"So Miss Arleena and Mr Justin want to cancel the wedding plans?" Mardeline, the person in charge of the Wedding Organizer who will take care of Arleena's wedding, is shocked to hear of the bride's decision.
A meeting between the Wedding Organizer and the two families of Justin and Arleena was held today. Arleena had made up her mind to cancel the wedding plans. Even though in yesterday's discussion at the family gathering, Justin's family strongly denied this."I didn't expect you to be so stubborn," Justin commented, laughing sarcastically.Arleena doesn't care. He kept a firm look at Mardeline as if indicating his decision would not change. While Mardeline at that time looked a bit awkward."Arleena, why are you still making decisions like that?" Justin's mother's voice was heard, answering. He seemed unable to accept Arleena's decision at that time.After Justin's mother answered, Arleena's gaze shifted. He smiled with a look of firmness on his face."Then what decision should I make, Mrs. Katherin?" Arleena asked back without showing any fear at all.Katherin immediately looked away, laughing unexpectedly. "Didn't we discuss this yesterday? We have agreed that your and Justin's wedding plans will not be cancelled."Arleena immediately smiled. "Yes, we've all discussed plans for an irrevocable wedding," he replied, then turned his gaze to Mardeline. "Your wedding organizer can't return the wedding funds that have been paid, right?"Mardeline nodded her head despite the uncomfortable expression on her face. "Yes, Miss Arleena. We are very sorry for not serving a refund when the wedding plans are only one week away. The preparations are 95 percent.""Ah, the preparations are 95 percent..." Arleena nodded her head, still looking calm. Then he turned his gaze to Justin. "Wow, did you hear that? What an asshole for ruining wedding preparations."Justin didn't react. But he didn't feel guilty at all. Arleena was well aware of the slight smile that briefly appeared on the man's face, making her heart grow furious."You can't call Justin an asshole," Katherin replied. "If you curse him now, why do you love him and choose him as your future husband?"This time it wasn't Arleena who answered, but Albeena—her mother, "Hey, it's not my son's fault that he loves a man like your son. If your child understands how to respect women, he won't do something as low as that."Katherin immediately looked like she didn't accept Albeena's words. "Why do you say that, as if my son is someone very lowly?""It's true, you must admit," Albeena answered, tossing her hair with both hands. "My son has worked hard to spend his money to pay for wedding plans, but his future husband has betrayed him."Immediately the atmosphere in the meeting room of the wedding organizer's office suddenly became tense. Everyone became awkward because of the argument between Albeena and Katherin.Just as Katherin was about to answer, Justin suddenly held her shoulder. Justin shook his head to signal to stop arguing."No need to continue, the atmosphere in the room is uncomfortable," Justin said quietly, but Arleena's ear could still hear him.Finally Katherin obeyed Justin. Even though the meeting room was air-conditioned, Katherin pushed aside the hand fan and fanned her neck. He didn't want to look at Albeena."Arleena," Justin called then. He changed his sitting position towards Arleena at the side. "I wish you had thought more seriously. What are you going to do if they don't allow refunds?"Arleena looked thoughtful for a moment. Little did Justin know, he actually had a plan in mind all night. After the shocking incident of her kissing Hugo, Arleena knew she had to make a tough decision. Even though his plan was very sudden and risky to fail."Actually, what I didn't mean was to cancel the wedding plans completely," Arleena retorted, sending everyone in the room bewildered. "That's why I gathered all of you because this is an important matter. I decided to cancel..."All eyes in the room immediately looked at Arleena curiously. Including Mardeline who was waiting for the continuation of Arleena's words."... the future groom," Arleena continued, ending with a smile full of satisfaction.silence.For a few seconds, Arleena only saw the look of astonishment on her face, especially from her parents. Arleena watched them all one by one, then her gaze stopped on Mardeline."Why are you looking at me like that?" asked Arleena.Mardeline chuckled with her awkward expression. "You're not saying anything serious, are you, Miss Arleena?"Arleena frowned. "It turns out that what I said was less convincing," he answered, deliberately putting on a sullen face. "I will absolutely cancel the grooms and substitute with another man!"The whole room still couldn't believe Arleena's words. Especially Justin who seemed to demand an explanation from Arleena with a confused expression on his face."Arleena ... what are you talking about?" asked Albeena, Arleena's mother, who came closer and whispered. "How did you find a new groom?"On the other hand Arleena was a little worried. But he did not want to show."He will come here.""What?!" Justin immediately reacted excitedly. Then, he laughed at Arleena. "Why do you want to replace grooms? Did you think replacing grooms could be that easy?"Arleena really felt humiliated hearing Justin's mocking laugh. I don't know why his pride is scratched now. Was Justin deliberately undercutting him?"Do you think, you're the only man in the world?" asked Arleena. "I didn't know you were this narcissistic. Of course I can replace the groom. It's not difficult."Justin still looks in disbelief. While Arleena was quietly checking her cell phone in her lap when Justin and the two men's parents looked at each other with a petty smile. They were clearly mocking Arleena on purpose."Arleena, how are you going to find a replacement groom?" Albeena whispered back to Arleena, her face showing embarrassment.Arleena made a reassuring gesture to Albeena and Lucas—her father with one hand. Several times Arleena checked whether there was an incoming message notification or not from someone.A few hours ago, Arleena had sent someone a message on an important and serious mission: Hugo, don't forget our last night's appointment at my apartment. However, until now Hugo had not replied. Just read the message only!What if Hugo doesn't come?What if Justin and his family laugh at him even more?Arleena couldn't stop thinking about the worst until her feet repeatedly hit the floor. Nervous. It's really thrilling. Why-"I'm sorry, I came late."The deep voice that Arleena had been waiting for finally sounded. The entire room immediately turned simultaneously towards the entrance, including Arleena who immediately arched a big smile.Hugo's figure in a neat black suit walked leisurely. His steps moved closer to the table where everyone in this meeting room was. Hugo was not the least bit awkward, even stopping in his tracks and giving his formal smile."I will take the place of Miss Arleena's groom-to-be. She will marry me." That was how Hugo said in full firmness.Everyone was stunned, but Arleena jumped up from her chair and approached Hugo enthusiastically.While standing beside Hugo, Arleena said to everyone in the room, "Everyone—except mama and papa since you guys already know him, introduce, he's Hugo. I told you finding a replacement for you wouldn't be hard, right, Justin?"Arleena and Hugo's wedding is solemnly carried out.One week later, after a name change—which luckily hasn't been posted yet—their wedding was held in the building where Arleena and Justin were to be married. All the guests who came only came from the closest people.It was easy for Bernard, Hugo's father, to spread the word to Hugo's other siblings. But of course, not a few were surprised because Hugo had just returned from London."Jesus, Hugo! I didn't expect you to get married!" Eva, Hugo's cousin, shouted enthusiastically as she greeted the groom: Hugo.Hugo just smiled. It was a bit doubtful to stand as a bride and groom, especially since the preparation was only one week."Right. Why did you suddenly get married?" said Azura, who was also Hugo's cousin. Then his gaze shifted to Arleena. "Moreover, you're married to Arleena. Gosh... you've been friends since childhood, and it turns out you're already married?"Hugo and Arleena looked at each other. Actually it is not a doubtful t
Arleena was still thinking about the kiss Hugo had given her.After the wedding, Arleena stayed in the VVIP room for the bride and groom. Arleena looked at herself in the reflection of the mirror. To her right and left were two special make-up artists hired by Hugo. While the two make-up artists were cleaning the remaining make-up on Arleena's face, all Arleena could think about was how she would live her married life with Hugo.From now on, Arleena would constantly see Hugo as they lived in the same house. They had been close since childhood, but Arleena still couldn't imagine how it would be to live for months in the same house.Remembering when Hugo kissed her earlier, Arleena felt very strange. What if later... they did...Arleena spontaneously shook her head repeatedly. Her sudden movement made one of her eyes accidentally get hit by makeup cleanser. As a result Arleena stopped moving in shock, gaping while holding her eye."Oh my, Miss Arleena. I'm sorry. Do your eyes hurt that
"Arleena Katniss Claire and Hugo Karlen Mushlin, I will give you a suite-type apartment as your residence after marriage."The words of Bernard, Hugo's father, made Arleena and Hugo surprised at the same time. For a split second Arleena and Hugo looked at each other in disbelief, thinking that maybe Bernard was just being nosy to them. But after looking at Bernard's face - intending to find out whether it was a joke or not, it turned out that there was no joking look at all.Realizing Bernard was not joking made Arleena and Hugo even more speechless. There was an awkwardness that could be seen on their faces. Also, both Arleena and Hugo were worried that their words would offend Bernard."How is it? Why are you two silent?" asked Bernard, looking at Arleena and Hugo in turn."A-ah... why... why are we silent?" Arleena couldn't hide her nervousness. Ever since Bernard mentioned the words 'suite-type', Arleena couldn't imagine how luxurious the apartment was. "We were just surprised. Wa
[Erlica Carldon: We'll meet at the Red Mardona Motel tomorrow night][Ann Rennita: I didn't expect to fall in love with your touches][Sabrian Adelle: Looks like we have to be more than just a one night stand partner]Disgusting.Arleena's expression immediately turned into amusement after reading the three messages in the screenshot. For a split second, Arleena stared at the screen of her cell phone in disbelief."What is this?" Arleena then spontaneously burst out laughing. "He has sex with other women? He even had a one night stand too?"Next to Arleena. Gabriel, put the teacup on the table. As someone who managed to get hold of Arleena's fiancé information, Gabriel curved a proud smile.Precisely proud of himself who managed to provide this information."So, this..." Arleena stared at one more piece of information. "You got the date he checked into the hotel? And... you got proof of the reservation?"Gabriel raised his eyebrows in approval. "I told you, I can definitely find out i
What happened next was Justin's mother screaming in surprise, prompting the rest of the family to come over and calm her down.The guests whispered, some of them covered their mouths in disbelief, some others held their breath from shock and couldn't make a sound.Gabriel and Sessy, who were motionless in place, were transfixed watching the hot scene of Justin and the booking woman in the video."Why, honey? Surprised?" Arleena made a sound, then turned to Keenan. "Show me something else, my dear cousin Kenan."Keenan smiled disdainfully. But happily, he changed the screen display.The video changes to the notes view."This is some proof of chats and hotel reservations at eleven past twelve minutes at night. Hotel Tree Tycoon, New York."Justin was speechless.Then the projector screen changed again. Screenshot of one of the chat applications showing a chat room between Justin and one of the booking women."Chat from the man's side, Justin—my fiancé, says we'll meet tomorrow night at
Arleena couldn't believe what Keenan was saying. There was no way Hugo would come home from work without giving her a nice word. Or just an update on social media that shows you're on your way home.Unfortunately, Keenan said the correct sentence.When someone suddenly came to tell them that there was chaos in the courtyard where the event was being held, Arleena rushed to the location with Gabriel and Keenan. The three of them never expected with what sight to find."I LOVE HIM! HE PROMISES TO MARRY ME!"Arleena was taken aback, her mouth gaping involuntarily. On the event page there was a woman screaming in frustration. The guests had already dispersed to escape the woman's tantrum as she approached one table at a time."What is this?" Keenan just came beside Arleena. He was both confused and shocked at the chaos on the event page.Arleena and Gabriel couldn't say anything. Both of them were too stiff to react, because the strange woman there seemed to be possessed.The panicked scr
Hugo has an unpleasant feeling about Arleena.That same day, in the night, after hearing the story that Arleena's fiancé was having an affair, Hugo's mind immediately thought of something.How is Arleena now?So, without informing and telling anyone, here is Hugo now. Standing in front of Arleena's private apartment door. Hugo had been standing for almost twenty minutes, just staring at the apartment door.Why was he suddenly feeling doubtful now?Even though a few moments ago, especially when he was on his way to Arleena's apartment, Hugo was already enthusiastic. Wanted to check directly on Arleena's condition when there was no one accompanying her. They haven't meet each other after yesterday kisses. "Huh... what happened to me?" muttered Hugo, lowering his head while shaking his head slowly.Hugo hisses. The feeling is restless. Thinking between whether Arleena will accept his arrival or he should turn around and leave."I'm home, or ring the apartment bell?" asked Hugo, mutterin
