Chương 3: Shadow of the past

Dean was sitting on the edge of the bed in the room Raymond had provided. The room was quite spacious consisting of a bed with a medium-size plain silver color, there were a table and two wardrobes, a bathroom, and a sofa, and a table beside the bed.

Dean sat reading the rules and duties while working as Bryana's bodyguard. He frowned when he saw that there was a statement:

___ No holidays for bodyguards ___

That statement certainly upset Dean. Because he promised Sofia to come home every week. The man got out of bed and walked toward the outside of the room while reading the other rules.

At the door, Dean suddenly hit Bryana who was going to enter his room.

Brughhh...

Dean was still standing straight while Bryana fell to the floor. he immediately helped his mistress by bowing out his hand while apologizing.

"Sorry, Ma'am. I didn't mean it."

Bryana took Dean's helping hand. She patted her butt which felt hot from the fall with a face that grimaced in pain.

"You're not completely wrong. I was also wrong for barging in without your permission," Bryana said.

Dean nodded in understanding with his flat gaze. Now and then he glanced at Byrana who looked prettier than before. The woman wore silver tailored cut pants combined with a white blouse with a ribbon on the sleeves. Her slightly blonde hair was pinned back partially. The prospective employer is truly charming.

Bryana looked at Dean who was still holding the documents.

"Where are you going to?" Bryana asked.

"I want to see you, Ma'am," replied Dean with a flat look and his language is very formal.

Bryana nodded in understanding then asked again, "What is the need to see me?"

"I want to apply for a day off every week if I can't, maybe I will resign," replied Dean confidently. Because if he was full-time without a day off, he would feel homesick for his daughter.

"Why? Do you have anything to do on Sundays?" Bryana asked, raising an eyebrow. She secretly watched the handsome Dean who was not a bodyguard fit. The man is more suited to the profession as an actor, athlete, or model for the mighty men's magazine. Because his body is stocky and handsome with a pomade hairstyle that matches his face shape.

"I have to see my daughter every week, Ma'am," replied Dean.

Bryana did not flinch for a moment by staring at Dean amazed. She was amazed that the man in front of her asked for a day off to meet his daughter.

'Your wife must be lucky to have a loving husband like you,' she thought, remembering Alex, who rarely paid attention to Calvin.

Bryana even thought that Dean had a wife. Because if he has a daughter, he must have a wife.

"Ma'am."

Dean called out because Bryana was daydreaming at her instead.

Suddenly, Bryana slim snapped out of her reverie and said, "I'll give you a day off if you have to."

"Thank you, Ma'am," said Dean with a thin smile.

Bryana smiled back at Dean and turned to leave. however, she turned around again and called Dean.

"Dean."

Feeling his name called, Dean who was going to his room turned to look at Bryana and asked,

"What is it, Ma'am?"

"Don't call me like that and don't be so formal with me. Because I don't like it," Bryana replied.

"But you are my employer."

"Go along, maybe we can be friends other than for work," Bryana exclaimed casually. She was lazy to hear Dean's refusal, decided to return to her room.

___

Dean sighed staring at Bryana's back, who was getting further away and invisible because she had climbed the stairs to her room which was upstairs.

Dean returned to the room and rested. because today may not start work yet because Bryana is still at home to look after Calvin while waiting for Raymond to leave for London.

"Clarissa, she looks very much like you. Doesn't even look arrogant even though she is wallowing in wealth. I am afraid of being carried away by being close to her. Do you think I should uncover all this?"

Dean spoke while staring at a small photo he took from the wallet. It is a portrait of Clarissa while still alive. the man still thinks as if his wife is still alive and often talks with his photos to let go of homesickness.

____

Bryana returns to Calvin's room to sleep with him. She rarely has time for her son because of her busy life as managing director of her father's heritage company in Jakarta.

Drett ... Drett...

Bryana's cell phone that sits on Calvin's bedside table is ringing with the tune of Ellie Goulding's song Flux. She immediately took the cellphone and saw who was calling.

Bryana immediately returned the cellphone to the table without picking up the continuous incoming calls. She chose to remain silent while embracing Calvin who was sleeping.

"You have betrayed and are trying to kill me. even now you want to take Calvin away from me. Custody falls on me. But you always teased me and Calvin. "

Bryana imagines when Alex is caught treason and only uses himself to increase her wealth coffers by embezzling company funds she manages. Even her ex-husband tried to kill her viciously. luckily Raymond immediately helped her survive death.

Flashback on

Bryana intends to drop off lunch for Alex at the office. Incidentally at that time, she was on leave because she was craving for her second pregnancy. at that time Calvin was just over two years old and she forgot not to take the pills to delay pregnancy or to do injections to delay pregnancy until she became pregnant again. Like it or not, this beautiful woman with a height of 173 cm accepted her fate.

Bryana walks down the corridor of Alex's office building which is magnificent but no more grandiose than her company. She walked with leisurely steps into the elevator to the 10th floor where her husband's room was.

"Every time I get pregnant, I can't stay away from you, Alex. I hope you like this food," Bryana muttered while carrying a paper bag filled with food that she deliberately cooked for Alex.

When the elevator door opened, Bryana immediately got out and walked towards Alex's room, which was only about 25 meters from the elevator. several employees greeted her with friendly smiles because they knew that Bryana was the wife of their boss.

Bryana opens the door to Alex's office and is about to step inside. but her steps stopped when she saw her husband's unclothed back support on a sofa moving quickly and a woman's sighing sound could be heard.

Bryana realized what her husband was doing. did not feel her eyes glistening and slowly the clear grains slipped from her eyelids. She furiously threw the paper bag she had been carrying at Alex's body, who was still unaware of her presence.

"Bryana!"

Alex grimaced in pain at the impact of the paper bag containing food supplies for him. He looked at Bryana who immediately left him. The man stopped his activities and put his clothes back on.

"What's the matter? Why did it stop?" asked Elsa, Alex's affair.

"Bryana came and saw what we were doing," replied Alex, hurriedly buttoning his shirt. "I have to catch up with her immediately," he continued as he walked with brisk strides.

____

Bryana ran to the elevator and pushed the button for the ground floor. when the elevator is about to close, Alex even enters. She immediately slapped her husband and left the door closed.

"You didn't have the heart. you are disgusting!"

"Bryana, I'm sorry. I can not refuse because she continues to flirt and I do need it. Because you never served me since pregnant with the second child." Alex defended himself on the pretext that Bryana did not serve him. he should have realized it was because his wife was not well.

"Don't have any excuses. I'm like that because I'm constantly nauseous. I even took the time to bring you lunch to make you happy, but instead, you treated me with that disgusting scene. You're a traitor!"

The elevator doors opened. Brýana walked briskly out of the office building as Alex continued to chase her.

In a hurry and a state of confusion, Bryana fell while crossing the short stairs to the courtyard. the hard impact made her in pain and immediately experienced bleeding because her womb was so young.

Alex immediately helped Bryana and carried her to the car, then immediately drove her to the hospital.

"I hate you. if anything bad happens to my future kid, I will never forgive you!" said Bryana while grimacing in pain and holding her stomach.

"Your kid is mine too, Bryana. You were the one who was careless until he fell." Alex instead blames Bryana.

"I fell for avoiding you. I am even disgusted to see you. You touched another woman!"

"Watch your words! I've only done this once because I was tempted by her seduction!" said Alex in a high tone while focusing on driving.

"Arghh ... do I have to tolerate your actions? How selfish and greedy I don't want to accept a husband who has stained his hands by touching another woman!"During the pain, Bryana continued to show her hatred and disappointment to Alex.

Drett ... drett...

Bryana's cell phone that was in the small bag rang. she immediately picked up the cell phone and saw an incoming call from Raymond. The woman immediately picked it up even though she was in pain.

"Hello."

"Where are you, Jill? I've arrived at your house and you're not there." Raymond asked sounding disappointed.

"I'm on my way to the hospital," Bryana replied.

Alex glanced at Bryana in annoyance and disgust that she'd even told Raymond about his current state. He was sure that his wife would complain to her brother and he would be beaten.

"What's wrong with you, Jill?" Raymond asked in a panicked voice.

"I fell and was bleeding," Bryana replied. "It's all because ...."

Not finished Bryana said, Alex immediately took the cellphone and threw it out of the car.

"Stop snitching! Don't talk about what we saw to your brother, because this is the disgrace of our family," said Alex in a high voice. He stopped the car to the side of the road which is very quiet, then looked at Bryana who was grimacing in pain.

"Why did you stop? Don't you see that I am in pain and need medical help?"

Alex smiled faintly and grabbed Bryana's hair until her face looked up and the pain grew even more. "Honestly, I never had love you! You'd better die than trouble me. And I'll take your treasure."

Bryana is in more pain and can't hold back her tears because Alex said. She felt she had been fooled by the man she loved all this time.

"Get off me, Alex!" exclaimed Bryana.

Alex brought his face closer to Bryana's and kissed her lips for a moment. He took out the knife that was stored in his car, then pointed it at his wife's stomach.

"I have to end you right now, Darling. You are just a stupid woman who will never get my love!"

"No! You can kill our would-be kid." Bryana stared in horror at the knife that was approaching her stomach. She struggled but couldn't bear it with pain.

"Instead, I will make it die with you. You don't have to worry about Calvin. He will have a new mother when you die." Alex tightened his grip on Bryana's hair even more.

"Aww ... let me go, Alex. You would go to jail if you did that to me!"

"Hahaha ... you think I'm stupid. Nobody will know if I did this. Goodbye!"

Alex used his sharp knife to penetrate Bryana's stomach. Instantly his wife's eyes widened feeling the pain in her stomach because the knife had penetrated perfectly.

"Arrghh ... You are EVIL!"

That was the only word Bryana could say during the pain. The pain was getting worse when the knife that was stuck in her stomach was pulled back by Alex.

Before the blood was about to stain the car, Alex looked around to make sure things were really quiet. He immediately opened the car door and pushed Bryana just like that until she fell onto the asphalt. after that, he closed the car again and immediately drove it home to perform a play so that it was not found out that he was the one who killed Bryana.
