Revenge Marriage ~ Replaced My Cheating Groom

"Wow! Look at this, who's already home?!"

It really sucks.

Hugo rolled his eyes in annoyance while exhaling roughly. Not long after, he immediately threw his body just like that on the sofa. Letting all the aches and pains evaporate into the air.

"Argh, are you trying to welcoming me or mocking me?" Hugo replied in between closing his eyes.

On the other hand, Albrack—Hugo's older brother, stepped closer. Casually flung himself beside Hugo, making the couch he was sitting on sway.

Hugo chuckled angrily. "Argh, Dean! Can you sit down slowly? Do you just act on purpose because I'm sitting on this sofa?"

Albrack, who deliberately threw himself hard, chuckled. Feeling satisfied because he managed to provoke the anger of his only younger brother.

"Uluh, uhuh, uhh, my beloved, why do you have to be so angry all the time?" Albrack deliberately teased Hugo with pouting lips.

Hugo's face turned disgusted. Really didn't expect that, being left for three months, his only older brother had a brain error. Even though three months ago when Hugo said goodbye to work out of town, Albrack acted like he was cool.

"You know, you really disgusting?" Hugo asked and lambasted at the same time.

Albrack immediately laughed. It is very memorized that Hugo never liked watching himself act disgusting.

"What's going on? Dad heard noise in the living room, hm?"

Someone's baritone voice caught Hugo and Albrack's attention. Hugo just wanted to close his eyes. However, the arrival of Bernard, their father, made Hugo's eyes open again.

Suddenly Hugo and Albrack stood up from the sofa. Waiting for the arrival of Bernard who walked down the stairs alone. Until finally Hartono arrived before Hugo and Albrack.

"Hello, Dad. Hugo has finished his work assignment." Hugo said as he approached Bernard, shook his father's hand.

Bernard smirked at Hugo who was shaking his hand.

"Already home, but instead of being friendly with papa, instead lying on the couch?" Bernard was deliberately sarcastic, meant to be a joke.

Hugo grinned. But Albrack arched a mischievous grin. The idea of ​​wanting to play a prank on Hugo instantly made his grin widen.

"That's right, that's right! Wow. Hugo doesn't respect papa at all!" Albrack shouted mocking Hugo.

"Aish! Shut up, You!" Hugo was provoked to annoyance, turned to look at Albrack full of feeling annoyance.

Albrack laughed, making Bernard, who had just sat on the single sofa, shake his head. It was nothing new for him to witness his two sons bickering and taunting each other.

"Sit down, you two, come talk to papa," said Bernard, glancing at the long sofa for three people next to him.

Then Hugo and Albrack sat on the sofa that Bernard meant. Hugo's breath was heard.

"Mommy how are you, Dad?" asked Hugo. "Why is daddy at home? Didn't accompany mom at the hospital?"

"Mom is fine. She still has to be hospitalized after surgery three days ago. By the way, you don't know daddy always goes back and forth to the hospital after work, Hugo."

"Just today daddy was at home because mom forced daddy not to keep accompanying him," explained Bernard. At the end of his sentence, Bernard sounded a little louder.

"Hey, you don't know how busy daddy is among the other servants, even mom's personal assistant?" Albrack replied, retorted. "Mom is getting tired of seeing Dad constantly in the hospital."

Hugo surprised. "Really? But mom's condition is better after the operation three days ago?"

Bernard curved a proud smile. His head nodded. "Yes, thank God. Your mother was in pain before. In fact, you were not beside her and accompanying her."

Hugo's face immediately turned somber. Of course it provoked satisfaction for Dean.

"How are you, Mr. Hugo? Why don't you accompany Mama and instead go out of town?" sneered Albrack outright.

Hugo hissed, looking annoyed at Albrack. "I worked, managed daddy's company when daddy couldn't hold control temporarily. So, indirectly, I helped daddy."

Actually, after returning from work out of town, Hugo went straight to Arleena and Justin's family gathering last night. He didn't come home to this house—where his family lived.

Hugo also went straight to Arleena's apartment to make sure Arleena was okay. Because of that, he just returned home this morning to his parents' house, purposely not giving any news of his whereabouts last night.

Albrack raised his eyebrows with a smile as if he wasn't sure. While Hugo patted Albrack's shoulder.

"Don't be annoying, Sis. I'm twenty-nine years old and learning martial arts," Hugo said firmly to Albrack. His tone was calm, deliberately mocking back.

Dean immediately remembered something after Hugo mentioned his age.

"Oh, yes, you already have a partner? Since you just mentioned your age. You met the woman of your dreams there, didn't you?" asked Albrack in droves.

How ridiculous. It was true that Albrack's unexpected thought still had not disappeared. The question was asked with a face without guilt.

For the umpteenth time, Hugo was forced to sigh. Hearing that question made him remember how busy he was managing some rather messy things at his papa's company in London.

"Bro, I'm too busy to think about finding a girl," Hugo replied slowly, but one could see the feeling of being lost on his face.

Albrack looked at Hugo unsure.

"Are you sure?" asked Albrack one more time.

"Hm. How could I think of that when I was entrusted with cleaning up messy things at papa's company?" Hugo asked back to Albrack.

The house maid had already put the drinks down for the three of them. While Hugo thanked the waiter and took a drink, Albrack seemed to be thinking about something.

"What are you thinking about, Hugo? Your sister has already answered your question clearly," said Bernard, who was also taking the drink on the table in front of his eyes.

"That's not it. Why did I suddenly think that you weren't looking for a girl because you already liked Arleena?"

Spontaneously, Hugo choked on his drink for a second after hearing Albrack's question. Impressed origin frankly indeed. But Hugo couldn't avoid being shocked because he didn't expect Albrack to think of that.

Hugo patted his chest while coughing. For some reason, that made Albrack immediately arch a satisfied smile.

"Why are you so surprised?" Albrack looked at Hugo mischievously.

After a few seconds later, Hugo's coughs had started to subside. His eyes were so annoyed at Albrack.

" Gosh, don't be ridiculous. How can I like Arleena, my own little friend?" Hugo's voice sounded disapproving.

"That's it!" Albravk snapped his fingers. Even more enthusiastic to find out. "Because you two have been friends since childhood, it supports your feelings for him!"

Very weird. Hugo couldn't stop thinking about Albrack who seemed to have a thousand unreasonable thoughts. On top of that, Albrack was stubborn.

Just watch now. It's been denied, but Albrack still thinks that Hugo has feelings for Arleena. Even the look on his face conveyed how curious Albrack was.

How could Hugo like Arleena? After all, they've only been friends since childhood. Impossible, right, for the two of them who are busy with their respective jobs, to harbor feelings?

"Arleena is engaged. I heard the news two months ago," said Hugo, feeling annoyed. He deliberately pretends not to know about Arleena's engagement.

Albrack raised both eyebrows. "Hey, don't you know the latest news on Arleena and her fiancé?"

"News? What?" Hugo is confused and curious at the same time. But nothing went through his brain.

"Arleena is cheated on by her fiancé even though their wedding will be held in one week," Albrack answered.

Hugo's movement who wanted to put the glass to his lips stopped instantly. His entire attention was instantly drawn after hearing Albrack's answer.

"Have an affair?" Fatur's voice turned low, full of emphasis between disbelief and guessing. He show his surprised expression. "How could his fiancé be cheating on him?"

Albrack shrugged his shoulders. "It turns out that his fiancé often books other women behind Arleena's back. Not just two or three times, but more than five times."

Hugo was astonished. Absolutely nothing to say. Even the intention of sipping a drink void.

He turned to look at Albrack curiously.

"Ah, I don't know what's going on in her fiancé's brain. How can a woman as beautiful as Arleena, and achievers, be betrayed?" he asked again.

"How the story?"

Albrack turned his gaze to Hugo. But at that moment he was shocked to realize that Hugo's eyes had turned sharp. His jaw tightened and his tone was emphatic.

"Um..." Albrack became clumsy. "Last night was the gathering of Arleena's extended family and her fiancé. I got a video when Arleena appeared on stage exposing evidence of her fiancé's affair."

Hugo frowned. From the look on his face, he was still curious and wanted to hear more explanations. More he hear about Arleena's fiancé affair, the more he felt really mad.

"In fact, Arleena shared a hot video of his fiancé with the booking girl," Albrack continued, somewhat anxiously.

"His fiancé had sexual intercourse with a booking woman? More than four times?" Hugo asked.

"Y-yes...."

Hugo turned his gaze to Albrack, looked at him seriously.

"I will show him who he is dealing with."
