Forced Marriage

Joan Pov

Happy Reading….

This morning Liza was still lying in the hospital bed, in fact she had been allowed to go home since last night, but I deliberately asked the doctor to hospitalize my wife so she would not know what was happening to her parents.

I’m very afraid to tell Liza now, her condition will really get worse, I’d better hide this until the bodies of my parents-in-law arrive at home.

The bodies of papah Liam and Aunt Zea will be here in 20 hours, I have informed this to my family and even the employees at home also know this sad news.

” bro Joan ” Called Liza who had just opened her eyes .

“Yes honey, do you want something to drink?” I asked while helping her sit up.

” Yes bro ”

“Here”

“Thanks” he said after gulping down the water in the glass I gave him just now.

” What ‘s wrong honey ? ” I asked after seeing the worried expression on his face .

Liza holds her chest with one hand .

” I do not feel good ” he said while staring blankly at the ceiling of the room .

I took a deep breath , hugged that lethargic body , my mind screamed wanting to tell the news about the death of his parents , but my brain forbade him because the woman would immediately go down or get depressed again .

I rubbed his back soothingly “Don’t think about it, everything will be fine babe”

” Nothing happened right bro ? ” Liza asked after letting go of our embrace .

I was silent , confused what to answer , I finally decided to change our conversation .

“I’ll be going out soon, I have urgent business, it’s okay for Ella and Tia to take care of you right?”

“Yes, it’s okay bro.” His answer was short, concise and clear.

“Thanks honey, I’ll be out in a minute, you just rest okay” I said while kissing his forehead.

Liza was silent , ignoring my words , her expression looks annoyed , the corners of her lips pursed .

” Oh , you are really cute , my love ” I pinched Liza ‘s cheek , who looks very cute when she is angry .

“I… it hurts bro” Liza slapped my hand roughly.

” It ‘s so cute , ” I said as I gave him a short kiss on his sweet lips .

” bro Joan ….. ” Liza shouted very annoyed to see my behavior .

“I’ll go first baby”

Cups… cups… cups…

I returned to kiss her gemoy cheeks repeatedly.

I immediately ran a marathon out of the room when Liza swiftly took a pillow that she was about to throw at me.

Outside the room, Dafa is already teasing Ella and Tia.

” Your chin is thinner , I like it ” Gombal Dafa while poking Ella ‘s chin .

” It ‘s already rags , omes ! ” I said while stroking Dafa ‘s head from behind .

The tall man turned his body towards me while grinning indistinctly.

” Uh there boss Joan ” he said awkwardly .

” Hello sir ” Ella and Tia greeted simultaneously .

“Please take care of Liza for a while, I’ll be back this afternoon and please watch your words, don’t let Liza hear this news directly from your mouths!” I said a little threateningly, Ella and Tia are indeed women who like to speak frankly.

“Okay sir, we will take good care of Miss Liza” Ella said representing.

I just nodded at Ella’s words, as soon as they both went straight into the room where my wife was being treated.

Now only me and Dafa are outside the room.

“How about Daf, did Emma send you the will?”

” Yes boss , I will show you in the car later , ” answered Dafa .

“Okay, let’s go now”

I immediately walked ahead of Dafa to the parking lot, this morning the two of us will go to see daddy to sort out my divorce with Yuna.

The two of us immediately got into Dafa’s car, I sat in the passenger seat while Dafa sat in the driver’s seat.

“Daf where?” I asked looking for a file on my work laptop.

“Here boss” Dafa immediately took the laptop from my lap, his fingers quickly moved here and there looking for a file.

” Here , boss , I found it ” he said after returning the laptop to my lap .

Dafa started to focus on driving the car , while I was more busy looking at the contents of the will that Papa Liam had written .

Dear: Joan, my handsome daughter-in-law, can’t help it.

Dad, I’m sorry for not being able to help solve your problems, Dad, I’m also sorry because so far I haven’t been able to be a good mother-in-law for you, son, especially for daddy’s daughter Liza, daddy really loves you son, I’m sorry daddy for not being a good parent all this time for you .

Joan , please take care of daddy ‘s daughter , make her the only woman in your life son ! . Don’t let Liza feel what her mother feels, so papah asks you to divorce Yuna and live with Liza in America, giving up everything you have in Indonesia including your position, clan, and all the wealth that comes from the Rivenno family.

Papa wants you to take care of daddy’s company and business and Aunt Zea in America, don’t let anyone know about Zea’s identity, that way you and Liza can freely control all of Zea’s assets without exception. Joan, it’s better for Liza not to know the truth about her birth mother, keep this matter a secret forever, son, because that will only make Liza worse off and blame the situation.

Please let Liza see a new world, give her happiness that she has never felt in her entire life, so far daddy’s daughter has more tears than laughter. Papah is very sure that you are a person who loves Liza more than anyone, Papah has entrusted his daughter to you, Joan. Take good care of him , and always make him smile .

Papah will bequeath all assets, assets of the Hope family company in your name, move to America with your little family!

I wiped the clear drops that wet my cheeks, I closed my laptop screen then put it in the back seat.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.

“What’s wrong boss?” asked Dafa, looked at me for a second then returned to focusing on the street.

” Uncle Liam ordered the boss to divorce Liza and marry Liza to me , right boss ? ” Dafa jokes that made me hit his head hard .

“Oh my gosh boss, that’s really fierce” Dafa replied, not accepting my treatment.

” Do not do this in broad daylight , Daf ! ” My snaps suddenly made Dafa laugh .

“Hahaha… just one time boss, uncle Liam has blessed me to be his son-in-law in his place” he said, still roaring with laughter.

“You don’t have to wait for me, I won’t let go of Liza until the end of time,” I said seriously.

Dafa glanced up , there was a look of disappointment in his eyes . Seeing her expression like that really sickens me , luckily Liza is already legally my wife , so I don’t need to worry if Dafa targets my wife as a woman to be made fun of by him next .

“Daf, have you prepared well?” I asked to make sure.

” Done boss , everything has been carefully prepared ” He replied still in a cold tone .

“Doctor Ririn did you call too?”

“Yes boss, it was Aileen who contacted Ririn’s doctor”

I breathed a sigh of relief after hearing the answer from Dafa, I deliberately asked him to call Doctor Ririn to come to the funeral tomorrow, just in case something happened to my wife.

“Good, make sure everything goes smoothly tomorrow” I said while giving a thumbs up.

” Yes Boss ”

“Thank you Daf”

Our conversation stopped when I chose to close my eyes to relieve my sleepiness due to staying up all night.

***

” Boss , we have arrived ” Dafa called while rocking my body which was already fast asleep for a few minutes .

Half conscious I immediately got out of the car, entered the halls of the mansion towards the main door. Dafa embraced my body which was still staggering until I entered papah’s work room.

In that room there were mom, dad and also bro Sarah who were gathering to talk about something.

I started shaking my parents’ hands in turn, followed by Dafa who also did the same.

” How is your wife , is she okay ? ” Papa asked after I sat down beside Sarah and Dafa.

“Liza I haven’t told you yet dad” I answered softly.

“How come you haven’t told me, Jo?” asked broter Sarah, raising her voice a little, she looked irritated at what I was saying.

“I’m afraid that things will go down again bro, so I thought it would be better for Liza to know when the body came to the house bro” I explained which was immediately confirmed by mom.

“What you’re doing is right honey, it’s better for Liza not to know about this now, so she won’t be sad too long, right dad?”

Papah nodded, agreed with Mama’s words “Yes, Papa agreed with your opinion mah”

” Oh yes daddy , my intention is here because I want to show you something ” I said looking alternately at mom and dad .

“Show me what honey?” Mom asked curiously.

I immediately took my cellphone out of my trouser pocket, I searched for a video on the cellphone and I immediately showed papa the video that I had copied from the CCTV at home.

The video shows Yuna’s rude behavior, who slaps Liza many times and even strangles her blindly.

Papah’s eyes widened and so did Mama’s. bro Sarah, who was surprised by the contents of the video, immediately grabbed the cellphone from Papa’s hand.

bro Sarah also shook her head in disbelief that Yuna, who she had always known as a kind-hearted woman and never touched anyone, including even killing insects, turned out to be a very cruel woman.

” I will divorce Yuna , leave the Rivenno family and live a new life as Joan Arkan Hope in America with Liza and my children ” I explained , which suddenly made the four people in the room look at me with disbelief .

In their eyes I’m just a man who is far from independent and always depends on his family, but it’s different this time, I’ve become a husband who will later become a father to my children, I want to stand on my own feet, my goal now is to make my three children happy. that person and left my past in this country. I will carry out my responsibility alone, without anyone’s help, not father, mother, or broter Sarah. I only need Liza, only Liza is alone in my life.
