"Was she serious? Even a three-year-old kids could tell that were not some ordinary business people but mobsters or criminals. Was she really that naive or maybe she was doing it on purpose. Then that means she really does have an idea about her son business. Mafia business" I thought.

　　A chill ran down my body when all of them turned towards me. Zachary pointed a finger towards me as if he was talking about me and the boys nodded in unison.


　　"What is going on?" I wondered.

　　"Is he commanding them to find me when no one is around me and kill me?" I thought and instantly felt as the blood flowed down from my face.

　　The boys looked at me one more time before walking towards the exit. Probably their work was done and they were leaving.


　　"Let's make the announcement," dad said once Zachary walked towards us.

　　He took a glass and clinked it using a spoon. Mom held a mike before him and everyone turned towards us and the music stopped playing for everyone's eye were now fixed on us.


　　"Ladies and gentlemen, so the time has come for which you have been waiting for so long. The newly married couple. My son Zachary Udolf Sullivan and my daughter-in-law Mrs. Juliette Udolf Sullivan" he said and cheered his glass towards our direction.

　　Zachary wrapped an arm around me and I put on a fake smile when people began to clap and congratulate us.

　　Photos were clicked and I had to smile at each and every photo to the point where my cheeks started to hurt.

　　"Mr. Sullivan can we ask what was the reason for the sudden marriage?" a reporter from the crowd asked.

　　Zachary tensed up from my side and I saw as he looked towards dad and glared at him.

　　"What are the reporters doing here?" he asked through gritted teeth. Dad just shrugged his shoulder while mom shook her head at them.

　　"That's because we had a long distance relationship and at some point, Juliette thought that our relationship wouldn't last so I had to take the decision. While I went to New York for this meeting, I made up my mind to bring her back to my home forever and hence the wedding" Zachary answered his question which made me clench my fists in anger.

　　"Liar!" I yelled at him in my mind.

　　"But it still doesn't make sense Mr. Sullivan. Why would you marry in such a hurry and in just a simple wedding when we all know that you are the most or should I say you 'were' the most eligible bachelor in Romania who became a Billionaire Businessman on his own? You could have married in a grand wedding celebration and how come we never heard of your girlfriend? As far as we know you were always single and you were rarely seen with the opposite gender. So how come?" Another one asked.

　　"Zachary never had a girlfriend?" I thought surprised after knowing this.

　　"And he is a Businessman who became a Billionaire by his own? Are you kidding me? What nonsense?" I thought.

　　"Well, that's because I like to keep my business and personal affairs to myself. And for the wedding, it was Juliette's idea. She wanted a simple wedding which we did" he answered and I looked here and there not knowing what to do.

　　"What about you ma'am? What do-" the reporter was cut off by Zachary.

　　"That's enough. As you all know we are having our wedding reception in here not some press conference so please allow us to enjoy the day. I would appreciate if you all join us for dinner. That would be great" Zachary said which made some of the reporters groaning but some looked pleased because they could have dinner.

　　"Okay. Sir please One last photo together" one of them asked and Zachary nodded reluctantly.

　　"Please hold her more close to you," he said and I felt his arm wrapping around my waist more tightly before he pulled me closer towards him. From my peripheral vision, I could see Mom smiling at us and looking at us dreamingly.

　　"Lovely photo," the reporter's cameraman said as he was done.

　　Zachary let me go and we walked towards other guests to meet them. The more time passed the more nauseous I was growing to feel.

　　"What are you doing?" I heard Zachary when I was holding my forehead.

　　"I am not feeling fell. My head is spinning" I said closing my eyes.

　　"What?" He asked and the next moment I felt his cold hand touching my forehead.

　　"Your body is warm. You have a fever. What were you doing not telling me or at least mom about it?" He whispered yelled at me.

　　"Will you please quit yelling? I am not feeling well and I don't have enough energy left to fight back with you" I said and heard him sighing.

　　"You are done. We are going back inside the house" he said and reached out towards me when a man interfered with a British accent.

　　"Mr. Sullivan," he said which made Zachary put on a professional smile and both of them shook their hands.

　　"It's great to know that you are married now," he said and reached his hand out for me to shake. I gave him my hand and instead of shaking he took it to his mouth and placed a kiss on it.

　　"Pleasure to meet you, Mrs. Sullivan," he said and I gave him an odd smile before removing my hand.

　　"Uh, just a minute" Zachary interrupted him. He bent down towards mine ear and whispered "Just go back to the room. Take the medicine that is in the drawer next to the bed and sleep. I am coming in five minutes after I talk to him. And take the bed. Can you do it?" He asked and I nodded.

　　"Go now," he said and nodding at the Man I walked towards the house.

　　It was the only thing that I wanted to do right now. And that was to sleep.

　　The most surprising thing was out of all the people present in the party only Zachary was the one who noticed my pain. But the question is why was he so worried and how did he notice my uneasiness when I was trying so hard to act being perfectly fine?

　　Why?
