The Prisoner's Wife Mr. Arogan

Chapter 3: Hidden Identity

Five years passed so quickly. A girl awakens from a dream that has haunted her all this time. He sat on the bed with sweat all over his body. The roar of irregular gasping breaths sounded quite clear from him. "Mother."

His outstretched hand took a glass of drinking water over the nightstand to wet his dry throat. The same nightmare of several years makes the girl never sleep when sleeping since that night. The moment where his mother died was immediately right in front of his eyes and he was almost caught in a fire. 

He saw a digital clock on the nightstand, it was still early morning, but his feelings returned to nothing. The girl changed clothes and went to get some fresh air outside her small house. 

"I will definitely avenge them all, Mother!" he told himself in the mirror.

Laura Orca, the girl who witnessed the death of her mother due to an incident that was never expected before at the age of fourteen. 

However, after that happened, Laura who survived even found her aunt's family became rich overnight and married a wealthy businessman as well. Even after, they controlled the wealth and business of the Laura Sanca—ibu family, and drove her from her own home elsewhere, while her main residence was burned. He left without a dime of money or clothes except those worn at the time. He even had to support himself at a young age.

 As far as he knew, both his aunt and elder cousin were always watching from a distance. They had no intention of helping or letting Laura live a quiet life. However, make sure that the girl suffers and lives in poverty. 

Laura stepped out of the house that was only a patch, containing the bedroom where she had lived for the past five years. The girl walked into a crowd wearing a black hoodie and a similar mask that partially covered her face.

He was not wearing it because of his ugly face. However, he wanted to hide the identity as well as the burns on his cheeks, while re-investigating what had been bothering him all along. However, everyone who was used to it understood that such an appearance was Laura Orca, or so they called the Pope. 

"Why? Another nightmare?" asked a woman Laura beside him. 

The girl only nodded small, while looking at what made those people swarm. He stood up with both hands put in his pocket and without much talk. 

"Well, eat this!" The woman opened and handed her candy box to Laura. It relaxes him when something bad comes back unsolicited.

The girl took one candy and ate it without saying a word. Even just for a word of thanks. Luckily her friend had been used to seeing Laura like this ever since they met. The girl turned into an introvert is also terrible since she came out of her own house. He even studied martial arts and went wild to protect himself.

Meanwhile, the woman beside him was the one who found him when he was expelled. He is also the figure who has been helping the girl live her life and hide her identity. Where Laura has to live in two lives as opposed to life is at stake.

Living on the streets doesn't make Laura a bum. He even made the road as a house without his Aunt or Cousin knowing. Together with Catherine Whale, her savior, Laura explores the world of motor racing and car drifting. 

Drifting is an art of high-speed driving technique coupled with car control. While this is a driving technique, he tries to get his car in a tilted position and glides from side to side at high speeds for as long as possible. Until it displays a pretty stunning action for drift fans.

"Give me your keys!" Laura turned her hand to her best friend. 

Cathy reached into her pocket and took the car keys and handed them to Laura. Living together in a dark world for years makes both of them like bodies and shadows. Both are called popes, but have different roles. 

Laura is a shadow racer who bets lives, while Cathy is a figure who rises to the podium in place of Laura. But that doesn't mean he's using the girl. It's just that the woman did help the girl from the beginning and now takes care of all Laura's hidden assets without her aunt knowing.

As usual if Laura had a bad dream with quite severe effects, the woman would vent it in the racing world. He moved towards a modified car parked behind Cathy. 

Laura turned on her engine, making the roar of the car's exhaust sound loud enough and causing the cheers of the crowd outside to excitedly call out her name. "Pope! Whale! Whale!"

Without much time, the spectators who had been covering the road immediately stepped aside and gave way to the car that was ready and roaring ever since. Now the place was like split into two and Laura quickly stepped on the gas pedal to emit thick smoke instantly.

"Go from here!" snapped at a middle-aged woman while encouraging a tearful teenage Laura to ask her aunt to re-examine the case of her death.

"But, Bi. I'm sure it wasn't an ordinary fire!" Laura sat on the floor crying. 

 Meanwhile, Laura is clearly very sure if it is not an ordinary fire, but a premeditated murder who is the main mastermind. However, when the little girl reported to the authorities and declared all that, the Aunt instead picked her up and tortured her with satisfaction after getting all the insurance from her own sister's misfortune.

"Are you crazy, huh? It was obviously your mother's negligence to the point that there was a fire. You better get out of here before I put you in a mental institution!" 

"What, Auntie kicked me out? But, this is also one of my houses, Bi?" Laura sobbed under her stepmother's feet, but the woman seemed to have no heart at all and instead kicked firmly until the girl fell. 

"I'm not your aunt! What did you say? Your home? Now you're just a poor tramp who's supposed to follow your mother to hell! Because all these precious assets are now mine!" Her aunt continued to torture the weak girl, not even a hint of healthy tinge on Laura's face which was now puffy and pale. 

"Bi, please don't be like this! How can I live outside alone? Didn't you say you'd always be my second mom in front of Mama." Laura crawled around trying to plead at her aunt's feet, but instead returned to receiving a kick hard enough that her stomach ached. 

"You don't deserve to be my son and don't ever expect me to care how your life is out there! You want to be a midfielder, a beggar, or even a prostitute even if I don't care! You'd better get out of my house or you'll be dead after your mother!" Regardless of Laura's sobbing, the aunt immediately closed the door quite loudly, leaving the girl alone grimacing in pain outside. 

"I will definitely repay you!" laura said with a sharp highlight and both hands clenched firmly gripped the steering wheel of the car. 

The shadow of the past, did not make Laura focus on her actions scatter. He started men–drift using the clutching— techniquethe use of clutch— as the car he was driving started to approach the bend. He presses the clutch and moves it to 2nd gear. Then the girl pressed the gas to about 4500 rpm. When the clutch is removed, there is a strong spin on the tire because when it is the engine is spinning fast. This sudden massive force makes the rear tire spin so fast that it loses traction and the rear of the car will twist, causing incredible action that amazes every eye of the beholder.

However, the action is not enough there only he then used the braking— technique of using the brake— by pulling the hand brake when entering the bend, causing the rear tire to lock and lose traction and create drift movement. 

Thick white smoke due to the friction of the tires and asphalt that came out made the audience cheerfully see Laura's action. This is how his life has been for the past five years after coming out of his own home, taking the streets as a home and becoming a professional racer with all the hidden assets that Cathy has taken care of for her victories. However, he still lives in simplicity to be mistaken for a vagabond by his stepbrother and mother.

"Damn it! Why don't my emotions go away?" Almost a lap of Laura drove her car, but the anger in the nineteen-year-old girl did not subside as usual. What this does is not easy. In fact, he had to repeatedly enter the hospital because of accidents either in the training arena or a real racing venue. 

As fast as lightning Laura spun in one place and only the rear wheels were hurtling causing quite a loud squeak with thick smoke gathering in one place. He stopped his car and stepped outside while the crowd was still crowding his car. 

"Are you back to the craze?" ask Cathy saw Laura's action that looked so emotional earlier. 

Living with Laura for five years makes the woman understand how the character of the girl is. He would spend the night driving dangerously if something came back to disturb his mind. 

"Have you got any other news?" tanya Laura switched the conversation without answering Cathy first.

"I heard that your cousin is about to move out and become the son-in-law of a dangerous conglomerate family. Reportedly she will be engaged to a man from the Wilson family. Their engagement may be implemented in the near future."

"What?"
