Choice [Levi X Reader] (Au!)

¤ Chapter 2:Arrange Marriage ¤

At 10.50 a.m. a black Aston Martin car stopped in front of the five-star hotel 'Blue Moon'. The driver opened the back seat doors & two figures got down from the car.

"I don't understand why that old man arrange the meeting here instead of his office or mansion?" Levi mumbled looking at his wristwatch.

Isabel came next to him & said, "Levi, let's go. Mr. Ackerman will not be happy if we late for today." Then she gave him a toothy grin, "After all today is a big day for you."

Levi gave her a blank look hearing the last part.

It might be sound strange why a secretary, addressing her boss by name, but this was a normal thing between Levi & Isabel. Personally, the relation in between them was like brother & sister, but at the work, they behaved as boss & secretary.

However, it took them about five minutes to reach the room where Kenny informed them to come.

Isabel opened the door of the suite & then Levi entered first. They went to the living room of the suite and found others were already present there. The reason for this gathering was Levi & (y/n)'s marriage.

A woman & Kenny was sitting on a couch & talking in between them. A middle-aged man was talking with a young man wearing a black suit. Levi's two friends Hanji & Erwin were busy with a young couple.

Kenny noticed Levi & Isabel in the doorway, and he smiled, "Welcome Levi. Come here, my boy."

Levi internally cringed to hear Kenny's sweet words for him. He came near to the couch & Kenny stood from his seat. Levi sat next to his bride and other's stood around the couch.

The marriage register placed a paper in front of the would-be couple. "So, who will sign as the witnesses from the bride & groom's side?" the black-suited man asked looking through some documents.

"Hanji & Erwin will be the witnesses from my side," Levi answered.

"My two friend Jean & Sasha will sign as the witnesses," (y/n) replied.

Levi glanced at the woman beside him in the corner of his eyes. The woman beside him didn't look like a model or beauty queen in Levi's eyes.
She looked might be she was in her late twenties & she had a slim physique.

She elegantly dressed in an ivory knee-length dress & high heels. Her (h/c) locks were braided neatly and placed on her left shoulder. Though there was nothing special about her, somehow Levi was drawn to watch her.

Sensing someone's eyes on her, (y/n) looked at her right and her brown eyes meet with a pair of bluish-grey ones.
Their eyes locked for a brief second and the corners of her mouth lifted up into a small smile. But Levi didn't return the smile, he simply averted his eyes from her to the document lying in front of him.

"Please sign here," the marriage register said the couple, pointing at a blank space in the document.

After they sign the certificate, the witnesses of both parties signed with the certificate.

"Now, it's time for the ring exchange!" Hanji exclaimed cheerfully holding two tiny red ring boxes in her hands.

Levi shot her an annoying look & growled, "We don't need to do this."

"Of course you have to do this." Hanji brushed off Levi's oppose. "Look, as your demand, we didn't arrange a traditional marriage ceremony. So, now you have to fulfill our little request."

Levi sighed loudly in frustration. He knew it very well his annoying friend won't stop pestering him until he did what she wanted.
So he looked at Kenny in hope to stop Hanji. But the old man simply nodded at him with a sickening smile on his lips.

~*~*~*~*~*

It was half-past eight p.m. Levi was on his way to home from the official ceremony of his life imprisonment or the so-called 'marriage ceremony'. Of course, he wasn't returning alone. His co-prisoner I mean his newly-wed wife (y/n) was with him. She was sitting in the passenger seat hearing music.

Levi didn't exactly know why this woman decided to marry him, knowing he had a two-year-old child. But he was sure Kenny would pay her handsomely for this marriage. Whenever that thought came to his mind, he couldn't help to detest her more.
He was busy to curse his damn uncle when he heard someone patting on his shoulder. He shifted his eyes from the road to his wife.

(y/n) cleared her throat and asked, "If you don't mind, may I ask you a question?"

Levi nodded at her.

"Do you always keep this serial killer like the expression on your face?"

"What?" Levi glared harshly at her.

"Yeah. I noticed today that you always have this scary and gloomy expression on your face and believe me if looks could kill you maybe kill countless people a long time ago."

'Why not I start the killing mission from you?' Levi tried not to snap at her comment & asked, "Do you have any problem with my face?" He tried kept his usual stoic expression.

"No, I don't have that much problem but maybe Eren will complain about this. So please try to not to look so scary in front of him." Aria answered with a smile.

Levi's eyes twitched in annoyance.

"Why did you agree to marry me? You know I have a child, don't you?" Levi asked changing the subject.

Her eyes shifted to the side again and the charming smile on her lips faded slowly and replaced by a sad one.

"I have my reasons," she whispered.
