Marriage for Revenge
Approves

Tonight Maura looked unsettled, she rolled on her padded bed. His mind seemed to run around thinking about Dave and Valerie who were far away in Paris there.

"Valerie I miss you!" Murmuring Maura, he then looked at the ceiling of the room.

Suddenly crossed the face of Dave who was holding back anger when at Lake Annecy. It felt like Maura was hugging Dave, but he paled when he saw the expression of hatred from the look of the man's eyes.

Maura got up from her sleep, she then sat hugging her knees. Then his hand turned to feel the necklace that adorned his neck. He then removed the necklace, his fingers stroking the locket with a sad look.

"Tell Dave what I have to do to get you to let me go. Whatever I'll do as long as it's not married" murmured Maura as her hand moved the necklace. One more month Maura will hold his graduation, certainly not the wedding he hopes in the near future. He hopes to realize his goals. Become a successful businessman, and become a career woman. Deciding upon the blood of his parents as a legal person.

The sound of knocking on the door made Maura aghast, she saw her mother Sophie open the door. His hand carried a glass of warm milk.

"Mom, you surprised me!" Maura held his chest.

"Sorry to surprise you, baby. Mommy brought you some warm milk, "Sophie sat on the edge of the bed and kept a glass of milk on the nightstand.

"Mom, did Mommy already know Daddy's office was on fire?" Maura asked, he sat himself beside his mother.

"Yes, Son. Mommy already knows. Your Daddy said it was due to an electrical short circuit. Mommy's got some bad news, too."

Maura immediately looked at her mother's face with a wondering expression, she was so scared when she heard the bad news. "What bad news, Mom?"

Sophie sighed, her gaze muted "Mr Albert stopped financing Razel's treatment."

"How could that be, Mom? They will have to take responsibility, Mom," said Maura did not accept, he felt emotion when he heard this bad news.

"Come, Son. It seems like the Abellard Family is very angry with you. Uncle Eric and Aunt Esme were so confused as to where Razel's treatment cost, that for eye donor surgery alone it cost so much."

Maura clenched her hands furiously, she recalled Dave's threat. Did Dave really prove all his threats?

"Is this related to Dave's threat?" Maura asked herself.

Sophie watched her son, her forehead wrinkled in wonder of "Threat? What threat, son?"

"Two days ago Dave met Maura, Mom. He forced Maura to marry him. If Maura doesn't want to, Dave will destroy the people closest to Maura," Maura's voice so quivered, she cried in front of her mother.

"Maura thinks she's really proved her threat, Mom. Grandfa car is badly damaged, there are people who break the car glass in all parts. Then, Daddy's private office was on fire and now Razel. Maura's scared, Mom!" Maura sobbed, Sophie immediately hugged her beloved Princess. His worries became more. Sophie is confused as to what to do. If she tells her husband, Prosecutor Leo, of course Prosecutor Leo will extend the case and of course everything will be more complicated.

"Do you love Dave, son?" Sophie stroked Maura's hair affectionately.

"Maura doesn't know, Mom, that Maura is obviously scared of Dave right now. He was different from Dave whom Maura knew before."

Maura tightened her tears even more, she regretted everything so much. Especially when you hear bad news about Razel.

"True Mommy, I have to see Dave."

****

Maura is seen waiting for Dave around Lake Annecy. Last night Maura decided to send a short message to the man, Maura invited him to meet this afternoon. Dave immediately canceled all appointments with his client, he immediately bought a plane ticket to fly to southeast France.

"What do you want to see me?" Dave who had just come directly over to Maura and asked in a taut tone.

Maura looked at Dave's face, his face cold and expressionless. There was not the slightest smile that he showed in front of Maura. "I want to talk to you, sit down!"

Dave immediately sat himself in a chair, facing Maura. "Did you agree to marry me?"

"Dave please forgive me! I was wrong. But in my heart there is no intention to play you," Maura said softly.

"Curtain!! There is no intention? But you've been playing me. And I've been stuck with your game."

Maura holds Dave's hand, Dave immediately releases Maura's hand. He kept his hands out of the girl's reach. I don't know why Maura's heart felt so hurt when Dave treated her like this.

"I will do all your wishes, except get married. I don't want to get married yet, Dave," said Maura, her voice shaking but with all her might she held back her tears. He didn't want to look weak in front of Dave.

"You only have two choices. You either marry me or I destroy everyone closest to you!!"

Maura sobbed, she so did not recognize the man before her. Dave could not bear to see the sight that hurt his eyes, he saw Maura crying. Wanted his hand to wipe away the tears, but the rest of his heart refused. He should not care about Maura anymore.

Dave immediately got up from his seat, he walked away from Maura.

"Dave!!!" Maura exclaimed in her tears.

"I want to marry you, but you can't bother Razel and my family."

Dave turned his body, he approached Maura. His hand stroked Maura's reddish cheeks.

"Good girl!!" Her mouth was accompanied by her smile that looked terrifying.
