Don't Say Love (BOOK 2)
Chapter 9

Arnetta stepped slowly down the hospital hallway. This afternoon after his body had recovered well, he decided to visit his mother. The treatment that Jullian had given him was already considered to be the last wind. Although his heart was sore, but he had to endure. Arnetta was sure that after this there might be other unexpected torments that Jullian would commit.

He should have been able to fight, right?

Yeah, he should have done it. However, his mother needed money for his recovery. For that, he was willing to destroy his body for the safety of Ratih, the mother. That woman was all he had in this world right now.

Let's just say what happened to him was a thank you for the man's help to his mother. Seeing how the mother had been moved into the intensive room, Arnetta was able to breathe a sigh of relief. He has enjoyed his life so far. Now it remains him who must try, even though his body is destroyed.

Arnetta took a deep breath upon arrival in front of the door of Ratih's nursery. He can't show the look on his face that worries his mother. The most important thing right now is the recovery of the mother. That's his priority right now.

Slowly, he also opened the mother's outpatient door which immediately displayed the figure of a woman lying on a hospital bed. His head facing the window had already given him the answer to what his mother was currently doing. Ratih had woken up from his sleep. Now, it was Arnetta's turn to welcome him well.

"Mother ..."

From his movements, Arnetta knew that Ratih had not really fallen asleep. Seen a moment later the middle-aged woman turned her head towards him. The smile did not forget to show his mother from her tired face.

"Have you come, son?"

Arnetta walked up to her mother. How deeply troubled as a child was to see his mother lying weak, while he could do nothing. It felt like Arnetta had replaced that position with him. Let her be the one who is sick as long as her mother is okay.

"I'll always come, Mom." Rogue.

Ratih raised his hand to touch Arnetta's face gently. Although it is difficult to do so, he still wants to touch his only child. However, his smile faded when he realized something was wrong on that face.

"Why this?" He said as his hand rubbed one corner of Arnetta's lips with dried blood there. When his hand touched her, Arnetta grimaced.

Immediately, the woman kept her mother's hand away from her face. He could not tell the truth about the wound. Her mother would have suffered so much if she had known what happened to her last night. "It's okay. Just hurt at work, Mom."

Ratih did not immediately believe what Arnetta said. Long ago, when his daughter lied about her job as a nightclub waitress, she could read the moves from him. Now the same thing is repeated again to make his mind anxious.

"I hope that's not the reason for your lies, Neeta."

Arnetta shook his head weakly while smiling. Even if he knew his mother was reading his shield, he would never speak the truth. However, he could not tell his mother the truth about last night's incident. It's too fatal a result if until his mother finds out that last night ...

Ah, No!

It was already his duty to repay Jullian's kindness. The man deserved to treat him that way, because he owed a lot. If it wasn't for Jullian, Arnetta would have never seen his mother breathe again. As long as the man was willing to pay for it, Arnetta would do anything. Yeah, anything as long as his mom stays by his side.

"Mom, hold on for Arnetta. Arnetta loves her mom. Just the mother that Arnetta had. If anything happens to me, Arnetta has no reason to live in this world." His speech was raucous, which he believed would not be heard by Ratih, because the middle-aged woman had already fallen asleep in her layover.

***

The pair of dark diamonds were looking at the frail figure who was walking towards his house. His slow steps seemed to show how bad the woman's condition was. Unlike other normal women, Arnetta who she knew had just visited her mother walked away. I don't know if it's because the woman went far enough or because of her treatment last night.

Still fresh in his memory burst of happy feelings as they expressed feelings to each other within the ring. For the first time Jullian admitted that falling in love is beautiful. It makes her body feel like she is reborn. The pseudo-feeling that he should not have felt in the past had blinded his senses.

"Sir, Miss Arnetta is back."

The voice of aunt Maria coming from behind her back jolted her shadow about the woman. He was unable to move his body. He knew the old woman had been watching him since he saw Arnetta's return. It's just that Jullian is too prestige to show pain when considering the events of five years ago.

"If you asked me what I thought of what happened first, I would say the same thing. To me Arnetta is a fine woman." Quietly said. Maria may be the only person who doesn't believe the evidence that Lusi provided at the time, given how happy Jullian and the woman were while dating together. He saw for himself how the woman felt towards her master.

"No good woman will open her legs to any man." Jullian ketus. He immediately turned around and raised his chin high.

"Tell him to wait in his 'special' room. It's time he worked for me."

Maria was no longer surprised. He just nodded his head slowly. As loud as he expressed in his foster care, Jullian would remain in his position until he saw it with his own eyes and head. Maria simply did not want her Lord to regret his decision later, because the time that had passed could not turn back.

***

Arnetta sat restlessly on her bed. He tightly connected his cold fingers. After last night, this was the first time he had ever met Jullian again. An old woman had just said that Jullian asked her to wait here, in a room that bore silent witness to the pain she was in. Imagining the events of last night makes Arnetta can only smile wryly. No one could imagine being in his position. The figure that he thought would help him wholeheartedly, turned out to still ask for rewards. Yes, he should have stuck to the principle that nothing is free in this world.

Just like everyone else, Jullian wanted a reward for his kindness to lend him money.

"My dog is thinking."

The baritone's voice instantly jerked Arnetta's body. The woman immediately lowered her head after meeting the gaze with a sinister face belonging to Jullian in an instant. Somehow her determination to look back at that face shrieked after hearing the tone of innuendo from him. His body almost retreated until it finally held back the trembling.

Jullian walked towards Arnetta who was silent on the bed while looking down. He loved seeing this woman helpless. People who dare to hurt their feelings should be punished severely. For him Arnetta does not deserve to destroy his feelings. A poor woman who is willing to do anything for money even if she sells her body, is nothing but trash to her.

"So, what about last night? Do you understand your work to pay for all your debts to me?" Ketus.

Arnetta's fingers tethered tighter and tighter until her knuckles turned white. The woman held her teeth trembling in her mouth. Suddenly his body shivered at the voice of Jullian standing before him.

"I-I-I've already understood."

Jullian grinned broadly realizing the woman's fear. I don't know where the figure who was trying hard this morning told me that she had been raped. He thought, Jullian would feel pity. No, Jullian already knows this woman's bad temper.

'GREB'

Jullian pulled Arnetta's chin to look at her. He also noticed the wound that was still lodged in the corner of the woman's lips. He was sure he would never pity this woman. The person who had destroyed his feelings. His reflection behind a pair of black diamonds that look at him with a look of fear will not affect him in the least. He did not want Arnetta to return to master it and give it a chance to hurt his heart again.

"If you understand, I'll remind you of your position in this house. You're inferior to my employees, my servants, even my pets. You're just the woman who's gonna open your crotch for me. If you dare to fight me, then I will destroy you and your mother. And, if I find you pregnant, then I'll be the first one to kill that fetus. You gotit?"

Both of the women's eyes were hot. Fucking tears that came out of nowhere managed to blur his eyes on that face. He knew his life was not even more precious than a pet's bin in Jullian's eyes. He could not choose his own life. It had been his decision from the beginning, that he would become this boy for the safety of his mother. Even though he had to live as if he was dead.
