Dominic arrived back at his apartment an hour later, having gone to see Radella's parents and in-laws to warn Jessica. He wasn't sure if his ex-fiancée would just back off from pursuing him again, but at least he had tried.
"Honey, sorry. I was gone too long. I just went to calm down," he said, trying to lie about going to Radella's parents' house.
"Are you feeling better, Dominic? If not, it's better if we don't talk about the incident that happened between me and Jessica in the cafe this afternoon," Radella said, trying to calm him down.
"That seems like a good idea. Because I think it's better if we don't talk about it anymore. Just concentrate on our household, Radella," Dominic replied with a smile.
"All right, if that's what you want. We don't need to discuss it anymore. So, what do we want to talk about now?" Radella asked him.
"All I want to do now is sleep. Really, I'm very tired, dear Radella," Dominic said again.
"Don't you want to go out and get something to eat? ? Or …"
Can you let me sleep for a while, Radella? Really, I'm very tired after all that driving," Dominic said without hesitation.
It was not without reason that Dominic said this. The unpleasant incident between his ex-fiancée and his wife made him feel guilty. Especially for Radella. But he couldn't understand what Jessica really wanted. But he would not let her hurt Radella again.
Dominic was sure that Jessica would never allow her household to be happy with Radella. She would do anything to make his household fall apart. He would never let that happen. For him, Jessica was a thing of the past. Whereas Radella ... She was his future and his happiness.
"I will never let you take away my happiness, Jessica. I will make you miserable if you dare too."

Meanwhile, on another continent.
The figure of a tall, lanky man, typical of the East, is still standing at the window of his flat. One hand was still clutching a flat object and he was staring at the screen of his mobile phone. He sighed slowly and wore a surprised expression when a woman's voice called out to him.
"Arash, how long are you going to keep me quiet like this? I'm tired of waiting for you in this bed," the woman on the bed said, trying to tease him.
Arash walked over to the body of a blonde woman wearing only red lingerie that barely covered her body. He sat down on the side of the bed and kissed her lips, though it was only for a moment.
"I'm sorry, Sherly. I just made contact with this woman. And, you know, she's so arrogant. Thinks she's won because she escaped," she replied, looking frustrated.
"Do you mean Jessica?" asked Sherly, guessing again. Even though she knew the answer was yes.
"Of course. How many women do you think have managed to escape my reach? She's just one of the lucky few who have survived my men's pursuit," Arash said in an annoyed tone.
"So what's your next plan? Are you going to take her back to Paris and do her old job?" the woman asked, still curious.
"Something like that. But first I have to teach him a valuable lesson so that he is deterred and won't repeat his actions," Arash replied, although there was a hint of doubt on his face.
"Hahaha. I can't wait for her to get here. It's been so long since I've touched his skin that I miss it so much," Sherly said, trying to calm the man down. Although it was not her first l desire.
"Calm down, dear Sherly. Surely we will have fun with this ungrateful woman again. I miss her a lot too," Arash said without hesitation, not thinking about the feelings of the woman who was trying to hide her disappointment at the answer that came from the man's lips.
"And you'll forget me when Jessica returns. Aren't you, Arash?" she asked again.
"Don't be too jealous, Sherly. From the beginning, we agreed that this relationship would be limited to mutual needs and no attachments or feelings. So control your mind before you regret it," the man said, reminding Sherly of her true position.
"Don't be too serious, Arash. I'm just joking. Relax, I remember our agreement and I won't break it. Besides, what's the point of having a serious relationship with you if your heart is only for this woman," Sherly replied, trying to smile and not wanting to raise the man's emotions.
"It's good that you understand. Because I don't want to explain and remind you. So don't try my patience in the future, Sherly," he said again.
Both Arash and Sherly were silent in their own thoughts. This made their desire to make love disappear, along with the disturbing feeling that came over them. Especially Sherly. Deep in her heart she was so upset and disappointed by Arash's words.
Without realising it, Sherly fell in love with a man who was her bedmate. At first, she just wanted to play with Arash's figure, which she found so handsome and seductive. Even though he knew at the time that Arash still had feelings for Jessica. Nevertheless, she tried to approach the man who was known as a distributor of beautiful women to be used as entertainers for masculine men who needed warmth in bed.
Sherly was one of the many women Arash sold. But not a rebel like Jessica. She chose to obey for her own safety. Although she wanted to escape and thought about running away from this place, she didn't have the courage. For she knew that many women had died just for the stupid act of running away from Arash's supervision.
Sherly chose to be Arash's pleasure while Jessica struggled with her clients. Unfortunately, Arash never thought of her as a lover. As Arash said, she was just a bedmate for him. And it would stay that way forever. Arash had fallen in love with Jessica.
Unfortunately, Sherly could not replace Jessica in Arash's heart. Though the man continued to deny it, he could not lie to the eyes that implied a longing for the woman who had enveloped Sherly in the flames of jealousy.
"Why didn't Jessica just die when I helped her out of this place? It's so hard for me to take her place in Arash's heart. And that makes me hate you so much, Jessica," Sherly could only say deeply.
Sherly had never been a priority. She was just a backup when Arash was bored and wanted something new in sex. And only she could give Arash that satisfaction. That's because the man who now stood in front of her always favoured her, apart from Jessica of course. But she didn't want to be second. She wanted to have him without any other woman in his heart.
"I have to do something before that woman comes back to get Arash's atte
ntion and jeopardize my position. "
