Arjun was surprised to hear what Alex said

"she's my wife" said the word ringing in Arjun's head, so Alex was the man who had married Alika.

Where they know each other

once I was Alika did not hang out with many people and I never knew she had a friend named Alex from college days used to be "inner Arjun

" is he paying more than us? "lina said that was burning with emotion

" keep your word "Alex.

" if your father needed more money he should have spoken to us instead of offering you to someone else.

from the beginning I never liked you but because my son loves you so much I want to accept you"Lina

"that's what MA is, why argue here

many people are watching.

we should not drop our pride in front of others because of lowly people like them.

we should be thankful we don't have a daughter-in-law like this woman. Arjun deserves better" Jordan

Alika cried and did not dare to speak at all, because what they said was true.

his father sold himself.

Arjun was unable to say what, his heart was so hurt that the woman he loved so much now belonged to someone else.

Arjun clasped Alika's hand

"Al, come back with me. I really can't do it without you" Arjun pleaded with Alika

Alex pulls Arjun's hand

"keep your word, she's my wife.

once again you dare touch her I'll break your dirty hands" Alex

"i will definitely take it back" Arjun whispered in Alex's ear

"i won't let you take anything away from me, how it feels when someone else grabs something valuable in your life" Alex said

Jordan took his family away from there.

alika is silent and busy with her own thoughts

"i want to go home" Alika

Alex took Alika away from there, in the middle of the road Alika arrived and told Alex to stop his car.

"explain to me, what really happened and what is your purpose in marrying me? " allika.

Alex was silent and willing to speak up for a bit

"from the beginning of my life was not mine, I was always led to do things that were profitable for my father and mother.

now I want to find out why you married me. Please tell me" Alika

Alex took a deep breath, though,

Alex told me all about his life

how Arjun seizes all his happiness and how they are evicted from their own home

"so you married me just to avenge the pain you've received because of Arjun?

you made me the ingredient for your revenge? " ask Alika with emotion

"yes, just so he knows what it's like when happiness is taken away from him, this is just the beginning" Alex

"why should I? what wrong? " allika.

"because Arjun loves you so much, that's the only reason I married you" Alex

Alika did not say anything else, Alex drove back to the house

up at home Alika got out of the car without talking anything else and went straight into the room

Alika shuts herself in the room, she doesn't want to meet Alex.

Alex leaves Alika without any intention of persuading Alika.

In the morning, Alika did not come down to eat, when Joko delivered food to her room, she also did not open the door.

Until night Alika remained silent in her room and did not eat at all.

Alex came home from the office and asked Joko

"Alika where is sir? " Alex

"stay in the master's room, the madam hasn't even come out to eat since last night" Joko explained

"let's just say, if he can't hold his hungry stomach he must come out" Alex said indifferently

Alex walks into his room and cleans up. He finishes cleaning himself straight to the work house and checks some files.

After finishing his work Alex returned to his room, Alex turned to his closed room.

chapter 22

Alex opens Alika's room with a absorbent key.

Alex orders Alika down and eats but Alika ignores Alex's orders.

Alika is silent and does not respond to anything Alex says.

Alex goes downstairs and orders Joko to prepare food for Alika,

Alex brings food to Alika's room

"eat" Alex

Alika ignored Alex.

Alika pulled the blanket and covered all her body.

Alex begins to grow furious as Alika continues to ignore him, she pulls the blanket that covers Alika's body.

"quickly sit down and eat" Alex ordered

seeing Alika who is still loyal to her position, Alex's emotions peak.

Alex pulls Alika and sits Alika down but she insists on not eating.

"i'm not good at persuading, don't make me force you to eat my own way" Alex snapped

seeing Alika who was loyal to her position, Alex put food in her mouth and after that she gripped Alika's chin and opened Alika's mouth forcibly.

Alex brought her lips closer to Alika's mouth.

seeing that Alika immediately pushed Alex

"what are you doing? " said Alika shouting

"i told you that I'm not good at persuading, that I can do it like this.

so if you don't want me to force you my way then finish the food immediately.

or I'll force you to eat my way" Alex

Alika immediately snatches the plate from Alex's hand and starts eating the food.

after finishing eating Alika walked over and put the dishes on the nightstand

"i've eaten it to the end, now what else are you waiting for. quickly get out of my room because I want to sleep" Alika

"this is my house, why you kicked me out of my own house. All this house is mine" Alex

"yes I know that, I am also yours because you have bought me and I have no right whatsoever over myself.

thank you dear Mr. Alex for buying this worthless me" Alika

"stop talking like that, I don't like to hear it" Alex said snapping alika

"why don't you like it? the truth is you did buy my life" Alika

Alex was upset by what Alika said, Alex came out of the room without replying to Alika.

Alex called Reyhan

"find out everything about the Jordan family, figure out a way that I can have a stake in their company" Alex orders..

"get the commander ready" Reyhan replied from there

Alex sits alone in his study, remembering everything that happened.

he remembered his past

There were many obstacles he faced to get to his current position.

"mother, can you see me from there

I met them earlier

I'll avenge everything

I'll bring back all the pain and humiliation we've received" Alex said as he looked at a picture of his mother at his desk.

Alex fell asleep in his office.

In the morning Alika was awake and she was helping the worker who was cooking in the kitchen.

Alex came down in neat clothes, it seemed that he was already preparing to go to the office.

Alika to say hello to Alex

"what are you doing? " ask Alex to see Alika who is filling food into the lunch box

"i want breakfast at the boutique "briefly replied Alika

"please have breakfast" Alex said in a commanding tone

"no" argued Alika

"sit down, I don't want to be denied.

if you keep arguing I'm gonna ban you from going to the boutique again and I'm gonna close your boutique for good" Alex snapped

Without answering Alika sat down and filled her plate with food.

Alika ate her breakfast quickly but made the slightest sound.

Alex glanced at Alika, there was guilt in Alex's heart seeing the state of Alika.

"today I'll take you to the boutique, I want to see and check the progress of the boutique" Alex said

Alex ate his breakfast casually while playing a cell phone.

bab23

Alika was silent in her office, she did everything. It felt like his life was like a toy that everyone could play with at will.

Alika cried remembering everything that happened to her

"busy, can I get in" Laura said

Laura is one of the employees who works at Alika's boutique.

"come in" Alika said as she cleaned up the remaining tears in her eyes

Laura walked in and explained a few things to Alika about the boutique sale.

Alika was unfocused and her eyes looked blank

Laura held Alika's hand

"what are you thinking? if you need a friend to tell you a story, then I'm ready to be your friend" Laura said

Alika looked at Laura, only this time there was someone who was being kind and understanding Alika

"do you want to be my friend? ask Alika

" yes, we are friends" said Laura while smilingly looking at Alika

Alika tells her life story to Laura but she does not tell the story of her marriage to Alex.

he only told me about his life while living with his adoptive parents.

" my mother and I were not much different, I also lived alone after my parents died.

I used to live with my uncles and aunts but after I finished High School I asked my aunt for permission to live alone.I can't bear to continue to be a burden on my uncles and aunts." said Laura

"don't call me mom, call me Al, we're friends so don't be awkward" Alika said

"but you have uncles and aunts who love you differently than I do.

I've never had the affection of my father and mother" Alika

"thankfully, at least they raised you, now live life and enjoy life.

fight until people can't look us one eye" Laura

Alika and Laura share a story,

Alika is very entertained because only this time she has friends nudu share stories.

after returning home from the boutique Alika and Laura stopped by the cafe next to the boutique while waiting for the usual driver to pick up Alika.

Alex parked his car in front of Alika's boutique.

seeing the closed boutique Alex picks up his phone and calls Alika

"i'm in front of the boutique, get out quickly" Alex said

"i'm at a cafe near the boutique, come here" alika.

Alex immediately disconnects his call and follows Alika to the cafe. Alex sees Alika telling a story and laughs with Laura.

"just this time I saw him laughing afterwards" Alex said in his heart

Laura who saw Alex's arrival immediately stood up and bowed her body slightly to pay her respects.

"sit down, continue your story" Alex said

"tumben, where did you pick me up, the usual driver? " ask Alika

"he's allowed to go home for a week, his son's married" Alex

"do you want to go straight home? " ask Alika

"are you guys done? if it's then we can go home but if you're not done I'll wait" Alex

"tumben she's being sweet, is it because there's Laura here" said Alika

Because of feeling bad for Alex, Alika immediately invited Alex to go home

Alex offers Laura a ride but Laura refuses as she is also waiting for her boyfriend to pick her up.

In the car

"isn't he an employee at your boutique? " Alex

"yes, why? can't I be friends with him because he's just an employee. Will you also limit my friendships? " Alika

"no, I didn't mean it that way.

I never looked at people by their social status because I used to be just like them before I was in my current position." Alex

Alika looked at Alex, she did not expect there was a soft side in Alex.

"so can I be friends with him? " ask Alika

"if you feel fit there's no harm, no harm,

have you not had any friends before? " ask Alex.

"no, I've never allowed my mom and dad to hang out with people.

and people also no one is interested in being friends with me" replied Alika

After that they are both equally silent and busy with their respective thoughts until they arrive home.

chapter 24

Today Alika woke up early and as usual she made breakfast.

Alika packed the provisions for her to take to the boutique after finishing arranging breakfast for Alex at the dining table.

After finishing preparing breakfast Alika returned to her room, Alika took a shower and prepared to be ready to leave for the boutique.

As she was descending Alika looked at Alex who was enjoying her breakfast.

"have you had breakfast? " ask Alex when she sees Alika coming down the stairs

"no, I'm having breakfast at the boutique with Laura" Alika

"sit down, after I finish breakfast we'll go together" Alex

Alika did not answer and followed Alex's words,. Alika sat in front of Alex.

Alex enjoys his breakfast while playing the phone, because he was busy playing Alex's phone dropped the glass and accidentally the broken glass hurt Alex's hand

Alika swiftly picked up the P3k box and immediately cleaned Alex's wound

after his face was cleared, Alika wrapped Alex's hand in a bandage.

"i've hurt her feelings but she's still taking care of me" Alex said in her heart.

"if you eat again do not be busy playing mobile phones, see your hands become wounds like this" said Alika blabbering

After all, they prepared to leave, because the condition of Alex's hand which was bandaged thick by Alika made it difficult for Alex to drive.

Alika replaces Alex to drive and take Alex to his office when she arrives at Alika's office to help Alex bring Alex's briefcase to her office.

When entering the company all eyes look at Alex and Alika, the article is the first time Alika visited her husband's company.

Alex has never taken a woman into his office.

From far away Reyhan saw the arrival of Alex and Alika immediately approached Alex

"whys hand? " ask Reyhan in panic

"because of the broken glass" Alex answered briefly

"is it so bad that you have to be escorted to the office by your wife" Reyhan

"no ordinary wound, but look at it

he wrapped my hand in this thick bandage, he turned my hand into a mummy and he wouldn't let me drive" Alex said, showing his hand on Alika's bandage

Reyhan laughed at Alex's hand

After arriving at Alex's office, Alika intends to leave to go to her boutique.

Alika sees Alex having trouble tidying up her tie

Without talking Alika helps Alex tidy up his tie. After that Alika paid to go to the boutique.

"wait a minute, let me have Reyhan deliver you" Alex.

"no need, I can take a taxi" Alika subtly refused

"don't argue, wait a minute.

you go between Reyhan or you can't leave at all" Alex

"yes, I will be among Reyhan.satisfied" Alika said with annoyance

Alex orders Reyhan to drive Alika to the boutique.

In the car

"have you known Alex for a long time? " ask Alika to Reyhan

"yes, we've known him since he was in school" Reyhan

"is he really rude and cold like that from a long time ago" asked Alika

Reyhan laughed at Alika's question

"Alex is actually a kind and affectionate person, try to understand him first

once you understand him, you can feel his kindness

it's just that he always fortifies himself with a hard and cold attitude so that others do not look at him lightly" Reyhan explained

Alika did not respond to Reyhan's words

"he is the theme, of course he will defend his friend and boss" Alika muttered in her heart

Reyhan stopped his car right at Alika's boutique.

"thank you for driving me" Alika said as she got out of the car

"mm, I hope you can be patient with Alex" Reyhan said as Alika turned around.

"yes, how else. I have to be patient and resigned to my life.he has bought me so there is no reason for me not to accept and live this as he wants" alika said as she walked leaving Reyhan who was looking to hear the Alika's narration.

"you must feel that this is unfair to you, but if you can conquer Alex's heart you will be the happiest woman in the world" Reyhan said after Alika's departure
