Trial Marriage Husband : I Am CEO's Plaything

"Don't play dumb in front of me, Lisa! I know Oscar has been visiting your ugly house several times and enjoying himself there! You're seducing him on purpose as your revenge for me, right!?" Clara's voice started to rise. Her usual unreadable expression now turned furious.

Lisa still kept her composure and anger in control from hearing the words that came out Clara's mouth.

Looking at Clara's unruly attitude, Lisa could conclude that the demonic woman deliberately came to undermine her confidence.

"Seriously, Clar?" Lisa lazily said as she turned her head towards Clara. "You still can't move on from the illusion that I still like your white boyfriend? Come on, I don't think you're that stupid,"

Lisa shrugged her shoulders and waved one of her hands. "Just get out of here, I'm too lazy to talk to you, I swear!"

Her last sentence drove Clara's rage even more. It hurt her pride so much that her plan to provoke Lisa so that the woman's confidence waver had failed. Instead of getting discouraged, Lisa fired back at her in the same way she came for her. 

Now that's what people call karma!

The demonic woman was silent for a moment, her tongue rolled back in shame. She was very upset because she failed to destroy Lisa's resolve. Her face was turning red like an apple that had just ripened from a tree and her fingers were clenched into fists.

"Just see, Lisa! If you dare to approach Oscar again then you will suffer the consequences!" Clara shouted.

"I don't mind," Lisa casually replied as she continued her steps.

"Don't pretend to be relaxed, Lisa! I know you envy my life and Oscar! Just watch, I'll show you that my love life is happier than yours right now! I already have a child with Oscar and I really love him!"

Lisa snorted as she continued her steps. She ignored Clara's nonsense then raised one of her hands and said, "We wish you happiness and success!"

Seeing Lisa's very relaxed and unwavering response made Clara even more annoyed and resented that her plan had failed. She turned her body and walked away in annoyance.

"You bitch! You think your life is better than mine right now? What an arrogant bitch! Don't ever think of snatching Oscar from me!" Clara said to herself.

***

Clara returned to Oscar's house with a displeased heart. Her pride seemed to be torn apart from her encounter with Lisa who she thought was lowly. Such a shame she didn't get what she wanted today.

The woman took off her high heels and threw them toward the edge of the living room with a fiery face.

She handed over the groceries she was carrying to Mrs. Rusminah rudely. Mrs. Rusminah was confused to see Clara who's usually calm and polite became very rude and temperamental.

The demonic woman then walked into the living room. She saw Oscar playing with little William. When the man turned his head exchanging glances with Clara, he waved his hand at Mrs. Rusminah. "Ma'am, please take William back to his room!"

Without saying much, Mrs. Rusminah nodded then picked up William and brought him into the room.

Oscar got up from the sofa and walked past Clara, who was still standing still in the living room. He did not look at her as if she was not his lover as Clara had claimed.

"Oscar!" Clara suddenly shouted as the man passed her. "Are you going to keep ignoring me like this!? I am your lover!"

"I want to be alone," Oscar said coldly and curtly.

Clara couldn't believe what she was hearing and seeing right now. The man with the golden hair that had always sparkled under the sunshine had ignored her as if she was nothing but a stranger who happened to be sleeping at his house.

Why did that European man treat her like a stranger? Hadn't Oscar been divorced from Lisa for a long time? 

Did that guy have an affair with another woman?!

Clara's confidence began to waver. The man who used to love her when they studied in Sweden now turned indifferent towards her.

"Oscar, I just wanted to chat with you! Is it difficult for you to talk to me like before?" Clara said with a pitiful look.

"You are not like before. When we were still in school in Sweden, you always woke me up and said sweet words before I left for college. Every time I come home, you always pick me up and then we eat together at your apartment," that demonic woman shed tears from her left eye.

"You always took me on vacation to other European countries when it's summer time. You were so understanding, Oscar! What's wrong with you now?" Clara pleaded in a choked, sobbing voice.

Oscar chose to remain silent. He didn't look at Clara's face at all.

"Sorry," Oscar said softly.

"I don't need your apologies, Oscar! I need your love for me!" Clara replied, starting to tear up.

Oscar turned his body and then looked into Clara's eyes blankly. "I don't know what else to say. After all this time, my feelings would eventually fade away. Let our past be buried forever,"

Clara walked over to the man and hugged him from behind. She used both of her arms and hugged him tightly.

"Why don't you give me a second chance? You're divorced. Isn't this the right time to restart the love that once existed between us? I miss your caress, I miss lying next to you!" Clara said, sobbing.

"Sorry, I don't need a second chance," Oscar replied indifferently.

Hearing Oscar's words, Clara was unable to say anything other than sobbing. The tears that rolled down her cheeks washed off her neatly polished makeup. Her beautiful face now looked pathetic!

She did not think that the man who once loved her would lose his feelings for her. Clara then wiped away her endless tears.

She knelt and pleaded before Oscar. "Please Oscar, give me a chance to mend our relationship! I'm sorry that I had to leave you 5 years ago,"

The man approached Clara who was kneeling in front of him. His two clear blue eyes stared at the demonic woman with a cold, heartless gaze.

"Clara," he said dryly. "If you really love me, you shouldn't have accepted bribes from my mother at that time! You would rather take a bribe of 10000 dollars to get away from me than stay,"

"But Oscar, I really needed money at that time! I was in a very difficult situation. Greta didn't give me any other choice!" Clara answered while still sobbing.

"Can you at least give me a chance to make up for my mistake from 5 years ago?"

The demonic woman was still kneeling and crying, begging Oscar to pity her.

"Please! At least allow me to kiss you every night!"

"Don't reject my love like this, Oscar!"

"Why are you like this!? Why reject my love, Oscar? Do you still have feelings for Lisa? What's so special about that uneducated bitch!?" 

Hearing Clara's last sentence offended Oscar. The man slapped her until her cheeks turned red.

"Oscar! Why!?" Clara shouted in pain. The woman looked into Oscar's eyes with a fierce gaze.

Without thinking and talking much, Oscar turned around and left Clara.. The man entered his room then slammed the door loudly.
