A Couple of Ex
15

That night Richard just finished his dinner.

Stella emboldened herself to sit in front of her sister in the living room, while both Nanny and Nisya were accompanying the twins and Riana who did not want to close her eyes yet, they should be in their room and ready to go to bed.

"Sir, I have something to say,"

Richard looked at Stella with a difficult gaze to understand, it was just like that Richard, he never showed his weak side, he always dominated his interlocutors, he was firm in every sentence he spoke, he said, because he taught Papa Kenzo to be a leader.

As the eldest son of the William family, Richard was required to head the William Medical Center, a large international hospital that existed in three countries at once, and all three were under Richard's control, and all three were under Richard's control, although Richard's education was a specialist in internal medicine, Richard was also required to study hospital management, so that he could lead the hospital without obstacles.

"Say, but don't talk about Alex, I don't want to talk about him."

Stella gulps her saliva, what she's about to say is precisely related to Alex.

Three days, is the time she asked Alex to, and tomorrow is the time she promised to meet her ex-husband.

But until this moment he did not have the courage to open his mouth.

"I've decided something," Stella spoke again, cold sweat started to drench her temples and back.

"Don't decide anything without my permission, now that you're back under my guardianship, in the future I'll be responsible for you no matter what."

Stella squeezed her hands together, there was no threat in any of Richard's words, but somehow Stella was terrified.

"I'll share custody with her papi the twins."

Richard looked at Stella without blinking, clearly now he was holding back his wrath.

"Why?"

"Because their papi has full rights."

"If I forbid it?"

"I'll do it anyway" replied Stella firmly.

Puraaaang ...

Fractions of the urn scattered where, the sound of crying of the twins echoed in the middle room, surprised to hear a loud noise due to Richard destroying the antique jar that was nearby.

Stella immediately gave directions to her two nannies to bring the twins to the room, as well as Riana who was still faithful to follow her two cousins who were still crying loudly.

That night Stella was determined to fight back, her household with Alex had indeed lived in shapeless debris, but their children were still entitled to a complete puzzle for their lives in the future.

"What brother is it? why are you the same brother, sister has worked everything out, brother even rejected the desire of uncle Sony to meet the twins, why do you behave as if there is nothing between you?" lick Richard.

"Uncle Sony? when did you meet papa?" stella asked in surprise, she did not expect, that her sister even had the heart to forbid her former in-laws to meet the twins.

"Yesterday the day after tomorrow,"

"Even Sony's father won't let you meet the twins, but Sony's father isn't involved in my and Alex's affairs at all" Stella tried to soften her brother's heart.

"Even if your father-in-law is president, you won't let him see Kevin and Andre, you will immediately transfer your guardianship on behalf of your brother" Richard said in an authoritarian tone.

"Sister, I think sister's gone too far" Stella chimed in.

"Yes, since my father and mother-in-law had absolutely no idea about Alex's attitude, as long as Stella stayed with them, they always gave their best for me, brother," Stella tried to show how much her parents-in-law were good people, "and I didn't want to be selfish and heartless,"

"Well brother is heartless, but betrayal is something you don't deserve to be sorry, big brother's decision won't change, you go to London with the twins, you go to London, and you'll settle there, brother will shut down all your search access, so Alex won't find you." Richard again said firmly do not want to be denied.

Stella closed her eyes, "well, if you make that decision, then listen to my decision, too" Stella looked at Richard with an intimidating look. "So don't want me to go, do you?"

Richard was silent, but Stella knew Richard's answer was yes.

"Then I have the Terms,"

"Don't try to negotiate with me, if it's about Alex,"

"Because this concerns my son's life, sister," Stella again gave a sharp shriek.

"What if I don't agree?"

"Then I won't move out of this house even if I have to kill myself."

Richard was really inexhaustible, how could Stella still die defending her ex-husband, even though Richard was so powerful to make Alex could not meet the twins.

"Stupid .." Richard finally softened, "do what you want, but after this you must obey everything you say,"

Stella hugged Richard tightly, "Thank you brother, your stupid sister will no longer ask for anything other than protection, because I'm not sure I can love anyone but Alex's sister."

Richard returned Stella's embrace tightly, "do you know, why did papa marry you at such a young age?" ask Richard lirih.

Stella shakes.

"But papa's heart was often troubled, and he wanted to see his only daughter get married soon, hoping that your husband would take good care of you, and not betray you as he is now."

Stella hugged Richard even tighter, shedding the tears she had been holding all by herself.

His, who had been sitting and watching from afar, seemed to be shedding tears, "may this be the best decision among the storms that hit the Stella household" he said in his heart.

...✨✨✨...

William's luxury car, carrying Stella and Ima, the nanny who will take care of Kevin, to the Geraldy family residence, along the way Stella hugged her eldest son tightly, Stella hopes that Kevin will never hate her, because Stella prefers Andre over him, just imagining it, making Stella tear up.

Ima the nanny, just silent, saw the scene that really made her heart slit sad.

"Mom, can I ask you a favor?"

Ima turned her head, nodding her head without a sound.

"Please take good care of Kevin, make sure he is not sick, and eat enough nutritious food, remember he has a chocolate allergy, emmm? I forgot," said Stella in her tears, smiling bitterly, "i must be a bad mommy huh?"

Ima shook her head, she could only cry, without being able to speak.

"Only one thing you want from you, please keep it a secret from the father about the departure of the mother, and where is the mother after this, you can? promise me."

"Yes ma'am, I promise, I will say all that is good about the mother to the young master, and I'll keep a secret about Stella's departure and where she is after she left the country,"

Stella smiled, then nodded "thank you, dad,"
