AN UNEXPECTED GROOM

When Roxane regained her footing, she looked up. What greeted his eyes was a beautiful face.

The face was chiseled and his features were exquisite.

The face belonged to a man who was wearing a black three-piece suit.

After helping Roxane, he quickly let go of her arm. His eyes didn’t linger on her as he headed towards the banquet hall.

– Wait a minute!

Roxane reached out and grabbed his sleeve.

The man frowned slightly as his eyes glowed with an icy glow. He turned around and looked at the young woman with delicate features. Even though she wore makeup and a wedding dress, it couldn’t hide her young age. His face was round and small, carrying a hint of childishness. In fact, she looked like she was still underage. The only word that came to mind when he saw her was ‘young’.

Perhaps Roxane’s big eyes that shone with tears looked pitiful, he resisted the urge to push her hand away.

“Thank you,” Roxane said, opening her cherry red lips.

For some reason, her heart was pounding in her chest, and her hand holding her sleeve felt like it was about to burst into sweat.

“It’s okay,” the man said, parting his thin lips slightly.

He looked down and looked at the small hand that was still holding his sleeve before saying in a low voice:

– Let go.

Instead of letting go, Roxane tightened her grip on his sleeve. She watched the icy expression on his face as a bold and absurd idea appeared in his mind. She asked :

– Mr. Flores, will you marry me?

The man’s eyes widened slightly in shock. For a moment, he wondered if the person in front of him was crazy.

Roxane knew how ridiculous his words sounded. The man probably thought she was crazy. However, she had no choice. If the marriage was canceled and her grandmother found out that she had been abandoned, she certainly wouldn’t be able to bear it. She had already lost Diego and her love; she couldn’t lose her grandmother who loved her most in the world. She wouldn’t allow her grandmother to leave without peace of mind.

Roxane repeated:

– Mr. Flores, you just have to stay married to me for a year! In exchange, I will save your sister.

The man’s heart moved upon hearing these words. His gaze grew complex as he looked at her. He asked :

– Do you know me ?

She licked her dry lips and nodded.

– My brother is your friend. I saw your photos on his phone.

The man was Sebastien Flores. He was the president of the Flores group and he was also the head of the Flores family. Although he had been running the family business for ten years, he kept a very low profile. No newspaper or magazine dared to publish his photos. For this reason, few people recognized him.

Sebastien was silent. After a while he asked:

– Can you really save my sister?

Roxane’s eyes lit up as she nodded.

– I never lie! If I lie, you can do whatever you want to my brother.

Sebastien was speechless.

-…

…

Meanwhile, Enzo, who was in a hurry to find the best man in the world, sneezed.

…

The whole place was quiet. It was softly lit by yellow lights.

The duo faced each other in silence.

In that moment, it was as if there was a mysterious force binding them together.NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.

After a long time, the man only said one word,

– All right.

…

Those close to the Rios family had heard about the wedding cancellation and they were all ready to leave. However, they did not expect to be told that the marriage would continue. With that, they returned to their seats again.

When the wedding march sounded and the doors opened, Roxane entered slowly, holding on to a man’s arm.

Everyone was stunned. They weren’t surprised that the groom had changed, but the new groom was… just too handsome.
