The Love of the Deceiver
Chapter 18 - Answering All the Tudings
The next day, when Darwin came to Mitha's boarding house. The woman asked, "Why did you come to Nadine?"
"Where do you know I met Nadine?"
"Yesterday afternoon Dito helped me find the nearest workshop, he told me everything."
Darwin laughed a little.
"You're sorry you broke up with Nadine?"
"No, I just want to destroy Dito."
"You can't destroy Dito" Mitha said.
"Is it because she's Mahesa Kay's granddaughter?"
"He'll destroy us, if we dare to mess around!"
"I don't care, you hate Nadine, do you?"
"Yes." Yeah."
"We have to make them break. His second marriage will not take place" Darwin said with a grudge.
"But how?"
"We trap them!"
"All right, I'm in your game!"

By noon, photos of Nadine and Dito together again circulated. This time it appeared in an online media.
Leon who got the information from Troy was so angry. He then called his son.
Didn't wait long Dito was present in his papa's study. "What's calling me, Pa?"
"You see this!"
Dito rounded his eyes when the picture of himself and his future wife in bed was clearly displayed. "I know who spread this, Pa!"
"You said he wouldn't spread this!" said Leon.
"He made a promise to Nadine's family, too, Pa."
"You'll be blasphemed by everyone, son!"
"It's better that Mr. Dito and Miss Nadine do a press conference instead" Troy suggested.
"Yes, right. I don't care what people say, Pa."
"Try talking to Nadine" Leon said.
"Yes, Pa."
"Troy, prepare the place of my son and future son-in-law for the press conference!" his orders to his assistant.
"Good, Sir."
From his office Dito immediately met his future wife at his home.
As soon as he arrived, Dito went into the house of his future father-in-law. Nadine and Rita sat with faces thinking of something.
"Dito!" greet Malik.
"Do you know the news?" ask Dito.
"Yes, we already know" Malik replied.
"What should we do?" nadine asked her future husband.
"We're going to have a press conference" Dito replied.
"I'm afraid they'll blaspheme me" Nadine said.
"I will always be in front of you and they must not insult or blaspheme you!" Dito convinced his future wife.
After coming from the house of his future father-in-law, Dito along with Nadine went to a cafe.
There the reporters have been waiting for the two to testify.
Nadine chose silence and Dito answered the question on the pitch to them.
"Is it true that you've been having an affair and finally got married?"
"Before we have not been legally bound to others, so there is no such thing as infidelity. My future wife's relationship status used to be someone else's fiancee. Remember, not officially married."
"Is it true that you alone caused Miss Nadine to decide to end her engagement to Mr. Darwin Adra?"
"Then you guys were in a relationship secretly?"
"No, we were friends at first. Because Nadine also has no engagement with others. Then the two parents set us up."
"Your match because of that photo, is it true?"
"That's not true, we agree with the matchmaking that both parents did. That photo is slander. They want to drop my good name and future wife."
"Defamation? But you two go to bed?"
"What was the scene of the two beds in a drama also because of the affair?"
"Why are you in the same hotel room?"
"My future wife was framed, someone wanted to take advantage of the situation."
"Who set him up?"
"Do you know who first shared the photo?" Dito asked back.
Journalists looked confused.
"Can't prove it, can you? Why does he have a picture of us both? That means he's in a hotel room too."
The reporters looked at each other and started thinking.
"If we're cheating, why bring someone else into the room?" ask Dito.
"Does Miss Nadine have enemies?"
"We don't know" Dito replied.
"Does Mr Darwin have anything to do with the scattered photos?"
"That I don't know, and one more thing. We have also taken photos like this before. They're asking for a ransom amount of money, I can give you witnesses."
"Who's the witness, sir?"
"Nadine's parents both."
"So who's behind this slander?"
"I don't know, surely our relationship isn't what's going on."
"Sir, tell us who's the mastermind?"
"I'm sorry, I can't tell him. " Dito and Nadine immediately stood up.
With strict guard the two lovers entered the car.
Inside the four-wheeled luxury vehicle, Dito clenched his hands. "I'm going to teach you a little lesson so as not to touch my affairs" he said.
"What should we do?"
Dito turned his head and looked at his future wife, "Nothing, let this matter be me. You just need to focus on our preparations."
Nadine assented.

That night, Darwin met his parents. The hard slap again landed on the young man's cheek.
"How many times has Papa said never to disturb Leon Mahesa Aksa's family?"
"I hate him so much, Pa!"
"hate? You said hate! You put him in Nadine's life. Now you're sorry, right?" ask Perrie loudly.
"I don't regret breaking up with Nadine, but because Pradito Mahesa ruined my career!"
"All because of your fault! You framed Nadine and Dito, but you accused them yourself!"
"Pa, enough. Poor Darwin!" Selly hugged her husband's arm.
"He's an adult, Ma. You should be able to think, not just his wishes!" perrie.
"Pity Darwin, Pa!" selly.
"You feel sorry for him? But he never thinks of us who should bear the shame of his attitude!" Perrie said with emotion.
"Papa is not defending me" said Darwin.
"Why defend his son who made a mistake?" Perrie looked at his son.
Darwin fell silent.
"I'm sure after this Leon's family won't stay put."
