"What is it?" Carlos quickly closed the bedroom door when he came out. Scared Margaret looked behind her back and saw Cecilia who was now lying innocently on the bed.
Carlos couldn't imagine how angry Margaret would be at Cecilia when she found out that the girl was in her room.
Just being in his room, Carlos was sure to make Margareth inflamed and angry, especially with Cecilia not wearing anything there.
“Nothing, Carlos. I just wanted to ask your permission to go see my friend who is in the hospital. He had a heart attack. I came here just to say goodbye so you don't look for where I am later
Because maybe I stayed there because my friend's husband was out of town. There is still work that can't be left out so for tonight my friend asked for help to accompany him to the hospital. Yes, can I?"
"Can. The driver will take you later."
"No need." Margareth forced a smile. “I can just take an online taxi. You don't need to bother the driver. I'm new here so I don't feel like bothering you too much. After all, I've already ordered a taxi and it will come to pick me up soon. Like I said before, I just came to say goodbye.” Hugged Carlos briefly. "I'll say goodbye, okay?"
Carlos just nodded his head and rushed inside as soon as Margareth turned around.
Carlos didn't want to let Cecilia wait inside for too long, afraid that the girl would catch a cold because she didn't want to wear a blanket, let alone clothes. But without Carlos knowing at all, now Cecilia was crying and cursing herself. Lie on your back looking at the ceiling.
There is a picture of when the father received bad treatment from Margareth. Imagine how devastated and hurt Cecilia's heart was to see her father having to endure the pain when he saw his own wife enter a room with a man. Cecilia had tried to prevent and asked her father to just let Margaret go, but the man said he was fine.
But Cecilia knew when he was not beside her. The middle-aged man brought his wheelchair closer and eavesdropped on what Margaret was doing in the room there. The room having absolutely no soundproofing could of course explain well that Margaret was enjoying the pleasure of being with the man who came with her earlier.
Since then Tomas's condition only got worse. Until he could only lie on the bed. Can't take anymore, even just sitting in a wheelchair. In Cecilia's mind as her father's condition worsened, poking her mother. In fact no, the more the father was unable, had no power, the more often Margareth came home with other men.
When Cecilia advised and asked her mother to respect her father, Margareth became angry and challenged Cecilia to do this in order to have an excuse to leave home. But back to her father's feelings earlier, Cecilia didn't want her father to be hurt because he lost Margaret. I don't know what made his father so determined to survive, even though all the destruction they experienced came from the snake woman.
Until now, it is still a mystery why her father was reluctant to divorce, but Cecilia didn't want to find out further which would make her even more hurt. It would be better if he focused on taking revenge so that he would be satisfied and live in peace.
"What are you thinking?" Cecilia gasped when Carlos was suddenly beside her. The man also wiped away the tears that were flowing in the corners of his eyes.
I don't know since when the clear tears were flowing, Cecilia didn't even know about it. To the extent that Carlos was the one who erased the wet trail.
"Nothing, I just miss daddy."
Carlos grabbed Cecilia's nightgown that was piled on the floor. "Put this on after we sleep." Carlos saw Cecilia sad like this, he was sure that this girl wouldn't think no more.
Moreover, Cecilia said that she missed her father, which means that Cecilia is aware that what they did was a mistake.
But Carlos misread the situation. Instead of accepting the dress, Cecilia actually pulled the hem of her shirt and opened it. He wanted to refuse, but Carlos' desire was to comply with what Cecilia wanted.
"I'm still where I was. Want to try more with Daddy.” I want to, Cecilia whispered right in Carlos' ear and left a wet trail there.
Of course, Carlos was intrigued again by Cecilia's teasing. What man wouldn't be tempted by the touch of a girl as beautiful as Cecilia? What's more, now the girl isn't wearing anything so Carlos can enjoy every inch and can touch any part he wants.
"But now your condition is not good. Daddy promises we will go on an adventure a little further if you really want that."
"I want it now, Dad." Cecilia whined. “Let's do more, so I can forget my sadness. "Honest. Honestly, only with Daddy can I forget all the wounds and sorrows I have experienced."
Hugged Carlos' neck and kissed both of the man's lips again. It didn't matter that Carlos didn't respond to what he did. Cecilia continued to touch Carlos' every sensitive spot, including sitting on his lap.
Cecilia could feel that Carlos was starting to squirm down there. He deliberately moved his hips so that his core was directly above Carlos. Although still covered in short jeans.
“Cecilia stop it!” Carlos couldn't stand it any longer if Cecilia kept moving like this. His chest also felt two very dense and supple spheres rubbing against him. Feeling dizzy. It feels tight if you have to hold it in, but it's impossible to vent because Cecilia is Vano's future wife.
"Dad, I can't stand it." Cecilia made a noise, getting off Carlos' body. Unbuttoning the man's trousers, put his hand in and greeted Carlos there.
Instantly Cecilia's body stiffened feeling how big and long Carlos was. He couldn't imagine if it came in, broke through, tore through his defenses. But again, Cecilia had to do this to satisfy her aching heart.
Carlos' jaw tightened, squeezing Cecilia's hair tightly. Forcing the girl's hand to come out of her trousers, but Cecilia was reluctant to do so.
He got even bolder and got out of bed. Pushing Carlos down. So he was free to pull down the man's shorts.
“Cecilia stop it!”
"What else are you waiting for Daddy? My job here is just to tease Vano and make him fall in love. After that Daddy could find him another girl to be his wife. If he is heartbroken, of course it will be easy for him to accept anyone's mate from Daddy. "Honestly, I can't bear to be asked to marry Vano."
"S-so you broke all your promises, Cecil?"
Cecilia shook her head. "Don't deny it, Dad. But I want to do it with Daddy as proof of my love for Para." Cecilia sat down on the floor. Looking down and crying, "Am I that low in Daddy's eyes that he doesn't want to do this with me? Is that bad that Daddy doesn't want to accept my love?"
Carlos was silent looking at Cecilia who was crying on the floor. It was a very heartbreaking sight for Carlos, but for Cecilia this was very embarrassing. Kneel and beg to be touched for free by a man.
In fact, he no longer has a face, but revenge is more important than self-respect.
Not having the heart to see Cecilia crying, Carlos guided the girl to stand up and sit on the edge of the bed. Raise the chin with the index finger. "If you really love Daddy, this isn't the way to do it. We can spend a lot of time together and see where our soul mate will land. "I'm afraid you really will fall in love with Vano, not Daddy, who is your only temporary love."
Cecilia shook her head quickly. "If it was just a moment of love, I wouldn't be so cheap as to tempt Daddy so that our relationship would be more than just work partners." Forcing a smile. “I'm not asking for much, that's all. Just this once was enough for me to be sure that Daddy would give me the opportunity to melt Daddy's heart. I promise I will find another way so that Vano can forget Celine."
"But Cecilia, Vano is comfortable with you."
"But I'm not comfortable with him, Dad."
Cecilia cried again. Cecilia's acting was really clever in melting Carlos' heart so that the man cupped his cheeks and did what he wanted.
So now Carlos has laid Cecilia on the bed and put his body on top of her, ready to do what Cecilia wants, provided that the girl has to help him keep Celine away from Vano.
Even though he later canceled his marriage to his son.
Cecilia tried to fight herself to stick to her principles, she would do that with Carlos tonight. So he threw away all his fears and sane thoughts so as not to reject what Carlos was doing.
He also tried to endure the pain when Carlos tried to break through the crown that he had been guarding so well. Carlos tried several times but failed. Even though Cecilia was already wet from their hot touch and caress. I don't know if it's because Cecilia is petite or Carlos is too sturdy to enter. No one knows.
Carlos did so many attempts, but still failed to pass. Moreover, the man saw that Cecilia was in pain, of course he couldn't force himself to press in.
"Let's take a short break. You can answer the call first.” Carlos wiped the sweat from Cecilia's forehead.
“It's okay, just continue. Just leave my cell phone alone, it's not important. "Later, when you pause and rest, Daddy will find more excuses not to do it."
Carlos rubbed Cecilia's lips which were swollen because of his actions. "I won't, because starting tonight you are Daddy's lover."
"Is it true?" Cecilia's eyes lit up.
Carlos nodded quickly. “If you don't believe it, tomorrow we will have a serial marriage at the Religious Affairs Office. "Tonight, you prepare all the documents we need to get married." Covered Cecilia's lips with her palm. “Don't talk about this to anyone. "Our relationship will be published when Vano and Celine break up."
“I love you. Cecilia kissed Carlos briefly on the lips. “Thank you for accepting my love.”
"Now just pick up the phone, it's been annoying." Carlos led Cecilia to sit down. It was quite tiring to penetrate this girl's defenses because Cecilia had never done it with any man. Once he met a man of unnatural size, of course Carlos would have great difficulty conquering him.
And Carlos made a big decision tonight. He would marry Cecilia rather than commit a grave sin. Carlos will also convey this to Margareth. During this time he was in a relationship with Margareth, but was able to restrain himself. But with Cecilia, Carlos can be sure he won't be able to refuse. So he will forget Vano for his own happiness.
Gibran continued, "As for our divorce, I've already agreed to it. We'll proceed with the legal process, and you'll be free to start a new chapter in your life. I hope you find the happiness you deserve."The conversation between Viska and Gibran marked the beginning of the end of their tumultuous marriage. While their emotions were still raw, they had come to a mutual understanding that it was time to move on and seek happiness elsewhere.Gibran's frustration and pent-up emotions poured out as he defended his actions. He felt betrayed by Viska, who had consistently pushed him away and made unfavorable comparisons with Nicholas. Their relationship had become a battleground of insecurities, and Gibran had sought solace with Shabila.Viska's accusations stung, but Gibran was determined to make her understand the context of his actions. He continued, "Viska, I don't want to justify what I did, but it was a result of our broken marriage. We both contributed to its downfall. I needed someth
190"Also," Bryan paused, kissing Silvi's lips briefly."Don't forget that the night we were together, I can assure you, it's my child."Silvi shook her head. "It's not Devin's child. Do you think after that night, I didn't do anything with other men? Did you really think that night was the only time someone touched me? No, there have been many other nights with so many men because I felt like I wasn't pure anymore. So I was free to do it with anyone since my life was already a mess.""S-so... instead of slightly more ruining myself, and the last time it was done to me was by Devin. That's why he's willing to take responsibility. He's also convinced that this is his child."Bryan let out a bitter laugh, releasing Silvi from his embrace. "Is that so?" He loosened his tie, which had felt suffocating after hearing Silvi's explanation. "Let's prove that what you said is true." He took off the suit jacket that clung to his body.“W-what are you doing?” Silvi stepped back. Hugging her own b
189"No way! I won't leave until I meet Gibran. He has to take responsibility for this child," Shabila insisted, refusing to budge. She held onto Viska and stood her ground."Leave, I said! Go!"Viska couldn't bear Shabila's stubbornness and forcefully pulled her arm, nearly causing Shabila to stumble."What's wrong with you!" Shabila pushed away Viska's hand and fixed her disheveled hair. "Are you afraid your husband's actions will be known to your parents? Or is it that you refuse to accept the truth?" Shabila began to rant."I don't understand what you're saying. Now leave!" Viska demanded."Wait, Viska! Mom wants to ask this woman something." Viska's mother restrained her daughter and turned to Shabila. "Why did you let my granddaughter get pregnant? Don't you know he's already married? What do you want from us? Money?"Shabila seethed with anger. Her dignity felt insulted when the middle-aged woman mentioned money."Do you think I'm a lowly woman who just surrenders her body to a
188Shabila spent the whole day in frustration, angry that she couldn't meet Gibran at his cafe. She paced back and forth in her room, thinking of ways to meet him."Do you think you can avoid me forever? You won't be able to, Gibran. I have to make you take responsibility for the child I'm carrying. You won't be able to escape. Just wait and see."Shabila clenched her fists, planning a thousand ways to meet Gibran. "If I can't find you at the cafe, I'll come to your house. Let's see if you can still avoid me," she muttered to herself.Gibran decided to visit the club where he had met Shabila some time ago. He had a bad feeling about Shabila's visit to his cafe and wanted to find out what had really happened between them that night. Honestly, Gibran didn't remember much because he had been heavily intoxicated that night.Upon arriving at the club, Gibran called one of the waitresses and conveyed his request to meet with the club's owner."I'd like to discuss something important with y
187"What brand would you like, Miss?" The employee asked while displaying several different brands of pregnancy tests.Shabila looked puzzled, which only fueled the employee's suspicions. "Is this your first time buying a pregnancy test?" she guessed with a condescending glance."Y-yes," Shabila replied hesitantly. Seeing the employee looking down on her, Shabila's heart began to boil. "I am already married, just so you know. Here's my ID," she said abruptly, opening her wallet and showing her ID card, which still stated her marital status as MARRIED. Her divorce from Arya was only religious; it wasn't legally recognized yet.Seeing the ID placed on the counter, the pharmacy employee became flustered. She was torn between embarrassment and guilt. "I'm s-sorry, Miss, I didn't mean to—""It's fine, I understand!" Shabila retorted sharply, then pointed towards the pregnancy tests. "So, which one is the best?" she asked.She deliberately didn't want to prolong the issue since she wanted
186Several days had passed, and today was the ceremonial bath event for Silvi. Everything was well-prepared, and the guests were moved by the event, which was expertly guided by the paid organizers, arranged by Silvi's parents. Silvi's large family wore matching light green kebaya, while Devin's family, who were present, wore light blue kebaya. The event was conducted with great solemnity, and Silvi looked beautiful despite wearing makeup that wasn't too flashy.This ceremony included many symbols and motifs that served as lessons or guidelines for the couple, influencing their married life. These symbols or motifs mainly conveyed advice and useful insights for the newlyweds' life together. That's why Mama Silvi insisted on holding the ceremonial bath event, even though Silvi and Devin had been married before.In addition to the food ordered for the guests and relatives, the organizers had prepared specific dishes usually served during this ceremonial bath event. These included tumpe
185Meanwhile, Silvi and Devin listened to the doctor's explanations during the examination. Silvi's pregnancy was already at three weeks. The doctor prescribed vitamins and anti-nausea medication since Silvi mentioned she often felt dizzy and nauseous. Devin didn't ask any questions because it was his first time in a obstetrician's office. He was confused about how to react. Silvi was the one who asked all the questions.Silvi got her next appointment scheduled, and then they left. Devin and Silvi went to the hospital's pharmacy to pick up the prescribed medicines first. Then, Devin asked Silvi where she wanted to go."I don't know. I just feel like lying down in my room.""Why's that? Don't you want to go out together?" Devin asked softly. They were now in the car. "How about having ice cream and buying some new sleepwear for you?""What's the point of buying sleepwear?""Because you're pregnant, and I want you to sleep comfortably. How about it?""I don't want to," Silvi said, maki
184As a father, whose heart wouldn't break upon learning that his daughter is pregnant with no official partner by her side? He felt like a terrible father, willing to do anything as long as the man who impregnated his daughter, Silvi, would take responsibility.Pregnancy is never an easy journey for a woman, especially without a husband by her side. The man Silvi referred to as the father finally decided to find Devin, the man who should be held accountable for what happened to Silvi. He took a taxi to Devin's whereabouts, hoping that he would indeed be there. Impatiently sitting in the taxi, the weary-looking man, no longer in his youth, stared at his phone screen. The journey from the city to the village was quite long, which was why he opted for a taxi. Besides, he didn't want any unpleasant conversations about Silvi if he had brought his driver along.Fortunately, he found out about Silvi's pregnancy before it was too late, or who knows what might have happened. He sighed wearil
183Nicholas didn't want anything to happen to their unborn child. So, he tried his best to grant her wishes. Besides, Alesya's request was relatively easy to fulfill, and it had been quite some time since they had visited her hometown."Are you happy?" Nicholas asked.Alesya turned and nodded. "I've really missed my hometown. As nice as it is to live in the city, the hometown is the number one place to visit," Alesya replied. "Besides, all my childhood memories are buried there."Hearing Alesya's response, Nicholas could only smile. He, who had lived in the city since childhood, never experienced life in the village. So, he didn't fully understand what Alesya meant. In his mind, Alesya might just miss the peaceful atmosphere of the village because the city was quite noisy."Get some rest; I'll wake you up when we arrive," Nicholas said after a moment of silence."Okay."Alesya adjusted her seating position to make herself more comfortable. She also slightly reclined her seat to make
