Second Marriage: My Strongest Bodyguard

At seven o'clock in the evening, Bryana and Dean had a visitor they didn't expect. The guests were Johnny and Soraya with their son who was about eight months old. They had heard about Fin's kidnapping of Bryana which turned out to be covered by a social media news page.

They are currently in the playroom. Bryana and Soraya sat on the sofa enjoying tea and snacks served by Susan, while Dean and Johnny took their babies to play among the many small balls and other toys.

"I didn't think you'd always be the target of kidnapping," Soraya muttered, looking pityingly at Bryana, who still had bruises on the corners of her lips and temples. She also saw that her best friend's foot and arms were still bandaged.

"I also never wanted a situation like this, Soraya. Everything just happened they did without thinking about how I felt, they were all selfish, they hurt me ..." Bryana said sadly. The blank stares turned to her husband and her best friend's husband who were playing with their children.

"Hopefully nothing like this happens again. Seeing you like this makes me sad." Soraya tapped Bryana's shoulder. "Looks like you need to be refreshed so you can move on from what happened yesterday."

"Refreshing where? My body still hurts."

"Actually, what did that man do to you. Why did you get battered, sore, even injured your legs and arms?" asked Soraya.

"I hit his head with a glass until it shattered and the glass shards hit my hands and feet. I managed to escape from his room for a few minutes but the bodyguard found me and I went back to his room," Bryana explained as she leaned back on the sofa while her hands hugged the pillow.

"Then, what did he do after you were in his room?" asked Soraya.

"He insisted on staining me again. I refused, he sat on my stomach and I struggled until he annoyed me slapped me a few times and I passed out ..."

Soraya was astonished as if she couldn't believe it and shuddered at the thought of what had happened to Bryana yesterday. "What did he do after you passed out?"

Bryana just shook her head

Soraya glanced at who was still busy chatting with her husband. She looked back at Bryana and whispered, "Did that guy manage to... stain you?"

"No, but he's managed to rip my top and he almost touched my valuable asset. Luckily at that time, Dean came and immediately beat him until he was helpless," Bryana explained. She explained all the events yesterday where Alex also tried to help her, and she also tried to help Dean who was fighting over a gun with Fin.

"It's amazing ... You are also great because you managed to paralyze him in one hit," said Soraya, staring in awe at Bryana.

"Anyone might faint if hit by a table lamp like that. I'm even afraid if he dies and I will go to prison," Bryana said then took a cup of tea and drank it immediately.

"You will not be imprisoned for doing that in self-defense. What you are doing is right because otherwise, the consequences will be very fatal," said Soraya and then also drank her tea little by little.

At another place

Anna was confused because Haikal kept crying for his father. They are at home only with Sinta. Elsa went somewhere picked up by Carlos.

The babysitter and the maid had tried to calm the employer's child by giving him toys, snacks, and milk, but all of that was meaningless because what the boy wanted was his father.

"Anna, you should take him to the hospital to see Mr. Alex. It seems that there is no other way than that, he must be doing this because he missed his let alone the last time he saw him in such a weak state, right?" Sinta tries to come up with a solution. She was holding Haikal while Anna rested by sitting on the sofa.

"What if Mrs. Elsa finds out? We'll be fired for sure." Anna looked doubtful.

"It's better to be fired than to continue to be an assistant here because he is very fierce," said Sinta.

"If I get fired I can't take care of Haikal anymore. I need this job, even I already love Haikal like my own child. Mr. Alex also advised me to always take care of him until he recovers and manages to get custody of him after the divorce later," said Anna in a huff.

"Da da... Da... Da...!" Haikal cried again and said as best he could because he wasn't very good at speaking.

"Never mind ... we will think about that problem later. Most importantly, you take him to the hospital to see Mr. Alex. I will guard the house and look for any excuses if Mrs. Elsa finds out what we are doing," said Sinta while looking at Haikal who was wearing a red suit with an animated cat and mouse character.

"Okay then I'll get ready," said Anna then got up from the sofa. She rushed to Haikal's room to get some things she always carried, then went to his private room to change into more polite clothes and took the money to pay the taxi fare.

Carlos led Elsa to a dimly lit restaurant with orange lights and there were only the two of them in the restaurant. He deliberately invites her for a romantic dinner because he wants to win her heart, making him even more convinced to marry her.

"You don't have to bother giving surprises like this, Carlos. Since yesterday, you've made it hard for me to speak because of the surprise you gave," Elsa said with a smile. She looked sexy wearing a black overalls dress above the knees with open shoulders and let her hair loose neatly.

"I'm doing this to make you happy, Elsa. Because if you're happy, I'm so relieved," Carlos said as he poured champagne into a pretty glass.

"A breakup always leaves a wound, and you are there to heal that wound...thank you."

"I did and . . ." Carlos reached into his tuxedo pocket for something. It was a small red luxury box with a transparent glass lid, a diamond ring with blue gems in it.

Carlos opened the box then handed it to Elsa. "Hopefully you like it."

"Is this for me?" Elsa asked looking radiant.

"Of course. This is for you because I showed it only to you," Carlos replied with a smile then grabbed Elsa's right hand. He saw that the woman's ring finger was still wearing her wedding ring. "Can I take it off and replace it with a ring from me?" he asked.

"Eh, of course. Because this ring has to be removed," Elsa replied then took off her wedding ring with Alex. She easily let go of it, even though Alex had done a lot for her, to make her happy. But now she's let it go for the bastard who's a clear traitor. Ah, but they are indeed suitable because they are both traitors. But, maybe will soon get a reply from God.

Carlos immediately paired the diamond ring he bought at an exorbitant price specifically for Elsa. Elsa, who was always crazy about luxury, happily accepted the ring, looking at it beautifully placed on her ring finger.. She didn't even remember her son being cranky at home just because of that unexpected gift.
