My ex, my Fiancee's Son

Chapter 41. Keep marrying him

"What are you talking about Marcus? Are you intentionally saying this to cancel our wedding? You created a lie so I could cancel this marriage. That's what you wanted from the start."

"Dad, I do want this marriage to be annulled but I'm not lying. Shelina and I have sex. You can't marry her."

"I remember your words and wishes to cancel our marriage. But I didn't think you'd make a lie like this. You and Shelina fuck? That can't be happening. I know Shelina very well. Although she's an ex-prostitute, but she's not that easy to fuck. Especially making love to you. Thats impossible. Because Shelina hates you so much. And he wouldn't do that with the son of his own fiancee. He can't betray me."

Andrew's last words were like a sharp knife piercing my heart, from my back to my chest. Very sick and painful. How much trust Andrew has given me. And I easily broke that trust behind Andrew. I'm sure he'd hate me so much if he knew what Marcus was saying was the truth.

"Me and Shelina did, Dad. Even we've done it twice behind your back."

Marcus' stubbornness and conviction made Andrew sigh deeply.

"Aren't you lying?"

"No." Marcus said it with conviction. And Andrew looked at me.

"What did Marcus say right? You fucked her behind my back?"

My head is down deep. I don't know what to say. I can't lie to him anymore. I don't want to tell a lie that will only hurt him more deeply. She trusted me so much, how could I possibly continue to lie to her?

"My answer is Shelina. Is it true you made love to Marcus behind my back?!" Andrew's voice was loud enough to demand an answer from me. Maybe it's time. I don't know what will happen after this. Either Andrew's gonna cancel our wedding or he's gonna kick me out. I don't care, for sure I want to be honest with him.

I nodded weakly.

"I'm sorry. We did do that." Andrew quickly raised my face towards her.

"So, did you fuck Marcus behind my back?" Andrew's jaw hardened and looked at me sharply.

"I'm sorry Andrew. Sorry." My tears are flowing. I felt very guilty but the corner of my heart was a little relieved, because I had revealed the truth.

"Did he force you?" Andrew's hand tightened in my jaw, causing pain. I'm sure my jaw is now flushed.

"No. He didn't force me. I'm sorry."

"How can you do that behind my back, Shelina?" Highlight the injured and disappointed eyes I got. I really deserved it.

"Ma—maaf," I watered.

"How could you betray me like this? With my own son Shelina?"

"I'm sorry. I'm sorry Andrew." I was crying for a while. I can only say sorry. Even if a thousand words of apology were to be said, it would not be able to erase my guilt towards her.

"Do you still love her?" I stared into Andrew's black eyes. Should I tell you the truth. I can't hurt her more deeply by saying I love Marcus so much. I can't.

"Okay, this is my last question. Do you still want to marry me?" Again I fell silent and looked closely at Andrew.

"You know exactly why I wanted to marry you so much. I'll assume what you did never happened, if you still want to marry me."

Marcus does love me but is that man willing to marry me? All I need is a husband not love.

"Yes" I whispered softly and drew a smile as my heart thrashed and wept over my decision at this moment. I don't give a shit. That's my decision.

Angels like Andrew. Who will accept all my shortcomings. Who would marry me even though I had betrayed her. Men never seem to leave me no matter what. Whatever.

"No! Shelina, you can't marry her. He's my father." Marcus grabbed my wrist. But I quickly threw it away.

"Our relationship is over, Marcus. And you're already too late. Because the day after tomorrow we'll still be married." I hugged Andrew's body. I couldn't turn around and look at Marcus. I wouldn't be able to see the sadness or the hurt on that man's face. That's very painful.

"No, you can't marry her, dad. My girl. Shelina's just mine." Marcus still insisted on voicing his protests and opposition. But it's all free. Already late. He's been late for a month. Because ever since Andrew proposed to me, I've decided to marry him, no matter what. Even if I had to suppress my love for Marcus, I would still marry Andrew.

"Stop Marcus. Start now accepting that Shelina will be your stepmother. I'm not gonna let you hurt Shelina again. And don't try to make a mess of our marriage."

"At any time I won't let you get married." Disconnect Marcus and walk out of Andrew's study angrily and slam the door very hard.

From morning till noon, I was with Evelyn at the salon. I'm doing treatment from head to toe. To look more radiant, fresh and beautiful on my wedding day tomorrow.

Evelyn had already asked about the disheveled and uninspired face I displayed when I met her earlier. He even demanded an answer to his question, why were my eyes puffy and there were blackened circles around the eyes. And slide all the stories that I've been telling myself. Everything was.

My tears flowed back when I told you about last night. About Marcus again asking me to run away with him. About Andrew still accepting me for who I am. And about my heart that loves Marcus so much.

Sometimes I get a silly thought in my brain. I'd rather leave them both alone than hurt one of them. But, I was re-awakened. What will solve the problem? Will running away guarantee they're both unharmed? They'd be more disappointed if I ran away. They will be looking for me and worrying about me. Wouldn't it be better like this. Accepting and continuing my marriage to Andrew is in line with my initial desire.

"Are you sure of this decision?" Evelyn again asked the same thing. A question he's asked dozens of times since this morning.

"Aren't you going to regret it?"

I smiled bitterly and looked towards him.

"I'd be more sorry if I didn't marry Andrew tomorrow."

"But Shelina, you love Marcus. Are you sure you're going to marry the father of the man you love? Isn't that the same as torturing yourself."

"It's Evelyn. It's too late for my love and Marcus. Tomorrow is my wedding day with Andrew, I can't back down and leave that man alone. Besides, does Marcus want to marry me? And is Andrew willing to just let me go?"

Evelyn was silent and could not answer my question. Because no one will guarantee that I will be happy with Marcus. There's no guarantee Marcus will get married and never leave me. There's nothing to guarantee Andrew's blessing our relationship. So, marrying Andrew was the best option.
