After the night is late, Leo tells Elica to rest. And Elica said Leo. Because Elica also feels if lately her body is always weak and easily tired. Finally tomorrow morning Leo invited her to check on Elica's condition, whether or not she was really pregnant.

Elica had already slept in Leo's room. Leo himself was still sitting in the middle room. Several times Leo can hear if Elica's phone keeps ringing.  He knows who called him, Alex.

Because of the end of his annoyance, Leo also intends to lift the call, because Elica's phone is still on the middle room table.

"Hello" said Leo raising the call.

("Who are you, where's Elica?")

"You're looking for Elica well, she's where I am right now. He's sleeping"

("You haven't answered my question. Who're you?")

"I'm Elica's boyfriend, who are you?"

("Don't brag. Now hand this phone over to Elica")

"Are you deaf? I told you he was sleeping. Anyway it's midnight, don't you know how Krama doesn't call at night. You're so upset"

Leo immediately decided the call was one-sided. She had not expected that Elica would experience something like this. Being in a relationship with her own stepfather, is ridiculous indeed. But Leo never once touched on the attitude that Elica took. Because he was afraid that Elica would hate him. The tired Leo finally chose to sleep on the sofa.

********************

In the morning Elica wakes up from sleep, but she finds that Leo has left for work early. Leo left a little memo in the fridge and he had prepared breakfast for Elica.

Elica smiled knowing Leo's sweet attitude this morning.

He also chose breakfast in the living room while turning on the tv.

Elica ate all the food on the table. But for a moment he stopped his eating activity after hearing the news on tv.

"Beautiful model Evelyn Wilhemton has divorced her husband.  She chose to return to her home country and continue her journey as a professional model here. Some sources say Evelyn's husband had an affair with a business partner in Hawaii. And now Evelyn's settled in Washington DC."

Elica was stunned to hear the news this morning, could it be that the Evelyn in question was Alex's former first. That was once said by some woman in the toilet at her mother's wedding. Elica immediately opened her phone to find out the truth in an online news.

Damn, that's right. After Elica read some articles a few years ago it was true that the woman named Evelyn was Alex's former lover. But she chose to marry a Turkish businessman rather than Alex. And now the woman is divorced. Evelyn is already in town.

************************

In the afternoon Elica intends to meet her mother at the boutique. He'll be there without telling his mother. Elica was planning to tell the news about Evelyn. Although somehow her mother should also know, and Elica hopes her mother will realize if Alex made her mother just venting alone.

Elica headed to the boutique using her own self-drive car. A few minutes later, he arrived at his mother's place. He was greeted by the waiter there with respect. Then take Elica to her mother's room. He entered the room after knocking on the door.

"Mom"

"Elica, you're from anywhere. Why didn't you come home yesterday?" Elica's mother came straight for Elica.

"I... Stay at my friend's house Mom."

"So what did your dad say was right?"

"What did Alex say, Mom?" Ask Elica.

"Don't call Alex, Elica. Call him dad. Yesterday your father said you refused to go home with him and chose to go with your friends."

Hilda answered, with a crisp laugh from Elica. Though Alex was the one who brought her forcibly and locked her up her apartment. Channeled ****** its bejad on Elica that day.

"Mom, can you just one day not believe what he's saying. Because everything she said wasn't necessarily Mom's right"

"What do you mean, baby? Mon doesn't understand"

"Why do you love that guy so much?" Asked Elica with a serious face.

"Sit down Elica. Mom is confused by what you said. You come and ask the impossible. Of course Mom loves Alex, baby"

"Did Mom love me too?"

"of course. You're Mommy's most beloved child in the world" Hilda said, stroking her daughter's hair.

"I want something, can Mom give it?"

"Of course baby. Mom will give it to you. Now tell me what you're asking for?"

"Can Mom get a divorce from Alex?"

Degs...

The look on Hilda's face stiffened immediately. He was very surprised by what Elica said.

"He's not a good man Mom. Believe it. He's evil. She doesn't deserve love from you, Mom. He's not as good as you think"

Plaakkkp..

Instantly Hilda's hand immediately slapped Elica's cheek hard. He was very unlikely that Elica would say that. Why can't her daughter see Alex's kindness all along.

"What right do you say divorce in front of Mommy, Elica. What's really in your head, do you deserve to say that to Mommy? Mommy thinks you've fully accepted Alex as your father, so that's all just your lie, Elica? After what Alex gave us."

Elica was still holding her cheek which was still hot over her mother's slap.

"Why didn't Mom ever believe me?" Said Elica.

"Of course Mommy doesn't trust her. You remember, you used to say ugly things about Alex in front of Mommy. And you get a similar slap. Do you still not understand about it. If you don't like what Alex gave you in your life right now, you just go back to living with your father Elica"

Elica stood up from her seat and intended to leave her mother's room. But before she opened the door, she stopped her steps and turned to face her mother who looked still Emotional. Elica smiled sinisterly as her mother returned her gaze.

"Well, what do I regret most in this world? I'm sorry I had a mother like you. Even a wolf would die for his son. But my mother, willing to die just for the sake of treasure. I'm going"

It looks like Elica put the keys to the car she was carrying on her mother's desk.

Elica leaves Hilda, who starts crying. Hilda's heart ached so much with what Elica said, she also lamented for her attitude earlier that slapped the little princess.

Flashback....

Before Elica goes to her mom's boutique, she chooses to go to the gynecologist first. To see if she is really pregnant or not.

After he waited for the queue, it was finally Elica's turn to arrive. He went into the check room.

And sure enough, the doctor said that if Elica was pregnant entering the age of 3 weeks. In that instant, Elica's world stopped spinning. So it's true, if she's pregnant with Alex's seed.

After the examination was completed, Elica came out with an empty mind. He was confused as to what to do now. Whether she had to abort her or defend her, Elica had unknowingly caressed her own stomach.

I don't know why there's such affection for the fetus inside her right now. No, she should not be weak just because of this fetus. And all she has to do now is meet her mother to tell her all. He drove his car at high speed to the boutique. But unfortunately after his meeting with his mother, only a slap that he got. Elica deeply regrets that.

Flashback.

***************************

Now Elica is on the playground, somehow she chose to come here after the quarrel with her mother. When he was a kid when he was snooping with his mom, he would run away to the playground. And in the afternoon he would come home as if nothing had ever happened.

But now her circumstances are different, even her mother has told her to leave her life. Miris indeed, but there was nothing else she could do now.

And somehow his tears just keep flowing even though his heart has been trying to be strong.

Suddenly someone gave Elica a jacket from behind. Suddenly, Elica turned around to see who she was.

Alex. A smile is the first thing Alex gives Elica.

"What are you doing here?" Said Elica cynically while removing the jacket Alex gave to close his shoulder earlier.

"Of course pick you up"

"But I don't want to go with you. And don't try to take me by force again."

"Yesterday was so much fun for me"

"Why are you here?" Ask Elica

"So your mother called me, you guys had a fight earlier" Alex said

Elica did not answer her she chose silence.

"Did he slap you?" Alex asked intending to touch Elica's cheeks that looked still red. But quickly Elica brushed it off.

"Don't touch me. And it's none of your business"

"Why did you ask your mother to divorce me?"

"Go away. I don't want to talk to you"

"But I still want to....."

"Elica..." Said Leo who suddenly came. Elica calls Leo to pick him up at the park before Alex arrives.

Alex and Elica look at Leo. Leo approached the two.

"You're Elica here. I'm looking for you" Leo said

"You..." Alex said stuck. Hearing Alex's voice, Leo looked directly at Alex.

"Oh Mr. Alex, you're here the way it looks. Sorry I didn't notice your presence." Leo said to Alex.

"You know Elica?" Ask Alex

"Of course Mr. Alex. He's your stepdaughter now. But he is also my lover" Leo replied.

"Love? Elica didn't say anything to me"

"On you?" Ask Leo

"I mean with me and her mom, if she has a boyfriend. Since when do you guys know each other?" Alex was very surprised and also curious about the relationship.

"Long time. Elica also stayed at my place a lot. So I picked her up to come home today"

"But sorry Leo, today Elica is going home to me. Her mother was waiting too" Alex said

"No. I'm going home to Leo's. And I'm sorry, Mr. Alex, I'm not going back to your house either." Now Elica opens her voice and directly refuses Alex to go home with her.

Alex looks very angry with Elica's words. Apparently behind her, Elica had dared to play with other men. And managed to make Alex's heart hot.

Wait, is Alex jealous now?. But no matter what, now all Alex wants is to take Elica home with him, and lock her up.

Leo was seen holding Elica to come home with her, but quickly Alex's hand also immediately grabbed Elica's hand. Leo and Elica turned to Alex.

"You think you're going where Elica is. You still have parents, and now I'm your father. You can't go with a stranger to go home with her. I'm not letting you go with her. And you're Leo, I respect you because you're a well-acquainted person at the Club. So act like a nice guy" said Alex, who kept Elica from leaving.

"What do you mean, Mr Alex? You think of me as a jerk guy that has a club? Very funny" Leo replied in a cynical tone.

"Elica is my son now. So it's my right to forbid her to go with another man"

"But it looks like Elica turned it down, doesn't it?" Ask Leo to Elica

"Sure Leo. I wouldn't even call her dad" replied Elica.

"See. Listen to Mr. Alex for yourself, what my lover said" Leo said.

"Elica came home with me" growled Alex who began to pull Elica's hand.

"Don't touch her. You hurt his hand. He doesn't want to go home with you. Don't force it" Leo brushed Alex's hand off

Buggh...

A very upset Alex finally hits Leo in the face until Leo falls to the ground. He's lost his temper with Leo and Elica.

"Alex you're crazy. Why hit Leo" snapped Elica. He tries to help Leo but is immediately restrained by Alex.

"Let go" said Elica as her hand was drawn by Alex.

"Go home now"

"No, let go. Leo help me"

Soon Leo got up and replied to Alex. He immediately gave Bogeman to Alex until the grip of Alex's hand to Elica regardless.

The extremely shocked Elica instantly shut her mouth.

Now the two men are repelling each other. The two fought on the ground. Eventually many people came to separate the fights of the two.

Alex's face was seen bleeding in the nose and temples of his eyes. While Leo bleeds on his lips and cheeks look blue. Both clothes are dirty. Elica immediately approached Leo and moved away from Alex who was staring at them sharply.

Leo finally took Elica away. While Elica looks crying, because she Leo so like this.

After a while, they arrived at Leo's apartment.

Elica hurriedly took medicine and ice to treat the bruises on Leo's face.

Soon Elica also brought new clothes for Leo, because her clothes were very dirty.

Elica painstakingly cleaned Leo's wound slowly.

"If it hurts to say, Leo" said Elica when compressing Leo's cheek with ice.

"Not sick Elica"

"I'm sorry. Because of me you're getting hurt like this"

"It's okay Elica. After all a man fighting is natural. This wound is just a small thing to me"

Elica smiled at Leo's words. Leo was happy that Elica was smiling again. Long Leo watched Elica's face up close.

"Elica"

"Hm"

"What if I get married?" Leo's words immediately made Elica stop her activities to treat Leo's wounds.

"You've helped me a lot, Leo. So you don't have to go that far" replied Elica

"Despite me helping you, but it looks like I've started loving you, too"
