The Marrying Bet

The Marrying Bet
The arrival of Ryo



It was still early morning when Ryo drove the car to his sister's private house. The house is located far away in an area located on private land covering tens of hectares. Ryo actually first found the vast land, only because five years ago the land was still an unspoiled wilderness, Ryo was not interested in having it.


Viceroy actually fell in love with the place, the unspoiled land filled with lush trees with roads still in the form of mud that when the rain will not be able to pass except carrying special off-road terrain vehicles. Besides still in the form of wilderness, the area is an area of hills at the end facing a bay full of mangrove forests. So many crocodiles and wild animals such as monkeys to snakes that inhabit the area.


After a long dispute drama, due to the owners of overlapping certificates, until finally it can be won by the Viceroy legal team. No wonder the guard in the area was tightened, even guards were armed with firearms because many wild animals could attack at any time. Not to mention the electric barbed wire also protects the area from parties who might dare to try to touch the Viceroy's private land. Hence, Viceroy warned Vara not to wander recklessly around their house.


Ryo was still waiting in front of the gate along with a heavily armed guard officer who stood guard for twenty-four hours in the area.


Once the officer received the order to open the gate, then Ryo was welcome to enter the area. He was amazed, a place that was once only a wilderness area has now changed for the better. No wonder he is ambitious to own the land, with the aim of building a luxury resort. Ryo immediately parked the car in front of a high fence that locked a house with blue glass walls, just like his sister's company building.


This house does not even have a bell, Ryo wrote in his heart while calling his sister.


He waited for his brother to open the fence. Viceroy immediately picked up his clothes that he threw carelessly on the floor, put them back on quickly, then immediately got out of the room to open the fence.


"Do you want to come here early in the morning?" viceroy asked as Ryo entered his house.


"I must visit the place that will soon be mine," replied Ryo immediately pulling the chair that was on the dining table then sitting quietly.


"Well, you're very confident" said Viceroy.


"Roy, stop! Admit your defeat," Ryo smiled.


"You'll never win from me, even if you use any cunning means" Ryo continued.


"Ryo! You must have instigated mom, to have mom side with you!" Viceroy.


"Hmm, no, Roy!" said Ryo.


"Roy, I'm doing this for your own good and for our families too! You're too good, Roy, you deserve a better woman than your wife! I really support mom's decision to choose Sofia for you! Sofia is a good woman from our family, her educational background is also good! Then, he was also young!" said Ryo.


"You're so appreciative of Sofia, why don't you just marry Sofia?!" Viceroy smiled coldly.


"No way, I'm after my own sister-in-law!" sahut Ryo laughs.


"There are still many other women who are more worthy of me, Roy!" Ryo smiled.


"Roy, Sofia is the woman your mother chose for you! A woman who deserves to be with you!" ryo continued to advise his sister.


"I'd rather be a polite Sofia than your wild wife! I don't know what she's done until you're so crazy about your wife!"


Viceroy watched Ryo who was clearly provoking him.


While Ryo could only sigh heavily. His sister had really lost her mind because she had been affected by the itch and itch.


Ryo saw the broken plate on the kitchen floor, it was obvious that this couple had a fight because they had to accept defeat. Ryo hid his smile, victory was already completely in front of his eyes. When this married couple divorced, victory really belonged to him.


Ryo took out an envelope from his briefcase. 


"Because our bet is so big, so there must be a black agreement on the white," said Ryo thrusting an envelope containing their agreement.


Viceroy read the agreement signed by Ryo on a piece of stamp. Ryo was smiling.


"Roy, keep these words! When you part from your wife, you will truly be very grateful to me! I've been a savior to you and our family!".


"Maybe you're blinded by your love for your wife and the ambition that rules your life! But believe me, you will actually cry happily for the defeat you must accept!" continued Ryo.


"It's better that you lose your loathsome wife and your private estate, than you lose everything because of your wife" Ryo again advised Viceroy.


"Really Roy, I want your land as my birthday present later," said Ryo again.


Viceroy just kept quiet, staring at Ryo who seemed to be staring around the contents of his house. Ryo really plans to flatten this house with land to build a luxury resort.


"Then I say goodbye" said Ryo, stepping away.


Suddenly his eyes caught the bright pink sports shoes that were under the sofa near the entrance. Somehow Ryo felt familiar, remembering the pair of shoes he ordered when he was going to follow the final round of his company's internal badminton tournament. 


Ryo only ordered the latest model sports shoes in his subscription sports equipment store. So, anyone can have a model of these sports shoes. Ryo so thought to order a special sports shoes for Vara, so that no one matched the sports shoes for the woman. It was a pain to see Roy's wife have the same pair of sports shoes that he gave to Vara.


...*****...


Viceroy looked at his brother's departure. He stared irritatedly at their betting agreement letter. Ryo was really so ambitious to seize this private land. Viceroy has to do everything he can to protect this place and Vara. He must not lose these two things from his life. He really has to devise the right strategy.


He quickly kept the letter. Viceroy would not feel good if Vara to know about the gamble he did with his brother. Maybe his wife will come back crying because she feels played with.


Viceroy does realize that he originally married Vara only to win a gamble from Ryo. But what else to say, he finally really fell in love with Vara. After all, they were actually legally married, of course, it did not matter that he fell in love with his own wife. Another case if Viceroy fell in love with the wife of people, of course it would be a big problem.
