Asher's POV"What the hell did you just said?" I said, surprised.We're gathering around his study room for a good reason, I guess so? Grayson came back from his so peaceful vacation, and how do I say it's peaceful? I wasn't there and he intentionally not mentioned to us he's living to have a quick vacation with Erika. "He proposed to Erika, get it?" Nicholas annoyingly answered. "Was it part of your freaking plans? Marrying that woman wasn't even part of it, and that is not what I signed for," I replied to Grayson. "It's too late, Asher. It is already part of our plan."I'm not against of that wedding stuff, but we know what is the real reason of this deal thingy. Maybe I miss something exciting because of my busy life or maybe he just didn't tell us, that's probably one of the reason. However, this wedding might hurt her. I'm not even concern to Erika's feelings but was she deserve to experience this? "Stop thinking negative things, Asher. I am shocked to my decision and propos

Nicholas's POV"Thank you, sir!" The delivery rider muttered after signing the papers for Grayson. I took the bunch of roses inside the house and then seated on the chair after reaching the living room. He assigned me to this unusual assignment and my gut telling me it doesn't suits me, although I had no choice but to obey him. What I'm thinking is, why he need to purchase such huge amount of flowers? There is someone who is in charge to this, not me. "What's those flowers for?" Asher asked me. "No idea. He just told me to received the delivery," I muttered. "When did he become so sweet? Besides, Grayson's planning to held their wedding on the beach which I highly doubt or maybe that is Erika's favor?"I shrugged, "Who knows about their plans? And I'm not interested, even though they'll tell us. They are not required to tell me."Asher seated on the opposite couch and throw all the roses away, he seem allergy with that but he's just annoyed because Grayson change his plans. I'm n

I used to see you wearing a blue polo, but the darkest one and also black and red. In my surprised, you wore a yellow one? That is quite shocking," Erika muttered. "Well, my clothes is in the laundry and I don't want to make you wait longer. That's why I wear this to save the night," I answered and looked at my shirt, "Why? Was it look ugly?"She shook her head as response, "Nope. You looked good, actually. Bright colors suits you very well, do wear it sometimes maybe I'll completely forgot my soon to be husband is a deadly mafia."I chuckled, "Have you order?""Uh, yes. Their best selling is grilled steak with the smokiness of seasonings
One Day Before The WeddingGrayson's POVThe study room's door opened and Asher went in. I didn't summon him, that's why I'm confused why he disturbed me without even knocking in to the door. His smirked remained, and it annoy me so much. He is very annoying whenever he's smirking like a fool man."Why the hell are you here?" I questioned. "Tomorrow is your big day, remember?" He said."So what? There's nothing special on it.""It have, Grayson. Don't ruin the surprised," Asher answered. "Don't tell me this is one of your stupid ideas?

They here to help me get ready while everyone's waiting until the ceremony start. I glanced at the mirror just to see if I'm beautiful enough to exposed myself. Grandma went inside and I look at her through the mirror, she approach me with a smile on her face. I couldn't imagine she'll help us prepared everything without even questioning us. She put the bridal veil into my head and look at me from the mirror, she's happy I can sense that. "You are really beautiful like your mother, Erika..." "Thank you grandma... Thank you for coming here...""No worries, my daughter. I'll be there for you if he hurt you, I'll scold Grayson if he dare harming you."I chuckled, "He would never do that, grandma. Gray prove me whatever mista
Erika's POVAfter the ceremony we held a simple celebration in the same location where our wedding held, and all I can say is everyone was happy for our special day. Although Grayson suddenly excuse himself and left me by myself here, dealing with the guests myself. I don't know where he go, but I think it's important.That's why I didn't asked and let him go, and then I suddenly felt lonely while trying to smile to tons of guests here. I don't want them to think we already having a misunderstanding after wedding since it's just an hour ago when we become one."What's up, Erika! Happy wedding!" Asher gave me a glass of wine and also a huge box, which I didn't expect him to bring any gifts. "Thanks, Asher...""You seem not happy, is my gift not huge enough? I can replace it with more enormous gift," he stated."Oh, no. It's huge enough for me, so no need for you to replace it. By any chance, did you see Grayson? I don't know where he went," I muttered. "Wait, don't tell me he left yo

She probably cursing me for being so reckless. "Your home..." She murmured. "Listen—" she cut me out."Don't worry about it, I'm fine... As long as you are home and safe, I'm fine with that.""Let me explain, Eri
