Obsessed Ex-Boyfriend
"Hey! How dare you punch me in the face, John!" shouted Edmund staring blankly at John, he clenched his fists to punch John back.
"If you don't want me to punch you, don't insult me! Got it!" blurted out John.
Seeing John and Edmund still busy fighting in front of him, Anthony stood up from his seat after he had been punched by John.
"John!" Anthony grabbed his seat and with full force, smashed John's head from behind.
"Argh… you bastard." John fell to the ground, unconscious.
All the visitors at the bar fell silent when they saw the fight between the three men who worked at PT. Pacific Jaya. A company engaged in contracting. The visitors distanced themselves so that they would not get inflicted with the riot.
Meanwhile, the bartender rushed to call the security guard outside the bar to kick them out, at the same time throwing John out of the bar because they had caused a lot of trouble in the place.
The bartender approached the security guard who was burly, tall, and had a grim face, then shook the security guard's arm.
"Quick Sir, come with me inside! There are people there who have had a fight, one of them fainted from being smashed in the head!" cried the bartender frantically.
Hearing the bartender's words just now, the security guard rushed into the bar. The bartender followed behind. They walked over to the three men who were acting there, then he dragged Edmund and Anthony roughly out of the bar.
Meanwhile, the bar patrons watched them from their seats.
"Watch out! If you dare to mess around, here again, I will not hesitate to expel you in a way that is much more violent towards you!" threatened the security guard putting a fierce look on the two men.
They were forced to remain silent because they did not dare to fight the security guard who was very tall. After kicking Edmund and Anthony away, the security guard entered the bar, carried John on his back, and dropped John in front of the bar.
John had an argument with two of his colleagues who worked at a branch company until he was unconscious. He wasted his time in another city, without thinking at all about his wife and child. But he couldn't really care less. Since he was truly disappointed and angry with Audrey. He already lost any amity with her, and even didn't care anymore about what would happen to his life.
That he even took out his disappointment with Audrey on hooking up with some other woman he had known some time ago, while he was staying at his cousin's house in Bali.
What kind of husband could have an affair, when his wife was pregnant with their first child.
But his actions were not baseless. If the night Audrey hadn't gone with Alvin to their high school friends' reunion, maybe John wouldn't be ignoring his wife right now. Or maybe their relationship would not be so strained as this.
*****
The beginning of everything that caused the rift in Audrey's household began when Alvin offered to pick up Audrey at the reunion.
Alvin was Audrey's ex-boyfriend during high school and he was obsessed with the beautiful woman who was the Bella of their school. Though they didn't end up together, he tried every chance he could get to be with Audrey. But she rejected him all the time, telling him that she was busy with work.
But Alvin finally got a chance to be with Audrey. It was the time around for their high school reunion. He invited Audrey, who would like to escort her to the venue. And he even used some of her classmates before, to press Audrey to attend the reunion, telling her that she had never gone to a reunion so at least this once, they wished for her to attend and talk about the old times.
In the end, Audrey reluctantly agreed. Even though Audrey actually felt uncomfortable going out with other men, she couldn't help but accept Alvin's offer without thinking negatively about him. She was just simply thinking that after he escorted her to the venue, she would go home after a few hours of staying and talking with her old friends.
As a wife, of course, she told John that she was going to the event with an old friend, and at the same time asked John's permission. John agreed that time without thinking much. And since he had work to do, he couldn't really escort Audrey. He also had complete trust in Audrey that she would do anything that would hurt him or destroy their marriage.
However, he trusts his wife. But the people around her were not someone to be trusted. He failed to see all of this in the end.
When they came home from the reunion, Alvin didn't immediately take Audrey to her house but took her to the hotel, telling her that he had something to get there and from time to time chat with Audrey.
Without Audrey knowing, Alvin trapped Audrey by putting sleeping pills into her drink.
At the hotel, Audrey was made to sleep with Alvin. Towards morning, Alvin quietly left the hotel feeling very satisfied and with a victory in hand.
Alvin is a rich and powerful person, so he is able to do whatever he liked including searching for John's personal data.
After he found John's cell phone number, Alvin asked his assistant to send a photo of Audrey wearing only a thick blanket, where Alvin seemed to be doing something forbidden to the woman.
When John received all the photos, his attitude changed completely from a kind, gentle, and caring husband, to a cold, indifferent man, who ignored Audrey's pregnancy, he even hurt his wife by saying that the fetus Audrey was carrying was not John's seed.
He left Audrey and hooked up with a different woman. While Audrey worked hard to support herself and save money so that when her baby was born, she had enough expenses that would help them live.
