Paying Karma Love

46 I'm Injured

"Mrs, are you awake? Are you well, Madam?" bi Mila asked, looking at Audrey's face.

"I feel refreshed after a good night's sleep, Bi," Audrey replied with a smile.

"Mrs last night Mr. Nicko called to look for you."

Nicko...why did Nicko call me? Why not Reiner? Does he not want to talk directly to me? Maybe for him calling me wasn't important.

audrey's mind is upset.

"Auntie why didn't you wake me?" audrey asked as she drank her tea.

"I dare not bother you, Madam. Mr. Nicko is just asking if you've come home and are you okay. Ma'am, I made chicken porridge and sandwiches for you. Or do you want another meal for breakfast?"

"It's enough Bi, thank you."

So he told Nicko to watch over me again? I think he's changed. He still thinks of me as a prisoner.

"Madam, about half an hour ago someone came to the lobby delivering Madam's bag" said Bi Mila.

"Where's my bag now, Bi?"

"I'll keep it in Mr. Madam's room."

Audrey hurriedly finished her breakfast and walked into Reiner's room. He saw that his bag was on the table. For some reason, Audrey was eager to check her phone. The ultimate goal is to check if Reiner called or left a message. However, Audrey felt disappointed when she found out her phone was dead.

Must have exhausted the battery. I have to charge my phone first so it can be turned on.

After charging her phone battery, Audrey exits Reiner's room. To Audrey, the room felt empty without Reiner present. Right now, he needs someone to pour out his heart.

I'd better go to Mama's today.

"Bi, I'm going to go to Mama's house for a while. I'll be back after lunch."

"Mrs, please don't go anywhere just yet. I'm afraid Madam is sick again."

"Auntie just calm down. I've been taking vitamins. I'll take a taxi and I won't stop by anywhere. I'm tired of staying in the apartment, Bi."

"But, Mistress. Master will scold me.."

"Bi Mila don't have to be afraid. I'll take responsibility if Reiner gets angry. I'll go first, Bi."

Madam why don't you obey me. What if something happens later.

...****************...

Nicko picks up Reiner from the airport and drives him home to the apartment. Their journey is slightly hampered, because of the usual congestion before leaving for the office.

"Nicko, what time is it?"

"Nearly nine o'clock in the morning sir."

"I should have been able to get home early. Didn't Audrey come into the office today?"

"Yes, sir, Bi Mila said Miss is on leave today."

"Nicko, you didn't tell Bi Mila that I came home today, did you?"

"No, sir, as your orders."

Good I could surprise Audrey.

inner Reiner smiled to himself.

"Sir, do you want to stop by the office first? There are some files you need to sign."

"No, I'll go straight home. Then bring me the files I need to sign to the apartment. Don't forget to bring me my marriage contract with Audrey."

"Good, Sir."

I can always guess Mr. Reiner's thoughts. I'm sure if you're in love, he'll cancel the marriage contract.

inner Nicko praised the accuracy of his own prediction.

"But, Nicko, don't bother me for too long. Just come to lunch."

"Yes, Sir."

Do people who are in love just want to be alone in the world? I was even considered a bully.

thought Nicko astonished.

"Nicko, what do you think is the best place for a honeymoon?"

What more question is this, sir? You think I have time to think about that kind of problem.

"There are many masters. But I think you better take Miss to the villa owned by Mr. who is near the mountains. The place is cold and the view is beautiful. Miss Audrey would love to."

"Sir, I think Miss Sofia would be happy to see you together with Miss Audrey" Nicko said, trying to convince Reiner.

Hearing his assistant's words, Reiner again regretted his actions to Audrey all this time.

"Yes you're right. Sofia wants me to be happy with Audrey. I'm the one who's too stupid and trusts Aunt Diana more."

Reiner was delighted when he finally arrived at the apartment.

"Nicko, you go back to the office. I'll go upstairs myself."

"Well, sir, I'll be here at twelve o'clock."

"Okay, thank you, Nicko."

With a quick step, Reiner entered the elevator leading to the top floor. However, his heart suddenly beat faster. I don't know why she was nervous to meet Audrey. The words he had originally planned, seemed to simply vanish from his memory.

Where should I start? What better I say that I miss him and go straight home. Ah.don't be too childish. Or I apologize to him for my mistake. But what if he won't forgive me?

thought Reiner was worried.

Although his heart was still pounding, Reiner forced himself to remain calm. After pressing the password, Reiner opened the door of his apartment. He saw Bi Mila was busy in the kitchen to prepare lunch. But there was no sign of Audrey there.

"Tu.an Reiner's. You're home yet?" bi Mila asked surprised by Reiner's arrival.

"Bi, where's Audrey? Didn't he go to work today?" ask Reiner to Bi Mila.

A fearful expression was evident on Bi Mila's face.

"I'm sorry, sir. Madam just left. The madam said she wanted to go to her family's house."

"Did he go alone??? Why didn't Aunt prevent it? Yesterday he had just fainted, what if he suddenly fainted again on the street? I assigned Bi Mila here to look after and accompany Audrey" Reiner said angrily.

"Ma. forgive me, Tu.an. I can't prevent Madam,"

"Here you go, I'll catch up with him."

Reiner went into his room and placed the suitcase he was carrying on the floor. He shook his head when he saw Audrey's phone on his desk.

He even left his phone here dead. Why are you so reckless and stubborn, Audrey? You don't care about your own health. Just make me worry.

Reiner hurriedly opened his desk drawer to retrieve the car keys. However, he stopped when he saw his own appearance in front of the mirror. He realized that he had not changed his clothes since he was on the plane. His face and hair also looked messy. He felt insecure if he had to meet his wife with such an ugly appearance.

I'll take a shower before I pick up Audrey.

After bathing and refreshing himself, Reiner came out of his room and prepared to leave. But his steps came to a halt as his phone rang loudly several times. Reiner checked his phone and saw a number of incoming message notifications from an unknown number.

Whose cell phone number is this?

reiner was suspicious.

Out of curiosity, Reiner opened the message and read the contents.

Dear Mr. Reiner, I just want to let you know that your wife has cheated on you behind your back. If you do not believe me, please see the following photos.

Reiner's eyes widened as he began to open the contents of the message one by one. He saw a picture of a young man holding Audrey in his car. Next, there was a photo of the man embracing Audrey's shoulder and holding her hand affectionately. And most painful to Reiner, he saw Audrey smiling with the man while eating a slice of pizza. Audrey had never even shown such a sweet smile when she was together.

"Aaargh..," cried Reiner full of anger.

Bi Mila who heard Reiner's scream from the kitchen, rushed over to the master.

"Sir, what's wrong" asked Bi Mila frightened by the look in Reiner's eyes.

Reiner tried to gain control of himself and showed Bi Mila a photo.

"Bi Mila, is this the man who drove Audrey to the apartment?"

"I.iya Mister. In.a whose name...Mr. Tristan," Bi Mila replied trembling.

"Tristan!!!"

"Audrey why would you do all this to me???" erang Reiner endured the pain in his heart.

Reiner clenched his hand and smashed it hard against the wall. Bi Mila was getting more frightened watching Reiner's injured hand and bleeding.

"Tu..an, are you okay? I'll treat your hands."

"I have to leave now," Reiner said without paying any heed to Bi Mila.

Reiner's frightening eyes made Bi Mila could only be glued in silence. He did not have the courage to prevent the departure of Reiner who was being overwhelmed by anger.

I need to call Mr. Nicko. Don't let Mr. Reiner do anything desperate and hurt Madam.

thought Bi Mila was worried.
