Hearing Fernando's words made her stunned and was unable to speak. It felt like all her voice was stuck in her throat. There was a strange feeling inside her when she heard Fernando asked her to be married in five days, a strange feeling that she had never felt before in all her life.

"Don't be afraid, Dear, I will not touch you until we are officially married. That's my promise to you." Fernando whispered softly, as he slowly stroked Viona's face.

​​

"You promise," Viona said softly in response to Fernando's words.

"Of course!!! Fernando Gray Willan never denied his words," Fernando replied with sparkling eyes.

Viona smiled slightly at Fernando's expression. She then closed her eyes in Fernando 's arms. Various questions mixed up inside her mind. She also asked herself about the way she spoke to Fernando like that, even though she wanted to say no and reject all of Fernando's words, somehow, what was in her heart changed when she opened her mouth.

Fernando smiled to see Viona closed her eyes. He repeatedly kissed her forehead affectionately. Fernando didn't want to be separated from her anymore, he wanted to always be close to Viona, the girl who had stolen his heart for seven years was still keeping her chastity, and it made Fernando feel special.

"Hey, let's get down," Fernando whispered softly to Viona.

"Hmmmm yes," Viona replied, as she opened her eyes. She looked at the apartment building in front of her eyes.

"Be careful," Fernando said quietly as he put his hand above the car door to keep Viona from bumping into it. Viona didn't utter any word in response to Fernando's words. She could only follow his very excited steps.

Some of Fernando's men walked in front of them as well as behind them, and formed a large O-shape, protecting Fernando and Viona who were walking. Seeing Fernando's arrival, several people became hysterical. They then ran towards Fernando's group, trying to grab Fernando to just shake hands, but they were blocked by his personal bodyguards so that their hands couldn't touch Fernando. Viona, who wasn't used to such situations, looked a little uncomfortable. She tightened her grip on Fernando's arm even more.

"It's okay, Honey," Fernando whispered softly, as he patted the back of Viona's hand slowly to calm her down.

"What do they want?" Asked Viona innocently.

"Ha ha ha, you're really innocent and silly, Honey. In this country, you're the only one trying so hard to get away from me, while millions of other women are trying to get closer to me," said Fernando as he pinched Viona's sharp nose.

"Aghh that hurts ...!!!" Viona screamed in pain, while holding her nose which had turned red due to Fernando's action.

Seeing Viona in pain while holding her nose Fernando immediately stopped his steps and pulled Viona's hand away from her face, then quickly kissed Viona's lips in front of everyone who was pursuing him without shame.

Fernando crushed Viona's lips gently by tightening his hug to Viona's body so that the women around him screamed while taking photos of the two of them repeatedly. Among these women, there were those who congratulated the pair of lovebirds.

Hearing the screams of those people immediately made Viona aware. She then pushed Fernando's body away from her while covering her lips with her hand, with a face that was already flushed with embarrassment.

Fernando chuckled at Viona's shy attitude. He then let go of his hug on Viona's body and let her head for the elevator. Seeing the mistress enter the elevator first, two of Fernando's bodyguards immediately ran after the mistress without being ordered by Fernando.

Seeing his men guarding Viona made Fernando calm. He then served the requests of the people who surrounded him patiently.

"Are you all willing to attend the event? My wedding party is in five days." Fernando asked suddenly when he had a photo session with his fans.

"Of course, sir, of course we're willing ..." all the women in front of Fernando answered in unison.

"Okay, okay, submit your addresses and cell phone numbers to my bodyguards. I will send a special invitation to you all later," Fernando said with a smile.

"Yay ... thank you, Mr. Fernando," said all the women with joy. They immediately rushed over Justin to give him their cellphone numbers and addresses, while Fernando continued his steps towards the elevator to catch up with Viona, who had gone up first.

"Sir, are you sure you want to invite them?" asked Bruno quietly.

"It's okay. Just think of it as special guests on my wife's side," Fernando replied with a smile. There was a sense of pride and joy when he called Viona his wife.

"I understand, sir," said Bruno, as he lowered his head.

Fernando smiled as he tapped Bruno's shoulder slowly when the elevator stopped. He stepped out to Viona's unit. His smile grew when he arrived in front of his future wife's room.

He saw her staring in confusion at her bed, which was full of her medical items that she Viona always brought home, mixed with several photo frames of her mother and father.

"Do you want to take all this, Honey?" Fernando asked quietly.

"Yes, of course. The photos of my father and mother will go wherever I go," Viona replied, without turning to Fernando.

"What I mean is this," said Fernando, pointing to the pile of medical devices belonging to Viona, which was neatly lined up in the suitcase.

"That is my personal equipment," Viona replied curtly. "But I can buy you new ones which are even better than yours," Fernando said with a sneer.

Hearing Fernando's words made Viona immediately stop her activities. He then walked towards Fernando with sharp eyes.

"There are things money can never buy and you should know that, Mr. Fernando!!!" Viona said, putting her hands on her hips in front of Fernando..

Gulped.

Some of Fernando's bodyguards seemed to swallow their saliva too when they saw Viona said that to Fernando. That was something that no one else had ever done to their master before.

"So you don't want to replace them with new ones?" asked Fernando quietly with a smile.

"Of course not!!! They are my first children that I bought with the money I saved during my part time work in the summer of the fifth semester," Viona replied in a low voice.

Fernando immediately hugged Viona tightly when he heard Viona's words. He even stroked Viona's hair gently.

"Okay, we'll bring them all," Fernando said quietly, as he let go of his arms from her.

"And I'm sorry, Honey, I don't know how you struggle to get them," added Fernando, kissing the back of her hand.

"Will you forgive me?" Fernando asked sincerely.

Viona nodded slowly with a faint smile. She then turned around and continued her activities to tidy up the other things, to which Fernando joined in to help.

Some of his personal bodyguards were stunned to see Fernando's attitude that turned soft towards Viona. It was something that Fernando never showed previously.

"As hard as any stone is, it would eventually be destroyed when water dropped on it continuously," Justin whispered softly to the eighth bodyguards.

To be continued.
