Marry Back

"Mr Zack, you better not take me home."

"Why indeed?"

"Look, sir, I was afraid that when my parents found out you were taking me, they assumed you were my future husband."

"Don't be too confident! I can't possibly marry a demon like you!"

"It's not me sir, it's my parents. They could have thought of you as my future husband. Then you were forcibly married by my father. Do you want to marry me?"

"Of course not, that's disgusting! I don't want to marry a demon like you!"

"I don't want to marry a promising man like you either."

"What did you say?"

"No sir, I mean I don't want to marry anyone's husband either. What did the neighbor say, sir? The neighbor's mouth was far crueler than that of a crocodile. So, you better not drive me."

"Does that mean you don't want to come with me? Did you forget you had to be my assistant to pay me your debt?"

"God, sir, that's not what I meant. Tell you what, I went home to my own house, then you also went home to Master and waited for me while sitting sweetly in the house."

"What's waiting for you? I hate waiting!"

"Isn't it better to wait than not at all sir? Do you want me not to pay my debts?"

"Don't act like this much! Have you forgotten I can kill you anytime I want?"

"Master then it's better that I go home first, then master also return home. You are waiting for me, I mean. That's much better right than you being told to marry me?"

Zack seemed to think for a moment. "Good but you can't take too long! Don't you know I hate waiting!"

"No sir, just relax. I'm reliable."

"Well then, now you get down and go back to my house as soon as possible! And don't ever try to play me. I've wanted to leave as soon as possible to heal my wounds!"

Nala chuckled at Zack's words. "Hi demon lady, why are you smiling like that? You want to make fun of me, huh?"

"No sir, there's an ant coming into my ear so I laughed. Then I'll go down first."

Zack's men then stop the car, Nala then get down from Zack's car, while Zack just fell silent while staring at Nala with a stern look. "Basic of the stealth woman! If you don't owe me, I don't want to deal with you" Zack said, staring at Nala, who was taking a taxi to her house.

Nala who was already in the taxi also breathed her long breath. "Thankfully, he believed me. Then what should I tell Papa and Mama?" gerutu Nala's.

Slowly Zack went into the room, and observed every corner. A moment of sadness poured into his heart as he recalled the cheerful laughter of a woman who usually echoed throughout the corner of the room.

"Athena," he said softly. He then walked to the table in the corner of the room, took a picture of the picture on the table and looked at the photo with a very sad look.

"I'm sorry, Athena. I'm sorry I failed to take care of you. I'm sorry I broke my promise to Papa to always take care of you. But, I promise I'll get you out of Gerald as soon as possible. Even though Gerald is your older brother, but I know, he's definitely not going to treat you well. I know, you were just a tool for him to achieve his ambition, take the power that I have as the leader of the Mafia King" said Zack.

He opened one of the drawers on the table and took a picture. In the photo, three small children are sitting on a meadow, two boys, and a little girl are laughing so happily. Photos of three human children who are still so innocent, and do not understand what the lust of the world is. And, the third relationship is now destroyed by the lust that is in them, a lust of the world became the leader of the Mafia King who is currently in his grasp.

"I know, here my position is just a foster child, unlike the two of you who are his biological children. But your attitude has disappointed our parents too much, Gerald. You betrayed papa and cooperated with his arch-enemy. In the past, I never had any ambition for what I have right now, and I never intended to take any of this away from you. Right now I just don't want what my father left to be ruined because of you, it's enough that I failed to keep Athena, and I won't let me repeat the same mistake of letting you seize the Mafia King's power."

"Divorce from Zack?" ask Laurie back.

"Yes Laurie. Listen to me, now please stop your pretense, and tell your parents the truth if you're cured. Laurie, I'm sure your parents will support you, and protect you. Didn't you know your family also wants you to split up soon?"

"I know it's Alvaro, but it's not easy to get divorced from Zack."

"It's not easy how? Isn't this a good opportunity for you to escape from Zack? He's not in Indonesia right now, and you can free Laurie."

"Also I can't be free because his men are still everywhere, Alvaro. That's not an easy thing. And I'm sure, he also ordered his men to keep an eye on this hospital. We can't just outwit Zack, Alvaro."

"We're going to do it secretly, Laurie. You stay here until the divorce is over. No one knows you've regained consciousness except your family. I'll also cover up all the truth about you from Zack's men who were ordered to keep an eye on you at this hospital."

"But still I'm not sure, Alvaro. I'm not sure if Zack would just let me go."

"Laurie listen to me, you can file for divorce unilaterally. You can file for divorce on grounds of domestic violence. You have hard evidence of the violence Zack did to you, I can help you get out a visa about your condition Laurie. Just think about it, this is your chance to escape from Zack."

"Then do you think that once I get a divorce, I can just get away from Zack? He could do anything including kidnap me like he used to, then forcibly marry me back."

"Is Zack really that strong?"

"Of course Alvaro, I know Zack very well. She can do whatever she wants including remarrying me forcibly, even though we're divorced."

"Laurie, if you want to get out of Zack completely, you're gonna have to create a situation so he can't marry you again."

"What do you mean, Alvaro? I really don't understand."

"After the divorce, remarry Laurie. You should marry another man as soon as you're divorced from Zack."

"Married? But with whom?"

"With me?"
