And at the same time, the woman's body froze on the spot. Her eyes watched the footage of her having sex with Edward in the living room, the stairs.
Byanca stiffened, her veins almost popping out of their sockets. Her face flushed red, anger mixed with shame-filled her.
"T-this..."
"What? It's you. You can't dodge from me anymore. And stop pretending that you love my cousin," Leo said immediately cutting Byanca's sentence.
Byanca didn't hear Leo's words, the woman immediately looked around looking for a CCTV camera that recorded all her actions.
Leo smiled faintly at the woman's behavior.
"Why? Looking for the camera?"
"L-Leo, please don't pass this on to the extended family. Don't let Devan know about this," Byanca whined, the woman suddenly sat down on her knees in front of Leo.
"Help me, I beg you. Don't share this video with anyone," Byanca began to sob.
"I will do anything, please."
Leo ignored her, the man remained in her position. "I heard you're pregnant too?"
Byanca's reflexes froze on the spot "W-who told you?"
"Is it important?"
Byanca gripped the hem of her dress tightly, feeling mixed.
"Whose child is that?" Leo asked directly.
"Th-this is Devan's son."
"DON'T LIE TO ME, BYANCA," Leo snapped and his voice was so high it made her gasp in surprise.
"Cancel your marriage to my cousin," he said again after a few minutes of silence.
Immediately Byanca raised her head, glaring at Leo sharply. "NO," refused Byanca that very second.
"Tsk, do you know what the consequences will be if you refuse?"
"I don't want this marriage to be annulled, please. I can do anything as long as it doesn't tell me to stop my marriage, Leo. I beg you."
"Do you think Devan still wants to marry you after seeing this tape?" Leo grabbed his cell phone which was still in Byanca's hand.
"No, Don't tell him, help me, just this once, I won't do it again, please."
"Alright, if you refuse to cancel your marriage with Devan, then let the Family decide."
"NO, DON'T DO IT, please don't tell anyone," Byanca kept begging, even though she knew that her efforts would be in vain.
"I can't let Devan marry a woman like you," Leo replied then smiled.
"If you annul your wedding, then I'll be the one to throw this evidence away and not pass it on to anyone, you just have to do that, and you don't have to worry about anything else anymore."
"But if you refuse, not only will Devan cancel your wedding, but maybe your family will be ashamed of what you did, by the way, I'm curious, what their expressions will be when they find out that their daughter is doing disgusting at her fiance's house," Leo chuckled.
As for Byanca, the woman was silent in her position. She didn't want everything Leo said to happen, not even one of them she wanted at all.
"A-alright, I-I'll do what you want," said Byanca.
Hearing that, Leo smiled, "Which one do you want?"
"I-I'm going to cancel my marriage with Devan," Byanca stuttered slightly.
"Good, make sure you announce it in front of the family in a loud and clear voice," Leo replied as he put the flat-shaped object in his hand back into his pocket.
"O-okay."
"Um, can I ask you something?" said Byanca again.
One of Leo's eyebrows rose, "Say."
"Where did you get that re-recording from?"
"You don't have to know, the only thing you need to do is cancel this wedding, so as long as you do it well, then don't worry about this tape anymore," Leo replied.
Hearing that, Byanca was silent and didn't respond anymore, the woman looked down again and only looked at the floor in front of her.
"Then tomorrow I will wait for your arrival at Atmadja's residence, don't be late," said Leo and rose from his position, walking past Byanca who was still kneeling on the floor, until the man disappeared behind the main door, he never looked back.
While on the other hand, Byanca was already clenching her fists tightly, walking to the side of the window, and watching Leo leave the yard.
Seeing the man disappear from her sight, Byanca immediately looked for her cellphone, she intended to contact Edward, her lover.
"Hello," Byanca preceded after someone picked up the phone from the other end.
"Hello, honey. Good night," Edward's voice sounded.
"Edward help me, Leo just came and forced me to cancel my marriage with Devan, he threatened me with a tape containing the sex we both had that night at Devan's house. He said he would spread the tape if I refused."
Hearing Byanca's words, Edward was silent for a moment then said, "Then tell me how I can help you, honey."
"You already know that there's no way I can cancel this wedding."
"Yeah, honey. I know that better than anyone. Now tell me what I need to do for you, hmm?" Edward asked.
"I, I want you to destroy the tape, Edward. I don't want Leo to share it. Can you?"
"Is that all?"
"No, there's more, but I'm a little doubtful you can do this one or not," Byanca replied.
"You're having doubts? I know never had doubts like this. Come on, baby, tell me everything and I'll take care of everything for you."
"But you have to promise not to get hurt," Byanca said.
"I promise, honey. Don't worry about me, as long as you're happy I'll do anything."
"Okay, I'll leave it all to you, honey."
That was how Byanca had talk Edward on the phone, their conversation lasted for a few minutes, then ended.
It could be seen that Byanca's hands were still shaking slightly, making it even clearer that the woman was truly terrified.
"You think after threatening me like that, I'll just stay quiet, Leo?" Byanca grumbled with one fist tightly clenched.
"You'll see, everything you hoped for wasn't going to go according to plan," she added as if trying to calm herself down.
***
It's already ten o'clock at night, Devan hasn't come back, and his number is still out of reach, making Leo, who knows how many times he's called his cousin's number, very nervous.
"Where exactly are you now, Devan?" Leo mumbled again taking a breath.
"Why did you disappear and no news until now?" he added, rubbing his face. Throwing his body on the sofa carelessly, staring at the ceiling, looking confused with his thoughts.
"It's not my problem, but why am I the one who seems so burdened?"
