Touching Your Heart
Forced to Beautify Yourself
After their quarrel on the side of the road, Kayden immediately led Gwen by force to a cafe not too far from their reach. The woman unceasingly grumbled while frowning because her husband did not comply with her request.
“Looks like I hate you, Kay!” gwen said as she pulled the chair violently, then she sat down and gave a sharp look to Kayden who was sitting in front of her, but was bounded by a round glass table between them.
Kayden who heard clearly and saw the pair of blackish brown beads that had intimidated him, he smirked faintly before saying, “It won't be long, Gwen. I make sure of it!”
Gwen let out a wry smile, belittling Kayden's words. “We'll see later,” the wedges. “About authoritarian men!”
Kayden again grinned, ignoring his wife's insults and preferring to call the waiter to order two cups of condensed espresso.
There was no obrolon a word between them since the cafe waiter bailed to make their order. Even Gwen herself continued to throw her face out the window, seeing people passing by on the side of the city road that has the nickname The Smoke. While Kayden himself, with the highlight of his black bead he observed the movements of Gwen who was still frowning while crossing her arms and knocking at the end of her shoes.
“Sorry if I upset you,” Kayden said solemnly, opening the conversation first.
“You often piss me off!” exclaimed Gwen who turned her gaze towards Kayden. “You've always forced me to follow your wishes. Don't expect me to like you with your bad attitude!”
“I have a reason why I keep forcing you, Gwen,” Kayden said flatly as he took a sip of his espress, after the previous few seconds a waiter delivered his order. “And of course, after you hate me, over time you will like me then love me. I'm sure it is. My calculations are never wrong, are they?”
Gwen smiled cynically, then she said, “Don't be too confident.”
“I've always been confident in everything.”
“And too authoritarian.” Gwen added as Kayden watched her with a thin smile that was really annoying. “Why do you always force me?”
“Don't I ever tell you, that I will erase your past and replace it with the future, certainly with me.” Then, Kayden sighed before he continued his sentence. Arguing with his wife really made him tired. “I have to keep you awake no matter how.”
“Including forcing me to drink this espresso?”
“Of course,” answered Kayden casually without guilt.
“Just save that damn espresso, Kay!” sahut Gwen was impatient. “Just get me a pillow and I'll fall asleep right now with my head on this table.”
Kayden immediately chuckled. “Tonight we will attend an important meeting, I remind you if you forget,”. “Drink your coffee, Gwen.”
“Oh .. come on ... You start again!” Gwen was getting frustrated. “You should be able to stop that,”. “Ruling me as if I were a doll.”
Kayden's eyes narrowed, his black bead gleaming as he observed the woman for a moment. “Do you still work for me?” tanyanya.
“You mean working is am I still an employee at your company?”
Kayden nodded.
“I'm scheduled to return to the office twelve more days on Monday by Mr. David.”
“If so, stop fighting your boss!” kayden's orders. “And ignore your schedule that David.” gave you
“I'm on vacation,” Gwen reminded him.
Kayden grinned, then said, “You are, right, on her honeymoon,” she corrected rather seductively. The man watched as Gwen paled hearing his words.
Kayden smiled because he saw his wife's behavior, which he thought was funny. “And that is the truth. We're on vacation for our honeymoon.”
“Tapi—”
“Already!” kayden cut Gwen's sentence. The man then exhaled an irritated breath. But Gwen got the impression the aggravation was being shown to herself, not herself.
“Come, we go from here and return to the hotel,” said Kayden grimly.

It should be a relief to be back in such a comfortable hotel room. But unfortunately, that's not what happened. Kayden instead made Gwen watch the news on TV with him. And every time his eyes started to shut, Kayden immediately opened them with some comments that required concentration for answers.
“Gosh .. Kayden!” exclaimed Gwen then exhaled in annoyance. “What's your whole life you've never relaxed?”
“No!” Kayden answered him flat and short.
Gwen frowned as she said, “You're too busy working.”
“Indeed,” said Kayden whose eyes were still watching TV but his mind was still raging.
Gwen snorted in annoyance. “OK. Do I now have to ask your permission to go to the bathroom?” tanyanya scoffing.
“I need a shower so I can relax.”
“Please,” replied Kayden who immediately turned his gaze towards his wife. “Don't stay in the bathroom for a few more hours we'll go again.”
Gwen rolled her eyeballs lazily before she said, “Yes, I know. We'll go meet your friend.”
“Second good work relationship.” Kayden added.
Gwen did not answer, but she snorted in annoyance and got out of her soft chair. Finally, after being allowed into a relatively private bathroom, he rushed to clean his body.
After fifteen minutes had passed, Gwen walked out of the bathroom and changed clothes for dinner. It was dinner out with someone else.
As if not enough to get the ordeal that made her want to lay her body on the bed crying from distress, inevitably Gwen had to prepare herself for dinner with a large group of her husband's business associates.
“Fuck you, Kayden Kim!” he muttered while struggling to cope with the hair that refused to be neatly carried as he tried to pinch it. It takes four clasps to make her hair bun look perfect.
Almost fainted because Kayden did not give him a chance to rest on a soft mattress, Gwen's face looks red because of lack of patience when styling hair, and the woman began to fidget because of the circumstances that Kayden had forced upon her.
After Gwen spent nearly an hour beautifying herself, she stood up and looked at herself in the mirror. Her hair, which she put on neatly despite taking almost half an hour, was so perfect with her thin make-up and the dress she wore. Black chiffon night dress without long sleeves so that it shows off both shoulders smooth, really look glamour and luxurious impression attached to the slim figure.
Because Gwen was too tense, the knock from outside the bedroom door made her jump in shock. The woman grew even more anxious as she heard Kayden's long strides as the man opened the door.
Still standing, Gwen stared blankly at herself as she smeared her pink lipstick, or the way her beautiful dark brown beads revealed how helpless she really felt. The woman only saw how exhaustion made her cheeks concave and she had to try to slightly cover the dark circles around her eyes.
