Married for Revenge
Morning at the Dining Table

She sat on the stairs crying. Crying as much as possible, fortunately not a single employee or employee passed the stairs, so he could vent emotions in him. Slowly, Afika adjusted her breathing, then wiped her tears. Suddenly the door opened. Afika turned her head and her eyes immediately fell on the man who made her cry. A few minutes their eyes looked at each other, then Adrian immediately stepped wide towards Afika and hugged Afika's body.

"Take off me Adrian." Afika said while trying to release herself. However, the more Afika tried to take off, the tighter the hug given by Adrian. "You evil Adrian. You're evil." Afika continued, but Adrian still remained calm to let Afika who continued to speak said she was evil. And, as Afika's punch grew weaker, and Afika's speech now stopped, Adrian slowly rubbed Afika's head.

"I'm sorry, honey. This is all a misunderstanding." Adrian said. But Afika who was tired of crying and rebelling in Adrian's arms, did not pierce Adrian's speech at all. "I just love you, nothing else. This is all a misunderstanding." Now Adrian rubbed the back of Afika's shoulder again. "A lot of words you didn't listen to. I have proof, if you want to see and hear it then come into my room." The ink, then Adrian let go of his embrace, and looked at the face of Afika, whose eyes were now swollen from crying. Adrian then rubbed the remaining tears that are still on Afika's cheeks. "Sorry."

Now Adrian leads Afika into his room. Baby, Rio who was in front of Adrian's room, just kept silent when he saw Afika who was walking hand in hand with Adrian.

"Don't ruin the mood, miss." Rio said, when he saw Baby who also wanted to enter Adrian's room.

"Rio, let go of your hand. Don't you take me like that." Annoyed Baby, because Rio held her hand.

"Sorry miss." Immediately Rio let go of his hand before a matter occurred that would make him bother.

"All right, I'm not going in. Then call Nadi and get him to my room right now. Remember that! Now! Not later."

Afika smiled shyly when she saw and heard Adrian's words. Afika also reflexively closed her eyes with both hands.

"It's enough Adrian, I've believed." Afika. Then Afika tried to stand up, but Adrian quickly held Afika's body to make Afika again sit in Adrian's oversized chair.

"Frusted already? The man in his hand is his darling. So trust me, if I just love you. There's nothing else."

Now Afika opened her eyes, and Afika's eyes were fixed on the picture frame, where in the frame was a photo of her. The photo that I don't know since when Adrian took. Afika recalled that if not wrong this photo was taken while he was in the forest mension park.

"This.?" Afika took the photo and showed it to Adrian. With the position of Afika who now stands.

"That's my wife's picture."

"You see for yourself, dear." Adrian. Then Adrian sat in his great chair and led Afika to sit on his lap. "This is a photo I took while we were still in the jungle. And sorry for taking your picture in secret." Adrian hugged Afika's body from behind. And until now Afika has not realized that, even though a few days ago she was still traumatized by Adrian's embrace. Afika is still traumatized by events that allowed her to conceive.

"I know this in Adrian's Missions. But for what? Why is my picture here?"

Adrian breathed slowly

"I'm slow to realize that I love you Afika. Just looking at your picture can make me smile and be angry at the same time."

"meaning?"

"Darling, please,. My ego used to be too high until I didn't realize I loved you. In the past, seeing your picture always made me smile. But, simultaneously I was also angry because I knew you were close to Nadi. Not to mention, Baby always forced me to hate you." Adrian clear. Yes, indeed the Ego is too high makes him not realize if the name Afika already enthroned in his heart.

Afika looked over, and now the two eyes looked at each other.

Moments later, Adrian immediately landed a kiss on Afika's lips.

"I love you my wife."

Spontaneous Afika immediately stood up because he realized that he was currently on the lap of Adrian and Adrian hugged him.

"I'll go home first. Lion is waiting for me." Soon Afika came out of Adrian's room, making Adrian smile.

Adrian felt very happy about this incident. Because at least now Adrian knows, if it's true Afika also loves him. It's just that, Afika may not be able to escape from the dark memories Adrian gave.

"I'll wait for you, baby."
