WIFE CONTRACT DEBT REDEEMER
Give me a job!
Slowly I began to open these eyes that still felt heavy, my body felt as if it was boneless. I felt really weak, which is what I always felt after Henry had challenged me in the way he always did. There is no tenderness, let alone love. Will I be able to hold on as long as the contract is not over yet? I closed these two eyes tightly, a tear from my eyes. Recalling what happened last night.
Why should I bear the blame of my father and brother? Why should I? It still feels like a dream if I have to end up like this, being the contract wife of Henry Bastian Campbell. Not a wife, rather a slave and a prisoner. Yeah, I'm a slave and a prisoner of Henry Bastian Campbell. Our marriage is just a cover so that what Henry did to me is legal.
I sobbed in tears, regretting my fate and regretting what had happened to me. Not wanting to be considered weak by crying in front of the man who was still asleep as if without sin next to me, I tried to get out of bed even with a weak body. My footsteps limped towards the bathroom, the pain in the center of my body again felt every time I showed my feet to walk.
I frowned at the pain as the water in the shower began to flow through my body. The cruel man in the guise of the husband gave many marks on almost every part of my body. Under the water running over me, I cried. I overflow my feelings completely so that this chest does not feel tight because it has to bear a heavy burden.
I have to get up, I can't keep going like this. I'm gonna figure out a way that Henry can give me freedom. That man can't keep acting like a bitch by locking me up in this house, a mansion that to me is like a prison. Living aimlessly in a golden cage, that's how I feel right now. That's why I have to get up, at least my life doesn't just depend on that cruel man anymore. I must have a job so that I can stand on my own two feet, and if my freedom had arrived, I would have a better purpose in life than having to live without the direction and purpose that I am today.
“Give me a job,” I said firmly to the man sitting on the edge of the bed.
Henry snorted, he smiled cynically turned to look at me who had just come out of the bathroom clad in a bathrobe.
“What?? Did I not hear wrong?” Henry smiled cynically, quite surprised by what I just told him.
“No, I want to have a busy life other than just being the wife of your impingement in this house,” I firmly once again with expressionless courage to look at her.
“You tried to negotiate with me, Angelina? Tell me what reason I should grant your wish?” Henry stood his face closer to me who did not budge in the slightest as his blue bead of eyes stared intently at me.
“First, I will never bother you with any woman, like your model lover. Second, in our contract agreement there is no prohibition for the second party to work and seek busyness as long as it is still within the scope of the first party. So, I still have the right to get a job as my busy life as long as I still comply with the contents of the contract agreement,” explained with a voice quite loud.
“How good! I didn't think you were a smart enough woman, Angelina Louis. I thought you were a spoiled girl who could only squander your father's money. But now, you apparently want a freedom on the grounds of work?” Henry touched my face to get closer and closer to her, “Are you sure you can survive if I give you a hard job you might never have imagined before, Angelina?” Henry raised a slight corner of his lips as if his gaze this time looked like it was underestimating me.
“Do you doubt my abilities, Henry Bastian Campbell?” I challenged him with a confident attitude.
Henry laughed, but I didn't budge in the slightest in front of him.
“Alright, Angelina. Let's see how hard you'll try to survive later. I will prepare a job that is appropriate for you in my company. However, surely you will continue to be in my control!” henry said with emphasis, “Prepare yourself, and remember not to make the slightest act that violates the contents of our contract agreement! If not, can I make sure you get a severe punishment from me!” After uttering the threatening phrase, Henry entered the bathroom with the sound of the door being deliberately closed by him.
The day that awaited finally came, as Henry promised me that time to give me a job at his big company, Campbell Corporation. A large company engaged in the largest IT in New York City, even entered from the top ten IT companies around the world.
As I expected if the ruthless man gave me the lowest position in the company, which was as an intern at Campbell Corporation. It doesn't matter to me that the man gave me any job even if it was just a company staff. Because the most important thing for me is that I can go out to seek my own freedom even though it's still within the scope of Henry Bastian Campbell.
“Include all, she is a new intern working on our team, Angelina Louis.” Nickollas Franklyn, a team leader, introduced me to his team.
“Good morning. I'm Angelina Louis, who will start working today. Kindly guidance the seniors all, thank you.” I gave my best smile to everyone who now looked at me with a full glance.
“Wah, very pretty. Are you married, Miss. Louis?” cuss a staff man at me.
“Sorry, I happen to be single,” I answered the lie kept smiling as best I could in front of all those who seemed to notice me.
“Wah, what a coincidence!” the man replied with excitement.
“Don't tell me if you want to tease our junior staff, Stephen!” sahut someone chimed in.
The sound of laughter started to sound, making some of them chuckle with their wails.
“That's enough! Continue your work, do not make the noise, it will be a problem if it reaches Mr. Henry Campbell coming.” Nickollas turned to me, “Get to work, Angelina. Your partner, Sandra will give you a briefing on what you have to do,” command authoritative Nickollas.
“Good, thank you, Sir.” I smiled with excitement.
“Good, if you're having trouble don't hesitate to ask me.” The blonde sand-haired man commented a smile, before leaving me who was about to start working as an intern at my own husband's company.
Who knows, though, if I was the wife of their CEO, Henry Bastian Campbell. According to what is written in the contract, if outside the house we do not know each other. Not even the whole world knows if the CEO of Campbell Corporation is now married, even though the marriage is just a contract marriage.
