Wedding Agreement With CEO

"I can forgive those mistakes and lies, until I re-bless your relationship with Lucas, but one thing you need to know, Elle. I\'ve never once condoned treason! I don\'t want my son to have a wife who a bitch can sleep with any man!"

Again Veronica belittled Ellena, accusing her of something Ellena had never done at all.

"I swear, I never did that, Mommy. I\'ve never slept with any man beside Lucas." Ellena was still trying hard to refute Veronica\'s accusations thrown at her.

"How much money do you need?"

Veronica\'s striking question left Ellena dumbfounded. It really wasn\'t the money he wanted right now. She just wanted Lucas to get well and help clear up all these misunderstandings.

"I don\'t want it, Mommy. No matter how much money you give me, I still won\'t leave Lucas, unless himself asks me to go!" Ellena began to emphasize her words, trying to fight and convince the mother-in-law.

furious. Veronica was made even more angry with Ellena\'s stubborn attitude who chuckled not wanting to leave Lucas. She then reached into the bag beside her, pulling out a brown envelope with quite thick contents.

"Leave Lucas right now!"

Veronica thrust the envelope in front of Ellena.

"What is it, Mom?" Ellena dumbfoundedly stared at the envelope believing that it contained some money to bribe her.

"Take it and leave Lucas right now. You can tell if it\'s lacking!" Veronica replied curtly. "Oh yes, take your mother away too and don\'t call me that title again, because from this second you are no longer my daughter-in-law. I don\'t want to have a prostitute daughter-in-law like you." She added, pouting her lips, showing an expression of disapproval.

"No! I told you, I won\'t leave Lucas!" Ellena pushed the envelope back in front of Veronica while shaking her head.

Obviously he would refuse a gift from Veronica. Accepting the money was tantamount to justifying the accusation. Until then she would never justify it. Will never!

"For the sake of my son\'s happiness, get out of our lives. I beg you! I won\'t say anything to Lucas about all this, but please get out of here and never ever see Lucas again." Veronica\'s voice softened, her gaze pleading with hope. It was clear that she wanted Ellena out of Lucas\' life.

"No, Mom. We\'ve agreed to live together. Lucas and I love each other, even himself ripped the agreement." Ellena hissed, sobbing even more and trying to dismiss all the accusations.

"That\'s because Lucas doesn\'t know what you\'re doing, Elle. What if he finds out about the photo? Are you sure Lucas would still accept a bitch like you? I don\'t think so!" Veronica replied again lifting the corner of her lips.

Ellena didn\'t know how else to explain to Veronica that all that wasn\'t true and that the photo was just a fabrication. Let alone sleeping together, even Keenan had never touched her at all. Lucas was the first to touch her body.

"Please, go away! Lucas\' happiness is everything to me." Again Veronica pleaded and it was enough to make Ellena touched. How Lucas meant so much to her mother, that Veronica didn\'t want to see Lucas hurt.

Maybe Ellena would do the same thing if she was in Veronica\'s position. Protect and protect her son. However, the problem is that Veronica\'s accusations against him are not true. She was at a loss as to how to convince her mother-in-law.

"Mommy ...."

"Take this and get away from Lucas\' life." Veronica asked in a low voice.

Ellena was silent for a moment, studying Veronica\'s face. Instantly her expression turned sad, she couldn\'t bear the fact that her mother-in-law kept begging her. Is this a sign that she really can\'t get along with Lucas? Her mind began to wonder.

"Mommy, may I see Lucas first, one last time?" Ellena whispered with a heavy heart getting those words out of her mouth.

***

Ellena was seen sitting beside the patient\'s bed, where Lucas was lying. Tears didn\'t stop running down her cheeks.

After pleading with her mother-in-law, she was finally allowed to see Lucas one last time. Whether her decision was right or wrong, it was clear that she was very hard to make this decision.

If it wasn\'t for Veronica being pushy, she wouldn\'t want to give up so easily either. The efforts she had made to convince Veronica had been in vain. She really couldn\'t fight the middle-aged woman. However, Veronica has more rights over Lucas.

Ellena took Lucas\' hand. Hold the hand tightly. Her mouth still feels stiff to express her farewell sentence to her husband who is still lying helpless. She observed Lucas\' face, which looked calm, like someone who was fast asleep.

"Lucas, you should know one thing. I didn\'t intend to leave you in this condition. It\'s hard for me to do that. For me, you are the only one that is difficult for me to make a choice, especially bad choices. said otherwise." Ellena whispered in a slightly stuttering tone.

"I have to make this decision. For the sake of your happiness and that of your parents, Lucas. Not that I admit the accusation. I have never once done anything so insulting to a man who is not my husband. I just don\'t want us to force us to live together, without the blessing of parent." Ellena lifted Lucas\' hand and bent down, kissing the man\'s hand very deeply.

After a while, Ellena let go of the kiss on Lucas\' hand again, she then forced a smile and wiped her tears a little harshly, as if she deliberately wanted to hide her sadness in front of her husband, even though Lucas didn\'t see it.

"Maybe after you wake up later, you will no longer see me beside you, see my laughter, smile, and sadness. But believe me, no matter what happens, I will still pray for your happiness, Lucas. I love you very much, love you very much." Ellena softly cried even more, then kissed Lucas\' hand again until her tears ran down the back of the man\'s hand.

"Lucas, this is really hard for me, for us, but I have to do this. I hope this is the best decision I\'ve ever made. If we\'re meant to be, fate will surely bring us back together someday."

Ellena wept bitterly over her fate, allowing herself to let out all the pain that was now stabbing her heart. She was in that position for a long time until he finally decided to get up and move closer to Lucas\' face.

"Lucas, I say goodbye. I hope you recover quickly and are fine. I will pray for your recovery, even though we are no longer together. I\'m sorry, for not being able to maintain our togetherness," said Ellena and leaned over to kiss Lucas\' forehead for a long time.

Ellena left the room still sobbing. Attempts to stop her crying did not work. She couldn\'t hold back the tears that had been flowing so profusely. Every now and then she wiped away the tears with each of her slightly hasty footsteps.

Ellena\'s steps stopped as soon as she opened the door to the room and found Veronica\'s figure in front of her. She lowered the hand that had just wiped the tears from her cheeks.

"Mom-Mommy." Ellena whispered a little nervously.

How come? Veronica\'s gaze was so sharp towards her. A look full of hatred and disappointment. She didn\'t want to say anything more to Veronica, because the explanations from her a few minutes ago, in fact, none of them made the mother-in-law believe.

"I think you\'ve been in there too long. I hope you\'ll get out of here by now." Veronica chimed in, which was more of a dismissive tone.

Ellena didn\'t think that her mother-in-law, whom she knew very well from the start, was a gentle person, that she could actually push and ostracize her, as if she no longer had self-respect. Yes, it\'s all because of Lucas. Veronica did it for Lucas and she was quite understanding, though there really wasn\'t a need to act like that with her.

Ellena forced a smile, after she managed to wipe all traces of tears that had been flowing down her cheeks. Now she was able to hold back the tears.

"Mommy don\'t need to worry, I will soon leave Lucas\' life, as Mommy wants," said Ellena in a heavy tone.

"Good! That\'s what I wanted. Go now!" expel Veronica with great emphasis.

"Okay, I\'ll go. But once again I reiterate that I did all of this, not because I admit all the accusations, but because Mommy asked. that!" said Ellena which was responded with a bitter grin by Veronica.

"Even when all the evidence is in sight, you still try to dodge it. What a shameless woman!" Veronica\'s sneer again insulted Ellena.

However, Ellena still tried to respond with a cool head, even though she was actually very angry with her mother-in-law\'s words. Not! Maybe after this the middle-aged woman will soon turn into her former mother-in-law.

"Okay, if Mommy still believes in that. But don\'t be sorry if one day my words are proven. I believe that God never sleeps, sooner or later all these lies will be exposed and that\'s when Mommy will regret insulting and demeaning me like that!"

Ellena spoke quietly, but with emphasis. It suddenly made Veronica rounded in disbelief if Ellena dared to say that to her.

"I\'m sorry, Mommy. May Mommy, Daddy, and Lucas always be happy. I will continue to wish you all the best. Thank you for allowing me to get to know your son, Mom." Ellena returned her smile, before she finally walked away from Veronica.

"Wait!"

Ellena stopped again and looked back.

"Take this!" Veronica handed back the brown envelope that Ellena had refused earlier.

Ellena smiled faintly, then said, "No need, thanks."
