Chapter 128 - The Contract Letter

Hearing Fernando's words made Justin feel like he was struck by lightning in broad daylight, he could only stand still staring at Fernando, who was still drinking a bottle of liquor with a very high alcohol content. 

"Please prepare my divorce documents tomorrow morning, so I can give it to the traitor," said Fernando, looking down. 

"What do you mean, sir? I don't understand," Justin asked as he walked towards where Fernando sat. 

"I want to divorce Viona as soon as possible, Justin!!!! As soon as possible ... ... aarrggghhhh!" Fernando shouted emotionally. He threw the bottle of liquor in front of him against the wall. 

Justin smiled at Fernando's words. He knew that his boss was under the influence of liquor, therefore Justin didn't care what Fernando said. He then asked for help from other bodyguards to help him carry Fernando out of the VIP room of the bar. 

Justin paid double what Fernando was supposed to pay, including the damage Fernando had done in the VIP room earlier. He then took Fernando to his apartment, because he knew that Fernando was fighting with Viona, so he wanted to try to cool Fernando's explosive emotions. 

In the morning, Viona woke up when she felt the urge to pee. But when she started to open her eyes and tried to get up, her whole body ached. Because she could no longer stand it, with all her strength, she forced herself to go to the bathroom immediately. After peeing, she sat in front of the mirror in the bathroom. She looked at her reflection through the mirror. There were bruises all over her body including her face, which was still blue. 

"I can't go to work in this condition," Viona said to herself, as she felt her face turning blue from being hit by Fernando many times. 

She finally chose to compress her bruise using ice cubes from the refrigerator in her room. She painstakingly compressed the bruises on her body, especially on her arms and waist which had been hit by Fernando's kicks. 

After compressing her wounds, Viona immediately walked to her room to send a message to Nurse Tina that she couldn't work that day. Afterwards, she took a shower. She couldn't keep wearing a torn nightgown. When she got out of the bathroom, Viona was suddenly surprised by the presence of Fernando in their room. He was already sitting on the sofa, staring at Viona. Viona, who had changed clothes, did not reveal any wounds on her body. She walked slowly to the bed to find her cell phone. 

"Do you want to ask for help from the police or my brother, Frank huhhh???" asked Fernando to Viona coldly. 

"I don't want to find trouble this early, because I know when I tell you the truth, you won't believe me," Viona replied quietly. 

"The truth about this you mean?!!!" said Fernando quickly, as he threw the ring box that Frank gave to the bed where Viona was sitting. 

Viona, who was curious, reached the box that Fernando threw. She suddenly remembered the gift given by Professor Frank yesterday when she was going home before meeting Andrew. "This ..." 

"Why are you surprised? I can find the ring that Frank gave to you. Have you been that far?" Fernando said, cutting off Viona's words.

"I know you definitely want to divorce me soon, so you can live with Frank, right? Don't expect that, Viona. I won't divorce you so quickly before you feel the revenge I will give for your betrayal," added Fernando with a look of hatred. 

The warm gaze from Fernando that Viona used to feel has disappeared, now all Viona could feel was the chill that emanated from Fernando that showed tremendous hatred for her. 

After saying that, Fernando then left his room without turning his head. Meanwhile, Viona could only sit there, staring at the ring box given by Professor Frank that was on the bed. 

"What's your purpose in giving me the ring, Frank?" Viona said in her heart. Suddenly her cell phone rang. Viona grabbed her cell phone that was on the nightstand. Viona received a message sent by Andrew. She lazily read the message. 

Andrew: "I'm sorry if I made you angry yesterday, Viona." 

Viona: "No, it's okay." 

Andrew: "Can I pick you up again today?" 

Thump! 

Viona's heart beats faster when reading the last message sent by Andrew. She remembered the beginning of her fight last night with Fernando. The conversation between her and Andrew was revealed in the park. 

Andrew: "Are we no longer friends, Vio?" 

Viona: "We both are married, it would be better if we don't go out too often. I don't want to make people assume things if they see you and I often hang out together. I appreciate my husband's feelings, Andrew."

Drrttttt 

After Viona sent her last message to Andrew, she turned off her cell phone and kept it in the drawer of the nightstand. 

"I'm sorry, Andrew, I don't want to make my problem with Fernando even worse," Viona said softly, as she felt her aching waist. 

Because she was hungry, Viona finally went down to the first floor where the dining room was. As she walked to the dining table, Viona never thought that she would still see Fernando at home. 

"Madame, can I talk to you for a moment?" said Justin, calling Viona, who was about to turn to the second floor again. 

"What is it, Justin?" Viona asked, trying to smile. The bruises on her cheeks couldn't be seen because she had covered them with foundation. 

"This is a contract letter that you must read, Madame," Justin replied, as he put a file on the table for Viona. 

"A contract letter?" said Viona, confused. 

"Yes, our marriage contract letter," said Fernando, smiling slyly at Viona. 

"What do you mean?" Viona asked, stammered.

"You can read it all later, but I will explain just a little outline. As long as you are still married to me, you are prohibited from having relationships with other men, or close male friends. You may not interfere in my business, including if I brought a woman home because I decided I would not touch you, a woman who has been touched by Frank!!! I am very disgusted to have to share the same feminine fluid with Frank," Fernando replied in a loud voice. 

Viona, who heard Fernando's words, immediately became silent. Instantly, her appetite disappeared. 

"And one more thing, during the marriage contract with me, we have to still look fine in front of the public. I don't want my image in society to be destroyed because I have to say goodbye to you, especially since our wedding party was declared the most luxurious wedding party at the end of this year," Fernando quickly added.

"And this is your credit card, Madam. You can use the money as much as you like because the card is unlimited." Justin said, ending Fernando. 

After saying all that, Fernando invited Justin to go to the office, leaving Viona destroyed. 

"This is a prison not a marriage," Viona said silently looking at Fernando who was going away with Justin. 

Viona then grabbed her contract letter. Her hands shook as she opened one page after another in the folder. Viona's tears slowly rolled down her cheeks and finally dropped the contract letter that was on her lap. 

"The hurt because your beating is not as painful as the heartache you created, Fernando," Viona sobbed softly.
