Chapter 2 - MARRY ME!
"Marry me!" Lucas asked which suddenly made Ellena feel surprised.
How come? Lucas asked to marry suddenly, especially to her who was clearly a different caste.
"What?" Ellena looked rounded her eyes until her eyeballs almost popped out. "Did I hear wrong?" She asked, because still couldn't believe what she had just heard straight from Lucas' mouth.
"No! Mr. lucas must be joking. He couldn't have suddenly asked me to marry him. Really it was just a dream in broad daylight," Ellena muttered to herself.
"Yes, married. Is something wrong?" Lucas asked innocently.
It's really not about right or wrong, but about Lucas' attitude which is very strange to Ellena. Lucas wasn't his usual self. In fact, in the office he is always cold to his employees, especially to Ellena who is just an ordinary employee.
However, why is he suddenly asking her to marry him now, when everyone knows that he already has a girlfriend and will get married next week.
"But, you going to marry Miss Selena next week, aren't you?" Ellena looked up questioningly.
Lucas was silent for a moment. Yes, right. He does have a girlfriend and in one week they will be married. In fact, not only employees at his company already know the good news, but even one country already knows about the news.
Considering Lucas is the owner of the largest industrial company in Indonesia, of course his name often appears in the mass media or newspapers. Therefore, he became known to many people.
Lucas and Selena Emily Bramantyo have been in a relationship for two years. And this year they decided to get married. The news that is reported almost every day makes one country know, maybe even the whole world also knows about the news of the marriage.
However, today, Lucas learns the truth about Selena, which makes him want to cancel the marriage, even though he knows that his decision will embarrass himself and his extended family.

An hour ago, Lucas purposely went to Selena's apartment to surprise him, because he remembered that today was his girlfriend's birthday. However, he was immediately startled by two figures who were talking in front of the apartment. They are Selena and a man named Steven who is none other than an employee at his company.
Lucas stopped in his tracks, then watched them out of surprise.
"Steve, why did you come here?" Selena asked, after Steve gave her a surprise birthday present.
Selena seemed to look around in several directions, worried that someone would see her with Steven.
"I missed you so much, Honey," Steve replied as he wanted to hug, but Selena held him back first.
This action of course made Lucas immediately furious to see it. How come? Steve calls his future wife "Honey". It really made him furious. However, he still tried to hold it in and watched them to the end.
"But, you know, the situation is very dangerous for us? What if Lucas suddenly sees us and cancels the wedding?" Selena asked with a worried expression.
"Leave it alone. Let him know that you're actually mine," Steve replied indifferently.
"Steve, come on ... don't act like a kid. You know? Our plan could fail if you keep acting like this. We won't get a penny from Lucas if I don't marry him," Selena explained suddenly. Lucas suddenly clenched his fists.
"Damn, it turns out she's cheesier than the prostitutes out there!" Lucas muttered to himself as he looked at the pair of lovers cynically.
"Do you really want to marry him, ha?" annoyed Lucas who is clearly not willing to see Selena married another man.
"Of course! But, it's only temporary, Honey. Later, after I managed to take over his wealth, I promise to come back to you," replied Selena which made Lucas even more angry.
"But I miss you so much, Honey. You don't even have time for me, just for the sake of that guy," Steve complained.
"Didn't we agree on this plan? You have a little patience. When the time comes, we'll definitely go back to how we used to be," Selena replied.
Suddenly Steve snorted. He felt disappointed at his lover's rejection. However, he could understand that, because it had been the plan for both of them.
"Okay, I'll go," Steve said forcefully.
"Don't be so angry. We'll be happy after this," Selena replied with a smile, because she was sure that her plan would soon come true.
"Okay, I get it," Steve replied, then kissed Selena's forehead. He immediately left the apartment.
Selena didn't really love Lucas. Her closeness to Lucas all this time, she only used to take the wealth owned by Lucas. In this case, she deliberately cooperates with Steve, her real lover.
Lucas was still standing still. Really, this is hard to believe. How could he be fooled by a woman like Selena, when they had been in a relationship for a long time as lovers. However, he didn't have the slightest suspicion of Selena.
He couldn't believe that Selena would love a man like Steve whose position and good looks were definitely lower than hers.
Lucas was lucky to know that fact, before he officially married Selena. It really hurts, but it hurts even more, when Selena and Steve's plan works and makes him fall into poverty.
"Okay, Selena, you'll know the consequences, for having the guts to play with me," Lucas said
With feelings of anger still bubbling in his chest, he decided to cancel the wedding which would take place next week. It doesn't matter how much he loves Selena. He will still cancel the marriage and no one should get in the way of his decision, whoever it is.
"Goodbye, Selena," he said as he sent the video he recorded a few minutes ago to his parents.
Yes, he deliberately told his parents the truth, hoping that they would understand his decision.
In addition to his parents, he also sent the videotape to Selena along with a short message as a sign of their farewell.
'Sorry, I can't marry you. Goodbye, Selena.'
Seeing this fact, of course, made his parents furious. His father called Lucas right away and said that they didn't want the marriage to break, because they didn't want to be embarrassed.
Meanwhile, Lucas persisted in his decision, thus making his father ask him to find a replacement for Selena. Whoever it is, as long as the marriage is still held, considering the invitation letters that have been spread to their various business relationships.
This really frustrated Lucas. How could he find a replacement for Selena with only a week left?
The complicated situation he was in made him even more emotional. His heart was completely broken because of what Selena and Steve did. Not to mention that he must immediately find another woman to replace Selena.
It is undeniable that he still loves Selena very much, so it will not be easy for him to forget his ex-lover. What's more, have to turn to another heart in a short time.
The emotions that were running through his mind made Lucas unable to think clearly.. Finally, he tried to vent his anger by driving at full speed, so there was an accident between him and Ellena who was in a hurry.
