“After I become a strong man, I will come see you back no matter what!”
When he was 5 years old, before he came to this hellish place, he made a promise with a little girl that he had a crush.
His childhood friend.
His childhood sweetheart.
His little fairy.
24 years have passed since that day.
A lot had happened for him to come to where he is now.
Everything had ended and all his enemies had completely been eliminated.
Now, he can focus on finding his little fairy.
Behind his desk, the stack of information that his assistant prepared was flipped through by him.
After one last look at a photograph of his little fairy that had grown up into a beautiful woman, he pressed on his line, “Khalil, come in.”
A few moments later, a man wearing a spectacle entered, “You have called me Mister King.”
“Is this all?” He asked.
Understanding what his boss is asking, Khalil replied, “Yes, Mister King. That is all that we get after our man investigates.”
“Hm.” But looking at the photograph, he felt something was not right. He picked up the photograph and showed it to Khalil, “Find her picture when she was 5 years old. Investigate more and fast.”
“Yes sir.” Khalil answered. When he assured that there were no other orders, he then inform about another matter, “By the way sir, we just received a wedding invitation for the Miller’s family youngest daughter with Brown’s family eldest son. Do sir want to attend?”
Khalil then handed over the invitation.
After a few seconds looking at the invitation, he replied, “Attend. Make the arrangement.”
King Establishment Group.
This group started as a middle-leveled enterprise but evolved to a multinational corporation after the group was taken over by a new leader.
Dhafi King.
Known as a person that is hard to get along with, his character was unpredictable.
A company that can get a connection with this group will get a great benefit.
Many have tried to invite the man into their circle but always be rejected by the person of interest.
So, when the Miller’s family sent an invitation for their youngest daughter’s wedding, they did not have any expectations.
Inside a boutique for wedding dresses, the Miller’s family youngest daughter, Elvina Miller was finalizing her wedding dress.
Together with her is her mother, Liliana Miller.
This was Elvina's most favorite brand.
Inside the changing room, she was being helped by a few assistants, whether helping adjusting the skirt or helping adjusting the waistline of the dress.
Looking at the mirror, she asked her mother, “How do I look mom?”
Looking at her daughter with eyes full of love, Liliana smiles, “My daughter is always beautiful.”
Approaching her daughter, she stroked her daughter’s head lovingly. But, the moment she held her daughter’s right hand, she frowned with a sad look.
Knowing why her mother looked like that, she patted her mother’s hand that was holding her’s, “Mom… Don’t be sad. It was already in the past.” Elvina comforted her mother.
“You are too kind.” Liliana sighed while shaking her head in distress. “If it wasn't for that evil girl, you would be still painting right now. And you still took her to be treated.”
Elvina chuckled and hugged her mother, “I still can hug you right. Don’t think about it anymore. After this let us go to your favorite’s restaurant for lunch.” she said, coaxing her mother.
“Alright.” Liliana caresses her daughter's cheek one last time before she lets her daughter change her clothes back.
Looking at her daughter walking away, she still cannot stop herself from thinking about the incident that happened seven years ago.
Her daughter was a talent in painting and her future in it was bright.
Everything was smooth until that girl came into their life again.
To be exact, in her daughter’s life.
Even after her future had been destroyed, her daughter still wanted to help that girl.
‘El is too kind.’ Liliana said. If it was her, she would send her to rot in the prison.
After finishing up, both daughter and mother went out for lunch at their favorite’s restaurant.
“I heard that your elder brother is trying to get a connection with the King Establishment Group.” Liliana said to her daughter while they were waiting for the food they ordered. “He even sent your wedding invitation card to them.”
Elvina only shrugged her shoulders, “There is no harm in trying, beside, Ina is more than pleased to help brother.” She then linked her arms around her mother's arm, “I heard brother said that Mr. King recently bought all of my paintings so he taught, ‘why not’.”
“You mean that Mr. King is your fan?” Liliana asked.
Elvina nodded, “Probably. Who knows, maybe he will attend my wedding.” she said.
‘sigh’, Liliana sighed while patting Elvina’s hand, “Talking about painting always breaks my heart.”
“Oh, mom, don’t think about it anymore, it is in the past now. I still live happily right? I even found my partner and am going to be married soon.” Elvina tried to coax her mother.
At that moment, Elvina’s phone rings. Looking at the caller, it was her aunt, Luana. “Aunt is calling me.” She answered the call, “Aunt! I am having lunch with mom. Yes, at the usual place. Ok, we will wait for you.”
“Aunt Luana is coming here and asked us to wait for her..” Elvina informed her mother. “She is just around the area.”
“Let us not speak about it anymore. She already suffered. She already got her comeuppance for hurting me. Just think about my wedding ok mom. Don’t spoil your appetite.” Seeing that her mother is still thinking about the past, Elvina coaxes her mother again.
Liliana sighed, “Alright.” She said, “Let us not talk about it.”
