The Shackles of Second Love
Chapter 02

In addition to failing as a husband, Hartono also failed as a father. He acted as the head of the household, but it seemed that the title was not appropriate for him.

He can only rule without being able to set an example. He is also not warm to make his son and wife so comfortable to be around him.

Hartono is too stiff.Sometimes such personality makes people feel reluctant even to just chat.

Like his wife who prefers to drift in his own world, or his son who is too busy preparing to become an heir. Sometimes it makes them feel lonely.

And Hartono should start to improve himself by trying to improve the harmony of his household. It doesn't make things worse by cheating.

How else would you like? He is completely made to fall in love with Mia, a sweet rabbit-type young woman who asks to be protected and loved wholeheartedly.

“You can say if you do not like the interior for some space in this apartment, then I will change it.”

Mia is stunned by the sighting of the contents of her new apartment. All the arrangement of furniture, wall colors and other components are so fitting according to him.

At first Mia thought that the residence in question Hartono was a house in an ordinary housing. But who would have thought the residence in question is a luxury apartment in an elite area.

Mia rolled her eyes to look at Hartono, the doubtful look that made the man confused.

“Is this okay?” mia asked very slowly. “This place is too good for me.” he said then looked down.

Although the relationship has been established for more than two months, Mia still can not freely act in front of Hartono. It was like there was a thick wall confining itself to the man.

Hartono could only sigh at Mia's words just now. He said what he gave the woman was not excessive.

“You are my current woman. You deserve all the best facilities from me.” replied Hartono.

The man then invited Mia to go back to look around the entire contents of the apartment until the two now stopped in the room.

“This is my room?” asked Mia while amazed. His room is currently 5 times better than his previous room.

Hartono did not reply, the man instead wrapped his arms around Mia from behind. He sniffed the area of the woman's neck to smell her kiss with the woman's scent.

“How? You like?” ask the man.

Mia involuntarily nodded her head quickly, “This really fits me.” she replied gently.

Mia smiled shyly, “Thank you very much.” whispered.

..

Hartono began to feel strange about himself. He is a man who is good at carrying himself. Smart to resist emotions and good enough in self-control.

But since meeting Mia, he started to lose all of it. He could not control his feelings and desires when he was close to the woman. Making him always want to unite himself with Mia until the two are completely satisfied.

He was sure he was not a maniac. But it turns out that having sex with Mia made him feel what an addiction is. He could not help himself, and fully allowed his instinctive desires to take on the role and control each of his limbs.

“Mia— you are so beautiful.” Mia was flattered to hear the compliment. Although the man praised himself while he was doing intercourse, but it did not reduce the slightest romantic vibe he felt.

“Eungh——”

Mia could not answer, her mouth could only let out sounds that instead aroused the fiery turmoil in the man's passion.

Meanwhile, Mia who is the receiving party can only surrender and enjoy every touch of the man. His body was completely consumed by this pleasure of intercourse, so it almost made his head explode.

Especially when Hartono increasingly accelerated his movement made himself unable to stop to rumble and sigh. The same is the case with the man who several times called his name with a reverent tone until the two reached the peak of pleasure simultaneously.

Hartono's eyes immediately opened as his ears caught a loud voice coming from his cell phone. He closed his eyes again to get rid of dizziness in the head because he woke up forcibly.

And after making sure if he was really conscious. His kiss was immediately treated to the smell of shampoo emanating from the hair of the woman who was currently asleep on top of her chest.

Although the ringing of her phone is quite loud, but apparently not immediately make Mia sleep disturbed. And it makes Hartono relieved because of the fear of the sound of his cell phone disturbing the sleep of his beloved.

With the movement made as smooth as possible, he grabbed the phone lying on the bedside nightstand. Trying to read who called him and it turns out that the man is Sharon, his own wife.

Not wanting to make his wife wonder which would make the woman suspicious. Hartono called the woman back.

“Sorry, I accidentally ignored a phone call from you.” he began to reason before Sharon asked for an explanation why she was late in answering a phone call from the woman.

“Where are you? I was in your office and you weren't there.” Sharon's reply surprised Hartono.

So overwhelmed by her togetherness with Mia, to the point of making her forget about time.

“Fabian says you left since morning.” Sharon said again.

Hartono forced his brain to look for a logical reason to give Sharon. It didn't take him long to find the right answer.

“I just finished meeting with Bramantyo. We discussed the problem of resorts in Lombok.” he said calmly.

Breathing could be heard from his phone call, he waited patiently for what Sharon would say next.

“I want to have lunch with you.” Sharon avenged Hartono's lies with a statement that stunned the man. For a long time, she did not invite him to lunch together.

Unknowingly the corners of his lips were attracted to form a thin smile.

“You want to wait for me for a few minutes? I will be there soon.” said Hartono who then answered the expression of Sharon's willingness to wait for him.

After finishing calling, Hartono only realized that Mia had opened both eyes. The woman even looked up at him while looking at him.

“My wife called.” said Hartono then kissed Mia on the forehead.

The woman gave a short nod, trying to ease the discomfort in her heart because the man called the word 'wife'.

“I have to go. Are you okay here alone?” asked the man with shady eyes.

It felt like Mia was starting to not know herself because she was a little unwilling if the man was going to leave her at this moment. But he can only hold it in his heart, because the fact is that the man is not his.

“I'm fine.” Mia replied with a smile that seemed forced.

Hartono smiled with relief at hearing that, he then began to release Mia's body which was originally in his arms. The man looked back at Mia deeply, then gently stroked the side of the woman's head.

“From now on, stay here.”

“Because this place will be a halfway house for me.”
