nLisa was amazed when her husband asked that. She could feel the jealousy behind his sentence.

"Are you spying on me again, Oscar?

"

n

"You think I'll let you hang around the nights with a man I don't know?

" He added sharply.

n

"I've told you thousands of times, Rangga is my childhood friend. I already consider him like my own brother!

"

n

"Don't lie to me Lisa. I know everything!

"

n

"Listen here, Caucasian. Whenever I ask you if you still love Clara, you always evade my questions! It's not fair! I've even told you a thousand times that Rangga and I have nothing to do with each other except being good friends!

"

nOscar was silent for a moment. The man turned his red face, embarrassed to hear what Lisa said about Clara.

nLisa ignored her husband. The woman walked hastily to the second floor. When Oscar sensed he was being ignored, he rushed after his wife.

nThe man followed Lisa's steps and came closer. He lowered his body a little so that Lisa could hear his voice.

"Is this the reason why you really want to divorce me, Lisa?

"

nHearing that felt like her heart was stabbed by hundreds of daggers. Lisa repeatedly caught her husband alone with Clara, but Oscar still denied her accusations. Talking to him was pointless. The man would not listen and understand her.

nThe woman walked into the room and slammed the door right in Oscar's face.

nThere was a sound of the key clicking from behind the door.

nThe man didn't flinch. Their contention fell silent in an instant.

nInside, Lisa laid down on the bed, sobbing. Her marriage to Oscar was completely destroyed. Their love was non-existent from the start.

nLisa felt so stupid by accepting a Oscar's marriage proposal from that time.

nHad it not been for the child she was carrying, she would not have possibly married this man of European descent.

nNow that she had lost her baby, her marriage lost its meaning too.

nThe sound of the door tapping softly broke the silence. Lisa turned and looked at the locked door.

n

"Get away, Oscar! I don't want to talk to you!

" Lisa shouted with sobs.

n

"Lisa, let me in. I want to talk to you,

" Oscar asked.

nLisa ignored her husband. She just wanted to lament the bad luck of marrying a foreign man and messed up everything.

n

"Lisa, please. It's about Clara.

" The man pleaded once more, hoping his wife would let him in.

nHearing that, Lisa immediately got out of bed and unlocked the door. She looked at the 190 cm man with a sharp glint and a face filled with tears.

n

"What? So you finally want to confess now?

" Lisa asked coldly.

nOscar's hand gently touched his wife's shoulder and invited her to come in and sit together.

n

"Lisa,

" Oscar said softly.

"I know you will punish me when I tell the truth. And I'm not ready to accept the consequences,

"

n

"Never mind, Oscar. Just admit that you had an affair with Clara.

"

n

"The word affair doesn't sound right when you use it to describe my relationship with Clara,

" Oscar said firmly.

nLisa was silent, trying to listen to her husband's explanation.

n

"I don't love Clara. Absolutely not. Our love ran aground 5 years ago.

"

n

"Then why did Andien see you come home with Clara?

" Lisa asked suspiciously.

n

"This is what I want to tell you,

" the man brought his face closer to Lisa's tiny face.

"Clara is just a substitute—

"

nHearing this sentence, Lisa was so shocked that she slapped Oscar hard on the cheek. The man then held his cheek that was flushed and sore.

n

"Son of a bitch! Turns out you really are a dirty scumbag!

" Lisa shouted until her voice boomed across the room.

nLisa felt pain all over her body. All this time, she had been married to a man with such abhorrent traits!

n

"Lisa, calm down! Listen to me first!

"

n

"How can I not hurt Oscar? You disgust me more than cheaters!

"

nLisa hit her husband with a broken heart. The man gripped Lisa's hands so as not to injure her. The woman then struggled in her husband's grip.

n

"Lisa, calm down! I'm not done talking!

"

n

"Bastard! Let me go!

n

"You didn't love me from the start, Oscar! You married me so that your reputation won't get destroyed in the eyes of Indonesians, right? You did it so your company can come out clean!

" Lisa shouted while still struggling.

n

"That's not it Lisa, please listen to me. Lisa shut up!

"

nThe screams were so deafening that they could be heard from the first floor. Lisa was a little scared. The woman then kept quiet and calmed down.

n

"This is what makes me reluctant to discuss it every time you ask, Lisa!

"

nLisa glanced at Oscar, their eyes meeting each other.

"Hurry up, I'm listening now!

"

nOscar took a deep breath while blinking. The man looked down again so that his gaze was level with Lisa's.

nHe spoke up.

n

"Do you still remember when we made love at the Sky Lounge? At that time, I just wanted to satisfy my sexual desire because it was very difficult for me to control it. I did not think that I'd meet you the day my father retired.

"

n

"But at that time, you said you already know me from the story your father told you, right?

"

n

"I lied, Lisa! I didn't recognize you at the Sky Lounge! I lied to you so you would accept my marriage proposal. Papa often tells me about his talented young employees, so that someday when the time comes for me to take his place, I can lead the company and choose the right candidate as my secretary!

"

n

"Oscar, you don't love me at all.

"

n

"At first, not really. But over time, after we got married, I felt something that I have never felt before!

"

n

"You married me because I was pregnant. Am I wrong? You ** boy!

" Lisa scoffed with disgust.

n

"I know Lisa, I'm a pathetic man. I can't hold back my sexual desires. This is my dark side that you don't know yet.

"

nLisa fell silent. She felt very betrayed. Her marriage to the president of the capital's largest and most famous telecommunication company turned out to be a fake.

n

"Okay, since you already admit how lame you are, I want us to divorce in return,

" Lisa said firmly.

"Besides, the child I was carrying is no longer there. Our marriage has no meaning anymore.

"

n

"Lisa ... Please, I still love you

"

n

"Bull**! Even though we are still married, you and your genitals will still roam around looking for women other than me to satisfy your unstoppable desire!

"

n

"Lisa please, I don't want a divorce!

" Oscar asked with a pained face. This was the first time that he showed his gentle side to Lisa.

n

"No, I've made up my mind. I want a divorce. After we divorce, you can play with the immoral women as you like!

" Lisa scoffed condescendingly.

"Just use Clara as much as you like. Use her the way you used you to satisfy your desires, Oscar!

"

nOscar fell silent. The man was completely at a loss for words.

nLisa got up from her seat. She grabbed the pillow and blanket off the bed and headed for the door.

n

"Tonight, I'll sleep in the family room. I don't want to be touched by a jerk like you!

"

nLisa slammed the door hard, leaving Oscar alone in the cold, silent room.
