Wife of Ceo Substitute
Requesting Cross Assistance

"What should I do, sir?" asked Desi nervously.

"I want you to defend me in my divorce with Kanaya! Whatever you know about what's going on in this house, and no outsider should know, okay?" asked Elvano while looking fixedly at Desi.

Desi was very frightened and he did not answer. The struggle happens in him.

"Desi, can I count on you?" asked Elvano once more, finding out how mischievous Desi was to him.

"Yes sir, I'm sorry. I'll help, sir," Desi replied at last. Desi was forced to say that because he was the backbone of his family and he could not lose his job.

Weeks and weeks of divorce have happened. Elvano and her lawyers sought to derail the divorce proceedings under various pretexts and witnesses who showed that they were a compatible couple wherever they were. Devan did not give up. He tried to find witnesses - other witnesses who could help him. Currently the key witness is Bella, who always accompanies Kanaya, especially when Kanaya is in pain.

It was difficult for Devan to get close to Desi, Panji or Doctor Adam, to stand on his side. As if - would Elvano have made them to close their mouths tightly.

Until Devan also asked Gilang for help to get evidence - evidence based on the chronological events in Kanaya.

Within a week Gilang had managed to bring new evidence and made an appointment with Devan at a hotel. Devan then met Gilang that afternoon, and knocked on the door of the hotel room.

"Please enter Mr. Devan," Gilang said as he opened the door.

Devan enters and is shocked to see Doctor Adam already there.

"Please sit down, Mr Devan?" Gilang. Devan sat down and looked in wonder at Gilang and Doctor Adam.

Somehow, Gilang was able to get Doctor Adam to talk and confess everything he knew about the wounds Kanaya had suffered during her time as Elvano's wife. Devan also made a recording of Doctor Adam along with other evidence brought by Gilang, including CCTV footage at Elvano's house during an act of abuse on Kanaya.

Arriving at his office again, Devan turned the CCTV footage provided by Gilang to him. And Devan saw with his own eyes as Elvano whipped Kanaya in his living room without mercy or as Kanaya was dragged by Elvano into his room on the night of the incident, and the condition of Kanaya who was carried out unconscious to the next day.

Devan tears up when he witnesses it all. Although some recordings do not show the incident of abuse, but seeing the recording of Kanaya's condition after the incident also made Devan's chest tight.

Like when Devan was angry at the loss of Maya and Elvano. Elvano with her murkana breaks down Kanaya's bedroom door. Shortly after, Kanaya comes out of the room in a terrible condition and must be exposed by Bella and several other servants to the room next to her.

Devan suspects that from Bella's previous testimony, the incident was when Elvano strangled Kanaya to death.

"Beni, get to my room now!" Devan's orders call Beni over the phone.

"Yes, Mr. Devan. Is there anything you need?" asked Beni while walking closer.

"Prepare a new file of demands against John Elvano Alvarendra," Devan ordered, giving evidence he had obtained from Gilang to Beni.

"What's the demand, sir?" beni asked while receiving evidence from Devan.

"Grace to Kanaya Zavira," Devan said in a flat tone as he grabbed his suit and put it on.

"Are you sure? Did Kanaya's mother agree?" beni asked in surprise as the demands included a heavy lawsuit.

"Yes you just prepare the files, let me talk to Kanaya's mother" Devan said as he walked outside his office.

Devan decides to go home quickly that day and meets Kanaya.

When he got home, Kanaya, his mother, Ratna, Bella and Siti, they were all relaxing in the back garden, chatting, joking while talking.

"Devan, how come this hour is home?" mother Alika asked as she saw Devan leaning against the back door and watching them.

"What the hell is that? Looks exciting!" Devan asked while kissing the hands of his mother and Ratna. Then sit on one of the park benches there.

"Regular, chat, huddle," said Mother Alika while laughing.

"Drink, Van," Kanaya said as she poured her iced lemon tea and glasses and gave them to Devan.

"Thank you, Ay." Devan replied with a smile and looked at Kanaya. He also sipped lemon tea ice that is very suitable in drinking at that time, when the weather is sultry and his throat is dry and thirsty.

"Ohhhh!" Sizzle Devan feels refreshed, after finishing a glass of lemon tea water,

"Enak Van, it was Kanaya who made it," said Mother Alika while glancing at Devan.

"Enak, Bun. It's worth it, Kanaya made it, yes" Devan said as he glanced at Kanaya, and smiled sweetly

Alika and Ratna smiled at each other. They both hope Kanaya and Devan can be together after the divorce process of Kanaya and Elvano ends.

Alika does not mind the status of Kanaya who was once married, for her he loves Kanaya as much as his own daughter, and moreover he sees Devan loves Kanaya very much.

"Aaaaah.., you could have, Van. It was just iced tea" Kanaya said with a shy smile.

"Ay, we're out yuk." Devan half-whispers.

"Where's Van? You just got home not tired?" ask Kanaya.

Devan shakes.

"I want you to try the best chocolate cake in the city, as I promised at that time" said Devan.

Kanaya gulped her saliva, hearing the word chocolate cake tastiest. Devan who saw it laughed.

" Come on! I know you want to, right?" devan said as he pulled Kanaya up from her seat.

"Where are you going?" tanya Ratna, who saw Kanaya and Devan move on.

"I took Kanaya for a while, Auntie," cried Devan as he walked away with Kanaya.

Ratna and Alika smile to see Devan holding Kanaya's hand and taking her away.

"We should have betrothed the two of them a long time ago," muttered Ratna softly, still looking at the backs of Kanaya and Devan.

"It's Ratna, it's been the way like this, we just pray that the two of them can be together. We parents can't force it" Alika said as she patted Ratna's shoulder. He knew Ratna felt guilty for letting Elvano marry Kanaya at the time and did not know what had happened to her daughter until now.

"Bentar Van, I changed clothes first," said Kanaya who at that time wore a mini skirt limited to brown calves and white short-sleeved shirt.

Devan stops, but pulls Kanaya's hand back after seeing Kanaya's clothes for a moment.

"No need to change clothes, Ay. You are already beautiful like that," praised Devan as he continued to hold Kanaya's hand.
