Mother-in-law Obsession

Little Coercion

"Do you want to just throw away this golden opportunity? I'm just offering you to keep Devian's seed in your womb" Zeline said without a burden and was rubbed off.

Alea's two eyes spontaneously perfectly rounded. How could this old lady say that so easily? Horrifying, even Alea had never heard such words before.

"Omong empty. I don't understand what you mean, Madam," growled Alea.

Alea was completely inexhaustible with the thoughts of this old woman, hence she intended to leave. However, it stopped because the woman spoke up again.

"This is your chance. It could be that my son will fall in love with you if you get lucky and do well. You are beautiful and sexy. You look pretty compatible with my son, you're perfect. Devian will be very happy to have someone who can give him a child" Zeline said, still influencing Alea to agree to her offer.

Alea's heart was pounding. His mind and conscience are fighting an argument in there.

No, this is wrong! It's wrong! You can't do it!

That's what his wits say. It is inversely proportional to his conscience that justifies Zeline's words and forces his deepest desire to have a complete Devian.

"I'm sorry, I'm not interested" Alea declined preferring what her wits were to say. At least for now, the choice is right.

Zeline laughed again, laughing more precisely. He was quite challenged to see the hardness of Alea who was now staring at him so flat. There was no longer the look of fear and unease that Zeline saw from those eyes like before.

"I'll wait, Alea. Don't be too hasty to make up your mind," argued Zeline as she approached Alea, who was still silent on the spot, then whispered something in her ear that made her mute instantly.

"The great woman who gave birth to you needs money to survive longer. Are you going to let her stay in pain without treatment for longer?" zeline said accompanied by a triumphant sneer.

Zeline was sure Alea would definitely melt down.

Alea held her breath, the tightness in her chest made it a little difficult for her to breathe oxygen freely. His brain cannot think clearly. Everything was too sudden for him.

"Oh yeah, you don't have to hang with Devian. You just have to give him a kid then your job is done. Whether you want to continue or not that's your business, I will support whatever your decision is after. Money matters you don't have to worry about, I'll still give it to you even if you and Devian are no longer together" the Mendoza family's grandmistress concluded.

After saying the thing that made Alea no longer feel calm Zeline just left without a burden. Leaving her business card on the table in front of Alea.

Alea's body trembled violently, he looked at the business card with mixed emotions.

'I'm sorry, Mother.'

"Uncle!"

Devian had just gotten out of the car when the typical chirping sound of a child called out his name. He turned to the origin of the voice and found a little boy who he had met quite often lately was running merrily towards him.

A woman came and bowed her body saluting Devian who was now holding Ruby.

"I'm sorry, sir. Looks like this little boy is looking for Alea," said the woman disinclined.

Devian's eyes were gently rubbing. I feel familiar with that name.

"Alea?" devian parrot.

"Yes Alea," said the woman stiffly.

"Is Brother Alea not here yet?" ruby asked to break Devian's daydreams and the awkwardness she felt alone.

"Sister!" yell someone out from behind them.

"Ruby, you have to go with Mom" Alea scolded her waist and looked at the girl who was now hugging Devian's neck tightly.

Ruby seemed reluctant to let go of Devian.

"No, don't want to! I want to play with Uncle Handsome!" whine Ruby while drowning her face in the niche of Devian's neck.

Very comfortable, he thought.

Devian chuckled at the whimpering of this five-year-old boy. He patted Ruby's small back slowly, then turned to look at Alea and smiled in the shade.

"It's okay, Alea. I don't care if I have to play with Ruby" Devian said.

Alea fell silent. His heart was racing like a rollercoaster. His two black obsidians looked at Devian fixedly. The shadows in which he and Devian were together began to be arranged in his mind. The desire to accept the offer was getting bigger.

However, considering the face of a woman who was no less beautiful than him who he met a few days back made him obsolete. If he accepted the offer, then the beautiful woman would definitely get hurt. But, on the one hand the offer was also one of his biggest dreams.

I don't know, no one knows for sure what will happen in the future if he starts. It's just that one of them will receive the impact later. Whether it was her, Devian, or that beautiful woman.

Alea didn't want to hurt anyone, he just wished everything was circulating according to his orbit. Just being next to Devian was enough for him, even as a co-worker.

"Sir Gizka, my God! Can you not run around anymore?" azura asked furious with the behavior of her cousin-in-law who now looks like a child.

Azura gasped for air, tired of moving her legs following where the older woman was running around with no clear purpose. There is something interesting in his eyes then his cousin-in-law will run there soon.

And so on until Azura felt her legs could no longer stand up straight. Plus in his hands there were already several large and small dolls. Makes it even more overwhelmed to compensate for the older ones.

"Azura, come here! You should try it too, it's fun!" invite Gizka with a loud voice so as to attract the attention of some people.

Azura exhaled a long breath, she was sure this would be longer and heavier than the previous one. Feeling no choice, Azura again stepped up following the older who was now busy playing shooting targets with a water gun.

Actually, Gizka's initial intention to invite Azura to the playground was to entertain Azura. Leon, Gizka's husband proposes to take Azura out and have some fun at the amusement park.

Leon thinks Azura does need entertainment to forget his life problems are increasingly burdensome for a moment. However, it did not seem like Azura was amused. Except Gizka.

Worse yet Leon is busy working like her husband, Devian. So that he could not rebuke Gizka to stop or forbid him to do things as he pleased. At least rest them for a while, it seems like Azura needs to recharge her energy.

"Rigger ... Quit ... I'm tired," Azura's pinta gasped.

Azura sat herself in one of the chairs right next to Gizka playing. Huft, he's really tired.

"Yeah! Azura, there's a fortune teller's place. Let's go there!" gizka screams of pleasure while pulling Azura's hand and forcing her into the place she calls the fortune teller.

Azura could only surrender when her hand was pulled, ah more precisely dragged. Azura sighed many times as Gizka paid the incoming money with the money Leon had given her earlier. Secretly Azura also felt happy to see her cousin-in-law happy.

Finished with the business of paying, the two entered and sat side by side in front of a fortune teller with clothes and objects for divination. I don't know, Azura doesn't know what and what those things are for.

"Well, Azura. You try first."
