The Exchangeable Marriage

Money's Talk

"Fucking william! He set me up!" charlie was full of emotion. At that time Mr and Mrs Madison had already visited him in confinement.

"The evidence William gave is considered strong enough that they will process you immediately" Mr. Madison said, holding the bars where his daughter was in brackets.

Charlie's tears started to drip and became swift instantly. "Then what should I do, pah? I don't want to be in jail" cried Charlie.

Madison took out her silk handkerchief and wiped Charlie's tears. "Nobody's gonna put you in jail, baby. Mama and papa will do anything to get you out of here" Madison said. He tried to calm Charlie down even though in his heart he cursed because it was not a profit they got but a fortune.

Charlie's crying voice echoed throughout the room. "So soon, ma. I'm scared, so scared" sobs Charlie. Curly hair that is usually neatly arranged, now I don't know where.

Mr and Mrs Madison promised to get Charlie out of there immediately.

While William is in a cage next to Charlie. He just snorted at Madison's family's rant that was too deifying for his daughter.

"I don't know what makes me love you? After what happened recently I realized that I regret ever loving you. Your sister is a hundred times better than you," said Will calmly.

Charlie turned sharply towards Will. "Why don't you just marry her? Why did you choose me?" charlie asked annoyed.

"I was blinded by you. By the time I kidnapped your sister, I already felt that tremor. She looks beautiful, even more beautiful than you. I could not deny that I was amazed at him" replied Will.

And Will wasn't lying,

Five years ago, five years ago,

When Will managed to put Camilla to sleep that night, his heart was racing quickly when he saw Camilla's face from close range.

"They are very different. It's stupid that Oak can't tell them apart" Will muttered in his heart, his eyes still glued to Camilla's pretty face. It was hard to distract from the girl.

Will carefully laid Camilla in the middle seat of his XUV-type black car. In fact, Will had to get rid of the veil on Camilla's face and tidied Camilla's hair that was separated from the bond due to the resistance earlier.

Will then drove his car slowly, he did not know where to get rid of Camilla. It's a pity that if he's dumped in the woods, he better take care of him, right? So Will thought that day.

It didn't feel like he was out of the Metropolitan city, through downtown, and Will still didn't know where to leave Camilla.

By morning, Will's eyes were already very sticky to resist sleepiness. So he pulled his car over at the refueling station to rest and buy a cup of coffee.

Will occasionally peeked at Camilla to see if she was awake or not. While walking around the stop, Will wondered about the presence or absence of housing nearby.

After his sleepiness is gone and according to the direction of the guard of the place of the stop, if he continues to walk straight then he will find the city of Z. A small town inhabited by less than fifty heads of families.

So, Will drove his vehicle towards the city of Z. Arriving there, he met a man who had just returned from nowhere and the man entered the apartment. Will narrowed his eyes, trying to see more clearly.

All of a sudden he had the idea of leaving Camilla in front of the man's apartment thinking the city was quite far from the Metropolitan city where Oak and Madison lived, and it seemed that the working man was nice. So, armed with that thought, Will carried Camilla carefully and slowly laid her down in front of the man's apartment.

Will rang the bell of the man's apartment and then he ran back into his car. Will waits for the man to come out but the man does not open the door.

Fifteen minutes he waited there, he was worried that Camilla would be cold but considering the wedding dress in Camilla was thick and there were several layers then Will hoped Camilla would not be cold.

After twenty minutes, Will's wait was not in vain. The man opened the door, he crouched down and woke Camilla up. Will immediately picks up his phone and calls Charlie. "Hey hon, I've done well" said Will, then he turned his car around to return to the Metropolitan city while keeping an eye on Camilla from behind the rearview mirror.

"May you always be happy beautiful girl," said Will monologue, his eyes could not be separated from Camilla until the girl entered the apartment.

***

After reopening the memories of his past five years, Will now regrets his actions. Whatever he will do to make up for what he has done.

Will also wants his beloved son, who is now in heaven, to be proud of his brave father. Will's heart felt so sliced when he knew his son was dead. He had not seen his little face.

All because of that damn carrier woman! Yes, all because of him!

Will and Charlie are now silent and sitting on a small plastic carpet in the cage. "Hey, Will. What if my parents manage to get me out of here? You're not gonna be sad?" ask Charlie.

Will looked at Charlie with a look of disdain. "Face your punishment, Charlie. Be a responsible human being! I'm just your executor but the brains of all this evil are you, Charlie!" will exclaimed.

"What can't be bought with money, Will? You love me too because you want to splash Oak's treasure, don't you? Don't be hypocritical!" reply Charlie spicy.

"I love you from my heart and it's sincere. It's up to you to think of it how. If I'm not sincere, why am I angry with you because you didn't look after our son and let him die!" will did not lose his spiciness.

Charlie grunted in annoyance. "Huh! You're so stupid, Will!"

Charlie never thought that William Scott loved him so much. Charlie thinks their relationship is just a mutually beneficial and exploiting friendship. If there is love, then Charlie will be ready to throw it away.

The two confined men were now silent, there was no word they could say anymore. Just sometimes the small talk they make.

Several policemen take turns asking Will and Charlie about the kidnapping and manipulation of DNA tests.

When night came, Charlie's parents came with a strong man and a smart face with them.

"I've hired a good lawyer, introduced him to Stuart Joe Forest," Mr. Madison told Charlie.

"The forest? Don't tell me he's brother to,-"

Charlie's speech was interrupted when the man interrupted his conversation. "Millo Forest's. Meet me Millo Jonathan Forest's older brother, just call me Joe. No need to thank me, let's just say this is how I met you, Charlotte Madison," said Joe smiling, his hands busy unlocking Charlie's confinement while being watched by some of the warden's officers.
