The woman looked at Black's face. His eyes were round in surprise. Alexa tilted her head, trying to remember the face of the man before her. He frowned with a confused face. Shortly afterwards, the woman held her head and shouted hysterically.
Some people approached them with a pushy look as if judging Black and Lia. Sam pulled Lia's hand away from the boisterous atmosphere.
"What's wrong? Why is that woman suddenly hysterical?" ask Samuel. Leon seemed to be listening to their conversation.
"Alexa Wijaya? Do you know that woman, Black?" lia asked, her face looking so tense.
"I think she's the woman who left me." Black answered briefly.
"You don't want to tell us?" ask Lia.
"She just disappeared after I refused her invitation to elope."
"I think something's not right here" Samuel said. His fingers clenched his forehead as if thinking of something.
"Aleandro's. I think there's a connection between Black, the contract, and Alexa" he continued.
"Areally who is Aleandro?" ask Lia. He was getting curious about what was going on. "And if she were Alexa Black knew, it would be impossible to shout hysterically like that."
"Lia, Aleandro is a drug mafia. I didn't know him by chance. And I guess-" Sam stopped his words when a man approached and took Alexa to get out of his place. A grinning smile was seen on his face when he met Sam.
"She's been feeding Alexa a lot with that stuff." Sam adjusts the volume.
"Daddy, we have to help him, right?" Suddenly Leon made a sound after a long silence and listened to the words of those around him.
"There's almost no way we can help him. But we're trying to figure out a way to do that." Samuel tried to comfort Leon. As a parent, it is impossible to teach him not to help people in need.

Sam was driving along the Kuta beach when the woman again seemed to be running away like she was avoiding something. Leon who was sitting in the back seat immediately stood up from his seat, brought his face closer to the car window and exclaimed at his father. "Dad, we have to help him. That woman."
Sam stops his car next to the woman, while Black swiftly pulls her into the car which immediately takes her away from the place. It all happened so fast. No one had seen that happen. But soon, a group of well-built men ran across the streets.
Black pulled the woman over to bend. Everything would be for naught if they saw him and re-captured him, even the Sam family would be at stake.
The car passed and moved away from the beach road, moving closer to the city of Denpasar towards the airport.
"Black, does he have an identity? He has to have an identifier to get off the island" Sam said.
Leon and Black looked at each other. "I don't think we can go home today."
"Okay, we'll spend the night again. I think I know how to get a new identity card for her quickly" Sam replied.
Black looked at Alexa, the woman's face unchanged. She remained beautiful, with a few strokes of sadness on her face. A face that looks confused and helpless.
"Everything will be back to normal, Alexa. Believe it." Black patted the back of the woman's hand. But like a reflex motion, suddenly the woman raised her hand away. His pair of eyeballs moved erratically and he began to hold his head while groaning in pain.
Alexa feels like Black's worry. He began to calm down and cried sobbing in his arms. "Help me, save me!" her voice was accompanied by her crying voice.

As always, without a booking at the beginning it will be difficult to get a favorite hotel in the city of the tourist destination. After several times out and into the hotel, Sam finally got two rooms for them. A family room and a single room.
Sam smiled with satisfaction. He found a place to spend the night for his family. A happiness for him. He immediately contacted his acquaintances who helped him process the new identity.
Black receives the room key and guides Alexa to her room. Walking down the long hallway of the hotel holding his hand, strengthened his heart and mind that he was not alone.
Black opened the door to his room. Alexa looked doubtful, looking like a trauma to being in the room. "Don't be afraid. I promise to protect you now. Alexa, I'm already strong, not a weak young man anymore. Believe me," she shrieked in the woman's ear.
The woman looks resigned, although in her eyes still looks a sense of fear. Black sat him on his bed. He looked at the pair of women's eyes in front of him. "Lexa, do you still remember me? I'm Nicho, Nicholas."
The pair of eyes twitched rapidly, his lips seemed to tremble, both hands raised holding his head. Clear liquid started to fill his eye pellets then slowly flowed into his cheeks.
"You remember me?"
Alexa was crying. The story is too long to tell. And he doesn't even know where to start. All this suffering begins with a contract.

It all started ten years ago.
"Pa, Lexa doesn't want to marry the old man she's friends with."
"Lexa, the candidate you choose will suffice you and our family. You will not lack. Trust me equally papa," persuaded Mr. Wijaya.
"No, Pa. Lexa won't!" The girl got out of the house and slammed the door.
Angrily he walked towards the city park, meeting his lover who was sitting pensively looking at the person passing by in front of him.
"Nicholas!" the girl in a gray white uniform was sitting next to him, he pinched the squash on his lover's cheek. "In a moment we'll graduate soon. But I think it'll be a farewell for us."
"Are you going to school somewhere far away?"
The girl shook her head. "Actually, I want to get out of the house with you. We eloped, yuk!" shriek the girl while covering her mouth with both hands forming a funnel while still revealing her cherry face.
"You kidding? I won't even be able to give you a decent life. I'm not from a family, as you know."
The girl looked at him with a sad face. "So we better not see each other again. Let's forget each other and live each other's lives."
The girl stood up from her seat. He must fight alone now if he does not want to marry the old man. He had to escape, by himself!
A man in his 30s smiled at him, "It looks like you need help and I think I can help you if you want to come with me."
