Substitute Mother
Chapters 143. Flashback
The day has changed.
Since returning from the hospital, Judith still lives at Mark's house to accompany Aera to live her daily life. Without Jeanno's knowledge. If the man returns from the office, Judith will hide in his room until Jeanno returns home. Fortunately Aera did not tell her papa about Judith's presence.
Regarding the rest of Jeanno's money, to be honest Judith still hasn't found a way. Mark had offered to lend him money many times, but Judith refused for various reasons. As Jeanno last said, don't borrow Mark Sebastian. Don't know what made Jeanno say that, but Judith didn't dare to break it.
Johnny's calling…
Realizing from his daydream, Judith grabbed a cell phone and was astonished to see the former Victoire manager's number on the flat object's screen.
“What's up, Johnny?”
“Hey. sorry to interrupt your time, Judith. But there's something I want to tell you. Can we meet?”
**
The match was won by Ethan. Make his friends cheer triumphantly. Here, as the losing side Arjuna did not look sad at all. Instead his face is blushing, just as bright as Ethan who came out as a winner.
*
“According to the agreement, because I lost then.” Arjuna took off his helmet, then pulled Nayara's arm roughly. “This girl is yours”
*
The cheers were again heard, while Ethan, who was much taller than Arjuna, stepped closer to Nayara with a horrifying look. The woman revolted from the clutches of Arjuna's hands, but her strength was not much.
*
Not until Ethan grabs Nayara, police sirens are heard from the end of the road. Making the crowd suddenly disperse, choosing to save themselves. When Ethan was about to snatch Nayara's body to go with him, the girl kicked Ethan's shins faster and ran as hard as she could. Ethan wants to chase after her, but one of his friends has already pulled her away as the siren gets closer. Panic-stricken Arjuna also chose to flee.
*
Nayara ran as hard as she could without looking back. All he knew was that he had been framed and had to run as far away from Arjuna and the strangers as possible. Not knowing how long it had been running, Nayara's leg strength had already diminished. His running speed began to thin, coinciding with a car stopping before him.
*
Initially Nayara wanted to run away again, but as soon as he saw Henry and Jeanno who came out of the car, his tears broke.
*
**
A little flashback, after getting the news that Nayara was used as a betting material, Henry immediately drove his car, while contacting Jeanno to ask where Nayara is now. After believing that Nayara was not with him, Henry then told about the message he received. In short, the two immediately rushed to the location after contacting the police, thanks to uncle Henry who has a high rank in the police so they immediately sent many officers to hold a wild racing raid.
*
Both Henry and Jeanno knew that wild racing was once part of their hobby when it was saturated. But the two friends had long since stopped, leaving Andy and Arjuna. While Arjuna's opponent on the racing field, is Ethan. The head of the Zeroes motorcycle gang. A pretty famous motorcycle. Ethan is also known as a hard, scary and cruel person. He once languished in juvenile prison for taking the lives of enemies during the brawl of the old school days. Many want to defeat Ethan on the streets, but the man is only willing to compete with the lure of the prize.
*
If Henry and Jeanno arrive late, it will be difficult for Jeanno to bring Nayara back.
“Arjuna escaped. Andy also could not be contacted”
*
*
“Do you think only Arjuna?”
*
Henry raised his shoulders. Actually he suspected the other two names, but decided to keep it to himself until he could prove his suspicions were true.
**
In a minimalist yet cozy cafe, Judith sits opposite Johnny. The tall man had waited before Judith arrived.
“How are you?”
A simple question that Judith herself was confused about what to answer. He's not doing well, but he's reluctant if the answer prompts another question for Johnny.
“Good. You you? I didn't hear from you after Victoire finished”
Judith did not lie when she said that. Ever since Victoire went bankrupt and Louis was deported, Johnny seemed to disappear into the earth.
“I'm fine”
“The reason you met me, I'm guessing isn't just to ask you for news, right?”
Johnny cleared his throat. “I don't know if you need it or not, but I want to invite you to join”
“Join?”
“Victoire has reopened. With new management, new concept and new owner”
It took a few seconds for Judith to digest Johnny's offer. “So you mean..someone bought Victoire?”
“If you want to join, I'll accept with open arms” Johnny heeds Judith's previous questions.
His opponent chuckled lightly. “Sorry, Johnny. If you ask me to join you to be a woman the other night, then I refuse. I've stopped. I don't want to go back there again”
Johnny looked at her for a long time. The man's expression was flat, his gaze was like that too. I don't know what was on his mind, before he nodded faintly.
“You can contact me if you change your mind”
Judith smiled sadly. He is in need of money, and the fastest way to raise enough money in a short time is to cut the road. Back to his old world. But Judith refused. He is no longer the old Anata Judith, who is willing to open his legs wide to cover tens of millions of dollars. No. gabe.
“Couple sure I won't call you”
Johnny only smiled faintly as Judith withdrew. The man was not disappointed, for somehow he was sure Judith would join. Threw a cell phone out of a jacket pocket, to bring it to someone's call across.
“He still doesn't want to join”
**
Ethan had never felt this far with a woman before. When Sharin and Andy meet him and say that Arjuna wants to compete, Ethan asks what he will put. Then they answered the women. Ethan just laughed so hard. Because all this time he can get any woman without having to fight on the streets. Still remembered how confident Andy said that he would not regret the woman Arjuna brought. Ethan decides to accept their offer.
*
And true indeed, the woman that Arjuna brought was very different from the women he met mostly. Her clothes were covered and there was no fancy makeup on her sweet face. Instead, increasing his passion to imagine how obedient if he could bring the girl to bed.
*
That's where Ethan is determined to win. He, who knew Arjuna's ability, felt that the young man was holding his gas and deliberately allowing himself to win. I don't know what, Ethan doesn't care either. Because what he has thought since then is that he will bring ‘piala’ his victory, which is the innocent woman.
*
Well, indeed all those beautiful shadows failed because of the arrival of the police. But it's okay, Ethan won't stop looking for that woman.
