ALITA'S SECRET
Chapter 12

"What is your relationship with my sister?"

Alita is surprised Arkan comes to her at night in the room.

"I-I mean Sir?" He was nervous and started to be afraid.

Arkan showed the video on his HP making Alita's face instantly deathly pale.

"You came to my study when I wasn't around. I installed CCTV in the workspace. You look for something and see my family photo album. From your expression it's clear you know my brother Arden."

Suddenly Alita sobbed grievously, covering her mouth to keep her from hysterical.

Seeing the woman's body shaken violently, Arkan took her to the living room to speak.

"I didn't know Arden was married. He helped me and gave me a place to live. I didn't know I was just his mistress all along. Arden has deceived me. When his wife hit me in the apartment, I was evicted right then and there. After that, I moved away to Bogor avoiding Arden finding me."

Alita's explanation is not easily accepted Arkan. But given Faldo's words about Laudya's confession that Arden was having an affair. If so, he regretted defending his brother.

"When did that happen?" Ask Arkan.

"I forgot the exact date, sir. But as I recall, when his wife Arden hit me she said 'leave my husband, tomorrow is our 5th wedding anniversary. Don't break our household'. So said Mr."

Arden and Laudya's 5th wedding anniversary?

Arkan remembered and was shocked. That was the date of the accident!

Meaning the day before the incident, Laudya had a debate with Alita.

"Do you know that Arden is dead?" Ask Arkan made Alita gasp in shock.

"Arden... is he dead?" He doesn't believe.

"He was in an accident while traveling with his wife. They wanted to celebrate the wedding anniversary but the car was in an accident, both were killed on the spot."

Alita shook her head vigorously and looked at Arkan nanar. "Master lied to you! No way!"

Arkan shakes. "I'm not lying. He died three years ago."

***

Arkan never thought that Arden who admired because so royal, loyal, loving his wife, turned out to have an affair with the woman who is now ART in his home.

Arden is a friendly and supple man, also a successful businessman in the field of construction.

At a relatively young age, Arden was right to have the potential to do business when he managed to reap hundreds of millions in profits in a short period of time.

Behind his success, Arkan does not think his brother's household has problems. Even her sister's mistress is now here.

Arkan let Alita cry shedding the burden.

"Sir.." Alita sobbed at Arkan with red eyes.

"Yes." Yeah."

"Please don't fire me for this. I really don't know Mr. Arden's brother. And I didn't know it was made a mistress by Arden. I don't know where else to go if you fire me. I'm.."

"Not to be afraid." Cut Arkan slowly. "I'm not going to fire you."

Alita moved until she wanted to. "Thank you, sir."

"Yes, you can rest." Arkan went to his room.

But turn around again. "I forgot to report. Tomorrow I will go to Semarang for three days. Prepare my suitcase, tomorrow night I go."

Alita nodded obediently. "Good, Sir."

As soon as Arkan left, Alita was stunned.

"Arden is dead?" Alita shook her head strongly. "Better the con man disappeared!"
