Small Demand And Kayden Plan
'Kayden Kim married Gwen Sandriana Decker, after Rainer Kim left her at the wedding altar to marry Valerie Gibson!' That is how some of the contents of the article that contains a lie for the sake of an interesting title.
“That means, Rainer planned to leave me long before he bothered to tell me that he didn't want me,” muttered Gwen inwardly who then smiled bitterly.
The content of the article is actually long. However, Kayden who happened to walk into the kitchen after the man had previously searched for Gwen in his room, he immediately snatched the rough of the newspaper from Gwen's hands.
The rampage he vented to Uncle Robbert for bringing the newspaper home was enough to make the middle-aged man turn pale, then pass from the kitchen. And while Gwen was just sitting there, she shuddered in disgust when she realized how terrible Rainer's trickery was.
“Why can journalists know and report?” gwen asked Kayden, dragging her mind off the incident that almost freed her from the shock that left her numb.
“I'm sorry,” pinta Kayden in earnest. “Maybe one of the reporters was following Rainer so my sister didn't notice. Rainer is not careful in doing his actions.”
“Gosh ... What if my uncle and aunt found out about this?” Gwen asked in frustration as she stood up from her seat and looked at Kayden in the face.
“I make sure the newspaper does not reach your uncle and aunt.” Kayden tried to convince Gwen. “After I read this morning, I sent one of my men to go to your uncle and aunt's house immediately, and also take them on vacation to China at that time by boarding my private jet.”
“Did my uncle and aunt read the paper this morning?”
“No,” says Kayden sure. “According to my men, when he was standing in front of the door of your uncle and aunt to knock on the door, he saw that this newspaper was still on the front porch. So he immediately took it and hid the newspaper.”
Gwen, who heard the words from Kayden, finally breathed a sigh of relief. The woman could not imagine, I don't know what would happen if her uncle and aunt read the cursed article.
“You just calm down. Before my men got to your uncle and aunt's house, this morning I called your uncle and forced him to leave for China that morning without having to wait for tomorrow.” Kayden then sighed before continuing his sentence, “At first it was not easy to convince your uncle. But, after I tried once again to convince him, that I would take care of their beloved niece with all my heart and I made sure that her dear niece's condition was safe as long as I was with her, only then did your uncle agree.”
Gwen was still silent. He just looked at Kayden's face that looked handsome and calm. The woman did not deny that Kim's sisters were indeed so handsome. But one thing now made Gwen realize, that Kayden's decision was always right to make a decision in any case, contrary to Rainer who hastily decided something without thinking long enough to cause chaos.
“Thanks, Mr. Kayden,” says Gwen. He tried to dare to say that sentence.
“If you want to thank me, can you just call my name without a prefix, Mister?” Kayden asked him earnestly. “My ears are a bit itchy if you listen to the sentence, Mr. Kayden's. I don't know, like there's a thick-bodied caterpillar walking in my hand.”
Gwen who listened to him immediately smiled.
And Kayden himself, he also smiled widely. It was a rare sight because of something Gwen had never seen before the man did. Kayden's smile changed her judgment, that her now-official boss was not the cold and haughty man most people judged her to be.
As if there was no answer from Gwen, Kayden repeated his question again, “How, can you accept my small request?”
“I ..” Gwen bit her lower lip. “Will try it, Mister ..” He then shook his head to correct his wrong sentence. “I mean, Ka-Kayden. Yes, Kayden.” With her heart racing, Gwen finally ventured and complied with a small request from her husband.
Gwen nodded her head in response.
“And another one, I ask you to stop speaking formally to me. Can you do it?”
“Hemm ... I'll try.” Gwen replied hesitantly. “Alright, I'll shower first.” He tried to shift the subject between them, as it made Gwen awkward.
“OK, please,” replied Kayden. “Oya, your suitcase containing some of your clothes is already in our room.”
Gwen frowned in confusion. “Kita?”
“Yes, our room. The bed you occupied last night was once my room. Since now my status has changed to that of a married man, so I can't say my room anymore, can I?” Kayden explained. “And now, as my wife you have the rights to all the contents of this house including our bedroom.”
“Oh,” replied Gwen flat without interest. He would rather pass by leaving Kayden alone in the kitchen to go to the bathroom in Kayden's room. More precisely the room that changed status into the room of a couple.
Kayden who saw Gwen's back pass left her, immediately the man pulled the corner of his lips upwards. “The first step has worked. Gwen has already called my name. The next step, I should be able to remove Rainer's shadow from his mind.”
***
Fifteen minutes after Gwen cleaned her body, she came out of the bathroom wearing a light blue knee-length casual dress, after she had taken it from her suitcase. Gwen then stood in front of the mirror to comb her hair.
However, Gwen suddenly recalled Rainer back as she stared at his face in the reflection of the mirror. He felt as if he was staring at a completely foreign person. A woman with big, empty brown eyes is a different person.
Even the only one he knew, who said that it was really him standing there, was a fine gold chain around his neck with a heart-shaped pendant hanging on the chain, and contains a photo of the face of his parents who he loved and missed.
His cold and trembling fingers touched the pendant gently. Tears fell soaking his smooth cheeks and blurred the figure reflected in the mirror.
“Why cry?”
A little surprised, Gwen blinked away her tears. His lentic eyelashes trembled as he focused his gaze on Kayden's serious face in the mirror.
“No, I'm not crying. My eyes only hurt by the soap earlier,” let Gwen cover it.
“Are you sure it's just that?” Kayden asked full of sniffling as he furrowed his two eyebrows that were almost fused together.
“Ya, that's it,” says Gwen. He quickly wiped the rest of his tears that had flowed.
