Chapter 4. Forced Marriage

Edward walked over to Luna and Ethan while Holding his wife's hand. The man looked handsome with a face very similar to Ethan's, he wore a black suit and combed his hair in a Pompade style while his wife wore a gold evening dress and wore makeup rather thick.

"Luna," said Edward, giving Luna a friendly smile.

"Do you know each other?" Ethan asked, looking at Luna.

"Yes, he's my friend," said Luna lied, she looked sarcastically at the woman beside Edward. 'So, she's your wife, even though she's not prettier than me,' she thought.

"Uh. Yes, " said Edward with a friendly smile at Ethan. "Congratulations, Ethan, you are finally married," he Edward, then followed by his wife who also greeted Luna.

"Why is Edward so similar to you?" Luna asked after Edward left.

"He's my half-brother, his mother is my father's first wife. But after my father died, we lived apart," replied Ethan casually.

Luna just nodded understandingly, and did not expect that she married the brother of her ex. she sits on a luxurious aisle, and felt pain in her waist, even though she became pregnant, she gets tired easily.

"Can I go to the room, I'm tired?" Luna asked, looking at Ethan pleadingly.

"Okay, I'll take you." Ethan immediately escorted Luna to the hotel room they rented for the night. Because tomorrow they will return to Jakarta city.

"You don't come back to the party anymore?" Luna asked when she got to the room, Ethan instead closed the door and didn't come out again.

"No, I'm tired and I want to sleep too," Ethan replied.

Luna immediately walked to the bathroom to take off her big dress which was quite difficult to remove.

"Why is it so hard? I had to ask Ethan to help me," muttered Luna, and then immediately came out of the bathroom.

"Ethan, help me unzip," she said when he saw Ethan lying on the bed.

Ethan immediately sat up, while Luna sat on the edge of the bed. The man immediately positioned himself behind his wife, Then unzipped her gown. He swallowed his saliva when he saw his wife's back which looked so smooth, raised his passion but he couldn't do anything because his wife was still very cold to him.

Luna immediately returned to the bathroom and changed into her pajamas and clean her face from makeup. After that, she returned to the room and saw Ethan sleeping on the couch and still wearing his tuxedo suit.

She stared at Ethan for a moment and then immediately woke him up because she was sorry to see him sleeping uncomfortably on the couch.

"Ethan, you have to move to the bed," said Luna, patting Ethan gently.

"Can I sleep with you?" Ethan asked who started to open his eyes but was still sleepy.

"Yes," said Luna. Then she immediately lay down on the bed.

Luna stared at the ceiling, imagining what had happened to her. Today she become a wife but is not ready to do her first night duty.

"Why you're not sleeping?" Asked Ethan who had just come back from the bathroom. He had changed into pajamas In the same color as Luna's pajamas. He lay beside her with distance limited by a pillow in the middle.

"It's okay, I'm just nervous," answered Luna without turning her head.

"Don't worry, I'm not asking for my rights before you love me," Ethan said.

"Thank you for understanding." Luna smiled at Ethan. She was relieved that Ethan understood her.

Ethan just smile, Trying to accept reality even though he wanted to touch Luna, wanted to do the first night which is generally done by newlyweds.

They both immediately slept in a far apart position and back to back.

'I'll be patient until you love me, I hope love grows before our baby is born, I don't want us to get divorced one day,' thought Ethan.

Luna didn't go to sleep right away, she felt pain in her back and legs. Makes her sleepless and then sits down and massages her legs.

Feeling that Luna was not sleeping, Ethan immediately changed his position to face Luna. Seeing his wife sitting and massaging her own feet, made him feel sorry. He immediately sat down and got closer to his wife's feet and then massaged them.

"Why are you massaging my feet? Aren't you sleepy?" Asked Luna with a flat look.

"I couldn't sleep because you kept moving. Are you still in pain?" Ethan asked.

"It's getting better. But my shoulder hurts too," said Luna.

"Now turn around, I'll massage you," Ethan exclaimed.

Luna changed her position to sit with her back to Ethan.

Ethan immediately massaged Luna's shoulders.

"Are we going back to Jakarta tomorrow?" Asked Luna while enjoying Ethan's massage.

"Yes, I have important business," Ethan replied.

After finishing the massage, Ethan immediately lay down, because he couldn't stand the drowsiness anymore. Luna immediately slept because she felt better.

Sunlight slipped through the hotel window, newlyweds did not realize that it was already morning they slept very close. Luna was in Ethan's arms. I don't know who started it, even the pillow falls on the floor.

Luna felt comfortable sleeping in Ethan's arms, the pride made her want to let Ethan go. But somehow there seemed to be a feeling of comfort that made her reluctant to let him go.

'You're handsome like Edward, can I love you before this baby is born, or we'll get a divorce?' she thought as she saw Ethan who was still asleep. She felt her husband's smooth jaw without the beard, kept looking at him, and realized his handsomeness.

"Sorry," said Ethan, who had just opened his eyes and realized the distance between himself and Luna was very close.

Ethan immediately got out of bed and walked to the bathroom, while Luna also got out of bed and quickly straightened out the pillows and blankets.

"Are we going straight to the airport?" Luna asked when she realized that Ethan had just come back from the shower wearing only a waist-high towel, his body was very athletic.

"Yes, I ordered the ticket yesterday and in two hours we have to leave ... in two days I'll be going to Thailand for a working visit," Ethan replied as he picked up his clothes in the wardrobe.

"Do you always travel to different countries?" Asked Luna.

"Not really, do you want to come with me?" Ethan asked, raising an eyebrow.

"No, I'm still often nauseous, if I take a trip too far, maybe I'm not strong," said Luna flatly, then she immediately went to the bathroom while Ethan immediately put on his clothes.

After an hour of getting ready,

Ethan and Luna walked out of the hotel with suitcases. They saw many paparazzi outside. He just found out that the girl he married is a famous model, even on the rise. He didn't know it because he was busy with his business world, he didn't care about the entertainment world.

"Would you like to accept an interview?" Ethan asked, staring at Luna who was staring at the paparazzi.

"I'm lazy to talk to a lot of people," said Luna irritably, because the paparazzi must have asked her a lot about her sudden marriage.

"Okay, let's go through the back," said Ethan and immediately grabbed Luna's hand as he walked toward the back door of the hotel.

"I'd better stay home after this," muttered Luna as she continued walking following Ethan who also kept holding her hand.

"Paparazzi will always bother me," said Luna.

"I'll hire a bodyguard for you."

"That's necessary because I'm rarely home," Ethan insisted.

"No need, I hate being guarded," said Luna in a harsh tone.

They reached the back door of the hotel, then went straight out and into the car that Ethan's assistant had prepared.

During the trip there was only silence, Luna just stared out the car window, occasionally she saw a poster with a picture of her on the side of the road. 'It will all be erased when my career fades, No company wants to collaborate with a pregnant model? I will miss every pose and the enthusiastic atmosphere backstage before the catwalk starts. I'm going to miss my world,' thought Luna as she gazed sadly at the street view from the car window.

"We stopped for breakfast at the restaurant, I'll ask for a special place so no paparazzi follow you," said Ethan.

Luna was just silent and did not respond. She is still sad. Even though the man who married her was rich, she will always miss her world. Because since childhood, being a model is her dream. But when she was on the rise being a model, she had to run aground because of her carelessness.
