THE DAY BEFORE WEDDING

This afternoon, the sun looked so bright. Sunlight felt so hot. Lexi’s patience was starting to wane. He was mad cause he didn’t know where Jessica was.

Although, he tried to be patient. However, he was really curious where his mother was hiding Jessica.

Yeah, since finding out that his son snuck into Jessica’s room that night, Mrs. Anna decided to put Jessica’s in a secret place, out of Lexi could reach. That middle-aged woman didn’t want Lexi doing something with his lust to Jessica. No!

“Huft!” He sighed resentfully, his mind and heart always thought about Jessica. Every time he tried to focus on the reports and graphs on his laptop screen, Jessica’s shadow soon flashed through his mind.

“Arsene, do you really not know where Jessica is?” he asked. He was looking towards Arsene focused on checking the financial reports of the company’s branches.

“Lexi, you’re not kidding, are you? Next month we have to win the city park development project, we have to focus because our company will get a big profit if we win the project!” Arsene insisted without look to Lexi’s eyes.

“We will definitely win the project, I trust it on you!” Lexi said. “There are worse problems than that! I really need to meet Jessica!” he really wanted her so bad.

“Sir, there is a company from Singapore that is targeting the project, I just don’t want us to lose this project,” Arsene explained. Now, he must to be more focused because lately Lexi had often underestimated his work.

“I haven’t seen Jessica in two days! This is really bad!,” Lexi complained. He was holding his face with his right hand.

“Mr. Lexi Ricardo! You are no longer a teenager, tomorrow morning you can already meet Jessica! Be patient for a minute!” Arsene was being upset and shook his head. This time Lexi made his mood to be bad.

“Oh, you have never been me!” Lexi got up from his seat. He needed to leave from his stuffy workspace.

“Sir, I have already understood you very well, what you really don’t want to understand is that I still go to work on Saturdays!” Arsene protested. His boss was very selfish.

“Work on that report Monday! You can go home and attend my wedding tomorrow!” Lexi walked out of his office. I think he was very angry because he couldn’t meet Jessica.

“Sir, I’ll drive you home!” Arsene said. He moved ahead of Lexi into the elevator.

“No need!” Lexi refused, got in the elevator. He was standing next to Arsene who seemed to be looking at him.

“Tomorrow you will get married, Mrs. Anna will be very angry if I let you go home by yourself, Sir,” the secretary explained. When the elevator door opened Arsene continued to follow Lexi to the parking area.

“I don’t want to go home!” Lexi said as he stopped next to his car. He turned to see Arsene looking at him coldly.

“Alright, I’ll drive you wherever you go,” Arsene grabbed the car keys from Lexi’s hands. Then, he opened the door for him.

Lexi sat down. Then, Arsene sat behind the wheel. “Sir, where do you want to go?” Arsene found Lexi’s expression gloomy and angry.

Arsene drove his car out of the parking area slowly. “Mr. Lexi, during these two days you have always been grumpy over trifles! Even this morning you were angry that I was a minute late,” Arsene talked to him. He just wanted to know what his boss’s thinking. “Why do you get so angry so often?” Arsene asked.

“I don’t know either, I also feel like I’ve been grumpy a lot lately,” Lexi didn’t refuse what his secretary said. Actually, he remembered the incident this morning he was angry with the perfume bottle and towel that he accidentally dropped.

“Is it all because you can’t see Miss Jessica, Sir?” Arsene looked like investigate. He was not sure, but he wanted to find out.

Lexi didn’t answer.

“Correct me if I’m wrong, sir, is this all because you’ve fallen for that eighteen-year-old girl?” Arsene stole a glance into Lexi’s eyes really wanting to know what the man was feeling.

“Obviously, you are wrong! I don’t like Jessica much less falling in love with her! If I can’t wait to marry her soon, it’s because I really want her body, you know that right?” Lexi said with up tone voice. He was very sure that he couldn’t fall in love or put his heart on Jessica.

“If you are indeed not in love with Miss Jessica, then you must be patience, Sir! Don’t look like a teenager who wants to get married! Behave like an authoritative and charismatic heir to the Ricardo Group.” Arsene looked down in hope that Lexi was not offended by his words.

“You shouldn’t talk like that, Arsene! I’m like this because my whole body wants that girl! You got it!” Lexi tried to defend herself and justified his behavior.Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

“I am the closest person and always understand who you have been, is wanting her same as miss her?” Arsene narrowed his eyes waiting for an answer from his boss.

Lexi was on silent. He was not sure if he missed Jessica. All he knew is that he couldn’t wait to be Jessica’s husband.

“If you miss Miss Jessica, it means you are in love with her, Sir,” Arsene said, holding back his laughter.

Lexi leaned back, then looked at Arsene sharply. “I told you, I’m not in love with Jessica! I married her because she is the only one who could turn me on!” Lexi said obviously. Arsene’s laughter made him so upset.

“If you don’t fall in love and miss her, it means you can wait until tomorrow morning. Don’t angry because you don’t know where Miss Jessica is right now.” Arsene had won this debate.

There was a pause of ten seconds before Lexi finally answered. “I am not in love! I don’t miss her! If I’m grumpy maybe it’s because I don’t like my wedding on the countdown!” Lexi was pretending. He still refused to be attracted by Jessica. Furthermore he refused that he missed and fell in love with her.

“So, where are we going, Sir?” Arsene asked after arriving at the crossroads between the apartment and the main house.

“Go home!” Lexi answered.

“Yes, Sir!” The car turned right and would arrive at the main house soon.

For these two nights, Jessica spent the night at Chelsea’s house. Of course, with the approval of Mrs. Anna and there are two bodyguards who always guarded for her. Even so with Mr. Arman, the man was very supportive of his marriage to Lexi.

The clock showed 7:25 at night. The four people who were currently sitting in dining room had just finished their dinner.

“Jessica, tomorrow you will get married and become a wife, I have to say congratulation for you, and I wish you and Mr. Lexi will be a good couple,” Mr. Arman said to Jessica.

“Thank you,” Jessica answered quickly. She didn’t want to tell the real story behind the sudden marriage.

“Mr. Lexi is a kind and generous person. He’s smart and handsome. However, since his first wife died, he has become a more closed person! I’m so happy he’s going to open up and marry you Jessica!” Mr. Arman looked at Jessica while smiling at the girl. “He will definitely be a good husband, and a good father to your future children!”

“Thank you,” Jessica replied. She couldn’t possibly admit that her marriage to Lexi was just a contract marriage. It was as if she sold her body to a rich man just to be a bed-warming woman. Yes, Lexi married her not because she wanted to build a home. And it was not because Jessica chosen to be the mother of his future children. Rather it was simply chosen as a bed-warming woman, who would end up being a young widow after two years of marriage.

If Jessica had told all that to Mr. Arman and his family, they all definitely rejected Jessica’s marriage to Lexi. They didn’t wanted to allow Jessica to be married only as a lust please.

“Chelsea, take Jessica to the room. Jessica is getting married tomorrow, don’t sleep at late night!” Mrs. Yeni asked Chelsea to bring Jessica into bedroom.

Chelsea nodded her head, then invited Jessica inside.

“Hearing the word married, my mind is always on the first night after wedding? Jessica, have you prepared anything for it?” Chelsea asked. The two of them were lying next to each other, there was a thick fur blanket covering them.

“What do you mean Chelsea?” Jessica changed her sleeping position facing Chelsea.

“I’ll buy you nice lingerie, which is sexy lingerie” she said as she reached for her phone. Her thumb moved nimbly to open an e-commerce, and chose a sexy lingerie for her best friend.

“No need for that Chelsea, that widower will still be so excited to see me!” Jessica said. Her eyes turned sad. However, she still refrained from saying anything against Chelsea. Chelsea did not ask more. When it came to bed, she didn’t really understand.

“Emm-, have you told Beryl about your marriage, I think he needs to know,” Before the letter from Beryl got into Jessica, Chelsea had read the letter that Beryl left for Jessica.

“No! I don’t want him to be disturbed by the news of my wedding! After all, this wedding will be a secret wedding and not many people know,” Jessica explained.

There was a pause, both were silent and immersed in each other’s thoughts.

“Jessica you must be so happy tonight! Be so you will marry Mr. Lexi, he is a widower but he is very handsome and cool. I’m sure he’s very rich!” Chelsea said as she imagined herself in Jessica’s position. “You are so lucky, Jess!” she added.

“Well, I don’t know,” That was all that came out of Jessica’s mouth. Until this moment when remembering Lexi, she remembered the crazy man who suddenly kissed her in the rain. Yes, only crazy men did it in public places. And about Chelsea’s imagination of Lexi, it was overwhelming.
