Bound Marriage Contract
CHAPTER 21
Still at the restaurant where Keyla had dinner with Alex, Keyla waited for an invitation from her private driver.
"Hi good night Keyla, being alone." A man greeted Keyla.
"Right, I seem to recognize you but I don't know where." Keyla said while scratching his non-itchy nape
"Do you remember who I am?"
"I'm sorry the guy's a little forgetful, can you introduce your name?"
Anton chuckles at Keyla. "There's no need to be formal with me let alone I'm Alex's best friend. You can call me Anton."
"Ohiya yes, I'm sorry I forgot your name."
"Where is Alex going?"
"He's gone first because there's an urgent need, you uh I mean who are you with?"
"I was waiting for my friend to bring me here. It's just that I saw you sitting alone here so I moved here too." Anton answered casually.
"I came home first the driver who picked me up came. See you soon." said Keyla politely.
"Yes, be careful." Anton waved his hand.
The woman is very kind and polite, what is less than the woman who can make Alex still choose Mira to be the purpose of his life. Beauitiful? His wife is also very beautiful, even her beauty can fall into the category of the most beautiful women in the world.
Text message
Alex: The driver picked you up, hasn't he?
Keyla: Already, it's me again on the way, you don't go home?
Keyla glanced towards her phone screen to wait for a reply from Alex, no reply. She wanted to call her husband to ask him where he was going.
On the way Keyla kept thinking about Alex. Where did the man actually go? why just to reply to a single message from him was so difficult.

Alex Pov~
The more I wanted to stay away from her, the more I tried to make her hate me the more it hurt my heart to see her face that looked so innocent.
"*Alex I want you to keep all your promises to marry me after my contract expires."
"You know the greatest goal of my life is to spend the rest of my life with you."
"lik! In fact, you have not divorced the woman. You could've told your parents that you didn't fit in with him."
"Mira I ask you please understand me for now. I can't let Keyla go that easily."
"Why huh? Do you love her now."
"Yes*."
The quarrel that happened last afternoon with Mira made me even more guilty of hurting her heart. The only woman I ever loved, I never felt in love before I met her.
"You hurt me Alex, you hurt me. You know the reason I'm still alive is all because of you."
"I'll believe it if you divorce the woman. I gave you a month. Or you'll never see me again in this world*."
Mira gave me a very difficult choice in my life, they are very meaningful women in my life.
Tonight, the night that I first invited my wife to dinner outside she looks so beautiful even though she's dressed so modestly.
"What is this for."
I'd love to answer 'I don't want a lot of men to see your beautiful body'. But it's stupid of me to just give you an answer that's not the answer to your question.
"Just don't ask too many questions."
Do I feel guilty for acting like that? yes of course, of course not! I don't feel guilty because my goal now is to erase the love that shouldn't have grown up in this crazy marriage.
"What are you thinking about? Why did you just stay quiet and pensive like that." Mira who was beside woke me from the daydream.
"No, I'm just thinking about work in the office how I can get things done quickly before our engagement day." I deliberately lied to her so that Mira would not be angry with me anymore.
After I left my wife alone at the restaurant earlier I accidentally visited Mira in her apartment to get used to my lover again. I just want every beat of my heart just for Mira.
"Honey you know, actually I'd mind a little if our engagement is not much know. Especially as a public figure, people should know about my status." Said Mira who was spoiled with me. He kept his hands on my neck.
"Not to worry. There will come a time when the world will know I'm just yours." I tried to make Mira happy, even though my heart refused.
"Thank you." Mira peeped my cheek.
There was no feeling of wanting to reciprocate with what Mira was doing.
"It's almost midnight, I have to go home."
"Why don't you just stay the night, I still miss you so much." Rengek Mira dengen tightened his embrace.
"I have to go home, tomorrow there will be a meeting in the morning." I didn't return her every hug, she kept her head buried in my neck.
"Had Mira not been so spoiled like this, there's still tomorrow for us to meet."
"Tomorrow to accompany me to shopping, I want to buy the latest bag from my favorite brand."
"All right, now let go of your embrace. I have to get home soon." I pulled his arm that was still tightly coiled around my body. Mira is very fond of spoiled but I do not like it a little if she gets too much like this.
"hmm, Alex I'm going to the salon."
I understand with the intent of Mira.
"this is you wear it as much as you are happy, I say yes dear." I handed him a credit card, pulled him into my arms.
"Thank you." A smile immediately expands on his lips. "You're heart-hearted yes."
I took my foot to get out of Mira's apartment. I'm headed to the elevator door that's gonna take me out of this apartment building.
Once in the car my brain re-thought of Keyla who I left alone in the restaurant earlier. Is he asleep now?
"How can I let you go Keyla, and my whole mind is filled with you."
"You should know, I hurt your feelings it's not my will. Everything I do to make you hate me, I can't see your eyes, your face when you cry. I just want you to hate me, Keyla."
I screamed and talked to myself while hitting the steering wheel firmly in my face. I don't care if anyone listens to me. Let people say I'm stupid or crazy. Because it's true, I'm really stupid to let go of my wife. And crazy I've hurt the heart of a woman absorbed by Keyla, I know she's just pretending to be strong in my face.
But now not only was his heart hurting, but it also hurt to see the woman crying as I snapped at her and behaved indifferently when faced with me. He's really good at taking half my attention.
