"You take it easy, trust me Big Boss won't demand anything. He is a person who does not need the help of others. One thing you have to remember, Big Boss hates women because his mother once betrayed his father and left him. That's why I don't mind if you have a contract marriage with him, because he won't want to touch you. He also won't demand you have sex or anything like that, let alone fall in love. He doesn't believe in love, so he can't possibly love you and vice versa. So, what's the problem? You just have to pretend to be his wife without having to do anything, and we can make a lot of money. After your marriage contract is over, then we can get married right away, what do you think?" asked Rafael, apparently he is very good at persuading and seducing women's hearts.
Felicia, who initially insisted on refusing, is now starting to accept it, in her heart she justifies everything that Rafael said because it's all facts even though she doesn't know what will happen in the end.
At first Felicia didn't think about it, because she also just found out the other side of Alano, known as the Mafia Boss, apparently hates women and doesn't believe in love. That means she doesn't have to be afraid that Alano will do anything wrong, because she will only be a contract wife without having to serve him or anything.
"I think you're right, we can make a lot of money just doing that," Felici muttered.
"So how? Does that mean you agree?" asked Rafael very enthusiastically, he didn't expect that his persuasion had succeeded in influencing Felicia
"Yes, I agree. But you have to promise me that you will marry me after my contract marriage with Big Boss is over," Felicia made an offer.
Rafael immediately agreed because he couldn't wait to get a lot of money from Alano, "Yeah you calm down, I will definitely marry you right away. Come on, now let's go back inside and meet Big Boss to take care of the contract," said Rafael.
Rafael invites Felicia back into Alano's room because Big Boss is still waiting for them inside. When they reached the door, Felicia stopped in her tracks.
"What's the matter, Fel?" asked Raphael.
"Rafael, you won't betray me, will you? You won't break your promise to me, will you?" Felicia confirmed again because she was afraid that Rafael was just using her to get money.
Rafael held Felicia's hand, he looked at his lover with a loving gaze, then he said, "Don't be afraid, honey. I will never betray you, I will keep my promise, I will marry you immediately after the contract is over. So you take it easy."
"Honestly, I was scared, Rafael. I'm afraid you're cheating on me and you make an affair with the other girl. All this time I've always been beside you, but you're still often making love and having sex with many women, what if I'm not by your side? I don't know if this will work," said Felicia, looking down as she held back her tears.
"Honey, trust me, everything will be fine, consider you to do this as a form of your sacrifice for our love. I will not cheat because I love you so much," said Rafael, even though in his heart he kept grumbling because he was afraid that Big Boss would change his mind.
Felicia was still silent, she wasn't sure that Rafael would keep his promise, but she also had no other choice because if she refused, then Rafael might not marry her forever.
"Come on, baby. Big Boss must have waited a long time, we can't let him wait any longer," Rafael immediately led Felicia inside.
When they entered, Alano was still sitting drinking his red wine. He only smiled sarcastically when he saw Felicia coming back with Rafael. In his heart, Alano said, "All women are the same, crazy for money, crazy for wealth, and can't see other men who are more handsome than their partners. Women are usually selfish and pretend not to want to at first, but in her heart, she is very happy."
Alano sneered, he thought all women were the same. They are willing to leave their partners for other men who are richer, more handsome, and more everything.
"What are you doing here again?" Alano asked pretending not to know.
"Big Boss, Felicia has agreed to contract marriage with you. So haven't you changed your mind?" Rafael asked back, while Felicia just silently looked down behind Rafael.
"So that woman is ready to marry me?" Alano laughed mockingly because Felicia had rejected him before.
"Why are you acting like you're mocking me?" Felicia snapped she was watching the movements of the man who would soon become her husband.
"Fel, don't say things like that, we have to respect Big Boss," whispered Rafael warning his girlfriend to be careful with his boss.
"I don't like small talk, straight to the point," said Alano coldly. He wasn't the kind of person who liked to argue incoherently with stupid women like that.
"Yes, Big Boss. Maybe we can talk about the contract immediately," Rafael interrupted before Felicia raised her voice again.
"Sit down, before I completely change my mind because of that woman's attitude," said Alano.
Rafael complied, he also told Felicia to sit beside him. Rafael already understood how Alano behaved, how cruel he was, so Rafael obeyed everything that was ordered by Alano.
Meanwhile, Felicia didn't know Alano at all, so she didn't feel the slightest bit afraid of Alano, even though Felicia knew that Alano was a Mafia Boss who always dealt with violence.
"Listen to me, don't talk until I'm done talking. I have prepared the form of the contract, what to do and what not to do. First, this contract will run for 6 months, after that the contract expires and automatically you are not my wife anymore. Second, there is no physical contact. Don't ever dare to touch me because I will never touch you either, we are only husband and wife on a contract," Alano began to explain one by one the points contained in the contract.
The next is Felicia's obligation as long as she is Alano's wife, Felicia must follow all of Alano's orders, whatever it is. If Felicia was unable to endure or refused one of his orders, then the contract was void and Felicia had to return all the money she had received from Alano.
Fourth, Felicia can only be sweet when she is in front of Alano's father, the rest Felicia must be respectful to Alano, just like the rest of his subordinates.
Lastly, don't ever interfere in Alano's affairs, whatever it is. Especially about his dark business. Felicia also had to keep this secret from everyone, Alano would also keep everything about Felicia and this contract marriage a secret especially from his enemies.
Alano's pride will be destroyed if his enemy finds out that Alano has a wife, they will think of Alano as a person who is only good at talking, but the reality is different because they know that Alano hates women.
"I'm doing this only for my father, not because I want to get married. You probably already know that I don't believe in love at all and I also hate women, you have to be strong to face all my treatment of you, no matter what your attitude is, you have to obey. Because you're a slave when you're with me," Alano ended his speech.
Of course, Felicia did not accept it because all the points stated in the agreement were favorable to Alano, while Felicia was not given the freedom to oppose, refute, or voice her opinion. She always had to obey all of Alano's orders, and this was unfair to Felicia.
"What the fuck! This is unfair, the contract marriage means the contract has to be profitable for both parties. What do I get by being your contract wife for 6 months?" Felicia argued.
"I know where your words are going, you must be asking for more money, right? Because all women are crazy money. You take it easy apart from the reward I gave Rafael, I will also guarantee all your needs while being my wife, I will give you a lot of money, and I will also give you more rewards than Rafael if you can complete this contract, but if you don't then You have to return all the money you got from me, otherwise your life and Rafael will be at stake," said Alano while drinking a small amount of his red wine.
"You're crazy! I think you're crazy, you think I'm something you can buy with money? No, I still have my pride and I'm not crazy like you," snapped Felicia.
"Whatever, I never force anyone to cooperate with me, if you don't want to, the exit is still wide open." Alano pointed at the gold-plated door.
"No, Big Boss. Felicia agreed, she was just surprised, but actually, she agreed," said Rafael, indeed he was the only one who was very enthusiastic from the start.
"Yeah, you agree, don't you, Fell?" Raphael asked with a wink.
"Rafael, don't be crazy!" Felicia argued.
"She agrees, trust me if she agrees, come here and let me come to this contract. Let's just say I'm his guardian," said Rafael as he picked up the pen on the table.
"No, I want the woman to sign it herself," said Alano.
Rafael took a deep breath, even though he was one step away from being rich, it was only a matter of signing, but Felicia was very difficult to do that.
"Come on, Feli. You already said that if you agree, hurry up and sign here. Fel, otherwise I'll be angry with you forever, and I'll never want to know you again," a death threat was already out of Rafael's mouth to make Felicia sign the contract.
Felicia was wide-eyed, she didn't understand why Rafael was going crazy for treasure like this. But Felicia also couldn't imagine her life without Rafael, finally, she was forced to sign the contract.
"Okay, for your sake. Only for the sake of you, I want to accept this contract, because I love you, "said Felicia.
"Yes, honey. I know, and I'm very grateful to you. I am proud to have a girlfriend who is willing to sacrifice for our love, you take it easy, I will make you happy after this, "Raphael replied.
"I believe in you," said Felicia, with trembling hands she signed the contract that Alano had provided. After this, his new life will begin soon and the one who will fill his days later is no longer Rafael but Alano. She also doesn't know what obstacles she will face in the future, what if Alano does something bad to her? She also did not know what trouble would befall her. But Felicia will stay strong for her love for Rafael.
While Rafael is very happy because soon he will be crazy rich, he will have a lot of money that will not run out in one year. Apart from that, he was also able to earn more money over the next few months. Rafael did love Felicia, but his love for Felicia was no greater than his love for money. He is realistic that living in this world requires more money than just love. After all, Rafael will get Felicia back after 6 months, no problem right?
"Alright, the contract has been signed. Rafael, tell your friends that this task is done, you also have to immediately prepare for my wedding. And for you, tomorrow I will take you to meet my father, you must look beautiful because I don't want my taste to be looked down upon by my father. You have to be able to pretend to be a woman who loves me, don't let my father know about this. I think everything is clear, you can go," said Alano.
"Okay, Big Boss. I will carry out everything you command, but regarding the fee How about?" asked Raphael.
"Don't worry, I will immediately give the money to you after my father agrees to it tomorrow," Alano replied.
"Okay, Big Boss. Then I'll go home first," Rafael said goodbye, he invited Felicia to go home. Felicia just silently obeyed, although her face could see that she was very sad and disappointed by all of this.
