It was already 2 am in the morning the time that should be used to sleep and recover after a day's activities, but in a bar there were still young people chatting with each other to spend the rest of their nights there. Ainsley sat right in front of the barista while fiddling with the wine in his hand. Countless how many times since sitting there he sighed heavily.

"So what do you really want to tell me?" A beautiful woman with a curious gaze looked at Ainsley who looked very gloomy at that time.

Ainsley was silent for a moment before finally answering the question.

"I'm getting married soon," Ainsley replied curtly.

"Ooh married" said the woman who asked casually and took a sip of her drink. "Wh.. bruthhh" the woman spit out the wine she gulped a few moments after coming to her senses

heard Ainsley's answer.

"Yakkk.. you, what are you doing" Ainsley was annoyed because his best friend named Melody spouted wine in his mouth so that it hit Ainsley's arm which was not covered by the cloth.

"You're kidding right?" Melody stared and shook Ainsley's shoulders firmly confirming that

he misheard. "I'm serious, and you must know that man" Answered Ainsley.

"Who? Tell me" Melody was made so curious, she is a person who will never be satisfied before hearing the full story.

"Kendrick Gibson," he answered, taking a sip of the wine in his hand.

“What? Several people sitting near them spontaneously looked at the 2 women.

“Shhhtt.. Mel, if anyone hears you talk like that it could put us in danger.” Ainsley hurriedly

quickly covered Melody's mouth with her hand before she could say any more.

"hhmpp.. puahh, yes, let go of your hand" Melody pushed away her friend's hand while pouting

because he was annoyed he hadn't finished cursing the man named Kendrick earlier. "Why so suddenly, what exactly happened?" Melody has started to control herself

and continued to ask Ainsley.

“actually…” Ainsley explained everything from the beginning in detail that his parents, namely

mr.Nicole suddenly decided unilaterally about Ainsley and Kendrick's marriage. The reason is none other than to strengthen their business which is on the verge of collapse, because the mistake he made was being deceived by investing in large amounts, he was willing to sacrifice his son, who he even loved so much. He reasoned that only Ainsley could resurrect the family business, Mrs. Nicole was not unwilling to defend her child, it's just that every word she said was always refuted with other reasons from her husband that made her just stare.

wondering the fate of his son. After telling a long story, Ainsley took Melody home because it was already 4 in the morning and she needed a break because in the morning both families would have a nuclear family meeting.

"Don't forget to let me know the results of your meeting later, Melody said before they both got into their respective taxis.

"Okay, bye mail. Be careful on the road" Ainsley gave Melody a short hug and took her taxi home.

Arriving at home Ainsley threw his body on his soft mattress while closing his eyes thinking about what would happen tomorrow.

After his mind wandered away thinking about things that could change Ainsley's life in the future, he could only sigh harshly and ruffled his hair "Hopefully I can get through it all" Ainsley thought.
