2. Broken Heart

While Javior and the others were talking. They didn't realize that the substitute bride they mentioned had overheard all of their conversation.

Her face was full of tears. He never thought that his father would do it. Especially his girlfriend. The man she thought would be her friend in old age turned out to be part of the plan.

Not done with the surprise yet. She even finally found out that the man had become her stepsister's lover. It's really a terrible reality for him. Now starting to realize that love can not beat wealth.

Running to her room, Ainayya Hikari Salvina, the daughter not considered in the Cannor family, burst into tears. His heart ached. From an early age, he had to be forced into adulthood. Withhold any action. Whether it's violence or even insults. Nayya has been through all of this.

"Mother now, Nayya, what should I do? Nayya is really hurt. Why is there no one who loves Nayya, Mother?"

She is still very young and now she must marry a man she does not know. Living with a man who his father said was ugly made him even more afraid.

Not afraid because of the man's form, but afraid if the man can't accept it. It could be that a man she doesn't know will kill her or even sell her to another man like the stories she often reads from online novels. Nayya became more and more afraid.

He wanted to run away. But where? He didn't have anyone he could call a friend. He just doesn't have friends.

"Wear this dress."

The speech was accompanied by a dress that is quite sexy. Not suitable to be called a wedding dress. He threw it so hard that it hit him in the face.

"I don't want to. I'm still very young and don't deserve to be married," Nayya complained.

Instead of pity, Vina even laughed out loud. He didn't expect that the woman he hated so much had overheard their conversation.

But that's not a bad thing. At least before Nayya left, he could see with satisfaction Nayya's suffering face

"Seems like you already know. But it's very good. Honey, come on in. Look at the suffering face of your ex-lover," said Vina while calling Lionel.

Leonal who was hiding behind the door of Nayya's room immediately went inside. He even hugged Vina's waist. Giving a kiss on the lips made Nayya sobbing even more.

He's hurt. His heart became very sick because of Leonal's actions.

"Why are you guys so mean to me? What have I done to make you hurt me so heartily?" asked Nayya.

"You are innocent. But your fate is wrong. If only you were born into a rich family I might not have doubled you. But if that was the case I didn't meet Vina. The point is that I only use you as a servant without being paid so that I can become the man of Vina's dreams. My love for Vina is so great that I am willing to have a relationship with a woman like you." Lionel spoke so cruelly in front of Nayya.

It was like a very sharp knife was stabbing Nayya's heart. In fact, it was more painful than the scratching of a knife on his body or the pain of the beatings that his father and stepmother often gave him.

"Does my sincere love mean nothing to you, Brother? Do I only deserve to be a tool to be used."

"Smart girl."

Instead of feeling guilty, Leonal was happier. Even saying very hurtful things to Nayya. But encouraging for Vina.

"Brother, evil."

A slap suddenly floated on Nayya's cheek. Vina who doesn't like Nayya's words about her lover immediately hits Nayya as she often does whenever she gets annoyed with Nayya.

"It's a shame you shouldn't have done that. If your future husband sees it, are you willing to take responsibility?" said and asked Lionel with a disgusted look at Nayya.

Vina wakes up. He even started to regret having slapped Nayya. He should have endured it. Not like now. Surely his father and mother would be annoyed with him.

"I'm sorry. It's all because he insulted you, honey."

"I know, but what are we supposed to do now? I told you to hold back, but still you didn't." Leona is not angry. He just didn't want their plan to fail because of Vina's actions.

Nayya who witnessed the incident saw that Loenal's face was completely fine when Vina hit him.

Now Nayya is starting to realize that she is really worthless, so what else can she do now. Everything would be so pointless now.

"I'll hide it with make up. Wait here."

When Vina went to get make up, leaving Nayya and Leonal. The two of them remained silent, but it didn't last long as Leonal spoke. But his talk made Nayya even more hurt.

"I know that you love me very much. So if you really want to stay with me, then you can save my number and call me when you're married to that man. I don't mind making you a mistress, you're quite beautiful after all. And I'm curious what it's like it feels good to enjoy your smooth body."

Does being a woman seem to only be abused, is considered meaningless and even seems like a woman who shouldn't be happy.

"Don't act like you're valuable. You're just a woman with no identity. What man would marry a woman like you."

"What are you talking about?" Javior asked suddenly entering.

Javior's presence took Leonal by surprise. Fortunately the man did not have time to hear her words. If only that happened maybe his relationship with Vina would be even more difficult.

"I just gave Nayya the understanding that I can't continue our relationship and choose Vina, Dad!"

Javiro nodded in understanding, then his eyes widened when he saw Nayya's blue cheeks. Didn't expect it to be like this. How could his plan work if there was a trace of violence on his face.

"Why is your face turning blue like that!! Did you do it on purpose so as not to become a surrogate bride for my daughter?!" snapped Javior.

Tears that had dried up suddenly flowed again. His heart hurt again. Does he not deserve to be a child? Can he not get the affection that Vina feels? Is it only Vina who deserves a warm hug from her father? Nayya is really hurt.

"It was Vina who did it, father!"

"Don't ever call me daddy. You're not my daughter. I should have killed you or sold you to an old man. How dare you accuse my daughter!" snapped Javior.

What is Javior's heart made of? How could he say such hurtful things. What his mother's sacrifice did not imprint on the man's memory.

"Can't you just let Nayya call that name once? Nayya just wants to get a confession from Dad, even if it's just a play and for one day."

Not excited or sad. Javior even adds to the wound on Nayya's cheek. His hand easily left a mark in the same place adding to the stinging feeling on his face. Even blood was now dripping from the corner of his lips.

"Now you should know that I never considered you my son. Even I was disgusted when I heard it. So you must tell your husband that all this is because of your fault not my beloved daughter's fault."

Again, Javior's favorite daughter's words add to the wounds that may never heal. Nayya will never be able to forget it and will never be able to recover from that wound.

"Fine, thank you. I'll definitely remember it, Mr Javior! Sorry if I was expecting too much. Then I want to thank you very much for giving me the room to stay. Thank you for giving me the chance to live. I will remember this kindness. Good-bye, Mr. Javior. Good-bye, Mr. Leonal. And farewell to Mrs. Lia and the esteemed Miss Vina."
