William bent his face to hold back the annoyance and pain in his back due to Rose's actions while Rose smiled happily in her heart full of victory.
"Cruel girl!" William pouted annoyed.
"You just found out? I'm very cruel so stop chasing me and cancel our wedding plans." Rose said with an annoying smile.
"Will never!" William said firmly.
Hearing William Rose's answer could only narrow his eyes and hissed in annoyance.
Not long after, William's yacht slowly pulled up to a small harbor on an island that Rose didn't know about.
"Where are we?" Rose asked confused.
"On my private island. We're getting married here, today." William replied curtly, he was still annoyed with Rose.
"I can't get married without my parents."
"They've been here since yesterday."
Wow, a perfect conspiracy, Rose doesn't know how to avoid this marriage anymore.
"I haven't even chosen a wedding dress yet, you're not talking about the concept of what wedding I want? I'm still under contract with beauty products and I still can't get married while the contract lasts." Rose said arguing, whatever the reason even though it was a lie, Rose didn't care what was important was that she didn't marry William, especially considering what she did to William earlier, I don't know what would happen to their first night.
"You marked my back, now it's my turn to mark you." Oh, imagining William saying such a thing while carrying a belt to tie her in made Rose's hair goosebumps with fear.
"Oh my head is dizzy, looks like I'm still seasick," Rose said pretending, she even strengthened her words by making her body fall limp.
"Your acting is terrible, thank goodness you are a singer and not an actress because I can assure you that you will only end up being nothing." William's sneer that easily read Rose's play made Rose frown in annoyance.
William then reached out his hand to help Rose get off the Yacht while he had gotten off first.
"I can't marry you. I don't love you." Reject Rose.
"But my dear Rosie, the whole world only knows if you love me," William replied with a meaningful smile, he tilted his face, glancing at several people who were holding cameras in their hands.
Media sucks... Rose cursed in her heart and was forced to accept William's outstretched hand and surrendered when William carried her bridal style.
"It's useless having a private island if the media can still cover you." Sniff Rose.
"They are reporters from my family's media company."
"Overseas media? I'm not that famous." Said Rose who finally struggled to get William to put him down and William complied.
"I will send the recording to the media in the country where you are famous, babe," William said before walking away from Rose who was still grumbling in annoyance.
....
Rose deliberately slowed her pace, apart from the sandy beach, there was a path leading to a very majestic mansion behind a towering gate, shady trees, and a fountain with statues of ancient Roman gods.
Rose thought her father was very rich, but above the sky, there was still a sky. Was this why her parents liked William so much? Because he's extraordinarily rich?
Rose couldn't take her eyes off the sight that was so beautiful, like a castle in a fairy tale, it was beautiful but real.
"I understand now, why both my parents were crazy about you. You are a Treasure to them." Rose said without hesitation without fear that William would be offended, even if that was what she hoped William would be offended, and cancel their marriage.
"Treasure?" William repeated.
"That's right, Treasure, after this they will ask you a lot of things. You are just a source of money to them, don't mistake it if you are accepted." Rose answered, she was increasingly convinced that her method was very effective to make William offended but William laughed softly.
"For the first time, I don't regret being William Alexander."
"So my dear Rosie, I don't care what you say, you will still be my bride today." William continued as he took Rose's hand and slightly pulled her to walk with him.
.....
Although with a feeling of compulsion, Rose finally could only follow William's steps to the large door made of oak wood that formed a beautiful exotic carving.
"You didn't trick me, did you? Why is it so quiet here?" Rose asked curiously because she hadn't seen anyone other than the three reporters following them with cameras in their hands.
William didn't answer and just smiled faintly and then the door swung wide open.
You can see the shiny marble floor that is currently being treaded by dozens of people who are seen wearing luxurious dresses and expensive suits.
There is a very large chandelier above the center of the hall, and expensive and antique jars can be seen in every corner of the room which adds to the elegant impression.
"You're late, kid." Jane greeted as she stepped closer to William and Rose.
"The weather was pretty bad," William replied.
Jane smiled not because she understood William's reasoning but because one button on the dress that Rose was wearing was untied, it's clear if Jane interpreted it differently by smiling at Rose.
"Don't get me wrong, mom, it was raining hard." It was clear William understood just by looking at Jane's glance and seeing that one button of the dress Rose was wearing had disappeared.
"Well you better change your clothes and get ready, mom will take good care of my daughter-in-law."
Finally Rose found out who the beautiful woman had been talking to William for a long time.
Jane then took Rose with her to the main room with some of the leading fashion stylists and makeup artists that Jane had prepared especially for Rose.
"You take a shower, they'll take care of the rest. I'll be right back." Said Jane died Rose who still looks confused.
William said her parents were here yesterday but why didn't he see them? If the woman who introduced herself as Jane hadn't been gentle with her then she would have been intimidated to death by the looks of the beautiful women down there who were staring at her disapprovingly from the start.
It looks like these beautiful women are William's ex-girlfriends, you bastard, Rose cursed in her heart.
A maid then approached her and led her to the bathroom.
"I can shower myself," Rose said when she was through the bathroom door.
"You can't, madam ordered us to help you take a bath, miss." The waiter replied.
Private planes, yachts, private islands, mansions, and servants who are ready to serve anything, will she marry a Prince? Rose really couldn't understand all this and could only obey because she was also feeling very tired after a very long journey.
Meanwhile, in the other room, William had finished his shower, he was already wearing his white pants and getting ready to put on his white shirt when Jane came over.
"What's wrong with your back, son?" Jane asked worriedly at the red line on William's back.
"Rosie made it," William replied as he put on his shirt.
"What's a tattoo? It looks weird." Jane asked confused.
William then laughed softly and said, "This is the traditional way Rosie threw up and it makes me sick too." Said, William. "She's seasick." He added telling the story with a smiling face.
"Where's Mark?" William asked because he hadn't seen Mark and Jackson before but he didn't care about Jackson.
"Mark is looking at the garden behind the mansion." Answered Jane.
"I see Rose seems like a nice girl."
"Nice and annoying, there's a slight difference between mom and dad. You have no idea how fussy my Rosie is."
"My Rosie?" Jane repeated.
William realized that he shouldn't have named Rose after his own.
