Prison of the CEO's Heart

Secrets Uncovered

Happy reading!

The wedding reception has arrived at the end of its time. Elliot, who was still furious with Raymond's treatment of him, still held anger within him.

I didn't expect Alice to be my real sister.

Flashback ON

Ahead of the wedding Elliot is preoccupied with his task of sending out special invitations. But there was one thing he had to do as well was to trace Alice's genealogy because it was one of his duties, orders from Raymond.

Elliot discovers a secret from Alice's past that isn't Adrian's real son, but Alice is adopted by the Thomas Coram Foundation.

The fact that made Elliot stunned, because his last meeting with his younger sister was at that place.

What don't-don't?

If it's true, his face is not foreign to me.

Elliot's eyes began to turn red and wet, with what he found.

Alice is she really Ellisa?

Elliot went straight to the site of the foundation in Cambridge, 1 hour and 23 minutes from London.

Cambridge was where Elliot was as a child. Little Elliot used to live in the streets by begging with no place for him to shelter.

I went back to a place where I didn't want to go to him anymore.

Elliot recalls a heartbreaking story, living without a father who died in an accident in Cambridge, leaving Elliot and his younger sister homeless. His house was confiscated by the bank, because the debt that his father had not paid, the savings his mother had, was only enough for them to survive a few weeks.

They so nelangsa live on the streets, while holding Ellisa who was then 2 years old, the mother finally decided to leave Ellisa on a foundation, which is the foundation, in hope she does not want Ellisa to have to feel the hard life on the streets.

A sad farewell between Brother and Sister.

"Mom, is Ellisa going to be okay?" asked Elliot, who was 7 years old.

"Definitely dear, here Ellisa has a place to shelter and will be adopted by the family which will certainly give Ellisa a place to live and happiness," Amber replied.

Little Elliot just nodded in agreement with Amber's explanation, his eyes continued to look closely at Ellisa's face that was getting away from him.

"Goodbye Ellisa," said little Elliot who wept lamenting the departure of his sister.

🍁🍁🍁

Elliot recalled his past story, causing him to shed tears.

Elliot let out a rough sigh while continuing to drive his car, accompanied by a past sadness that continued to pierce his heart.

The car drove quickly to Cambridge.

Flashback OFF

The wedding reception ended smoothly. All the invited guests present, felt very amazed by everything that did look luxurious and elegant.

Raymond's family had started to leave the reception building, Nicholas' luxury car first drove away followed by several bodyguards accompanying him.

While 1 car is still waiting for Alice to leave immediately. Luxury car that has been decorated with some beautiful flowers on the front hood of the engine.

Alice's face was so sad looking one by one her family with haru.

Starting from Adrian and Norin, to end up in Tara as well as Jenny.

Adrian just silently braced himself, his gaze continued to look at Alice's face with guilt, but he was helpless against Raymond's power.

"Alice take good care of yourself, yes, Mommy will miss you a lot" Norin said as she hugged Alice's body, which will now stay away from her.

Norin's tears began to splatter down his cheeks. The tightness in his chest caused the sadness of separation, which he was unable to live.

Just like Norin, Tara and Jenny feel the same way, they are so sad, will part with Alice.

"Sister, take care of yourself Brother well, often play to the house and restaurant yes Kak," said Tara hugged Alice with her eyes that had been wet with tears.

"Yes Alice visits often, yes" said Jenny.

Alice was really not strong enough to hold the pool of tears that had been shed on her eyelids, the blink of Alice's eyes made a torrent of tears flowed down her cheeks, several times she wiped with her palms, she said, but the sadness did not end either. Sadness that weakens his steps toward the car, where Raymond is waiting.

Alice has no power to change her destiny, the fact that she is now part of the Weil family, the wife of an arrogant young CEO.

Jenny waved her hand as a farewell sign for Alice.

Alice sighed violently, while getting into the luxurious car. He sat down beside Raymond, staring at his family. The car drove slowly away from the reception building.

"When you cry for your family, you are only married and not dead" said Raymond, glancing at Alice, whose face was soaked with tears.

Raymond picked up some tissue, then gave it to Alice.

"This wipes away your tears and stop crying! If you keep crying like this, Daddy will think I'm the one who made you like this" Raymond said with a hardened face holding back his laughter.

"You're actually concerned with me or you just want to tease me" Alice said, wiping her tears with a tissue given by Raymond.

"Whatever you want to say!" said Raymond immediately turned his gaze away with his flat face.

Alice looked at Raymond.

I know she's good, but the bitter memories of Mrs Claire made her like this.

🍁🍁🍁

"Mom, you better go to Raymond's house by yourself, I can't get back to Alice."

Claire asks Mike to get ahead of Nicholas' car. After Claire gives the code to Nicholas' driver, the two cars then stop pulling over, Claire comes down and rushes to Nicholas' car. Mike continued his journey back home.

"Why didn't your son take you to Claire?" asked Nicholas in wonder.

"It's okay, Mike is just tired so he decides to go home," Claire replies hiding the truth.

Claire's heart was pounding strongly, there was a sense of awkwardness she felt while sitting next to her ex-husband.

Nicholas fell silent as he occasionally glanced at Claire.

I haven't seen her in a long time, but she still looks beautiful.

Nicholas's gaze bore a smile on his face.

But when Claire tried to catch her sight wet, Nicholas' eyes quickly dodged, until their gazes failed to intertwine.

"Nicholas as usual always steals glances to look at me, he always has the prestige of admitting it," muttered Claire with a small smile, aside from hooking hair to her ears.

🍁🍁🍁

The two luxury cars belonging to the Weil family had already passed through the gate of the house.

Alice's feelings were so palpitating, for this was the first time she would step foot in the Weil family home as a Madam Raymond.

Alice took in a deep breath, then let out slowly, as the car came to a halt right in the courtyard of the house.

"*This feeling I never imagined I'd feel. Now I'm coming back to this house as Mr. Raymond's wife, but I was determined to get Mr. Raymond to cancel this marriage and make him hate me, but what a chance I had, it turned out that my mind was even challenged to change his arrogant attitude arising from his bad memories," Alice murmured softly*.

Albert deftly opened the car door for Raymond, then ran small to the other side to open the car door for Alice, but Elliot looked more alert to open the car door for Alice.

Elliot helps Alice by uncovering the base of the wedding dress that interferes with her walking pace.

"Welcome Mrs Raymond" Elliot commented on her smile.

Alice, looking back, closed her eyes to Elliot's face, with pursed lips, a sign that she did not like the call made by Elliot.

"Mr Elliot, as usual, the lady sounded sweeter, Mr. Elliot," Alice protested linking her eyebrows together.

Elliot's joke only sounded like a small wind in Raymond's ear, he did not rub it all and continued his steps leaving Alice who was still not used to her long dangling dress.

Raymond's gaze immediately turned to Claire who was already sitting on the living room sofa.

Raymond walked up to Claire and began to ask in a loud voice.

"Now tell me, don't waste my precious time!" said Raymond haughty because the resentment in his heart is still adrift, when he saw the figure of his mother.

In the living room with a quiet atmosphere, only the hot aura of Raymond and the soft voice of Claire who was telling a story.

Raymond looked furious at Claire's explanation.

"Don't you think your decision would hurt me? You only attach importance to your first feelings and love, and then casually you leave your long-lived husband with you, although it is your marriage to Daddy because of an arranged marriage but your reason for leaving it is a mistake and I cannot forgive you, you better get out of here or I'll order the housekeeper to drag you out!" sniff Raymond with reddened eyes and a little wet.

Alice was troubled to digest Raymond's words. But he did not have the courage to defend Claire further, because Alice could not find anything true, to make him defend Claire before Raymond.

Claire knew very well the attitude of her son who was so hard in character. He could only cry and carry the pain with his steps towards the exit.

Elliot looked at Claire with pity. While Raymond had gone to his room in a hasty step, while kicking his luxurious urn until it fell and broke apart.

Alice stared at the broken pieces of the urn that were scattered on the floor, then she stepped foot to approach Claire.

Claire stopped her steps as Alice's voice sounded to call out to her.

Alice hugged Claire's body, which seemed almost unsteady, because she received Raymond's anger.

"Mom, may I call you that?" alice asked doubtfully.

"May son," replied Claire whose face was still flooded with tears.

Alice took off her arms while touching Claire's shoulders with both hands, she wiped the tears on Claire's cheeks with her palms.

"I'll help you to make Mr. Raymond forgive you, but I need time, so be patient Mom! Rest assured that Mr. Raymond will not be forever hard" Alice said, linking her eyebrows together.

Claire nodded, she began to smile faintly at the promise Alice made, arising in her mind a glimmer of hope that her relationship with Raymond could be restored.

"Raymond didn't choose you wrong," Claire praised as she gently touched Alice's face.

Alice smiled at the smile on her face hearing Claire's praise. Alice turned her head towards Elliot who was still staring at her comfortably from where she was standing.

"Mr Elliot I'm asking you to please, can you order Albert to drive Mommy home! I don't want her to go home alone" Alice told Elliot, who kept his eyes on Claire and Alice.

"Okay, Mrs Raymond," Elliot replied jokingly.

Alice scrunched her forehead.

"Mr Elliot if you call me that again, tomorrow morning you will walk to MANGO Corporate" Alice grumbled with her lips pursed.

"Well, just now that Miss Alice is married to Mr. Raymond, your style of speech is like her, do not-don't later you who will turn into arrogant like yes," elliot chuckled as he stepped out.

Alice wails. Her innocent face began to search for answers to the question Elliot had said.

"What did I just say?" alice asked while scratching her head which was actually not itchy at all.
