Doubts
“So all this time you were just playing my husband?” Jessica said in front of the mirror. She was angry but her love for Lexi never wavered.
She still remembered clearly what happened during the incident in that building first. She was in love with Lexi at that time. The more she remembered, the more she disliked Lexi. He was guilty from the beginning. From the very beginning it was arbitrary. Jessica snorted irritably at the thought of it all.
(sounds of the door opened)
The room door was opened. Lexi, who had just returned from work, stood at the door and smiled at Jessica.
Jessica brushed off all her anger, she returned a smile from Lexi.
“You just got home?” Jessica asked, looking at the wall clock that already showed five o’clock in the afternoon. It’s not unusual for Lexi to be home thirty minutes later than usual.
“Yes, there are some files that I checked and I signed. Are you waiting for me?” Lexi walked over and was already in front of Jessica.
“I’ll be home in time until tomorrow,” Lexi said. He hugged his wife and landed a lot of kisses on her lips and her face.
Silent. They stared at each other. Especially Lexi, he stared into the direction of his wife, as if there was an hourglass that continued to run one day that would rob him of his time with Jessica.
“Is something bothering you?” Lexi asked. He led Jessica to sit on the bed. Right in front of him.
Jessica returned Lexi’s gaze, there was much to the annoyance of her mind. Especially regarding Lexi’s feelings for him during this time. Just trying to fall in love? Or really love her with all my heart.
Later, she remembered a remark from Daniel Kim, that he wanted to destroy a business owned by Lexi. What happened? If he was not a member of her family, the man named Daniel Kim would have wanted to destroy Lexi.
“Did you find out about Daniel?” Jessica asked. She still could not see the man in ruin.
“So what? What did he say yesterday when you met?” Lexi kept listening to every word Jessica said.
“I don’t remember what he said, Obviously I can get the point. He wanted to see the destruction of Ricardo’s family business,” Jessica said. Yes, at least he wanted Lexi to start being vigilant from now on.
“Jess, did he really intend it that way?” Lexi asked. He began to remember previous events. When the company owned by the Kim Foundation and Kim Corporation, almost captured the city park construction project, and then they just gave up. Wasn’t that very suspicious? Lexi was convinced that it all had to do with Jessica.
Jessica nodded slowly.
“Then, what about you? If they are, they are members of your family. Are you going to leave me?” Lexi investigated. Jessica’s response was the same as yesterday.
“Shouldn’t I be the one asking like that?” Jessica turned around. Both of her eyeballs looked at the husband with an angry look.
“What do you mean, Jess?” Lexi returned Jessica’s gaze. There was a different look there.
“How about I stay here and they destroy all the hard work that dad and you have built, Ricardo’s family business empire. Are you going to keep me, or give me to that guy?” Jessica asked. She just wanted to know how much he meant to Lexi. She didn’t like it. One day she would be in a position where she has to choose. Seeing Lexi was fine, but it should be away from her. Or seeing Lexi in ruin.
“No it won’t happen Jess! It’s not that easy that Ricardo Group was destroyed!” Lexi’s hunch was getting worse. Daniel Kim must have threatened Jessica.
“That’s good,” Jessica concluded. Although She knew what Lexi just threw was just a lie.
“How are you today? Is it getting better?” The finger of Lexi’s right hand stretched Jessica’s hair behind her ear. He didn’t want anything to interfere with his vision.
“Yes, my condition is getting better. Cassandra came and mama went with her all day!” Jessica reported. He would love to hear Lexi explain what she asked Arsene. However, Jessica decided to undo it.
“Let it be, I don’t care about him. Look, is my wife jealous?” Lexi’s joking melt the tension between them.
“I’m not jealous! I just don’t like her coming here, and my mom would rather go than stay at home with me!” Jessica complained.
“Emm, how about we just stay in the apartment, so you don’t have to bother and look at Cassandra? How?” Lexi had always preferred to live in an apartment. When he felt sad, he did not need to pretend to be okay in front of his parents.
“So what? Would you like me to stay there?” Jessica asked.
“In the past, I preferred to live in an apartment. I felt like I was myself and didn’t have to pretend!” Lexi answered honestly.
“Wait, what does it mean that right now you feel tired because you are pretending?” His wife said. She was shocked about what Lexi said.
The man did not answer. He went to the bathroom. Jessica still had a lot of questions.

At noon.
Lexi had gone to work. Mr. Samuel also went to the office. Jessica was sitting in the living room with Mrs. Anna. At this time, Jessica’s trust in Lexi and the rest of Ricardo’s family was slightly reduced.
“Are you okay, Jess?” Mrs. Anna asked.
“Yes, Mom. I’m feeling better.” At first glance, Mrs. Anna had always been kind to her from the beginning when she was in this family house. However, she did not know what she meant to her. The daughter-in-law she cared about, or just pretending because she wanted something. The heir to the Ricardo Group, who today was already a clot of blood in her womb.
“Are you still sick this morning?” Mrs. Anna really wished Jessica was pregnant.
“A little bit, mom.”
“Then how about we go to the doctor now?” Miss Anna asked.
“No, Mom, next time!” Jessica, who already knew that she was pregnant, said.
“Miss Jessica,” the maid called from the living room.
“Yes.”
Jessica turned gaze to the source of the voice.
“There are people looking for you in front,” she replied.
“Who is that?” Mrs. Anna asked.
“I don’t know, but he told me that he was told by Mrs. Grace,” the maid replied as the guest said.
“Meet him first Jess!” Mrs. Anna said.

Chelsea was waiting for Daniel Kim’s arrival. The man accidentally came to Chelsea’s house. Whatever he would do to make Jessica choose to go with him rather than having to approve the relationship of his sister with one of Ricardo’s family members.
They both sat on the front porch where Chelsea and her family lived. There was only him and his mother at home. If there was a king, his father. Perhaps the man would not give permission if he found out that the man whom his daughter met is the enemy of the owner of the highest position in which he works.
“Have you seen Jessica?” Daniel Kim asked.
“Yes. Yesterday Jessica asked me to come to Ricardo’s family residence,” Chelsea said. In addition to wanting to help Jessica meet her family, Chelsea is also looking forward to meeting Daniel Kim. The guy is the most handsome man according to his version.
“So, What did Jessica say?”insists Daniel Kim. Chelsea could easily have done with him. Daniel, I’m not going to waste this opportunity. Chelsea will certainly help him a lot, draining all the information he finds out about Ricardo’s family.
“Jessica wants to meet her parents, or just have proof you do know about her parents,” Chelsea replied that Jessica said yesterday. “She still can’t believe that you are a member of her family, just because you have a photo from when she was six years old,” she explained.
“Oh, I see. All right, I’m going to Ricardo’s house to see Jessica!” Daniel couldn’t wait to bring Jessica home.
“But-,”
“But? what?”
“I can’t take you there. I’m scared because it’s too risky. My dad works at Ricardo Group!” her expression worried.
“Yes, I can do it myself!” Daniel returned Chelsea’s gaze which managed to make her heart race. “Thank you for everything! I’ll see Jessica right now.”
The man stood up from his seat.
Chelsea only saw Daniel Kim’s back walking away from her. She hoped she could meet that guy again.
