Forced Marriage Alea

Alex just kept quiet. His head felt throbbing as he tried to associate one problem with another. From any side no one would believe if he had nothing to do with everything that Ravka had revealed. However, he really did not understand how this could all happen in such a short time. And worse, at the same time. Of course, when seen in plain sight, this is a whole unity of a great plan.

"You saw it yourself, didn't you?! I've found all evidence of your crimes. Confess Mas, before it's too late," said Ravka still holding her place standing.

Ravka's face looked so satisfied that Alex could not refute her. Ravka thought her hard work paid off already today. Without him realizing that the complexity in the company he had to face was even greater than what was in front of his eyes.

"Return all the money you have stolen from the company. And finish all the projects you deliberately stopped in the middle of the road,"

"I swear, I never took a dime of company money that wasn't mine" Alex said.

"Mas ... stop playing around. I'm really tired of all this" said Ravka riled as she rubbed her hands against her face violently.

"I swear to God, I have absolutely no idea about this. I have never transferred company money to my personal account. I also never gave the order to stop the projects that are running," Alex said confused.

It is like being hit by a storm right now. All the evidence points to him. However, he himself did not know what was really going on.

"Want all that what is it? it's all your signature" Ravka exclaimed in a voice that began to rise.

"Do you not see, all this was signed only a few days after I was appointed as the official CEO. Even then I was still enjoying my vacation with Sherly,"

"Switch Ravka. Stop cornering Alex. We need to hear Alex's explanation" Derry said, "if you keep fighting, we won't find a solution to this problem. It's a pretty serious matter for Rav" Derry added.

Ravka shook her body next to Derry, trying to calm her already boiling heart.

"Now talk to Lex, we're all listening" said Derry, still trying to dampen turbulent emotions.

Alex has long since lost his father. Here, he is the one who should play the role of a surrogate father. He has long wanted to take on that role. However, his complicated past makes him a figure of father for his only nephew.

Alex was just stuck in his place. His brain could not find the right words to describe everything that had happened. Let alone explaining, he also needed an explanation at this time.

The slightly brownish-skinned youth opened his mouth wide, but not as bold as the word that slid from there. He then clenched his mouth again and repeated the same thing without his own noticing.

"Why Mas? You can't argue, can you?!" Ravka again raised her eyebrows with a mocking smile.

"A-I .. I admit," finally a voice could Alex escape his lips, "I have no answer to any of this. I still don't even understand what's going on." A surprised look was clearly on Alex's face.

The young man looked absolutely shocked to find all the statements that Ravka had thrown in front of him.

"Alright, let me explain it," said Ravka impatiently, "I'm tired of all your pretentious attitude Mas," added Ravka again.

The tall man whose face had been shaved slickly from all the fine hair around his face, smiled meaningfully. He was determined to unmask all Alex's cunning.

Ravka explains the mode Alex is doing based on her conjecture. Alex deliberately moved little by little the cash owned by the company into his personal account. Although Ravka finally managed to freeze the account, it took time for Ravka to be able to withdraw the money that had been transferred. At the same time, the large projects of Dinata Group in various regions were abruptly halted, which will certainly have an impact on the company as a whole. Plus now Alex is planning a multi-million dollar partnership between Dinata Group's most developed company BeTrust and a fictional company. This of course will cause a great shock to the Dinata Group.

"If this news were to spread to the public, there was only one definite possibility. Dinata Group shares will fall sharply. If this happens, all investors will ketar ketir and withdraw its shares. Those who survive will also not just stay silent. While in the management of the company was already a carut marut. That's when you can run all the goals that you have planned carefully. Is there any mistake I'm saying?" Ravka ended her explanation at length.

Alex rounded his eyes to realize the magnitude of what the impact would be if he made a mistake that he considered so trivial. Clearly, whoever is behind all this is eyeing himself to be scapegoated. He leaned his body against the back of the sofa while massaging the base of his nose. His thumping chest held back the mounting emotions. Alex never thought something this big had happened in front of his nose without him noticing. There was only one person he could explain what had really happened. He should ask Sherly for an explanation immediately.

"I have to find out for myself what happened here. I can't let someone use me as a cover for his rotten plan" Alex said quickly.

Just a few steps away from Alex's place, Ravka had already pulled the young man's arm and landed a hard blow on the brother's face.

Screams were heard from Erica and Dilla who were surprised to see Ravka hit Alex with a bang. Alex fell down with blood pouring from his lips. Quickly the young man held back the rate of blood coming out from the corner of his lips using the back of his hand.

"Ravka don't overdo you," Erica screams can't accept to see her child being beaten suddenly.

Erica approaches Alex. However, while trying to help his son, Alex raised his hand to signal not to be approached by his own mother. Meanwhile, Derry has been holding Ravka's body to stop her already uncontrollable anger.

"I'd swear by anything if I didn't know about this. I just learned this from you Ravka. But I promise you, I'll try to find evidence that I'm not involved in this conspiracy at all" Alex said, trying to get up from the floor.

Alex looked exhausted as he tried to get up. He tried to rest on his knee with his right hand supported. Her other hand was still holding her broken lips and felt sore.

"Movie .... I don't believe you Mas" exclaimed Ravka rudely, "i know you've planned this all including trapping me with Alea while in the hotel room. That way you can take the opportunity to marry Sherly and become CEO. After that you can freely carry out your rotten plan. Tell me what's really your goal, huh? If all you want is to take control of the company, I'll give it to you willingly. There's no need for you to go this far, "Dada Ravka's going up and down withholding her anger.

If only his father did not hold him back, Ravka would have returned to throw a fist into the face of the man he had so respected.

"Although I'm having trouble finding evidence, but I'm sure you're the mastermind behind me and Alea. Just admit Mas," cried Ravka again.

"I have absolutely no idea what you're talking about Ravka. I'm not the one who wants to marry Sherly. But he himself came to me, asking to be married to cover the family's shame," Alex replied no less fierce.

"Do you know ha? if it wasn't Mama who forced me to take your place to please Grandpa, I would never have married Sherly. I did all this for our family. Instead of thanking me for my sacrifice, you blasphemed me!" alex continued with a fiery.

"You lied to Mas" sambar Ravka quickly.

"Why did I lie to Rav? I'm not a proud family man like you. I'm used to living free and messy. But that doesn't mean I don't have a heart, I don't think about this family at all,"

"Enough, stop your endless quarrels. After all you are brothers. At least you can still talk about this with a cold head," cut Grandpa Bayu mediate the captivity of his two grandsons.

"For the time being, I can't talk about this Grandpa yet" Alex said, "I have to confirm something first, before talking about it all. I beg you Grandpa to understand. Give me until tomorrow morning. After that you can do whatever you want with me," Alex added with pleading eyes.

"Allah .... Do what you need to do. But before the board meeting starts tomorrow, Grandpa hopes we can talk about this," said Grandpa Bayu decided to give what Alex asked for, a chance to prove the truth.

He should be fair to both his grandchildren. If he had decided to trust Ravka, this time he would have given Alex the same thing. A trust.
