Don't Say Love (BOOK 2)
Chapter 25

"No! Our son is a child of rape. But, she'll have the highest dignity, because she's my son and you're his mother." His words were all his might, just like Arnetta, Jullian felt his strength instantly drain when saying the sentence. His strength seemed to be drained along with his heart that felt heavy.

"We're getting married, she'll be born as our son, Arnetta."

Arnetta was stunned at his spot. His tears flowed more and more as Jullian's words reached his brain. His heart suddenly slipped as if what Jullian had just said was capable of snatching his breath.

He hates. He doesn't like. The man easily decides what is important to him, after everything the man has done to him. Without a sincere apology, Jullian seemed to ensnare her like a prisoner. Where is the man's conscience?

"Fuck! Why don't you just kill me?" Desis Arnetta's. The woman did not care if the man would throw a punch like when he raped her first. He no longer cares. Arnetta really wants to be free. If death is able to free him, then Arnetta will plead.

Jullian flinched in his place. His gaze instantly sharpened and his eyes glow dimmed, replaced by darkness. His hand instantly caught the two weak hands that were now beating him with the rest of his strength. I think he's angry. Anger makes his back feel cold, but Jullian knows that his anger is not aimed at the woman in front of him. Except anger for himself.

Had he been able to do everything right, Arnetta would not have ended up like this. Experiencing the symptoms of pregnancy alone is certainly torturing him, let alone having to bear the mental burden of the presence of their prospective child which is the result of his depraved actions first.

"No! You can't die."

That was the only string of sentences that could come out of his lips. It was very painful when his heart and brain worked together well when the ears heard the heart-wrenching cry that Arnetta let out of his lips. That woman wants to die. To him who else in this world could he trust?

Jullian definitely wasn't the one on that list.

With a pair of big hands, cupped a tiny face that had been drenched in tears. Suddenly the man lost his strength and cupped the face very carefully as if Arnetta could crumble just like that in his hands.

It's hilarious!

He tried to destroy this woman. It had hurt her to the deepest point where this woman could have taken her own life, but this extremely fragile-looking Arnetta had just awakened it. Jullian had already destroyed everything he had.

"Look, I loved you once. Hugely. I want to have you somehow. Even if I have to make you paralyzed and can't run away from me anymore." Lirih.

Slowly Jullian advanced his face and fused their eyebrows together. Quietly in his heart was grateful this woman did not put up a fight. Arnetta could have been determined to smash his forehead until he fainted. He was also suddenly happy when he united with this woman in silence. Jullian knew that it was easier than trying to avenge this woman.

"Don't you have any pity for this man?"

Silent.

Arnetta just silently looked at the floor below and chose to let his head digest the speech well. He doubted that Jullian would last long to be this calm. The man who for him had already turned into a monster had once almost destroyed it, no, had already destroyed it. He felt dirty and tainted by the man's actions.

"No. I have absolutely no pity on you, asshole!"

Jullian should have been surprised and angered by this woman's reply. But, somehow his heart seemed to flower. He preferred Arnetta who dared to curse him rather than Arnetta who was silent like a statue. If possible, Arnetta could beat himself up every day until his bones were crushed. Whatever as long as this woman lives and breathes with her.

"i like. You can curse me and curse me like this. That way I know you have a reason to live by hating me."

"Mother with Dad why haven't you come down yet, Bi?"

The middle-aged woman named Maria only gave a small smile to her great master's son. Some days Alif inhabited this house alone, he knew the boy would give color. Alif who all already know where his origin was not treated differently. Thankfully, Jullian was a kind man. Although he knew Alif was not his flesh and blood, but the man was willing to take care of the little man since his baby. In fact, when Lusi was disgusted by the presence of his own biological child, Jullian patiently took care of his baby, even willing to learn how to take care of the baby from him and also the books he read.

Truly, Maria only hoped that the Jullian affair with Arnetta would soon be over and see this little family happy. He knew very well that from the beginning Jullian only wanted to tie the woman. Only, his master's mind was too covered by revenge. After all, Mary did not fully believe the events of five years ago. The figure of Arnetta who was so fragile and kind did not invite his suspicion. In fact, he knew the woman was very sincere.

The little man was currently waiting for Maria's freshly prepared lunch cheerfully. His feet did not stop moving when he saw his favorite dishes began to neatly arranged on the dining table.

Alif did not respond immediately. The little boy tilted his head as if he was thinking hard. Her pottery and blustery cheeks also look adorable with a pair of almond eyes hers.

"What's it like, Bi?"

If only no one knew the origin of Alif, one would surely think that this child was true Jullian flesh blood. But Mary knew that it was all fiction to anyone who didn't know it. In fact, Alif has been around since Jullian and Lusi's marriage took place. Somehow Lusi also hated his own baby so much that the woman only gave her name to her potluck baby. Only Alif, without wanting to pin any other name or surname or Jullian. Truly, Alif was only a victim of the unrighteousness of his own parents.

"The money is like this."

Suddenly Jullian's baritone voice sounded from the end of the stairs. However, what made the eyes twinkle in the eyes of the two people who had talked about it since then was the way Jullian came to them, namely with Arnetta who was in his trunk. Jullian seemed reluctant to let Arnetta get tired just from going down the stairs from his room to the dining room.

While Arnetta who was in the arms of the man could only resign and be silent. The woman was also seen reluctant to put both wrists on the man's neck.

"Damn it! You don't have to treat me like this."

Once again Jullian felt his heart being turned upside down. Instead of feeling offended, instead he chuckles at the swearing issued by the woman. Let, he thought. As long as Arnetta and his future baby are healthy, he doesn't mind being tortured like anything.

"Don't curse, beautiful. Our children are watching."

Arnetta's gaze turned and caught Alif sitting with a big smile at the dining table while waiting for him to get there.

The kid?

Has Jullian just proclaimed that Alif is also his son?

Doesn't he feel wrong about hearing that?

"No. You didn't hear wrong. Alif is our son. I'm his father and you're his mother." Jullian whispered softly as if he could read the contents of this woman's mind.

Arnetta did not realize the tearful hair started to bathe her eyes. Heart warms. Like someone hugged himself very tightly. He has children and family. One thing he never dared to imagine before.

When Jullian Sudsh lowered his body beside Alif, Arnetta immediately cried as hard as she covered her face. Jullian did not feel panicked. The man carried Arnetta into his arms and stroked the woman's narrow back. Instead, Alif, the boy who immediately gave a murderous look that looked funny in Jullian's eyes.

"What father is my mother?"

"No. I didn't do anything." Kill Jullian while stroking Arnetta's back.

"lik! I must have wanted to copy my mother."

The only mischief he had done to this woman was to impregnate her. But, Jullian felt he was crazy to say all that frontally to Alif. Instead, the man laughed in response.

Mary captures this frame of happiness with an overwhelming sense of inner haru. He just hopes this little family can soon pick up his happiness.

But, what Maria had forgotten was the presence of the woman from her second past who was currently stalking the house with a cruel look out there. Hate shrouded his face.

"Mama should see! Jullian bought this big house just for that whore. He dumped me and took my son. Make that whore a wife and mother of my granddaughter."

The beautiful face of the middle-aged woman was just like the woman who had just said a sentence of provocation for her. His anger arose when he learned of the fact that a prostitute dared to enter his family.

"You just calm down. When Jullian goes to see his father, we will expel the ***** from there. It's not him who should be there, it's you, mama's daughter-in-law."
