My Husband's Love Is Not For Me
23. Barrel Storytelling

"Wake up!" said Ray.

The man roused Kirana up violently. These nights actually Ray does not want to look for Kirana. But what can be done, he needs money to spend.

"Why are you here?" ask Kirana.

"Give me some money!" said Ray. Unlike Kirana who panicked, Ray was relaxed.

The woman was completely inexhaustible with Ray's behavior. Already deprived him of all his money, pushed him until the child in his stomach miscarried and now asked for money. After everything Ray did, did Ray think Kirana would give him any more money?

"Aren't you the one who drained the money I got from Nathan?" ask Kirana.

"Your money is running out, but you still have this" Ray replied. Ray snatched Kirana's necklace by force. Then still stripped of the jewelry that was still attached to Kirana's hands and ears by force.

"Ray, don't overdo it. Nathan will be here soon to drop off my stuff. Aren't you afraid I'm gonna complain to Nathan?" threaten Kirana's.

Ray is not afraid. But instead laughs satisfied with the threat. "Then just stir it up. Do you think you're the only one who can complain. Kirana, you better obey. Give me all the treasure you have. Because otherwise, I'm going to tell Nathan that the fallen child is not his son but my son" challenged Ray.

"Ray, did you forget. If you complain, not only am I destroyed, but you are also destroyed. It was even you who asked me to act as if that damn Oddie was the one who miscarried me!" shout Kirana.

"I know I'd be devastated if I said that. But I'd rather be crushed with you than you who destroyed me first and enjoyed Nathan's treasure alone" Ray said, gripping Kirana's cheek.

Kirana could only clench her hands. Ray doesn't seem that stupid. But Kirana isn't that stupid either and lets Ray complain. This time, he could only comply with all of Ray's requests because they were on the same ship. Then after Kirana married Nathan and mastered his property later, then Kirana will take care of Ray with her own hands.

"Is this all?" ask Ray.

"Nothing else!" answer Kirana.

Although it looks dissatisfied, but Ray is not pushy anymore. There is no longer anything. "I know you still have more at Nathan's house. Give it to me as soon as you're out of the hospital," Ray said, then passed.

Ray immediately walked out of Kirana's room. Went to the parking lot happy without knowing Nathan was waiting for him there. It's good that it's just Nathan. The problem is that ten bodyguards are standing behind him and ready to catch Ray.

Ray's smile faded as soon as he saw Nathan. He ran as fast as he could to save his life. But in the face of the already angry Dean Nathan, will Ray's small efforts pay off? Of course not. Because less than ten meters Ray had been successfully paralyzed.

"Dean Nathan!" shouted Ray.

The man tried to fight despite the failure. Nathan approaches and takes back what Ray stole from Kirana. Return it to Kirana? Of course not. Because Nathan prefers to give a set of jewelry to one of his bodyguards.

"This is for you. Sell it and make sure you share it fairly. But don't forget to take care of this guy first" Nathan said.

"Ready, Boss! Thanks!" guards' sahut.

"Just calm. I will destroy him just like you, too" Nathan said.

The bodyguard immediately took Ray to be executed. Nathan called Leah that night. "Please sell all of Kirana's bags, jewelry and valuables. That house I don't want anymore. Tell Lastri, Maman and the two guards to get ready. I'll move house as soon as I can, "rich Nathan.

"Now too?" ask Leah from across the street.

"Not necessary now. But I want all of Kirana's stuff you've picked up tomorrow" Nathan replied.

"All right, Young Master!" sahut Leah's.

Nathan immediately turns off his phone so as not to keep ringing due to a call from Kirana. The man peeked from far away, not out of worry. But just wanted to make sure the bodyguards he sent to watch Kirana did their job well.

Finished with all that, Nathan immediately returned to Oddie's room. Opened the door very slowly before sitting next to him. Oddie still did not wake up because the doctor deliberately gave the medicine so that Oddie can rest soundly.

Nathan holds Oddie in one hand. Kissed her a few times with a face full of regret. Honestly, Nathan didn't dare look at Oddie even though he was asleep. Especially when she recalled how she had treated Oddie all this time.

Poor little oddie. Oddie was always crying. Oddie who always chose to endure the pain rather than beg for mercy on her when she hit him. A wife he never even allowed in his bed except when he was sick that night.

"I'm sorry, Die! I'm so much wrong" Nathan murmured.

Nathan sees Oddie's scarred body. Given Oddie's malfunctioning eyes and limping legs. Nathan started crying in silence. He still remembered how perfect Oddie was at that time. Oddie whom he loved so much when he was a student.

So, what did Nathan love Oddie before?

The answer is yes. Nathan was after Oddie's love that day. More precisely after an accidental meeting while attending a corporate birthday event. At that time Nathan accidentally met with Oddie who brought his father and Nathan instantly fascinated.

After the incident, Nathan often comes to campus only to give a white rose to Oddie. But Oddie's too hard to catch. He even smiled without answering anything as Nathan expressed his feelings. Until one day Nathan had to go abroad to continue his education. Nathan is coming again. Not just a rose for Oddie. But also say good-bye.

"I love you, Die! But I have to go. But don't be afraid, I will definitely return to marry you. So make sure your ring finger is still empty until that time comes."

That's Nathan's promise to Oddie before he leaves. Not just giving Oddie a wedding appointment. Nathan also hugs and steals Oddie's first kiss without permission.

Nathan really left after that. Leaving Oddie who begins to fall in love with a Dean Nathan who always gives him a flower though in a different way.

The love continues to bloom, until the corruption case breaks out and Oddie must let go when his father and mother are detained. Let go when the officer destroys the flowers Nathan gave him that he did not throw away even though it had dried up. Of course Oddie must also be willing when his father dies and Dean Nathan really keeps his promise to marry him. The difference is that the wedding is no longer the wedding Dean Nathan promised.

"I know you'll never forgive me, Die! But can you give me one chance?" nathan murmured with tears.
