ARRANGED MARRIAGE

CHAPTER 5

"No, I just wanted to make an offer. Marry me and all this money will be yours," Lucas tried to explain the offer.For some reason he felt that the terms could be mutually beneficial to both of them. Especially the elders that wanted a marriage so that Lucas could get all the inheritance.

What Lucas said was a very strange offer, according to Joana. In fact, she thought Lucas was just playing around, to talk about marriage. Even if it was true, of course Joana needed to consider it carefully. She couldn't just take it for granted, especially now that the atmosphere was unsupportive and made Joana hurt.

Not only that, Joana began to be afraid of seeing Lucas' face. She started to think the man in front of her might kidnap her. Which sane person would ask to marry on the first day of their meeting?

Lucas was a jerk she had met at a nightclub. In fact, Lucas is also one of the men who dared to seduce her earlier to accompany him. So, considering his invitation, Joana might not be easy to accept. The answer is only one, namely a refusal.

Joana's vague memory of Lucas was still vivid. She did not accept Lucas, who suddenly came with a presumptuous will. It wasn't over about Lucas' behavior at the club, now the man had come again. He added an offer with the intention of buying Joana's self-esteem using his money.

This is very strange when he could marry all the women in his country, considering he has a handsome face and abundant wealth.

"How dare you say that? What do you think I am?" Joana asked, raising her right eyebrow.

"You feel great, because you can buy people's pride with your money? Huh, don't be proud!" Joan snapped. Her words hit Lucas' heart and made the man fall silent.

Joana's behavior made Lucas think that the girl was completely different from the women he had ever met.

After a few minutes, Lucas took out his suitcase again. He showed Joana that his intention to invite the girl to come was not just a trivial matter. There is something to be shown. After being pointed at, Joana really gasped. Lucas opened another suitcase he was carrying.

"If I speak with this evidence, can you refuse it?" continued Lucas. He smiled as he played with both pairs of eyebrows.

Joan was silent. She glanced at the black suitcase containing the money that was scattered over a fantastic amount . As an innocent girl and common to such luxurious things, Joana immediately gulped. Shella shook her head while blinking her eyes.

"Focus... how can I melt when I see that much money?"

No other way. Joana is reluctant to hide her interest in the nomination that is in front of her eyes. This is really tempting and there is no say no for Joana to quit.

"I think I can consider. Wait, I need to think," said Joana. The girl turned around and nodded her head. Her smile widened, then her mind couldn't lie to keep thinking about everything that had happened. It would be a shame if Joana refused, because there, she really had a golden opportunity.

"How? Hey, don't take too long. I need your answer!"

Lucas, who was born flat, can only be indifferent and indifferent to Joana. He just wanted to receive a yes or no answer from the girl's mouth, because there was not much time to think further.

"Give me proof that this is not a scam, if you can prove it. I am ready to marry you."

"Is this amount of money less for you?" Lucas asked again.

"How much is this money anyway?" Liona seemed to be pretending to be nonchalant now, she wanted to play a little harder.

"One million dollars!"

"Ah, just a million. What, a million dollars?" Liona was surprised and half screamed as she repeated Lucas' words. Her eyes really looked like they were going to jump when he heard the name the man in front of her said.

Feeling that the money offered by Lucas was of a large nominal value, Joana could not help but accept the offer. She is very happy, because she got two birds in one shot.

There, she will live happily with Lucas' family and become part of his family. Joana will definitely get a lot of luxuries.

Many appreciate it, many also look at her with submissiveness and courtesy. Remembering, while living in the hands of her uncle and aunt, Joana couldn't be as free as she is now. Even laughing is wrong.

Joana received the payment from Lucas in cash. She kept the money well, no one knew about it.

Some time later, the courtyard of the hall was filled with guests. The event was very crowded. The guests who thought they had run out now looked even more boisterous. They came and almost made this place not enough.

"That's a lot of guests, huh?"

"Yes. They are guests from my father. Don't dream these are guests from you, okay," Lucas said.

"Yeah. I see. You take it easy. I live alone in this city, so I realize I don't have any relatives or friends."

They were both silent. The throne where they sat now seemed to be packed with Lucas's friends. Many have posed with the man and they are very close.

"Lucas is not a random person. He is really rich. He has many friends. As for me?" Joan thought.

The wedding, which was held in such a grand manner, did not seem in vain. Many came to the event, making Joana tired of welcoming them.

From this moment on, it is certain that Joana was a member of the Chelis family, Joana Chelis of Jhon Chelis and the granddaughter of Mia Chelis. That means he has the authority to act and have power.

However, unlike the beauty she imagined, Joana's life was not filled with violence. But, it turns out to be lonely. Living in a luxurious house with many servants still makes Joana low in Lucas' eyes. Not infrequently, she was treated unfairly by social standards, according to Lucas.
