Verrel's lips smiled when he saw Deandra who never opened his eyes. After buttoning his suit, he approached where his wife was still asleep under a thick blanket covering her innocent body. Verrel's hand pulled out the fallen hair covering his wife's pretty face. He smiled remembering ****** his wife echoed throughout the night.
“Sleep baby. I love you.” He let out a long sigh, as if it was hard to go to the office this morning. Then he kissed his wife before he left. He looked at his wife before he came out of the room. At the door stood Yuna and her two personal servants.
“Good morning, Mr.” said the three in unison.
“Tell me if my wife wakes up,” Verrel said firmly.
“Good, Mr.”
Verrel stepped foot but suddenly stopped “Yuna. If my wife wants to get out of the house, give her some covered clothes. I don't want him to be the center of attention of another man.”
“I understand, Mr.” Yuna replied nodding. The butler knew very well how the nature of his master, Verrel always commented on the clothes that Deandra would wear, sometimes they spent time arguing only about clothes.

In his office Verrel struggled with documents that must be signed. The more days the project increases along with the successful launching of new products of the company that makes many investors interested in working together.
“Sorry, Sir. In front there is Mr. Rico wants to meet,” said Hendra, one of Verrel's secretaries through an intercom connection.
“You what is he coming?” ask Verrel in a tinge.
“Mr Rico said if there is any important thing he wants to talk about with sir,” replied Hendra carefully.
“Let him in,” replied Verrel snorting in annoyance.
Not long after, the door of his study opened and there the man he hated so much entered and approached him.
“You want what you're here for?” verrel asked without taking his eyes off a document. He did not want to meet his enemy.
With a haughty face, Rico approached and looked at Verrel cynically “I wonder, what is your purpose in marrying my lover.”
“Love?” verrel said with a thin, cynical smile “I never knew if he was your lover. My wife never told me that she had a boyfriend and her lover was you.”
Hearing that answer, Rico became emotional and his jaw hardened and both hands clenched. “Damn it! He reversed my words first,” Rico murmured inwardly. Verrel was satisfied to see an emotionless Rico.
“You can't possibly not know that he's my lover, sis.” Rico said in an unfriendly tone at all.
Rico's long breaths sounded as if he found it hard to breathe. “My wife is none of your business, brother. You must have planned all this for revenge, right?”
Verrel smiled with a small grin at the corner of his lips that made Rico very irritated. “Not entirely true, but if you think like that, it's up to you. Oh, aye. My wife is not your lover anymore. She's my wife! Go take care of your wife instead of being busy bothering my wife.”
“You're a real bastard, brother!” exclaimed Rico with a hardened face and a flushed face. He had been unable to hold back his anger all this time.
“Since I was a bastard. Why are you only now aware?” verrel replied calmly without any anger or offense. “But, you should know, as bad as my nature but I have never ruined anyone else's household as many people out there.”
“But now you've ruined my future, brother. You've taken my lover.” Rico returns to his emotions.
“If she is your lover, why did you never introduce her to the public? Not brave because she's not from a rich family like your mother would? As a good lover shouldn't you look after her? Instead of going abroad and rarely calling her and not letting your lover throw themselves into a brothel?”
“Close your mouth, brother. She's not that kind of girl.”
Slowly Verrel looked at Rico with a mocking grin as he crossed his chest. “But in fact, I found him in my bed when I needed a woman. You know what that means? Do you know how many men have paid for her body? If I hadn't saved him that time, I don't know what his life would be like now. Then where were you when it all happened? Do you think you can save him from the striped-nose guy who's been waiting in line? Do you have any money? The striped nose guy out there has given Surya a lot of money to be able to enjoy Deandra's body. Huh! Only I can save him! So now you want to claim my wife and want to take her?” snapped Verrel which made Rico riveted.
“That's not his wish sis. This must have been all you had planned from far away. You deliberately bought it and married him because you want to repay your heartache to me.” exclaimed Rico excited, as if he did not accept his lover was said to sell himself.
“If yes, what do you want? You want to be mad like anything, she's still my wife and the mother of my future son. Did you forget that my wife was pregnant with my child? I will never let go or let anyone snatch mine again.” Verrel said with a sharp look “Including you.” while pointing his index finger at Rico. “One more thing you need to know, my wife loves me without coercion. He treated me like a wife willingly without coercion, all he did because he loved me!”
“Did you ever think that Deandra knew your intentions only for revenge?” rico made Verrel shut up. “I know deandra very well, if she knows I'm sure she will definitely hate you.”
At once Verrel's eyes glinted with anger but in his heart the man thought “What if Deandra finds out with her main purpose? But she's my wife and she's pregnant with my son. There's no way he'll leave me.” Suddenly, the fear of loss broke out. ‘Ah am I currently afraid of being thwarted? Or just afraid of not being able to get satisfaction when making love like deandra gives? Those two things were shackling his heart now.
“Seeing your attitude like this, I'm sure Deandra doesn't know anything.” Rico felt winning it meant he was going to say that to Deandra. “Can only Deandra will leave you if she knows.”
For this time Rico felt victorious because it made Verrel speechless. With confidence and arrogance he walked forward and proved to Verrel that he was not a weak man.
“If you don't want me to take the throne of this company. Brother leave deandra back to me and after that I'll take her away. I don't want the least bit of the Ceyhan family fortune.” Rico paused his speech waiting for a response from Verrel who was silent in his seat.
There was no sign Verrel would answer his offer, Rico decided to continue. “But if you don't want to let go of deandra, I will compete to take everything from you including taking deandra from your side,” said Rico with emphasis.”I'll give you 2x24 hours to think. If after that you don't answer, I assume you started a civil war. I'm ready with all the consequences.”
Rico stepped out of Verrel's room. Verrel's jaw hardened, he swept away everything on his desk. His emotions peaked “I won't let you snatch him bastard!”
“Basic child and mother alike! Love snatching someone else's property!’ Verrel incubates with the jaw hardened, both hands clenched. “You can't take it even if you force.”
