In front of the guests, Selena and James kissed. They have officially become husband and wife. James' mother was happy to see her son no longer single. Having a daughter-in-law was one of Jessica's greatest hopes before she died.
In Jessica's arms was a baby girl wearing a cute flower-shaped headband. The baby was dressed in all white like the other guests at the wedding, and in the arms of the two babysitters were two baby boys in suits the same color as James's. Jessica held Selena's baby with mixed feelings. Jessica thought the baby in her arms was her biological grandchild, but that was wrong.
"Selena, James, mommy is very happy with your marriage. Mommy wants you to take good care of your relationship, so that your relationship will continue until you are old." Jessica advised the newlyweds.
The wedding day was only desired by Jessica, not by Selena and James who did not love each other. Jessica has invited a lot of her friends and acquaintances. Showing off to them all that his favorite son, his only son, was married. Jessica's happiness now cannot be measured in words.
The public was shocked by the relationship between James and Selena, many people did not think that James had let go of his single life and married a woman. Many parties also actually do not like this relationship, the matchmaking they planned has failed miserably. James, the successful businessman, is already owned by another woman. Such was the resentment in their hearts.
James is more silent, drinking more and eating more food, diverting his feelings and attention in that way. Still unable to accept this marriage completely, he didn't want to say much just yet. Let his mother talk to Selena. It will give James space and time to be alone.
"Hey, why are you quiet? Don't want to alone with your wife?"
A greeting sounded in James' ears, who came in front of him now were three men in gray, navy and white suits. The three of them were close friends of James who have invited guests at the party.
"Don't say silly things! James needs some alone time. He's still in shock at this moment, well as men, our instincts for freedom are no less different than women."
"Brian, you're too honest," said James' friend in a white suit. "He must be thinking of a way to get to the bar now without his wife nagging him."
"You're just here to add to the burden on my mind?" James asked sarcastically. Luckily, his Sudanese friends are used to it.
"After you guys are done with this wedding ceremony, where will you honeymoon?" asked Gery, James' friend in the gray suit.
"Ah! That... Let my mother think about it," answered James.
"Your mother?" Brian said. "Aunt Jessica is very excited, don't let her disappoint you. Surely your mother really wants to have grandchildren as soon as possible."
"Tsk, shut up. That sounds embarrassing," said James.
"Brian, I told you not to talk too much about things that don't make James comfortable," said Chocky.
Brian rolled his eyes lazily, "Yeah, yeah, I know. Why don't you just be James' brother? You're too protective of James."
Chocky shook his head slowly. He then looked at James. "For your mining business which I finished yesterday, don't think too much. Just focus on your marriage, your wife is waiting for you. Look, she's glancing at you now."
James who was curious immediately turned to his left side, he found Selena who was staring at him from a distance. Selena, who felt caught by James looking at her then looking away, must have been very embarrassed.
"She's a very lucky woman to be able to melt an iceberg," said Chocky.
"I'll keep doing my job," said James. "You don't have to bother yourself. Your wedding date with Monica is just around the corner. You have to prepare everything."
"James, don't push yourself. Besides, I told you earlier that everything was done right? So you don't need to do anything else there, everything is done. Monica and I have also prepared everything. Don't worry about me, enjoy your wedding moment with Miss Selena. Don't let the early moments of your marriage not have intimate memories that you can remember," said Chocky.
James doesn't want to reply to Chocky's words, he chooses to keep a secret from anyone about his marriage to a woman he doesn't love. But deep down in James' heart, he wasn't happy with the wedding because he still didn't want to be serious about any woman.
"Let's take a picture together," said Brian.
Brian then asked the photographer to take a picture of him and the other wedding guests, and of course James and Selena were at the center of the photo.

It was a beautiful and pleasant day, sadly all the fun and beauty were just fake. And the only ones who know about it are James and Selena.
Selena glanced at James, James had a flat expression on his face. Doesn't look happy. His smile is so thin, that he can't voice his heart. Wrong with her heart that rejects reality, Selena is just a place for James' lust and a baby-producing machine. But not with the fate that James got, he had to marry a woman he didn't love.
The wedding ceremony was lively and full of joy. James and Selena also performed a flower-throwing ritual, which the wedding guests had been waiting for. Everyone was so excited waiting for the flowers that Selena and James threw.

Hands touching, Selena gasped. James didn't feel anything, didn't react, he was so cold and relaxed. Seeing this, Selena also tempered her feelings, not feelings of love, but enough to tear up Selena's surfaces. What woman doesn't blush when she holds hands with a man who has become her husband?
"Don't get carried away, remember that you and I are no more bound by a pact."
James rebuked Selena. In James' eyes, Selena had hoped for more in this situation. Even though at any moment, it will still taste bland and unimpressive for James, who has no feelings for Selena. No matter if Selena tried to get closer to James, James would still act normal and untouchable.
Selena who heard that just nodded, and lowered her head. Selena wants to feel the beauty of an intimate moment with her husband, it's just that reality hits Selena again, who apparently hopes too much.
"Let's throw the flowers!" exclaimed the presenter.
Selena and James then threw the flower buckets in their hands.
James and Selena's life will never be the same again, it all starts now.
