I'll Teach You, Marianne.

In a matter of minutes, Anne's status would change. She would officially become Mrs. Clarke. Even though this marriage was not her wish, Anne still felt nervous.

"You're so beautiful, Anne, no wonder the young master is crazy about you," said Doctor Caitlyn honestly as she put on Anne's veil.

Anne, who had been nervous all this time, slowly looked at Doctor Caitlyn. "Is there no other way out, Doc?"

Anne still hoped to escape from the wedding ceremony that would soon changed her status.

Doctor Caitlyn shook her head with a smile. "Believe me, Anne, there are many women who covet your position. The Clarke family is not a random family. There are many women out there who dream to become the woman who can provide a successor to this family."

Anne smiled wryly at Caitlyn's words. She didn't know whether to be grateful or cry this time. She wanted so badly to tell everyone that she didn't want this marriage, but Anne wasn't that bad. She couldn't possibly throw dirt in the face of Mr. David Clarke, such a gracious old man. Anne was really in a big dilemma right now, as she remembered the words Alan said last night.

Knock

Knock

"It's time for the bride to come out." A woman dressed in a black suit with ear piece in her ear suddenly entered Anne's dressing room and asked her to come out.

Doctor Caitlyn did the finishing touches. "Okay, it's time, let's get up and be careful walking."

Anne gave up, as she realized that she couldn't escape now. Silently, Anne got up from her chair and walked slowly following Doctor Caitlyn, who led her to the venue. Anne looked down because she was too afraid to look at the strangers who were attending her wedding right now.

"Keep your head up, Anne," Doctor Caitlyn whispered quietly to Anne, as they both arrived at the venue.

Anne obediently followed Doctor Caitlyn's instructions. She slowly raised her face to look at the people in front of her. From behind the translucent white veil on her head, Anne saw that there were dozens of pairs of eyes staring at her without blinking and that made her even more nervous that she almost dropped the bouquet of flowers she was holding. Her nervousness finally lessened a little when she saw Luis walking to where she was standing with Doctor Caitlyn.

"Luis will walk with you down the aisle to the altar, Anne," said Doctor Caitlyn again.

"A-aren't you going to, Doc?" asked Anne spontaneously.

"Of course not, honey," Doctor Caitlyn chuckled.

Luis, who had arrived in front of Anne, immediately stretched out his hand for Anne to hold. "Come on, Miss."

"Luis..."

"It's fine. Relax and take a deep breath." Luis immediately cut off Anne's words.

Anne followed Luis' instructions. After she gained control of herself, Anne started walking towards the altar where Alan was already standing and waiting for her. Music from the piano accompanied Anne's steps towards the altar. She really still didn't expect to be in this situation: went to Luxembourg, met a man who looked like Jack, was raped by him, and was now forced to marry him by his family. Everything was like a dream for Anne, a nightmare that kept coming back to her.

"Marrying a rapist," said Anne quietly.

Luis smiled at Anne's words. He didn't want to make Anne's mood worse. Meanwhile, Alan, who had been standing for more than 20 minutes waiting for the arrival of his bride, looked very surprised when he saw Anne's appearance. Even though Anne was wearing a veil, her beauty could still be seen clearly. Her beautiful body was extraordinary. Anne looked like a Barbie doll today, with slim waist, full hips and high shoulders.

Alan swallowed his saliva many times. He was really fascinated to see his bride in her wedding dress. Even though he had seen Anne's body, at the moment he was truly enchanted by her charm. Anne finally arrived in front of Alan, and Luis immediately held out Anne's hand to Alan.

"Thank you, Luis," Alan said quietly.

"Yes, sir."

Without speaking, Alan guided Anne to face the priest who was already in his position, and soon the main event began, the exchange of the sacred vow between Anne and Alan. Alan did not experience any difficulties when he said his vow to be together for the rest of his life, and so was Anne, even though she spoke her vow very slow.

"I hereby declare that you are legally husband and wife. The groom may kiss the bride as a sign that you are officially husband and wife," said the priest again when Anne had finished speaking.

Without hesitation, Alan immediately grabbed the end of Anne's face cover and opened it slowly. Once again, he was stunned when he saw how beautiful Anne was.

The make-up that Anne wore was not softly applied, unlike most brides. But with that thin make-up, she actually looked gorgeous and beautiful. Her luscious eyelashes and red cheeks looked even more perfect with pink lipstick on her lips. Anne was really very charming. Without thinking, Alan landed a kiss on Anne's lips gently. She immediately closed her eyes when Alan kissed her. Even though they had officially become husband and wife, Anne had not fully accepted Alan.

Not long after, there was a thunderous applause from everyone present and witnessing their wedding, including Cassandra Lim, who looked at Anne hatefully. She repeatedly cursed Anne, who was now the official wife of Alan Knight Clarke, her dream man. Cassandra's parents did their best to calm their daughter so as not to cause any problem.

Meanwhile, Mr. David Clarke was so moved that he wiped the tears that streamed down his face with a handkerchief many times. He was very grateful to see his grandson marry the right woman. At least, he managed to get the lovers married. Mr. David Clarke did not want his grandson to hate him even more if he had married another woman when his memory returned. That was why he tried his best to marry the two of them, although previously they both refused for their own reasons.

Luis, who realized the master was still crying, then patted his shoulder gently. "Everything will be fine, sir, don't worry. Young master will be very grateful to you later."

"Hopefully, Luis, I hope my grandson doesn't hate me," said Mr. David Clarke in a hoarse voice with emotion.

Luis smiled at the words of the master. He then looked back at Alan and Anne who were signing their signatures on their marriage certificate.

"Hope you are happy my grandson, and forgive me for everything, all my selfishness," said Mr. David Clarke in his heart as he continued to stare at the newlyweds with happiness.

Anne and Alan, who had signed their marriage certificate, were then asked to pose for their picture as a married couple for the first time, Anne, who was still very awkward, didn't smile at all when the photographer took her picture. Finally Alan approached her ear and said, "Smile dear, learn to smile so that the next time I fuck you again, you won't cry like the last time."

Blush!

Anne's face felt very hot hearing the words of Alan who had become her husband, not because she was blushing or happy but she was very angry at Alan. Anne was annoyed with Alan's words.

"Well, like this, you smile. Your face looks very beautiful, my wife," said Alan spontaneously when he saw Anne's reddened cheeks.

The photographer continued to take photos of the two of them. He did not waste that romantic moment. Because Alan possessively wrapped his arms around Anne's waist at the moment, everyone who saw her were envious. Anne's beauty was absolutely perfect coupled with the handsomeness of Alan Knight Clarke, so the guests who were present worshiped the newlywed couple without knowing that the bride was forced into this wedding.

There was only one person who was upset about this marriage, it was Cassandra Lim, who had not taken her eyes off Anne for a second.
