My Beloved Ex - wife
Chapter 72

"A minute, a minute. What did you say? Whose grandson?" Zetta asked after Alex had just spoken honestly about his true identity.

"Sister Zetta, don't be so loud. Someone will hear." Alex hints at Zetta to lower his voice. At this time, the two of them are having dinner at a restaurant and Alex finally confesses his true identity to Zetta after being urged on.

Zetta is completely in disbelief when Alex says he is the grandson of the leader of the underworld. The term is pinned on someone who controls the world of business, mafia and military at once. A figure that is almost like a legend is so great. Having a patronizing business, respected by the mafia as well as military officers.

Alex said that when he was a child, his grandfather deliberately left him in an orphanage because of a muddle that could potentially threaten the lives of the successors of the underworld. That's why Alex grew up in a place like that. When he grew up, the grandfather went back to his grandson and pulled him back to his side. Of course everything the leader of the underworld had belonged to Alex as well. Alex is a young man who has everything.

"So, is that why you can uncover all of Jordan's crimes? All with the help of your grandfather's men?" ask Zetta.

Alex assented.

Zetta was silent for a moment, then let out a long sigh. Alex's confession just now was quite shocking. It's unexpected that Alex is not a random person.

"Sister Zetta." Alex calls Zetta with a voice that sounds a bit worried, making Zetta turn to him.

"Does my sister hate me now?" ask Alex.

"Hating you? On what basis?" Zetta asked back.

Alex breathed heavily.

"Maybe now Big Brother feels deceived because I have hidden my true identity. But believe me, Brother, I never intended to deceive Brother. It's just, it's hard for me to reveal the truth."

"No, Alex. I don't think you're tricking me. I understand your situation. I'm just shocked at all the facts about you. Unthinkable at all" said Zetta.

"The first time my grandfather came and told me my true identity, I was also surprised at first, Brother. I don't even believe in my own identity. It took me a while to accept everything. But now, I can actually help Brother regardless of Jordan's crimes thanks to that identity. All I can do right now is be grateful. I'm so grateful to have been the grandson of the leader of the underworld" Alex said.

Zetta stunned. Despite the shocking confession from Alex, the young man sounded very sincere towards Zetta.

"Sister Zetta." Alex called back Zetta. This time, he held both hands of Zetta.

Of course Zetta saw both of his hands that Alex was holding with widened eyes.

"I love Brother. You must know that already, right? I can't bear to see Big Brother continue to be bullied by those bad guys. Let me keep protecting you, brother. Let me be your guard." Alex mutters.

"What does that mean?" ask Zetta. He can guess the direction of Alex's conversation, but does not want to guess.

"Marry me, Brother Zetta. Live with me. I will make your life safe and comfortable. Brother can keep my promise," Alex said expectantly.

Zetta was flabbergasted without knowing what to answer.

"I promise to make your life happy. Really am. Trust me, brother." Alex was convincing.

No answer from Zetta's mouth. He was completely shocked by Alex's sudden expression of feelings and proposal.

"Sorry, Alex. I really don't know what to answer." Zetta finally made a sound after a long silence.

Alex smiles.

"It's okay, Brother. Brother doesn't have to answer now. But please consider me right." Alex replied, making Zetta a little relieved because it was not too urged.

"Thank you for coming" Keenan said.

"Yes, I also have a need with you, so I agreed to come" Zetta said in a flat tone.

Keenan ordered a drink for himself with Zetta. When he was about to offer a meal, Zetta first said that he had eaten.

"So, what do you want to tell me?" ask Zetta to the point.

Keenan sipped his drink for a moment, then let out a long sigh, as if his chest was being squeezed by a huge new one.

"I want to apologize to you, Zetta. I've misunderstood you so much" Keenan said later.

"That's it, no problem." Zetta said quick and easy.

"I know that Jordan's not a good person, but I really didn't think he was ...." Keenan's speech was interrupted because Zetta interrupted.

"I'm so sorry. Turns out your father was a victim of Jordan just like my father. It must have been hard for you because he was Helia's father. I hope your bond of love doesn't falter because of this." Again Zetta said casually and without burden.

"Zetta." Keenan looked at Zetta with a serious expression. "I already knew that Helia wasn't the girl who exchanged letters with me, but that girl was you."

"Then?" Zetta folded both her hands on her chest.

"The girl I love is you ...."

Zetta looked back at Keenan, then laughed out loud.

"Then if I said right now that the one who wrote all those letters was my nanny's aunt, would you say love to her too, wouldn't you?" ask Zetta sarcas.

Keenan was speechless with an expression that was difficult to explain.

"Who cares about the original author of the letters, Keenan. If your love only depends from there, how shallow your feelings are." Zetta sneering.

"Surely, I was a little disappointed that your love story and the great Helia only got here. You should be able to accept Helia no matter how she is. After all, Helia has been so, not changed at all," said Zetta again.

Keenan fell silent without being able to say anything. If remembered, he had been blatantly adoring Helia in front of Zetta. It would be ridiculous to suddenly say that he doesn't love Helia anymore.

"Here you go, that's your business, not mine. I just came here to give you this." Zetta took an envelope from her bag, and placed it in front of Keenan.

"This is my thanks because you have helped me several times to provide solutions to my business problems. I don't like debt, so take it, "Zetta said.

"What do you mean?" Keenan frowned.

"Ah, sorry. I mean, this is a commission for Duck." Zetta added with a smile.

Keenan flinched towards Zetta. Even his identity as Duck is now revealed, even though he previously planned to approach Zetta again as Duck.

Zetta got up, then sauntered away from Keenan without saying anything more. He had already said what he wanted to say, so now it was time to step down.
