Husband's Regrets: Revenge Marriage
(MM&GL) CHAPTER 4. Taking What's Mine.
Everyone must have been surprised to hear the nominal mentioned. Joana even rounded her two beautiful eyes due to overwhelming shock. Did he not hear wrong? 1 Billion small nominal months.
"Well, 1 billion, deal?" ask the host before deciding.
"Deal."
"Deal up! Granenca's painting sold for 1 billion, give her a round of applause" the host said.
Immediately boisterous applause, everyone must be curious about who the buyer is willing to pour 1 billion money just for a painting. Including Joana herself is very curious how the buyer of the painting looks.
However, because many people and the place is far enough to make Joana difficult to see his face. At first glance he saw the man had a perfect facial line with a high nose and a taper chin. Just one look could already predict that the man must be very handsome.
"Joana, your painting sold for a great price. Congratulations, congratulations, son. I'm so proud of you," Tania said so excitedly, she smiled sweetly at her daughter with teary eyes.
"I didn't expect it either, it's thanks to Mom too. Thank you for always supporting me" Joana smiled back at her mother.
"All the things that make you happy, I'll do, son. You are the mother's first love" Tania said, stroking Joana's cheek gently.
Joana smiled, took her mother's hand and kissed her without saying anything. It had made Tania's heart so happy, she never stopped commenting on the sweet smile.
"Excuse me, Miss Joana?"
An officer of the show approached Joana and Tania.
"What's wrong?" tanya Tania represents her daughter.
"I'm sorry to have waited, I was assigned by Mr. Alfian to call Miss Joana. He said the painter wanted to meet with Ms Joana in person" the officer said.
"Meet me?" Joana asked confused, did she not hear wrong?
"Yes, Miss. He wanted to ask you something about painting, you."
"Ehm, where should I see him?" joana asked to be careful before deciding everything.
"He's waiting on the 3rd floor, Miss. You can go straight there, let me drop off" said the officer.
"Alright, I'll drop off my own daughter" Tania said as she prepared to push her daughter's wheelchair.
"Sorry, Madam. Mr. Alfian only asked Miss Joana herself to come. You can't come" said the officer.
"Why can't it? I'm with my daughter, don't you see her condition?" tania said showing the legs of the pants covered with a blanket.
"I understand, Madam. But this is a direct order from the buyer of the painting, he is a very disputable person, for the safe survival of your daughter, you should just obey" said the officer.
Joana frowned not understanding, for some reason her premonition was not good. Who is that guy really? Why does that person look so scared. So why did he ask to see me?
"Miss, let's go now. Your time is not long" said the officer.
"No way, I still have to accompany my daughter. Just tell your master, if he really wants to meet Joana, I have to come," Tania said not to be that easy to give up, she also felt the feeling was not good.
The officer was silent for a moment, he seemed to be thinking, then a moment later he nodded slowly.
"Alright, you can come," said the officer.
Tania was hot relieved, she glanced at Joana who was as relieved as she was. He then pushed his daughter's wheelchair after the officer who walked first.
The two of them then took the elevator to the third floor. Joana thought that maybe the person did not like the crowd, because on the third floor it was very quiet. There were only dozens of men in all-black clothes with cold faces.
"Mother" said Joana holding her mother's hand so as not to push her too far.
"Yes?" Tania lowered her head, listening to what her daughter wanted to say.
"I'm afraid, we should just go" said Joana, starting to be able to read the situation that was happening at this time.
Tania frowned, she looked around her and realized that they were surrounded by big-bodied men. Their eyes were sincere and very cold. Tania then glanced at the officer who had taken her, the man was not there.
"Where is that guy?" muttered Tania in confusion.
"Who's mother?" ask Joana.
"That man" said Tania.
However, the sound of footsteps walking towards them shocked him. He was more surprised to see a man who had a cold face coming towards him with a few people behind him.
Joana clasped her own hand, she had already recognized the man despite only seeing once. That man he accidentally hit a while ago. But to Joana's astonishment, why did the man come to her?
Devan walked with his steady steps, he unceasingly looked at the face of the woman he had longed for. Getting closer, his heart was beating uncontrollably, he stopped right in front of the woman.
"Good night" said Devan, commenting on an unusual smile. "My name, Devandra Dawson," he continued in an unusual tone.
"A-what? What do you want?" joana asked stammeredly, she was afraid to see the look in Devan's eyes which she thought was unusual.
"Good question, I've come to take what should be mine."
Devan's answer made Joana surprised, her feelings getting worse.
"I don't know what you mean, if you don't have to, I'll go. Come on mom," said Joana asking Tania to take her away.
"Don't try!" devan said turning cold on his face.
"What do you really want from my daughter? We never bothered you, let my daughter go and live a quiet life," Tania said trying to fight Devan despite her fear, guessing he had power and was dangerous.
Devan sizzled softly, he who was just staring at Joana immediately turned his eyes towards Tania. He looks very dislike, he assumes Tania will be a bully with his relationship with Joana later.
"I told you, I'm not bothering you. But take what should be yours. It's people like you who have been bothering me" Devan said.
"I don't understand what you mean, come on Joana, let's get out of here. Don't do anything in vain" Tania said, immediately pulling Joana's wheelchair back and taking her away quickly. He was really scared to see the creepy Devan temperament.
"Stop." Devan straightened his body, his eyes glittering with anger and hatred.
Tania doesn't care about it, she keeps pushing Joana's wheelchair fast.
"I said stop!" devan shouted until his voice echoed in the quiet room.
However, again no response by Tania. He quickly pushes Joana's wheelchair and intends to quickly leave. That man was indeed very dangerous, from his eyes alone had explained everything.
"Mother, it looks like she's angry," said Joana.
"No matter, as long as we don't disturb them, don't take it" Tania said.
"But what about"
The duarrrr!!!
Joana's words immediately stopped hearing a loud gunshot. He raised his eyes in shock, but he was more shocked to see his hands and hair suddenly wet. Joana's heart raced faster, she noticed her red hand again. Then he held her hair, which also had blood.
Shortly after, Joana is again shocked by her mother's body which suddenly collapses forward with endless blood coming out of her back.
"Akhhhhhhhhhhh!" Joana screamed hysterically, she was so scared to see blood spurt everywhere. But he was more afraid to see his mother lying like that, the shot was so extraordinary that it penetrated into the front chest.
"Mother!" joana shouted again, she immediately dropped herself on the floor, crying roars hugging her mother who was lying covered with blood.
Tania's moaning voice was still heard, she wanted to reach Joana's face, but she was unable to. He then closed his eyes, hugging the dark that felt gripping.
"Mom, wake up mom!" Joana cries hysterically, she hugs Tania tightly, she does not want to lose her mother. How God was so willing to separate those who had just met and Joana just felt how to call Tania mother.
Devan gritted his teeth, his molars tightening due to overwhelming anger. Don't guess what he said playfully. He did not like if anyone dared to challenge him, let alone intend to take Mega from him.
Devan walked over to Joana who was still roaring.
"Let's go back, Mega," said Devan with his cold face.
Joana was surprised, she looked up at Devan hatefully. That man killed his mother!
"You murderer! I hate you so much! You're a murderer, give me back!"
