Facade Love: Marrying A Perfect Husband

Harry remembered return, how carelessly Cleo rarely wore her ring. Was afraid the ring would get dirty and get stained when she made the dough. Or weary of having to take off and put the ring on following the circumstances around her.

Harry with a sweet demeanor, draped the necklace around Cleo's neck. Got rid of Cleo's long dangling hair and take off the ring she wears from the beginning during she acted flawlessly and painstakingly in front of Harry's grandmother.

Harry's satisfied smile was etched.

"This necklace looks good around your neck."

Something surprising happened. Just attached the ring to the necklace chain which Harry had brought especially for her. The diamond on Cleo's ring suddenly glowed. Emits a bright burgundy glow.

Cleo was taken aback. Surprised and wondering. She didn't stop staring at the ring and Harry's face in turn. Then looked up in surprise.

"Why does this ring light up and gave off such a beautiful color?" Cleo asked in amazement and couldn't stop smiling.

Harry pulled the corners of his lips up too.

"This necklace chain is the partner of the ring. It has its own uniqueness because this necklace is made in pairs with the wedding ring. You will find a variety of different colors every time the diamond in this ring rubs against the chain."

This explanation was truly riveting and interesting.

"Those things a pair?"

Harry nodded.

"Yeah. And I'm still looking for the locket. Because the jewelry designer has a unique personality to selling it in a split and does not combine it. Between chains, pendants, and rings, to bracelets. They are sold separately at various of different places. I was already planning to have my people hunt for it."

Harry acted like a jewelry collector. And that according to Cleo was quite incompatible with his personality.

"But, what if, the locket already has an owner?"

Harry was still proud and confident.

"I will make that person dare to sell it to me at any price. Then I want to see how pretty the locket will hang around your neck when the day came?"

Cleo smiled faintly.

"Okay. Thank you. But when the time came, I would return all of this to you without the need for negotiation."

Harry frowned.

"What do you mean?"

"As we have agreed. Aren't we only going to be married for two years? That's why we make a prenup. Do not make physical contacts like a husband and wife. And, I certainly need to keep my limits."

Harry was silent. Never pleased when Cleo brought up this matter. Harry suddenly spoke harshly.

"Do I need to tear up that agreement letter?"

Cleo was surprised.

"Hey! The agreement is indeed like that. Why are you mad and becoming disapproving?"

Cleo was needed clarity and she needed justification.

"Don't you realize at all why I'm doing this all? Giving you gifts, worrying about you, and even wanting you to always be by my side. Don't you realize what the true reason why I'm doing all this?"

Cleo was silent. She didn't dare to make speculate. Because high speculation just will only make her fall and get hurt if the whole thing was a lie.

Harry had pressed her against the side of the wall. Kissed her lips that kept on talking about the things he hated and touched her deeper and deeper again. Cleo became short of breath. Tried to dodge and push Harry away from her.

Harry instead pressed her hands and body without break. Cleo complained.

"Harry...!"

Did not get a response and was not given space to be felt comfortable. Harry was getting more and more out of control. Take advantage of this opportunity to express the feelings that he has been hiding for a long time.

Harry closed his eyes in annoyance. Had not thought that he could be too aggressive and forgotten many things.

A sob was heard. The crying sound came from Cleo. So, he felt his heartbreaking even more. And stopped his movement. Lifting his face and watching Cleo's eyes.

Harry was now cursing himself.

"I'm so sorry..." Harry said quietly and helplessly.

Cleo was still rooted to the spot. Didn't give another response besides crouched down while hugging her limp legs. The bad occurrence of that day was echoed in Cleo's head.

Harry cursed again, "Ah, Damn it!"

He used this chance to continue hitting the wall in annoyance with himself. Harry then crouched down and tried to comfort Cleo. Tried to calm her down if he can and was making amends.

Cleo was still sobbing while venting her hatred.

"I hate you, Harry! Hate you so much!"

"Cleo..."

"You shouldn't be so rude to me. You're breaking the rules and you don't deserve to treat me like this either."

The simple pleasure was Harry had just given Cleo, vanished. Replaced with feelings of disappointment that are too huge and painful.

Harry tried to calm down.

"I'm sorry, Cleo. I lost control and I... didn't mean to hurt you either. I'm just subconsciously annoyed at your attitude and words. I'm fed up and wearied!"

"Then we well-equal! We felt annoyed with each other and resented each other's attitude! Then don't talk to me for the next few days!" Highly annoyed and not wanting to compromise anymore, Cleo went to her room. Slammed the door and buried herself in the blankets.

She also didn't understand what Harry wanted and she didn't want to try understanding.

Harry's expression remained bad even until tomorrow morning. Woke up when he received a phone call from Luan. Harry also showed his displeasure with Luan by answering the phone call curtly.

"What's up?" he asked without preamble and a desired to be friendly.

"She seems to have moved, Har! Started to back into this town and went to see Robby. They are currently having a secret encounter and we are a little difficult to get into between them. So now, what should we do?"

The person Luan meant, must be Aretta was.

So that, Harry's consciousness spontaneously became full.

"They've moved this early?" Harry's lazy gaze probably couldn't be seen by Luan. But from just his tone alone, Luan could tell that Harry's mood had been ruined.

Luan had begun to express her predicament.

"My people have found the location. But it was difficult to get close to them because they were talking on spacious ground. We couldn't get close to much and could only observe from afar. It's difficult."

Harry understood more and more what their situation was.

"In that case, just call Reihan to the location. He is good at reading the lips and posture of the people who he wanted to observe."

Luan immediately realized his folly. Even though, he had known this important thing for a long time. But he has suddenly abolished it from his mind off. Reihan came exactly as requested without much complaint. He happened to be near the location and was able to arrive quickly.

Robby and Aretta's anger was read perfectly by Reihan.

"You're dared do this to me?!" Robby said in disbelief and continued to stare at Aretta.

Aretta seemed to just be silent in place. Staring at Robby reluctantly and lazy to deal with him again. Aretta seemed to regret her actions that were so easy to following Robby's men to return to this city.
