Alexander and his wife looked at Kenneth, who was eating so fast because he seemed so hungry.
After a few minutes, Alexander asked, "Would you like to add to the food?"
"Sir, is that okay?"
"Yes, yes, you can order as much food as you want."
Kenneth didn't think twice before ordering another plate of food. Kenneth was still being watched by Alexander. The man in front of him was pretty, but his skin was dirty, which might have been because he lived on the streets.
Alexander asked, "Where is your house?"
Kenneth said, "I don't have a home."
"Don't you have any family either?"
"My mother died, so I live by myself now."
"You're a brave young man, and you're also good at martial arts. Do you want to get married to my daughter? "
"Cough, cough, cough," As soon as Kenneth heard Alexander's last word, he started to choke up.
Not only was Kenneth surprised by the question, but Sherly was also very surprised by what her husband had just said.
Sherry asked, "Honey, what did you say?"
Alexander said, "I think he's the right person for Quella to marry. So, what do you say, Kenneth? Are you interested in marrying my daughter?"
"What do you mean, Sir? I don't get it at all. "
"I have a daughter. Her name is Quella Veronica Charlotte. Quella is a very, very pretty girl. But, alas, her lover broke up with her after a year. Two days before their wedding, that jerk had an affair with another woman. It feels really sad. Since then, she hasn't left her room and doesn't want to meet anyone, much less new people. I want you to make her happy again the way she was," Alexander said.
Kenneth didn't say anything because he was still trying to figure out what the man meant.
“I'll give you $100,000,000 if you can make Quella happy again within six months. And if you don't succeed in those six months, I'll just give you a million dollars. You won't get hurt in any way. My daughter is living like she did before," Alexander went on.
Kenneth's eyes got big when he heard how little Alexander was willing to pay. If you fail, you will receive a million dollars, and if you succeed, you will receive a hundred million dollars.Kenneth thought it was a lot. He was only asked to marry a girl, after all. Isn't it a great deal to get married and get paid at the same time?
So, Kenneth didn't think twice before nodding his head. "Yes, sir," said Kenneth when he heard the offer.
Alexander gave a small smile. "Good, then you can come straight home with me after lunch."
Kenneth was also in a hurry to finish his lunch. It looked like he didn't need to eat much that afternoon, either, because he knew his next meal would be safe. How could he not? He will marry the daughter of Mr. Alexander, who is very wealthy.
"First, you can rest, and don't forget to clean up.” When Alexander returned home, he told Kenneth that he would marry him to his daughter the next day, "Waiter! Get this man a room and some clothes."
Kenneth was taken to a room by a group of male servants. Alexander's house was very big, and it might have been almost as big as Winston's. So, Kenneth has to go through a few rooms before he can get to the room that has been set aside for him.
Kenneth stopped in a room when he saw a picture of his family on the wall. In the picture, Mr. Alexander, Mrs. Sherly, and a beautiful girl are all shown. Kenneth said to himself in a low voice, "He must be the one whose name is Quella. Very pretty." When Kenneth looked at the picture, he smiled when he saw the beautiful face of a girl. During this time, Kenneth thought Luna was the most beautiful girl he had ever met, but Quella was much more attractive than Luna. Right away, Kenneth got more and more excited about marrying the girl.
Sherly was talking about how unhappy she was with what her husband had done earlier in her room.
"My husband, what are you really thinking? Why did you let that homeless man marry your own daughter? I think you've really lost your mind!" Sherly laughed at him.
"Calm down, my wife. Kenneth and Quella's wedding will be different from what you think a wedding is like. I told Kenneth to marry Quella so the man could help Quella get better.”
“How on earth could he heal Quella? Even Quella's shrink gave up on her. Also, Quella is not crazy, she's just acting like she is."
“Because of that, one of the reasons I want to marry Quella is to show people that she is not crazy. The fact that people still want to marry her is proof of that. We have tried many things to get Quella to live like she used to, but we have never been able to do it. So, I don't see any reason why we shouldn't try it this way. Can you understand why Quella keeps locking herself in that room? Can you hear how crazy people think Quella is?"
"I'm a mom, and I hurt so much every time. I see Quella looking gloomy in her room. But I also don't want Quella to marry that bum. I can't imagine Quella sleeping in the same bed as a homeless person and having sex with that person," she said.
"Calm down, my wife. Kenneth won't touch Quella. Tomorrow, I'll write that into the wedding contract. Honey, it's only for six months. Trust me." Alexander looked into Sherly's eyes to put his wife's mind at ease.
Sherly seemed to be choking on her own saliva, and her heart still didn't accept it, but in the end, she agreed with her husband's decision. "Honey, I hope it works this time," Sherly said in a whisper. As a parent, all she wants is for her daughter to be happy.

After sleeping on the streets for a month, Kenneth was finally able to get a good night's sleep on the soft mattress. When he woke up, his body felt completely refreshed. This was especially true after he soaked in a warm bath.
Knock! Knock! Knock!
When the doorbell rang, Kenneth, who was still wearing a towel, ran to open it.
A servant told him, "Mr. Alexander has been waiting for you."
"Fine. I'll soon be ready to go see him."
Kenneth shut the door once more. He put on the clothes that had been put in the closet for him. When he met Mr. Alexander and Mrs. Sherly that morning, Kenneth wore a shirt and coat, which made him look very nice.
"Sit down!" Alexander told Kenneth to sit on the other side of him.
“I've made a contract for you and my daughter to get married. I've also put some conditions in this contract, which you should read carefully before you sign it," said Alexander.
Kenneth also looked at the map on the piece of paper that was given to him. Alexander sets a rule that while Kenneth is married to Quella, he can't hurt Quella in any way, either physically or verbally. Alexander also wouldn't let Kenneth get involved in other family matters, let alone his business. Kenneth could understand some of the points of the requirement, but there was one point that made him frown.
"Excuse me, sir, but can you explain the fourth point?" Kenneth asked Alexander.
“As long as you're married to Quella, you can't sleep with her or have sex with her. Because you're just a son-in-law who gets paid. You have no right to touch my daughter."
When Kenneth heard those insulting words, his ears turned red and his eyes got hot. At first, Kenneth thought that the Alexanders liked him more than the Winstons. But none of them are different.
But Kenneth couldn't fight back against Alexander this time. He had to agree to everything on this list. At this point, Kenneth has to put his pride aside. The most important thing is for him to get the money he needs to stay alive and get revenge for all the pain he's going through.
Kenneth also put his name on the contract.
Kenneth was taken to Quella's room by a few servants. Now, he is officially Mr. Alexander's only daughter's husband. As Kenneth was about to open the bedroom door, his heart was beating fast. He was scared because it would be the first time he saw Quella's face in person. Kenneth went into the room after heaving and letting out a lot of air.Suddenly..."Aaaaaa..." Kenneth let out a startled scream when he saw what looked like a ghost in front of him.There wasn't much light in the room, so when Kenneth saw a figure in white with long hair flowing forward, he thought it was a ghost.Praakkk..Quella shut the door once more. Now, it looked like Quella was pressing Kenneth's body against her, which had just fallen to the floor in shock. Quella snapped, "Who let you into my room?" as she showed her long, yellow teeth that looked disgusting.Kenneth said in a shaky voice, "Aaa-I. I'm your husband.” even though he wasn't sure at the moment if the figure that looked like a madman was Quella
Knock! Knock! Knock!Alexander went to Quella and Kenneth's room early in the morning to check on his daughter and make sure that Kenneth hadn't had sex with Quella the night before.Alexander knocked on the door several times, but no one answered. Alexander finally decided to smash the room's door open.Kenneth woke up when the door opened loudly and made a lot of noise. As soon as he saw Alexander's face, he got to his feet. Even though Quella was still sleeping in her bed,Alexander said, "I've been calling for a while, so why didn't you answer, huh?""I'm sorry, sir, but it looks like I overslept because I’m exhausted," Kenneth said."Exhausted? What did you do last night that wore you out? Did you—""Oh, no, sir. I didn't do anything last night because I was too tired. Maybe it's because I've slept on the streets before.""But you didn't sleep next to Quella last night, did you?""Sir, you knows I sleep on the floor because you just saw it."Since Alexander didn't say anything, i
Kenneth went to the kitchen to get some food. He planned to eat in the kitchen with the servants, but Kenneth remember of Quella. So, he decided to bring food to Quella's room so he could breakfast with his wife.“Quella, here I brought you breakfast. Let's have breakfast together.""I would rather not eat. I'm not hungry, and I would rather not eat.""Okay. If you don't want to eat, then I won't eat either. We will starve together.”"Up to you. Do you think I'd care if you starved? I don't care about that at all.""Okay." Kenneth placed the plate of food on the table, then he sat on the sofa to watching Quella.In the long run, Quella began to feel uncomfortable because Kenneth was always staring at him. "Why do you keep looking at me like that?""I'm not allowed to do anything in this house, so I just can to watch you.""I don't allow you to look at me like that either!""Oh, alright." Kenneth turned around and lay down on the bed. Kenneth decided to sleep.A few minutes later, Quel
Inside his residence, Winston Sanders was seen talking to John, his personal assistant. "How about Kenneth, John? Have you found out where Kenneth is?""Sorry, sir, I haven't found him yet.” John replied. "Actually a few days ago, I saw him on the street, but when I chased him, he ran away. Maybe he knows that I want to bring him back to this house."Winston Sanders seemed to sigh. "I really regret his decision to leave this house. I'm glad he lives here. Kenneth is a smart and obedient son, he helps me in many ways.""I think Kenneth is dissapointed when you bequeathed the WS Group to Mr. Shawn." John ventured to express his opinion.Winston Sanders seemed to sigh once again. "How can I bequeath the WS Group to Kenneth? Kenneth is a child out of legal marriage while Shawn is my son from a legal marriage. If I bequeath the WS Group to Kenneth, then people know his identity, its will make the company's image will be bad."John was silent, he didn't want to respond anymore for fear that
One afternoon, Kenneth went out to buy canvases, paints, sketchbooks and other painting supplies. Luckily, he still had some money to buy it all. Kenneth began to feel bored every day just being in Alexander's house. He planned to paint Quella tonight."Where have you been?" Alexander intercepted Kenneth who had just come home with painting equipment."I was out for a while to buy some painting equipment, sir.""You can't leave this house without my permission!""Oh, sorry. Next time I'll ask your permission before going out.""If you need something, all you have to do is ask the maids here. You don't have to go out to buy it by yourself. Do you understand?""Yes, sir. I understand." Kenneth seemed to swallow, he felt imprisoned in Mr Alexander's luxurious house. He felt like a bird in a cage, but Kenneth had to obey all orders and prohibitions from Alexander. He had to endure the next six months until he got one hundred million dollars from Alexander."Hello, Quella! Look, I just bou
“Do you like the ring?” Shawn asked Luna.“Yes, I really like it. This is a very beautiful and expensive ring. Thank you darling. You know me so well how to make me happy." Luna kissed Shawn's cheek once more. Shawn replied by hugging the girl's waist."Tonight, I will take you to dinner with my family, I will talk to them about our wedding plans. What do you think?""Is that true? Oh, of course, I totally agree. But, am I beautiful enough to meet your parents tonight?”"You're always beautiful all the time, honey."“But I still feel insecure. I think I'll have to buy some clothes.""Okay, I'll buy it for you.""Oh, that's very kind of you."That night, Shawn took Luna to his house. "Mommy, Daddy, this is Luna, my lover."Winston and Battrice glanced at a girl who standing next to Shawn."Aren't you Kenneth's lover?" Winston asked Luna. Winston remembered that Luna often came to his office and Kenneth had also introduced Luna as his girlfriend.Luna looked nervous at Winston's questio
Knock! Knock! Knock!As usual, Alexander knocked on Quella's door every morning to check on his daughter's condition. Kenneth opened the door because Quella was still sleeping at that time.“Why is Quella still sleeping at this hour? Is Quella sick?" Alexander asks Kenneth how Quella is."No, sir. Quella is fine.""Did you sleep next to her last night?""Not. I sleep on the floor.”"Good. You have to remember our agreement, you can't sleep in the same bed with Quella, you can't have sex with her either. Because if you break the agreement, then I won't give you any money.""You don't have to worry, sir. I will not break the agreement.”"Good, that's what I expected. Now come out, you must clear the grass in my yard with the other gardeners. Don't just laze around here because I also feed you every day."Kenneth gulped when he received such insult from Alexander, but he couldn't argue. So, Kenneth came out of Quella's room and went to the side yard.A gardener gives Kenneth a lawn mower
Quella smiled at Kenneth's painting. "How wonderful painting it is!" Quella muttered while staring at the painting."Do you like it?" Kenneth asked Quella, amd than Quella nodded her head immediately."Please display this painting on the wall of my room.""Oh sure, Quella. I'd be happy to do that for you. By the way, it's getting hot, let's go back inside the house." Kenneth held out his hand, Quella took Kenneth's hand and they both entered the house."Quella!" Mr. Alexander and Mrs. Sherly approached their daughter immediately.When Mrs. Sherly was about to hug Quella, Quella stepped back. She didn't to want to be hugged by her mother."My daughter, I am very happy to see you like this. This is a very happy thing for me.” Alexander.Quella was silent, then Quella continued walking towards her room. Kenneth frowned, one thing that made him wonder about Quella's behavior, why was Quella always curtly to her parents?"Kenneth, wait a minute!" Alexander restrained Kenneth's steps who we
