Playing With Fire
Part 43's

Cheating is one way of the game, the most important thing is to win.

This game is exhausting. Not only myself but my heart felt the same way. My feeling for you is like a rope, which you pull sometimes and sometimes you stretch back.

If my presence is just to see the charade, you should also be able to make a show to not know my whereabouts.

"what?"

Elica shook her head firmly, of course she strongly rejected that.

"No. He's my son Alex, you can't take him."

Alex is seen standing from his seat. The man approached Elica who now looked messy and again a tear on her cheek that still did not eliminate perfect. It shows that the woman is panicking.

"I'll give you a choice. Leave the boy with me, or I won't give your father any help"

I don't know why Elica's tears suddenly came out. Hearing Alex's words just made her heart ache. It seemed that he had wrongly asked the man before him for help now.

"You've always been like this. Taking advantage of other people's difficulties" Elica said.

"I learned from you Elica. Didn't you start it"

Elica only laughed cynically when Alex offended her. Elica admitted that she used to do it. And if you recall it was about him making coffee for Alex for a car.

But isn't it different now. Because his father's life is in danger. Should Alex ask for something silly like that, and of course Elica will reject it hard.

"Forget if I ask you for help. I will ask for help from others only" said Elica wipe her tears quickly and turned around to leave the place.

"At whom? Aunt Irene? Nights like this you're gonna wake her up from sleep, then ask for a big sum of money? And reject me who is clearly willing to do it. Do you think you've gotten that close to Aunt Irene and borrowed money"

alex said that managed to stop Elica's steps.

"At least I'll try." Answer Elica.

"Trouble like this you're relying on someone else. Moreover, you have to take care of the child. You think raising a child doesn't cost a lot? You won't be able to buy her anything she wants. But. If he lives with me, he'll get whatever he wants. Toys, luxury, and of course a bright future. Not like you ended up working as an office girl." Alex said at length.

"I can do it. I can Alex. I can raise her" cried Elica who was already very hurt by the words Alex who was very humble.

"In what way?" Shouted Alex who had also been carried away by emotions.

"I will grow up with love and affection. Even though she lives with flaws, I will do anything for her" cried Elica already unstoppable.

He saw a flash of anger emanating from Alex's eyes that were staring at him sharply. Elica was sometimes confused by this man, sometimes he was gentle and sometimes he was very stubborn.

"I won't let my son be like you, Elica. Not going" sizzled Alex at Elica who was now crying in front of her.

"For me you're the bad guy I've met" Elica said with a whim. The woman was also banging her own chest which felt claustrophobic with all the humiliation she had just received.

Like his destiny was so happy to see his suffering. Many times she was hurt by the same man but there was never a single chance for her to leave. And Elica couldn't dodge what Alex just said was the truth. Even to defend herself alone Elica has no reproach.

And Elica realized, maybe she was born with bad luck.

Alex quickly turned towards his desk and took his cell phone.

Alex approached Elica quickly.

"Write whatever you want" Alex said, handing the phone to Elica to transfer Albert's operating expenses. But Elica just kept quiet and did not respond to anything.

"Don't think too long. You know I'm not a patient person. Think about your father's life first, let's talk about it later"

In the end Alex could not bear to see Elica who could not do anything in front of her. Alex realized that his words had gone too far and hurt the woman. But if Elica can understand, Alex's intention is not to leave when the baby is born.

In reality Alex is a man of very high prestige. Until he can't say it clearly.

Unexpectedly, Elica also took Alex's phone and filled the amount of funds to be helped by Alex.

When she finished, Elica returned the phone to Alex. He closed his eyes for a moment, hoping that what he was doing right now was not wrong.

"I'll take this as a debt, you take it easy I'm sure I'll pay for it. But don't expect you to be able to take my son" Elica told Alex then decided to leave the room.

Alex looked at the phone in his hand. Seen notification if he managed to send money on Elica's account worth 20 billion. Although for Alex the money is priceless anything in her eyes. Yet only in a devious manner like this could she keep Elica at her side.

"I hope you won't be able to pay for Elica" Alex said slowly.

Irene looked fresh in the morning. The woman went down the stairs and walked towards the kitchen. There was already aunt Christin who was preparing breakfast, but strangely there was no Elica. As far as Irene knew, Elica always woke up early and was already in the kitchen.

"Elica's not awake yet?" Irene asked Aunt Christin

"It doesn't seem like a mistress yet."

Without thinking, Irene decided to go to Elica's room.

After arriving he knocked on the door of the room and shortly displayed a different-looking Elica.

"You sick?" Irene asked again and was only pulled back by Elica. Irene who seemed anxious with Elica's condition was surprised, when suddenly Elica hugged her.

And there was a small cry from Elica heard by Irene.

"Aunty..."

"Yes Elica. You're why, honey, you can tell Aunt anything. Tell me what's up?" Irene calmed Elica.

"My dad last night he went into the hospital"

"What" Irene quickly releases her hug with Elica and asks for an explanation from Elica.

"What happened to Elica?"

"I don't know Auntie. But last night my neighbor called me if you're unconscious. And she had to have surgery today" Elica explained

"Then what's the situation now? Did you know it"

"Yet. But in an hour, Dad's gonna have surgery, and I can't keep him company. I want to go there, aunt"

Said Elica in tears.

"Can't be Elica. Your content is already large, you must not be allowed to undergo air travel. Very dangerous"

"But I have to how's Auntie?"

"Take it easy on yourself, Elica. Listen, Auntie's gonna get the aunt to keep an eye on your father's condition. But you have to promise me you can't be depressed or think about anything. Remember your content, dear"

Finally, Elica felt a little calm over what Irene said

Irene told Elica to clean up and prepare breakfast together in the dining room.

On the other hand, Alex looks very hasty. He came out of the room and was surprised to find Bianca already in front of his door.

"For Alex" Bianca said with a glowing face to Alex.

"What are you doing here?"

Ask Alex ketus.

"So my dad called if today he's gonna see you. Is that true?"

"It has nothing to do with you"

Getting cold treatment from Alex apparently doesn't make Bianca pessimistic. The fact is that the woman actually even displays her charming smile on Alex.

"I actually miss my dad, too. I want to see her too. Can I come with you, Alex?"

It turns out that Alex is starting to get caught off guard by Bianca's presence which interferes with her morning. Even his encounter with Andrew, Bianca's father, had nothing to do with this woman at all.

"Bianca, I'd like to discuss business with your father. Nothing to do with yourself"

"But I exist. Anyway I have to tell my dad about what happened yesterday"

Alex looks a rough snort, if it wasn't for some important thing he had to get, maybe he'd have gotten rid of Bianca from the start. Because this woman was a real hassle to Alex.

"Well you can come. I just hope your father will be angry with me and tell you to leave this place immediately"

Instantly Bianca's smile disappeared from her face. Hearing what Alex said there is a point, but honestly Bianca still does not want to leave this house let alone leave Alex and Elica.

"OK, I'm not coming. But you have to promise to take responsibility for me Alex" Bianca reminded Alex.

"You just calm down. I'll take responsibility and explain it to your father in a man's way" Alex replied and made Bianca feel happy.

"Thank you Alex you're a brave man. I love you" said Bianca and suddenly pulled Alex and kissed the man's neck long enough. And honestly Alex was also surprised by Bianca's aggressive attitude which was very sudden.

Without them realizing Elica saw the two from below. The position of Alex and Bianca makes anyone who sees it will misunderstand. And Alex is aware of Elica who is looking at her with her sad gaze. But quickly Elica changed her usual facial expression, as if nothing she had ever seen.

Alex quickly let go of Bianca, making the woman flinch a little displeased.

"So your limits are Bianca"

TBC.
