Marriage, Love Later
Kiss in the Kening

A waiter serves butter chicken fried rice in front of Kiara. He was immediately amazed. This is her favorite breakfast menu. How the hell did they know?

Kiara glanced at Shawn's food menu. The English breakfast. Then, his eyes narrowed sharply. Did he know everything, including his favorite breakfast?

As if realizing the suspecting gaze was pointing at him, Shawn said calmly without turning his head. "Why not eat?"

There was no reply for a moment, Kiara still accused him. "How much do you know about me?" tanyakanya.

"Everything, even to the point of your head I know," Shawn replied as he stabbed a piece of bacon with a fork.

How rogan! Kiara turned her face away, and then sneered softly. "Ih, you pretentious man!"

"I also know what you're saying" said Shawn, making Kiara look up and smile in embarrassment.

Silence, even though there is something Kiara wants to convey. He had been holding his lips back because he was reluctant to speak when the man was enjoying his breakfast. Finally, he decided to wait until breakfast was over.

However, Shawn realizes there is something about this girl. Kunyahan dineya looks tasteless. Is he still depressed because of this coercion he's doing?

"What do you want?" shawn asked, wiping his mouth. The choice was to be lenient with the girl.

Kiara raised her head with both eyes rounded. "Em .. what does that mean?" Really, he still doesn't understand that Shawn's question is a good offer.

"I mean? Do you want anything before we get married?"

Oh, get it now! An offer? A good opportunity. Would he be able to trade it for an idea he had thought of last night?

Oh, naw! Kiara blurted when her mouth was about to speak. He thought again. Did he ask to meet his sister and mother? But, that means he is willing to marry this foreign man? Is it not that he is trying to avoid marriage?

"Why?" tagged Shawn, his eyebrows rose next door as soon as Kiara again locked her lips tightly.

Kiara glanced doubtfully at the two choices. But in the end, he chose one of them. "I don't feel free in my room. So, can I not if I'm not locked up in the room?" His words somewhat murmured in fear that the man was angry at his presumptuous request.

Which is thought to be just the opposite. Shawn seems to think long enough, weighing the risks and also psychic Kiara. Seeing that expression, Kiara's hope immediately plunged. His face slowly turned grim.

"OKAY. But, you can't get out of this house, except with my permission."

The unexpected man, suddenly made Kiara wonder at his attitude. Turns out, the forcing master had a good side as well. The dumbfounded expression changed with a smile that adorned his face.

"All right," said Kiara.

Shawn nodded, but inwardly it was actually nice to see Kiara smile.

"Wedding will be about a week away. Maybe, you will have a chance to get out of the house, because you have to try on some dresses, then do prawedding photos.

Aweek? How short! hiss Kiara in heart. Not enough time for him to run away, especially if he never found the opportunity and gap to get out.

Seeing him think hard, Shawn was astonished again. "What's wrong? You don't agree?"

Very! But....

"Ah, really, sir. About the wedding date, you set it up, " Kiara said, smiling forcedly.

Okay, no obstacle. It's great if the girl complies. Shawn smiled with satisfaction.

"Okay," he said as he got out of the chair. "There are several servants, including the butler Tati who you can order to do something about. About your phone, I replaced it with a new one. From this moment on, you have no more relationship with your sister and stepmother. The family you have now is just me, your husband."

Husband? Even in Kiara's heart wouldn't call her that. However, for the sake of convincing her, Kiara smiled knots in front of her. The man was satisfied with his reaction.

"Alright, I'll go to the office first." The man approached, then a peck was pinned on Kiara's cheek.

"What the fuck is he?" it's after Shawn vanished from sight. Then, he rubbed the kiss on his forehead with roughness and disgust. "Who wants to marry her?"

Suddenly, he was quiet and silent. He forgot that he was at home with a lot of ears. In the corner of this room alone were a few servants watching.

He was grumbling. Did the servants hear it? Hopefully not.

Kiara took a natural stance by sitting back in her place, then finished her dish. Although his appetite was reduced, he would still eat it to the end, as his negotiations with the man were successful. Now, just find a way to escape from this place.

After breakfast, he went around the house thinking and looking at the situation of the house. However, he was still not free, the butler tailed behind him.

"If you're like this, how do you want to be able to find a gap in this house?" he murmured inwardly, occasionally glancing from the corner of the tail of his eyes.

Arriving in the hallway, Kiara stopped her steps unexpectedly. The butler stopped a few meters from the girl. She did not expect Kiara to turn around. Although unexpected, the butler looked down while waiting for Kiara's next reaction.

"Didn't Auntie have any other work to do?" kiara asked in annoyance.

A strange-sounding question. The butler paused for a moment to look for the meaning behind the question. "I've arranged tasks for each of the servants, so they can do everything" he replied straightforwardly.

Kiara was even more annoyed that there was no more reason to refute her. Is it necessary to talk about it in a more lenient tone?

"Bi, to be honest I'm not comfortable being followed on. I know, this is part of the job Mr. Shawn gave to Auntie, but trust me, I'm not going to run away. There's a lot of CCTV in this house, right? I think it's enough to keep an eye on me."

The waiter thought hard. Kiara's statement has a point, but the task is still a duty, he cannot carelessly take decisions that are not his authority.

"I understand what Miss means. But, I still can't obey you," he replied, making Kiara sigh in disappointment.

Not exactly the heart, but what to say, the butler must stick to the principle. However, I don't know why he couldn't see the girl's beautiful face was grim. That's why he immediately added.

"What if I ask Mr. Shawn first?"

Her pithing face managed to also touch the middle-aged woman's most delicate heart. Kiara cheered inwardly, silently smiling while turning her face away.

Kiara nodded. "thank you. Well then, I'll go to the room first, yeah."

"good. Come, I take it," said the waiter, stretching out his hand and slightly bowing to let Kiara walk first to the room upstairs.

...🦋...

Meeting's done. Shawn, escorted by his secretary, walked out of the meeting room.

"What's my next schedule?" shawn asked, glancing slightly at the small man.

The secretary scrolled his phone screen slowly, reading Shawn's schedule all day. Shawn nodded in understanding, but inwardly disappointed that there was no time for him to be alone with his future wife.

"Oh, yes, sir," said the secretary, as they reached Shawn's study. "Since then, the big lady called your phone."

What an annoying news. Shawn grunting. Want that woman, anyway? Must be talking about matchmaking?

Shawn did not budge, reaching for the doorknob of his study room with a riled face. However, when he opened the door, he was suddenly greeted by a spoiled hug from a woman.

"Shawn!" that girl, cheerful.

It's shocking, but only for a moment. When he saw a middle-aged woman sitting on his grand chair with a wide smile, Shawn's expression turned cold.

The woman, what is she planning?[]
