The Revenge of the President

Chapters 106. Open old wounds

Arshila hasn't changed clothes. Still sitting tight, by the bed. He remembered who the woman was. The woman who used to slap and pull her hair. The woman, even promised revenge, when she was free first.

It's been over a year, why is he coming now? Does he know his status?

Suddenly, a burly hand, hugged and pulled his waist.

"Don't think, anything. It's all done."

"But, ...."

"He's a nobody. I'll protect you."

Arshila felt a little calm. Dave's attitude, now that has changed, even though Arshila has not fully believed. There is still fear and worry, which haunts. Sometimes, she herself did not dare to stare at her husband's two beads.

"Change your clothes and rest! It's late."

Arshila nodded, got up, headed for the bathroom. Dave himself, get back out of the room, see if the woman's gone.

"Ma."

Rachel stood at the door of her son's room. He wanted to see the state of his son-in-law, who must have been feeling depressed.

"Where's your wife?"

"He's taking a shower."

"Goodoo. Come, Mama."

Dave followed his mother's steps, heading for the study.

"What's wrong?"

Now they're sitting across, on a couch.

"Mama wants you to introduce Arshila to the public. You guys should have a wedding reception."

"I'm still thinking about it. Mama knows very well, what risks I have to bear later."

"Isn't he clear, didn't make that mistake. What are you afraid of?"

"He didn't do it. But I handed the witness to the authorities and stopped the investigation. I'm the one who just listens unilaterally, without investigating the truth. You know what's going to happen, next? If I, introduce Arshila as my wife."

"Mama knows. But, after all, your wife needs a confession and we need to clear her good name. We can't, let his name tarnish forever. Moreover, she's already part of our family and pregnant with your child."

Dave rubbed his face. All is true, he must clear the good name of the wife. But, to do it. He has to reopen the case. And he did not want to, Arshila again get the spotlight and pressure.

"I'll think about it, Ma. Give me some time!"

"good. Remember Dave, this is about your son's future. We don't let his mother's good name get smeared or she'll get scorn from her friends later."

"I know."

After, Rachel left. Dave was still sitting, calming his mind. Apparently, there was something more important he had to do. His move, giving Dimas a punishment with his own hands, turned out to be wrong.

"Tell me, Nadia. To, see me tomorrow," Dave told someone behind the phone.

"Good, Sir. But, Nadia, is requesting divorce proceedings with Dimas. And he asked me, to take the money."

"Money? What money?"

"Nadia will pay a portion of the prize money, as a condition for divorce and child custody."

"no need. He will get all of that, without having to do anything. Tell him to come and tell my lawyer."

"Good, Sir."

Connection interrupted. Dave had to talk about this first to his lawyers. He must know the steps and consequences, which he must bear later. Especially, for Arshila.

Feeling a little calm, he returned to the room. Arshila was still waiting for him in black pajamas.

"Why not sleep?"

"I'm waiting for you."

Dave reviewed the smile. An answer, which made his heart flower. He approached and grabbed the body

the wife, to sleep next to him.

"Can I ask?" Hugged Arshila's body tightly, while his left hand stroked her.

"What?" replied Arshila, who was beginning to feel sleepy.

Arshila did not answer. She knew that her husband had punished Dimas in his own way. But why does he still ask?

"Didn't you give him a punishment? Secretary Tian, who told me."

"That's not enough."

Arshila turned her body, looking at the husband.

"Then?"

"I want to clear your good name and publicize our relationship."

"no need. It's all over and I want to forget it."

"Not that. It's about the future, our son."

Deg.

Well, son. The status of the child, as the heir of the husband's family. He must have a high status and a clean name, not tarnished by past deeds, such as his parents.

"I, ..."

"Don't be afraid. I'll take care of everything. I'm just asking you not to be burdened and depressed. Can you do it?"

Arshila nodded her head slowly. However, he had to open an old wound. He will be ready to face it, for the sake of their hearts.

***

Morning's approaching. As usual, before breakfast. Arshila has fulfilled her duties as a wife. Prepare the bath water and Dave's work clothes.

"If you want to go out, take Lin's mother with you."

"thank you. I want to find baby gear."

"really?" Dave bent his legs, closing both ears under his wife. "What would my son want to buy, hm? Don't make your mother, tired. Understood!"

Arshila smiled widely, at once moved. Will he be happy like this forever? Really, she wanted forever, to feel like the happiest woman.

Thank ye. Thank you, Lord!

"Come, we'll have breakfast. Papa and mama, must have waited."

Dave clasped his wife's hand, got in the elevator. Smiles, constantly stroking Arshila's stomach. I don't know why, this made him feel so happy.

"Ma. Shila, go shopping for baby stuff."

"really? Can Mama come?" Rachel enthusiastic.

"Sure, Ma." This time it was Arshila who replied, with a big smile.

"Pa. Can you accompany me to the company?"

"For what?" liam replied lazily. He wanted to follow his wife and daughter-in-law shopping. "Papa, right, has returned your post. Why else, Papa go there?"

"There's something important. Papa can follow them to the mall, later." Dave had guessed why the father was lazy to go with him.

"Yes, yeah. But, quick, dad! Papa wants to pick a dress for Papa's grandson."

"What the hell! What are clothes for. The type of darkness is unknown. If I buy it wrong?" rachel Protest.

"Well, save it, for his sister later."

The couple chuckled. The first grandchild was not born. Uh, already thinking about his sister.

They also split up, in the yard. Rachel and Arshila enter the house to prepare. They asked Lin's mother, to accompany him.

Traveled. Dave started talking about his plan. He wants his father to know and provide a solution for him.

"What about lawyers?"

"I've asked them to come, sir." Tian replied, from behind the wheel.

"We can reopen this case. But do you have any solid evidence? A year ago, you were just listening to that woman. In fact, ask the authorities to stop the investigation. If you don't have anything, everything will just end up in vain."

"I've thought about it, Pa. I'm not giving up now. I want it all done and Clarissa's mom doesn't bother my wife anymore."

"Papa expects the same thing. We'll listen, what our lawyers think."
