TRAUMA LOVE
#8
The end of a cold year, making Rhys sleep a bit long, especially last night he was drunk. He closed his eyes when he realized that there was a light coming in between the curtains.
Rhys massaged his painful temple. He remembered what he did last night. The cold air suddenly felt so piercing his skin. He saw himself and found that he was not wearing his sleeping pajamas.
Plain! That's what he sees now. He did not wear any clothes. He looked next to her and found a woman he strongly believed was Eve.
“Eve ...,” call Rhys by touching the woman's shoulder that looks open.
Eve, who had been awake since, pretended to still close her eyes. He opened his eyes and twisted his body.
“Honey ...,” says Eve.
“What was last night we ..?”
“Hmm .. we did it last night, honey. Don't you remember it? Though you are very great, dear,” praise Eve.
Rhys doesn't remember anything. He drank too much alcohol last night to make him really drunk.
“M-forgive me, honey. I should have taken care of you,” said Rhys who regretted what he did. Dad Dave always reminded him that he would never ruin a woman if they were not already tied up in a marriage. Rhys held to that principle.
But what has he done? He did it with Eve, but they were not married. He felt sorry for not being able to look after Eve san instead damaged her.
“I'm fine, as long as you marry me soon,” said Eve.
“I promise. I'll marry you as soon as I divorce her. I won't delay any more. Even you can prepare it from now on if you want.”
“Really, honey?” ask Eve enthusiastically.
“Of course. You can choose any place, theme, and anything you want. I'll according.”
“Thank you, honey,” Eve kissed Rhys' lips, then instantly got up and went inside the bathroom. She had to clean up and start planning her wedding.
Rhys rubbed off the blanket he was using. He found a red mark on the bed. Now he has no doubt, he did it with Eve last night. At least he did it with the woman he loved, she thought.

At the dining table, Eve's face looks radiant. He has succeeded in carrying out his plan. Just a little more and she could become the Mistress of the Alban Family. When that time comes, he will begin expelling one-to-one members of the Alban Family.
“We'll be married soon!” the word Eve suddenly, made Uncle Ronald and Aunty Anna speechless for a moment. While Celine who was not far from there, heard those words.
“Soon? What does Rhys mean?” ask Aunty Anna.
Rhys looked towards Eve. He saw the happy look on his girlfriend's face. Actually he did not want to say this because he has not finished his business about the legacy of Dad Dave. However, he also did not want to disappoint Eve if she said no.
“Yes, I'll marry Eve soon. I'll start preparing from now on and when the time comes, I'll divorce the woman.”

It hurts! Celine's heart hurts again. He is not considered, not recognized, and now he will be divorced. He doesn't understand what Rhys really wants.
You are evil, Rhys. - Inner Celine.

“You're getting married?” ask Eve's manager named Lila.
“Ya, how? You must be happy with this happy news, right?”
“What's up? Is there a problem?” eve asked a little suspiciously because of the change in look on Lila's face.
“There is a Company that wants to offer you a contract of cooperation. This is a big company you've been waiting for,” Lila said.
“Do not say that it is a NewMont Company?”
“True, NewMont. Haven't you been after him for a long time?” ask Lila.
“Yes, of course. I want that project, La.”
“Tak is that easy too. Although they asked for you, but they also held a casting earlier. They will still do the selection and there are several other models besides you.”
“Can't! This project should be mine. Do whatever, la. I'm the one who should be their model,” orders Eve.
“Alright, I'll work on it,” said Lila.

Inside Rhys's study, he kept thinking. How can he divorce Celine sooner, so that he can soon marry Eve, the woman he loves.
“Finn, do you have any way that I can divorce Celine right away?”
“For the moment there is no. Besides, don't you feel sorry for her?” tanya Finn, who is Rhys' best friend.
“Poor? He will take 50% of the property of the Alban Family. Why do I feel sorry for her!? Do you think I'm crazy?”
Finn breathed slowly. He is not inexhaustible with the attitude of Rhys who really hates Celine, even though the girl does not know anything about the letter written by Dad Dave.
“He didn't know about it, Rhys. Isn't that Dad Dave's request?”
“Yes, it was indeed Dad Dave's request and it was written very clearly in his letter greetings. But Dad Dave wrote that while he was alive. I'm pretty sure it was his personal assistant who instigated Dad Dave to get me married to his daughter.”
Finn could only shake his head. He didn't know how to explain to Rhys all that.
“Then, just wait 3 months. After that you get all your wishes. I think 3 months is not a long time,” Finn said.
“You're right! Just 2 months less, then everything will be mine,” Rhys said.

1 week, 2 weeks, missed …
It had been exactly 1 month of Celine's wedding and during that time she had been a servant at the Alban Family residence. He has no chance to get out of the house, even if only to meet Dad Harry.
Celine overhears the other servants talking, that Dad Harry sometimes likes to come to see her, but is always obstructed by security personnel on the grounds that he is away with Rhys for a business trip.
Alone, it was very painful for Celine. He who used to be overwhelmed with the love and affection and care of Dad Harry, began to feel lonely. He also misses the sound of children's laughter that he usually hears every day.
Now all he ever heard was this and that commandment, the insults, the mockery, even the swearing that came out of the residents of the house of the Alban Family.
Snow falls more often at the beginning of the month at the end of this year. The cold air is getting more and more piercing the skin. End of year holidays are starting to come faster.
Hoekkk …
