Irene further accelerated her pace. He ignored Axelle and Zaky who followed him from behind. Calling his name over and over again.
All he had in mind right now was to stay away. It even wants to feel like he disappeared this second also for eternity.
Now, everyone is sneering at her as a cheap woman, a shameless woman, a self-respecting woman, and other sneers that drop her pride as a woman.
If only he had thought more about it, and did not accept this marriage charade offer, maybe none of this would have happened. Maybe at this time he can live quietly even with a mediocre economy.
"Mrs ... Irene ..." Call Axelle while continuing to try to follow the steps of Irene who immediately left Galery.
"Irene ... Please don't come out of Galery. There may be a lot of reporters ahead." Shouted Zaky to stop Irene.
But Irene ignored him. He even accelerated his pace. Half ran to reach Galery's main door.
At the door, his steps stopped. Because in front of Galery there are so many reporters, reporters, waiting for their arrival to provide clarification. Luckily, the two guards did not allow the reporters to enter Galery.
Axelle and Zaky rushed over. With a sigh of consternation because he had to run to chase after Irene. Before long, Boni came over and showed me another news that suddenly appeared and immediately spread so quickly.
"Boss ... Photos of Bos and Miss Clarissa's intimacy have been scattered Bosses. There's even a video of it." Said Boni while thrusting his phone into Axelle's hand.
Axelle saw it. His anger was rising to the crown. Besides Clarissa who else keeps their photos and videos. Not wrong, maybe this was all Clarissa.
"Miss Clarissa has given her clarification. He said his phone was stolen. And the pictures said he wasn't the one who spread them." Said Boni again.
"Omong empty." Axelle was upset half to death.
"Axelle, you better hang in here for a second, until those reporters leave." Zaky's Proposal.
"It's all because of you, too."
"How many times have I told you, you misunderstood Axelle. How could I have leaked you both a secret." From the looks of it, it seems like Zaky is reluctant to tell that Axelle and Irene's marriage is a legitimate marriage. I don't know what happened to Zaky. Does he want to take advantage of this situation?
Irene was still standing pecking with tears. No longer know what to do. No longer know what to say. Everything happened too fast. Unexpectedly.
"Mrs ..." Axelle approached, and tried to grab Irene's fingers into his grasp.
"I'm sorry." Lirih.
Irene wiped her tears. Axelle looked at. Then his gaze rolled on Zaky who was also looking at him.
"It's all my fault, too. I accepted this marriage charade offer for the sake of the parlour." Irene said softly.
"If people really want us to separate, yes, we will. Let's split up." Added. Axelle was shocked to hear it.
"Are you crazy, Ren. I told you, I don't care about my reputation and career. I just want us to stay together. And don't forget about your current condition. You're pregnant Ren. You want our baby to be born without a father?"
Hearing Axelle's words, Zaky was stunned. Same thing with Boni. There was another secret they had just learned about Irene and Axelle. Their relationship has come that far. Even until Irene was pregnant now. Then how should Zaky? Should he just be honest?
"Axelle, what did you say? I_Irene is pregnant?" Zaky's eyes stared in disbelief at Axelle and Irene. What Clarissa said was true.
"Yes. That is why I want to marry her legally according to law and religion. I told you once, Our relationship isn't a joke anymore." Axelle said bluntly.
Zaky could only stumble. Time and time again he wastes his rough breathing. Even rubbed his face in anger. His mind floated, returning to a moment ago.
.
A few hours earlier.
Early in the morning, Clarissa came to see him at his apartment unit. Clarissa offered him a deal. But he was very reluctant to respond to Clarissa's offer.
"I just want to get back what I want. And you can get Irene. I will no longer force my feelings on you. I won't bother you anymore. I just want to, Axelle back to me. And bend my knees in front of me, just like before. How's it?" Clarissa said at the time.
Zaky hasn't given her response yet. He was still silent. Think of Clarissa's offer well with a cool head. As he weighed in, what profit could he get from this deal.
"The game on baby ... I know you really like that village girl. I will not cross the line. I know which ones should come to the surface, and which ones should not.
It will be very chaotic at first. People will never stop talking about this. But over time, people will just forget about it. And after that, you can live quietly with the village girl. That's if you get it." Clarissa said at length. For the sake of shaking Zaky's stance.
Zaky was still silent. Looking straight out the window. Think carefully about Clarissa's offer.
The snake woman invites him to work together to separate Axelle and Irene. Clarissa knows that Zaky loves Irene. To that end, Clarissa took advantage of it to retake Axelle. To avenge his heartache. And Zaky was the only person he could use to achieve his wish.
But Clarissa has no idea that Zaky is keeping another secret about Axelle and Irene. Facts about their marriage.
"It won't be long. At best for only a few months. After that, everything will return to normal as before. Don't be so scared. After all, Axelle was just the child of your father's affair. What do you love him for.
He's just the son of the unlucky bearer in your family. Her mother was the source of your mother's suffering. Did you forget about that?" Clarissa was still trying to provoke Zaky. As much as possible he wants to change Zaky's feelings for Axelle. He wants Zaky to hate Axelle. Axelle had no one else. Then he could easily get back to Axelle.
"But ..." Zaky still hesitated.
"Not be afraid. Trust me, everything will be back to how it was. I'm gonna live quietly with Axelle. And you can get Irene. How's it?"
Zaky's still dumbstruck. Think carefully about Clarissa's offer.
"Rpa ... Mr. Zaky ..." Samar Zaky heard Boni's call. His mind was still floating everywhere. Until he did not realize Boni was patting his shoulders slowly. Trying to wake him from his daydream.
"Mr Zaky ..." Call Boni again with a high voice. With a louder pat.
As a result, Zaky was shocked. The daydreams were gone for a moment. His eyes were now staring intently at Boni.
"What's wrong?" Ketus.
"The outside is getting messy. All the press want to come in. They wanted to ask for clarification from Boss Axe and Irene. They won't leave before getting clarification."
"Let me go out. Let me explain everything. Boni, take Irene inside." Axelle. And to get out the main door of Galery. Where there have been many journalists and reporters.
"Axelle, wait." Zaky stopped Axelle's steps. Axelle turned his head, looking at Zaky who was walking closer.
"Let me give you a clarification. You take Irene inside. Let me solve this problem." Added.
Axelle smiled obliquely. "Are you sure you can handle this?" Axelle doubts Zaky. I don't know why.
Zaky nodded. "Trust me."

While in her room, Olivia seemed to be sitting pensively. Thinking about the problems that suddenly hit. Not thinking about his loss. He thought more about Irene.
He just did not expect, an innocent girl like Irene dared to do such an immoral thing. What is the material question that prompted him to do such shameful deeds? He really can't believe it. Honestly, he was very disappointed with Irene.
"Mrs Olive ..." Call Shelly shirih.
"What's Shell?"
"I'm sorry."
"Well, what did you do wrong?"
"Before, I proposed to recruit Irene into our brand model. To be honest, I also did not expect, it turned out that Irene was such a girl. I'm sorry Miss Olive."
"It's okay Shell. It's not entirely your fault."
Ranti who heard their conversation from the other side finally approached.
"Liv ..." Call Ranti.
Olivia turned her eyes to Ranti.
"What's Ran?"
"If I may give you some advice, you better not be too quick to draw conclusions about Axelle and Irene. They may have a reason why they're doing this." Ranti said carefully.
"You mean?"
"There could be someone trying to bring them down. Because of envy or hurt maybe."
Olivia seemed to take a deep breath.
"Actually ... There's something about Axelle that you don't know." Ranti said again. Olivia looked at him curiously.
"Oh yeah? What'sthat?"
