Chap 51
jessica’s sincerity
“I don’t know what you meant, yesterday?”Arsene asked as he took a sip of bitter coffee to relieve his sleepiness this afternoon. Last night he couldn’t sleep well. Often woke up because he kept thinking about his boss’s words.
“Which of my words?”Lexi asked me for the first time not to eat lunch at home, because Jessica was invited by her mom to attend a meal with her socialite gang.
“Is it true that you only pretend to love Miss Jessica?” he investigated. He hadn’t yet told Kania about the plan with Arvel which failed completely because Lexi only pretended about his feelings for Jessica.
“Yes.”Lexi said obviously.
“Sir, isn’t that too much? You’re just playing with Miss Jessica’s feelings. What is your purpose?” He looked closely at his boss.
“My dad already knew about my contract marriage with Jessica. Anyway, even if I don’t love Jessica I must have a baby. At least, I have to give grandchildren to my parents,” Lexi replied.
“Then?” Arsene asked while massaging his forehead then closed his eyes. He couldn’t believe what Lexi was going to say.
“Yes, I want to give grandchildren to them, but my heart cannot be forced! I don’t love Jessica! And this is the only way for me to have a baby,” Lexi said confidently.
“By lying to Miss Jessica and gave her false hope?” Arsene almost yelled. If not in a public place, he might have yelled at his boss.
Lexi nodded her head.
“You have sinned, Sir! Once you have successfully got Ricardo Group’s heir, you will just throw Miss Jessica away!’ he shook his head resignedly. Lexi was already similar to a banana tree, having a heart but no heart.
“Who said I would dump Jessica! This is the only way I can always be with Jessica! With a child between us, it won’t be that easy for Jessica to walk away from me even if the contract ends!” Lexi explained. He did not need to tell all his plans. It was clear that Arsene was on Jessica’s side.
“It’s absurd Sir, you don’t love Miss Jessica but you want to live forever with her!” Arsene protested. The coffee he sipped tasted bitter more and more.
“I really don’t love her!” Lexi reiterated his feelings for Jessica.
“How do you know if you don’t love Miss Jessica? Mr. Lexi Ricardo!” Arsene emphasized his voice. Lexi felt jealous and unwilling for another man to approach Jessica, but he still claimed that he was not in love with his wife.
“I told you, I just pretended to love her! I have to repeat it so many times for you to understand!” Lexi drank his espresso. “Let’s go back to the office!” he added.
Arsene’s face was wrinkled. He didn’t know why Lexi couldn’t be with Jessica. His heart would have been broken if Lexi had only pretended to love him.

“My Jessica, I’m leaving for work right now! I’m going to the project that you and Arvel went to yesterday,” Lexi said goodbye. He was standing right in front of the wife. He didn’t think it would be so easy to get Jessica’s heart.
“May I come?” Jessica asked. Her arms wrapped around her husband’s neck. “I really want to be with you. “All day long,” she said.
These days Lexi always treated her like a princess. Naturally, if it was only a matter of a few days Jessica, who had never had any experience with the opposite sex, was brought to his knees with all the seduction from Lexi.
“Sure.” Even if it was just pretending. Jessica’s two eyes always soothing and irresistible. Furthermore, if you remember last night’s incident, Jessica always carried out her duties as a wife very well.
“Alright, I’ll change my clothes now!”Jessica is happy. Honestly, when Lexi worked at his office, Jessica was always waiting for him to come back home. In fact, Jessica often sent messages about her longing for her husband.
“Don’t forget to wear a long-sleeved top! Let me pick!” Lexi walked to the wardrobe.
“I can choose it myself,” Jessica stood in line. A trifle but it was something romantic.
“I’ll do it!” Then, Lexi chose jeans and a rayon long-sleeved top that was comfortable to wear during the day for her wife.
“Honey, you go down first, I’ll change,” Jessica said. She was embarrassed to be naked in front of her husband.
“No, I’ll wait for you here!” he stayed. “I’ll change your clothes if I have to!” Lexi seduced Jessica. He sat on the edge of the bed and his wife stood right in front of him with both hands holding the clothes he had chosen.
“No, if you don’t go, it could be a whole day in the room like last Sunday!” Jessica said. Lexi’s gaze, that looked in her eyes. Jessica already knew by heart when both of her husband’s fiery eyeballs stared at her body.
“No, I promise!” Lexi wrapped both hands around Jessica’s waist. He hugged her, and smelled her scent. “I’m just going to take off your shirt and change it with the one I’ve chosen!”
Jessica nodded in agreement.
‘Wait, I was pretending but why should I be happy when Jessica agreed to it! There must be something wrong with me!’ Lexi immediately dismissed the absurd thoughts that tickled his head.
Lexi’s hand was outstretched. He started unraveling Jessica’s pants slowly, he began to change into the jeans he had chosen earlier. Then, he began to take off the apparel.
“what do you see?” Jessica asked as Lexi stared at her chest area and did not immediately change her clothes.
“No, I just want to ‘skip it’ I prefer the night!” He said. Although he didn:t love Jessica, his wife’s body has become his own opium for him.
“Why?”Jessica hook. She was completely happy because of her innocence and had just fallen in love for the first time in her life. Jessica no longer cared that Lexi was the man who had robbed her of her honor. This man is also now her husband.
Lexi did not answer. He put on apparel for Jessica, then ended the ritual of changing his wife’s clothes by landing a kiss on the lips, long and deep. What a ritual that could make him work with passion all day.
Then, they went downstairs with happy smiles adorning each other’s faces.

Lexi sat behind the wheel while Jessica sat beside him. The car drove at medium speed towards the project site located in West Jakarta.
Throughout the way to his project site, Jessica looked at Lexi more often than did busy with her phone or looking out the window car to observe the streets.
In less than an hour they arrived at a fairly large land with a strategic location. The car stopped in the parking area next to the building.
“We have arrived.”
Lexi got out of the car first. Then, he walked to open the car door for Jessica.
Just one week from the first time, Jessica came. Not much change, Jessica observed a fairly large building. The visible skeleton of a high-rise building.
Jessica followed Lexi. She remembered Lexi’s word to call him brother, and it was better not to say much. Their marital status was still a secret. Lexi was not convinced yet and has no intention of publishing it anytime soon.
A well-dressed man approached Lexi and gave 2 yellow helmets. Earlier, Lexi had told them that they would come along with her cousin.
“Please wear it, Lady! Safety First are the most important!”Mr. Kardi said friendly.
“Thank you sir.”This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.
Lexi asked a few questions to Mr. Kardi, who is the foreman of the project, while Jessica looked up to observe the newly half-finished building. When she came with Arvel last week, she did not have time to see or enter. However, now when she came with Lexi, she had the opportunity to observe closely. It was very challenging for her.
“Be careful Jess! Stay away!” Lexi said.
“Yes.” Jessica, who was not far from Lexi, could only obey. “I didn’t go far,” she replied. Jessica looked up and continued to observe the worker who had just started his work.
Then, her gaze was fixed on a fairly large wooden board, the board almost fell.
“Honey!” Jessica screamed, pushing Lexi’s body away.
Then.
Lexi was pushed forward and fell, while a large wooden board fell on Jessica’s back, rendering her unconscious.
Mr. Kardi and several employees who saw immediately ran over. They got rid of the wooden board that fell on her. From the outside there were no significant injuries. However, Jessica remained unconscious.
Lexi immediately got up. He ran to his wife. “Jessica woke up,” Lexi patted her cheek and shook her wife’s body. “Jessica,” Lexi called over and over again, but his wife still didn’t respond.
“Call an ambulance right now!” Lexi shouted, very worried.
Mr. Kardi grabbed his phone and immediately called an ambulance.
“Jessica my dear wake up, Jessica!”Lexi kept patting Jessica on the cheek, he didn’t want anything bad to happen to her.
However, Jessica didn’t react at all.
“Sir, an ambulance is on its way here, probably 15 minutes before it arrives!” Mr. Kardi said to pay attention to Jessica’s condition.
Jessica was still unconscious. Lexi immediately took her to the car. “Mr. Kardi, please take the car, Take Me and Jessica to the hospital, right now!” he said.
“Yes Sir.”
Mr. Kardi hurried over, sitting behind the wheel while Jessica, who was currently on Lexi’s lap, sat in the back seat.
Lexi’s worried face was clear. He kept calling his wife’s name. He hoped Jessica wasn’t hurt.
