The Revenge of the Actor
A Truth Revealed

Clarissa landed her crazy ass in the poolside gazebo. Sighs deeply to get rid of the burden that is pressing on his chest. It was unexpected that the day the truth about her past as an actor was revealed in front of her husband.

"The man in the picture is Jack, my best friend. Our friendship began when he found me lying helpless on the riverbank in West Java. That day, I just had an accident that took the life of a baby in my womb" Clarissa began to tell the origin of why she and Jack were friends.

"What's? A baby? So you mean, before you conceived my son, you were pregnant before. That so?" ask Sean full of probes. Squinting eyes stared intently at his beloved wife. I can't believe what he just heard.

Clarissa looked at Sean with a pushy look. "really. Do you remember when we first got in touch? You didn't feel like something was blocking my core, did you? It's all because I've had relationships with other men under the control of stimulants before. You know, who set me up for pregnancy when I was eighteen?" Sean shook his head weakly. "The person is ... Karin, your ex-wife."

As if hearing the thunderous roar during the day, Sean's body was instantly weak. The man's limbs could not support his body's weight. The truth Clarissa told made the man's eyeballs widen perfectly. It is really unexpected that the ex-wife who had just been divorced for a few days had an attachment to the woman in front of him in the past.

"You and Karin?" Sean said nothing. His tongue was faint and his mind had a hard time digesting what Clarissa had just said.

"Yes, Karin and I have known each other for a long time. However, it looks like your ex-wife doesn't recognize me." Sighs for a moment, then continues, "I can understand why he didn't recognize me because five years ago the doctor had surgery on my face due to an accident. My face was broken because it hit the rocks before it fell into the river."

"How do you know Karin? Then what's the motive for him trapping you until you conceive a child out of wedlock?" sean asked softly, almost inaudible.

"I know Karin because she's a cousin of my classmate. I met several times when I went to Karmila's house to do schoolwork. From there, Karin and I knew each other until a day of disaster came upon me. An event that was the beginning of the destruction of my life in this world." Then, Clarissa began to tell the story five years ago.

When Karmila's birthday party takes place, Karin rushes to ask the lover who is none other than a new employee at the estate owned by Clarissa's parents. The man worked with Karin to dredge all the wealth of Clarissa's parents who were plantation owners in West Java.

"Honey, quickly you approach Jeni and snatch the chastity of the ugly girl. I want tonight all our plans to go smoothly without any failure" Karin said when she met her boyfriend Soni.

Highlight Soni's eyes show doubt when Karin asks him to bed Clarissa There is an uncomfortable feeling when it comes to touching other women besides her beloved.

"But what if she's pregnant? Do I have to marry her? Then, if I marry that girl what about the continuation of our relationship, Rin? I don't want to break up with you." Soni still seemed hesitant, carrying out the task given to her.

Karin touched Soni's shoulder. A pair of brown irises stared fixedly at the man's brown bead. "We can still get in touch behind that stupid girl. Come on, Son, use Jeni's weakness to dredge up her Papa fortune. I'm sure he couldn't possibly be suspicious because his love for you was so great." The girl still persuaded the lover to melt and obey his orders.

Several times Karin came to the plantation under the pretext of buying fresh vegetables and fruits on the plantation owned by papa Clarissa, she found a cupu girl with an unattractive appearance stealing the eyes of her lover. From there he began to suspect that Clarissa was putting her heart on the lover.

Soni let out a long breath while closing her eyes. "OKAY. I'll obey your orders as long as our relationship continues." Without wasting any time, the man rushed a vertical drink that had been laced with the damn medicine then caught up with Clarissa who had first entered the guest room.

The hands are perfectly clenched to reveal the smooth muscles in the back of the hand. Sean is so angry after hearing Clarissa and Karin's past.

"Lucky in the accident, Jack's parents found me by the riverbank. They took me to the puskesmas and took care of me. However, due to economic constraints they gave up because they couldn't take me to the hospital to get me intensive care."

"But .. again and again God showed his power until I was met by someone who was kind-hearted and willing to bear the cost of my care until healed. Not only that, but that person raised me to be the son of his family." Clarissa's eyeballs grew increasingly teary as her memory recollections lost their way back five years ago. Feeling lucky because God brought him to Belinda and Alvin, his adoptive parents.

"Then, why would Karin get a picture of you with a different man?" Sean was still asking some questions that came to his mind.

"I'm sure your ex-wife got the pictures from one of the targets I once exposed her rottenness. He was vengeful and used that evidence to attack me."

Increasingly Sean's head heard Clarissa mention the word 'target' on the sidelines of their conversation. The temple felt twitching so tight that it almost made his head want to break.

Clarissa smiled faintly even barely noticeable. "I was forced to be an actor to avenge my heartache, Sean. I want to teach a lesson to those who are unfaithful to their partners."

"Am I in it?" ask Sean full of probes.

Clarissa nodded her head quickly. Not wanting to hide any secrets from her beloved husband. "However, as time went on I began to realize that I had fallen in love with your charm, Sean. The sincere love that you gave was able to tear down the defensive fortifications that I had built up long ago. I ... love you. I-i-"

"God! Don't say anything more! I don't care about your past. The most important thing to me right now is you. Let your past be the bitter memories you keep tight." Sean immediately carried Clarissa's body in an embrace. He held her close as if he were afraid that his wife would leave him forever. "I'm sorry I doubted you. I'm sorry, dear."
