Black Shadow: Gangster X Family
Deal

Chloe was laying her body on the bed after walking around the dormitory, she just wanted to look around the dormitory that she would occupy in the future.

"What is my husband's face like?" Chloe looked up at the ceiling of her room, She rolled around for a moment, Imagining her husband's face. The girl smiled to herself, Even though her husband comes from a simple family, Chloe is not a problem. Instead he prefers like that, the problem of money can be sought equally.

It's just Chloe's bored waiting too. When will Justin explain her whereabouts? She hopes Justin explains everything to her, especially the reason why her husband lives in a dormitory that is notabane in the habitation of many people.

As she struggles with her thoughts, Chloe hears a knock from the bedroom door.

Geck!  Geck!  Geck!

The girl got up and approached the door. Chloe opened it quickly, looking at the figure of the man in black and brown before her. He intended to open his voice, but was interrupted directly by Raizel.

"Justin told me to pick you up, you were called to his room" he quickly cut. Without saying anything more, Raizel turned around and went down the stairs.

Chloe hurriedly closed the door and ran over to Raizel. He was trying to align his steps with the young purple-trenched man.

"What does Raizel really know about the letter? I feel weird here," Chloe looked down.

"I don't know anything about the letter you said it was, Your business is only between you and the 10th member" Raizel replied flatly.

"Like him I should ask more of the 10th member you mean,"

Raizel was silent, only staring straight until his footsteps stopped at a brown door. Chloe came to a stop, Looking at the man beside her for a moment asking for an explanation.

"This is Justin's room, you just go in,"

"Yes, thank you for dropping off," Chloe smiled cheerfully.

Raizel turned his gaze away, Dehem slowly. "Hm.."

Finished with her task, Raizel steps away leaving Chloe at Justin's doorstep. The girl exhaled for a moment and began to knock on the door.

Geck!  Geck!  Geck!

"Excuse me,"

"Come in!"

Hearing the voice from within, the girl rushed in awkwardly. He watched his surroundings for a while before his gaze fell on Justin and a figure of a black-blossomed man mixed in silver who was staring at him lazily.

Blam it!

"Sit there!" Justin's orders glanced at the chair beside Livian.

Chloe rushed to Justin's orders, The girl sat herself down as comfortably as possible, There were only three of them there. He opened the voice starting the conversation. "Yes...So the letter's problem, how about?"

"Yes I know," There was a sound of Justin breathing, He turned his head to look at Livian. "Explain now Livian!"

Livian cleared her throat slowly, staring lazily without interest. "I'm Livian Gevariel, 10th Member. I'm the one who made the deal to your family,"

"E-Eh? So you're my husband?" Chloe stared in shock, From the look of Livian somehow it feels unconvincing? Livian's handsome man period can want to be the same he whose notaban is just an ordinary girl. Chloe's getting suspicious.

"No!" Livian said firmly, Now the gaze turned serious. " I did marry you. But our marriage is just pretend, it's not really happening and it's not legal to know. I'm doing all this on Justin's orders, so you can go back to the hostel because you're the 8th member of the lost!"

Chloe felt very shocked and shocked by the truth Livian said. He reached into her pocket and showed Livian a ring. "But what about this ring? If you're just pretending why did you give me this ring?!" His words began to emotion.

"Oh, that's just a complement. To make our marriage look real. The ring means nothing,"

"But why do my parents believe that I'm married?" Chloe looked down between happy that she was only pretending to be married and upset because she felt lied to.

"I hypnotized him, It's easy to make them believe my words" Reply Livian lazily, He slightly yawned a little.

"Hypnotized?! You liar, you lied to me all this time! Then what good is it that I'm in this dorm if it's all for nothing?!" Chloe clenched her hand, Resisting the emotion. 

"Don't be mad at me, I'm just doing his orders. All the plans were from her," Livian glanced at Justin who had been listening quietly since. Feeling called out, Netra orange Justin sharpens.

"I'm asking you to just take her instead of marrying her!" The grimace of the orange-netraged man, Livian aimed her shoulders indifferently.

"The point is our marriage is not legal, the rest I leave to Justin," Livian looked up at Justin for a moment. "My job is done, now I want to sleep. Bye!"

Livian walked out of there. Now only Chloe and Justin are left in it. Chloe exhaled her breath trying to ease the nearly bursting emotion earlier. Justin was silent for a moment while watching Chloe's actions with her orange net.

Chloe feels like she is dreaming right now, being in a dorm that she does not know and then knowing the fact that her marriage is just pretending. Too shocking and confusing for Chloe.

"Why are you so sure that I'm one of your members?" Chloe narrowed her eyes looking suspiciously at Justin.

"The mark on your neck already explained everything, Only the members of the black shadow can see such a special mark," Justin smiled faintly. "And your language is too casual, you used to call me Mr. Justin,"

"Handmark?" Chloe touched his neck, felt a little scratch there. He looked at Justin full of question marks. "I don't think I remember ever calling you that, or have we met before?"

Justin smiled mysteriously. "Sometimes you'll remember it just like everyone else,"

Chloe just silently thought hard to look at Justin's face, but she did not feel familiar with Justin's face at all. Realizing that Chloe stared at him for a long time, Justin closed his eyes.

"Don't think too much, you'll feel dizzy trying to remember. Let the memory appear on its own later," 

"Then, I have no business here anymore because my marriage is just pretending. So I'm going back to my house" Chloe sighed, Intending to leave from there.

"Wait on! You're a member here, you can't get out of the dorm without my consent,"

"Rubber! What good am I if I really belong here? I can't stay here for long" Chloe turned her head, She's holding the ring in her hand. "And I also had to find work, so that my family would not suffer. At the moment our family's economy is in decline" he said sadly.

Justin stared in silence for a moment, An idea suddenly flashed through his mind. "What if a deal? Instead you live here,"

"Deal?" Chloe looked up when she heard those words. "What-like?"

"I'll give your family money every month as their living allowance. And instead of you doing the mission I'm ordering, one of these missions," Justin handed Chloe a document.

Chloe looked at the document for a moment, She opened it and read the contents carefully.

Shortly afterwards the girl screeched in surprise, Can't believe what she read just now.

"What! Marriage contract?!"

His red Netra instantly looked at Justin still with a surprised look, While Justin who was stared at just a small nod.

"What does that mean?!"

"More specifically, it's your first mission if you accept the deal. This contract marriage is only limited to status, not to the stage of a married relationship. You just have to pretend to be our wife" Justin took it seriously.

"Wait on! Our Wife? You mean all of you, all of you members of this dorm?!" Chloe asked now slightly raised her tone, Still can't believe what she heard.

Justin nodded slowly.

"Please explain to me why you need a mission like this?" Now Chloe's back to being serious, suppressing a little of her words.

Justin turned his gaze the other way for a while before replying. "I'm sick of hearing my grandmother's request that I get married quickly and as soon as she has a child for our family's successor, even she intends to match me up with another woman,"

"For now though I still want to be alone and have not thought to have offspring. So to silence them, this is the only way for my family to stop forcing me to get married" Justin added, looking back at Chloe, who gasped in shock.

"And you know Livian?"

"What just now?"

"Yes, he has the same fate as me. Her family asks Livian to get married quickly and she is almost betrothed. That's why he ran away and is now a member here" Justin exhaled. "So I'm asking you for help, this is the only way they can stop forcing me and maybe even other members of the group to suffer the same fate,"

"But contract marriage isn't legal?" Chloe looked back at the document in her hand.

"It's true, but no one knows but we're members of the hostel,"

"How long does this contract last?"

"5 years, I only need 5 years for my family to believe. So how about, do you accept this deal?"

Chloe fell silent afterwards, In her mind struggling now. His deal does sound tempting but on the other hand he also has to risk his pride here. The girl's eyes closed and then opened again to look at Justin.

"Give me some time, I'll tell you the answer tomorrow," he put the document back in front of Justin.

"All right, I'll wait,"

Chloe climbed up and bowed. "I'm sorry,"

After getting a nod from Justin, Chloe stepped out of there.
