Don't Say Love (BOOK 2)
Chapter 40

"Julian ..."

Since that night, Lusi was her nightmare. The woman who had made herself turn into a cruel monster. A monster he shouldn't have done to Arnetta. And he didn't know if he could still hang on with his sanity.

"I don't want to talk to you. Just looking at your face I'm sick of Lusi. Don't make me do the same thing I did to your mother."

Luci was still in his place, but this time the woman was crying. Her tears were already falling on her face. Nelangsa. He wanted this guy. He wanted to keep the family he had dreamed of for so long. Like Arnetta who had Ratih as his mother, at least he wanted to have one family in his life. The place came home even though it was all just an illusion.

"I want you Jullian. Wanted you so much." Lirih.

BRACKET!

The loud sound made Lusi reflexively close her eyes full of shock and fear. The glass object that was originally on the man's workbench was already smashed to pieces after it crashed hard. Jullian throws the glass vase on his desk aloud before finally letting out a sharp, cruel sound in his ears.

"Tell me again what you want, ******!"

Lusi tried to take a deep breath. Think of it as being very selfish here. This woman only had the last chance to expect things to improve again.

"I .. want my husband."

A moment of sudden silence. The entire air seemed to surround Susi to make the woman's eyes only focused on the man who was still turning his back. Just through that wide back alone, Lusi had already felt a chill piercing his heart. Jullian seemed reluctant to see his face again. Moreover, the man did not want to come at all during their divorce trial. All are handled by lawyers and their agents. While Lusi is still waiting for the change of her husband who wants to cancel their divorce.

"Julian ..."

"HAHAHA !"

The voice shrill around the room a second later. Surrounding the entire space inside there was thunderous. However, not the kind of happy laughter but the terrible laughter that was able to make Lusi's stomach churn. The woman knew that Jullian not only did not like her, but had come to the extent of hating her.

"Husband ?" asked the man in a half-in disbelief. "Who did you say that to ? me ?"

Lusi tried to hold his head up. This was an emotional conversation he would face since the last time Jullian nearly suffocated him to the point of being out of breath. "Yes, you're my husband. Until whenever we're husband and wife."

The man immediately turned his body. His face displayed an unpleasant hue. There was no friendly Jullian like the one he had displayed when he first met Lusi. It all seems to have vanished. This woman is the destroyer of his life. Destroyer everything.

Jullian walked up to Lusi with slow steps and with his sharp gaze. Like a predator ready to prey on its victims, the man no longer had compassion on the woman.

"You were never my wife, Lucia. Never will."

Mother's love.

Love of a man.

The father always prided himself on it.

Everything that should have been hers belonged to that woman. Her mother always said that everything she had for her father was hers. Everything he heard that Arnetta took away all hers, that woman shouldn't have been a barrier in his life. Now only Jullian and their marriage can sustain him. As long as Jullian wants to continue their marriage, then Lusi will change. He will no longer listen to his mother's orders. He will be the good wife and the woman that the man wants.

"I can. I can always be whatever I want. Even I can be Arnetta, that despicable woman you want if you ask."

"SILENCE!"

Jullian shouted in front of Luci's face without thinking anymore that his actions were a form of violence. He no longer cares about the fact that Lusi is a woman that he should not be kasari. In her grip the woman's jaw was strong and then threw the woman to the floor without feeling. It did not matter that the woman was in pain. The man's breathing was breathless as if there was a huge emotion that he had endured for a long time.

Jullian never understood what this woman wanted. Somehow he was able to marry this mentally ill woman. If time could turn, Jullian would put his emotions aside. He would choose to investigate the woman's venomous speech rather than having to spend the rest of his life with this venomous woman.

"What can I do to get you to come back to me?"

Still interrupted by a groan of pain due to his hand being hit by the end of the table of Jullian's room, the woman was still making a sound. He is still trying to fix the situation. He does not want his marriage to be ruined.

"Nothing."

Lusi turned his head to look at the man's face. She never loved Jullian, but she knew he was destined to be her husband. His. Until whenever he would not willingly let anyone ruin his marriage.

While Jullian looks still unwilling to look at the face of his ex-wife. Many wounds would be remembered by him if he looked back at the woman. Lusi had made him turn into a cruel monster. Destroying something that he absolutely should not have destroyed.

"Since you asked Arnetta to take your place to meet me during the arranged marriage arranged by our parents, I have forever been unable to accept any other woman other than Arnetta." Evidently. It seemed to shake, as if Jullian was reorganizing his emotions. He still had to be merciful because she had given birth to Arif, his encouragement to this world, even though the child was not his flesh and blood.

"You're sick, Lucia. You don't love me. You're just obsessed with having everything your stepbrother has. You're not sane."

Lusi shook his head tightly. He knew Jullian's words were wrong. He knows he is right and healthy. Not like the man said. Everything he has should be preserved.

"Don't you ever love me? Why can you love that woman, but not love me?"

"Even if you try to be Arnetta, you'll never be him. I'll never love you."
