Trial Marriage Husband : I Am CEO's Plaything

Lisa tried to break free from the strong grip of the tall man, but he was so strong. Lisa thought of fighting the man back by kicking him in the groin, but she couldn't find the right timing.

"Get off me, Oscar! Since when did you enter my boarding house!?" Lisa asked in disbelief.

The man lowered his head so that it was in line with Lisa's ears then whispered, "How many times have I told you? Stay away from Rangga!"

His grip got tighter, slowly choking Lisa's breath. The woman was still struggling, looking for an opening to escape.

"What…What for!?" Lisa replied in a choked voice. "Let go of me… You bastard! I can't breathe, stupid!"

The man then released Lisa from his grip. He didn't want to bother fistfighting with her.

Lisa coughed loudly as she held her choked neck, trying to breath. The woman then lowered her head and cleared her throat, swallowing her own saliva in terror.

"Why, why do I have to listen to what you say, Oscar?!" Lisa changed the way she spoke while glaring at the man of European descent.

The man was still standing covering the entrance of the boarding house with his arms crossed. "I heard it myself just now. You don't really love Rangga,"

Lisa lifted her face arrogantly then replied, "So what? Is that a problem for you?"

"Don't lie to me Lisa. I know that you lied when you said you were going out with Rangga that night. You deliberately tricked me so I wouldn't come to you again, right?" The man had his hands on his hips, his blue eyes staring at Lisa with a cold and scary gaze.

Lisa then snorted at Oscar's words. "And what's that got to do with you whether I like him or not?"

Her words just now sounded very confident and provocative. She couldn't stop herself from stabbing the blue-eyed man with her sharp as daggers remarks.

Oscar began to run out of patience when he heard Lisa's words just now. Seeing that Lisa didn't waver when he threatened her made Oscar even more embarrassed.

"Don't you dare to go out with Rangga again! You two don't get along well!"

"How dare you try to tell me how I should live my life? Just so you know, Rangga has been my close friend since childhood. I've been going back and forth to tell you that Rangga is just a friend! Now I'm asking you to leave my boarding house if you have no other interest other than disturbing my life!"

Lisa then pointed her index finger towards the exit.

The man was just silent watching Lisa who looked different from the previous days. The woman who once bowed her knees in front of him was now stronger and harder to knock down.

The man clicked his tongue as he turned his body, preparing to walk away.

"You can escape tonight, Lisa. But just you wait! One day, I'll come to you again!"

When the figure of the tall, athletic man disappeared from her sight, Lisa immediately locked the door of her boarding house tightly.

She finally could breathe free. Lisa was getting worried. Every time she changed the locks and keys of her boarding house, the man of European descent always had various ways to enter.

The key and the padlock were always broken and replaced with new ones. Somehow, the man always managed to replace it, so the boarding house where Lisa lived was no longer safe. It looked like she would have to consider Rangga's offer just now.

Luckily, Oscar didn't do anything Lisa didn't want him to do like a while ago.

That night, Lisa couldn't sleep peacefully. She was forced to sleep with one eye open on the living room sofa, guarding herself against the golden haired man.

*** 

A week after Oscar sneaked into the boarding house, Lisa still had some fear in her heart. She stayed up all night long constantly feeling uneasy. She didn't know when her ex-husband would come and bother her, so she had been sleeping in the living room for almost a week.

Her days at the office were getting tiring, although not always bad. 

At last, Lisa had started to get closer with Bastian at work. The two colleagues always ate lunch together in the office's canteen and outside.

Not only that, Lisa began to get acquainted with Bastian's colleagues in the IT department. They were not the type to get along easily in the near future, but thanks to Bastian's help, Lisa immediately became close with several of the man's co-workers.

After coming home from work, Lisa took the time to stop by a supermarket. She had n't bought her monthly needs. She often had meals at the office or outside. Lisa really missed home cooking.

After buying her groceries in the supermarket, the woman returned to continue her journey back to the boarding house.

Lisa walked along the long sidewalk, around which stood towering office buildings.

For a moment, Lisa glanced at one of the office buildings and thought. Oscar must be working in the office at this hour.

The woman shook her head again. No, she didn't want to remember the man who'd ruined her life!

Lisa continued her pace quickly and hurriedly as she brushed off her thoughts about Oscar.

'Lis, you idiot. A week ago, he came to your boarding house and made you afraid and terrified, how come you even miss him now? How dare you!?'

Lisa didn't realize that she was walking aimlessly as she thought this. She tried to run from the shadows of her bitter past. Until finally, the woman stopped in front of a shop which made her stunned.

Lisa stared blankly at the shop's front view. Her lips parted slightly, completely at a loss for words.

She found herself stopping in front of a baby supply store. There was some kind of urge building up from inside her telling her to come inside.

She pushed open the shop's door and then walked inside the shop with a blank stare.

When she saw a woman carrying a child passing through her, Lisa always felt that the child was hers.

Her memory went back to the time when she was pregnant. If her child had not died in the womb, maybe Lisa was buying him new clothes at the store now.

Lisa looked at the baby clothes rack for a long time then a middle-aged woman tapped her on the shoulder from behind.

"Miss Lisa, why are you here?" Mrs. Rusminah asked, carrying the adorable William.

Seeing the middle-aged woman who'd accompanied her for almost a year at Oscar's house made Lisa rub her eyes. She felt like she was dreaming. 

Her mind couldn't believe what she saw.. Did she really meet with Mrs. Rusminah and William?
