Trial Marriage Husband : I Am CEO's Plaything

"You...!" Clara said. Her heart was hurt even more by hearing the sharp and piercing words from Lisa. "You are so cruel!"

"Haha, who wronged me first then? I can't pretend to be nice, especially with bad people and bad minds like you, Clara!" She kicked the demon woman again until a groaning sound echoed throughout the room.

Clara was beaten so badly that she felt helpless. In the past, when that demonic woman came and harassed Lisa, she didn't dare to fight back, but now that she was tired and didn't want to be persecuted, she unleashed all of her strength to fight Clara even though she had to be cruel. That was how a woman who'd lived in persecution for too long took her revenge.

"Eat shit, Clara! You deserve it!" Lisa scoffed as she kicked Clara until the demonic woman's breath was gasping. 

Clara couldn't bear the pain that started creeping through her body. She was too weak to resist the onslaught. She regretted bothering Lisa now. She could not understand that Lisa would be blindly beating her like this. Suddenly, Clara's body stiffened, her breath stopped, her eyes bulged like they were in a deep pain.

Seeing Clara's convincing look made Lisa suspicious. Was she just pretending or was she really sick? Lisa turned Clara's body with her feet and said, "Hey, don't pretend to be sick like that. You really have such an ugly face, you know !?"

Clara ignored what Lisa said. Her body was still stiff, her breath was still gasping. Cold sweat appeared and flowed from behind her temples. 

"Clar, you don't have to act! Clar… Clara? Hey! Answer me!" Lisa shook that devil woman's beautiful face. Then she stared into Clara's eyes closely. It looked like Clara was in pain. Lisa checked Clara's heartbeat, thinking that something was wrong. She also checked Clara's forehead which was drenched in sweat. 

"Wow, I thought you were lying! Hey Clar! What the hell happened to you! Hey answer me!"

Even though Lisa hated Clara for hurting her in the past, seeing her like this made her a little worried. Moreover, she had just beat Clara up and only stopped when she noticed the woman fell silent and stiff, breathless. This didn't look good for her, Lisa could have been prosecuted for violence or worse; attempted murder!

She immediately carried Clara and laid her down on the sofa. Her breathing started to return to normal but her whole body was still difficult to move.

Lisa patted Clara's cheek while calling out her name, "Clara, hey Clara! Wake up! Don't die in my boarding house please! I don't want to go to jail just yet!" She said, looking panicked and worried.

A few moments later, Clara started moving her stiff lips then said, "Lisa... please ... promise me, give Oscar back to me... I ... I ... cough!" Clara vomited blood from her mouth before she finished her sentence.

Lisa was panicked when she saw the pool of blood littering her boarding house's floor. "Clara! You idiot! Don't throw up on my floor or people will think I attempted murder on you!"

Within seconds of Clara vomiting blood, the demonic woman lost consciousness. Her entire vision turned pitch black. Her hearing began to faint before she completely fell unconscious in Lisa's hand.

"You bastard dog! Clara, don't die yet!" Lisa shouted frantically. She hurriedly reached for the cell phone and then made an emergency call. Ten minutes later, an ambulance arrived and took Clara to the nearest hospital.

While waiting for Clara to be handled by the emergency room's doctor, Lisa immediately made a call to Oscar. "Hello Oscar? Sorry I'm calling you this sudden, umm... Clara suddenly vomited blood and then fainted at my boarding house. Now I'm in a hospital in Central Jakarta."

"Okay, I will immediately go there after this," Oscar replied briefly, the call was immediately closed.

***

Ten minutes had passed. Lisa was still waiting for Clara in the ER. She occasionally glanced at the clock on the wall in the ER. The clock showed it was still 10 in the morning. Oscar should still be working now, but since the man was the boss of his own company, he could steal time between office hours.

Lisa looked at Clara's face, which was very pale and pathetic. Even though the demonic woman was mean to her and Lisa hated her very much, seeing her lying on the bed helplessly touched her heart. She began to sympathize with her. As imperfect as she was, Lisa was not that heartless and bad as a person.

Her mother always taught her that no matter how bad people treat her, she must repay them with kindness. It was difficult, but at least Lisa learned with time. She might not be able to forgive all the crimes Clara had done to her overnight, but she promised she would forgive that demonic woman.

Lisa was deep in thought. For a moment she regretted beating Clara until the woman was battered. What if the doctor asked her? How should she answer if the doctor asked who beat Clara until she collapsed like this?

Lisa swallowed hard. Her palms started to sweat and she started to panic. 

Suddenly, the doctor came out from the ER with a report and said, "Miss, your friend is fine. She had a congenital heart disease that made her faint,"

Hearing the doctor's explanation just now made Lisa's heart relieved. She could sleep peacefully tonight. 

Shortly thereafter, a tall, slender man clad in a shiny black suit came up to Lisa with hasty steps. "Lisa! How is her condition? Why did she suddenly faint?"

Lisa looked at Oscar with a slightly relaxed face. She sighed and then said, "I'm sorry Oscar, it's all my fault. Clara suddenly came to the boarding house then badmouthed me and asked me to fight. Since I'm tired of being bullied by that demonic woman, I decided to beat her... "

Oscar immediately hugged Lisa tightly. The man lowered his head then kissed her forehead and said, "No, don't blame yourself. Clara does have a congenital heart disease."

"I'm sorry Oscar, I've been bothering you for the umpteenth time," Lisa said suddenly. She lowered her head, and without realizing it, her tears began to fall.

"Hey, why do you say that? You saved Clara's life even though she's your nemesis. That's a good deed!" Oscar replied comforting Lisa who still seemed to blame herself for the accident that happened to Clara.

"It is okay. Umm.... You stay here with Clara first. I'll come back after I calm down," Lisa said to Oscar. Her face still looked grim and sorry.

"Okay, I'll stay with Clara until she regains consciousness. You just go back to the boarding house. I'll visit you again as usual later in the afternoon," Oscar replied worriedly.

Lisa turned around and Oscar grabbed her shoulders and said, "Lisa, thank you for believing me. I promise I'll just stay with Clara until she recovers. My love affair with Clara is completely finished. You don't have to doubt my loyalty anymore," Oscar lowered his head then kissed Lisa's lips.

The kiss was very quick, but it was able to make Lisa stunned. She held her lips and covered her face, which was red with shame.

"Yes, just stay here with Clara until she regains consciousness!" Lisa asked before she turned away from feeling embarrassed.

Oscar went straight to the emergency room where Clara was lying. He traced Clara's face, which looked pale white, with a look full of worry. When he landed himself on the chair near Clara's bed, the demonic woman immediately woke up and then swept her surroundings which suddenly looked white and bright.

"I... Where am I? Lisa...?" Clara said softly, she was still half conscious.

"You are in the ER. Lisa brought you here," Oscar said, staring at the pale white woman.

"Oscar is that you? I thought you didn't care about me anymore? I… I…" Clara immediately got up from her bed and hugged Oscar quickly. The man was startled when Clara hugged him. Her embrace was so tight that it was hard for Oscar to dodge.

From behind the curtain that covered Clara's bed, Lisa accidentally caught the unpleasant sight just now. She squinted her eyes, starting to suspect their movements.

Seeing Oscar's response that neither refused nor resisted while being hugged made Clara smile wickedly. She quickly acted as if she was the victim and not the one who caused all this.

"Oscar please don't scold Lisa. She loves you so much so she hated me a lot when I came to her. It's all my fault, Oscar, I purposely came to bother her and make her angry so she beat me…"

"Is that so?" Oscar replied curtly and flatly.
