Chapter 62: Her Newlywed Husband

Alvin completed his conversation with foreign men before they used the car to reach the deck where the seaplane was ready. Alvin's men moved their luggage to the seaplane and the duo got inside, angry at each other. Both didn't bother to know why the other one was angry.

The duo didn't speak for the next half an hour. Anya enjoyed her view until her eyes fell on Johnson's P-S-R cruise ship. Although she had read almost every detail of the ship, she was still a little shocked looking at the enormous white ship floating on the dark blue water. 

The white ship had seven stories on the top from the bow terrace or sundeck of the ship and she also knew there were four stories compartmentalized to the bottom. At the very bottom, there will be a huge engine room immersed in the water. Her work was only connected to the navigation room where the captain and vice-captain of the ship will be present and the radio room. Those rooms were on the fifth floor. 

Though it doesn't matter anymore where she might get the room, it would be better if they don't get on the fifth and sixth floor. If something goes wrong, it would be hard to find a place to hide. Thinking of it, she felt angry again and looked daggers at the man next to her. All her efforts to study the architecture of the P-S-R ship and escape routes went in vain. She has to study again for an emergency purpose.

Alvin turned to her, feeling her eye on him. Seeing her look away grumpily, he ignored her too. He couldn't believe she was ready to call him brother. Even the thought of it frustrated him. He diverted his attention to the events on the ship and the possible danger that could reach them.

As the seaplane got closer, Anya got a clearer view of the ship top view and she couldn't understand the rich. There are amusement parks in almost every city, but to spend more money, rich people fancy the same rides on a cruise ship. Yeah, the terrace of the cruise ship was designed as a thrilling amusement park. She could spot the humans as little dots playing in pools, an active roller coaster that had only two or three people, and other rides. 

Her eyes fell on the rescue boat descending to the water next to the ship. She noticed the ship had halted completely waiting for them. The boat had two people and a few people were at the railing, looking at the seaplane. As the seaplane went further closer, it started to descend to make a landing on the water surface. 

When the seaplane made a perfect landing and moved closer to the ship, Alvin suddenly recalled something and finally broke the silence, "Little Donut, do you get seasickness?"

Anya turned to him and innocently shrugged her shoulder, "I don't know." She had been to beaches but never went on boats or traveled on the sea. So she had no idea. 

She asked without understanding how he asked her out of the blue, "Are you seasick?" If he was nauseous, though she would be worried, she would smack him hard. Because he joined her voluntarily.

Alvin seemed to be in thoughts while he responded to her, "No, I am not. Let me know immediately if you feel uncomfortable." He didn't think of it before. Instead of a seaplane, they should have taken a speed boat for her to get adjusted to.

Anya was surprised that he recalled it for her before she could even step on the ship. She peeked at his face and asked in a tone of tease, "Are you worried about me?" It was normal for people to be concerned but it wasn't normal for him to think of somebody else.

Alvin preferred to lie like he always did, "Heh… I am afraid you might drag me down with you if you fall sick."

Anya: "..."

She couldn't understand what he loses if he says 'Yes.' Then she wanted to smack herself for having such expectations even for a second.

The seaplane came to a complete halt. The boat was on her side, Alvin stopped her from getting off first. They shifted the luggage first, then he got off the boat and offered her his hand.

She could feel he was worried about her and wasn't ready to let her be around anybody else due to his distrust of the people. Sighing to herself, she accepted his hand and went on the floating boat. 

Standing in the red rescue boat, she looked at the massive ship next to them. She felt a cold run down her spine thinking how humans are capable of making such things.

Looking at her gazing up, Alvin asked to make sure, "Little Donut, are you alright? Are you dizzy?" His voice was laced with concern and his hold on her hand slowly turned firmer.

"Nope." Anya shook her head in response and noticed every man had their eyes on her as if she was going to faint any second. Well, standing next to the white gigantic ship was scary. 

She looked at Alvin's hands holding her firmly as he guided her to sit. Alvin faintly nodded at the pilot of the seaplane who prepared to leave, then he sat next to her.

"Are you guys from Narnia?" A rough voice of a man caught the duo's attention.

Anya responded as Alvin doesn't speak or respond to others, "Yes, we are."

The operator nodded at them with a hum as they cued the staff on the ship to pull the boat. Anya concluded in her mind the two men in the boat were from the same country by their accent and looks.

She involuntarily held Alvin's arm when she felt the boat shake while leaving the water surface. In reaction, he became overprotective and wrapped his arm around her shoulder, pulling her much closer, their shoulders crossed over, making her lean on him.

Anya: "..."

She wanted to remove his hand and get away when she heard the men chuckle in low voices. She was speechless looking at their smiles. They clearly misunderstood them. Well, Alvin could also see that and he chose to ignore them.

When the boat entered the ship, Anya saw more men standing there. Two men were leading the rest. One was in a white uniform with a cap similar to one who wears navy. She concluded him as an officer who was in charge of the safety and another man in a suit as manager of the trip.

Though Alvin said they were VIPs, the regular checking started, "ID cards?"

Anya looked at Alvin who took two cards out and handed them to the officers. The officer looked at the cards and their faces, "Collins!?" Everyone looked at each other at his words.

Alvin's name was Alvin Collins and Anya's name was Anya Collins. Since Harper arranged the cruise for the people who were in parliament, they had to appear as the family of Bernard.

The staff was from Narnia so they knew Bernard had a son studying abroad. Assumed Alvin as Bernard's son. So they turned to Anya, they never heard Bernard having a daughter, "Mr. Collins, is she your wife?"

"No..." Anya blurted out in reflex without thinking. "He is my…"

Alvin then realized why she wanted to call them siblings. He wasn't ready to call her a sister so he quickly jumped in the conversation before she could complete her words, "Husband."

Anya: "..."

Bewildered, Anya turned to him in shock. Her look was saying, 'Are you out of your mind?'

The officer and others didn't understand. Anya said 'No' and Alvin said 'husband.' 

Alvin smirked, greatly liking his new identity of husband to his Little Donut. He looked at his new wife. He understood Linus's purpose behind his question. He didn't have to think anymore, he would have definitely accepted Anya if she was chosen by his father. 

He quickly managed the situation wrapping his arm around her shoulder, "Sweetheart, just because I couldn't afford a whole ship, you can't deny our relationship. I am your newlywed husband." His tone had a hint of tease. He made a helpless face to her as if he was bullied by her.

'Newlywed husband!?' Anya couldn't believe her ears. 

Did she perhaps miss to see where Alvin went and his doppelgänger got into the seaplane?

Does seasickness make a person insane?

Whatever it was, she was baffled and also angered. She stomped his feet, craving to punch him in the face, "What the…" 

Alvin reached out and pulled her to his arms. He buried her face against his chest as he murmured, faking an awkward smile, "Are you eager to become food for the shark?"

Then he said loudly, "Don't be angry, Little Donut. So many are watching us." His tone was sarcastic to her ears, instead of persuading.

Anya stilled in his arms and didn't struggle anymore. If she denies their fake relationship, the ship staff will doubt them. The very important need for any plan with 2 or more people was coordination. If she and Alvin fight, they wouldn't only fail the plan, their lives will be in danger.

The ship's staff were speechless for a second and then they concluded as she was a rich family daughter who had a big dream of having a whole ship for her vacation. 

Vacation for the newlywed?

"Are you guys on a honeymoon?" One asked and a few chuckled.

Alvin: "..."

He hadn't thought one lie would link to another and that would become huge. Anya will beat him to death. Staying in the same room wasn't in his mind.

Just when Anya was trying to calm down, her whole body turned cold hearing the man's words. 

Will she have to share a room with Alvin? 

'Bad luck is unmistakably my soulmate..' She stood like a pretty doll that lost its soul.
