Trial Marriage Husband : I Am CEO's Plaything

Chapter 267 - From A Nightmare

"Why is it, Lisa?" Oscar asked with a carefree face. That triumphant smile still showed on his handsome face.

"You didn't do anything illegal, didn't you?" Lisa replied, her voice sounding worried. 

Oscar didn't answer her question, instead the man snorted and then turned his gaze forward while crossing his two legs. He leaned back his head and then said, "I've taken care of that problem and you don't need to interfere."

The aura he emitted suddenly turned terrifying. Even though he smiled, the man looked cold and scary. Oscar turned to Lisa again, staring into her eyes that brightened with anxiety. "Don't worry about it. The man's problem with Andien was over. Your friend will be fine in the future, believe me," he said, trying to convince Lisa.

Hearing Oscar's words just now made Lisa's heart relieved. She shuffled from where she was sitting and then fiddled with her cell phone. Lisa was still curious about the news that Andien meant. A notification message from Andien came in shortly after Lisa hung up the call. 

Andien: Lisa, open this link.

Without thinking, Lisa pressed the link sent by Andien and then read it. "Charles Tandra, the suspect in the money laundering case was arrested, the company PT Tandra was forced to go out of business," she said to herself.

Oscar's cell phone rang when Lisa was reading a news article sent by Andien. The man picked up the phone then chatted with the caller on the other side. Only a few moments later, he finally hung up the call.

"Lisa, sorry I couldn't accompany you at the boarding house this afternoon. There is something urgent at the office," Oscar said hastily. At the same time, he called Dani and brought Lisa back to the boarding house.

Arriving at Lisa's boarding house, Dani helped unload all of her monthly groceries.

Before Oscar returned to the office, he hugged Lisa and kissed her on the forehead affectionately. "Lisa," he said softly, "Wait for me tonight after work, okay?"

Lisa nodded and smiled broadly. She went back inside then went up to the second floor. In the room, she laid down her tired body after shopping and "playing" in the car. It was the first time she was alone without Oscar's company this month. Usually, he would sleep next to her and gently stroke her hair until she fell asleep.

It was 12 o'clock, still a long day but Lisa suddenly fell asleep. The hot temperature that noon made her body sweat so badly that she turned around. 

"Brother!"

"Oscar! I won't let you live in this world, you have to die!" A man shouted while wielding a gun and pointing it at Oscar.

The man fired a bullet straight at Oscar's forehead until it penetrated the back of his head.

Oscar fell to his knees on the asphalt covered in blood.

Without Lisa realizing it, she was having a bad dream. She immediately woke up from her sleep and then took a deep breath as if she had just sunk into the deepest sea. The sky outside was not as bright as when she was awake.

The street lights outside gradually began to glow against the objects underneath.

Lisa rubbed her heavy eyes then looked at the clock on the wall.

"It's crazy, it's already 6 pm! Oh my god how long have I fallen asleep..." Lisa said softly. "What was my real dream just now? Oscar…. Oh my God!"

He dreamed that Oscar was being hunted down by a man who seemed to be his business rival. Lisa's hunch immediately made her uncomfortable and without saying much, she grabbed her cellphone and made a call to Oscar.

"The number you have dialed is not active or out of reach..."

Hearing the sound of an unconnected call just now made Lisa's heart flutter and her mind became even more anxious. What if Oscar was really in danger?! 

She was holding her hair while shaking her head to divert bad thoughts but the dream she had just now made her heart even more uneasy. Both of her hands started to sweat and her breath was hurrying. Slowly, she took a deep breath and then exhaled. She closed her eyes and prayed that Oscar would be all right.

"It's okay, Lisa, it's just your dream. Oscar will be okay. Calm down, you have to be calm," Lisa said, calming her frantic thoughts.

Suddenly, Lisa immediately went downstairs and then left her boarding house. She looked around the deserted, dim street with a worried look. Not long after, a black car pulled over in front of her boarding house. 

The headlights of the car were so bright they blinded Lisa's eyes. She closed her eyes and peeked through her fingers. 

The car then turned off its lights and engine. It did not look like the car belonged to Rangga nor Oscar. Lisa's mind was immediately flooded with bad thoughts, what if it was a kidnapper!?

Lisa immediately took a step back slowly to return to the boarding house. But when the car door opened, someone got out of the car and looked at Lisa who was standing stunned in front of the car. The woman then halted her steps.

Lisa was both surprised and relieved to look at the tall, slender man who came in one piece! Luckily it was just a bad dream!

Oscar frowned at the sight of the woman who was frozen and unmoved on the spot. "Lisa, what are you doing out here? Want to eat out?" He asked, looking a little confused.

Lisa immediately went to the golden haired man and hugged him tightly. "Oh my God! Good thing you survived, Oscar. I thought something bad happened to you!"

"Huh, what are you talking about? Something bad happened?" Oscar asked, getting more and more interested in Lisa's behavior. "Have you been drunk?"

"Not! I fell asleep all day and had nightmares. I'm really scared, I dreamed you were shot by an unknown man!" Lisa explained, her eyes getting teary, unable to hold back the fear of losing Oscar.

She then buried her face in Oscar's broad chest. The fragrance of the expensive perfume Oscar wore always made her calm and secure. She inhaled Oscar's intoxicating scent while rubbing her face.

Seeing Lisa worried, Oscar immediately stroked her silky hair gently. The man lifted Lisa's face so that their eyes met. "Thank you for worrying about me. That's a sign that you really love me,"

"I love you. Oscar! You think I'm lying? I don't want you to die because of your trouble with Charles Tandra!" Lisa answered, choking.

"Take it easy, I'll be fine. That perverted old man won't dare to deal with me again," Oscar replied casually. His voice sounded very soothing.

"I miss sleeping with you tonight, Oscar. I can't sleep peacefully if I don't have you beside me," Lisa said, holding back her sobs.

"Yes, I'm going to accompany you today, dear," Oscar replied, hugging Lisa.

"I tried to call you but you didn't answer, how could I not be anxious!" 

"Ouch, sorry about that. If I didn't pick it up then it's either I was so busy at the moment or my battery ran out!" Oscar replied, a little annoyed by Lisa's attitude, which was starting to worry too much.

"You also changed your car now! I thought someone tried to kidnap me earlier!" Lisa said again, getting annoyed.

"Yes, my Alphard is up for work," Oscar replied briefly.

Lisa stared at the man blankly. She didn't know what else to say, her mind was filled with great relief as she had Oscar coming to his destination completely and safely. That's enough for her.

The man then led her inside. Shortly after they entered, Lisa stopped then turned around, putting one of her tiny hands on Oscar's shoulder and said, "Oscar... Are you sure you didn't do anything illegal to silence Charles Tandra?"

Oscar ignored the question. For a moment he was silent then took a deep breath. "Are you still worried about that?"

"I just don't want you to die, Oscar! I'm so afraid of losing you." Lisa replied.

Hearing her words just now made the man's sexy lips pop. He lowered his head so that it was parallel to Lisa's face and then kissed her lips.

"Lisa, no one is really clean  in this world.. Sometimes we have to do something unexpected to survive," Oscar explained.
