MARRIAGE CONTRACT
Knock…
Knock…
Knock…
Lexi knocked his parents’s bedroom. He knocked hardly. He couldn’t wait to tell the good news about Jessica who was ready to marry him.
“Mom! Dad!” he didn’t stop knocking on the door.
“Wait a minute,” his mom said from inside. Three seconds later, the door opened and his mother stood behind the door. She looked at Lexi questioningly. “What?”
“Jessica is willing to marry me, Mom. We have to prepare for the wedding as soon as possible!” Lexi told her.
“Really?” Mrs. Anna wasn’t convinced by her son’s words.
“Right! If you don’t believe me, then ask Jessica!” Lexi looked into Jessica’s room, then passed to his room.
Entering at his room, Lexi ran a little and lied his body on the bed. He smiled to himself as he was feeling so happy. However, he didn’t want to admit that his reason for wanting to marry Jessica.
“Yes, Yes, Yes!” Lexi clenched the fingers of his right hand, feeling so happy.
Lexi intended to sleep. He closed his eyes and tried to bring about his sleepiness, but he couldn’t sleep. He was so happy because he would marry Jessica tomorrow.

“I need to talk to Jessica!” Mrs. Anna still couldn’t believe that Jessica was willing to marry Lexi.
“We have to make sure Jessica really wants to marry Lexi, Mom. After that, I will ask my brother a good day for our son’s wedding,” Mr. Samuel said. The brother he meant that the eldest brother of the Ricardo family. His name is Sandy Ricardo. He lived in one of the villages in Central Java as a landlord.
Lexi’s mother walked to Jessica’s room. Jessica asked to sleep to the room near kitchen before.
“Wait a minute, Ma’am!” Jessica shouted from her room. The next ten seconds, the door opened and Jessica stood in front of her. Jessica bowed, hiding her spreading tears.
“Are you ready to marry my son, Jess?” Mrs. Anna asked. She went to Jessica’s room just to make sure Jessica’s decision.
“Yes, Ma’am. I am willing to marry Mr. Lexi,”Jessica said slowly.
Mrs. Anna reflexively hugged the girl such she was so happy. “Jessica, thank you for being willing to marry Lexi, now you will be my daughter and a part of Ricardo’s family,” Mrs Anna said. She hugged Jessica very tightly.
Jessica hugged back to Mrs. Anna. There was only Mrs. Grace who would sometimes give her a hug. Now there was Mrs. Anna who seemed to sincerely love her.
“Thank you Jessica,” she said, unable to hold back the tears.
“Ma’am” Jessica called.
” Yeah?” she stared on Jessica’s eyes.
“Mrs. Anna, why are you crying?”Jessica wiped her tears that ran down on this woman’s cheeks.
“I cried because I was so happy Jessica, thank you, Jess” she answered with a smile.
Jessica was trying to smile.
“Now you have to sleep, we’ll have your wedding with Lexi soon. My son is impatient to get married,” Mrs. Anna smiled. “Take a rest” she closed Jessica’s room door.All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.
After Mrs. Anna left Jessica, Jessica sat back on the bed. She felt sad, but she didn’t know who to express his sadness to. She laid her body roughly on the bed. She looked on the pink folder, marriage contract with Lexi.
“I haven’t read it yet, ” Jessica muttered. Once again she wiped away the tears that were wetting her cheeks.
Jessica’s hand reached out for that folder on the desk. She opened that folder.
She read a row of numbers that became the main point, which written on the paper.

Jessica narrowed her eyes. If Lexi could ask for her rights that much, then Jessica didn’t want to lose. “Isn’t this the same as depriving me of my rights and freedoms as a human being!” Jessica threw away the pink folder, then decided to go to Lexi’s room.
Jessica opened the door. She walked through the dining room, family room, then walked to upstairs to the second floor.
She stood at the end of the stairs. But she did’nt know Lexi’s room, and decided to knock on the door of the nearest one.
Knock…
Knock…
Knock…
Jessica knocked on the door. She put his ear to the door to listen.
(sound of the door opened)
The door opened, Jessica was surprised that Lexi was already standing in front of her.
“Hey my future wife, have you missed me already? Come here,” Lexi pulled Jessica’s hand into his room, didn’t forget to lock the door.
“Sir, we need to talk about the contract, it’s too burdensome for me!” Jessica looked at Lexi.
“No, nothing can be changed,”Lexi answered as he threw his smile. That night was too beautiful, he wouldn’t be angry furthermore to snap Jessica.
“Then let me add some for it,” Jessica gave advice.
“Tell me, what do you want my future wife?” Lexi teased Jessica by touching her chin.
“I don’t want to have children! I don’t want anything that will bind us for life!” Jessica became a widow after the marriage contract was completed. She didn’t want to torture herself if she gave a children, Ricardo’s family would take care of her. And Jessica would be the one who got hurt the most.
“I agree! It is better not to have children! I just want to be healed! I also have no intention of having a child from a woman I don’t love!” Lexi answered. He didn’t want to admit that he really needed Jessica. “I don’t want our wedding to be public either, I’m going to talk to mom and dad!” he added.
Jessica nodded in agreement.
“It written two years, what does that mean after two years and Mr. Lexi’s illness has not healed yet, I can still finish the contract and get the 200 Billion you promised me, right, Sir?”Jessica made sure. She needed money. It was ashamed to admit it in front of a man who wanted her body.
“Sure Jessica, even before two years if I’m cured, I’ll let you go!” Lexi answered confidently.
“Well, thank you. I’m going back to the room,” Jessica turned around. She hoped that in the next two years, everything would go according to plan.
“Wait!” Lexi stopped the girl’s steps and grabbed her hand.
“Shouldn’t you be here? From tomorrow night this room will also be your room Jessica,”Lexi said. Now, he was no rude liked before. He smiled and didn’t want to hurt Jessica.
“No, Sir!” pushed him.
“Don’t be afraid, I can still wait until tomorrow night. I’m not going to deny Jessica,” Lexi walked closer. Jessica was terrified when she saw him.
“No,” the little girl tried to get out of Lexi’s hand.
“How long will you call me ‘Sir’? Tomorrow we are already husband and wife, sit down. So, tomorrow you are no longer awkward when you are in this room,” Lexi begged. He led Jessica slowly to sit on his soft king size bed.
The sweet attitude shown by Lexi, made Jessica couldn’t refuse. Now, she and Lexi were sitting. They looked like a married couple.
“Yes, sir,” Jessica said slowly. Actually, she wanted to get out of this room immediately.
“Don’t call me, ‘Sir’ okay? Tomorrow I will be your husband, Jess,” Lexi protested. The shadow of his first night with Anita recurred. Before that incident, Anita looked happy sitting next to him and never let go of his hand.
“Daddy, should I call you ‘daddy’?”Jessica looked at the ceiling of the room hoping to get her answer from there.
“Am I that old Jessica? I’m still thirty years old, and look at my face still handsome like a twenty-year-old man!” Lexi answered. “I don’t look like a sugardaddy. Don’t call me daddy! I don’t like that!” he said obviously.
“So, should I call you ‘brother’?”Jessica was afraid of being wrong.
“No, I don’t want to have a sister like you,” Lexi shook her head strongly.
“What about ‘honey’?” Jessica remembered Chelsea called it to Chelsea’s lover.
“Nope”
“Then, what?”
“My husband. Say it! You have to learn from now on! So that tomorrow. Don’t mispronounce it!”
“My husband,” Jessica said as she bit her lip softly.
Jessica’s lip movements made desire to him. Lexi was trying to control his lust. This man grabbed Jessica’s waist and landed a kiss on her lips.
‘What a fool. Tomorrow you will be my wife Jessica!’
He kept landing on Jessica’s lips. Jessica didn’t care, she tried to push him away.
