THE ALEXIS
SURPRISE AND REQUEST

“Hi, dear. How long are you gonna be here?” Khiara turned to the source of the voice.

Someone dropped his ass next to him. A man with Asian-European good looks. The man raised his eyebrows next to her. But Khiara immediately turned her face uninterested.

He returns to Kaiven who is playing in the pool. Khiara didn't have to worry that the child would drown, that child could swim. His capture is amazing.

“Once, maybe in a minute. I was lazy,” he replied. The man turned to Kaiven.

“He's looking for you.” Lopsided slanted smile on Khiara's lips.

“I guessed.”

“It looks like you've managed to make him fall in love.” Khiara just kept quiet. “Half of your mission has succeeded, but I think you will fail at the end.” Khiara frowned.

“Why can you think like that?”

“Come on Khiara, you're starting to fall in love with her.” Khiara laughed amusedly hearing that.

“Oh Adit, come on! You know, I'm just in love with one guy. And the taste hasn't changed until now.”

“But you're in love with her, baby. That's why now you're avoiding him.”

“I did avoid all men, Dit. I am a ____”

“You didn't avoid them Khiara, but you rejected them. Throw them all the way before they can touch you.”

True, what Adit said is true. That's what he's been doing all along. And now he doesn't know his own feelings. If he himself is consumed by his game, he will not be able to continue his mission.

“How do you know if he's looking for me?” Khiara switched the conversation.

If Alex asks Artha, it's quite possible. Because the man must have met Artha considering Alex had seen himself and Artha chatting on the mountain. Khiara is convinced that the man will find out who Artha is.

“It seems like he has also been looking into my presence near you. He contacted me personally.” Khiara turned to Adit. “It looks like you underestimated him too much.”

If Alex has found out about Adit, then it is likely that he has also been looking for other Khiara friends. Finding out about them is indeed a possible thing, the man can draw an outline of his closeness and Artha and widen on Artha's best friend who is certainly Khiara's best friend as well.

Khiara did not delete personal data about her relationship and her friends. He left it just like that to be known by anyone who tried to find out his knowledge. There is nothing wrong with their closeness.

But if the person can contact an Aditya Iskandar directly, it means that the person is not an ordinary person. If it's Artha, Endra or Krishna it can still be digested. But if it came to an Aditya, that person definitely had a lot of connections around him.

Adit is not an ordinary person, he is a great person. He is the successor to the largest motor company in Europe. Not just anyone can contact him.

Is it possible that an heir to a stake in an elite university in a developing country is able to penetrate an Adit? That feels impossible. Even multinational entrepreneurs who have never worked with him can only contact Adit through his assistant.

Adit's world and Alex's world are clearly much different. Their levels are different. Oh, Khiara had indeed seen the mansion and the flower fields belonging to his family. That's enough to prove how rich Alex's family is.

But it should be noted, the mansion stands in developing countries in the southeast Asia region, not in continental Europe or America.

Alex is rich, but in the multinational sphere he is not a man of power. At least that was what he knew from the accurate information he had obtained.

“Did you really know who your target was?” This time Adit turned his head and looked at Khiara's eyes fixedly.

Khiara just breathed out her heavy breath and moved from there. Kaiven has been playing water there for a long time.

...***...

He didn't even put Alex's name on his previous list of revenge. He just put Alex's name on his to do list after he met the man.

That he did as a first step to extract information from him. After all, only Alex knew the people he was looking for. He actually just wanted to play around with Alex and teach him a little lesson.

But why is he so caught up in his feelings?

If it's like this, maybe he should focus first on the ultimate revenge. Well, revenge on the man who raped her. The one who had dragged him into ruin four years ago.

While finding out where the fucker is, he will investigate further who Alex really is.

"Khiara_"

"Hemh?" Khiara lifted her face as her mother patted her shoulder.

"Wouldn't we just go back to Indonesia? We're worried about you."

"No need to worry about me, Mah. I can take care of myself."

"But darling_"

"Well, I'll be fine."

"But son, aren't you kasian with your son? Paris is too far away. If anything it takes more than twelve hours to travel."

"I know, Mah. But it would be riskier if you, especially Kaiven, were near me. Wait till I'm done with my problem, huh!?"

"If that's the only problem, we don't have to stay with son. We can stay apart. As long as it stays in one city."

"No Mah, you can't stay at Mamah's house. Masih_"

"We won't stay at Mamah's house if it worries you. We can buy another house that's a little further away from where you live." His mother grabbed his daughter's face. "Papa Louis is retired, he wants to go back to Jogja and spend his old age there."

Khiara glanced at her father, who is now playing with Kaiven. The old man loved his wife so much, he never protested when he had to follow Khiara's mother to live in a different country for the past four years. He followed her wherever she went.

Given that, it made Khiara feel guilty. In order to follow him who is hiding from problems in his past, his parents are willing to move countries.

He ignored the fact that in his parents' old age, of course, they just wanted to spend their old age peacefully in the place they wanted so much. A place where they can feel comfortable.

"Then what about this house? Papa bought it for you."

"This house is property, we can rent it."

Khiara nodded in understanding. "All right, I'll think about it." His mother's smile. And that makes Khiara relieved. This was the first time her mother had asked her for something, and she was happy that she had already expressed her heart.

"Thank you dear" said Mrs. Louis hugged his daughter.

For Mrs. Louis may have been a bit selfish, but he was really worried about his daughter and his first grandchild.

She also felt sorry for her husband who missed the small town. Although it is not his hometown. But her husband has been directly smitten with the city since he first set foot there.
