It's up to Bryan what he wants to do. The important thing is not to disturb Alesya's life, for today and forever.

Nicholas put his forehead against Alesya's. The corners of his lips lifted, happy to be the first man to have Alesya completely.

"Thank You." Alesya brought her hand to touch Nicholas' cheek. Wiping the sweat that was still dripping there. Alesya wanted to express her feelings, but couldn't because Nicholas' cell phone in his jacket pocket rang. So loud it broke the silence in the hotel room.

"Pick up first!" asked Alesya. Looking at Nicholas' jacket at the end of the bed. He was afraid it was a very important call, because Nicholas still had responsibilities down there.

I don't know how long they did it. Alesya doesn't know. Even though it was only released once, Alesya felt tired of keeping up with Nicholas' strength. He was also weak, several times hit by the release.

“Just a moment.” Nicholas slowly pulled away and let go of their union. Grabbed the tissue on the nightstand and wiped off the remaining liquid on his little brother who was starting to shrink.

Without hesitation or hesitation, Nicholas opened Alesya's thighs. Cleaning up the mess he left there.

"Nik," Alesya hissed. When Nicholas brushed his blistered lips. It was quite painful, but Nicholas stopped at nothing to make everything clean. After that, he would take Alesya to the bathroom.

"Wait a moment." Nicholas covered Alesya. Kissing the top of his head, before moving to grab a towel to cover his body. Only then did Nicholas sit on the edge of the bed. His hand picked up the call, the other held Alesya's hand.

Alesya couldn't say anything anymore. It feels like she is currently the luckiest woman in this world. Can be side by side with Nicholas, even though that man is not her husband.

And because of Nicholas' simple treatment at the moment, Alesya ignored the pain down there. A crushing feeling in his body, just to be able to sit. Hugging Nicholas who was receiving an incoming call.

Nicholas just shook his head. Embrace Alesya and let her lean on him.

"Yes, why?" Nicholas greeted the secretary on the other end of the call. As soon as the call is connected.

“The wedding party broke up. "The invited guests were asked to disperse because of an argument between the bride and groom," explained the secretary at the end of the call.

Nicholas took a breath. "Well that's that then. Now you guys pack up. "I'll be down in half an hour to discuss final payment."

"Okay."

Call ends. Making Nicholas shake his head. I don't know what happened down there that caused the party to end prematurely.

"Let's take a shower first, before going downstairs to find out what really happened. "How could an event of this magnitude be stopped in the middle of the road." Nicholas thought for a moment. Guess what made Devin stop his own show.

Alesya did not give an answer to Nicholas' question, she just nodded to agree to the man's invitation to take a shower. For a change of clothes, it seems Alesya doesn't need to worry because Nicholas has already ordered a change of clothes on an online shopping application.

For now, Alesya is no longer worried about her inner clothes. Frequent touching and looking makes Nicholas know what size he wears.

"Nik..." Alesya held Nicholas before the man left. Alesya's body immediately sat back down on the bed because she couldn't bear the pain in her groin. Really, Alesya never thought she would be in this much pain after having a relationship with Nicholas.

"I'll just carry it, okay?"

Without Alesya's consent, Nicholas carried her to the bathroom. Sit Alesya on a chair. While waiting for the warm water in the bathtub to fill, Nicholas grabbed the paste and toothbrush.

Alesya accepted. Brushing his teeth like Nicholas wanted. Alesya confidently sat down, brushing her teeth. It was as if he had forgotten that now there was not a single thread covering his innocent body.

From where she was sitting, Alesya looked at Nicholas who was making foam in the bathtub. To relax Alesya, who had just passed her first day as Nicholas's property.

“You soak first, okay? I want to pick up the call again."

Nicholas left the bathroom after making sure Alesya was sitting nicely in the bathtub. The cell phone on the bed rang. He wanted to see who else was bothering him and Alesya.

After the incident, Alesya remained silent for a long time. Likewise with Nicholas. Of course it takes a lot of time for them to return to normal.

Nicholas wanted to ignore the incoming calls that were always bothering him, but he was afraid that the call would come from the courier who was delivering a change of clothes for him and Alesya.

"I apologize for disturbing your afternoon rest, Mr. Nicholas. I am one of the office boys in this hotel. I would like to request your assistance in opening a hotel room door because there is a newlywed couple staying in our hotel, and they want to enter to retrieve some important documents," said a man from the other end of the call.

Within a second or two, Nicholas heard knocking on the door from outside.

"Documents?"

Nicholas raised an eyebrow. He glanced at the table not far from where he stood. For a moment, he contemplated whether to hand them over or not. Nicholas was certain that the office boy mentioned was Devin.

However, before making a decision, Nicholas first checked all the important documents there. He hoped to find an opportunity to seize all the assets that were collateralized by Devin.

"What kind of people are you?" Nicholas muttered under his breath as he examined the contents of the agreement between Bryan and Devin. In his mind, the house had only been collateralized for about five hundred million...

But in reality, it was twice that amount. It could be redeemed by selling the restaurant branch and depleting all his savings, but the interest that Devin had imposed wouldn't be enough for him to pay.

It could be done, but Nicholas would have to shut down all his businesses. There was no way he could do that. Not at the cost of firing many employees, let alone Alesya.

"Sir!" the office boy called out because Nicholas was lost in thought, looking at the contents of the agreement.

"I'll open the door right away." Nicholas ended the call, neatly arranging the important documents again before opening the room door.

Without many words, he handed them over to Devin. Nicholas gave a slight smile as he saw Devin standing at the door. There was a bandage wrapped around his forehead, a clear sign of the injury he had sustained from Nicholas's shoe earlier.

"Go ahead." Nicholas handed over the documents before returning to his room and closing the door.

"I've already divorced Silvi. After this, I'll make sure Alesya comes back to me," Devin warned after taking the documents from Nicholas.

"Suit yourself. Whether it's divorce, marriage, or whatever. One thing is clear, Alesya is mine. We're not just brother and sister-in-law, but husband and wife."

"W-what?" Devin was taken aback.

"Listen carefully," Nicholas replied casually before closing the bedroom door. He hurriedly followed Alesya into the bathroom, unaware that the courier with his order had already arrived.

"What's that?" Devin intercepted, snatching the paper bag from the courier's hand. The courier from the Oren app raised his hand to knock on Nicholas's door.

"Th-that..."

Devin handed over several banknotes to pay for the Cash On Delivery order.

"Take the change. I'm Nicholas," he said, waving his hand to dismiss the courier.

Devin was consumed by curiosity. He wanted to know what Nicholas had purchased, especially after catching him in the act of wanting to enjoy Alesya's body.

Devin's hands trembled as he found a set of both men's and women's underwear in the package, complete with outer garments.

"Is what that guy said true, Al?" Devin's heart shattered. He tossed the paper bag into a nearby trash can by the elevator. He couldn't believe that Alesya had rejected him and ended up playing with her own brother-in-law.

"Why was it delivered? I haven't received our order yet," Nicholas placed his phone on the nightstand, glancing at Alesya who was paying close attention to what he was doing.

She couldn't help but stare, mesmerized by how handsome and fresh Nicholas looked after their shared bath. Yes, just a bath, as Alesya still felt numb in her lower body. Besides, they were both awkward, behaving as if they were meeting for the first time.

She wanted to leave, but now they were both wearing bathrobe towels to cover their respective bodies. Normally...

"Were you sure you hadn't received the order earlier?"

"No. How could I have accepted it while I was in the middle of taking a bath? You're quite something. I left my phone here and followed you to the bathroom. When we finished, suddenly the order was already sent and received by Nicholas, as you know, I was inside the bathroom with you. So, which Nicholas received the order?"

"Maybe there's another Nicholas here?" Alesya suggested.

"No way." Nicholas grimaced. "If there were indeed another Nicholas here, he wouldn't have willingly paid for and received the order because I used cash on delivery. Unless it was an automatic payment, then anyone could receive it, or the courier tricked someone, but..."

"But what?" Alesya looked at Nicholas, curious. He seemed to be pondering, then he grabbed his phone from the nightstand and checked the photo evidence on the app. The photo showed that the order had indeed been delivered.

Nicholas was taken aback when he saw who had received the order.

"Devin!" Nicholas muttered to himself. "What could be Devin's motive for taking my order? Could he want Alesya and me not to leave here? What a fool!"

"Why do you call Devin a fool?"

"He took my order. He also paid for it, and I'm sure by now he's thrown it away somewhere."

"Why would Devin throw away the order? That doesn't make sense, does it? Wait a minute! What business does Devin have coming back here? Wasn't he supposed to have left?"

Nicholas plopped down on the edge of the bed, ordering new clothes for both of them while answering Alesya's questions.
