The Wife of the King's Pay

Chapter 99 Second Marriage

"Let's go down, Clea," said Alvian looking at Cleantha looking hesitant.

Cleantha looked at her house with a raging feeling. I don't know how long he hasn't set foot in that place.

Alvian precedes Cleantha to walk to the porch of the house. A moment later, he knocked on the door to announce his arrival to the residents of the house.

Cleantha followed from behind. Although reluctant to return to his home, but that's the best way at the moment. Inside, there is still a father that he misses so much.

"Excuse me," call Alvian a few times.

The door of the house was open from inside. Cleantha instantly recognized the figure of Keyla who was looking at her suspiciously.

"Sir Alvian, Clea, why are you here?" asked Keyla not to like it.

"Keyla, can we come in? I want to talk to you about something important" explained Alvian.

Keyla hissed in annoyance.

"Do you not know what time it is? It's time for people to rest, not to talk."

"But I can't postpone it. I want you to accept Clea to stay here again, because she's not pregnant."

Keyla's eyeballs are perfectly rounded.

"You mean Mr Clea miscarried? Or did he accidentally abort the contents?"

"Clea miscarriage. He's still weak, he needs you to take care of him."

"Why is it not the Father or the Lord of the King who looks after him?" reply Keyla cynical.

Hearing the noise, Ana comes out of her room.

"Eh, what's going on?" ask Ana to know.

A smile formed on Ana's lips when she saw Alvian coming to her house. His greediness instantly dominated.

"Geez, Clea, why are you back home?"

"Tante, please allow me and Clea in. I need to explain something about Cleantha" Alvian told Ana.

"Oh, yes, Mr. Alvian please come in," Ana replied kindly.

"Tante, why let them meet at night. Later Dad is disturbed," rebuked Keyla disagreed.

"Ah, it's okay. Your father's been sleeping well, it's impossible to wake up. Let's go in Mr. Alvian, Cleantha," said Ana, opening the door wide. His instincts said that Alvian's arrival this time would bring him favorable news.

Cleantha sat beside Alvian while bowing her head.

Feeling as a stranger in her own home, Cleantha lowered her head. He doesn't want to see Keyla or Ana.

"Tante, I'm taking Cleantha home because I want her to stay in this house again. Clea just had a miscarriage. It's better if he's taken care of by his family" Alvian said.

Ana's face immediately turned happy.

"You miscarried, Clea? Wow that's good news. Finally gone is the disgrace of our family."

Hearing Ana's reaction, there was anger in Alvian's heart.

"Aunty shouldn't have said that. Clea's child is the child of a legitimate marriage."

"But Cleantha was already divorced from the Lord King," Keyla cut coldly.

"That's true. But soon Clea will marry me" Alvian retorted.

For the second time, Keyla and Ana are taken aback by Alvian's statement.

"Master wants to marry Clea? If this is true, we would be very happy" Ana said with sparkling eyes. The image of the rain of money falling from the sky immediately filled his head.

"Yes, Aunt. Therefore while waiting for the divorce verdict and the iddah Cleantha period is over, let her stay here. I'll give you alimony every month like Auntie asked for."

Alvian's promise was like a dream come true for Ana. His originally sleepy face turned vigorously fresh.

"Good, Sir. This is Cleantha's house, too. We will definitely accept and take good care of Cleantha. Isn't that right, Key?" asked Ana while nudging Keyla's arm.

Keyla did not reply, but her expression did not show any rejection.

"Tante, this is my business card. Aunty can send me my Aunt's account number tomorrow. Now I'm going home."

Before leaving, Alvian held Cleantha's hand.

"Clea, take a break and keep your mind at ease. Trust me. I will overcome all the obstacles that stand in our way" Alvian said, then kissed Cleantha on the forehead.

Witnessing Alvian's affection for Cleantha, Keyla screeches. He did not understand why the men could bend their knees to his sister. Even when his status was already widowed, he was still in demand by handsome men like Alvian.

...****************...

Mrs. Marina walked restlessly in the room. There was a sense of happiness, anxiety and regret that burdened his heart. He was happy to hear the news of the King's resignation at a board meeting. But he still doubts whether Alvian will accept the position of CEO, considering his son is difficult to control. While her feelings of guilt because she had made Cleantha lose her baby.

"Ma, can I come in? Mama's not asleep, is she?" call Alvian from behind the door.

Between joy and surprise, ma'am. Marina opened the door for her son.

"Why did you suddenly come home?" ask Ny. Marina's full of probes.

Alvian invited his mother to sit down to speak from heart to heart.

"Mama must have heard about the resignation of the King's sister" said Alvian opened talks.

"Yet, Ma. My appointment will be announced when I give my consent."

"What do you mean by this, Al?" ask Ny. Marina raised her voice.

"I will fulfill your desire to be CEO, as long as you grant one of my wishes" Alvian said holding his mother's hand.

Mrs. Marina frowned. Can't believe that Alvian dared to make terms with him. His premonition said Alvian's request must be related to the affairs surrounding Cleantha.

"So you want to bargain with Mama?" ask Ny. Marina squinted her eyes.

"I'm sorry, Ma, but this is the only way I can do it."

Alvian softened his voice.

"I'll confess my feelings to Mama. Actually, I really love Cleantha. So please bless our relationship. Allow me to marry Cleantha."

Ny's Breath. Marina felt tight to hear Alvian's plea. Never imagined at all that he would get a widow's son-in-law, let alone a widow from his stepson. This was the greatest disaster of his old age.

"No! Mama wouldn't accept a woman like Cleantha as Mama's daughter-in-law. Did you forget she was your ex-sister-in-law?" tukas Ny's. The marina.

"I understand, Ma. But the marriage of King and Cleantha is kept secret from our extended family as well as others. Few people know it. Mama's not to be ashamed."

"I've never asked anything from my mom. I promise this is my first and last wish. If Mama approves of me and Clea, I will accept the position of CEO and manage the company well. I'll do everything you want" Alvian said at his mother's feet.

Seeing the earnestness of Alvian's heart, Mrs. Marina moves.

As a mother, she knew that Alvian was not messing with her words. Although he felt very objected, there was no harm if this time he relented.

There is a saying that says surrender to win, and he will try to practice the principle.

"Alright, Al. Mama will let you marry that woman. But tomorrow immediately accept the position of CEO at Adhiyaksa Group."

Alvian stood up and hugged his mother.

"Thank you, Ma" said Alvian.

...****************...

Keyla entered hurriedly into the bridal dressing room.

"Sir, is Clea done? The work will begin soon" Keyla asked the makeup officer who dressed Cleantha.

"Already, Ma'am. Look at the beautiful Mother Cleanya," said the bride was proud of her work.

Cleantha turned to Keyla. Her heart rate increased after seeing her brother's gaze.

Eight months have passed since the bitter events of his life, and now he will welcome a new life. The life with Alvian Adhiyaksa, the man who now fills his days.

The reflection on the vanity glass, shows how stunning her appearance as a bride is. With a white kebaya specially designed by a famous boutique, plus the perfect artist makeup, will surely envy every woman who sees it.

"Come, Clea, the ruler is waiting" said Keyla.

"Yes, Brother."

Keyla took Cleantha's hand to get out to the ballroom. But Ana came with Mr. Sigit with her.

"Clea.." call Mr. Sigit. Her eyes were filled with happiness from seeing her daughter become a bride.

Cleantha hurriedly approached her father. Over the past three months, his father's development has been excellent. He could speak in clear sentences and also move both hands.

"Dad," said Cleantha hugging her father while shedding tears.

"Don't cry, Clea. It's your wedding day."

"Blessed always be with your husband" said Mr. Sigit with teary eyes.

"Come, come on, Clea, Mr. Alvian is waiting for you. Don't let your marriage be annulled" Ana said worriedly. He did not want to lose the money tree he had long awaited.

Cleantha nodded her head. Flanked by Keyla and the bride fairies, she enters the spacious ballroom.

All the guests' eyes were on him. Today she will be queen for a day.

A portion of the Adhiyaksa Group's employees stared at Cleantha in admiration.

"Well, Clea, that's so pretty. She was really lucky to be the CEO's wife" Irna whispered to Anya.

"Yes, it's because Mr. Alvian's love died with him. It was rare for a girl whose fate was as good as Cleantha's. If only I could replace him," Anya said.

Invitational guests consisting of relatives, relations, and employees were present at the event, except for the King. He is still abroad to look after Zevira. But if there is a chance, it is certain he will not come just to see his sister married to his ex-wife.

Cleantha sat beside Alvian.

For Cleantha this second marriage felt very different to her first marriage.

If his marriage to the King was kept secret, everyone is now present to congratulate him, including his father and brother.

Seeing that Cleantha was ready, Alvian smiled as he whispered near his wife's ear.

"You're so pretty, honey."

Cleantha returned Alvian's praise with a smile. There was no doubt in his heart. From today onwards, she will accompany Alvian and be a good wife to her husband.
