My Wild Rose's

ISTI (WIFE'S CRAZY HUSBAND BOND)

When James entered Ornado's room, he saw the man receiving a call from Amadea while standing in front of his study window, turning his back to the entrance of his room, so he did not care much about James' arrival.

"It's okay, if you do decide to leave tomorrow, later tonight stop by the house, we have a barbeque party before you go," Amadea smiled happily at Ornado's offer.

"After the barbeque party, may I stay at your house tonight, it feels like never once have you invited me to stay there, you are so stingy Ad," Ornado smiled amusedly, there was no harm in letting Amadea stay over, so that she and Cladia can get to know each other. Although last night Ornado had explained who Amadea was to Cladia, there was no harm in them getting to know each other better as brothers, because the two women were important to Ornado, who was a big brother, the one wife he loved so much and the other sister he loved so much.

"I'm afraid you're uncomfortable because my house isn't as good as the star hotels you used to live in" Mata Amadea boughtak heard Ornado's words.

"Basic! Don't look for reasons Ad! Even the best hotels in the country are not necessarily as good as your home. Just tell me you don't want your honeymoon to be interrupted by me" Ornado laughed at the protest from Amadea.

"OK, okay, pack up all your stuff and move it to my house, I'll call the house guy to arrange a room for you. In the future if you like when you visit Indonesia, just stay at my house. But, you have to promise, lest you disturb Mrs Xanderson," Amadea giggled at the threat from Ornado, indeed how long ago Ornado had time to reprimand him because of the way he looked and observed Cladia which made Cladia look uncomfortable, on the one hand Amadea did that because she really could not hide the curiosity about who and what greatness Cladia was to make her beloved cousin get to her knees, even so protect her.

"I've heard the term ISTI in Indonesia, it looks like you belong to one of their members," Ornado frowned, trying to recall the term ISTI.

"What is ISTI?" Amadea's laughter instantly burst upon hearing the innocent question from Ornado.

"The Death of Husband Fearful Wife. You are longer in Indonesia, you should understand more than me" Amadea said in a voice that was clear that she was holding back her laughter.

"O, huh? I'm not in the Association of Husbands Afraid of Wives, but the Bond of Husbands Crazy Wife," James who heard their talk joined in laughing amusedly.

"Ah, come on, there's a lot of things I have to finish, we continue our conversation later that night at my house, until Amadea," Ornado hung up the phone, after which he walked to the chair at his desk, at first glance, James was standing in front of his desk.

"You here James?" James nodded with a smile to answer Ornado's question.

"Wait a minute, there's something I need to finish quickly," James nodded his head again.

"Fred, set it up soon with the house people, today Miss Amadea will be staying at my house," Just a line Ornado said to Fred through his phone and he immediately decided on the call after Fred answered yes.

"Fred says you're looking for me" James said, confirming Ornado's nameplate on his desk as Ornado took a seat in his chair.

"I want you to do something for me" James scrunched his forehead, trying to second-guess what Ornado wanted from him.

"About Edo's twin brother," James took a deep breath hearing Ornado's words. Ever since Ornado's order was issued to search for info about Edo-like people at Reno and Liana's engagement party, Om Setiawan's son, James has been trying to find information about the stranger in detail. And what an unpleasant surprise, it turns out that the man named Edi is identical twin brother Edo, who is a friend of Liana, Reno's fiancee.

James doesn't really know much about the events of 5 years ago that befell Cladia, but it isn't long after Ornado gives her orders for that investigation, inevitably a little bit of James finally understood about the incident. Even if Ornado doesn't explain it, James who is smart enough feels something is not right with Cladia's condition now, James who is smart enough to feel something is wrong with Cladia's condition, which makes Orando so guard and protect Cladia so that his condition does not get worse.

James knows Cladia is a beautiful woman who is smart and great, but on the other hand James can feel that there is something that makes Cladia sometimes look very fragile. James did not want to take a presumptuous attitude to ask, as long as Ornado did not want to tell him. For James, as a cousin and Ornado's right-hand man all he could do was observe and try to protect them both.

"What do you want me to do for you?" Ornado's face really turned serious hearing James' words.

"I feel that after studying your information about Edi, he deliberately approached Reno because he knew about Om Setiawan's relationship with the Asian Earth, and he knew about the relationship between the Asian Earth and Sanjaya, and he knew about the relationship between the Asian Earth, knowing my relationship with Cladia," James nodded quickly, as Ornado's thinking seemed to be correct.

"During this time Edi was a reclusive figure like Edo, even Om Setiawan had actually never met him, but all of a sudden he appeared around Cladia, just like him, there must be someone helping him to get all the info about us," James folded his hands in front of his stomach with a slightly wrinkled forehead.

"I contributed to their bankruptcy even though I wasn't 100% involved" James glared at Ornado's confession.

"When papa was in critical condition, I couldn't leave Italy to protect Cladia, the only way I have to destroy the Edo family's efforts is for him to not be able to bribe or do any other cunning thing in order to be free from his punishment. It can also be done because indeed I can find evidence of the dirty work of their company that is trying to avoid taxes, falsify the legality of their company and treat their employees inhumanely. I'm just trying to gather evidence and witnesses to hold them accountable for their unlawful actions" James took a deep breath, it turns out that even though there is no one on Cladia's side, Ornado's interference in protecting Cladia cannot be considered playful.

"If you hear your explanation, it feels like there is a possibility that Edi wants to take revenge on you" Ornado smiled cynically.

"He won't have the ability to touch me, but what I'm worried about is Cladia. Status and economic power may not be able to destroy Cladia, but her presence could affect Cladia mentally. You can imagine the terrible events that Cladia experienced at that time. It will not be easy to forget the disgusting and terrible events of the day. I don't want to because of Edi's presence, Cladia has to keep thinking about what happened that day." Jeremy nodded his head, able to understand Ornado's intentions.

"I will try to prevent him from getting close to Cladia in the slightest," Ornado bit his lip slightly, if only in front of him Edi dared to touch Cladia even if it was just the tip of his fingernail, he swore he would not hesitate to destroy until he could not rise again and take revenge, just as he destroyed Edo.

"I wouldn't be willing either if the mother of my future nephew went through something bad" Ornado's sharp gaze turned a little soft on James's joke. James smiled, because for so long he lived with Ornado, he knew very well the nature and weakness of Ornado. James really knew that just mentioning Cladia could change Ornado's mood as fast as lightning.

I was really looking forward to the moment that arrived, the great children that Cladia would give me, Ornado whispered inwardly with her smiling lips imagining Cladia with her big belly from conceiving their child. James laughed softly at Ornado who was a little dreamy due to his words about the future nephew.

"Is there anything else you want to talk to me about?" Ornado was a little jolted at James's question, aware of his daydream that had gone nowhere.

"Oooo, yes, I'd like to invite you to a barbeque party tonight at home" James laughed.

"Wahhh, it seems like last night was really great until you made another party tonight" Ornado laughed softly at James's banter.

"You heard that, right? Tomorrow Amadea will go to Bali, after which he will immediately return to Italy, as a brother who gets a visit should be able to serve the guests as well as possible," Ornado tried to kink from James' banter, James said, as his hand moved open the drawer of the worktable before him, taking out a neatly sealed brown envelope.

"For you," Ornado slightly threw it towards James quietly.

"What's this?" James furrowed his brows before his hand grabbed the envelope before him.

"Even though yesterday there was a bit of an incident, I have to admit yesterday's surprise party was really great" Ornado paused his words.

"That's my Bugatti key that was accidentally carried away when I returned to Indonesia, for his letters I will immediately arrange to be sent to you as soon as possible." James's eyes bought with his lips slightly open, unable to hide his shock and happiness. Ornado also smiled, he knew that the first time his Bugattas arrived in front of his mansion, it was James who first saw and observed him, stroking his Bugattas body with sparkling eyes.

"Next time I will really try to remember not to bet with you again," James laughed at Ornado who said with a smile fixed on his lips.

"Great, this is really great. Thank you very much Ad," Ornado smiled knotfully, of course he had to keep his promise to James because of the party last night. At first glance the memory of Cladia's kiss again disturbed Ornado's mind, making him accidentally make his lips singled out a naughty smile.

"Ehem...," Hearing deheman from Ornado, James turned his gaze from the envelope in his hand toward Ornado's slightly timid face.

"What's Ad? It feels like since yesterday your face has looked really happy,"

"Here you go, continue your work," James laughed happily before finally walking out of Ornado's office toying with the brown envelope in his hand rather than getting Ornado's sharp gaze that would surely make him shudder.
