Tired from discussing important points in their marriage all night, Vino and Vira fell asleep on the sofa.
Click!
The sound of the main door opening, followed by footsteps with an alert tone.
"Why is the door open? What about the security of this building?" A man's deep voice sounded low.
"Everything is safe, sir. There's no crime problem here." Another voice answered politely.
"You should set an alarm so the building's occupants can be more alert when they forget to close the door." The deep voice instructed.
"Yes, sir," came the response.
"Alright then. I'll go in; you take care of all the other things!" The deep voice commanded.
The sound of footsteps grew louder.
Vira frowned. She felt something was disturbing her sleep, but she still wanted to enjoy the warmth of her bed.
The footsteps grew louder and closer. Vira had no choice but to open her eyes. She didn't see the mattress beneath her but rather... a muscular chest with half-open shirt buttons.
Her eyes immediately widened. She raised her head, and her beautiful face froze in shock when she realized who she had been lying on all night.
"Oh my God!" She hissed softly while wiping her messy hair. "How could I sleep while hugging him?" She could hardly believe it.
She tried to remember what had happened last night.
She nodded slightly, looking at the paper on the table, which contained the important points they had agreed upon during their wedding.
She took the paper and began reading slowly.
"Vino will pay for all my college expenses until graduation, as long as I give birth to his child within a maximum of three years!" She sighed, glancing at her husband, who was still fast asleep with his face up.
"Rich but greedy man. He's annoying! All he thinks about is money, power, and wealth. I don't want my son to live with someone like him!" She muttered to herself.
She murmured heavily, "After all, who would want to get pregnant with him?" Her gaze lingered on Vino's handsome face.
Vira raised her hands, intending to put a cushion on Vino's head, which was positioned uncomfortably.
Tap!
The sound of shiny shoes startled Vira. Someone had entered the living room uninvited.
She turned and let go of Vino's head, causing it to hit the back of the chair.
Vino grimaced in pain from the impact, but he couldn't protest because someone had joined them this morning.
"I'm sorry, young master, young lady, I walked in without your permission. I thought someone might have sneaked into your apartment."
Vira recognized the face. They had met before.
Vino arched his brows, still rubbing the back of his sore head. "What do you want, Secretary Han?" he asked unfriendly.
Vino noticed the marriage contract sheet on the table and immediately grabbed it, hiding it under his butt.
Vira was surprised by her husband's behavior.
"Ish, at least you could find a more decent place!" Vira hissed, annoyed at seeing the paper they had discussed all night now hidden under her husband's backside.
Vino didn't care. He was more focused on Secretary Han's presence.
"What do you want?" Vino asked again.
Secretary Han bowed. "Mr. Broto asked me to deliver a wedding gift for you. But since it was too late yesterday, and I didn't want to disturb you, I decided to bring it this morning."
Vino nodded slightly. "He already mentioned it on the phone. Just bring the gift in." While standing and stretching his arms, he intended to leave the living room. But once again, he remembered the sheet he had hidden and quickly grabbed it, looking worried.
"Nothing special about the gift. I just want my inheritance!" Vino hissed hopefully.
"Bring all the presents," Secretary Han said.
One by one, the boxes were placed on the floor.
"Oh yes, sir, there's a letter from your father!"
Secretary Han handed Vino a message from his boss.
"He can speak and call me, but why send a letter?" Vino hissed lazily. But he took the letter and began reading his father's handwriting.
~Dear my son Vino,
Reading the letterhead gave Vino goosebumps. "I feel bad," he hissed suspiciously.
~I've sent a special gift for you and your wife. This is a word of love from a father and his wife. Your new mother is a very seductive woman.
Vino's eyes rolled. "You old bastard!" he hissed.
Seeing her husband's facial expressions, which shifted between varied and attractive, Vira became curious about the contents of Mr. Broto's message. She approached her husband and began reading along.
~This is the best product ever in this world. Eel extract. You'll need a lot of energy to 'pump up' every night. I've been consuming this for a long time, and I recommend it!
Vira raised an eyebrow. "What does eel extract have to do with 'pumping'?" she asked innocently.
Vino was surprised by his wife's voice, realizing she had been there all along.
"Mm... it's an organic multivitamin!" Vino quickly replied, concocting an explanation.
"Can I consume it too?" his wife asked again.
"He, he, he, I'm just going to throw all of this in the trash!" Vino's cringe laugh, mixed with embarrassment and annoyance, filled the air. "I'll make breakfast. Just let them do their job!" He tried to escape.
"Young lady, everything's been added. Ah, this is different; it's all in the box, but this is in a shopping bag. I think this is special for you," Secretary Han said, handing a bag to Vira.
"For me?" Vira asked, confused. She was happy because she received a special gift from Broto.
"Thank you very much, Mr. Han!" Vira replied kindly, unlike Han, whose stiff facial expression remained robotic.
"It's all done. I have to go!" Han said before leaving.
Vira escorted Han to the door, thanking him once again.
She was surprised by the number of boxes Broto had given as their wedding gift.
"I didn't think your father was this generous. He gave you a wedding gift and congratulated you," she spoke to herself, not quite believing her husband's words.
"Never mind. Sometimes family relationships are complicated!" she added, then became curious about the contents of the shopping bag in her hand.
"Let's see what I got from my father-in-law!" she whispered happily.
Her happy face stiffened when she found out what was inside the shopping bag.
Not hearing his wife's voice anymore, Vino became suspicious.
"Vira, what do you want for breakfast? Let me make it all!" He called from the kitchen while putting on an apron.
"Viraaaaaaa!!" Vino shouted, growing more worried as he didn't hear his wife's voice.
When he went to check on her, an object landed on his face.
"What is this?" he whispered irritably, grabbing the red object that had hit him.
"What is this? Why do you have all this?" Vino asked, his blood boiling.
Vira turned into a statue.
****
Cyntia had just cleaned herself up after four hours of soaking in the bath. Her lips parted as she imagined what would happen tonight.
"Surely my daddy Broto will be blown away," she whispered shyly.
Her hand slowly reached into the contents of the paper bag that had just been sent to her home address.
She pulled out the contents slowly, her face blushing as she imagined herself in the sexy new lingerie.
When she realized she wasn't holding the limited edition lingerie she had wanted, her face immediately lost its blush.
"Where are my things?!" she shouted, disappointed.
