Chapter 11

Isabella's POV
Not wanting to see Lucas looking at me here. I immediately said goodbye to the owner of the house to go home. Although I actually still wanted to chat longer with Ethan here. But what can I do to anticipate bad things happening? I immediately withdrew from there.
"Sorry, it looks like I have to say goodbye to go home soon."
"Where are you going? Why are you in such a hurry?" Mr. Marcus asked in surprise.
"Do I need to take you home?" Ethan offered. Maybe he still missed me and wanted to be with me longer. Or maybe he was also worried about my condition on the trip later. But I refused and wanted to go home alone.
"No! No need, just leave me alone. In the meantime, you can get ready for tonight. I'll wait for him to come!"
"Okay, if that's what you want." He sighed.
"See you tonight, my future daughter-in-law. Hopefully, we can arrive on time and not too late."
I smiled and was then returned by both of their smiles. Not wanting to measure the time anymore, I immediately made my way home. Until I arrived at my house.
"You're home? You said you're going to stay longer in the Shadow Fang Pack environment?"
"Um, no, Dad, I don't feel at home."
"Hahaha... You're always up to something."
"Oh yeah, Dad."
"Yes, why?"
"Tonight Ethan and Mr. Marcus will come to this house."
"This is our house?"
"Yes to continue the discussion about my and Ethan's wedding plans that were postponed."
"Umm, that's good; later, we'll prepare the most delicious dishes for my future in-laws."
I smiled and left to take a shower immediately. Because it felt very hot especially after being attacked all over on the way to Ethan's house.
I went into my room and immediately went to the bathroom. Feeling tired and hot, I felt that by pouring water on my head it would feel lighter.
After taking a shower, I immediately got dressed and waited for nighttime to come without doing anything at all. So, of course, my mind drifted back to things that were not there. I went back to studying the mysterious Elara. Lucas' story really penetrated the roots of my mind. So that it stuck and was difficult to get rid of.
I suspected that Lucas' story might be the real truth. Where I had indeed lived in the past as Elara that he told me about. I spent time alone in this room just to fantasize about things that didn't make sense at all.
Until I heard my father's voice calling me from behind the bedroom door while knocking on the door.
Knock knock knock
"Isabella, are you ready? Ethan and Mr. Marcus have arrived."
I was shocked and immediately got up from my seat.
"Yes, Dad, wait a minute; I'll be there in a minute!"
I immediately got ready and looked at my appearance in the mirror. After feeling neat I immediately went out of the room to meet them. It didn't take long for me to be in front of them.
"Please eat the food, let's talk about the wedding plans after we finish eating so we can focus more." My father invited me.
Finally, we had dinner first. After that, we immediately talked about Ethan and I's wedding plans.
"So when do you think Ethan and Isabella will get married?" My father asked enthusiastically.
Before Mr. Marcus or Ethan could answer, I immediately blurted out that the wedding had to be held as soon as possible.
"Tomorrow!" I said spontaneously.
"Huh, tomorrow?" Everyone at the dining table was shocked to hear my decision.
"Yes, tomorrow! Isn't the sooner the better?"
"But that's not the concept, Isabella." Ethan seemed to disagree with my decision.
"Don't you want to marry me?"
"I want to, but..."
"But what?”
"Don't be so hasty! It's not good to be hasty."
"Oh, so the point is you really don't want to marry me."
In front of the dining table, there was only an argument between me and Ethan, who questioned the time of our wedding. As for our father, he was just confused seeing our behavior.
"Okay, I agree."
Everyone was shocked including me, not believing that Ethan suddenly agreed to my request.
"Is that right Ethan? Are you sure?" His father asked again to make sure.
"Yes, that's right, Dad, I'm sure as hell ready to marry Isabella tomorrow morning."
I still couldn't believe Ethan's readiness.
"Okay then, let's prepare from now."
"Yes, that's how it should be." My father replied.
"But I only want this event to be attended by a handful of people and be private," I said emphasizing.
"Huh, why?"
"Because I don't want the same chaos as during the proposal to happen again."
"Umm okay then, we try to minimize information related to your marriage."
"Yes, that's better."
After finishing the discussion, we finally agreed and immediately ended the meeting tonight. Continue to prepare for tomorrow's event which is only a matter of hours away. I feel very nervous about getting married to Ethan. Although my mind still has a gap to think about Lucas. He must be devastated and can't accept this reality. But what can I do that Ethan and I also have the right to be happy not only thinking about Lucas' feelings. Lila's words have real potential. Until I dared to make a request that I felt was also quite selfish and one-sided. But fortunately, Ethan's side agreed. So that I didn't lose Ethan. If they hadn't agreed then I would have really regretted doing it.
I also started to have difficulty sleeping tonight. Plus, the night wind that was enough to sweep my skin penetrated the layers of my pores. Everything became colder to the roots of my head. Making me even more frozen by thinking about things that I didn't need to think about at all. Hoping that there would be one full belief that wouldn't pull me into regret. I was really serious in my determination. Becoming Ethan's partner has been my dream since I didn't know him at all. Luckily Mr. Rezso introduced us that night.
Until finally I got to know Ethan better. Until having a more serious romance. I never thought that this would happen so easily. I felt stupid if I had to let Ethan go for Lucas' ego. So, I really had to tie myself to a tightrope of feelings for Ethan. Whatever happens, I have to stick to my position. No one can influence me to cancel this wedding. My thoughts kept drifting to the future. Until it brought me to a deep sleep tonight. Bringing me to the dream world that I first visited. I really entered this dream and it felt very real.
