"What do you mean, Alexa? You asked me to divorce Michael and marry Kevin?"
Adelle was completely shocked when Alexa suddenly came to her house and asked her to marry Kevin."Because if you get a divorce and marry Kevin, Alexander can be free without having to pay compensation, Adelle."However, Alexa tried her best to persuade Adelle to follow her request."You're crazy, Alexa! Michael is helping you now, and you're asking me to divorce him."Clearly, Adelle refused Alexa's crazy request. After all, she never thought of divorcing Michael and marrying another man."Adelle, Kevin is more sincere than Michael. Michael wants to help Alexander, but he asks for company shares as compensation. Whereas Kevin doesn't. He sincerely wants to help Alexander."Alexa did not consider Adelle's situation and still insisted on her desire."But he asked me to marry him and divorce Michael. Don't you think that if Kevin asks for a bigger compensation than Michael's request, Alexa? Michael asks for shares, but Kevin asks for my life. You want to make me a hostage of Kevin, just for your own desire."Adelle yelled loudly in front of Alexa's face, even scolding her sister.Throughout this time, Adelle has never yelled at Alexa even once, but now she really can't control herself because Alexa has said foolish things only for her own selfishness."At least, if you marry Kevin, your life will be better, Adelle.""Hey, are you blind, Alexa? Michael, my husband, is the sole heir. And I am very sure that his wealth surpasses Kevin's. I love Michael very much. Now he has everything, and why should I choose Kevin just to help you?"Adelle's anger has reached its peak. She really cannot believe that Alexa can compare Michael with Kevin."What if the truth is that Michael is lying, Adelle? What if yesterday's news was fake news? What if Michael was only pretending to be rich, so that Dad would believe him?"SLAP!Adelle gave a slap to Alexa's face. She was very angry that her sister insulted her husband with dirty words."I don't care if our relationship is problematic, Alexa. Because now, I choose to maintain my relationship with Michael, rather than with a problematic sister like you. Deal with your own problems and don't involve me. Now, get out of my house!"Adelle openly kicked Alexa out of her house. She's already feeling disgusted."Adelle, you've changed now. Before, you never acted like this towards me, but for Michael's sake, you slapped me.Okay, if you don't want to help me, I will ask Dad to kidnap you and bring you to Kevin. Anyway, you have to marry Kevin to free my husband, Adelle!"Alexa threatened Adelle.However, Adelle didn't care anymore. She immediately pushed Alexa out of her house. She didn't want to argue with her sister anymore because she couldn't control her emotions anymore."Adelle, what's wrong with you?"Not long after Alexa left the house, Michael suddenly came.Michael immediately hugged Adelle who was crying on the floor."Tell me, who hurt you, Adelle?"He looked panicked, seeing his wife's condition now."I'm fine, Michael. Don't worry, I'm okay."Adelle tried to control her anger now."I saw Alexa in front earlier. She must have caused trouble for you, right? Be honest with me, what did she say that made you cry like this?"However, Michael knew very well that something had happened between Adelle and Alexa earlier."Alexa came to me. She said Kevin made an offer to Dad, that he would help Alexander if I marry him. And Alexa asked me to divorce you and marry Kevin, so Alexander can be free and get out of his troubles easily."Finally, Adelle chose to tell Michael what actually happened. Because it was impossible for her to lie to her husband.Anger was clearly visible on Michael's face, after hearing Adelle's words."Kevin? The Kevin who was supposed to marry you before?""Yes, Michael. Kevin, who my father arranged me to marry."Adelle knew very well that Michael hated Kevin. Because in the past, their relationship with Michael was almost ruined when Kevin came and was going to marry her."I beg you, Michael. Please don't care about Alexander anymore. Stop your deal with him.I want to start a new life with you, without any disturbance from my family. Let's leave here and take me away from this place, Michael."Adelle looked so serious when making that request to Michael. Yes, she was already very tired of her family's attitude and intended to leave them now.Actually, Michael also wanted to do the same thing as Adelle wanted. However, he had many plans to complete, including taking Adelle's company which was still in Aldebaran's hands."I promise to do what you want, Adelle. Tomorrow, I will take you away from here and meet my grandmother. You will be safe there if you stay."Michael tried to calm Adelle and make his wife feel better.“I trust you, Michael.”After Michael successfully calmed Adelle and made her fall asleep, he chose to go in front of the house.Then, Michael contacted someone using his phone."Hello, good evening, Mr. Rafael. Can I help you with something?""Aden, I need your help now.""Of course, just tell me, Sir."Michael seemed to sigh for a moment before saying what was on his mind now."Tell Grandma, I will come there tomorrow, with Adelle. Please prepare a room for us and buy new clothes for my wife, Aden.""Wow, Mr. Rafael will move to Mrs. Gracia's house? Okay, I will do everything you say and tell this good news to Mrs. Gracia as soon as possible, sir."Aden sounded so excited, upon hearing the news that Michael told him."There's one more thing, Aden. I want you to find information about Kevin, Kevin Agravena. He is a property businessman, who works with my father-in-law's company.Find information about his company and all the assets he owns. Tomorrow, when I come there, I hope you have gathered all the information I want, Aden.""Michael, is this really your house?"Adelle was surprised when she saw the presence of a very large house in front of her.Michael smiled and nodded his head."Yes, this is my house. We will live here, Adelle.""This house is very big, Michael."Adelle didn't expect that the house she would live in would be many times larger than her father's big house.Michael looked at Adelle and held her hand, bringing her back from her reverie."Let's go inside now. Someone has been waiting for us since earlier, Adelle."After that, Michael led Adelle into the house because he knew that Gracia was waiting for them inside."Welcome, my dear granddaughter Adelle."Gracia hugged Adelle warmly. She looked very happy with the arrival of her grandson's wife."Nice to meet you, Mrs. Gracia. Thank you for welcoming me."Adelle responded to Gracia's greeting politely, with a smile on her face."Hey, call me grandma. I am Rafael's grandmother, so you should call me that too."However, Gracia felt annoyed b
"Sir, I have done everything as you requested," Aden said to Michael, after he contacted someone on his phone and gave an order.Michael sighed softly, then nodded in understanding."Have you also contacted the media to cover it immediately?""Yes, everything is going well, Sir. I can guarantee that news of the fire at Kevin's property building will be the main trend in the news today and for the next week."Michael kept his promise. He came to meet Kevin to negotiate, but Kevin refused him. So, Michael immediately asked Aden to carry out the second plan, which was to make Kevin regret it by destroying his property building."Now, where do we go, Sir?"Michael checked his phone, then saw something there."I got news that Aldebaran is meeting with Alexander in jail now. So, now take me to the police station and meet them, Aden."It seems that Michael will give another surprise to Alexander and Aldebaran now."Okay, Sir."What Michael said is true. Now, Aldebaran is at the police statio
Aldebaran looked shocked after hearing all of Michael's words. He had not expected the explanation he had just heard. Then, he looked directly at Alexander with a sharp gaze."What Michael said isn't the truth, is it, Alexander? You didn't do anything bad to me, did you?" he asked.Alexander looked frightened. However, he couldn't lie, because everything Michael said was true."I'm sorry, Father. A-""Damn it!" cursed Aldebaran immediately. Then, he slapped Alexander across the face.And Michael smiled as he watched the argument unfold before his eyes."I don't have time to watch you argue. So, I will leave now. You can continue arguing after I leave," he said.With that, Michael turned around and walked out of the room. He pretended to be deaf as Aldebaran shouted his name expectantly.-At Gracia's house."Where were you, Rafael? Why are you home so late?" asked Gracia. She immediately welcomed her grandson when she heard the sound of his car.Michael, who had just entered the house
“Look now, all of my in-laws have gathered here. One wealthy son-in-law and one poor son-in-law.”Aldebaran said the sentence straightforwardly, while looking at two men standing in front of him now. The wealthy son-in-law is referring to Alexander, while the poor sin-in-law is referring to Michael. Currently, a party is taking place at Aldebaran’s residence. And the party is held to celebrate Aldebaran and Kania’s wedding anniversary. “Happy wedding anniversary, Dad. As your second son-in-law, I give you a car as a gift.”Alexander, the husband of Aldebaran’s secod daughter, was the first to give a gift to Aldebaran. “Thank you, Alexander. Last year you gave me and Mam a gift of travel tickets abroad and this year you gave a car. You are truly a wealthy and kind son-in-law.”Aldebaran praised his second son-in-law, Alexander, who gave him a car as a gift. “Of course, for my mother and father-in-law, I will try to give the best gift. Here is the key, Dad. The car will be arriving
"What's wrong with your face? Did my father hit you again?"Adelle immediately asked the question when she saw her husband's face covered in bruises and blood.After the turmoil that occurred at his in-laws' house, Michael decided to immediately return home."No. On my way back, some criminals tried to rob me, but since they knew I had no money, they just beat me up."Michael lied in response to Adelle's question. He didn't want to make Adelle sad if she knew he was being mistreated by Alexander and Aldebaran.However, Adelle couldn't be fooled. She immediately understood that her husband had been hurt by her family."I'm sorry I couldn't go with you to my parents' house earlier. They must have treated you very badly, didn't they?"Hearing that, Michael smiled and shook his head."It's not a big deal. Besides, I'm used to receiving all the bad treatment, so you don't have to worry, Adelle."Adelle felt sorry for Michael. Their relationship was not approved by her parents, and they alw
"Mr. Rafael, Mrs. Gracia is asking you to come back home."Michael let out a slow sigh, then shook his head."I've told her, I won't go back and I'll stay here with my wife."The stranger standing in front of Michael seemed to kneel before him. And it seemed that Michael knew the stranger well."Mr. Rafael, please come back. Mrs. Gracia suddenly fell ill and she just came back from the hospital yesterday. Now, Mrs. Gracia wants to meet you.""Grandma is sick?""Yes, Sir."Michael was quite surprised by the news he just heard."Okay, take me to see Grandma now."Michael got into the luxury car, feeling quite panicked and worried.Shortly after, Michael arrived at a luxurious white painted house, with a classic style. He got out of the car and immediately entered the luxurious house."Grandma! Grandma Gracia!"Michael entered the house while calling out a name.Once inside the house, Michael saw an old woman sitting on the sofa. And the old woman looked so healthy, drinking a cup of cof
"How's it going, Michael? Did you get money from my mother? The landlord came back earlier and asked for the rent," Adelle asked as Michael just entered the house."No, I didn't go to your family's house, Adelle. Someone offered me a job earlier and gave me money. I think it's enough to pay for this rented house," Michael handed Adelle a considerable amount of money.But when Adelle received the money from her husband, she was quite surprised because the amount exceeded what she needed."What kind of job did you do? Why did you get so much money?""I just helped someone load their things into their car. The owner happened to be a tourist, so I got a lot of money. Just keep the money for food, after paying for the rent, Adelle."Actually, Michael got the money from Gracia, but he didn't want to tell Adelle and still wanted to keep everything secret from his wife."Okay, I'll buy some delicious food with this money."Adelle looked very happy, thinking about the food she could buy with t
"Where did your husband go, Adelle?"Kania suddenly asked her eldest daughter when she didn't see Michael around."It seems like he has to work, Mom."The atmosphere in the Aldebaran house turned quiet now. Everyone was thinking about Alexander and his company's situation.Alexa was seen crying in Alexander's arms, thinking about her husband's wealth that would be seized by the police. Meanwhile, Kania and Aldebaran looked panicked and worried about their second son-in-law's situation.Kania sat next to Adelle and looked at her daughter gently."Adelle, I still love you, just as I love Alexa. Now, listen to me, divorce Michael as soon as possible and marry Kevin who is wealthy, Adelle."It turned out she was talking about her desire for Adelle to divorce Michael again. It seems she has hope if her eldest daughter is willing to follow her words.However, Adelle immediately shook her head and firmly rejected her mother's words."This is not the time to talk about that, Mom. We have to f
