JORDAN
Chapter 21's
Drett. Drett.
Drett.
Jordan
heard his wife's cell phone on the nightstand ring. He too
trying to reach it with eyes still half-circumcised using one
his hands, while one more hand hugged Lionara who was sleeping on top of his chest.
Subsequent to
successfully getting the phone, Jordan saw the screen on because of a
a notification from Lionara social media appeared. Jordan frowned in wonder, the new moment
realize if this cold woman turns out to have an interest in the world
that maya. Jordan is actually not too interested—but pop up on mobile
it really bothers him.
Daniel.xander
Jordan
glanced for a moment at Lionara who was still soundly asleep. Slowly it
he shifted his wife's head to fall asleep on the pillow.
Jordan
get up and get down from his place. He grabbed his towel last night and
wrapped it around his waist to cover his naked body. Then
step seven balcony room—open the balcony door slowly so as not to
disturbed his wife's sleep.
Jordan
open the direct message. Jawline
it instantly hardened, while its eyes glittered horribly while reading in lines
order there.
Tomorrow, meet me at
rooftops. I have something to talk about. Please, don't ignore me, flo…
Jordan
growling, cursing slowly realize Lionara is still in contact with the bastard
that. he scrolls the screen up, reading Daniel's previous post—to be exact
yesterday afternoon when both were at the restaurant. Jordan chuckles, really
half dead he resisted the urge to punch the wall behind him so
his emotions are rising. So this is the reason the woman lied to him…
Hold back
to not throw Lionara's phone down there, Jordan squeezed it hard
before then deleting the damn bastard's message. Goddamn bum. Jordan would
maintaining Lionara— no matter what he has to sacrifice. Already
enough of those fuckers to take away everything he used to have. Not for times
these.
Fuck those
if before this Lionara loved that fucker. Jordan doesn't care. Now
Lionara. His. In the end
hers.
Eye
Jordan observed Lionara's figure behind the blanket with a flat gaze. Sufficiently
long he was in that position until Jordan took a deep breath
before slowly climbing onto the bed, lay down there
then turned the body of Lionara who turned his back to face him
in full.
Jordan
looking at his wife's smooth face. Shabby face and barely maintained when
the first time he saw it, the more times more beautiful and
fresh after marrying him. No wonder Jordan gave it
unmitigated care for his wife it—though Lionara continues
put a protest face on him.
Lionaras
opening his eyes, the beads of the two met. Lionara smiled, her hands caressing
jordan's cheeks gently. Jordan closed his eyes, enjoying every touch
his wife.
“I miss you...” muttered Lionara with a voice
bitterly.
Jordan
opening his eyes quickly, his feelings were mixed. His heart was beating when
hearing Lionara's confession that he did not expect at all. Jordan
grabbing Lionara's hand on her cheek, grasping it gently. He carries hands
Lionara severed his lips, intending to kiss him.
But
Jordan immediately stopped him, just as Lionara's hand was ahead
her lips.
“Daniel...” Lionara continued before returning
closed his eyes, unconscious.
Jordan
speechless. His hand grip on Lionara's fingers slipped off. Then Jordan
low laugh. The laughter that made his chest even more tight.
****
Lionaras
knock on the door before opening it. It was a little difficult because one hand was carrying
coffee mugs, another one holding the agenda. He managed to get in and could see
Jordan sat in his chair, focusing on checking some documents on his desk.
Lionaras
in front of Jordan's table. Put the coffee on the table and say,
“Coffee, Sir.” After that opened Jordan's work agenda. Reminds me of today
there are meetings, besides there is an appointment with his business partner.
“Cancel
everything.” is cold, Jordan said it without shifting focus from the file
in front of him.
Lionaras
being silent for a moment, something was different from
self Jordan today—precisely since the time of waking up earlier, Jordan not much
talk like usual, even seem cold to him.
“Why?”
ask Lionara, “Isn't this meeting very important? If suddenly cancelled
this will—“
Tok..
Knock
at the door it made Lionara not continue his words.
“Congratulations
afternoon, Sir. This is the data that you asked for earlier,” said a HRD staff.
Look up, look up,
Jordan received the file and opened the sheet in his hand.
“I
ask this morning, at this new time you deliver?” jordan asked coldly.
Staff
the woman shriveled, “Ma-sorry, Sir,” she replied nervously
“This
the first and last warning if you're still working this slow. My
won't defend useless people.”
“Ba-good,
Sir.” the woman lowered her head in fear before retreating, leaving in a hurry.
Lionaras
still in his place, looking at Jordan's unfriendly cold face.
Wondering what managed to ignite his anger? ordinarily
Jordan would be very friendly to his employees, but why today
that guy seems so hard to approach? Or maybe this exists
his relationship with Daniel who has now joined this company?
Jeez, he almost forgot the figure of the man he deliberately avoided now
be in the same area with him and Jordan.
“I
will go a few days to Dubai,” said Jordan who is now staring at Lionara
“When?”
“Night
this.”
Lionaras
small nod, “Alright. I'll get your stuff ready. Anything else?”
“All
Sam to prepare urgent meeting.” report His command without tone “dan
please copy this contract.”
Only
nodding, Lionara received the dossier from Jordan then passed from there.
While Jordan was staring at the flat back of Lionara who slowly disappeared from the
his view.
Jordan
taking a heavy breath, he squeezed the beam in his hand until it was crushed in a fist
her hands. He swallowed his saliva very roughly, trying to calm down
his heart, holding tightness in his chest because the woman he loved was still in love
another guy.
****
“Tung-wait!”
half-collared Lionara ran towards the elevator that was almost closed, but
it didn't happen because someone who was inside was holding him.
Lionaras
tighten some of the documents he copied earlier into the decapan.
“Accept
ka—sih“ Lionara's voice floated in the air as she stared at the figure that was
helped him.
“Flo..”
Stupefied, stunned,
Lionara held her breath as she stared at the pair of sad eyes that were the former—mata
even to this day, he still likes it.
“El,”
“Since
I was looking for you.” Daniel smiled, “thank goodness we finally met
here.”
“For
what lookin' for me?” subconsciously Lionara stepped back and stood in the corner of the elevator
“Ada
what I want to talk about,”
“Kita
lt's over. There's nothing we need to talk about anymore.”
“What
now you hate me too?”
“Hate you?”
Lionara frowned
“Yes,
you know how bad my relationship with Jordan is. He hates me, though,
i'm too. And now you are his wife, and you do not close
maybe you don't hate me, either? I'm sure he must have been
talking bad things about me to you.”
“I
never join in hating you just because of your family problems,” firmly
Lionaras
“Then
why are you avoiding me?”
“Already
it should be, right?”
Door
the elevator opens and features an open rooftop. Without Lionara noticing, secretly
Daniel pressed the button that led to the rooftop.
Lionaras
rounding his eyes, and he had not had time to protest, Daniel first mengamit
his arm then half dragged him out of the square box.
“What
what are you doing?!” lionara's voice rose and with a loud throb
cheque Daniel.
“Should have
I asked so, what have you done to me, Flo?!” yell Daniel
with reddened eyes. His breathing was hunting, his hands clenched in anger.
Wracked,
lionara's steps were dragged backwards. For the first time Daniel yelled at her,
and that was something that the man had never done before. Even the aura
Daniel now looks intimidating.
“Hatiku
pain, Flo.” Blown Daniel
Mouths
Lionara locked. He said nothing, only watching the look
daniel's pain with a slowly flowing grain.
“I
love you so much and make every effort so we can stay together. Till
I was forced to follow Papa's will so he wouldn't do anything he could
endanger yourself. In London, I studied hard to make Papa proud
with me joining the family company and competing with the brothers
my step. Papa doesn't like Jordan because of his arrogant attitude, so he does
chose me to slowly snatch the company from his hands. I've been
tell you first, if I'm not interested in business at all
my family. I would rather be a doctor. But for the sake of being with you, I
bury my dreams and follow Papa's wishes. I thought with me I could
take Papa's heart, then our path to be together will be smooth. Papa will
accept you to be my lover because I am willing to follow his will. But look,
what do I get now?” daniel complained with such a depressed voice
bitter until Lionara could not bear to hear it.
“You
leaving me. Now what's the point of me occupying the company? Woman to
who I want to present already belongs to someone else!”
“Sorry..”
rau, that's all that can be said by the lips of Lionara. His hands are still hugging
tight documents on his chest.
Daniel
shaking, “No, Flo.. is not the word I want to hear from you.” Daniel approached
and gently squeezed Lionara's shoulder.
Daniel
grabbing Lionara's chin until the wet face looked up at him.
“Leave
Jordanian. Come back to me.” The ink is full of requests “if we need
get out of this city, and start a new life somewhere else. Away from
them,”
Silent…
No
there is no voice, no voice from Lionara. The woman was silent, staring at the face
Daniel in silence. While the clear lips from both corners of his eyes continued
fall over.
Clothesline
Daniel went through the face of the girl he loved so much. Lionara is not
moving, still in the same position let Daniel caress his cheek.
“I
wanna be with. From then until now, it never changed. We're gonna
happy living with”
“What
you still believe we'd be happy if we were together?” Lionara let go
daniel's hand from his face.
Daniel
nods confidently.
Lionaras
smile bitterly, “But I don't.”
“Flo,”
Daniel was about to grab Lionara's body again, but the woman stepped in first
retreat from it.
“Please,
untie me. We can't be together, El.” Lionara shakes weakly “kamu
I can find a much better woman than me. I'm no longer worthy
for you.”
“Fuck, ,
Flo! I want you,” jolt Daniel “you don't deserve to be with a jerk guy
that.”
“Even
because he's an El jerk then I have to be with him.”
“A-what?”
daniel's voice was choked
“You
has everything. You are kind and very loved by your family. You get
many love. But not with Jordan.”
Lionaras
swallowed his saliva, and his heart throbbed with pain as he recalled Jordan's back
who shook violently because of crying.
“Dia
there was almost no one but Grandpa who loved him. Life is the same
mess with me, or maybe he's the one who's suffering more. Because of that
I can't leave it.” said Lionara, barely audible.
Daniel
backtracking, an undefined pain plowed into his heart
sternly. Everything is too clear to deny.
“You
liked it?” daniel's lips hardened
Lionaras
look up, “I'm sorry. And thank you. Thank you for loving me
this big.”
Lionaras
turn around, take her step forward. With Daniel, who didn't
saying a word of sound—except staring at his back
move away with a crumbling feeling.
