Stuck In The Wrong Marriage

Happy Reading….

A few weeks later….

“Are you sure you want to accompany me?” Jayden asked Elena who was helped his put up tie.

“Of course, honey. I want to see for myself that you finally divorce Hera,” said Elena, unable to hide her happiness. The wait for more than a year waiting for Jayden to divorce Hera is over.

Today they were going to have a trial and Elena didn’t want to miss the chance to see it for herself.

“Okay, if that’s what you want,” Jayden said, caressing Elena’s cheek after she finished putting on his suit.

The newlywed couple immediately rushed to the court. They arrived first. Followed by Jane and several other relatives who came to support Jayden. They still don’t know the truth. Jayden’s family still thinks that this divorce happened because of Hera’s infidelity.

Hera’s own family no longer bothered to explain everything. After all, after this divorce they will not have any relationship anymore.

It didn’t take long for the one they had been waiting for to arrive. Hera Altezza who was accompanied by a lawyer and Haidar. No relatives accompanying her. There are only three of them. Sneaks and curses rang in Hera’s ears as she walked towards her place. But as deaf, Hera did not care at all. The woman in the knee-length dress continued to walk upright without looking back. She didn’t even notice that a man who was about five meters away was staring in awe.

‘Why does Hera look prettier?’ Jayden thought.

Hera let her hair grow longer. Unraveled and colored in a light brown color. A light brush of make-up makes her face look fresher and more radiant. It’s a mature aura that emanates to make all eyes stunned. The woman’s body also looks fuller, making the dress she wears tight, showing her curves.

Jayden couldn’t take his eyes off him until he was awakened by a man’s voice telling him the judge was coming.

The trial went smoothly with the final decision that Hera and Jayden had officially divorced and Juan’s custody remained with Hera.

Hera breathed a sigh of relief as she smiled happily.

“Congratulations, Mrs. Hera. In the end, everything went according to plan,” said the lawyer who accompanied Hera, holding out his hand.

“This is thanks to your help. Thank you,” Hera said sincerely, shaking the man’s hand.

The black eye then turned to look at Haidar. The man nodded slowly and then raised his thumb. There was a feeling of pride towards the woman he loved. Hera is really very strong because she can get through all the trials that befall her repeatedly. Seeing Hera smile like that made Haidar promise himself that he would not make that smile disappear.

Hera was about to go to Haidar but stopped when someone called out to her.

“Hera!”ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

The woman turned around. Put on a flat face. “What is it?” she asked.

“According to the agreement … I’ll still see Juan whenever I want. He’s still my son after all,” Jayden said with his haughty tone. Hera snorted. Really Jayden is really shameless. Talking like that as if he hadn’t done anything wrong to Hera.

“Sure. You can come see him. I’m not a person who likes to keep promises. You calm down,” Hera sneered which instantly made Jayden’s jaw harden. Especially when he saw Haidar approaching them and holding Hera’s hand. They smiled at each other not caring if the man in front of them was burning with anger … or maybe jealous?

The tension grew even more when Elena also came there. Wrapped her arm around Jayden’s arm.

“In the end, victory was on my side huh, Hera?” said Elena arrogantly.

But Hera’s expression didn’t match Elena’s expectations. The woman smiled without showing an annoyed face.

“Yes. Think of it as a victory for you because in the end you can be with the person you love,” said Hera. “But I didn’t lose either, Elena. I also won this battle.”

Both of them; Elena and Jayden, stunned. Trying to digest what Hera’s words meant.

“Then we say goodbye,” said Hera, glancing at Haidar. “Come on!”

The man just nodded, glancing at Elena and Jayden before walking away with his hand still intertwined with Hera’s.

Hera took a deep breath after getting into Haidar’s car. It really made her muscles cramp. So tense.

“You did well, Hera.”

Hera couldn’t lie, Haidar’s touch on her shoulder gave her positive energy that made her feel calmer.

“Thank you for accompanying me until now, Haidar,” Hera said sincerely.

“You’re welcome, Hera. Whatever it is if it’s for you,” Haidar replied making both of them smile.

Haidar’s role in helping Hera to get away from Jayden was really big. Even Hera couldn’t imagine if Haidar wasn’t around she might still be trapped in that miserable marriage.

Ask about the extent of their relationship? Neither Haidar nor Hera knew how to describe it. Both are comfortable with this kind of relationship. No demands and no strings attached. They just make each other happy. Only that.

Maybe Hera was comfortable with this kind of relationship but not with Haidar. To this day, the man still hopes that one day Hera will give clarity to their relationship.

Marriage, for example.

***

The house that was occupied by Hera is now occupied by Jayden and Elena. The woman decided to just rent out her house and stay at Jayden’s. Actually it was also at Jayden’s request for reasons of wedding preparations. They will find it easier to organize everything together.

But after today, there was a slight gap in Jayden’s heart. Is he really ready to marry Elena and let Hera go completely? He don’t know, Jayden himself was confused. Even more confusing for Jayden, why did Hera look fine?

Not even the slightest look of frustration Jayden had hoped for.

“Didn’t I take all her possessions? Then why did it turn out like this?” Jayden grumbled in deep thought.

Is this Haidar’s doing?

“Looks like I missed something important.” After saying those words, Jayden reached into his cell phone. Call Roy.

“Hello, Roy,” Jayden called impatiently.

“Yes, Mr. Jayden. What’s wrong?” asked Roy on the other end of the phone.

“Hurry up and investigate what Hera and Haidar are doing. Find out everything about them. Don’t miss a thing,” Jayden ordered emphatically.

“Okay, Mr. Jayden.”

Roy wouldn’t have asked if Jayden had given him an assignment. It doesn’t matter who it’s related to. Jayden’s orders were absolute for Roy. He didn’t even care about his tiredness and fear. Because Roy knew, an angry Jayden was scarier.

“I have to do it quickly. Before I end up like Mr. Elvis,” said Roy before walking into his car. Leaving the apartment building area at Alatha Center.
