Chapter 2

"I am Arleena, as Justin's fiancé, I am really very happy that you are willing to come. This event was held as a venue for engagement between the two sides of the family. Not only the core, but also the extended family."

All the guests are silent. None of them didn't smile seeing Arleena standing gracefully. Behind her, the lights reflected Arleena's beauty like a goddess in Roman stories.

Among the people in front of the stage, were Arleena's parents along with Justin's parents. Don't forget Gabriel and Sessy, Arleena's two best friends. There's even Gibran, Gabriel's cousin who helps Gabriel find out about Justin.

Also, Justin stood with a proud smile. Arleena's beauty was able to captivate his attention.

"Because earlier there was a meeting session between family members or private guests who may be invited, before entering the joint meal session, I will present something.

This look is dedicated to Justin, my fiancé."

The direction of Arleena's eyes fixed on Justin, making the direction of the other eyes also moved.

Instantly almost all the guests cheered teasing Justin. While Justin, who was standing with his uncle and two cousins, shook his head. Embarrassed.

When the eyes of the other guests were diverted to Justin, it was different from Gabriel, Sessy and Gibran who glanced at each other. Their crooked smiles curved after seeing Justin's shy reaction.

"What a disgusting reaction," Gabriel commented on Justin with a shudder.

Santa chuckled. He already knew about Justin's affair behind his back. Sessy casually sips her drink without a straw.

"He doesn't know what Arleena has prepared for him tonight."

Meanwhile on stage, Arleena had given Gabriel a meaningful smile.

"Can't wait, huh? Alright. Let's turn on the projector screen." Arleena gave the code to Keenan, her cousin, whom she asked to help with appearances.

Keenan widened his grin, because this was what he had been waiting for since two days ago. Arleena had told her everything before asking to help with her performance tonight.

The projector screen is turned on. Still showing black.

All the guests looked impatient and excited.

"This appearance is especially for Justin, someone with whom I have been in a relationship for almost seven years," said Arleena, who then stepped aside so as not to block the projector screen.

After the projector screen blacks out, a loading screen appears, until finally the loading has touched 100 percent.

"Please watch!" Arleena said enthusiastically.

Then the projector screen turns on.

In front of all of Justin's and Arleena's family members, as well as a few of their close friends, the screen flashed a video.

A room like a hotel room. The video was taken from the front of the big white bed.

Justin's smile slowly faded realizing a woman who was only wearing a bra and a triangular cloth covering something between her groin.

The woman was kneeling on the bed, her arms stretched out as if she was about to welcome someone. Not long after, a man appears who greets the camera before finally embracing the woman, pressing his lips against her nape.

The next second, in front of all family members on Arleena and Justin's side, the video shows erotic views. Justin's affair and a booking woman.

silence. All the guests looked at each other. Except for Keenan and Gibran, Gabriel's cousin—the hotel manager, who already know that Arleena will show this video.

Justin immediately moved his voice, "ARLEENA! WHAT IS THAT?!"

Arleena curved her smile. So quiet, but sharp.

"Isn't this you, darling? Yesterday evening, twelve minutes past eleven at night, at the Hotel Tree Tycoon."

What happened next was Justin's mother screaming in surprise, prompting the rest of the family to come over and calm her down.

The guests whispered, some of them covered their mouths in disbelief, some others held their breath from shock and couldn't make a sound.

Gabriel and Sessy, who were motionless in place, were transfixed watching the hot scene of Justin and the booking woman in the video.

"Why, honey? Surprised?" Arleena made a sound, then turned to Keenan. "Show me something else, my dear cousin Kenan."

Sixth smiled disdainfully. But happily, he changed the screen display.

The video changes to the notes view.

"Proof of chats and hotel reservations at eleven past twelve minutes at night. Hotel Tree Tycoon, South Jakarta."

Justin was speechless.

Then the projector screen changed again. Screenshot of one of the chat applications showing a chat room between Justin and one of the booking women.

"Chat from the man's side, Justin—my fiancé, says we'll meet tomorrow night at the Hotel Tree Tycoon. Don't forget to come no later than eleven at night. I've sent you the address," Arleena read the chat in the application's chat room.

Then Arleena turned around to face the invited guests of the event.

"I will bear the cost of hotel accommodation, he said," continued Arleena, who had memorized Justin's message to the booking woman below.

Arleena's grin curved. His gaze fell on Justin.

"Wow, four different booking women, and all of you are responsible for hotel lodging expenses. Not only that, the hotels where you stay are very luxurious.

You can spend almost tens of millions to book other women, but let me alone bear all the costs of our contract and wedding reception?" Arleena asked sarcastically.

Arleena's tone was completely emotionless. There was no sadness in his expression. However, through the reflection of light from the lamp that refracted into the face, his eyes implied sharpness. Highlighting deep anger at Justin.

"How is it? My performance is fun, isn't it?" Arleena continued asking, widening the knot full of satisfaction.

"JUSTIN!" Suddenly a voice rose from the right side.

All eyes turned. It wasn't just Justin who was surprised, but Justin's uncle and his two cousins ​​who stood on either side of him.

Justin widened his eyes in surprise. A few meters away from him, the figure of Ernando—Justin's father, walked up to him. His face growled angrily, staring straight at Justin all the way.

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING THIS?!" Ernando asked Justin, snapping.
