Sorry For Hurting You's

Request

Ell was checking the documents on his desk.

Suddenly the door of the room opened.

Ell saw his father enter with an angry look.

He was sure his father had come to scold him.

"Ell, what are you doing here?

Didn't Dad ask you to do a photo shoot with Alice?

Why did you just leave, huh?"

"I don't have time for all that Dad."

ell said in a relaxed tone.

His eyes also did not switch from the documents he had in his hands.

"What did you say?

You don't have time for such an important thing?

What if the media finds out that you don't really intend to get married?

They're gonna come back up with bad arguments about our family."

"I don't care about Dad."

"All!"

Sergio's tone began to rise.

Ell then closed the document that was in her hands and approached Sergio who was looking at her with an angry look.

"I've sacrificed so far, Dad.

Isn't that enough to restore our family's good name?"

Sergio sighed.

He knew his son did not like his marriage.

"Ell, you yourself know that our family is still in the midst of community.

Marriage is the only way for everything to stop.

Everything including your marriage is temporary.

Within 6 months you can part ways with Alice, maybe even sooner if things improve quickly.

You just have to be patient, son.

Sorry I forced you to get married."

"I still don't want to do that shoot Dad."

Ell kept his decision firm.

"Alright, if you don't want to.

I'm not gonna force you to do a photo shoot.

But I'm asking you to follow all the other preparations."

"Hem.."

said Ell at a glance.

"Then Dad left.

There's something I need to take care of again."

Sergio then walked out of Ell's room.

Passing Sergio, Ell massaged his head that felt so tired.

The marriage weighed so much on him.

"Alice..."

Alice stopped her steps when she heard someone calling her from behind.

And he knew who the owner of the voice was.

He turned his back and smiled as Kate walked towards him.

"You just got back from the store?"

"Yes Brother."

"Is everything going well?"

Alice nodded her head.

"Thank God then.

If there's a problem, you can tell Brother.

And for Ell..

Ell's attitude might indicate her dislike.

But I hope you understand Alice."

"Yes Brother.

I understand how Ell feels.

We shouldn't be involved in this marriage."

"All will be well Alice.

You can make sure of that."

Kate stroked Alice's shoulder gently.

"Hem, I know Brother."

"Alright, now you better clean yourself up.

We'll have family dinner tonight."

Alice nodded her head and then left Kate.

Kate looked at Alice's back intently.

(I hope Ell doesn't hurt Alice.)

--

It didn't feel like all the wedding preparations were done and tomorrow was the day Ell and Alice got married.

It made Alice feel so uneasy because tomorrow her status had changed to that of a Wife.

What will happen tomorrow after she marries Ell?

Ell, the man will be her husband.

Although it may be just a formality and in a temporary time.

But tomorrow he will make a wedding appointment.

That means their marriage is no joke.

Alice will try to do her best for her short marriage.

While Ell was chatting with his Father and Mother.

He intends to say something to them.

"Dad, Mom, I want to say something.

This is my wish after marriage."

"What do you want to say to Ell's father and mother?"

ask Laura.

"After marriage I want Alice and I to stay in my apartment."

"What's?

You two can stay in this house."

"I don't have any special reasons Dad.

I just want to have a life of my own after marriage.

And when I part ways with Alice, I'm going back to this house."

"But Ell.."

"Mother, I beg you.."

"Alright if that's what you want Ell.

I'll tell Uncle Mario and Aunt Marine about your request.

Father himself accepted your request."

"Thank you Dad."

While Laura looked towards Ell with a worried look.

He did not want Ell and Alice to stay apart from them.

There was nothing she was afraid of from Ell and Alice.

It's just that if he stays with them, he can control Ell who might hurt Alice later.

Laura knows that Ell hates Alice.

She did not want Alice to suffer.

--

"What's?

Ell wants to live with Alice in her apartment?"

marine said in a surprised tone after hearing the statement from her Husband.

"It's really dear."

"How could Ell make such a request of Mario?

We all know that their marriage is just a formality.

They don't have to live alone in that place."

It certainly makes the Marine afraid and worried.

Fear that the marriage is slowly becoming real.

Although he thought it was impossible, considering Ell hated Alice.

But still, Ell was a man.

And he will live alone with Alice who is his wife.

"Already Marine.

That's Ell's request, we have to respect it.

We also have no reason to refuse.

The public must also think that it would be better for them to stay apart from us after marriage.

Ell's decision was very good.

Don't you think?"

"See, unfortunately I don't think that way Mario."

Behind their bedroom door, Kate was so sad to hear her parents talk from the outside.

Ell would go far away from him and that meant he would rarely meet Ell.

Did the man do that to keep her away?

If it is true, it is the result of his own actions.

He asked Ell to agree to marry.

--

Kate knocked on Alice's door.

Not long after, the door opened and revealed Alice's face.

"Sister Kate..."

Alice smiled at Kate's arrival.

"Why haven't you slept?"

"I just can't sleep Brother."

Kate smiled and then sat down on Alice's bed.

Alice sat down beside him.

"No idea how you're feeling right now.

You must be so nervous because tomorrow is your wedding day.

Tomorrow's wedding isn't a real wedding.

But I'm sure all the girls definitely can't sleep because basically a marriage happens between two loving people who say the wedding vows."

Kate smiled remembering her dream of marrying the man she loved.

And tomorrow the man is married to someone else.

The smile changed instantly.

Alice lowered her head.

He also wants to marry the man he loves and loves.

But tomorrow he married a man who did not love him.

It was sad, very.

He only wants to get married once in a lifetime.

And it was impossible for him, considering that in the near future he would part with Ell.

Alice had no hopes for her wedding.

He just wants God to show the best way for him and everyone.

Kate then held Alice's hand.

"Tomorrow you'll get married.

You'll make a promise in front of everyone.

You don't have to worry about Alice.

Brother is with you.

And after marriage, you can call Brother if you need anything."

Alice returned to Kate's hand.

"Thank you, brother.

Brother was very nice to me."

"Of course Big Brother is very kind to you Alice.

You are Brother's sister."

Alice smiled and then hugged Kate's body.

Her tears slowly drip.

Her guilt re-emerges considering Kate is the woman Ell loved.

Kate should have been with Ell.

But he also could do absolutely nothing.

If time could play out, he wouldn't call Ell that day.
