Semua Bab Imperfect Marriage : A Billionaire Love Scandal: Bab 1 - Bab 10

At a fancy hotel ballroom, a luxurious wedding party was in full swing. The Walters extended family was visibly joyous, completely immersed in the festive atmosphere. The invited guests, mostly prominent businesspeople, took turns congratulating Darwin Walters, who was ending his bachelor days by marrying Veronica Ashborne tonight.Meanwhile, at a guest table, a woman sat staring at the couple with a deeply hurt expression. She was Vivian, a beautiful woman who had previously been in a relationship with Darwin Walters.They had been together for over two years, even enduring a long-distance relationship when Darwin was sent to manage a company in South Korea by his parents. Their hopes and dreams of building a life together suddenly shattered when Darwin was arranged to marry someone else by his father's choice. This was deliberately done to rescue the Infinix Group, a strong presence in the mining sector, from the threat of bankruptcy due to an ongoing crisis.It remained unclear whe

Darwin really never imagined he'd end up arranged like this. He had sweet plans to marry Vivian, his girlfriend, right on her birthday.But, well.Fate seemed to have a different idea for Darwin. His father, Magnus Walters, ended up arranging and pushing him to marry the daughter of his friend and business partner as soon as possible.Darwin, of course, couldn't refuse. Not only for business reasons, but also because he was raised to be obedient to his parents' every command since he was a child. Ironical, right? While others could freely choose and live their own lives, Darwin had to comply with whatever his parents wanted, including this plan to honeymoon with Veronica."Papa has even scheduled your honeymoon. You can take your wife after the reception," Magnus told Darwin, one day before the party."Isn't this a bit much, Dad?"Magnus shook his head."What do you mean, too much? Aren't married couples supposed to go on a honeymoon after getting married?""Maybe that's normal for re

Darwin massaged his tense neck. Just a few minutes ago, he had just finished attending a meeting with several members of the board of directors.He had just leaned back in his chair when the room door knocked. As he looked up, he found Kennedy and Randy walking towards him, carrying a medium-sized box of unknown contents."You guys rarely stop by without giving a heads-up first," Darwin remarked as both of his cousins pulled chairs in front of him. Kennedy handed over the box she was carrying first before taking her seat."No time, Win. Just finished the meeting, and I was rushed to deliver this to you," the man explained, pointing to the box he had just handed over.Darwin's brow furrowed. Straightening up, he moved the box on the table closer to him, intending to check its contents himself."What is this?""It's a black forest cake," Kennedy responded. She sat down casually, folding her hands in front of her chest. "Luna made it. I told her that you really love black forest cake. It

Once Darwin stepped out of the room, Veronica immediately walked briskly to her own room. She locked the door tightly while clutching her chest, which was heaving from her rapid heartbeat.This was the first time, after a month of marriage, that she had shown such courage. Veronica had even tried to respond to almost every word spoken by her husband.Growing up with love and care, pampered as an only child, Veronica had never experienced harshness or cruelty from others. Despite coming from an esteemed family and having everything, her parents had never taught her to belittle others or behave rudely.However, recalling Deasy's words, Veronica thought that she shouldn't be too weak or submissive, allowing her self-esteem to be trampled upon. After all, she wasn't at fault here. Her marriage to Darwin was a purely arranged one that couldn't be avoided. That's why Darwin had no right to use her as an outlet for his frustrations.Meanwhile, in his room, Darwin appeared very angry. He had

"Sir, if you take a closer look, our company's sales graph is steadily rising and stabilizing over time. I'm optimistic that within less than a year, everything could bounce back to the way it was before or even surge higher than it is now."Darwin appeared to be attentively listening as the project manager and a few expert staff members presented their work results one by one in today's important meeting. All of them provided positive reports that made Darwin feel increasingly satisfied.In reality, the Infinix Group has been in a stable and normal state since Damian Ashborne extended a helping hand to Magnus. However, Darwin wants his father's company to continue progressing and ideally experience rapid growth.This is in order to swiftly repay all the money and assistance Damian provided, so the Infinix Group wouldn't be considered indebted. That way, he could end his marriage with Veronica as soon as possible without any burden."Well then, keep pushing for further development. Don
