The Married With The Devil

Persuading Alan

Cathy again grimaced in pain as she stared at the blue-purple mark on her shoulder through the mirror reflection. Last night, after receiving a short message from Wilson, inevitably, he had to comply with the man's request.

“Damn it!” Cathy again cursed while applying a medicated cream on the man's bite marks. Not only his shoulders, but his thighs and buttocks got the same thing.

“If it wasn't for the money, I wouldn't want to do it.” He returned the cream he had used to the nightstand drawer. Quickly, he got up from his seat after confirming that he looked perfect. Today, he wants to see Alan. The man of his heart.

“Bianca.” Bianca looked at the confused Stacy who suddenly called her name when she was about to go to the library. The girl who served as the head of the cheers team was stepping up to him. His straight silver hair, tied with a ponytail model.

“What's up?” Bianca asked as she looked at Stacy.

“For you.” Stacy said as she thrust a pink envelope at Bianca.

With hesitation, Bianca received the envelope and opened it and found a purple card that read ”Birthday Party Invitation.”

“You sure?” Bianca asked again in doubt. During this time, he and Stacy never greet each other. More precisely, it was Stacy who was always staring cynically at him. His reason? Because the girl is one of Rico's big fans.

“Of course.” Ketus answer. His light gray eyes looked at Bianca sharply.

Bianca let out a slow breath. Half unsure, he nodded slowly while looking at Stacy.

“Thanks.” Bianca cried while smiling knot. Which Stacy responded with a tart face.

“You should bring that card when you come later. If not, then you won't be allowed in.” Stacy said in a hostile tone. After staring at Bianca a glance, he immediately stepped away with a haughty gesture.

“Though if Alan allows me.” Bianca lirih. Even if he was willing to come with pleasure, but if Alan would not allow it. Then he can't do anything.

Bianca who was still staring at the invitation card from Stacy gasped in shock when she just remembered her intention to borrow a book. Quickly, he dashed towards the library before the re-entry bell rang.

***

Lily looked back at Bianca who was busy staring out of her class. The bell had just rung and the teacher in charge of teaching had not yet arrived. Even though their school has long implemented a moving class system. But not infrequently the teacher in question even arrived late. And today, he and Bianca both chose Biology.

“Bianca, what's up?” Lily asked when she was getting bored when she saw Bianca.

“There's a weird. Today, I didn't see Rico at all.” Bianca replied while looking at Lily confused.

“Remember your lover.” Lily spoke in a satirical tone. Which actually reciprocated Bianca by turning the eyeball—malas.

Bianca knows that Lily doesn't really insult her. It's just, he did feel very strange today. Rico was never absent to meet him. Talk or have lunch together. Even though he often moved classes, the man always knew what subjects he chose.

“Did you get an invitation from Stacy?” Bianca asked when she had just remembered her meeting with Stacy earlier. He just wants to make sure if the girl does not just invite herself so that he will have friends when he was there— place of the event.

“Ya.” Lily answered briefly. His finger was busy opening the page of the novel he was reading.

“You want to come?” Ask Bianca again. Back to make sure about Lily's arrival. If Lily comes, then she'll come too. And vice versa. At least, there should be one person he knew and was familiar with

“Yes. I'm gonna come. We meet there. So stop asking me and interrupt my concentration.” Lily spoke in one breath. His eyes glared in annoyance as Bianca continued to question him about things and even disturbed his pleasure of reading.

“Tsk!” Decak Bianca with pursed lips. Always like this. Even though it looks quiet, but to him, Lily is a lion who is ready to pounce at any time. Especially when his best friend is seriously reading his favorite mystery novel.

Anyone who harassed him, will be immediately pounced.

“Jimmy, can you take me to buy a dress?” Bianca immediately asked when Jimmy had just driven the car he was driving. His eyes glanced at Bianca through the deep rearview mirror.

“Gaun? Doesn't Miss already have a lot?” Jimmy asked with a confused look. As he recalled, Alan had already bought a lot of dresses for Bianca. Because he is in charge of taking care of and paying all his bills.

“Err ... this time I want to wear a simple dress.” Bianca replied with a big smile.

During her time at school, she had intended to buy a simple dress that she would wear when attending Stacy's birthday party. Not that she did not like it, but all the dresses that Alan bought for her were too expensive and she also did not want to attract the attention of many people. Not the day that was supposed to be special for Stacy.

“Good, Miss.” Jimmy said as he drove a car to one of the shopping centers located in the southern part of Washington DC.

***

Bianca could only stare at Jimmy with her mouth open when the man instead took her to L’Fourth Plaza—, an elite shopping mall. Though he had clearly told Jimmy if he only wanted to buy a simple dress.

After a rough sigh, Bianca immediately pulled Jimmy's hand away from the place and headed towards one of the women's clothing stores she had accidentally seen. And luckily, the place also sells party dresses.

“Welcome.” The female employee who greeted Bianca gasped in surprise when she found Jimmy's blue eyes glaring at her. The woman even immediately lowered her head while blushing in embarrassment. Jimmy just stared at him flat and chose to follow Bianca in silence.

“How about this?” Bianca asked while lifting a sleeveless dress to the knees red with the thigh part that looks because it is made of transparent— like a net.

“Cantics.” Jimmy answered briefly.

“This one?” Bianca asked again while pointing at a pastel-colored dress with a sabrina brocade modeled thigh.

“Whatever you use will always look beautiful.” Jimmy said with a flat face. While Bianca was only able to be speechless with a shy blushed face. Especially when the officer who had greeted him also heard Jimmy's words. A disappointed look was clearly visible on the woman's face.

Quickly, Bianca drops her choice on the second dress she shows Jimmy. He wants to go home quickly.

***

“Where have you been?” Alan asked as he looked at Bianca sharply. Slowly, he walked down the stairs to get to the woman.

Bianca sighs. You know very well that Alan would be angry because he didn't tell the man.

“I'm hungry.” Bianca lirih.

“I asked pad—”

“Will I explain after finished eating, okay?” Tukas Bianca stepped towards the second floor. Before eating, he wanted to take a shower first. Cleaning yourself before filling the stomach is the top priority. Except in urgent circumstances.

After Bianca dies, Alan immediately calls Sofie and has the woman make food for Bianca. After that, he will ask for an explanation from the woman.

***

Bianca, who had just returned to the room after filling her stomach, had found Alan sitting on the bed with both hands folded in front of her chest. Alan's eyes stared at him sharply. Sure if the man is waiting for an explanation from her.

“I'm just a little late coming home.” Bianca opened her voice while putting her newly bought dress into the closet.

“Slightly? Didn't I tell you that you have to get home on time?” Alan spoke in a cold tone. His face turned hostile.

“I'm being lazy arguing.” Bianca cried without spirit. Arguing with Alan would never yield any results for him.

“Good. I think Jimmy should suffer the consequences!” Said Alan while reaching for his phone located near the pillow. His hands moved agilely looking for Jimmy's name.

“Alan!” Bianca screams in disbelief as she grabs Alan's phone. Preventing the man from re-opening as he pleases.

“I brought Jimmy. Punish me, not him!” Bianca looked at Alan exasperatedly and involuntarily threw the man's phone over the bed.

“What I need right now is an explanation from you. It's not your hero's attitude to stand up for Jimmy.” Alan said he did not like it when he saw the attitude of Bianca who defended Jimmy. A foreign feeling returned.

“I took her away to buy a dress.”

“For what? Didn't I buy a lot for you?” Alan asked confusedly. If not mistaken, a week ago she immediately bought ten different dresses for Bianca.

“I want to go to my schoolmate's birthday party.”

“And you think I'll allow you?” Alan asked as he looked at Bianca with his eyebrows raised.

As he expected, the man would be unlikely to allow it.

“Show me the dress you just bought.” Alan's orders. Bianca resigned. Following everything the man said was the only option he had.

“How much is it?” Alan asked when he saw the dress that Bianca showed him.

“Fifty dollars.” Bianca replied in a soft voice. I wish Alan hadn't heard it.

“You want to embarrass yourself?” Alan said as he looked at Bianca in disbelief. The dress that his wife chose was beautiful but the price that he could not accept. Knowing his wife wanted to attend a birthday party by wearing a cheap dress hurt her self-esteem.

“Where?”

“What?” Bianca didn't understand.

“Your friend's birthday party.”

“De - Holy Sunset Hotel.”

“And you want to wear your dress for only fifty dollars?” Alan let out a small laugh when he heard Bianca say. More precisely mocking laughter. It is clear that Bianca does not know about the hotel at all.

De-Holy Sunset is one of the best five-star hotels in Washington DC. Each room was treated to a different luxury. It depends on how much money can be spent by people who want to stay. Facilities complete. And Alan is sure, if Bianca's friend who is having a party spends a lot of money just to rent her Luxury Ballroom. In a few hours.

“I can use my other dress.” Bianca. He's tired already.

“Oh, Bianca Rosaline. You underestimated me?” Syndicate Alan.

“Then you want me to wear which dress?!” Bianca spoke out in frustration while re-inserting roughly the dress she bought into the closet. With a frowning face, he stepped onto the bed and laid his body on Alan's back.

Alan smiled for a moment. Slowly, he brought his body closer to Bianca and placed his lips in front of her ears.

“I'll let you go and buy you a new dress if you manage to persuade me.” Whisper Alan with a raucous voice. The scent of Bianca's body that was smelled by her made her body react strangely.

With a single move, Bianca suddenly changed her position to supine. His hands cupped Alan's cheeks and suddenly pulled the man's head closer.

One kiss he managed to give on Alan's lips.

Alan smiled mischievously. Quickly, he positioned his body on top of Bianca's body without overlapping the woman. The two looked at each other. One kiss that Alan gave Bianca's neck, a sign, if both will end up with a touch of heat.
