Kai got to the office where he worked. Unbeknownst to him, he was waiting for someone in the main lobby of the office.
"Arabella?" call Kai when he sees his girlfriend standing in the lobby.
"Kai?" Arabella approached Kai.
"Where have you been? I've been looking for you everywhere, but I've never found you. Wh why? Why did you betray me?" Arabella cried while hitting Kai in the chest with both hands.
All the employees who were in the crowd stared at them.
"You see what?" yelled Kai to his employees.
All of his employees pretended not to have seen the scene.
"Bell, don't be like this ! Come with me" Kai pulled Arabella's hand.
"Take me off !! You're mean to me, you betrayed me," Arabella's cries grew.
"Come, come with me !!" Kai forcibly pulls Arabella's hand towards the elevator to climb into her private room.
"Silence !!" kai said softly when they were in his private room.
"How am I supposed to calm down after what you did to me?" scream Arabella.
"You've slept with that cheap lady !!"
Kai closed his eyes and looked puzzled to explain the true incident to Arabella.
"Bell, listen to me !!" Kai grabbed Arabella's chin with both hands.
"I didn't sleep with that woman, believe me !"
"How can I trust you? While the photo that was circulating had explained everything," Arabella screeched.
"Listen to me carefully !! That night, I saw Alula being harassed by her ex-boyfriend. Then I followed him, because I still had a conscience. Her ex-boyfriend was about to rape her and I helped her," Kai explained.
"Why did you help him? You should have just let her be harassed by that man !!!" scream Arabella.
"I can't be like that, Bell. I can't keep quiet when a girl is treated like that, please understand !!" Kai exhaled his coarse breath.
"Then? Why is your position in that position? In the photo you're pinching her body," Arabella hit Kai's chest again.
"He was delirious then, and he pulled my hand so I fell on the bed."
"I swear, I didn't lie to you. I didn't do anything with the girl, "Kai cupped Arabella's cheeks warm with both hands.
"And the matter of the marriage, I was forced to marry her under the coercion of daddy and mommy. Because, not yet 24 hours the news was released my company shares have plummeted 35%, as well as the daddy company that was affected, too, I don't want the company that has daddy and grandpa waking up with his blood and sweat to be destroyed in the blink of an eye because of the news."
"I will marry her only until the news of me is gone and forget, seven months is enough for that. After seven months, I'll divorce her and come back to you" Kai added.
"Aren't you lying to me?" Arabella looked at Kai in doubt.
"I'm not lying to you, look at my face !! Do I look like I'm lying to you?"
Arabella seemed to believe what her lover described.
"Well, I'll let you marry him. As long as you promise to keep your word, you'll divorce her after seven months" Arabella softens.
"Yes, I promise you," Kai then pulled Arabella into his arms.
"After you've married him are we still in touch?" ask Arabella.
"I think we should break for a while, I don't want anyone to be suspicious about the marriage. If we're still with someone else, we'll be suspicious."
Kai lies, he just doesn't want to betray anyone who's his wife including Alula. Although the marriage will only be in a landmass with a compulsion, but he must respect the marriage.
"I promise..."
Arabella tightened her arms around Kaivan.
*****
William and Sofia are at Alula's house to propose, and are talking about preparing for Alula and Kaivan's wedding to take place in three weeks.
"My wife and I are here to propose to Alula to marry our son" William said as he settled himself on the living room couch.
"If you please, the wedding will take place in three weeks. Do you guys mind?" ask William.
"No, we don't mind. The sooner the better to avoid the worse news" Halbert, Alula's father, said.
"Yes, I think so. The more days the media coverage increasingly cornered Alula and Kaivan, as well" said Ainsley, Alula's mother.
"alright. If we have agreed on the time of the wedding, we just take care of the WO and also the vendors who will be involved. We will also pay for all the wedding expenses Kaivan and Alula" Sofia said.
"Thank you for your good intentions. May our sons and daughters be happy with this marriage. Please taste our simple banquet !" Ainsley.
William and Sofia also drink coffee that has been served by the host. Suddenly their attention is distracted by the arrival of Alula.
"I came home" said Alula as she entered the house.
"Al, here baby ! Here's Kaivan's parents coming to propose to you" Ainsley said.
Alula was shocked at what she heard. Then he glanced at Wiliam and Sofia. Alula immediately overcame her shock and approached Kaivan's parents.
"Good afternoon, aunt. Introduce me Alula Claire," Alula smiled warmly to William and Sofia. Then he reached out to shake his two future parents-in-law.
Although Alula did not want this marriage, but of course she had to be polite to older people. Moreover, William and Sofia will be his in-laws even if it is only in seven months.
"Good afternoon, dear," Sofia stood up and shook Alula's hand.
"So you're Alula, our daughter-in-law's name?" William stood up and shook Alula's hand.
Alula just nodded her head while smiling as sweetly as possible. Then Alula invited William and Sofia to sit back, she also sat down next to her parents.
"What's your job now?" ask William.
"It just so happens that I work as a teaching assistant, um."
"Today I was just fired from my job" Alula murmured in her heart.
"This girl seems like a good boy. She is very beautiful and ethical. I liked this girl more than Kai's current lover, she was very fond of partying and also very aggressive towards my son" Sofia muttered inwardly as she watched Alula who was in front of her.
"Maybe that was what we were talking about at our meeting this time," William looked at the watch in his hand.
"Later we will inform you about the WO and also the vendors involved" he continued.
"Om, can Alula ask that her wedding dress be designed by Alula's best friend? It just so happens that he works as a desaigner in his boutique."
"Of course you can dong, baby. That will make our work easier" Sofia said.
"You just order the wedding dress you want, later in the afternoon om will tell the assistant to deliver a check to you for the payment of the dress" William exclaimed.
"Thank you, om, aunt." Alula smiles.
"Name-sama, Al. Yes, we go home first. It's afternoon. I hope we can be a harmonious family" William stood followed by Sofia.
Alula and her parents take William and Sofia to her yard.
