Let Me Love Your Wife (Not an Ex)
Zara

Since the morning heavy rain flushed the city of Jakarta. The usual hot atmosphere suddenly chills. However, the activity of its inhabitants did not recede. The streets remained congested, even to the point of being jammed. In fact, it's the weekend.

Among the many vehicles that race with time, there is one of them Reyvan's Honda Civic. He has plans to go to someone, who can't be delayed tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.

After a long journey, Reyvan finally arrived at the destination—minimalist house with the dominant white color—home Tom Linzy.

Reyvan got out of the car and used an umbrella to ward off the rain, then approached the gate and pressed the bell.

Shortly after, a teenage girl arrives and welcomes Reyvan.

"Who are you looking for, sir?"

"Mr Linzy. Does he exist?" ask Reyvan.

"Oh, come on in! Papa's inside." The girl smiled kindly.

"Thank you."

Reyvan follows the girl and enters Tom Linzy's house. She waited in the living room, while the girl called her father.

Moments later, the adult man she had been involved with came and greeted her.

"How are you, Mr Rey?" greet Tommy.

"Good." Reyvan answered briefly.

"What brought you here? It looks like ... not a normal family," Tommy guessed.

"How much are you getting paid to interfere in my business?" asked Reyvan without further ado.

Tommy stares, "What do you mean? I ... I don't understand."

"You're Maverick Shane, right?" Reyvan stared hard.

Tommy looked down and avoided Reyvan's deadly gaze. Although Reyvan's age is far below it, but his authority and charisma are far above it.

"How much are you getting paid?" Reyvan asked again.

"Sorry, Mr. Rey. I___"

"Tell me who's the pawn! I'm willing to pay you like him, even more. It depends on how much information you provide" Reyvan concluded.

"I don't know, Mr. Rey. After the Royal Garden project ended, I never got in touch with him again" Tommy replied.

"Omong empty!"

"I___"

"Although not as great as him, but I'm quite capable of destroying your business! Remember, you are just a pawn, at any time can be thrown away. You don't think he'll always help you, do you?" Reyvan cut Tommy's words.

"I understand."

"If you understand, I suggest not arouse my emotions. I never play with words. Take that, sir!" Reyvan.

"But .. I really don't know, Mr. Rey. I was just carrying out his orders regarding the Royal Garden project, while the others I didn't interfere at all" Tommy replied.

Maybe Tommy's words are true. Reyvan continued to deny. Actually, not because of disbelief, but did not find any more gaps to detect the Mavericks pawns around him. So far, all he's expected is Tommy.

"I swear, I don't know which projects Mr. Maverick intervened in." Tommy spoke again, but Reyvan only snorted in annoyance.

"But .. I know about someone close to Mr. Maverick, who is currently also near you. He works in your office" Tomny continued.

"Who? Tell me who he is!" ask him quickly.

"She__"

"Mr Linzy, I don't like to mince words. Tell me who he is!" reyvan said firmly. He's upset that Tommy's been quiet for a long time.

"Zara's. I've seen him ride in a car with Mr. Maverick. I'm sure their relationship isn't just familiar."

Tommy's answer made Reyvan flinch. Zara, an employee whom she often praised for her outstanding achievements. However, who would have thought he was actually related to Maverick— - a man who is now his toughest rival.

"Zara?" Reyvan murmured.

"Yes, Mr. Rey." Tommy nodded. "But I don't know they are close in terms of business or personal matters" he said.

Reyvan's eyes squinted, imagining the figure of Zara who had always looked innocent and simple.

"As a boss, I gave my best. If you dare to betray, wait and see how I'll settle you. No matter if you are a woman, once wrong is still wrong" Reyvan said in his heart.

After getting some useful information, Reyvan left Tommy's residence. He returned to the car under the rain.

While driving, Reyvan took the time to contact Izal.

"Hallo, Mr. Rey," said Izal from across the street.

"Tell Zara, tell her to see me in the morning" Reyvan said without further ado.

"Tomorrow there is a meeting schedule with clients related to occupancy in the Royal Garden. Zara herself is coming there, sir," said Izal.

Reyvan is holding his temple. As a man who always put forward logic, it was impossible to get Zara to postpone or cancel the meeting, especially for personal gain.

"alright. After settling with the client, ask to see me as soon as possible," Reyvan said a moment later.

"Good, Sir. I'll tell him."

After hearing Izal's ability, Reyvan disconnected the phone. Then, refocus on the steering.

The rain still sounds the same. However, it did not disturb the calmness of Elle who was reading a book in Aurora's room. Not a romantic novel with a million sweet stories, or a fantasy comic with high imagination. The book Elle read was just a fairy tale suitable for children.

"My childhood never read fairy tales, it turns out .. quite interesting," muttered Elle.

As the only daughter of a conglomerate, her life demands many things. He is required to be accomplished and multi-talented. Every second of the day is spent studying. Learning knowledge, or skills.

Once upon a time, Elle felt tired and thought it was easier to be an ordinary person. However, his father always insisted that it was very useful for the future.

"But .. if I spend time reading fairy tales, how can I get through hard times. Maybe ... I'll just be a burden to Mama" continued Elle.

His mind wandered into the past, when his family lost the title of conglomerate. He and his parents were forced to leave Spain and return to his mother's homeland—Indonesia.

"Although our lives aren't as good as they used to be, just be grateful, honey. Do not keep hatred, let alone vengeance. No matter how evil they are, in his body flows the same blood as us. Let God remind him, we must not dirty our hands and be cruel as he is. Because if that happens, we are included in the golongannya" Andres advice at that time.

Elle exhaled a long breath while smiling bitterly. Andres is the wisest man. Despite being in strict business, but he never cheated, let alone toyed with life. He struggled with persistence and honesty. In fact, even when the world is unfair, Andres never holds a grudge. But baby, a man as good as him was picked up by God early.

"Gelle!"
