CHEATING IS BEAUTIFUL IN THE BEGINNING

Chapter 10

My relationship with Dion is getting worse, Amanda's not leaving. I caught their conversation a few times, and I heard clearly, Amanda was pressing to get married.

Dion, after last night, his attitude was normal. He's not back like he used to be. That night was probably just lust. I had misinterpreted that her treatment was love, but she saw me only as a woman who could satisfy her lust that night because Amanda was not home.

My work now, just watching their affection. Cook, wash Dion's clothes, and Dion's thing becomes Amanda's duty. Now I'm free to go anywhere without worrying about Dion.

"Married me as soon as Dion. Let you still be the husband of Elisha. I'd be willing if we had to marry Siri for a while."

"No way Manda, I have to divorce Elisha first, then I can marry you."

"When are you going to divorce her?"

Dion was silent for a moment, irritating me and letting me answer.

"Now we're getting divorced!"

They think I'm not home. I was going to see Diana, but my phone was missing. They were unaware of my arrival. Dion was surprised, but I think he was just pretending. In his heart he must be happy because now I really want to separate.

"Elisa?" Dion's voice was full of astonishment.

"Wait for what else Dion, I willingly want to get away from you. Today I will also file for divorce in court. Your videos and photos are enough proof, so I won't have any trouble."

"Elisa wait, I want to talk!" Shouted Dion, after I ran out.

I decided to call Rendi, what Dion was doing was out of bounds and Rendi could understand my feelings. He will help us with our divorce.

***

"I beg Elisha, don't do this." The one who begged me was Dion. She followed me to court, I haven't been able to hand over the files, Dion came to see me first.

"What do you want Dion?"

"Our happiness. Me, you and Diana."

Dion's gone crazy, does he want me to bless his marriage to Amanda. Honestly, I don't want to be cheated on.

"Dion, I'm sick of it. I'm sure my decision is the best."

"Aren't you going to hold on for Diana?"

"No longer, Diana knew who she had to be with."

"Elisa, you've changed so quickly. No matter how much I hurt you, you're always strong."

No more embedding of the word 'mas' for a man without a heart. Maybe it's just a shits to hurt me again.

"If we don't get divorced, will you leave Amanda?"

"of course. Just so you know, I never loved him. Everything I do is a show."

"Theatricality?" I don't know what Dion meant.

"If it's just a show, you won't bring Amanda to your house!" The joint that was standing next to me, finally spoke up. He proved that he was on my side. Rendi wasn't afraid of losing her job to help me.

"You are silent Rendi!" It seemed like Dion had been harboring resentment towards Rendi ever since.

"Dion, I didn't expect you to make it this far."

"Rendi, you who have been far away meddling in my affairs and Elisha!"

"Already Dion, even if you have performed, I still want to separate."

"Elisa, please listen to my explanation!"

"It's obvious, Dion." Rendi defended.

"Join! Be quiet! I knew you wanted Elisha!"

Suddenly my body went limp, looking at Rendi who was no longer reacting. He didn't dodge when Dion said that, and I thought, really, why did he help me until now, if there wasn't something he wanted

"Is that really Rendi?" I whispered.

Rendi was silent, fixated, then retreated slowly.

I don't understand everything that's going on. Even if what Dion said was true, why didn't Rendi help me get away from Dion so quickly and she could take my heart.

"What a blank, don't look for a scapegoat." I tried to brush off Dion's words, the feeling issues I would have taken care of lately. Rendi has helped a lot, I owe her.

"Rendi, don't go. Stay by my side, with me until I'm completely divorced from the man who always hurts me."

***

Rendi told me to give Dion a chance to explain what really happened. My race has slowly begun to fade. I'm lazy to talk to Dion again. I used to beg for love but he never thought I existed.

"Well, explain what you want to explain. Right here!" I'm holding Rendi, let her see what Dion's about to say.

"I'm sorry, maybe you're having a hard time accepting this fact, but I'm doing all this for the wholeness of our love. I want to live with you without being surrounded by bad people."

I looked into those beautiful eyes, like he wasn't joking.

"I admit, my relationship with Fania is not a fabrication. It all happened because I was consumed by the words of a mother who told me that you actually did not love me. You just want my treasure.

I took a deep breath, enduring the pain of the wound that had reopened. Fania, what an incident I want to forget.

"Elisa, in the end I know, it was actually mam who was crazy about father's treasure. All the ways he's done include sending Amanda into our lives."

Dion looked at me, I didn't know whether to be happy or to stay in disappointment.

"I swear, I never touched Amanda. I just pretended to love her and promised to marry her, just to get proof of embezzlement at the company that mom did, and that's all with Amanda's help."

I turned towards Rendi to get an answer, that Dion's words were true.

Rendi nodded.

"If all this is true, why do you treat me that way? I feel like you're not in love anymore."

"I don't want my plan to fail. For the sake of evidence to get mom out of the company and also put her in jail."

"If only you would share with me, I would join the show. Unfortunately, in your eyes, your company is worth more than I feel!"

I was emotional and spontaneously entered in Rendi's arms, unaware I had soaked the surface of her suit. Seeing the furious Dion, Rendi immediately pushed me.

Dion is seen swallowing the saliva, he approaches Rendi.

"When have you been in contact?"

"Dion!" I'm yelling.

"What relationship?" I don't understand.

"You're having an affair, aren't you?"

Once Dion accused me, it was clearly he who always betrayed me. My tears are falling, my cheeks are getting wet. It was very desirable for me to hit Dion who had stepped on this pride.

"Dion! we're just good friends, watch your talk. You don't deserve Elisa anymore, you just apologized, now tell me we cheated." Boldly Rendi retorted Dion's angry gaze.

Buk!!!

Dion beat up Rendi, his emotions were already at the top. I feel guilty that Dion vented anger on an innocent man.

Rendi collapsed, I quickly helped her to wake up.

"okay! if you have no relationship. I'm asking you, you're not demanding a divorce." Dion's hand gripped both of my shoulders. He is not a man who easily uses his hands on anyone when he is emotional, including me.

"I want a divorce!" No matter he was burning jealous or instead he also felt his pride being stepped on. Seeing his behavior like that, I'm sure if I give him a chance, then I'll never be happy.

"I beg you, Elisha. Right now I'm gonna kick Amanda out of the house. Because I've taken care of the company and put mommy out and put her in jail!"

I've always relented, and I've endured all this time for Diana's sake. But my heart is not steel that can be stepped on. Nor am I a doll they can play at will.

The father who actually knew about this play, was instrumental in unmasking his young wife. If father and Dion had talked to me about this, I wouldn't have been in pain.
