Chapter 247 - Bye Bye Freedom

"Are you sure you will get off here, Ma'am?" the taxi driver asked Viona, he was confused when they arrived in a private area owned by Fernando Gray Willan.

"Yes, Sir, this is the money," Viona answered with a smile as she handed the money to the driver.

"But, this is a private area owned by a wealthy businessman named Mr. Fernando Gray Willan, are you sure you get to the right address, Ma'am? As far as I know, there is only one big house belonging to Mr. Fernando and no other house in this area," said the taxi driver again, he was trying to confirm to Viona whether her destination was right or wrong. He was afraid that Viona would get into trouble if she was found lurking in Fernando's private area.

"Yes, I know this is a private area owned by a businessman. Don't worry, Sir. I came here because I have an appointment here. There's a beautiful lake located there, I plan to go to the lake with my other friends," Viona lied to the driver to get rid of his suspicion.

"Oh, thank goodness, I thought you want to come into the private area owned by this businessman. I hear that if someone tries to enter Mr. Fernando's private area, that person will be jailed. Luckily you are here because you have another agenda with your friends. Then, take care of yourself, Miss. I'll go now," said the taxi driver with a smile, the taxi soon left the area.

Viona only smiled broadly at the words of the taxi driver, she did not expect that many people feared Fernando just like the taxi driver who had escorted her earlier.

"I'd better get back soon, if Fernando doesn't find me at home he might snap right away and I would never have the chance to sneak out like this again," Viona said softly as she tried to find the secret door that was previously shown by Mrs. Lily.

"That's the tunnel," Viona screamed with joy when she saw the secret passage that connected to Fernando's wine cellar.

Without waiting long, she immediately opened the tunnel door that was not too heavy, she then entered under it through the stairs that were already attached to the wall. Because the sunlight could come through it, the tunnel didn't look damp like the other tunnel. But, Viona could see there were some spiders around it. After convincing herself, she walked down the tunnels to the secret door in Fernando's wine cellar which was beside the main house.

Crack

The secret door in Fernando's wine cellar opened because Viona pushed her from below, she peeked around to make sure no one was in the cellar. When she had confirmed that there was no one in Fernando's warehouse, she got out quickly and closed the secret door carefully so that no one would be suspicious.

"Luckily the door wasn't closed by this table leg," Viona said softly while looking at a rather heavy table right next to the secret door underneath.

"What are you doing here, Madam?" asked a female servant in shock when she saw Viona in the wine cellar where Viona shouldn't have visited.

"Oh…Um I just want to see some of my husband's wine collection," she replied quickly, trying to cover up her shock.

"Oh, I understand, Madam, but you don't have to come to a dirty place like this. I don't want to be scolded by Mr. Fernando. Let's get out of here Madam, looks like the master will be back soon," said the female servant in a trembling tone, fear could be seen emitting from her body as she tried to get Viona out of the warehouse. 

Because she didn't want to make the servant suspicious, Viona came out of the cellar with a bottle of wine on her left hand without seeing what year the wine was made. While carrying the wine bottle in her hand, Viona walked towards the mansion through the side door with the servant behind her who was also following her steps.

"What are you holding, Babe?" asked a man in a loud voice, Viona was very familiar with that voice.

"Hi…Look what I've found!" Viona replied with a big laugh by lifting a bottle into the air to show it to the man who had just asked her and that man was none other than her husband, Fernando.

"Where did you get this?" Fernando asked back while looking at the bottle Viona had brought.

"From the warehouse, I purposely looked for it for you," Viona answered as naturally as possible so that Fernando would not be suspicious of her.

"Did you pick it up by yourself at the warehouse?" Fernando said in disbelief.

Viona nodded her head in response to her husband's words, a smile started to appear on her face and Fernando glared at the servant who was standing behind Viona. Realizing that Fernando would be angry with the servant, she suddenly stretched her hands into the air when Fernando walked over to the servant who was already scared behind Viona.

"Carry me!" she said with a spoiling tone while swinging her hands.

Fernando, who was holding a wine bottle, almost dropped it when he saw Viona's spoiled attitude he had just seen.

"Come on, carry me!!!" Viona screamed again when Fernando did not obey her order.

Hearing Viona's scream made Fernando finally come to his senses, he then handed the wine bottle in his hand to the servant who was standing beside his wife all this time. With a quick move, he then carried Viona in the bridal style into the house.

Viona burst out laughing when Fernando was carrying her. She also put both her hands around Fernando's neck so that her face could be closer to her husband's face.

'Luckily, I didn't carry a bag,' Viona said to herself.

"Why are you suddenly so spoiled like this?" Fernando asked, he was a little suspicious when he saw Viona's attitude that had changed compared to this morning. Before this, she also didn't like to show their intimacy in public.

"What's wrong with that? Besides, I asked my own husband to carry me home, if you don't want to carry me, just put me down here and I can walk myself into the house," Viona replied curtly.

Fernando laughed then exploded when he heard Viona's words, he lifted Viona higher and kissed her face repeatedly in front of the servant.

"I like it when you are being spoiled like this, it excites me more," Fernando whispered softly into Viona's ear.

"Ah…Don't talk like that here!!" Viona felt irritated as she hit Fernando slowly on the chest.

Fernando laughed again when he saw Viona sulking's face, when he was about to enter the house he suddenly turned towards the servant who was carrying a bottle of wine with a cold gaze.

"From now on, lock the warehouse so that no one can enter there except the maid on duty, I don't want to see my wife set foot there again," Fernando said aloud.

"Noooo…Don't do that!" Viona shouted loudly.

"Why, Babe?" Fernando asked. He was confused with her exaggerated expression.

"I mean…It's just…I…"

"If I want some wine, I can ask the servant to get it for me. You don't have to go all the way there to get the bottle yourself. I don't want this to happen again, you understand what I'm saying, right?" Fernando said quickly, cutting off Viona's words.

"Well, that means I can't sneak out again," she said accidentally.

"What did you just say, Babe?" Fernando asked with a rising voice.
