Next day
Bianca was sitting in the car, on her way to her subscription boutique, and contemplating. It's getting scarier and longer. Her family had started to prepare everything especially regarding her wedding dress. Because in addition to that, for party preparation problems such as decorations, buildings, catering, and others they will not need to worry about it. Victor's family had several networks in his company such as restaurants and cafes. The man simply flicked his finger and a magnificent feast would definitely be prepared easily.
But Bianca's feelings are becoming increasingly uncomfortable. Day after day their relationship is stretched, and the closer to their wedding day, Victor appears less and less. The man sometimes just replies to his short messages, never picking up the phone when he tries to call her. And the man didn't come to his house again last week.
Her parents often asked her why Victor never showed up and with a fake smile Bianca explained that everything was fine, only that Victor was very busy. But Victor had never been like this before, in spite of being busy, the man always took the time to meet him even though briefly at the weekend.
Bianca knows that Victor may not love her anymore. Ever since she confessed to her betrayal of John for being so hungry for attention from Victor, who had taken her too far and became pregnant, that love had already perished in Victor's eyes. Victor's gaze to her was different, flat and heartless even though the man had always been gentle with her.
But Bianca is arguably very grateful for the accident, the accident that made him in the diagnosis will not be able to walk again. Which makes Victor very sorry and in the end decided to take responsibility to Bianca.
Yes, Bianca knows she's taking advantage of Victor's guilt, but she loves Victor and can't imagine being abandoned by him. The betrayal he committed with Jhon was solely due to escape, he needed a warm and affectionate lover, who was always nearby. But Victor could not do it, the man was busy building his business, so he had little time with him. And in a state of emotional instability, John came and all the bad things happened. All Bianca did was to tie Victor up with her. He even willingly acted like an invalid, only for Victor to stick with him. This paralysis was his only attachment to Victor, and Bianca willingly struggled like this, only being able to walk when she was inside the house and only in front of her trusted people, all for the sake of having Victor.
He squeezed both fingers hard, In a moment. He just needs to be patient in a moment and Victor will be his full possession. She will be Victor's wife and the man will have no reason not to notice her.

The boutique was quite crowded, belonging to a very famous wedding dress designer. Bianca's driver pushed her wheelchair into the boutique. Bianca has made an appointment with Michael or often asked for his name to be changed to Michele, the designer and owner of the boutique.
"Hi beauty...???" Michael greeted him as the driver pushed his wheelchair into Michael's room. Bianca gestured to her driver to wait for her outside.
"Hi Michele, have you received my message for the description of my wedding dress???" Ask Bianca. Did Michele already receive my message for the description of her wedding dress.
"Already darling's.." Michael blinked one eye
"What a very specific description, you want your dress to be studded with extensive and glittering crystals huh? It's a good thing your fiance is rich. So you can ask for any dress you want, I will measure your body first, then I will apply it to vertical designs and then you just have to choose which one." Michael praises Bianca, what a very specific description, Bianca wants her dress to be strewn with expensive, sparkling crystals. Fortunately, Bianca's fiancee was rich. So Bianca can ask for whatever dress she wants. Michael will first measure the body of the new Bianca after that he will apply to some designs and later Bianca just choose which one. Michael glanced at the door. "By the way, your handsome fiance didn't drive you???" Ask Bianca where Bianca's handsome fiancee didn't drive her here.
"He's busy." Mumbled Bianca last. “I want this dress to be the best, Michele, it has to be the most beautiful and the most beautiful... This will be my first and only wedding." Bianca wants this dress to be the best, it must be the most beautiful and the most beautiful... This will be her first and only marriage.
"Of course, darling." Michael chuckled, then told his employees to measure Bianca's body.
Of course they were struggling because Bianca was in a wheelchair and could not stand. Bianca herself felt anxious because she could actually stand up, but she could not do it, because all her theatrics could be discovered.
"Maybe we should measure your body when Garviil is able to come with you, dear." Michael Yelled. Maybe they should measure Bianca's body if Garviil or Victor can come with her. Michael looked at Bianca regretfully, she was also a male but her body was slender and bulky so he could not help Bianca to have a pedestal to stand on. Meanwhile, most of the employees are women. "So Garviil can help you to stand." So Victor or Garviil can help her to stand up.
It was Michael who then broke the mood, he shouted in excitement and almost jumped up to the man. "Oh my gosh! Paul, are you back from New York???" Ask Michael. Paul has returned from New York.
The handsome man only smiled calmly, looking a little amused in the face of the excitement Michael welcomed him. He glanced at Bianca and nodded his head politely towards Bianca, making Bianca realize that she had been entranced to the man. Indeed Victor was handsome and remained number one to him, but Victor very rarely smiled, whereas this man, he was so cheap a smile and looked very sincere as bright as the sun,
"It looks like you and this lady are having some trouble. The events I can help." Paul Said. He looked as if Michael and the lady were facing a problem. Maybe he can help them.
Michael glanced at Bianca still smiling widely. "This is Paul, he's one of the investors in our boutique and salon. Do you mind Bianca if Paul helps you???" Michael asked Bianca. Tell me if Paul is one of his boutique and salon investors. Michael asks Bianca if she doesn't mind Paul helping her.
Who wouldn't mind being helped to stand up by that handsome guy??? Bianca thinks that sometimes pretending to be paralyzed there is merit as well.
"Bianca wants to make a beautiful wedding dress, Paul. We're going to measure her dress." Michael tells Paul that Bianca wants to make a beautiful wedding dress. They're gonna measure up her dress.
Paul threw a deep glance towards Bianca. "Too bad you're getting married, I envy that lucky guy." Paul's muttering meaningfully made Bianca's cheeks blush. Saying that if Bianca was going to get married, Paul felt jealous of the lucky man.
Michael patted Paul on the shoulder with a laugh. "Don't you tease Bianca, Paul. She's already got a fiance and is getting married, maybe you can turn your sights on another girl." Michael reminds Paul not to seduce Bianca. Since He already has a fiancee and is about to get married, maybe Paul can shift his target to another girl.
Paul seemed unconcerned by Michael's words, he still looked sharply at Bianca. He came closer and extended his hand gently,
"I'll help you up, excuse me." His whisper is soft near Bianca's ear. Paul apologizes and will help Bianca stand up. "Here, put your hands on my shoulders." Paul asks Bianca to put her hand on his shoulder.
Bianca felt her heart pounding hard, that masculine scent instantly enveloped her, making her tremble.
With his strong hand, Paul pulled Bianca up, then propped up her waist. Bianca's hand held tightly onto Paul's shoulder, then wrapped her arm there, all the while she acted with all her might to relax his leg, resting her weight on Paul's shoulder.
"Well wait a minute, we'll measure it." Michael's employees began to measure. The process was quite short. And then after Michael finished, Paul sat Bianca again in his wheelchair gently. The man slipped his black and golden card in Bianca's fingers,
"Contact me, anytime. I'll gladly drop all my business for you." He whispered slowly, then stood up straight, said something about the work to Michael, then waved his hand and stepped away. Paul asks Bianca to call him at any time. Paul would be happy to throw away all his business for Bianca.
Meanwhile Bianca was still tightly grasping the business card in her hand that was mesmerized.
