Husband From Hell (Home From Hell)
Message from someone
Arriving at his luxury apartment, Nicholas immediately grabbed a towel and walked towards the bathroom.
"You can use my bed ... Rest up! I'll clean my body first." Nicholas said as he left Jennifer who was sitting on her bed.
"Yes, baby." Jennifer's spoiled answer ended with her spoiled smile.
After Nicholas literally went into the bathroom and heard splashing water falling on the floor, Jennifer shuffled out of the room and walked to the balcony.
Reynald, who is still working on some of Nicholas' documents, noticed something suspicious about Jennifer's behavior.
Why is Jennifer acting suspicious?
Arriving in front of the balcony, Jennifer took out a flat object from inside her bag, then pressed several digits of the number and managed to connect with a woman.
"So I overheard Nicholas and Reynald talking in the car. Apparently Nicholas hired a waitress and also a security guard for that cheap lady." Jennifer.
"That's it ... Ckkk, your information is stale. I already know that, Jennifer."
Jennifer was surprised, "Well, do you have a spy besides me?"
Jennifer's startled voice made Reynald narrow his eyes even more.
"You think?" The woman behind the phone Jennifer laughed, upsetting Jennifer.
"What's your next plan then?" Ask Jennifer.
"I've prepared everything, you just need to keep an eye on Nicholas so as not to misstep. I don't want all my plans to be ruined just because of love."
"Trust me with that. I'm not gonna let Nicholas love Natalie."
"Hahaha ... Can I trust you this time?"
"You doubt me?" Grumpy Jennifer.
"Hahaha, why are you so upset with me? just do your job! don't ever let me down, or ... "
"Or what, are you threatening me?"
"No...just a warning!"
"All right, looks like Nicholas's done taking a bath. I don't want him to suspect me. I'll tell you more about the next information."
Tut ...
The phone connection was immediately decided by Jennifer when she found Nicholas already standing behind her.
"What meda? you haven't slept?" Nicholas asked as he rubbed his head with a small towel.
"Dear not yet, I'm not sleepy." Replied Jennifer who walked over to Nicholas, intending to hug him.
But with a quick movement, Nicholas avoided the woman's embrace by quibbling his little towel, which managed to make Jennifer snort annoyed.
"I want a drink. Will you accompany me tonight?" Jennifer walked towards the fridge where Nicholas used to store a lot of drinks there.
"No, Jen. You can't drink." Nicholas's hand held Jennifer's hand, which was about to grab a bottle. "You forgot, if you're still recovering. You don't act stupid."
Jennifer snorted in annoyance as Nicholas held her hand. "Little bit! I haven't had a drink with you in a long time."
"No, Jen. I said no yes no." Stroke Nicholas with a high tone. "If you won't listen to my words. Reynald will take you tonight."
Nicholas' threat is sweet. Jennifer took her foot out of the closet. But Jennifer's wits don't end there. He won't miss tonight just like that.
This time my plan has to work.
"Well, if you won't let me drink. I'm gonna make some warm chocolate." Jennifer pursed her lips. He walked out of the room, into the kitchen. "Do you want me to make it?" Jennifer asked before she actually got out of the room.
"Hmpppws. Sure, but don't be too thick." Replied the original Nicholas and laid his body on the sofa. Tonight it looks like he has to give up his bed for someone else. Because she also couldn't sleep with Jennifer in the same bed.
"All right," said Jennifer, closing the door.
"Reynald, you can go home tonight!" Tell Nicholas to the man who is still standing in the corner of the door.
"But, Mister. What about Jennifer?... Are you sure, I should leave you two sleeping here?"
Nicholas chuckles amusedly at Reynald's question.
"Hey, what do you think I'm gonna do?"
Reynald. Shortly afterwards he scratched his non-itchy nape.
"Ma_sorry, Sir. I mean, shouldn't I just wait outside. So ... If you need anything, you can call me."
"You wanna stand all night outside like a schoolboy who doesn't do his PR?"
"Ti_no, sir."
"Yes, then go home! .. Jennifer's business, let me handle it. It's okay, he's not violent." Nicholas snatched a cell phone next to the sofa.
"All right, sir." Reynald bowed his body, saluting the man in front of him.

Helena stared at the drooping female body nanar on the dining table. Who else if not Natalie. The woman had already been asleep for more than two hours, only to wait for someone who did not yet know her certainty.
"Miss," Helena touched Natalie's hand slowly.
"Hmppp," Natalie piqued and blinked her eyes, holding back the glare of the luxurious dining room lamp. "Is it morning?"
Helena smiled wryly, "no, Miss. It's only 11 p.m. Better to go back to the room. You may not be coming home tonight." Guess Helena.
"Ah, so is it."
Disappointment on Natalie's face. While tidying her hair, Natalie got out of her chair and just left Helena.
Tling
Natalie's phone is shaking. He immediately opened the message he had just entered.
Father: Natalie, can you help me? two men just came to the house and charged 20 million rupiah. They say, mom bought stuff but until now your mom hasn't paid for it. Dad doesn't have that kind of money. They threatened to report this to the authorities if we can't pay it tomorrow.
Natalie grunts annoyed.
20 Million, that much?
Where am I the money from?
My 3-month salary just can't cover it. The rest of the money in the ATM has stayed a little, and even then a few days ago I had transferred to the ATM mother. Now ask for another 20 million. Where should I help from?
Natalie: I don't have that kind of money, Dad. But tomorrow I'll try to talk to Nicholas. Maybe he'll help.
Natalie splashed her body and cell phone on the bed together. The annoyance kept eating away at his mind. His mother always does it. Natalie doesn't want to help her own parents. But he was sure, if Dad had dared to ask him for help, it means that his father was in a very difficult time, and asking for help to his son was the last option chosen by his father.
I must have been very tormented because of Mom's behavior.
Tling, the phone's shaking again. He read it back.
Father: Thank you, dear. Please apologize to your husband. And tell him too, I'll replace him if you get your salary, baby.
Natalie smiled reading the incoming message from her father. He knew full well that his father had not intended to trouble him. But Natalie is happy because she feels lucky to be married to a rich man. Not because Natalie is realistic, but at least she can help her family if in a difficult time like this.
Natalie: Don't think about that dad. I'm sure Nicholas won't charge you. It's night, daddy sleep! I'm going to sleep too.
Dad: You're with Nicholas, aren't you? sorry I interrupted your night.
Natalie's smile faded instantly while reading the contents of the message just now.
It should have been, but the truth is he wasn't there next to me Dad. He was too busy with his work.
Natalie: Yeah, Dad. I slept first!
Father: Yes baby, good night.
Natalie threw her phone at him. A second later, he closed both his eyes. The thought of where her husband was at this moment had incessantly filled her mind.
Hey, have you had dinner yet? shower already? have you taken your vitamins?
Natalie kept muttering in her heart.
*It turns out this is what it's like to be the wife of a leader. Not everything is fun, even more depressing.
Slender.
If I could choose, I would like to have an ordinary husband.
Like my father, for example.
Always there for his wife and children.
Have many treasures and abundant but never for what?
Will you continue like this someday?
Hmppp, May you be healthy always, my husband*.
Natalie's daydreaming event ends when a message re-enters her phone.
Tling , a message back to make Natalie's phone screen on.
"ish, this father. It's night instead of sleep, why still send a message. It really can't be naseha_"
Natalie's words come to a halt, when the incoming message turns out not from her father, but from a new number
