Chapter 5 Cancel Agreement

Dean scrunched up his face at the words. Accelerated? Haha, dream? Or... is there something Kanayya wants to do that's why he wants a breakup as soon as possible?

"Why? You want a quick divorce so you can marry the security guard?" he asked flatly, making Kannaya frown, not understanding.

"Security guard? Where's the security guard, Mister?" She asked, making Dean snort.

The man folded his arms across his chest. "Pretending to be innocent, huh?"

Kannaya took a deep breath. "I don't know who, Mister. You might be able to tell me who, so I can remember who you mean," she said softly, making Dean take a deep breath.

He looked at Kannaya's face, which looked completely real. As if she didn't know who Dean was referring to. However, it's good. It means that man is not in this girl's heart.

"Back to the initial discussion about divorce. Looks like I want to change the agreement," he said flatly, making Kannaya raise his eyebrows.

"How, Mister?"

"As noted in point one, I, as the first party, am free to change the agreement's contents. I will not drop a divorce after fourteen months. I want to make you my own. You can't argue or have to add compensation," Dean said casually, widening Kannaya's eyes.

"Why? I mean, why did the rules change all of a sudden? This is not according to the agreement, Mas," she said in disbelief, making Dean smile casually.

"Yes, I know. However, when I think about it. You're just an orphan, and you don't have parents anymore. You have no purpose in life anymore. So, if you're with me, you won't regret it either, right?"

Kannaya blinks a few times. "Mister... I still have my own goals and desires. Why should it be with you? I can also find my way of life when I get divorced and graduate later. We got married without love. Why do you want to live with me, who doesn't even bring you any benefit?" She asked not to accept.

"I don't care whether you accept it or not. I've decided, and I will never be my word for this." Dean got up, stepped close to him, and stood before Kannaya before lowering his head and approaching the girl's face. "I've made my decision, and whatever you're going to do in the future, everything needs my permission. I'm your husband, you remember, right?"

Kannaya's body got goosebumps hearing her husband's voice which felt so intimidating. She looked up and stared at Dean's face until their gazes met.

"Mister ... What has happened? On what basis did it have to be like this?" She asked, not to understand his eyes that looked starting to be depressed and sad. "How long do you want me to be Mister's wife? Ah, the wife masquerading as a servant? I also have goals, and I want to make them come true after college graduation. How can Mister even hold me like this?" She asked with tears starting to fall.

Was it because last night Dean started to act like this? However, why make it difficult? Isn't Kannaya also not holding her accountable? Why did Dean even want her to be a wife longer?

"You can continue your dream by staying with me, and I will not forbid it. One thing you can't do is contradict what I said." Dean said with a relaxed face and straightened her body.

Kannaya wiped her tears and got up too until her body and Dean's were not far apart, and she looked at her husband's face.

"Mister..." her call made Dean raise his eyebrows. "Are you aware of what happened last night?"

Gosh!

Dean was happy when Kannaya didn't bring up last night's incident to make his intention to do all this smell. It's just that, Kannaya even brought it up with a look that was still teary and crying.

"I'm not holding you accountable, not at all. I don't even dare, Mister. I beg you, don't make it difficult for yourself. You don't love me, and neither do I. Forget about last night's incident; focus on one thing we will do in the future. In less than a year, we will be divorced and living separately. There's nothing to change, and I can't-"

"Unfortunately, I can't either!" Dean said while holding Kannaya's arm and staring at the girl's beautiful face with a deep gaze until Kannaya swallowed hard. Her face seemed to start to twitch. "I can't, Kannaya. My feelings are complicated. If I told you, it would also be pointless and difficult. So, I want to live it and understand my feelings. You can't refuse, or I can't be shy."

Kannaya seemed to catch her breath with her tears escaping again from her eyelids. "Mister..."

"Shh..." Dean hissed with his warm and gentle face. "Let me understand my feelings first. I'm going to work, and I'll take you to campus."

"No." Kannaya shook her head and then turned her face away. "I... I have other work to finish, and I still have to go to the photocopy to print out last night's assignment. You go first. I'll ride the electric bicycle," she said, holding back his tears, also holding back her sobs.

For some reason, Dan's words hurt to hear. Kanaya doesn't want to be here, in this position, to be the wife of a mysterious, cold, and arrogant man from Dean, who has always been rude and firm. Kannaya doesn't want to, he really can't even imagine it.

"Okay, I'll go first," Dean said while removing his hand from Kannaya. "Everything you need can use the card I gave you."

Dean walked away after speaking, deliberately leaving Kannaya and not forcing him because it would only make their feelings fall apart if forced. He wanted to explore his feelings about what he felt for Kannaya. Also, she wants to let Kannaya clear her heart and accept this all.

"Hello? Yes, meet me at the office. There's something you have to do."

"Yes, Mister."

Dean stepped toward the elevator, got in, and leaned against it after pressing the button to go downstairs.

"For two months, she has made me like this. Two months... how about another twelve months? I don't want to regret it. All this time, I've been close to women, and I feel lazy. If she is the right girl, what's wrong?" he muttered as he closed his eyes.

His parents were so old they just did what they liked and freed Dean, who had changed drastically due to his brother's death to do anything. Dean doesn't get close to other people easily, but it was when he was with Kannaya and saw the girl's face for the first time he didn't feel there was anything wrong with him so much that he even married him even though it was only to compensate for a torn suit.

"Thinking again...she was not an ordinary girl. I don't feel there's anything wrong with him being able to do all that. You need to understand how you feel, Dean, before it's too late and you lose it."
