Playing With Fire
The Part 34

After the fight Alex finally managed to bring Elica back with him. The two were in the car and no one opened their voices.

Elica chooses silence because of anger with Alex who brought her forcibly, while Alex is silent because he does not want to start another quarrel with Elica.

Two people who have equal egos, making Alex and Elica's relationship as endless. Not even one of them was willing to give in to the principles they held.

Alex and Elica's car arrives at a large house. The front looks spacious but the beautiful atmosphere is still attached to the yard of the house. They both got out of the car and walked into the house.

Arriving inside, an elderly woman in her 50s greeted Alex and Elica politely.

"Welcome young master, I didn't expect you to go home to the mansion" the old woman said.

"Yes. In the future I will come here often. And this is Elica, she's gonna stay here for the next few months until she gives birth to my son. And to you, Elica, meet Christin's aunt. She's a waitress who's been here a long time" Alex said, nodding back at Elica.

"Hello Miss Elica is pleased to meet you. If you need anything, you can call me" Aunt Christin said gently. Elica smiled at hearing that.

"no need. Elica's position is the same as yours aunt Christin. No need to help him, because he will also clean this house" said Alex coldly.

Elica's smile disappeared as Alex said that. Which means that Elica will be the servant of this house. But Elica did not mind at all with this, because for her Alex did this deliberately on her.

Aunt Christin was surprised to learn this. But the middle-aged woman did not dare to ask that.

"Call me Elica bi. And Alex is right bi, I just hitchhiked here until giving birth. So I need aunty's help too to help me take care of this house" said Elica softly. Aunt Christin nodded.

And Alex just put on her flat face when she heard Elica say.

"Take him to the guest room" Alex told Christin's aunt.

"Good sir. Let's follow Elica auntie"

"Good bi"

Elica and Aunt Christin leave Alex's living room and head to the guest room.

Without Elica knowing, Alex did not escape to pay attention to his every move. Also looks a thin smile from Alex's lips because it managed to bring Elica with her.

In Aunt Christin's guest room, she invites Elica to rest. Given if Elica was pregnant young, being Christin's aunt was so good to treat Elica.

"I cleaned up yesterday Elica's room. So you can just take a break first."

"Good thanks" replied Elica

Christin's aunt came out of the room leaving Elica alone.

After her Elica could only sigh slowly while sitting on the edge of the bed. His eyes went through every corner of the room.

Because for her to the size of the guest room, this room is very large. Can be imagined if the late Alex's parents were very rich people.

But thinking about it actually gives Elica a second thought to reality, if Alex's treasure that once made her mother prefer to leave her father and herself.

Nightfall..

Elica woke up to the sound of knocking on the door from outside. She got out of bed to open the door, and Aunt Christin was the one who did. With eyes still sleepy Elica tried to collect all her life after falling asleep since the afternoon.

"What's bi?" Asked Elica with her hoarse voice.

"Sorry to disturb your sleep, Elica. But young master Alex is already waiting for you at the dinner table for dinner"

"alright. I'll wash my face first after that I'll go down"

Aunt Christin nodded in understanding what Elica said and then left.

After 10 minutes, Elica approached the dining table where Alex was sitting.

"I'm late for dinner waiting for you" Alex said

"You can eat first, I didn't ask you to wait for me either" replied Elica.

"Sit down we eat together."

"You're willing to eat with me? Aren't I a waiter here, too"

"That's tomorrow. But the exception for today" Alex said by feeding food into his mouth.

"It's so ridiculous"

Both of them began to eat quietly. Just the clinking of plates and spoons. Elica ate her food slowly because she was not really hungry. While Alex was staring at Elica silently, even though Elica knew it but she began to be a little uncomfortable. Because Alex can't just stare at him.

"So there's something you want to say young master Alex. I see you keep staring at me?" Said Elica who was getting upset. But Alex replied with a grin.

"You're too confident Elica. Is staring at someone a crime?" Ask Alex back to Elica.

"No.But you made me uncomfortable" said Elica actually made Alex laugh softly.

"What if I take you to bed, it can make you comfortable?" Temptation Alex

"Your brain is so funny, young master Alex. I want to get her out and wash her. Until your perverted thoughts can be lost"

Alex laughed even harder. Because to her the word Elica was entertainment to her. Moreover, seeing the woman look upset, for Alex her face is getting beautiful. Although now Elica's cheeks are a little chubby due to her pregnancy. Alex liked it.

"Don't be a hypocrite Elica, even you always sigh calling my name when we're making love. You recall?

And don't forget, you're also pregnant with my seed in your womb" Alex said.

"Suckers. Can you shut up"

Alex replied by twitching his shoulders.

Both of them went back to silence. And Elica's face looks reddened as it starts to get upset. For him every time arguing with Alex was the most emotionally draining thing.

"You continue eating, I'll go pick up the phone first" Alex said, but Elica did not answer.

The man actually went to his room upstairs. While Elica ignored the changes seen on Alex's face and chose to continue eating.

The next day Elica looked fresher after her morning shower. She wanted to help Aunt Christin make breakfast. He also walked towards the kitchen. And sure enough, the person Elica was looking for was busy cutting vegetables.

"Good morning aunt" said Elica

"Oh, good morning to Elica too, wait a minute and her breakfast is not ready" replied Aunt Christin

"It's okay. Anyway I'm here to help you cook. Can you?" Ask Elica.

"of course. But your breakfast today will be alone Elica. Because the young master had already left for New York early in the morning"

"Ah so. Be bi, it's better if he's not around. By the way, can I ask you something?" Asked Elica while stirring the soup that was on the stove.

"Certainly Can Elica. What do you want to ask?"

"Have you been working in this house for a long time?"

Then aunt Christin seemed to think considering how many years she had been here.

"It's not wrong since young master was 2 years old, my husband and I work here"

"So aunt's husband is here too?"

"Yes Elica. My husband's name is Johan, but you can call his uncle Jo. He worked as a driver of the late father's young master still alive"

"It turned out a long time ago. Do you remember, Alex used to have tempramental properties?" Elica asked cautiously to Aunt Christin. Because the goal is to find out Alex's past.

Unexpectedly, Christin's aunt smiled gently and her eyes were a little teary. Makes Elica a little confused because of that.

"Ultimately, as a child Alex was a friendly and cheerful child. But when she started elementary school, her father always taught Alex hard. This leads to a fight between her father and mother who want to protect Alex. But as time went on, Alex's late father began bringing different women into the house every day. Until the mistress chose suicide and made Alex very hit. Alex grew up with hatred and a lack of compassion, so even her father died she chose not to come to her last funeral because of that hatred." Without feeling the tears of aunt Christin flowed just like that.

"Then what happened after that?" Elica cried slowly because it began to get carried away.

"All the relics belonging to his parents fell into Alex's hands. Make every woman vying get her attention. But they only target Alex's treasure not love sincerely. Until a few years ago Alex was in contact with a woman. Slowly her attitude began to be gentle but unexpectedly the woman preferred to marry another man. It even makes Alex's nature worse. And the last time I heard that she was married to a woman whose age was far adrift. For God's sake, if there's a woman who can change Alex like she used to be I'd be so supportive of her, I hope Alex can get her happiness back. Because he's already I consider as my own son."

Elica is moved to hear Aunt Christin's narration of Alex's past. From here Elica can conclude if Alex is a man who has many secrets. Behind his very complicated past, it was fitting that the man vent his feelings to Elica's mother. Even Alex does not think about the problems ahead, because basically the man lacks the affection of the mother who has been absent from him small.

Elica looked dreamy thinking about what Christin's aunt had revealed.

"Elica, just sit in the dining room. Let auntie finish her cooking" Christin's aunt told Elica.

"Oh sorry aunt. I'm not focused on helping you."

"What's wrong. It's over soon anyway. You just wait at the dinner table Dad"

"Alright aunt. Thank you and sorry to trouble you" Elica's grin showed off her white teeth. Then he left the kitchen.

Elsewhere, Alex arrived in New York at noon today. It's actually her day off, but Mr. Andrew keeps calling her to have Alex come to Bianca's birthday party, the daughter of Mr. Andrew. And tonight Alex actually came to a party held by Bianca that.

There were many guests who greeted Alex with a friendly, considering Alex was a young businessman who was very reluctant to many people.

Alex finally meets the owner of the party.

"Good night" said Alex to Mr. Andrew, who was talking to the guests.

"Alex, you're coming. Thanks for being here." Mr. Andrew replied with pleasure.

"No problem" Alex replied briefly.

"Come with me. The event will start, soon Bianca will blow out the candles" invited Mr. Andrew.

And sure enough, not long ago the show started. After his guests are invited to dinner at the table that has been provided.

Mr. Andrew invited Alex to dinner with his one table with Bianca as well. The three men were also seen chatting in company with meat and wine steaks.

"Alex, there's actually something I want to talk about" Mr Andrew said

"Please" Alex replied briefly.

"Bianca said she wanted to learn about business here. But the day after, I had to go to Amsterdam. So can I leave Bianca here as long as I'm not around?" Ask Mr. Andrew

"Dad..." Sahut Bianca shy.

"Why am I Mr Andrew? Don't you have a company here?"

"Really Alex. But I'm not ready to intervene alone lead the company of the father" now Bianca also open the voice. But Alex did not immediately answer her only reply with a thin smile.

Alex took the wine glass on the table and sipped it slowly. After that, he put the glass back to its original place.

Actually Alex knew the intent of Mr. Andrew's plan and his son. Because Bianca has always seemed interested in her. And hearing that Alex was happy, because soon he will get his new toy.

"How's Alex? Can Bianca come with you? Here he has no one. You know for yourself that he lived in Amsterdam for a long time. I only trust you to leave Bianca, Alex" Mr. Andrew assured Alex.

"alright. He can come with me." Answer Alex

Mr. Andrew and Bianca smiled happily.

"Thank you Alex" said Bianca and a nod of the head by Alex, then she continued drinking the wine again with a grin.
