Not a Show Wife
Chapter 5: The mad match.

His aunt and uncle walked ahead of Elisha, they wanted to talk about what happened last night. Elisha walked a little quickly beside them.

"Uncle" said Elisha. This uncle is the younger brother of his father, his face is indeed very similar to the father. But his attitude was very different. Uncle Charly was more assertive but a bit rude, he did not hesitate to beat his son if they did not obey the man's orders.

"Elisa, we're talking inside the house." Uncle Charly walked ahead as if it was his own home. Elisha nervously played his finger while gulping occasionally. His throat was dry, Nori was seen thrusting Elisha into a drink. The woman grabbed him, and continued to follow the old man and his wife.

Without Elisha's permission, the man sat in the living room flicking the coat he was wearing backwards so as not to be occupied. "Elisa, sit!" His uncle asked Elisha to sit down, and Elisha nervously sat down slowly.

"Uncle-" Elisha's words stopped seeing his uncle who wanted to speak first.

"Elisa, I've heard everything your aunt says." His uncle looked at Elisha seriously. Elisha was afraid, this time he was wrong. He wasn't supposed to trap Sky like last night, no matter what punishment his uncle was going to give, Elisha didn't know.

"How could you do such a despicable thing? This morning, the man named Sky told me everything. If you're both interested you get married!" Uncle smiled.

Elisha opened his mouth slightly, he was shocked and widened. How could he marry the man who took over his house. "Uncle-" His words were again cut off by the words of his uncle.

"Elisa, this house will still be yours, if you marry her right?" His uncle smiled, what made his uncle have such thoughts. Elisha did not know.

"Uncle! The man had already taken this house by force! Why did my uncle ask me to marry him?" Elisha frowned, Nori was surprised because only this time he saw the look on Elisha's face as angry as that.

"Elisha! How dare you raise your tone of voice to me!" Uncle bluffs.

"What does uncle mean? What did he give to uncle so that uncle had such thoughts?" Elisha stood up and looked at the man sharply.

"You're a little net!" Uncle Charly slapped Elisha right on his cheek.

Elisha held onto his hot cheek, "Your age is no longer young! You can still sell expensive like that! You know, I asked you to marry that man so that our family's good name wouldn't be tarnished by your disgrace!" His uncle stood looking at Elisha sharply, while his aunt looked at Elisha with disgust.

"Only you know this! If our names are smeared, it must be because you spread my disgrace!" Elisha looked at his uncle and aunt sharply, he squinted his eyes. A sense of tightness in his chest, pushing tears out flowing down the woman's cheeks.

"Damn it!" Almost, the hand landed on Elisha's cheek again. Thankfully, another burly hand managed to hold his uncle's hand. Elisha was surprised to see who managed to help him escape the slap, it was Sky!

"Mr Charly, I don't think there's any need for violence here. I'd at least like it, if a man dares to hit a woman." Sky looked at the man sharply.

"Uh-Mister Sky.. I'm sorry, I just wanted to discipline my nephew. What he did to you, it's just so despicable." Uncle Charly put on a sorry look.

"You don't have to do it, I'll take care of it myself" Sky said.

"And your idea was pretty good. Marrying us was the easiest thing. I don't need to feel guilty for having to take over this house and this farm." Sky grinned, his beard and mustache adding to the man's good looks.

"You crazy?" Elisha glared towards Sky. The man smirked then slightly bowed to Elisha and drew closer to the woman's ears.

"I won't let you live for free in this house." whispered Sky in Elisha's ear.

"Elisha! Listen uncle. You want to leave all this relic of your father?" He said he looked hard at Elisha.

Elisha looked at his uncle, his knees were limp, he shook his head . Elisha fell on the floor crying. The house and the ranch are both relics of the parents he loved so much.

"Anyway I have to, reclaim this house." Elisha sat in, the house is the most precious treasure for him now. Even more than the life of Skandar, his brother. He must keep his house.

"Alright, I accept your offer." Elisha stared intently at his uncle, the man immediately smiled and approached Elisha, wanting to hug him.

"Good, uncle is glad you're finally getting married. Now I'm done taking responsibility for you." Uncle smirked.

"I'm sorry, it's been bothering you all this time." Elisha threw away his gaze from the kneeling man and held his shoulder.

"Let's go downstairs and talk about this directly with your aunt and future husband." His uncle tried to wake Elisha.

"No! Arrange as you like, I just want to rest now." Elisha let go of his uncle's grip, and he went up to the bed.

"Alright, take good care of yourself until the wedding day. Don't try to do anything silly." His Uncle said as he sauntered downstairs to meet Sky.

The man closed the door of Elisha's room, he walked down the stairs slowly. With a happy face, the man met everyone there. Only one person looked worried, Nori. The old woman immediately followed Elisha into the room.

"He agreed." His uncle told Sky.

"Good end, congratulations Mr. Sky." Elisha's aunt touched the man's arm.

Sky just stared at him flatly, then let go of that touch. Sky was already on his way to the city. But there was something left in the room, so he went back to the house. Sky walked out without speaking a word, he grabbed the cigarettes and matches in his pocket. The man began to put the cigarette in his mouth as usual, after the cigarette was lit he slowly smoked it.

Uncle Charly appeared behind him, the two of them were now in the courtyard of the house while staring at the farm in front of them. Sky turned his head towards the man, "You shouldn't have hit him earlier." Sky said as he swiped his cigarette again.

"I'm sorry, sir, I'm carried away by emotions." Apparently Uncle Charly is one of the members of Moschino¹. As the greatest bookie in the city, of course, making Sky a lot of people in his circle. Besides the people who had taken it upon themselves, he certainly had many enemies.

The man snorted softly, then dropped the cigarette butt and stepped on it. Charly was also one of Sky's destinations. But for now, he can't destroy the man, given the man's status as a prosecutor. He was determined to wipe out all Michigan ancestry to its roots.

Sky walked away from Charly alone, the man got into his car again and drove back to the city. Uncle Charly who saw him snorted in annoyance, "Fuck! If it's not Moschino's leader, I've destroyed you!" Said Uncle Charly cursing to Sky.
