Chapter 36 Marriage

• Alexa was sitting and looking at herself in the mirror. ‘This day, I will get tied to the Devil forever. I will never be free.’ A tear escaped from her eyes.
• ‘I’m only 21, for God’s sake… Why do I need to suffer all this misery? What did I do in my past life to earn me this suffering? I don’t deserve this shit.’ She cried silently while waiting for someone to call her.
• The door opened, and she hurriedly wiped her tears away. It was Maxime who entered the room. She is wearing a simple blue maxi dress. “Hey-- Oh, are you crying?” Maxime asked when she noticed Alexa’s makeup in the reflection got smudged. “Don’t cry now. Look…” Maxime pointed at their reflection. “You look like a panda now that your makeup got ruined.” They both chuckled. “At least, I made you smile.” Alexa smiled at her sincerely.
