The Contract Wife of the Cruel Master
Chapter 22
“It's got me Leon, Mother who gave it to me, I dare swear!” lie to Anna with a quivering voice, let it be her secret. It was free that he told Leon, Leon would not know the man, Anna did not want to honestly eat there would be a quarrel.
Leon is furious with Anna who keeps his head down, Leon does not like to be ignored. “Geek me Annabeth! I asked again, who is this? If this is your mother's, where do you get it?” leon asked under pressure.
Anna grimaced softly as she held Leon's hand which gripped her chin. “From Dad as a wedding dowry, I didn't lie Leon!” Anna will accept any consequences for her lies. Their story is only the past, for what is being re-leashed because it will only open old wounds.
Leon took off his rough grip, his chest rising up and down as his hunting breath. Leon hesitated with Anna's answer, especially when he said Anna's eyes did not look at him. Doubt enveloped Leon, Leon was made dizzy with this thing. Leon must find out for himself without Anna's knowledge, because this truth is very important between believing it or not.
Her Princess' death hit her life so hard. Death is what makes Leon hesitant to believe if the Princess is still alive, if indeed the Princess is still alive why not come to him. Was he angry that he had broken his promise?
“Argh!” shouting Leon. His accident made him forget his Princess, Leon lost his memory for ten years, for that's when he came to meet his little girl he was no longer there.
“You why Leon? What really happened, why do you seem to expect something that Leon did not deliver?” ask Anna streak. Really, Anna was made curious by Leon's question about her necklace.
“Shut!”
Leon's impact made Anna speechless. Anna was just curious, but Leon snapped at her. Anna took a few steps back from Leon, so what happened until Leon was curious about the necklace, did Leon know anything about it? Anna is confused as to how. Anna had never seen Leon like this, her condition was like being disappointed by something, and she was extremely fragile if researched.
“You sick?” anna asked who saw Leon holding his head.
Leon looked up at Anna. “Gue is sick because lo, the beginning of my illness is after the presence of lo. Princess I'm angry because of the existence of lo, I want to lo cepet-cepet go of my life.” Because that was how Leon felt, since Anna was present, her Princess rarely came into her dreams.
Be aware, someone will stop coming after he is by your side! Don't be a fool with just a bitter memory.
Yes, his presence is not expected as well as those who are always after him. Anna just looks down sad, is that as painful as it is when our presence is not accepted? Why should Anna feel this pain, she is quite weak with liver problems.
“I'll go Leon, without you asking I'll be gone from your life. Our contract is about to expire, we're going our separate ways, and there won't be another Anna interrupting your life Leon.” Anna clenched her hand enduring the pain in the recesses of her heart. This little heart aches when it says it, and this little heart is traumatized by a separation.
The farewell that Leon hoped for was getting closer, somehow it felt like it was hurting as that time drew near. Just counting the months then that time will happen, whether this separation will be as painful as yesterday.
“Yes! Because your presence is enough for me to get hurt, I wait for that time to arrive.”
Leon's mood is not okay, plus the case of Anna's necklace. The necklace was exactly like the necklace she had given her to her little girl, the feature of the necklace was the same as hers. Is Anna hiding something from him? Does Anna know about her Princess? Who is Anna, who is she to have the same item as her Princess? Many questions in Leon's mind about Anna, this problem must be solved, Leon is increasingly curious about the necklace.
“Gue wait seven o'clock.” Brief, dense, mean, that's what a Leon is like.
At exactly 08:00 pm the Cenze family was in a magnificent restaurant in Italy. It looks like Lyssa and Kendrick are also sitting at their table, not to forget Isha who is also there. Leon clasped Anna's hand tightly. As per her orders, Anna must obey whatever Leon says and Anna must pretend if their marriage is okay.
“Anna, here dear.” Lyssa grabs Anna's hand, then takes her sitting next to her.
Leon follows Anna and sits next to her Papa, Leon looks at Lyssa who is so enthusiastic when he meets Anna. In Leon's heart grieving to see Anna's behavior that he thought was hypocritical, it was fitting that his mother to match him with Anna turned out to be Anna as great as that in the drama.
“How are you, baby? Did Leon do you any harm?” ask Lyssa to worry. Lyssa can feel what it feels like to be betrothed, she and her husband are equally betrothed, but they are able to go through the problems to become a harmonious family.
Anna glanced at Leon for a moment, looking at Leon who seemed to code through his eyes made Anna understand. “Yes! Leon is very kind, he is not at all rude to me.”
Lyssa squinted her eyes then sighed softly, Lyssa knew Anna was lying. Lyssa believes their marriage is not okay, Lyssa tilts her head and whispers. “Mama knows the condition of your marriage Anna, hang on! Mama is sure you can pass it for the sake of those who fight for you.”
Anna nodded small. “I will survive for Mama, I will fight.”
“Good!” Lyssa clasped Anna's hand warmly. “If Leon is naughty, just hit his head.”
“Papa is glad Leon was being nice to you. One thing you should know, Leon is very introverted with new people, so be nice to him so that the child does not become a statue.” Kendrick chuckled softly as he looked at Leon who was also looking at him sharply.
“Do not disturb the sleeping lion Zion, your son is more dangerous than that terrible animal!” reprimand Lyssa while pinching Kendrick's arm.
Leon looked bright with a smile while looking down at Kendrick. “Loser!”
“Leon, it's been a long time since you came to my house again after your cousin's arrival. When will you come back to my house, Papa often asks you.” Isha moved to sit next to Leon.
Anna stared alternately at Leon and Isha, they looked harmonious, Anna admitted that. It seems that Anna is indeed a bully in their relationship, especially her Princess Leon.
“Sepupu?” asked Lyssa looking at Leon sharply. Lyssa was about to protest, but Anna held her back.
Leon just fell silent reluctant to criticize his mother who did not accept, this relationship is enough his family and himself who knows. Leon doesn't want any misunderstandings let alone Isha.
“Paution!” their attention turned to the stage, there was already Kenzo who was holding his guitar to sing.
Anna sees it shocked by Kenzo's whereabouts, Anna fears Kenzo is suspicious of her relationship and Leon, Anna doesn't want any trouble between the two of them. “Kenzo?”
“I'll bring you a special song for the girl I love.” Kenzo looked at Anna inside from there, his gaze as if radiating hope there. Anna's shady gaze was always opium for Kenzo to enjoy, hazel eyes were her favorite eyes that became the object of her love for Anna.
While Leon, Leon growled annoyed to see Kenzo who seemed to seek Anna's attention. Leon glanced at Anna who was looking at Kenzo, Leon clenched his hands tightly, this scene was very hot. “Caper!”
Kenzo began strumming his guitar as the music followed him, his eyes closed and then opened again. His gaze was always on Anna who looked beautiful tonight.
“Why do birds suddenly appeared
Every time you are near?
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you.”
Kenzo sang a song called Close to You. This song has the meaning to convey feelings to someone, this song is very fitting to represent Kenzo's feelings for Anna.
“Why do stars fall down from the sky
Every time you walk by?
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you.”
Everyone applauded enjoying the song that Kenzo was singing, including Anna. Anna noticed that Kenzo was still faithfully looking at her earlier, but the feeling was different from the hidden feeling she wanted to finish immediately. Anna smiled at Kenzo, then Anna gave her two thumbs up at Kenzo.
“You are cool,“ with a conditional mouth Anna tells Kenzo, Kenzo is happy to see it.
Leon can interpret the signal, Leon was made hot especially when Anna was not stopping to look at Kenzo from earlier. He was even cooler when singing, according to Leon it was too much just to seek attention.
“Enjoy Annabeth, just look after going home later.”
