Knock! Knock! Knock!
Alexander went to Quella and Kenneth's room early in the morning to check on his daughter and make sure that Kenneth hadn't had sex with Quella the night before.
Alexander knocked on the door several times, but no one answered. Alexander finally decided to smash the room's door open.
Kenneth woke up when the door opened loudly and made a lot of noise. As soon as he saw Alexander's face, he got to his feet. Even though Quella was still sleeping in her bed,
Alexander said, "I've been calling for a while, so why didn't you answer, huh?"
"I'm sorry, sir, but it looks like I overslept because I’m exhausted," Kenneth said.
"Exhausted? What did you do last night that wore you out? Did you—"
"Oh, no, sir. I didn't do anything last night because I was too tired. Maybe it's because I've slept on the streets before."
"But you didn't sleep next to Quella last night, did you?"
"Sir, you knows I sleep on the floor because you just saw it."
Since Alexander didn't say anything, it looked like Kenneth wasn't lying. Alexander looked at Quella, but she was still sleeping. Alexander asked again, "Why does Quella's face have so many streaks?"
"Master, I don't know either. She was already in that state when I met her.”
When Alexander told Kenneth about Quella, Quella always did some crazy things when he met new people. Based on Kenneth's answer, Alexander could guess that Quella was up to his old tricks again.
Alexander went to where Quella was sleeping. "My dear daughter, let's get up first. Morning has come. Let's have breakfast together, "said Alexander.
Quella didn't want to open her eyes, so she just moved around a little. Every morning, Alexander tried to get Quella to leave the room, but Quella always stayed. Alexander could only sigh when he saw Quella's mood that morning. Suddenly, he looked at his daughter's feet, which were sticking out from under the blanket. Alexander pulled back the blanket so he could see Quella's feet. He was shocked to see that they were wrapped in bandages.
“Why are Quella's legs like that, Kenneth? What did you do to my daughter? Did you hurt her?" Alexander grabbed Kenneth by the collar and threw him against the wall as soon as he saw what was going on. Alexander's eyes were red, and the gentle side of his face was gone.
"N-n-no, sir, I didn't do anything,” said Kenneth.
"Then why are Quella's legs like that, huh?"
Kenneth said, "That's because Quella stepped on a piece of broken glass by accident. Last night, as soon as I walked into the room, Quella attacked me, sir. She also lost her mind and shattered the glass on the table. But Quella just stepped on the piece of broken glass by accident." Kenneth told Alexander the truth about what had happened the night before.
Alexander let go of the hold he had on Kenneth's neck. "Come with me! I want to talk to you about something,” he said.
Kenneth went out of the room with Alexander. Quella opened her eyes when they both came out. She had already heard Alexander and Kenneth talking. Quella didn't understand why Alexander was being so mean to Kenneth. According to Quella, Alexander was always nice to the men he met. This also made Quella wonder even more about who Kenneth was. Who exactly is that man?
At the same time, Alexander and Kenneth were already sitting next to each other.
"You've seen how sick my daughter is, right? I hope you don't say how Quella is to anyone. You can't tell anyone what you saw in this house. I won't think twice about killing you."
Kenneth felt his jaw tighten. He didn't understand why Alexander was acting more and more randomly toward him. At first, it seemed like Alexander needed Kenneth's help, but now he was acting more and more randomly. Kenneth never asked Quella to marry him, but Alexander asked Kenneth to marry him.
“Why don't you talk? What's on your mind?" asked Alexander.
"There are many things about you that I don't understand, sir. Why did you ask me to marry your daughter if you think I could hurt your family?" Kenneth spoke up.
Alexander got mad when Kenneth asked him a question. “You have no right to ask me that! You have no right to talk to me that way. You have to do what I say since I paid you a lot of money. You have no right to fight with me at all!" Alexander got angry.
Kenneth's eyes burned again when he was made to feel like a fool. But he couldn't fight Alexander because he didn't have enough power at the time. In the end, what Alexander said was true, and he did pay a very high price for Kenneth. Kenneth shouldn't have to make so many objections or arguments.
"One more thing, Kenneth, I told you I would still pay you even if you couldn't heal my daughter, but that doesn't mean you can mess around with this job. You must keep doing a good job. I hope that Quella gets better.”
"Fine, sir. I'll do it,” said Kenneth.
When the talk was over, Kenneth went back to the room. He saw that Quella was still on the bed, just like she was when Kenneth left the room earlier. Kenneth opened the window curtains because it was morning so that light could come in.
"Who told you to open the curtains?" yelled Quella in a way that caught Kenneth off guard.
"Oh, sorry, Quella. I just wanted to open the window so that this room could get some fresh air. The morning sun is also good for your health. "
"This is my room, and you can't do anything in it without my permission. Close the blinds once more!” snapped Quella again.
Kenneth had to shut the curtains once more. “Oh, yeah, Quella, don't you want to wash your face? If your feet hurt and you can't go to the bathroom, I'll help you wash your face," said Kenneth again.
"I told you, you couldn't tell me what to do. Do you understand? "
When she was yelled at like that, Kenneth could only gulp. He nodded and went to clean himself in the bathroom. Kenneth still had the guts to tell Quella off after he took a bath and changed his clothes. “Do you want breakfast, Quella? Let's have breakfast together," he asked. But Quella didn't answer either. Kenneth finally left the room on his own and went to the dinner table.
"Madames and monsieurs, good morning!" Alexander and Sherly were having breakfast when Kenneth came over to greet them.
Sherly gave Kenneth a snide glance. "What do you want to do here?"
"I want breakfast," He said.
Sherly gave a cynical smile right away. “Do you think I'll let you sit with me at the table? Don't count on it! We're paying for you because you're a bum, so you don't deserve to eat with us. Go to the kitchen and eat with the other servants if you want to eat.”
Kenneth was shocked because he didn't think he'd be treated like a slave in that house. If Alexander and Sherly really are going to treat Kenneth like a slave, they shouldn't marry their daughter.
Kenneth went to the kitchen to get some food. He planned to eat in the kitchen with the servants, but Kenneth remember of Quella. So, he decided to bring food to Quella's room so he could breakfast with his wife.“Quella, here I brought you breakfast. Let's have breakfast together.""I would rather not eat. I'm not hungry, and I would rather not eat.""Okay. If you don't want to eat, then I won't eat either. We will starve together.”"Up to you. Do you think I'd care if you starved? I don't care about that at all.""Okay." Kenneth placed the plate of food on the table, then he sat on the sofa to watching Quella.In the long run, Quella began to feel uncomfortable because Kenneth was always staring at him. "Why do you keep looking at me like that?""I'm not allowed to do anything in this house, so I just can to watch you.""I don't allow you to look at me like that either!""Oh, alright." Kenneth turned around and lay down on the bed. Kenneth decided to sleep.A few minutes later, Quel
Inside his residence, Winston Sanders was seen talking to John, his personal assistant. "How about Kenneth, John? Have you found out where Kenneth is?""Sorry, sir, I haven't found him yet.” John replied. "Actually a few days ago, I saw him on the street, but when I chased him, he ran away. Maybe he knows that I want to bring him back to this house."Winston Sanders seemed to sigh. "I really regret his decision to leave this house. I'm glad he lives here. Kenneth is a smart and obedient son, he helps me in many ways.""I think Kenneth is dissapointed when you bequeathed the WS Group to Mr. Shawn." John ventured to express his opinion.Winston Sanders seemed to sigh once again. "How can I bequeath the WS Group to Kenneth? Kenneth is a child out of legal marriage while Shawn is my son from a legal marriage. If I bequeath the WS Group to Kenneth, then people know his identity, its will make the company's image will be bad."John was silent, he didn't want to respond anymore for fear that
One afternoon, Kenneth went out to buy canvases, paints, sketchbooks and other painting supplies. Luckily, he still had some money to buy it all. Kenneth began to feel bored every day just being in Alexander's house. He planned to paint Quella tonight."Where have you been?" Alexander intercepted Kenneth who had just come home with painting equipment."I was out for a while to buy some painting equipment, sir.""You can't leave this house without my permission!""Oh, sorry. Next time I'll ask your permission before going out.""If you need something, all you have to do is ask the maids here. You don't have to go out to buy it by yourself. Do you understand?""Yes, sir. I understand." Kenneth seemed to swallow, he felt imprisoned in Mr Alexander's luxurious house. He felt like a bird in a cage, but Kenneth had to obey all orders and prohibitions from Alexander. He had to endure the next six months until he got one hundred million dollars from Alexander."Hello, Quella! Look, I just bou
“Do you like the ring?” Shawn asked Luna.“Yes, I really like it. This is a very beautiful and expensive ring. Thank you darling. You know me so well how to make me happy." Luna kissed Shawn's cheek once more. Shawn replied by hugging the girl's waist."Tonight, I will take you to dinner with my family, I will talk to them about our wedding plans. What do you think?""Is that true? Oh, of course, I totally agree. But, am I beautiful enough to meet your parents tonight?”"You're always beautiful all the time, honey."“But I still feel insecure. I think I'll have to buy some clothes.""Okay, I'll buy it for you.""Oh, that's very kind of you."That night, Shawn took Luna to his house. "Mommy, Daddy, this is Luna, my lover."Winston and Battrice glanced at a girl who standing next to Shawn."Aren't you Kenneth's lover?" Winston asked Luna. Winston remembered that Luna often came to his office and Kenneth had also introduced Luna as his girlfriend.Luna looked nervous at Winston's questio
Knock! Knock! Knock!As usual, Alexander knocked on Quella's door every morning to check on his daughter's condition. Kenneth opened the door because Quella was still sleeping at that time.“Why is Quella still sleeping at this hour? Is Quella sick?" Alexander asks Kenneth how Quella is."No, sir. Quella is fine.""Did you sleep next to her last night?""Not. I sleep on the floor.”"Good. You have to remember our agreement, you can't sleep in the same bed with Quella, you can't have sex with her either. Because if you break the agreement, then I won't give you any money.""You don't have to worry, sir. I will not break the agreement.”"Good, that's what I expected. Now come out, you must clear the grass in my yard with the other gardeners. Don't just laze around here because I also feed you every day."Kenneth gulped when he received such insult from Alexander, but he couldn't argue. So, Kenneth came out of Quella's room and went to the side yard.A gardener gives Kenneth a lawn mower
Quella smiled at Kenneth's painting. "How wonderful painting it is!" Quella muttered while staring at the painting."Do you like it?" Kenneth asked Quella, amd than Quella nodded her head immediately."Please display this painting on the wall of my room.""Oh sure, Quella. I'd be happy to do that for you. By the way, it's getting hot, let's go back inside the house." Kenneth held out his hand, Quella took Kenneth's hand and they both entered the house."Quella!" Mr. Alexander and Mrs. Sherly approached their daughter immediately.When Mrs. Sherly was about to hug Quella, Quella stepped back. She didn't to want to be hugged by her mother."My daughter, I am very happy to see you like this. This is a very happy thing for me.” Alexander.Quella was silent, then Quella continued walking towards her room. Kenneth frowned, one thing that made him wonder about Quella's behavior, why was Quella always curtly to her parents?"Kenneth, wait a minute!" Alexander restrained Kenneth's steps who we
Winston came to his company, but he couldn't find Shawn in his room. "Where is Shawn?" Winston asked Cassandra, Shawn's secretary."Mr. Shawn hasn't come since morning, sir.""Not in since morning? Isn't there an important meeting with investors this afternoon?""Mr. Shawn said he couldn't attend the meeting this afternoon because he had more important business to attend to.""What's more important to him than work? Ah, that one child is really unreliable. Call him quickly, and tell him I'm waiting for him here.""Okay, sir."Cassandra rushed to call Shawn. "Hello, Mr. Shawn, you were asked to come to the office right now by Mr. Winston.""What? My father is in the office?""That's right, sir.""Didn't you explain to him that I had important business outside.""I already said that, but Mr. Winston still asks you to meet him right now.""Arghh, fine, I'll be right there.""Does he often leave meetings like this?" Winston asked Cassandra again.Cassandra nodded her head."Give me Shawn'
Chapter 13.“Will you dance with me?”Quella fell silent when she heard Kenneth's request. "No music," Quella said a few minutes later.Kenneth just smiled. "Let the beating of our hearts be the music." Kenneth took Quella's hand gently. He wrapped his arms around Quella's waist then wrapped Quella’s arms around his neck. Quella felt her heart beat faster."Can you hear the music?" Kenneth raised his eyebrows.Quella smiled and nodded her head. Then they began to dance by stepping their feet to the left and to the right. They both met each other's eyes.'Quella, I promise, I will make you happy, I will heal all your wounds. I am very grateful because God has destined me to meet you, I believe, God is also the one who destined me to fall in love with you.' Kenneth spoke in his heart.'Kenneth… you're a complete stranger to me, but why do I feel so comfortable to you?' Quella's heart also whispered, she realized that she had fallen in love with Kenneth's sincerity. Only Kenneth could he
