My Sister's Candidate Becomes My Husband

CAMS - Up 18

Instantly, the promises that I planted in my heart soon disappeared were replaced by greed. How could Deon fall in love with me when I was the one who ruined his relationship with my sister.

God, how disgusting I am, but stupid...

I'm still throwing up hope that with this marriage Deon can love me.

"About this marriage, what should we say to Almira later? That's because we can't bear to tell this cruel reality to him." Aunty Mei's voice instantly made my heart skip a beat holding tight.

What should I say to my sister?

"Did you hear that, son?" Mama's hoarse voice immediately pulled me from the daydream.

"From today you cannot appear in front of Almira nor can you contact Almira. Even though you said you would not say anything to Almira but only God knows the truth in your heart. So just in case you can't come to the hospital or call Almira, okay?" Said Aunt Lara with furrowed eyebrows on her face.

I held my breath, "I understand, Auntie." Then I lowered my head pretending to put food in my mouth.

Never mind, I can't get too involved if I don't want to be misunderstood. I decided to eat in silence and not interrupt the conversation of those who were still revolving on the topic of Almira. If not Almira then will switch to talking about businesses that are beyond my ability.

"Are you bored?" Ari's voice whispered beside me.

"Hem?" I looked at him doubtfully.

He smiled, "I'm bored here too. If allowed to go I'll go have fun playing all sorts of my favorite games at home."

"Do you like playing games?" I asked to voice my doubts.

"I don't want to learn to play games." I said.

"Are you afraid of Brother Deon? Don't worry, Rain. I can persuade him-"

"Ekhem Ari, can you explain how the project in C city is progressing your company is working on this year."

Deon's flat voice instantly shocked me and Ari. I frantically distanced myself from him and pretended to refocus on the food that was on my plate.

"Oh, the situation is very good" Alongside me, Ari began to present about the progress of the project that her company was working on. At first he was a bit stuttered but over time his percentage became smooth and relaxed.

I breathed a sigh of relief, raising my head to look at the situation on the table. As I hope that everyone's attention is currently on Ari.

They all seemed to be very interested in what Ari said-

Deg

My heart was pounding again when my eyes accidentally crossed Deon's dark eyes. Our eyes happened to meet, embarrassed, my lips spontaneously attracted to form a smile to greet him but Deon immediately turned his gaze towards Ari.

Smiling stiffly, I subconsciously lowered my head holding back the uncomfortable feeling in my heart.

"Pa, I have good news for Papa." I'm so excited to tell Papa about this good news. And I can't wait to tell the doctor about this good news.

Because I finally had a chance to recover from my illness. My God, I'm so happy that Deon is the drug I've been looking for.
