PRISONERS END IN LOVE

Marry Me

Grace immediately packed up as she had to leave the Nugraha family home. He accidentally turned off the phone number he used to communicate with Rivaldi. He deliberately left the clothes and items he had bought from the mall to avoid Arina's suspicion.

With only her sling bag, Grace walked down the steps at a quick pace.

" Rena, where are you going?"

Grace was aghast when she heard Arina's voice that was already under the stairs.

" Hmmm, Aunt. I'm gonna let you go for a second, Tan!?" pamit Grace, hoping Arina doesn't get in the way of her departure.

" Where else do you want to go, Rena?" ask Arina.

Grace rubbed her nape, she was a little groggy answering a question from Arina. " Hmmm, Papa I just called. He said Papa had just arrived in Bandung. I have to see Papa for a second, Tan. You're worried about me." Eventually Grace finds a good reason to leave Nugraha's house.

" But Aldi just called Auntie, Aldi forbade you from leaving here."

Grace is shocked to hear Arina say that Rivaldi just called Arina and forbade her from leaving. He had guessed that Rivaldi had indeed known his disguise. However, it seems that Arina does not know about her disguise. Because Arina's attitude is still normal to him at this time.

" A-Aldi called Auntie and forbade me to go? Why is that, Tan?" Garce pretended to ask in wonder.

" Aunty doesn't know. But Aldi ordered Aunt not to let you leave the house." As Garce alleged. Arina does not know about her disguise at the moment.

" Well, Aldi forbid that, Tan? Aldi just happened to help me, and I'm not his prisoner. Why am I locked up like this, Tan?!" Grace pretends to be sulky, and doesn't like Rivaldi's attitude towards her.

" Aunty is sorry that Aldi's attitude makes you uncomfortable, Rena." Feeling that Rivaldi was overreacting to curb Grace, Arina apologized.

" Aunty, please give me permission to come out. It won't be long, Tan. I don't intend to run away anyway. Auntie see for yourself I just brought a sling bag, right?" Grace persuades Arina to let her go.

.

" Please, Tan." Grace even held Arina's hand.

" Hmmm, okay. But, come back quickly, Rena. Don't let Aldi know Aunt let you go." Arina was forced to give permission because she felt guilty for holding Grace back. Of course she didn't want Grace to have a bad opinion of her family. Because she really hopes Grace will be her daughter-in-law.

" May, Aunt. I just wanted to see my dad for a minute, really." said Grace smiling with relief.

" You'll be delivered with Auntie's driver, huh?"

" No, Tan. I've booked a taxi, all right." Grace refuses Arina's offer. " Thank you, Tan. I'll go first." Grace hugged Arina, and she felt guilty for Arina. He was already comfortable at Rivaldi's parents' house. Moreover, the warm treatment he got especially from Arina made it feel heavy to have to leave the house. However, what to say, maybe Arina will hate him if Arina knows if she has been playing.

Grace finally came out safely from Nugraha's house. He got a message from Rizal to stay at the family-owned hotel David Richard in Bandung. Rizal tells Grace to use the online motorcycle twice to trick Rivaldi. Rizal seems to be afraid if the car number to be used by Grace recorded by the cctv at the residence of Nugraha and Rivaldi will track where Grace is currently.

Rizal did not immediately tell Grace to come home. But, Rizal is the one who will pick up Grace in Bandung. Actually Grace also did not understand why Rizal took the trouble to pick her up to Bandung. Though it would only be a waste of time, however, Grace was forced to follow Rizal's direction because she suspected there was another mission that she had to work on in Bandung.

Around five in the afternoon, Grace's hotel room door was knocked from the outside. However, he did not open the door to the room. Only when her phone rang and Rizal contacted her did Grace immediately move towards the door to open the door.

" Are we going back to Jakarta now?" ask Grace to Rizal. Because the man didn't tell him to rush to get the bag and get out. However, Rizal actually went in and took off his jacket and threw it on the sofa in the hotel room, also taking off the shoes he wore.

" I've paid to stay here one night. There's no harm in us spending the night here" said Rizal grinning.

" You're gonna sleep in this room? A room with me??" Grace frowned hearing Rizal say he was going to stay at the hotel.

" why? Aren't you often in a room with men?" rizal chuckled, making Grace roll her eyes and step towards the bed.

" What did you do last night with Rivaldi?" While following Garce's steps, Rizal asked the thing that made his heart uneasy last night.

" Many! Talk, hold hands, cuddle, kiss ..." Grace mentioned things she did not do with Rivaldi except to talk.

Rizal immediately pulled out Grace's hand after hearing what Grace said.

" Holding hands like this?" Rizal clasped Grace's hand. Then she pulled Grace's waist until the woman's body docked to her. " Hug like this?" Now Rizal turns his lips near Grace's lips.

" And kiss like this?" Rizal's breath felt on Grace's skin, so warm, especially when Rizal put their lips together.

Grace gasps. But, he did not reject the pagutan that Rizal did to him. Grace enjoys even retaliating on what Rizal did to her.

Feeling that Grace did not refuse her touch made Rizal more excited. She pulled down Grace's nape to deepen her grip. Soon Rizal drops Grace's body onto the bed and restrains it without uniting their lips. The annoyance and jealousy that last night bothered him seemed to disappear instantly.

Rizal was so excited about Grace's smooth lips, face and neck. He seemed to want to clean up the trail Rivaldi left in the section he had diabsen earlier. Rivaldi did not touch Grace at all.

" Acci ..." Grace mende was legitimate when Rizal bit her neck.

" Which other part did Rivaldi dare to touch?" rizal asked whispering near Grace's ear.

" You think?" grace Sahut. It seems that the woman was indeed happy to make Rizal jealous.

" I won't let another man touch this." Rizal's hand rubbed Grace's lips that felt moist. " This beautiful face." Then Rizal stroked Grace's face and went down to the neck. " And this smooth neck is mine. Only I can touch her." Rizal seems to have the most power over what Grace has.

" I'm not yours, old man!" rebut Grace brushed off Rizal's words that felt very entitled to her.

" You will be mine soon." Rizal reunited their lips with a full of passionate rat. Rizal wants to take Grace. Until the sound of a crack over their lip game that was clearly heard in the hotel room.

" Are you not afraid the hotel will ambush us, old man?" Grace is afraid of being suddenly searched while she is in contact with the team as she is with Rizal.

" This is Om David's hotel. There is no way anyone would dare to do that to us" said Rizal.

" Do we feel free to do whatever we want?" ask Grace back

Rizal looked into Grace's eyes until now they stared at each other closely.

" Do you want it?" Rizal asked back. Of course Rizal knew what Grace meant. Grace is not a holy girl. The woman had been in a team with her former lover, so Rizal knew the direction of Grace's speech.

" Do you dare to do it?" challenge Grace.

" I'll do it if we're officially married." However, Rizal actually brought his lips back to Grace's lips, wanting to resume activities that made him excited.

Grace's words made Rizal stop his intention to reunite their lips. She looked back into Grace's eyes. Before long she dropped her body beside Grace with her hands still hugging Grace's body and face docked towards the woman's cheek.

Rizal's loud sigh was felt on Grace's cheek, which indicated that Rizal was trying to dampen his irritation that began to erupt.

" I want you so much, Grace. Marry me!" the greeting of a request that might be interpreted as a proposal made by Rizal made Grace gasp to make herself turn towards the man who was almost twice his age.

Grace could see the seriousness from the eyes of the eagle Rizal was staring at her. However, he himself was not sure if he and Rizal would be able to be together. Too many obstacles will be faced by the two of them if forced to be together.

Rivaldi rudely opened the guest room door that was originally occupied by Grace. Since learning that Grace is not the son of Mr. Satria, the man immediately contacted Arina because Grace and Rizal's phone were both inactive. Rivaldi even asks Arina to forbid Grace from leaving the Nugraha house. However, due to Arina's innocence, Grace finally manages to escape her.

Like Rizal, Rivaldi immediately rushed to travel to Bandung and left his job. He is very curious about the undercover motives of Grace and Rizal who claim to be emissaries of a Satria-owned company that he knows is a business partner of Mahadika Gautama.

Rivaldi saw the items newly purchased by Grace were still complete in the room. He gave a rude snort, not expecting Grace to be so ingenious as to not arouse suspicion if the woman had run away from Nugraha's house.

" The al! He's really smart!" rivaldi's curse with rage.

Rivaldi tries to dial back Grace and Rizal's phone numbers. But their numbers are still unreachable.

" Did they kiss me if I found out about their lies? How could they disappear so quickly? Has anyone been watching my movements all this time?" Rivaldi began to suspect that someone had been watching him.

" What do they mean they did this to me?! And who is behind them?! Who's playing games with me!?" Rivaldi clenched his hands because he felt indignant to have been played by Rizal especially Grace who performed so perfectly against him. Though personally, the figure of Grace has started to steal his attention, even making him very impressed with the woman.

Rivaldi immediately contacted someone via his mobile phone.

" Hello, Jim. I'm asking you to investigate Rena and Firman. Find out who they really are!?" Rivaldi immediately gave orders to Jimmy to find information about Grace and Rizal.

" You know Rena's apartment lives, right? Let's find out who the real woman is, Jim!?"

" Rena who lives in the apartment of Angkasa Raya, Boss? What's wrong with him, boss?" jimmy asked curiously.

" He tricked me, Jim. They've all been on a show wanting to work with me." Rizal's tone of voice still sounded annoyed.

" They're cheating? How many of them got the same, boss?" Jimmy thought that Rivaldi was being deceived in material terms.

" No, Jim! I have not suffered any material losses. I have not traded anything with them. But, they all lie and use the name Langgeng Putra Persada, even though they have nothing to do with Pak Satria's company." Rivaldi dismissed the allegations if he was materially harmed. Because he has no material loss. However, maybe his heart was a little stolen, because he had to admit, actually he wanted to establish a special relationship with Grace, let alone the presence of Grace once accepted by his family. But unfortunately, all that was in vain, because the figure of Rena who he hoped could divert his love from Kayra just now seems unreal.

In the evening, Rizal invited a special dinner on the hotel balcony. Rizal had asked the hotel to prepare a dining table for him to enjoy a dinner together with Grace there.

Amidst his fears of his disguise being exposed by Rivaldi. The thirty-nine-year-old man still had time to prepare romantic things like dinner tonight.

" Let's say it's our date. After the first date yesterday failed," Rizal joked as he pulled Grace's hand and led Grace to the balcony after the hotel maid had finished preparing the table for dinner.

Grace watched the food and drinks and the bouquet of pink roses lying on the table.

" You're like a young man, old man." Grace commented. Actually he himself was a bit surprised by the dinner that Rizal had prepared for him.

" A dinner is only appropriate for young people? Besides, my future wife is still young. What's wrong with having a dinner like this?" Rizal answered the criticism expressed by Grace.

Rizal pulled the chair and let Grace sit on it. " Sit ...!" she sat down in front of Grace.

Grace took the bouquet of flowers placed on the table. He loved flowers to the point that he was interested in taking them. However, he was surprised when he saw a jewelry box inside the bouquet. Grace's forehead immediately wrinkled to see the jewelry box that allegedly was a ring box. At once his gaze was also directed at Rizal who was looking at him with a smile.

" Open up ...!" Rizal asks Grace to open the jewelry box.

" I don't want to ...!" Grace handed the jewelry box to Rizal.

" What do you think it is? It's not a ring to propose to you!" Rizal knew if Grace would suspect what was in the box was a ring.

Grace eventually picks up and opens the small box because Rizal says it was a ring to propose to her. Honestly, he was afraid that Rizal would actually propose to him. However, Grace immediately squinted her eyes and turned her head back towards Rizal as she had already been tricked by the man. Because the contents of the jewelry box turned out to be really a diamond ring from a famous brand that he already knew the quality.

" You lied to me!" Grace frowned and closed the jewelry box and handed it to Rizal.

While Rizal smiled happily because he managed to prank Grace. He opened the jewelry box and took the ring out of its place. Rizal took Grace's left hand and pinned the ring on Grace's ring finger, without giving Grace a chance to turn it down.

" This ring is prettier on your finger than it is on this box" Rizal said, then dyed Grace's wiggly fingers.

Rizal's sweet treatment makes Grace's face blush. However, Grace still hesitates to accept Rizal's wish to edit it.

" We're eating now." Rizal invites Grace to start eating some food.

" I will soon meet your Mama to ask you to be my wife" Rizal said as they began to eat at the table.

" Mom won't approve, like your son doesn't approve of it." Grace answered Rizal's words quickly.

" You'd better take care of your son before you see my mother" he continued.

" Does this mean you're willing to be the old man's wife?" Rizal gave a smile as he managed to trap Grace with his words. From the sentence that Grace said, there was no rejection from Grace as Grace used to do if she discussed her desire to have Grace. Because all this time Grace always reasoned if she did not want to have a partner whose age was far above her age.
