"Sir," called Secretary Diana to her boss who is resting.

"Hm," Awan responded.

"Don't sleep! Let's hurry up and take a shower!"

"Later."

"Don't be crazy, sir. We must immediately return to Young Master Saga's wedding reception hall." Secretary Diana said, reminding him.

"Take it easy! Sagara's wedding ceremony will be postponed for a few hours because his bride has been kidnapped by my men."

"Huh!" Diana got shocked after hearing what Awan said.

"Why are you so shocked?"

"If the bride is kidnapped by you, sir. Then what about Young Master Saga's marriage? Didn't you deliberately match Young Master Saga with Viola so that he wont have a strong supporter in Samudra Group?"

"Sagara's marriage will continue. But the bride will be replaced by Viona's sister, Viona. Actually, from the beginning I had wanted Viona to become Saga's wife. But I had to play kind so that my brother wont reject this marriage. That's why I chose Viola first, and when the time comes, then I bring out Saga's real bride-to-be"

"Wow, what a brilliant idea, sir."  praised Secretary Diana. "After Young Master Saga marries that ugly and stupid Viona. You can be sure that that guy's future will be very gloomy, because there is no strong support from his wife's family. Apart from that Viona is also useless. Hahaha," she felt happy after knowing Awan's well-laid plan.

Awan smiled proudly when he got praised by the woman next to him.

'You're dead, Saga,' Secretary Diana thought, feeling satisfied with the misfortune that befell Sagara.

Secretary Diana actually really loved Sagara, but her love is rejected just like that by the handsome young man just because her family's background doesn't come from a reputable family.

After Sagara's cruel refusal, Secretary Diana didn't want to sink too deep. Finally the woman swerved and applied to become Awan's secretary.

He knew very well that Sagara and Awan didn't get along with each other and that the two of them always competed on anything.  Especially in the business world.

The woman's intention to become Awan's Secretary was to conquer the man's heart so that he could be used for Secretary Diana's revenge mission, targeting Sagara who had dared to reject Diana, the prima donna at her college.

Diana isn't only a beauty, but she also has a brilliant brain that can arrange an amazing plan to overthrow Sagara.

One real proof is the car accident that happened to Sagara two months ago. It was all an idea from her that was whispered to Awan so that the man would start to dare to hurt his own brother physically.

Awan that had fallen to his knees under Secretary Diana was always consumed by the seduction of the devil woman and always agreed with all the advice that was given by her.

Usually, Awan had never gone so far when he was competing with Sagara. He always competes in a healthy manner and never thinks of harming his own younger brother. But after the Fire Nation attacked, er, nevermind, nevermind, After Secretary Diana attacked his bed, Awan became a more sadistic and violent person than the previous Awan Bhumi Saputra.

In Building B, the bride's family welcomes the arrival of the groom's entourage, who lined up neatly at the entrance to this building.

Mr. Sofyan and Mrs. Nadira, as the parents of the bride gave their best smiles when welcoming their future son-in-law who is currently sitting in a wheelchair.

Another on the face, another on the heart.  It is a fitting description for Mr Sofyan and Mrs Nadira today.

If on the surface they can smile kindly and warmly welcome Sagara's arrival, but deep down, they are cursing him with resentment.

Mr. Sofyan and Mrs. Nadira are not willing to marry their beloved daughter who is full of talents to a man with disabilities like Sagara, who is now paralyzed and can no longer walk.

If Mr. Sofyan's company were not on the verge of collapse, they would of course reject the proposal that Awan had sent to propose Viola to be Sagara's future wife

Although Mr. Sofyan's family is not as strong as other entrepreneurs, they are sure that after Viola graduated from college and took over the leadership position in the Adem Anyes Group, the company will develop very rapidly considering the extraordinary talent and beauty possessed by Viola.

Unlike Viona, Viola's sister is ugly and also stupid. She can't do anything right.

Mr. Sofyan and Mrs. Nadira were eager to offer Viona alone - when Awan came to propose Viola to Sagara. Viona suited Sagara a lot better, since they were both useless, they thought.

However, they canceled the proposal of marrying Viona considering that Adem Anyes Group was on the verge of bankruptcy and letting go of Viona was the only option.

"Please forgive us, Viola We are forced to marry you to Sagara for the sake of our company", Both parents felt really guilty towards their beloved daughter.

 ***

Sagara and the other invited guests have sat at their respective desks waiting for the next event to start.

From afar there is a girl who is still a teenager, still in her teens and is still in the final stage of high school.

That girl is Viola's sister Viona.

According to the rumors, Viona is both ugly and stupid. It can be seen from her appearance, using so much make up that she looks like an *ondel-ondel

The girl is enjoying a meal at her sister's wedding.

"Tck," scoffed Sagara when he saw Viona's behavior.

"What's the matter, sir?" asked Secretary Ken who heard a scoff from Sagara.

"That girl is," said Sagara pointing towards Viona.

Secretary Ken started to look in the direction that was pointed by Sagara. "What's wrong with that girl, sir?"

"She's ugly, not to mention that her way of eating is disgusting. Plus her make-up is absolutely terrible. I feel nauseous watching her eat"

Secretary Ken's forehead frowned after hearing what his young master said.

"I think Miss Viona is beautiful, sir. How disgusting is she, hm? I can see that she is also eating well and is very adorable." Secretary Ken said.

"What!" Sagara was surprised by his secretary's opinion. "Looks like you have to get your eyes checked by an ophthalmologist after this wedding ceremony. An ugly girl like that and you can call her beautiful? humph."

"Yes, young master. Later in the evening I will have my eyes examined by an ophthalmologist according to your orders." Secretary Ken said obediently "But... I think Miss Viona really is beautiful." muttered the handsome man who is currently still looking at Viona who was gobbling up all the food in front of him.  "Miss Vio looks very cute with that kind of make-up, haha," chuckled Secretary Ken with a sweet smile.

Sagara saw his Secretary smiling with a look of adoration towards Viona. "Is my secretary crazy?" muttered the man, asking himself.
