The Contract Wife of the Cruel Master
Chapter 28
“There has been a great blasting in the South of the Pine forest. The blast left five people dead and some seriously injured, with no known cause. Police teams are identifying any evidence of the burning of the hut. Known, the hut is an illegal weapons hideout traded on the black market, this news was revealed when the police team opened a large crate containing weapons in the basement-”
The middle-aged man turned off his big television. He let out a rough sigh, his eyes constantly staring at his wife who was busy with that square thing. For a moment he was jealous of the thing that was more noticed by his woman, if there was no risk that the man wanted to destroy the object that took the attention of his woman.
“Honey already, they have all been arrested by the police anyway the identity of the man will soon be revealed,” he said lethargic while taking the tab in the hands of his wife.
The woman glared in annoyance, then she took another tab of hers. “Stop childish Ken, you're old, you don't need to be jealous of this smart thing.” The woman returned to her activities.
The man sighed patiently, having the wife of a Detective was not happy. The time is divided to investigate case by case every day, especially cases involving explosions several years ago.
“You are sharing enough time for me honey, watching you continue with that thing makes me envious of him,” he said dramatizing.
The woman raised her tab, then slammed it on the floor. The man jumped in shock at his wife's behavior, did he mispronounce? His smile was engraved as the woman stretched her hand out to him and the man immediately entered his woman's embrace.
“Sorry, I was too busy to forget you!” however she was her husband, she had an obligation to serve him. The cases were not as important as her husband, she who was always there for him, and she who had always been a protector to him.
With a smile the man hugged his woman tightly, already counted one Sunday they did not meet. The longing among them was so domineering, the embrace seemed to channel every yearning of their feelings.
“No problem, I'm glad you still remember me. Sometimes I think you forget me and turn to that shitty square thing, I'm really jealous to see you continue with him,” fights that guy while pursing his lips.
The woman smiled warmly, at the age that was about to enter the four heads her husband was still acting spoiled towards her, but it was fine because it was the spice of the harmony of their relationship. “You are old! It's not worth it if you're jealous of inanimate objects, you're like a child.”
“If I'm with you I'll look different, you don't know me outside. Look at our son, that's the reflection of me on the outside, even more than him.” Yes, his son was not even comparable to his old ruffianship, but now he had become a better person.
“You can even fuck another woman in front of my eyes!”
“Stop to remember it honey! Your words make me feel guilty for you, I used to be so inappropriate for a husband to be called by a woman as sincere as you.” His past is the darkest story of his life.
Memory is so taboo in his mind, it always comes to mind considering the events that concern the problem. “I'll forget it relax, you don't have to worry.”
“See, Mio Amore!”

“About kidnap twelve years ago, I'm sure you know something about that incident.”
Anna shook her head quickly, Anna did not want to remember him anymore even though Leon urged her. “I don't know Leon!”
“Lo lied, you are a native of Barcelona, it makes no sense that you do not know the incident.” Leon urged Anna to answer his question.
Anna had to do what now, and why was she suddenly asking that. Was Leon also the victim of the kidnapping?
Leon squinted his eyes, from the gurgle of Anna alone had made Leon suspicious. Leon just wants to prove his conjecture, Leon wants to know if Anna is really his Princess. “Lo does not lie, right?”
Anna lowered her head, then shook her head. “No Leon, I dare swear!”
“Don't swear Annabeth if you break that vow yourself, I know about lo's necklace. That necklace doesn't belong to your stepmother, does it? but lo?”'s ask Leon who got Anna stuck.
“Sister?”
“Yes, Hamara's mother is your stepmother, right? I know everything Anna. Now I ask you to be honest with me, from whom do you get the necklace?” ask Leon.
“Why are you so curious about that necklace Leon?” ask Anna. “Who is the giver and owner of the necklace, it's none of your business.”
Leon clenched his hands, the necklace meant a lot to him. The necklace was a sign of love for her Princess, the necklace was very valuable to Leon let alone the thing that was given by his Grandmother.
“Obviously it's my business! I need to know who the owner and giver of lo necklace is!” pressing Leon on Anna makes Anna rewind her body.
“Stop arguing Leon, you're sick, you need rest.” Anna deliberately shifted the direction of their conversation. Anna doesn't want everything to be uncovered let alone Leon just.
Leon smiled cynically, Leon knew Anna's intentions very well, and it made him even more curious. “My physical pain is not worth my heart, Annabeth. I need your explanation of the necklace, I beg.”
Anna doesn't really understand Leon's intentions, Anna doesn't know why Leon is curious about his necklace. Does Leon have a past related to this necklace? Anna is increasingly confused, her necklace is a piece of her past story. Anna did not want to bring it up again, let alone go back to recalling all the memories about them in every place.
“The necklace is mine, Mama gave it to me before she died a few years ago. I saved it to treat my longing for Mama,” explained Anna lying. Thousands of apologies Anna said in her heart, Anna is really sorry for lying let alone carrying her Mama's name.
Leon as if dropped by his expectations, it turned out that it was not as expected, Leon breathed a sigh of relief at Anna's explanation, at least he was not curious anymore about the necklace. “Gue mourns the passing of Mama lo.”
Anna simply nodded in response. One side that makes Leon suspicious is Anna, Anna's body's reaction seems different from the reality of his words. Is this just Leon's feeling? but, Leon was sure to be right if his premonition was never wrong. Why is this matter so mysterious? Leon only wants to know the truth of his Princess, if the Princess is still alive then Leon will prostrate under his feet to apologize profusely. His mistake was not comparable to the sincerity of his little girl, she was both a Doctor as well as a medicine that healed both his heart and physical wounds.
“Mama lo died because of what?” leon asked curiously, for some reason he became curious about Anna's family.
Anna looked down sad, again Anna had to remember the incident again. It was a most painful history for him, the cry of his mother calling his name still remembered today. Her mother's words and every wish she spoke were still neatly stored in her brain. “Accident!”
Accident, but not an ordinary accident. An accident that killed thousands of lives.
Leon stroked Anna's hand, then he pulled Anna in his arms. “Sorry, because of my curiosity, you are sad.”
Anna nodded while wiping away her tears, it was so painful to see the disaster happen before her own eyes.
