Mr. Bastard's Love Trap

To Face

“Aiden, I'll receive a call shortly.” Whisper Zura. Aiden's forehead frowned.

“Who?”

“Uncle Andhika.”

Aiden finally nodded. And Zura took a few steps away before entering the private room at the Restaurant.

“What's up, uncle?” ask Zura.

“How are you and.. that bastard?”

“He's my husband. We are fine.”

“Hm.. how about the problem?”

Zura frowned at the uncle's question. It seems like his uncle has accepted Aiden. He did not even appear to be concerned about Aiden's illegitimate status. His uncle seemed concerned about Aiden's problems. Zura was now relieved. I think now he is really approved.

“The company issue is done. The trial is also over. Then, at noon we will do a press conference.”

“Good. Say hello to me.”

Zura smiled.

“Sure, uncle. Is there any more?”

“Azura.”

“Ya?”

“Soal problems that time.”

“Yes? Which problem?”

“Aiden who spent the night with a woman.”

“Ah.” Zura was a little surprised. However, from the tone of his uncle's speech, it seems he is not in the middle of a problem with it.

“Yes, Uncle investigated. Uncle has no intention of ruining your relationship. Uncle only.”

Uncle Andhika was silent. Zura smiled a little. He knew his uncle's intentions.

“Yes, uncle. I-i understand. Uncle is only worried about me.”

“Yes. Uncle will send you the file.”

“Thanks, uncle.”

“Hm. I hope you are happy. And also. make a grandson for me.”

“Haha.. hm.well. I'll try.”

“Haha. good.”

...**...

One problem is solved. Aiden's Problems with Antarest Entertainment. Although in the future there will still be some opposition, at least Aiden managed to secure his position as CEO. Now the Antarest family is gathering in a private room at Restourant. Zura gulped, he sat down restlessly.

For the first time he had gathered with Aiden's family like this. Ken, Heris, and Helios ate elsewhere. It was as if he was coming as a son-in-law.

“Mother, I haven't introduced my wife directly, have I?” said Aiden. Zura was getting nervous. He straightened his body and tried to give the best smile.

“Yes. I've met before.”

Monica intended to answer casually. Unfortunately, in Zura's ears, it sounded like an innuendo.

“Mother, your daughter-in-law is so beautiful. Why does mom not even look like it?” varlos asked, intending to tease Zura. He knew his mother was just acting like her. Sometimes, her mother is a little bit clumsy.

Zura could only continue to maintain his fake smile.

“Ck. Where don't you like it? I really like it.” Ketus Monica's. He looked at Zura. Zura looked back at her mother-in-law gently.

“Let me introduce myself again. I am Saffir Azura, i-mum.” Zura said later.

“Very sweet right bu?” aiden added.

“H.. You're very lucky. Take good care of him. Also, quickly give me a grandson.”

Aiden chuckles lightly, “We are trying really hard!!”

“Aiden!!” Zura widened her eyes with a red face. He's so embarrassed!

“Haha.. true sister-in-law, quickly give me a bang!!” varlos said teasingly.

“Your sister-in-law is so beautiful. When are you getting married, Varlos!!” monica again.

“Eh,” Varlos straightened his back, looking misbehaved.

“Yes. Get married! You are old!”

“Mother..”

“True. Sister is too old!”

“Ai-Den!!”

“Do I need help, sister-in-law?”

“Yes, daughter-in-law, find your sister-in-law a woman!”

Zura laughed lightly. So did the others. They thought after Aiden's press conference the problem would be solved, just the remnants of a small problem. But maybe it was Zura and Aiden's destiny to face various trials. They still have to go through the abyss of trials to achieve happiness.

...**...

Ken walked quickly with a poor look on his face. Once again he brought unpleasant news to Aiden. With a hasty step, Ken looked for his best friend. Helios is taking Varlos. And Heris escorted Mrs Monica. Ken believes they must have heard the news. Now, Aiden and Zura are left.

Brakk!!

Ken opened the waiting room door violently. The press conference is in sight. Aiden has announced his marriage to Saffir Azura to the board of Antarest Entertainment. If this news is left unchecked, the problem could become even more complicated. Aiden may not just be forcibly demoted from the CEO position. He could be in prison too. And Zura? I don't know. Perhaps, the woman would choose to give up accompanying Aiden.

“What's Ken? Why are you pale?” aiden asked, shocked to hear the sound of the door. Zura also looked at Ken.

“What's the problem?” ask Zura.

Ken swallowed his saliva and set a breath that was somehow tight. He was worried about Aiden's future.

“Kisya Atrida.” Ken said with a breath. Aiden and Zura both frowned.

“Ck. The girl who was in the hotel when you were on a business trip. She admitted to being raped and pregnant. Now the news is trending topic.”

Aiden and Zura's faces paled.

“Ha-pregnant?” reset Aiden. His mind suddenly crumpled. Getting pregnant? Then, how?

“Yes. Aiden, the problem is getting bigger. And also.” Ken gulped, staring at Zura, who was now pecking.

Aiden's gaze also shifted, staring at Zura. I think his mind is empty. Now, Zura would definitely leave him. Then, how? Career, honor, ah, since long ago he did not have honor. Or should he just die? But what about the child in the womb. The child who is there because of his mistake.

Aiden swallows saliva. His eyes looked at Zura with great pangs. He was sad, grieving, hurt, afraid, and. Then what?

“.. Den!!”

“Aiden!!”

The deg! Aiden's consciousness was forcibly restored. Her tears were already welling up staring at Zura. Pardon you? There were too many apologies he said. And he doesn't deserve to be forgiven. Aiden knows.

“Aiden!!” Zura shook Aiden's body tightly.

“Conscious!!” yells. Aiden can only swallow saliva. Aware?

“Ck.” Zura. Seeing Aiden pecking at him pissed him off. He's wounded. Very hurt when I heard this news. Zura was also very sad. Didn't they promise to get through it all together? Passing by with a full heart. Zura knew he might have to get away from Aiden. He had already gone through the days spent constantly contemplating divorce. Those days are over. Yeah, it feels scary indeed. But, have they not promised?

Knowing Aiden makes Zura know that he must prepare his heart to lose. But getting through today is the most important thing. How they split up is important.

Unfortunately, Aiden was still frozen. By strengthening his determination, with eyes that were heating up due to the mixture of flavors. Jealousy, anger, resentment, disappointment, hate, sadness, grief, everything. Zura came closer. He fused his lips with Aiden's. Infiltrate and exchange saliva. Aiden is still flinching. And Zura who was already flooded with tears.

“Zu-”

Zura slowly moved away. She wiped away the tears that never stopped.

“Tenace. We better meet the girl first. That's what matters now.”

Aiden was silent. Seeing Zura wiping away tears with a strong even make his heart more ravaged. Aiden doesn't want to be left behind. But Aiden could not bear to leave the baby. What if his son's fate is the same as his fate in the past? Aiden is not. Ah, then why did he become a bastard who always played women?

Aiden looked at Zura. As if, part of his heart was drifting away. The girl who is now in discussion with Ken. His wife, whom he had hurt many times. Why has the household become this ruined? If the hotel problem never happened, Aiden would have been happy with Zura. But, would it really be?

Aiden swallows the salivary back.

“Ya, please make an appointment. The press conference we will do later after this problem reaches a bright spot.”

Ken looked at Zura, then exhaled.

“But, I didn't expect you to be this calm.” His word.

Zura just smiled bitterly.

“Yes. Problems are there to face. I don't want to run. And also-”

“Ken, out!!” hiss Aiden cut. Ken and Zura looked at him with questionable faces. Especially when Aiden's face now looks cold and hostile.

“Hey, what-”

“No. Just make an appointment with the girl. I'll give you a word later.” Aiden. He then pulled Zura's hand, taking her out of the room.

“Wait, Aiden, where are you going?” ask Ken not to understand. He was also worried about Zura. At a time like this, what if Aiden returned to venting anger at the innocent Zura?

“It's none of your business, Ken. I just went away for a while.” Answer Aiden coldly.

Zura followed Aiden questioningly and nervously. He felt dragged by Aiden's long steps. And his wrist hurts a little bit from Aiden's grip. But how do you want? Fight off? It doesn't seem like a good idea against Aiden in his current condition.

“Aiden, don't be rash! Are you going to hurt Zura again? Hey!!” Ken's trying to stop Aiden. He even intercepted the man and pushed his collar.

“Ken!!” hiss Aiden was getting angry.

“What?” reply Ken is as exciting. They showed cold faces.

Blame Zura, and consider him a fool. At a time like this where he was the one who should have been hurt the most, Zura was still worried about Aiden.

“Ken, move!!”

“Then, what do you want?”

“Ken..” call Zura later.

“Its okay, we'll just talk.” Reciprocity.

Ken has to go. Honestly, he doesn't trust Aiden. However, he could trust Zura right?
