The Billionaire's Revenge

Chapter 2

“No buts!" Gia shouted then and left Darren, who just looked down, lethargic, while continuing to clean up the shards of the flower vase.

"Just let me finish it, Bi," Darren said to Asih.

Darren felt so tired from the endless work. Before going to work, he does homework and will continue with other work after he comes home from work. Even Darren's rest time was only a few hours.

"Sir, just let Auntie." All of this is not your job, especially since you are the son-in-law in this house," said Bi Asih, who felt sorry for Darren.

Bi Asih felt sorry for Darren, even though it was the Martano family who needed him, but they never valued him.

"It's just a formality, Ms. So that the child who is born will have a father, even though in time he will definitely know that I am not his biological father," Darren replied, smiling.

"That's why they should be thanking you. Instead of torturing you like this, say this,"said Asih slowly.

"Fine, later it will be seen that if we talk, you will get in trouble," said Darren, reminding Bi Asih.

Indeed, there were many servants in the Martano family's house, but only Asih was the one who treated Darren well. The others instead followed their master.

To marry Renata, Darren actually lied to Martano.

"Marry my son, and I will pay as much as you ask," Martano said at the time when he called Darren into his room.

"Hah?!" Darren asked in surprise because this was the first time he had heard of the father of a woman asking a poor man like him to marry his son. Although at that time Darren did not know what kind of woman he would marry,

"Come Sunday morning to my house," continued Martano, looking at Darren sharply.

Actually, it's not without reason that Martano chose Darren to marry Maira; it's because he has investigated all of his employees who are still single. And Darren is the one who doesn't have a family because he comes from an orphanage that has been evicted. Also, Darren's face reminded Martano of a rival in the past who had died.

"But, sir...," said Darren, who tried to reject the offer made by Martano. Because of Darren, there must be something.

"I don't like rejection! And after all, after the child is born, you can divorce Renata on one condition: take the child away with you, and I will pay you again in return!" Martano answered, interrupting Darren's conversation. Until finally, Darren had no other choice but to obey. And Darren hopes that with the payment he gets, he can help his foster mother, who is experiencing financial problems.

After knowing the reason Martano asked him to marry Renata, he could only sigh heavily. I don't know what kind of woman he will marry until his parents solve the problem by finding him a husband.

Darren was really surprised again when he met Renata on their wedding day. It turned out that Renata was a very beautiful woman, and Darren seemed familiar with that face, as if he had met Renata before. And finally, Darren sincerely accepted Renata as his wife; even the seeds of love grew at first sight in his heart.

"Sir! Why are you daydreaming?"

Bi Asih's voice broke Darren's reverie. He was reminiscing about his memories.

"Ah yes, Mrs. I have to water the plants immediately." Darren stammered and rushed to the front yard garden. He would take care of the ornamental plants there and water the plants after he left for the Abitex Group office, his father-in-law's company.

This is Darren now, in a ten-story building with white paint. He had arrived at the Abitex office and started to do his job. It turned out that one of his colleagues was on leave; that's why his manager asked him to come earlier.

And today he had to finish his colleague's work cleaning several rooms, including Martano's room.

"So, the additional task in question is to replace Radi, sir?" Darren asked on the other end of the line. He was receiving a phone call from Mr. Kodir.

"Yes."

Darren felt cheated by Pak Kodir, who had not said anything before, and what was even more annoying this morning was that Pak Kodir instructed him to do it only over the phone. Even though he said they would meet at the office early in the morning.

Tut!

Darren disconnected the call because he was always the one who replaced each of his colleagues who were on leave. And strangely, when he wants to take time off, it's always hard to beg for mercy.

"Surely no one wants to replace Radi and come sooner! Just watch out if this time the overtime is cut. I've experienced a lot of things this morning because of this order; even now I haven't had time to eat breakfast," said Darren, annoyed, who inevitably had to finish the task because he had arrived at the office.

Kriet!

Darren opened the door to his father-in-law's room, as well as that of the owner of the large company. This is his second time coming here. The first was when he was asked to marry Renata, and the second is today. Darren noticed the room had a soft fruity scent and a slightly messy work table. Some papers were scattered over there; even the trash can was full of waste.

"He works to take out the trash, or what?" Darren asked in his heart and started cleaning, starting with tidying up the file cabinet, which looked very messy. Even Darren was surprised by what his father-in-law was doing because all the files didn't look neatly arranged.

"Has Radi not tidied up all this time? Or is it just messed up like this every day?" asked Darren, surprised.

However, when he saw that everything was free of dust, Darren was sure that all the files and every corner of the room were always cleaned. Moreover, Radi once told about their boss, who really didn't like it when he saw even a little dust. Then, for sure, he will be angry. That means all of this is cleaned every day; it's just that those are documents and reports that Martano has to check every day.

"It's desk time now," Darren said, relieved after tidying up the file cabinet.

Before wiping the table, Darren had to tidy up the messy files on the table first.

Suddenly….

Praak!

Several sheets of documents fell, and Darren quickly took the documents. However, he accidentally read a few lines of words that were there. Making his body seem frozen and speechless.

"Why does this document mention PT. Daze?" Darren asked in surprise, his eyes not leaving the document.

"What is the relationship between Papa and PT. Daze?" Darren asked again. Out of curiosity, Darren finally read the document in full, and it made his body vibrate and his jaw harden.

"This means..." Darren muttered through gritted teeth and grabbed the document for a quick copy before he was found out.
