Lies
The Super Model

“Raya Drisana, finally announced who the poet of heart has captivated her all this time. In a magnificent engagement event held overnight at one of the luxury hotels in the Central Jakarta area, Raya introduced her mooring to the public. The man is Varen Admaja, a one-year-old man on top of the super model. In their engagement, the son of the conglomerate and the hotel and entertainment entrepreneur pinned a diamond ring that cost more than 500 million rupiah. The winner of Princess Beauty Indonesia in 2017 revealed how happy she was that night. With wrapped in red— dress"

“Damn it!” Karan cursed loudly, feeling powerless to hear the news again. He nearly threw his television remote on the floor if Ian didn't stop him. “What's so great about that guy compared to me?” karan said in a cold and hateful tone.

His eyes barked at the television, showing how much jealousy was in him. Of course, it was not just once Raya appeared in front of the camera with another man. Counted seven times during the woman's career as a model. But as a fiancee? This was the first time and Karan could not accept that at all.

“Tell me, Ian. Why did the man dare to touch my lover's hand?” Karan spoke again. This time he showed a dark face full of anger towards Ian, which made Karan's personal assistant shudder in horror.

With hesitation Ian replied, “I don't know, Sir.” Ian caught a faint red color on Karan's face, knowing when Karan was in a very bad mood and choosing to be careful in speaking so as not to aggravate the situation.

“You don't know? Hahaha!” Karan let out a voice full of emotion, between laughter or anger. “What have you been working on all this time, huh? I told you to spy on him so that not a single man would dare to come into contact with Raya. And now the engagement. Do you know how big of a mistake you made?”

Karan stood up from his chair and approached Ian. With a quick movement, he pulled the neck collar until the assistant felt suffocated.

“P-snake! I-I'm sorry,” said Ian stammered because his breathing began to sting.

“How does it feel? You can't breathe? That's how I feel, Ian. I wouldn't be able to breathe without the Kingdom. You should understand that, asshole!” Karan further strengthened the grip of his hand on Ian's collar.

“Sa-I understand, Sir. To-please forgive me.” Ian tried to ask for Karan's mercy. His eyes were red and a little watery. If Karan doesn't let go immediately, maybe in the near future Ian will be completely out of breath.

Karan is devastated to hear Ian's plea. There's no point in killing Ian now. He still needs the assistant to take care of all his needs, especially those related to Raya.

“Damn it!” karan complained as he removed his hand from Ian's neck. His bad taste was bestowed by throwing a coffee cup from his table on the floor to shatter into pieces.

Ian flinched, then lowered his head while adjusting his breath. Honestly, it was his fault. He was too busy preparing for the wedding as Karan had asked for it to the point that the most important thing just escaped. Since returning from Paris, Karan has ordered Ian to prepare for his marriage to Raya. They had not met, but Karan was sure he could get Raya easily. The most desirable reason is wealth and popularity. Luckily, Karan had it all.

Karan Reviano is the only child of the Reviano family, a conglomerate family that owns a mass media company that houses several television stations, print media and film production houses. The only media company with the highest annual income in Indonesia.

With its great popularity and wealth it certainly makes many women tempted to approach Karan. There are a lot of women who come to him, offering various things to please Karan including with their bodies. Unfortunately, Karan didn't bully them at all. Since long ago until now, Karan only focused his attention on Raya Drisana, a super model who is very famous and now rumored to have been engaged to other men.

“Who is that jerk's male name?” ask Karan again. He moved, opened the window behind his desk and turned on a cigarette on his lips. Fortunately, the room has been transformed into a smoke-resistant room. Otherwise, the fire alarm will sound and the water will go down and wet all the billions of rupiah worth of documents that are on his desk.

“Varen Admaja, Sir,” says Ian.

“Shoppers!” swearing Karan again. He smoked his cigarette until it ran out, then sucked a new one until his chest felt tight. Tight because of the cigarette smoke that filled his lungs and shadow Kingdom with other men. “Find out all the information about the man, including how to destroy him. No one can have a Kingdom but me. Do you understand?”

Ian nodded quickly. “I understand, Sir,” said that he obeyed a crazy order from a man who was so obsessed with the super model.

...********...

For the rest of the day, no one dared to speak unless they had obtained permission. And Karan immersed himself in work, overtime in his room in order to forget about Raya. When the clock showed at 1 am, Karan decided to go home. He had to find a way to meet the fiancee of Kingdom no matter what. Karan will not let his lover be taken by another man.

As soon as he arrived at his mansion, Karan let out a long breath. He chose to go straight into the room so he could see the large frame of a girl attached to the wall. The girl in high school clothes who was smiling cheerfully towards him. Girl named Raya Drisana.

“How can you be so cruel to me, dear? After ruining my life, now you're smiling at another man? No, Honey. You are mine! No one can touch your body except me,”.

The Shadow Kingdom danced in front of Karan. The woman's sweet smile and her affectionate behavior with her fiance, all of Raya's behavior that seems to make fun of Karan. How can Raya live happily this long while Karan is so tormented?

Karan moved closer to that frame. He kissed the frame right on the foot of the Kingdom. Then, Karan spoke again, “Honey, I promise I will bring you here, to our house and make you feel what I felt 12 years ago.” While staring at the photo of Raya, Karan's lips formed a terrible grin.

No one can stop Karan now. In fact, neither did his parents. Not because Karan showed how much he wanted to have Raya, quite the opposite. In the eyes of the family and the surrounding community, Karan is not a kind prince. Karan has a foundation to help many people, from healing diseases to helping victims of natural disasters. Not infrequently the public is more praised the readiness of the assistance provided by the Karan foundation compared to the assistance from the government.

Not only that, Karan is also friendly to others. He still came to the matchmaking event made by his parents to honor them. Although in the end, Karan rejected the woman politely. He always said that his heart was already owned by another woman, and until then only that woman wanted Karan to marry. Although it has been rejected, because Karan's friendly attitude makes women keep chasing him.
