My Husband's False Love

The room looked very messy. With sheets and pillows that were already shapeless. In fact, the contents of the pillow had scattered out to nowhere.

There was also glass on the dressing table that had been shattered into pieces. And that was the result of a woman who was now sitting on the edge of the bed while crying bitterly.

"Ariana, come out first, honey! Listen to what Daddy says first!" pleaded a middle-aged man outside the door of a girl named Ariana Wilson.

The middle-aged man sat on his wheelchair as he continued to type on the door of the princess's room.

"No! I won't open it unless Daddy lets me marry Jeff!" Ariana shouted angrily from inside the room.

Ariana Wilson, a beautiful woman who will turn 22 this year. She fought with her Daddy, Sander. For not allowing her to marry the man of her dreams, Jeff. A selfish woman who is only concerned with herself and because of this decision also makes her experience bitterness in life.

"If Daddy doesn't want to. Fine, I'll just kill myself!" Ariana threatened.

Sander, who heard this, became afraid. He was afraid that his only daughter would do something stupid.

Ariana was ready with the cutter in her hand.

"Okay. All right, Daddy will allow you to marry Jeff." Sander replied resignedly and gave in to the wishes of his beloved daughter.

Krikk

The door to the room swung open to reveal Ariana with her hair in disarray and her face pale from not eating for the past three days. Ever since Sander refused to accept Malik as his son-in-law.

"Thanks, Daddy!" Ariana exclaimed happily while hugging Sander happily.

"You're welcome, sweetheart." Sander replied. However, he could never let his daughter leave him first. It was enough that his wife had gone to the Creator first.

"But, we have to eat now!" Sander ordered.

"Okay. Ready Bosque!" said Ariana.

Finally, a month after the incident. Ariana and Jeff were officially married. In fact, all of Sander's wedding expenses were covered. Sander is the CEO of a cooking oil company that he manages for generations from his family. In fact, he also has hectares of oil palm land. Not to mention various assets abroad.

Ariana looks very beautiful in an ivory white dress that wraps her slim body. Not only that, Jeff was also very handsome with a luxurious tuxedo suit in the same color as Ariana's dress.

They were both so busy greeting the invited guests from the aisle. Seeing Ariana's happy face made Sander smile.

"Sir, is your action not reckless? Marrying Ariana off to a poor man like him?" asked a man younger than Sander, Alex. Sander's family lawyer.

"To see my daughter happy. I'll do anything, she's all I have in this world. I hope her husband can be a good leader in their household. It doesn't matter if he's poor, we can help him anyway, right?" Sander told Alex.

"You're right, sir." Alex replied simply.

On the other hand, a group of mothers in their tacky clothes approached a middle-aged woman standing next to Jeff. That is, Roselina. Jeff's biological mother and Ariana's mother-in-law as well.

"Ihh... Congratulations, you already have a son-in-law. So rich... !" praised the mother with her big bun as she gazed at the lavish decorations of the wedding hall.

Roselina just smiled. "You guys...," said the full-bodied woman.

"Yes. You're lucky, you know how much the Wilson family has." said one of the tall thin women whose face looked sunken. There was an air of haughtiness and arrogance about her.

"I envy you. Roselina has a rich son-in-law, so she can always buy brandid goods easily." Said another woman with glasses and a fat body wearing expensive clothes.

"I'm not looking for that, as long as my son loves her it's fine with me. " Roselina replied briefly.

"You're no fun!" exclaimed the fat woman wearing the kebaya.

***

The program was over and now it was time for Ariana and Malik to board the luxury sports car given to them by Sander as their wedding gift.

"Congratulations on your wedding, darling." said Sander kissing his daughter on the forehead.

"Thank you, Daddy." replied Ariana hugging her beloved father.

"Please take good care of Ariana, Jeff." Sander asked his son-in-law as he held both shoulders of Jeff, who was squatting in front of Sander in his wheelchair.

"Of course, Daddy. I will take care of Ariana with all my heart and soul. There's no way I could have prepared a woman as good as her." Jeff said firmly.

Sander wiped away his tears by hugging Jeff briefly.

Soon the sports car driven by Jeff for his honeymoon left the wedding hall. Accompanied by the waving hands of the invited guests and friends and relatives.

Ariana and Jeff will start with their honeymoon vacation.

A hotel door opened with a very eye-catching appearance. A luxurious hotel with a view of the beach at night. On the bed were some roses that had been shaped into 'Love', adding to the romantic atmosphere of the night.

"Please come in, my princess!" said Jeff gently pulling Ariana's hand.

Ariana blushed with embarrassment at what Jeff had just done. Without further ado Jeff immediately carried Ariana's body bridal style and laid her gently on the embossed bed along with the red roses on it.

"Who made all this?" asked Ariana.

"Who else do you think?" asked Jeff naughtily.

"You little brat!" said Ariana shyly.

"What's wrong with being naughty with your own wife?" said Jeff, giving his wife a wink.

Jeff slowly caressed Ariana's face and started to give her a soft peck on the lips. The kiss that was initially slow turned into a fast one as Jeff's hand began to slowly unzip Ariana's wedding dress.

The kiss that started on the lips slowly began to descend on Ariana's long and white neck. Jeff began to hurriedly take off his clothes and began to pull the blanket up to cover their bodies which were now without a single thread.

"Now?" asked Jeff softly with his breath caught in his throat.

Ariana nodded slowly. Jeff kissed Ariana gently on the forehead and began his next task.

And what a night in paradise it was for the newly married couple.

"Thank you baby." Jeff said hugging Ariana's body from behind in a lying position. Occasionally the man kissed Ariana's benders.

There was no answer. Jeff began to peek at his wife. "Oh my, it turns out you're already asleep hehe," Jeff murmured seeing Ariana already fast asleep.

To be continued...

Chapter 2: Tania Albert

Ariana and Jeff found themselves aboard a luxurious business-class flight. The atmosphere inside the airplane cabin is so calm and peaceful. Of course, this is high-class, only important people can book this place.

Ariana had so much fun on this trip. It was her dream to be able to go out with the man she liked freely without having to be secretive like before. While Sander did not approve of their relationship.

"Where are we going, anyway? Why are we traveling abroad like this?" Jeff asked, genuinely curious.

Their post-marriage plans had not involved taking a plane; they had only planned a honeymoon around Europe.

"Surprise!!" Ariana exclaimed with a joyful expression.Jeff looked at Ariana, puzzled.

"We're honeymooning in Portugal!" Ariana announced."Are you serious?" Jeff asked in disbelief, shifting in his seat to face Ariana.

"Of course," Ariana nodded.Jeff was overjoyed. Portugal had always been his dream destination, especially since it was the home country of one of his favorite football players, Cristiano Ronaldo.

Jeff immediately hugged his wife tightly, brimming with happiness.

"Thank you, darling, for going to all this trouble."

Said Jeff who was so happy. He had wanted to go there for a long time, but the cost of airplanes and expensive travel discouraged him.

"For my husband, there's nothing I wouldn't do," Ariana replied with a sweet smile.

"How about we... you know, here on the plane?" Jeff teased.

Ariana glanced around nervously. "Oh, come on! You're so naughty, suggesting that.

Doing it on a plane? What if a flight attendant walks by?

"In her heart, though, she secretly desired it. The first time she and Jeff had done it together had been incredibly satisfying, especially considering her husband's prowess.

"But it's private, and no one will know," Jeff pointed out with a mischievous grin.

Ariana's face displayed a mix of confusion, torn between agreeing to her husband's unusual request or not.Seeing Ariana's amusing expression, Jeff burst into laughter.

"Come on, what's with that face?"

"Hahaha... you're so funny, and here I was, thinking you were serious, my love," Ariana quipped.

Fortunately, their section of the cabin was empty, sparing them from the annoyance of Jeff's laughter disturbing other passengers.

Ariana was annoyed, realizing her husband had been teasing her. Quickly, she pulled Jeff's shirt collar and began kissing him erotically. Jeff got carried away with the moment.

"Are you sure about this here?" Jeff asked, gazing at Ariana with pleading eyes.

"Absolutely. It's payback for you teasing me!" Ariana retorted firmly.

Just as things heated up between them, a sudden tapping sound caught Ariana's attention. She stopped kissing Jeff and hastily began to tidy up her appearance.Jeff was left bewildered as Ariana abruptly halted their moment.

"Why did you..."He was interrupted as a flight attendant approached.

"Choose whatever you like!" the beautiful flight attendant with a hint of an Indian accent said, her expression somewhat stern, like a café waitress.

Jeff looked at the flight attendant, not pleased with her attitude.

"What's with this girl? Is she tired of being a flight attendant or something?" Jeff thought.

The flight attendant rolled a trolley filled with an assortment of snacks and drinks.

"Don't be so grumpy. I know you're still single, so don't be envious," Ariana remarked, her face unimpressed.

"Don't act like you know everything," the flight attendant replied curtly.

"Please, give me a bag of potato chips," Ariana requested while casually flipping through a magazine in her lap.

The flight attendant handed the chips to Ariana. Jeff couldn't contain himself any longer.

"Why are you so irritating? You didn't even tell me you were getting married, let alone invite me. And now, you're on your honeymoon on this plane!" the flight attendant complained.

Jeff was taken aback for a moment, wondering if his wife and the flight attendant were friends.

"Hehe... of course, I did it on purpose. Besides, I told you I was getting married, but you wouldn't have come anyway, right?" Ariana replied, looking at the name tag of the woman in front of her.

Tania Albert, a beautiful woman, tall and slender, was an old friend of Ariana's from their time studying in Australia.

"Well, you can see for yourself. Working as a flight attendant keeps me busy, and I might only go home once a year," Tania said.

"All right, all right. But you could take a break, couldn't you?" Ariana replied, observing that Jeff remained silent.

"Here, let me introduce you to my husband, Jeff. And Jeff, this is Tania, my friend from our time studying in Australia," Ariana said.

Jeff and Tania exchanged introductions, each explaining who they were.

"How come I never knew about having a friend in Australia?" Jeff wondered, as he had never met Tania before.

"You obviously wouldn't know. She's usually inside an airplane. I even offered her a job at my dad's company, but she refused and chose to attend flight attendant school instead," Ariana replied.

Tania just grinned and said, "It's called pursuing one's dreams."

"Tania came from a humble family and had even earned a full scholarship to study in Australia.Finally, they arrived at a 5-star hotel that Ariana had booked long before their marriage.

"How do you like the room's view?" Ariana asked with a sweet smile to her husband."Of course, dear.

Thank you for making my dream come true," Jeff said, kissing Ariana's forehead gently."Thank you. As long as it's a gift from you, I'm happy," Ariana reassured Jeff.

Regardless of the price, Ariana accepted everything about Jeff, even though he was just an ordinary factory worker in her family's company.She liked Jeff's personality. He was hardworking, smart and brave. Although the man was handsome, he didn't feel prestigious if he had to work only as a laborer in the factory owned by Wilson Corp.

"Thank you, darling. I promise to love you forever, even when we're old and gray, and even when we go to meet our maker," Jeff vowed, kissing Ariana's forehead sincerely.

To be continued...

***

Ariana woke up from her sleep and began to blink her eyes. She glanced at her empty bed.

She always woke up late again. She had been married to Jeff for almost a year. However, her bad behavior was very difficult to change. Plus he often works overtime these days.

The woman hurriedly washed her face and then immediately rushed down the stairs in the new house she now shared with her husband and mother-in-law.

"Come on Ariana, let's have breakfast!" said Roselina, Ariana's mother-in-law when she saw her standing in the kitchen doorway.

Jeff also turned to Ariana, "Here I made your favorite sausage fried eggs and fried rice." Jeff said.

Ariana walked in with a bent face, "Sorry, Mom... I woke up late again!" said Ariana feeling guilty.

"It's okay, honey. You're tired from work, so understand." said Jeff encouraging his wife.

"I have no problem making breakfast for you guys. After all, I don't have anything to do, right..." said Roselina.

"Just being given to live with you guys here makes me happy." said Roselina again.

"You can't talk like that. You should have stayed with us. Jeff's mama is my mama too." said Ariana, who didn't like the sound of that.

"Thanks, kiddo." replied Roselina.

Ariana only smiled slightly.

The three of them ate breakfast in silence. "Why don't we hire a maid?" asked Ariana suddenly.

Roselina and Jeff looked at Ariana.

"No need, sweetie. Mama and I can help you clean up the house. Besides, it's a waste of money," said Jeff.

"E-e Yes, Ariana. Besides, Mom doesn't have anything to do either. I've been working for a long time, so if I don't do anything, my body will hurt." said Roselina, who seemed nervous.

"But, Mom..."

Jeff immediately wiped Ariana's words, "Never mind, honey. I don't care, you just focus on taking care of Daddy's company."

"Yes." Ariana replied simply.

That was the case with Jeff and Roselina, who always refused whenever Ariana wanted to introduce a housekeeper. They always made the same excuses and it made Ariana feel uncomfortable.

Jeff fixed his wife's hair, looking romantic. Ariana felt embarrassed that Roselina was there.

Ariana gets ready in her work clothes and goes to the office. Jeff had left earlier, because the direction of the office and the factory were different.

Before leaving the house, Ariana's eyes suddenly fell on the large cupboard where she collected antiques that were very expensive, such as small jars, cups, bowls and other types.

"How come..." Ariana stopped and thought.

"Where did the urn go? Wasn't it in the cupboard yesterday ...? " asked Ariana confused.

As she examined the cupboard again, the woman looked upset. Because, the antiques she collected were very expensive. The cheapest is 50 million.

For fear of being late, she hurried away. 'Ahh, the urn business can be later!' Ariana thought.

"Good afternoon, ma'am. This is today's report, and we have a meeting in the afternoon." said Ariana's secretary, Lionel. Lionel was Ariana's cousin.

"Again?" asked Ariana, not expecting that she had to attend a meeting for almost a week.

"Yes, ma'am. Our company is rising rapidly, so many investors want to join." Lionel replied.

Ariana massaged her temples, "Can you replace me?"

"You're crazy, huh. I'm just a secretary. I don't want to be CEO anyway. What a headache! Just like you!" Lionel replied as he placed a folder on Ariana's desk.

Knock... Knock...

A knock instantly made Ariana raise her head lazily. "Who the hell was that again? Can't I just work casually today!" grumbled Ariana.

A middle-aged man walked in with his automatic pushchair.

"Daddy!" Ariana exclaimed, both surprised and happy. It had been a long time since she had seen her father.

She ran to hug her father.

"What is it Ariana, it's morning - again Daddy has heard your nagging from out there," Sander asked.

Ariana let go of his hug, "hehe... Nothing, Dad ..." Ariana argued.

"That's a lie uncle. She's complaining about the meeting," Lionel said, smiling mockingly at Ariana.

"What the hell are you!" grumbled Ariana, looking at Lionel in annoyance.

"Ariana, Daddy came here to talk to you." Sander said to his only daughter.

"What is it Dad?" asked Ariana curiously.

"Then you'll have to excuse me, Uncle." Lionel said, wanting to say goodbye.

"You have to listen too. And help me to explain it to Ariana" said Sander.

Lionel was stunned to hear the words of Sander, who was the brother of his mother who had died a long time ago.

It was rare that Sander wanted to talk to him in such a serious matter.

"Let's have lunch soon, Daddy's hungry!" Sander immediately turned his wheelchair with the button.

Ariana and Lionel followed Sander from behind. 'What's going on? How come my name was brought up anyway?' Lionel asked in a whisper looking at Ariana.

She shrugged her shoulders, 'I don't know' Ariana whispered.

The three of them had just finished lunch at a cafe that was quite a distance from the company. It was a cafe that Sander and his late wife used to frequent. In fact, they also sometimes invited Ariana here.

Ariana wondered what her Daddy was thinking to bring her here. Usually, if Sander was already here. It was a sign that the middle-aged man was thinking about something very important.

"What does Daddy have to say?" Ariana was curious. Because, it had been about 30 minutes since they finished eating. However, Sander had not yet said his purpose.

Lionel just silently looked at the two figures in front of him.

"Look, dear. Hmm, don't you think you want to have children?" asked Sander.

Ariana was surprised that Sander would mention children at this time.

"Of course, Daddy. I want to have kids later anyway..." Ariana replied.

"How come later? Daddy wants them now. Don't you think about your husband, he must want to have children too, right?" asked Sander.

Lionel was silent.

"Jeff and I have been trying Dad. But God hasn't given us one yet. " Ariana replied lightly.

"You're trying. It's useless for Daddy to have a lot of money if you don't use it to consult a doctor. And according to Daddy, you better quit the company."

"Huh!" the woman couldn't believe it.

Lionel was also surprised. He wondered who would take care of the company in the future?

"Why Dad, what did I do wrong?"

"You didn't do anything wrong. It's just that you were too busy with work that you forgot to provide grandchildren for Daddy. Remember, Ariana you've been married for almost a year. What will people say?" Sander said.

"...In fact, you also forgot to take care of your husband, right?" Sander continued.

Ariana seemed to be thinking. What Sander said was true, even very true.

Ariana was so busy working that she had no time for Jeff at all. In fact, sometimes she didn't even come home at all.

"So, who's going to replace me, Dad?" asked Ariana.

Sander looked at Ariana and then at Lionel who had been playing with the straw in his drink. The single man was so absorbed in his own world that he wasn't even listening to what Sander had just said to Ariana. Ariana also turned to look at Lionel.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" wondered Lionel.

"I agree with her, Dad. My little brother is so adorable!" giggled Ariana, pinching the handsome man's cheek.

"What the hell!" Lionel annoyed Ariana.

"Lionel, i wants you to be CEO in place of Ariana." said Sander.

"What? Me?" asked Lionel who was very surprised.

"Yes. You will replace Ariana in the company. " said Sander again.

"I-I'm not ready, Uncle. You know that, anyway, how can I lead the company? " Lionel refused.

"... It's better if you find someone else. " Lionel continued.

"There isn't one. You have to, Lionel. I want to take a break first, if you run the company, it will definitely be successful. I believe that!" said Ariana, who did not want to hear Lionel's reasoning.

"bu-bu-but..."

"You don't want to see me have children, do you...?" whined Ariana, starting to pout.

Lionel became agitated, he wasn't even ready yet. "Come on, son. Help me continue the company that i and your mom worked so hard to build." Sander pleaded.

Sander was with his younger sister Mia, who was Lionel's mother. The two of them built the company from the ground up. Mia was a single parent when her husband died in an accident. So, since then Mia has been working and finally thought of building a company together with Sander.

Until the company was big and growing rapidly until now.

Lionel sighed softly, "Alright, Uncle. I will try." Lionel replied.

Ariana and Sander were very happy to hear it.

"Thank you, my handsome brother..." praised Ariana and did not forget to pinch Lionel's cheek lightly.

"Yakkk...!!!" annoyed Lionel looking sharply at Ariana.

Sander just smiled at the silly behavior of the two of them, which had never changed from when they were children.

Ariana went home early today after the cafe. From today and tomorrow, she would have free time for herself and her little family.

She came home with a large plastic bag containing Fizza. Her husband and mother-in-law's favorite food.

She immediately placed it on the dining table.

"I better change my clothes first. Maybe Mama is in her room right now." Ariana muttered as she climbed the stairs to her room.

She glimpsed Mrs. Roselina's room with the door slightly open. She saw so many bags of groceries piled up on the bed.

'Mama's been shopping?' Ariana thought.

Not wanting to think too long. She continued walking to her room to immediately change her office clothes.
