Marriage for Revenge
Meet Rebecca

Maura carries the keys to the car lying on the nightstand, then he drives forward the car that Dave bought for him. Dave is looking for a private driver for Maura, but Dave has yet to find a match for the suitors. He wants to hire an honest driver who can protect Maura.

It so happened that once the food stock in the refrigerator was running low, Maura chose to go to the supermarket today. He deliberately did not ask for Dave's delivery, because Dave had left to work early in the morning to handle the airport project that would soon be built. Maura also did not tell the waiter who was at her house because for food, Maura wanted to handle everything herself.

About 20 minutes, Maura arrived at the largest supermarket in Paris. Maura immediately picked up the trolley and started going around looking for the items she needed.

"Susu, cheese, bread" Maura spoke to herself as she pushed her trolley.

If Dave had accompanied her shopping, it might have been more fun. But Maura must understand that her husband is a super busy person.

Maura immediately queued in the kassa area when the item he was looking for was complete into his shopping trolley. The queue is not too long, as today is lunchtime. Surely visitors are more concerned with filling their stomachs first, than looking for the goods they want in this supermarket.

Maura saw a woman waiting in line in front of her, from her posture Maura was like recognizing the woman. But is that really him ?

The woman Maura saw immediately stored her groceries at the cashier table, when the cashier had calculated all the total products, the woman gave her debit card. But when the cashier tries to swipe the card, the card cannot be used because the balance is insufficient.

"Sorry, Miss! The card cannot be used" said the cashier kindly.

"really? Before I could," the woman replied, from her voice Maura could already recognize that the woman in front of her was Rebecca.

Becca was confused and seemed embarrassed, because the queue had faltered because of it.

"Beca?" Calling Maura, Becca turned towards Maura. He was surprised to see Maura behind him. His pride was like falling from above a height and was blown to pieces.

"Miss, how? Do you have another card?" Ask the cashier then.

Rebecca looked puzzled, she opened her wallet and was busy sifting through the cards. Maura immediately approached Becca and gave her debit card to the cashier without saying much. He immediately wrote down the pin on the automatic payment machine. After all was done, Maura stored her groceries in the kassa area and immediately paid for them.

"Miss Maura, thank you," said Becca, who was waiting for her with a smile forced from embarrassment.

"It's okay. Let's have some hot chocolate first!" Take Maura gently.

Becca shakes her head, she feels awkward with Maura especially because Maura is the wife of Dave. His ex-girlfriend was.

"Come with me!" Maura pulled Rebecca's hand towards the cafe that was famous for its chocolate. They immediately sat their bodies on chairs and ordered two warm Belgian chocolate drinks when they arrived at the cafe.

"Miss Maura, thank you for helping me. I promise I'll change your money. Forgive me for my attitude towards you!" Rebceca opened a conversation between herself and Maura. He felt awkward while sitting opposite Maura.

Maura smiled faintly, she looked at Becca kindly "no need, Miss. Forget it!"

"Miss do you still work as an actress?" Maura asked carefully, she was afraid of offending the girl who was in front of her.

Becca shook her head weakly, she closed her eyes for a while and exhaled her breath into the air. "I've been kicked out of the entertainment world, even now I'm unemployed" Becca smiled bitterly.

"Since I stopped being an artist, my family and friends have stayed away from me" she continued with a forced smile.

"Where do you get your income?" The soul of Maura's curiosity came out in her, she was really curious about her husband's ex-lover.

"So long as Dave gives me money, as long as I want to be his pretended lover in front of you. I'm sorry, Miss!" Becca looked at Maura unkindly.

Maura is surprised by Becca's confession, Dave is always helping others even though by helping Becca there are conditions that Becca must do. "Do you still love Dave?"

Becca smiled faintly, she then put her hand on the table. "When I became an actress, I didn't need Dave at all. I did love him, but I wanted to stand on my own feet without the name Abellard who sponsored me. I chose my career at the time. But when everything changed, I needed money so much and accepted your husband's offer," Becca held back her choked-up voice.

"I guess he'll just play and hurt you, Miss. I thought his heart still loved me, but things were different. Love will find a new port if we waste it and everything happens to me. After I delivered the birthday cake to Dave, I saw Dave treat you special. And after that event I decided to step back and not contact him again. I try to be independent again. I want to stand on my own feet" Becca continued, telling her the condition of her heart and her fate.

Maura holds Becca's arm, intending to strengthen it. He was so pityed by Rebecca's fate, but Maura was amazed by the independence Becca had. "You don't have to apologize, because it's all over, miss. Hope you find a better companion than Dave!"

"How can I get the better of Dave, miss? While only he's a perfect man, "Becca's inner wistful. He shook his head, he should be able to forget Dave with all his heart.

"I'll talk to Dave to sponsor you again as an actress" Maura wrote.

Becca's eyes fiddled in surprise, not expecting Maura to help her. Given her always annoying nature in front of Maura made Rebecca embarrassed.

"Are you really going to help me?" Becca seemed to ask for clarity from Maura's words.

Maura nodded her head "I'll help you, Miss. I'll talk to my husband."

Becca immediately got up from her seat, she then hugged Maura. "Thank you, Miss. I didn't think you were so good-hearted."

"Either. Just call me Maura! We're friends now."

"Dave, it doesn't seem like you've chosen a wife wrong" Becca said with a beautiful smile.

As Maura stood up from her seat, her head suddenly felt dizzy. He held on to the table, Becca who saw him immediately holding his arm. "Miss, are you okay?"
