Lies
Rival Love

Raya. He had not expected Karan to pose such a tempting threat. Right, Raya can't wiggle. Indeed, he could not spend so much money because of his saving sense so high. However, Raya prefers to squander her husband's money rather than get punishment from the man. Because Karan never messed around when giving the punishment. The man will keep it no matter what. As a result, Rayalah will suffer all day because he can not get out of bed as he felt yesterday. The woman no longer wants to experience the same thing.

Raya also agreed to Karan's orders. I don't know what's on display at this auction. Although dabbling in the world of modeling for a long time and often observe the fashion and style of dress of foreign artists, but the knowledge of the Kingdom of art is very poor. Maybe if art lessons came up now and Raya was obliged to follow them, then she would be the first student who did not go to class because of how bad the Raya's assessment of art was, especially painting cells.

Today, in the auction held by Karan's aunt, the items presented are old paintings that are not known by Raya, even seeing them it feels like the woman has never. Everything is unique, and also strange in the eyes of the Kingdom. Instead of paintings that look so realistic, the paintings are even more inclined to look abstract. Raya will not know what is being painted if he does not hear the explanation of the meaning conveyed by the host. He began to raise the numberplate in his hand when a children's-themed painting appeared.

“First offer 20 million rupiah. Anyone want to bid higher?” exclaim the host.

With full trust from Raya directly offer it at a high price. “100 million,” he said. Raya did not need to glance at Karan, but she was sure that her husband was grinning. Really strange guy. Instead of forbidding his wife to live extravagantly, her husband instead told her to spend the money that the man had deliberately brought to this place. Of course the main reason is not to make a donation, but to show off wealth. After all, that is the purpose of this charity event. And not only Karan who thought like that, the majority of the conglomerates present also agreed with such pride values.

“150 million,” said someone who was behind Raya, exactly two rows from the bench that Raya sat on. The man's words provoked Raya, he bid a more expensive amount.

“300 million,” says Kingdom. Everyone who was there reacted. They began to fuss with the nominal mentioned Kingdom. Some think the knowledge of the Kingdom of art is so low because an art that is only valued at 20 million is bid up to 300 million. There are also those who began to sneer at Raya, assuming the super model just wants to show off wealth without knowing the value of art at all.

Surprisingly, there were also people who raised their bid above the nominal mentioned Raya. The same person as the first person to fight Raya. “400 million,”.

Out of curiosity, Raya looked back. How surprised he was to see the person he was fighting with. Reagan, the male model who has now returned to acting. Just like Raya, Karan was surprised by Reagan's presence there. It feels so angry. Had they not been in a public place Karan would have been eager to approach Reagan and deal a deadly blow to the man's beautiful face.

“500 million,” reveal Kingdom again. He knows this is too much, but he has to do this. Karan was already furious at Reagan's presence. The only way for Raya to be able to calm Karan down is by winning this auction duel. After all, the nominal he mentioned was still far lower than the amount the man had prepared for the auction. It just helps to spend it.

“So how was Mr Reagan? Would you like to add a quote?” The host gave the show a chance as Reagan looked hesitant.

“Alright, is there another bidder?” connect the host. Of course no one wants to bid higher than half a billion rupiah just for a painting that even the name of the painter is not famous. That's why the host also confirmed that the painting of a girl who was sitting on the ground with a dirty face because of playing mud as belonging to the Kingdom of Drisana. “Mother Kingdom, please go upstairs. And to submit proof of ownership, I invite Mr. Reagan to go on stage.”

Reagan again? Raya jerks. Who is Reagan? What was his position until the man was asked to hand over the proof of ownership of the painting to him? Although her head was filled with big question marks, Raya still went up on stage after getting permission from Karan. Raya did not want to make a fuss by inciting Karan's anger. It is better for the woman to negotiate with her husband's possessiveness.

“Before I hand it over, I will convey the meaning of this painting.” Reagan began to explain his reason for being on stage. The painting is a painting made by a mother who had cancer. The child he painted was his son who was playing in the mud and the painting was his last painting before the mother died. And the mother was a domestic assistant who had worked at Reagan's house, while the child was now Reagan's best friend. “Indeed the painter is not the famous painter that we often hear his name, but this painting is no less valuable and meaningful with other famous paintings. And I as the person who is guarding this painting is very grateful that the person who owns this painting is Raya Drisana, my own co-worker.”

Everyone greeted with a boisterous greeting Reagan said. It was unexpected that there was such a deep meaning to the painting. They suspect that Raya can understand the meaning of the painting until the super model wants to reach into her pocket to bid for the painting. In reality, Raya only bargains. Of all the paintings that have been auctioned before, only this child's painting makes Raya excited and willing to bid at a high price.

After the submission of proof of ownership, Karan immediately stood up and helped his wife who came down from the stage stairs. Karan embraces Raya's waist possessively while whispering, “You are amazing, dear. How could you steal so much attention, hm? Have you planned this before?”

Raya quickly shook her head. Before Karan starts to think strange and unreasonable, it's good for Raya to immediately clarify it. “Karan, this is not what you think. I had no idea Reagan was here. I also didn't know this painting was a donation from Reagan.”

Karan chuckles at Raya's panicked face. He kissed the wife's cheek before letting the woman sit down. “I know, Honey. I-i understand. You don't have to be afraid like this,” he said. How Karan did not know because obviously he saw the surprised face of Raya when he saw Reagan. Evidence that Raya did not know the man would be present in this place. After all, Raya also did not understand anything about painting. Because, of all the previous items that have been auctioned, Raya instead chose ordinary paintings whose value is not as fantastic as before. The only reason Karan remained silent despite knowing his wife's weakness was because he wanted to see the wife's confused face when he saw some paintings. For Karan it was priceless entertainment.

The only problem for Karan is Reagan. How did that man get into this show? Karan was really curious. As he recalled, the mother's family had nothing to do with Reagan, let alone the husband's family of her aunt. Although not so close to his extended family, Karan still monitors anyone who is in a relationship with his family. Karan does that because he believes he will one day need it when he is in a difficult situation. For example, to invite cooperation or the worst is to threaten those who dare to harass his power.

Karan stared intently at Reagan who was descending from the stage. Reagan still had time to throw a look at Raya and smile at the woman. The smile that made Karan go black so he imagined how to tear the lips of the shameless man. Karan does not want to admit it, but he is disturbed by the presence of Reagan. He was sure that the man must be planning something to snatch the Kingdom from his side. And Karan, despite having to lose his life, will never give up the Kingdom to any man on this earth.
