IVANA'S FAKE MARRIAGE
THE DISCUSSION AFTER THE WEDDING

When Jose's car left the civil registry office, no one spoke. Ivana sat next to Jose. While Lizzy joined Sebastian's car that drove behind Jose and Ivana's car.

Jose focused on driving his car at medium speed to Jalisco and headed straight to the plantation which would take an hour drive.

Ivana looked out the glass window more.

Jose's soft kiss was still felt on his lips. From earlier Ivana thought of him and Jose so intimately. Ivana cusses herself on how she can be affected and replies to Jose's kiss no less wildly so.

Half the journey has been through. The atmosphere in the car that Jose was driving was still the same. Silence, no one started the conversation. Only the breath and the knock of Jose's fingers on the steering wheel were heard.

Ivana changed her seat slightly to face Jose.

"You.."

"You.."

Accidentally the two together were about to start talking.

"You speak first" said Jose, looking down at the beautiful Ivana in thin makeup. From that moment on, Jose continued to pay attention to Ivana who was very different. Usually, the girl often wears jeans and tight shirts. This time Ivana is very feminine.

"You go first" replied Ivana. Let Jose continue his stalled speech.

"Lady first".

Ivana's not budging. He was thinking of something that had stuck in his heart since then. "Ehm, Jose...Don't misunderstand the kiss. I just got carried away. You started it. You shouldn't have kissed me like that" said Ivana trying to cover up her embarrassment. His face was red.

She stared at the face of the man who had officially become her husband.

Ivana's speechless. It turns out he was wrong to guess. Jose kissed her affectionately, just a charade in front of the judge. In fact, the kiss did not give any meaning to Jose.

"Hm...I'm sorry we don't have to talk about it anymore". Ivana turned her attention again out the window while leaning her back.

"From now on you live in Almiron".

Hearing the words of Jose Ivana again changed the position of sitting and facing the man. "Of course it's not like that. Our marriage is just a fake wedding. You said it yourself only temporarily until my plantation was safe. I'm staying at Nasviell and you're staying at your estate".

"I decide, don't argue with me Ivana!", Jose insisted with a cold face. The man looked out the window and rubbed his nape.

"I'll put it where you live in your hacienda. I don't want to sleep in one room with you, Jose. Just be right. Let's just go as usual, you live in Almiron and I'm in Nasviell".

"And the criminals will continue to harass you? Is that what you want, Ivana? Or do you want Marco Reus' man to keep coming to offer you money to have Nasviell?", Hardik Jose growled.

Ivana's speechless. He realized that he actually needed protection that has power like Jose while on the plantation.

"But I haven't packed my clothes yet, Jose. You know I actually went back and forth following this marriage invitation. But I don't want to lose Nasviell" Ivana said softly.

Jose can catch any feelings of fear Ivana. Behind her assertiveness Ivana is still a woman who needs protection.

"The problem is your assistant's clothes can take her later. You're safe living in my hacienda, everyone I work with can be trusted. They knew the consequences of betraying Jose Miguel Almiron".
