"Of course," Frans grabbed Veronica's chin and kissed her lips, which were now adorned with pink lipstick.Knock, knock, knock."Sir, I'm sorry, but there's a friend of yours outside looking for you," the couple's housekeeper called.Reluctantly, Frans released his wife from their embrace."You wait here. Don't come down, no matter what happens." He gave Veronica's lips a quick peck. "Bik, take Vanya to the backyard!" Frans ordered the middle-aged woman who was carrying Vanya. She nodded and headed to the backyard as instructed."Don't say you want to ask about Riski. Trust me, my wife doesn't know what happened." Frans plopped down on the sofa."How did you know the purpose of my visit? Has your wife complained to you and asked for your defense?" Gerald sneered."Watch your mouth, Ger. Don't compare me to Bianca, who can forgive every hurtful word that comes out of your mouth. Listen, I don't need to hear anything about your meeting this afternoon to understand your intentions. It's
Seeing that Gerald was quite calm, Yuna left the room. Come sit next to your husband."I'm sorry, if my presence hurts you. I'm sorry for being presumptuous in loving you. I should have realized that my position is only a wife on paper." Yuna stroked Gerald's arm. All his ambitions and desires disappeared instantly. It hurt him to see Gerald like now."Calm down. Once my task is complete, Bianca will return to being your only wife." Yuna roughly wiped her tears. He also left. “Don't forget to give Bianca something to eat. I'm sure he hasn't eaten anything since this afternoon." he said. Before closing the bedroom door again.In the room, Yuna buried her face in the pillow. So that people outside can't hear his cries. “Is it wrong for me to love you, Ger? Weren't they the ones who forced me to marry you? Have I sinned, Lord, for giving myself to my own husband? Gerald is my legal husband, isn't he? And I'm not a prostitute either!" Yuna whispered.From the top of the stairs, Alma could
"What should I do?" Bianca ran her fingers through her hair. Why did the long-awaited child have to come so soon? Gerald might choose to stay with Yuna instead.No, that wouldn't happen. Bianca corrected her appearance once more. Perhaps tomorrow morning, she would talk to Gerald and convey Yuna's message. That Yuna was pregnant with her child. One thing Bianca was certain of: Gerald would be happy.Not knowing when Gerald would come home, Bianca sat in front of the couch Gerald had been sleeping on. She wanted to wait for him to wake up, with the pregnancy test kit in her hand.Gerald's eyes blinked open as sunlight peeped through the window curtains. He massaged his temples, feeling a painful throbbing in his head."You're finally awake," Bianca said.Seeing Bianca in front of him, Gerald let out a heavy sigh. He wasn't ready to face his wife.Instead of responding, Gerald got up and left the room. But before he could fully exit, Bianca spoke again."Yuna is pregnant."Gerald's step
Bianca was left stunned. Was this the end of their marriage? A marriage that had once been so beautiful and happy now had to end in separation."I'm sorry. This is all my fault. If only I weren't around you two," Yuna apologized."No, Una. This is not your fault. It's all my fault. I came up with this cunning plan to take advantage of your situation and Yogi's. But I never thought about what would happen next. I never considered that a child would be separated from their mother if this marriage happened."Indeed, Bianca had never thought about the consequences of their actions when she pushed for this arrangement. Her only focus had been on helping Gerald have a child with Yuna, without considering Yuna's feelings at the time. Was this karma? Because none of them seemed to be truly present in this situation. Their child would grow up without both of its parents.Yuna agreed with Bianca's words but couldn't blame her friend. Yuna herself had willingly gone along with this plan to satis
"What are you doing, Una?" Bianca approached Yuna, who was in the kitchen. It seemed like she was looking for something."I'm looking for salt. It seems really tasty to eat it with green mango. I asked our neighbor for a green mango earlier.""Salt is right here, Una." Bianca took Yuna's hand and led her to the dining table. "You can use this salt for your mango." She handed Yuna a small bottle from the middle of the dining table."Thank you." Yuna smiled and accepted the salt from Bianca."Where are you going?""I'm going to my room. Why?" Yuna turned around, holding the salt and green mango in her hands."Is there a knife in your room?" Bianca shook her head. "It's better if you wait for me in the living room." She took the mango and salt back from Yuna's hands."But...""Don't argue."Yuna sighed deeply. She couldn't refuse Bianca's wishes.Shortly after Yuna sat down, Bianca appeared with slices of mango on a fairly large plate and a very small plate in her hand. It was clear that
Frans shook his head, reached for a chair by his desk, and sat down next to Veronica, continuing with the work he had paused. It seemed like Veronica was better suited to handle this issue."Vero, try to see it from my perspective. I don't love Yuna. But Bianca keeps pushing me to be fair to Yuna. It's true; I need Yuna to give birth to my child, and she's also my wife. I'd feel sorry if I had to divorce her. But can they give me some time to learn? You know, every time I sleep with Yuna, she keeps teasing me, and eventually, I touch her," Gerald said, glancing at Frans, who was focused on his work."Is that fair in your eyes? I have a physical relationship with Yuna, but my mind tells me it's Bianca. Afterward, it's not pleasure I feel but regret and guilt."Veronica nodded. She understood the complexity of the situation Gerald was facing."Now, meet Bianca and Yuna. The three of you need to talk, just like how you're talking to me right now. And I pray that there's a best solution.
“So I ask you, understand, Ger. I did all this for your good and maybe my method was wrong and seemed forced. But believe me, Ger. "I will willingly share my husband with Yuna."Bianca knelt in front of Gerald. “I beg you, Ger. If anyone has to step down, it's me. And you don't need to worry. Because no one will ever be able to replace your position in my life and heart."Gerald was stunned. After all this time, only today did he find out what Bianca's true intentions were. All for his own good. And what's even stupider is that Gerald could never feel the pain that Bianca had been feeling."I'm sorry," whispered Gerald. He knelt down and took Bianca in his arms. For God's sake. Gerald missed his wife. Hugs, the fragrance of his hair, and the warmth of his wife's breath.“Don't apologize. I should be the one apologizing to you. Because he forced you to marry Yuna. So that you don't touch me often.""That's enough. I understand now. And starting today, I will follow your wishes, darling
Yuna smiled. Even though Gerald always answered her questions casually, Yuna was satisfied. More than satisfied, in fact."Oh, by the way, Una. How was your checkup? Is everything okay?" Gerald took a step back so Yuna could face him."The results are good. If God allows, we'll have a baby boy." Yuna forced a smile.Gerald was overjoyed. He would soon have a son, his heir. And of course, with the arrival of the child, there would be no reason for Alma to ask him to stay with Yuna. Selfish? Not at all. Gerald couldn't be called selfish because Yuna herself made that decision. And, of course, she had thought it through thoroughly. Therefore, she would bear all the risks.Many things had changed since Yuna made her decision. During these five months, the pregnant woman had learned a lot from Bianca. What Gerald disliked and what he liked. Even now, Yuna was performing the same duties as Bianca. The difference was that Gerald no longer touched Yuna."When you come home from the office, co
