LOVE & VENGEANCE

Disagree!

Zalia felt her body was very heavy .

Slowly he opened his eyes and looked at his surroundings , he was already lying on the bed this time .

Last night's events still vividly remembered in his mind . How Zayn has ruined his life . Hurt his heart and body .

His heart wanted to cry again for his bad luck which turned out to be married to a man who did not love him in the slightest but somehow his tears seemed to have dried up .

Zalia was about to sit up but her head felt so dizzy that she went back to lying down and closed her eyes . At that moment there was the sound of an open door . Zayn entered with a tray of porridge and milk for Zalia . Zalia deliberately did not want to open her eyes . Let's just say he's still sleeping .

Zayn sat next to Zalia's body and kissed his wife's forehead .

" dear wake up "

Zayn's soft voice was completely different 180° with his voice overnight even his hands gently stroked Zalia's black hair .

A kiss returned to Zalia but this time on her lips .

" honey, you have to wake up for breakfast because you also have to take medicine "

Zayn's words made Zalia open her eyes slowly . But her pale face was diverted in another direction so she did not have to look into Zayn's eyes .

Seeing that, Zayn clasped his wife's hand and apologized .

" dear I'm sorry about last night . Maybe I did something that hurt you .

But believe me, all of it happened because I was under the influence of alcohol . Even now I really don't remember everything that happened last night "

It felt like Zalia wanted to laugh at Zayn's words . The man did not remember what he had done ? that's bullshit !

Their gazes collide when Zalia chooses to stare at Zayn's face . In the eyes of the man emanated a deep sense of regret .

" divorce me "

Zalia's short speech really surprised Zayn, her body immediately felt limp . He got off the bed and immediately sat on the floor hugging his knees . When his face rested on his knees, did not feel his tears spilled .

" no . No . No "

Zayn spoke in his tears .

At first Zalia thought her husband was acting but moments later she was convinced that the man was really crying .

" i'm sorry if my actions hurt you but please don't ask for it . Don't leave me .

Don't ever leave me again "

The sound of Zayn's cry sounded heartbreaking . But hearing the word 'again' , Zalia so think did Zayn ever leave someone behind ?

Naturally, because Zayn has not told anything about his mother and sister who died twenty years ago .

" don't leave me alone again "

Zayn kept saying that until several times . His body started to shake and break out in cold sweat .

Zaliapun immediately sat down and held Zayn's shoulder . How shocked he was when he felt Zayn's body temperature was so cold that even his clothes were wet with sweat .

" sister Zayn, brother why ? "

Zalia asked doubtfully with a hint of pity in her heart .

Zayn didn't answer anything but his body just kept shaking .

Zalia immediately contacted Angky's doctor to immediately come to their home .

Same with his father-in-law .

Not long after, Angky's doctor arrived and immediately checked Zayn's condition . Doctor Angky is a little worried to see the state of Zayn which makes him return considering the state of the man twenty years ago . After being given an injection Zaynpun directly fall asleep . Actually the condition is quite severe and needs treatment in the hospital but given the trauma, Angky's doctor decided to treat Zayn at home alone .

After Edward and the nurse that Angky's doctor had requested from the hospital had arrived, the doctor returned to the hospital .

Zalia sat pensively at the dining table .

Seeing this, Edward went to his son-in-law .

" The zalia "

" uh, yes dad "

" can you talk to me ? "

" yes dad "

" what before this happened to you ? "

" yes, father , yesterday we went out to dinner at a restaurant and met up with a new business friend of Zayn's and it turned out that that person was my childhood best friend even as I thought of him as my own brother . He's Alend's son, his name is Gerald . We have been living in Australia for a long time and only yesterday we met after eight years . Out of shock and delight, I unwittingly hugged Gerald's sister and it made Zayn angry that we even had a fight after returning home . Brother Zayn left the house and came back in the middle of the night drunk "

After that Zalia fell silent and even cried because she was not strong enough to tell what happened next .

" why are you crying, son ? "

" after that Zayn did something that hurt me and I asked for a divorce from him then Zayn's sister became like this ', I'm sorry father of all this because of my mistake "

Zalia's cry broke again after saying that .

Edward just stared blankly at the table . I don't know what he's thinking . the good looks of the twilight-aged man are still visible on his face . But that face radiated a deep sense of sadness . His son went back to experiencing something similar like twenty years ago that really made him feel like a failure as a father . Not feeling her tears flowing down her cheeks .

Seeing this Zalia asked ,

" dad, is there something you want to tell me ? I'm ready to be a good listener "Zalia said with a smile even though she herself was confused by what she was feeling right now .

Edward smiled and began to tell her about something that had made her almost give up .

" twenty years ago, I almost gave up and even wanted to end my life because of the loss of a wife and child at the same time due to an accident . Father's feelings were completely shattered from feeling a failure to protect them " .

Edward paused for a moment . Breathe deeply and exhale .

Her hands wipe away tears .

" Zayn was only twelve years old at the time and he was even more devastated by the incident because he was with his mother when it happened .

She had a trauma that has not even healed to this day . Today seems to remind father of the state of Zayn twenty years ago . She can't interact too long with women except with Aretha and her mom . Until I have to replace all the female employees who are at home . She was so frightened when she saw the woman especially who was pregnant because the person who harmed her mother turned out to be a pregnant woman . This lasted until he was twenty-eight years old . The treatment and therapy of the doctor Angky bore fruit but he still hated women and did not want to be in a relationship with any woman . Until he meets you . He did all the things he hadn't done all this time "

Zalia continued to listen and listen to her father-in-law's words . Who knew he could find the answer to the question that was loitering in his brain right now .

" dating, fiancee and even getting married in less than a month is a remarkable achievement for the son of the father who suffered trauma for a long time . Did you even say he was drunk ? "

Edward smiled but his tears also dripped .

" it was the first time in his life "

Zalia was surprised and astonished to hear that .

" you are the first woman in Zayn's life "

Looking at Zalia's face that seemed to hold many questions, Edward smiled as he stood up and patted Zalia's shoulder .

" maybe he was jealous and did not like his wife hugging another man in front of him "

After saying so, Edward left Zalia in the kitchen and went to the room to see Zayn .

There the man is seen contacting someone .

Meanwhile , Demian who just got a call immediately completed his office duties and called Gerald to let him know that today they have not been able to sign a cooperation contract because Zayn is having a sudden business . The cause of Zayn's illness cannot be known by anyone .

When Demian was looking for the file for the meeting that afternoon at Zayn's desk he accidentally nudged one of the maps so that it fell . Demian was astonished to see some photos of Zalia and her sister even photos of Megan as a young child strewn across the floor and the photos were taken while her young master's in-laws were pregnant . He immediately collected it and put it back in the folder but he saw there were a few more sheets of paper in it . Demianpun directly read the paper containing data about family members of his young master's wife . How shocked Demian when he learned the background of Thomas who is a mobster who is so feared in some western countries as well as in Asian countries even he cooperated with the Yakuza chairman of the country sakura , ' he said , Japan .

Then Megan's self-data and about her delivery starting from the place and time . From that data she learned that it turned out that her young mistress was born on the same day as Aretha, the young miss of the Felix family . Even the hospital is the same .

Many questions arise in the heart of that forty-five-year-old single man . He felt that something was being hidden by his young master .

He did not want to be rash in concluding all the things he had just known . Demian immediately contacted Edward to come to the office so that he could convey this freely without being noticed by others .

A few moments later .

" what the fuck is all this Demian ? "

Edward asked in a slightly raised tone while throwing a map containing Thomas's family data on the table .

" you investigated my Besan family secretly and without orders from me ? "

This time Edward was already really angry at Demian even he stood up from his sitting position and went to the waist .

" sorry sir, please listen to the explanation sa ... "

It's not finished Demian spoke directly just cut by Edward .

" you think this is all polite ? secretly investigating the person who is now our family ? "

" sorry sir . But all this is not my job "

Demian's words just now were able to assuage Edward's anger in an instant .

" keep on , all this from where ? "

" it seems like the young master told others without our knowledge to investigate all of this " .

" find Zayn's men right now and bring him to me "

" good sir "

Demian immediately left the room and immediately found out who Zayn had paid to investigate his wife's family background.

Meanwhile, in Zayn's workroom, Edward was seen standing by a glass wall looking at the crowded traffic on the highway that looks small from the fifteenth floor where he is now located .

" what exactly are you hiding, son ? " Say Edward softly while closing his eyes .
