I'm Not a Cheap Woman

Stevani's Memory

Zionel approached Stevani while showing a calm face in front of the rest of the family. He sat down next to Stevani.

"You don't bother my girlfriend, do you?" zionel asked them.

They laughed at Zionel's question like that.

"They're all good." replied Stevani.

Zionel smiled and approached Stevani's ears. "I guess they're just pretending."

Stevani smiled awkwardly.

"Oh yes Cecil, I can't wait to see you in my women's design dress. Lucky you didn't have to pay for that design. Stevani is too good to you" Zionel said.

Cecil choked again when reminded of that.

"Bao... I've prepared a special dress when bang Zio gets married. I'll use this design next time, okay?" cecil Pinta.

"Why do you keep resisting anyway, Stevani's design is very beautiful and beautiful." said Roxy.

Cecil looked at Roxy sharply. "It's none of your business." he chirped.

"Why are you still talking about dresses? Cecil. Aunty Stevani's design really is very beautiful and deserves you." said Falera approached them with Nicolas.

"A Cruise always keeps his word, you have to keep your promise to use that design Cecil." said Nicolas.

Zionel held back his laughter, he went back to Stevani's ears. "You did it." he whispered, making Stevani smile again.

"I can't wait for you to wear her dress. Hopefully the designer can make the clothes as detailed as mine" Stevani said.

"You take it easy baby, designer mommy won't let you down. Right mom?" Zionel.

Falera smiled then nodded her head. "Just relax, Van, aunt will ask the designer to make it exactly the same as your picture without anyone missing a bit. Next time the aunt wants you to make me a design."

"Do you want me to make it now?" ask Stevani.

Falera shook her head. "Not now, we've been talking more than eating. Let's continue to eat this quietly." he asked.

They all agree to Falera's request, while Cecil continues to enlist her parents' help by coding her body, but her parents can't do anything about it. Because Cecil's actions this time had to be paid for in his own stupidity.

Zionel and Stevani continue to watch over Cecil, both of whom are close to letting go of their laughter as they successfully work on the arrogant woman.

Half an hour later...

The big meal was over, some members of the Cruise family who still had a farewell business came home. While Stevani stay away from them and immediately take his phone. He hasn't contacted Mark's doctor today, feeling unsettled because he hasn't heard from Zaline.

But when he just wanted to contact Mark's doctor, he gasped as his shoulder was patted by Falera Cruise.

"Ah aunt.." said Stevani.

"Do I surprise you?" ask Falera.

Stevani shook her head.

"Zio is my son, the successor of Cruise Construction. His responsibility towards Cruise's extended family is huge especially to keep this family's good name. Aunty has tried to find the best partner for her, but always failed. But aunt did not expect, just in a matter of days, she suddenly introduced you to us and will soon marry you. We are not a family that will impose our will, but can you seduce Zionel not to rush to marry you" Falera said.

Stevani was surprised to hear Falera's remarks.

"I don't want to marry this lie either, I want to marry a man who loves me not a man who marries me out of debt and a sense of responsibility like your aunt's son. But since when can I change the wishes of your arrogant son." thought Stevani.

"Sorry aunt... From the beginning I never forced Zio to marry me. But his wish is..."

"I want it, and I won't change it anymore" Zionel cut off as he approached them. "Mommy.didn't we have discussed it earlier, please don't bother Stevani with an impossible mommy request. If Stevani refuses, I'll drag him to the altar. That's what I'm gonna do." he threatened.

"Zio.." But Zionel's words were cut back by Zionel.

"It's time we go home, baby." Zionel. "We'll visit mommy again later."

Falera let out a long sigh as it was useless to argue with her son at this moment, she nodded her head. Zionel and Stevani say goodbye to Falera and the others. Zionel takes Stevani out of Cruise's mansion.

"Where's Alex?" ask Stevani.

"I didn't call him, I'll take you back to the apartment in my other car" Zionel replied.

"But..didn't you promise to call her if you want to go home?"

Zionel frowned. "Should there be any Alex among us?"

"Mom.ma.n't like that. It's just..."

"Am I so scary in your eyes? Can't you just say what we did when we were dealing with Cruise's extended family?"

Stevani lowered her head. "It looks like your parents are against our marriage."

"I will marry you even without them."

"But why are you so imposing Zio's will? I'm not gonna sue you for being irresponsible, and for my debt..."

"Stop arguing or I'll make you regret it." Zionel threatened as he left Stevani to take his car.

Stevani sighed, he could only stare at Zionel who continued to tread with fury.

"Oh my God, will I start my life in hell after I marry him? Although this marriage is just a contract, it's all very real. I've suffered enough all this time, should I add to my suffering when I get into the Cruise family." thought Stevani as she stared at the mansion.

Stevani is swept away in his daydream until he is unaware of the arrival of Zionel's car. The woman gasped as Zionel pressed the horn of his car.

"When do you want to stand like such a statue? Come in." said Zionel.

Stevani got into his car.

"Use the sit belt." Zionel ordered.

Stevani pulls the sit belt, but it seems to get stuck to make it have to do it for a long time. Zionel sighed, he approached Stevani and helped the woman pull her sit belt. Stevani's face was blushing as she was so close to Zionel's face.

Zionel looked at her as he paired the sit belt. Their eyes met each other, Zionel continued to look at Stevani's face until finally glued to the woman's red lips. The desire to kiss the woman grew stronger when Stevani suddenly wet her lips with her tongue unconsciously.

Zionel lowered his head and devoured Stevani's lips. Stevani's hands pushed Zionel's chest, but the man immediately held Stevani's hands together with one hand. He continued to tease Stevani's lips with his. And finally Stevani gave up, he closed his eyes and participated in the kiss.

Stevani's memory on the night of the incident gradually recovered. His body suddenly stiffened when he remembered how he had seduced Zionel on the bed. His eyes suddenly widened, as he pushed Zionel's body firmly.

Zionel swallowed his saliva, he cleared his throat to remove the awkwardness that had occurred a few seconds ago. For a long time, the two were shaking, Stevani kept turning her face out the window. Zionel let out a long sigh and started driving his car away from Cruise's mansion, while Stevani kept turning his face out the window.
