Kelvin Williams, son of Isaac Williams and also CEO of Williams Group was caught in a hotel with a woman.
The news headlines was the hottest news since morning and literally caught everyone's attention. How come? Kelvin Williams is a very famous male figure in the city. He rarely appeared in public and was very careful about keeping his name. But this morning his name suddenly was on the front page of the news because of an affair allegation!
Kelvin Williams already had a fiancee, but he was in a hotel with another woman.
"It turns out that all men are the same!
Disgusting!
"Isn't that the flirting woman's fault? Surely that woman wants his wealth!
"Natali Parker should have cancelled her engagement. Why should she be engaged to a cheat?.
The news page was filled with this comments. All of those comments were aimed at Kelvin and the woman whom he slept with.
Currently, Kelvin was on his way to his company. He was wearing a black long sleeved shirt, while his jacket was neatly folded beside him. As usual, sunglasses perched on his face, making him look even more handsome. Unfortunately, everyone thought that Kelvin was blind, so they all felt that the glasses were meant to cover up his weakness.
He sat in the middle seat casually, looking out of the car window. He was with his trusted driver, Agi. And also Harris who was sitting in the front seat. Harris read out the news that was widely circulated on the internet as well as the comments that cornered his master Boss while waiting to receive orders from him.
"Sir, would you like to erase all this news?" Harris asked.
As one of the influential families in the city, deleting news was not a difficult thing for Kelvin. However, Kelvin just shook his head.
"Leave it alone". Kelvin didn't care about the news. After all, the news helped in cancelling his engagement to Natali without having to find excuses. Besides, everyone would know that he had a relationship with Luliyah . Luliyah was his!
"Just announce that I cancelled my engagement to Natali".
Harris hesitated for a while at Kelvin's words. Cancelling the engagement was a big decision. Not only would their engagement be cancelled, but the cooperation between the two families would be in chaos.
"Sir, cancelling the engagement is a risky decision. Don't you want to think about it again?. Harris tried to suppress his fear and advised Kelvin.
Kelvin just waved his hand to answer Harris's advice and asked him to get off the car. "Find out the complete information about the woman who was with me last night".
Meanwhile, at the residence of the Parker family, Natali's mother, Mona, saw the news on her cellphone. Her hands were shaking as she read what had happened. She gripped her wine glass tightly as if she wanted to break it.
She was furious.
She had struggled to get a rich and powerful man to be her son-in-law, but all her plans fell apart just because of a bitch.
The current condition of her husband's company was not very good. The marriage agreement was the only way that they could continue to enjoy wealth and a comfortable life. However, everything was messed up because of that woman.
She immediately banged on her daughter's room door, "Nat, what happened?"
Natali was very happy her plan worked.
She didn't want to have a blind husband like Kelvin. Although Kelvin was indeed very handsome and manly, what would be the point of good looks if the man was handicapped. She had to take care of this man all her life and her friends would humiliate her because she had a blind husband.
With the plan she had drawn up, she could get out of his gloomy future without looking cruel. In fact, people would sympathize and support her. After that, she could look for a man in her heart who was handsome, attractive and certainly not blind.
Not a single person knew this plan, including her mother. Her mother was too mad about health and sacrificed her only daughter to marry a blind man in order to ensure their wealth.
Money, money, money. That was all in her mother's head.
However, Natali did not want to be blamed by her father and mother. She must pretend that she was the one who who had been betrayed in the relationship and get sympathy from everyone.
When she heard a knock on the door of her room, she immediately pinched her skin so hard that tears began to fall from her eyes. She opened the door to her room while crying uncontrollably.
"Mother .... Luliyah ..." She said stammering, immediately hugging her mother.
Hearing that woman's name once again made Mona furious. She didn't even realize that her daughter was acting and immediately said, "Don't bother, Mom will teach her a lesson". She said while stroking her daughter's head. Mona didn't know that her daughter was smiling in her arms. She didn't know her daughter tricked her.
"Luliyah is really too much, What's our fault, Mom?" She said while crying.
In the past, Luliyah had hurt Mona. Now, she snatched Natali's fiance.
Indeed, for a long time, this girl has been nothing but a bad luck. She should have been left stranded on the streets. What was the use of us providing assistance and shelter to this girl? In the end, we are the ones who suffer. This time, Mom will step in and beat her up! Natali thought seriously.
Natali's ploy was extraordinary. The news about Kelvin and Luliyah's affair had ignited Mona's anger. Natali deliberately brought up the past to make her mother even more angrier.
No one would be suspicious of her. She had erased all available evidences and witnesses. She had also closed the mouths of everyone involved in the scandal.. Everyone would blame Luliyah and defend her.
Luliyah did not know what was going on. Currently, she was on her way to Natali's house to ask for an explanation of all that had happened. She didn't even check her cellphone, let alone read the news. She was having mixed feelings.
She felt confused and angry at what Natali had done to her. She also felt hurt and disappointed over Natali's betrayal. Why did Natali do this to her? What exactly was Natali's goal?
Asides that, her thoughts kept on lingering back to the man she was with last night. Who exactly was that man? How did the man know her name? Does the man really know her? But why didn't she remember him at all, if the man claimed he knew her? All these questions kept ringing in her head.
These thoughts made her feel dizzy. In the meantime, she would demand an explanation from Natali first.
Her feet kept on walking fast until Natali's house was right in her front. The house still looked luxurious as before. The house that was once her shelter, but not anymore. That place brought pains to her and her mother.
In the past, the house was her palace. She was her father's daughter and her mother was his queen. Until one day, the divorce of her mother and father made them leave that place. The divorce was more complicated as everyone thought.
The fence was black. wrapped in gold carvings that adds to the interiors. Behind the fence, there were luxury cars lined up in the beautiful park.
Now, this house was occupied by her father and his new family. Meanwhile, she and her mother resides in a small shabby apartment, racking their brains for ways to provide for their daily needs. Plus, her mother is currently admitted in the hospital.
After their call ended, Luliyah waited for Kelvin's return. Time passed quickly. Luliyah has been waiting for hours but Kelvin had not yet returned. Luliyah's head kept turning to stare at the clock on the wall, but the clank of the clock made her feel even more anxious.Why has Kelvin not come home? Has he forgotten their date? Was Kelvin so mad at her that he cancelled their first date?Luliyah sat on the living room sofa. The television in front of her was on, the book on her lap was opened as well but Luliyah paid no attention to it. Her mind was not stable.Mrs Binta could only chuckle when she saw Luliyah's behavior. She thought that Luliyah was missing Kelvin, even though they had only parted ways for a while. 'Such a young love...' Mrs Binta thought.A few moment later, the sound of Kelvin's car was heard from outside. Hearing this, Luliyah immediately jumped from her seat and ran towards the front door.Kelvin had just stepped out of the car, but he could see Luliyah running
Luliyah tried to call Kelvin one last time. The phone rang for a while, but Kelvin didn't pick the call. When she was about to hang up, Luliyah realized that the call was already connected. Kelvin had already responded to her call."Hello, are you busy? Am I bothering you?" Luliyah asked in a low voice."Hmm....No. What is wrong?" Kelvin replied briefly. He was in a bad mood so he didn't want to talk at length.Luliyah could feel it that Kelvin was angry, so she felt tensed a little. "I've been hired. Tomorrow I will start working so I will be able to familiarize with the Store's products. After that I will be assisting the head-perfumer to make perfumes. " Luliyah explained. "So? Do you want to leave your blind husband at home, to pursue your dreams?" Kelvin replied wryly. What he said did sound absurd, but he couldn't help feeling annoyed knowing Luliyah met Oscar. If only he could, he really wanted to lock his wife at home so that she wouldn't have to meet any man.Luliyah felt he
Luliyah immediately called Agi after leaving Rose Scent. She tried to calm her mind, not wanting to make Agi worry when he saw her. She took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, wiping the tears that remained on her face. It didn't take long for Agi to arrive at the door of the mall and pick up Luliyah. Luliyah was trying to calm herself down. But even until she got into the car, Luliyah still looked sad. Today was supposed to be her happy day because she got accepted to work at Rose Scent, the place she wanted to work. Her meeting with Oscar today was an unexpected event. She didn't even have time to prepare herself. She did not know that Oscar would return. Her pleasant day was ruined and her mood seemed to have plummeted. While sitting in the car, Luliyah propped her hand to the side while looking out the window. She didn't pay attention to the scenery outside. Her mind returned to her memories from the past. Luliyah still clearly remembered the incident three years ago, when th
Luliyah left the store without looking back. She left in hurry while trying to cover her tears. She didn't want anyone to see her crying. It was better for her to leave Rose Scent immediately.Meanwhile, Oscar was still staring at Luliyah's back as she walked away.After Luliyah left, Raisa immediately went to her brother. "Brother, are you still missing Luliyah? Don't you know that she snatched Natali's fiance? Now she has a very rich lover." Raisa said while shaking her brother's hand."Natali's fiance? Do you mean Kelvin Williams?" Oscar asked and turned his head to look at his younger sister's face. His sister's words caught his attention. He was surprised at the information he just received."Yes. How come you haven't heard the news? About two weeks ago, Luliyah and Kelvin were caught having an affair. Their photo of leaving the hotel together was spread on the internet. The day after that, Kelvin immediately cancelled his engagement to Natali." Raisa said while looking at her br
"Luliyah ...." Raisa smiled when she said Luliyah's name. Luliyah had a bad feeling when she saw the smile.She didn't want to have anything to do with this girl, but she couldn't go anywhere now. Raisa blocked the exit and didn't allow Luliyah to go through.Luliyah could only sigh when she saw Raisa standing in her way. She tried to stay calm when she faced the girl, "Raisa ..." She said quietly."Luliyah, Nice to meet you again My brother is back home. I want to buy aromatherapy for his room. Do you know the one I should choose?" Raisa said, looking closely at Luliyah's face as if she was observing her reaction.Luliyah's face went pale when she heard the news that Raisa's brother was back home. She was so shocked when she heard the news.'That means, Oscar has returned to Switzerland...'Seeing that Luliyah was silent and never answered, Raisa immediately grumbled and said, "Manager, this woman is an employee at this place, right? Why isn't she attending to me?" Raisa said arrogan
Luliyah followed Esther into her office. A desk and work chair was at the end of the room along with sophisticated computer sets. Meanwhile, on the side wall there was a bookshelf that had books about perfumes. However, Esther did not walk to her desk as Luliyah thought. Instead, she walked over to one of the large bookshelves and pushed it away. Suddenly the wall behind the shelf opened, showing a laboratory. 'It is a hidden laboratory...' Luliyah was flabbergasted as she stepped into the secret laboratory. It was like the scene she'd seen in movies. "There, are some of the spices commonly used in my laboratory on the table. How many spices do you know? Can you smell it and tell the difference?" Esther stood aside, with her arms folded across her chest. She looked closely at Luliyah. Luliyah walked over to the table, scanning the whole laboratory with sparkling eyes. She fell in love at first sight. This was truly her dream workplace. Usually she would make perfume in a normal p
"She seduced Natali's fiance? Is that true...?"The two female employees were talking about Luliyah while looking at her with cynical and contemptuous eyes."Why did she come here? Don't tell me she wants to work here." One of them said with disgust."Why would she work here? After all, she already has a rich man." Her colleague replied with sarcasm. They continued talking about Luliyah and giggled.The two women were not so far from Luliyah, so she could hear everything they said.Even though she didn't do anything wrong, shame and hurt still arose in Luliyah's heart. She didn't know why everyone treated her this way. She felt like she was stripped naked in public and surrounded by all the people who insulted her for a wrong she didn't do.But she must not back down. Her dream is right before her eyes. She couldn't give up.Luliyah gritted her teeth and took a deep breath, forcing herself to remain calm. She clenched her fists and strengthened her determination to achieve what she wa
After breakfast, Kelvin went to the office with Harris. When they left for work, Luliyah immediately got ready to go for her job interview. She was still stunned by the luxury clothes that Kelvin got for her in the closet. The clothes were too fancy for her to wear to an interview, so she decided to wear her old clothes. She was wearing a white shirt and black trouser that looked smart. Her long hair was tied into a ponytail, making her long neck stand out. Her reflection in the mirror looked like a college girl looking for a job. She didn't look like a married woman at all. A knock was heard from the door. When Luliyah opened the door, Mrs Binta was standing in at the doorway. It seems like Kelvin told Mrs Binta that she was going for a job interview today, so she took the initiative to help Luliyah get ready. "Luliyah, you are very beautiful today." Mrs Binta said when she saw Luliyah was already dressed up. Luliyah only smiled shyly at Mrs. Binta's praise. Mrs Binta tilted her
Luliyah cried in Kelvin's arms. She kept on crying non stop. There is no way she could forget the nightmare that haunted her sleep. "It was just a dream. It's okay..." Kelvin hugged Luliyah while gently stroking her hair. He tried to calm her. "I... I dreamt that we were locked in a dark place. The place was so dark that nothing could be seen. But suddenly a big fire engulfed us, and it burnt everything..." Luliyah said haltingly. Her head laid limply on Kelvin's shoulders, but her hands were still on Kelvin's body. She kept on crying profusely. When he heard Luliyah's dream, Kelvin just stroked her head gently. He allowed Luliyah to cry as much as she wanted, so that the woman would feel relieved. "My head hurts..." Luliyah muttered. The more she tried to remember her dream, the more pain she felt. Her head felt as if it was going to crack. "It's just a nightmare. Do no think about it. Look at me here, I'm with you." Kelvin said softly as he tapped her back gently. However the p
