Not a Show Wife

Chapter 12: Ignored

Elisha looked at her unblinkingly, he did not expect the newly arrived man to be Harry, his former lover. The woman immediately turned her eyes away, Sky who was watching Elisha was trying to interpret the look on Elisha's face, he felt that there was something strange about his attitude.

"Welcome Mr. Harry" said one of the men from the gathering. Harry smiled sweetly revealing the dimples he had.

Then, the man turned towards Sky. "Good night Mr. Sky, we meet again." Imbuh the man while grinning and extending his hand.

"Good Night" Sky replied as he shook the man's hand.

Harry tried to see the familiar face, but Elisha approached Sky to avoid his former lover's sight.

"Elisa, say hello to Mr. Harry. Aren't you close friends?" I don't know what his uncle meant, but the man is now having a little laugh with the rest of his friends. Though they know that Harry is Elisha's ex-lover, he is the man who 7 years ago will marry the woman. But for one thing he ended up marrying someone else.

The man was someone who carried a wound for Elisha so that he no longer wanted to know any man after him. Sky diverted the conversation from Uncle Charly, he pulled Elisha closer and looked at Harry with his signature grin.

"Include her as my future wife" Sky said with a faint smile. Then Elisha looked at the sky deeply, amazed at the man.

Even in this kind of situation, the man was very sensitive to his feelings. But his heart was trying to dodge, he couldn't possibly like Sky. The man was the one who seized all the assets of his family's fortune, so for what awe towards such a man.

Harry smiled wryly towards Sky, the man now joined the others as well as Sky. While Elisha went to the women's table, there everyone performed perfectly. No one forgot an inch of her face from makeup.

The man, then turning his head towards Elisha, saw the woman starting to join the others. Sky and Harry sat at one table with the other.

After that there will be a dance event with their respective partners, "Elisa. You're going to marry Mr Sky? Well you're very lucky" said Mrs Gibson to Elisha who was drinking her red wine.

"Yes, he's my future husband." answered Elisha with great force. She occasionally steals glances at her ex-boyfriend, Harry. The woman occasionally let out a long breath.

The show went smoothly, after the announcement of Elisha and Sky's wedding. They returned to the Michigan home.

In short, a week later Elisha and Sky had succeeded in binding a sacred promise. It was marked with a circular ring on his second finger. After the wedding was over, Sky took Elisa to the city to stay at a hotel there.

Sky never intended to spend the night with Elisha, he took the woman to the hotel just because he wanted to avoid various questions about the first night. Sky was still acting cold, even he only looked warm in front of the guests. While with Elisha, he was never that warm.

During the trip, they did not talk much and did not even chat at all. Elisha was still staring at the streets that were now getting dark because of the minimal lighting. After a tiring trip, the two took a break at a hotel. They entered the hotel to retrieve their room keys.

"Sky Albert,"

"Here you please, numbers 135 and 136." The receptionist gave Sky two room keys. Elisha could only look at the man in slight surprise.

He thought it would be their night. In fact no, all night Sky was in room 135 and Elisha was in room 136. There were no words Sky spoke, just one sentence as he handed the key to Elisha. "Come in!"

Just that, Sky spent his night with a branched mind. He always remembered the moment of his sister's departure. Sometimes, he felt that the way he sought revenge was wrong. But, that was all he could do for now. It felt unsatisfied that he did not destroy the family to its roots.

The next day, Elisha was still waiting for Sky in the room. The woman was relieved that she was not touched by Sky, but on one side she was also sad. Because he felt neglected. Though the day before, Sky successfully made him feel valuable even when in front of others Sky treated him very well.

Waiting at the door like a dazed person, "excuse me miss, the occupants of the room seem to have left since morning blind. But he's coming back, because he gave me a message that the lady was asked to wait for him to come back. He said there was business."

What was that, Elisha was stunned to hear every explanation that the hotel waiter conveyed. She was dumped?

Elisha nodded while smiling at the man, without a word Elisha returned to his room. He decided to grab the book he had already carried in his bag. He read the book, next to the sofa facing straight out the window. Apparently Sky was in the casino where it often became a city there. He was drinking with another friend.

"I didn't expect you to marry a Michigan family." a middle-aged man was downing a glass of champagne in his hand.

"Curtainly," Sky chuckled, the man chugging the same drink.

"At least give him a good living."

"If I do, he won't suffer."

"Have you ever thought about letting go of your past behind your back?" The man looked closely at Sky.

The man nodded slowly,

"I live for this, otherwise I might have ended my life since then." she grinned faintly. The tattoo on his arm is now clearly visible.

"You're hurting yourself Albert." The man seemed to know a lot about Sky.

"You promised to help me to the end" Sky turned towards the man with squeaky eyes.

"Elisa is my business. As long as she's my wife I can do anything to her, right? Even if he has to die at my hands, I have the right to do so."

"Hey, that's so cruel! But, I'm sure you're not a typical person who flirts with women." said the man.

Sky chuckled, "you know a lot about me, but I still don't know where this wedding is going."

"You have got everything from the family, you have even drained all their wealth through the stupidity of the Skandar. Now marry the woman of the family. What else is your plan?"

"He was never part of my plan, but that Skandar bastard opened the way by himself. He's risking his own sister. I can't refuse." Sky chugged back his drink.

"You've got a trauma, what can you do with it."

"That will hurt him, I won't let that woman live happily. Every day he would beg me to let go, but I would never let him go. I'll make him feel unwanted. It was a fair pay for him, moreover, he had already tried to frame me."

Sky poured the remaining drinks in the bottle into his glass.
