Mr Kwon's PoV
It was evening. I was so happy that my son somehow accepted that marriage proposal.
I am going to meet Mr. Horbit, Cindy’s father. We have fixed our meeting in a popular restaurant and bar nearby. As soon as I reached there Mr. Horbit was already there waiting for me. I can see a smile on their face. Like he already has an Idea about the success of our plan. I also smirked on him.
“Hello! Mr. Horbit” I said while shaking hands.
“Nice to meet you, come on let’s go inside” he said with hurry.
We sat down on our table and orders drinks. Same like we always order. Gallo for him and Concha y Toro for me. These wines are still with us from the very beginning when we met.
"How's the plan? " Mr. Horbit asked in his wide grin.
I smiled and drink my wine. "He refused at first, but then agreed immediately." I said and while sipping my wine.
I can't really believe that my wise son really followed what I said. In some sense, it was true that our company needs a big help from them. It is true that our company is somewhat, failing. This marriage can build a pretty strong relation between us. My company can really thrive after it. This deal of marriage can really create a strong business empire. I was thinking, then suddenly…
He clapped and then stood on his chair.
"I think, my dream of us being in laws is finally happening." He said.
He seems so happy. I nodded then looked at the papers.
"Yes, but. We should be careful. He's my only heir and if he found out any of this plan. I think it's the end of the world. " I said.
Yeah, as I said. It was all a plan in some sense.
I know him very well. He is really found out that it’s a plan. That this marriage balances on a business deal. He would surely bring this world to an end. This is the only thing which is bothering me right now, the most.

The engagement party was held in our mansion. Cindy, Horbit's daughter wants it fast. She really wants to get married to him very desperately. Daryl is no-one less than the prince of her dreams. Her dream to marry him was going to be fulfilled soon, so she was very happy. She wants this marriage like a royal one. She wished to be married in England that's why tonight was the time they will leave Philippines.
"I'm so so much happy to become your Wife, my Knight. I promise to love you for eternity. " Cindy said.
There is nothing wrong in Cindy. She is a good woman. It's just that she's so clingy and a bit stubborn. I think that was the reason why Daryl, my son hates her.
"Yeah. " my son said coldly and removed Cindy's hands from his arms.
I looked at him and I saw that he was staring at me. I got a bit tensed. I don’t know what he’s going to do because the thing that he might know about that deal, still haunts me.
"I'm sorry, Ney. But even when I am not on your side, I promise to love you till the last day of my life." He whispered and walked back towards the venue. His tears were the only witness for his undying promise.
Maybe not in this lifetime, maybe on the next lifetime, he's able to love and fight for the person that he loves.
The people who got their true love and won the fight for their love in this very life are the luckiest people in this world. Blessed, should be the right word.

On the other side, Neysha was dreaming that she's wearing a fancy white dress, she was smiling while straightly looking in the altar. She knows in her dreams that she looks beautiful.
She was smiling and continue walking on the Altar. She saw Daryl wearing a white suit.
Daryl took her hands and kissed it, she felt good, like it was real.
They are getting married, and even though it was just a dream. That brought an intoxicating feeling in her body. She knows that she was so happy. She knows that it was her favorite dream.
But for unknown reason, why does tears comes streaming on her face?
