Genius Child For a Cold-hearted CEO
Chapter 45

... A Ring...

In a workspace located on the top floor of Aksara Enterprise. A haired man was standing while folding his hands on his chest. He looked at the skyline around him. That man is none other than Ravindra Damarishvara. Rava's nickname was thinking about what he did last night with Irene. The night he prepared with Long An, to express his feelings for Irene.

Flashbacks

“But, before I receive your heart. I want to ask you one thing.”

“Say.”

“10 years ago. Do you still remember? If ever spend the night with a girl?” Irene asked Ravindra seriously.

Irene's question that night. Make Ravindra try to remember the events of 10 years ago. The 10-year event is not an easy one to remember because the time span is so long. Dibenak Ravindra, embedded confusion that surrounds it. While thinking, Rava remembered something. He immediately rushed to pick up a square box in his desk drawer. The square box he had long kept.

Rava immediately opened a square box that turned out to contain a ring. Ring with lotus flower engraving on the eyes. Instantly Ravindra's mind floated. Trying to remember what happened 10 years ago. However, before his memory returned to the time 10 years ago. Suddenly there was a noise from outside his study.

“Mistress, Mr. Ravindra is not looking to receive guests.” Mr. Albert's voice sounds loud.

Suddenly the door opened and a 45-year-old woman stood in front of Ravindra. Looked at with a sharp look. Ravindra was calm and clasped the lotus flower-eyed ring in her hand. He looked at the woman who had just entered with a cold look. The woman had a shoulder-length haircut. Wearing long pants with simple makeup. Even though her makeup looks simple. However, the woman looked elegant from the appearance she showed.

“Mr Ravindra, forgive me.” said Mr. Albert while looking down, because he felt that he failed to prevent the woman from entering Ravindra's office.

“It's okay. You can exit.” Ravindra command.

Mr. Albert lowered his head and let him out of the room. Now, Ravindra faced the woman who put on the look of an upset face.

“What about parents like this is your treatment?” ask the woman in anger.

“I'm doing a lot of work. So, I asked asissten not to let anyone in.”

The 45-year-old woman was just grieving. Seeing Ravindra's still indifferent attitude.

“I really don't understand. What makes Rosalind still survive waiting for you after so many years.” said the woman was cynical.

“You, must have just come from abroad. Please sit first.” pinta Rava.

“I didn't come here to be friendly with you.” said the woman sniffled while folding her hands on the chest.

“If so, what do you want from me?” asked Rava in a calm manner.

“Rosalind comes from a rich and respectable family. He is also a former international archery athlete. For the sake of being close to you. Rosalind chose to devote herself to be a Deputy Director at AA School. Rosalind is also a beautiful woman. Why until this second, you still hang the status. I am as his mother. Will not accept it.” replied the 45-year-old woman who is none other than the mother of Rosalind.

“From then until this second, I have no feelings whatsoever with your daughter. I've said that many times to him. The engagement between us, aren't you the ones who arranged it? So, don't sue me to marry him.” Ravindra replied firmly while looking into Rosalind's mother's eyes.

Rosalind's mother was visibly riled up by Rava's reply, which seemed to demean the Birgita family.

“No problem about that. I will accept whatever punishment you give me later. But really, we better end this arranged engagement. Than torment Rosalind.” Ravindra said so firmly. As if he wasn't afraid of the risks.

Rosalind's mother showed a look of anger. His eyes were reddened with deep anger.

“Do not think, you are a great person. I will tell my husband, to break off the cooperation with Aksara Enterprise. The Birgita family will also not help lobby in terms of building a guesthouse for athletes.” threatened Ms. Rosalind.

“If that's his decision. I think it'll be better. Enterprise is also not a company that you can underestimate. We can do it ourselves without the help of the Birgita family. After all if this engagement continues to be forced. It wouldn't be better. Especially just for business purposes only.” replied Rava did not want to lose.

“You???!!!! what a man who can't appreciate women!” Shouted Rosalind's mother full of anger.

“I am not a good person and cannot appreciate women. But I will make a decision for my own life. I've found a woman of hearts. I want to live with the woman of my choice. The woman who taught me meant a warmth of affection. Not an ambitious woman with wealth.” Rava replied no less loudly.

Plaque!

There was a loud slap. Rava's cheeks look red. Rosalind's mother can't hold back her emotions anymore. He slapped hard on Ravindra. Until the traces of his hand made Rava cheeks reddish. Unexpectedly, a ring that Rava had held, came loose and rolled right in front of Rosalind's mother's feet.

The ring that had lotus-like eyes was clearly visible in Rosalind's mother's eyes. Rosalind's mother stared at the ring. Then, slowly take it. Staring for a moment with a difficult look. A second later, his body staggered. His hands shook violently. His eyes were in disbelief.

“I... It….This it? Why is this ring in your hand?” rosalind's mother asked puzzledly demanding an answer from Rava.

Ravindra was silent.

“Say?!!! Where did you get this lotus ring? Say?!!” rosalind's mother shouted loudly.

“Isn't that Rosalind's ring?” ask Rava back.

“This ring is mine that I gave to my biological daughter. So, say?!! Where did you get this ring???!” shouted Rosalind's mother.

Flashbacks

10 Years ago. After Rava received a call from Rosalind. He thought for a moment. There are a lot of bad rumors about him. Everyone argues, Rava's attitude is cold on women because he is a man who likes the same sex. Rava does not want his image to be bad. This will affect the assessment of people against him or the company he leads. Ravindra didn't want that to happen.

Rava fumingly took the bottle of wine on the table and drank it a little. His eyes look cold. Shortly after, he rushes to drive his car to the Damarishwara family villa. That night, was the night in which the life-wheel spin of two people would change. Their separate destiny lines will be united by an unexpected event.

That night, a sinless holy maiden is snatched away by a cold-hearted CEO. It was Ravindra who had plucked the sacred lotus flower. The flawless beautiful lotus flower had been stained. On the night of 10 years ago, Ravindra was the man who had impregnated Irene Maxzella.

End Flashback

The fall of the lotus ring. Unlock the veil of mystery that has long been hidden. Makes Ravindra remember the incident. The incident that made him think that the woman who had spent the night with him was Rosalind. All these events, awaken Ravindra to something. That girl he slept with 10 years ago. It was not Rosalind but another girl. Could it be that the girl who spent the night with him was the woman who asked about the incident 10 years ago?

Rava immediately staggered. His body was shaking violently. What fate is he really living?
