Trial Marriage Husband : I Am CEO's Plaything

"What are you doing in my mother's house!?" Lisa asked sharply. Her gaze bursted into Karina's terrified eyes. Her forefinger pointed right in front of the girl's nose. Lisa emitted a terrible aura as if she was an assassin ready to take Karina's life.

She quickly pushed Karina's body against the wall. Karina's back hit the wall hard, making the woman moan in pain. "Lis! I went to your house because I had some unfinished business! Don't just accuse me of hurting your mother!" Karina snapped while catching Lisa's hand, which was ready to hit her face.

"How can I trust your mouth if you are so good at acting? Do you still remember when I was in the hospital? You pretend to be nice in front of me so I don't sue you in court, right? Now seeing my mother in the hospital, I suspect you are intentionally hurting my mother and threatening my mother!" Lisa's voice sounded scary cold. It was unusual for her to be on a rampage like today. Karina immediately swallowed hard when she saw Lisa's sharp eyes shine, hoping that the woman wouldn't hurt her.

"Lisa!" Kumala shouted with difficulty from the bed. "Karina didn't threaten me! She's telling the truth. Please don't fight, this is a hospital and don't make your mental health worse!"

"Mom, don't you know that Karina was the one who hurt me until I was temporarily blind?" Lisa turned her face to her mother then back to Karina. "Didn't you tell the truth to my mother!?"

"Lis! That is precisely my purpose to meet your mother! I want to apologize and compensate for it. That's why listen to me until I finish!" Karina replied bluntly, but Lisa didn't believe it one bit. 

"How can I trust you? You have two faces! No, you absolutely have more than just two! There are a hundred of them! People who lie once or twice can still be forgiven. But more than that? Don't expect to gain back other's trust after you lose it!" Lisa said, pulling Karina's collar again. This time she slightly pulled the collar up so that Karina's chin was slightly upward.

"That's enough, you two! Stop it! You shouldn't fight. God…" Kumala's voice boomed, echoing in room 101 until it was deafening. Hearing Kumala who was frustrated with Lisa and Karina's behavior, the two women then kept their distance from each other and exchanged glances with fierce gaze.

The atmosphere became very awkward and quiet. For a long time, Karina and Lisa exchanged glances, then Karina just walked away leaving Lisa and Kumala alone.

Lisa lowered her head and took a deep breath. She turned her face to Kumala while staring at her mother's face which looked annoyed and sad at the same time. In her heart, Lisa felt guilty but she didn't want to give Karina a chance to hurt her mother in any way. It was enough that Lisa was suffering from her ex-stepsister, she didn't want her mother and sister to get involved in their problems.

Lisa looked at Kumala's face, who looked very disappointed. She walked over to the middle-aged woman and sat on the chair beside her. "I'm sorry, but I don't want Karina to hurt you, Mom. How many times has she hurt our family? Next time Karina comes to the house, don't open the door!"

Kumala didn't pay attention. She stared straight at the wall in front of her with a blank look.

"I'm sorry, Mom. I just want to protect you and Bella .."

***

Lisa accompanied Kumala all day long at the hospital. Since Karina left Kumala and Lisa together this afternoon, there had been no interaction between the mother and daughter. Lisa tried to cheer up her mother, but it seemed that Kumala was really disappointed with her attitude towards Karina just now. Even though Karina had a rotten heart, Kumala still gave Karina the opportunity to apologize for what she had done to Lisa. 

It had been an hour but there was still no warm interaction between them. Lisa then decided to get some fresh air outside. She came out of room 101 and turned her head through the hallway to the canteen. Without realizing it, she came across a tall, slender figure like a model when she arrived at an intersection.

The man was wearing a dark blue suit, very shiny and luxurious. His tie was blood red, looking very striking. His blonde hair glittered in the soft light.

Lisa froze where she stood. Her mouth fell open slightly at the figure she missed so much.

"Oscar Petersson," Lisa said spontaneously. Her eyes exchanged glances with Oscar's beautiful clear blue eyes. Lisa immediately ran to the charming handsome man and hugged him. The man immediately returned her hug with a soft caress on her back. When Lisa smelled the very intoxicating scent of Oscar's expensive perfume, her eyes immediately filled with tears, the memory of the good old days with the man of European descent suddenly flashed in her mind.

"Oscar, I heard that you will be leaving Jakarta forever. Why are you here?" Lisa asked, hiding her embarrassing sobs.

"If I never come back to this very busy and cruel city again, are you sure you can let me go without seeing me for the last time?" Oscar said softly in Lisa's ear.

Hearing Oscar's words just now made Lisa's face turn red. She blushed. To be honest, she was very proud to admit that she missed Oscar more than anything. Lisa looked away from the blue eyed man's gaze. She ignored Oscar's question, and instead snorted in annoyance.

"You often tease me, just make me upset," Lisa said, clicking her tongue. The man cleared his throat, his sensual lips forming a faint smile.

"Are you sure you don't want to see my face one last time?" Oscar asked, teasing Lisa. 

Lisa was silent, she ran out of words to respond to her ex-husband. 

"Lisa," Oscar said softly. "I want to talk to you, come with me to the parking lot. It's urgent." 

The man immediately grabbed Lisa's arm and led her to the parking lot. Under these circumstances, Lisa couldn't refuse. The man's grip was so strong, her strength was not comparable to his.

When the two of them reached the parking lot, Oscar opened the door to his black Alphard  and invited Lisa in. The man then jumped in and closed the car's door.

The man took out a brown envelope and folder from his briefcase. He deftly handed the file to Lisa and said, "This is your compensation money from Karina. I also included all invoices from the hospital where you were treated. Everything is complete, check it out."

Lisa grabbed the file and read it carefully. She took out a cash amount of one hundred million rupiah from the brown envelope. It turned out that her mother was right, Karina intended to apologize and pay compensation.

"Oscar…" Lisa said, her throat tightening a little. "Karina... Did she really pay for my medical expenses and hospitalization?" Lisa asked with a surprised face.

Oscar nodded in return. The man stood idly by while crossing his two legs. "How is it? Do you think this settles it all?" 

Lisa looked back at the handsome face of her ex-husband with sparkling eyes. "Oscar, but how did you convince Karina? I... Thank you...."
