Officially

After returning from London, Kimberly and Nicholas were busy with various preparations for their wedding. Everything must be done quickly, form-fitting wedding dresses to pre-wedding photos, considering their short time. Unmitigated, Cassandra and Arthur even agreed to choose BVLGARI RESORT as the venue for the party. BVLGARI itself is a five-star luxury resort on a cliff overlooking the Indian Ocean. The location is also not far from Pura Luhur Uluwatu and from the Garuda Wisnu Kencana Cultural Park. Carrying the theme of a beachfront wedding, all preparations have reached 95%.

Nicholas and Kimberly did not expect Cassandra to prepare everything so thoroughly and perfectly. The woman even hired a wedding organizer like 'Belvedere' to handle Nicholas and Kimberly's wedding.

"Mama's great," Nicholas admitted proudly. He was so amazed by what his mother did. Cassandra crossed her arms in front of her chest. His lips curved into a smile at the praise of his son. "Anything Mama would do for you, son. All the best for you and Kimberly."

Nicholas leaned forward and hugged Cassandra tightly. "I love you, Ma. Mama is the best woman I have."

Cassandra hugged Nicholas back, no less tightly. Maybe this was the last time she could embrace him freely because tomorrow, the man's status would change to someone else's husband. "You are also the best child Mama has had. I wish you all the best in your marriage and that you live happily ever after until grandpa and grandma."

In a different place. Kimberly was sitting enjoying the sunset on the hotel room's balcony with Arthur Sanjaya. The two of them have been talking from light to severe discussions. It seemed that Arthur was using this moment to be complacent before his grandson belonged to another man the next day. "Opa did not think that the time had finally come when another man proposed to you. Opa felt that you were born just yesterday. Now, you are even ready to become someone's wife." Arthur smiled as he looked straight at the expanse of seawater that stretched along the coast.

Kimberly turned to Arthur. The old man looked calm. "Kimmy didn't even think she could be at this point. Where grandpa finally approved of Kimmya and Nicholas's relationship." Arthur turned his face towards Kimberly. He smiled warmly and gently stroked the top of his grandson's head. "Kimmy, in this world. Only Kimmy has Opa. Opa is strict because he does not want you to be hurt, let alone be hurt by other people. That's why Grandpa cannot just let you go."

"But Nicholas has proven everything, Opa. So don't hesitate anymore. Kimmya is sure that she can be happy when living with him."

Arthur nodded in agreement. After everything Nicholas had done, he should now breathe a sigh of relief and start letting go of Kimberly. "Even though Grandpa feels heavy, for your happiness, Grandpa will let the scumbag have you."

Kimberly laughed. "Grandpa... his name is Nicholas Junior Alistair, not a rancid kid like you often say."

Arthur shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly. "It's up to you. Grandpa prefers to call him that. Besides, he acts like a kid. It's awful."

"But I love him very much," protested Kimberly, not wanting to lose.

Arthur rose from his seat, preparing to enter. "When someone is in love, sometimes they are blind in heart and mind. We will end this conversation. It's getting late, and you should get some rest. Remember, tomorrow you will get married."

Kimberly nodded, then got up too and walked in with Arthur.

Countless times, Keyra praised Kimberly. The woman did look elegant in the white-out shoulder dress she was wearing. Her brown hair is styled to make her appearance so perfect on this historic day. "Kimmy, you are like a princess in a fairy tale," said Keyra endlessly. Kimberly chuckled at her friend's words. "You're exaggerating. I feel like I look normal. I even asked the makeup artist not to have so much makeup.

I wanted to look natural today."

"You're still so beautiful. And you know?"

"Know what?" Kimberly asked, confused. "I never thought you would be Mrs Alistair in the next few minutes. It would help if you remembered our stupid bet a few months ago. You finally won, Kimberly. You even won Mr Nicholas's heart." Keyra said admiringly. She didn't expect her best friend to marry the CEO of their company.

With a smile, Kimberly replied. "I think this is destiny that God has prepared for me. You know, our love journey was not smooth. We both even doubted each other. But who would have thought we could be reunited because of the actions of Grandpa and Nicholas's parents."

Keyra laughed at Kimberly's words. "I'm so happy that you can unite with the man you love. I even hope you two will continue to be together until old age. Don't forget, give me lots of nephews."

For some reason, after hearing those words, Kimberly's face suddenly became sad. She remembered about heredity again. Disappointing Nicholas for not being able to give birth crossed her mind again.

Keyra realized what she had done because she had accidentally said directly, grabbing Kimberly's body and hugging her. "Sorry, I didn't mean to offend you. I'm sure you and Nicholas must have lots and lots of cute kids. So don't ever be sad, Kimmy."

Kimberly pulled her body and smiled. She thought that what Keyra said was true. She shouldn't have to be sad. She had to believe that she would be able to give Nicholas many offspring one day. Marco and Arthur entered Kimberly's room when they were still chatting—telling them to come down to the venue immediately because the wedding party was about to start.

Arthur clasped Kimberly's hand and brought her down to the platform, already full of guests. Meanwhile, Nicholas had been waiting at the event venue. He couldn't hide his nervousness. He still didn't think that he would officially become Kimberly's husband in the next few minutes. The woman he had desperately rejected. The woman who always mentioned was not his type. Who would have thought that she would now become his future wife? If only Edward didn't bother her so much and tease her, maybe Nicholas would never realize how much he loves Kimberly.

So, did he have to thank her now? While the man was standing not far from his current position. Realizing Nicholas was staring at him in silence, Edward immediately rebuked him. "Why are you looking at me like that? I know that you are insecure because of my good looks."

Nicholas showed an expression like he wanted to throw up after hearing Edward's words. "You're exaggerating. I was just wondering why do you always interfere with my life?" Disapproved, Edward moved his position forward. Erase the distance between the two of them. "If you forget, I am the one who has the most merit in your life. If I weren't there, maybe you would have committed suicide because of a broken heart. It would help if you also remembered that I am the place where you complain when you are down with all the problems you face first. Basic. ungrateful!"

Not accepting Edward's words, Nicholas lightly punched his friend's shoulder. "You talk too much, Ed. But since I'm happy today, I'll thank you. Sometimes you can be relied on." "Not sometimes, but always reliable. Take that down!" Edward's protest did not accept. When they were busy arguing, suddenly, all the invitees rose from their seats to welcome Kimberly and Arthur. Nicholas, who came to his senses, then averted his gaze. His future wife, who was walking slowly but indeed approached his position, was staring in amazement.

"You are gorgeous, Kimmy. Gorgeous today," whispered Nicholas when Kimberly was standing perfectly beside him. When the two of them were standing side by side, the MC started to open the show. The reading of prayers and the main event went solemnly from the remarks. Finally, Kimberly and Nicholas are officially legalized as husband and wife. Cheers and loud applause resounded.

"Congratulations, you two are finally legally husband and wife."

Cassandra couldn't hide her emotion and happiness when she embraced Nicholas and Kimberly. Likewise, Arthur, for the first time, the old man, shed tears after handing Kimberly over to Nicholas. "Please take care of my beloved grandson. Until you dare to hurt him, I will not hesitate to kill you!" Threaten Arthur. At times the old grandfather gave a threat on this happy day.

But Nicholas responded with a laugh. "Can I call you Opa from this moment on?" Nicholas asked between giggles.

Arthur didn't answer right away, and he looked like he was thinking. Finally, Kimberly reprimanded him. "Come on grandpa, how long does Nicholas call grandpa as master?" please Kimberly. Arthur sighed lazily, then answered. "Okay, because my grandson is forcing you, from now on you can call me grandpa."

Everyone then laughed at Arthur Sanjaya's words.

Kimberly chose to go first to the room to rest. Meanwhile, Nicholas was still chatting with Edward and Jacob. Feeling hot, Kimberly decided to clean up immediately. She had been in the bathroom for a long time. And when he came out, he was surprised by the presence of Nicholas, who was standing right in front of the bathroom door.

"Gosh, you startled me," Kimberly rebuked. Nicholas clucked in his position. "Do I look like a ghost that you're so surprised?" Seeing the annoyed expression on Nicholas's face, Kimberly unknowingly chuckled. "Where in the world is there a ghost as handsome as you, dear," said Kimberly.

"You scumbag!" Nicholas's pout made Kimberly laugh even more loudly. "You'd better take a shower and get cleaned up, Nicholas. Then we'll get some rest." This time Nicholas obeyed and immediately did what Kimberly ordered. After finishing cleaning, Nicholas found Kimberly sitting on the bed while massaging her legs. He was sure the woman who had just become his wife was exhausted now. Standing for hours at a party and welcoming the many guests who come does make the body tired. Nicholas even felt the same way.

Feeling sorry, Nicholas immediately approached and sat down on one side of the bed. "Want me to help?" without waiting for the woman to answer, Nicholas immediately reached out his hand to massage Kimberly's feet gently.

"Thank you," Kimberly said sincerely. "Why thank you? It's proper for a husband to pay attention to his wife," Nicholas replied without taking his eyes off her. He was still busy massaging Kimberly's feet. "I thank you that you want to be my husband. Wasn't I not your ideal type of woman?" Nicholas lifted his face and laughed at Kimberly's words. "Just so you know, I actually used to lie about that. After all, what sane man wouldn't be interested in a woman as beautiful as you."

"So you've been lying all this time?" Kimberly pursed her lips.

Nicholas nodded. "I'm sorry. I used to be too proud to admit that. But now I will never get tired of admitting that you are the only woman I adore."

"Me too, will never get tired of admitting to the world that you are the only man I love."

Without warning, Nicholas immediately pulled Kimberly so that their bodies were close together. Then landed his lips on Kimberly's soft lips. Nicholas's lips kept pressing on Kimberly's lips demandingly. Crushed and even bitten until Kimberly was overwhelmed. But Nicholas didn't stop, and he deepened the kiss. He reached out his hand to grab her by the neck. Unable to contain himself any longer, Nicholas gently pushed Kimberly's body to the ground. Then brought his lips to kiss and even suck the skin along Kimberly's long neck.

Meanwhile, his hands began to trace every woman's curve who is now officially his wife. Facing Nicholas's increasingly heated kisses, there was nothing Kimberly could do but close her eyes, and even occasionally, she could hear her sigh. She was trying to reciprocate and enjoy every touch given by her husband.

Nicholas's hand even went back down and stopped on Kimberly's thigh. He was rubbing it gently and lightly, getting deeper and deeper until it gave Kimberly a strange tingle.

"Nicholas ..."

Nicholas's eyes met Kimberly's misty eyes. He was implying an irresistible passion. "This is what you wanted from the beginning, right?" whispered Nicholas deep.

Meanwhile, Kimberly's face turned red with embarrassment. Because all this time, he had always tempted Nicholas to fuck her. "After this, you will be completely mine, Kimberly Alistair," Nicholas said again.

Then Nicholas again grabbed Kimberly's lips roughly. He bit his lower lip until she moaned again. Kimberly's face turned red from all the fondness that was insistent. Until the unification came, Kimberly was again made to surrender by following all the games that Nicholas was playing. Let him have complete control over him. Do whatever he wants until they are both drowned in the waves of love that they have been holding back.
