The Wedding
Assistant Brown’s face was already bright red. He clenched his fists in anger. This woman in front of him was already very presumptuous.
“Laugh, I’m just kidding. Assistant Brown, don’t take it seriously.” A small laugh was still in Livia’s mouth
As he finished his coffee, Assistant Brown caught his breath slowly. He was almost provoked by the woman’s words in front of him, which annoyed him. Usually, he is not a very easily provoked person. You could say he was an expressionless human. “Miss, in the future, I hope you will be careful with what you say, especially when you are with the young master. It is possible that what you think is just a joke will be interpreted seriously by the young master. And you–yourself will suffer the consequences.
“And remember, I say this not because I care about you. I don’t care whether you live or die once you enter the Alexander Residence. What I care about is that everything around Master Damian must work as it should.”
Livia swallowed her saliva. Her tiny heart had shrunk to hear those long sentences.
The man in front of her didn’t care about her at all. Live or die.
“Okay, Assistant Brown, thanks for the advice. I’ll be more careful with what I say.”
“Then I will go now. Please learn and memorize what I have written on the sheet. About the wedding, there will be a messenger who will pick you up later to prepare the gown and others. So I hope you don’t do anything and just wait at your house.”
“Okay.”
Livia stood up when Assistant Brown was about to leave.
“Thank you for everything.”
They bowed their heads to each other.
Livia sat back in her chair. She stared at the sheet after sheet in her hand, then turned to the limitless card beside her. A crystal clear tear has dropped on her cheek.
She has lost the true meaning of life from this day on.
‘Every woman’s dream is to marry the man she loves and the man who loves her.’
Livia was standing next to her husband–Damian Alexander. They are already legal as a married couple. This is a marriage that could envy all the women in this country. They might be smiling and congratulating Livia, but they cursed in their heart because they were not the girl Damian chose. Today Livia looks beautiful in a white wedding dress. Her face is also full of smiles. She’s really good at acting.
Beside her, Damian in a suit really looks very handsome. The women continued to amaze and praise him.
They received congratulations.
“Keep your head up. You don’t have to tilt your head to them.” Damian spoke in Livia’s ear when he saw his wife repeatedly tilting her head to the guest.
“You just need to lower your head to me.”
“Well, okay.”
And on her wedding day, Livia realized how powerful her husband’s status was. But Livia doesn’t seem happy. No, her right hand was already clenched into fists, shaking and sweating.
The father who has sold his daughter looks very happy. He can save the company, and his honor also increases.
The stepmother smiled very happily. She can finally throw this daughter away, who is not her flesh and blood. Meanwhile, Livia’s half-sister–Lisa, looks full of disappointment. She was angry and upset.
Lisa couldn’t utter a word when she saw the man who became her step sister’s husband. It turned out the man was very handsome. Of course, she would choose to be married if she knew this.
Livia stared at her stepsister Livia, full of hatred.
While the others seemed to be enjoying the party, there was a young man who fell in disappointment. He is David, Livia’s half-brother. Even though they are born by different mothers, he cares for Livia. He felt sad for failing to protect his sister from their father’s greed.
David walked lazily, ignoring the women who tried to approach and greet him. Instead, he chose to step down another empty room Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.
outside the main hall where the party was taking place.
“Sister Livia.” How surprised he was when he found his sister, the bride of the party, was sitting at the far end of the room.
In front of it, there is a garden. The garden lights make it look bright. But, not far from his sister, he saw two men standing briskly.
“Aren’t they guards?” He walked closer. “Sister!”
Livia was shocked, and she was in a hurry to wipe her eyes with the handkerchief she was holding. Find the source of the sound.
Two guards who had been at a considerable distance ran over.
“It’s okay, Sir. He’s my brother.” Livia was surprised when one of the bodyguards was already holding her brother’s hand. “Please let go of your hand!”
“Sorry young lady.” They bowed their heads and then stood in their original position.
“Why are you here?” David sat beside Livia, holding her hand tightly.
“Damian told me to get some fresh air because he saw I was tired.” Livia pointed with the corner of her eye. “They followed me according to Damian’s orders.”
“I’m sorry, Sis.”
“Why?”
“Because I can’t protect you from the greed of my father and mother. If only they had gone bankrupt and started everything from scratch, they wouldn’t have sent you here.”
“David, I am fine. My husband is a good person.”
“Is there a good person who asks for a girl as a debt payment instrument? Neither our parents nor he is both bad humans.”
Livia looked around. She was worried that someone would hear her brother’s words.
“Watch your mouth.”
“Am I going to die if he caught me cursing him?”
.
“David, don’t be like that. Do not talk carelessly. Something like that will threaten your life. I will get through this well, believe me.”
“How can I believe you? I know what kind of a man he is. Rumors about him don’t appear for no reason.”
Livia touched her brother’s head gently. I believe that you love me, David, but for the sake of your life and your safety in the future, you must start to maintain your attitude and words. Especially to my husband, because I don’t know how cruel or how bad he could be.
“Sorry young lady, the young master called you to re-enter the hall.”
“Oh, okay. I already feel refreshed anyway. Let’s go back.” Livia grabbed her brother’s hand.
“Come on in, smile, and enjoy the party.” Livia pulled David back to the hall.
