The Bride Pay
Uncovered

After an important meeting with company officials, Aaron immediately returned to his room followed by Hayley and Alex.

"Company advantage this month is very fast, cool!" decak Alex happy.

"True, all of our hard work is showing good progress" Aaron added.

Hayley was silent, sitting on the sofa folding her legs, leaning her head against the back of the sofa while staring at the ceiling of the room.

Alex frowned, glancing at Aaron while whispering. "He why? it hurt?"

Aaron shrugged his shoulders briefly as he swept his lips.

"I'm going to my room first" said Hayley.

Aaron and Alex nodded in unison, Alex just stared in surprise, while Aaron was sure, if Hayley's attitude was grim all day because of the incident this morning.

Hayley who arrived in her room was shocked by a light blue box lying on her desk.

"Whose one, huh?" murmuring Hayley, putting aside her slightly dizzy head, she sat down and read a piece of paper on top of the box.

"Gaun for the party later, Aaron." Hayley read the writing.

Sighing deeply, his head was made to throb even more with Aaron's attitude that he could not understand, just this morning they were fighting and accusing each other, this afternoon the man had given him a gift.

Hayley opened the box before her, a bluish-white dress folded pretty in it. He smiled faintly, behind Aaron's annoying attitude, the man could always get Hayley back to get her faded mood.

🖤🖤🖤

The party to be attended is a party organized by the owner of a leading property company in Jakarta, and including one of his coworkers and investors in Aaron's company.

Inevitably, he had to come for the sake of establishing a good cooperative relationship.

"Where's Hayley?" ask Alex. "Well at 7, we'll be late."

Aaron wanted to follow Hayley to his room, but the girl was already standing at the top of the stairs. Staring in awe in disbelief, Aaron almost spilled his saliva.

"Beautiful," Aaron's inner.

A knee-length bluish-white dress with a slightly elongated tail touching the floor, Hayley appeared cinderella-like. The sleeveless dress revealed her smooth shoulders to look so tempting, the low cleavage seemed to be testing the guts of anyone who saw it.

Aaron waited under the stairs, he reached out to welcome Hayley who appeared so beautiful.

Alex whistled loudly, clapping small hands like welcoming a newlywed couple from his contest.

"Ah, you guys fit in!" exclaim Alex.

Hayley smiled timidly, she clasped Aaron's arm affectionately.

Tonight Alex serves as the driver, letting Aaron and Hayley sit in the back seat.

Arriving at the party, Aaron opens the door and helps Hayley out of the car, the arrival of three humans in a warm welcome by the host, let alone Hayley and Aaron who seem so harmonious, steal the attention of all party attendees.

"Welcome to my party, Mr. Aaron," the host said.

"I'm very honored to receive an invitation directly from Mr. John. Introduce, Hayley, my wife," said Aaron proudly, introducing Hayley to his co-workers.

"Ah, of course. I came to your wedding party," said the middle-aged man with a friendly smile.

Conversations roll from one thing to another, some friends join in to add to the warmth of the chat.

Hayley stood beside Aaron still holding the man's arm, but her eyes caught the figure of another man standing not far from them.

The man approached, making everyone turn their eyes and greet kindly.

"Marcel," said Aaron, while the man in the greeting did not answer, his eyes stared focused on Hayley's hand that was coiled affectionately on Aaron's arm.

"You know each other?" ask sir John. "Marcel this is my nephew, Mr. Aaron's."

"Wow, I didn't expect, if you guys still have a kinship," Aaron said in surprise.

"Give greetings to Mr. Aaron and his wife, Marcel," reprimanded Sir John upon seeing his nephew just keeping quiet.

Hayley lowered her head, unable to stare at Marcel's already disheveled face. But the man tried to remain ordinary, talking to the people around him like nothing had happened to him.

Again Aaron smiled triumphantly, he no longer had to bother to tell Marcel that Hayley was his wife, everything was revealed.

Jazz music played soft, making several couples dance in the middle of the event, Hayley sat next to Aaron and Alex, Marcel and some of his co-workers were also still in the same table.

"You dance?" marcel asked, looking at Hayley.

Hayley looked confused, Marcel reached out in front of her, while some of the people around Aaron stared fixedly waiting for Aaron's reaction when his wife was asked to dance by another man.

"Looks like my niece would love to know your wife, Mr. Aaron," said the host.

"That's it, sir."

"Just give them time to dance. Understandably, Marcel's been in the singles for 5 years."

Aaron glanced at Alex, he felt reluctant if he had to reject Marcel's request, especially everyone here is a business partner and investor. Aaron would look so arrogant if he didn't let his wife dance with Marcel.

Alex gestured to allow Hayley to get up from her seat.

"Go away" said Aaron, then lightly tipped Hayley's right cheek, making the girl grin in shock.

If Hayley's heart wasn't permanently embedded in her body, it might have jumped down in shock.

Marcel smiled broadly at Hayley, leading her to a dance area filled with young couples.

Marcel placed his right hand on Hayley's left waist, while his left hand gently grasped the girl's right hand before him.

They move in rhythm with the sound of romantic music played. Hayley just kept quiet, she kept her head down, powerless to look at the gray netra that looked disappointed.

"Tell me, Beautiful. Is it true what my uncle said?" ask Marcel lirih.

Hayley raised her head, taking a deep breath easing the current nervousness.

"Honestly, my feelings will remain the same" Marcel continued.

Hayley just nodded slowly, her lips locked tightly, not knowing where to start.

"Alright, I'm sure your marriage is not based on love. I've been digging up a lot of information about Aaron and his ex-girlfriend who just avalanche from the world of martyrdom."

"A lot of information I got, including Aaron's parents' request that his son get married soon, otherwise Aaron would be knocked out of his seat of greatness."

"Hayley, I want you to tell me everything, it'll hurt even more if I know this truth from someone else."

Hayley looked up again, a drop of clear grain escaped from her eye patch.

"We were married 8 months ago. But, this marriage will end in 4 months, in accordance with the agreement we signed," Hayley replied.

"You're giving me a chance?" ask Marcel expectantly.

"I don't promise."

"Why? have you grown up feeling for Aaron?"

Hayley shook her head slowly, again confused by her feelings.

There was a hint of his heart wanting to be with Marcel, but his habit of coexisting with Aaron made him a little hesitant.

From a distance, Aaron continued to look at Hayley and Marcel with jealousy, an angry feeling like he was gnawing at him.

At the peak of his patience, Aaron no longer heeded the chatter of those around him, he walked up to the dance floor and pulled Hayley from Marcel's grasp.

Turning Hayley's body abruptly, dropping the girl in his arms, Aaron clenched tightly, grabbed the girl's waist and smeared his lips without excuse.

Marcel was only surprised, staring at the idol with another man, he chose to leave the party.
