I'm Not a Cheap Woman

Zionel Apartment

Stevani continued to widen his eyes as he looked at the large building in front of him. The elite apartment area looks very charming. The day is getting night, the lights that decorate the building add to its beauty.

"Welcome to my apartment" Zionel said.

Stevani continued to stare at the building regardless of what Zionel said. Alex was busy picking up the things Stevani was carrying.

"Am I going to stay here?" ask Stevani.

"Of course, do you expect to live in Cruise's mansion right away?" Zionel.

"When did I say it? Then where are you gonna live?"

"Of course it's here too."

Stevani surprised. "What do you mean?"

"Do you still not understand, this is my apartment. I've lived here for a long time, and you're certainly living with me."

"Don't Zio dream, I won't stay at home with you."

"Oh my God, did you forget that you were going to be my wife for a year?"

"But it's only on paper."

"Fuck the deal, which is clear for a year you will be my legal wife. You're gonna stay with me and follow all I say, and that's if you still want your sister to get the best care."

"Damn it... He just keeps using Zaline as my weakness" Stevani thought.

Zionel steps into the apartment building followed by Alex carrying Stevani's belongings. Stevani stops Alex.

"Let me just Alex."

"No need, lady, I can do it. Come on in, it's getting dark."

Stevani took a deep breath and nodded. He followed Zionel to the elevator door. The three entered the elevator to the 14th floor where Zionel lived.

Zionel stared at the item Alex was carrying while raising next to his eyebrows. "You should have left all your belongings behind, because I'm sure everything you're carrying won't be used here."

"Why?"

"Because I'm taking you to the boutique, you have to look attractive and classy. Don't argue with me, Stevani, I'm doing this to protect you from my family" Zionel said before Stevani spoke up.

The woman looked at her own appearance, she let out a long sigh back because indeed her appearance was not worthy of being with Zionel Cruise at this time.

"I don't mind your appearance right now. Just have an umbrella before it rains. Please understand, I don't mean anything else." added Zionel.

Stevani was so tired of fighting again, he nodded his head. Zionel was surprised to get such a response, he looked at Alex questioningly. Alex just smiled his smile while shrugging his shoulders.

"Am I crazy? Why would I rather this woman argue with me than be the submissive one she is now? Come on, Zio, aren't you tired of the cold war with him." Zionel thought.

The elevator doors opened, the three of them exited the elevator. Zionel pressed a few numbers to open the door of his apartment. When it opened, the man opened the door wide.

"Come in..."

Stevani hesitated, looking into the still dark room. Zionel went in first and pressed the light switch, the room was instantly bright.

"Come on, miss, your stuff is pretty heavy." asked Alex who was still behind Stevani.

"Oh sorry.." Stevani replied as she walked in.

Stevani was again surprised to see the contents of Zionel's apartment, the room was really luxurious complete with goods.

"Why are you still standing, sit down... You must be tired. If you want to take a shower, the bathroom is next to that room. But now I'm going to take a shower first. Lex.

"All right sir." Alex replied.

Zionel leaves them for his bathroom.

"Lex. Let me just, you just show me the dressing room. I'm more comfortable calling your name, so I'll call you in front of Zio" Stevani said.

Alex chuckles. "You must get used to miss, Mr. Zio is indisputable. He'll really fire me if you come back to call my name. One day you'll know why he doesn't like you calling my name."

"He's an arrogant man, why should I follow his words?"

"Miss has to read the marriage contract again, there it is clearly stated."

"We go to the dressing room first, come on.." take Alex.

Stevani follows Alex to the dressing room. The woman's mouth immediately gaped when she saw Zionel's clothes, ties, watches and various accessories neatly arranged there. Slowly Alex land takes some Zionel clothes to make room for a bit.

"Hung your clothes here" Alex said.

"Huh? My clothes don't deserve to be with his expensive clothes."

Alex laughs. "Just do it, lady, this is also my job, please don't trouble me. I'm actually hungry."

"I'm sorry I held you back and troubled you. Okay..."

Stevani began to arrange her clothes, as she took her underwear, she was confused where to put them. He might have let Zionel see it. Alex knew what Stevani was thinking, the man opened a still-empty drawer.

"You can put the secret here" Alex said.

Stevani's face flushed. "I'm..."

"It's okay miss, Mr. Zio will definitely not touch this drawer. I'll tell him."

Stevani nodded her head. "Quick say, what is the content of the contract. I'm really sorry I didn't read it first."

Alex took a breath. "I shouldn't have told you straight away, you can read it later. But to treat your curiosity, I will mention some of the conditions proposed by Mr. Zio. First, you can touch each other if it's necessary in an urgent situation."

"But I told you not to touch me during the contract." Stevani said.

"But the conditions put forward by Mr. Zio make sense, miss, if you are having a family meeting, how can you stand apart from each other. You have to look like a real husband and wife." replied Alex.

"Haaaaahhh. Continue on..."

"Secondly, for one year you are not allowed to be close to other men except Mr. Zio." continued Alex.

Because Stevani did not respond, Alex continued. "Three, you must obey all the words of Mr. Zio. If not yes no, if yes you must."

"Oh my God, I have no more freedom. I'm going to be in jail for the next year." Stevani lamented making Alex laugh. "How many conditions did he apply for?" tanyakanya.

"Next you'll see for yourself, miss, I can't say it anymore" Alex replied.

Stevani frowned. "It seems like those terms are all hurting me. What if I break the contract?"

"Then you will pay a fine of 10 times the expenditure of Mr. Zio during Miss Zaline's treatment."

"Oh my God, isn't that blackmail?"

"Then hold on for a year. After you meet the Cruise family, chances are your wedding will take place next week. Everything is arranged by Mr. Zio. You do not have to worry, even though this marriage is only a one-year contract but everything is arranged as luxury as possible. Zionel Cruise will not marry simply, your marriage is really real and legitimate before God" said Alex.

"I have no choice, thank you for telling me everything" Stevani replied.

"If you're done, we'd better get out now. I don't want Mr. Zio to think like that because we're both in this room."

Stevani nods her head, leaves her big bag in the corner of the closet and walks out of the room following Alex. Stevani sat on the sofa while waiting for Zionel who had been in the bathroom for so long.

When the man finished his bath, Stevani immediately shouted because Zionel confidently only used a small towel that wrapped his waist down, while the chest is firm and the field is clearly visible.

"You can wake Stevani up" Zionel said, drying his hair with another towel.

"What are you doing?" ask Stevani.

"Ckckck, of course I'm going to the locker room" Zionel replied.

The man confidently passed Stevani into the dressing room. Before going inside, he stopped his steps and turned his body back.

"You'll get used to it later, so don't keep yelling like you're in the woods" Zionel said as he walked into the dressing room.

Alex couldn't help but laugh, while Stevani irritatedly walked into the bathroom to clean up.

"Based on a crazy perverted man." - Stevani.
