The Cold Wife
Chapter 49

The sound of the clattering of one's feet slowly drew closer, continuing to move towards a room that was quite minimal lighting. Inside were four women and two men. All the inhabitants there were completely unable to move, as their legs and hands were firmly tied. Their condition is quite sad, it has been almost a full month locked there with food and drinks. Far from even a worthy word.

The sound of the door opening also made the six occupants feel anxious. They close themselves together. Until the lights were on, a man dressed in black stood up haughtily. The situation can be said to be messy, the sleeves of a shirt that has been rolled up to the elbows and hair that is not maintained. It even had a glint of anger in his eyes.

"Not yet to admit your mistake?" the man pulled out a chair and sat there with his legs crossed. His eyes were still on the six suspects.

"Punish us, sir. We're just running orders. My son is seriously ill, and needs a lot of money." A man asked for forgiveness. All the torture he received was quite painful.

"Ah, sorry? How's yours?" asked the man while looking at a woman who was looking at him full of disappointment and anger. Alex, of course the man who is currently in control of the five men and his cousin who have committed treason.

"Of course not, I'm glad the demon lady is gone. Because I won't let anyone have you" he concluded with high confidence. Alex, who heard that, laughed.

"Ah, a very adorable cousin sister. Do you know, I'm honored to have your love. But baby, I love my sweet wife more. Although he's far from sexy, but it makes me want to hold him." Alex got up from the chair, walked over to Cherry. The woman felt pain upon hearing Alex's revelation.

"Sister, you have to trust me. I love you so much, I will do anything for you to accept me. I'm..."

"No, he's lying. I'm the one who loved you first, sir. I'm willing to humble myself just for you" Gilly exuberantly cut.

Alex smiled triumphantly, "is that really it? Are you willing to do anything for me?"

Alex approaches, rubbing Cherry's and Gilly's faces alternately. The two women looked delighted and nodded enthusiastically.

Blood is indeed thicker than water, it is not strange that you are so full of ambition. Wants to have me, right? Let's start this game.

"Sure, I'll do whatever it is." Cherry looks enthusiastic. Perhaps this is the end of her struggle to have the love she always dreamed of. No matter what risk he has to take.

"I am too, Sir. Will do anything. Just so you can accept me," this time Gilly didn't want to lose. The woman moved closer to Alex.

"All right, tonight I need you. I'll wait in the room" a smile was engraved on the lips of the two women. And Alex, too, smiled triumphantly.

Men are very easily conquered. Just by getting on the bed, I'll get what I've been dreaming of. Become a Grand Mistress Alexander. After that, I will get rid of one more barrier. Cherry thought with a meaningful smile, with a gaze fixed on Gilly.

Do I dream that I will soon be the mistress of this house? This time I let the crazy lady go to various rooms with me, after all this had passed. I will destroy you, lady jal**g. Inner Gilly while staring at the fierce Cherry.

After a fairly emotionally draining conversation, Alex left the dirty place with mounting anger. With disgust, Alex immediately washed both of his hands.

"Do it quickly" Alex orders Joshua, who has been following him ever since.

"Good, Sir." Joshua moved quickly, leaving Alex still silent as he looked at himself from behind the mirror.

"Ana" is the only name he can say. Instantly his heart ached, until without realizing it a drop of tears fell from his eyes. Alex was startled, and rubbed the clear liquid with his palm. He almost forgot what it was like to cry, until this time he really felt back.

"You see, Ana! You're the only one who makes me weak like this" Alex muttered to himself. He regretted everything he had done to Sweet. For a month he continued to search for his wife, but there was no result. It was as if everything was lost in the earth. Alex is very sure, someone has hidden Sweet's whereabouts.

Alex looked back at himself behind the mirror. His handsome face was currently filled with fine hairs, even his hair that began to be long was unruly. So similar to the mafia figures in a novel.

"I'll never let go of you, I'll find you even if you're at the end of the world. Maybe not now, but someday I'll take you back to this house."

Alex laughed at himself. He deserves a punishment like this. I feel sick and full of regrets. The loss that tormented him so much. Sweet was like an opium to him, it was very difficult to lose in thought.

"Why did you bring us here?" ketus Cherry when Joshua takes her to a room. Of course it wasn't Alex's room. It's a room that Alex never entered.

"Your master's room is above, why did you bring us here?" this time Gilly chimed in.

"Sorry, Miss. Sir orders you not to ask much, sir just wants you to feel comfortable. The upper room is where the old lady lived. Master just wants you to feel comfortable. Please come in, Miss." Joshua opened the door for the two women. Unsuspecting, the two women went straight into the room. Their appearance was quite tempting to the eyes of the man who saw it. It just doesn't apply to a Joshua. The man closed the door and locked it.

"Why is it so dark?" ask Cherry a little doubt. The two walked slowly, hoping that the person they wanted was there.

"I've been waiting a long time, get on the bed." A baritone voice belonging to someone managed to steal the attention of the two women. Their eyes were fixed on the black shadow sitting on the bed. Without a second thought, the two women climbed into the bed. Approaching the figure of a man they could not see his face clearly.

"Sister, are you sure you want to sleep with this waiter?" Cherry opened the conversation with a hand that continued to play in the field of the mysterious figure. There was no answer from the man.

Gilly looks angry at Cherry's question, and he does not want to lose. He moves agilely and sexually. Trying to tempt the heart. Until the long night really happened.

In a room, a woman stands bowed in fear. His hands were tightly clung to each other. Waiting for the Master to express the meaning of his calling.

"Daisy? That your name?" That masculine voice really made Daisy's heart seem to jump outside.

The night after Sweet's departure, the girl goes straight to Alex.

"I'm sorry, Sir." Daisy dropped to the floor, kneeling with both hands cupped to her chest. His tears were flowing profusely, a feeling of fear also began to stir in his heart.

"The lady is completely innocent, Miss Cherry did that. We can't do anything, because Miss Cherry posed a threat to us. He's gonna hurt our family. I don't want to lose my only mother, but on the other hand I don't want anything to happen to Madam either. Please bring the Madam back," Daisy's voice filled the room. Alex who heard that did not react at all. At first, he knew all the details of the incident.

"Master, you may punish me. You can kill me too, but please. Trust the Madam."

"You have proof?" ask Alex casually. But unlike Daisy, he looks increasingly nervous.

"You can ask this of the other servants, they also saw. I don't have physical evidence, but I can be a witness." Daisy keeps trying to convince Alex. He really felt guilty about Sweet. I can't help him as a friend. This is all he can do, to get Sweet back.

"So you're not afraid of death?" ask Alex again, making the interlocutor more gameless.

"Sa. I'm afraid. But, I will accept sincerely if it is as punishment, for my mistake." Daisy looks resigned.

"Good.... " Alex hung up his words and got up from a sitting position.

"Josh, set a good time to punish this woman." After saying that, Alex rushed off.

Daisy was a little relieved, Alex still gave her time. Although fear continues to wander his heart, but the feeling of guilt is more domineering.

"You can come back" Joshua told Daisy. The woman immediately left. Maybe starting tonight, he'll never rest in his sleep.

"You're married?" alex asked so calmly. But the question he was asked looked confused.

"Be. not yet, sir." Daisy gets down from her embarrassment and fears Alex.

"Do you remember the punishment I said first?" Alex asked a question again. Of course Daisy remembered, it was what always haunted her day and night.

"Remember, Sir."

"Good, I hope that you will truly accept this punishment with sincerity, as you said before."

Daisy is unable to answer anything, she is resigned to her life.

"Tomorrow, pack your things and go home. A man named Max, will marry you tomorrow. I guarantee he'll make you happy, live your life the way you want." Alex got up from his seat.

While Daisy, she looks shocked and still does not understand Alex's intentions.

"I've investigated who you are, go home and accompany your mother's old age. As punishment, I gave a man to you. I hope you live happily" Alex continued.

Daisy was stunned, her tears were rushing. Never once did he imagine that he would receive such a punishment. It is more appropriate to say a gift than a punishment.

"You mind?" alex asks when he doesn't get an answer from Daisy.

"Ti. no, sir. I'm very grateful for the kindness, sir. I hope, Madam will be back soon. And you live happily," Daisy kneels. He felt like all this was a dream. Be married? Does it have to be this fast? I don't even know who that guy is? But my only dream is to live happily with your mother and husband. Inner Daisy.

"Josh, take him back to his residence tomorrow. My wife's favorite woman should not be hurt" Alex said, who then left. As usual, Joshua continued to follow himself wherever he went.

Daisy feels overwhelmed, all her bad thoughts about Alex just overflow. He will never forget the kindness of Sweet and Alex.

"Josh, do you think Ana would be happy to see her friend happy?" ask Alex to Joshua.

"Of course, Sir. Madam must be happy."

"What if you get married too?" The question managed to make Joshua stunned.

"Sorry, Sir. Looking for the whereabouts of the Madam is most important, my happiness is nothing." Joshua bowed a little.

"Well, you're the most loyal. Like I have to get all this done quickly," Alex massaged his temples, thinking about Sweet always draining his energy.

Joshua smiled faintly, he felt happy because Alex had completely changed. Looks like Sweet's presence in his heart knocked a little on the door of kindness in Alex. All the fear Joshua thought of evaporated slowly.

"Master, it seems like you should also pay attention to yourself. Madam wouldn't like it if you look like this."

Hearing that, Alex directly researched his own appearance. Everything Joshua said was true, right now Alex looks like a madman. Maybe a little change will bring her new happiness.
