The Shackles of Second Love
45

Sharon stared at an invitation card from Mahendra, the man invited her in person so that he could attend Mahendra's confirmation as the new director of the hospital.

Sharon did not understand why she was invited, as she remembered that she was not part of the hospital. He was only treated there as a regular patient in general.

He was not close to Mahendra either, but the man invited him as if they were familiar enough as friends.

“Then not come how?” Sharon asks Fabian and Laura for an opinion, which happens to be her daughter-in-law is at home.

Fabian smiled faintly while Laura chose to refrain from smiling.

“Mother should come, so that the effect of the mother appreciates Doctor Mahendra.” Fabian said.

“Moreover he invited Mother directly.” continued the man.

“But Mom is lazy to go, especially there is your Dad.” Sharon said with a depressed look.

“Lho— Dad invited too?” asked Fabian who did not know that his father was also among the people who got the invitation.

“Your father will never work with Rudi Sutanto, when you do not know?” obviously Sharon was astonished at Fabian.

Fabian frowned when he heard the name of one of the richest people in Indonesia in this conversation.

“Bu, why are you talking about Mr Rudi? Indeed what does it have to do with the hospital that will be led by Mahendra?” Fabian revealed his confusion which made Sharon sigh instantly.

“Mahendra is his son Rudi Sutanto, he is indeed a little different from his brother who is in the mining business world like his father.” Sharon clearly makes Fabian and Laura amazed.

They thought Mahendra was just an ordinary doctor, but the man still had a close relationship with the famous Sutanto family.

“Mother why know about doctor Mahendra?” asked Laura curiously.

Sharon turned her face as Laura stared in full probing at her, “Mom also just found out after finding out about her on the internet.” Sharon replied flatly.

“It turns out that Mr. Doctor is not from an ordinary family ya—” mumbled Fabian.

When compared to Hartono, it is clear that the wealth of the Sutanto family is much greater. They have almost mastered some of the important industries in the country.

Especially after the divorce, Hartono's wealth was divided into two. Because part of Hartono's property has rights that the man must give to Sharon. Because both of them built up wealth from the beginning of the marriage.

**

Tonight Mia will accompany Hartono to go to a big event. He heard it was an event held by the Sutanto family.

Mia knows the family because her name is often published in business newspapers and reported by some media on television.

They are clearly a distinguished and wealthy family.

Not wanting to embarrass her lover, Mia uses the services of a makeup artist and a fashion stylist. She doesn't want to look different from most high-class women.

Although she is not a woman from the upper class like Sharon, but she must be good at mingling with them so as not to look striking differences between them.

“Do I look stunning?” Mia asked the mirror about her appearance.

The man who had drenched her to such an extent had gone home, so that in this room only she was left.

Mia is afraid that if she seems mediocre, she wants her appearance to attract the attention of everyone including Hartono.

While Mia was still busy looking in the mirror, Hartono walked into the woman's room. And the man was surprised to see Mia's current appearance.

Her favorite woman is really beautiful and shining, she even fears for herself that Mia can captivate other men at the event later.

“Honey, you're too amazing.” Hartono touched Mia's waist and hugged the woman's body loosely.

“What if someone likes you besides me?” hartono asked Mia to let out a small laugh.

“Although there are other men who like me, but there will never be anyone who can match you in captivating my heart.” Mia replied with a flimsy smile that added to the beauty of the woman to be more lively.

Hartono smiled faintly at her, he was happy to be the only man who inhabited Mia's heart.

The man kisses behind Mia's ear, “I won't let you off at the show later.” the whisper is asductive.

“The sight of your eyes should only be on me.”

..

As Hartono guessed, Mia was the most beautiful and charming in this event.whether she had to feel proud or even upset when many pairs of eyes looked at Mia.

Not even a few who openly invite to meet Mia, which of course will be rejected outright by Hartono.

The man rubbed Mia's arm possessively, as if he was asserting to every person who looked at his woman, that Mia was his.

Everyone should know that Mia belongs, and those people should be willing to keep their eyes on her.

“We meet again.”

Hartono was shocked when the man he met at the flower shop owned by his daughter-in-law's friend greeted him this time.

“You're the one in the flower shop right?” ask Hartono to make sure and Mahendra without hesitation agreed.

“Include, I'm Mahendra Sutanto.” Mahendra reached out his hand to invite Hartono to shake hands.

Hartono could not hide his surprised look when he heard the man's name.

“Don't tell me you had this show?” asked Hartono while accepting the man's hand job.

Mahendra smiled faintly then glanced at Mia at a glance before answering Hartono's question with an honest answer.

Hartono really did not expect that the man he met a few days ago was the second child of Rudi Sutanto.

“This is your wife?” tanya Mahendra refers to the whereabouts of Mia.

Mahendra knows that Hartono is Sharon's ex-husband, but he does not know that Hartono apparently has a replacement for his ex-wife.

“Yes, she's my wife.” replied Hartono making Mia's heart more flowery.

Though Mia had thought that Hartono would only introduce himself as a lover, but Hartono instead admitted himself as the wife of the man.

Mahendra nodded briefly, then looked back at Mia with a look that the woman could not digest.

“Beautiful,” Mahendra said but his eyes were not on Mia.

“Thank you.” Mia answered without hesitation. Mia thought that compliment was for her.

Hearing that Mahendra was immediately surprised, “Sorry, I mean the woman is beautiful once.” he said while staring at the entrance.

Mia and Hartono then turned their bodies back, and both were surprised to see the appearance of Sharon who seemed to shine with her silver dress.

Seeing Sharon's arrival made Mahendra rush to greet the woman. The man approached Sharon and invited her to join Hartono and Mia.

“Sharon,” Hartono said softly without turning his eyes away from the former. While Mia who realized that felt her chest start to heat up from jealousy.

Why would Sharon have to show up and take all the attention she's been given?
