CHAPTER 2

Everyone is looking towards Vienna, including Alicia

"Thanks dad and thanks mom on the honesty of your heart, after this I promise will be more enthusiasm and strong again facing the world," said Alicia ventured to go to vote.

She looked at her father and mother-in-law alternately with a sweet smile as if she had just received a compliment.

"Good night everyone" she continued, then got up from her seat and left the family room, more precisely the intimidation room over her.

Alicia was fed up with the fact that one was a 'seductive girl' who didn't even know the real storyline. But let her mother also has left her alone without any evidence. She didn't even know what his biological mother looked like, and she didn't even have a photo.

"You are strong Elis you are strong, this is nothing Elis, more terrible circumstances are not for you."

Elis' monologue encouraged herself, but her lips still trembled to hold back her crying. Her eyes were blurry because of the tears that were blocking her eyelids for a split second, and then her tears just fell from her pitch-black round eyes, which could no longer hold back her tears. Her fate was tragic to get out of the tiger's cage but trapped in the lion's cage. Not wanting to drown in her sadness, she chose to sleep better. There is still tomorrow that will greet her. Who knows what the problem is, but she is ready to face it.

Alicia entered the room, went to the closet to find a blanket, and took a pillow to sleep on the sofa. Yes, she slept on the sofa because she knew enough about her status as just a ride, so she would try not to disturb or disturb the comfort of others because of her presence.

It didn't take long for Alicia to sleep peacefully on the sofa, even though it was a bit narrow, but the sofa was soft and comfortable for her rather than sleeping on the floor.

Not long after Daniel entered the room, his gaze swept through the room looking for something, and his eyes stopped on a sofa where there was a mound completely covered in blankets there that resembled a giant cocoon.

Daniel stepped slowly closer. After arriving at the sofa with one pull, the blanket slipped from Alicia's body and managed to make Alicia jump in surprise and then fall to the floor. Her elbow hit the edge of the glass table until fresh blood gushed out of it, and his buttocks hurt from the sudden impact on the floor.

"Awww" she screamed because he was shocked because of the pain.

Daniel looked at him flatly, and he didn't care about Alicia's pain.

"What do you want?" After neutralizing her emotions, Alicia looked up at Daniel's eyes

"How dare you look at me with that look huh?!" Daniel snapped tightly, gripping Alicia's jaw until Alicia's lips parted, and stepped forward

Alicia gasped. She was shaking, and she was afraid to see Daniel with his preying eyes. All she could do was avert her eyes, avoiding Daniel's eyes.

"Sorry," she squeaked.

Again, the words she never missed every day. Every day she is always wrong even though she doesn't know what she did wrong.

Daniel slapped his hand roughly from Alicia's face until the back of Alicia's head hit the forearm on the edge of the sofa.

Daniel stepped towards the nightstand and took the brown folder there, then he turned back to the sofa and threw the folder there.

"Read and understand," he hissed. he threw his ass on the sofa and crossed his chest.

Alicia grabbed the folder and opened it with some trepidation.

It was a letter of agreement that she signed this morning before officially becoming Daniel's wife. About a few sheets, she began to read it

**marriage agreement

First party = Daniel Prasetio

Second party = Alicia Adara Dinata**

first sheet

1. the first party is a mandatory rule for the second party

2. the first party is a mandatory rule for the second party

number 3 to number 15

15. the first party is a mandatory rule for the second party

*what the hell? With the same sentence, just a different number* Alicia thought confusedly. She turned to Daniel, asking for an explanation, but what she stared at did not give any response. Alicia just sighed softly. She had no other choice but to continue reading the contents of the agreement.

second sheet

the second party is obliged to carry out the rules of the first party

2 to number 15

15. The second party is obliged to carry out the rules of the first party

*Again?* she thought again, glancing at Daniel, who was sitting quietly on the sofa.

At this time, Alicia was still sitting on the floor. Luckily, there was a thick and silky fur carpet so that her buttocks didn't get cold against the marble floor. Alicia continued to read even though she already knew that the essence of the agreement was only one, but the words were changed

3rd sheet

1. the first party does not accept any form of rejection from the second party

2 to 15 (same sentence)

Even though she was lazy, Alicia continued because someone's eyes were watching her.

4th sheet

1. the second party will not refuse any rules from the first party (up to number 15)

even she no longer reads number 2 to number 14. She will only read number 1 and go straight to number 15, yet the content remains the same

5th sheet

1. the first party is obliged to arrange anything about the second party

15. The first party is obliged to arrange anything regarding the second party

Alicia took a deep breath then put the agreement sheet back into the folder

"Already? Very slow! just reading that much sheet until it takes a few seconds it should be 2 seconds right" he exclaimed mockingly

Alicia pursed her lips. This kind of thing was no longer effective in hurting her pride. After closing the folder, Alicia straightened up again to hear what Daniel would say next. There was a long silence between the two of them until Daniel's whistle made Alicia turn to him

Their eyes met each other, locked each other's eyeballs. It didn't last long because Daniel leaned his chin on the sofa, implying Alicia to get up and sit there.

Alicia glanced at the sofa, she understood what Daniel meant, but she didn't budge because again, she knew that she didn't deserve to sit next to her husband, so she was still sitting quietly on the floor carpet.

"It's slow, it's still slow," he sneered because Alicia didn't move at all. He thought Alicia didn't understand what he meant

"I know my position, that's why I stay in place," she said indifferently

"Tch," Daniel squeaked, hearing that

*You idiot* Daniel thought, glancing at Alicia, scanning from head to toe

"Good, so?" he said as if asking for an explanation

Alicia was confused. She waited to accept the next rule, but why was she the one who was asked for an explanation. She blinked, trying to figure out what her husband meant. She is not sure, but she will still talk

"Master's orders I will carry out no matter what," she explained firmly, but there were many doubts in his heart

"Good" Daniel immediately stood up and stepped into the dressing room

Alicia sighed harshly, and maybe it was her destiny to be a servant no matter where she came from. She will only add more patience to living as a wife instead of just a servant. Passion for her

Bugh

A shirt perched on her head.

Alicia gasped in surprise because suddenly an object hit her head and the culprit was none other than the husband.

"Prepare my nightgown idiot!" Daniel exclaimed with bulging eyes and managed to make Alicia run wildly to the dressing room

"You sluggish," he cursed as Alicia passed his body.
