I'm Not a Cheap Woman

Zionel is Back to Nightmares

Zionel got up from his seat, poured water on the table and drank it to moisten his dry throat.

As Stevani stared at the man's white neck, his protruding jaw was clearly visible as the man swallowed his drinking water.

"Oh my God, what am I doing?" stevani thought, turning his face away.

Zionel sat back on the sofa and looked at Stevani again. The man started to tell me about Haena.

"I was so busy at the company that I couldn't pick her up at school. Only the driver came to pick him up. But the bad news came to our family, the driver waited for hours but Haena still did not leave the school, no one saw my sister. After I got the news, I stopped my work and immediately rushed to school. And the result remains the same, even her guidance teacher says Haena didn't get into the classroom at all" Zionel said.

"Oh my God.. Then...?"

"Of course the Cruise family took action immediately, exerting all power by using money." Zionel shook his head. "Nihil..all in vain until it has been 5 years since we lost Haena, even the best detectives did not find it." he added.

"No trace at all?" ask Stevani.

Zionel shook his head. "I've even sent detectives abroad and the results remain the same. I can't even think clearly how my sister disappeared without a trace, if she's lifeless no one can find her body."

"I'm sorry Zio. But I'm sure Haena'll be back with you guys again."

Zionel pulled the corner of his lips. "I hope that's Van, even if that hope is just a fingernail. I couldn't forget it until I got out of Cruise's mansion and lived alone in this apartment. But this late end mommy just kept setting up a blind date for me. So annoying...!"

"That's why you're looking for a woman to pretend to marry you?"

Zionel looked back at Stevani. "It's just a coincidence that I've been sleeping with you" Zionel thought.

Instead of saying it Zionel just talk another. "Our marriage is not a sham."

"What a difference, we're only tied to a year. I need your money for Zaline's treatment, and you need me to get out of an arranged marriage. Our marriage is just a business." Stevani replied.

"Go away." snapped Zionel. "Remember.tomorrow we'll go to the bridal boutique. Even if you consider this marriage to be just a toy, I still want you to look like a decent Zionel Cruise bride." she added as she moved from her seat to the room.

"I'm going to sleep on the couch, so just take the bed" Stevani said, stopping Zionel's steps.

The man turned his body and stared intently at Stevani. But he didn't want to argue anymore, the night was getting late. If he speaks for sure the woman in front of him is even more refuting. Zionel continued his steps.

A few minutes later...

The man came back out of the room with his pillow and blanket approaching Stevani. The woman could only look at Zionel questioningly.

"Go to bed in the room, let me be here" Zionel said.

"My body size fits better and I'm more cold-resistant than you. So I'm the only one here." replied Stevani.

"Damn it.." said Zionel in the heart. "Why is this woman so stubborn. Should I argue every day about the bed." Zionel thought annoyed.

Zionel threw his pillow and blanket onto the sofa violently. The man immediately left Stevani without saying anything more.

Stevani is stubbornly similar to Zionel. The woman lifted her legs up on the sofa and began to lay her body there. While looking up at the sky of the room, he kept thinking about the matter of his younger brother Zionel disappearing without a trace.

No sound could be heard from inside the room. Stevani began to shake his mind and over time the woman fell asleep soundly.

A few hours later...

Zionel's screams woke Stevani up. The woman blinked her eyes while sharpening her hearing. He looked for the origin of the sound that made him very surprised.

Once again a screaming voice came from inside the room, Stevani stared at the wall clock before approaching the origin of the sound.

"Oh my God, it's still 3 in the morning. What exactly happened to that man?" muttered Stevani while moving from there to the room.

Stevani was wide-eyed at the sight of Zionel still in a state of sleep, but the man continued to deliriously yell. The sweat had washed the man's face. Stevani immediately approached Zionel and shook his arm slowly.

"Zio... You're okay, right? Zuo..."

Zionel suddenly pulled Stevani's body into his arms without opening his eyes. "Don't leave brother Hae. Don't leave brother..."

Stevani tries to escape but Zionel hugs her tighter. The woman could only sigh and let Zionel hug her again.

"I'm sorry Hae. I'm sorry you can't take care of you. Don't go again, brother please." muttered Zionel.

"It's the first time I've heard an apology coming out of this guy's mouth" Stevani thought.

"Haea... Haena..."

The hug tightened up, leaving Stevani barely able to breathe. "A.. I'm not leaving my brother, a. I'm here bang." Stevani said with great difficulty as he continued to be hugged.

Slowly the hugs began to loosen making Stevani could breathe again. Zionel started to calm down at this moment. Chance Stevani let go of that hug. But he couldn't leave Zionel alone. The woman sat beside the bed while looking at Zionel's sweaty face.

"It seems you loved your sister so much that she was carried away into a dream. Do you have nightmares like this every night? Then what should I do now?" stevani muttered.

"Don't leave my brother.." again Zionel's delirium.

Stevani grabbed his hand and patted it gently. "I'm not going anywhere bang, I'm still here."

Zionel finally calmed down. Stevani's drowsiness began to hit, the woman repeatedly yawned and fell asleep while sitting there. He really could not let go of Zionel's hand. Without the woman realizing it, she fell asleep and dropped her head right on the man's chest.

Zionel hugged the woman's body without realizing it, the two fell back asleep together in one bed.
