Contract Marriage At Penthouse
An Accountability

Brother I want to go home

And playing together again

But I'm alone now

Sitting in the dark and terrified

Brother please pick me up

Or at least sit next to me

Embrace me and expel my fear

But where are you now?

It is said that when a person is unconscious, he can listen and dive into his subconscious. It was as if his subconscious was inviting him to speak and replay memories long lost from memory. Like watching a movie with an untoward storyline. Really ?

Now he is experiencing that. When his body lay on the cold floor and still under the influence of drugs. His arms and legs were tied tightly while his eyes were covered by a black cloth. The girl drooped weakly unconscious.

Slowly the girl woke up, her ears hearing voices coming from nearby. The beats of footsteps, whispers and friction of tree branches were clearly heard in his ears. He tried to get up but it was difficult, his whole body was in a weak condition. I don't know how long he's been unconscious. He was worried that something would happen to him.

Clique

The girl heard the door open and footsteps seemed to be pointing at her. Who are they and what do they want?

"If you look at the dose of the dagger I used, it looks like he'll soon wake up". A man seemed to be talking about the girl to the man next to him.

"You're right, we'll wait a minute". The other man beside the man just chimed in on her words.

The girl tried to keep looking faint, she even set her breath as slow as possible so as not to be caught. But both men lost patience. He dragged the girl and tried to tie her to a chair. The girl who had been pretending to be unconscious was now trying to fight them. But it's useless, the power is not as strong as them. Now the two men open the girl's eyes.

When the blindfold was opened the girl looked very glittering. He blinked his eyes several times to see clearly. From the front of the girl were two men in different suits. The one on the left is wearing an all-black suit and the one on the right is wearing a dark blue formal shirt. He can now look at the entire contents of the room, a spacious room painted all white with the same color of floor tiles. The room was empty, filled with nothing but a chair that he was sitting in at the moment. The girl was suddenly stunned when she realized who the man on the right was.

"You!". The girl wanted to get angry but her voice instead sounded very slow, she was already running out of energy.

"I thought you were just a plain girl". Ketus.

"What do you mean by holding me like this? Just because I can't compensate doesn't mean you have the right to act arbitrarily against me". The girl still thinks the man wants to ask her for damages.

"Stop spouting nonsense and answer my question honestly, who told you to put this tracking device in my car?". The man held up a tracking device in front of the girl's eyes.

"Stracking tools?". The girl's face turned into confusion.

"Not pretend not to know. It's also free if you dodge it. It's obvious you did it". The man's words cornered the girl.

"I don't know anything about tracking devices or anything like that. Why do you easily accuse me like this?".

"Still dare to dodge yes. Look, only you touched my car yesterday so who else would have done it if it wasn't you?". The man further cornered the girl.

"I'm not the culprit! Why would I put such a device in your car? I don't even know you and have never met you before".

"Still evasive, well I'm forced to resort to violence so you can open your mouth". The man whispered something into the ear of the man beside him.

The girl looked agitated. He was afraid that he would be in danger. He doesn't know what to do. His heart was beating very fast while his entire body was trembling. He tried to break away from the bond that ensnared him but in vain. The snare was so tight and strong, it was impossible if the girl managed to open it herself.

A moment later the dance man came back, but this time accompanied by a woman wearing a house keeping uniform. The woman carried a whip in her hand. The girl's heart was pounding. He will be whipped if he does not admit it. But he was innocent, he could not admit to a crime he had not committed.

The man knew the girl's name. Aleris wondered where the man knew his name from. But this is not the time to think about such things. His safety is at stake. He had run out of sense and energy to escape. He could only surrender to the powerful, hoping that someone would come to his aid.

"How many times do I have to say that it wasn't me who put that thing in your car".

"Well, if that's what you want".

The man beckoned the woman who was nearby to advance closer to Aleris. Quickly the woman stepped closer to Aleris and raised her whip. Just now that the whip was half-raised suddenly came the sound of the door being broken.

"Stop!". Suddenly there came a grandfather and two other men. The grandfathers were the Grandparents that Aleris had met at the bus stop.

"Mr Arran, how dare you hold my granddaughter!". The grandfather walked up to the man. Grandfather's face looked so angry and full of emotion.

"Your grandchild?". Arran was so astonished.

"Yes, he was my grandson who went missing twenty years ago. Let him go now. Brrani once you accused my grandson of the murder of Mr. Cornelius. How come?". The grandfather looked at Arran's face cynically.

"This girl is your granddaughter? How come?". Arran is confused.

"I just found it today. But I know for sure that he is my grandson. Already, let him go now". The Grandfather now spoke in a high tone and raised face.

"I can't trust you completely. What if you were the mastermind behind the real death of Mr. Cornelius. This girl must be your accomplice, right?".

"Mr Arran!". My grandfather lost his patience. He spontaneously slapped Arran's face hard.

"Don't talk to me. Listen carefully and watch this. Mr. Cornelius is my family, he is the son of my brother and I am the one who has the right to investigate his murder. I'm his guardian. You have no right to interfere, let alone hold and injure my granddaughter. Hurry along! Let him go now or I'll report you to the police for holding my granddaughter". Grandpa was really angry.

Arran was shocked to hear the reality he had just heard. His face looked confused. He was stunned for a while.

"Sir Lee, release Miss Aleris". Arran.

The man beside Arran came forward to Aleris and opened the bond that had been entangling Aleris' body for a long time. As soon as the bond broke Aleris fell and was unconscious.

"Herah!". Suddenly the Grandfather called Aleris by the name of his grandson. The Grandfather approached Aleris, he tried to resuscitate her. But Aleris had run out of energy to wake up. His body was already weak, he was not even able to support his body anymore. Grandfather was so anxious to see his current condition. He tried many times to wake her up.

"Sir Yosep, come quickly!". Grandpa called his bodyguard.

"Take my granddaughter to my car and get us to the hospital". The Grandfather gave orders to Mr. Yosep.

"Good Sir". Said Mr. Yosep.

Mr. Yosep carried Aleris to the car. The Grandfather then stood up and approached Arran.

"You're responsible for what you've done to my granddaughter". Said the Grandfather while pointing his index finger towards Arran's face.

"I don't know if he's your grandson. I'm sorry for my mistake". Arran put on a deep face of regret. He even bowed his body in front of Grandpa.

"No. It's not enough to apologize. I want you to marry her". Said the Grandpa. Suddenly he pulled out a brown envelope from his suit. The envelope is the same as the envelope Mr. Cornelius was carrying.

"Mr Cornelius had already sacrificed his life for this envelope. So I hope you do what Mr. Cornelius has said". The grandfather handed the envelope to Arran.

"Married her?". Arran's face was getting confused.

The Grandfather looked at Arran sharply. Arran also looked at Grandfather's face with a confused and shocked expression. They're facing each other right now. Is Arran going to take orders from Grandpa?
