Go awayl.

That's what Elica wants to do now. If there's anyone she's a coward, then Elica won't dismiss her. He is trapped in his own game. Error, revenge that made him suffer.

If only time could be turned, maybe first Elica would prefer to live with her father alone. And not caring about her mother's life then causes her self to do the stupid thing about that ridiculous revenge.

To be honest, Elica from yesterday was still mingled Alex's words

"Go as far as you can, this time I'll let you go. But if I ever find you again, don't expect you to run away again. Because at that time you only had two choices, Elica. Go or die"

Elica doesn't know what the words mean, but what she's worried about now is that if she leaves, she's afraid Alex will do something unexpected and might hurt someone else.

And Elica doesn't want it until someone gets hurt later.

Although she knows now that she and her mother are still safe in Leo's place, Elica is still not calm with what she is thinking at the moment.

"You're thinking about what Elica is" asked Leo who saw Elica daydreaming on the porch of her house.

Today Leo has not yet left for his office. For the reason that he still wants to be home.

"I didn't think of Leo. Why haven't you left yet? It's noon"

"It's okay Elica. Even if I was late, no one dared to scold me. I'm the boss, you forgot." Said Leo with a smile.

"You are, don't set a bad example for your employees"

"Look down, Elica, I'm still the role model boss. Actually today I'll take care of the paperwork for us to go to Germany next week"

"Ah. so well. So we're leaving next week?"

"Yes. Is it too soon?" Ask Leo.

"I think the day after tomorrow we can leave" replied Elica and in reply Leo with a small laugh.

"Call down, Elica, I promise I'll get you out of here."

"Yes"

"Then I will prepare to leave first. Maybe tonight I'll be home late, 'cause I gotta get to my club first. My men say there's a little problem there"

"alright. Be careful on the road"

Leo answered with a nod of his head, while ruffling Elica's hair that made her anxious.

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

Elsewhere, Alex looks pretty fucked up.  Although the sun was already very hot, but the man still did not get up from his bed. That was because last night he drank a lot of alcohol which resulted in him being heavily drunk.

Actually Alex is not one of the people who are not strong to drink, it's just that the problems he is experiencing at this time make him vent all on liquor.

If only last night he hadn't gone to the Club escorted by his bodyguards, he might have fallen asleep on the streets. Just remembering to open her eyes was hard.

With very forced Alex also woke up from his sleep, although his head was very sick due to the rest of the alcohol last night but he had to go to work. Because he remembered later that afternoon there was a meeting with his business colleagues from Turkey.

Alex walked towards the bathroom in shaky steps while holding his head. He decided to take a shower to make himself fresh.

After a few minutes of cleaning up, Alex immediately rushed to his office that afternoon. He chose to leave using a driver who was driven directly by his bodyguard.

"Find the restaurant, I want to eat before the office" Alex told his bodyguard.

"Good sir"

"Do your job tonight. I don't want any mistakes later. If not, I'll kick you right away" Alex told the man who was driving in a cold tone.

"Okay sir, I will try not to fail"

"Good"

The car arrived at a fine restaurant. This place is usually used Alex also to entertain his colleagues at lunch or dinner. Recalling that this morning he had not eaten anything, he finally decided to go to the place.

The restaurant actually has to make a reservation before ordering. Right, that place is the restaurant that Leo used to take Elica there. Unbeknownst to Alex, Elica sees the man. But because Alex is a VVIP guest, so he is free to come at any time without having to book a place first.

Alex ordered a meat steak and a bottle of expensive Champagne at the restaurant. Just for lunch to spend hundreds of dollars is not a big thing for Alex.

He ate the dish calmly. Suddenly a woman came to him.

"Alex" greeted the woman and Alex stared at the woman with a stunned look.

"Evelyn" murmured Alex barely audible her voice. He stopped eating it as well.

The woman he had forgotten, even though Alex used to love the woman before him so much now. And all of a sudden he just came over, showing a smile that reminded Alex of the past.

"How are you? Can I sit here?" Ask Evelyn.

"Yes" Alex replied briefly

"I didn't think we'd meet here. Are you alone or waiting for someone?" ask the woman.

"As you can see, only alone. And you, when did you get back here?"

"Hm... I came back two weeks ago. After my divorce, I decided to go back" Evelyn replied. Even Alex just found out if the woman has divorced.

"You're divorced?" Ask Alex

"Yes. You look different Alex"

"I'm still the same as I used to be, I guess"

"I heard you're married?"

"I'm getting a divorce, too" Alex replied

"Oh sorry, I don't know. As I recall, your marriage hasn't been a month?"

"Not suitable. If you want to know the reason"

"A person's heart changes quickly, doesn't it Alex?"

"so"

"Maybe your word used to be true, if he wasn't a good man. You know, I'm sorry I chose the wrong decision" Evelyn said, looking into Alex's eyes.

"But that's your decision" Alex replied then she continued eating her dish.

"You're right. If only time could be turned around, maybe I'd choose a nice guy like you"

"Don't look at the book from Evelyn's cover. I think you should be even more thorough when dealing with a man. Because men, have different expressions when meeting different women" said Alex

"You mean?"

"Forget over. I'm done eating, and I'm leaving. You still want to be here?"

"alright. But... Can I have your contact?" Pinta Evely.

Alex also looks to raise his eyebrows. He used to remember very well, if Evelyn was the one who deleted his contact. But now he himself is asking for it back. Alex also replied with a smile of his grin, indicating he was entertained by the behavior of the woman in front of him at this time.

"certain. This is my business card, you can call me by that number" Alex said.

"Thank you, see you again Alex" Alex stood up and replied with a short nod. He also left the restaurant.

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

It was evening, and Leo was seen entering his club. The conditions there are quite crowded, considering tomorrow is the weekend and many people want to release their fatigue in the place.

Leo approached a man who was none other than his friend who became his trust governing the state of the Club.

"What's up, Vin?" Leo asked the man with brown hair in front of him.

"We're just talking in your room, Leo"

"All right, come on"

They both walked into Leo's room at the club. The place where Leo took Elica there too.

"What's going on?" Ask Leo as they sit facing each other.

"Look, from yesterday there were a few people watching this place. I know they're not visitors, but they look like messengers. Do you have any enemies at the moment?"

"Nothing"

"Good then. I'm just asking that you be more careful this time. Because I don't know who they're after"

"You take it easy, Vincent. I'll be fine. And I'm putting this place with you first, because next week I'm taking Elica to Germany"

"No need to worry, I'll take care of this place while you're gone"

"Thank you Vin"

"Yes together"

After his meeting with Vincent, Leo immediately decided to go home. When he saw the watch in his hand already showed at 12 pm, maybe even Elica had fallen asleep.

Leo hurriedly drove his car on the streets that already looked deserted. Indeed, the house that is now occupied by Elica and her mother must pass through trees that are quite scary. But not with Leo, because that's where he lived when he was little, so Leo is used to it.

To break the silence in his car, Leo turned on the radio so that the atmosphere was not too quiet. He refocused himself on the streets, and unexpectedly there was a car light that suddenly came from the opposite direction. And the closer the car is getting faster, Leo quickly slammed the steering wheel of his car to the right. Because the speed of Leo's car is also high resulting in Leo also have to brake suddenly, but unfortunately his car brakes do not function at all even though it has been stepped firmly.

Leo who can't control his car can finally just try to remove his seatbelt, because see if his car will mired towards the ravine. But he was late when the car had already gone into the abyss and crashed to the bottom very hard. Leo did not have time to save himself, he was immediately unconscious with the condition of his body covered in blood.

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

Alex was soaking in a hot tub in his bathroom, next to which was a glass of wine accompanying his martyrdom night.

Suddenly the phone rang beside the wine glass. Alex raised the call.

("The task is done sir") said someone in the call.

"Good" Alex replied briefly then immediately disconnected the call.

Alex noticed her happy smile tonight. True, the accident that Leo experienced was his work. Didn't Alex already warn the man, so as not to deal with him. But Alex's speech on that day was only considered a joke by Leo. Until Alex did this terrible thing, considering that Leo had dared to hide Elica from her.

While at home, Elica is still waiting for Leo's return. He didn't know if Leo meant to come home late this late. Moreover, the clock has shown at 1 am.

Suddenly a butler of the house came over to Elica who was sitting in the living room.

"Excuse me miss, there is something I want to say" said the butler.

"What's wrong?"

"I got word, if Mr. Leo had an accident earlier"

"What!" Said Elica a little scream.

"Yes, miss, and now Mr. Leo has been taken to the hospital"

"Then what's the condition?"

"About that, I don't know, miss. I got a call from a friend of Mr. Vincent's"

"That's it, let's go to the hospital now" said Elica impatiently.

"Elica what's wrong?" Hilda asked who came to her daughter. She was indeed in the room, but hearing Elica's voice in the living room finally approached her.

"Mom, Leo had an accident he's been taken to the hospital now"

Said Elica

"God. We're going to the hospital now"

"Yes Mom".

The two rushed to the hospital with Leo's personal driver. Elica's face looked very anxious, she was afraid of anything happening with Leo.

The car they were driving arrived at the hospital. Quickly Elica and her mother immediately search for Leo's whereabouts. And the nurse there said that Leo is still in the care of the Doctor, because Leo's condition is very critical. It also makes Elica more limp.

Soon Hilda sat her daughter in a chair so as not to fall. They were both worried and didn't know what to do. Moreover, Elica also did not know about Leo's family. So he couldn't contact anyone in Leo's family to be informed of his current circumstances.

Hilda hugged the princess and tried to calm her down. Although he was also overwhelmed with panic at this moment.

"Mom what if something bad happens to Leo?"

"Swimming Elica. Leo will definitely recover, he can definitely get through his critical period. Let's just pray he's okay"

Said Hilda while patting her daughter's shoulder.

TBC.

Don't know how it goes. Acu is confused.
