Chapter 07

"Felicia!" Call the figure of a woman who is none other than Helena.

Edward stared blankly at the figure of the woman who casually entered without his permission.

Helena froze in front of the door. He thought Felicia was alone and it turned out that Edward was there. Oh, how's this? What did Helena have to say to twist the excuses.

"Has Hilary's family forgotten about etiquette, hm?" Edward quipped in his flat tone.

"N-not really, Sir. But- this is my son's house too, right? So what's the harm if I--"

"This is my house, not your son's. Who do you consider a child? Didn't you sell your crazy daughter to me? You traded your own son for some of my company stock if you forgot." remember Edward.

"Alright... I admit that Felicia isn't my daughter. I just came here to give your crazy wife a reckoning!"

Edward flashed his evil smile. "How dare you speak rudely to me? Are you ready to lose your home?"

"Sir, it's not like that. I'm sorry my wife. " Begged Charles, bowing before Edward, hoping for mercy from the man.

"Say what do you want?! " Press Edward.

Felicia, who felt disturbed woke up from her sleep and looked strangely at the people in her room. "What happened?" She asked.

"He's finally awake." squeaked Helena. It was obvious that the woman hated Felicia so much.

Felicia, or maybe Callista got out of bed in a non-elite. Edward raised his eyebrows thinly, he could already guess if Felicia had changed. He was just silent, wondering what she would do with the two evil parents in front of him.

"You--ah, you're my stepmother aren't you?" Callista recalled the figure of the woman in front of her.

"Crazy girl! You even forgot your own mother!" Helena growled, about to grab Callista's hair, but was quickly pushed aside by the woman.

"What are you going to do with my beautiful hair?"

"You dare to fight me? How dare you!" Elena was ready to slap Callista in the face. Callista reflexively slapped Helena's face first. Made everyone shocked.

Especially Charles and Edward. Felicia has always been known for her gentle nature. But now what?

"Ah, I'm sorry. I like the sudden reflex to retaliate against my opponent." Kikik Callista. To be honest, she did it on purpose because he didn't want to be oppressed.

"Felicia!" snapped Charles. Callista just stared lazily at the figure of the man standing nearby. He saw the man clenching his fists in anger.

"What? You want to slap me too?" Callista turned to Edward. "My husband? Don't you want to defend me?" She asked with a sad face.

Edward just pulled the corners of his lips, reluctant to respond to Callista's words.

"Tsk, what kind of husband are you, how annoying." lazy Callista, she approached her parents while holding her chest.

"Why did you guys come here, huh?!" Callista snapped.

"Don't play dumb, Felicia."

I? Pretending to be stupid? Come on... don't talk too much, tell me quickly! " Callista grew bolder, remembering that they were only fictional characters. Callista remembered that Felicia's parents were very evil and they always tortured Felicia inhumanely because Felicia met Edzard Wait! Did Felicia just meet Edzard? She brain wondered.

"You dare to play behind your own sister's back! You're married, Felicia! Did you deliberately want to betray your husband and have an affair with your sister's husband?" Helena deliberately acted in tears while glancing at Edward, hoping that the man would be angry with Felicia.

Felicia scratched her head in confusion, she didn't really understand what the woman in front of her was saying. If only he could replace Felicia's soul in the future, Callista would not give Felicia an opening to meet Edzard.

"I will take care of my family, you can leave here. You have disturbed my comfort." Edward decided, he just didn't want to hear his mother-in-law's boring drama.

The two parents left holding back their emotions, their self-esteem was destroyed because they were openly expelled by their own daughter-in-law.

After the departure of the two people know Felicia. Edward approached Callista while being approached only put on a stupid face.

"What? Don't get too close. It's not good for my heart." Callista cupped her hot cheeks.

"Tell me! Did you just meet Edzard?" Edward asked, though he already knew everything Felicia had done. He just wanted this woman's honesty. If Felicia dodged, then Edward would assume that Felicia had conspired with Edzard to trick his.

"I didn't see Edzard." Callista was honest because she didn't meet the man, but Felicia did.

Edward nodded confidently, well… sure in the event that Felicia tricked him on purpose. "Okay, you can sleep." Edward broke up feeling hurt. If only Felicia had nothing to do with Edzard maybe Edward would open his heart to her.

Callista looked confused at Edward's face. It's very clear if the man is holding back a heartache, for some reason. "Sir, I want to talk to you. Are you very busy?" To be honest, Callista really wanted to chat a lot with the man of her dreams. She wanted to get to know Edward better, she wanted to know what this man liked because there was no explanation in the novel for all that.

"Don't make me more emotional." Flat Edward.

Callista doesn't understand, why does Edward have to be emotional? He just wanted to talk nothing more. Did Edward hate Felicia that much? Then why did Edward dare to touch Felicia if he didn't like her? Callista thought.

"Edward, I--"

"Don't you understand what I'm saying, huh?! I don't want to waste my energy just talking to you!" annoyed Edward.

Callista was surprised she was sick to hear the screams of the man in front of her. "Why? Are you that disgusted with me? I just wanted to get to know you, before I left." Callista whispered at the end of her sentence.

Edward squinted his eyes, she didn't hear wrong did she? Felicia is leaving? Oh, of course he's going with Edzard, Edward muttered.

"Is this what you wanted? Now you can take it and you can go as you please." Edward gave away the precious gem he had. Of course it's fake. He just wanted to know what Felicia would do, would she give this thing to Edzard?

But unexpectedly, this Felicia seemed not interested in the object in Edward's hand.

"What's this?" asked Callista with her innocent face.

"Don't act stupid, this is what you want from me, right?"

Callista took the object from Edward's hand, staring intently until her pupils widened. "Can I have it? I'll take this thing home and sell it and then buy a novel, or maybe I can buy the publishing house too!" Callista exclaimed.

Edward didn't understand what Felicia was saying. Felicia will sell this thing? Come on, this is beyond Edward's mind.

"You don't want to give this thing to your lover?"

Callista stared at Edward silently. "Love? I already have a handsome husband like you, rich, and what I want you easily grant. Then why should I have a lover? Don't be silly."

"You still want to lie to me? Even everyone knows that you relate to my sister."

"Me? Your sister? Hey, isn't she married to my sister? Then why am I the third person? It's so funny." Callista laughed but her eyes focused on the diamond she was holding.

Edward shook his head in disbelief, as if he didn't recognize his own wife. "Call the doctor, and see how Felicia is doing."

Lily, who was guarding Felicia immediately nodded.

After Edward left, Lily drew closer to Callista. "Miss, don't you want to give this thing to Mr. Edzard?" he asked enthusiastically, because Felicia had told him once that she married Edward just to get this gem and then gave it to Edzard. And they got married after that.

"Tsk, your question is the same. Why should I give this expensive thing to someone else? If I can have it myself and take it home."

Lily scratched her head, why does this lady always say she wants to go home. Isn't this where Felicia lives? Ah, he should immediately call the doctor, according to his master's orders.

Callista was confused about where to store it, she couldn't possibly keep it in this room. If Felicia finds out, then that woman will give this thing to Edzard. Oh no. Callista didn't want that to happen. She rushed out of his room, looking for something to dig into the ground behind his room. Then buried the object, he would take it when she returned to his original world later. Calculate after leaving, she will be a rich man and make his parents happy. Don't bother with work or school. She could buy as many novels as he wanted.

Callista returned to her room and there was already a doctor ready to treat the woman.

A few minutes after the doctor checked Felicia's condition, the doctor stated that Felicia was fine. His mental state is also good, it can even be said to be healthy inside and out. Hearing that statement suddenly made Lily and Edward confused. Is it true that Felicia is acting in front of Edward? Edward had to be extra careful with this woman.

"Hey, what's with your pale faces? I'm fine, I'm not going to die." Callista laughed, thinking that the two of them were worried about her situation.

"I want to sleep, huh! Looks like the doctor just gave me sleeping pills. " Callista sets her pillow, then lay down and surfed in the dream world.

Night fell, Lily built Felicia. Felicia slowly opened her eyes and was confused when she saw the atmosphere turning into night.

"Did something happen to me?" Felicia asked, she remembered being in the basement and Edward found out that she was meeting Edzard. Remembering that made Felicia's hairs grow. How did Edward react? Was the man mad at him? Felicia's mind was troubled.

"Miss, Mr. Edward is waiting for you in the dining room." said Lily.

"No, I'm afraid to meet him, he will be very angry with me." Felicia whispered.

"What are you afraid of?"

Felicia's body stiffened when she heard the voice of the man she was so afraid of. Felicia did not dare to look at the man. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to do that behind your back."

Edward pulled the corners of his lips, bringing his face closer to Felicia's. Lifting her chin so that she looked directly into his eyes. "A few hours ago you just said you didn't see Edzard, then now you were saying sorry. What exactly are you hiding from me, hm? Don't confuse me Felicia, I can do anything to you. You're just a useless woman that your family should you. me."

Felicia's tears just flowed without being told. Again she had to feel the deepest pain just because of the words that escaped Edward's lips. Felicia really felt useless here. "Why don't you just get rid of me, sir? You even know what my purpose is to marry you. I've betrayed you, I love your brother."
