“I, Harry Geonandes, take Lexi Stevani Willson as my wife. I promise to be faithful to you in joy and sorrow, in sickness and in health. I will love you and respect you for the rest of my life,” Harry said loudly and straightforwardly.

"There may be ups and downs. However, we will hold hands and together we will go through it all. This is an oath I give to my wonderful wife,”, he continued, looking into Lexi's eyes with a look of adoration.

Cheers of applause sounded. Pax and Alena compactly rub the clear crystals in the corners of their eyes. Lexi is now legally the wife of Harry Geonandes.

"Mrs. Harry Geonandes, Lexi Stevani Geonandes, you are now legally married. You can kiss your wife, Mr. Geonandes," exclaimed the man who married Harry and Lexi.

Steve, Darren and Beth were both shocked. They missed the sacred promise that was said.

Harry opened the veil that covered Lexi's face, the man smiled broadly, indicating how happy and relieved he was that Lexi was now his. Harry's two burly hands encapsulated Lexi's face which was also adorned with a sweet smile. Harry also eroded the distance of their faces. The man landed his lips on Lexi's forehead for so long and deeply.

Steve smiled wryly as he looked away, "We missed the climax and it's because of you, Darren." Steve lowered his head for the umpteenth time, a tear dripping down the back of his clutched hands. "Welcome to hell, Steven Percy," she said in a bitter, heartbreaking tone.

Darren and Beth took a deep breath. Everything has happened, there are no obstacles at all. Lexi officially bears the name Geonandes behind her name.

Darren patted Steve on the shoulder before leaving to join his family.

"Done. If this is the case, it's time for you to do it to completion. Say congratulations and say a prayer to our newlyweds," Beth's words still contain an annoying scathing innuendo.

Steve shook his head, all he did was look at Lexi who was being mobbed by invited guests.

"Steve!"

The clap on his shoulder made him look. A girl smiled widely, displaying her flower-patterned braces. Thick glasses hung on his sharp nose. Every time he saw the girl, Steve always remembered the old telenovela Betty La Fea.

"Isabel," greeted her with a forced smile.

"Oh, God, I miss you!" Isabel pulled Steve to her feet and dropped into Steve's arms. "I thought I'd die of boredom here. Thanks, God, you're here to save me."

"I'm the one who needs to be saved" the man murmured.

"You say something, Steve?"

"No, let's congratulate the bride." Steve pulled Isabel's hand to circle her arm.

"Your hands are cold, are you nervous?" Steve looked at Isabel who was looking over and over and was worried.

"Your nervousness is in vain, little brother. Austin is not here. He's not present."

Isabel looked quickly at him. A red tinge was clearly imprinted on his cheek. Shame Steve knew what he was thinking and worried about.

"Where is he? It's her sister's happy day."

Steve shrugged his shoulders, "Once you go. Maybe he's doing some very urgent work. You changed your tooth wire? Last time you wore a pink flower."

"You're always so attentive."

"Then marry me, Isabel. Please accept my proposal."

"You look like a desperate man. I'll tell you my answer after we congratulate Harry and Lexi. Oh, my God, I've always admired the beauty Lexi has. She looks so pretty. Harry's a lucky guy! Lexi's...." Isabel squealed as soon as they faced each other.

"Isabella! I thought you weren't coming."

"Harry can hang me if I miss this happy day. Oh, Lexi, I'm glad you're part of Geonandes and I'm upset why you're so easy to give up on Harry."

Harry glared at her, "You don't pity me?"

"You're too lucky!" Isabel threw herself into the arms of her brother. "Congratulations to you, Harry. You got the girl you dreamed of. I'm so happy for you."

"Hi." Steve greets Lexi as casually as possible. It took a lot of effort to put a happy smile on her face.

Yes, there are times when happiness is expressed with tears. But what Steve does is just the opposite. Her tears should be hidden behind her smile.

"Hi," Lexi smiled clumsily. That barrier feels real. The distance was so wide even though they were facing each other. The status of Lexi who had become the mistress of Geonandes became a wall that was so sturdy and high.

"You look so amazing."

"thank you. I'm trying so hard to look perfect" she admitted honestly.

"Your life is not in vain. I missed when you said the sacred promise of marriage. Your brother's talking to me."

Lexi just smiled, not having to respond like what.

"I didn't bring anything for you. Didn't bring the champagne I promised."

"No problem. And the champagne problem you better discuss with my father. Maybe he'll cash in on your champagne debt of 499."

"My father and I were enemies. If I did it would be tantamount to dropping my pride. I'll pay for it, later."

"Pay what, Mr. Ivarez?" Harry joined them. The man hugged his wife's waist possessively. Steve immediately turned his face away, unable to bear to see the affection of this newlywed.

Holy hooch! He suddenly wants to become the Hulk and destroy this place.

"Champagne. Congratulations on your wedding, Harry. Don't let Lexi get out of your sight, because once you're negligent, you're gonna lose her, man. And I'll make you negligent." The last sentence he whispered in Harry's ear so that Lexi did not hear it.

Steve immediately passed as he uttered the ambiguous sentence, leaving a confused twitch on Harry's forehead while Lexi stared at his distant back.

At the gate, a large food delivery truck stopped. Show access card to guard.

"We'll check the contents" exclaimed a guard. "Please open the door."

"This food must be delivered immediately. The invited guests are waiting, are you doubting me? I've brought food here for the Willsons.

The guards face each other, they do know the truck driver. But still they can't be rash.

"Mrs. Willson would be angry if the food was delivered late, "the truck driver urged with anxious and impatient eyes.

"I'll call Mr. Willson first," break up the guard. He doesn't want to risk anything. And when he had taken out a walkie talkie, the sound of gunfire was heard. The driver was thrown out with his head shot.

From the back of the truck dozens of people jumped out complete with their weapons. Terrorists who are conspirators of Arthur Cony come into action.
