I HATE (Love) U
Contract

Adyan's eyes incessantly scrutinized the white paper containing information belonging to someone.

A slanted smile rose on his handsome face.

"Bring Laquitta Grizelle here" he told one of his subordinates.

The man nodded for a moment, then went to bring Itta to this place.

"Sit down" said Adyan.

Itta followed him though vigilance always crawled.

"Read it."

Although not very understanding, Itta followed Adyan's instructions. The woman grabbed the paper lying on the table, then read it.

Itta's eyes suddenly widened in disbelief.

He read it a second time. However, the information on the paper remains the same. Nothing has changed.

••••••

Full Name: Azri Killian

Date of Birth: 08 March 1962

Age: 25 years

Gender : Male

Died: 20 June 1987

ETC.

••••••

Whatisthis?

The man Itta knew named Azri was recorded as having died 35 years ago.

So who did he meet last night?

The face was exactly the same as the face that now had his photo on the information sheet in Itta's hand.

It doesn't make sense.

Even if he is still alive, Azri should be 70 years old. However, the man who met Itta yesterday, his face clearly did not age.

"You surprised?"

Itta raised her head hearing a question from the man before her.

The handle is firm on the paper in the hand.

"What's your purpose in telling me about this?" ask Itta.

"You understand, should I explain?"

"I don't understand."

"alright. I'll be clear." Adyan stopped his sentence for a moment. The man looked at Itta right in the bead of eyes accompanied by a smile that was hard to understand. "Miss ..your hope in that man is no more."

"Hope?"

"The one who helped you run was that guy, wasn't he? You intend to put your hopes on him again. But the identity of the man alone is unclear. He did not reveal his true identity. He'll most likely betray you."

Adyan is right. It is likely that the man who claimed to be named Azri will betray. However, from the beginning Itta never put hope or trust in the man.

Itta had expected himself to be caught or possibly killed. From the beginning the plan was to vent the emotions that were deeply embedded in themselves by injuring the men in black suits.

However, his roommate should have managed to run away when he became a diversion. Unfortunately, fate is not on the good side.

"So, how'd you decide now, miss?" Adyan smiled cunningly. "You want to be the woman next to me and save them, or get them all killed?"

Damnit damnit!

Itta stuck. He cursed himself who thought short and too rash when he took the promise to save them all.

Itta doesn't really know them. But a promise is a promise.

"alright. I accepted your offer, but I have a condition." Finally, Itta made that decision.

"Say."

"Let them get away from this place."

"I'm against that condition."

"What?!"

"If they leave, you have no reason to stay here."

Itta's teeth were churning. "Of course not. There's a contract that binds me."

"The man can break the commandment of his Lord, especially if only a contract is written on paper."

"That's not gonna happen!"

"Who knows?" Adyan shrugged his shoulders. "You take it easy, I won't hurt them. In fact, I'll give them a decent life."

Itta's hands clenched. It's not what he wants, but it's the best option for now.

In the end, Itta nodded in agreement. "alright. But you can't break it either."

"certain."

Adyan called someone to make a contract. The contract stated that Itta would be the woman next to her and Adyan would never be able to hurt her fellow soldiers.

Although he could not release, at least Itta did not get them killed.

The signature of both has been set with a stamp and fingerprints. It was a sign that the deal was officially made.

"good. From now on you're my woman."

Itta had no idea that this contract would someday torment him greatly.

...----------------...

But everything has already been done.

Besides being able to save his fellow soldiers, Itta might also be able to find out the events behind the massacre of his family.

Yes, Itta would never have slept well if he hadn't known the mastermind of his family's killer and the reason he could be in this place.

His family is not a family that can be underestimated. The mastermind behind all this is definitely not a person that is easily overcome.

By having someone like Adyan Abercio on his side, Itta has the power to avenge that person.

There was one person that Itta suspected. Yes, uncle. Mr. Hira Grizelle.

The one who competes for his grandfather's heir.

"You ready? Tonight you're coming with us to Abercio's mansion."

Someone suddenly came and said. Itta turned to find a woman who had once treated his wounds.

"Yes" replied Itta.

"Good."

Adyan had already fulfilled the duty of his father to supervise this place for several days. He's going home tonight.

"May I ask you something?" ask Itta.

"What?"

"I'd like to see my roommate before I go."

It was a sudden request. Itta wasn't sure the woman in front of him would agree.

"alright. You can go there."

Itta's eyes widen.

"Can?" tanyanya.

"certain."

"Did Adyan allow it?"

The woman shrugged her shoulders ignorantly, making Itta secretly snort.

"He didn't say, but it seems to be okay."

"Your sentences are unconvincing."

"So, do you want to meet or not? I can help you if you want."

Itta thought for a moment, then nodded.

This might just be his last chance to meet them. Therefore, Itta wanted to ascertain their condition with his own eyes before leaving.

"Please get me," Itta pinta.

****

The pounding of the feet on the floor echoed throughout the room.

Itta did not go alone, but with Sasha and some of the guards behind.

They entered the door of the room inhabited by Itta's colleagues. Itta walked in alone.

His eyes are exploring around. The room they live in is not as bad as it used to be. Maybe it was because of the contract between Itta and Adyan.

"Look who's coming" said someone.

Sontak Itta searched for the source of the sound.

"Isni, how are you?" tanyakanya. He was quite happy to see that the girl's physical condition was not bad.

But what he got was a cynical smile. "I'm healthy. Sorry, disappointed you."

Itta's eyebrows bend in confusion at the sentence that seemed to insinuate him.

"It's like you don't like me here."

"of course. Not just me, but everyone here hates your presence!"

"What?"

"Yes, we hate you so much."

Itta's eyes are roaming around. It just feels weird. They should be worried because Itta has no news, but the reality is inversely proportional. Their eyes even showed the opposite.

"Isni, stop it." Riana raised her voice.

Itta was touched on the defense.

"That's reality. Everyone here hates this j*lang woman!"

"DESSENTIAL!" riana.

"You're still defending him even if you know he betrayed us?!"

Itta's eyes widened in disbelief. "What do you mean?! I'm not a traitor!"

"Oh, huh?" Isni's eyes showed her real hatred. "You're working with the owner of this place, right? That means you're a traitor!"

Back, Itta was shocked. Although Itta did establish cooperation, but why did they know that?

Who told you?

"You can't dodge anymore." Isni is back to sound.

"I did it to save you."

"Saving?! Who did you save?!" Isni's tone is rising. "You didn't save us, but you did make Elijah die!"

"A—what?"

"Yes! Elijah died because of you!"
