THE TORTURED WIFE
Confused and Crying
Alex took Lara on a leisurely jog along the highway. He wanted to feel like an ordinary person and live a normal life like everyone else.
Along the way Alex keeps hold of Lara's hand. He smiled at the person who greeted him. Alex now wants to change and forget all his grudges. He wants to start a happy new life without his vengeance. Alex and Lara sit in a chicken porridge shop for breakfast.
"Darling you want chicken porridge with what topping?"ask Alex.
"Wear chicken milk and fried meatballs" said Lara.
"Okay, what do you want to drink?"ask Alex.
"I want a sweet warm tea" Lara said.
"I ordered ya" Alex said.
Alex stood up to the cashier to order and pay for the chicken porridge. While he was standing in front of the cashier, outside the store there were two small children dressed in ragged camping asking for donations. The owner of the shop scolded them.
"Hey I'll leave my shop, make my customers disgusted" said the owner.
Hearing that Alex approached them.
"Your brother shouldn't be acting that way to a child" Alex said.
"They can make my shop visitors not buy because they are disgusted to see them" said the store owner.
"What did you say?..I can even buy this store, with your arrogant voice I make sure this store will be closed if you are still arrogant" Alex said with a cold and scary look.
The shopkeeper was terrified just looking at Alex's gaze. From his pocket Alex took out his wallet and gave all his money to the little boy.
"Buy anything to fill your stomach, but don't buy this ass" Alex said.
"Thank you, my sister is hungry but I don't have any money, wish there was leftovers for us" the boy said.
Alex smiles at the boy, they leave the tavern after getting money from Alex.
Lara stands behind Alex, seeing what Alex has done for the boy.She sees Alex starting to change, but her heart cannot stop the grudge that must be avenged by him.
"Alex, let's have breakfast somewhere else" Lara said.
"Yes dear" Alex said.
They both left the chicken shop. Alex invites Lara to breakfast with a chicken porridge carrying a cart. They had breakfast together while looking at the car and the motorbike.

Dianka was sitting at the edge of the pool. William came to her with a box of chocolates and flowers. She smiled at William who approached her.
"This dianka is for you" William said giving her a flower and a box of chocolates.
"Brown, you know I love this chocolate" Dianka said.
"What I don't know about you" William said.
"Do you want breakfast? I cooked for you" said Dianka.
"I want another breakfast first" William said.
William pulls Dianka and kisses her cheek.
Cup..........
The kiss landed on Dianka's cheek, and Dianka was shocked by the sudden kiss.
"Dianka let's have breakfast, I'm hungry baby" William said.
Dianka was surprised when William called her dear. His hand was held by William and invited into the dining room with him. William and Dianka start breakfast.
He was curious about the bread that must be on William's plate every day.
"William, why should there be bread on your plate every day?"ask Dianka.
"You forgot Dianka, this bread reminds me of you" William said.
"A hungry little boy who was given bread by a beautiful princess" William said.
Dianka was confused by William's remark about the little boy and the princess.
"Dianka darling you don't have to be confused, but we have breakfast" William said.
After breakfast, William immediately carried Dianka back to his room.
"William, put me down. Shame to be seen by your servants" said Dianka.
"Why should I be ashamed? they know you're my queen in this house" William said.
William carried Dianka to his room.
Until William laid Dianka in bed.
"Dianka dear I want to make you mine soon" William said as he looked at Dianka's pretty face.
"William, I.." said Dianka.
William's index finger closed Dianka's lips until Dianka stopped her speech.
"Dianka dear I don't want to hear your rejection, let me wait even if you want to marry me long" William said.
Willian removed his index finger from Dianka's lips,
then get out of Dianka's room.
"Alex, should I marry William while I'm pregnant with your child. What if this baby is in danger?"said Dianka.
"I miss you Alex even though you hurt my heart a lot, but I can never hate you before. My love never changes for you" Dianka said as she shed her tears.

Lara meets Ricard at Kejora Park. It turned out that Ricard was waiting for him in the park seat. Lara approached Ricard and sat down beside him. They started the conversation.
"Ricard I know you've been with Alex for a long time and must know Dianka" Lara said.
"What do you want to know about me Miss Lara?"ask Ricard.
"What was my relationship with Dianka that we both fell prey to Alex?"ask Lara.
"Don't you know yet, Dianka is Giorgio's real son" Ricard said.
"What?....." said Lara shocked to hear Ricard's words.
"I don't know what the story will look like until you and Dianka can switch places, but Giorgio's real son is Dianka and you're not Giorgio's son" Ricard said.
"So I...I'm not Giorgio's son?"said Lara.
"Yes right" Ricard said.
"Alex's behavior to me has been misguided.
It should have been Dianka who received all this suffering I felt, why did it all turn out this way?"lara said while crying.
"I have to leave immediately, if there's anything you want to know again, call me again" Ricard said.
Ricard stood up and walked away from Lara.
Lara was still sitting in the chair crying. All the humiliation he got was just misdirected.
"Why do I have to go through all this? what wrong?
hiccup.hik....Alex deserves he's been nice to me lately hik...hik.
hicc..hik....If I am the son of Giorgio, perhaps until now you are still torturing me hik...hik....hik...your kindness is because of your guilt not because you love me hik.....I hate you Alex hik...hik...hik...you did not change because of your love for me but because your guilt for me hik....hik....."lara said while crying.
His body was limp and powerless hearing all these truths. All the burdens were placed on his shoulders until he could not lift them.
