Second Marriage: My Strongest Bodyguard

At 3 pm, Bryana came out of the mall with Monica and Louis who brought the groceries she had bought while Dany waited outside. She is still always guarded by the Bodyguard, even more tightly because Raymond suspects that Gustave is targeting to kill Bryana and Calvin.

"After this, we have to the old Dean's house," Bryana said flatly.

"The house where Sofia's birthday is celebrating?" asked Louis.

"No," said Bryan.

"I'll show you. I still remember the address of the house," said Monica, who remembered delivering clothes for Bryana and Dean at Dean's old house.

Bryana just kept quiet and got into the car, as did Monica and the others until everything was ready, Dany immediately headed for the house that Monica would show as a guide.

During the trip, Bryana was silent. Sometimes, she took a deep breath and then exhaled slowly. Her breath was getting tighter because her pregnancy was getting older, entering the age of eight months.

"Are you alright?" Monica asked, glancing at Bryana who looked uncomfortable.

"It's okay, I just feel suffocated," Bryana replied with a flat look. She couldn't hide the sadness on her face because she was both worried and missing Dean. 'May he be in that house, and willing to come home with me . . . or I will live with him in simplicity because he does not want the riches of my dad which is also mine,' she thought.

Elsewhere, Dean is training at the training ground with Niko and Mike, and other athletes are also training in the kick-boxing training building which has several rooms where there are several rooms with floor mats, providing complete facilities for training such as boxing gloves, bags, and others.

Bughh... Bughhh

Dean punched the hanging bag fiercely. He imagined that the object in front of him was James who had taken Clarissa's life, thinking that Stevan and Gustave were the ones who had fooled him.

The man was already very sweaty, but he looked even more manly and violent with his thick beard because he had never shaved while away.

"He looks like he's beating people up, and his technique is cool. . I'm sure he can fight contestants from abroad who will be the final opponents later," Mike muttered with a satisfied smile looking at Dean from a distance.

"I feel sorry for him. He does that because he expresses his emotions in his complicated life story," said Niko, who already knew all about Dean's problems, because Dean had explained everything this morning with Mike too.

"But he was lucky, to have two beautiful and rich women in his lifetime."

"That's only natural because he's handsome." Niko brushed his hair and said, "I will change my hairstyle like his. Maybe I will look more handsome."

Mike immediately chuckled and patted Niko's shoulder. "You wouldn't be like him. You're nearly half as skinny."

Niko sighed and crossed his arms, leaning his shoulder against the metallic wall that dominated the color of the building's walls. "I'll ask for money to buy bodybuilding supplements if he wins."

"You get 20 percent and the rest for me." Mike was getting selfish.

"I don't agree, because we will divide equally," said Niko curtly. "We are 30 percent each and he is 40 percent because he is the one competing."

"He said he didn't need the money," Mike exclaimed, glancing at Dean, who was wiping his sweaty body with a small towel.

Niko was silent and approached Dean who was about to rest, then Mike followed him.

"I want to go home," Dean said after downing half a bottle of mineral water.

"Going back to your house? Oh no, you have to fight first. Do it for me!" Mike looked worried.

dean smirked glancing at Mike. "I mean, I want to go back to your rented house because I need to rest before the competition. That's more important because continuing to train will make me lose a lot of energy," he explained.

"Dean, I hope you will return to your home after this match," Niko exclaimed.

"I don't know," Dean said, walking lazily toward the exit of the building. he still feels indecisive and wants peace first, because he doesn't want to hate or hurt Bryana because he's still always thinking about the events of Clarissa's death involving Stevan.

Arriving at Dean's old house, Bryana immediately got off and walked towards the minimalist European-style house followed by Monica and Louis.

"The house is tightly closed. I don't think he's here," Monica muttered, glancing at the locked door.

Bryana just stayed silent with a tinge of sadness on her face, her heart was getting sicker and her body felt weak because she didn't find Dean in that historic house.

"Would you like to come in, ma'am," asked Louis.

"Locked. We won't be able to get in," Bryana whispered.

"I'll open it if you want to come in," said Louis who pities Bryana.

Bryana finally nodded in agreement and let Louis try to open the door with an emergency technique using a small object he took from his trouser pocket, while Monica and Dany chose to stare at the atmosphere around the house looking overgrown with weeds.

Check...

finally, the door opened. Louis immediately let Bryana in, followed by Monica while he waited outside with Dany.

Bryana walked slowly through the living room until she arrived at the living room which was furnished with typical European antique furniture but was a bit dusty because it had not been cleaned for a long time. She walked into the room, then opened the door to the room.

"This is a European house in Indonesia," Monica muttered as she followed Bryana.

Bryana silently stared at the bed which was still attached with white mosquito nets which became a silent witness to the first night between her and Dean making love and stepping together as husband and wife, promising to forget each other's past by carving new memories on the bed. it's with their love journey.

"This room hasn't even changed a bit," Bryana muttered as she walked over to the bed and sat down on the edge. She felt the bed and remembered how Dean had made sweet promises when making love to her. the memory was still lingering and still sunny. She didn't feel the tears dripping from my eyes.

'Are you going to forget that promise and never come back? I miss you so much, Dean. Don't be gone too long... I'm almost crazy without you,' she thought as she sobbed.

Monica sighed, approaching Bryana who was crying again. "Bryana..whatever you're feeling, I know it's very sad, but you have to believe he will come back to you."

"I miss him so much, Monica. Here, he promised to be so sweet, would never leave me and would forget the past, carve beautiful memories with me every time, but he left without thinking about what I felt." Bryana's tears broke even more she was getting tired and annoyed at Dean's attitude of not thinking about her feelings, not even remembering that she was pregnant with his child.

"I don't know, why did he become an Asshole over this matter? I don't even want to be in this disgusting problem either!" Bryana raged, took the existing pillows, and threw them on the floor indiscriminately.
