Chapter 76 - From Now On You Stay Home!

Arriving at Oscar's house, Lisa was greeted by Mrs. Rusminah. "Miss Lisa, Mr. Oscar is back, he's waiting for you on the second floor!"

'Oscar's back? When did he come back?'

Lisa was confused for a moment. Wasn't her husband currently out of town? When did that man come? Lisa took off her shoes and put them in the corner of the living room along with other shoes. She walked towards the stairs when suddenly Mrs. Rusminah said, "Miss! Looks like Mr. Oscar is not feeling well. Don't fight again, okay? Talk to him slowly!"

Lisa nodded then continued her steps. Mrs. Rusminah had been interfering in her household affairs with Oscar recently. She really didn't like Mrs. Rusminah's attitude who tried to advise her on how she should face Oscar. However, since Lisa didn't want to make a big fuss, she chose to ignore Mrs. Rusminah.

Lisa went up to the second floor with mixed feelings in her heart. Especially after Mrs. Rusminah told her that Oscar was not looking good. So she thought that the man must have become more sensitive and irritated than usual.

Lisa slowly turned the doorknob and pushed open the door. She entered and saw the figure of a tall man standing in front of the window, staring blankly outside the white curtain.

This was the first time Lisa saw her husband smoking. The strong aroma of tobacco smoke that filled her room irritated Lisa's smell. She almost got nauseous when she smelled cigarette smoke in the room.

Oscar could hear Lisa's light footsteps from where he was standing. The man turned and looked at Lisa. He inhaled his cigarette deeply and exhaled.

The man put out his cigarette which only remained a quarter on the ashtray and closed the window of their room. "How's your day? Are you satisfied playing with your new boyfriend?"

Lisa looked at her husband with a confused face. "What do you mean playing around!? Don't you play with your ex-girlfriend!"

"Don't dodge my question! I know you were escorted by a man in a black Mercedes, just like two weeks ago! You truly are a shameless woman! Going out with an unknown guy with a bulging belly like this? What kind of woman are you Lisa!?"

"How do you know Rangga escorted me!?" Lisa asked suspiciously.

"Oh you finally confessed?" Oscar sharply replied.

Oscar's clear blue eyes exchanged glances with Lisa's gleaming dark eyes. The man lowered his head to be level with Lisa's height. A spark of jealousy flashed in the golden haired man's eyes.

"I have told you many times, Rangga is my childhood friend! The two of us have nothing to do with anything other than being friends! We haven't seen each other for a long time!" Lisa snapped irritably.

Oscar did not believe Lisa's words at all. He crossed his arms and leaned against the wall, staring fiercely at Lisa. "You think I'll believe in all your lies Lisa!?"

"Rangga is just a friend, Oscar! We are childhood friends!" Lisa's patience almost ran out, the woman grabbed one of the flower vases in the room and threw it on the floor until it broke into pieces. No matter how much Lisa explained that Rangga was her friend and that there was no relationship between them, Oscar would not trust Lisa.

"Oh now you like playing rough huh? Since everything in this house is yours too, you can break my mom's favorite flower vase just like that!?" Oscar walked over to Lisa and pushed her tiny body down.

The man looked at the figure of the woman who had fallen on the floor with a look of anger, hatred and jealousy. He was ready to release his rage mercilessly on his wife if he saw it fit and necessary.

"Starting tomorrow, before the child in your womb is born, I will not allow you to work and leave this house!" Oscar snapped.

Lisa glared at her husband with passionate anger. "How dare you forbid me! I am your wife! Not a prisoner!"

"Precisely. It's because I am your husband that you have to comply with all of my order! This is an order! Don't you dare disobey, you don't know how lucky you are!"

"Oscar you are a crazy man! How dare you limit my rights as a human! I don't understand your way of thinking! While I'm at home and cooped up, you can go around playing with your ex-girlfriend Clara, is that what you mean!?"

"What do you know about Clara!? How do you know about Clara? Answer my question Lisa!" Oscar asked in a booming voice. The man's patience was running thin, he threw one of the decorations in the room until it broke into pieces.

"That bitch came and approached me in this house! In your house! Then humiliate me in front of all your company employees Oscar! Are you satisfied!?"

Lisa took this golden opportunity to defend herself. All this time, she had been hiding how she knew Clara whenever her husband asked. Now when her patience was running out, Lisa wouldn't just sit there. She took out everything she knew about Clara, how that bitch harassed her in the office and ruined Oscar and Lisa's marriage that she had been painstakingly keeping as a secret.

Soon, Lisa would lose her job and she must stay at home as a housewife. Lisa was very unhappy to hear this fact.

"Oscar," Lisa said sharply. "Let's end our marriage. I know you love Clara more than I. After this kid's born, let's settle our business together in court!"

"I have no place in your heart. I should have rejected your marriage proposal at that time and aborted my pregnancy! I'm so stupid Oscar, so far you've only used me," Lisa continued.

Oscar listened to the woman intently. His anger slowly subsided. The man was really weird. If that man didn't love Lisa, why did he insist on locking Lisa, forbidding her from leaving the house and telling her to be a housewife?

Oscar was speechless. Tonight, he lost. He paused for a moment before finally leaving the room. "Tomorrow, don't let me see your face in the office again. It's also good for the office to know that you are my wife. So you have to stop working and stay at home like a housewife!"

"And one more," the man continued his sentence, "You can't go anywhere without my permission!"

"You can't do this to me Oscar! You have no right to take away my freedom!" Lisa snapped from afar.

Oscar ignored Lisa's words. The man went out of the room and walked away leaving Lisa alone with the loneliness and the harsh reality.

Lisa really wanted to chase after that man and finish their fight. But she was too tired to run, not to mention that she was pregnant right now. She gave up and threw herself on the bed roughly. A loud cry echoed through the bedroom not long after that.

Tonight, Lisa slept alone accompanied by silence.. What a sad night for her.
