Shackles Love Contracts CEO Secretary
First Meeting

Although not in a matter of days, but six months does not include a long time. All the wedding plans have been prepared carefully. From invitation cards to dishes to be served at the reception. Everything is ready, Aji is ready. Similarly, the ring box in his grasp that had been completed today. However, the elegant box fell hard on the floor of the hotel room.

At first he doesn't believe it, maybe it's just a hallucination or a dream. But, this scene in front of him was too clear to be called a dream. A single tear soaked his cheek.

“A-Aji..” Bella, the woman who is trying to cover her innocent body with a blanket. Beautiful women with beautiful bodies decorated with signs of kissing like cherry blossoms that fall.

The woman who will officially become Aji's wife in six months. Fallen already love in Aji's heart into fragments drifting in hatred. “We're done! Don't ever look for me again!” 

“Aji, wait!!” Bella tries to catch up to Aji without caring for her loving partner who keeps shouting to call her name. However, when her hand almost touched Aji, Aji violently rebuked her. 

“Do not touch!” Aji firmly. He stared intently at Bella as if he would kill this woman until he dared to touch her again. “Basic slut!” 

After that, regardless of Bella, Aji leaves. Arriving at the car park, his hand that grasped the car door immediately weakened. His entire body was limp until he knelt down and with all his might held back the screams of his anger. As a result, the flames of anger drifted along with deep heartache and flowed through bated cries.

The man said he should not cry. The man must be strong and crying means weak. However, three years of loving Bella to the point of betrayal drained Aji's heart and strength to continue strong.

What is less? What's wrong? Since when

All these questions are answered by silence. 

“Goodbye, Bella.”

###

Second by second, minute by minute, until day by day and month was changed, Aji tried to focus on various things. His work in the office became an escape every day. Eating with friends after coming home from work and playing golf on the weekend, all that he did so that there is no time to remember Bella, Bella, even though night always takes him across beautiful memories with his ex.

Lying when he said he forgot. Three years of loving the same woman and already preparing to ask for her. Bella has taken so many places in her life. At home, in the office and wherever Aji is, the memories remain until his feelings of love for Bella can suddenly attack him like an ambush by the enemy. However, his memory was also still strong on the despicable incident he had seen at the hotel back then. Aji is no longer so kind! 

Another with a thick-faced Bella, despite knowing her mistake, she still sulks and meets Aji to keep their marriage going. As of today, Aji was again ambushed by that shameless woman in Aji's office.

“Aji, I beg you. Can't we fix this? No one is perfect and they are prone to mistakes. Plis, give me one more chance,” urged Bella with reddened eyes holding back tears. 

Hearing the former's explanation, Aji laughed mockingly. “Rentan error? But, that does not mean you can not think until you can not avoid the error, ‘kan?”

Bella remained silent. He was confused as to what to answer. It had never been thought by her that Aji would be this cold and wily to respond. “Is not a first mistake entitled to a second chance?” he said as if he kept begging.

“Tsk! Stop with your bullshit. What you did wasn't a mistake, Bella. All you have done is choose to cheat!” 

Aji walked back to the office lobby. But Bella did not give up. He continues to follow Aji and plead even though Aji is not ignored. Until finally, Bella loudly catches Aji's wrist and holds him back.

“Lease!” Aji's gaze instantly turned sharp. Honey, men can't hit. Otherwise, Aji would have kicked this parasite out. 

“Ji, I beg you. Yesterday Papa knew me as his friend's son. Papa wants my marriage to keep going because he's embarrassed that I'm breaking up the marriage let alone all the relationships and employees have heard that I'm getting married in 3 months. Moreover, invitations that have not been spread, so that your name can still be changed. But I don't want to marry her, Ji. I just love you! So Papa wants me to marry his daughter because you have canceled everything,” said Bella regretted her actions.

“Then, what's the deal with me?” aji asked with a flat expression and a heartless voice. 

Bella is surprised to see no reaction from Aji when she hears Bella will be married by another man. Is there no feeling of love for her? Three years they are in a relationship, but how easy is it Aji to forget about it?

“If you do not want to marry your papa friend's child.” 

Bella was immediately excited again as she listened to the sentence. He thought Aji would be devastated, but the next second, reality slapped Bella.

“Just marry your dear friend that yesterday,” Aji continues his words.

“I don't care who he is who you've slept with! The point is, don't bother me anymore. We're done. Please have a little embarrassment!” Aji immediately threw Bella's hand.

An upset Bella turns to attack Aji. “Don't just blame me! How are you alone? We forget our love so quickly. Three years, Aji! If you can easily let go of me, then surely you are also having an affair, yes ‘kan?!”

Bella's voice rose to attract the attention of the people in the office lobby. So is Syadira, one of the receptionist staff in Aji's office, who is passing through the two while carrying a package. Bella's voice shocked her to the point of pecking in place.

Aji's forehead wrinkled and her expression cooled down even more. “It is up to you to say what. Now go!”

Bella is again surprised by Aji's indifference. He thinks his accusations could have caused Aji to panic for fear that his good name might be tainted. That was also the reason why he raised his voice. However, in reality, Aji really did not care. 

“Aji, you–” 

“Please excuse me, Mbak.” Bella's sentence was cut off by Syadira. “Whatever the problem, I hope you can solve it personally and not make a noise in this office. Your voice has ruined our conducive atmosphere so apologize, but I have to ask you to leave this place.” 

Bella who is still passionate can not stem her anger when reprimanded by Syadira. He feels humiliated so he retaliates by pushing Bella's body. The package in Syadira's grasp immediately fell along with him.

“Bella!” Aji who was shocked shouted and gradually helped Syadira, as well as other employees who passed by. This commotion also attracted the attention of security guards in the lobby who directly approached Bella.

“True ‘kannya you cheated! He ‘kan ****** that snatched you from me?! He should have interfered! Basic shameless, seizing something that is not yours. You seduced my fiance with your body.”.

Bella had not finished her sentence, Syadira had slapped her. “Jaga your mouth yes Ma'am. You are cheating but accusing people. I am just a regular employee here but I am not that cool!” 

Then, Syadira looked at the security guard and said, “Please take him, Sir.”

Aji looked at Bella who was still trying to fight back when she was dragged out and glanced at Syadira. “I'm sorry for the mess and what my ex did.”

“It's okay, Sir. I understand.” Syadira just smiled a little, nodded her head and left Aji.

However, just one step, Syadira's step was immediately stopped again by Aji. Syadira also looked at his hand held by Aji. Aji spontaneously took it off.

“Sorry, I just want to ask you for help. Oh yeah, what's your name?” ask Aji.

“Syadira, Sir,” replied Syadira firmly but politely.

“Greetings, Syadira. I'm Aji.” Aji smiled. His face looks more handsome to make Syadira cheeks reddened.

“Before, thank you for your help. Then, sorry if I'm a little presumptuous now but I really need help.” Aji continued his conversation.

Aji looked straight at Syadira with an expression full of seriousness. “Will you date me?”

Syadira chokes. “Sorry??” 

“Ah! I mean not shit. It's just that it made me understand that Bella wouldn't give up if you hadn't mediated with us. So, I thought that by dating a contract, Bella would leave me. Contract in the sense that you can put forward some terms as a reciprocal you have already helped me. How?” Aji persuades Syadira to help him.

Syadira nodded in understanding despite feeling this was very strange. Suddenly asked to be a contract lover by a CEO Secretary, who is also the son of the CEO where he works. It feels not like a lover but just like a shield to fight an ex. However, seeing the helpless Aji in front of the thick-faced Bella, Syadira felt pity.

Finally, Syadira hesitantly accepted Aji's request. “Boleh, but let's first discuss the terms yes, sir, so as not to harm me in the future.”

Aji was relieved to hear Syadira's reply and immediately pulled Syadira towards his room. Meanwhile, Syadira stared shyly at her hand which Aji was still holding.
