8. Don't Regret

"No, I want the woman to sign it herself," said Alano.

Rafael took a deep breath, even though he was one step away from being rich, it was only a matter of signing, but Felicia was very difficult to do that.

"Come on, Feli. You already said that if you agree, hurry up and sign here. Fel, otherwise I'll be angry with you forever, and I'll never want to know you again," a death threat was already out of Rafael's mouth to make Felicia sign the contract.

Felicia was wide-eyed, she didn't understand why Rafael was going crazy for treasure like this. But Felicia also couldn't imagine her life without Rafael, finally, she was forced to sign the contract.

"Okay, for your sake. Only for the sake of you, I want to accept this contract, because I love you, "said Felicia.

"Yes, honey. I know, and I'm very grateful to you. I am proud to have a girlfriend who is willing to sacrifice for our love, you take it easy, I will make you happy after this, "Raphael replied.

"I believe in you," said Felicia, with trembling hands she signed the contract that Alano had provided. After this, his new life will begin soon and the one who will fill his days later is no longer Rafael but Alano. She also doesn't know what obstacles she will face in the future, what if Alano does something bad to her? She also did not know what trouble would befall her. But Felicia will stay strong for her love for Rafael.

While Rafael is very happy because soon he will be crazy rich, he will have a lot of money that will not run out in one year. Apart from that, he was also able to earn more money over the next few months. Rafael did love Felicia, but his love for Felicia was no greater than his love for money. He is realistic that living in this world requires more money than just love. After all, Rafael will get Felicia back after 6 months, no problem right?

"Alright, the contract has been signed. Rafael, tell your friends that this task is done, you also have to immediately prepare for my wedding. And for you, tomorrow I will take you to meet my father, you must look beautiful because I don't want my taste to be looked down upon by my father. You have to be able to pretend to be a woman who loves me, don't let my father know about this. I think everything is clear, you can go," said Alano.

"Okay, Big Boss. I will carry out everything you command, but regarding the fee How about?" asked Raphael.

"Don't worry, I will immediately give the money to you after my father agrees to it tomorrow," Alano replied.

"Okay, Big Boss. Then I'll go home first," Rafael said goodbye, he invited Felicia to go home. Felicia just silently obeyed, although her face could see that she was very sad and disappointed by all of this.

Arriving at the house, Felicia immediately got out of the car without saying a word, since leaving Alano's house, Felicia was silent and didn't want to talk.

"Fel, why are you silent? Are you mad at me?" asked Rafael, he immediately chased Felicia who had already entered the house.

Unexpectedly Felicia came into her room and took out a large suitcase from the closet, Felicia would immediately pack her things because she would soon leave this house.

"Felicia, where are you going?" Rafael asked the question as if he didn't know what was going on. But Felicia didn't answer, she remained silent as she continued to pack her clothes.

"Stop! Felicia, answer my question! Why are you even packing all your things? Where are you going?" Rafael held Felicia's hand so the girl wouldn't continue what she was doing.

Felicia stopped, she looked at her lover with a look full of anger. She then slapped Rafael's hand roughly.

"You ask me, where am I going? Why am I packing my things, and all those silly questions of yours? Are you that stupid? You know what just happened to me, I'll be leaving this house soon, I think it's a question that doesn't need an answer," Felicia said curtly.

"Yeah, I know. You're about to have a contract marriage with Big Boss, but does that mean you'll never come back to this house again? No, Felicia. After the contract is over, you will return to this house again, we will return to live together. So why are you packing your things like this?" Gerry even asked back, his little heart was not ready to lose Felicia. He would miss this girl in his house very much.

Felicia took a deep breath, she felt annoyed with someone like Rafael who always took everything easy.

"What else is my stuff here for? Didn't I marry another man, that means I'll be living with my husband later," said Felicia.

"This is crazy, you only have a contract marriage with him, not a real marriage. Why are you even acting like this?" Rafael's tone was getting higher, it seemed he was also angry now.

"Yeah, I know that I only contracted marriage with him. But still, I have to live there right? Even if it was possible, I'd prefer to stay there forever even if I have to be a maid than I'd have to go back to living with you." Felicia does not want to lose, her position here is she is a victim of the injustice committed by her lover.

Felicia couldn't hold back her emotions anymore, she was angry with Rafael, if it was like this she forgot about Rafael's promise to marry her. Whereas if her emotions have subsided, Felicia will come back to her senses and apologize to Rafael for speaking carelessly.

"I can't believe you said that earlier you forced me to promise to marry you, but now you're talking like this. Anyway, I don't want you to bring all your things, just bring what you need, don't take them all because you will come back here." Rafael took out all the clothes that Felicia had put in the suitcase.

"Why are you even taking out my clothes again, Rafael?"

"Because I will never allow you to leave this house forever," said Rafael.

"Why? Why do you seem like you can't accept that I'm leaving here forever? Isn't this what you want? You know that the contents of the contract are very profitable for him, but not for me. I will be a slave in exchange for money for 6 months, did you think about that before? No, all you think about is money, you don't think about me. So why did I come back here?" Felicia denied Rafael's words.

"Now that I ask you, why did you agree to come to the contract? Why?" Rafael even asked back to break Felicia's statement.

"Because of you, I signed that contract. If I refuse, then I won't get anything and you will leave me just like that if I refuse to sign the contract. You will leave guilt-free, and you will hate me for that reason. Then I will just live alone with a broken heart in someone else's country, I won't be able to go home because I have no money, and how am I going to continue living here? That's all I'll get if I refuse the contract." Felicia answered loudly.

"It wasn't because of me, but you did all that because of yourself because you also wanted money right? So what did I do wrong?"

"You're wrong, Raphael. I have the right to my life, even though I signed the contract for my own sake there is no problem, the important thing is that I don't sell other people. But I did do all of that for you because if I ask myself, I never wanted to sacrifice my pride for money. You know what I want after this?" Felicia asked.

"What?"

"I want you to regret everything that happened today. Listen to my words carefully, one day you will surely realize that you have given up a woman who loves you very much to someone else, believe me, then you will regret it. You must know that the real treasure is not money, but someone who wants to love you sincerely. But you wasted that woman instead, regret will come last," Felicia revealed everything in her heart.

From the start, Felicia wanted to make Rafael regret his actions today. The single most appropriate way to make someone regret is to realize the loss. That was one of the reasons why Felicia agreed to the contract.

"Cancel the contract, I'll tell Big Boss to cancel the contract," said Rafael as he left Felicia.

"No, Raphael! Don't cancel the contract," shouted Felicia, she immediately chased Rafael out.

"Rafael, I said don't cancel the contract, it's already happened," Felicia stopped.

"Why? Why are you now preventing me from canceling the contract? Have you changed your mind now?" Raphael snapped. He was really angry, Maybe before Rafael didn't realize it at all, he felt Felicia would still be his after Felicia's contract marriage with Alano was over.

"Don't you ever dare to cancel the contract, I don't want the contract to be canceled because someone like you has to feel a loss, then you will understand how much I mean in your life. So, don't cancel the contract, I want to know how sorry you are after losing me," Felicia replied while furrowing her brows.

"If you dare to cancel the contract, then I will never want to know you again," Felicia threatened as she left.

This time it was Felicia who threatened to reply, she was determined to make Rafael regret what Rafael did to him. Otherwise, Rafael would have no regrets. Felicia just needed some time alone now, she went to her room and shut herself there.

While Rafael was still frozen in silence at the door, he didn't expect that Felicia would say such a thing to him.

"No, I can't lose Felicia, but now I can't cancel her contract either. What I wanted from the start was for me to earn a lot of money, but Felicia was still mine. I just have to speak slowly to Felicia to make her understand about this, I definitely won't let Big Boss snatch Felicia from me. After all, why should I be afraid, Big Boss doesn't believe in love, so there's no way Felicia will fall for him. I know, Felicia said this only because she is still shocked by the contract, she can't accept it yet," Rafael calmed himself.

He chose to sit down and take a breath of fresh air to calm his emotions because if he faced Felicia in such an angry manner, they would only fight more. Felicia needs time alone, so does Rafael.

Tomorrow, Felicia will start busy taking care of her wedding, Rafael doesn't know what will happen later, but he is sure that Felicia will still love him and Felicia will return to him after 6 months have passed.

Can't imagine how he would live without Felicia by his side, it's been three years since Rafael invited Felicia to live with him here. Rafael's days are more colorful, even though he often hurts Felicia's heart. Because Rafael is never satisfied making love with only one woman, even Felicia has been exhausted from serving Rafael all day in bed.

The reason Rafael often made love to other women was just that he couldn't bear to see Felicia tired, that's all. Remembering that, Rafael laughed to himself. It's funny, he has spent many moments with Felicia.

But this time for 6 months, Rafael had to give up Felicia's departure for a while. However, he must think realistically, because life requires money.

Money is not everything but everything needs money, Rafael needs Felicia to earn a lot of money so that he can marry Felicia and live happily with her.
