After half an hour's drive, their car entered an elite residential area. Although, they didn't stop at one of the houses in the area. Their car continued moving, entering the interior of the housing to a fairly remote area. The car kept going until they arrived at a large gate that was very beautiful. The gate was not tightly guarded, only a CCTV was on the side.The gate suddenly opened automatically, letting the luxury car drive in.They still had to go through a long road which took 15 minutes, until a very large and luxurious house was plastered in front of them. The house was built in modern style with a large flower garden in front of it."Iris ... Very beautiful..." Luliyah muttered, looking at the flower garden in front of her. Her gaze looked dreamy as if she was in the middle of a paradise filled with flowers.Kelvin who had previously closed his eyes, immediately woke up. He looked at the woman beside him gently.Luliyah seemed to feel Kelvin's gaze on her, so she quickly t
After walking around, Binta returned to the kitchen to prepare dinner. Luliyah decided to spend some time and take walk in the iris garden in her new home.Earlier she could only catch a glimpse at the flower garden from the car, but it turned out that the closer view was much more beautiful than she had imagined. The flower garden was so big and there was a greenhouse in the middle of it. When she entered the greenhouse, she couldn't believe her eyes. The greenhouse more beautiful than the iris garden in front.Various kinds of flowers with different colors boomed there. A white swing chair wrapped in vines made the place feel like it came from a fairy tale. This place would become her favorite place in the house or her hiding place; Luliyah thought.As she was circling the greenhouse and watching every plant in it, one of the servants who was quite young approached her, "Madame, dinner is ready."She was so lost in thought that she didn't notice the sky was getting dark. She thanked
Luliyah was frozen in place for a few minutes until she could hear the sound of the shower coming from the bathroom. The splashing of the water made her wake up from her reverie.When she was about to walk towards the bed, the view of the lake from the window that Kelvin was seeing earlier seemed to attract her. The lake looked very calm. The surface was clear that it bore the reflection of the moon hanging high in the sky. It was a very beautiful sight and it probably should calm her down.In contrast to the lake that looked calm, Luliyah's heart felt chaotic. All of this was because of Kelvin's existence. The man was cold, mysterious and terrifying. For some reason, her heart felt chaotic when she was near him.Especially when he approached her earlier, with his shirt buttons slightly opened.Luliyah waved her hand above her head, as if trying to get rid of the thought out of her mind. What was she thinking now? I'm I out of my mind?She used both hands to cover her face in embarras
Their kiss became even more passionate. Their lips were inseparable as Kelvin led Luliyah's body to the bed. He placed Luliyah's body on the bed gently, as if she was an that can easily break.His body was on top of Luliyah's, locking her and leaving no room for movement.Luliyah began to feel uncertain. She was kissing a man she didn't love! Was she doing the right thing?She shouldn't do something like this with a man she didn't love, although they are husband and wife. Should she refuse? Or should she surrender herself to him fully? Besides, I'm enjoying it; Luliyah thought deeply.To her surprise, Kelvin's gentle kisses swept her away to a new feeling she has never felt before, as if they were lovers who love each other.Kelvin did not have time to think about Luliyah's anxiety. He was so immersed in his own passion that he continued to kiss Luliyah's lips, face and neck. One of his hands began to slowly unbutton Luliyah's pajamas, then his kiss fell to her chest.The scent of flo
Luliyah spent an hour in the bathroom, trying to avoid Kelvin. When she got out of the bathroom, she was already dressed up in her overall shirt and short. She polished her face with light makeup. At least, she had to look neater now that she has become a wife.After she finished preparing, Luliyah got out of the room and was headed to the dining table. Kelvin was already seated, waiting for her so they could eat together. He looked so handsome in his outfit. Even though Luliyah used the main bathroom for an hour, it was obvious the man used another bathroom.Instead of looking annoyed, a faint smile appeared on the man's face when he chatted with Harris and Mrs Binta. It looks like the man is in a good mood today.Luliyah watched Kelvin from a distance. The man was wearing dark clothes as usual. His shirt was dark gray and a black coat draped neatly behind his chair. His hair was neatly styled and sunglasses framed his eyes.She walked to the chair beside Kelvin, where she sat the pr
"Hello...." Luliyah answered as she picked up the call.'Luliyah, can we meet? There are things that I want to talk about.' Her father said.Her father didn't even bother to ask how she was after they haven't met and chatted for a long time."What is wrong?" Luliyah asked. She felt strange that her father suddenly wanted to meet her. From the way the man spoke, Luliyah knew that her father was not looking for her because he was longing to meet her."Father will be waiting for you at the cafe. I'll send the location to you." Martins said before he hung up. The man didn't even give Luliyah the chance to answer him. Luliyah didn't have the time to respond to her father whether she was willing to meet him or not.After the call was cut off, Luliyah let out a disappointed sigh. She shouldn't be this disappointed. She should have known that her father wasn't looking for her because he missed her.It looks like Luliyah's heart was still hopeful.She immediately put her feelings aside and cal
Agi stood at the entrance of the car while waiting for Luliyah to get into the car. When Luliyah got outside, the middle-aged man opened the car door for her."Madame, I was ordered by Sir to escort you." Agi said."Thank you. Just call me Luliyah." Luliyah replied as she entered the car and said goodbye to Mrs Binta. Agi heard what Luliyah was saying, but he was not used to being informal with his employers, so he just smiled and nodded his head.Before seeing her father, Luliyah decided to visit her mother in the hospital first. She wanted to see the condition of her mother and she also wanted to be sure if her mother's hospital bills had really been paid by Kelvin....She walked towards the ICU, a room she was very familiar with. She saw her mother still lying in coma. Luliyah could only see her from behind the transparent glass window. Her eyes turned red as she looked at her mother's pale face."Mom, you have to get up, okay? Don't leave me alone." She muttered softly, hoping th
"Why did you ask to meet me suddenly?" Luliyah asked with seriousness. She wanted her father to stop beating around the bush and go straight to why he wanted to see her."Father needs your help. I heard that you are close to Kelvin Williams." The man said.Luliyah was so furious. The reason why her father wanted to meet her was because of Kelvin.The man didn't even ask how she was, or how her mother was doing. He only came after hearing the news that Luliyah had a relationship with Kelvin."Dad's company is in bad shape. Dad needs help. Can you ask Kelvin to cooperate with dad's company?" He begged. Martins knew that Luliyah was an innocent girl and his daughter loved him so much. If he met her face to face, she will definitely be willing to help him. Unfortunately for him, Luliyah was not stupid."I can't help, Father." Luliyah said firmly.Martins was stunned when he heard Luliyah's answer. He did not think Luliyah would refuse his request. He thought with just a little pitiful loo
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
