Trial Marriage Husband : I Am CEO's Plaything

Morning sunlight penetrated through the window, hitting Lisa's face who was still asleep in her sleep. Last night was a very happy moment for her. Her consciousness had begun to gather, but her eyes were still too heavy to open. Her hearing began to clear up, she could hear the sound of the bedroom door creaking. It must be Oscar, she thought.

Lisa heard a plastic grocery bag crackling from her left ear. She also heard the clink of cutlery being placed on a bowl. This morning, Oscar had just gone to a Chinese restaurant near the hospital and bought Lisa the same bowl of porridge as yesterday. The delicious aroma was very fragrant, filling the room.

Lisa immediately opened her heavy eyelids, trying to see the figure who was preparing her breakfast on her left side. Her vision was still not completely recovered, all Lisa could see was the shadow of a tall, slender man with blonde hair.

Lisa moaned and then got up from the bed. She adjusted her seat on the back of the bed and then frowned. "You brought me the same porridge again as yesterday?" She asked a little languidly.

"No, it's different this time. I brought you seafood porridge," Oscar replied as he carried the bowl onto the bed. The man scooped the porridge and fed it to Lisa. The woman then swallowed the warm and delicious porridge with a satisfied smile.

"It's crazy, hospital porridge never tastes as good as this!" Lisa said spontaneously. "Oscar, are you not going to eat too?" She continued.

"You have to eat first, I can eat later," the blonde haired man replied briefly. 

After they had their breakfast together, Oscar said goodbye to Lisa to go to his office. Now only Lisa was alone in the hospital room, feeling lonely. The room grew colder and felt bigger than usual. To be honest, it turned out being in the hospital room alone was very boring for her.

Especially when Lisa's eyes still couldn't see clearly. She felt like she was blind. All day long, Lisa just laid down her sluggish body, thinking about the future. Her mind wandered again. She panicked when her thoughts began to envelop her, as if she wasn't ready to let them entangle her into a bottomless pit.

Lisa shook her head several times to brush away the thoughts that were beginning to cloud her common sense. Even though she was not completely alone in the hospital, the absence of someone next to her made her feel a little anxious. The room was so quiet and soundless, she could even hear the faint sound of wind blowing from the air conditioner and her own heartbeat. 

'What a deafening silence…' Lisa thought.

Then she closed her eyes again, trying to sleep again because she had nothing else to do with her blind eyes in the meantime. Minutes passed, but Lisa still couldn't bring herself to enter the dreamland. It looked like Lisa was having trouble sleeping again. However, not long after, Lisa immediately yawned and without realizing it, she was already fast asleep.

An hour later, Lisa woke up again. This time with a pounding heart and an increasingly foggy mind. She opened her eyelids slowly, a figure of a tall man stepped in and sat on the chair next to her bed.

"Oscar, why have you come back again?" Lisa asked curiously. Wasn't he supposed to be working today?

"The office has no urgent business, so I don't always need to go there. If there is something urgent later, people in the office will contact me," Oscar replied in a relaxed voice. Never before had Lisa heard the man speak in such a soft, relaxed voice.

Since her ex-husband accompanied her during her hospitalization, Lisa felt a sense of security that she had never felt before, even when she was Oscar's official wife! Actually, deep down in her heart, she still loved Oscar. It's just that she didn't want her ex-husband to cross the line to the point that he was willing to leave his job just for her sake.

"Oscar, you don't have to stay here, I'm fine being alone," Lisa said reluctantly.

"Don't worry, Lisa, my company is not in a critical state. You don't need to worry even if I look like I'm looking down on my job. You just need to rest a lot so that your vision will quickly recover," Oscar explained softly. The man then stroked Lisa's shiny black hair.

Hearing Oscar's explanation just now, Lisa immediately smiled. Her heart felt relieved, it turned out that the man still cared for her without losing his sense of responsibility for his job. Lisa immediately grabbed one of Oscar's hands then placed it on her cold cheek.

"Thank you Oscar, thank you for accompanying me and taking care of me..."

***

In the late afternoon, Gatot Soewandi and his spoiled stepdaughter, Karina Destriana, were walking towards Lisa's room with a parcel. It contained fresh fruits and of course, they were expensive.

Their purpose in visiting Lisa was to negotiate Karina's situation, so that neither Lisa nor Oscar brought her to justice. Even though Gatot knew Lisa's accident was Karina's doing, the rotten-hearted middle-aged man was much more excited to defend his stepdaughter than his own daughter. Karina had always been loved and pampered by Gatot more than Lisa, who was his own child. Although Karina was the one at fault, Lisa was still the guilty one for him. That man had taught Karina to hate her own half sister.

Before the two of them arrived at Lisa's door, Karina stopped pulling over to whisper to her stepfather, "Well, I need you to help me talk to her later! Don't let Lisa win anyway. I don't want Lisa to blame me for the accident that happened to her and then ask for compensation from our family!"

Hearing Karina's words, Gatot just nodded, obeying. The man did not dare to oppose his stepdaughter.

Karina then entered first followed by Gatot. The two of them stepped into Lisa's room without knocking or even saying hello, making Lisa wonder where their manners had gone to.

"Oh my God, Lisa! I'm sorry for what happened to you. Here, I bought you fresh and expensive fruits so that you will get well soon," Karina said with a smug tone. The gestures and expressions on her face looked very dramatic and fake, making Lisa disgusted to hear it.

"Yes, Lisa, your father and step sister cried all night worrying about you!" Gatot added, the man was no less self-conscious than Karina.

Without them knowing it, Oscar glared at them, looking displeased with their presence in the room. The golden haired man's eyebrows instantly furrowed with his arms crossed and a chilling, gripping aura engulfed him. 

Seeing Oscar's displeased expression immediately made Karina shudder in horror. She immediately stood up and hid behind Gatot's back then glanced at him over her stepdad's shoulder.

Oscar crossed his two legs, staring at Gatot and Karina's frightened faces. The man said, "Mr. Gatot, what are you doing here?"
