Reynald the CEO

Chapter 83

Jakarta, Reynald Penthouse.

The time had begun to enter the night and the rain was greeting the Capital heavily. The thunderous thunder of lightening to each other made the atmosphere quite tense. Reynald, who was sitting quietly in the living room enjoying a cup of capucinno, was suddenly shocked to hear a scream coming from Jessy's room.

He ran to Jessy's room and opened it. It looks like the little girl is cowering in fear while hugging a bolster pillow. Reynald glanced towards the window that had not been covered by the curtains. He took a breath and walked towards the window. Reynald quickly pulled the curtains to close the window perfectly.

"It's been.. It's been.. It's okay, baby" Reynald said, hugging Jessy.

Jessy tightened her embrace. "I'm scared, Dad. The lightning was very glare.. His voice is big too".

Reynald rubbed Jessy's back gently trying to calm her daughter down.

"There's a Daddy now.. You don't have to be afraid. Do you want to have dinner now while you're watching cartoons?".

Jessy nodded slowly. The little girl then looked at Reynald softly. "Mommy when are you coming home, Dad?"

Reynald suddenly fell silent and threw his gaze in any direction.

"Wouldn't Mommy stay with us anymore?"

"Hmmm.." Reynald simply cleared his throat while tidying up Jessy's hair while thinking of an appropriate answer for his daughter.

Suddenly a penthouse bell rang out and the sound of someone entering a password on the door. Reynald immediately stepped out of the room in the adhering to Jessy to see who had come.

Clara is soon followed by Renata stepping into the penthouse. Reynald frowned in astonishment at the sight of the two women who could never get along.

"Mom!" Shouted Jessy as she ran over to Clara.

"Don't confuse. I just passed him in the lobby" Sahut Renata seemed to understand Reynald's confused look.

"I'm here to pick up my stuff" Clara said to the point.

Jessy who was hugging Clara's waist raised her head to look at each other in the direction of Clara and Reynald.

"More.. Please accompany Jessy in her room" Reynald said slowly. Renata nodded and immediately took over Jessy who was still hugging Clara's body.

"Jes, come with Aunty Ren to the room. Aunty has something for you.. Let Mom and Dad talk to each other, okay?" Persuade Renata.

Jessy who seemed to understand was not difficult to persuade and immediately followed Renata to return to her room.

Reynald looked at Clara. "There's something we need to talk about. Come with me upstairs"

Reynald just passed by to the 2nd floor of his penthouse and immediately entered his room. Clara soon entered.

For a long time both were silent, a thousand languages. Reynald was standing by the balcony door of his room. Looking at the flash of light from the lightning striking each other. He then paved his body towards Clara who was sitting on the sofa staring at him.

"Has your decision been unanimous, Clara?"

Clara looked at Reynald with a difficult look. The woman breathed her breath. "What can I do again, Rey?"

"Isn't this your will? I'm releasing you from this fucking marriage trap?"

"I've told you, if you still want to stick with me please. I have no problem" Reynald said.

Reynald took a breath. "I asked if this is what you really want?"

"You know the answer, Rey! You knew! This is not what I want! But I'm tired...."

"I have no problem fighting for someone who loves me. But it's not good to fight for people to love me! Do you understand? There's a big difference in this!"

Reynald rubbed his face.

"I think we have a very strong relationship, so I'm very confident leaving you first and sure you will always be faithful waiting for me. But I was wrong..."

"Then after Jessy was among us, I thought our relationship could come back strong and Jessy was the reason to keep us back. But I was wrong again... You've been by my side for years, Rey. I have your body, but not your heart. And it makes me very tired. Surviving a fragile relationship is painful"

Clara laughed incessantly but her hands quickly wiped away the tears that had escaped to her cheeks. Clara stood up to Reynald. He grabbed Reynald's hand and clasped it tightly.

"I'm sorry for ruining our relationship with my stupid act, Rey. I always cursed myself if I did not go from you, surely until now you still give an abundance of love for me. You must still treat me as the only precious woman..."

Clara sobbed after being unable to withstand the violent waves of emotions in her heart. Reynald grabbed Clara's body into his arms. Reynald's mouth was tightly clenched. He tried to plumb his own heart. Searching, digging up to scavenge the taste pieces that once existed for the mother of her child. The woman who has been her heart for years. But nil, Reynald no longer feel the sparks that can make the taste back blazing in the heart.

Reynald held out his embrace and rubbed Clara's face gently. "You should be happy, Clara. Find your happiness out there"

"What about Jessy?" Clara slowly. He took a deep breath trying to control his emotions.

"It should be that a child of Jessy's age would definitely be under your care, but given your work....."

"Yes.. Yep.. I get it, Rey" Cut Clara fast.

"I've always left Jessy to shoot and she's more with you. I got it"

"I'll see him every week to your place".

Reynald nodded. "Hopefully he'll understand"

"Regarding the claims of the property you've listed in the lawsuit..."

"Why? Do you mind?" Clara's Refutation.

"No.. I was just thinking if it was appropriate to replace your wasted 5 years of marriage with me:

"more.. You gave birth to my daughter. So I figured... You deserve 2 to 3 times the amount you demand in a lawsuit".

Clara froze in silence. He even filed 100 billion in the first lawsuit that has been filed by the court. And now what is this? Reynals instead asked him to raise it up to 2-3 times!

"You make me feel like I'm selling my body for you"

Reynald frowned. "Selling your body how? In 5 years of marriage we never slept together. I never touched you"

"I just want to make up for your time, your energy, your wasted feelings just for a guy like me, Clara. So call your lawyer and renew your lawsuit in court. I'll voluntarily approve".
