The Revenge of the President
Chapter 41. Dave's Feelings

Inside the room, Dave slept on his back, closing his eyes with one hand over his head. Arshila's face flashed through her mind. Faces filled with tears, both eyes closed with resignation, as both of his hands choked tightly.

Dave sighed, what happened today was like it just happened, without him expecting it. He had no intention of hurting the woman again. After whipping him, Dave tries to suppress his anger and stay away from the woman. But Arshila's words, so provoked her anger.

How could her body be more valuable than Clarissa's life-suffering? What his heart was made of stone, letting his fiancee drenched in blood while pleading.

Tests.

Tests.

Tests.

Dave wiped his tears away, as he heard the sound of footsteps leading to his room. Brak! The door was slammed hard. He knew who would dare to do that in his home.

Rachel cursed first. Before discussing the core of the problem.

"Mama reminded you! If you regret it later, you'll drown you in the sea."

The mother just left, after advising fieryly.

Dave got up, sat down on the bed. A reflection of light, blinding the eyes. He approached a small, sparkling object, on the floor, just below the picture frame.

A wedding ring for Clarissa, but pinned on Arshila's ring finger. I don't know why, the size is so good.

"You're giving it back to him?" Holding the ring, he stood looking at the photo of his fiancee. "I've got your revenge on him, but why does my heart hurt." Dave held onto his chest, bowed with tears dripping down.

"I'm sorry, Cla. Sorry if I never thought of you again. My heart hurts to think of other women."

Tests.

Tests.

Tests.

Dave sat on the floor, clasping the wedding ring.

A year later, Dave was not thinking about Clarissa. His mind was filled with plans, to approach Arshila. Waiting for him to be released from prison, then launching his action.

Day by day, their closeness became more familiar. Dave has no qualms about landing a kiss, which inexplicably makes him opiate.

Whether he's in love or not, Dave keeps fighting his feelings. Only Clarissa's photos keep reminding her, which is why Dave's house is filled with Clarissa's photos.

Together with Arshila, it slowly eroded Clarissa's existence in her heart. But, every, staring at the photo of Dave's hateful fiancee reappears.

The phone rang, a message came in. He only read it at a glance, then a photo appeared, making him instantly rise up.

Arshila sat under a tree, with a man, smiling freely without burden. The photographer, who seemed to be deliberately not photographing Lin's mother, only appeared to be two lovebirds with a shy smile.

And there, Dave was in a fiery rage from before.

The wife smiled at the man she knew so well. Ellino Malvinderes, a business rival and former lover of Clarissa.

"I won't let you take my woman again."

She's mine! Only mine!

The laughter of Arshila and Ellino, seemed to pierce the chest to the heart. In fact, Lin's mother who was with them seemed invisible in Dave's eyes.

Both of his legs were so itchy, wanting to immediately run over them. Cheating in front of the eyes, making his nerves disturbed, such as breaking one by one strand of Dave's blood flow.

"Master, not now!" Secretary Tian, hold Dave's hand.

"Why? I have to teach them a lesson."

"Master, the new Miss wept and yesterday's wound still hasn't healed. Please, don't make it harder. Let him laugh today, I beg you!"

Dave threw away his face, and he eventually left, followed by Tian. They entered the hospital director's room, which was deliberately left by the owner of the room.

"How's the condition?" Dave sat on the couch.

Dave took a deep breath, twitching his pulsating temple.

"It seems, he already remembered Clarissa. He returned the wedding ring and placed it under the picture frame."

"Master," Tian bit his lips, doubt was dominating his mind at the moment.

Dave looked at him with furrowed brows, he of course knew, his current secretary, was confused to say something.

"So Lin's mother sent me a voice recording."

Tian handed over his phone.

"Mother Lin. This is the first time I've seen Clarissa's face. All this time, you guys must have thought me stupid, for getting into a tiger's den, taking my life." Arshila laughed blandly.

"Miss."

"It's no use, Mother Lin. It's too late, too late!"

Dave who was listening, looked at Tian asking for an explanation. He couldn't just trust the voice recording.

"Do we need to re-investigate, sir? Maybe we missed something."

"No need, everything is clear."

"But, ...."

"Tian, do you know why I strangled her today? Because that woman, she already remembered Clarissa. Without guilt he said, his body was more valuable to be exposed to rain water than Clarissa who was covered in blood. She was so busy she didn't help Clarissa who was begging to save our baby and she said that while laughing mocking me."

Tian digested the man's words in front of him. Quickly, Dave almost killed him. Just wait!!

"Master, I think he deliberately provoked you to kill him. You know very well, he repeatedly asked you to end his life."

"Ck!" Dave got up, stood his back to Tian. "Then, what about what he said to me? Obviously that was all he did back then!"

"What about the explanation of the witness at that time, did not we all listen to him. It's possible, Miss said it just to provoke it by adding a few sentences."

Dave turned his head, clucking his waist with a long sigh.

"We go back and call Nadia."

"Good, Sir."

Dave and Tian went out together. Instead of heading for the parking lot, Dave turned toward the hospital park behind, where Arshila was.

From afar, the previous scene was not much different. There was still Ellino there, even in front of them, there was already a table and books on it, as well as fruits. Looks like that fucking guy set it up, Dave said.

If only, Tian did not remind and prevent his steps, he would already be there rummaging through the thing that the man had brought.

Dave's eyes shifted to his wife, who was fond of reading books and letting the wind blow her face. Every now and then, the woman's eyes closed, as if enjoying a gust of wind. But, the next second, Arshila was seen wiping away her tears.

Dave immediately left, not wanting to linger, seeing the emotionally draining scene and breaking his conscience from the tears there.

Along the way, he kept thinking about the words of Tian and Arshila.

"Miss, please save my baby." Arshila grinned. "I'm busy."

Arshila's smiling face, after saying that without sin, made Dave drain his brain.

Maybe he did it intentionally? Are you so desperate?

Dave recalled, when the woman dropped the knife under her feet, it seemed, he had prepared everything, just waiting for my emotions to explode and kill him, Dave muttered while poking at the base of his nose.

From the front seat, Tian looked at him from the rearview mirror.

"Master, if Miss wasn't the culprit. What are you gonna do?"
