The Second Wife

Ajeng's eyes widened in horror as she waved her hands frantically. "No, Auntie. Ella was just joking. She's rambling," Ajeng protested, shaking her head. Evan's gaze turned cold, piercing Ajeng and making her hair stand on end. How could she possibly want to be the second wife of a man as cold as a refrigerator? Especially since Evan was the big boss at the company where she worked. "Ella, I want an explanation." Aunt Dahlia, Ella's mother-in-law, pulled Ajeng's hand and dragged her towards the bed where Ella was lying. Ajeng wanted to escape from the hospital immediately and calm herself by immersing herself in her pile of work. But the presence of the fifty-year-old woman ruined everything. Ella smiled when she saw her mother-in-law's grip on Ajeng's wrist. Meanwhile, Evan stared coldly at his wife. "Explain why you are lying helpless in this hospital? Why didn't you tell me, instead of her finding out first?" Evan demanded. Ajeng winced at the cold tone of Evan's voic

"You look so beautiful today. Even though it's simple, you still look like you're wearing an expensive kebaya," Ella said with a cheerful face.Indeed, the kebaya she was wearing cost hundreds of millions of rupiah. Ajeng felt that Ella was deliberately mocking her. Someone with limited financial means like herself would never be able to afford an expensive kebaya just for a wedding ceremony that would only last a few minutes."Why don't you look happy?" Ella asked in surprise.Ajeng should have been the one asking Ella that question. Why did that woman look so happy when her husband was about to marry her own best friend? What kind of world was Ajeng living in now? Maybe this was all just a dream. Maybe she was going crazy and hallucinating."You and Evan look so perfect together. I made the right choice in choosing you as his wife," Ella continued, holding both her hands with a happy smile.Ajeng was even more speechless. Had Ella gone crazy because of her illness? But the woman had

Throughout the journey, Ajeng and Evan remained silent. It wasn't that they were used to chatting intimately before. No. It was just that the atmosphere in the car felt cold because of what Evan had said earlier.Ajeng tried not to cry. She blinked her teary eyes repeatedly. Once again, she felt like a cheap woman. She had just gone along with it when Evan touched her, while he claimed he had simply made a mistake."I'm sorry," Evan said, breaking the silence.Ajeng didn't answer. She hurriedly opened the car door so she could quickly meet Ella and ask her what she meant by asking her to come to her house."Ajeng, wait." Evan grabbed her arm, but Ajeng didn't turn around. "I... I'm sorry. I'm a normal man. It's been a long time since Ella...""Let's not talk about it anymore. I know I married you because of what," she interrupted.Without waiting for Evan's reply, Ajeng left the man and hurried into Evan's house, which was much bigger than the one she lived in.After this, Ajeng would

"I thought you were asleep," Ajeng said incredulously. She approached Evan, who already looked better. He was no longer having trouble breathing like before."You two fight like in soap operas. I'm embarrassed just hearing it." Evan snorted, looking dismissive."It's not my fault I slapped him. You heard what he said earlier," she said with an annoyed expression.Ajeng was prepared for Evan to mock her for having been Dimas's wife. Surely he wouldn't miss this opportunity. But to her surprise, Evan closed his eyes instead.Sighing deeply, Ajeng finally left the room to go to the pharmacy and administration section. She looked around anxiously. She didn't want to meet Dimas again.From a distance, Ajeng saw Dimas walking while hugging Ayu's waist. She couldn't deny that her heart still ached when she saw that sight.Of course Ayu could get pregnant. It was completely different from her, who would never be able to feel a baby growing inside her womb.While taking care of the administrat

Ella's face immediately turned cold. Even though her stomach was churning again and her back was aching terribly, she tried not to show it in front of her mother."You watched too many soap operas, so you think strange things. Ajeng is my best friend. She often comes to this house. Evan is also close friends with Ajeng. So it's okay if Ajeng helps Evan, right?""But Ajeng is a widow, El. Even though I love her, you can't let them be alone together. Many celebrities have divorced because their husbands cheated on them with their own best friends," Puspa protested.Ella shook her head. "Whatever happens later, don't blame Ajeng. She doesn't know anything." Ella covered her mouth because the nausea was getting worse."What? Are you going to throw up? Auntie! Auntie! Get a container for Ella! She's going to throw up!" Puspa shouted in panic.Ella's wheelchair was pushed towards the dining room and a maid hurried over to them, carrying a plastic container. Ella immediately vomited the con
