The Five Billion Wife
Chapter 4. Weddings

Riana looked towards her ex-husband who was standing in front of her. He signaled her to go inside. There was no regret or sadness on Anwar's face. Riana convinced her heart to step forward and would never look back again.

Slowly but surely, Riana stepped forward towards the seat next to the wheelchair-bound man. Although Riana is a woman that has been bought by Mr. Rio, but Riana does not want to be trampled by him. Moreover, Riana did not feel the dime of the money.

Riana sat down without looking at the man who was about to become her husband. Her heart was a little doubtful and very afraid to see the fact, that the man who was about to become her husband had a terrifying face.

Mr. Penghulu has started to say hello and started a wedding ceremony. For some reason, Riana felt guilty to God. Because Riana has a plan to make Mr. Rio release her willingly .

The kabul voice spoken by Rio was barely heard by Riana as Riana was carried away in her own mind. Suddenly, everyone spoke loudly.

"Saaaaah" said everyone present.

Riana flinched and now she is officially the wife of Rio. After signing the marriage certificate and prayer from the pak penghulu howling melodiously, Riana kissed the back of Rio's hand. Until now, Riana still did not dare to see the face of her husband.

Suddenly, Riana looked at her husband's face. However, they will live in one house, even one room and one bed. No matter how ugly she is, she is now her husband. And the paradise is in the hands of her husband.

After kissing the back of her husband's hand, her gaze fell on her ex-husband. Anwar seemed to be smiling happily as he was about to receive money from Mr. Rio.

Riana's heart ached and upset. He hoped that he would make the man regret selling it. Riana practiced looking at the face of Pak Rio who was partially covered with a mask. The face, though only partially visible, appeared smooth and soft. Smoother than Riana's face that rarely goes to the salon.

Rio also returned Riana's gaze. The eyes were as cold as the snow at the North Pole. Riana was already overwhelmed by the responsibility, she ducked down slowly and a kiss on Rio cheek, she purposely gave it to make Anwar jealous.

Riana did not care about Rio's reaction. He instantly retreated without looking towards Rio again. Riana was sure, Rio would not dare to be angry at her in front of so many people. Sure enough, nothing happened after that.

Not at Rio, but Riana's eyes were fixed on Anwar who looked annoyed and jealous. Riana smiled inwardly and she breathed a sigh of relief. His heart was satisfied to have done it.

"Mom Riana, come with Bibik" said Bik Ijah to surprise Riana.

"Oh, good Bik," said Riana nervously.

Riana followed Bik Ijah's steps towards another car. He turns out not to be one car with Rio. Knowing that, Riana was quite happy because she did not need to be afraid due to her actions earlier.

Meanwhile, Rio and Anwar headed to the notary's office. They will do the endorsement of the marriage agreement between Rio and Riana. Although Anwar is upset and jealous to see Riana being friendly towards her new husband, but all of that is covered by the money she will receive from Rio.

Rio's assistant took out a suitcase containing 4.5 Billion dollars, according to a deal they made 5 months ago. While 500 million already Anwar received when Anwar and Riana officially divorced.

Lawyers have prepared the papers they will sign. As the first party, Rio signed those files first. Rio did it calmly and without much thought.

When it was Anwar's turn to sign the papers, Anwar fell silent while holding a pen in his hand. He recalled how he had finally decided to sell his own wife to another man.

At that time, Anwar was accepted to work at the Rio company, ahead of the company's birthday. Anwar who is a new employee, meets with Rio who turns out to be the CEO at the company Anwar works.

"Anwar, don't you want to sell your wife?" rio asked seriously.

"What, selling my wife? Mr. Rio don't joke. My wife is not an item, so I will never sell it" Anwar replied with a smile.

Anwar thought that his Boss would just want to play around with him. Although they sat down to schoolmates, too they were not very familiar.

"Do I look like I'm kidding? I'm not kidding, I'm serious. If you're willing, I'll give you a billion" Rio said more seriously.

"One billion? No, I love my wife very much. She was my first love. I sacrificed a lot to get it. How could I give it to someone else?" anwar asked as he looked at Rio.

"Is a billion still a little? How about five billion rupiahs. I think the money is big enough. You can open your own business and you do not need to work as an ordinary employee" Rio replied trying to convince Anwar.

"Five billion rupiah?" anwar muttered in shock.

Anwar then fell silent. His mind began to waver after hearing the five billion dollars. Anwar has never seen that much money. He would be able to buy anything he wanted without having to bother saving anymore.

"What is all that money?" anwar asked, starting to get upset.

"certain. Five billion is all money. Why do you want to buy my wife? What are you gonna do to him? You want to make her your nap slave or will you be your maid?" asked Anwar curiously.

"I want to marry her. You don't have to worry. I need a wife. My family always insisted that I get married. But, you know I have flaws that not all women will be able to accept," Rio replied then let out a long sigh.

"Alright, as long as Mr. Rio promises to treat my wife well, I will give my wife to you. When will I get the money?" ask Anwar.

"Don't rush. You will receive the money, after I marry your wife. But first you have to do, divorce your wife first. At that time I will give you 500 million as an advance," Rio replied with a cynical smile.

Anwar was speechless at Rio's request. She must divorce Riana. Anwar was confused, not to mention he had no way to talk to Riana about the money. Divorce and others.

"Sir Rio, even though I agree, I have to talk to my wife first" Anwar replied.

"certain. You should think of a way to get your wife to agree. You're a smart man, I'm sure you'll be able to get your wife to agree" Rio said with a sinister smile.

Anwar's daydream came to a halt, after the lawyer touched his shoulder.

"Sir Anwar, please sign" the lawyer said as he watched Anwar daydream.

"Oh, sorry. I just ...."
