TRAUMA LOVE
#13
“Remember, take good care of our child,” Rhys message on Eve. Rhys personally delivered Eve to the airport.
“I will always remember it. I love you,” said Eve who then kissed Rhys' lips.
“I love you too.”
Rhys looked towards Eve until the woman disappeared from his sight, then he turned around.
“Finn, we're home now,” Rhys reused his sunglasses and walked out of the airport.
The end of the year Rhys actually wants to relax and spend his time with Eve. However, the woman left because of work.
“Rhys, Mr. Davin would like to meet you.”
“Seek him to the house only. I'll meet him in my study.”
“Good.”

At the Alban family residence, Aunty Anna cheered happily as Eve left. Although the woman will be back, but at least now she can focus on getting Celine out of the house.
Aunty Anna also regrets Eve's departure because she can no longer put drugs into Eve's milk. But, he will do it again when Eve comes back later.
Aunty Anna walked over to Celine who was cleaning the kitchen. He violently pulled her and took her to the backyard.
“Quickly clear all this snow, disturb my view only!” yell Aunty Anna.
“T-but ..”
“No buts, fast!”
Celine cleans the back garden by clearing out some of the piled snow. The low temperature and the air were so cold, it made Celine shiver.
“That's you, why do you keep following. Fight!” alice said, who was behind him.
“Al ..”
“At least wear this sweater. I don't want you to freeze to death.”
“Thank you, Al,” says Celine.
“I tell you one more time, don't be weak. If you need my help, say so. I will help you,” Alice said with a smile. Celine nodded too.
After finishing cleaning the backyard, Aunty Anna again pulled Celine and told her to go inside the library.
“I want you to clean this library. And remember! There can't be a dusty book!” aunty Anna's orders.
This time, Celine did not argue. He considers that everything he is going through now is because of his mistake. He gets too carried away when Dad Harry says Rhys will marry him. Even he did not ask clearly why Rhys married her, even though Rhys had long forgotten her.
Celine began cleaning the chairs and tables, then she switched on the shelves containing books. He took out all the books, then wiped the shelves. He even checked every cover of the book and wiped it if it was dusty. If he sees the title of his book interesting, he opens it and reads it for a while.
He was in the library for more than 2 hours. He didn't go out for lunch because he would definitely be again scolded by Aunty Anna, so he held her back.
As she continued cleaning, Celine heard a man's voice from the direction of the study. The workspace is right next to the library and is only used by Rhys. No one dared to go inside.
Celine came down a ladder that was used as a foothold to pick up a book that was in high position. He approached the connecting door made of wood.
In the workspace,
“How long is it?” ask Rhys who wants to ensure the length of the marriage agreement.
“1 months 5 days,” replied Uncle Davin, Alban Family lawyer.
“After 3 months, I will directly receive all assets belonging to the Alban Family right?” ask Rhys again.
“Yes, according to the letter given by Mr. Dave, then all assets belonging to the Alban Family will be yours after you have marriage with Celine for 3 months.”
“Then, Uncle can prepare my divorce papers. I want when fitting 3 months 1 day, I have separated from the woman.”
“You sure, Rhys?”
“Very sure! I don't love her and I just love Eve. It is only my instrument to gain full power over all assets belonging to the Alban Family. After all, why could Dad give such a condition? Totally unreasonable terms,” Rhys said.
“Have you not been on good terms with him? Even I saw for myself you were very close to him.”
“Don't make me laugh, Uncle. I wouldn't want to be around a woman like that. If it wasn't for Dad's terms to own the Alban Family's assets, then I would never have married him. It's like hell to me.”
“Do you have no taste at all to her?” ask Uncle Davin.
“I don't know, but it doesn't feel. I just love Eve and only Eve will be my wife and mother of my children.”
Inside the library, Celine held onto her chest which felt so painful. The new reality and truth he learned from stealing the talk between Rhys and someone called Uncle by Rhys, made Celine feel even more meaningless in Rhys' life.

Celine's bedroom, on the 3rd floor, became a place to stay and introspect. Is there any action that hurt others until they get karma?
Dad, would Dad be angry and embarrassed if he had a daughter who failed in marriage? I'm just being made into a doll here, does Dad know? - Celine squeezed her own clothes in front of her chest, as if she was squeezing her heart out so much pain.
Celine's bedroom door opened slowly, the figure of Alice standing there. Celine quickly wiped the tears on her cheeks with her hands.
“Al, do you need anything?” ask Celine.
“No. It is precisely I who want to ask you, do you need something?”
“What do you mean?”
“Don't keep harboring what makes your heart hurt. Let go of everything and live happily. I as a woman don't want to see you suffer like this.”
“Al .. I'm just a doll here. I ... I need your help,” now Celine can no longer endure the pain and pain in her heart. It needs a place to pour it all out.
“Tell me, what you need. I will help you,” said Alice.
“I want a divorce.”
