"I'll make sure to marry your daughter, uncle. But your other daughter...!"
Dominic's voice shocked everything in the magnificent living room.
Everyone looked at Dominic. The five people who were conversing in a happy atmosphere instantly fell silent. Dominic didn't come alone. He was with Kelly.
While Kelly was no less surprised when he saw it turns out Dominic's parents' mansion there is Felix, Lory and Diane too. Kelly's body was a little shaky.
Just moments ago, Dominic and Kelly were enjoying a romantic dinner after they got engaged which only the two of them knew. Suddenly Dominic gets a call from his father's assistant asking Dominic to come to his parents' mansion right now.
At first Kelly refused when Dominic asked her. Kelly is not ready to meet Dominic's parents, he is still reminded of the cynical face of Dominic's mother when she met him this afternoon at Dominic's office. But Dominic said he told his parents about their engagement. And finally Kelly's emboldened herself to go with Dominic now.
*
Everyone looked at Dominic. Of course not only see Dominic but look at Kelly also with a shocked look. A different shocker.
Felix really couldn't cover up his shock at seeing who was with Dominic. "Kellya?", he said slowly. The look on Felix's face changed. The man fell silent while leaning his back. He stared at how Dominic clasped his daughter's hand tightly.
While Lory and Diane immediately changed their sitting position. It was clear that the face did not like the two of them to see the scene in front of their eyes. Diane and Lory unceasingly cuss Kelly who dares to show herself like that before them.
Lily and Gerard.
When she sees her son coming with Kelly, Lily still gives Kelly a cynical and hateful look like when she meets at Dominic's office.
While Gerard looked at Kelly with an unblinking gaze, he fell silent on his seat while his eyes fixed on Kelly's face. "Lorencia?", he murmured.
Lily who heard her husband's words immediately looked at Gerard with a look of dislike.
"Domi, what do you mean? Coming here with this girl?", Lily was not friendly.
Dominic took Kelly to sit in front of his parents and on Felix's right side. Dominic smiled fondly at Kelly, he continued to hold tightly to his lover's hand. Dominic wants to keep Kelly calm. And sure enough, Dominic's actions turned out to be powerful, Kelly really felt calm when all eyes were on him. He felt ordinary, no more fear. Especially before they reached this mansion, Dominic gave an explanation about his parents.
"As you can see. I came with my girlfriend Kelly. Kelly and I have been lovers for the past five months. And today I officially proposed to her. We plan to get married after Kelly graduates later" Dominic said with certainty.
Dominic's answer to Lily's question surprised everyone. Felix is seen nodding his head while rubbing his chin, while Lory and Diane are shocked not dumbstruck.
"Dominic, you can't. You've been betrothed to me. I will be your wife" said Diane.
Dominic who was challenged like that, for the first time to finish his sharp gaze like he was about to hit Diane's heart which made her more disgusted.
"Since when did I accept you to be my future wife, Diane. It's just your wish. I did meet you first, but we're not meant to be together! Accept that fact, Diane!", Dominic said firmly.
Looks like Felix massaged his forehead. He thought for a moment and looked at Kelly.
Gerard is seen rubbing his chin.
Lily and Lory clucked in annoyance at Dominic's sniffy answer.
"What's more this poor girl than me, Dominic. She's just a lowly girl unlike me" Diane exclaimed.
Dominic, who was sitting with his legs crossed while leaning his back, smiled at Diane's words. "My lover's exaggeration is one of them, he will never look down on anyone else's appeal" Dominic replied casually. Dominic pulls Kelly's fingers. Takes the taut fingers to his lips. Smear it gently.
Suddenly Dominic's actions further provoke Diane's emotions. "You're gonna regret DOMINIC! And you.I hate you so much!!", cried Diane pointed at Kelly's face.
Suddenly Diane pulled Kelly's hand. "What is this?", she cried, staring at the diamond-studded white gold ring that was in a circle on Kelly's ring finger.
Kelly quickly pulled her hand from Diane's.
"Dad?!"
Diane looked at Felix, as if asking for help.
Felix breathed his breath.
"I'm sorry. This time I can't help you".
Hearing Felix's reply made Lory stand up. "What do you mean Felix? So now you're more supportive of your daughter and that crazy woman, huh?"
"Who are you saying is crazy?", Ketus Felix was already visibly annoyed by his wife's attitude.
"Lorencia, who else", ketus Lory emotions.
"My mom's not crazy. You don't make it up. You made my mother die. It was you and this man that made my mother sick. You're a snake woman with no heart!", Kelly replied loudly. It had been a long time since he had waited for a moment like this to convey his uneg-uneg. He doesn't care if Dominic's parents hate his attitude. For Kelly it's the most important recent business right now his feelings are satisfied to be able to answer Lory's insults to his dead mother.
"You..."
Lory and Diane couldn't believe what she had just heard. Both of them did not expect now Kelly had dared to fight them.
Dominic clutches Kelly's hand. He was glad that his lover dared to fight and express his opinion in front of everyone.
While Gerard smiles at Kelly's bravery in the oppressed moment the girl quickly defends herself. "Tough girl", inner Gerard.
Lily could not speak anymore. But his heart was very hot to the crown of his head.
You better go home, I still have business with Gerard and Dominic", Felix orders Lory and Diane.
"No. You come home with us too, Felix!"
"Stop fighting me Lory. Or you will regret it", Felix exclaimed firmly. Highlight stared at Lory.
"Huh..Let's go Diane. Let your daddy be with his pathetic daughter".
"But mom.... Dominic can't marry Kelly. She's mine!", cried Diane away as her hand pulled Lory hard enough.
After Lory and Diane leave, Lily prefers to go into her room. Upset to see Dominic preferring Kelly over Diane.
Lily came to light a few years ago, when she found a photograph in her husband's agenda book. He knows very well who that woman is. Lorencian. Lily knew that Gerard harbored deep feelings for Lorencia. But Lorencia prefers Felix. Actually, they're pretty good friends. Until their friendship was tenuous because Felix cornered the girl Gerard liked. Lorencia.
Of course Lily wouldn't approve of Dominic's choice. He would never support the Lorencian lineage being part of his family. It will never!!
