THE PROMISE
CHAPTER 52. DANENDRA'S ANGER

“My husband! Look at this village girl's behavior is so embarrassing! Last night did not come home it turns out he stayed at the hotel and was caught red-handed by reporters!”

 “What?  Anastasya staying at a hotel with a man? Who's that guy?”

“Who else, pa. Young Master Archilles!”says annoyed.

“A—what? Young Master Archiles? Wow...good...good....this is great.”.

“What's good? This is so embarrassing, the news has gone viral!”

“This is really good news. That meant that the relationship of Anastasya and Young Master Archiles was very close. That way I'll benefit from their relationship. My daughter is really great at being able to hook such a rich man.”

Danendra smiled with satisfaction and was very proud. In his mind now began to be filled with various benefits that will be obtained with the relationship Anastasya and Kenneth. The selfish middle-aged man had never thought of anyone else, he only cared about himself and his benefits.

Hearing her husband's words made Clarissa very angry, she envied seeing Anastasya the village girl who managed to hook a handsome and rich man. He could already imagine what kind of life Anastasya would live.

“Good news that is bad for our family. What would people say later if they knew the girl was Anastasya!” clarissa was upset.

“Just calm everything will be fine.  Ha ha ha I didn't expect my daughter to be that great.” Danendra laughed with satisfaction while reading the viral news and comments of netizens. Clarissa snorted and left while stomping her feet, she could not accept that good fortune sided with Anastasya. He continued walking into the backyard and after making sure no one else was there he contacted someone.

“Halo, darling. Did you miss me?”

“I'm upset! The girl is getting worse. When can you finish it?”

“Quiet dear, don't get angry. Come to my place, I will satisfy you. I wait now yes.”

“Hem...I'm being serious! Stop joking, where might I meet you now my husband is home. Quickly you think of how to get rid of that country girl forever!”

“I have an idea, come here we can talk together. I wait ya dear.”

“Arrgggg....fuck! I need to find a reason to get out of the house. Mending I met him let me not stress.” Clarissa said. Somewhat for a long time he walked back and forth while folding his chest hands, thinking about what steps he should take.

Finally an idea popped into his head, his face smiled and walked back home. Clarissa did not see her husband in the living room and she stepped into the study.   As Clarissa approached her husband's study, she heard her husband's voice and Natasha's voice.

Clarissa rushed to push the door and looked at her husband's reddened face full of anger while his hand pointed towards Natasha's face. “What is this my husband?” ask Clarissa to approach Natasha, “Why are you scolding my daughter?"

“How dare he insult Anastasya about the news that is again viral! The child does not know himself! You should have followed your brother who could get a rich man like Young Master Archilles!"                                                                                               

“Why is it that papa is defending him now? He's already put this family to shame!”

Plaque!!!!

“Pa Natasha was stunned, for the umpteenth time her father scolded her and slapped her for Anastasya to make her hate the girl even more.

Clarissa hugged her sobbing daughter and coaxed her, “Quiet down. Don't you have to go filming? Come with mama. My husband, I'm going to go filming with Natasha.”

Danendra stared intently at the two women who left without saying a word. While inside Clarissa's head, she felt this was the right reason to leave the house. “Tasha darling. Don't cry, mama has reminded you repeatedly not to look for trouble with your papa and also your brother.”

“Calm down, your papa is emotional. You know if that news will bring a lot of luck to our family? You shouldn't have vilified Anastasya to papa!”

“Fortune? The one in the village girl is just humiliating our family!”

“Sstt...hears well. If it's true Anastasya and Kenneth have a close relationship this is very profitable papa. Papa's company can definitely get help from the Archilles family company. That means our family finances will be abundant, you will also enjoy, right? Don't cry anymore, just look on the positive side. Naturally your papa is angry with your attitude and speech.”

“Huh...it would be better if I were the young master's partner.”

“Cannot be! He is interested in Anastasya. Never do something that will hurt us. Just let them relate and you will enjoy a lot of benefits. There are still many rich and handsome men out there that you can choose.” Clarissa said.

Natasha only sighed, in her heart unwillingly if all luck sided with Anastasya the village girl. But his mother's words have a point too, after all he has enjoyed his luck by using Kenneth Archilles business card.

The same smile appeared on Natasha's lips but disappeared again. Remembering about the business card again frightened him if he was caught.  The only way is to finish filming and enjoy the opportunities that are in his hands. 

“Prepare. Mama will take you to the filming location.” Natasha rushed into her room and made her move, and soon the mother and daughter set off for the set. After delivering Natasha to the set, Clarissa drove her car towards a housing complex.

Kenneth took Anastasya to his apartment, when he arrived there it appeared that two servants were holding paperbags and handed them to Kenneth.

“Young Master, this is Mr darri's order boutique.”

“Hem...prepare food now.”.

“All are ready for dinner Mr.” replied the waiter while bowing his head.

“We better eat first. Today you can rest here, the waiter will accompany you here and if you need anything just ask them.” said Kenneth.

“How about the hotel room you have reserved?”

“Do you want to go back there? The reporters must still be there waiting until you get back. You just stay here for a few days, if you get bored the two servants can accompany you out. You can call your family and tell them you have to get out of town for work.”

“Are you not going to the office today?” ask Anastasya.

“Do you want me to stay here? I have free time for you today.” smile Kenneth.

“Ti—no. You can go to the office, I've been bothering you since yesterday.”

“It's okay. I can work from home, besides today there is not much work in the office and Rian can take care of everything.”

“Then my work? I feel bad if I don't work. There's still filming I need to finish.”

“Tasha! Didn't I tell you that you don't have to work for a few days? Your condition has not recovered and you should not be out for a while. Just rest at home, this is your vacation?”

“Good. Thanks Ken!” Anastasya. The two entered the dining room and sat facing each other, various dishes already available at the dining table. Both of them eat in silence.
