The Beauty Inside: Stealing The First Kiss, Get a Wife Chapter 60

"Is it finished?" Hendra rushed to see Aruna after getting a complaint from the girl's father.
The woman in charge of giving light makeup to Aruna's face hurriedly finished her task. She then exited from the hotel room.
Aruna only glanced at Hendra from the mirror.
The girl didn't smile and didn't even want to interact with Hendra.
"You must be surprised when my guards came. Sorry I won't do it anymore. Next time, I will pick you up myself." Hendra tried to smile so that the girl would respond.
His work schedule had been hectic lately. Yesterday's rumours messed up his activities.
Now, he was trying to solve them one by one. Somehow, he realised that it was a mistake not having the time to pick Aruna up.
"Can I get our marriage contract agreement sheet?" Aruna's question made Hendra stunned for a moment.
Why was the marriage contract that the first time she asked for?
Hendra was disappointed.
Hendra walked down the bed, opened the nightstand drawer. He took out the MOU paper sheets which they had signed. And by being forced to give it to Aruna.
The girl read carefully, long enough before finally commenting.
"Can I delete or renegotiate with you?" Aruna just realised from the 48 points written, only 3 points came from her.
"No! Nothing will change, because we agreed and signed it." Hendra's part was well thought out from the start. And he didn't want Aruna to add conditions to it.
It was a little arrogant because the CEO needed a way to take over Lesmana's youngest daughter.
"This is just an agreement. Why don't we make it easier? After all, there is no binding legal force." Aruna asked.
"In your opinion, what is the function of a stamp under your signature?!" Hendra's explanation left Aruna speechless.
Aruna exhaled, breathless, seeing an arrogant man sat on the edge of a grey bed not far from her.
The point of 'kissing if needed' really existed on the paper Aruna was holding, including confusing things such as 'the woman is prohibited from sleeping before the man falls asleep and is willing to wake up as soon as possible when the man wakes up.'
What kind of marriage contact is this?!
Aruna's memory seemed to return to their second meeting.
The man who picked her up on campus, was wearing a wrong costume, but still acting up, objecting to walking behind because he wanted to take the lead.

'What a weirdo!! How important is sleeping before the others?!'
Aruna could no longer understand the Wenceslas Group's CEO's mindset.
"Reread points 3, 21 and 47." Aruna ordered.
She moved from her seat to approach Hendra, handling the MOU sheet to Hendra.
*Marriage lasts for at least two years, but if the separation is still difficult, it can be extended to the extent possible. (3)
*Kissing if necessary. (21)
*No physical contact. (47)
Hendra seemed to have read according to Aruna's order.
The man looked up to Aruna, standing in front of her.
"Points 47 and 21 are both overlapping, meaning that one of them must be deleted." Aruna explained.
"You know, every point I put forward, I have carefully considered. 21 is impossible to erase!" Hendra exclaimed, disagreed.
For some reason, since stealing Aruna's first kiss, the blue-eyed man had always been attracted by Aruna's rosy lips.
"When the wedding procession happens, and the invitees want to witness the French Kiss moment, of course, as the groom, I need to make sure my partner won't refuse it. There will be lots of family colleagues. It's not funny if that happens." Hendra's reason was quite reasonable.
"Alright... Well, I don't plan to write off point 21. But we have agreed on point 47 as well, meaning that points have the same legal power in our agreement." Aruna had another goal.
Something that was more important.
"I will erase point 47." (Points that came from Aruna) Hendra smiled happily at Aruna's words.
He quickly hid it so she won't undo it.
"Instead, I ask you to delete the last sentence in point 3. (But if the separation is still difficult to implement, it can be extended to the extent possible)."
Aruna needed certainty, 2 years. No more.
The power of Wenceslas's heir couldn't be predicted. If the sentence still existed, Aruna could be used as a doll for life.
Hendra was silent for a moment, their eyes met.
"If I don't want to?!" Hendra threw away his words while looking closely at Aruna.
"Points 47 will still be valid!" Said Aruna firmly. (47 = no physical contact means 21 cannot be enforced)
"I am making an offer. I am willing to delete my submission point. You also have to delete your point. Please select 21 or the last sentence of point 3." Aruna offered.
Aruna's words made Hendra carefully think about it.
If he didn't delete the last sentence from point 3, that girl would still try hard to get away from him after two years.

Unless, he could make her fall in love with him.
The man glanced deeper at Aruna's lips.
'Ah I can feel it once again' Hendra stood up to take a pen and crossed the last sentence on point 3.
Aruna looked relieved.
The woman sat back down and immersed herself in the MOU sheet. She was looking for a way to make the next negotiation.
"It's useless if you read it over and over again, your offers are only 2 simple points left. Not even written in the MOU, still, I'm willing to do it."
Hendra knew the points proposed by Aruna were only 3 very simple points.
*Respect for parents from both sides as a family (46) (this kind of thing must have been done by Hendra even when he was bullied by Aruna's older siblings. The man tried to maintain his logic)
*No physical contact (47) (Just crossed out)
*Not sleeping in one bed (48) (Hendra was not sure that the post-traumatic disorder he was suffering from can be controlled. He needed long treatment to just sleep in one bed with Aruna).
"Do not bother me!!" Aruna protested.
"What is this?" Aruna added.
"It is not allowed to store and consume benzodiazepine drugs (Sleeping pills), including Alprazolam, Lorazepam, Diazepam, Zolpidem, Temazepam, Estazolam (High-dose sleeping pills).
"What if these drugs are needed for medical treatment? Sickness can come at any time right!?" Aruna couldn't help thinking about such strange points of agreement.
"Even though I'm dying, I will not drink it. Including my wife, I will not allow you to take benzodiazepine." Hendra's words were cold and scary.
Aruna watched him, slightly shivered.
But, she couldn't bear to read another point that made no sense.
"Not allowed to sue, ask and hope to be treated when sick. Ah, why is this inhuman?" Aruna shook her head.
She couldn't understand Hendra's request.
"You can take care of me when I'm sick. But I can not necessarily do it for you." Hendra's expression turned from scary to a little uneasy.
Aruna didn't know at all.
Hendra couldn't deal with certain conditions, especially a woman who was lying sick.
"Why don't you write down the normal things like the general marriage agreement? No cheating, no chatting with other men, or leaving the house must be with the husband's permission." Aruna tried to make the agreement rational.
Hendra's agreement points were too unique.
Aruna was even unable to continue discussing the contents of their marriage contract.
"Something like that is not more important than what I put forward as our agreement points."
"What?? You can accept your wife walking with other people, but can not stand it when she sleeps earlier than you??"
"Yes, of course!"
"What's the problem then??" Hendra realised he was different.
"I understand now!!" Aruna exclaimed.
"You are not a mysterious blue-eyed man. That's too good." Aruna grumbled.
The first impression when she saw him.
"You are more suitable as a perverted man with strange thoughts." Aruna scoffed.
"Aah... You dare to insult me."
"It's not an insult, but reality, right!?" Aruna exclaimed.
Tania's rumour and his kiss were something perfect to conclude.
"With my status that is so attractive, I'm still a virgin. And how dare you call me a pervert!!?" Hendra approached Aruna.
He found Aruna's shoelaces untied, dangling on the floor.
With a little bit of ignorance, Hendra accidentally stepped on Aruna's shoelaces silently.
"Aaaaaa..." As predicted, the girl turned around, walked away, but her left shoe caught on something and lost balance.
Hendra immediately grabbed it, punishing the insult she had just made by holding tight as if he was helping.
Aruna's eyes widened in Hendra's arms.
She didn't want to be helped by being tightly hugged like this. Getting down was worth more than ending up in the annoying guy's arms.
Aruna tried to break away, pushing the man's body as hard as possible.
And a split second, the two of them were thrown to the floor.
Fortunately, Hendra was still able to support himself with his elbows and hands.
He didn't really squashed Aruna. Even though it seemed he did.
Aruna was still in shock with her falling body when the man's eyes above her darkened and too focused on observing her rosy lips he desperately wanted.
The neurons in his brain that had been paralyzed couldn't resist the desire that was rising in his heart.
The first kiss was so lasting. It made him want to feel it again and again.
The man approached, inhaling Aruna's breath right before the painful hard kick landed right on something valuable down there.
"Ouch... YOU.. !!"
"How dare you touch that...!!"
"Damn... Argh... It hurts... !!"
