"What if I was a museum, he was in my mansion, he was a rare item that was almost expired and more suitable in the museum right, ha ha ha. that's much more fun."

Alfhat laughed all the way home. She was so happy, her plan finally worked.

Meanwhile, Mr. David looks moody. The middle-aged man so quickly finished his meal then rushed into his study. That's where he's always alone when he has problems.

Etha and her mother just looked at each other, then they continued their meal. After dinner together, Etha invited her mother to meet her father in his study.

"Mama, if you look around, it seems like Papa has a problem" Etha said with her guess, pretending not to know anything.

"Yes, it looks like your Papa has a problem. My mom thought that too. Especially lately Papa you change, more often daydream, and every time you come home from Papa's office you always spend time in his study. Every time Mama asks her to speak, Papa doesn't respond well and is more silent" Ms Lexa said at length explaining her husband's changing attitude recently.

"Then, Mama just ask me what Papa's problem really is, who knows we can help him, Mama" Etha smiled.

"You're right baby, come on." said Mrs Lexa, stroking her daughter's shoulder.

"Eits, wait a minute, Mama. I'll grab a drink first."

"Yes, Mama's waiting for you in Papa's study."

Etha smiled with a nod of her head in response to her mother's words, then she rushed into the kitchen. Mrs Lexa rushed to the husband's office.

Ms. Lexa walked into the workroom without knocking on the door first. He was surprised by the frown seeing the atmosphere of the working room of the husband looked messy. Documents with important files are scattered on the floor.

"What happened to you?" ask Miss Lexa while approaching her husband.

Mr. David was only able to quietly occupy his seat, he did not pierce the words of the wife at all.

"What happened! why can this be. Answer me!" ms. Lexa said seriously with a high voice, because she saw the husband was only able to be silent.

"I've ruined everything." said Mr. David with teary eyes staring at his wife.

"Destroying everything? tell me honestly, I don't understand what you mean, Mas." said Ms. Lexa.

Mr. David sighed heavily, then he began to tell about all the problems he was facing without anyone to cover it up from his wife. However regarding Alfhat's offer, he did not dare to say so.

Madame Lexa who heard every explanation of the husband was only able to close her mouth as if in disbelief.

"So that's the case, madam, so you changed and closed yourself to me" Lexa said with teary eyes.

"Why are you saying it now, Mas" said Ms. Lexa angrily.

"I don't have the strength to tell you all that. I really don't want you to think about the problems I'm facing. I don't want you to know that our company went bankrupt, and now I'm in debt" Mr. David said, wiping his hair in frustration.

Miss Lexa was only able to hold the end of the table to support her body so as not to make her fall. Because both of his legs became weak after hearing the words of the husband.

"Then what are you going to do, Mom? how do you keep your debts?." asked Mrs Lexa.

"In that case, I'll ask Darren for help, who knows Darren can help us pay your debts" Lexa suggested and wanted to go to her room to get her phone, then contact his sister-in-law.

However, master David immediately stopped him

"Don't do that baby, Darren has helped us a lot, especially the company. After all, he is currently grieving." said Mr. David.

"Yes, then I'll call Dilan. Who knows he could help your company and pay off some of your debts."

"No dear, I don't want my son's company in trouble. Mr. Alfhat is not an indiscriminate person, he could have done the same as with my company. Moreover, the company that I work with, no one wants to help me, because the company of Mr. Alfhat presses all his companies." explained Mr. David at length.

"Keep, why should you cooperate with such a person. Look, now he's just destroying your company, man."

"I was not clear-minded at that time, because I was so tempted by winning some big tenders that Mr. Alfhat came to me to invite me to cooperate with his company. Without a second thought, I immediately agreed without first finding out the background of the company."

Madame Lexa was only able to massage her forehead which suddenly felt dizzy.

"Jeez, you really are...." Madame Lexa could not continue her words, her tears streaming down her cheeks. He could only cry and not speak anymore.

"I'm sorry baby, I'm so stupid" said Mr. David regretfully.

While Etha did not dare to go inside, after hearing her father and mother arguing. He chose to eavesdrop on their conversation at the door while holding the tray he was carrying.

"How much is your debt nominal? then how do you repay all your debts?" madam Lexa asked as she rubbed her tears violently.

"The number is fantastic, I can't name the number. To pay for it, Mr. Alfhat made an offer to me, and I immediately agreed to it." said Mr. David then exhaled violently.

"offerings? what's the offer like." Madame Lexa immediately turned her gaze looking suspiciously at the husband.

Mr. David breathed a heavy sigh, he was simply unable to say it.

"I made our daughter a debt relief tool to pay off all my debts. If we don't accept the offer, we and our family must leave this house immediately and automatically I will lose everything, including the company of the late Papa" said Mr. David.

"You're crazy! you shouldn't have your daughter as a debt relief tool. You are such a cruel Papa! have you sold your daughter to that man." said Miss Lexa angrily with reddened eyes shrouded in anger.

"I had to do it. I did it all for the good of our family. I have promised the late Papa to continue to run his company well, if I do not accept his offer, it means that I will renege on my promise to the late Papa. Not only that, I could be in prison for life. Because we only have three days left to pay off all the debts of the company" said Mr. David at length explained.

"But what you're doing is wrong!. I don't agree!, I'm even ready to lose everything that obviously don't sacrifice my daughter!" refute Miss Lexa with a fiery rage.

"For years we've been married, now I've only seen your true nature, Mas. Turns out you're a mean, selfish person who only cares about your own interests." Madame Lexa was so angry that she pointed at her husband. Because he did not expect the husband so firmly make his daughter as a means of repayment of debt.

"I'm sorry Lexa. I was helpless and didn't know what to do." said Mr. David regretfully.

Madame Lexa rushed out of the room not even forgetting to slam the door.

"Etha." Madame Lexa was surprised to see the princess standing before her.
