Only a reason
Cassandra continued to follow Lexi’s steps, not caring about the employees looking in their direction. “Where Are we going?” She asked, but Lexi did not answer and only hinted to Cassandra to follow him.
Lexi forced Cassandra to get into her car.
“Where Are we going?”Cassandra asked.
“I want to go home! I want to have lunch at home!”Lexi replied as he turned the key to start the car engine.
“Then, this!”Cassandra showed a paper bag containing lunch for Lexi.
Lexi took a quick glance and refocused on driving his car engine.
“Who asked you to announce our engagement?” He asked. It really didn’t matter if some of the cooperation between Ricardo Group and Cassandra’s family-owned Fashion business ended. However, he did not want to spoil the cooperative relationship that has been established so far. Especially the friendship of Mistress Anna with Cassandra’s parents.
“I am! I like you, I want you to be my husband Lexi! I hope you’re not trying to postpone or cancel it!” Cassandra explained.
“Are you serious about what you’re saying? You shouldn’t have acted that recklessly Cassandra! I’m married, do you know that?” Lexi deliberately wanted to make Cassandra give up. Yes, knowing that he married Jessica was very sure Cassandra would undo her intentions. In fact, he didn’t want to marry Cassandra.
“I know, I know you’re married to Jessica. I already know your marriage contract and I also know that you don’t like Jessica! Why don’t you just end the wedding? I will accept and start over with you! How would you like it? Lexi don’t let me be shameless by begging like this! I’ve had enough of waiting and being patient, I just want to marry you! Stop breaking my heart!” Cassandra confessed. She couldn’t no longer hide the feelings she has been feeling all this time.
Lexi was silent, from the beginning here it was indeed he who was guilty. He did not expect that Cassandra would respond so well to all the attention from him. Then he stopped the car in a quiet place.
“Didn’t we meet first, didn’t my family be more rich, didn’t my profession guarantee more!”Cassandra said, she didn’t think about her shame anymore. For days she sent messages but Lexi never replied to him. The phone calls she made a dozen times a day were also ignored.
“I told you I had a sexual aversion disorder! I never lied about it! You’re from a respectable family. Your profession, I’m sure many women are jealous of what you are achieving at the moment. But only Jessica can cure my illness! Give up and find another man who can make you happy!” he explained.
“Don’t brag to me, I’m not a child anymore that you can lie to Lexi!”Cassandra’s protest, she did not accept.
“I’m not lying to you, that’s what’s happening to me right now! After the departure of my first wife, I never had a desire for anyone! There are a lot of women that my mom introduced to me, including you, but I still haven’t recovered. And it was only Jessica who healed me. She’s different! I’m just passionate and have the desire to make love only with Jessica.” Lexi took a quick glance at Cassandra’s face as he explained his words.
Silence.
“Is that real?!” Cassandra said before getting out of Lexi’s car.
“I swear, everything I say is the truth!” Lexi made sure.
Cassandra lowered her head. She took a paper bag containing lunch for Lexi. Listlessly took the family from Lexi’s car. She gave up. Her promise for her mom to become the pioneer of Ricardo Group as a daughter-in-law, she must give up right now.
“Taxi.”
Cassandra walked away from Lexi. She would show the next plan. Not only that she developed her dream of becoming a pioneer Ricardo Group.

Lexi arrived home. Jessica and Chelsea are in the living room.
“Honey, are you home?” Jessica said hello as she walked up to her husband.
“Yes, I came home for lunch with you,” Lexi said, deliberately showing attention. Not only Jessica, Chelsea who heard it also blushed.
” Then I’ll go home now, ” Chelsea said, not feeling good if she had to bother Jessica and Lexi.
“lets eat together with us, ” Jessica invited, there were still many things she wanted to ask Chelsea.
” No, ” Chelsea refused. “Mr. Lexi, Jessica I’m gonna go home now,” he said.
“Don’t!” Jessica stopped.
However, Chelsea would go home right now. “Next time I can come here,” she replied. “Tell Mrs. Anna I’m going home.”Chelsea waved her hand and walked out of Ricardo’s family home.
“My husband, Why did you let Chelsea go home?”Jessica protested looking at her husband.
“Didn’t she say she was coming back tomorrow?”Lexi replied. He doesn’t like anyone interrupting his Quality Time with his wife.
Jessica walked over and kissed her husband’s hand. Next, the two of them walked into the dining room.
“Cassandra is not here yet,” his mom said in the dining room. He couldn’t wait to tell Cassandra about Lexi and Jessica being married.
“What is it, Mom?” Lexi was investigating while observing Jessica who was getting rice and side dishes for lunch. The man suspected that his mom also knew about the engagement announcement that would be made by Cassandra’s family.
“Emm-you see, actually a few days ago Mrs. Helen, Cassandra’s mother, really wanted you to get engaged. You can’t refuse, I just realized that you were wrong and had to explain everything to them!” Mrs. Anna explained. “But Cassandra, until now it hasn’t come!” She was worried. She was afraid that the news of the engagement would spread.
“Let’s eat first! Let me finish it, Mom!” Lexi looked very calm and always smiles at Jessica.
“I am not hungry, you two just eat first!” She was just silently looking at Jessica and Lexi alternately. It was obvious that both of them were in love. They were feeding each other, caring for each other, and always showing love.
“Let’s eat, mom!” Jessica invited.
“You guys eat.” Mrs. Anna still couldn’t smile, because she thought too much about it.
Lexi ended his lunch by sipping a glass of water that Jessica had taken. Then, he wanted to tell his mom why Cassandra didn’t come home this time. “Actually Cassandra had come to the Office, Mkm,” Lexi said in a low voice. He looked at Jessica.
“Then?”
Mistress Anna straightened her head curiously.
“I’ve said everything, about Jessica, and everything! You don’t have to think about it anymore, hopefully after this Cassandra and Aunt Helen understand the meaning of it all! After all, isn’t that still the case! I just don’t want to fight with him ever! I love Jessica, Mom! And I will always remember our memories!” He explained.
“I’m going to call her mom, Helen. Mom must give her so that she does not get angry!” Mrs. Anna said. Although not yet relieved, she felt quite happy to hear Lexi’s explanation.
Lexi nodded slowly.
Then she got up from her seat and called her friend.
Now in the dining room there was only Lexi and Jessica. “Did you see Cassandra?” Jessica asked. She still remembered clearly how annoyed they were in Bali. It crossed her mind again.
“Yes.”
“What are you guys doing?” Jessica interrogated while narrowing her eyes.
“Nothing, she just came and told me that in the afternoon she would announce the engagement between me and her. But, I’ve made it clear that we’re married and I’ll announce our wedding soon!”Lexi was being honest.
“Is that really all?”she insisted.
“Yes!”
“Really?”
“Yes!”
“What is the evidence?”
Lexi responded to Jessica’s question by holding her.
“Baby put me down!” Jessica said.
” No, ” Lexi refused and continued to carry his wife’s tiny body to their room downstairs.
Lexi’s left hand opened the door and took Jessica to bed then lay her down slowly. “Watch out, don’t move!” he whispered. Then he walked up to the door to lock it. Without pause, Lexi went back to the wife who was lying in bed.
“Wait!” Jessica stopped. She looked at the wall clock. It showed at half past one in the afternoon.
“Why?”asked Lexi. “You’re going to pretend that your back hurts again?” he guessed, he took off the black suit he was wearing. So, he threw it in the trash.
“It’s still noon,” Jessica protested, crossing her arms across her chest.
“So what?”
With his fingers, Lexi took off one by one the buttons of his shirt. The next moment he came closer and wanted to kiss his wife.
His index finger began to trace the wife’s face. Jessica’s hair is pulled back behind her ears. ” It’s not a sin because you’re my wife, it’s also not a sin because you don’t break the law,” he said, continuing to dominate her body. He would not let go of his power. The man was dominant, he liked to control most of all.
“W-w-wait, ” Jessica’s words stopped because Lexi put his index finger on her lips.
“No prohibitions on marital relations should not be done during the day! I don’t want to do it at night either!” her husband whispered in listener’s senses of the wife with occasional seductive exhalations.
This time, Jessica didn’t move. She just kept getting the touch from her husband. Sometimes, both hands gripped tightly and held sighs. She didn’t know how many times she reached the top. She couldn’t hide her happiness even though the whole body felt crushed.Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.
Jessica looked at her husband’s face. She believed that Lexi was not pretending. Several times she found her husband’s face smiling and wanted it so much.
Both of Lexi’s hands grabbed Jessica into an embrace. “I just proved that nothing happened between me and Cassandra!”Lexi whispered in the ear of the wife.
“Just tell me you can’t wait until tonight!”Jessica hid in her husband’s arms.
