MARRIED A CRUEL MAN
Episode 10 of Stevi's Suffering

Stevi decides to sleep on the sofa, Alex is outrageous even Stevi is not given a blanket to make Stevi cold and can only hug herself.

"Thomas, you are the beginning of my suffering and I hate you so much. I hope I will never see you again, this is all I take as a warning from God that you are not worthy of me" said Stevi with tears in her eyes.

The next day...

Last night Stevi couldn't sleep well, so this morning she hadn't woken up at all. Meanwhile, Alex has come out of the bathroom and changed his clothes in a casual dress because today he and Stevi are still on a wedding leave.

Alex approached Stevi, who was currently asleep, curled up on the sofa due to the cold.

Alex looked at Stevi's face. "I didn't expect, behind your beautiful face that always brings a smile to anyone is the face of a seductress who has slept with many men," said Alex.

Alex kicked the sofa which made Stevi startled and woke up.

"So long hours have not been awake, the basic lazy woman is very different from Maya who is diligent and good at cooking. Boro-boro can make me, wake up!" jolt Alex.

"I can cook Brother, what do you want me to cook?" ask Stevi.

"I don't want to eat the handmade of a cheap woman like you. Take a quick shower 'cause I'm gonna take you out of here."

Stevi did not want to say much, she went straight into the bathroom to clean her body. When he finished, Stevi came out and followed Alex down.

"For Ma, Pa," said Stevi.

"August, baby. Let's have breakfast with us."

Stevi sat next to Alex, Alex looked very indifferent even when he was busy eating bread without caring about Stevi at all.

"Ma, Pa, today Alex wants Stevi to move home to Alex's house" he exclaimed.

"Is your home really ready?" ask Papa Bobby.

"It was a month ago."

"Alright if you want to take Stevi away from this house, but remember one thing Papa asked you to take care of Stevi and don't hurt her."

Alex was just silent, actually the reason he invited Stevi to move to his house so that Alex was more free to do anything without any interference from his parents.

The house is actually Alex prepared for himself and Maya if someday they get married, but now Stevilah is the first woman who will set foot in Alex's house.

"Stevi, both of your parents have already entrusted you to us so if there is anything you should not hesitate to talk to us" exclaimed Mama Linda.

"Good, Ma."

Alex and Stevi finally left the house of Alex's parents, during the trip Alex was silent his face cold and creepy made Stevi did not dare just to invite him to talk.

"Whatever happens to you, do not let you complain to my parents or your parents because if it happens, I'll do something much more painful and you'll never forget your whole life" Alex said.

"Why did you change? brother wasn't like this in the past, but now Brother seems to hate me?" ask Stevi.

"Yes, because I was fooled by your kind and friendly attitude when in reality your heart and behavior were so very rotten."

"Don't pretend to be stupid, I already know everything about you. And I hate you so much because of you, I can't marry Maya and we're almost broken up."

"I told you, Brother, divorce me right now if you hate me" said Stevi with trembling lips.

Alex smiled cynically. "Are you sure you want a divorce with me right now? what about the fate of Heri? isn't it your dad has heart disease? he was already very shocked by yesterday's incident, now you want to add to his surprise with the news of this divorce? is that what you want?" cynical Alex.

Stevi's tears have been shed, it's true what Alex said that his Papi is currently suffering from heart disease. If Stevi is divorced the day after marriage, it is likely to make her Papi surprised and will endanger her health.

A few moments later, Alex stopped his car in a large, luxurious house. Without saying much, Stevi followed Alex from behind.

"This is my room and yours, that's it" Alex pointed.

Stevi nodded her head, Alex contacted someone and Stevi knew who Alex was calling.

"I want to meet Maya, I'll probably be home tonight."

Alex quickly leaves the house leaving Stevi, while Stevi quickly orders a taxi online as she is eager to return home to pick up her clothes and belongings.

"Assalamualaik."

"Waalaikumsalam, Stevi."

Nia got up from her seat and immediately hugged her beloved daughter.

"You came here alone? where's Alex's son?" mami Nia asked.

"Sir Alex is at Mi's house, maybe she's a soy sauce and Stevi doesn't feel good bothering her so Stevi's here alone" Stevi lied, pretending to smile.

Stevi approached her Papi who had already noticed her.

"Is Papi okay?" ask Stevi.

"Hi, Papi's fine should be Papi who asked like that. Are you all right? did Alex treat you well?" papi asked Heri by rubbing Stevi's head.

Stevi could not hold back her tears anymore. "Stevi is fine too Pi, and Alex's brother treats Stevi very well even now Alex's brother has brought Stevi to his house" Stevi lied.

"Thank God, Papi was thinking that Alex was gonna hurt you because Alex just left you yesterday."

"Yesterday Alex's brother left maybe he was shocked because he suddenly had to marry Stevi in place of Thomas. Even though Alex already considers Stevi as his own brother," said Stevi.

"But sure, Alex will take care of you and over time love will grow in your hearts" said Papi Heri.

"Yes, Pi."

Again Stevi had to smile full of falsehood, Stevi had to show happiness in front of both parents especially in front of her Papi because Stevi did not want to until the Papi sad and affect her health.

After talking, Stevi went into his room to clean up the clothes and things he would bring.

"I'm sorry Stevi, Mi, Pi, because Stevi lied to you. Stevi doesn't want to make you sad, let all this be Stevi's secret" said Stevi with tears in her eyes.
