The Revenge of the President
Chapter 14 Alexa go

The Santara residence.

Bagas was still pondering, as the door of his study reopened.

"What are you thinking?" Fira peeked at her husband's shoulder.

"I'm just confused, how to persuade Alexa."

"What if we tell her where her mother is?" Fira turns to sit on the lap of the husband. What he used to do when he was his personal secretary.

"I actually, don't want him to leave. He's been my only successor."

"I knew. But we have to keep him going. The deal with Dave, it's very profitable for the company. It won't be long, not a year."

"Fir." Bagas took a breath, looking at the wife. "What all this time, you've never been sincere to my daughter?"

"You mean?" Fira stared intently, not accepting the husband's words. "If I'm not sincere, why did I raise her all this time. I even accept, she doesn't call me mother."

Fira got up, left her husband upset.

Goddamnit! I will not let your daughter be heir. I'm the one who'll take all yours.

Bagas sighed, buttoning back his shirt, which had been released because of the actions of the wife. Grabbing her phone, dialing the contact number of someone she's never been in contact with, for the past ten years. Whether the number was an active mash or not, he was just trying to make sure.

"Hello."

The woman's voice answered across the street. Twenty years ago, he never changed his phone number.

"I ...." Bagas was nervous, for a long time he had not heard the voice of the ex-wife. "It's me" he said briefly.

"What's wrong?"

"It's about our daughter."

"What's up, with him? Is he sick?"

A panicked voice rang out, upon hearing Bagas' speech.

"He's fine. He just misses you."

"Hiks... I miss him too. I want to hug my daughter. All this time, I refrained from seeing him. Maybe right now, he hates me."

"I'm sorry, Tania. I destroyed our family" said Bagas, who was full of regrets. "Alex doesn't hate you, he just hates his father. Now, we're like strangers. Do you want to talk to him?"

"Are you sure? It's been a long time, I haven't heard her voice. He's an adult, maybe we'll feel awkward."

"Don't turn off your phone. I'll give it to you."

Bagas out of the room, walking towards his daughter's room on the same floor.

"Alex."

The man opened the room because there was no law. Alexa just lies down and does nothing.

"What's wrong?" answer with laziness.

"Your mother, she wants to talk."

Bagas gave me his phone.

"Mother?" Alexa got up, looked at the father without receiving the phone. "Which mother?"

"Your birth mother."

"Haha...." Alexa laughs. "Birth mother? Haha... Am I dreaming? It's been 20 years, you didn't let me hear her voice and now, you're saying my mom wants to talk."

"Alex, Papa seriously, take this. Your mother wants to talk."

"Why so suddenly?" Alex still hasn't taken his dad's phone. "Just because I don't want to go, you guys use my mom. You think I don't know."

The loud voice was heard again, instead of being happy, the news of the mother made her emotions explode again.

"This, has nothing to do," cried Bagas who was tired of facing the princess' anger. "He just wants to talk, because he misses you."

"Oh, isn't this a coincidence!" Alexa grabbed that phone. "Just keep trying, please that woman. All right, you guys make another baby, my poor brother's replacement."

Alexa flicked her hand, driving the father away without a sound. Until the sound of the door closing. Alexa turned off dad's phone, switched to his phone. Pressing the same number.

"What's up, Mom. Didn't we just talk last night?"

"Hahaha, you are. I'm just serving your father. When are you coming?"

"Tomorrow. I've prepared everything."

"Good, you are my daughter. Don't leave it, for them."

"I understand."

Alexa is back lying down, it's fun to play like this. Pretending to be stupid and not knowing anything. He just needs to take what is his and the mother's.

I don't know who asked the father to send him out of the country. But, he was able to take advantage of this situation, to launch his plan all along.

Alexa took the eye drops in a nightstand, dripping slightly, letting it flow down. Then he went to see his father with still wet tears.

In the workspace, Bagas was still waiting in the company of his wife, who already knew the plan of the husband.

The door opened, the couple looked at Alexa who was walking in weakly. Scents of sadness, visible from his face that is still filled with tears.

"I'm leaving tomorrow" he said, returning his father's phone.

"Quick that? What did your mother say?"

Hid. I want to destroy that face!

"Alright, Papa will arrange it for you. You stay with him for a year."

Alexa nodded, without refuting. Still sobbing, looking down, as if hiding his face full of sadness.

"I'm going to the room, Pa. I'll get my stuff ready."

Alexa exited the room, closing the door slowly. Then, go back to the room. Lock the room, then lay down his body.

"Well, if I have to cry." Taking out a tissue, removing her wet face.

"Huh, I have to prepare some stuff, for Arshila."

Alexa took her phone. "Hello, lawyer sir."

"Yes, Miss."

"What's the transfer of all shares, it's done?"

"Already, Miss. Everything's all done."

"good. What about the certificate I gave you?"

"Everything changed its name. You've also signed it, unsuspecting."

"Good, I love your work. Tomorrow at the airport, bring all the documents, without exception. I'll transfer the money tomorrow."

"Good, Miss. Thank you." Thank you."

Alexa hangs up the phone, switches to dialing Nessa's aunt's contact number.

"Hello, Auntie."

"What's up, baby?"

"I'll be gone tomorrow. About Auntie's men, is it possible to hold back information as long as I'm gone."

"Of course."

"Alright, Tan. Thank you." Thank you."

Alexa closed her phone again, lying on the bed lazily.

***

Next day.

At eight in the morning, Alexa is ready. His big bag and suitcase were already in the trunk of the car. He hugged his father before leaving. Then, turn on the arms of her stepmother.

"You must be happy, I'm gone?" Alexa whispered in Fira's ear.

"Of course."

"Before we part, what if I go see Dave?"

Alexa broke her embrace, staring with a smile, the face of the stepmother whose eyes were burning, holding back emotions.

"I'm leaving, dad, Auntie."

Smiling mockingly at Fira.

You fucking girl!

Finally, the car slowly exited the gate of the house. Along the way, Alexa just plays her phone. After an hour of travel, Alexa arrived at the airport. He was welcomed by two lawyers, Aunt Nessa and Arshila.

"Sister, Shi, Aunt."

Alexa hugged them in turns.

"Miss, here's the document you requested."

Two lawyers approached, then handed over a large map.

"Thank you, sir. But, can you keep this a secret, as long as I'm gone."

"Of course, Miss. Don't worry, we've arranged everything."

"Well, I'll transfer the money and wait for the good news from me."

Thank you, Miss. Excuse me, give our regards to the great madam."

They left, leaving behind Alexa, Arshila and Aunt Nessa. All three, walking into the airport, while pushing a suitcase.

"Sister Shi, I'm leaving. Sorry, can't be with you. Accept this." Alexa gave me a small bag.

"What is this, Lex?"

"In case. I've been gone a long time. But, if there's anything call me."

"Auntie, I'm sorry I left you. Please, take care of Shi."

Alexa hugs Aunt Nessa, whispering something Arshila doesn't hear. Aunt Nessa simply nodded, before letting go of her embrace.

"Bye, bye. I'm leaving!"

Arshila hang in there, sorry if I got you involved. One day, I'll tell you everything.
