Stuck Wedding With Play Boy
Chapter 18

Alex, who reached home, rushed to Kanaya to discuss the advice of his colleagues at the meeting. 

"I'm going to have a party, to officially introduce you to all of them" Alex said. Now he sits at the dining table.

Kanaya almost choked on hearing Alex's words. Did he really want to introduce her as his wife to the rest of the world? A party means the press will pick it up and all the women may be present. 

"Does that matter?" ask Kanaya. He is comfortable like this, after all this is also a fake marriage and will not last long.

"You think?" alex looked back at him.

Kanaya shrugged and said, "I don't like."

While Alex seems confused, every woman wants to marry him, why is he always different? Alex thought in his mind.

"What do you mean by not liking it?" ask Alex.

"I don't want to be dragged into your life any further. What else is simply disguised as a wife" Kanaya replied. "Let's put it this way, no one knows that you will also be free" said Kanaya.

Alex's brows furrowed, "Where did you get all those words, the disguise of a wife?"

"Why do you suddenly want the public to know about our marriage?" 

Alex opened his mouth and closed it, he was at a loss for words to say. 

"I'm .. I, it'll be good for my image" Alex said at the end. "You're the hardest woman I've ever met in my entire life" Alex continued.

Kanaya's eyes flared up, "I won't let you treat me like a toy, never will."

Kanaya no longer wants to be played by men a second time.

"Whatchu mean? Is introducing a wife like a toy?"

"That has something to do with it," Kanaya replied immediately.  "You will introduce me as your wife for all to see. Then after the party you will return to your playboy life, and I will be told to be the most miserable woman, as a broken-hearted wife, not Alex. I won't participate in the game show you're going to play" Kanaya complained. He took out all the pieces he had in mind.

"You have to, you have no choice" Alex said, gritting his teeth.

"I don't want to" said Kanaya.

After saying that, he got up to leave but his next words stopped him.

***

Kanaya hears the guests coming as she sits in front of the dressing table, she has to meet them, even she has never met them at all. For her husband it was just a show, whenever he thought she had feelings for him, he always made a disappointing ending. 

Kanaya looked at herself in the mirror. Life is a mess? She had a dream then, finished college, then married a man who would love and cherish her at any moment of her life, but that dream was gone. 

 Because of Doni, he has not even been able to finish his studies, he has escaped from the traitorous Doni and Nisa. However, he is trapped in a playboy marriage.

Kanaya saw that her face looked pale, she applied a little to improve her color before applying red lipstick, oa wore a nice black color to complement her skin, making her big brown eyes more clear and visible. 

"Wow, you look so pretty," praised Sary coming into Kanaya's room.

"I don't feel that way Sary, I don't want to meet all those people" Kanaya said.

 Sary frowned at the words of his mistress' wife, "Why? This party is organized for you. And to let people know that Mr. Alex has such a beautiful wife."

Sary sighed in despair, "I don't know why it's hard for you to believe that your husband loves you. Why would he do that if he didn't? I've known him for a long time and trust me that he actually loves you."

Kanaya shook her head, "That's what I think, but she always proves me wrong, so I won't believe her anymore. I appreciate your concern, but trust me when I say she has no feelings for me."

Sary shook her head, she had never seen a stubborn person, it was clear that they both loved each other but refused to acknowledge their feelings. He sighed, changed the topic, hopefully they soon realized their feelings, it was good to see the two of them happy.

"I was asked to call you" Sary told Kanaya, who once again looked in the mirror, she nodded once before following her down.

"Gentlemen, this is my beautiful wife, the woman who really stole my heart," Alex said, introducing Kanaya as she walked down the stairs, guests turned to her, clapping and whistling.

Kanaya blushed, she felt like running back upstairs, but she gritted her teeth and continued walking towards Alex and hugged him. 

Alex brought his mouth closer to Kanaya's ear and whispered, "Smile."

Kanaya looked at him for a moment, her eyes shooting sharply at him before returning to the guests and forcing a smile, the guests immediately approached them, one after another, congratulating them.

A young businessman walked towards them, his gaze never leaving Kanaya and Alex.

Alex is aware of that, he is not happy with how he looks at his wife. However, he harbored it himself without revealing it because many guests had come.

"Thank you for coming" Alex said briefly as the man approached her, shaking hands with her and Kanaya.

"My name is Stefan and I have to say, your wife is beautiful" he said.

Alex felt like punching him in the face, having dared to blatantly praise his wife. But he managed to hold back.

"I know and I'm so glad she's my wife." Alex says the wife word possessively so Kanaya looks at him, wondering what is wrong with him.

Now Kanaya reached out her hand to shake Stefan's hand, but instead shook hands. He quickly grabbed her hand and pecked at the back of her hand. He wriggled and quickly removed his hand from his grasp.

Stefan smiled, "Let's dance with me!"

Without waiting for an answer, Stefan took Kanaya's hand to dance.

"You don't dance with her?" ask Stefan.

Kanaya quiet.

"What did he see, was he really jealous?" kanaya murmured in her heart while glancing at Alex who was now blushing as if holding back anger. 

Kanaya silently smiled. Alex is jealous of this guy.

"That's enough" said Kanaya, ending the dance, but it was not ten minutes.

"I warn you not to play with fire …."

"Or I'll burn" Kanaya said, finishing Alex's statement for him.

Now they stare at each other, eyes sparkle with emotion, what they feel for each other but refuse to be recognized as seen in that gaze.

"Am I interrupting something?" A woman said and the two of them turned their heads towards the voice.

Alex was silent when he saw who was standing in front of them and Kanaya. He's seen this face before, he's in magazines with Alex, his first love, what is he doing here? Did Alex invite him? Think Kanaya.
