The Black Swan

Marve's car sped past the cars moving in the same direction.

"Calm down Marve ..." Maya tried to comfort Marve but Marve didn't hear at all until they arrived at a big house with a yard as wide as a football field with towering cypress trees lining the side of the main road leading to the house's entrance.

Marve ignored Maya and immediately entered the house, Maya followed Marve with unanswered confusion.

What bothered her husband to make him so anxious like this?

"Grandpa..." Marve screamed as he entered the house, but the house was so calm that it was even quiet.

Marve was so worried when he heard that his grandfather had fallen in the bathroom but what he saw now did not match the situation her grandfather's bodyguard had told him.

Maya is now next to Marve, she saw an old man who used to shout at her in the elevator. The man was laughing at a young beautiful girl.

"Is that your grandfather's young wife?" Maya whispered, Marve couldn't help smiling even though he was just about to get angry because it turned out that his grandfather was just bragging about falling in the bathroom.

Marve then took Maya's hand and held it tightly. "Have you been okay grandpa?"

Darwis turned to hear the voice of his favorite grandson and with a cracking smile he got up and was assisted by a girl who had been with him for a long time, but his smile fell as soon as he saw Marve didn't come alone.

"I'm fine," Darwis replied.

Darwis is pleased that Marve is worried about him but he is not at all happy with someone standing next to Marve. Maya looks beautiful and graceful but has a cheerful side that shows on her face even though Darwis still doesn't care, Their social status was different even though she was as beautiful as a goddess, Maya was still a poor girl.

"Why did you bring that poor girl into my house. " Darwis's face turned fierce now.

"She is no longer poor grandfather, she has become my wife. That means she owns a part of my treasure." Marve replied, he pulled Maya's body closer to him and added to Darwis's annoyance.

Wow, this old grandfather in front of her is very arrogant, Maya can only be quiet and smile while leaning on Marve.

"Still she's a girl who was born poor." Darwis did not stop criticizing Maya and staring at her full of oppression.

What's wrong with being born poor? Maya didn't want to answer Darwis's words but her heart ached. If only Darwis knew that if she was born into a rich family even rich enough to compete with them, would she have the same attitude?

Maya knows how big the business empire her mother used to be, which is why she grew up to be a spoiled girl who had to get whatever she wanted. But after the death of her parents, she changed herself. Maya instilled something in her mind if she was born poor and her luxury that disappeared overnight was just a sweet dream so Maya turning into a poor girl won't affect her life.

if she was born poor maybe she wouldn't be a spoiled girl and her parents are still alive today because she wouldn't ask them for anything that day. The day Maya nagged her parents to buy souvenirs which made her parents die on the way to buy souvenirs for her. At least Maya still has a complete family if only she was born poor.

"Even if she turns into a swan, she will not be able to fly. It will not be able to reach us at the top of the world." Darwis spoke with his arrogance and unstoppable hatred. Marve so much looks like him but why can't Marve live up to his standards and instead tarnish the family's reputation by marrying a poor girl like Maya.

Maya is well aware of the look of belittling the woman next to Darwis and also the disdainful gaze of Darwis that he shows. Maya held her breath, she tried to smile and said calmly. "Grandpa, your money might make you look great, but god could just turn you around overnight. Life is not just the rich and the poor but the clean-hearted and the dark-hearted. Even though he is poor if he has a clean heart that person will be great. I'm sure you are not part of the dark-heart, right? So stop insulting me and just accept me as the daughter-in-law of this family."

Darwis's eyes were glaring now as if he wanted to get out and beat Maya who had dared to speak to him like that.

Marve turned to Maya, he knew Maya has a presumptuous nature in her when she dared to fight him but this time Maya's words and the way his grandfather's pressure impressed Marve. Maya really deserves to be his wife, seeing Marve's grandfather's surprised expression can only hold back the joy in his heart, The insult his grandfather gave Maya to Maya was the same as the humiliation his grandfather used to throw at his mother, only that his mother never retaliated and could only keep it in her heart.

But Maya is different, she's a tough girl who can't just be bullied.

Darwis is now getting more and more annoyed and walking one step closer to Maya, maybe the distance is far enough that Maya can't feel his hateful vibe towards him. "Sassy girl, how dare you advise me! " Darwis shouted, he pointed at Maya with his stick because she was so angry but Maya was not afraid and instead showed a smile that didn't care.

"Grandpa, a wise person will not reproach others just because of his wealth and social status."

Incredible, Maya is so brave. Marve couldn't help smiling. Maya's words so clearly offended Darwis that Marve could see that his grandfather's face was turning a red color now.

"How disrespectful... " The woman next to Darwis sneered Maya made him not accept, that woman was the same woman Darwis introduced to Marve, she was Tiffani.

"Young wife speaks more clearly, I can't hear your sneer," Maya said defiantly.

Tiffani frowned, the girl in front of her was not as innocent as it seemed. Maya is so scary.

"She's not my young wife, she's the woman I'll match Marve with. She is an educated girl and heir to the group Wings. How presumptuous you insult her like that. " Defend Darwis, Tiffani smiled triumphantly when Darwis defended her while staring at Maya now full of hatred.

Wings Group...

Maya's heart trembled again at the name of the company. The company is supposed to be her if her parents don't die. Could it be that she would be in the position she is today if that accident had not happened to her?

"I've married grandpa, just give up. Even if I wasn't married I wouldn't have chosen the woman next to you because she is more worthy of being your young wife. You look good together." Marve refused firmly and instead hugged Maya from behind and then showed his affection in front of Darwis and Tiffani without hesitation. A very real mockery.

"That's right, grandpa, you two are very compatible," Maya replied. But Maya still couldn't let go of the woman in front of her.

"God damn it! You two insult us!" Darwis squealed until he became weak and Tiffani immediately refuted Dervish's body.

"Too bad you didn't break your bone when you fell in the bathroom, I rushed over here just to see you in pain, grandpa."

Maya turned to look at Marve's smiling face, this wasn't like when Marve had been so anxious after taking the call. If he only wanted to see his grandfather in pain then he would just act normal and even ignore it. It looks like Marve is hiding his affection for his grandfather behind the hatred.

Maya realizes that Marve loves his grandfather but they both have differences and high self-esteem to form a wall that separates them as they are today.

"Honey... Since we've arrived here, let's spend the night here, to be honest, I can't wait to make love with you since earlier."

Maya rounded her eyes perfectly, what Marve said just now sounded erotic and inappropriate, Just now Maya was going to whisper to protest but Marve had picked her up and brought her upstairs to the room he used to occupy when he was staying at this house.

Marve's eyes stared at Darwis who saw him in disbelief, he then smiled before lowering Maya after reaching the top floor and then kissing her.

Darwis's heart will completely fall off right now because of Marve's act of showing his affection with Maya up there as if deliberately lingering to make him hurt his eyes.

They were still hot kissing and had not yet entered the room, making Darwis unable to hold his body until he fell and sat while Tiffani only called his name, worried.

But that voice didn't sound at all in Darwis's ears, his pride was hurt. How dare Marve to him!

"Get an ambulance, or I'll die right now," Darwis said in the remaining consciousness, a panicked Tiffani immediately obeyed what Darwis ordered while Marve and Maya had disappeared into the room.
