"Where's Icha?" marcello asked one of the servants who was still cleaning his room.
Marcello looked around him and he could not find his little wife anywhere.
"Miss there's a need, sir. Said there were some cops who wanted to see him."
"What's? The cops?! But why did they meet my wife?" screeched Marcello while linking her eyebrows while looking at the servant.
"I'm sorry, sir. I don't know about that. But for sure, Miss Marissa and Mr. Joe were in Miss Marissa's room with the Police" the maid said, bowing her head.
Marcello felt a bad feeling. Without a second thought, Marcello rushed to Marissa's room and met her. Once in the room, it was true. Marissa and Joe were already there with some police officers searching Marissa's room.
Marissa's face looked pale. He watched the policemen who were searching his room with anxious faces. He even endlessly crushed his two hands in turn.
"What's this?" ask Marcello to panic.
He approached Marissa and grabbed her shoulder.
"Miss Marissa is accused of stealing and faking Miss Sarrah's ring and they're looking for evidence" Joe said.
Marcello became inflamed after hearing their accusations against his little wife. He could not accept Marissa being accused of being a thief.
"No way! Marissa couldn't have done it" Marcello said.
Sarrah was delighted to see Marcello finally appear in the room. He walked over to the man and then tried to grab his arm the same way he used to.
"Marcel, I'm serious! Your adopted son stole our wedding ring and he faked it. Do you remember what happened to my ring finger? It happened because the ring I used was a fake ring while the real one was kept by this girl!" sarrah glared at Marissa who was standing next to Marcello.
"Get your hands off!" Marcello brushed Sarrah's arms off. He no longer wanted to be touched and deal with her any more.
Marissa smiled faintly as she watched Marcello reject the woman. While Sarrah must resist embarrassment and be upset because Marcello has rejected it.
"I don't understand why you're doing this, Sarrah! Do you still not understand what I told you last night?!" the upset.
Suddenly one of the police found the diamond ring on the sidelines of the clothes arranged in the girl's wardrobe.
"Is this really the ring?" the police asked, showing Marissa, Marcello and Sarrah a diamond ring.
"Yes! That's my ring, sir."
Sarrah glanced at Marissa who now could not hide her panicked face. "What did I really say? This girl has already taken my ring and traded it for a fake!" the upset.
Marcello who was no less panicked, grabbed the pale face of Marissa then looked at the girl fixedly. "Is that true, Cha? Did you really do it?!" ask Marcello.
"Don't! Don't take him, please!"
Marcello arrests the Police who want to take Marissa away from her Mansion while pleading.
"Sir, this must be a misunderstanding! Icha'ku can't possibly do that?!"
"I'm sorry, Mr. Marcello. We have found evidence of a crime committed by Miss Marissa and we must immediately take her to the office to be questioned" said Mr. Police.
"But-"
Marcello said, The police have led the girl out of her room. Sarrah was so happy because her plan worked. It doesn't matter if Marcello refuses, but at the very least, Marissa can't have Marcello because she's going to rot in prison, that's what she's thinking now.
Marcello rushes to follow the police who are still driving Marissa to their car. With a panicked face, he kept calling out the girl's name.
Until finally Marissa was put in a police car. Marissa called Marcello before the car drove off, leaving her Mansion. Sarrah, too, darted away from that place.
Marcello was silent in the front yard of his Mansion while thinking hard. He thought about how to get the girl out of the police's grip.
"Joe, do you still keep Sarrah's disgusting video with the Producer?" marcello asked as he watched the gate that was still wide open.
"Of course, sir." Joe grinned, he understood what he had to do now.
"I'd better catch up with Marissa, she must be freaking out there" he said as he rushed to his car.
Of course Joe understood, he immediately opened the car door for Marcello then immediately drove the car to the Police station.
"Joe, why would Marissa do such a ridiculous thing? If he told me that he wanted a ring like Sarrah's, I would buy it. It's even more expensive and better than that" said Marcello, with a massage on his temples because his head hurt. He did not stop thinking about the behavior of his little girl.
"I think the reason is because Miss Marissa doesn't like Miss Sarrah, that's why she did it. Not because he wanted the ring, sir," Joe said.
"really? But, why?" Marcello stared at Joe's shielded back.
"Because Miss Marissa loves you, sir? Can't you realize that?!"
Joe bit his lip. He did not expect that those words would just slide out of his mouth.
"really? Marissa fell in love with me? But are you sure of that, Joe? Because all this time I thought Marissa's love was only monkey love, so I didn't take it too seriously" he said.

(Readers, try to read the previous chapter yes, let's not misunderstand 😅 the ring was indeed returned by Sarrah into Marissa's wardrobe because he had long wanted to trap the girl.)
