Chapter 40 - A car

I dont believe in love at first sight, because I am more interested in the love what my heart sees, not my eyes.

_Hans Matthew_

☘️☘️☘️

Hans neutralized his feelings of emotion, calmed down again and answered Achiera, "Finish your meal, I have two surprises for you."

 Hans smiled sweetly while narrowing one eye.

 Again and again, Achiera was mesmerized by Hans's smile which always managed to bewitch her to a halt.  So that it made her lose her consciousness and didn't hear clearly anything that was said by Hans.

 With curiousness, Hans waved his hand almost close to Achiera's face, making the woman awaken from Hans's enchantment magic.

 "Achiera, why are you glaring at me?" Hans asked after Achiera brought the food back into her mouth.

"Did you listen to what I said earlier?" Hans asked again.

  Achiera was short and a little nervous as if there was nothing. "Oh sure, why not?"

 "Then why didn't you answer, when I said, there's a present for you?"  Hans protested.

 "That's because—" Achiera paused and thought for a moment.

 "What, Hans? A present?" Achiera asked after digesting Hans's words.

Hans put the spoon and fork on the plate then glanced softly at Achiera and said, "Does that mean you listen to me?"

 It was obvious that Hans was teasing Achiera. His tone, sounding full of honey, it was so sweet!

 Achiera tried to dodge and justify herself.  "Ah no! I mean, what do you want to give me a gift?"

 "Don't make an excuse...!!!" Hans sneered.  "Actually, it's not a big gift. Just a small gift as a token of gratitude," he continued, then paused for a moment.

"If you want to know what your prize is, immediately finish your meal and look ahead," he said again.

 Quickly Achiera immediately finished eating, she drank a sip of milk, then left with a little run to the front yard of Hans Villa.  Hans who saw Achiera immediately ran, finished eating and chased after Achiera.

 "Hans, where's the prize?" Achiera asked, confused, because she did not see anything in Hans' spacious front yard.

Hans chuckled and grabbed Achiera while saying, "Look over there, that is your present." Hans showed her a red car branded Lamborghini Veneno that he bought the other day, before in the end he had the little incident.

 Not surprised, or even sparkling in her eyes.  Achiera's response was unexpected.  "How come the car?" She said a little disappointed.

 Hans felt strange at Achiera's response. "Oh dear, don't you like this little gift of mine? That's very good, right? Just look!"

Achiera saw a beautiful sports car parked right in the yard overlooking the park, and wrapped in colored ribbons as if it had been a gift.

 Achiera glanced at Hans with a full question mark.  Hans returned Achiera's glances softly and said,

 "If you really don't like it, we'll replace it with what you like!"

 "Hans ... Is this what you mean a little gift?" Achiera protested.

 "It's just a little gift. And I'll throw it away if you don't like it!"

"It's not that I don't like it. But I never thought I would get a car. I thought you were giving something else," Achiera explained.

 "And please! It's very expensive but you call it a little gift? Do you realize, you almost took me to death by surprise!" Achiera protested.

 "Achiera Grey, you are the woman of Hans Matthew. So things like this are small things. You have to get used to it. In the future too you are the wife of the number one man in country F. The house and company will also be yours. Then is this still a big gift in your opinion?" Hans said arrogantly and confidently.

Achiera was so moved by Hans's words, she almost shed tears.  Somehow if Hans mentioned marriage and it involved her, her feelings would be chaotic.  Because her dream has always been a marriage and marriage to the man her heart chooses.

 That dream was once thrown away, because he had given himself to a Hans Matthew.

However, who knows the end of a destiny, Hans Matthew, who was known for his cold attitude towards women and closed his heart tightly from women, and thought that women were nothing but toys for him, eventually gave up and fell in love with an innocent woman like Achiera.

 Sometimes it was the innocence and self-righteousness of a person's not trying to manipulate others, making self-worth appear higher. It was able to touch the hearts of other people.  That was how Hans had felt, who finally managed to melt the chunks of ice in his heart.

Hans looked at Achiera who was holding back tears, it made Achiera's eyelids red filled with tears.  Hans embraced Achiera and calmed the woman, then said softly while stroking Achiera's back.

 "What's the matter? Don't you like my present?" Hans asked.

 "It's okay, I was just moved when I heard about marriage. It was like a dream to me," replied Achiera honestly, she hugged Hans and bursted out all the emotional feelings she had been holding.

"I will make your dream come true, because I also want a complete family," Hans replied, but his eyes were closed to try to get rid of the grudge that had suddenly come to fill his heart.

 The image of his broken family, always appeared in his mind whenever he discussed family.

'No...!  I can't falter anymore, I've decided to forget about it.  All grudges are over.  Alright, since your father destroyed my family in the past, then you have to replace it by giving me a new and whole family like what I have longed for so far, making everything that was lost become whole again.  You're the daughter of my family destroyer, I demand a family from you.  It's my new way of getting revenge.  Because in the end, I lost again in your love, something that was never expected.  Looks ridiculous, right?' Hans thought to himself.  He tightened his embrace even more as a sign of releasing his revenge.

"Achiera ... You know, I'm serious with what I said," He said then kissed the forehead of a woman who somehow became his priority.

 Achiera closed her eyes to enjoy the beautiful poetry that Hans uttered, the tears that had been dammed up, were now streaming down her cheeks.

 "Aren't you planning to try your present?" Hans asked, breaking Achiera's mood, who was being carried away by her feelings.

 "But ... I can't drive." Achiera said quietly as she lowered her head down.

"What doubts about driving! Tell me, do you want a coach from a class or specifically taught by your husband?" Hans asked then paused for a moment.

 "I will tell you the truth ... I'm an expert in teaching someone, believe me I will not disappoint you. The proof is that you were innocent, I can succeed in making you smart, right?" Hans continued, hinting that something was intended to tease Achiera.

 Again and again Achiera's cheeks turned red at Hans's shameless words.

 "You pervert! Does the head of a famous workholic president of Hans contain such nonsense?"  Achiera sneered.
