The Cold Wife
Chapter 46

Since then Sweet has continued to smile sweetly, staring at the wedding photos framed beautifully. Just a few hours after Alex left, he had already missed the man. The man who managed to snatch his heart in a short time.

When Sweet was busy looking at Alex's face in the photo, the sound of his cell phone ringing attracted attention. Sweet put the precious thing back on the nightstand. Then take his cell phone not far from where it is. A string of unknown numbers appeared on the screen. Both of his eyebrows furrowed, with doubt he received a call. Sweet was silent for a moment to wait for the person who called him to speak.

"Hallo, My Sweety. How's it going? I see you're so happy with your husband? Daddy's happy, honey."

Sweet was stunned, never expecting that Santonio would contact him again. True Alex said, the old man was so shameless.

"What do you want?" Ketus Sweet's. It was so bad to respond to the old man.

"I just miss you, how are you, baby?"

"No need to talk, tell me what you want?" Firm Sweet. He did not want to linger with Santonio.

"Not much, I just want you to take some important documents from your husband. As a guarantee, I'll tell you where your parents are."

Sweet did not give an exaggerated response, because he believed that Alex was looking for the whereabouts of his parents. "No need, I already know where they are."

Sweet was forced to lie, because he wanted to break with Santonio as soon as possible.

"Well, so your husband told you the whereabouts of those two useless people? Your cruel husband is really in love with you" said Santonio, who ended with a booming laugh.

Unlike Sweet, he was stunned to hear it. Does Alex know about their whereabouts? If so, why would Alex hide all that? No, Sweet. You have to trust your husband, not him who clearly wants you dead. Think Sweet.

Since there was no answer from Sweet, Santonio again said the thing that made the woman furious. "What if I touch one of your husband's families, or maybe your own husband. I'll shoot him in the heart from a distance."

Sweet was again stunned, he never expected that Santonio would dare to threaten him like that. "Do it if you can! Because I will also do everything for my happiness, including getting rid of people who will be my hindrance in achieving dreams. And remember one thing, if only you dared to hurt my husband, I'd kill you myself. You think I don't know about your dying son? I know your weakness. You know who I am, there's no fear in me!"

Sweet was satisfied after issuing a threat to the man he once called Daddy. There was no answer whatsoever, evidently if the man was afraid of all Sweet's threats. Even Sweet couldn't possibly do any of that. Then the call was cut off from the other side.

Sweet let out a heavy sigh, lucky that he was not provoked by Santonio's words. It could be his plan to destroy Sweet and Alex's relationship. Because what they want must run aground in the middle of the road. Maybe Santonio also forgot something, that Alex would not fall easily.

Last night's memories came back to haunt Sweet. He never thought, if the conversation last night would backfire for himself. Santonio certainly planned all of that carefully. If Sweet had not responded to the old man's words, perhaps something like this would never have happened.

Sweet sat on the sofa hugging herself. His face was pale with an empty look. Alex's attitude has proven, all this time he was the one who struggled alone to string the heart. Once neatly arranged, Alex easily destroys all of it. If he knew all this would happen, Sweet would never give the man his heart. But it was too late, the love had grown so fertile.

"What's my fault? Why is there not a single happiness in my life. Just a little, God." Sweet cried in deep sorrow. He had never felt more pain than he did now. The bloodless pain was more painful than a deep enough wound. It is very difficult to treat, because the source of the pain is difficult to reach.

Another case with Alex, the man was sitting lethargic on his chair. Both of his hands clenched tightly, the look of his sharp eyes continued to be fixed on the portrait of the woman who had been decorating his workbench. He kept thinking about what happened a few hours ago, if only he was a minute late. Maybe he will lose the figure of the woman who once stopped in his heart.

"I'll never forgive you, Ana. If anything had happened to him," Alex muttered as he slammed into the portrait of his wife. Fractions of glass were scattered irregularly on the floor.

Since yesterday, Alex has been going to Hamburg to look for evidence of his parents' death. Then this morning, Santonio came to see him. Alex initially refused the meeting. But Santonio's plan was successful, after naming Sweet. Alex gives Santonio time to talk.

"Tell me briefly," Alex ordered without looking at the interlocutor. Honestly, he was so lazy just to look at the old man's face.

"Maybe you never know about your wife, she's not who you think she is."

"Don't beat around with me" Alex said.

"Listen to this." Santonio pulled out his phone, and a recording of a woman's voice was heard so clearly.

Do it if you can! Because I will also do everything for my happiness, including getting rid of people who will be my hindrance in achieving dreams.

"You must know that voice, right? It belongs to your wife, the woman you consider an angel. Don't forget, I raised him. It is certain that my ambitious soul is embedded within him."

Alex gets up from the couch, pulls Santonio's collar in a peaking rage. "Once again you insult my wife, I'll rip your whole family apart!"

All the way home, Alex kept thinking about Santonio's words. Also the voice of the woman was really similar to the voice of the wife. Then, Alex went back to twisting Sweet's every word before he left. Sweet says she's jealous of Nissa.

"Faster!" Alex yells at the driver. Joshua who witnessed everything did not dare to issue an opinion.

Upon arrival at the Mansion, Alex immediately searches for Sweet's whereabouts. Almost the entire room he surrounded, so decided to go to the backyard. Sure enough, there he saw Sweet standing alone on the edge of the pool. Yeah, only Sweet was there.

But Alex's heart stopped beating when he saw a hand raised on the surface of the water. Without a second thought, he immediately jumped to save the figure in the pool. The feeling is chaotic, all the bad thoughts about Sweet haunt his head. And decided not to trust the woman anymore. Coupled with all the evidence that led up to Sweet.

"Mas," call Sweet when she sees Alex coming out of her study. After pondering, Sweet decided to tell all the truth. Alex believe it or not, it's a business lately. Regarding both parents, Sweet will also directly ask Alex.

The man is now wearing casual clothes. It looks like he's really going to leave.

"Mas," call Sweet again because Alex ignores him. The man stepped quickly leaving Sweet who continued to chase after him. Sweet almost fell down the stairs, lucky to hold his hand.

"I'll say.." Sweet's words got stuck because Alex disappeared behind the door. Sweet keeps trying to catch Alex who has entered the car.

"Mas, listen to me first. You yourself said you wanted to keep trusting me, go down mas." Sweet banged on Alex's car window. There was no response from Alex. The man chose silence with a straight forward look.

"We can talk about it, open up!" Sweet was getting upset over Alex's attitude.

"Well, I'll never talk to you and explain anything." Sweet pretends to give up, he hopes Alex hears. But he was wrong, Alex still ignored him and the car drove quickly.

"Mas, you have to tell me where my parents are." Sweet shouted as he chased Alex's car. Too bad, the car Alex was driving was speeding up. Sweet was really frustrated, his body was squeezed and drooping helplessly.

"Sweet, come in." Sweet was stunned when a hand touched his shoulder. Milan, the woman was already standing behind him.

Sweet did not respond, he chose to get back up and leave the mansion. With a quick step, Sweet completely left the place filled with those memories.

There was no direction Sweet was currently aiming for, he was just following his footsteps. There was no place for him to dock at the moment. His mind is empty now.

Without Sweet realizing it, a blue Audi stopped right next to him.

"Beib...." Call a woman the owner of the car. Sweet flinched, and it was Grace who was in the car. The wand woman got out of the car, and walked over to Sweet.

"Where are you going?" grace looked at Sweet suspiciously. Both Sweet's eyes look swollen and flushed.

"Come on," Sweet said softly. Makes Grace even more curious.

"Did he hurt you?" ask Grace again. Sweet was silent for a moment, then nodded slowly. Grace's face turned red.

"Suckers! I doubted him from the beginning. All men are the same, their words cannot be held. Follow me, Sweet." Grace pulls Sweet's hand. Pushing his best friend into the car. They left the place without a word.

"I was planning to go to the hospital, something happened to my foster mother. You know what's going on?" grace asked again to open the conversation after a long silence. However, Sweet did not reply at all. His mind was blank, only one person he remembered, Alex.

"Beib, are you ok?" ask Grace worried. Pulling Sweet from daydreams.

"Take me out of here, Grace. I want to go as far as possible" Sweet said in a weak tone. Grace who heard that felt pity. He knew very well how his best friend had lived since childhood. So much burden that Sweet bears on his shoulders.

"You sure? I hope you won't regret your decision, Honey." Grace's hand clasped Sweet's hand tightly.

"I will never regret it" Sweet replied so sure. Then he turned back to look out the window. Maybe this is his decision, to leave the love that never really existed.

You're the one who asked me to leave, my principles will remain the same. There will be no second chance. Sorry, I do love you. But you prefer your old love, I have to go and maybe never come back. With sincerity, I truly love you, my Husband.
