THE COLDEST SNOW'S

BABE ...

When ambition and obsession have begun to enter into every niche of the soul, it is difficult to change the thinking of what is right, what is wrong. The person will continue to look for justification in achieving everything.

Darren wants Alexa as well as position and power, no matter if he has to use sneaky ways to get all of it. Taking a child as a hostage, flashed quickly in his mind.

"Give the boy quickly!" pinta Michael's. He couldn't see how the boy kept crying, let alone Darren holding it rough.

"Don't be a hero! I know, you're just a businessman's son who can't do anything. You approached Alexa just to get a name!" shouted Darren.

"Darren!" scream Alexa.

Michael asked Alexa to calm down and not get carried away by emotions. He doesn't want Darren to make Alexa hurt.

After talking for a while, Darren pushed the child he had taken hostage, making the child run a little to the point of almost falling. Michael who saw it, quickly walked towards him to catch the boy.

Darren smiled as his plan worked. He catches Michael off guard and he immediately comes running over, not to take the boy back, but he will make calculations with Michael that have prevented him from getting Alexa.

Setttt ....

"Mica!" alexa shouted a little further away from Michael because the man did not allow her to approach.

Michael catches the boy's body and asks to run to Alexa. Michael is aware of the tactics used by Darren when he sees Darren running towards him.

"I won't let you touch me!" murmured Michael who immediately turned around and kicked Darren's hand which was holding a knife.

"Are you able to fight?" Darren was mocking the man before him.

The two men faced each other. Alexa was a little scared because she knew that Darren mastered martial arts. They used to practice together.

Darren who had been overpowered with his ambition instantly aimed his punch at Michael's face. However, Michael went straight sideways and took Darren's arm and twisted it backwards.

Darren pulled back his hand and wanted to slam Michael forward. Their same height and size, of course, made it difficult for Darren. It turns out he misjudged Michael.

Michael immediately kicked the back of both of Darren's knees and made the man kneel, keeping both of the man's arms back. Michael's face approached Darren, "Don't take me lightly. You don't know me very well."

Bughh

Darren moved his head backwards, pitting it against Michael's head, making Michael's grip on him slip. He immediately returned his punch to Michael's stomach.

Alexa who saw Michael's temples bleed began to want to go forward and help. He knows that Michael is not Darren's opponent, who has a black belt.

"Bas on a weak man!" shouted Darren.

Michael began to squint his eyes. He cannot say weak. Darren who had clenched his hand earlier and directed a punch to his stomach was immediately avoided. Michael, who turned his back to Darren, struck Darren with his elbow, then turned around and hit Darren's stomach with his knee.

Darren fell down and Michael was now on top of him, aiming a punch at his face. But he did not continue because he saw that Darren was helpless.

"We're okay?" ask Alexa. He saw Michael's temple bleeding.

"It's just a small wound" replied Michael smiling.

"Since when have you been able to defend yourself?" ask Alexa again.

"Since I was a child."

Michael looks ordinary, not a man who can defend himself. But Alexa was amazed by the ability she had just seen it. The man never even tried to show it. He only expends his ability when it is really needed.

"I don't want to be a weak man like he said" Michael said, pointing to Darren, "Trust me, that I can protect you, even if you can also defend yourself."

Alexa smiled, then invited Michael to go home. They'll see Miss Listy tomorrow again. Alexa has also asked the restaurant manager to contact the police, so that Darren is immediately arrested for committing acts of violence and threats.

*****

Alexa and Michael's engagement was held at a Williams Hotel. The event was attended by families as well as business associates from both families.

"There was no hugging" Michael said.

"Thank you for once, Al. I used to be free to hold you, why can't I now?" giorgio was upset.

"Hello, Al," said Giovan.

"Hello, sister," Alexa hugged Giovan, making Giorgio who had noticed earlier was irritated.

"Sister Giovan can? I didn't! It's not fair" Giorgio grumbled.

"You should immediately find your own lover, so you can hug him," said Lynn.

"Ahhh, have a boyfriend if only his job is ngelarang this ngarang it, ogah!" giorgio said again.

"Congratulations, Mic. I can't believe that your partner is Alexa" Giovan said.

"Are you jealous, hmm? Didn't you like Alexa? Now it's even your sister-in-law" whispered Lynn. Giovan knows very well that Lynn is currently jealous of her tone.

"I love you" whispered Giovan in Lynn's ear, lest his wife start a war with him.

"Thank you" Mic shook Giovan's hand.

The engagement event went well. All the guests were happy to see the compatibility of the two. Dad Azka also announced that the wedding will be held in about 3 months.

"Congratulations, Miss."

Alexa's eyes were rounded when she saw the presence of James and Claudia at her engagement event.

"You guys coming?"

"Of course, Miss. We're not gonna miss your engagement day."

Unlike Alexa who continues to smile when the arrival of James and Claudia, Michael actually put on a vigilant attitude. He looked at James with a difficult gaze to decipher.

"I would like to congratulate you on your engagement, Mr. Michael," James said, hand-picking.

Alexa slightly understood Michael's gaze and she needed to explain everything, "James and Claudia are a couple. You see Claudia's stomach? They are waiting for the birth of their baby."

"Then ...?"

"I'm Miss Alexa's personal assistant at Alpenze Coorp in London" James said.

"And I'm his secretary" Claudia continued.

Michael finally realized his misunderstanding. He had time to judge Alexa bad when they were still in the city of Erskine.

"Darling ..."

Alexa immediately turned her head when for the first time Michael called her affectionate.

"Will you forgive me? I once thought badly of you. I ...," Michael stopped his speech when Alexa placed her index finger on Michael's lips.

"Don't continue. Aren't we going to start our new lives soon? Don't remember the old thing again, hmm ..."

Michael grabbed Alexa's index finger on his lips, then kissed the back of the hand of the woman who is now his fiancee, his future wife. He grabbed Alexa's waist with one hand and brought the woman's body closer to him.

"You know, every day I love you more."
