Chapter 5. I found her

(Marcus POV)

In the blink of an eye, my wedding ceremony has arrived, I can't help but say, Roger's work performance is very good, after this time I must increase his salary. That is, I will increase his salary by half of a month … but wait, he missed my meeting time twice this month, minus two months' salary. Hmm, since it's my wedding now, well, minus one month's salary, I've treated him like that, he must have complimented me on being a good boss.

Thinking of my soon-to-be wife, I was a little worried but mostly looking forward. I spent five years looking for her and finally found her.

Recalling that year, it was clear that it was all a dark conspiracy that I did not want, but it ended up making me can not forget.

In addition to being the CEO of Citus, Marcus Johansen, I am also the boss, the king of the underground world, Magnus. I used my Magnus identity to trade in the underground with deals that brought in billions of dollars a year. Illegal, yes. Dangerous, of course. Deadly, for sure.

I'm used to this, dark, dirty, and dead. People trampling on each other for their own sake, cheating, killing each other, it's become the norm in the underground. Here, the strong are the winners.

After inheriting my father's position, I gradually conquered the entire underground world, becoming the strongest.

Power, money, I have it all, I just need to say a word when I need it, don’t have to dream about it. But in my heart, I always feel empty, lonely, and not as happy as I thought. Occasionally, I catch some rioters, and some scammers for fun, but that doesn't make me feel better. But what can I do but continue living like this?

Until that day.

Colby, my subordinate in the underground, takes over my dealings in my absence. That day, he took a deal in exchange for an abandoned industrial park and an actress' first night, which was a price I would never allow my men to accept, but Colby accepted the deal and he hid it from me.

That night, he took me to an Int bar, because it was a familiar place with familiar people, so I had no doubt at all, I even had my own room there, on the top floor.

Everything was going fine until I came out of the bathroom when the room suddenly went black and I smelled a strange scent. As a tycoon, I have been through many dangerous situations, so I immediately recognized it as a strong, aphrodisiac perfume that worked in just a few minutes. I quickly opened the window to let some air in and when I turned around I saw a girl lying on the bed. At that moment, when Salton called me and told me about Colby having received an illegal transaction I made, I quickly realized his intentions.

Dare to violate my law, and want to use my reputation for personal gain, this Colby is tired of living.

I walked closer to the girl, but because of the darkness, I couldn't see her face clearly, only a few movements and small groans. Whether because of the perfume's aphrodisiac effect or because I was attracted to her, I told Salton to handle Colby and then I went to bed.

I remember, that night she cried and begged me but I couldn't stop, the only thing I could do at that time was slow down and comfort her. Fortunately, she did as I said, sometimes even cooing, really lovely.

I know she doesn't volunteer, and I know she has her purpose, but no matter how I tempt her, she doesn't talk about her identity. I wasn't too concerned about it at the time, though. After reaching orgasm, I felt like my heart was filled, and my whole body was surrounded by a warm stream. That’s the moment I realized, that girl is exactly what I am missing, the one I need in this boring life.

The first time I felt so comfortable, the first time I had such a peaceful sleep, but when I woke up, that girl was gone. Feelings of disappointment and regret engulfed me. After dealing with Colby and rearranging the internals of the underground, I went looking for her.

I thought everything was so simple, but it took me almost five years to find her. That person said she was Eulalia Willems, an actress in AS entertainment, that year she wanted to take the chance to become famous, so she used the first night to trade it. Knowing this, I was slightly disappointed but thinking about her being the girl that night, that disappointment disappeared.

Then I saw pictures of her videos on social media, and I didn't have any qualms even when I saw her bikini picture. I thought to myself because it was in the photo, the feeling didn't look like a real person. So, I looked for the opportunity, So I looked for an opportunity, I didn't want just a meeting, I wanted to possess her.

The opportunity came when her father, Arthur Willems came to me with the desire to participate in the northern urban area project. Arthur's company Taro is not small but not big enough to participate in this project, so I proposed to exchange by marriage.

I have met a lot of people like Arthur, and he agreed without hesitation. Looking at the way he works, I no longer find it strange that Eulalia had to exchange her body for the opportunity to become famous, her father was worse than any father I had met in the underground.

And then, that day came.

The moment I saw the girl in the wedding dress standing next to the vicar, I knew I was right. Eulalia in real life is different from the picture, she is the girl that night, the one I was looking for.

I can see the surprise in her eyes, is it because I'm so handsome? She must be very excited to have a husband like me, right? Me too. Although I don't know her personality, I don't know what their future lives will be, but at least at the moment, I don't regret my decision and I feel satisfied with it.

I stopped at the empty spot next to the vicar, facing Eulalia.

She looked at me without blinking, and by the time the vicar started to speak, she lowered her eyelids and lowered her head slightly, avoiding my gaze.

At first, she stared, then when I looked at her, she avoided me, she must have liked me too but she was shy, it's so cute. My married life will be very interesting.

After the vicar recited the oath, Eulalia's pursed lips slightly opened

"I do"

And in my turn, the answer was the same

“I do”

Vicar smiles

"The bride and groom may exchange the rings. "

My memory is very good, when Eulalia approached me, I could smell her scent, the same scent from that year. I took the initiative to take her hand, the small, soft hand as in my memory, only it had a few more calluses.

I couldn't help but curse silently, she's an actress, and her skin should be well taken care of, why does this callus appear? Did someone force her to do some hard work? I have to investigate after today.

After I gave the ring to Eulalia, she also gave it to me, I could feel her little trembling. She's probably also feeling stressed and anxious, after all, this isn't the wedding she wanted. If I had known this in advance, I would have had a bigger wedding, but that's okay, I'll make up for it later.

"Groom, you can kiss the bride."
