Rihhane Of Story's
Terms

Rihan just arrived at the mansion. Passing through the living room, his parents were there. Greeting them for a while, Rihan then intends to go into the room.

"Darling..." Call Mommy Rosse while frowning.

"What's up, Mom?" Rihan asked after turning to look at the mother.

"What's wrong with your lips? Why wounded? You okay, honey?" Mommy Rosse asked worriedly after accidentally seeing the wound on Rihan's lips.

Rihan's heart was racing considering back to the accidental accident just a moment ago.

"It's okay, Mom. Just accidentally hit something earlier. I went into the room, yeah."

"That kid, is he okay?" Ask Mommy Rosse to Daddy Jhack after Rihan passed away.

"She's no ordinary girl, honey. He's our strong prince. He'll be fine. She's not like most girls out there. Relax!" Daddy Jhack calms the wife down.

Returning to Zant, the man after laughing stifled to the point of almost dying, he immediately stood up and intended to catch up with his little girl. Zant no longer intends to go to the hospital.

Zant only asked his subordinates to look after Hanami, also sending a message to Mr. Naboru that he had urgent business.

Arriving in front of the restaurant, Zant is greeted by Vian who is waiting for him in front of his parked car.

"Young lady's gone home first, sir."

"I knew. Back to the mansion!"

"Good, Sir."

Vian drives Zant's car to Jhack Lesfingtone's mansion.

Along the way, Zant did not stop touching his lips and smiled faintly. Even though it was just an accident, the man was very happy.

"I want to feel those lips again." Zant murmured inwardly and smiled faintly as he stared out the car window.

"There's something I need to tell you, sir." Vian opened his voice after the car reached the toll road.

"Hm. We'll talk about it after we get there,"

"Good, Sir."

...

"Good night Mom, Dad." Sapa Zant who saw her two future in-laws in the living room.

"Well, your lips..." Mommy Rosse's comments saw the same wound as Rihan on the lips of her future son-in-law.

"What's that bump too, Zant?" Daddy Jhack replied and smiled seductively.

The forties man thought something had happened to his son and daughter-in-law when he saw the same wound as Rihan.

"Young people today are really violent," Monologue Daddy Jhack inwardly and still smilingly looked at Zant.

"uh? Yes, Dad. Rihan's home yet?" Asked Zant while rubbing his non-itchy nape. Of course he's nervous.

"Yes. It's resting maybe,"

"I'm up on Mom, Dad."

"Damor..." Call Mommy Rosse still wants to hear the reason for her future daughter-in-law.

"What's up, Mom?"

"Nothing, Zant. Get on top!" Daddy Jhack prevents the wife from questioning.

"Good, Dad."

"When mommy is still wondering what happened to our future daughter-in-law. Why did daddy prevent mommy?"

"Mommy's mommy doesn't know? Seeing the same wound on the two of them, mommy should have known. Youth is fun, yes."

"Our son is an adult, Dad. Clashes are a good reason, Dad."

"Hahaha. eventually mommy understood as well. Let's rest! Daddy also wants to exercise until morning. Daddy hope, mommy's still strong."

"Gosh, Dad. Tomorrow doesn't daddy have to go to the office?"

"It's okay, Mom. No one gets angry too late."

"As you may guess, all properties owned by Cognizant Technology in Japan have been acquired by them. What will you do next, sir? Is it according to plan or do you have other plans?" Vian explained as well as asking, after they arrived at the guest room that Zant usually used to work with Vian.

If Zant was alone, he would usually use Rihan's workspace. But he did not want anyone else to go into his room and his future wife.

"As planned. Maybe tomorrow they'll start moving."

"Good, Sir."

"Rest here! It's getting late. I'll go back to the room."

"Good, Sir. Good night."

"Hm."

Zant arrives at his room with Rihan. His smile expands to see his future wife is already asleep.

"My Queen," Call Zant after sitting on the left edge of the bed while looking at Rihan who was asleep with his smooth snoring.

"It looks like he's tired from climbing a tree" murmured Zant and chuckled.

"He didn't even treat his lips,"

Zant then headed to the nightstand and picked up the P3K box inside the drawer then returned to the bed and treated Rihan's injured lip with ointment.

The man did so very carefully so that his future wife would not wake up. Every now and then he would blow those tantalizing rambunctious lips when the owner grimaced a little in his sleep.

"Good night, My Queen." Zant murmured and peeked at Rihan's forehead, then got out of bed and returned the P3K box to its original place, after which it went into the bathroom to clean itself.

Finished cleaning himself and changing his clothes in sleeping pajamas, Zant climbed into the bed and carried Rihan into his arms, then pulled out a blanket to cover half their bodies.

***

In the morning, Zant was the first to wake up. Not wanting to wake up his beloved, the man simply propped his head up with his right hand while staring at the beautiful face of Rihan who was asleep.

"We need to get married soon. I can no longer hold back! She was too seductive of faith," Inner Zant while gently rubbing Rihan's smooth cheeks.

"Did I disturb your sleep?" Zant asked softly as Rihan opened his eyes as he was interrupted with a gentle swab on his cheek.

"Good morning, My King."

"By the morning, My Queen, let's get up!"

"Hm."

Rihan is trying to cover up his embarrassment because of last night's incident. The girl just didn't want her day to go awry because she was going to do something today.

"I'm going to the office again today. The pests seem to be moving. Wanna come? There's gonna be a good show, you know." Zant said after waking up and sitting on the edge of the bed with his legs dangling down while looking at Rihan who was pouring a glass of water and drinking it.

"Did I miss something?" Zant asked after gulping down the water in the glass and giving the empty glass to Rihan.

"Maybe."

"It looks like there's going to be a show. Can I come with you?"

"May be."

"When?"

"Sir Zant will know later."

"All right."

At 10 a.m., Hanami visits Cognizant Technology. Reasoning that he was a representative of the papa-owned Japanese company, Hanami was later allowed in and even escorted to the CEO's room.

Zant is currently in a meeting with shareholders to discuss tackling the issue of the company losing half its shares. All shareholders fear Cognizant Technology will go bankrupt in just a few days.

Zant remained calm in his place and just stared flat at the middle-aged men and women who were shareholders of his company.

"My advice is that you should accept Mr. Naboru's terms so that his company can help us." A shareholder expressed his opinion after Vian gave them a chance to talk.

"We'd better sell some property owned by Cognizant Technology to help the company." The middle-aged woman who is a shareholder also commented.

"All of our properties in Japan have been acquired. If we sell property in another country, I don't think that's the way out. I also don't know what conditions Mr. Naboru has, but if you don't think that's the only way out, then don't accept it." Other shareholders have responded.

"Just accept Mr. Naboru's terms. Whatever the conditions, don't you think as CEO, you have to sacrifice for the company?" The shareholder who speaks first retains his argument.

"You can't just force our CEO, Mr. Dai. What if the terms are not favorable?" The middle-aged woman shareholder who spoke second, as well as the only middle-aged woman who became a shareholder there. Her name is Lady Laura.

"May I know what conditions Mr Naboru has put forward?" Ask the fourth shareholder. His name is Mr. Sandro.

"Our CEO only needs to marry Mr. Naboru's daughter, so he promised to help our company, as well as help restore our property that has been acquired in Japan." Mr. Dai replied with enthusiasm.

"Mr Dai, you should know, if our CEO is engaged. Soon they will get married. How could you force her to accept those terms?" Madam Laura spoke angrily.

The middle-aged woman had once been in a position where she married on condition. She divorced her husband after 2 years of marriage. Fortunately her ex-fiance still loves her so take her back. Madam Laura did not want others to feel the same way as her.

"I agree with Mrs Laura. It's all the CEO's decision. I as a shareholder will accept it" Mr. Sandro spoke politely.

"He disappeared all this time, and suddenly came back. He should have sacrificed for the company. Mr. Naboru's son is beautiful after all. If I were young, I would gladly accept it." Inner Lord Dai and stared intently at Zant.

"Before giving an opinion, I want to ask you one question. This question is addressed to the esteemed Lord Dai." Zant's voice sounded so cold and then stared intently at Mr. Dai.

"I just met Mr. Naboru last night. We're just talking about family matters not corporate matters. I was surprised, it turns out that Mr. Naboru wants to help our company by submitting conditions. Why did I just hear it? How do you know Mr. Naboru will help us but on condition?" Zant asked flatly at the end of his sentence.

"That's... Mr. Naboru who told me this morning." Elak Mr. Dai is nervous.

"Oh, yeah. Alright. Our meeting is postponed first. You'll hear my opinion a few hours later, because the condition that Mr. Dai said seems to have come." Zant said after Vian whispered something to him.

Without saying anything, Zant immediately walked out of the meeting room leaving the commotion of the shareholders inside there.

"Hi, Brother Lyan." Welcome Hanami when she sees Zant just entering her study.

"What's coming here? Don't your legs hurt?" Zant asked after sitting on the sofa opposite Hanami.

"The medicine the doctor gave me was so powerful that when I woke up, my legs were healed." Hanami replied and smiled sweetly.

Zant simply nodded, Although he knew that Hanami's leg had not sprained at all.

"Then, your arrival?" Zant asked while holding his chest.

"Papa entrusted me with ushering in a cooperative proposal from our company with Cognizant Technology."

"Let me see the proposal."

"This, Brother."

Zant read the proposal. Every now and then he would nod making Hanami very happy. The girl's gaze was so deep on this handsome man in front of her.

"I don't think you're coming just because of this proposal." Zant stared flatly at Hanami after putting the proposal on the table.

"Sister Lyan is very intelligent. My arrival was not just that. I hear Cognizant Technology is in trouble. I forced papa to cooperate with sister's company. But on condition..." Hanami now stood up and approached Zant then gently stroked Zant's jaw from the side.

Zant just let it go. Despite the emotion, the man tried to calm down because he wanted to see how far this seductive woman acted.

"Marry me, and your company is safe. How's it?" Whisper Hanami sensually in Zant's ears, hoping the man is tempted.

Zant clenched his hands trying not to hit this seductress beside him. Hanami herself, looking at Zant's fist thought the man was considering his remarks for the sake of the company. A happy smile was etched on her red lips.

The knock on the door distracts Zant and Hanami.

"CEO Chi Corporation would like to meet you, sir." Reported Vian after entering and gazed at Hanami's disdain.

"Let him in!"

"Good, Sir."

In just a few minutes, Neo is ushered in by Vian. The man stared intently at Zant and Hanami. His hands clenched when he saw Hanami's hand which was on Zant's shoulder. Neo is upset that he thinks Zant is playing Rihan.

"Please sit down, Mr. Neo. Back to your seat, too, Hanami." Said Zant flat.

Currently the atmosphere of Zant's workroom was extremely tense, due to the hostile gazes between Zant and Neo. Hanami herself started to get scared and did not understand what was going on with these two men.

"What are you coming here for, Mr Neo?" Zant opened his voice after seeing his watch.

Zant didn't want to waste time since it was almost eleven o'clock in the afternoon. Not long for lunch. That means the Queen will come to bring lunch. He did not want any disturbance between the two.

"I came with the same purpose as him. Chi Corporation will assist Cognizant Technology. On condition, leave Rihan!"

"There are people who do not like the relationship of Lyan with his future wife. This is a good opportunity for me." Inner Hanami and secretly smiled cunningly.
