Trial Marriage Husband : I Am CEO's Plaything

\'I\'m sure Oscar will divorce you after the child is born!\'

That sentence was still ringing in Lisa\'s head after she stepped her foot out of that damned cafe. Tears rolled down her cheeks and wet the collar of the shirt she was wearing.

Lisa felt as if she had been humiliated by that bastard. Her love life was not beautiful, especially after she was left by her ex-boyfriend who ran away with her money. Now, after marrying a president of a well-known telecommunication company, she doubted her love for her husband even more. Especially after the evil woman with the snow white face set a fire in her heart just now.

Clara\'s appearance made Lisa feel that she was far lower than her and that she wasn\'t at her level. She was not as beautiful as Clara who had a fair, flawless white skin and looked youthful. In her eyes, she was an ugly duckling while Clara was a graceful swan.

Lisa\'s vision was so blurred when tears kept flooding her eyes. She almost got hit by a motorcycle when she crossed the road. Lisa was not able to walk anymore, she stopped at a bus stop and sat down. She took the cell phone from her purse and made a call.

All memories with Oscar that she recorded from the time she met him until now suddenly flashed in her mind. What if Clara\'s words were true? What if Oscar didn\'t really love her?

"Hello Lisa?" A woman from across the phone asked.

"Ndien," she said softly. "Are you still in the office?"

"Yes, I\'m going down to the lobby, why? Why are you crying?"

"I\'m at the bus stop now. I wish you could be here and send me away. I want to confide in you," she asked sadly.

"Okay, don\'t go anywhere, I\'ll be there to meet you,"

Five minutes later, Andien arrived at the bus stop. There she saw her friend sitting down holding her face which was wet with tears.

Andien greeted her several times but the woman who sat at the bus stop did not pay any attention. Andien approached her slowly, she reached out and patted Lisa\'s shoulder gently.

"What\'s wrong with you, Lisa? You aren\'t injured anywhere right?"

Lisa lifted her face and looked at Andien with a pitiful look. Her hands washed the tears that had fallen into her cheeks. "Oscar...."

"Why? What happened to Oscar? Don\'t say you got beat up by your husband Lis!"

"No, Ndien, that\'s not it! It\'s Oscar\'s ex-girlfriend, Ndien! She keeps on reminding me and inviting me to meet earlier..." Lisa stopped her sentence and started sobbing again. She couldn\'t hold back her tears when she remembered Clara\'s sharp words.

"She told me… if… Oscar doesn\'t love me, Ndien! She told me that Oscar\'s love is fake!"

Andien hugged her friend tightly and calmed her down. "Lis, aren\'t you sadder than usual? As far as I know, the Lisa I know is strong and independent! How can you easily believe people\'s words? Especially from Oscar\'s ex-girlfriend?"

"She really is Oscar\'s ex Ndien! When my mother-in-law came a week ago, I heard she mentioned Clara\'s name several times, Ndien!"

"Clara, that little bitch really is looking for death! Lis, don\'t let yourself be crushed by a person like Clara! Who does she think she is for trying to meddle with your business with Oscar?"

"Ndien, you don\'t know this Clara is much better than me!"

Andien glared in amazement at the sentence her friend had just uttered. "How much better? Didn\'t you guys just meet just once? How come you judge her as good or bad!?"

"Ndien, Clara has white skin as well as a tall and slim body. Her face is beautiful too! She looked like Risa, the member of Black Purple! And me? I am, just like a pot\'s butt!"

Hearing that her friend was looking down on herself, Andien hit Lisa\'s head to make her aware. "The Lisa I know isn\'t this weak. Rise up, Lis! I know you are smart and beautiful. Trust me. If you weren\'t beautiful, Oscar wouldn\'t want to invite you to play in the Sky Lounge at that time!"

"You bitch, I was so drunk at that time! I\'m sure Oscar was just as drunk as me!"

"Lis, listen to me. What if you just think of Clara on Karina\'s level? They won\'t be able to match you no matter the angle! Believe me, Lis. Oscar still loves you! If Oscar doesn\'t love you, why did he invite you to vacation to Santorini yesterday?!"

"Syracuse Kali Ndien ..."

"Eh, Syracuse, I mean. Well, you have to believe in Lis! Oscar still loves you!"

Lisa was silent for a moment and thought more deeply. If Lisa was not pregnant with Oscar\'s child, would that golden haired man still want to marry her? Why was the doubt in her heart getting stronger every day? Lisa couldn\'t think straight that night. She cried again and thought about her future if Oscar really would divorce her.

"Ndien, Clara even swore to me that Oscar would divorce me. I have a feeling that it\'s really going to happen. I\'m really confused, Ndien! In the beginning, I didn\'t want to marry Oscar because it was so strange to have met and asked for marriage. After a long time, I fell in love with my husband. Isn\'t that weird !?"

"Yes, it\'s not strange, Lis! Duh! You\'re the strange one. It means your love with Oscar is fine! You love Oscar and vice versa. How else do I have to cheat you so you can listen to my words, Lis?"

Andien then held Lisa\'s cold, pale hand. Andien could only give her encouragement and support her friend to stay strong with the problems that have just happened to her.

"I really have a feeling that Clara did it, eh?"

"Please, Ndien. You don\'t help with my feelings!" Lisa exclaimed irritably. "I don\'t want to hear anything about Clara!"

"Oh, sorry, Lis. But really, if Clara is the culprit, you have to fight her Lis!" Andien brought her face closer to Lisa\'s. "You don\'t want your husband to fall into the hands of someone as Clara, right? You have to be able to keep your marriage with Oscar!"

"I don\'t know already. I\'ve been tired all day and met that bastard Clara!" Lisa crouched on the bus stop seat and lowered her head. It was getting late and the two women still hadn\'t returned from the bus stop.

"Lis, it\'s better if you just go back to your house. It\'s already late at night, it\'s dangerous to be alone with girls like this at the bus stop,"

Lisa looked up and got up from the metal seat of the bus stop, which was getting cold. She turned around and hugged her friend tightly. "Thank you, Ndien. You are the best. Hopefully my relationship with Oscar is fine!"

Andien nodded and smiled. The woman wiped the last tear that fell from Lisa\'s red eyes.

After the bus stop, they said goodbye to return to their respective residences. Tonight, Lisa decided to just take a taxi. She was too tired to wait for the busway.

"Just watch you Clara, I\'ll prove that Oscar still loves me!"
