Marriage and Annulment

“It was an unexpected problem of mine.” My response.

“Why? What happened? ” Arthur asked in a worried tone.

“Have a seat, but come here first. I’ll show you something. ” I told him.

And I showed him the CCTV footage that happened earlier. I want to show him the woman’s face.

“What did they do?” Arthur asked.

“They came here claiming that they are Daddy’s second family, and they want to get some money, or the company and everything my father left me. I don’t believe it and I really don’t want to believe it. Are they really going to show up now? So I want you to investigate them,” I said.

“Of course,” he replied.

I paused the video and Arthur got the picture.Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

“I have to go. I still have a date today.” he said to me, winking at once.

“Really, wait! To whom? ” I asked him, as if we were close.

“It’s a secret for now. When we’re official, I’ll take her here to introduce to you. So you should also look for a boyfriend. You’re not getting any younger, so find him, ” he said to me, and went out.

I’m frowning. So I thought of going home to the mansion first to rest. I got up to go out, then Randolf came in.

“Where are you going, Miss?” he asked me.

“I’ll go home to the mansion first. I want to sleep. Is that okay with you? ”

“Go ahead, Miss. I’m fine. ”

“Thank you!”

I got out and got into the car. It’s a good thing Lucio hasn’t parked the car in the company’s parking lot yet.

“Where will I take you, ma’am?”

“In the mansion, Lucio,” was my answer.

He had already operated the car. It was also about half an hour away when we arrived at the mansion due to traffic. I saw my car outside the mansion. Lucianna and the other girls are sure to arrive.

“Thank you, Lucio,” I said, then gave him money for more snacks.

“What’s this for, ma’am?” he asked me.

“That’s for you. Buy snacks,” I said.

“It’s too much.”

“Hmmm, keep the change,” I said.

“Thank you, ma’am.”

“Okay.”

I entered the mansion. And I heard them laughing in the back of the house, and I knew they were on the edge of the pool. I went to them first. I just saw you all doing this by the pool. Ever since you lived here at home,

“Are you too busy?” I asked. They all laughed.

“We don’t feel it, Miss, yet,” Genie replied.

“How was your urgent meeting?” Lucianna asked me.

I sat down first.

“It’s okay, please take my bag into the room first, please Lucianna.” I said.

Lucianna stood up and took my bag.

“Girls, order pizza, cake, and ice cream.” I commanded them.

“A few boxes of pizza, Miss?” Laica asked.

“No matter how much. And three buckets of beer as well. Let’s have a drink, ” I said.

When I looked at them, they were all stunned to see me.

“Is it your birthday today, Miss? Or do you just have a problem? ” Hannah asked.

My answer was, “It’s not yet my birthday, but there’s a problem.”

“All right, Lucy and I are leaving,” said Laica.

It’s okay to have a drink today because it’s still early in the morning. It looks like I’ll be able to sleep early now. I noticed earlier that Lucianna was looking at me, as well as Genie, Lazzy, and the rest of the girls.

“Are you really okay, Miss?” Glaiza asked.

“Yes, don’t worry. Because it’s normal to have a problem,” my answer.

They all nodded. An hour later, Hannah and Lucy arrived, carrying their purchases. Along with a man carrying a bucket of beer.

“Get some ice first. Put more in the container.” I command them.

After the driver left, I started eating pizza. I also opened a beer and sipped it.

“Take it easy, Miss, you seem to have become greedy for that wine,” said Lucianna to me.

“This is the first time that I drank this kind of alcohol. The bitterness in the throat was something,” I said.

They all laughed.

“So, we’re going to talk about your problem, Miss, just to alleviate how you’re feeling right now. You don’t have to get drunk.” said Laica.

“All right, so I came home here first because someone was looking for me. A woman and her two children,” my answer.

“Who are they? Your family?” Lucianna asked.

“Nope, they’re claiming that they are my daddy’s second family. I was shocked to the extent that I seemed to want to hide,” I said.

“Like that? How did that happen?” Lucy asked.

“I don’t know, Lucy. Her courage to claim the wealth for her children because they are also my daddy’s children. I was scared. What is it true? Because I know and I see that woman is savage. She claims what she doesn’t own. I don’t want this mansion to go to them. In this house we all formed a friendship,” I said.

“Yes, Miss, but if it’s true, we’re leaving here. We don’t want to be with that woman just in case,” said Lazzy.

I laughed.

“So I found a way, so that all of you don’t have to bother. Since this is my problem and I’m the only one involved,” I said.

“Yeah, we should all just enjoy it. Cheers! ”

We all shouted, and we gathered our glasses and glued them together.

“What does the man look like, Miss?” Laica asked.

My eyes rolled.

“Seriously, Laica? Is that really what you’re going to ask? ” I said.

Laica laughed. Maybe you saw a resemblance or something to prove that they are your brother or your daddy, “he says.

“The eldest is 24 years old. Handsome and muscular. The second is five years old. Beautiful. You can’t prove that you’re related to someone if you’ve only seen it now in resemblance or something, unless you have DNA. That’s my suggestion to your mother. But the bravery of that woman is overflowing. She said she didn’t want to agree because she had evidence, ” I said.

“Maybe she is scared to find out she’s lying? That’s the modus operandi of someone who has nothing in life, “said Hera.

“You’ve got a point, Hera, but it’s okay if she can ask me for help or something. I’ll help them. She’s not the one who makes up stories to cheat people. She’s just tarnishing my daddy’s good image, ” I said.

“Yes, you’re really right there, Miss.” Lucianna replied.

“Hmmm, all of you already drunk?” I asked.

“We don’t drink too much, Miss. We just love disco, but we don’t really drink too much. But since it’s problematic, we all drink.

“Thank you, guys, but for me, two bottles is fine. I want to sleep. The drink is for the night only. But we had already started at ten in the morning,” I said.

We all laughed.

I am here right now at the library to borrow a book that I am going to use. Vienna and I were together, but not everything was the same. She ignored me as if she couldn’t see me. But I got the courage to talk to her.

“Hi, Vienna! Did you borrow something from the library too?” I asked her.

But I was suddenly embarrassed because she ignored me. She just kept walking until she disappeared from my sight. But I followed her. I couldn’t be bothered until I knew what her problem was with me.

“Wait, Vienna, let’s be clear. What’s wrong with you? Are you mad at me? But why? ” I asked her.

She laughed.

“You’re assuming too much, Zander. I’m not in the mood to notice you. Even in our co-teachers, so there’s no reason for you to ask me that. ” Veinna replied, and she left me standing in the hallway.

So I did nothing but go back to my classroom. I’d rather just check the modules than notice Vienna’s problems. I was so engrossed in what I was doing that I didn’t realize that my co-teacher, Maya, was already standing at the door.

“Hi, ma’am, how long have you been there ?” I asked her.

She just smiled at me.

“Yes, but you’re too busy and bent over, so I didn’t speak. May I come in? ”

“Sure,” was my answer.

Maya was happily married with two kids. So it’s off-limits and I don’t like to talk to them if it’s not about work. Duke, Vienna, and I are the only ones who haven’t gotten married yet, but the rest already have children.

“What can I do for you? I’m changing because you just found yourself in my class room.” I said while smiling.

“Yes, because I would have borrowed something from you,” Maya replied.

“What’s that?”

“Laptop, I left mine at home. I had something to do. You are always carrying a laptop, ” she says.

“Sure, I’m not going to use a laptop right now. I’m just checking some modules. ” I said, once handing her the laptop.

“Thank you, and by the way, congratulations,” she told me with a sweet smile.

“For what?”

“For having a girlfriend. We’re so happy because, finally, our most handsome co-teacher was happily in love with his new-found love. ” Maya said, cheerfully.

“Aw, thank you. How did you know?” I asked.

“Because Duke said so, you know that man is very talkative. He has a lot of news every day. But someone is hurting, “said Maya.

“Excuse me?”

“I have no right to tell you. She might say I’m interfering.” Maya said.

“We’re the only ones here, Maya. I want to know,” I said.

“All right, It was Vienna. She was crying when she found out you had a girlfriend. Maybe you don’t notice it because you’re too busy and dedicated to work. But believe me, she loves you so much. I hope you didn’t confront her. And ask something since you already know and you have no intention of loving her. And let her be silent first, because it really hurts when loving someone who can’t love you back.” said Maya, once outside of the class room. I was left stunned.

So Duke was right in what he thought. So Vienna ignores me now because of Mitch. I shook my head.

“Hey, are you okay? Why do you look so stunned there? ” Duke asked me.

I didn’t even realize that Duke had entered my class room.

“Nothing. What do you need? ” I asked him.

“Let’s have lunch. I’ve been hungry for a while, “he replied.

“What time is it?” I asked.

“That time is no longer important. Any time you’re hungry, you need to eat. ” Duke’s complaint.

“Why don’t you just go straight out? You always think of coming here? ” I asked him.

“I’m not with anyone.” Duke nodded.

“You never used to be like that. Are you going to die tomorrow? Why do you seem to want to be with me first before you disappear? ”

“Shut up! You’re talking too much. Let’s go,” said Duke, and he walked out of my class room first. I followed him eventually.

“Why do you want to take me with you to your meal at the carinderia? We have many other companions. You can invite them, “my complaint.

“Are you thinking, Zander? They are all women and married. What will their husbands think? Even on my side, I would be really angry if my wife invited another man to join her for dinner,” Duke replied.

“I’m not telling you, you should invite one of them to lunch or something, Bastard! All of them, so you won’t be thought of badly, ” I said.

“Whatever, you’re talking too much. Are you on a diet, so do you complain when I invite you to eat early? It won’t add to your good looks. That’s all you really look like, “said Duke.

I’m frowning. The fool isn’t really joking.

“Dumbass!” He just laughed and went inside the dining room.
