Paying Karma Love

64 Return to Love

Mrs. Valeria hears Reiner and Nicko talking on the phone.

So Audrey's back. Maybe he went home or stayed with Jonathan. I have to prevent Rein from returning to Audrey. I'd better act now before Reiner gets home.

thought Ny. Valeria.

Mrs. Valeria took her cell phone and called Mr Abram, her trusted lawyer.

"Mr Abram, have you prepared my son's divorce papers with his wife?"

"Already, Mistress. The file is ready, just signed by Mr. Reiner and Mrs. Audrey." - Audrey."

"good. Reiner won't sign the letter. But we're gonna force Audrey. Tomorrow please find Audrey, I'll give you the address. Hand over the letter and tell Audrey exactly what we've designed."

"Okay, Madam."

"Thank you, Mr. Abram. I'll transfer the money as soon as you complete your task. Remember not to let Reiner know about this."

"Yes, my lady understands."

Rein forgive Mama. You better get divorced than Audrey. Mama's gonna set you up with Bianca. Mama doesn't want to have a daughter-in-law with whom Diana and her son were once related.

If my plan works, Audrey will think Reiner divorced her. He will never return to my son's life.

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

Audrey was taking Shane for a walk around Mr Jonathan's garden to sunbathe. He saw Bi Imas, Lord Jonathan's servant, talking to a man in a black suit.

"Who is that guy? Is he Jonathan's friend?" audrey thought she was curious.

Bi Imas came in a hurry to meet Audrey.

"Miss, the man is looking for you. His name is Abram Darusman. Said he was Bratawijaya's family lawyer."

A lawyer? What's he looking for me for? How did he know I was here?

audrey wondered.

"Okay, Bi, I'll see him."

Audrey takes Shane from her carriage and meets Mr. Abram.

"Are you Mrs Audrey Bratawijaya?" asked Mr. Abram to look at Audrey.

"Yes, Sir. What is the need to find me?"

"Include me Abram Darusman, Bratawijaya family lawyer. I've been sent by Mr. Reiner to meet you. May I come inside, madam?"

"Sure, sir, let's go in."

Audrey invited Mr. Abram to sit in the living room.

"Sorry, my lady came here to deliver this letter to you. Please read it carefully" said Mr Abram, handing over a map to Audrey.

Audrey puts Shane on her swing and opens the contents of the map.

Audrey's hand shook violently when she saw the contents of the map.

Divorce Lawsuit

Reiner Bratawijaya

"Sir, what does this mean?" audrey did not believe what she was reading.

"Mrs, Mr. Reiner filed for divorce with you. If you agree to sign it now, then Mr. Reiner will hand over custody of his son to you."

"I.this is impossible. A.. Is Reiner healed now?"

"Mr Reiner is healed, madam. It's just that Mr. Reiner hasn't returned yet, because he wants the divorce process with you done as soon as possible."

Audrey's tears didn't flow. His body seemed to lose all energy. He had not expected Reiner to divorce him when their son was born. Even Reiner was not willing to go home to meet his wife and son.

Audrey's feelings were shattered upon rereading the letter.

"Sir, but there's no signature on my husband's letter yet."

"Mrs, Mr. Reiner asked you to sign it first. Once you agree then Mr. Reiner will immediately process his divorce."

"I'm sorry, Mr. Abram, I can't sign this letter. I have to meet my husband first," Audrey said, trying to maintain her marriage.

Mr Abram squinted his eyes.

"Mrs, you better not complicate this matter. Mr. Reiner sent me here because he didn't want to see you. If you want to stay with your son, then I suggest you sign him immediately. If you refuse, Mr. Reiner will not hesitate to file a new divorce papers. And of course Mr. Reiner will file for custody of his son. You know the Bratawijaya family is very powerful and capable of anything."

Audrey looked at Shane who was fast asleep on her swing. Shane was the only reason for him to survive at this moment. He wouldn't be able to lose Shane. Though her heart ached deeply, Audrey made up her mind to keep Shane by her side.

"Okay, sir, I'll sign it" Audrey said with trembling hands.

Mrs. Valeria will definitely be happy because her plan worked.

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

Today is the wedding day. Olin and Mr. Jonathan. Amidst all the harsh realities she had to face, her mother's marriage had given Audrey a glimmer of hope. He promises himself to stay strong for the sake of his son Shane.

Audrey was amazed to see the change in appearance of her finished mother. My mom rarely dressed up. It turned out that only with simple white makeup and dresses, her mother already looked beautiful.

"Shane, look at Oma so beautiful" Audrey said as she held Shane.

"Audrey, don't overdo it. My mother is old" replied the woman. Olin shy.

"Look, Ma, Shane smiled at Mama" Audrey said, showing Shane's cheerful face. At almost three months old, Shane can respond when spoken to or interacted with Audrey.

Audrey hands Shane over to be carried by Sinta, one of Mr. Jonathan's servants.

"Come, Ma. Jonathan was waiting ahead" said Audrey holding her mother's hand.

The wedding of Mrs. Olin and Mr. Jonathan were held in a simple way. They only invited their closest friends to attend the event. But for Audrey, the happiness on her and Mr. Jonathan's faces was paramount.

Audrey helps her mom sit next to Mr. Jonathan. The priest who was waiting for them immediately started the wedding ceremony.

Audrey returns to her seat and sees Sinta not holding Shane. However, Shane is being carried by Tristan.

"Love, why hand Shane over to Tristan?" audrey asked the waiter.

"Audrey, don't scold him. I forced to carry Shane. Look at her laughing happily at me," said Tristan holding onto Shane's tiny hand.

"Tristan, just give Shane to me."

"Audrey, you should be with your mama now. Just focus on the wedding until it's over. I'll take care of Shane. She won't be fussy" Tristan assured Audrey.

"Later if mama needs me I'll leave Shane to you" Audrey said, taking Shane from Tristan's hand.

"Look at Shane your mama is so fierce, she's jealous of Om" Tristan said mocking Audrey.

Audrey did not heed Tristan's words and walked towards the front seat. Among the line of guests present, Audrey somehow felt the presence of someone watching her.

Towards the end of the show, Audrey was forced to leave Shane to Bi Imas because her son was starting to fuss.

"Bi, please take Shane out ahead for a bit. I'll catch up."

"Yes, Miss."

Audrey returned to the show to take pictures together and greet the guests. But his feelings became unsettled.

"Ma, Pa, Audrey don't have to take any more pictures. Audrey's worried about Shane."

"Yes, Audrey, you and Shane go home first with the driver. We're fine here" said Mr. Jonathan, calming Audrey down.

"Thank you, Pa. Audrey said goodbye."

Audrey walks ahead to look for Bi Imas and Shane, but she does not find them both. Audrey tried to walk around the building, but the results were nil. He still did not find the whereabouts of Bi Imas and his little son.

"Bi Imas," called Audrey screaming in confusion.

"Audrey what's wrong?" tristan asked after Audrey.

"Tristan, Bi Imas and Shane are missing. What should I do," said Audrey desperately.

"Audrey, relax. I'm gonna go find Shane. Wait here," said Tristan, walking quickly away from Audrey.

Oh my God where is Shane? Did someone kidnap her?

I thought Audrey was worried.

The sudden sound of her phone ringing, made Audrey startled.

"Hello, who is this?" audrey asked to see an unfamiliar mobile number.

"Audrey, I know you've changed your phone number on purpose. But I managed to find you," answered the voice.

The sound made Audrey's throat choked. A voice he was very familiar with.

Rein's? Is this really you?

"Audrey, why are you quiet? Are you afraid to hear my voice? Our son is in my hands. If you want to meet him, meet me now at Amarilla's apartment."

"Tu.nggu Rein, why are you taking Shane secretly?"

"Darling, there's no need to ask too many questions. You should come here alone and not tell anyone. I gave you an hour. If you don't come, I'll take Shane away."

"Rein. please don't. Well, I'll be here soon to see you," Audrey said almost in tears.

Rein why did you come again this way? What do you want from me? Don't you want to divorce me.
