One percent, enough.

"So what do you want?" Edgar asked as soon as Richard appeared before him. I don't know what wind brought Richard to see him.

"Let's bet. We're racing along this road. Our finish place is a racecourse near CB housing"

"So what should we bet?"

"Ella"

"Is there nothing else? I'm gonna go"

"If I win, I won't bother him anymore. Even we are family. But if you lose, she'll have to marry me" Richard folded his arms and leaned back in his car.

It's very risky. If I win then Ella will be free from all problems. But if I lose, then forever Ella will never be able to escape their grasp. What am I supposed to do? Edgar was still at war with his heart.

"I'm waiting for your answer. Meet me tomorrow if you're serious about fighting with me. Be a real man" After saying those words, Richard drove away leaving Edgar still pondering.

Damnit damnit! This choice is so hard. I'm not entirely responsible for Ella's life either, but I want to make her as happy as I promised Aunt Marie.

Edgar was worried about making his choice. He's so upset. Finally he went to see his brother Jackson. Maybe there was a little advice from his brother.

***

"What are your options if he challenges you that way?" Jackson asked as Edgar finished his story.

"What choice do I have, brother? If I wasn't confused, I'd probably already be in the arena challenging him" Edgar sniffed at Jackson's race questions.

"So what exactly are you afraid of?"

"If she loses, Ella's life will forever be shackled with them. The Derbaltroz family is not a good family"

"I have a friend of a Derbaltroz if you forget. And all this time we've been fine"

"Maybe you're okay now but not going forward. The nature of parents can be passed down to their children. I just reminded you, brother. One time he betrays me, don't look for me while crying"

"What do you think I am? Accept offer. You're a good racer. Just use my car because I've changed some features to maximize the speed"

"alright. Don't tell Mom that I'm doing wild racing. I can be chopped"

"Just calm. You're thinking enough for your victory" cried Jackson as Edgar walked out of his room.

Eh? I forgot to tell Edmund that the one who changed all the features was Nick. But well, I brought the car a few days ago but there were no obstacles.

Jackson turned to the bathroom and finished his work, which was delayed by Edgar's arrival.

I waited at that place. I hope you're not cheating. I'll destroy your family when that happens. Edgar

The short message arrived on Richard's phone. A satisfied smile was clearly imprinted on his lips. Ella will be his and maybe even his grandfather's treasure.

"Let's go on. I'm happy right now"

The hot activity happened. Whether he loves it or not in his 18-year-old body. The hysterical scream of the girl became a silent witness to the shaking earthquake.

***

"Emma why do I feel so bad? I keep thinking about Edgar"

"Call him. Couldn't he have died in a car crash?. She's gonna be okay"

The deg! Again the feeling arises.

Tuuut.... Long time call ringing sound. Ella called Edgar 14 times and the owner picked him up.

"Ummm halooo" The typical hoarse voice of a newly awakened person.

"Where are you?" Ella panic.

"bed. Little girl, you're disturbing my sleep"

"Thank God then. Get up, we're going to the restaurant to see Renay tonight"

"ugh... Sucks. Why meet the girl?"

"He bought us to eat. He said the wedding day will be announced soon"

"Hey.. You okay?"

"Hehehee... I'm more than good. I'm so happy for my best friend"

"If it hurts, you can lean on me. I will always be ready. And make sure 1 percent of your heart stays there"

"OK!" Phone connection disconnected.

"So where are the polar bears?" Emma asked to see Ella was done calling.

"Warm mattress. I feel like the little girl who woke up the big bear. The marza? A masha? I don't know if I forgot his name"

"You're ready soon too"

"All right"

But somehow the feeling has not disappeared even though Edgar is fine there.

***

"Hey, come here!" Call Renay when you see Ella, Edgar and Emma. Edgar looked like a man with two wives because of Emma and Ella who were walking beside him.

Ella was a little surprised because there were also the Rein Family and Leon Simmons. There was a slight sense of deg degan pounding on his chest. He took a breath and approached Renay.

"Congratulations yeah? You're finally the first one to have the first night"

That slightly vulgar word Ella whispered as she hugged Renay. Renay's face turned red and she smiled shyly.

Ella then hugged Mr and Mrs Rein. Gifts Madame Rein a soft kiss on her cheek.

"Congratulations to you, Mi. Maybe next year there will be a baby cry"

"I hope you'll catch up too"

"Hehee... Renay holds 3 new kids I'll catch up with" Ella scratched her head.

Madam Rein simply smiled then let them all sit down. Ella is positioned to the left of Leon. Mrs Rein herself sat to the left of Ella. I don't know what the Rein Family meant.

Edgar who was taking a seat across from Ella became unsettled. She fears Ella is affected by Renay and Leon's affection.

"Mommy, this looks awkward. I'm like his second wife Brother Leon if I sit like this. I'll just sit next to Edgar" Ella Manyun said.

"By Edgar's side you'll be a second wife. Emma was beside him. Looky"

"I will sit among them. They often fight so they need me as mediator. I'm afraid tonight's restaurant is turning into a war arena"

Madam Rein just resignedly then nodded. He wanted to see Leon's reaction when Ella was nearby. But the plan failed.

"Does Young Master Edmund not want to date these two sweet girls?"Asked Renay's father to open the conversation because they had been quietly spending dinner.

"One percent of his heart has my name is enough" Edgar replied with certainty.

"Hisself?"

"A true man has only one woman in his lifetime, although death will separate them later. I had to choose them both. That's not good, there's going to be hurt so I never plan on dating them"

"So what do you think, Leon boy, if there's Ella and Renay, who would you choose?"

Trapping questions. One sentence from you is the life-determining of the Simmons. Be careful with your answer, brother. Ella looked at Leon and smiled meaningfully.

"I chose Miss Reinar because she's my fiancee. Ella and I have the same last name Simmons. There's no way I'm with my sister. Don't you, El?" Leon looked at Ella and smiled back at Ella's smile.

I used my threat at that time as the answer today. You're good, brother.

"I'm Renay's best friend, Young Master Leon is my foster brother. So why choose me. I have both of them without having to be chosen, right?" Ella answered with certainty. The sweet smile not fading from her face convinced doubt in the hearts of Mr and Mrs Rein.

"Does anyone want to ask me a question? I was very quiet and my mouth was angry with me for not having sniffed from earlier" Finally Emma made a sound that melted the atmosphere that was awkward because of Mr. Rein's question.

"When you graduate, where are you going?" Ask Renay.

"Follow Ella of course. I became what I am now because of him. So I'll always be by her side"

Ella hugged Emma knowing that her best friend loved her very much.

"I hope when I get married, you don't take me away from my husband" Ella said, making them all laugh.

Ella's gaze locked the figure across her desk.

Congratulations on your wedding date, brother.

When Leon raised his face to look at Ella, Ella first turned her neck towards Edgar. There was a little sauce left there. Ella grabbed a tissue and wiped the corner of Edgar's lips. Edgar smiled back at Ella's treatment.

One percent is enough. Edgar
