"I think I was wrong, try again what you said." Jack was still shocked when he heard Reynald's words, he hoped he had just misheard it.
Reynald took a deep breath, he had already guessed that he would get a response like this. He did not intentionally tell his sister and friend, because they would definitely not let him accept the offer.
"I'm serious, me and the CEO's Miss are getting married but .. It's just a contract marriage until she gets pregnant and gives birth to her family's successor's child."
Melvin stood up from his position, he did not expect that there was a shrimp behind the stone of all this. "Sister, why did you accept the offer? I did want to keep this shophouse but why did you sacrifice yourself brother ... contract marriage? it doesn't really make sense."
"Vin, brother has thought long before deciding, after all this is only temporary. The most important thing now is that this place is back to us." Reynald resuscitated his body on the back of the sofa, closing his eyes. He's really tired.
Jack, who had been silent, started thinking about the crazy offer. "Actually it's not a bad thing either, Melvin said the group's EA CEO is young and beautiful, you just need to dip until she's pregnant right? You're lucky to know, hahaha."
Bugs!
Reynald struck Jack in the arm as his best friend said the word dyed. "You are careless, there are minors here." Reynald's words were whispered but Melvin kept hearing.
"Hehe's sorry, but your punch hurts you." Jack stroked his shoulders which felt pulsating.
Melvin sat down in front of his sister. "Ehm if you are sure of your decision, I cannot do anything. But if you go through the marriage by force and suffer, leave it, I'd be willing to move and give up this place."
"Yes Vin, I'm sure you can get through it all to the end." Finally Reynald was able to breathe a sigh of relief because of the support of Melvin.
Jack patted Reynald's shoulder sitting next to him. "I remind from now on, bro, do not let you engage feelings, remember the purpose of your marriage to the girl, love can not be guessed can come at any time, just, don't get to the end you're tormented by yourself."
Reynald turned his head to the side, smiling at Jack. "Look, I can hold my heart and mind.I also know how love feels to clap one hand and finally not good." He returned to his position and closed his eyes.
"When is the marriage of the sister and the woman in the title?" ask Melvin.
"One week, in the mansion of Eduardo's family, all are in a simple title and only the closest people will be present" said Reynald who kept his eyes closed.

Elisha several times rolled his eyes lazy while yawning many times while in the meeting room. Yes, his decision to cancel the construction of the Mall made the members of the board and other shareholders hold an impromptu meeting.
Long Elisha just kept quiet while listening to the complaints that were addressed to him. Until he finally began to settle down and began to speak up. "It looks like you're done, so now it's my turn to talk. I know the construction of the Mall has been a plan for a long time, but what about displacing the settlement is the only way? ... I know, if you and my late father planned to threaten them and bribe the judges to win in this case, when that land was their official land."
Elisha suddenly became inflamed when he heard the words of the middle-aged man who stood as the director of finance. Her chest feels tight when someone brings up her relationship and the Papa. Without warning he stood up from his seat, grabbed the glass bottle of mineral water and immediately he threw it to the middle-aged man.
Bugs.
The bottle of mineral water hit the head of the plontos of the man sitting not far from him. Viola tried to restrain his superior from doing anything further, but he could not prevent it when Elisha began to speak. "Never talk so recklessly. You know what you're about my relationship with my Papa, you fucking crocodile, motherfucker! Don't ever show up in front of me again."
"Miss withhold your emotions, we're in the boardroom." Viola tried to hold Elisha's arm.
"Let go of my hand!" Elisha let go of her hand and walked away from the room with mixed feelings.
...**...
The red Ferrari car driven by Elisa drove at high speed, through the highway that looks crowded this afternoon. His eyes were reddened with annoyance, his heart and mind were not in line. Yes, he again remembered how the relationship between him and the Papa that was never good.

After a while, the car stopped in front of a family funeral. The place where Mama, Papa and the rest of the Eduardo family were buried. He got out of the car and entered the cemetery.
Elisha stopped his steps when he arrived in front of a tomb inscribed with the name Arlita Hudson. He sat down in front of the Mama's grave, in his swab of a dusty Nisan. His eyes began to glaze over, as this was the first time he had visited Mama's grave after a dozen years.
"How are you Ma ... El's home." Elisha could not hold back his tears, he cried while bowing before the grave of the mother.
After a while drowning in grief he again straightened his head while staring at the tombstone of the mother. "Ma, am I really Papa's son? It seems like everyone doubts it ... Mama says I'm Papa's favorite child, it looks like Mama was wrong, I'm just a wasted child, Papa never visited me in Australia and Papa never even contacted me when he was seriously ill."
Elisha wiped his tears back. As he recalls the loneliest times he spent a dozen years in a foreign land. "Ma, in a few days I'm going to marry someone, I don't know him very well and I don't love him, all this I did for Papa's last wish in his will."
Elisha suddenly chuckled, as he recalled his expression of surprise upon hearing the lawyer's remark that day. 'Funny, even when Papa died, Papa still wanted to torture me with marriage. I'll live better and not be left with love like Mama, so don't worry about Elisa Ma."
Elisha's lips, which began to smile, shook again. He came back crying. So much sadness was hidden in front of everyone but today, he poured it all out in front of the mother's belly button.
Dozens of years of life like Rapunzel in the world carried, now he returns and prepares to face the reality of life that he had long left behind. He never expected a prince to free him from the golden cage to shackle him all this time
