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
Chapter 14"Shawn!" Battrice chased her son when Shawn out of the room. “Where are you want to go?”"Hello, good morning, Mom. I want to check my wedding preparations with Luna today.""Cancel the wedding!"Shawn frowned. "What do you mean, Mom?""I say again, cancel the wedding, Shawn!" Battrice's voice was getting higher and higher."How can I cancel a wedding that's only two days away, Mom?""Cancel the wedding or you'll lose everything," Battrice said again."W-what do you mean?""Shawn, don't you understand? Your father now thinks you are unfit to lead the WS Group, and he will replace you with Kenneth as soon as he finds him. You should now prove to your father that you are indeed worthy to be CEO of the WS Group. Cancel your marriage and go to work to Switzerland tonight on business.""But I can't go to Switzerland, Mom. I can't cancel or postpone my wedding with Luna, we've already prepared everything. Besides, I've asked Cassandra to represent me to Switzerland. You don't hav
Kenneth sat looking at the paper that he had found in the wallet. 'There is someone who wants to kill you. Be careful!'Kenneth reread the writing while guessing who might have sent the secret letter to him. But Kenneth was sure, the person who intended to kill him was most likely Shawn. Kenneth had no other enemies except his brother. Maybe because Shawn saw Kenneth at the jewelry store a few days ago, then Shawn instructed someone to find and kill Kenneth.But why does Shawn want to kill Kenneth? Didn't Shawn already have the WS Group he wanted? Does Shawn still see Kenneth as a threat to him?"Ken..." Quella touched Kenneth's shoulder. Kenneth was slightly surprised by Quella's presence."Yes, Quella. Do you need anything?"Quella shook her head. "I want to talk to you.""Okay, please sit here."Quella smiled then sat beside of Kenneth."What do you want to tell me, Quella?""Kenneth, will you take me out of this house?"Kenneth frowned. "Do you still want to go out for a walk? Do
