IVANA'S FAKE MARRIAGE
ALMIRON PLANTATION IN SERANG

"Take me off" said Ivana.

There were footsteps approaching. Ivana couldn't see who they were, as her eyes were covered with cloth.

"Open, the cloth! The big boss wanted to see it!", it sounded someone giving orders to the others.

Someone who was given the order to open Ivana's blindfold. Slowly Ivana could see around her. Although it was daytime but the room was so dark without the slightest illumination.

"Who are y'all? What do you want from me?", asked Ivana working her eyes.

With a limited view, Ivana could see five burly men standing nearby.

"Smk..

"Smk..

"prok ..

"A naive girl, how are you? Let's see who wins. Haha".

"Arciela?". Ivana was surprised who she saw right in front of her at this moment. He was standing next to a fat man who had a tattoo on his neck to his arm. Ivana didn't know the man at all.

Right behind that Arciela, Lupe. The woman smiled cunningly at Ivana who was shocked by the current situation.

Flashback of previous events..

"Have we met before? Your face is no stranger to me..."

Lupe smiled cynically at Dulce's question. "Of course you know me. I am an accomplice of Gustave, your uncle!", replied Lupe as he pointed a gun at Ivana and Dulce.

Ivana and Dulce are shocked to see Lupe pointing a gun that turns out to be underneath in the bag.

 "What are you doing, Lupe?", cried Ivana.

"Shoot the girl and take you away!"

"Dorrr"..

"Akhich...

There was a cry of Dulce who was shot in the shoulder.Dulce suddenly sprawled with fresh blood.

"No. Dulce..."

"Lupe why you shot Dulce. What do you want from me?!"

Ivana is about to help Dulce, but her arm is forcibly removed by Lupe. "You come with me or you die like that girl!", cried Lupe belligerently.

Hearing the gunshots from inside the study, Hilda and the other servants saw what was happening. How shocked they were to see Lupe pointing a gun at them and dragging Ivana out the hacienda.

Ivana gestured for Hilda and the other servants to calm down. He did not shout, Ivana followed Lupe.

Flashback off

"You know I've been planning everything for a long time Ivana hahaa" Arciela laughed triumphantly at Ivana's nanar tied to a wooden chair in the damp, stuffy room.

Ivana tried to move her hand, while making an indistinct sound.

"Why dear, do you want to let go of yourself? your handsome husband won't be able to help you anymore. Because he's dead! Gustave's men have finished off your beloved Jose" Arciela said as she walked closer to Ivana.

 "Torturing you and making you suffer for life" Arciela said confidently. "Your life is always lucky, Ivana. You have nothing on my appeal. But you've always been lucky. Everybody loves you".

"Basic fool!"

"Plakkkp..

Ivana turned her face. Arciela gave a hard slap right in Ivana's face. Ivana could feel the fresh blood salty on her lips.

While Ivana can also feel the vibration of her cellphone in the pocket of the pregnant dress she wears. Ivana just remembered, in his pocket there is his cellphone.

Don't know who's contacting her at the moment, hopefully tracking her whereabouts.

Jose and his confidants are inside the hacienda. They can take down Gustave's men. Luckily the police arrived on time and immediately took Gustave's men to the police station. But Jose is shocked when Hilda tells Ivana she kidnapped Lupe. And Lupe shot Dulce.

Jose, Ellios, Adrian and Hector ran to see what happened. How shocked to see Dulce lying down while grimacing in pain. A waiter cleans a gunshot wound with alcohol.

"Dulce where is my wife?", cried Jose.

"I-vana with the evil woman i-tu", lirih Dulce stammered with the pain.

"Brongha.."

With a clenched hand Jose hit the glass table hard until it broke. "The devil's woman hasn't changed. This is what they planned. Makes us careless. The attack was just a diversion. Fuck you, Gustave...Lupe. I'll look for you in the ant hole even once", said Jose emotion.

"Fuck you Lupe!"

Jose incubating. "Ahl. You're a ludicrous Lupe.."

Jose scatters everything on his desk. Until it fell to the floor.

"Sir, Lupe used the plantation car with Miss Ivana through the back gate. Some of the guards left there were unsuspecting because Miss Ivana ordered to open the gate", adrian said that he just got the information from the guards.

"Find my wife soon!"

Hector was silent to hear and witness everything. Both of his hands clenched in anger.

"Oh mama.why do you have the heart. This time I won't forgive you, ma. You really hurt my feelings. Mama", muttered Hector who helped medics bring Dulce into an ambulance. The two men's eyes seemed to be teary thinking about Lupe's actions beyond reason.

A few moments later...

"Mr Jose, like Miss Ivana brought her phone. If it's true we can trace the whereabouts of your wife, sir", Ellios approached Jose and showed him his cell phone that was calling Ivana's number.

A cold face with hardened jaws was clearly visible on Jose's face. He rubbed his temple rough. Jose was shaking his waist while staring at the floor of his room. He thought hard to save his wife.

*

"Hold on, baby, I'll find you soon. I beg you to take care of your safety and that of our son, Ivana" Jose said as he struggled with his Macbook to find Ivana's tracks. For Jose as the owner of a software company, it is not difficult to find Ivana's whereabouts. As now he and Ellios have found Ivana's position on the border of the city.

Ellios had already put their men on guard around the site, which Ivana suspected was holding.

"I'll kill you both Gustave Lupe if anything happens to my wife and son..."
