"Please Jack, let me go."
"No....!"
"How can I be with you when I've slept with another man?"
"I don't care! I promise I'll never bring up what you've done with Philip. I promise I will never be blindly jealous and act rashly before making a decision. I promise I'll close all the past that's going on in between and start a new life again." Jack said as he tightened his embrace at Riani's waist.
"But my heart is no longer for you, Jack."
Jack let go of his embrace and then he turned Riani's body. Staring at the woman he loved so deeply. Riani instantly threw her gaze in the other direction.
"I'll make you fall in love with me again. I will fight to win your heart."
Riani looked at Jack. "Why don't you stop chasing me< Jack? Can't we be friends and raise our children together? Maybe we are not fit to live together as a husband and wife."
Jack shakes. "I've known a lot of women in my life. I've even felt that Cecilia is everything. But it's not the same when I'm with you you're the power in my life." Jack held onto Riani's cheek with both hands. "Look at me, Ri. I will be devastated when you are truly lost in my life. My pride and selfishness have made me like this. Let me go back to your life."
The views of the two meet. Riani felt worried in her heart. However, he could not remove Jack from his heart. There was a Reo among them. But when she remembered everything Jack had done to her, Riani again wanted to close the door of her heart.
"Jack...., i....!"
Jack stroked Riani's cheek with the back of his hand. "I know that you're afraid I'm hurting you again right? I promise, Ri. In the name of God, for the happiness of my children, I will never doubt your love and loyalty again. I'll never make you cry. Let me be with you once more. Please.....!"
Riani closed her eyes. His persistence to live alone began to waver. He saw Jack's efforts over the months that showed his perseverance to have Riani. Should he believe again?
As Riani slowly opened her eyes, Jack had already fused their lips together in a very gentle kiss. Riani felt her whole body tremble. Jack's kiss this time was like their first kiss. The kiss that made Riani almost lose control over herself.
When Jack's hand was coiled around Riani's waist and pulled the woman closer to her body, Riani slowly returned Jack's kiss.
"Mommy.....!" Reo suddenly woke up and cried looking for Riani.
Spontaneously, Riani immediately pushed Jack's body and stepped towards the bed. Reo sat down and cried.
"Hi dear ..., why are you crying? The room is different, right? Reo's not used to being here?" riani asked and hugged her son while wiping away Reo's tears.
Jack is approaching. "Reo, want daddy's cradle?"
"Mommy...!" Reo refused and turned his body. She hugged Riani's neck while resting her chin on her mother's shoulder.
"Reo want some milk?" riani asked as she gently patted her son's shoulder.
"Milk..!" Reo repeated the words from Riani.
"Let me make it." Jack goes to the kitchen to make Reo milk.
When she returned, Reo immediately took her milk bottle and slept while her hand one pulled on Riani's nightgown. The woman knew that Reo wanted to sleep next to her.
1 hour later, Reo fell asleep again. Riani closed her eyes because she was also sleepy. When he almost reached dreamland, Riani felt that Jack slept behind him while wrapping his hands around Riani's waist, Jack slept on his ex-wife's back.
"Good night, baby." whispered Jack before closing his eyes.
**********
In the morning, the sun does not shine. The sky was a little cloudy because of the snow falling. Riani who woke up a little late, rushed to the kitchen but it turns out Leo and James are already in the kitchen with Jack and breakfast is already available there.
"Reo's still asleep?" ask Jack.
"Yes. He probably woke up around 9 or 10 in the morning." Riani answered and repaired the jacket because the air was very cold.
"It looks like there's a guest. I'm the one who opened it." Leo said when he heard the doorbell.
Shortly after, Leo returned to the kitchen. "Mrs, there's a guest for you."
"Who?"
"Prince Philip."
Riani surprised. He glanced at Jack for a moment. The man's face looked very jealous but he tried to smile. "Let's meet the prince, Ri."
Riani immediately went to the living room. He smiled at Philip. "Hi....., did I bother visiting this early?" ask Philip.
"No....!" Riani approached and shook hands with Philip while splashing.
"I was looking for you in the apartment but you weren't there. Clark said you might be here."
"Clark knows I'm here?"
"Yes." Yeah."
Riani was a little surprised because she did not say goodbye to Clark.
Philip sat down beside Riani. "I missed you. Does Jack mind if I'm here? Or do we need to go out for coffee?"
"Can. But I want to see my son for a second, okay? Maybe in about 30 minutes I'll change his clothes while giving him breakfast after that we can get out."
"I'll wait patiently."
Riani immediately went to the bedroom because she heard that Reo was crying.
After that Leo came to bring a warm tea for Philip and Jack sat down with Philip.
"How are you, prince?" ask Jack.
"What's the business here?" ask Jack.
"You know I'm chasing Riani."
"I beg the prince, let Riani go."
"Why? Riani is a free woman. He's here with you just because your son is Reo."
Jack lowered. He took a deep breath and slowly exhaled. "I love Riani. I'm trying to get her heart back. And all this would have been easier if the prince had stayed away from her."
"What if I don't want to?"
"Then we'll both fight to get his love."
Philip nodded. "You're a stupid man who's wasted the chance to live with a woman like Riani. I don't want to let Riani go because I don't want you to hurt her again."
"I swear I won't hurt Riani again. I realized that she was the best woman in my life."
Philip looked at Jack. "How is it? I won't let Riani go either. She's a special woman, Jack. And I want him so badly to be my side."
Jack nodded. "All right prince. I can't ban you because Riani is a free woman. But you should also know that I will never stop chasing Riani until she is back by my side."
Philip smiled. "Let's fight together."
Shortly after, Riani came out of the room. "Reo is sleeping again. So please feed him when he wakes up, Jack?" riani's message before leaving with Philip.
Jack felt his heart ache when he saw Riani leaving with Philip. But he tried to suppress his angry feelings. He will fight to get Riani back to his side.
***********
In a nightclub, sat 3 handsome men who looked established but unfortunately they were just three without any girl among them.
"So, do you think Jack has finally realized the meaning of Riani in his heart?" ask the man in the white shirt who is none other than Sam, Jack's assistant.
"Yes. He even humbly begged me to let him come back with Riani. When I said that I wouldn't let go of Riani, I thought she would punch me like she used to. He just said that he would compete with me to get Riani." replied the man wearing the black jacket who was none other than Philip.
The other man finally laughed. He's Clark, Jack's half-brother. "Jack finally realized that he could not live without Riani. It turns out that our strategy to get Philip to approach Riani could finally make Jack aware. If I were to get close to Riani, Jack would have hit me right away. But if Philip then Jack would definitely feel that his rival is not a random person."
Philip sipped the drink in his hand. "I wish Jack was reluctant to compete with a prince and allow Riani to continue with me."
Sam and Clark looked at each other. "Philip, don't tell me you're....." Sam deliberately hung up his sentence.
"Yes. I have to admit, Riani has a million charms that can make anyone fall in love with her." Philip shook his head with a smile.
"I've reminded you, Philip. Don't fall for Riani. Our game is just to make the stupid Jack realize that he has released an angel because of his stupidity. I know that Riani is very beautiful and soft in heart. I also almost fell in love with her at first because of her face that was similar to Camila. But I know, a woman like Riani, once in love she'll be hard to forget." Clark said as he poured the drink in his empty glass.
"I knew. But this is how feelings. Who could have expected it? If Jack wasn't your brother, and if I hadn't remembered our friendship, then I wouldn't have let Riani go. I'm gonna go after him. It doesn't matter if the royal party will ban me because of her status as a second child widow. Riani is special.
Sam was smiling too. Enough of this secret he kept to himself. He who initially saw Riani while at the airport in Bali. He was already amazed by Riani before Jack came and approached the woman. Sam gave up on his boss. And never once did Sam reveal his heart to his sidekick Clark. Because he also knew, Clark was interested in Riani.
"So how did your conversation with Riani end this morning?" ask Sam.
"Riani said that she only considers me a friend. He thanked me for being so good to him. Even he also knew that the ban was made by Jack, I was the one who canceled it. It seems like something happened in that little house before I came. And I'm jealous." Philip said and drank all the drinks in his glass.
"What if Riani finally accepts you?" ask Sam.
"That day I will marry her, so that she can have a home and Reo will be able to stay with her. Aw, Clark. I followed your game to fit Jack jealous, but now I'm jealous when I find out they're getting close. Fuck you, Clark.!" philip said as he sipped his drink again.
"Then let's get drunk!" clark followed by Sam and Philip's laughter.
***********
Reo was asleep. Riani was in the living room watching TV and enjoying a cup of warm chocolate. Cassie and Jack were out but a few minutes ago Cassie just called and said they were close.
Cassie and Jack arrive shortly after.
"Mommy, we have happy news" Cassie said, looking at Jack with a happy face.
"What's wrong?"
Cassie opens her phone and shows a photo that Arma sent to Cassie's number.
At first, Riani did not understand much. But he then looked up while reading the contents of the letter. "Arma has asked for a letter to move out of school? Where does Arma want to go to school?"
Cassie smiled happily. "Arma is moving to England, mommy. Daddy managed to persuade him and opa Arya and Oma Sulastri will also be coming for a while here. Before Christmas they'll be here."
"really?" Riani's eyes immediately glazed over. Of course he wants this. He is close to Arma and her parents.
"Two weeks they'll be here. The visa is out." said Jack as he looked at Riani with hope.
Riani nodded. But a few seconds later he woke up. What's his status with Jack?
