Forced Marriage: Thirteenth Wife
2. Too Handsome

Elios Desnomia Yasu. It was the name of the man Roxanne would marry.

Not only was the person's name strange, but everything about him was strange.

No, even scary and too mysterious.

But, one thing Roxanne knew after trying hard to find her. It was a fact that Elios was actually from the Narendra family, a family that was secretly known as the family that dominated this country.

Why he's using Yasa's name, Roxanne doesn't know. Just like Roxanne doesn't know what that guy looks like and how he actually behaves.

What Roxanne heard from the news was that the man killed his wife, tortured them for personal pleasure, and married very many women from the age of twenty.

"Pretty." The man's parents, the woman who came to buy Roxanne commented after observing his face. "It just takes a little polish. This is better than hope."

"Of course, Madam." Mom laughed cheerfully rubbing Roxanne's head. "This child is very obedient and does not like to talk much. I guarantee he will meet all the needs of Young Master Elios with his body."

Madam Narendra looked at Roxanne once more before she gestured someone forward, giving her a suitcase filled with price money from buying Roxanne.

"Let's go. I'll take you to Elios' own residence."

Roxanne looked at Mom to really convince herself. Seeing the look in the eyes of the woman was still the same, still asking her not to hesitate to humble herself even if she was being sold like a toy.

I just need to care about how Mom and I live.

Roxanne convinces herself as she walks after Narendra.

No matter if she had to be the tenth or twentieth wife, as long as she had money, wouldn't that be more than enough? Only money keeps me and Mom alive, in the end.

Roxanne follows him even until they board the helicopter. They sat in silence for a very long time, until there were signs of helicopters landing on a courtyard of a large black house that looked like a haunted house in the movies.

"We welcome, Madame Medea."

So this woman's name is Medea?

Roxanne observes there are about eight luxury-dressed girls who bow like they are welcoming a queen.

"They are Elios' wives."

Roxanne rounded her shocked eyes. These eight guys, all the wives of that guy?

"You are the thirteenth." Madame Medea glanced at Roxanne. "No need to ask where the rest are. And there is no need to get along with them. Better not make a fuss let alone bother Elios."

Roxanne clenched her hand once more, very strongly holding back.

Don't be afraid, whisper to yourself. I just need to shut up like a ghost, not harass anyone, hear orders and get money.

Just focus on that.

"What's your name?"

"Roxanne's."

"Yes, Madam."

"Your job in this house is only one." Madam Medea's footsteps stopped in front of a giant doorway room, then she turned to Roxanne. "Don't make Elios angry."

It was what Roxanne wanted to do, so she swore at anything to keep quiet.

The giant door suddenly opened, giving rise to a spacious room that Roxanne had never seen in her entire life.

Inside the room stood a man who made Roxanne freeze stiffly.

Gosh darn.

When Roxanne hears that she has multiple wives, Roxanne imagines a bloated man with a nasty face. Or an old man with white hair and eyebrows, a thin, wrinkled body.

But what stood there was not even worthy of being called human.

His face was not a relative face type anymore. Everyone who saw him would agree that he was handsome, too handsome.

"Elios."

"Mother." The man stared expressionlessly at Madame Medea before staring at Roxanne at a glance. "Is she the new woman you're buying?"

"Yes. You don't like it?"

Roxanne initially believed that she could not be rejected. Roxanne's beauty was the only gift she had in her entire life.

But now Roxanne's scared. This man, his face was too handsome until it was reasonable that he saw a beautiful woman as a ugly duckling. She must not have easily seen the beautiful face of a woman because her own face was already too beautiful.

I have to do something!

Roxanne panic. He kept thinking he should do something before the guy there said he wasn't interested because Roxanne was too ugly.

The way! One way to get his attention!

"Hello, Young Master."

Roxanne eventually becomes reckless. Came closer without permission, staring at the man without permission.

"I'm Roxanne. I promise to do well as a wife, so please just say what Young Master wants."

Justjust please. Please at least be interested that this girl in front of him is an obedient girl.

He must accept. He had to like it even if it was only as big as a grain of rice.

Please—

Plaque!
