Ricardo buttoned his shirt while standing in front of a large mirror. Near him were several suitcases filled with his clothes and personal belongings. Today he decided to go to Jakarta to find Wyne. It had been a week in Los Angeles without touching Isala at all.
Then his wife came wearing a sexy nightgown, approached him, and hugged him from behind.
He quickly let go of his wife's embrace, then turned his body to face his wife, staring at her with a sharp gaze. He saw the woman's beautiful body, but it did not tempt him. Not long after, his face broke into a cynical smile, because the body he saw had been enjoyed by many men.
Isala Smith is a hotbed adventurer, making him disgusted. Although he doesn't mind having sex before marriage, it must be done with his lover, not with this man and that man.
Isala smiled, even though she was annoyed. Her husband didn't touch her at all. He only kissed her lips briefly during the wedding party. But she didn't give up, because she fell in love with Ricardo, she had to be able to conquer the man. Her two hands moved to embrace her husband's neck, but Gordon's grandson's strong hands caught them.
"Rick?" Isala was surprised, staring at her husband who looked so coldly at her.
"You-" Ricardo said, "You already got the marriage." He said that Isala had succeeded in getting him to marry the woman, "So, don't try to get more than the legality of being a wife."
Hearing this, Isala gaped.
"What do you mean?"
"I will not give you any affection, Isala." Ricardo answered while roughly slapping his wife's hands away, "You better get out of my room now." His wife threw him out of her dressing room.
Ricardo did not sleep in the same room as Isala, placing his wife in another room far from his room.
"Rick!" Isala quickly grabbed Ricardo's hand, "What did I do wrong?" asked if she had done anything wrong, "I am your wife, why do you treat me coldly?"
"Your mistake-" Ricardo smacked his wife's hand away, "Was whining to your father to make my grandfather agree to match you with me."
Isala was shocked, "That was my fault?"
"That's right." Ricardo smiled faintly, "You know I never liked you, right?" His wife reminded him that he had never been in love with her, "But you insisted on marrying me, and that was a mistake, Isala."
"Why can't you move on from the dead Maria, and like me?"
"I don't like hot bed adventurers, Isala."
Dhuar, Isala was shocked. How did Ricardo know about that?
"Don't be surprised, Isala-" Ricardo smiled sarcastically, "The world knows, Isala Smith is a hotbed adventurer." He said telling her where he found out about his wife's black track record, even though it was all his own making. He found out from Marko's investigation.
Isala's mouth was slightly agape, then, "Isn't a woman like me allowed to marry a man like you?"
"Yes, but not with me."
"Why with you?"
"I am disgusted by women whose bodies have been enjoyed by many men!" Ricardo spoke a little louder, "Now-" his wife pushed him away from him, "Get out of my room!" his wife chased him out again.

Herman sighed as Wyne came into the living room of the pavilion wearing only short-sleeved pajamas, a face without make-up, her hair tied in a ponytail, and a pair of thick glasses perched on the bridge of her nose.
This morning he met Wyne because Ivan said there was an important dinner with a client and he had to bring the lady.
Behind her was Ivan carrying several shopping bags. Then behind the lady followed Sahid.
Both of his eyes were still watching Wyne who was sitting relaxed on the sofa while yawning occasionally.
"Wyn-" his wife reprimanded him, "Did you just wake up?" he then asked.
Wyne turned her gaze to her husband, then smiled slightly.
"Yes, why?"
Herman was stunned, then, "What kind of woman are you to wake up late, hmm?" He rebuked her.
"It's only seven o'clock, Herman, it's still early."
The husband was stunned again because his wife responded casually to his rebuke.
"Enough-" Wyne sighed, "Why are you here?" her husband looked at her, "Didn't you not want to see me? Do you need me? Why didn't you send Ivan to call me?"
Hearing this, the man was stunned for a moment. Why was he the one being scolded by his wife?
Ivan smiled in amusement because Wyne had stabbed Herman. The boss said he would not meet his wife, he would send him to pick up his wife to meet his boss.
Plak!
Wyne's hand slightly patted Herman's arm.
"Hey!" then her voice was heard, "Why are you staring blankly when you ask me?" she scolded her husband who was shocked by the slap earlier.
Herman became irritated, pointing his right index finger upwards while his mouth clicked slightly.
The wife just sighed while shaking her head slightly, feeling that her husband was strange. Asked why he met her, she was just dumbfounded. Reprimanded, she was just annoyed.
"You!" Herman waved his index finger down, holding himself back from getting angry, because Gordon had told him to speak nicely if he was upset with his wife. "You're the wife, Wyne!" he exclaimed in exasperation.
"Then?"
"You should wake up early and dress up nicely."
"For what?" Wyne looked at Herman in surprise, "I'm just a wife on paper, right?" she added, reminding him of her status.
Herman was again irritated but held it back by squeezing the fingers of his right hand.
"Wyne!" he spoke again, "Despite your status, you have to wake up early and dress up!" he said, setting the rules, "Because I can see you anytime!"
"You don't need to see me-" Wyne spoke casually, "Just send Ivan to bring me to you."
Hearing this, Herman's mouth dropped open again. Was this the Wyne that Susan called obedient and fearful?
Ivan slightly rubbed his nose, feeling amused because the boss was confused about facing Wyne who was said to be obedient and fearful. Even though the boss had seen the brave and fighter princess on her wedding day a week ago.
Sahid smiled a little sarcastically because Wyne made Herman annoyed.
"Enough, enough-" Wyne spoke again, "What did you come here for, hmm?" then asked Herman what he needed to see her for.
Herman sighed as he stroked his chest, "Tonight-" he spoke softly, "I was invited to an important banquet."
"Then?"
"You came because of my wife."
"Should I?"
"You have to, Wyne!"
"No need, because you think I'm a country bumpkin."
Dhuar, Herman was shocked and then scratched his forehead.
"Ivan-!" finally called Ivan in a slightly loud voice. "Ivan!"
Ivan smiled amusedly, approached by the nervous boss.
"I am, sir."
"You gave those things to Wyn."
"Yes, sir." Ivan nodded his head, then put all the bags on the table right in front of Wyne, "Madam-" reprimanded the lady who was surprised to see all that, "Mr. Herman has chosen a beautiful party dress for you." He said taking out a box and showing its contents which was a sexy red dress.
Wyne looked at the dress, and sighed, "Ivan!" called Ivan, "Tell your master-" pointing at Herman, "I don't want this dress."
"Why is that?" Herman quickly asked, "The dress suits you."
Wyne was stunned, looked at by her husband, "Are you drunk? A sexy red dress suits me? It suits Susan. She likes to wear sexy red dresses."
Dhuar, Herman was hit again. Yesterday when he was shopping, he chose the dress because he imagined Susan wearing it.
"Ugh!" he exclaimed in annoyance, "So, what kind of dress do you want?" his wife glared at him in annoyance.
"You bring some dresses, I'll choose later."
"You can't, because you will choose the same style of clothes as you have been wearing all this time."
"Stop complaining!" Wyne became irritated, "Just bring what I asked for. Don't worry, I won't embarrass you at the banquet."
***
Wyne put her expensive bag on the desk in the Scoot Clinic CEO's office. After Herman left, she went to the clinic to do all her duties that were more than the CEO and doctor. And when she was far from her husband, she didn't wear thick glasses, because both of her eyes were healthy.
Sahid behind her just smiled, because Wyne looked upset. After all, Herman came. If the lady's heart is hurt, she won't act sweet.
After the bag was placed on the table, he sat on his chair, took a cigarette and lit it with a lighter, then looked at Sahid.
"Sahid!"
"I am, Miss." Sahid quickly opened the tablet of the lady's work agenda that he had been holding, "This morning you-" he began to read out his boss's activities.
"Sahid!" Wyne quickly stopped him, "I didn't call you to know what I did today!" She scolded him who stopped reading.
"So, what do you want me to do?"
"Is there any information about what Emily and Herman are doing?" she asked Sahid to spread spies into Herman's house, the Elmer Group office in Jakarta and Singapore, to monitor her husband and in-laws.
Sahid sighed, "Miss, Mrs. Emily wants Mr. Herman to eliminate Mr. Aldiano and Miss Lisa so that you don't find out."
