Chapter 18: Diary entries of 17 April 20xx
ALEX
I know it might sound out of ordinary for a girl to be offered to swap places as a bride. Even for the groom who is originally supposed to be her own new older brother-in-law.
I was expected she might act surprised or maybe pretending to hesitate but not like this. Been rejected so harshly. In my entire life, I was so sick when people around me gushing about my appearance. But yesterday, her reaction truly making me weirdly sad somehow.
Her reaction is a way more hostile from what I assume. Like I am good for nothing scumbag. Is it because she thinks I betray her sister? Well, if I put in my myself in her shoe, the way she accused me as the irresponsible bastard who impregnates her big sister is quite logic with this kind of rush wedding.
However, that kind of logic hardly can't be applied here. I never slept with Gieanne in the first place. And we did kiss but only once. And that also been requested by Gieanne herself before she agrees with my proposal. I will be crazy to admit that in front of her because there is a high chance she will use it against me not going along with our plan.
I wonder if her reaction can be considered a normal girl. No. No longer a girl. She is a young woman since yesterday and a wife. My young wife. I can hardly believe myself even now that I have my own family now. A family I never have before.
Master Ji, even he is my benefactor since I was young and practically has been raised by him and his family. But I never feel that I belonged there. Malina is my family. This sentence sound so weird to my ears when I said it aloud during my first argument with Marshall as a father-in-law.
Despite not like it even a bit about Marshall's decisions regarding Malina about her life after married, but still, I can understand his reasoning behind it. This might be sound very unfair to Malina but it also might be the best solution since he knew the best about Malina.
And I respect his wishes to make her enjoy as normal as possible despite her unusual circumstances. Since three of us share the same sentiments about Malina well-being. I decided to follow his advice and thus changing many plans regarding our future married life.
And I know I was lucky to have Edward in my life. My best assistant who also one among a few people I can trust. Even though he rarely speaks and wearing stoic expression all the time since we were kids, he knew where my interest lay.
Because of his quick thinking, he gives me his outstanding performance once again when he handed out a prenuptial agreement to Malina on the right moment, helping me blocking any exit for Malina from escaping this marriage.
Even though I use dirty tricks in coercing her to agree to marry me by using time limit for her to decide and betting her loyalty towards her family, I don't regret it even slightest as long my goals are accomplished. And now I have her.
Gieanne disappearing on our wedding day doesn't surprise me even a bit. She made her choice and she made me choose too.
And I choose Malina.
I'm glad she choose me...
