Forced Marriage

Kring…..

The ringing of the alarm clock woke up the woman who was fast asleep beside the burly man, Liza started to open her eyes and recalled the unfortunate incident that happened to her that night. Her tears fell again, she felt a pain pierce her heart.

Not wanting to get caught up in that atmosphere, Liza immediately got up from the bed leaving Joan still asleep. Liza started rushing towards the bathroom located in her room to clean herself up.

Not enough 15 minutes Liza had stepped out of the bathroom and went straight to the walk-in closet which was next to her room.

On the other hand, Joan, who had just woken up from her sleep, immediately looked for the whereabouts of the woman she had slept with that night.

Because there was no sign of Liza’s presence in the room, Joan finally put on a white kimono first to cover her naked body and then walked through the entire room in the room.

that apartment.

Joan’s search was stopped when she saw a beautiful Liza wearing a black dress in her walk-in closet.

Joan began to approach Liza who was still looking at her with a sharp gaze. Joan knew exactly what Liza was feeling right now, any woman would never forgive a man who took her future by force.

Joan had the courage to get closer to the body of the woman who has a height of 168 cm. Joan quickly pulled the woman’s body into his arms, the man began to feel the woman’s body began to tremble accompanied by sobs.

“I’m sorry Liza, I’ve really crossed the line” Joan whispered but Liza ignored it, the woman was still silent without saying a word.

Joan tightened his embrace, because the woman was reluctant to return the warm hug given by him.

Unlike Liza, now she begins to let go of her body and starts to keep her distance from Joan’s body, slowly she begins to wipe the tears that roll down her smooth cheeks. Liza stares at Joan sharply this time she really can’t contain her anger in facing the jerk who has snatched the thing he’s been keeping it all this time.

Plaque…

A slap landed hard on Joan’s left cheek which made the man whimper in pain while holding his left cheek, which felt sore.

Joan’s anger also peaked because of the rude attitude of the woman in front of her, Joan also looked at Liza with a gaze that was no less sharp, for a second Joan’s anger disappeared along with Liza’s tears that again flowed down her cheeks. Joan could clearly see the woman’s lips were trembling with sobs that were louder than before.

” Liza I will promise to marry you , so please stop crying like I will leave you without any sense of responsibility ! ” Joan’s orders made Liza show a cynical smile.

“Do you think marrying me will solve everything?” Liza asked to which Joan nodded.

Liza shook her head not understanding this man in front of her “No matter how rich your family is, I would never marry a jerk like you. Garbage like you doesn’t even deserve to be recycled” said Liza which made Joan even smile a smirk.

“Then what about you Liza, your future has been taken away completely. I don’t know whoever the man you love in the future will be. Do you think that man will be ready to accept the fact about you?” Joan threatened which made Liza glared at her beautiful eyes.

Joan smiled triumphantly because the woman she was fighting was defeated badly , the man was indeed the most reliable in terms of threatening someone .

Seeing the satisfied expression made by Joan, Liza finally spoke up and didn’t want to be considered speechless.

“Once again I will reiterate to you, that I will never marry you so please refuse this marriage in front of our two families, just take it as compensation for what you have done to me after this we will never have any business. I will let you go without asking any responsibility, regarding the man I love, it has nothing to do with you because the man I will marry in the future is the one who can accept me as I am,” said Liza, which made Joan not move.Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

The tall woman gracefully began to enter the mansion belonging to the Rivenno family. The monolid-eyed woman began to bow to pay respects to her parents who had been faithfully waiting for the arrival of their son and daughter.

” I ‘m sorry sir , this time Sarah ‘s schedule is really full , so Sarah can not come on time ” said Sarah as she started to sit down on one of the dining chairs next to her mother .

Ansel Carlos Rivenno could only smile faintly at the words of his eldest daughter .

” It ‘s okay , dear , Mom and Dad understand how busy your schedule is , ” replied Auristella Rivenno as she started stroking her daughter ‘s beautifully flowing hair .

Sarah could only smile faintly at her mother’s sweet behavior, to be honest she really missed her childhood when she was still living with her parents and her younger brother in the luxurious mansion.

In contrast to now Sarah and Joan actually have to live far away from their parents because they have to take care of every family company that stands in their respective fields. to manage the airport business. Unlike her Broter, Joan, who is responsible for being the CEO of the largest and most influential IT company in the world, she has to spend her days sitting in front of the computer and flying overseas to reach business deals.

” Sorry Joan came late ” said Joan breaking the silence that occurred in the room .

Ansel began to smile happily seeing the arrival of his youngest son, he then embraced Joan happily which made Sarah furious. It was clear that his father treated them differently. If earlier, Sarah’s arrival was ignored like a passing wind, but this time Joan’s arrival is considered her father as oxygen that is needed by the human body.

Sarah glared at Joan , which made Joan shudder in horror at the deadly stare of the woman who was two years her senior .

Joan started to get up the courage to sit down next to Sarah who was still loyal to her gaze .

Seeing her Broter ‘s arrogant behavior , Joan began to squint her eyes while showing a small smile .

“Tonight, you’re really beautiful, Bro, if Darren came, he would definitely praise you to the full” Joan Gombal made his parents laugh, while the one who was bullied turned his face away.

Darren, hearing his fiancé’s name made Sarah’s appetite suddenly disappear. It’s not that Sarah doesn’t love the man, it’s the man who makes her feel like she’s never been loved. Sarah has caught Darren many times with other women when she’s on vacation in America and the worst thing is that he was dating a different woman every time Sarah caught him.

Sarah actually wanted to say this to her family and immediately canceled the wedding that would be held after Darren’s return from Canada, but she didn’t want to feel blamed for her choice. In the past, Sarah was the one who dated and introduced Darren to her family, even the Rivennos have helped the family a lot. Darren overcomes the problem of a corporate criBro that makes his family almost go bankrupt.

Because she felt that she had sacrificed too much for her lover, Sarah finally chose to remain silent and pretended that nothing had happened in front of her family and in front of Darren.

Sarah now began to relax her thoughts and feelings and turned to look at Joan who was eating her food voraciously .

” Did Liza accept this matchmaking ? ” Sarah asked which made Joan choked , she gave her Broter a glass of water and waited for Joan to take a sip of her drinking water .

After feeling that his throat had improved, Joan finally spoke up.

“The matter of refusing or accepting an arranged marriage, the decision is in my hands. That woman has no right to make any decisions,” said Joan, which made Sarah confused.

“You can’t do that, dear, the decision will be taken from both sides,” added Auris, which made Joan smile awkwardly.

” Your mother ‘s words are correct , Joan , we can not force Liza ‘s will just because we are richer than her ” Ansel said confirming his wife ‘s words .

Joan finally fell silent, not because of the words of her parents but because Liza’s words that she had a lover came back to haunt her mind.
