Riani's hands and feet began to sweat as she felt the center of attention tonight.
Jack could feel that his wife was nervous so gently he rubbed his wife's waist which was being held and whispered words that gave peace to Riani.
"Look easy, baby. I'm with you. Smile and everything will be fine."
Riani smiled as she greeted some of Jack's friends who started to greet them.
Daniel and Dewi come as one of Jack's company colleagues.
The goddess who had not known who Riani's husband was, seemed surprised when they passed each other.
"Hallo mistress Goddess." Jack greets the Goddess and pretends not to know about the feud they are going through.
"Master, Jack." The Goddess seemed to be in disbelief at what she was going through.
"Honey, this is master Daniel and his wife Goddess. They are also Indonesians." Jack introduced his wife with pride.
The goddess seemed to hold a sense of resentment in the heart. He who once insulted Riani is now surprised because it turns out the woman married a man who is 10x richer than Daniel.
While Daniel held a deep sense of jealousy from his heart. The girl who became his true love, the woman he once married, is now in the arms of a man who is more everything than himself.
"Sir Anggara!" Jack greeted a man in his 60s.
Riani. He is Daniel's father.
"Mr Jack. It's good to finally get to know you in person. It's such an honor to be invited to such a big event. This your wife?" ask Anggara.
"Yes. His name is Riani Artarina. He is now Riani Almond. Mr. Anggara must have known him. He also comes from Surabaya like you and your son." said Jack.
Anggara looked at Riani. He really didn't know this beautiful woman if it wasn't for Jack mentioning her name and he saw how his son looked at Riani. The middle-aged man was a little misbehaved.
But Riani did not want to look at him with a mocking face. She smiled sweetly as she wrapped her hand on her husband's arm.
Riani looked at the man who had separated her from Daniel in the past. There is compassion and gratitude. The pity that Daniel was deceived by his own family but the gratitude that he now proudly raised his face before the man who used to humiliate him.
"Darling, let me introduce you to our kingdom's economy minister."Jack said when he saw that the important man had arrived.
"Excuse me!" Riani then followed in her husband's footsteps calmly.
Daniel looked at Riani who looked increasingly beautiful and mature. His heart ached when he saw how happy Riani was in Jack's arms.
"Mas, how come you're staring at him like that anyway?" The goddess hit Daniel's arm.
"You why the Goddess? Very childish." Daniel moved away from his wife. He picked up a glass of champagne run by one of the waiters. With one gulp he finished it and then repeated it to 3 glasses.
"Dad, involve Daniel's behavior. He doesn't love me at all. He only loved the woman of the village." lamented the Goddess without being able to stop her tears.
"Goddess, you must try to calm down and do everything you can to get pregnant. Because the daughter of the woman, whom Daniel now knows, will threaten the integrity of your household." Anggara said before leaving her daughter-in-law away.
The heart of the Goddess became hot to see everyone praising Riani who was indeed very beautiful. The beauty of Indonesian women. She is now the wife of Jack Almond. Certainly Riani's social status was far above that of the Goddess.
The show also began. As usual Jack will be giving a welcome.
"Thank you to everyone who has attended and provided support to cosmetic companies so that they can now succeed in 130 countries. I am very proud to have the support of all of you. I also feel happy this year because finally after 12 years of being a widower, God gave me a very extraordinary wife. Honey, let's go upstairs."
Riani was surprised that Jack took her upstairs. But he stood up and went on stage.
The beauty of the woman is clearly visible. Become the center of attention of hundreds of people present.
"This is my wife." Jack grabbed Riani's hand and grasped it tightly. "This is my wife Riani Almond."
Everyone immediately clapped. Riani felt her heart beating very hard. But he tried to smile. Jack looked at his wife gently.
"Our wedding was held in Indonesia. I deliberately did not publish because I actually did not want my wife's comfort to be disturbed by the presence of the speakers. After we got married, we decided to stay in my childhood home. But then I thought, it's not good to let people think that I'm still single. That's why I introduced the best woman of my life to all of you. Jack Almond has a wife."
Everyone back clapped.
"With my gratitude for having this wonderful wife, I will give a bonus to all the outstanding employees throughout the year. 13 Salary bonuses and a trip to the Netherlands for the 20 most accomplished employees."
Cheers were heard among existing employees. Riani was also happy to see the generosity of his wife.
After the reception was over, the parabtanu was entertained with a super-luxurious dinner and the dance floor began.
Jack proudly took his wife to the dance floor and showed romance among them in front of many people.
Shortly after, Riani decided to go to the toilet. As he entered the hallway to the women's toilet, Daniel intercepted him.
"Let's go back to Surabaya!"
"I don't want to!"
"We raised Arma together. Like our dreams."
"I don't love you anymore. I love Jack."
"You love his treasure, don't you?"
Plaque!
Riani slapped Daniel very hard. "I never knew Jack was rich when he married her. I love Jack regardless of his status and wealth. You're wrong to think I don't love her." Riani left Daniel alone.
He went into the toilet upset. He's the head because Daniel won't let go.
Finished from the toilet, Riani returned to the room. Jack was waiting for her with a worried face.
"I'm afraid if you're dizzy in there. I was just about to catch up with you." said Jack and wrapped his hands around his wife's waist.
"Daniel is bothering me again, Jack" Riani said without hiding her sense of regret.
"I'll beat him."
"Alright, baby. It's all over. I can handle it." Riani rubbed Jack's arm to calm her husband down.
As the event began to end, and the guests had already begun to say goodbye, at the entrance there was a chaos.
"What's wrong?" jack asked one of his men.
"Sir, outside is Miss Cecilia Smith. He forced himself to enter but since he did not bring an invitation, and the event was over, the security forces did not let him in."
Jack was angry. "Remand the woman immediately."
"Good, master!"
Riani saw that Jack was very angry but also his face was tense.
"Darling, we'd better get back on the secret path." Jack immediately gave the code to his guards. He then asked Riani to take his wallet so that they would leave immediately.
The guards arranged the way for the boss and his wife to pass through the safe passage. Jack's car is parked in the back of the hotel.
Eventually they were able to safely return home without the distraction of journalists and other news hunters.
However, to their surprise when they were about to enter the courtyard of the house, Cecilia stood there and blocked their steps.
Jack gets off and asks Riani to stay in the car.
"What do you want Cecilia?"
Cecilia looked at Jack. "Your responsibility!"
"I told you I wanted to see the results of the DNA test."
"This is your son, Jack!"
"Don't be too sure, Cecilia!"
"Diamond.....! Down you!"
Cecilia stepped towards the car. Jack's got Cecilia. Pulling it rough.
Riani finally got down looking at the situation.
"What's wrong?" ask Riani.
"I'm pregnant with her son, Jack!" cecilia shouted making Riani look very surprised.
