My Beloved Ex - wife
Chapter 40

Since the bet had already been agreed, Helia could not refuse anymore. He got up and began to take off the clothes on his body. But before that happened any further, Keenan swiftly held him back.

"I'll transfer the money to your account, triple your bet. I'll also help you acquire the company you're looking for. But, end this game and don't force Helia to take her clothes off" Keenan said. He again covered Helia's upper body.

Theo thought for a moment while staring at Helia and Keenan in turn. Helia's face was very bad back then and was quite pleasant to enjoy. Theo was completely satisfied this time for successfully humiliating Helia.

"Your offer is tempting. All right, I agree." Theo moved and then thrust his hand toward Keenan, waiting for the man to welcome his hand as a sign that the decision had been agreed.

"okay." Though with a heavy heart, Keenan shook Theo's hand.

"Before I get out of this room, I want to tell you one thing. Actually Zetta is really good at playing cards, even I can't beat him. It's just that Zetta is often lazy to show his ability in front of people. He also often succumbs intentionally to a cause."

Keenan slightly scrunched his forehead when he heard Theo's words. Suddenly he remembered the look on Zetta's face while washing the tattoo. The woman was very calm, there was not the slightest sadness or disappointment like a defeated person in general. From there Keenan began to draw the conclusion that Zetta's defeat was deliberate.

'It turns out he's good at playing cards, but deliberately succumbed. Why?' inner Keenan with increasingly uncertain feelings.

Seeing Keenan silent with a changing gaze, Theo simply shook his head and then stepped out. Then, he entered the reserved room. There, Zetta and Regina were waiting. Shortly after, Theo's friends also come and they get together.

"Zetta, are you sure you're not playing?" ask Theo when he and his friends will play the game.

"No, I want to relax" Zetta replied with a big smile. The relax he meant was drinking alone in the corner of the room.

Thinking about the problems that have occurred lately is quite tiring, Zetta wants to calm down for a moment and forget all that.

However, the shadows of ignorance in the past make Zetta almost lost control. Emotions, hate, regret, mix into one and make him want to push away those memories. Until finally, Zetta had unknowingly consumed a lot of liquor. I do not know how many glasses he spent in a short time.

"It's hot." The influence of alcohol has entered his body and made him overheated even there the room air-conditioned.

"Maybe I'd better get out, get some wind first" Zetta murmured.

He got up from his seat and stepped out alone. Theo and Regina are playing with other friends, Zetta doesn't want to bother them.

Upon arrival outside the room, Zetta smiled faintly. His body temperature wasn't as hot as it was and it was quite comfortable. Unfortunately, that comfort did not last long. Suddenly a man approached her and pinched her ass.

Zetta was shocked and immediately turned. Then, he turned his head quickly and was ready to protest, but the man spoke to him first.

"Don't worry, Miss Beautiful, I'll give you a lot of money. Tell me how much you want, I'll give you," said the man right in front of Zetta's face.

"Basic bastard!" Without hesitation Zetta slapped the man with all her might, to the point that her palms were red-marked there.

"Bad! How dare you slap me!"

Zetta no longer cared about the man's screams and anger, she immediately ran away and rushed into the room. But due to drunkenness, Zetta she lost her energy and limp. The man managed to catch her before Zetta made it into the room.

"You won't be able to run anymore! You're mine tonight!" The man grinned, and Zetta shuddered in horror as she looked at him. As much as possible he rebelled, but the manpower was too strong for him to fight.

"Take me off, you son of a bitch!" zetta shouted as the man tried to drag her.

"Shut up and don't be too much of a whim," the man replied without caring about Zetta's refusal.

"Take him off!" shouted a man. His voice was firm and full of emphasis.

"Don't interfere in my business!" sniff the man. He only turned his head for a moment and then went back to dragging Zetta.

But really bad luck. In just a few seconds, the man who was none other than Keenan threw a hard kick on his back, until his body staggered and fell on the floor.

Keenan lost his temper. With a quick movement he grabbed the collar of the man's shirt and gripped it firmly.

"Actually I don't care about your business, but if it concerns him, it will be entirely my business. Understand!" snapped Keenan.

The man flinched. On the other hand not willing to release Zetta, but on the other hand also can not fight Keenan.

"Go now or I'll make you die!"

Keenan shouted while pushing the opponent's body rough, until now docked on the wall and his movements were locked. Not only that, Keenan also pressed his neck so that the man had difficulty breathing. Until finally, the opponent gave up and left on his own.

"Are you okay?" ask Keenan.

He approached Zetta, who was still standing not far from him. In addition to holding her head, the woman also let out the smell of alcohol from her breath. Just one look at Keenan knew right away that Zetta was drunk, and to be honest it made her feel heavy.

"Surge!" Instead of thanking or answering Keenan's friendly questions, Zetta instead smiled cynically as she walked away.

"Wait!" Keenan restrains Zetta's steps by blocking his arm.

"Get your hands off!" snapped at Zetta while brushed aside.

"I've helped you" said Keenan also in a tone that rose an octave. He was offended by Zetta's refusal.

"I don't expect to be helped by you" Zetta denied.

"If there's no me, you'll end up with that guy!"

"Then what's the problem? Just so you know yes, ending up with that guy is much better than meeting a guy like you!" challenge Zetta. He did not hesitate to look Keenan in the eyes sharply.

Keenan growling. What Zetta said was a real insult to him. It felt like Keenan still could not believe that the one standing before him was an obedient ex-wife.

"You're so cheap, Zetta."

Zetta laughed at hearing that. Then, he replied with a sarcastic sentence.

"If I'm cheap, then what about you, Mr Keenan? You left your lover and kept me here instead. What does that mean, your girlfriend is so much cheaper than me, hmm?"

Keenan's face was red. His anger is really provoked now. But Zetta doesn't care. Laughing, he walked away from Keenan.

However, just a few steps Zetta left, Keenan again held him back. The man remembered Theo's words and was very curious about the truth.

"Why did you give up on Helia? I know you can actually win" asked Keenan quickly.

"That's not important" Zetta replied casually.

"I want to know the answer, Zetta!" sahut Keenan stared intently, but Zetta did not tremble in the slightest.

"But I don't want to answer. And you have no right to force me."

"Don't test my patience, Zetta!" Keenan reaffirmed.

"And you stop bothering me! There is no relationship between us anymore. We're divorced if you forget, Mr. Keenan!" answer Zetta in a high tone.
