Lies
Stay Together

After waiting for a week, Ian showed his class as a spy. He finds a way for Karan to be on good terms with Raya and Varen. Ian knows Varen often visits a luxury fitness center in the capital. A place that only rich people who have a lot of money come to. Not just anyone can get in there. In fact, Ian had to make a gold member card for Karan to be in the same room as Varen.

There is one thing in common between Karan and Varen. They both love the business world. The meeting made as if accidentally with Varen was sweet. They became close and began to make friends. Moreover, Varen has the ambition to set up a villa in his own name. And Karan said that he was willing to become a Varen investor as long as Karan could use some of Varen's hotels for his company's events.

Karan and Varen's close relationship affects Karan and Raya. In order to sign their cooperation contract, Varen invites Karan to have dinner at his house. Karan comes with pleasure, especially when he knows Varen will invite Raya with them.

“How do I look?” karan asked Ian as soon as he got out of the house. A smile stuck on his face. He just shaved earlier, there should be nothing wrong with his face. What made Karan doubt was his clothes. Although it was only dinner with the men he was about to destroy, but he had to appear perfect in front of the Kingdom.

Ian flabbergasted. First, because Karan heard her voice lightly as if he was asking a friend for an opinion. Second, because Karan asked her appearance.

True, usually Karan does not pay too much attention to appearance while working. Ian felt like he was working with a robot. The purpose of Karan wearing clothes is quite practical, neat suit when going to the office. Or the simplest long-sleeved batik shirt with cloth pants if you want to meet with state officials. In addition, Karan will only use T-shirts inside the house. Those were the only three colors that the man had, black, gray and white. Really rigid fashion sense.

Now, Karan looks so different. His face, which was usually overgrown with fine hair, was now completely clean. His hair also looks shiny with a neat arrangement. It seemed like this was the reason why Karan had Ian call the hairdresser home. Apparently to make the appearance of the CEO look perfect in front of Raya.

“You look amazing, Sir,” praise Ian honestly. Not just a small talk to please Karan, but the compliment is true. Even if she was a woman, she would have said how handsome Karan was right now.

“Really?” Karan looked dissatisfied. He lowered his face, trying to inhale the scent of the perfume he had sprayed. “It looks like it is quite fragrant,” comments again after finding the musk scent on his clothes. I really like that smell. At least that's what Karan knows from the spy that Ian tells him to follow the woman every day. “Then let's go!” add the man.

A smile continued to crack on Karan's face. He was pounding, his breathing was even stingy. After 12 years, he finally met again with Raya. This time with a different look. In a different position. Karan was no longer a poor young man with shameful shabby clothes. Now Karan is a rich businessman who can buy anything for Raya, including the heart of the woman.

Unfortunately, that smile soon fades when Karan meets Raya and Varen. More precisely when he heard the reality that made his world seem to stop spinning suddenly.

“What? You guys live together?” Karan gasps, trying to suppress his growing anger and jealousy. He looked at the couple across the table. Giving a sharp spotlight such a deep sign of hatred.

Varen smiled as he embraced Raya. “Yes, for a while. Because I can't leave Raya alone in her house. Mama is going out of town to see her friend.”

“Mama?” Karan said with shock. Now even Varen calls Mama Raya? Goddamn bum! Although the person is not the biological mother of Raya, but the sister of her biological mother, but Raya already considers her as a mother. At least in front of the camera because Raya always treated her aunt so well.

“Ah, I mean her mother Kingdom. Sorry to confuse you because I often call her Mama,” explained Varen.

“I'm really curious how did you guys meet? Who falls in love first?” karan asked seamlessly while hiding his veiled intentions. Karan knew the reason Raya had approached the other men all along. He likes luxury and fame. To achieve that, he was willing to do everything including bragging about love to many men. Raya knows which is the best quality luxury car driven by a man. He's good at sniffing the scent of rich men.

What happened to Varen? What makes Varen so special that Raya is considering a serious relationship to the stage of the engagement? Reportedly, their marriage will last one more month. It was impossible for Raya to be satisfied with a man whose wealth was far below Karan's. It is impossible for Raya to fall in love with Varen. Yes, it is impossible because Karan is the only man who has the right to receive sincere love from Raya. Which then the man will smash to pieces.

“We met in New York. While attending New York Fashion Week and Raya as one of the performers there. You know, Raya is so pretty wearing that red dress. I can't even forget it until now,” said Varen so proudly.

Did Varen just explain how the beauty of Raya wrapped in a red dress with a chest and thigh cut was so minimal at that time? How did Raya roll on the black carpet in front of thousands of people? Karan's lips tighten. He hates when other men think of his woman.

“Sial!” swearing Karan suddenly. Then he gasped when he found out his mouth was talking without his control. See that, both Varen and Raya look very surprised to hear the swearing.

“Ah, sorry.” Karan quickly corrected his words. “I mean, I feel bad for not being able to attend the show. It's possible that I can see the beauty of Kingdom as you mentioned.”

Karan squeezed his hand under the table. If only he did not remember having to avenge in a subtle way, it was certain that he would throw a fork in his hand at Varen's eyeball which had been presumptuous to look at Raya with an adoring gaze. He really wanted to separate the two as quickly as possible.

However, Karan tried to remain calm. The frustration does not want to escape from him. If Ian saw Karan's face now, the man would definitely go berserk. Why did Karan who had prepared his meeting with Raya for dozens of years, become so out of control of his emotions just because a speech made Ian definitely not understand.

The change in the dining room was uncomfortable. Karan drinks the water in his glass to the toilet. It must be really bad if he opens the sound now.

“Yes, I've heard it a lot,” said Varen suddenly. Although a little surprised to hear Karan's words to his lover, but Varen can understand this. Karan who he knew from the media always praised the women who were around him in any way. Raya is just one of them. It was possible that Karan was showing his hospitality to the woman, but in a somewhat different and slightly outspoken way.

Karan displays a faint smile on his lips to cover up any real evidence of his anger towards Varen. “You're a very lucky guy to get a super model like Raya,” Karan said.

This time Karan's gaze moved to Raya's face. A sweet smile was imprinted on Raya's pink lips.

Oh, my God, those lips! Karan almost cursed again. His blood rippled as his brown eyeballs stared at Kingdom's lips. More beautiful than the one on the glass screen. More tempting than he had seen from the sheet photos sent by his men. Karan is sure that the lips will be more perfect if they come into contact with his lips.

Damnit damnit! Karan wishes he could kiss Raya now. He knows it's crazy, but he can't help it anymore. Had Varen not been there, Karan would have moved to the side of Raya and kissed her lips wildly.
