"Don't worry about him, he's just surprised, I'm sure he'll like you" Alex looked at Naya who was now nodding.
"You better get changed and rest, if you need something, the waiter will help you" Alex said.
Kanaya moved her head nervously, she had nothing. She had escaped with only her wedding dress now ripped and dirty.
Alex pulled out his phone dialing some numbers, "I want you to come to my house as soon as possible, and come up with your women's clothing catalog!"
After hanging up the phone, Alex looked at Kanaya, "There will be a boutique owner coming, choose whatever you want when she comes, I'll come back later."
Naya again nodded as Alex stood up and left him.
Alex walks down the stairs and heads to his papa's room, he has mixed feelings about returning home. It had been two years since he left this house, at that time he had a bitter quarrel with his father. He wants to be an artist. He loved his hobby of painting, but his father strictly forbade, he wanted himself to become a businessman who would later become the heir of his company.
Alex doesn't know about business but his papa who always follows him has ruined his dream as a painter. He who is upset goes to Zuna, the house where his fiancee lives. He came to seek comfort and entered without knocking on the door, he bought a house for him and his fiancee. For him it was a hiding place whenever he quarreled with his papa, but that day, he did not tell him that he was coming.
While with her fiancee was talking to her cell phone.
"You know you're the one I love, I just followed him because of the money" Zuna said.
Alex doesn't believe what he just heard, maybe he's referring to someone and not himself.
"Alex bought me this luxurious house, the most beautiful clothes and definitely a limited edition. Bountiful money, just wait for me to be okay, I definitely won't marry her, I plan to get more money and then I'll be yours completely, dear."
"I won't let him touch me. I'm only yours, he's only there for the money I promised, he's just a fool who only exists for my needs. I love you too, don't love Alex" Zuna said and made a kissing sound as she hung up
"I see, so I'm just your money-making machine" Alex said
Zuna heard a familiar voice, she jumped in shock, her eyes widened, her body trembled and nervous, "How can you say that, you must have misheard, I love you."
Zuna approached, trying to explain to Alex. He wrapped his arm around Alex's neck, but he pushed him.
"We're done," said Alex. "You better get your clothes on yesterday, and then go," Alex pushed. He was too stupid to love a woman like her. He promised himself that he would never trust a woman.
A flash of the shadow disappeared as he entered his papa's room and saw him lying on the bed with his eyes closed, he looked old and tired. While he felt guilty for leaving her, his father was the only family he had a blood relationship with, his mother having died many years ago. His father had remarried, according to him, and he had made the wrong choice because he had married his late mother's best friend.
"The doctor said he'd be fine" said Maria, speaking from behind him.
"And you might be happy because he's in this condition" Alex said. He knew the purpose of his stepmother.
"I love your father and will never hurt him. I'm a little bit like this to you" explained Maria.
"Even if he's your best friend's husband?" alex asked with tears welling up in his eyes and Alex felt a little guilty for the words that had just come out of his mouth. But, he could not hold it anymore.
Alex realizes that he has not been able to accept the fact that he is married to his father, but he is still his father's wife and demands of modesty should he show a little to his taste. Although he was basically very lazy to pretend.
"I know you don't like the fact that I'm married to your father, but you have to accept it, we're family now, and I love you and your father," mary turned and left him alone in the room.
Alex looked at his back which was now invisible. Alex sat on the edge of the bed, as soon as the memory hit him, his return had brought back many painful memories, he remembered when he first left the house, he was driven by such heartache that he frequented many bars and gambling houses, he got into fights and his papa would be called, it made him noticed. He did it all because he wanted to vent all his anger. Now he regrets. Hope this regret is not too late.

Kanaya was sitting on the bed, getting ready to take a shower. However, he heard a knock on the door, and he saw who was coming.
"Why did you marry her?" asked Maria with a cold look at her tone.
Kanaya was silent, there was no way she could answer because she needed help.
"I had arranged for her to marry my best friend's daughter" said Maria looking at Kanaya with disdain. "Is it because of money or status?" ask Mary again.
Kanaya was aghast, she did not even realize who she had married. If he knew the man was rich, he probably wouldn't have asked Dama for help.
"How much money do you want?"
"What?" Kanaya managed to pant amidst her confusion.
"Hundred million? Yeah, that means you want to get out of her life after I give you that money?"
