9 A condition

The atmosphere in the rented house from the woman who was none other than Arabella, looked very lively. Because there were some neighbors who came after Billy made a fuss by breaking down the front door and also his room.

A few moments later, two handsome men who were the most influential people in her life had come and made a one-sided decision without thinking about her feelings and desires.

Do not forget the voices of the neighbors who have blasphemed him out. Because he thinks she is a cheap woman. Everyone's perception was that she herself had put the man in the room. Even she herself did not know at all, how the man who always interfered with her life could be in her room.

"I don't want to marry this bastard!" shouted Arabella very furiously. Even her face had turned red when she couldn't contain her anger.

"You have to get married, because you have committed adultery here," said the head of the RW on behalf of everyone. "Because the citizens are now very disturbed by your actions. Apart from avoiding sin, everyone will not blaspheme you, Arabella."

Arabella still kept shaking her head over and over to refuse the marriage. "I didn't do anything. He did try to rape me, but it didn't happen because Billy had come to save me!"

Some residents just smiled mockingly, asserting that they thought the woman in front of him was just a wild woman who didn't want to be tied to a marriage.

Meanwhile, Stevan and Zaydan, who had just spoken with the marriage guardian, had returned to the room.

Actually Stevan who was none other than Leonard's half brother felt very sorry for Arabella, but when he thought that Leonard would never let her go. It might even jeopardize Arabella's safety and reputation, making her decide to marry them off.

"Arabella, I know that you two don't love each other and I made this sudden decision for your own good. Even if you hide in an ant hole, my step brother will look for you. If he ever does bad things to you without anyone else knowing, I feel very guilty about you. you were raped, you better marry Leonard."

Arabella was still silent, because her voice was now caught in her throat. The feeling of tightness she felt right now really made her heart shatter into pieces. Her current state is like an egg on the edge of a horn. Never had she even thought about marrying a man who hated so much and wanted to destroy her life.

"I'd rather be ruined than to marry your step brother who has no conscience," Arabella snarled angrily.

Meanwhile, Leonard had just come out of the bathroom and was wearing a white shirt and black trousers. The clothes had just been brought by the driver, because his clothes were already horribly on the bathroom floor.

With an occasional grimace from the pain in his lip, which was torn from Billy's punching him in the face, he walked closer to Arabella and the two people who weren't random people.

"I'm getting married, because I want to be responsible to Arabella because I love her very much and don't want to get the woman I love pregnant out of wedlock. Come on, my brother, be a witness at my wedding." Leonard blinked and smiled at the figure of the woman to the left of him standing.

"You really have gone mad!" shouted Arabella with a glint of fire in her eyeballs. "This marriage will not be valid because of coercion."

Meanwhile, everyone just realized that Arabella's last sentence was true, so they couldn't say anything. Even Stevan cursed his own stupidity when he forgot the conditions for a valid marriage. He also glanced at the figure of a handsome man with a tall, sturdy body on his right who was none other than his wife's brother and the man Arabella loved.

"What do you think?"

The man who was none other than Zaydan was still silent and looked alternately at Arabella and Leonard. As soon as he came up with an idea, Zaydan grabbed Arabella's wrist.

"Follow me!" Still holding Arabella's hand, walked out of the room. Of course, there were several people who filled the rented house.

Meanwhile, Arabella, who was like a buffalo, had her nose poked, just silent and following the footsteps of the man she admired and loved so much. Until when she arrived in front of the house, she just looked at Zaydan who still had his back to her. Waiting for the handsome man to turn around and make a sound.

Zaydan looked at Arabella. "You'd better marry Leonard! All of this is for your own good. Because Leonard will never let you go. Now you choose, end up being raped and abandoned, or marry Leonard who is ready to marry you?"

"I didn't choose either," Arabella answered without wanting to think about it. In fact, she was not at all interested in being in touch with the rich families who had changed her entire life to this point.

Zaydan massaged his temples as he felt dizzy while coaxing the woman who was still steadfast in her stance. "I like your style, Arabella. Now you don't call me boss like you used to. It's better and we can talk comfortably without you feeling sorry for me because you're not working at my restaurant."

"Because you're not my boss anymore!" Arabella replied with a sour face.

"Yes, you are right. You are human after all, and so am I. Rank and wealth will not make us any different in God's eyes." Zaydan watched the expression on her face that looked very frustrated and when he saw a smile appear on Arabella's face, he immediately had an idea in his head.

Although he thought that his idea was ridiculous for daring to take such a risk. "Marry Leonard and I will guarantee your life."

Arabella frowned when she heard the ambiguous tone of the man she had adored for a long time. "You mean?"

Zaydan, who knew very well that the woman in front of him loved him, used it to influence Arabella's decision. However, he swallowed his saliva before speaking. "If Leonard is mean to you, I will teach him a lesson. If necessary, my life will be at stake."

"Gosh! Why take everyone's life, that's not good!" said Stevan who had been feeling very worried for his brother-in-law and made him go out to follow and check on the situation.

Arabella and Zaydan now looked at Stevan who had just arrived. Until the hand with those strong books had punched Stevan's flat stomach.

"Shut up, brother-in-law. Gosh, just annoying. Ah... looks like I need your help too." Zaydan turned to look at Arabella. "Stevan and I will take full responsibility for your life if Leonard dares to do evil to you, Arabella."

Stevan, who understood the direction of his brother-in-law's conversation, reflexively nodded his head. "Yes, Arabella. I will also be responsible for you if my sister ever dares to mess with you. Don't worry, I will change my sister."

Arabella fell silent when there were two handsome men who currently seemed to want to protect and give her a hope. At first she was never really interested, but because the one who offered, one of them was Zaydan, made her waver and her greedy soul emerged.

"Okay, I will marry Leonard. However, if there is a problem later, I want you to take responsibility by marrying me!" Arabella pointed at Zaydan with a sharp gaze.

"What!" Zaydan rolled his eyes and immediately shouted when he heard Arabella's condition.

Likewise with Stevan who never thought that Arabella would speak like that.
