Higeia Hospital June 01 at 21:00
Aleris was lying in a special hospital room that had been ordered by the Grandfather. His breathing is now beginning to settle, but he has not yet regained consciousness. The doctor said he'd be conscious soon. The Grandfather faithfully accompanied Aleris. Many times he watched his watch while pacing back and forth. Occasionally, he also checked the condition of Aleris hoping to see signs of self-consciousness. Grandfather's face was already starting to look anxious, would his grandson soon come to his senses? He was about to leave the room and told the doctor to recheck his grandson's condition before he realized that Aleris was now unconscious. Grandpa hurriedly approached his grandson. Aleris opened her eyes slowly.
"You're aware, son?". Ask Grandpa.
Aleris's eyeballs seemed to move to the right and to the left, as if he was trying to recognize the conditions around him. He wants to wake up slowly.
"Don't wake up son, you're still weak. Hold on, I'll call the doctor first to check your condition". The grandfather then left the room leaving Aleris alone in the room.
Soon the door of the room opened, but neither the Grandfather nor the doctor came but Arran, the man who had sealed Aleris. Aleris's limp and deathly pale face turned into shock and fear. He was about to get up and try to escape but he did not have the strength to get up and get up. Arran was getting closer to Aleris, his face was so cold. His pace was so fast, he seemed to hold anger in his heart.
"Why do I have to deal with a woman like you?". Arran.
"You, why are you here? Whatdoyouwant?". The words that came out of Aleris' mouth sounded soft, he tried to use the rest of his strength to face the man before him.
"I also don't want to keep dealing with you but because of this damn will I have to keep dealing with you". Arran throws a brown envelope at Aleris.
"What is this ?". Aleris wondered.
He then opened the envelope and read the contents of the letter inside. He was shocked and in disbelief when he found out the contents of the letter. Many times he reread the letter and his face still showed the same expression.
"No, not necessarily if I'm Grandpa Lysander's granddaughter. It could be just a misunderstanding. There is no clear evidence to suggest that I am Grandpa Lysander's legitimate granddaughter". Aleris was doubtful of her own identity.
"I checked your identity. I've done a DNA test and matched it with the DNA test results of the late Mr. Eryx, Mr. Lysander's only son. Results match. You are the sole heir of the Lysander family that went missing twenty years ago. He handed another envelope to Aleris, which was the result of his DNA test.
Aleris was stunned for a while. He returned the two envelopes to Arran. These few days have changed her life so much. From the start of an accidental meeting with Arran that leads to captivity and a meeting with his biological grandfather. He also reveals his true identity. On the one hand he was happy because it turned out he still had a family and was not alone but on the other hand he was so worried and shocked by the fact that he would be betrothed to Arran, the man in front of him. Aleris could not accept this match because she had been proposed by Tryan, but this match was a will signed directly by Arran's parents and his biological parents. There is also a doubt if the will is not fulfilled. But Aleris is not so worried about his sanctions because after all from yesterday he was fine even without an inheritance from his biological family. But what about the fate of Arran when suddenly had to lose all his wealth. Aleris shouldn't be thinking of others at a time like this.
"Look, marry me. You don't have to worry I've prepared a plan". Arran suddenly persuaded Aleris.
"And I have a plan too". Suddenly Grandpa came and approached the two of them.
"You didn't tell me first that you were going to see my grandson Mr. Arran". Said the Grandpa.
"I kept my arrival a secret, Mr. Lyasander. It's for the good of all of us". Arran is now dealing with Grandpa.
"Yes, yeah. I-i know. You don't have to bother, I've also prepared a plan for you. I also don't agree if my granddaughter should marry you now, especially after yesterday's captivity. But what can be done, there is a great danger threatening you both out there. If you're not prepared then your lives are at stake". Obviously the Grandpa.
"Danger?". Ask Aleris. He's getting confused about all this.
"Yes, the danger is equal to the danger that took the lives of your parents, the parents of Mr. Arran and Mr. Cornelius. You are the next target. Therefore, his father Arran made this letter. He has prepared a plan for your safety and the wealth of both families". Clearly the Grandfather was staring at Aleris and Arran in turn.
"Then marry Mr. Arran for a while". Said the Grandpa.
"Marry me until we catch the mastermind of the murder that killed both your parents, my parents and Mr. Cornelius". Arran explained.
"But why marry you?". Aleris asked again.
"The culprit is after every heir of the Lysander family and the Xavier family as well as important people related to our family. They're after the property of our family and that of Mr. Arran's family. If you get married then the property of both families will be centered into one and not divided. Security will be focused and centralized, and we can work together to capture the mastermind of this long terror chain". Obviously the Grandpa.
"We can get divorced if this case is over. I've prepared the agreement, you just need to sign it after the wedding". Arran then thrust a letter at Aleris. Aleris read it slowly.
"How's Nak? Are you willing to marry Mr Arran?". asked the Grandpa.
Aleris was so confused, on the one hand his life was now in danger but on the other hand he also did not want to betray Tryan. He can only be silent. Millions of questions swelled in his mind. A few days ago, her life was fine. But now that everything had changed, he was even at a loss where to start.
"Yes, I'm ready". Those words came out of Aleris' mouth with a falter. He said it half-heartedly.
"Well, tomorrow as soon as you're out of the hospital me and Mr. Arran will prepare the wedding in secret. No one can know it except the interested. Everything should be as closed and secretive as possible. Can you be Mr Arran?". Said the Grandpa.
"Sure, but why tomorrow?". Ask Arran.
"Because the perpetrator already knew that my granddaughter was back. He's now looking for my grandson. If not, it would be very fatal". Obviously Grandpa.
"Yes, I get it". Arran then stunned.
Aleris is shocked to find out that he is being targeted. He looked at his grandfather's face. His grandfather then held Aleris' arm. I don't know why his feelings turned calm afterwards.
"You don't have to worry, son, I'll always be by your side. I will always protect you". The grandfather looked at Aleris affectionately. His eyes suddenly glazed over.
"Oh, I almost forgot. Your real name is Hera. Rivera Hera Lyasander's. Wait a minute, I still have the bracelet. Bracelet that says your name". Grandpa then reached into his pocket. He took out a silver bracelet decorated with diamonds with name carvings inside.
"This. This bracelet is yours. Your mother intended to give it to you on your tenth birthday. But when you were five you were gone. So I still keep it to this day. Now it's time to give it back to the owner". Grandpa then put the bracelet on Aleris's arm. The bracelet looked beautifully coiled on Aleris's tapered arm.
Clik.
The door sounds open. Security chief Lee suddenly appeared. His face looked tense and his breathing was quick.
"Sir, they know where you are. I'm afraid the same thing that Mr. Cornelius did to all of you. You must leave this place now. I've prepared a special vehicle for you". Obviously head of security Lee.
"I told you they'd start now. We all need to get ready". Said the Grandpa.
"I'll carry you, you're still not fully recovered". Arran offers Aleris a favor.
Aleris looks doubtful and shy, but what's okay to do, it's a precarious condition. Then they went outside. Outside the door were three people who were already on standby to escort them. They had a gun in their pocket. It seems like a precarious condition. Tomorrow is Aleris and Arran's wedding day. Will they manage to have their wedding? Will they survive this time?
