The Shackles of Second Love
Chapter 48

Sara had thought that Hartono was a man who was so loyal, but it turned out that he was wrong. He found out that Hartono had divorced his wife, and now the man was in a relationship with a younger woman.

“Tempting the man who had cheated on it should not be difficult.” said Sara.

“What are you talking about?” Haram asked his daughter.

Sara shook her head slowly with her Innocent face as usual, “No, Bu.”

“I just said that his wife Mr. Fabian is very beautiful.” Sara said lying.

Currently Sara is indeed watching Fabian who is giving a word of greeting to the guests accompanied by Laura. But honestly Sara's focus was still the same, which was staring at Hartono who was sitting next to Sharon.

It was obvious that Sharon harbored hatred for her ex-husband. Sara smiled looking at him, this is really an interesting spectacle.

“Bu, I heard uncle Hartono was having an affair.” Sara whispered in her mother's ear.

Haram who heard that then pinched Sara's arm hard, “No need to interfere in other people's affairs, Sara!”

“We came here solely for work, not to comment on the life stories of others.” Haram has told his daughter.

Haram does not understand why his daughter suddenly discussed the personal problems of her business colleagues. It's not something worth talking about, and anyway the issue has nothing to do with them, nor should Sara come to discuss this.

Sara did not care about her mother's warning, she came all the way here to satisfy her curiosity in the old man. He will not want to return to South Korea, if his wishes have not been fulfilled.

..

Hartono felt something strange about him when the inauguration of the hotel was over. The man looked confused and it caught the attention of Sharon who was sitting next to him.

“You why?” ask Sharon.

Although Hartono had already hurt her, but Sharon honestly still kept the attention of the man, because after all the two had lived together for decades.

Hartono turned to Sharon who somehow looked prettier this time than before.

“I don't know. My body feels uncomfortable.” replied Hartono.

The answer from the man made Sharon even more anxious, especially after seeing his forehead which started to sweat.

“You sick?” sharon asked without hiding her anxious look. Even now Sharon's hand had stuck to Hartono's forehead and wiped the man's sweat.

The beautiful face of his ex-wife is too close at this time, and somehow Hartono so want to kiss Sharon.

“Sharon, you are so beautiful.” he said unconsciously.

“What are you talking about?!” Sharon was annoyed and directly hit Hartono's arm.

Hartono felt his body getting hotter, and his heart was pounding with an abnormal rhythm. He does not know what is really happening to him.

But one thing is clear, the urge to touch his ex-wife feels even greater.

Seeing such an agitated Hartono, Sharon again made no heart. Then with his good intentions, Sharon brought Hartono to leave the hall.

“You were drunk or how?” sharon asked as she led Hartono's hand along the way.

“I do not drink anything other than mineral water provided by hotel staff.” Hartono replied confidently.

Meanwhile behind Hartono and Sharon was Sara who followed the two. The girl swore in annoyance because her plans changed not according to what she wanted.

“I should be able to take over,” Sara said as she quickened her footsteps.

“It is in vain that I give him a stimulant if it is not me who enjoys it.”

**

Sara is a smart girl and also a cunning one. He is manipulative and good at acting.

Sharon took Hartono to her room and locked her ex-husband in the bathroom. He was forced to do so because Hartono kept trying to touch his body.

Although the feeling of love is still there, but that does not mean Sharon wants her body touched by the man.

“What someone gave the medicine to Hartono?” asked Sharon who still did not understand the man's behavior earlier.

He was still sitting on the bed waiting for Hartono to calm down.Hartono's cell phone suddenly rang and showed Mia's name as the caller.

Sharon kept the phone quiet because it wasn't her landline. But the phone kept ringing to piss him off.

“If I lift later a new problem arises.” Sharon murmured while staring at Hartono's phone screen flatly.

He did not want to be involved in another sickening drama with Mia, so he decided to just silence the call from the woman.

“Sharon!”

Hartono pushed around the bathroom door from the inside while calling out the name of his ex-wife. Hearing that Sharon stood up and approached the door.

“You're getting sane?” ask Sharon.

“Ya, and I'm freezing now.” Hartono replied from within.

Sharon was silent for a moment, she was still hesitant to open the door for fear that Hartono would come back to attack her. But if he doesn't open the door soon, Hartono could get sick.

“Sharon!” Hartono called the woman back.

Sharon exhaled and then she opened the bathroom door to get Hartono out of there.

The man was soaking wet, perhaps as long as in the bathroom Hartono continued flushing himself with cold water.

“Kau—”

Sharon's words came to a halt as Hartono suddenly hugged the woman tightly.

“I'm really grateful to you, Sharon.”

..

Hartono returned to Jakarta earlier than Sharon and Fabian. He had missed Mia who had been constantly calling him.

When night fell, Hartono had also reached his penthouse. He immediately looked for the whereabouts of the woman who had not slept.

“Honey, why haven't you slept?” Hartono asked Mia who was sitting on the bed.

Hartono approached Mia and directly hugged the woman's body without noticing Mia's gloomy expression.

“I miss you so much and also our baby.” whispered the man while showering Mia's face with his kiss.

Mia fell silent without intending to reply to the words from Hartono. The woman was in a state of turmoil because she saw a photo of Hartono with Sharon sent by someone to her.

The photo of the cellphone camera shot shows the condition of Hartono being hugged by Sharon. The two were even seen entering the hotel room simultaneously.

Mia had been crying over the photos since then, and now the pain in her chest was getting worse when she saw Hartono's attitude as if he had done nothing wrong.

Hartono began to realize that Mia had been silent since his arrival, he then examined the beautiful face of his lover carefully.

“Why you?” harton asked when he realized that Mia was crying without a sound.

That fear and anxiety began to creep into Hartono's chest cavity. He had no idea what made Mia like that.

Mia looked at Hartono sharply, “Did you sleep with your ex-wife?” mia asked, making Hartono surprised.
