"I shouldn't waste a chance."
Maya knew that regretting it would not change everything that had happened. Time passed quickly and difficulties did not hesitate to approach her. Why? What was my fault so all suffering that happens in my life? Why doesn't God love me?
Maya wiped her tears, being weak was not a part of her, she continued to ride her bicycle fast so that she would soon reach her final destination.
There is no other way the only miracle that happened in her life was to meet that man.
Hopefully, the offer isn't over yet.
I hope I still have a chance, I hope the fate that happened to bring me to meet him does not end here.
Dumb prayer, what do you think Maya? I think I've lost my mind ...
With a deep breath, Maya pressed the doorbell of Marve's mansion.
Her face looked down while the sun was starting to rise so high that Maya could feel the heat of the day.
"Come on... I beg you." In despair, Maya could only cry and pray. Hoping if she still has a second chance to take her words.
Ok, I admit I was desperate now. I couldn't stop crying and feeling scared. Maya regretted once again, she shouldn't have rejected that man this morning if she finally ended up begging him now.
"Mr. arrogant ... I am willing to marry you. Please open the door." Maya lowered her head while tapping the tall, towering gate with her remaining tears.
Maya cannot allow her house to be taken, her life may be messy but her brother and aunt's lives must not be messy.
Meanwhile, Marve watched from the screen of her tablet, he deliberately waited in the car how Maya seemed to regret her refusal.
"Money can buy anything." Marve smiled, feeling victorious against her. Then he told the driver to drive the car away from where it stopped on the side of the road.
Meanwhile, Maya is now sitting limp, she is hungry and the problem is making her head hurt. While thinking about how Kania lived comfortably. Maya regretted all the things she did in the past and it ended like this.
She should have waited for her mother's lawyer to come and not listen to Kania's words, maybe her life wouldn't be this bad.
"So you changed your mind?"
Maya raised her face that she had previously drowned in the folds of her hands, the man who seemed to be carrying the sun behind his head stared softly.
Out of nowhere, that happiness came, seeing Marve seemed to see new hope from her life made Maya cry again.
"Marry me..." Maya said sadly. Marve smiled thinly and stroked Maya's hair gently and stretched out his hand, saying "Come in..."
The palace was real...
Maya can't stop turning her head to see from the corner of the magnificent Marve house with a classic style but thick with a clean white atmosphere and many servants who lined up neatly to welcome them. Is this how Cinderella lived after being married to the prince? Like a dream that Maya had never even dared to dream of before.
There are many flowers and in the middle, there is even a rose garden in the greenhouse right in the middle of the room like a place where an angel fell from the sky because Maya could see sunlight shining on it.
"Did I enter a fairy tale?" Maya said without realizing it.
Marve did not answer, the interior design of this house was styled by his mother. Even people who are born rich don't necessarily have this taste.
"Read this." Marve threw a piece of paper on the table, they have now arrived at Marve's office where now there are only two of them.
With a heavy sigh, Maya grabbed the paper and read it slowly and carefully.
"Contract marriage."
Marve walked over and sat at the side of the table near Maya to stand.
"Only six months... You will have all the money but you have to be my perfect wife."
Maya's brown eyes stared at Marve with tension, Marve looked even cooler and the contents of this contract reflected Marve's self very clearly.
There is nothing but forbidding her to fall in love with Marve, which was easy because Maya had never thought about love during this time and six months was not a long time.
Love wouldn't come to her heart especially since Marve had a cold aura that Maya couldn't possibly reach.
"Fine, but I have a few requests regarding my payment."
Marve smiled, this girl is very smart. One billion dollars is not a big deal for Marve maybe this girl investigated his wealth first before accepting this marriage so she wanted to more offer but not a problem.
That sassy, brave girl is what Marve needs to fight her grandfather.
But greed isn't what Marve likes.
"Say it..." After thinking, Marve asked her what Maya would ask, if she asked for more then Marve would cancel it.
"I don't want a billion dollars."
Yes, it looks like this girl, thought Marve.
Marve then took the paper that Maya was holding and returned to his chair.
His face turned cold now.
"I just want you to sponsor my brother and pay for his college and pay off my aunty's debt of three thousand dollars. "
Marve raised his head in surprise at Maya's request, didn't he hear wrong? Only that much? There's no way any woman would hate free money, right?
Maya clenched her fists before finally giving Marve an excuse for refusing the one billion dollar bill. Maya does aspire to have a lot of money, but not in this way.
"I married you not to sell myself to you. I just don't want my family to suffer anymore."
Marve showed his smile again. "Alright .." His answer agreed.
Marve quickly created a new contract letter with the terms Maya wanted and after that they signed it.
"So prepare yourself because we are getting married today," Marve said, shaking Maya's rough hand.
"What?! Today?"
