"Kelvin..." Luliyah looked at Kelvin in panic. She really didn't want to return with her father. Luliyah knew that she would not be treated well if she went back to her the Parker Family house. Maybe her father would beat her up like the way he beat Natali... Maybe Mona would also beat her when she returns back there. Kelvin's face stiffened when he heard Martins's words. His forehead creased, showing his dislike for the man in front of him. Meanwhile, his hand stroked Luliyah's back gently and said, "Nothing can take you away from me." Martins was very upset. He had lowered his pride by apologizing to Kelvin in person, even though the man was younger than him. But Kelvin didn't want to forgive him. He told Natali to kneel down, admit her mistakes and apologize. In fact, he was willing to allow his daughter get punished by anything to assuage Kelvin's anger. But Kelvin didn't forgive him either. "Kelvin, Luliyah is my daughter. You have no right to interfere in my business with
Natali was waiting for her father in the car. She kept on wondering why her father was still inside the house.Few minutes later, Martins walked out of Kelvin's house with hasty steps. Natali saw her father's hand was bent and his face looked pale. "Father, what happened to your hand?""Let's go to the hospital, Drive!" Martins said coldly. He ignored Natali's question and ordered the driver. Natali didn't dare to ask again. She quickly opened the door and helped her father to get into the car.After their car drove off, Natali couldn't help but felt curious in her heart. She wanted to know what happened."Father, who bent your hand like this?" Natali asked. Without asking, she actually knew who did it. But she wanted to hear from her father. After all, she shouldn't just assume. She wanted to know if Kelvin was really that cruel."Kelvin." Martins replied, gritting his teeth.As Natali guessed, Kelvin did this to her father. Could it be that Kelvin broke her father's hand in exchange
"On a date?" Luliyah looked at Kelvin in surprise, thinking that she heard wrong. She was lucky she didn't spill the tea in her hand."What should we do tomorrow?" Kelvin asked, ignoring Luliyah who was still confused. He was already thinking of their date.Luliyah's face looked serious as she was thinking of something. She didn't know what to do when going on a date. She doesn't have an experience of dating. Shouldn't this be the man's job? It was always the men who decided where they'd go on a date."I have no dating experience. How about we take a walk by the lake? I've never seen the lake in the back yard." Luliyah said.She didn't know what to suggest. They couldn't go shopping and they couldn't go to the cinema either because Kelvin couldn't see. Then what could they do?Kelvin frowned. It was clear that he was dissatisfied with Luliyah's suggestion. He was not interested in taking a walk by the lake side. Is it even a date if they didn't come out of the house?There was silence
After Luliyah found about the ointments, no one had appetite. Kelvin only played with the spoon. He was angry. In fact, the food that was served on the dining table was left untouched.Harris also didn't join them that night because he wanted to investigate. Although Mrs Binta told him to eat first, he decided to go out first.After dinner, Luliyah and Kelvin sat in the living room. Luliyah read a book, while Kelvin was listening to the news with his eyes closed.Suddenly, Luliyah's phone rang.Luliyah was shocked when she heard her phone ring. She was scared because she thought it was her father that was calling her."Why don't you pick the call?" Kelvin asked. He felt annoyed by the loud ringtone. Either he was disturbed by the ringtone or because someone called Luliyah. He wanted her all to himself."I'll take the call." Luliyah answered. She was about to get up and take the call elsewhere, so she wouldn't disturb Kelvin. But before Luliyah could leave, Kelvin said softly, "Just do
"Sir, I've been looking for the pharmacist who mixes your medicine. He died because he slipped and fell off the balcony of his house." Harris said from the end of the phone. A cold smile appeared on Kelvin's face. "Imelda is very smart. She moved so fast." He turned and leaned his back against the fence. His eyes were fixed on the the tiny body that was sleeping on the bed. He wanted to make sure Luliyah was still fast asleep. His eyes softened when he stared at Luliyah's figure on his bed. "I also met one of his colleagues. The colleague said that the pharmacist was the only one who administered the medicine for you." Harris said. "Come back, Harris. There's no point staying there. The person who makes the medicine is dead. You won't be able to get enough evidence to bring down Imelda." Kelvin said quietly. Harris was very reluctant. He was annoyed that he could not get a concrete evidence to ensnare Imelda, even though they knew she was the one behind it. Since Kelvin's acciden
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
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
"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 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
