Marrying the Lord Ruler
CHAPTER 48

Charlotte stood up with her arms spread out and looked at the large mirror in front of her. Letting Mike and his two assistants match the wedding dress on her body. Charlotte put on a resigned face when she was forced to try out all the wedding clothes prepared for tomorrow's wedding. Xavier, the man sat on the sofa while staring intensely at him. A cold aura emanated on his handsome face. It made Charlotte think twice about refuting it.

Since the man's arrival to the room, the atmosphere began to change. Mike who was chatty since the first meeting is now just quietly continuing his work. It was as if they understood what to do if they were around Xavier.

There are a few dresses Charlotte tried. From wedding dress to evening dress. Charlotte was actually exhausted, the dress was not only heavy but made her uncomfortable. There was a dress that really exposed her sensitive area and it was very embarrassing.

“It's done. Now let me see Miss's face. I'll find what make up is suitable to wear.” Mike's hand stretched out to touch Charlotte's glasses.

Plaque!

“Ouch! Sick Miss. Why Miss hit my hand.” Mike complained while wiping his reddened hands.

“Liar like this only.” Charlotte's lips trembled slightly.

“I mean Miss, Miss will wear those ugly glasses at the wedding?” Mike refrained from laughing.

“Why? What's wrong?” ask Charlotte.

“That can't be Miss. Miss must look perfect at the wedding. And that ugly thing has to be removed. Understand miss?” mike tried to give the best understanding possible.

“This is my wedding, I have the right to choose what I wear.” I still don't want to take off my glasses.

“Nonaa…. Please understand. I promise to make Miss and Young Master's wedding as perfect as in an unforgettable fairy tale. Therefore, Miss must remove it and replace it with this.” Mike said while showing the latest output softlens. Charlotte immediately moved away.

“No. I'll keep this on!” he refused hard.

Charlotte doesn't want her real face exposed in public. Even his family had not known about it all this time. They must have blamed themselves for lying to them. Charlotte doesn't want that to happen. She had to be the ugly woman everyone else had thought of. It was a shield for him to avoid others from taking advantage of him.

Charlotte's attitude can not be separated from the view of Xavier who has been watching her since. The man stood up and approached them. “Go. Your task is done.”

“T-but Young Master, I haven't measured An's shirt.. Ah, well Young Master.” Mike bowed as Xavier stared intently at him. The man immediately gave his two assistants an eye code to pack. Then leave that room immediately. Now it's just Charlotte and Xavier there.

“You still want to hide your face?”

Charlotte looked up, but just stared at Xavier without saying anything.

“Everyone will know sooner or later. So release.” Xavier's Order.

“Stop reigning me. You think I'll obey you? Don't dream! For years I hid it. This time it will be the same.” Reject Charlotte.

Xavier smiled smirk. Then easily, his hand pulled firmly on Charlotte's chin. Forcing him to look at her. “No one dared to fight me. Including yourself. After becoming my wife, you must obey my words. Like it or not, that's your duty. Understood?!” For a moment they stared at each other with emotion. And then Charlotte's face just popped. Xavier turned around and walked away.

“Bad men!” scream Charlotte.

^

“Xavi, what's up?”

Grandfather came right when Xavier closed Charlotte's bedroom door. The voice of the woman's cry was clearly heard before the door closed. Makes grandfather wonder what kind of problem there is between them. Xavier approached Grandpa and hugged him for a while.

“Grandfather came home early? Why didn't you tell me?” ask Xavier.

“Kakek just wants to get back here soon. You're getting married, of course grandpa wants to see all the preparations.” Said Grandpa smiling.

“All have been dealt with Dean. Grandpa no need to worry.”

“Hmm, okay. You always leave everything to Dean. What else should grandfather do?” said Grandpa, laughing.

“We go to my room only Cake.” Take Xavier.

Grandpa walked first followed by Xavier. They're going down to Xavier's study on the ground floor. Xavier sat on the sofa, as well as Grandpa beside him.

“What's wrong with Charlotte? You guys still fighting?”

“Haha, what doesn't Grandpa know, hmm? What Charlotte did was because she didn't want to get married. The grandfather understood. But at least you're being nice to him. Women, if treated gently, will definitely melt. Don't be hard on him.” Said Grandpa advising.

“I've tried, but he's still stubborn.” Xavier.

“Married more attention. You'll feel the difference.” Grandpa.

Xavier sighed, restoring his jet-black hair. His eyes closed for a moment. Grandpa patted Xavier on the shoulder, “Grandfather knows you like him from the very beginning. Aye right?” smiling meaningfully.

Xavier flinched, “Ke-why did Grandpa say that? Who likes it.” Xavier turned his face away.

“Your attitude explains everything. If you're not interested in her, you'll turn down this match before Grandpa tells you to bring her here. Grandpa once said, You can refuse if you don't like it.” Saying Grandpa.

“All I did for Grandpa. That's it.” Xavier said still.

Grandfather leaned back his body and glared up. The corner of his lips was slightly pulled up. “Your father used to say the same thing. Until he finally married your mother.”

“Your father loved your mother until death did them part. Grandpa just wants, you do the same.” Grandfather stood up, patted back Xavier's shoulder, then walked out of the room.

Xavier fell silent, bowing his head thinking hard at Grandpa's every word to him.

“If I was nice to her, would she still be mine.” Mumbled slowly.

^^

The wedding day arrives.  After being dressed so beautifully in a white wedding dress, Charlotte sat in a special room waiting for the event to begin. Mike who dressed her since morning, so hysterical when he knew the real face of his future wife Muda. She admired Charlotte's natural beauty and did not imagine that betty Lavea's mirik woman was now transformed like a celestial angel, so beautiful and perfect, completely beyond her expectations all along.

Susanto walked into the room, immediately shocked by his daughter's current appearance. Charlotte's biological father several times convinced himself that the woman in front of him was his daughter who was branded ugly by everyone.

“Charlotte?”

“Dad.”

Susanto smiled, the woman is really his daughter. Susanto approaching, “You look a lot like your mama.”

“Really yah?”

“Yes. You're beautiful Charlotte. Young Master Xavier must be getting interested in you. You understand kan.”

Charlotte's happy face is now turning pias. His father still attaches importance to the way to win Xavier's heart in front of him. It's her wedding day, can't her father understand how she feels?

“Ya Father. Charlotte understand.” Charlotte lowered her head, squeezing both her hands full of regret.

Then Susanto took Charlotte in his arms, as a waiter asked them to prepare as the event was about to begin. They stood in front of the closed door where it connected them to the altar filled with all the invited guests.

Susanto again asked Charlotte, “Did Young Master know about your face?”

Charlotte replied with a bitter smile and refocused her gaze forward.

“Good. I'm proud of you.”

His heart ached, not a single person cared about him. Today should be the most important day for him. Her dream wedding day, imagining standing together with the man she loves. Promise to love each other and live. Yes, a dream that would only be a dream for her.

The door opened wide, Charlotte and Susanto walked slowly towards the altar. Where she's gonna show everyone her biggest secret. And again, all at the whim of the cruel man.
