"What are you talking about, Vale? Mr. Riu is permanently paralyzed, you may want to marry him" exclaimed Marisa—ibu Vale. He who had just entered the living room, was immediately stunned when he heard his son's words.
"Your mother's right. You're beautiful and smart, son, deserve the perfect man. Not a cripple like Mr. Riu." Sandi chimed in. She is also not willing if her only daughter is married to Riu.
"Don't be a treasure, you're glaring at him. Neither are your parents poor, Vale, more than capable of guaranteeing your future. So, marry a normal man, who can give you offspring. Mama and Papa are also wanting grandchildren." While sitting in front of Vale, Marisa continued to express her disapproval.
However, Vale was silent.
"You said you had a man in London there. So, why do you want to marry Mr Riu now?" connect Marisa. She doesn't know about her son's relationship with Kelvin, because so far Vale has never told her.
"It turns out he's not a nice guy, Ma, his hobby is sleeping with women. So, I failed to target him" Vale replied.
"Then don't ask for anything weird. You're just disappointed, so don't make decisions related to the future. Marriage isn't a toy, Vale." Password speak firmly, and then allowed by Marisa.
"I'm not disappointed, Pa, I just want to get married. But, I don't have a candidate, so I'm interested in Mr. Riu. Even though he's not perfect, I can accept it. The child will be easy to adopt. There are so many orphans out there" Vale replied earnestly. It was as broken as his heart, mind to a dead end and could be said to be desperate.
No wonder, four years is not a short time to be in love. Unfortunately, it ran aground in a tragic way.
Eventually, Vale's parents ran out of words to ban his son. Inevitably they pass the request, on the condition that Riu also agrees. If the young master refuses, Vale also cannot force.
Vale agreed. He thought, the disabled young master is unlikely to reject him. By relying on her beautiful face and master's degree, Vale is sure Riu will be fascinated by her.
"It doesn't matter if he's disabled, the important thing is that I can get married in the near future. That way, Kelvin will see how valuable I am. After all, he was also the young master of the Brox family. Even though he was paralyzed, he was still a person with a name. And marrying her wasn't too bad for my future, "inner Vale, was very much different from what her parents were hoping Riu resolutely refused.
"Well, I want to marry Vale, your daughter."
One earnest answer was heard from across the street, when Sandi called Riu and offered her son.
Sandi and Marisa could only sigh heavily, willingly unwillingly they would let go of her son to marry the disabled young master.

After reaching an agreement, that day also Riu and her father—Jason Brox, came to Vale's house. They visited not empty-handed, but brought a package of jewelry as a proof of Riu's seriousness.
With little resort to it, Sandi and Marisa greeted them kindly. In contrast to Vale, who was more silent because he was surprised to see Riu's appearance.
In his shadow, Riu was a mature man with a mediocre look. Given his flawed condition.
But apparently, Riu's face is very handsome, about seven times that of Kelvin. He also has a pair of charming hazel eyes, but is also sharp. Every look contained charisma and authority that made anyone reluctant. Vale felt small facing Riu.
"But, she had flaws that other women rarely accepted. As for me, there is no shortage of such. So ... still lucky she could marry me," Inner Vale, tried to persuade her own heart and confirmed that she was more than worthy to marry Riu.
"Aren't you disappointed with me?" ask Riu. Although not snapping, but sounding firm.
"No." Vale answered briefly to look confident, even with charisma and authority, Vale also wanted to show it.
After finishing making small talk, Jason and Vale's parents begin to talk about their wedding day. But apparently, even Riu himself who determines the wedding day.
Marisa was surprised, "Why all of a sudden? And ... Why should it be simple? Vale our only daughter. If he gets married, we'll be expecting a big party."
"If Ms. Marisa's not willing, I'm not forcing. We just cancel this marriage" Riu said, leaving Vale shocked.
"Ma, it's okay our marriage is simple. I think it's even better" said Vale.
Although initially received rejection from Marisa, but eventually approved as well. Vale is good at talking and seducing.
In a different mind, Riu and Vale are both relieved that the wedding will be official.
________
After two weeks of waiting, finally Vale and Riu legitimately also became husband and wife. After that night, this is the day they just met again, and immediately married. As per the initial plan, no invitations witnessed their wedding. Only their closest family, no more than ten people.
The wedding takes place in Riu's private house, and Vale will be staying there. In fact, some of his clothes and belongings had already been brought there.
"Sit down!" riu orders when they are already inside the room.
Vale said, sitting sweetly in front of Riu without much protest, although actually still curious why Riu wants to get married suddenly and without a party.
"I have other goals in this marriage" Riu said.
"What?"
"Rights of assets. In the Brox family, only those who are married are entitled to assets. But, my two brothers cheated. They made me in a terrible accident until paralyzed like this, the goal is that no one wants to marry me. That way, all the assets will be theirs."
Hearing Riu's explanation, Vale was very surprised. Didn't expect if a sister could do such a sneaky thing.
"That's why, I married you simply, so that not many would know including them, who are now controlling all of Papa's assets abroad. I can't accept their actions just yet, and I'll make a calculation about it" Riu said.
Vale is still in shock.
"Therefore I am not just looking for a wife, because they must be looking for a gap in my weakness. If the one I marry is simple women, they will definitely oppress and do not rule out the possibility of doing fatal things. I don't have much ability to fight. But you ... were born as the only daughter in the Rusli family, also have a master's degree from the University of London, I'm sure you can protect yourself when I'm not next to you."
Vale was still silent, though inwardly confirming that he would not let anyone oppress him.
"But even so, I'm not going to make this marriage like a contract marriage. I will treat you well, like a husband and wife in general. I won't discuss divorce unless you want it."
Vale took a deep breath. Unexpectedly, marriage because of heartache, it brought him to meet a man with tragic fate.
"Are you angry, Vale?" riu asked, this time with a more fixed gaze.
