely to Eka.

"Hah! Even dogs can bare their fang to a lion, you're a despicable mutt" Eka walked to Aldi confidently even with his bared body shown to both ladies in the room. Rina blushed and hid herself under the blanket, while the mysterious woman gazed at his heavenly shaped body.

Eka pinned Aldi to the wall, his glare focused on Aldi nervous expression. Like a dog being scolded by his master, Aldi showed panic and pathetic expression in front of the confident president.

"If you're a good mutt, you wouldn't even think about working with this prostitute lady" Eka scowled.

The mysterious sexy lady yelled back at the President angrily, she stomped her feet on the ground like a helpless spoiled child she is.

"Just so you know I am Aveline Junaedi! The daughter of Hills Company! I won't let you trample me after that one night stand Eka!" she scoffed.

Eka scoffed at her remarks, thinking of how ridiculous she is. Eka sighed annoyed by Aveline constantly nagging him, like a baby begging for attention he strangled the woman's neck with ease. His large hand enveloped her fair neck, Rina was far from impressed. Rina gasped as she looked at her husband's cruel treatment to Aveline.

"I can't breathe" Aveline stuttered in desperation as she felt the president's hand only get tighter every seconds.

Rina braced herself and tried to push her husband away from Aveline, she pushed his shoulder hoping that he would let go of her however, his form is still the same. His firm back didn't budge at all. Rina glanced at her husband's eyes and that's when she realized that there's something wrong with him. His eyes are void of emotion, there's only coldness and cruelty in his stern jet black eyes.

"I thought you want me little girl" Eka grinned at Aveline and then he lifted her slim frame toward the ceiling.

Aveline felt more choked than before, Rina gazed at her husband's indifference toward Aveline who was close to dying.

"What is it that you want? Money? My body? Sex?" Eka asked indifferently to the woman he lifted on air.

"Eka I want you to love me" Aveline sobbed while she could feel his grip on her neck slowly crushing her throat.

"STOP IT!" Rina yelled to her husband and panicked.

However he keeps lifting her upward, enjoying every coarse manner and ugly expression the woman made in front of her. His smile widened as she saw how fragile the woman had become. It's clearly shown on his face and Rina is aware of it. She would never have thought that her husband is a psycho who looks down on others' lives.

"Stop it! What are you doing to my girlfriend!!"Aldi pushed the president's body as hard as he could.

Aveline dropped and coughed harshly on the velvet carpet, she looked at Rina's husband with a frightened face. Rina gets closer to Aveline only to get pushed down by her.

"YOUR HUSBAND IS A CRAZY MAN!" she yelled frightened as she hid behind Aldi back.

Rina knows that what she saw just now was unordinary, her husband's cruelty and coldness are beyond her understanding. Eka merely clicked her tongue as he came back sitting on the bed calmly, as if nothing ever happened.

"Sorry I guess it's not the kind of play you like little girl" Eka smiled toward frightened Aveline. "I suppose you like it better if I do it gently, right?".

Rina slapped her husband's cheek. Furious by his indecent comment, furious by how easily Eka spouted his venomous words she pinned him on the bed. She grabbed onto his chest, clenching the surface of his muscular caramel chest. She didn't feel any ounce of affection or pity to her husband, she despised how her husband behaved.

"You're playing commando? That's unusual my wife" Eka smiled slyly.

"SHUT UP! HOW DARE YOU DID THAT TO HER! YOU COULD HAVE KILLED HE-".

"So what?".

"Huh?".

Eka pushed the confused Rina harshly, she fell from the bed and hit her head on the velvet carpet. This time Eka pinned her down on the floor, his hands were on Rina's shoulders. He gripped her shoulders firmly like a predator catching his prey, his jet black eyes shining in the darkness.

"Human lives are extensional, there are nothing but puppets in this vast broken world", Eka said venomously. "If one die, another one shows up".

Rina silenced her voice as his voice intimidated the whole room, grinning in satisfaction that his wife finally silenced herself he continued his intimidating speech.

"We are just resources that despicable God used to build His Kingdom, we are His workers, therefore we are only cogs in the cycle of life", he smirked.

She couldn't understand his husband's train of thoughts, Rina gulped as he tightened his grips on her shoulder. It was excruciatingly painful that she winced, Rina looked at her husband's eyes bravely.

"Then I'll thrive on my own, I don't need your help" Rina glared at her husband menacingly gazed.

Eka scoffed at Rina bravery, somewhat amused by her retort, he loosened his grip as she pulled her to his embrace. Surprised by his action, Rina pushed him harshly to the point Eka fell down. He covered his face with his large hand, hiding something behind his caramel skinned hand. After recovering from his fall, he returned to his original position and faced Rina directly.

"You're different" he said.

"What are you talking about?", Rina scowled.

"Nothing", he replied indifferently.

He then faced both Aveline and Aldi, his cold gaze frightened the lost couple. Aveline hid her face in her current lover back, while Aldi bravely faced the rotten President.

"You're insane, I will report your affair!" Aldi stated bravely.

"Affair what affair? She is my new wife" Eka pointed to Rina.

Aldi clenched his fist as Eka emphasised on the word "wife", he walked away silently as Aveline constantly nagged at him to slow his pace.

"Hey! What about our plan!?" Aveline pouted.

"I don't care" Aldi said darkly as he left the room with no ounce to retort his lover ramble.

Aveline looked back and stuck her tongue to mock the president, Eka only scoffed at the sight. He walked to the kitchen area and picked something. However, Eka muscular built obscure her line of sight. She could hear the sound of something being dumped in the trash bin, but she doesn't know what it is.

"A mutt will stay as a mutt, for the rest of their lives" he said venomously as he drank his water. Eka walked to the naked Rina as he extended his hand.

"Want to have sex with me?" Eka asked out of nowhere.

Rina slapped his hand furiously and walked to the furthest side of the bed, away from him.

"You're a feisty wife" Eka smiled. "You're the perfect plaything".
