Trial Marriage Husband : I Am CEO’s Plaything

The next day, Lisa got up early as usual. She took a shower then made up her mind to go to the office. The woman looked for her cell phone on the nightstand but she couldn't find it. She searched all corners of her room, but the result was still the same.

"Where is my cellphone? I thought I charged it near the bed last night?"

Lisa started to panic. Last night she slept alone, so she was sure no thief tried to get into her room to take her cellphone. She knew Oscar's house was very safe, there was no way a thief would dare to enter. If a thief had tried to get in, she would have woken up by then!

Lisa was circling on the spot, her palms starting to sweat, frantically looking for her cell phone that had just disappeared. She had searched in every corner of the room but she could not find the most important thing in her life!

The woman then fell silent trying to calm down. She closed her eyes for a moment, wondering where the cellphone might be. Her forefinger twisted in the air in a searching gesture. Her eyes were still closed but with knitted brows. She tried to remember again.

"Oh, maybe Mrs. Rusminah knows!"

Lisa came down from the second floor to meet the household assistant. She thought maybe the middle-aged woman knew about her cellphone that disappeared this morning. Lisa rushed to the kitchen to find Mrs. Rusminah sweeping the floor.

"Morning, Mrs. Rusminah. Do you know where my cellphone is? I've been looking for it but I can't seem to find it," Lisa asked, a little struggling.

"Miss, why are you wearing office clothes? Mr. Oscar told you to stay at home, you know," Mrs. Rusminah said, dodging Lisa's question.

"Okay, forget about my clothes, but I really need my cell phone ma'am! Did Oscar take my cell phone?" Lisa's voice began to rise, she almost yelled at Mrs. Rusminah.

"Miss, I don't know anything about your cell phone. What's clear is, Mr. Oscar told me to look after you at home. Please stay at home, okay? It's a pity for your child if you get tired from working too hard. I've made breakfast for you, please eat it."

Lisa suspected the household assistant was hiding something from her. Something felt off, it seemed like Mrs. Rusminah was trying to cover up something. Yes, she was sure of that. Lisa's original question wasn't even answered at all, and it was diverted instead!

"Ma'am, I really need my cellphone to work. Please tell me if it is hidden by my husband or where, anyway I really need my cell phone!" Lisa asked once again, this time her voice rose a little.

Mrs. Rusminah shook her head pretending not to know. The middle-aged woman put her broom down at the end of the room and said, "Miss, listen to me. Don't go to the office. Let Mr Oscar work hard for you and your children. You are pregnant, you know! Pregnant women should stay home to rest plenty of time and eat healthy foods. I'm here always ready to help you with what you need!"

"Mrs. Rusminah, I appreciate your hard work as a good household assistant. But I can work alone. I don't need Oscar's help. I can take good care of myself at the office! So please ma'am, help me find my cell phone then."

"Miss, I don't know where your cellphone is, maybe you forgot where you put it last time. Or maybe Mr Oscar accidentally took it with him? I don't know Miss."

Lisa's patience had run out. From her attitude, Mrs. Rusminah was clearly conspiring with her husband to prevent Lisa from going to the office. Lisa was very sure that her cellphone was hidden by this household assistant.

"Mrs. Rusminah, don't pretend you don't know and don't lie! I know you hid my cellphone somewhere, so I can't go to the office right? Is that the order from my husband?" Lisa said sharply.

"Miss, please don't go to the office! Mr. Oscar threatened to fire me if I let you go to the office! Please help me, miss, I am already old and I don't have the energy to find a new job other than serving Mr. Oscar. Please Miss Lisa, for the sake of me and my family in the village, don't go to the office! If I get fired, my family in the village won't be able to eat anything, Miss..."

Mrs. Rusminah then knelt and kissed Lisa's feet. She showed that all of her words were not lies.

Lisa couldn't bear to hear Mrs. Rusminah's story as the middle-aged woman started to shed tears. She then helped the middle-aged woman get up and said, "Okay, I'm not going to the office. Don't worry you can keep your job."

"Thank you so much, Miss Lisa! I am really indebted to you!"

"Well since I didn't go to the office, can I have my cell phone back? I want to call my mother," Lisa asked a little sharply.

"Oh about that cellphone..." Mrs. Rusminah looked down, her voice was trembling a little. She didn't want to tell Lisa but she couldn't bear to see the pregnant woman feeling disappointed by what Oscar had ordered her. "Mr. Oscar brought your cellphone to the office, he said so that you won't go outside or call your male friend…"

"Oscar took my cell phone!? Why? Isn't it enough for him to lock me up in the house until this child is born!? That bastard foreigner!" Lisa couldn't take it anymore, she started breaking one of the flower vases in the dining room so loudly that it broke into pieces.

Mrs. Rusminah was shocked when she heard the loud sound of broken glass that echoed throughout the room downstairs. The middle-aged woman approached Lisa anxiously, grabbing her shoulder to calm her down.

"Miss, don't get angry like that, pregnant women shouldn't be angry, the child in the womb will feel sad, you know... Mr. Oscar brought your cellphone for your own good, please understand."

Lisa didn't pay attention to what Mrs. Rusminah said. In fact, she was even more furious that the middle-aged woman didn't help her at all. She began to lose control of her mind, screaming loudly and wildly.

"Oscar you bastard! This is all because of you! I can't call my mom at a critical time like this!"

The pregnant woman grabbed her own hair as if she was possessed by some kind of evil. Lisa didn't know what else to do. She desperately needed her cell phone to call her mother who she hadn't seen in a long time and the one she needed the most especially when Lisa lost control of herself like today.

"Miss, if you need to talk to your mother... you can use the house's telephone, it's no problem," Mrs. Rusminah said, pointing to the telephone table.

"The problem is my cellphone was taken by Oscar! How do I find the phone number for Mom's new apartment? All the numbers of my friends and family are on my cell phone!" Lisa snapped.

Lisa couldn't take it anymore. She rose with anger burning in her heart. She went into the living room to see all the ornaments and home decorations she could destroy. Her first gaze was on the expensive painting Oscar bought from Europe. Lisa grabbed the painting plastered in the living room and smashed it with any object she could grab.

Lisa knew that money was not Oscar's problem so even if the expensive items in their house were destroyed, the man could surely buy them back.

Not satisfied with expensive paintings, Lisa looked for Oscar's other expensive items to destroy. She came into the living room and destroyed the rows of vases until the loud crashing sounds echoed in all corners of the room.

Mrs. Rusminah screamed to stop Lisa but it didn't work. Lisa was really angry and lost control.

"This is my revenge for you Oscar! I'm sure you can buy these things again!" Lisa shouted, throwing a flower vase against the window. A small crack appeared in the window's glass, and the vase that was thrown shattered to pieces.

Still annoyed, Lisa went to Oscar's private room where her husband kept the souvenirs he brought home when he traveled the world. Lisa saw four shelves full of souvenirs made of glass. They easily became her next targets.

'I'll show you how broken my heart is because of you Oscar!'
