The main hall in the east wing of the God Sanctum Cathedral had been booked exclusively by the Kikanasih TV Company. Inside, a muscular man wearing a three-piece white tuxedo waited impatiently. Despite the great size of the main hall, only a few people are allowed to enter. The President of Kikanasih TV has booked it for a private wedding ceremony, and only a few people were invited.
This wedding was held for the President to marry the daughter of the Mentari TV company. Since Mentari TV company has accumulated debt to Kikanasih TV company, they had to do something to fix the financial issues. This may sound cliche, but using women as an asset to repay the company debt is a normal thing in a business relationship. Thus leads to Eka and Rina marriage, marriage based on money instead of love.
In front of the party hall door, there's Eka looking at his watch impatiently while tapping his left foot on the shiny marble floor. Not long after his endless tapping on the floor, he felt a sudden tap on his shoulder. It was Rizky Sunardi, his best friend since high school.
Rizky's parents lead the largest toy company on Surabaya, Rizky is chosen as an heir to the company due to his cleverness and decisiveness in work. He may play around with girls, but he gets his job done when the company requires him to.
Similarly to Eka, their families have close relationships with each other and they both hang out to fool around, although mostly it's on Rizky though.
"Eka, how are you feeling about today's party?", his friend asks lightheartedly.
"Not necessarily interested but I want to check what kind of body she has", Eka smirked playfully.
His eyes flared up with excitement, plastered on his face; his boastful look could make any woman kneel below him like a slave. Eka was known as a playboy who could make any woman become his. His boastful attitude is supported by the fact that he's charming and assertive to his job.
He leads the company to success within four years, which is also the reason why he's in his white tuxedo now. His bride, Rina Suliwati is the daughter of the dignified Mentari TV Company. Because of Eka company influence in the mass, Mentari Group lost its daily viewers leading to the bankruptcy of the company.
Eka can't help but be curious about the woman he will be wed to. His friend, Rizky has been nagging him endlessly about the woman's physical feature from the start of the ceremony until now.
"So what do you think she will look like?"Rizky stared at the President of Kikanasih Group teasingly.
"No idea" Eka replied with a curious smile.
"But aren't you interested in exploring her cave?" Rizky smiled at his best friend naughtily.
Eka may be less playful and less womanizer than Rizky, but his strong demanding aura made plenty of women give their body to him voluntarily. His touch is as smooth as silk, however, when he's in stress he can treat his partner rougher and more sadistic.
"I may be interested, but that doesn't mean I will treat her nicely because of our partnership", Eka clenched his fist.
He's looking at his watch, waiting for his unknown bride to come inside the large-sized party hall. He's skeptical about the marriage, but he heard that the daughters of the Mentari Group have unprecedented skills in Directing any TV show.
This piqued Eka's interest in her future potential for his company. He was soon called by the event organizer to prepare himself on the wedding scaffolds.
"Mr. Eka the bride is still in the changing room, the ceremony will start in fifteen minutes. If you have anything else you want to-".
"No, I don't have anything else to do anyway. Let's just start the ceremony", Eka cut mid sentences.
That's when suddenly an unfamiliar woman came from outside the party hall, with the beautiful white dress she walked aimlessly inside the hall.
"Oh no she must have lost her way again, I will be back for more briefing Mr. Eka".
"Yes, leave me alone and help that poor woman back to her place", Eka sighed as he saw the clueless woman wandering around the party hall.
The event organizer bowed down and ran toward the lost bride in a hurry. However, since that bride's arrival he can't part his eyes from her. Her beautiful wide eyes, the brownish colors are alluring like the brownish he usually eats in his leisure time. Her body figure is like an hourglass, sexy and appetizing.
Her frilly raven hair attracts his attention and her sharp eyes are certainly something to look forward to. He smiles satisfyingly as he licked his finger seductively toward his soon to be wife. He can't wait to corrupt her whole being and etched her mind with his figure.

Rina Suliwati lost her way and ended up in the party hall by accident, she just wants to unnerve herself in the toilet but now she feels like she's just bothering everyone around her. She sighed as she looked around the unfamiliar party hall for signboards. She was surprised when the event organizer tapped her shoulder and told her to get back to the changing room.
"I'm so sorry I lost my way, can you lead the way? This place is bigger than I thought", Rina can only intertwine her fingers nervously.
"Yes, it's this way", the man led her to the changing room that is located at the far end of the hallway outside the party hall. She nodded and said thank you to the event organizer member when she entered the changing room she was welcomed by her classmates.
"Rina!! Happy Wedding! Congratulations", a woman in glasses hugged her affectionately.
Rina hugged her back affectionately, she didn't feel like letting the hug end. She knows that she won't be able to see her classmates, her best friends, and soon they will be out of her reach. Rina letting her arms go, involuntarily.
"Rina, be happy okay? Now you don't have to try so hard anymore on your own. He can help you with your mum's condition", a stylish auburn-haired woman spoke to Rina worriedly.
Rina wishes they knew the truth behind her marriage with the man. She despises the marriage, but she knows that her family owes them a lot of money. Her father lost his all remaining stocks, leading the company to poverty.
Moreover her mother is in a coma because of her severe leukemia. What's worse is her older sister never contacted her and ran away with a random man, and his father tried to rise from bankruptcy by selling random music CDs online.
She is the only supporter of her mum's critical condition, they barely have money to pay her medical expenses. She knows that the reason her mum is still alive was that her family is under the mercy of Kikanasih company President.
She has plenty of her classmates and friends who support her marriage, thinking that this life will lead her into a better life. On the contrary, for her this marriage feels like hell. She is married to an unknown person that led her dad company into bankruptcy.
"Rina?" another classmate of hers called her.
She snapped out of her reverie, she flashed a fake smile to convince her friends that she will be fine.
"You're right, I'm sure he's a great man who can help my family", Rina smiled reassuringly.
Her grades and popularity can't help her to get out of this situation, although she wishes she can get out though.
That's when the event organizer member came in and signaled her to be prepared. Rina nodded to the man who led her to the changing room. She looks at her classmates dearly, there are five of them. They shake Rina's hand, grateful for the rich groom who wants to propose to her. They didn't know the whole truth of the marriage, and she wishes it stays that way.
She got out of the changing room slowly, her body feeling sluggish as the EO member yelled hastily about today's event breakdown. For her, this marriage seems unreal and too fast. She feels overwhelmed and sad.
Her sorrows were shown clearly when she walked on the aisles to the party hall. One of the bridesmaids notices her sorrow and pat her back.
"Miss I don't understand what makes you sad right now, but if you're sad you can try to think of a pony", the short-haired woman replies in confidence.
Rina laughed slightly, she looked at the short-haired woman's raven eyes. Her eyes are straightforward and honest, she decided to ask her identity.
"What's your name?", Rina asked her.
"Vanny, I am the groom's nephew", she smiled cheerfully.
Her smile soon faded when she heard the words groom, she has yet to know her groom's face. Rina anxieties kick in and her fingers start to become fidgety as they draw close to the party hall doors.
As soon as the door opened, the audience was looking at her. She soon got embarrassed but then she shook her head bravely. She decided to conquer her fear and look forward to the wedding scaffold. She saw a man with a white tuxedo, looking at her as if she's his prey. His dashing face attracted her attention for the first time, not only that but his muscular build is distracting her. After walking closer to the scaffold she was pulled by the man's strong hand, her fair skin brushing his caramel skin by accident.
"You're too stiff", the man spoke huskily to Rina.
"I know", Rina replied seriously. "My bad".
Rina took a glance at the dashing man next to her, she wonders whether his father's decision will bring fruitful results for her family's financial state. But his gaze toward her is not the gaze of curiosity nor kindness, it's the gaze of a hunter looking at his prey. She only wishes that her bad feelings are only her imagination.
After the marriage oath, she is at a loss for words. The crowds are gathering around her, curious about the President's new wife. Some of them even touched without her consent, she couldn't help but yelp at the foreign touch. She glared at the person who just touched her back. It was a man she never knew before.He has handsome facial features, his grey colored suit brushed against her bare shoulder playfully.His eyes are lustful and shining with curiosity, his yellow pupils aimed toward her body figure. He smiled as he grabbed Rina's wrist."You're hot" he smiled.Rina pushed him harshly, scared of his lustful gaze toward her. Not long after what she did, a group of women gathered around her judging her."Oh, so you're President Eka's new wife? You're a sore eye!!"."What did you just do to President Rizky!? You're such an idiot!".The man she just pushed is a President? She thought horrifyingly.Sh
Rina opened her eyes the next day, only to see her tears have dried up and her eyes had swollen. She went out of her room, still tired because of crying herself until midnight. She realizes that there's a sandwich on top of the dining table. Nabila smiled at the discouraged Rina."Mistress I have prepared your breakfast", she bowed with a smile.She nodded to her and sat on the dining table, the sandwich tasted wonderful to the point Rina scarfed it down hungrily. Nabila told her that the young master isn't around so she recommended I take a detour around the condominium. She looked around the condominium curiously and found herself mesmerized by the large swimming pool on the balcony.Most of the house interior is white, in contrast to his usual stern look he seems to like the color that reflects gentleness. She traced her fingers to the dining room grey mahogany table, she soon walked to the balcony where the open swimming pool was located. Rina dipped one of
Rina is surprised by the president's sudden appearance, his caramel skin and tall muscular build made him stand out among the crowds. He came in with a handsome man she never met before. He's slim but well built, the man next to him clings to Eka affectionately. Rina came to wonder whether Eka swings that way as well."I only hope he didn't recognize me" Rina sighed."What's with that long sigh? You're letting your fortune slip away" Kevin rubbed her hair.Rina feels uncomfortable with the presence of that forceful man inside the Sweet Kiss Nightclub. She tries to hide herself by tying her hair in bun style. She added a tattoo sticker on her left cheek, not sure if it works out to camouflage herself though. Kevin only laughed at Rina panicked actions, he pinched his junior flustered face."Ouch!" Rina pouted."You're so cute Rina, I can glomp you" Kevin still pinching his cheek.Kevin can come off as quite affectionate and that made her cowo
"Aldi?" Rina looked at the familiar man who suddenly showed up out of nowhere.Eka looked at his wife's expression and smiled grimly. It seems like he loves the reaction his wife had right now. The expression of despair and loss, it's the first time he sees his wife this fragile because of meeting some low life commoner. Eka gazed toward the man behind the annoying woman, Aldi was it? Eka's smile grows sour as he sees how that commoner can affect his wife more than he did."This is so boring" Eka growled at the woman who dressed like a prostitute in front of him."How dare you! You left me behind! I am the daughter of Hills Company! My father will hear about this" the woman yelled at the cold president."Woman like you disinterest me, leave at once", Eka ordered the annoying woman who has been clinging on his arm like a hungry beast. The woman has been rubbing her meaty breast on Eka caramel skin, somewhat annoying the president. Eka looks at his wife whe
Surprisingly there's no news that mentioning Eka's secret affair with another woman, yesterday was a disaster. Eka found out Rina's secret job and reprimanded Kevin for involving his wife in a shabby nightclub. Fortunately, Kevin didn't bear any ill intention to the couple, Rina felt rather guilty for involving her coworker's though."If you want to work as a bartender, I can recommend you a good bar for you to work in", Eka said indifferently as he read the stacks of reports on his desk. Rina ignored her husband's words as she scrolled the touchpad in her laptop for a job vacancy she can join. She feels rather sad that her previous coworkers' got scorned by her husband, she had to repay their hospitality somehow."You're ignoring me, what a difficult woman" Eka sighed as she watched Rina's indifferent expression."You're the one who's being difficult" Rina closed her laptop harshly."Me? Why's that?" Eka asked coldly.Rina walked to Eka and slamme
Dear mum,Mum, how are you doing?I've been doing well in the Tanaya household! The president can be a little bit annoying though.Wait, no he's very annoying!I am so exhausted, dealing with my new husband's antics!I wonder if you still remember me? The doctor said your dementia is getting more severe.The next thing I know you might have already forgotten me as your daughter.Even so, I hope that your health improves mum.I would do anything to save you, mum. Dad is now selling DVDs and opened an online shop for figurines. I'm not sure that it will help your medical expenses, but I want to believe in dad. Even if he's already betrayed the company and gave our rights to the Kikanasih Company.I heard that Eka staff has been taking care of you in an overseas hospital. I'm so grateful for Eka's help, despite his annoying attitude. Indone

In a certain mansion, at night..."Mum can you read me another bedtime story?", a little boy tiptoed to a guest bedroom in the manor. The guest bedroom is the place where the little boy mum usually knitted. He knocked the door gently, but then the door opened on its own. It is very unusual for the little boy mum to leave the door open since she's a very private person, to begin with."Mum?", the little boy asked.He entered the room only to see the usual white carpeted floor turn into bloody red. The room reeks of rotten flesh and the boy rubbed his nose annoyed by the rotten smell. He walked and then saw a familiar person hung up into the air. That person was his beloved mother, her face was putrid and pale. He looked toward the ceiling and noticed that a jointed blanket was tied to the ceiling platform, formed like a rope.The little boy's mother's neck was hung up with that blanket, with a fallen ch
