Shelly looked worried. She then said quietly,
"So Kanaya already knows about our relationship?"
Adrian shook his head.
"No, but I almost did. It's a good thing I was able to take the opportunity to tell you about that young man who keeps chasing you. She looks surprised. I'm sure she must have something to do with that guy."
Shelly was silent for a moment. This might be a good opportunity since Luke had openly rejected her.
'I will make him regret it. At least even though I couldn't have him, he also couldn't be with the one he loved. It was the result of having dared to refuse and humiliate me. Just watch, I will destroy you!'
"But there is one problem," said Adrian suddenly. "Kanaya wants to hear directly from you. Are you agree?"
Shelly smiled and nodded. This was the moment she had been waiting for to get her revenge for Luke.
"Of course," he said firmly.
***
Shelly's tears fell as she told everything in front of Kanaya and Sabrina. The two female detectives just stared in silence. Actually, Kanaya didn't want to do this. There was a murder case to deal with, but she didn't want Sabrina to be further influenced by Luke's.
"Look at this! He strangled me for rejecting him," Shelly said in a trembling voice while showing the red marks that were still wrapped around her neck.
"Luke is really crazy. He can do anything. Anything to get what he wants. Justifies any means even if he has to hurt others. Luckily at that time Mr. Adrian saw and immediately helped, if not possible ... maybe I will die in his hands," the girl continued in a voice trembling with tears.
She sobbed again. Kanaya felt sorry and hugged the girl. For a moment, she turned to Sabrina, hoping that her partner would believe her.
***
Sabrina left the room shaking her head. She didn't believe a word Shelly said. That girl is just a liar.
"Do you still have doubt? I don't think Shelly is lying. Luke is not a good man, Sabrina. You have to accept that," said Kanaya who followed out.
Not long after, Shelly came out carried by a female officer. The young girl's body was still shaking. Her face was also pale. She looked really scared.
"Luke is so good at tricking and making people believe that he is very good people. You have to be careful. He really is a terrible person. You have to catch him and lock him up forever," she said.
Kanaya just nodded in agreement.
***
Luke didn't expect Sabrina to call and ask him to meet at the office. Unsuspecting, he immediately set off. When he got there, an officer took him to the interrogation room.
'What is this? Could it be that his secret has been exposed?'
He didn't want to believe Sabrina did all this to set him up. The door to the room opened and it was Kanaya who entered.
"So you asked me to come for this?" asked the young man as he glared at Kanaya. Then he leaned back in the chair.
"Better tell me! What's all this?"
***
"We received a complaint from a girl named Shelly. She received harsh treatment from you and was disturbed because you kept chasing her to accept your feelings and when she rejected you, you choked her and almost killed her," said Kanaya with a piercing glare.
Luke still looked calm.
"Then what else did she say?"
"You are really a bastard. It turns out that my guess was right all along, you are not a good man."
"I want to meet Shelly. I want to hear her confession in front of myself."
"She's in fear. My husband has gone to great help to persuade her to report."
"So the man with Shelly is your husband?"
"Right!!! He was the one who helped and persuaded Shelly to report your evil deeds."
Luke just stared at Kanaya silently.
"Just meet me with Shelly!" he said calmly.
***
Sabrina watched everyone from the next room. He couldn't guess everything from the expression on Lukr's face. The girl just wanted to completely trust that man.
"How?" asked Kanaya who entered the room.
"I told you there was something wrong with that man."
"I still believe Luke is innocent," said Sabrina as she continued to stare at her lover.
***
Shelly didn't expect Luke to want to meet her.
'Does not matter. Everyone here trusts me more,' she said with a small smile.
Luke turned his head when he saw Shelly enter. The man looked so calm.
"You! You are the one who harmed me! Why didn't you let me go? Didn't I tell you many times I don't like you?" said Shelly in a trembling voice. Her body was shaking violently and tears were streaming down in her face. Kanaya approached and hugged the girl.
Luke looked at Shelly and laughed loudly.
"You're really great, Miss! Oh yeah, you probably forgot I know where is your house. Do you want to tell her too? Maybe there's something interesting she can see there," said Luca while tilting his head at Kanaya.
The girl's face changed.
"You dare threaten me?"
"Didn't you say I was stalking you all the time? You don't think I know who you're with? How about I tell you everything now? She just happens to be here."
"You can't threaten the whistleblower!" Kanaya scolds loudly.
Luke still look at Shelly.
"Okay, then how about I tell you the whole truth now? You and your boss have reported me. I can't stay silent. I'll report you back. We'll see if it was me or you who was lying."
***
Adrian shook his head.
"We have to stop, Shel. Luke knows about our true relationship," he whispered when they met.
"I don't want to! Don't worry I can beat him! Besides, your wife believes in me," Shelly whispered same quietly.
***
"Are you okay?" Sabrina asked while handing a bottle of cold mineral water to Luke.
The man just stared at Sabrina silently.
"I'm disappointed in you," said Luke at last.
"I really didn't expect you to set me up. I thought you believed me."
"I trust you," Sabrina said, holding the man's hand tightly. "Instead I brought you here so they can believe you're innocent. That Shelly is just a big liar."
Luke smiled as he hugged the girl.
"I'm glad you trusted me. Don't think too much about it, because I'm not really mad. I just wanted to know how you feel about me."
"You really have time to make fun at me. At a time like this you still have time to play around."
Luke gripped the girl's fingers tightly and looked at Sabrina intensely. The door to the room suddenly opened and Shelly stood stunned.
'So it's not Kanaya, but that girl that Luke likes? No problem, I will destroy their relationship. Luke will never belong to anyone."
***
"I'm pregnant," Shelly said while showing Kanaya and Sabrina the pregnancy test papers. "I'm pregnant with the child of a man I hate."
Luke looked calm. He then nodded.
"So you're pregnant? Then why bother coming here and making a complaint? Why don't you come straight to me and make me responsible to you and the baby?"
"I'm scared."
"Okay, I understand. So you want me to marry you?" asked Luke directly. Sabrina gasped and looked at the man, but she still already decided to completely trust Luke.
"She should not!!!" said Adrian suddenly.
"Is there any problem, sir?" Luca asked as he looked at Adrian.
"You are a bad man. You will not be able to raise this child properly."
"But, after all the baby is my son, if I can't take responsibility, then what are you going to do? Marry her?"
Adrian's face turned bright red.
"Don't talk nonsense! I'm married!"
A smile returned to Luca's face.
"So why do you seem so bothered? Could it be...."
Luke stop talking when Adrian punched him in the jaw so hard that the man fell off the chair.
"Adrian, stop it!" Kanaya snapped. She then asked her husband out.
