You Are Still My Wife!

Dori reached California after a 60 hours flight journey. She was exhausted and had no strength to even hold her bag. As her house was seized by the police, she could only manage to stay in a hotel until she resolves all the issues. She hid her face and tried to stay low key to avoid media. However, by the time she was out at the airport rushing to the airport taxi she booked, she was already surrounded by reporters. She was shocked to see how reporters knew about her arrival to the city. She looked down and hurriedly sat inside the taxi. She was afraid that she will have a tough time and if her reputation is ruined badly, Idri may have second thoughts about marrying her. She called Idri in panic on her way back to the hotel but the call was immediately diverted to Tony.

Tony robotically answered the call, "Hello Miss Dori. This is Tony speaking, Mr Idri's driver How can I help you?"

Dori was irritated, "Why are you on the phone? Where is Idri?"

"I am sorry not to inform you earlier as you were traveling. Sir is not keeping well these days and doctor said he needs to rest well for at least two weeks. Hence, he is not attending to any call at the moment."

"What? Are you telling me that he will not attend his future wife's call too? Give the phone to him. I need to talk to him urgently." Dori sounded angry but as the driver was looking at her from the rearview mirror, she calmed herself down and acted normally. She cleared her throat and spoke, "Please let your sir know I called him. I would like to talk to him as early as possible. I reached California and heading to the Bonsai Hotel. Let him know I will look forward to his visit." She was so sweet all of a sudden like a change in the season that Tony could not help but laugh covering his mouth. He replied after a pause, "Sure Miss Dori. I will let him know once I get a chance to talk to him. He is resting. Thank You."

He disconnected the phone immediately and laughed. He dropped the text message to his boss "I spoke as you said. Sending in the conversation recording in chat box."

Seeing the message, he was laughing all by himself imagining her panic at the moment. He is yet to gather more information about her and avenge

He dragged himself into the room and laid down next to Frieze. He pulled her closer and held her tight. He instantly slept off and Frieze naturally kept her hands on his waist while still in deep sleep. He was relieved to sleep

In Bonsai Hotel...

and did not even look at the camera that was being focused on her from various angles. Her silence created much more suspicion about her activities in the city. She checked in soon and the porter helped her find her room while keeping

scarf from her face and breathed peacefully. She was troubled and her mind was not working at the moment. She called Idri again but his phone was switched off. Out of frustration, she threw her phone on the bed. She decided to take a shower first and order some food to eat. She undressed herself and sat in the bath tub. Her body seemed to be aching with all travel and change of flights. After a hot bath, she wore her bathrobe and dried the water dripping from her hair. She was still in her bathrobe drying her head. She stopped to check the hotel menu to order some food. She called up the
