The situation was so chaotic now that Claudia suddenly wanted to swap grooms, even though the wedding was two weeks away. Therefore, Claudia called a meeting of the families of both parties to explain all this. However, Harris did not attend this meeting because he was unable to face his lover who had betrayed him.
Despite the detailed explanation, Harry still didn't understand what Claudia had in mind. He was not focused on this meeting, what he was thinking about now was how to get through this meeting quickly. Moreover, he really hated attending boring meetings.
"Are you sure about your decision, Claudia?" asked Roger, the father and head of the Harperwood family.
"I made the wrong decision from the start. I should have chosen Harry as my life partner." Claudia flashed a flirtatious smile and embraced Harry's hand.
His hand being held like glue made Harry feel disgusted. He tried to break the embrace, but his parents kept glaring at him. He was forced to pretend to be sweet in front of Claudia to avoid being reprimanded.
"Yes, I actually liked Claudia all along. But unfortunately Harris moved faster than me. I didn't expect Claudia to have the courage to break off her engagement with Harris suddenly in order to live with me."
"But, are you sure you can take care of my daughter? Can you guarantee that her life will be happier if she marries you?" Natasha, Claudia's mother still didn't fully trust Harry.
"Did you forget? I will do everything in my power to protect Claudia from any threat."
Claudia laughed awkwardly while leaning her head on Harry's shoulder. In her heart she felt that Harry was really over the top when it came to acting about romantic relationships.
"Harry is the most gentleman I've ever met. Just trust him."
*****
After attending a very boring family meeting, Harry wants to get rid of this curse as soon as possible. However, it wasn't so soon that he could return to his residence. This time it was Claudia's turn to invite Harry to talk in her room, because there were still important things she wanted to discuss with Harry regarding their married life later.
"It turns out you're very hypocritical when talking in front of our parents! The hell you said you regretted choosing my brother in the first place!" Harry swore while girdling his loins.
Claudia raised her right eyebrow, slowly stepping closer to Harry's body. "Meanwhile, you're a hypocrite yourself. You say you like me, but we've hardly ever seen each other face to face!" In the end, their bodies bumped into each other as Harry couldn't walk backwards anymore in the corner of the wall.
Relying on his muscular body, he turned his body while touching Claudia's shoulder, so that now their positions were switched. Seeing Harry's gestures of wanting to touch her lithe body at will, Claudia swallowed saliva nervously. Her hands were still trembling as she gripped Harry's coat.
"Are you sure you won't be afraid of me? I'm not playing around now. Now I'm giving you one last chance. Are you really going to marry me?" Harry scolded, touching the pointed chin in front of him with an intense gaze.
Claudia was actually very afraid of marrying Harry because she couldn't live happily with a murderer. This frightening face in front of her, she felt like stabbing it many times with her dagger. Moreover, now she was very worried about one more thing, what if she would be killed one day before the mission was successfully carried out? Is this really the right decision to survive hell?
To cover her fear, Claudia tried to pretend to be strong in front of this monster. With a sweet smile, she stroked the soft cheek before her and pressed her nose against the sexy lips.
"I won't regret marrying you. Why would I fear you? You're a human, not a demon."
His heart fluttered slightly as he heard those rare words spoken from his own fiancée. Just listening to those words made Harry unable to control the pounding of his heart for the first time. Originally a cruel gaze, it now turned into a sad gaze.
Would Harry immediately show his happiness just because of that one sentence? Of course not, because he was known as a character who always maintained his dignity, unless Claudia really managed to conquer his heart completely.
Harry immediately moved away from Claudia's body while looking away. "Well, if you're determined. I want you to obey what I tell you to do while you're my wife."
"What should I do?"
"First, you must not divorce from me someday. For whatever reason."
Claudia laughed lightly as she folded her hands. "Do you really think I want a divorce? You're so childish! I think it's more likely that you'll ask for a divorce first because you'll get bored living with me."
"I won't. If I ask for a divorce, I'd rather die."
"The first rule you made was to maintain your reputation?"
Harry couldn't answer. He looked away again as he walked around the room. "Second, you can't stop me from doing anything. Either to you or to everyone."
The rules this time Claudia felt very ambiguous. Why would Harry make such a ridiculous rule? Does this mean that if Harry wants to have a secret affair, he has no right to forbid it?
"What if I forbid you? What are the consequences?"
"The consequences..." Harry pulled Claudia's hand until Claudia's body fell on the bed. Harry positioned his body on his stomach in front of Claudia. "I'm going to kill you."
Claudia swallowed saliva nervously. "You're not kidding are you?"
Harry slowly caressed the level of Claudia's neck. "If one day I'm going to touch your body, do you have the right to forbid me, My wife?"
"What?"
"That's why, so that you obey my orders, I will make a marriage contract. If you violate any of the rules I made, be ready to face the consequences!"
