ILLUSIANA (CONTRACT MARRIAGE)

CHAPTER 40

Reynard gasped on the couch, in Ferdian's study. Sipping black coffee that is no longer warm, then placed slowly on the table.

“So, what info do you get about the assets of the late father of Lusi?” asked Ferdian while leaning his back that felt heavy.

“The late Hamzah, his father Lusi was the owner of an expedition company that had a sizable name as well. About ten years ago, the company was growing quite rapidly. But after his wife died about six years ago and the late marriage to his new wife, Merry's mother, the company gradually deteriorated," Reynard said.

“Lusi's late father had played stock investment with his partner, but was unlucky. His debt in the bank is very much. The house and its assets in the form of other properties and land mortgaged all. But according to my sources, there are some assets that the deceased had redeemed before dying worth nearly fifteen billion, and the house occupied by his stepmother now it has been redeemed also recently worth about four billion.“

“Then about the ownership status of assets that have been redeemed, how?” ask Ferdian seriously.

“Oh yes. All are still in the name of the late Mr. Hamzah. After I checked, no one had switched ownership. But the problem is, all certificates of assets that have been redeemed from the bank are now controlled by Merry's mother. That's a big obstacle to be returned to the hands of Lusi.”

Ferdian thought for a moment. His brain turned to find a way to restore all the inheritance of the late Mr. Hamzah who became the right of Lusi. Because it is also listed in the agreement they signed before the wedding.

“You should find someone to approach Bu Merry, Rey,“ suggested Ferdian later.

“You mean?”

“Find men who can approach and seduce Bu Merry. Make the woman fall in love and trust fully to submit all the certificates. You understand what I mean, right?”

Clearly Reynard understood, then nodded with a meaningful smile.

“Agree, Bro. Later I will find the right man for the task,“ replied Reynard steady.

“Oiya, about Cantika. What was her reaction after knowing you were married to Lusi?” reynard asked again because it suddenly occurred to him about Cantika's insinuation to Ferdian earlier.

“Hmm, less welcome as it seems," Ferdian replied after a long sigh.

“I've guessed. Especially your sudden marriage. He must have thought of all sorts.“

“Do I have to tell Cantika about our deal, Rey? I saw his attitude towards Lusi less friendly.”

“Better not now, Bro. We wait for the right time. Don't let our plans fail,” Reynard suggested with a serious look. Ferdian also understood.

In the pool.

Amanda and Cantika were sitting opposite each other in the poolside long chair. Amanda momentarily turned her head inside the house with a questionable look.

“Tika, your brother and Reynard have been in his study for a long time. Why yah?” ask Amanda for a little bit of curiosity. Cantika who was enjoying a glass of orange juice shrugged her shoulders at a glance.

“Maybe more talking about work,” replied Cantika briefly.

Amanda snorted annoyed. Since then he was deliberately in the pool was waiting for the opportunity to talk to Ferdian but Reynard was served.

Amanda dislikes Reynard because she knows Reynard always influences Ferdian to stay away from her.

“Sister, Sister Amanda still love Brother Ferdian?” ask Cantika suddenly.

Amanda smiled at the question. It feels like a fresh breeze from heaven.

“Still and always in love,“ Amanda replied expectantly.

“But Ferdian's brother is married. How?” ask Cantika again.

“Yaaa, let it go. I keep waiting for Ferdian to come back to me.”

Cantika raised next to her eyebrows. Astonished with Amanda who was so love for her brother even though he was left married to another woman.

“Yourself, what do you think about your sister's wedding with that smelly child?” Amanda asked back in a cynical tone of voice.

“Come, Brother. I am still confused and do not understand with Brother Ferdian who suddenly married Susi. I never knew and never heard of Susi among the women close to my sister before. Moreover, their age is far adrift, almost nine years. It doesn't seem to believe that brother Ferdian has the same taste as big new children so,” said Cantika with overflowing annoyance.

Amanda smiled broadly. He understood, from Cantika's words it was clear that the girl did not like Susi as Ferdian's wife.

Cantika's attitude made her even more hopeful that the girl could help her reopen the relationship with Ferdian.

“As I once told you, Tika. Maybe there is something that makes Ferdian forced to marry Lusi.”

“I thought so too, Brother. I thought because Lucia was pregnant. But I noticed Lusi's usual attitude and body shape, unlike the average woman who is pregnant.”

“Cantika, I'm sure they got married not out of love. I know how much Ferdian tastes about women.”

“True, Sister. And strangely again I heard from the housekeeper here that all this time they slept separate rooms since the beginning, Kak,” Cantika said full of question marks.

Amanda gasped, her mouth gaping and her eyes wide open to hear it.

“Serious, Mouse?” tanyanya could not believe it

“Truly, Brother. Susi slept in my room during her stay here.”

“Hmmm .. so yes?” Amanda nodded. Her lips flicked a thin smile.

His heart grew hearing that information. Means all this time his suspicions were right, there was something behind the marriage of his former fiancee.

Means all this time the affection they showed outside was fake, just a charade. Excellent acting, Ferdian. I was fooled and almost desperate. Amanda thought to herself.

The two immediately stopped the conversation when they saw Ferdian and Reynard approaching their place.

“Hai, Amanda.“ greet Reynard waving a glance at Amanda. But his tone is flat.

Amanda just waved back with a small smile.

“Cantika, I go first yes,“ said Reynard to Cantika.

“Cock rush, Brother Rey. Lunch here. I still want to chat with Rey.” Cantika sulked and hooked her finger on Reynard's index finger spoiled.

“Next time yes, Sweet sister. Okay?” Reynard ruffled Cantika's hair. Then step out of Ferdian until the front porch of the house.

“Bro, it's like Amanda started to pedekate to you again. Be careful to get smitten again,” whispered Reynard before stepping towards his car.

“Quiet aja. Won't do. I already have Lusi," replied Ferdian with a smile.

“OK lah, if so. Good luck making Lusi fall in love with you. Excitement yes,” reply Reynard tease Ferdian, then get in his car.

Ferdian went back inside to the dining table. He took some sandwiches and a glass of chocolate milk for Lusi who was still in the room. Actually that's the reason alone in order to familiarize yourself with Lusi.

“Kak, here dong for a moment,” call Cantika half yelling.

Ferdian turned his head and stepped lazily towards Cantika.

“What's up?” asked Ferdian in front of his brother.

Amanda stared at Ferdian intensely and enjoyed a handsome face with bluish shaving marks around her jaw and chin. Ferdian knew Amanda was looking at him closely but he was reluctant to turn his head.

“Please accompany Brother Amanda for a moment, I want to go to the restroom first.” Cantika left without waiting for Ferdian to answer.

“Tika..” Call Ferdian, but not digubris. Cantika half ran into the house.

Amanda shifted her seat to get closer to Ferdian who was still upright in his place.

“Your wife is not awake?” ask Amanda gently.

“Maybe. That must still be in the room," replied Ferdian lazily.

“Udah this hour how are you still sleeping? So spoiled,” sniff Amanda's tone of voice.

And it's very uncomfortable in Ferdian's hearing.

“Maybe he was exhausted because last night served me several times.” Ferdian lies, but manages to make Amanda's heart burn hot flames of jealousy.

“Ferdian..” Amanda grabbed Ferdian's hand.

“You deliberately made me jealous huh?“ ask Amanda gently teasing.

Ferdian did not answer just shakes. Then he pulled his hand back from Amanda's.

“Ferdian, I..”.

“Sorry, I'm in first.” Ferdian lazily responded. Then leave just like leaving Amanda who is upset because of Ferdian's very indifferent attitude to her.

Ferdian opened his bedroom door slowly, along with a sandwich and a glass of chocolate milk on the tray.

He's looking for Lusi in his bed, but nothing. Maybe in the bathroom, he thought. Put the tray on the table while circulating the view around the room.

It turned out that Lusi was standing on the balcony overlooking the swimming pool. Ferdian approached him.

Don't let her see me there with Amanda. Bathin Ferdian.

“Available?” Ferdian stood behind Lucia. Then align yourself beside him.

“Already from earlier, Mas,” replied Lusi flat.

“Kok did not come down, I was waiting for you to have breakfast below?”

“Gak, prefer here. Can watch friendly people,” Her tone contains innuendo. Then turned his body to look at Ferdian.

Ferdian's face immediately flushed red. She knew what Lusi meant was that she was with Amanda at the pool.

Lusi smiled at Ferdian who looked clumsy in front of him.

“I was just chatting for a while with him.” Without asking Ferdian to explain.

Lusi just winked, touched Ferdian's arm for a moment then stepped into the room.

Grab a glass of warm chocolate milk his favorite, gently dipped until the toilet is not restless.

Ferdian followed Lusi in. He sat on the sofa watching Lusi who was enjoying his breakfast.

Well-favoured. Praise Ferdian in heart.

Staring at Susi who only wore thigh-length sleeping pants and sleeveless black shirt, plus the hair that is rolled up that shows the smooth white neck of Lusi makes his passion for his manners instantly rise.

Susi knew Ferdian was looking at her so deeply. She felt Ferdian would do something to her.

Justright.

Ferdian approached Lusi who was standing beside the table. At the touch of Lusi's waist from behind. Gently pecked at Lusi's smooth white shoulder.

Susi was silent, her eyes closed enjoying the repeated Ferdian kiss on her shoulders and neck.

Ferdian turned Lusi's body and tightened it into his body. Their views meet.

His passion was mounting to see the cleavage of Lusi that poked behind his low-collared t-shirt. Her lips approached and kissed Luci's tiny lips for a moment.

But suddenly Lusi averted his face, avoiding Ferdian's lips that had been stuck to his lips and then released the hand of Ferdian from his waist.

“Why?” asked Ferdian feeling disturbed.

Lusi just shook his head. “I'm not ready, Mas.” replied Lusi.

“What? Not ready? Married all this time we have not done anything?” ferdian grumbled with great annoyance. When his lust was already at the top of Lusi even refused it.

“We're just a pretend marriage, Mas. Remember our agreement," said Lusi so lightly.

“That's again - that's again what you call. Yes we have really married so,” challenge Ferdian with a high voice.

Instead of replying, Lusi ran away and went into the bathroom leaving Ferdian staring in annoyance at him while stroking his chest. Patience.

 “What is the need to use your nih ngadepin hardness?” ferdian muttered as if Lusi was still before him.

Take a glass of water on the table. Then drink it until it does not rest to lower its wild appetite that was almost exploded.
