Replacement Bride
Kau?

''Lex..?!'' call Zoya so tight from the cooking room.

The lives of Zoya and Alex they live quite well, Zoya who always comes home on time after taking lessons at her campus and Alex who will indeed go home there after finishing her job.

Little by little Zoya has begun to master a variety of cuisines because thanks to Alex who is so painstakingly taught Zoya who really wants to be able to cook.

''Yes sweet'' said Alex from outside the house because he had just taken a milk order that Zoya herself ordered directly on her sale.

''Come here,'' Zoya and Alex pinta can already guess that Zoya called her just to taste her cooking and correct the processed results before she actually moved the dishes to the container from the pan.

''He's getting adorable, '' Alex muttered with a small laugh and ran over to his wife.

The term contract marriage has no one to bring up, from Alex and Zoya themselves, they undergo it normally.

''Emmm, there's less, '' said Alex after tasting a little coconut milk made by Zoya.

The look on Zoya's face is changing because of what she thinks is right but according to Alex it turns out there are still flaws. ''Less what? haaahh, when can I cook without any correction, Zoya lamented muttered.

''This less, ''' Alex pointed at his right cheek, with the lips he was craving giving Zoya the code to give him a friendly kiss.

''Basic pervert, maniac!'' zoya's nagging tirade because of Alex who often teases her.

Yes now Alex dropped a hobby that he really likes by teasing Zoya because he thinks seeing Zoya's pouting face even more so Zoya's small and filled lips make him addicted to eating it.

Zoya's hand, which was still beating her chest, she immediately held it with her two big hands, staring at each other in the net.

''Do you know?'' Zoya also nodded.

''I'm very happy, '' Alex said.

''Why ''Why?''

''Zoya smiled shyly, but somehow suddenly her heart seemed like something was jolting her a little. The look in Alex, Alex's gentle smile, was it really hers? inner Zoya.

''Can I ask for something?'' Alex who now nodded heard Zoya say.

''Laughter, if we are no longer in line, I hope you soon forget all our memories - Alex shook his head quickly but Zoya continued , ''but if that's not the case I expect no quarrels or misunderstandings between us. And I promise and demand a promise to you to solve the problems of each other's lives if nothing is finished yet, and one of us must be ready to accept that, how?''

Alex is speechless, digesting what Zoya actually said, and what does 'no longer align' mean is there a specific meaning to the word? but seeing Zoya's face waiting for his answer, Alex agrees with many questions in his mind.

''I hope there are no more fortresses for us, '' Alex said in his heart.

The warm afternoon atmosphere makes the two get carried away, Alex hugs Zoya so warmly and Zoya replies.

.

After finishing with dinner, Alex is already planning to give something to Zoya and immediately pick it up in her room.

''You wait, I'll be right back,''

wait for a while and Alex sits back in his place, takes something out of his hand and gives it straight to Zoya.

A dark blue rectangular box was currently in front of Zoya, the girl who was about to turn 20 years old just looked at her with many questions in her heart.

''How about it, Emmm sorry, I'm not very good at saying words in romantic matters, but this I give you,'' Zoya sighed she could not blame Alex for the way Alex gave her gifts unlike most men but she was quite touched by it.

A sparkling star-shaped diamond necklace Alex gave Zoya, Zoya's clasped hands grabbed the necklace from a dark blue jewelry box. Is this really for me, am I suitable to use it? overthinking Zoya appears again, feeling herself small and inappropriate with what is currently nearby.

''Aahh yes let me help you wear it, '' said Alex who was about to get up from his chair but Zoya immediately prevented it.

''It's okay, I'll wear it later.''

The romantic dinner was over until Zoya went into the room first, and Alex went to her study because there was still work unfinished.

.

Today there is a student exchange so that the campus is also crowded with various events, such as, Zoya who was appointed as the committee had to leave home as early as possible and Alex also happened to have a business trip with Mark.

''I will contact you after arriving, don't get too tired, hmm?'' said Alex who is currently taking Zoya to his campus.

''I wait in the dorm, you be careful huh.'' Reply Zoya and they split up at the campus gate.

Before saying goodbye Alex gives a black card to Zoya and kisses her forehead quickly and goes back into the car leaving Zoya glued to her place.

The cheer of some girls who happened to pass by there made Zoya aware from her shock, some were carried away by the scene she had just seen there were also those who did not like to watch it.

''Zoya, do you really have a lover?!'' ask salasatu girl who seems to be one university with her. Zoya who heard was embarrassed to answer him because indeed the news he was married to a wealthy man has not been widespread and only some people know it.

At Violet Brand's company, Alex, who has just arrived, immediately goes up to her room, and delivers a message to her female secretary to call Mark if he comes.

Setting up some files for him to take out of town, his eyes kept racing on the computer monitor screen, the sound of knocking on the door was heard and Alex let in.

But for a moment his fingers stopped who had originally typed agilely and his eyes stared flat at the person who came.

''You?'' alex said in the coldest voice possible.

''How are you?'' asked the man but Alex did not answer, he just stared with unblinking eyes.
