11 Problem solved

Leonard, who felt that he hated the woman in front of him even more, because he was silent and looked very happy when Arabella's hand was in Zaydan's, of course made him swear.

"Young master Zaydan, have you always been touching women like that?" Leonard grabbed his cell phone and immediately took a picture of the scene in front of him. "Wow... you two are perfect as photo models. Look, the results are very good and show you are photogenic. How about I send this to the big lady who is at home."

Zaydan's reflex immediately let go of his grip and walked towards Leonard very casually. Don't forget to put his hands on his chest while observing what Leonard will do.

"Just do it and I'll make you sleep under the bridge with your family!" Zaydan glanced at Stefan. "Advise your wonderfully beloved little brother, Stevan."

"Of course, Brother," Stefan replied, nodding slowly, glaring at Leonard. Without uttering a word to advise his step-sister, because he didn't want to embarrass himself in front of people. He just wanted to end the argument and return home.

Stevan is now speaking to the person who will marry Leonard and Arabella today. "Can we just start now, sir? It's getting late."

"Of course, sir. The most important thing is that the bride and groom are both ready," said the middle-aged man who was most respected by the local residents.

Everyone stared at Arabella and Leonard who were still in silence in their place.

Leonard, who initially only wanted to be sarcastic, actually died from a checkmate sentence from the man who was indeed very powerful. Because the company that was in danger of going bankrupt has been saved by Zaydan's father by buying shares in the company and in the end the largest shareholder is the family of his stepbrother's wife.

"Shit, again I can't move when dealing with descendants from the Brawijaya family," Leonard whispered with a sour face.

When he heard the voice of his stepbrother, his reflex made him stare grinning at the figure of a woman who looked so agitated that she was wringing her clothes.

"Of course, I've been very prepared, sir. Let's just do it now! My woman must have been ready earlier. Isn't that right, dear? Before you get pregnant with my child, I will be responsible for you!" Leonard winked and smirked.

Seeing Leonard's expression, of course it made Arabella feel nauseous and she intended to cancel her plan to agree to the marriage. However, the fingers with strong knuckles currently landed on his shoulders, making him even more wobbly and weak.

"Sit next to Leonard! Everyone has been waiting for a long time. They are all witnesses and will no longer think of you after tonight," said Zaydan who gently pushed Arabella's body to sit next to Leonard.

Meanwhile, Arabella, who couldn't think straight, just obeyed when the man she still loved so much gave orders.

"Everything will be fine, Arabella. Marrying this man is a stepping stone for you to find the man you love so much. Mr. Zaydan and Stevan are right. ask Mr. Zaydan's promise," Arabella whispered in her heart.

"Okay, I'm ready!" Very firmly, Arabella did not think twice because she wanted to immediately carry out her intentions.

Leonard, who was still wondering about what made Arabella readily agree, was even more curious.

"What made this cheap woman agree to this marriage? I have to know. Maybe my dear brother will tell later if I ask," muttered Leonard who was still busy wondering in his heart.

The voice of the person who was going to marry Arabella and Leonard began to echo in the living room. Of course, to explain about the marriage contract that will be carried out before ordering Leonard to say the marriage contract sentence.

Meanwhile, everyone just listened to the explanation. However, there was one of the men who had been standing behind Arabella's seat and not blinking at the silhouette behind her.

The man who was none other than Billy, was now observing the back of the woman he had only known all day and accompanied him to spend time forgetting his ex-lover. For some reason he felt unwilling and seemed to want to curse Arabella's stupidity, for agreeing to marry.

"You stupid woman! What's going on in this woman's brain exactly? How could she just want to marry a jerk like Leonard. At first glance, it's clear that he is a playboy who likes to play with women's feelings. Is it true, they were already make love? Then, why was he screaming for help?"

Various questions were on Billy's mind. However, he couldn't find an answer at all and only met a dead end, so he was silent when Leonard's loud voice echoed through the room.

Arabella was silent without speaking when she heard the man she hated so much answered the sentence of consent from the middle-aged man in front of her while shaking the head of the prince's hand tightly.

"The marriage that I dreamed of for a long time, was destroyed instantly after today and I sacrificed my whole life to get the man I love. Even I have no self-respect anymore after tonight. Because everyone thinks I'm just a cheap woman. God, help me deal with all of this," Dewi whispered, whose heart had been beating very fast when she heard the man next to her look very firm when she continued the sentence of the marriage contract.

"I accept the marriage of Arabella Balqis bint Adam with a dowry of one million rupiah, paid in cash!"

With one breath, Leonard uttered the words of consent in his firm and fluent voice. Of course he was the one who knew very well about Arabella who was an orphan and had no one else.

"How are the witnesses, legal?" asked the penghulu asked several witnesses who were nearby.

The witnesses who were none other than Zaydan, Stevan Billy and Vino, simultaneously answered questions from the penghulu.

"Legitimate!"

Leonard, who was still grinning, immediately gave his hand to the woman who was looking down on her face. "Shouldn't you kiss your husband's hand?"

Arabella, who at this time could no longer hold back the tears from her eyes when she heard the last sentence, namely the daughter of Adam, made her realize that she was alone in this world.

"My parents have even left me. How could I expect someone to expect me. Realize Arabella, you are just an unwanted orphan," Arabella whispered in her heart.

Leonard, feeling very annoyed that Arabella didn't respond at all, reflexively grabbed his pointed chin and pointed it in front of him.

"My wife, you are mute!" exclaimed Leonard who was a little surprised when he saw the face of the woman who was legally his wife was flooded with tears.

Arabella, who had not had time to wipe the clear beads on her cheeks, reflexively quickly wiped her tears and immediately threw Leonard's hand away. "I'm going to the bathroom first!"

Without waiting for Leonard's answer, Arabella hastily got up from the chair and immediately walked towards the back leaving everyone behind.

Meanwhile, Leonard who was feeling very curious, got up from his position and walked to catch up with Arabella after previously staring at everyone.

"It seems that my wife is very moved after this sacred moment. I want to comfort her. You can all disperse, because the matter has been resolved.
