Behind the veil, Lizzet can see the reaction of the guest who attends her wedding. She is still waiting for her groom who is thirty minutes late from the moment she enters . The groom being late cause the guest to whispers and the others mocking the bride. But Lizzet doesn't care at all ,entering this marriage is not her choice at all. She is forced to attend this wedding for the sake of her cousin who she thinks did not look anything even a little bit like her.

Months ago ,Lizzet is attending as a sophomore student in a university. She is living with her mother in a small town away from the city. To provide for their food ,Lizzet needs to be a working student while studying and her mother is working as a shopkeeper in a small store somewhere in town. At first everything is okay, and they provide for their necessities enough to survive every day of their life. Until one day , her mother collapse. According to the doctor in town, they don't have enough materials to determine what is wrong with her mother, so she needs to go to the big hospitals that is located in the cities. Lizzet remember that her mother have her sister who is living in a city .

Lizzet get the number from her mother's wallet and tried to call it. She is happy when a voice of a woman answer it and as they were talking through the phone , she tell how she needs her help for her mother. The voice in the phone somewhat hesitated but after a second the woman in the other side said they should meet in person and talk about. Lizzet spends almost all of her savings by hiring an ambulance going to the hospital from her town for her mother who is now in a coma.

After waiting for how many hours, her aunt arrives at the hospital. " You have grown up. " The woman said while wearing a thick makeup and lipstick as she used to be. Yes, Lizzet remembers this woman, her aunt whom she met when she was about nine years old. Nothing change with her aunt demeanor except she became old . Her aunt look at her from up and down not wasting anytime to tell Lizzet about her conditions in exchange for financial help for her mother. At first Lizzet feel her disadvantage about her conditions but seeing her mother suffering and did not even bother to look by the professional doctors because she did not pay the advance payment first, her heart melts as a daughter and agreed to what her aunt is saying.

From wearing the wedding gown as if it is made for her, wearing the wedding ring that fits her and everything that is chosen by her cousin for the wedding who is nowhere to be found . She close her eyes that day and pray for her life before going out and go to the altar.

Lizzet's heart is pounding when she sees her groom walking going nearer to her. For her, this will be their first meeting . She stares at him in awe because he is like a model walking in the aisle, you can imagine his firm muscle under his tuxedo, his sharp jawline that makes him mature and manly and his dangerous aura surrounding him. It seems like wherever he went , he meant to attract attention even without doing anything.

Lizzet swallowed her saliva upon saying " I do. " As a pledge in the wedding. Her aunt told her that this man is very dangerous so should be aware and be guard on him . Dante is one of the leader in the mafia family.

Dante is staring onto her eyes, she finds it awkward, so she is the one who first break it and stare to his lips. " You may now kiss the bride!" the priest said. " He might have noticed now that I am not my cousin. He won't----" Lizzet is having these thoughts when his lips touch hers. He is not even contented, and his tongue invade her mouth. Again, she is the one who avoided his intense kiss and take away her face from him. Lizzet knew that the moment she agreed to her aunt her body is already not hers, she expects worse, and she knew that she is putting her life in danger but if it is only the way for her mother to be treated then she is willing to give even her life.

The bride and the groom are now alone inside the limousine. Lizzet do not dare to say any word for the man that she only meet this day. Dante is drinking wine opposite of her" You know what type of people I hate the most? Those that are liars. " He said. She is not showing it, but his voice makes her shiver because of fear. " If you want to make it realistic at least learn to act as if you are enjoying everything. " Dante said. Actually Dante purposely come to the wedding an hour late for them to back out the wedding but seeing them waiting for him for this long, those people intended to make a fool out of him.

" I will be a bigger person this time. Okay, tell me what you want? " Dante is talking to Lizzet in a formal way. Out of fear and she don't trust him, she shut her mouth. He looks at her from up to down" I do not know what you can offer me aside from your body, but I will wait until you are the one who will beg for me." He smiles demonically. She manages to see him eye to eye but as usual she is the one who is backing down.

He brings out his phone and call someone " Take care of everything. I need to go now. " He said and the limousine stop. He go down without saying anything. " Wait! " She cannot hold herself to hold his arm and stop him. Dante look at her arm who touch his hand , she removes it. " How about me? " Lizzet ask. " Oh and here I thought you don' t care. The driver will drop you somewhere and someone will explain it for you if you manage to arrive the place. " Dante said and go down the car with his men waiting for him outside.

While on the way Lizzet is confused about his words. Then she feels that the limousine stop as if it bumps into something hard. Her head even hit the window beside her because of how hard the thing that the limousine bump into. Then the door open, some men with tattoos and gun in their hands come to get Lizzet. She is confused and scared. " He's not here! " One of the men said. The one man that seems to be the leader kick the door. " He trick us! " He said. " But we have his wife? " One man said. " I can't believe he let his wife deceive us! " One of them scoff. Lizzet hearing this , she clench his her hand. " Now I see what he means! " She thought. " So what we will do with her boss? " one of the men ask. " Get her. We might get something useful from her. " the leader said.

Lizzet wearing her wedding dress is walking with them in the middle of the road going to their cars. Then a two wrangler come from the other side of the road bump into the cars of the men who were trying to abduct her. The men came from the wranglers have a gun with them and now is shooting the men with Lizzet. " The heck! That was fast! " The leader is hiding behind the car that is broken. " Boss, they are too many. We are not prepared! " One of his men said. " Do you think I don't know that?!" The boss kick the man who said that. The boss stare at Lizzet and she pushes her into the middle of them, the men from the other side stop. " We give her back ! We are even ! " The boss shouted. At that moment Lizzet stare at the men from the two wranglers" They are the men with Dante! " Lizzet thought. She immediately ran towards them and the moment she sits inside the car , the two wranglers went away.

Lizzet went down in front of a light brown mansion with a black big gate. Her wedding dress is now dirty white and her veil is all messed. An old woman wearing glasses is waiting for her in front of the door. " You must be my boss wife. Follow me. " She instructed with a formal voice. " I am housekeeper of the house, you can call me Ms. Lyn from this moment. " Ms. Lyn is walking to the corridor while Lizzet is following her silently in awe how big the mansion is.

They stop went to the lift to get to the first floor and stop in front of a room that have a big door. Ms. Lyn open it with the key in her hands. The room is wide and everything is designed traditionally. The queen size bed, the table cabinet beside the bed, the shower room and in fact it can be mini house because it has everything inside. " This room is built for a couple as you can see. This will be your room from now on, everything you need is in the closet . Dinner will be served at 6:30 , someone will pick you up at that time to bring you to kitchen. Rest first and change clothes. " Ms. Lyn smile gently.

After the door is closed, Lizzet unintentionally see her reflection in the mirror. There she sees her make up is ruined, her eyeliner almost melted. Her hair is everywhere, her forehead is a bit pink from bumping into the side window, her lipstick almost fade, and her white dress is now dirty white. She felt a liquid warm thing flowing into her cheeks. " I almost die today..." she is sobbing. " What did I do to deserve this? " She asks herself as if it will answer her question.

Someone is tapping her shoulder when Lizzet wakes up. From her uniform , she is a maid. " Miss, time for dinner. Please wake up, and I will show you the way to the kitchen. " She politely said. Lizzet nods because she is not comfortable with how she treats her with respect as if she is not the same age as hers. But still she does not want to be friendly with anyone because she doesn't know until when will she stay in that place.

They use the lift to go to the second floor and Lizzet find herself staring into the big long table ,at the end of it is Dante. He paused when he sees her but manage to put down his gaze in the food on the table. " The dress for your cousin suits you well. " Dante smiles as she is sitting beside him. She clenches her hand that is on her knee. "You must have too many questions like why did I let you live even I knew that you are fake. " He is smiling with a playful expression. " I am enjoying it. Letting your family thinks that I am a fool by letting you be my wife. But one thing is for sure, the moment I lose interest in you. I can just give you back, so you must impress me if you want to stay by my side. " He said.

Lizzet is shock when her body move on it's own and throw the fork that she is holding to him. But it did not hit him though. " I have enough of your nonesense! You knew that someone is waiting for you in the middle of the road, and you send me to ba a trap! " She said while controlling her anger. Dante is still smiling and relaxed. " Oh someone is mad for being threatened." It is a statement. " But do you even have a say into it? You married me. You knew who I was. You knew what I have to do for a living. And now you are complaining? " Dante said smiling while staring to Lizzet eyes. " Everyday I have to live like this. Do you think you can manage it? To become my legal wife? You passed the test though. " Dante said as if everything is a joke.

Lizzet cannot talk because everything he said is right. She is here in this situation because she needs money for her mother. She didn't have a say into it, even if she will lose her life. Furthermore, she calm down after realizing it. " As my wife, you have many privilege. You have my last name, you have my money and properties and mostly, you have my power. What more do you want ? " Dante is boasting and intimidating her. " Don't worry, I told you I will wait for the time that you will be the one begging for my touch. I am not the person who will force someone. " He said.

" I only want one thing, your approval for me to go somewhere I want. " Lizzet ask. " You got it." Dante has an assurance of his voice.

After three days Lizzet went to the hospital where her mother is, but she panicked when she found out that someone transfer her mother into another hospital, the hospital said it was her biological sister. She immediately calls her aunt. " Where did transfer my mother?!" Lizzet is upset if it is about her mother. " Don't overact Lizzet. I transfer her to a better hospital, of course she is my sister I want for her the best. " Her aunt answer. " Please I want to see her. " Lizzet is almost crying. " Oops... Not so fast my beloved niece. I am just assuring that you will listen to me, so I will send you every day a video of her until your cousin will return. " Her aunt said. Lizzie is now sobbing. She even questioned her decision to ask help from her mother biological sister and only family member. " This can't do! I need my own plan to save myself and my mother from this situation! " She thought.

After two weeks in the big mansion, Lizzet got easily bored. Ms. Lyn who took a liking to her is always checking on her if she needs something, Dante is always busy and cannot be seen inside the house always. " Ms. Lyn, do you think he will approve of it? " Lizzet bite her lower lip about her idea. " Why not? Dante is a generous person . You want me to talk into him about it? " Ms. Lyn said.

Dante smiles upon hearing the idea. " My wife to be a lawyer? That is absurd. We don't even have time to see each other than she wants to study than seducing me and bear my children? " Dante is smiling. Ms. Lyn shakes her head upon hearing how naughty this little master she is serving. Then Dante has an idea" Why not let her come and ask for herself? Is that an attitude of someone asking for favor? Don't be used by her Ms. Lyn." Dante said because he saw Lizzet is outside his room hearing what they are talking about.

Lizzet doesn't have a choice but to bring herself out from hiding while in her pajama. She was supposed to go to bed but Ms. Lyn force her to hear what Dante will say.

Ms. Lyn decided to leave the two in the room. Dante is tired and he is removing his suit, Lizzet is blushing when she see his toned muscle and tattoo at his back. He is naked and only wearing his boxer after removing his clothes. " I- I want to continue my study. I-I think this will be good for me and I really want you to help me financially. I can work while studying ..." she said in a low voice. " What kind of work can you do then? " Dante is now going in front of her and she is avoiding him by stepping back. " I...ummm...I ...ummm...I can work from one of establishments." she said in a uncomfortable way because she feels the wall behind her feet. " Do you even know what kind of establishments I have? I own clubs and some casinos. What position would you like to apply for? " Dante is whispering in front of her face while staring into her eyes. Lizzet is lost into his eyes but then lower her gaze to avoid his eye contact. " Ummm... I can be your personal maid. " She said while controlling her breath because his chest is now touching her breast. She is preparing to sleep, so she did not wear her bra. Dante pause when he feels what is his chest touching but of course he will not let her see her through. " You said that yourself so don't end up crying one day okay? " He said and step backward going to the shower room. " Come see in your first day of school. I will let my assistant do all the paper works for you. " Dante said. Lizzet is breathing heavily when she got out of his room.

After one week, Lizzet is now attending an exclusive university that only applicable only for VIP's. The children of the officials, celebreties and all the people who is rich are attending the university. The place is guarded heavily and not just for anyone to enter. Actually Lizzet don't know if she should be thankful or no but atleast Dante gives her the chance to attend school so she don't dare to complain. The first day of school, Dante send her personally. " I did not know that seeing you in college uniform would be delightful. " Dante said. Lizzet is not use to be complimented and is shy so she just keep quiet because she don't know what to say. " Thank you for letting me go to school again. " Lizzet said sincerly. " Oh don't worry about it, you will be my personal maid so I hope for your good service. " he said smiling.

" Dante is picky about his clothes. So you need to prepare everything beforehand so he will have time to choose, okay? " Ms. Lyn explain whay she will do before he wakes up. " And before sleeping, just prepare a boxer and that's it. Leave the room. Usually at night he doesn't need help so you can just rest early. " Ms. Lyn said . Lizzet is attentive in listening.
