Contract Marriage At Penthouse
A Test

Achilles Places, June 02 at 13:00

That afternoon a German luxury car shot onto the highway leaving the luxury Achilles Palaces residence. The car seemed to have just stepped on the streets of this city for the first time. The car driver must not be an ordinary person because this car is limited edition. Sure enough, this car driver turned out to be the owner of the luxury residence, also the largest shareholder and president of Armor Group company, Arran Xavier. The status is now no longer single, a woman from a distinguished family has been betrothed to him. Today was the first day the woman set foot in Achilles Palaces. She is currently the Madam of Griya Tawang's owner, Hera Xavier. Everyone dreams so much of his current position. How not, being a wife of the President of the Armor Group and living in the charmer griya as well as the sole heir of the Lyasander family makes everyone certainly very envious of her. But he himself was quite the opposite, he was so confused by his current condition.

Aleris had just gulped down a glass of water given by Bi Tuti. He seemed to be thinking about something. Of course, after all the things he had gone through a few days ago must have made him so mummy. Especially about the plan he had just agreed to. His decision to make their marriage seem like it happened because of an accident was weighing him down at this time. Many things he considered, especially about himself and the prospective children he will raise. Aleris worried about the safety of himself and the prospective child if their plan did not go well. But the rice had already become porridge, he had already agreed to the plan. He has also run out of sense to cover up his contract marriage with Arran. If not, then people will be suspicious and wonder why he wants to marry Arran secretly and suddenly.

Aleris then exhaled slowly. He grabbed the phone next to him. He hadn't held his phone for a long time. So many notifications coming in. Short messages, missed calls, package order notifications, etc. He started to clean them one by one. Not yet had he cleared everything up suddenly Aleris was struck by something circling his legs. It turned out to be a white cat with a heart-red necklace coiled around its neck. Aleris then held the cat.

"Garfield?" Aleris read the cat's name engraved on her necklace pendant.

"Is that man really keeping a cat?" Aleris asked himself.

"Halo Garfield" Aleris now rubbed the cat.

"Hey Garfield, you're ahead of us huh".

a boy suddenly appeared from the front followed by a woman sitting in a wheelchair. The boy now took Garfield from Aleris' lap.

"He's so fat, isn't he Tan?" Ask the boy to Aleris.

Aleris was confused, he did not recognize these two people in front of him.

"He hasn't recognized you Zion". The woman in the wheelchair spoke up.

"He's my son, Zionaver. Meet me Elira, Arran's Aunt you can call me Aunt Lira like Arran". The woman introduced herself.

"Ah, yes. Arran told me about Aunt Lira. I'm al, I mean, I'm Hera, hehe". Aleris now shakes Aunty Lira's hand.

"You're so beautiful, it's not wrong that Arran chose you". Praise Aunt Lira.

Aleris's face turned a dead red. He blushed in shame.

"Tante, it's Garfield. Garfield's Aunt Hera. He's Om Ran's wife. You're happy to hear that? Now if Om Ran is busy you'll stay well-groomed because there's Aunt Hera. Please take good care of her, Auntie. Maybe the food will be a bit much, please understand ya, hehe". Zion introduces Garfield to Aleris.

"Well Zion you've seen your aunt's face, right ? Now you can go back to your room with Garfield" said Aunt Lira telling Zion to enter the room.

"Ah, mommy! I still want to talk to Aunt Hera". Rengek Zion's.

"Already, there!" Aunt Lira.

"Why not. I'm also happy to have a conversation with Zion" Aleris said.

"He will keep asking you questions all day" said Aunt Lira, smiling.

Aleris smiled, then remained silent for a while. Aunt Lira then approached Aleris. He seems to be saying something.

"Arran told me about your plans". Aunt Lira started the conversation.

"Ah, about the plan..... I'm not sure either. If Auntie disagrees we can cancel our plan anyway, so Auntie don't have to worry". Answer Aleris. He was so awkward when he started talking about the plan.

"Don't cancel. I was happy when I heard it. To be honest, I was worried about the fate of my children. You know my current condition doesn't allow me to stay beside them. I was so worried that they would be lonely. The doctor said I can't be with them for long".

"Don't say it like Auntie, I'm sure Auntie will definitely be cured and can always be with them". Aleris said while holding Aunt Lira's arm.

"Honestly the doctor told me to abort him, given my current condition. But I insist on keeping it as much as I can. I'm sure there's a reason behind all this".

Now both eyes of Aleris glazed. He was so moved when he heard the explanation from Aunt Lira.

"Arran, although he looks cold and insensitive to others, is actually a figure who is so caring and loving. He was willing to do anything to defend his family. Ever since I got sick, Arran was the one who took care of Zion. He even took good care of me. He also helped my husband's case. Therefore I am sure he will also be able to take care of this child. Especially now coupled with your presence. I believe you'll be a good connecting mother to her and to Zion".

"Aunty...." Aleris wanted to say something but it seemed to have come to a halt.

"You and Arran are good people, I would be very happy if they could grow up and grow up in your care. I'm sure you'll raise my children sincerely and affectionately".

"Tante, we'll raise them together. Aunty will be able to see them grow up. Aunt should be sure". Aleris looked at Aunt Lira's face with great earnestness.

Aleris then took off Aunt Lira's embrace because there was a call coming into her phone. It says an unknown number on his smartphone screen. Aleris then raised the call.

"Who are you, with whom?". Aleris.

"Arran?". Aleris is shocked to learn that the call came from Arran. He then moved away from Aunt Lira to continue his conversation with Arran on the phone.

"Where did you get my number? Ah, it's not important. Why are you calling me, huh? What's up?". Ask Aleris.

"What's? Dinner invitations at our house? How should I prepare it if you only give me a few hours to prepare.... Oh, well. Yep, yeah. Yes I know bawel!"

"South". Aleris hung up the phone rudely. He was visibly emotional when he ended Arran's call.

"Based on that guy! It's as if you're inviting someone else into this house without my consent. This is his home!". Grunts Aleris.

Aleris then approached Aunt Lira who was silent looking out of the window.

"This place is so high. Too dazzling. To blind the eyes of the person who stared at him for too long". Aunt Lira.

"I mean Auntie?". Aleris did not understand the words of Aunt Lira.

"Ah, it's nothing. Arran called you ?".

"Yes Aunt".

"What's up ?".

"Arran invited all the apartment dwellers to dinner here tonight. He said in order to introduce myself to all the residents of the apartment. To be honest I disagree, I'm just afraid of security. But Arran said it's okay. So I agreed to it".

"Yes, then you must prepare from now on".

"really. It will take a lot of preparation. Arran has already asked a few people to help so I won't be too bothered".

"Thank God. Then Auntie's back in Auntie's room".

"I'll take Auntie".

Aleris then drove Aunt Lira to her room. Aunt Lira's room is on the second floor. Aleris had to use a special lift to get there. When he arrived at Aunt Lira's room, Aleris saw Zion and Garfield playing.

"Aante!". Sapa Zion, he hugged Aleris.

"Zion, you've been playing in your room all day? You're not bored? Why don't you just play outside? Below is a playground, lots of kids your age there. Tell you what, tomorrow Auntie invites Zion to play down, yes, Zion wants to?" Ask Aleris.

"Zion is banned from playing outside by Mamah and Om Ran". Said Zion while bowing.

"Ah, so yes". Aleris could not bear to see Zion's gloomy face.

"I'm just worried about his safety. Nobody in the apartment knew where we were. So it would be a problem if Zion suddenly appeared before them". Definitely Aunt Lira.

"Emm, I'll discuss that with Arran. We will find a solution to this problem. I can't bear to see Zion constantly playing by herself in her room". Obviously Aleris on Aunt Lira.

"Thank you in advance". Answer Aunt Lira.

"Then I go downstairs, Auntie. I'll do the prep for dinner".

"wait". Said Aunt Lira while holding Aleris' arm.

"This. Take it". Aunt Lira gives something to Aleris' arm.

"What is this Tan....., test pack? What's Auntie for?" Aleris was astonished when he learned of the gift from Aunt Lira.

"Watch only. If at dinner you're suspected of using this. They'll all shut up if they see this". Definitely Aunt Lira.

"Ah, I understand". Aleris.

He then took the test pack and put it in his pocket. Aleris then went back down. He had begun to realize that tonight was not just an ordinary dinner, but would be a place for large-scale interrogations openly from the residents of the apartment. So he has to prepare himself well.
