CRAZY RICH DADDY (Secret After Lie)
Eduardo Silva CRD

"Lord, s-actually that Miss Jose from the North City is our fiancee, Mr. William," Okta said slowly.

"What?"

Louise was inflamed, pulling Okta's collar and ready to float the raw bogem with her clenched hands.

"T-Master! That's exactly how it is. They had already been betrothed by the Elders from both sides when Miss Jose was a baby. Mr. William was also about two years old at the time" Okta said in a panic.

"What is this empty egg? I don't believe what you're saying. What's your real goal, why make up such a nonsensical story?" louise sarcasm.

"Gentlemen, I swear. I'm telling the truth. I dare not lie to you, Sir. If you don't believe me, please ask Mr. Alex. He must know, Miss Jose should know about the engagement, too" Okta explained.

"But why did they never discuss the engagement in the slightest?" ask Louise.

"T-master, maybe because Mr. Alex thinks Mr. William is dead. Because after ten years of searching and not finding it, the Elders of the Eastern Nobles decided to announce that Mr. William was dead. Maybe that's the reason" Okta replied trembling.

"If you dare to lie to me, I swear I will kill you. Chop you into a million pieces and give it to a stray dog. Not only you, but all your family I'll finish off in the same way" Louise threatened to release her grip and throw Okta to the ground.

"Gentlemen, if that thing still exists T-master can check it out. They have the same pendant and inside the pendant is a photo of them both" Okta said.

"You get out of front of me right now!" push Louise.

Louise shook her head, why could there be such a thing. Just a step away, just wait for Oskar and William to finish the operation and he will marry his beloved Joanna. Will this time fail again the same as when the doctor said Oskar was detected with cancer at that time?

Louise immediately contacted Sir Alex. Asking him to meet somewhere even though it was late. Waiting for tomorrow, Louise is no longer able to. Louise needs that answer right now from the mouth of a man who will either be her future father-in-law or not.

Louise only took ten minutes to get to where they had agreed. We have ten minutes to wait for Sir Alex to arrive.

Louise waited anxiously, she desperately wanted to deny what Okta said but to be honest what she said made perfect sense. Because the locket was Louise had seen it.

William once opened it and showed me the contents of the locket. Behind the initials 'E.S' is a small photo showing a picture of a little boy holding a baby girl. The boy smiled broadly, while the baby girl did not show any expression. But his hand was clutching the hand of the boy who was holding him.

Louise did not think at all that the two little creatures were William and Joanna. Even William thought the baby was his sister. Because when he was flirting with Louise, William always said, "Louise, look! Isn't my sister very pretty. Are you interested in marrying her? I'll find him and introduce him to you if you like."

FLECKISH

"What's asking me to come here at this hour?" sir Alex asked curiously.

Louise regained consciousness from her intermezza, turned to the source of the voice then immediately got up to greet Sir Alex.

"Dad, there's something I want to ask you!" louise said without letting Sir Alex sit down first.

"What?" sir Alex asked with a confused face.

"Did my Joanna have a fiancee since infancy?" ask Louise.

"Why are you suddenly asking this?" sir Alex asked in wonder. Then immediately sat down and was followed by Louise.

"Just answer my question!" louise Pinta.

Sir Alex let out a long sigh and replied, "Louise, my little Jose did have a fiance when he was only a few months old. It was then that the Northern City Elder betrothed her to a son from the Eastern Nobles. His name is Eduardo, but he's been dead a long time. Exactly more than 24 years," replied Sir Alex.

"Eduardo?" ask Louise.

"Yes, Eduardo Silva. That is his name" replied Sir Alex.

Louise closed her eyes, with her hands covering her entire face. His memory drifted to 24 years ago. Where his parents found a little boy who was huddled alone on the streets with a consciousness that had been lost.

In a hurry his parents immediately took the child away to the nearest hospital so as not to realize an object had fallen to the ground. Little Louise picked it up, looked at it and read the writing.

Little Louise at that time was still not very understanding and was sleepy. So after reading his writing with his eyes half closed, he again threw the thing away.

The real thing was a small bracelet belonging to William. Louise threw it away, leaving one of the names engraved on a small bracelet that belonged to the boy forgotten. His name is Eduardo Silva.

The boy was helped when he was taken to the hospital. But domestic medical equipment isn't sophisticated enough to guarantee it's alive. Her parents decided to take her abroad with little Louise and little Juan.

Of course Louise's parents once informed of the discovery of a child halfway through. But no one contacted him. So they decided to make it as an adopted child. He gave him the name William Matthew and became the younger brother of Louise Matthew.

"Louise, you're why. Are you not well. Did something happen?" sir Alex panicked when he saw the change in Louise.

"Dad, what if your first son-in-law is still alive?" louise asked after opening her hand.

"What are you saying. It's been over 24 years. How could he suddenly live?" answer Sir Alex.

"William, my sister. He's not my real brother. Papa and mama found him lying on the street and raised him as a child" Louise said.

Sir Alex was stunned for a moment. Before finally realizing where Louise was going.

"L-louise, don't tell me she is,-"

"William Matthew, my brother is actually Eduardo Silva" Louise said.

"What?" Sir Alex could no longer speak.

How can it be like this. But wait, why would William and Jose ever get engaged. They are both adults now. Jose has chosen Louise as his partner and William has chosen Marissa as his companion.

Moreover, the Elders of the Northern City already had none left. The North City is his and Jose is his heir. In addition, William was no longer Eduardo who lived in the Eastern Nobles. William is William who bears Matthew's great name behind him. He already had nothing to do with the Eastern Nobles so what was there to worry about?

"Louise, even so it's not that everything will still remain the same. My little Jose is yours and Marissa is William's?" ask Sir Alex.

"The problem isn't that simple, Dad!" answer Louise. Louise finally explained everything Okta had said and Sir Alex listened to everything with a lot of changes in expression on his face.

To be honest, Sir Alex is starting to get scared now. Afraid that everything they had designed was beautifully undone. And Jose, once again who had to bear and be his victim.

"We have to wait for William to recover and then discuss this with Jose" Sir Alex said slowly. Only that sentence could he say after the long sentence Louise said.
