Married Bad Boy

"We are hereby sentenced to fifteen years in prison to defendant Matthew Fernandez for crimes of murder, extortion and misuse of state assets."

The hammer beat that sounded three times was like a death bell to the man sitting in the middle of the room, the only one who was the center of attention of all the people in the courtroom. Matthew Fernandez sat with a pale face, powerless and soulless. Like statues.

His whole life was ruined that day and he would rather die than rot in prison, but God did not grant his wish.

Rendra Fernandez sits in the front row with Marleen, her fiance. His lawyer sat by his other side. Although saddened by having to imprison his own father, he felt relieved and satisfied. At least he managed to lock up one monster from the world.

There were too many crimes that his father had committed. He hopes that staying behind bars will teach his father that there is more to life in this world than chasing wealth.

"I promise you I won't be tortured in prison" Rendra told his father before he was escorted by police to leave the courtroom.

Matthew Fernandez who initially looked coldly at his proud son, softened slightly when he saw Rendra's eyes filled with a child's affection for his father. He always hoped that Rendra could become like him in the future. However, he knew he had failed to educate her because Rendra was the opposite of him.

"Take care of yourself and your sister because for a while I can't take care of you" she whispered bitterly.

Rendra nodded then bowed as a form of respect.

There was never more relief for Azri than hearing the court's verdict on the sentence for Matthew Fernandez. It's like a gift for the day he left the hospital.

After four months of treatment and recovery in the hospital, doctors finally let him out of the infuriating place. After all, it seemed that Widya did not want to linger in the hospital, evident from her expression every time she entered her room. Of course, he never forgot that his wife hated hospitals.

Rendra called Widya a few days ago to tell her father's scheduled hearing. The man wanted him and his wife to attend. Widya was so happy that she screamed that she wanted to hug Rendra.

Today, that relief is getting real. Especially when they saw Matthew Fernandez who was wrapped in a prisoner's shirt brought by police officers after saying goodbye to his family. Admittedly, Rendra is a great person. How many children in this world would dare to imprison their own father? However, that is what must be done if you want to uphold justice.

"I don't mean to be disrespectful, but the GN President deserves it."

Rendra and Marleen looked back, at him. The man gave a friendly smile to him and his wife. He brought Widya closer to them.

Azri smiled as Rendra looked at him. "I think it's time to start a new life after everything's over. I'll try to forgive your father."

"Thank you for helping us with our difficulties. I know it's hard for you and Lia."

Widya this time said. He was delighted when Rendra contacted him last week that his father's sentencing hearing would take place. He never thought the process would be this fast and smooth.

"I hope Lia can come to apologize" added Rendra.

In that instant Widya and Azri realize Lia is not there. They didn't even see the girl in the courtroom.

"Where is he?" ask Azri wonder.

"He's fine, just can't come." replied Marleen first.

Marleen looked at Azri meaningfully. This man was still stunningly handsome despite just getting out of the hospital. However, somehow he could not look at the man in front of him in the same way as he used to. Azri will always belong to Widya, the wife she loves half-dead.

Azri and Widya nodded for the sake of politeness. It doesn't feel good to ask more about Lia. He had heard the story from Widya that the girl was the real culprit of the fire that melted the charred archive room of GN Group and other rooms around it.

Inevitably Azri must admit that the GN President managed to raise children to destroy the pride he built with great difficulty. After Lia burns down her company, Rendra acts to imprison her. Greatable.

However, it was fortunate that Rendra chose to deceive the public by saying that the cause of the fire was due to the short circuit of the electric current. Lia, no charges at all. It's just that they don't know where the girl is right now. Rendra had no intention of telling anything about it.

Naturally, Lia definitely needed some time to calm down.
