The Successor of the President
Episodes 17.

Hanna wanted to relax in the wooden gazebo, she stepped slowly towards the back garden. David continues to follow her without Hanna's knowledge.

"Raline," said David.

Hanna turned to look at David with a little awkward, fortunately she did not forget if she was disguised as Raline.

"What's wrong?" ask Hanna.

"Can we talk for a second?" David asked back.

"Yes, just talk!" hanna Pinta.

"Don't be here!"

"Why?"

David wiggled around, then looked back at Hanna, "I don't want anyone to hear our conversation."

Hanna was confused, she was suspicious. Looks like David is covering something up, Hanna gets curious.

"So where is it?" Hanna wants to find out, she decides to follow David's will.

"That's it!" David pointed at a room near the stairs.

"All right."

Hanna and David step closer to the room, along with a housekeeper named Minah who comes out of the kitchen and catches them.

"That Miss Raline and Mr. David, why would they go in there?" minah muttered as she saw Hanna and David enter the room.

"I have to report," said Minah, she hurriedly went upstairs.

In a cubicle that was none other than Alden's father's study, David closed the door after they entered.

Hanna was aghast and a little anxious, "Why did you close the door?"

"I told you, I'm afraid someone's hearing our conversation."

"Then say what you want to talk about!" hanna was impatient, she didn't want to linger in the room with David.

David looked at Hanna who was standing right in front of him, "Why do you secretly stay married to Alden?"

Hanna nodded, "What's the matter?"

"Raline, don't you know that I've been loving you all this time? Why did you break my heart?" david's fawning emotions, he's upset that Alden and Hanna are having a marriage without his knowledge, he even knows it from the maids in this house.

Hanna was stunned, not twenty-four hours had she been in this mansion, but she had already heard something shocking. David still loves Raline.

Waitaminute! Still been? Do they ever have a relationship in the past so David still keeps the taste of the woman named Raline? Does Alden know all this?

Hanna was suddenly nervous and shocked, she was confused about how to reply and respond to David's words. He knew nothing, but he could not ask.

"I-i ...."

Hanna was getting more confused, she couldn't think well at the moment.

"What should I say?" hanna was confused.

"Raline, why are you quiet? Speak up!" David was about to touch Hanna's arm, but quickly the woman dodged.

"I don't think there's anything we need to talk about anymore, now I'm somebody's wife and don't bother me!" hanna replied, she thinks maybe this is the right answer and hopefully David will stop intimidating her.

Unexcused, Hanna opened the door and hurriedly walked out of the room, leaving David glued to her wistfully.

"Raline, wait! Raline!" David tries to stop Hanna from leaving, but the woman doesn't bother him at all.

Hanna who came out of the room was shocked when she saw Cindy already standing up while scaling, the middle-aged woman's eyes were very cynical. Apparently Minah who is none other than Cindy's personal aide reported what she saw earlier to the employer.

"What are you doing inside with my son?" ask Cindy without further ado.

"You ask your son! Don't ask me!" reply Hanna ketus, then pass Cindy just like that.

Cindy's emotions start to get hooked, but she's trying to control herself.

"Fucking woman! The braver he is!" mad at Cindy, she rushed into the room.

"What are you doing with that woman?" sergeant Cindy.

David who was sitting on the sofa did not answer, he knew his mother would be angry if she knew he was still chasing Raline and could not move on from the woman.

"David, how many times do you have to say? Forget about him and throw away your feelings! Now that she's Alden's wife, that means she's also our enemy!" cindy's murmur was irritated.

David looked at the mother in annoyance, "It's not that easy, Ma! I can't forget her, I can't accept she's married to Alden, because up to this point I still love her."

"Enough David! Mama doesn't like you constantly like this, you have to move on and focus on our goal of getting into this family! If we've managed to take it all, you're free to choose whichever woman you want" hardik Cindy is angry. He was worried about his stupid son and was too stubborn.

"I'm just talking to Mama!" David passes away, upset that Cindy always forces him to forget his first love and forbids her from taking Raline back from Alden. All the mother thought about was her possessions instead of her feelings and happiness.

Cindy exhaled heavily, every time she talked about Raline, she and David must have had a fight like this. Cindy wondered, why is the only son of the puppet that is very difficult to move on from Raline? Their relationship ended almost three years ago.

Cindy did not like Raline from the beginning, so she opposed and damaged the relationship with the woman. But it seems like God still wants to test his patience, because a few months after he married Alden's father, the woman actually appeared again as a lover of the child.

But Cindy never expected that David still loved Raline until this moment, repeatedly her son wanted to take Raline from Alden, but she always forbade and threatened the son. And that's what makes David hide when he wants to meet and talk to Raline.

While inside the room, Hanna was glued to the side of the bed, she observed Alden's slumbering face. Hanna's heart was suddenly upset and restless, still worried between wanting to tell her about it or not.

"So she knew not yet that her step-sister loved her ex?"

"But he didn't tell me anything, doesn't he know yet?"

"I told you no, huh? But if he doesn't know yet, he might get angry and have a fight." Hanna began to wonder and weigh in. He wanted to tell Alden everything, but he was scared.
