Chapter 118 - The Secret Of The Past

It has been three days since Viona held the status of Fernando's wife, she began to adjust her life to Fernando's lifestyle. She even knew some of Fernando's little habits, for example, Fernando will drink warm lemon water before going to bed. In the last three nights, Viona still tried to convince Fernando to wait until she finished her period, Viona understood why so many men could cheat on their wives if their biological needs were not properly channeled. Fernando also had not yet gotten back to the office, he had chosen to finish his office work from home after Justin and Harry brought important files from the office. Sometimes the three of them work from morning to evening until they forget lunch so that Viona had to force her husband and two assistants to quit their work and get some food. 

"Please excuse us, sir. I think it's time for us to go," said Justin trying to end the day when he had finished his work.

"Aren't you guys coming to eat with us first?" asked Viona with a smile. 

"No, ma'am, thank you. Harry and I still have some work left to finish as soon as possible," replied Justin with a smile. 

"It has not finished yet? Haven't you been working very hard for the past two days?" Viona squeaked in disbelief at what Justin just said. 

Fernando smiled at his wife's words. He then put his arms around Viona's waist and hugged her tightly. 

"We are businessmen, not doctors. The company's problem is not only about one or two people, but hundreds of people, we have to think about their life too," said Fernando while kissing his wife's cheek in front of the two single men. 

"I see, I don't want to force both of you to stay here if you guys still have some work to be done," said Viona with a smile. 

Justin and Harry finally left Fernando's palace, they headed straight to the office to keep the files they had just worked on in the safe in Fernando's private room at the office. After two of his trusted people left, Fernando invited Viona to come inside to enjoy an afternoon snack together. Because the day was getting cold, Fernando finally asked Viona to come into the room to take a shower. 

"Take a shower first, I have something for you," said Fernando quietly asking Viona to take a shower. 

"Something? What have you prepared for me this time?" asked Viona quickly. 

"Take a shower, then I'll give it to you, honey," replied Fernando happily.

"Promise?" Viona said softly. 

Fernando nodded his head to convince her while smiling seductively. After getting the agreement from her husband, Viona immediately walked to the bathroom. Not long after that, Viona was seen taking a shower and changing into her nightgown, Fernando then went into the bathroom to take a shower.

The bathroom door opened and Viona came out of the bathroom wearing her sleeping pajamas. 

"What is it you've promised to give it to me?" Viona asked excitedly as she raised her hand towards her husband. 

Fernando smiled, he then walked to the safe in his room, not long after that he was seen carrying a box that he took from the safe. 

"Open this," ordered Fernando, handing a box that was still covered in wrapping paper to Viona. 

"What is this?" asked Viona with sparkling eyes. 

"A present I have kept for you from the most special person," said Fernando softly. 

Out of curiosity, Viona finally opened a rectangular box with excitement. 

"From the wrapping paper, it seemed like it was prepared a long time ago," said Viona happily.

"You will know when you open it," said Fernando quickly. 

Sekkkk 

The wrapping paper that was wrapped in the rectangular box finally came off. 

"Is this ... " Viona was unable to finish her words when she saw the contents of the rectangular box she had just opened, her eyes glazed when she saw the contents of the square box. Viona slowly reached out and grabbed the contents of the box. Viona's tears immediately wetted her bare face. 

"That is a gift from Zeze for you, Viona. She did not have the chance to give it to you directly," said Fernando quietly. 

"When did Zevanya make this? Why didn't I know?" Viona asked haltingly.

"It was her last work at school, at that time she was asked by the teacher to make a gift to be given to her most special person. Zevanya then assembled our photos together and wrapped it neatly in this box," replied Fernando with a trembling tone.

"Zeze dear hu hu hu huuuuu huaaa .... hiks hiksss hwwaaaa…. Zeze… my baby…. " Viona broke down crying, she hugged the photo that Zevanya had assembled, she repeatedly called Zevanya's name so that it made Fernando's eyes get teary as well. Four months of being able to raise Zevanya was the most beautiful memory in her life. 

"Honey, please don't cry, stop it, your voice will disappear if you keep crying like this," Fernando said quietly trying to calm Viona who kept crying while saying Zevanya's name many times. 

"I miss her so much. Can we go to Zevanya's house tomorrow, honey? I want to visit her. It's been a long time since we first went there," said Viona haltingly.

"Okay, we will visit Zevanya's house tomorrow, but please stop crying I can't stand seeing you crying like this," Fernando said softly. 

Viona nodded her head at the words of her husband, she then closed her eyes trying to remember her memories of when she was with the little Zevanya seven years ago.

"Sometimes, I feel grateful that you didn't see the incident directly, honey," said Fernando suddenly. 

"What does that mean?" asked Viona confused. 

"When Zeze left all of us, I'm grateful that you didn't see everything with your own eyes because if you did then I'm sure I wouldn't know what to do to calm you down," Fernando replied with a smile. 

Fernando's words made Viona smile, she couldn't believe that her husband had even thought about it that far. 

"Oh yeah, I remember something!!! Didn't you promise to say it when I married you? Now tell me the truth," said Viona suddenly.

"Saying what?" asked Fernando confused. 

"The truth about Zeze, didn't you say that Zevanya is not your real child?" Viona replied quickly. 

"Are you sure you want to hear it now?" asked Fernando briefly. 

"Yes," Viona replied excitedly. 

Fernando then released his embrace from his wife's body, he then lay down on the bed and closed his eyes. Seeing Fernando closing his eyes on the bed made Viona feel a little annoyed, she felt she was being fooled again by her husband. 

"Don't sleep so quickly, now tell me!!! Didn't you promise me you would tell me everything?" Viona said in a rising voice while shaking her husband's body. 

"But promise me you wouldn't think too much about anything after I tell you the truth? It should be over once I tell you about this and we should not discuss it again in the future," said Fernando seriously.

"Okay, I promise," Viona replied briefly. 

Fernando took a deep breath from his nose and slowly exhaled through his mouth, he then woke up from his sleep and sat back facing his wife. He slowly grabbed Viona's shoulder. 

"Zevanya is my daughter!!!" Fernando said in a loud voice.
