Chapter 148: Becoming his wife

"You asked for our blessings and you gladly have them and I believe that the whole of country X knows who is in Jane’s heart.. me.. her fiancé and her soon to be husband..."

Liam could have sworn that he has never been proud before, never this confident even when securing his business deals.

The man smiled widely as he placed the microphone on the podium and carried Jane bridal style as he headed for their seats.

On stage, Anna cleared her throat as she smiled slightly.

"Ahem.. well the whole country has now seen, Edward is only mine. You are all free to mingle and catch some food." She put down the microphone as she stormed down the stage but no one seemed to care as the people immediately started interacting while The Chen couple pulled Edward aside for a talk.

"Son, why did you let her do that? Don’t you see the effects of her actions?"

Mr Chen spoke as he tried to control his shaking hands.

"I honestly don’t know dad, this is not the right time to get mad at me, I am just so confused!"

Edward spoke as he ran his hands on his hair out of frustration.

"I felt alot of pain seeing Jane kiss Liam, hearing her say she loves him..Aaargh!"

Edward finished his statement only to meet a weird stare from his parents.

"Uum Edward, that means you still have feelings for her son."

Mother Chen spoke as she scratched her head.

"No mom.. no..." Edward tried denying but his mother kept shaking her head at him telling him the truth he is refusing to accept.

On the other hand, the mighty families sat in one big table as they all congratulated Jane and Liam.

"Who knew Jane could be the one proposing, Hehehe..." Father Lu spoke as he patted Liam.

"Guess I can start calling you son in law!" He continued as the rest laughed with Jane sitted on Liam’s lap.

The couple in question was silently hugging without saying a hug and when different people started coming to the table to interact in terms of business, Jane stood up to head for a drink leaving the rest behind.

"If only you were a little bit obedient, we can make a cute couple you know.." Ian said as he played with Mary’s hair staring seriously at her.

Mary looked back at him and slightly laughed.

"You know Ian we are from two different worlds, I can’t fit into yours and neither can you fit into mine. I have killed alot of times. I kill, you save, we are from two different worlds."

By now, they were both serious as she spoke.

"What if I told you I do not care from which world you are from?"

Ian asked, still maintaining eye contact.

"I don’t know why you don’t care Ian,there are a lot of women out there who deserve such a nice man like you but not me Ian. I do not even dream of having a loving man or family because no one can accept a killer."

The girl replied back as she maintained eye contact.

For a whole minute, they were both quiet before Ian spoke.

"Because of my profession, my parents really want me to settle down and honestly, you are the only girl I have met who has never tried throwing themselves at me because of my money and such."

Mary just stared at him as she nodded, indicating that she was listening.

"You are not interested in relationships and I am forced to get a wife for myself, my family needs the next heir."

"I will be straightforward Mary, we are grown ups, we understand these things. Be my wife and I your husband, I know we are barely friends but think about it, our problems will be solved this way."

Mary’s reaction was pretty much what the man expected. She was super calm as she stared at him.

"It’s funny how I do not have the guts to say no Ian. I have no option because I know sooner or later my grand parents will be on my neck for me to settle."

For the first time since they met Ian saw the girl actually wear a sad smile, a real sad smile.

Withiout any shame or thought, he scooped her from her seat and made her sit on his lap as he quietly hugged her.

Murmers could be heard because it turned out that the camera man was so focused on them that they appeared on the screens in the whole venue but people couldn’t tell what exactly they were talking about.

"I heard she is a receptionist of Mr Lu’s hospital."

" she is really the next Mrs Mo! Even the general’s parents are smiling at them."

"She is nothing but a peasant!"

Different murmurs could be heard but the two did not actually care, especially Mary who was hugging Ian back. She has never shown her emotions easily but she spilled everything before this man and he did not judge her and maybe she was not going to regret her decision of becoming his wife, without love or anything, just his wife by name.

Mary took a deep breathe as she broke the hug.

"When are we going to the Civil Bureau?" She asked as she put his hair in place not knowing she was being misunderstood for a caring girl friend by everyone.

"Monday Wifey, I have a mission on tuesday."

The man replied as he smiled back at her.

"Perfect. I will be back." She stood up as she headed for the washroom.

Ian watched her leave and slightly smiled as he spoke to himself.

"I am sory for deceiving you my woman, I had no other way to make you accept me but I promise to make you fall in love with yourself and me."
