Miya was facing consequences with her family. The Antoine Family was planning an engagement to the only daughter of Virtuoso Family, Her family wanted to reject the offer as they found their son to be boastful, undisciplined which is completely opposite to her personality but they were being threat by the clan that if they reject the offer they'll downsize her clan as the Antoine Family was one of the noble and strongest clan in Moniyan Empire.

But somehow Miya's parents was smart as she is. They came into a lame excuse that she's already engaged to someone who is stronger than the Antoine Clan. Can't accept the Reality. The Antoine's want to met this man.

They'll met him in two weeks and They has two weeks to think of a man who could act as her 'fiance'. And there's only one man whose inside her parents mind.

Alucard Viscerno

T H I R D P E R S O N

"Would you stop following me around?"

"What? Is there something wrong with guarding my future wife?"

Miya sigh out of frustration from this man. Alucard. The one that her parents chose as the actor of this play, a play to fool a certain noble family.

It was an act and yet he really did it seriously. Like Seriously. From visiting her from time to time. Sending her flowers and chocolates which she just throw it away (except for the chocolate), and he let her chose an engagement ring, although it was only temporary.

"Alucard would you just act like that in public not from time to time? It's getting annoying you know?"

Alucard scoff. "I know, i know. I just couldn't digest the fact it was only an acting when we could actually turn it into reality"

Miya slowly turned her head, throwing him a dagger look. "And why would i do that? I would rather die than marrying someone like you!"

"Welp. The choices are there to save you and your family Lady Miya" he leaned closer to her until their eyes were caged to each other. "It's either you'll play your part or face the reality and consequences all of your life instead?"

"DAMN YOU!" She cursed to him mentally. Alucard withdraw himself as a smirk was playing in his face.

"Anyways were are we going again? My fiancee?"

Miya turned her heels and continued her way back to her quarters. Alucard was just there smirking to himself.

I swear after this play. He'll pay for every mock he's making to me! Mark my words Alucard Viscerno.

Get mad all you want M'lady. Wether its an act or not, you'll marry me and you belong to me. Pin those words in your heart and mind. Miya Virtuoso.

"My lady. The visitors are on their way so does Mr. Alucard, please prepare yourself and be on time" Her Butler reminded her

"Okay, thank you" she smiles, the butler bowed down before leaving her alone again.

She let out a sigh. She was a bit pressure because Alucard was pushing her, always there to annoy and destroy her day. Not only that but also the act was getting hard each passing day as they need to act sweet in front of the people to look like they are real couple. And it was literally hard for her because Alucard is yet again the cause of her stress.

There was one time. They were out for a 'date'. Alucard was holding her hands tightly as if he was afraid to let her go, nonetheless Miya let him be as this is only temporary.

They pass by a crowd of Alucard's fanclub. They chase after them and they were cornered on the wall with nowhere to hide or run. And there's only one thing in his mind to save their asses from this mess.
He only said 'Just go with the flow okay?'. She was a bit confused on what he was talking about as her mind was frenetic. Then there goes a large crowd of Alucard's fanclub. Miya was suddenly pulled by shoulder as she felt a lips on hers. It was passionate. Unable to process what just happened. She ended up dumbfounded all day.

Just then. Miya was already in front of the Antoine Family. Beside her was of course Alucard. Opposite of her was the Antoine's son who was having an endless battle of throwing dagger looks to each other.

They were eating while the Antoine's were asking Alucard about his family. You could say that the Viscerno's are also one of the noble and strong families. They're a clan that doesn't really like getting into fights with other clans. A quiet one you could say.

"I see then. I guess our proposal would going to the trash. Anyways when will you get married?" The elder of the Antoine's asked out of nowhere

Miya almost choked on her food. She looked at Alucard who only looked back at her with the same answer. He doesn't know either

Luckily they were saved by Miya's parents. "They were still planning on the marriage but they said it'll be a month or two" her mother answered

Miya swear. She almost choked on her food once again but she still remain her composure. 'A month or two?? tf??'

Alucard hold into her hands making her gaze land on him. "Yes. It'll be a month or two, or even maybe earlier" he proudly announced

She wants to deny to the announcement but she couldn't. She want but she couldn't. Damn it! You dimwit!'

"I see then. You better invite us in your wedding" The Antoine's soon to be successor joined in as he add a dagger look at Alucard who only ignore him and pull Miya in his arms

And yes, the wedding did really was continued as an extra to look more like they're really a couple. At first Miya wants to end the act already but the Antoine's were still there. They'll only disappear after their wedding. Which is currently happening right now. Although it was already Reception.

"Congratulations. Mr and Mrs Viscerno"

Miya always cringed at those words, thinking that her first name doesn't even on that surname. Alucard of course was okay with it.

It was only an act. He know it. But for him, this is the best day all of his life. He was married to the girl of his dream, but its only an act and she doesn't feel anything towards him which is hurting him secretly. After this wedding he wouldn't be able to see her anymore as she needs to settle things for her on the other country. Which is adding more pain to him.

It was only an act, a play. Where he did his part seriously. He treasured every moment he was with her. From the first time they were together, to the Alucard's fanclub mess and where he stole her first kiss, to the everyday teasing and destroying her day, to the wedding where he kissed her in from of the priest, in front of the people. The Wedding play feel surreal to him. He was hurting silently.

Until finally the day has come.

Alucard watched his beloved walk down slowly on the aisles, slow yet beautiful music was playing on the background. He was stunned at her beauty just like the fake wedding they did.

Miya finally reached the Altair and a hand offered her. She smiles so sweetly, so dearly. Miya finally found love, she finally found her man.

And that Man, would never be Me. Alucard thought.

It hurts him seeing her marrying the man whom she really love. Alucard was pushing his tears away. He was so damn hurts. He wants to shove that man away because that should be him in the first place if it wasn't only his stupid enough to confess his true feelings.

I guess, this is what fate give us then huh? Then we must do our best to play it.
Miya please, if you really love him. Promise me you won't let anyone hurt you. Remember i will always be here for you even if it hurts me to see you in that Wedding Dress.
