The Cold Wife
IYD 8'S

Alexa kept watching Sky bathing her son. Yes, Alexa did decide to meet Sky directly. He was very curious about the life of this woman. I also want to see his nephew.

"You still want to be here, Lexa?" Sky asked who had finished bathing Gabriel. Alexa had no intention of answering and was only following the woman.

"Why do you keep bothering me? Two days ago your sister came to me. Accusing and threatening me with sadism. Do you want to do the same? Do it, I'll take it." Oceh Sky put little Gabriel to bed.

Alexa sat on the edge of the bed. His gaze was still imprinted on the baby who was babbling on his own and occasionally smiled. A smile that was so similar to Arel. "How old is he?" Alexa rubbed Gabriel's red cheeks.

Sky who heard that instantly looked at Alexa sharply. I also don't want to answer Alexa's questions. In the past, Sky and Alexa were pretty close. Sky does prefer to chat with Alexa compared to Alexella who is always indifferent to him.

"Tell me what's your purpose in coming here, Lexa?" Ask Sky full of probes. "If you're going to ruin my life, you don't have to come here. I'm sure you can find out about me without having to see me. There's nothing interesting about my life anyway, why are you so curious huh?"

"Because you're hiding a big secret, Sky." Alexa is relaxed. Sky who heard that raised a confused look.

"Confidential?"

Alexa focused her full attention on the woman before her. "Yes, you brought my brother's seed. Then the seed had grown to this size."

Sky was shocked. "Whatchu mean? Gabriel doesn't belong to Arel, he belongs to my husband." Sky looks nervous.

"If this child belongs to your husband, you can't possibly pin my twin name as his real father."

Sky was shocked again. He can't believe Alexa's been looking that far.

"You still deny it, Sky? Even we've done DNA tests, 99% of their DNA matches. You still want to say if the kid belongs to your husband?"

Sky's mouth was tightly clenched. Her tears began to curl up and drip slowly.

Alexa breathed heavily. Grab Sky's hand gently. "You can tell me everything, Sky. Like you used to tell me about your complaints against Arel. I'll hear it."

Sky's body trembled as it held back the cries. "I'm sorry, Lexa. I've ruined your brother's life. I don't deserve your pity anymore. Just insult me, Lexa. Insult me like Xella insulted me. Do it Lexa."

Alexa pulls Sky in her arms. The woman's cry broke instantly. Alexa let the woman pull out all the tightness in her chest. He knew Sky was in need of a backrest at the moment.

Maybe everyone only knows Alexa with its ridiculousness. But they never know, Alexa has a motherly soul so big. And it's only shown to certain people.

After being satisfied with crying, Sky pulled away from Alexa's arms. Look at Alexa so deeply. "Why are you still good to me, Lexa?"

Alexa smiled broadly. "Because my brother loves you so much. He would not choose a woman to love. I know you have a good reason to leave my brother. The proof is that you're still raising her son to this size. Did any of my family threaten you, Sky?"

Sky immediately shook his head strongly. "I didn't leave because of your family." Answer Sky quickly. He also looked down sluggish.

Alexa looked at Sky so deeply. Your attitude proves that my question is correct, Sky. You were so scared when I asked about the threat.

"I trust you, you better finish your son's business. Look at him cold." Said Alexa looking at the little Gabriel who had sat down while playing the towel.

"Geez, I'm sorry Mommy, honey." Sky's speech brought Gabriel in a sling. Then put clothes on him. Of course, all of that can not be separated from the supervision of Alexa.

"It's like a dream, Arel already has a son. I never knew you guys did that at such a young age. Wasn't that time you were eighteen?" Ask Alexa.

Sky raised his face, looking at Alexa so deeply. "Yes." Yeah."

"Why did you decide to take care of Sky? You still love my brother, don't you?"

Sky was silent for a long time, as if reluctant to answer Alexa's questions.

"Ah, you don't have to answer. Forget about that." Alexa understands the situation.

"Lexa." Call Sky a little quiver.

"Yes?"

"Can you not tell him about Gabriel? I. I don't want to disturb his life anymore. I will go as far as possible and never come back. I beg Lexa." Sky looked at Alexa full of pleas.

"I can't do that, Sky. My brother has rights over this boy. He's his real father. You can't take him away."

"Lexa, I beg you. I don't want to part with Gabriel, I...."

"Then go back to her, Sky. I know you still love him very much. The proof is that you don't refuse to spend the night with her. He still loves you, Sky. His life was completely ruined after your departure. He's changed, Sky. Every day she fucks different women and just dumps them. Every day he throws a tantrum until Mommy and Daddy have a fight."

Sky was shocked to hear Alexa's revelation. "Me... fuck a lot of women?"

"Yes, it happened after you left. He also has a mental disorder. Not once did he hurt himself twice. Including a few days ago, the incident where after you guys spent the night. Arel injured his hand until it ran out of blood. Luckily Jarvis came by then, otherwise I don't know what happened to him. Maybe I'll lose her, Sky."

Sky shut his mouth, barely believing Alexa's revelation. His heart was like a thousand daggers when he heard the condition of his former lover. "I'm sorry, Arel." Lirih Sky cried bitterly.

Alexa pulled Sky's hand gently. "I'm begging you, Sky. Go back to her, tell her the truth about what happened to you all along. Maybe we can help you."

Alexa gave a sharp look. "Then, don't blame us for taking legal action to seize Gabriel's custody. He's Digantara's descendant. Our thick blood flows in his veins, Sky. We will not abandon the descendants of Digantara just like that." Alexa wakes up from her position. And then hurry up from there.

Sky's cry was breaking. He hugged Gabriel so tightly, gently darting his son's head. The past haunts him again.

Sky looked at the middle-aged woman sitting opposite him at a cafe table. Both of his hands were tightly clung. He was very nervous, because for the first time he met Sweet. Mother of her lover. A few hours ago Sweet contacted him in person and asked to meet. Of course Sky agreed, he could not refuse Sweet's first invitation.

"So you're Sky?" Sweet asked, looking at Sky so deeply.

"Yes, Aunty." Sky answered nervously.

"You are so beautiful" Sweet said sincerely.

"Thank you," Sky replied increasingly nervously. He felt he was facing an impromptu interview.

"How old are you?"

"De. eighteen years." Answer Sky.

"Well, that's young. Don't be so nervous, just relax." Sweet said holding Sky's hand. The girl also dared to look at Sweet.

"Sorry, Aunty. Is there something Aunty wants to say?" Sky gave a questionable look.

Sweet paused for a moment, then took a deep breath. "You know right now Arel has to run some business for the inauguration of the heir?"

Sky nodded slowly.

"Don't misunderstand what Aunty wants to say. But this is for the good of Arel's future. You're too young to be in a relationship any further. So Aunty asked you for help, stay away from Arel for some time. Until the inauguration day arrives. Aunty saw Arel starting to get out of focus and spend more time with you. He often leaves family meetings just to see you. That would affect the judgment within Arel. Aunty doesn't want her Daddy to realize that, because it won't be good for your relationship. Aunty also doesn't want to ruin your feelings."

Sky tried to digest all Sweet's words.

"Talk this to Arel, you guys should keep your distance for some time. After the inauguration, you are free to continue the relationship to the serious stage. Aunty believes you're a good and understanding girl. Aunty just wants to make sure Aunty's kids' future is good." Sweet smiled kindly.

"Do you mind, Sky? Just a few months."

Sky was silent for a moment, then nodded slowly. Sweet who saw that smiled happily. "Thank you, you're very understanding, Sky."

"Together, Aunty."

After the meeting, Sky went straight home. But he felt surprised because in front of his house there was already a luxury car. With quick steps Sky entered his house.

Father Sky who saw the return of his daughter immediately woke up from his seat. "Owh, what a coincidence that you've come home Sky. Let's introduce you to Mr. Clodio. Your future husband."

"What?" Sky was shocked to hear his father's words. Sky immediately threw a glance at the tall man who was now sitting arrogantly on the sofa.

"He's your future husband, Sky. Mom and Dad have matched you with him. He's a good boy, he helps us pay off debts. Your life will be assured."

Sky's eyes glazed over hearing that bitter reality. "I don't agree, Dad. I already have a lover."

"Kiy. You can't refuse my decision, leave the man. He won't be able to reach you, look at his distinguished family. You'll only be made into a display. You've been dating for five months, what's he giving to our Sky family? There aren't. Come on, Mr. Clodio is much better than him."

"I don't want to!" Sky's shriek began to ignite emotions.

"Mr Evvender, if he doesn't want to. Then our deal breaks." Said the haughty man casually.

"Yes, just decide." Shouted Sky loudly. Of course it ignited his father's emotions. Mr. Evvender blocked Sky's arm.

"Stop, Sky. Inevitably, you will still marry him. Tonight Mr. Clodio will marry you."

"Dad, you're cruel. I don't love her. I don't want to marry him."

"And you'd rather have your father and mother beheaded, huh? If we can't pay off that debt tomorrow, you're gonna have to lose me and your mom. Then they'll sell you for pay."

Sky looked at the mother who had been silent since. "Mom, I don't want to get married. I love my lover." Lirih Sky's.

"If that's what you want, kill me right now, Sky. Kill me." Snapped Mr. Evvender slapping Sky's hand to his chest.

"Dad." Lirih Sky cried as hard as he could.

"I borrowed the money to save you, Sky. You needed expensive treatment when you were a kid. It was all my fault, because you had to be born into a poor family like me. It's my fault, Sky."

"Dad." Sky hugged his father tightly. His heart really hurt to hear the pain of his life.

"I don't want this to happen either, if I die. Who will take care of you, what will happen to you if they sell you?"

Sky's cry grew louder and louder hearing that. Why is all this happening at the same time? Where he is also asked to stay away from the lover. If Sky says this to Arel. The man will not be able to let go of himself. It knew very well what Arel's hard nature was like. His future will be threatened. Sky doesn't want that to happen. But he also did not want to marry the foreigner. It's dilemma.
