Gwen begins to feel a bit of pity for Rainer because she is right, and Gwen can't even lie saying it's not true. Rainer Kim is seen as one of the weaker Kim family—men who are easy to get along with, but does not cause admiration to everyone he meets.
“And the only person,” Rainer continued, “which I think definitely cares more about me than my sister is Valerie. She's mine.” His voice was rattled by a sense of ownership. “She's been mine since we first met at a silly teen party in her teens. When Valerie looked at me,” she said hoarsely, “she did not see anyone other than myself. But unfortunately it did not end long,” he added. “in the end, Valerie also betrayed me by liking Kayden.” He smiled cynically. “What a silly thing, right?”
Gwen's feelings seemed to be squeezed by a poignant explanation because no matter what Rainer had done to her. He could understand what betrayal meant and how painful it was.
“And Kayden certainly never looked at Valerie or glanced at her. His heart is as hard as a rock. His heart is also not easily touched by the name of a single woman.”
Gwen's head flinched, her eyes widening in disbelief towards Rainer's nape.
“Actually, my innocent brother didn't want to do that to me.” Rainer confessed without understanding what Gwen was thinking. “I'm used to blaming Kayden for every failure in my life. But I was so stupid that I didn't think Kayden was the only person who really loved me. I really care about me and my feelings. He also never betrayed me.”
Gwen remained silent. He was a little interested in listening to the Kim brothers' past stories because it turns out Rainer views his brother as a noble-hearted knight.
“But before I had time to realize all this, you showed up,”. “With you, I saw an opportunity to make Kayden hurt like I was sure he had hurt me. And I'm sorry, Gwen.” Rainer turned towards Gwen. “But I did it without thinking about how my actions would hurt you.” He sighed. “ until it was finally too late to do anything.”
“I?” Gwen frowned in confusion, completely clueless as to the direction of this conversation. “But why do you think I can give you the strength to hurt Kayden?”
Rainer frowned, as if he was astonished by his ex's question. “We can all see it, Gwen,” he said, as if it made things clearer. “When we bumped into you, dozens of pairs of eyes included me,” his fingers. “we all stood there and were stunned to have witnessed the great leader Kim Corporation—lelaki who was adored by all the women who knew him, and who were so impressed by his death, have fallen in love with a secretary who has only been working for a few months and looks ordinary.”
Rainer smiled grimly, while Gwen slowly rose to her feet as Rainer's harrowing plan of vengeance against her brother began to form in her head.
“You mean …? Gwen had to stop to gulp, having trouble pushing her words past the anger that began to throb in her. “You mean, you chose me and made me fall in love with you just because you were sure, that you stole something Kayden wanted for himself?”
Rainer did not answer, because he felt everything was very lazy now. The man had taken advantage of Gwen, toyed with her feelings, and calmly extended the entire play until their wedding day before deciding to stop her. At that time, Rainer did the crazy thing because he was sure he would be able to defeat Kayden.
Gwen who felt Rainer's silence was the truth answer to her question, she was inflamed. “You mean bastard! You're using me.”
“Sorry, Gwen,” Rainer said grimly. “Really, I'm sorry ..”
Gwen smiled wryly. “You know? I feel myself now a stuffed toy of your sister—”
“That's not true!” Rainer denied it quickly. “Kay loves you so much, Gwen! The whole executive room was excited by the news that he had scolded the HRD, and then Kayden apologized to you so he could figure out who you were without being too obvious! A ridiculous attitude never before made by the leader of Kim Corporation to all the employees who work for him.”
The statement from Rainer was enough to make Gwen's legs wobble. He threw himself on the chair as he began to stagger with hope. “But what about the lady earlier?” tanyanya.
Rainer cringing. However, in his heart he knew where Gwen's question was headed because he already knew from Kayden who had previously contacted him first.
“If the woman you were referring to was Ava,” her jade when she found Gwen's face jerking, highlighting her eyeballs from a distance. “You don't have to worry. Ava Blair was our cousin because her mother, Aunt Alin Kim, was our father's half-sister. They were both very close since childhood. But when Kayden was ten and Ava was seven years old, Ava's father's Uncle Alberto Blair had to bring Aunt Alin and Ava to Russia. Uncle Alberto was appointed by the head of the company himself to be the head of the branch in the country until this very moment. Yes .. of course it makes it very easy because Uncle Alberto is indeed Russian.”
Gwen flinch, listening carefully to Rainer's story about the Kim family. In the past, when he was with Rainer, the man never once told his family. And now she realized, as she remembered during her marriage to Kayden, her husband had only told her some of his family.
“Ava really loves Kayden as an older brother figure that he can rely on,” Rainer explained. “Before, before you entered my life and Kayden, many thought Ava was Kayden's lover.” He immediately smiled faintly considering the events of a few years ago. “Because Ava always acts spoiled to him and dresses sexy when it comes to the office, to the point that her husband himself is made jealous by Ava's attitude that I think is childish.”
Gwen's eyes widened in shock. “So Ava is married?”
“Ya,” replied Rainer firmly. “She got married four years ago and now has a cute beautiful daughter aged two.” He pulled both corners of his lips upwards remembering the adorable nephew.
Gwen frowned. “But as long as I worked at Kim's company, I never saw Ava coming to the office?”
“Of course you don't see it because Ava only comes to Indonesia once a year from Russia—where she lives with her beloved husband and their daughter who became his world—”
“Wait, Rai,” Gwen cuts off Rainer's unresolved sentence. “Why Ava only comes once a year to Indonesia?”
“To wish you a happy birthday,” says Rainer casually.
Gwen's forehead creased deeply, not understanding Rainer's words. “Actually what do you mean?”
“I mean Ava came all the way from Russia by seducing Jimmy first for her husband to agree and leave Jiva, their daughter to Aunt Alin only to wish Kayden a happy birthday.”
Gwen was so surprised that her eyes became even wider. “So, today is Kayden's birthday?”
“Ya.”
