The clock had already shown at half-five in the afternoon when Iriana woke up from her sleep, the woman changed her position to sit down, her bluish ash bead was observing around like she was looking for something.
Long enough the beautiful woman fell silent, before finally getting up and getting into the bathroom to clean up.
Thirty minutes passed, as usual Iriana came out using only a bathrobe and then stepped towards the walk in closet, changing her clothes with a sea-blue knee-length dress.
Somehow he really wants to wear the dress, but all this time he will only wear women's clothes if attending certain events only.
Crewman
Iriana held her stomach that had just sounded loud for a sign to be filled, after remembering she had missed her lunch earlier, so no wonder if her stomach worms had been protesting for intake.
" Your food is ready Madam" Joe said as he watched his young mistress climb down the stairs.
" Where is William?" iriana asked as she walked towards the dining room followed by Joe behind her.
" Lord in the study." Joe replied with a brief nod of his head by Iriana.
" Leave me alone, I'm not comfortable if anyone notices me while eating." she said.
He was not used to the presence of many servants lined up neatly around the dining table, even though they all lowered their heads and did not dare to raise their heads but still Iriana felt uncomfortable and did not like it.
Joe who understood also gave the code to the maids to go from there, after everything went Iriana also started eating.
" Has William eaten?" On the sidelines of her meal Iriana asked the still loyal Joe standing behind her.
" It's Madam." despite being initially surprised to hear Iriana's question indicating that the woman was beginning to care for her Master, Joe nevertheless replied with lips that reviewed a faint smile.
After eating her food, Iriana returned to the room to pick up her phone, The plan after this is that she will go to see Victor.
However, she felt the need to explain her marriage to her best friend, in her heart was tucked guilt on Victor especially on Taomasa and Lily, but Iriana had no other choice, circumstances gave him no choice at the time, as he decided to hide everything.
" Nrgh!! Where's my phone!" iriana fumed when she could not find her phone.
He also opened the nightstand drawer next to the bed but still did not meet, while busy rummaging through the room, his hand accidentally nudged the small box on the dresser until the black box fell to the floor.
Iriana's attention was diverted to the box, he immediately took the box and opened it.
" What is this?" Iriana stared at the astonished piece of paper that was neatly folded inside.
Feeling curious he then unfolded the paper and read it carefully and how surprised Iriana when she saw her name printed on the letter that turned out to contain the results of her health report.
There it was written that she was pregnant, Iriana really could not control her surprise, her legs suddenly limp until her body sat on a small makeup chair beside her.
" Having?" Maria touched her stomach with trembling hands.
His gaze blankly stared at the paper still in his left hand, his mind and heart raging, the shadow of his first night with William again spinning in his brain.
What she had feared for so long had finally happened as well, she was pregnant with the flesh and blood of William, the man who would only be her husband for one year according to the initial agreement.
" That means when I'm in country A...." iriana's brain again bogged down on the day that she performed the pregnancy test using the testpek but she refused to see the results because she was sure that at that time she was not pregnant and only came late for months.
Unknowingly a drop of tears came out from Iriana's beautiful eyes, the woman cried as she squeezed the letter in her hand.
She was confused as to how, she could not bear to eliminate her own child but she also could not accept the presence of the fetus that was currently developing in her womb.
Iriana could not imagine the fate of her son in the future if she and William divorced, it would be very painful for their child.
" No! this must be wrong" Iriana's head looked up, one of her hands removing the rough tears that were soaking her cheeks.
His heart still could not accept the reality before hearing the explanation from William because Iriana sure William knew about this, for the letter could not have been in their room if it had not been her or her husband who had kept it.
With a rumbling chest holding back her emotions, Iriana stepped into William's study with a letter from the hospital declaring herself pregnant.
But her footsteps stopped in front of the slightly open door when she heard the voice of her husband talking to Kendrick.
" Good sir, but when will you keep this from the Madam? how will her gestational age continue to grow and her stomach will get bigger as time goes on?" Kendrick ventured to ask that.
According to him, if Iriana knew it would be a little help to the safety of Iriana herself because the woman would definitely be more careful if she knew that she was pregnant.
" Not now Kend, I'm afraid she'll reject that fetus and end up acting recklessly, I don't want to lose them." lirih William who can still be heard by Iriana who was clenching her hands behind the door.
As her breath began to drift away from William's door, Iriana felt very angry and disappointed, because to her William was too selfish to have kept this big a secret from her.
Even so angry that Iriana did not criticize Joe who forbade him out of the Mansion, the bodyguards who tried to hold him were threatened with death if they did not let him out.
As a result, the Bodyguard was very forced to let Iriana go by driving one of William's cars.
Iriana stepped on the gas pedal of the car at high speed, several times the woman screamed hysterically while hitting the car's steering forcefully.
" Aaarrgghhhh." cried Iriana for the umpteenth time, hoping that his anger could be ventured by shouting.
The car that Iriana was driving drove towards the mansion, right now all she needed was a warm hug from Taomasa and Lily.
Taomasa and Lily arrive in country B two days before Iriana and William return from Oman. Robert and Rabecca also come back to country B, they also need an explanation from Iriana about her marriage to William.
" Miss Ana." Justin who was about to leave the mansion was surprised when he saw the arrival of Iriana especially looking at the eyes of his beloved grandson.
Without caring about Justin, Iriana hurriedly entered the house and immediately rushed into the arms of Taomasa who was gathered in the family room with his wife, son and daughter-in-law.
" What's up, baby?" Taomasa who got a hug suddenly felt confused but still returned the embrace of Iriana.
Iriana's crying broke in Taomasa's arms, leaving Lily, Robert, Rabecca and Justin in a panic.
" Dear, tell Mommy what's going on?" Rabecca is about to get close but is prevented by Lily.
" Let Mommy." Lily tried to calm Rabecca down.
Rabecca nodded her head in understanding, she did not want to make Iriana hate her even more so she tried to refrain from imposing the situation.
A gentle and affectionate rub, Lilyana gave it to Iriana's head, they all fell silent long enough to let Iriana let out her tears.
For twenty minutes they waited until finally Iriana's cry subsided, the woman began to break her arms and stared alternately at Taomasa and Lily.
" I'm sorry Ana" he said in a raucous voice.
" We know you have your own reasons for choosing to hide this from us, but may we know that reason now?" lily said softly she thought that Iriana was crying because she felt guilty for hiding her marriage.
Iriana nods then tells all the demands of the story of the beginning of her meeting with William until they get married and also the reason why Iriana chose to hide all this from Taomasa and Lily.
" I wasn't ready to accept Grandpa's and Grandma's anger at the time, thinking I'd finish one year of our marriage without telling you and end up with no problems but it turns out.." Adriana was unable to continue her words and only tears returned to flow freely out.
" I'm sorry." Iriana again.
Taomasa shook his head and rubbed Iriana's cheek gently.
" You're not wrong, we're wrong for keeping a big secret about our lives from you, if I had told you everything, maybe none of this would have happened, you won't be considered a spy by William and he won't force you to marry him." Taomasa.
There was clearly a deep sense of regret and willingness from the look in his eyes.
" What your Grandpa said is true, dear.We are guilty of keeping our real identities a secret from you, and therefore you were almost killed by Charlos and Zavier." Lily said.
They already know the reason Iriana wanted to join A country with Axe at that time because they wanted to know the real identity of Robert and Rabecca.
Now it was Iriana's turn to shake her head, " Ana was sure you guys were doing it for my good and safety, so Grandpa and Grandma didn't have to apologize."
After saying that Iriana again hugged Taomasa and Lily simultaneously, making Robert and Rabecca who saw her could only resist the urge to hug their little daughter.
