Not Cinderella
Cancel the Engagement

Tonight at a fancy restaurant. Zayden was already sitting with his flat face. In front of him has presented dishes that are appetizing. But he has not touched at all.

After driving Alyssa home earlier, Zayden went straight to Jimmy's apartment to change clothes and immediately went to this festivity.

She's waiting for Anabella here. Tonight he has to make a big decision. That will change his life destiny. Zayden knew this was hard enough and would definitely have a bad effect on his life going forward. Moreover, this marriage is a business marriage to support their respective companies. The Zega Company and Alexander Company are two large companies that, when combined, will become giant and influential companies. That's what makes Mr. Juanda so eager for Zayden to marry Anabella.

But really, Zayden really can't afford to ignore his feelings. It's hard, but he has to do this.

He has the right to make his own choices.

Zayden turned to the door of the room he ordered tonight. A beautiful girl in her red dress came up with a smile as bright as the sun.

Anabella, a beautiful model with perfection who became the scramble of everyone, but has not been able to make Zayden fall in love with her charm.

"Hi Zay, sorry I'm late. I just finished my shoot" Anabella said as she approached Zayden. He wanted to kiss Zayden on the cheek, but Zayden immediately dodged.

"Sit down Bel. There's something I want to talk about" Zayden said

Anabella pursed her lips, she was annoyed, but Zayden was like that. He always didn't want to touch her. And that's what made Anabella really fall in love with him.

"Hmmm... All right, is this about our engagement?" anabella asked as she sat in her chair. Right in front of Zayden.

"Yes" replied Zayden, as his hand poured water into Anabella's glass.

"Do you want me to buy Zay's ring. Grandpa said you haven't prepared our engagement ring yet" Anabella asked.

Zayden sighed for a moment while handing over the glass of wine he poured to Anabella.

Anabella accepted it with pleasure.

"I'm not going to buy a ring for our engagement bell" Zayden replied.

Anabella frowned confusedly.

"Then? have you prepared it yet?" ask Anabella again.

But Zayden nodded slowly.

"Bella, before that I wanted to apologize to you" Zayden said.

Anabella was still speechless with her puzzled look.

"I want to cancel our engagement"

deg

Anabella gasped at hearing that.

"Zay. don't joke around" Anabella said.

But Zayden immediately shook his head and looked closely at Anabella.

"I'm sorry. But I can't continue that business marriage. I can't force my heart Bel" Zayden said.

Anabella seemed to shake her head in disbelief at what Zayden said.

"No, you can't do that. This decision is unanimous. Even between your grandfather and my father had a deal. Only two weeks left, Zay. Don't be crazy!" anabella. He really did not accept Zayden's decision.

Zayden sighed for a moment.

"Tomorrow I'll come to Mr. Alex to talk about this. Ii'm sorry. I really can't. Before it's too late" Zayden said again

Anabella shook her head strongly.

"I don't want Zay. And I'm sure neither my father nor your grandfather would agree with your decision. You can't just decide. All those who govern" Anabella said.

"Zay, you can't insult me like this. All engagement invitations are already scattered. Even the media already know if we're getting engaged. You can't seem like this" Anabella looks so upset..Even her red face held back the cries now.

Zayden grabbed Anabella's hand and lowered her from her arm.

"Sorry Bella. But I can't have a relationship without love. I can't" Zayden replied

Anabella was surprised to hear that.

"Is there another woman you love?" ask Anabella. His eyes are glass now.

"Yes, I have my own choice. Ii'm sorry. I will definitely be responsible for all these matters" Zayden replied.

"Zayden.

Zayden rubbed Anabella's arm at a glance.

"I'm sorry" said Zayden. And after saying that he immediately left Anabella.

Anabella immediately sat down in the chair limp and tears were shed on her beautiful face.

He really did not expect that Zayden would just cancel their engagement. An engagement that's only two weeks away.

Anabella shook her head slowly, her eyes sharpened, even her hands clenched strongly.

No, he did not accept this unilateral decision. He did not accept this insult. If the engagement is cancelled, then the good name of him and his family will definitely be tarnished.

No. gabe..

Anabella won't let that happen.

He must meet with Mr. Juanda immediately. Mr. Juanda must be against Zayden's wishes. Because after all, it was the old man who always doctored everything about young master Emanuel.

...

While at Alyssa's house...

Alyssa sat behind the house with an unsettled heart.

He looked up at the sky where that night again the sky was full of stars and the moon was shining quite brightly.

But honey, it's not as bright as Alyssa's heart right now.

Her heart was really agitated, considering what happened to Zayden and his future fiancee tonight. This is going to be a big deal. Not only because of their high social status differences. But it turns out Zayden is also getting engaged to someone else.

And because of Alyssa, Zayden called off the engagement.

Alyssa let out a heavy sigh.

What if everyone was going to be mad at him. Alyssa's not who, but she's messed up all of her.

The engagement was to be done in two weeks, but was instead cancelled by Zayden just for wanting to vote for him.

But really, Alyssa couldn't budge either. His heart really loves Zayden. Zayden would not give up anyway. Look at how he's been struggling all this time. The man was even willing to incarnate as an ordinary person just to be beside Alyssa. Rela left her prospective fiance only for Alyssa, and willing to take care of her grandfather in order to be with Alyssa.

Is Alyssa evil?

I don't know...

His love struggle will be so hard.

Especially before leaving Zayden had time to say if there was a chance, Zayden would take Alyssa to see her grandfather.

That's where Alyssa has to prepare her heart.
