Grasping Longs
Part~199's
"It's a shame you just came home, not on the phone earlier I've said there are designers who will come to measure our wedding clothes" said Lusi when he saw Martin put his foot into the Mansion.
Martin seemed to be breathing a long sigh, all day he was looking for a woman who was similar to Sera but had to lose track of her and now he was faced by the spoiled woman in front of him.
"I'm so tired, Lus, can we talk later. You better go home now." said Martin staring at the woman in front of him.
"You kicked me out? don't you miss me, hm? you've always been busy these days." Susi was seen approaching Martin and hugging his waist, then he landed his kiss on the man's lips. Just a glance, because as he was about to melum😘tnya Martin immediately distanced his face.
"I'm really tired, Lus." said Martin while distancing Lusi's hand, then he threw his body on a single sofa that was not far from him.
"When do you have time to measure our wedding clothes ?" said Lusi make sure.
"We're only engaged to Lus, not married." said Martin.
"But you promised me that Helena would marry me." lusi said she couldn't accept, she was Helena's only sister.
"I promise to take care of you, not marry you. Besides you know who I want." Martin replied.
"But it's been 8 years, baby, I'm not sure she's alive. The woman must have died eating wild animals while trying to escape from your house first." persuaded Lusi but it actually made Martin look directly at him.
"Go home Lus, you know yourself the consequences if I'm on a blackboard" said Martin lyric but containing a threat.
Lusi seemed to sigh in annoyance, then he immediately took out a pile of clothes. Then stomping his feet left Martin.
"Wait, what is it ?" martin said when he saw Lusi carrying a bag in his hand.
"The clothes from the designer." said Susi annoyed, the possibility of him moving away.
After that Martin passed to his room, he took off his shirt and threw it in any direction.
Then he picked up a bottle of wiskey and poured it into a glass, then took it to the balcony of his room.
He seemed to be rolling his gaze around his Mansion, he looked proud of his current achievements.
He used to be just a right-hand man in the trust of Mr. Winata, but now his wealth may already be on par with his former boss.
He was very lucky, though, his plantation that he bought in order to realize the dream of Helena who at that time wanted to have a playground turned out to be stored so much of the earth's abundant wealth to make it rich as it is now.
In addition, he also runs a firearm business and several nightclubs scattered in the city.
After sipping his drink to the toilet, Martin passed into his room again. Then he put his body on his bed.
A glimpse of a woman who resembled Sera while asleep in the carriage was present in her memory, then she took her phone inside her pants pocket.
In the gallery where he kept the photos of the woman he took secretly earlier.
"You have such a similar face, just a different look in your eyes" Martin murmured as he looked at the woman's face that looked similar to Sera's.
..........
"Helena hold on." said Martin at the time, when Helena suddenly experienced critical when a few days ago the woman had undergone surgery.
"Tell me, do you love me ?" helena asked at that moment with a stupefied breath.
"Of course I love you, baby." said Martin.
"But I never saw that love in your eyes again" said Helena, who immediately made Martin gasp.
"What do you say dear, of course I love you." Martin assures.
"You sure? be honest with me for the last time." said Helena pleading.
Martin seemed to be breathing heavily. "I'm sorry" he said later.
"When has it been ?" ask Helena.
"Honey, we can talk about it next time. Now rest I'll call the doctor immediately." persuaded Martin, he immediately got up from his seat but Helena immediately restrained his hand.
"I'm sorry baby, this feeling is suddenly present without me preventing." Martin is finally honest with his feelings, the more he denies the deeper his love for Sera.
Helena smiled softly. "When I'm gone, marry her. Maybe now Sera is pregnant with your child" Helena said.
"You knew? I'm sorry, honey, I..." Martin did not expect his actions that night who was hating Sera was known by his lover.
As a normal man he also needs biological needs, but since Helena was in pain Martin never touched him again. Although sometimes Helena still often satisfied him in other ways.
But when he touches Sera for the first time, Martin feels opium with the woman. Even though he hated it at that time, his body always wanted it.
And without realizing it, his actions left the seeds of love in his heart.
"I'm glad that Sera's not someone else, I'm just gonna let you marry Sera or Lusi isn't some obscure woman out there" Helena said.
"Honey, can't talk about that now. I just want to be with you, you get well and then we get married" Martin pleaded with Helena's hand.
Helena who was critical, her breathing seemed to get heavier and then slowly she closed her eyes.
"Honey, please hold on." cried Martin in panic, then he immediately called the doctor when Helena was unconscious. But in the end the woman was gone.
Martin rubbed his face violently as he recalled the moments his lover had left him for good.
"Hallo, has there been any news of that woman ?" he said later when Mattew his accomplice contacted him.
"No sir, I just want to give you information if the land you want in the suburbs is not running smoothly because my man-in-law informs me if the landowner there does not want to sell the land." sahut Mattew explained.
"I don't want to know, however, how we must immediately have the land." said Martin.
"But according to my man, the landowner insisted he would not sell it at any price."
"Jeez Matt overcame it just not so bad, why don't you yourself just intervene. Who is he anyway, the office ?" furious Martin.
"No, sir. She was just a woman who made the land an orphanage." said Mattew.
"Taking care of one woman isn't a becus, instead you can intimidate her ?" martin grumbled with a sneer.
"Okay sir, I'll handle it myself." Mattew said, then he closed the call.
Meanwhile, on the other hand, Sera seems to be arguing with some men who lately always come to his successor.
"I told you, I'm not going to sell this land. So you better go home." said Sera by raising his intonation.
"But our boss will buy it at a high price Miss, you can go from here and build a new place." persuaded a burly man.
"I will not sell it, you better get out of here before I report to the authorities." said Sera, after which she immediately went inside and closed the door of her house.
Sera looks very upset, almost a month he faced some people who want to bid for his land which now stands an orphanage where and his children live.
Until whenever he will not sell it, because it is the mandate of the late master Mauren if he should not sell it.
The land is indeed in a strategic place on the edge of the beach with mangrove trees are very broad. Many investors want it to build hotels and tourist attractions, but Mr. Mauren is very protective of nature until anytime will not sell his land.
A few days later, several different people came to Sera's orphanage.
"What's up ?" said Sera unfriendly when she saw 3 different men from before standing at the door of her house.
Sera could guess the three people must also be wanting the land like the people before.
However, it seems that Sera feels no stranger to any of them, but she forgets where she has met. It seems because of the busyness factor until he is often senile lately, he thought.
"This woman, not the one the boss is looking for. Why is it a coincidence."
Mattew looked surprised when he saw Sera who was now looking at him unfriendly.
