The two men who were arguing turned their heads towards the girl who looked disheveled because she had just woken up from her sleep, Anya.
"What are you doing upstairs?" asked Adolfo with a sharp, scary look. The man looked really scary.
"I-I..." Anya replied stammeringly.
"I just woke up," Anya continued.
"What, you're a maid, your bedroom is downstairs. Then what the fuck are you doing upstairs?" Adolfo screeched angrily.
"She sleeps in my room, Dad. We sleep together. Is that a problem for
you?"
"Xavier!" Adolfo shouted angrily.
"No, no, sir, we didn't sleep together!" Anya argued.
The noise made the residents of the house come over and peek over the wall. Covering their ears carefully.
"Anya don't lie, let's confess. You don't need to be afraid of my dad, he will definitely approve of our relationship."
"Young master what are you saying?"
"Have you gone mad? What blessing are you talking about?" Anya took a few steps forward, but finally stopped as she realized that the middle-aged man in front of her would now pounce on whoever was in front of him.
"Xavier, stop your madness!" Adolfo shouted a second time in a louder voice.
"Anya we are going to get married, I promised you. I will fulfill that promise," Xavier said again, which of course made Anya even more confused.
"Gustav!" called Adolfo to one of his guards.
"Drag that girl out of here!" shouted Adolfo with wide eyes towards Anya.
Just a few seconds later, a tall, large man arrived. Immediately grabbing Anya's hand forcefully, dragging the Anya's body, not caring if she struggled. Xav did not remain silent, he immediately took out a gun from the pocket of the suit he was wearing.
"If you kick her out, then I'll kill myself in this place right now!" Xav threatened, of course he wasn't serious about this.
Xav did this not because he wanted Anya to be his wife. He was willing to do this cheap drama so that he could marry the girl. He have an agendas.

A few hours earlier ....
After carrying Anya's body from the car to the second floor room, Xav immediately went to his own room. But, before getting to his room on the third floor, there was someone waiting for him on the stairs connecting the two floors. That person was none other than Rimar.
"Young master, I have important information for you," the old maid told him.
She was like Xav's own grandmother, the old woman was also very fond of him. It could be said that the relationship between the two was very close and intimate, although most of the time they had to pretend that they weren't that close. Because it was the rule, servants couldn't get too close and overstep their boundaries.
"Rimar? I thought you were asleep," Xav was surprised.
"What is it, what important information do you have?" asked Xav in a half-whisper.
"I'm afraid someone heard us," said Rimar.
"Let's talk in my room, if anyone asks what you're doing in my room at night, just tell them I'm asking for help cleaning the suit I'm going to wear tomorrow morning."
Rimar nodded in understanding, the old woman followed the young man to the third floor. Climbing the stairs with dim lighting. The atmosphere of the mansion was completely quiet, as almost all the residents had fallen asleep in their dreams.
After entering the room, Xav invited Rimar to sit down, but she chose to remain standing.
"The great lady has a new requirement for potential heirs," Rimar said matter-of-factly.
Xav frowned, he was shocked to hear Rimar's words.
"What is it?" he asked.
"Marriage. Both prospective heirs must be married in order to participate in the next stage of selection," said Rimar.
"Married? You're not joking, are you, aunty?" Xav called Rimar aunty only when they were alone.
Rimar shook her head, "I overheard the great lady's conversation with Beary."
"What does grandmother mean?"
"She will only give you the throne if you are married."
"But she never mention about that before," Xavier was annoyed, rubbing his face repeatedly. The young man looked upset.
"You know yourself, how the great lady is. She's a spontaneous woman, all her decisions and wishes are non-negotiable or inviolable."
"This is crazy, this is crazy, absolutely crazy!" Xav paced back and forth like an insane person.
"Marriage, why does it have to be on that condition? I don't even have a girlfriend, so who am I supposed to marry?"
"No, no, I have to find a way. This can't go on, Noah can't win this fight." Xav was babbling incoherently. He was almost desperate now. This condition would be easier for Noah, he already had a girlfriend named Selena.
"Aunt, do you have any ideas for me? What do you think I should do? Who should I marry?" he asked the woman who looked confused, just like him.
"Courtney?" Rimar chimed in.
"No, no, don't mention that name. I won't marry that girl even if I die, I'd rather die a virgin," Xav said with a chuckle, Rimar covered her mouth while holding back her laughter.
"I thought you used to like her," Rimar teased.
"Of course not, I only dated Courtney because of a silly bet my friends made," Xav explains.
"How about you ask Anya, the servant girl, to pretend to be your girlfriend?" Rimar suddenly spoke up with an idea that Xavier hadn't thought of at all.
"Her? Are you sure that crazy girl would do that for me?"
Rimar nodded, "Of course she won't refuse your offer, only if you pay her."
Xav grinned at Rimar's idea. The man now knew what to do, in order to smoothen his plans and path to become the main heir to all of his grandmother's wealth.
