ELEVEN

= previous episode=

Belle nodded enthusiastically. "Yes, true."

Drinks arrive, and to my surprise, the juice is the same as the one I don't have time to drink at home.

"I can't believe he ended up marrying you."

"Why? Does that seem impossible to you?" I asked curiously.

Belle just replied to my question with a smile line.

"Because Richie once told me -" he said, giving me a sharp glance. I'm getting uncomfortable with his gaze.

==

"He said you weren't the woman he wanted to marry -" said Belle too plainly and casually.

She even smiled innocently as if her words didn't pierce my heart at all. A smile that hurts. I think she's the type to hurt others easily with her sweet-sounding words.

"Huh? Is that so?"

I don't know how to react. In the end, I still married Richie - the man who told this woman that I wasn't the woman he wanted to marry. Does this marriage torment Richie?

Wait. I don't believe that it's my fault.

This is a threat from his mother. I am the one caught up in this marriage, not him. I should have felt indifferent to what Belle said because I wasn't the one who asked him to marry.

Well ... I'm innocent here. Blame Richie for finally choosing to marry me to cover up his forbidden relationship.

“Is there a reason why Richie said that? You're his ex, of course, he said something," I asked curiously.

"Well .. there. He says the reason. And honestly, it hurts me. "

Oh, yes? So you know how hurt it feels? - I muttered.

"He said you were too precious to be hurt," she continued.

Am I on a roller coaster ride? This girl managed to make me want to scream. Momentarily she made me fall to the ground. Then now catapult me ​​high into the sky. Can I believe her words?

"You can feel how I was at that time. My man said things like that in front of his girlfriend. So, am I a woman who deserves to be hurt?"

Belle sulked against the back of the sofa. Sighing, arms crossed, even pursed his lips with cute ripples that almost made me want to smile amused.

It turns out that this girl isn't as annoying as I thought.

"And in the end, he married you too. Hey...I'm saying this because I'm curious. Is he still in touch with Alex Turner?"

This time my eyeballs almost wanted to pop out. She also knew the relationship between the two. What ... did they announce their relationship to everyone?

"Do you know him?"

Belle nodded through a wink of her eye, "At first I was normal. I just thought Alex was his best friend who was in trouble. Richie helped Alex a lot at that time. They reciprocated later. But after a while -"

Belle devoured a piece of tart then squealed again, "- I saw something different from them. And well, I gave up on this relationship. Richie sucks. I never thought women are not enough for him."

"Wait. So you know that Richie -"

"Gay? Well. We broke up because of that. If at that time Richie cheated on me to be with you -"

Belle spoke as she assessed my appearance, "- of course I will fight. But what I have to deal with is a man? Well, I'm done."

Belle sounds so sad. She feels lousy but doesn't want to look like that in front of me. Maybe her jealousy for me is still there. And I, too, will soon have the same fate as hers.

"So you know Richie is gay. Why are you still marrying him? Has he changed?" asked Belle, sounding very curious.

I did not respond to her question. Because there's no way, I can tell about this contract marriage with her right?

About feelings?

Richie was reluctant to leave Alex.

Either until the end of the contract or even before that, I might give up as Belle did.

Stupidly, I even wanted to fight and fight against Alex with the letter of agreement I made for them yesterday.

Am I struggling? Or do I still like him?

Not. I don't expect that to happen.

All I want is victory. I have to win Richie's heart from that annoying guy.

But what?

Whereas I don't exist in his heart?

I have to find out. And I have to make him think of me. Now or never.

#

Half the day was so hot, and I spent outside the house. After having a fun conversation with Belle earlier, I realized that Belle is not a bad enough woman. She is entertaining and also friendly.

And oh... I just found out. Belle is the model who won last year's Asia Top Model contest. I was amazed that Richie could date a model. Oh yeah, if there wasn't Alex, Richie was capable enough to marry a top artist. The problem here is Alex.

The worst is him!

That man snatched Richie from Belle.

But why?

How can?

I'm just going to ring the bell, the door to the house has opened.

In front of me stood a tall man in a blue pastel shirt watching me, who had just returned home.

Alex is like my mom, who gets angry when I come home late. But because I don't like him, I don't care about him when he puts his sharp eyes to intimidate me.

"We have something to talk about -"

I pulled Alex out the front door into the backyard. Alex looked confused, but I kept dragging him beside the pool to prevent Richie from hearing this conversation. But it seems like he knows what I'm afraid of. So that he let go of my hand grip forcibly because he refused to be forced.

"Richie out of the house, just talk here."

"So right, you're the third person in Richie's relationship?"
