The Perfect Wife

Chapter 31. Lara's Story

Her morning. Lara woke up in the room she had previously occupied. This time his head didn't hurt as much as it did last night. Lara looked a lot fresher this morning. He sat on the bed and looked ahead. Lara tried to remember the incident before she fainted. Suddenly both his eyes widened. It was all real. It's not just a nightmare that will go away when he opens his eyes.

“That guy!” said Lara.

“Which guy?” sahut Fabio's. Again without Lara realizing it, the man was already there guarding Lara until she woke up. He sat on the sofa with a very calm look.

“Master, you're back? You should know one thing.” Lara immediately got out of bed to make Fabio decide to stand up.

“What's up, Miss?”

“The man. He's evil. He's holding a firearm. You should contact the police immediately!” lara said with a face so tense.

“You mean, she?” Fabio pointed at a man standing by the door. Indeed, his position was slightly tucked until Lara was not aware that the man was there. The frightened Lara immediately crouched down and lowered her head. He covered his face with both hands.

“Don't shoot me!” Lara looked at Fabio who was still standing relaxed. He pulled Fabio's hand to crouch down with him. Until finally Fabio crouched down. They're facing each other.

“Master, quick call the police,” whispered Lara.

Fabio looked at Lara's face intently before smiling. The man's smile was so sweet that it made Lara instantly speechless. The fear that had covered him since seemed to disappear somewhere.

“She Walter. The person I trust the most,” replied Fabio.

“Walter?” Lara still can't believe it. “But he's a villain.”

Fabio shakes. “He's not a criminal. Walter does have a gun because it's his job to protect everyone in this house. Including me and you Miss.”

“It's impossible. He wanted to shoot me. She even.” Lara held back her sentence. “He killed the man in that dark room.”

Fabio starts to run out of ways to make Lara forget. However, Fabio does not want Lara to know that he is actually a mafia boss.

“Nona, can we talk while sitting? My legs ache if squatting too long.” Lara stood up immediately. It was a little difficult, but it managed to stand on its own.

Fabio sat down on the sofa and called Walter. The man looked at Walter with an illegible expression. Suddenly Walter looked down respectfully in front of Lara.

“I'm sorry, Miss. I've made you afraid and feel uncomfortable living in this house,” said Walter.

Lara stepped back. He glanced at the firearm on Walter's waist. “Are you a cop?”

Fabio smiled again. Lara who was innocent made her mood return good. Though he had seemed unfriendly and wanted to be angry with everyone because his mission abroad failed.

“I ...” Walter looked at Fabio for help.

“Yes, he's a cop. Payday police,” says Fabio.

“Of course you can. He's a cop,” Fabio replied again. He knew Walter wasn't the patient type to deal with the strange ramblings of a woman like Lara.

“Taking home from the person who seized it? Can you?”

This time Fabio was silent. Little by little he knew what problems Lara had.

“What happened? Would you like to tell me, Miss Lara? I'll ask Walter to help you later,” Fabio said.

Lara breathed a heavy sigh. Without telling the woman to sit on the sofa in front of Fabio. “The story is long, sir. You won't have much time to hear my useless story this.” 

“Who said? Only special people can enter my house, Miss.” 

Lara was happy. Of the many people he had met only Mr. Fabio thought of him as a special person. Although Lara herself did not know the man was lying or honest, but at least Lara could be happy.

“My body makes everyone unlucky. I'm glad you don't see me that way.” Lara looked at the window. Both of his eyes began to glaze over. 

“I am an orphan. Large-bodied women who come from middle to lower families. I married a rich man a while ago. I thought my life would be happy after marriage. My life became a mess after I got married. My husband loves other women. The woman is beautiful, sexy and skinny. Not like me. I lowered my self-esteem in front of my husband. But he never looked at me as his wife. He treated me like trash. The only person who always stood up for me was my father-in-law. Unfortunately he's dead. On the day of her disappearance, my husband divorced me and kicked me out of there. That's not all. He also took over the inheritance of my parents. Until finally I don't know where to go.”

Fabio's speechless. Lara's story reminds her of something that makes her look restrained in anger. “Who's the guy's name?”

“Alex Moritz!” answer Lara slowly.

Walter looked at Fabio's face. Just a little code given by Fabio, then the man will go to finish Alex's life this second as well. Unfortunately Fabio did not give any orders at the time.

“Nona, what do you want? You want to come back with your husband?”

Lara shakes. “I want to make him regret. I want him to chase me like I've been doing. But, it's all impossible. I'm what is this? Ugly woman who dreams too much.” Lara wiped away her fallen tears.

“You can,” sahut Fabio. “You can do it all. But, didn't you say you were divorced, why do you still want to meet him?”

“We are not divorced. The divorce papers were not signed. I remember my father-in-law's message. He did not want to until Alex's sister married his lover. That's all I can do so they can never get married, ” Lara replied as she was.

“Nona, it's very easy. If I may know, when would you like to come to see him to reply to everything he has done?”

“Quickly,” replied Lara.

“How about six months?”

“Bby,” reply Lara quickly. But, he came back to his senses. “What will happen within six months?”

Fabio smiled again. “You will turn into a very beautiful angel!”
