The wedding was just around the corner, all the preparations including the venue were ready, the vows would be said in two hours, but Nelvan saw with his own eyes that his future wife was preparing something that Nelvan didn't expect.
Unintentionally, Nelvan overheard his future wife talking to a man, and the two people said something that really set Nelvan's heart on fire.
"Remember, if you only want to keep this marriage for a short time, take possession of the property and then take care of the divorce papers, then we'll get married and live happily ever after."
Nelvan's hands clenched into fists, it was the voice of Romy - Bella's boyfriend, the man who had introduced Nelvan to Bella, so that the relationship between Nelvan and Bella had reached the wedding day. Nelvan was even happy because today was his wedding day with Bella. But after hearing Romy's words just now, Nelvan became really emotional.
The emotion grew even more when Nelvan saw and heard Bella's answer.
"Take it easy, after all what is expected from a flawed man like Nelvan, if not for his wealth, I would not be willing to marry such a man if not for the future between us."
Nelvan's ears and head are getting hotter, he has been used by his own friend. Nelvan had thought that Romy was a good person as well as Bella, but who would have thought that both people would turn out to be parasites that had to be eradicated immediately.
Nelvan's hands were clenched so tightly that his veins stood out, "Let's see what I'll do," Nelvan mentally ran away from where he was or his ears would explode from hearing the conversation between the two people.
The invited guests had also filled the seats, and it was only a matter of time before the vows were exchanged. However, Nelvan's face did not show any happiness.
Nelvan looked at his hands and then at his position in the wheelchair, why is it so hard to find someone's sincerity without expecting something? Nelvan smiled wryly, in this day and age it is very difficult to find sincerity without expecting something.
"Sir, I will escort you to the venue." The bodyguard said, pushing the wheelchair Nelvan was sitting in.
Now Nelvan was at the altar with a priest, the invited guests who already knew about Nelvan's condition were amazed by Nelvan's good looks, but not a few of them silently sneered at the condition Nelvan was in, while from the end of the red carpet Bella, holding her father's arm, smiled as she walked towards Nelvan.
Fake smile. Nelvan thought to himself.
If Nelvan had not heard what Bella and Romy had been talking about earlier, he would probably have been fooled by Bella's smile, which was as beautiful as her name. Nelvan looked around at the guests until he saw Romy sitting there with an astonished look at Bella.
Really, Nelvan really wanted to strangle a man like that, using his lover for wealth is the lowest thing Nelvan has ever seen. Unconsciously remembering Bella and Romy's conversation, Nelvan's hands clenched into fists again.
Bella's father gave Nelvan Bella's palm while saying something, but Nelvan didn't care what Bella's father said, because what was certain was that Nelvan would not continue his relationship with Bella on a more serious level.
"Are you ready, then I will begin," the priest said to the bride and groom.
"Nelvano Xander, are you ready to take Arabella as your wife, for better or for worse, for joy or for sorrow, and..."
"Stop." said Nelvan, Bella was surprised by Nelvan's words that suddenly stopped the vows, the guests also looked confused, Nelvan let go of Bella's hand that he was holding and then turned his wheelchair towards the guests.
"I, Nelvano Xander, hereby annul the marriage with Bella," Nelvan shouted, which surely made the guests even more confused and surprised.
"Nelvan, are you crazy? Why are you canceling our wedding all of a sudden?" asked Bella.
Nelvan turned to Bella with a sardonic smile, "I think you know the reason why I'm saying this all of a sudden. Nelvan's hand shot up and ordered the guard to take him out of the hall.
For now, Nelvan did not want to do much to embarrass Bella, although he could. The wheelchair was pushed back to the mansion by the guards.
"Nelvan! Are you crazy!" shouted Romy as she came over.
"Crazy? I am crazy and what do you want me to do?" Nelvan turned his wheelchair to face Romy, "You want me to marry Bella? But I don't like her already, so I'll give you a surprise and one more thing, I don't want to see you in my house anymore," Nelvan said with a cold face.
"Guards! Throw Romy out of the mansion and don't let this man set foot in the mansion area for any reason!" said Nelvan and soon several guards came to pull Romy away.
Romy pushed away his hand that was ready to be forcibly dragged, "Wait a minute!" he said, Nelvan smiled.
"Why exactly are you suddenly like this?" asked Romy.
Nelvan shrugged, "I just wanted to, you think I can't do that to Bella? Relax, I'm a person who is known to have no heart, so to prove it, I finally proved it in front of you," he replied.
Romy made a fist as he walked towards Nelvan, but the guards immediately restrained Romy, once again the man brushed off his hand that was about to be forcibly pulled by the guards, "I can walk alone!" he said, then walked out of Nelvan's house without saying anything else.
Nelvan smiled wryly at Romy's departure, "For now it will only be out of my house, but next time you will also be out of many unexpected places," Nelvan muttered threateningly.
Today's events made it more and more difficult for Nelvan to trust anyone, Nelvan was more and more convinced that sincerity never existed in this world, even if there was a very small possibility of finding such a thing.
After making sure that the mansion was free of poisonous people, Nelvan finally stood up from his wheelchair, whereupon the person behind him was immediately surprised.
"You will die if your mouth dares to say anything about what happened in this mansion." Nelvan threatened without turning around, the person behind him nodding quickly.
Nelvan rolled up his shirt sleeves to his elbows then dialed a number, "Get me some maids, make sure they are new and inexperienced, as soon as you get them bring them to the mansion because I want to choose the ones I need myself," after that Nelvan put the cell phone in his pocket and turned his head for a moment to the guard who was in charge of pushing his wheelchair.
"Shut your mouth or you'll never be able to shut it." Nelvan said, sounding threatening to someone who was still surprised to see Nelvan casually walking with both legs.
The next day Bella came to the mansion, at which time Nelvan was sitting on the sofa in the reading room, holding a thick book, glasses perched on his sharp nose, Nelvan's hazel eyes glanced at the door as Bella walked over. "Nelvan, you-" Bella's hand was caught by Nelvan with one hand before she could hit his face, slowly Nelvan's head turned up slightly to look at Bella. "What are you doing here?" Nelvan said calmly, and Bella pulled her hand away. "Why did you cancel our wedding, do you know how embarrassed I was in front of all the invited guests? Why didn't you tell me from the beginning that you didn't want to marry me, that you didn't love me anymore?" Nelvan chuckled softly, he simply did not care how much embarrassment Bella felt, because the one who started this problem was Bella herself. The book Nelvan was holding was closed and placed on the table, the glasses he was wearing were also placed on the table. "Love? Since when did I say love in front of you? Aren't you
A house so large that the courtyard was as vast as a palace garden. Lynda's lips parted in amazement at the sight of the mansion. "They're so rich, but why is the salary only two thousand dollars?" Mia muttered, Lynda turned to look at her best friend, but Lynda did not say anything because she did not know the reason either. There were about eight people who had passed the first stage of the selection, and now it was time to go face to face with the owner of the house who would choose one of the eight maid candidates. "Do you think the young master's face is like a handsome Disney prince? He's very rich, but I wonder if his face is as beautiful as a prince's?" Mia muttered again beside Lynda. "We'll see the young master later, so be patient, we just need to wait a few more minutes," Lynda whispered. Mia nodded, then someone named Hans led them into the mansion. "You can wait here for a moment, I will call the young master to come," Hans said before leaving the maid candidates.
"Where are you going so early in the morning?" asked Allexin, Lynda's fifteen year old brother. Lynda turned around as she finished putting on her shoes, "I'm going to work for your tuition, so study well so that one day you'll have to pay me for what I've done today," she replied. "You don't have to work hard for me, I'll try to find work myself." Allexin held Lynda's hand, "The work out there is very dangerous for girls like you, I don't want anything to happen to you," Allexin continued worriedly. Lynda let go of the teenager's hand as she smiled, then Lynda looked at Allexin, "You don't have to worry, right now I'm going to pay for your schooling and all you have to do is concentrate on your studies, you have to be more successful than your sister, do you understand? Then I'll go to work," Lynda patted Allexin's face and left their small house. "Watch out for the men out there!" Allexin shouted. Lynda smiled at Allexin's call, a car stopped in front of Lynda as she left the h
It was already twenty minutes past eleven, and while Lynda hadn't even finished half of the mansion by herself, she was already feeling quite tired with only a few parts of the house to clean and many more to go. "Lynda!" called Nelvan."Yes Mr. Xander, just a minute!" Lynda put the cloth she had been cleaning on the table and then ran over to where the voice was calling her. After arriving in front of Nelvan, Lynda paused for a few seconds, "Do you need anything?" she asked. "Prepare lunch," Nelvan said. "What do you want me to cook today?" Lynda asked."Anything, as long as I don't starve." Nelvan replied coldly. Lynda nodded quickly and returned to the kitchen to prepare the food, fortunately she had learned to cook quite well since her parents had died. Lynda learned to cook several years ago to give Allexin a life so the teenager would not starve. And now, for the first time, Lynda was cooking for someone other than her younger brother, Lynda wasn't sure if Nelvan would like
Lynda pushed Nelvan's wheelchair to the hospital parking lot, by this time Lynda was very hungry because she had not eaten lunch, especially since she had cleaned Nelvan's big house this morning, so her energy was very depleted. Hans opened the door to help Nelvan in, then Lynda took the wheelchair and put it in the trunk before getting into the car right next to Hans. Occasionally Hans saw Lynda twisting the fingers of her own hands, Lynda's face staring straight down the road without turning around or looking at Nelvan who was sitting in the back, Hans was sure that Lynda must have been scolded by Nelvan. He did not know if Lynda would survive to face Nelvan or not, it was only the first day and Lynda's condition seemed to want to jump into a deep river. Hans looked at the front mirror, Nelvan's reflection seemed to be looking at him too, Hans shook his head slowly, a deep sigh escaped his lips before the car Hans was driving entered the vast area of Nelvan's house. Lynda rushed
The morning before school, Allexin drove Lynda to see Lynda's new boss. On the way, a black car stopped in front of Lynda and Allexin, so Hans returned to pick Lynda up. "Is he your boss?" asked Allexin. Lynda shook her head, "No, he's the assistant boss." Lynda replied. "Miss Lynda, please come in," said Hans, who had helped Lynda put Lynda's not too big suitcase into the trunk. "I'll be fine, don't worry about me and concentrate on your schoolwork." Lynda patted Allexin on the shoulder, then got into the car with Hans, leaving Allexin to watch the black car drive away. A sigh escaped the teenager's lips, "Luckily your boss is a good person this time, so I'm not so worried about you while you're away from home." Allexin mumbled, then left for school, even though he had failed to deliver Lynda to the boss's house. "Who was that man?" asked Hans. Lynda shook her head and refused to answer, Hans nodded his understanding and did not ask about Allexin. Lynda doesn't want many peopl
It was late, Lynda prepared dinner for Nelvan and then told him the food was ready so that Nelvan could come and eat the dinner Lynda had prepared. Lynda felt so tired that it seemed if she lay down she would go straight to dreamland. Lynda watched as Nelvan ate his dinner and then the man left without saying a word of thanks. Lynda sighed, she cleaned up the leftovers, it had been a very long day, there was no time to rest except at mealtime, and now it was late, but she still hadn't finished cleaning Nelvan's house to make it cleaner. It was ten o'clock at night, Lynda could no longer hold back her tiredness, the door to the room was closed and Lynda immediately flopped down on the bed. "It's so cozy," she said as she rubbed the soft sheets and soft mattress, Lynda's eyes closed to restore the energy that had been drained from her today. "Lynda!" A snort escaped Lynda's lips, the girl came out of the room again to meet Nelvan who called her name, wouldn't the man let her rest?
Lynda did not stop breathing because of the work Nelvan gave her, a job that could be done easily was made difficult by the man. Draining the pool? Seriously, it wasn't a two-foot aquarium pool. If it was an aquarium, maybe Lynda could do it, but what Nelvan was asking her to do was a swimming pool over four meters long. "Is she still sane? It looks like if I manage to empty this pool, I'm going to have man-sized biceps." Lynda looked down at her muscular arms as she lowered her shoulders, "You're going to get strong work, so you should be prepared to get strong muscles." Lynda told her own arms. Lynda didn't know where the pool was, hopefully it was only knee deep, she wouldn't be able to remove that much water with her hands. "You can't give up, do your best and make the man happy," Lynda said, encouraging herself. One by one, Lynda filled the bucket with water and then dumped it. She did this not once or twice, but many times, until her body felt tired, Lynda stopped to take a
Several months later.The seasons had changed, and the white dress with a long train caught the attention of the guests. The veil on Lynda's head completed the beauty and uniqueness of the wedding day she would share with Nelvan today.Lynda's smile never faded as she held a bouquet of flowers with one hand and held Allexin's hand, walking down the aisle towards an altar where Nelvan stood with a pastor.Nelvan wore a black tuxedo, a white shirt, and a bow tie matching the tuxedo. He looked like couldn't wait to reach Lynda. For Nelvan, Lynda looked incredibly beautiful at that moment. With the white wedding dress adorned with diamonds, Lynda's appearance was truly enhanced. Nelvan was touched to see the woman walking towards him, who would soon be his wife.The gaze between the bride and groom didn't waver until Lynda stood in front of Nelvan with Allexin. The teenager placed Lynda's hand in Nelvan's and said, "Now, I entrust Lynda's happiness to you. Never hurt her if you still want
Allexin was also dressed neatly and stylishly, typical of today's teenagers. He had even booked a taxi to their destination.Lynda, feeling confused, just followed wherever Allexin took her. Wherever it was, Lynda was sure it wasn't a dangerous place. Allexin wouldn't put her in danger as long as the teenager could still breathe.The journey was quite long. One hour after getting ready and over thirty minutes on the road."Where are we actually going?" Lynda asked, unable to hold back any longer. But Allexin just replied,"If I tell you now, it won't be a secret anymore." And Lynda just sighed.Suddenly, Allexin gently pulled Lynda. Without asking permission, the teenager put a blindfold on Lynda so she couldn't see anything."Allexin, why can't I see?""Shhh..., just a moment." The taxi stopped, and Allexin led Lynda out of the car and helped her walk to avoid tripping. Warmth was the first thing Lynda felt. It was likely they had entered a room, but Lynda couldn't see anything but da
It was early in the morning when Lynda woke up Allexin for breakfast, but the teenager was nowhere to be found. If it weren't winter, Lynda would know where Allexin went, but now she had no idea where he could have gone so early in the morning.Lynda reached for her phone to contact him, but Allexin's phone rang in the room, indicating it was being charged. Lynda sat and waited for Allexin to return so they could enjoy their meal together.The door opened, and Lynda immediately stood up, thinking it was Allexin, but to her surprise, it was Mia who entered. Lynda quickly ran into her friend's arms."Mia! I missed you so much!" Lynda exclaimed.Mia laughed as she returned Lynda's hug, "I missed you too," Mia replied.Lynda smiled broadly. She initially thought Mia had come alone, but seeing another figure behind Mia piqued Lynda's curiosity. The person was carrying many items, obscuring their face."Who did you bring?" Lynda asked."Let him in first." Mia opened the door to allow the per
Allexin patted Lynda's shoulder, trying to calm her down, but instead of succeeding in soothing Lynda, her brother's gesture only made her cry even more. Lynda didn't care that she looked very embarrassing crying like a child who wanted candy in front of her younger brother.The teenager took several deep breaths. "Is the impact on his head so severe that he doesn't recognize you?" Allexin asked.Lynda turned but then burst into tears again. Allexin massaged his temples. "Stop crying; I know the head injury was quite severe, but I didn't expect it to make him forget you. Perhaps it's just temporary amnesia; you calm down, he will surely remember you again," Allexin said, rubbing Lynda's arm.Lynda's feelings were still very painful. She had been caring for Nelvan day and night to ensure that he regained consciousness. However, when Nelvan opened his eyes and spoke, he didn't recognize Lynda. What was even more painful than that was being considered a stranger when Nelvan had suffered
Unconsciously, seven days had passed, and during that time, Nelvan still refused to open his eyes. The bruises on Nelvan's body had significantly reduced, indicating that Nelvan's condition might soon improve.As Lynda cleaned Nelvan's body with a damp towel, Allexin arrived with a wide smile."Lynda," the teenager called out. Lynda turned, and Allexin proudly displayed his tournament championship certificate. "I won the martial arts tournament yesterday. Don't worry; this is legal, and here's the proof of my achievement," Allexin continued before Lynda could get angry."Really?" Lynda placed the damp towel in the basin, and she took the certificate held by Allexin. Lynda's expression changed as she read Allexin's name written as the winner on it."I'm sorry I couldn't cheer you on during your match yesterday," Lynda said apologetically.Allexin shook his head, "It's not a big deal. In fact, because you didn't come, I was able to win," Allexin joked, chuckling and successfully dodging
A man known to Lynda as Nelvan's cousin arrived. The accident from yesterday had left Nelvan unconscious, and some parts of his body were starting to bruise.His shoulder and head were the same, seeing Nelvan in such a state would undoubtedly evoke pity from anyone who saw him."How is he?" Julius asked."There's still no sign of Nelvan waking up soon," Lynda replied. She then asked, "Have Nelvan's parents been informed about this?"Julius shook his head. "I don't know, but Nelvan is used to this. I mean, if he's sick, neither of his parents really care." Julius placed a flower and its vase on the table.Lynda looked at Nelvan. He had a complete family, but none of them had come to visit when he was sick. The only one who came to visit him was Julius.Shortly after Julius arrived, the door to the hospital room opened again. Hans entered, breathing heavily, looking like he had just finished a marathon."How is Nelvan?" Hans asked immediately. During the incident yesterday, Hans was in
Nelvan's hands clenched tightly as if he could crush anything in his grasp, his face clearly showing restraint to avoid hitting anyone there.Through his eyes, Nelvan saw Lynda in the most dangerous position, feeling incredibly guilty as it was his fault that Lynda was in this situation."What do you want?" Nelvan spoke with a restrained voice, not wanting to engage in small talk when it concerned Lynda's safety.Gilbert took the documents held by the man who had been with him all along. "Sign this; you will get your woman safely after signing this transfer document."Nelvan took the document."Don't scribble over it!" Lynda exclaimed. Nelvan turned; he genuinely wanted to run and take Lynda's place, but he couldn't act directly like that.Nelvan turned back to face Gilbert, who smirked cynically. "Why? Would you prefer the girl to die? What if I activate the bomb attached to her body?""Do you want me to sign this?" Nelvan asked."Of course, what do you think I've wanted all this tim
Nelvan headed to Allexin's location, not to pick up the teenager but to intercept the car carrying Lynda.Nelvan's actions were not on point, and his henchmen also joined in the search for Lynda. After about thirty minutes of searching, Nelvan still hadn't found any signs of Lynda's whereabouts.Nelvan's anxiety clouded his judgment, and all he wanted was to find Lynda safe and sound as soon as possible.Another call from Allexin came in, and Nelvan promptly answered."Have you found Lynda?" Nelvan asked."Not yet, I and the other people are also searching for Lynda, but no luck so far," Allexin replied.Nelvan turned off his phone and focused on finding Lynda. He also waited for one of his men to call and confirm that Lynda was safe. But over an hour had passed, and there was still no sign of Lynda. Both Nelvan and Allexin were equally worried.Elsewhere, Lynda unconscious and bound to a concrete pillar in a standing position, a basin of cold water was poured over Lynda, jolting her
Winter was on the verge of arriving, Nelvan sat in the reading room holding a book, but it wasn't the text in the book he was looking at, but a photo of a beautiful girl smiling sweetly.One thing Nelvan felt at the moment was guilt. Guilt for letting Julia replace him in the accident, and due to Nelvan's carelessness, Julia had found peace in her final resting place.Unexpectedly, after years, someone had imitated Julia's face to deceive Nelvan. No wonder since the incident at the hospital, Bella's presence had been hard to find, and it turned out that the cunning woman had altered her face to resemble the woman Nelvan had once protected.Nelvan's guilt was not only for Julia but also for Lynda. While lost in thought, suddenly Bella, with Julia's face, arrived. Honestly, Nelvan wanted to throw the woman in jail or into the depths of the sea if necessary. Besides her face being made as similar as possible to Julia's, Bella was also very skilled at pretending. If Nelvan made one wrong
