Wife Contract Rich Investor

It's you. always you.

“Dim, I'm so sorry I didn't open the phone this afternoon. So what's the cooperation decision?” Said Regina who was connected to Dimas on the phone. During the afternoon Regina was busy cooking in the kitchen and left her cell phone in Gian's room due to falling asleep. Missed calls from Dimas more than 10 times and his unrequited messages.

“Everything's done, Mom. I had the same consultation with Mr. Gian. He has agreed to cooperate with the Vendor from Vietnam. He said all the documents are okay.” Reply Dimas.

“Gian? Last afternoon?”

“Iya. Last phone call to Bu Rere no one picked up. Mr. Gian is back on my phone. Sorry for interrupting the cut, ma'am.”

“Oh is okay, Dim.”

They went on to discuss work for a few minutes before the connection was cut off. Gian was likely this afternoon to learn of the calls from Dimas then contacted him back. Then finish the job Regina should have done. Dimas also said he sent documents regarding the vendor to Gian for consultation. Even when Gian was sick still had time to work? Really crazy guy's working.

Although Regina was relieved that Gian helped her, she was still upset by the words she had spoken earlier in the kitchen. Ja. Ja. He knew, from the beginning Gian was indeed looking for a woman who was not interested in him at all. She thought Regina would easily fall in love with her? The strange feeling he felt was not love.

No, Re! You are just confused again! You might not fall in love with that shitty workaholic! You're just lonely and you need a temper, Re. That's why it's rich. He said inwardly, convincing himself.

Regina has completed several design recommendations for further production and checked the materials suitable for the design. Now it's time to spare enough for lunch. She opens her phone and looks through social media, looking for inspiration on current fashion trends.

On his social media site, posts appeared Lina, Gian's oldest cousin, who was with her sister Maya, Yuniar and Bayu. They were photographed in a fancy restaurant and a cake was served in front of Yuniar. Added with caption ‘Happy Birthday, Mommy!”. The photo was in the post two days ago. Aunt Yuniar Birthday!!

The gawat!! Regina really doesn't know. Gian also did not say anything to her about her aunt's birthday. Though Aunt Yuniar already Regina considers like her own in-laws.

Gian bummer! Why don't you know something rich!

Regina vented her frustration and frustration to curse at Gian. All the bad and annoying things are always related to him. With courage, Regina pressed the call button to the Yuniar number. Waiting for the phone to connect.

“Halo, Re.” Answer Yuniar gently.

“Tante, happy birthday yes. Sorry I'm lu—”

“Oh yes thanks for the gift, Re. Aunty Seneng really dapet handbag from YSL. How do you know your aunt likes Turquoise?” Cut Yuniar with vigor.

He did not send any gifts at all to Yuniar, let alone know his favorite color. Even her birthday was just a few minutes ago Regina learned from Lina's social media posts. It must be Gian who sent the gift on behalf of Regina.

“Umm.. Gian said.” Regina said.

“Oh yes? Well, I don't think he's the same attention aunty until the story to you gini. Next time you come home, we have dinner together or here on holiday.”

“Iya, aunt. If Gian is busy.” Reply Regina awkwardly.

“Ah she is busy. Must be forced.”

“Iya, aunt. Hahaha”

Regina sighed as she ended the phone call with Yuniar. Gian has done so far to support all his lies. Makes Regina look like a caring daughter-in-law. He did not care and may have to thank Gian for his actions. Unknowingly saving her from embarrassment for not paying attention to Juniar's birthday.

It was raining heavily when Regina walked out of her office. He went to the supermarket first before returning home. Shopping for food that has been finished.

Regina drives her vehicle quite casually. Lazy to quickly get home, she does not want to meet Gian. His feelings have not improved because of his words yesterday. It feels like I want to grab her straight hair until bald.

When Regina was driving suddenly her car had a problem. He stopped her by the side of the road, then restated her. But the vehicle won't light up.

Regina panic. The car broke down again! He stopped in an area where there were no people. Completely alone on the side of the road. There's nothing he can ask for help.

Regina opens her phone but she doesn't know who to call. The repairman who was not able to come here the other day. Their place is too far away.

Does he have to call Gian? Regina groaned disapproving of her own idea. Don't want to hang on and ask that shitty guy for help. But the only person who came to his mind was Gian. Finally he was only 15 minutes in silence on the spot, waiting for a car to pass for him to ask for help. In the rain and in the middle of nowhere, it was getting dark.

He should have dumped the strikeman's car and bought a new one. It's okay if he has to pay off every month as long as he doesn't experience something like this. Regina was impulsive and upset herself. All of this has upset him lately.

His car was suddenly knocked by someone. Regina looked at the window, then lowered her glass.

“Ngapain you are onem here?” Ask Gian.

Damnit damnit! Why did he have to come?

“Mobilku broke down. Ga want nyala.” Regina hates herself. For sure he looks very sad in front of Gian. He did not want Gian to sympathize with him. Later she feels that Regina depends on her and likes her. Ih.

“Ya has come down. Ride my car aja.”

“Certain my car?”

“Let me call someone to take your car to the workshop.”

Regina finally obeyed Gian's words. Even though in his heart he kept grumbling. Seeing his face made him worse. Why did Gian have to pass by?

They were silent in the car towards home. Regina just looked at the wet street outside. The distance where his car broke down was quite far from home. He thought of walking away from his car. But it turns out that's impossible.

“How do you go home? Tumben.” Regina broke the silence. He looked at his watch and the time showed it was still at 6 p.m.

“Ngapain?”

“Yes your car is ugly like to strike. Want me to buy you a new one?”

“Ga. I don't want to owe you any more. Enough funds for help for my company aja.” Answer Regina ketus. Regina never thought she would offer him a car like a snack. Of course he will not accept Gian's offer.

“Not debt. Gift from me.”

“Ga. Ga ga got.”

They then fell silent.

“Thursday there is a dinner invitation from one of my business colleagues. You don't have any overtime this Thursday?” Ask Gian.

“Ga no.”

At 7 Regina was ready. He was wearing a maroon-colored cocktail dreas. Her hair was in the booth without accessories. Her face was beautified with smokey eyes makeup that made her look elegant and mature.

They were taken away by Ayus. Gian has to drive at night. Regina didn't say much during the trip. Only Pak Ayus and Gian who told a lot filled the silence.

During the dinner, they look like a romantic couple. Gian always embraced Regina, placing his hands on the girl's waist possessively. Regina swallows all her frustration towards Gian for the sake of pretending to be good in front of everyone.

Round tables are placed throughout the hotel ballroom, where guests are invited. They sat down together with some acquaintances of Gian.

“Udah fill, Re?” Ask one of Gian's mothers, the wife of a business colleague.

“Not yet. We still enjoyed our honeymoon. Relax aja.” Gian replied with a smile.

Regina silently sneered. A honeymoon? Hid. Even the roommates never. Gian put a fence around it. Expelled Regina many times by saying they were not real husband and wife. For a long time it felt sick to myself with the lies Gian said easily about their relationship. There is no beautiful first night, romantic home life, or special relationship between them.

“I'm sorry to go to the toilet first.” Regina said in the middle of the conversation.

Then get up from his seat out of the ballroom. The toilet is far away from there. At the end of the building, pass through the corridor and then turn left. Regina stayed in the empty toilet for a long time, to calm her foggy mind because of the many lies she had told today.

Regina tidied up her make-up next to each other, polishing the slightly faded lipstick. The mirror reflected her face wearing make-up perfectly, looking beautiful but there was a huge void in her that she could not explain. Quite satisfied with her break time, she decided to return to the event.

As he stepped out of the toilet, a figure he knew was waiting outside. He was wearing a black suit, standing crossed his arms. The night Arsila's party memories come to Regina's mind. He hated that night and the person in front of him.

“Great yes you. End of cave snincer now ngincer Gian.” Said Alex cynically.

Regina doesn't want to deal with Alex anymore. His steps he accelerated and passed away going through it. However, Alex prevents her by holding Regina's arm.

“Please!!” Jerky Regina fierce.

“Paid how much you equal Gian? Gua tau lu married her because he wants to morotin money her, right?” Alex said with a slight smile.

“Do not snitch you!”

“Or do you sell yourself to him? Let him digelaminetin your company that almost broke it, right?”

Regina just kept her anger in check.

“Regina, if you need money why not go to the cave anyway? Hmm?”

Alex pushes Regina and corners her against the wall. He clasped Regina's left wrist preparing to hit her. Regina screamed in pain from Alex's grip. Alex quickly silenced Regina's mouth with her other hand, closing her body so that Regina could not move. Tears came down from the corner of Regina's eye. He was completely cornered.

“Gua is still curious about you.” His whisper was in Regina's ear. Her lips then traced Regina's face, kissing her casually. “Lu will not get rich gini from Gian, Re. The cave knew him from a long time ago. She's not interested in girl.” He said it again like brutal. Kiss it down to the neck. Regina continues to squirm rejecting all the disgusting touches of Alex. He could not scream, his mouth was still silenced. 

“Why are you so cute anyway, Anj*ng! Cave so sang*e every look at you!” His emotions continued to kiss Regina's face and neck. While Regina kept moving, kicking, and screaming. His other hand that was still free clawed and grabbed Alex's hair by breaking it there. Time went on for Regina. The place was deserted, no one came there. Alex can do more than this if no one comes to his aid. Regina was really scared. Now she could not control her cries and screams. Alex's grip on her wrist grew stronger due to Regina's resistance, she was in even more pain. His whole body was in pain.

Suddenly with a single grip on the back collar of Alex's neck, he was thrown away from Regina's body. Alex fell down. The next thing Regina saw was Alex lying on the floor and the blows that landed on her face fiercely. He didn't stop even though Alex was begging him. The more Alex pleads, the grip on his neck and the punch gets tighter. Alex could have been seriously injured and died from it.

“GIAN!!” Shouts Regina trying to stop the man who was beating Alex. He doesn't want Gian to get in trouble for hurting Alex.

Gian stopped, but obviously he was not satisfied to beat Alex. His breath is still stinging. Resisting the anger that still covers it. The shirt from inside her blazer looks messy, as does her hair. Gian is really angry.

Without a word, Gian got up and left Alex lying down. Alex's nose and lips were bleeding. His face was swollen from the backlash. He can't wake up.

Gian walked towards Regina, seeing the girl staring in fear. Her appearance was very messy, tears came down her cheeks, and she continued to hold onto her bluish wrist. Gian really hated that sight. Gian embraces Regina, calming her down even though her heart is still very upset with anger. Regina sobbed in his arms.

“Now it's okay.” Gian said to calm Regina down, stroked her hair and continued to hold her. Regina felt Gian's warmth, her scent mixed with perfume calming her down. His fear of decay disappeared as Gian's embrace deepened.

Gian, and always Gian who managed to save him from many things. He always shows up at the right time, when Regina needs someone. He's been handling a lot of problems in his life lately. Even so since the incident with Alex at Arsila's party. In the end, Regina continues to be helped and needs Gian's whereabouts.

Along the way to the hospital, Regina continues to hug Gian. He also did not attempt to let go of Regina's embrace. Even keep calming him. When he reached the hospital, doctors treated Regina's left wrist, which seemed to be sprained by Alex's grip. The doctor wrapped it in a bandage. They went home with prescribed pain medication and told him to compress the sprained wrist with a cold compress.

Before going home, Gian called Pak Ayus to do something. He bounces to Regina and disappears. Heading home, Gian drives his own car. Once every few minutes he asked Regina's condition. But then Regina fell asleep on the road due to exhaustion.
