Chapter 6. Seeking to Acknowledge
Sarah had no idea how challenging it would be to be a billionaire's wife.
There must be a good reason why a marriage that the public should know about is kept secret. Rayen maintained his distance even though they were traveling.
like right now, to illustrate. Rayen was rather passive during their time at the playground. Rayen has just finished watching Sarah go on a ride. Sarah appeared to be enjoying the horse-drawn carriage that followed its route. Every now and then, Sarah glanced at Rayen.
as he gestured with his hand.
Rayen just nodded slightly, keeping his eyes on Sarah, and offered no other response. When Sarah got that kind of response, she began to question whether their marriage was truly that boring. Rayen does not display the image of the husband he has always imagined. We have to appear foreign even when we are overseas." Sarah gave a flimsy smile as she looked down.
"I am, in fact, his wife, correct?"
Sarah has been somewhat reserved ever since she left the play area earlier. Sarah did not say anything during the trip; she just went wherever Rayen led her.
"Why?" Seeing that Sarah was not as excited as she had been the first time they had been in Switzerland, Rayan inquired. Sarah turned to face Rayen, the driver.
"Brother, what—why?" Sarah scowled in disbelief. He had no idea where Rayen's talk was headed.
"Why have not you spoken anything for this long? Are you bothered by something?"
Rayen asked Sarah frankly about her changes without holding back. The man knew very well where he was. There was no escaping Sarah's demeanor, which was obviously uncomfortable.
Sarah gently shook her head. "I was simply wondering, how long would this have to last in our marriage?" Sarah had just let out a sigh. It has such a hefty sound.
When Sarah finally tells Rayen the truth about how she really feels, she is hoping that he will come around or at the at least, that the distance he is kept since the beginning will gradually thin. But hope is still hope. Particularly after Rayen added, "Sar, we have been discussing this since the start of the marriage. Please be mindful of this."
"Yes, I am aware of that. All I want to know is when this is going to end. My spouse is Sis Rayen. But it is not how I feel at all."
Rayen furrowed his brows. He gave Sarah a quick glance and went back to driving. How would you like me to proceed? Be kind? "Romantic?" questioned he. "I am not the one, sorry, if you are hoping that way. This is who I am, and I will not change.
anything pertaining to my personality."
Sarah felt that she was being accused by Rayen's response, which was very painful for her. If Sarah sought to assert her right to be a wife, it appears that she was mistaken. He will still be subjugated by Rayen. Furthermore, who is he? He is obviously inferior to Rayen because he possesses everything. But ever since their marriage, he had been bothered by something.
What is Brother Rayen really trying to hide from me? What then is his motivation for marrying me? If I do not experience a true marriage along the way," Sarah's mind raced.
They traveled to Switzerland for a week without making any changes to their relationship. Sarah's vacation was quite enjoyable. But Rayen was used to it, for the most part. Nothing lovely occurred in between Rayen and Sarah. As usual, everything is flat.
Since she arrived in Switzerland, Sarah has made it her mission to avoid dwelling too much on her family's current predicament. Sarah would be better off taking the circumstance with an open heart than stressing herself out. Rayen saw changes in Sarah once she got back to Indonesia. Sarah was the happy girl she had been the first time around again. Initially, they went on a blind date.
"Dear Brother Rayen, Two suits, complete with shirts and ties, are ready. Which one, brother, would you like to select?"
Sarah went up to Rayen, who had just gotten out of the shower. Rayen's hair appeared damp and he was still dressed in a bathrobe. To be honest, what brings Sarah joy is the vista in the morning. The reason was that, even though Ryan was secretly admiring the man, Sarah did a good job of hiding the fact that he was getting sexier as soon as the man got out of the shower.
"Just this one," Rayen remarked, selecting his outfit with his right hand while Sarah held it.
Rayen received the office attire from Sarah, who grinned.
"Your clothing, brother."
"Gratitude."
Sarah prepared the watch on the table and nodded. Brother Rayen checked the files yesterday; I have organized them and placed them on the nightstand. Please give me a call if you need anything; I will head to the kitchen first."
Sarah bolted left the room as soon as Rayen nodded.
The girl was usually grinning. Sarah had been making an effort to stay in her wife's position for the previous few days. It did not bother Rayen that Sarah was attempting to meet his wants. Yes, even though Rayen still perceives it as alien. Still, the man made an effort to accept it.
They were having a great time eating breakfast together. Rayen had asked for bread and a glass, and Sarah had complied. Remember that Sarah had Rayen's vitamins ready as well.
Sarah really had something she wanted to tell the man. But he was worried Rayen might be upset with him or ban him. seeing that Sarah appeared to be interested in speaking with him. At last, Rayen said something. "What is not right? Are you in need of anything?
Sarah felt hesitant to compliment Rayen's abilities, but Rayen repeated, "Just say it, it is okay," before gorging on the remaining bread in his palm. Sarah gave Rayen a thumbs up.
"Like this, Miss Sis. Can I resume my work now?"
Ryan furrowed his brows, and the man ceased to chew his food. "At Work?" Sara gave a nod.
"Yes, sir. Sitting around is boring to me." Rayen took a while to respond.
The man went first, consuming the last of the food in his mouth. "Okay, feel free to do as you please. I will let you."
Sarah's face brightened up and she said, "Thank you, Brother." He did not think Rayen would give in to it so quickly. Sarah enjoys this aspect of her hubby. Sarah was never prevented by Rayen from doing anything she pleased. including carrying out work at the same hotel without being aware that Rayen owns it.
Such a situation was actually crafted by fate. Thus, it appears that Sarah and Rayen are connected by the same fate that has always bonded them. even before to their marriage.
"You have lectures in the morning?" When Rayen saw that Sarah was already dressed nicely, he inquired.
"Yes, sir. There is a morning class today. Yes, of course, Lexa and I will go after class. Is that acceptable?
How far away do you want to go?
"They just so happen to be having an exhibition, which is a painting exhibition. There are many excellent painters there, of course. I would like to see them.
"All right. However, exercise caution. Avoid returning home too late.
"All Set, Brother!" Sarah joyfully cried out.
Rayen stood up, and Sarah did the same. The young lady accompanied her spouse to the main entrance.
"I will speak first. Please do not hesitate to notify me of any developments." Rayen gave his wife a head rub.
"Yes, sir." Sarah grinned once more, her beauty evident. Even without elaborate clothing and a lot of makeup, Rayen has to concede that Sarah is stunning.
With a wave of her hand, the girl released Ryan, who was trailed by other cars belonging to the Bodyguards. "Gosh, I still can not get used to my spouse becoming a billionaire." With a laugh, Sarah hurried back inside the house.
Being able to shop the mall endlessly is heaven on earth for some ladies. But unlike Sarah, who also enjoys cooking and cuisine, Sarah also has a strong interest in painting.
For Sarah, painting has a special significance. Sarah is constantly in awe of every brushstroke that is applied to the canvas.
He went to the exhibition by himself, devoid of Alexa, to that extent.
Alexa's girlfriend informed her that her grandmother was in the hospital, which is the cause. Alexa had to go with her lover as a result. Sarah is currently admiring the painting that has been drawing her interest in this location. Someone questioned, "What about the artwork?" and successfully had Sarah tiptoe since she was concentrating too much on studying the painting.
Thus, he was unaware of the man's existence.
Sarah gave a clumsy smile. "Ahaha. It is a really lovely painting. I feel as though the painting's details are trying to draw me into that emotion. This reminds you of a woman who purposefully conceals a lot of her sentiments, does not it?
The man studied Sarah's picture and positioned himself beside her. Indeed, you are correct. Depending on how one interprets it, this picture might have multiple meanings. "I enjoy drawing her expressions because they are so full of secrets," the foreign man turned his head.
"Miss, I am glad you like my painting." A stocky, attractive man with a tattoo on his left side grinned warmly.
Sarah blinked multiple times, taken aback by the man's admission as he turned to face her.
"You are the painter, then? The man grinned.
"Oh my goodness, I have no idea what to say. This painting truly appeals to me. And fortunately, I got to see the painting in person today."
Sarah was ecstatic. Ryan could infer that much, at least, from the footage that he viewed on his iPad. Yes, Rayen had been ordering his men to keep a covert eye on Sarah.
