"What are you hiding from me?! Tell me everything now!"

The harsh voice shouted angrily as soon as they entered the penthouse. The tall figure walked to stand near the window. His eyes were dark and ready to jump her bones.

Ben and James suddenly stopped at the front of the door. They did not dare to approach even one step because this time, looking at the big boss, they knew that the time bomb was about to explode.

Wirata handed Summer to James. He hurriedly accepted and had an excuse to walk away to the office. Ben stood and waited in case Wirata wanted help. But she nodded him to follow James. The bodyguard bowed a little before leaving the two bosses to confront each other comfortably.

"What are you talking about, Stefan? I am not hiding anything from you."

Wirata made a plain expression without letting him have a suspicion that she was looking for a way to get herself out of the bad situation. His eyes were dark staring at her intensely.

"Don't you give me bullshit! You and the jackass Birdie sent a secret language in front of my eyes. It's too much! "

He shouted with anger.

"Are you crazy? What's the secret language? I was just greeting him. "

Wirata responded with a hard voice. Stefan sent her daggered eyes showing that he did not believe her words.

"Where is your phone? Give it to me!"

He ordered fiercely. Stefan recalled back to her suspicious behavior the night before. Wirata went a little pale because she had not deleted the message from Bernardo yet!

"It's getting too much, Stefan. The phone is personal property. I do not allow you to intruse my personal rights. You have bought only my body. Apart from that, you have no right to overstep."

She made her point clearly. Stefan went straight to her and grabbed her. The big hand squeezed her chin, forcing her to look up at his face.

"What are you afraid of if you are innocent?! I just want to check your phone to see that my courtesan didn't play behind my back! Wait for one year after we finished and then you can do whatever you want! "

The furious tone shouted loudly. Wirata saw that he was really angry. His handsome face was tense and his eyes had fire blaze ready to burn everything in his way!

Wirata took a breath in and tried to calm herself to be in control. The beautiful face lifted up to stare into his eyes, challenging him fearlessly. She felt bitter in her heart with the word "courtesan". Although she was trying to accept her present fate but if he kept throwing this word at her and kept reinforcing and mocking like this, her heart couldn't help to feel pain deep inside.

"Don't worry, Stefan. A courtesan like me also has her own dignity and honor to keep as well. I already told you that within one year I will be faithful to you physically. But for my heart, it's my right if I want to give it to any man I love and nothing to do with you! "

The intense and serious voice spoke. Her pretty face lifted up with her eyes telling that she was not let him bully her one side. Stefan gritted his teeth. Her heart? What did she mean?!

"Do you like Bernardo?! "

He yelled and then grabbed her arm dragged her to the bedroom and slammed the door close. The thick hands threw the slim body to the middle of the bed.

"It isn't your business, Stefan. Do not forget that the heart is the matter of the heart. You don't have to know about where my heart goes. For us, we involve only the physical level. And most importantly, you are the owner of my body for just one year. And now why are you angry with me? What for? "

Wirata held her head up high. She moved to sit her back agaist the bed head, staring at him with fierce eyes.

Her question made Stefan paused to think about why he was angry with her.

"I don't like you to act like I'm a fool! Acting as if I am a stupid idiot who doesn't know you are flirting with Bernardo. Do you like him or not? Answer me!"

He continued to yell. Shoved his hand into his hair furiously. Wirata watched him closely. He was angry and she was trying to stay calm. She had learned that she shouldn't provoke him to be more angry. Otherwise, she might not have survived until tomorrow morning.

"Calm down first, Stefan ... Listen ... I didn't do anything to betray you. If I did, it would be because I have well-wishing for you. I swear. "

Wirata said with a serious voice. Stefan stared at her. She was leaning her back against the bed. Until now, she had no attitude to fear him. She stared back at him eye to eye.

Wirata saw that he was quiet. She touched on the mattress to tell him to sit beside her.

He threw out a loud breath. The face remained sullen and the tall figure unwillingly stepped up onto the bed to sit next to her.

He crossed his arms. They were sitting shoulder to shoulder silently.

Wirata waited for him to cool down. When she saw him sit quietly, she pulled his hand to join her. He was a big headstrong man, must use cool and calm action to fight against him. The more violent, the more boiling. She would have to live with him for a long time. Therefore, it was not worth it to incite his temper. Because the person who would be in trouble and suffer was Wirata herself.

"Okay, you have a secret to hide from me. And don't tell me that there is nothing because I don't believe you. Tell me honestly now. Do it when I give you the opportunity. Otherwise, don't say I didn't warn you. "

The dark tone said still lingered with a lot of dissatisfaction. Wirata looked down at the hands that clasped together on her lap and squeezed gently.

"You promise first that you will not be angry."

"I won't promise, because I do not know yet,"

He answered with an impulsive voice without wasting time to think. Wirata sighed.

"Then someday I will tell you. But not now."

She said. Stefan made a nasty snob.

"Tell me now, Wirata before I run out of patience! "

Stefan didn't like anyone to act like he was a fool. Especially those he raised with wings to protect. He felt being betrayed. Wirata remained silent for a moment.

"May I ask you a question?"

The soft voice said. The beautiful face turned to look at him. Stefan still felt angry because he had not yet received the answer to the complaint. The picture of Bernardo greeted her as though they were very familiar. And she also smiled and responded sweetly.

"Say it."

"Are you jealous?"

The sound was smooth, asking straight forward. Stefan immediately gasped.

"What? Jealous? What do you mean? Jealous for what?"

He made a high pitch. His face looked shocked like she said something very wrong. Then he seemed to get it a little. The mouth got twitching in smirking immediately.

"Jealous of you? Don't be narcissistic. I'm not jealous of you ...But I just don't like it! "

He said after paused for a moment to find the right words.

"Why don't you like it?"

"Because you are mine now. I don't like you to look at any man like that. Wait until I get bored first. Only one year at the max. "

He spoke fluently when he found the reason to support his action.

"Okay. So you are not jealous?" She asked again.

"Not jealous but don't like it! From now on, you are not allowed to smile at any man. You can look at me and smile to me only! "

Wirata listened and gasped.

"And don't let me see you give a sweet flirting smile to Bernardo again!" The fierce voice ordered.

Wirata listened and waited for him to calm down which took a moment when he only sat and their hands still joined on her lap.

"Stefan."

"What?"

He seemed to be less anger but still continued to make a moody face.

"Are you sure you are definitely not jealous?"

"I'm not jealous!" He turned to make an annoying sound.

"But you don't like it."

Wirata said to emphasize.

"Correct! How could I be jealous? I never love anyone. I don't waste my time to be jealous. As I said I just don't like it. "

"Really?"

Wirata just tried to talk to him to make him calm down and the main true reason behind it was to make him forget about the phone.

"YES! Really. Don't talk too much. I'm still angry with you!"

He made a hysterical voice when he realized that the case had not been settled.

"Okay. You don't have to be angry or displeased. I already promised that you will be the only man I will be with throughout our one year contract. "

Wirata spoke in a gentle voice. Raised his hands to her cheek. He seemed to forget about the phone now. Wirata hid her relief inside. She moved her shoulder to tough his broad shoulder.

"Don't you know that getting angry too often is bad for you? Since I was here. I can see many wrinkles increased on your face."

The soft voice teased.

"It's because of you."

He immediately accused her of giving him stressed.

"That isn't fair to blame me. You like to argue. Do you know that you are self-willed like to please yourself and blame others? "

She said frankly. Stefan already knew that she was a straightforward person and not afraid to express her opinions, never being scare of him. He probably had to accept her identity in this verse. The intention that he wanted her to be terrified and afraid probably had to be thrown away.

She said that she was not afraid of bad people but being considerate and paid respect to only good people.

Stefan believed he was a good person... He loved his dad, loved his mom, loved his brother, and love animals ... Especially Summer. He loved him like his own child.

"You are the first person to accuse me like that which I have no idea how to be a self-willed person. "

He responded, pulled her to hug. She let him cuddle her. He definitely forgot about the phone now. But she had to make sure a bit more!
