Chapter 5

Charles Dominic, Jennifer Gracella's father, opened several businesses such as restaurants and cafes in several places in Jakarta. However, he remained focused with the 'King's Hotel' as his main venture. The reason, King's Hotel is a business that was pioneered for the first time. Without King's hotel, Charles Dominic wealth would not be what it is today.

That middle-aged man is not a smart man. It's just that he's very hardworking. He grabbed his position at the present point.

Alexander , knowing that, had already drawn up such a well-thought-out plan. He would build a more luxurious hotel, located not far from the King's Hotel.

According to the plan after marriage he immediately realized the construction of the hotel. He had handed over the work to a construction company owned by his best friend since living in America. Yes! Of course, because the design of the architect from the construction company, very much to his taste.

Morning.

Jennifer 's cell phone Alarm went off, she hurried up from her sleep. She turned off the alarm and returned to lie down with her body tilted toward her husband.

The man who was sleeping was indeed very handsome. White skin, thick eyebrows, a wide jaw and dimples made his look charismatic. The leaves that were allowed to grow. Jennifer was eager to try to touch him. However, she abandoned her intention. No! She didn't want to make a mistake.

Then Jennifer rushed over, getting out of her bed. She immediately took a shower, as usual. A morning shower could always restore her vigor.

Then, she hurried towards the kitchen. She Wanted to make chocolate for Alexander before he woke up.

Jennifer made chocolate at Desi's direction yesterday. She hoped Alexander would like it.

When she had already gotten of the room, Alexander was already awake.

"Morning, Honey, I brought you a warm chocolate?" Jennifer was bargaining. She walked up to the man.

Alexander took that cup. He drank it without saying much.

"Honey," Arlene called.

Alexander , turned around. He looked at her with one eye.

"Can I go to the bookstore today?" Jennifer asked.

"Sure, there are two bodyguards who will accompany you!" Alexander replied without hurting himself.

"Why should there be bodyguards, I can take care of myself!" Jennifer protested.

"Just agree! No need to protest!" he said with a loud voice.

"Okay," Jennifer replied.

The atmosphere was quiet again.

"What were you doing until late last night?" Jennifer asked them about Alexander .

"I am planning to build a hotel," Alexander replied kindly. His mood this morning was good.

"Good, I will always support you. If you need help, I'm here to help!" Jennifer said enthusiastically.

However, Alexander simply fascinated cynically. The woman herself would help him destroy her father's business.

"I'm going to take a shower now!" Alexander said, teased Jennifer .

"I will prepare warm water and clothes!" Jennifer replied cheerfully, not making the rule of Alexander a burden on her. The woman did it with pleasure, because of the love that was in the heart.

Alexander shook his head, annoyed! How could Jennifer do that with pleasure?

Jennifer opened the bathroom door. "Honey, the warm water is ready," she said with a smile on her lips.

Alexander went into the bathroom, not forgetting to close the door.

"Jennifer n!!" Alexander shouted from inside the bathroom.

Jennifer 's eyes widened, guessing what he had done wrong. Jennifer hurriedly put a black suit on the bed. Then, she walked towards the bathroom.

The bathroom door was opened. She found Alexander standing in the bathroom and already half naked. His shirt was off. His frightened expression looked towards the bottom of the sink.

"Why?"Jennifer asked, looking at him in amazement.

"Get that little animal out of here!" he asked.

Jennifer followed Alexander 's gaze. He found a cockroach under the sink.

Jennifer held back a laugh, it did not occur to her that Alexander was afraid of the insect.

"What are you laughing at! Get that bug out of here!" Alexander 's command was upset.

"Yes, My Dear," Arlene replied. She got out of the bath, in search of a broom. Then, she pulled the cockroach out of the bathroom.

Alexander went back his bathing ritual. Meanwhile, Jennifer decided to call Rena, an employee at her bookstore.

The phone call was connected.

"Hello," Rena said.

"Hello, Rin, I have a task for you!" Jennifer said.

"Yes, ma'am, what can I do for you?" she answered firmly.

"Please find a printing house or bookstore that still has a collection of newspapers in 2001 and 2002, huh?" Jennifer asked who did not get any answers on google search when finding out about Alexander 's parents.

"Okay, but it seems like it will be a little long because I have to call them one by one," Rena replied.

"Yes, it's okay, I will wait!"

"Yes, Ma'am!"

Click! The phone call ended.

Alexander came out of the shower with a towel wrapped around his waist.

"Who are you calling?" Alexander asked.

"My employee," he replied.

"You can go to the bookstore today, as long as you can go home before two, I don't want when my uncle and Aunt arrive here, you are not at home!" Alexander told.

"I'll be home before two in the afternoon," Arlene said.

Alexander began to put on his clothes one by one. Then he remembered the incident when Jennifer laughed at him earlier.

"Jennifer !" He called in a loud voice and frowned because he did not like the attitude of his wife.

"Yes, my dear," she replied softly. Alexander 's tone of voice implied that the man was angry.

"Why were you laughing at me? Hah!" Alexander protested while obeying in front of the mirror.

"No, I'm not laughing!" Arlene was avoiding it.

"Starting tonight, every time I take a shower, you have to make sure there are no bugs in the bathroom!" Alexander told.

"Yes," Arlene answered with a laugh. For her, Alexander , who was afraid of cockroaches, was really funny.

"How dare you repeat it again! What's funny is, I don't like cockroaches!" Alexander said in a louder voice.

"No, Honey!" Jennifer replied. "How could I dare to laugh at you!" She added.

"Never mind!" Alexander refocused his attention on his face in front of the mirror.

"Honey!" Jennifer called.

Alexander didn't answer, still annoyed that Jennifer dared to laugh at him.

"Honey!" Jennifer called him back.

"What the hell? You are noise!" Alexander was busy combing his hair back.

Jennifer again held back laughter to see Alexander who was preparing to leave the room.

"Honey!" Jennifer was calling in a louder voice now.

"Shut up! I don't want to hear you talk!" he snapped.

The man walked towards the door.

"Wait Baby! I just wanted to tell you that you're not wearing your pants yet!" Jennifer said and then closed her lips with a laugh.

Alexander stopped his steps, looking at himself. Already wearing a white shirt, a black suit complete with a tie, but he forgot to wear his trousers.

Alexander walked to the front of the dresser, then put on his trousers with lightning.

"Stop laughing or me?" Alexander looked threatening sarcastically at Jennifer .

Jennifer lowered her head to hold back the laughter as hard as she could.

Alexander came out of the room slamming the door with all his might. Jennifer immediately followed Alexander down not forgetting she was carrying her husband's briefcase.

While going down the stairs, Alexander thought about how to avenge what Jennifer 's just doing. How dare she laughed at him so many times.

He sat on the main seat of the dining table. He told the waiter to immediately bring the food that had been served back to the kitchen.

Jennifer reached the dining room.

"Haven't you cooked for me yet?" Alexander asked flatly.

"Isn't the waiter already cooking?" Jennifer protested.

"They haven't cooked yet, and I just want your cooking!" Alexander replied.

"Wait, in the rules of marriage I only cook on weekends!" Jennifer said obviously, getting reckless. She couldn't cook.

Alexander turned his gaze to his watch. There's still plenty of time for Jennifer . After all, he's the boss, it's okay to be late for work, or not to go to work at all.

"Make me some food, or I won't let you, out of the House today!" Alexander said full of undeniable emphasis.

"But ..., " Jennifer protested.

"Nothing but! Hurry up to cook now! I'll be waiting for him!" the man said, mastering the emotions of the interlocutor.

"Okay," Jennifer replied. "What should I cook?" Jennifer was bargaining.

"Whatever, I can eat anything!" The answer was relaxed accompanied by a satisfied expression. His brain worked very smoothly when thinking about shunning his wife.

Jennifer went to the kitchen. The room was empty. She didn't know if all the maids were there. Alexander , might get them out of there.

Jennifer opened the refrigerator. She took vegetables and chicken. The vegetables would be cooked in the soup, and the chicken would be made into fried chicken. It's simple because anyone can cook it.

Meanwhile, Alexander told Faris that he would be leaving late today, and was absent from the meeting this morning.

Within thirty minutes, Jennifer cooked, she made soup, and fried chicken. With confidence, the woman served it to the husband.

"Please eat," Jennifer offered. Then, she prepared a plate along with a spoon, and a fork.

"Have you forgotten that I've lived in America for 18 years? I'm not used to eating breakfast like this! It can make me sick to my stomach and not work all day!" Alexander said while glancing at the food menu served by his wife.

Jennifer gasped, gulping. She was sad, but she tried to cook as much as she could. However, Alexander had no intention of tasting it at all.

"I'm going to work now!" Alexander said standing up. He took the bag and just left. That's exactly what Jennifer was feeling right now.

Jennifer sat in her chair. She ate the soup and fried chicken she had just cooked. Her chest was heavy. She felt something was wrong with her marriage. Yes! Alexander is not who he was before they got married.

Jennifer 's phone ringing. A phone call from Rena. The woman breathed a long sigh of relief, a feeling of tightness in the chest.

"Hello, Ren," Jennifer said .

"Hello . Will you come to the store?" Rena asked on the other end of the phone.

"I'll be there soon," she replied.

"I've contacted several people who might be able to help us, to get what Ms. Jennifer is looking for!" Rena told.

"Where can we get it!?" Jennifer asked enthusiastically.

"Most of our fellow bookstores and print shops only kept newspapers for a maximum of ten years before, or around 2010. For newspapers in the 2000s we can look to the newspaper directly, " Rena explained. The employee was always agile.

"Alright, it's okay I'll try to get it!" Jennifer had always been unyielding.

"Are you sure Mrs Jenn,? That means Miss Jennifer is going to see Brandon!" Rena told me.

"If I had to, I wouldn't mind meeting that man!" Jennifer took a deep breath and thought about Brandon, her ex-boyfriend.

"Okay, I will let you know if there is any news," Rena said.

"Yes,"

Click

The phone call ended.

Jennifer fell silent, staring blankly at her plate. Bad memories of Brandon, reappeared in her head.

Brandon Aiden, 29 years old. Son of the conglomerate. Including the rulers of the media and newspapers. He was the son of one of the owners of the TV station, he is the only heir.

The man had been in a relationship with Jennifer for four years. They loved each other, cherished and adored each other. It was planned that this year they would continue the relationship to a more serious level.

However, all that was memories. Because, exactly on their fourth year, their anniversary, Jennifer , received a photo that tore her heart to shreds.

She didn't know who sent that photo. What was clear was that the photo managed to make Jennifer hurt and angry. She didn't want to see Brandon again.

In the photo, Brandon was sleeping and next to him was a naked woman hugging him. Jennifer , so angry and devastated to see her.

From that moment on Jennifer decided to end her relationship with Brandon and would not see the man again. Would Jennifer go to Brandon for information about Alexander ?

To be continue.
