"Kelvin..." Luliyah looked at Kelvin in panic. She really didn't want to return with her father. Luliyah knew that she would not be treated well if she went back to her the Parker Family house.
Maybe her father would beat her up like the way he beat Natali...
Maybe Mona would also beat her when she returns back there.
Kelvin's face stiffened when he heard Martins's words. His forehead creased, showing his dislike for the man in front of him. Meanwhile, his hand stroked Luliyah's back gently and said, "Nothing can take you away from me."
Martins was very upset. He had lowered his pride by apologizing to Kelvin in person, even though the man was younger than him. But Kelvin didn't want to forgive him.
He told Natali to kneel down, admit her mistakes and apologize. In fact, he was willing to allow his daughter get punished by anything to assuage Kelvin's anger. But Kelvin didn't forgive him either.
"Kelvin, Luliyah is my daughter. You have no right to interfere in my business with my daughter." Martins said with a challenging face. He was really determined to take Luliyah away from Kelvin.
"I'm grown. I'm responsible for my own actions. You never carried out your duties as a father. You have no right to suddenly come and take me." Luliyah shouted. She didn't want to go back with her father.
"Luliyah, Your mother will surely be ashamed to see you behave like this. How can you live in the house of a man you do not know?" Martins shouted as he stepped forward and stretched out his hand to grab Luliyah, "Come with me."
Kelvin stared at Martins sharply. Martins didn't care about the look on Kelvin's face. He was felt he was blind and couldn't see. He remained determined to take Luliyah home, even if it was by force. Luliyah's eyes widened when she saw her father's hand. She was really afraid of going with her father, so she hid behind Kelvin's body.
Kelvin's hand immediately grabbed Martins's hand before he could reach Luliyah. Martins was very surprised to see that.
'Isn't he blind?' Martins was shocked as he asked himself.
Not only did Kelvin prevent Martins's hand from reaching Luliyah, he twisted his hand.
KRAK KRAK
Kelvin just broke Martins's hand.
"Ahh.. It hurts!!" Martins wailed in pain.
Natali could hear Martins's scream from the outside of the house. She just covered her ears and didn't want to interfere in Kelvin's business anymore. Kelvin is cruel and cruelty is his specialty. The man didn't care who the opponent was, man or woman, young or old. He treated all of them cruelly.
After breaking his hand, Kelvin pushed Martins to the floor. His hands immediately grabbed Luliyah's body and hugged her tightly. His sharp gaze was still fixed on Martins who was lying on the floor helpless.
"Luliyah is my lover. Nobody can take her away from me!"
Martins gritted his teeth and bit his lower lip. His hand turned white from the broken fracture. He spoke again, "Kelvin, I know Luliyah is your lover. Luliyah still hasn't gradated from the University. She can't stay in this house everyday"
Kelvin just stared at Martins coldly, "Luliyah is my lover. It is befitting for her to stay with me."
Martins's eyes turned to Luliyah and saw his daughter in Kelvin's arms. Kelvin looked after her and protectively shielded her. He didn't need to guess the relationship the two of them had. With just a look, everyone would know that they are lovers.
He knew that Kelvin's feelings for Luliyah was not just love for monkey. It was genuine.
"Kelvin, I realized that I didn't really pay attention to Luliyah. Her mother is such a tough person that after we divorced, I didn't get the permission to contact Luliyah. As her father, I'm deeply saddened. No parent want to be separated from their children." Martins said.
Seeing the relationship between Kelvin and Luliyah, he realized that he could use his fatherhood to benefit. He must assert that Luliyah is part of Parker Family.
"I really care about my daughter. Right now, her mother is sick. If I don't care and take care of her, who else will do it?" Martins pitifully said, impersonating the image of a father who really loves his daughter.
Indeed, Martins and Natali were both alike. Their acting and pretense.
Kelvin just snorted at Martins's thoughtful words, "You better educate your other daughter. You never even fulfilled your duty as a father before, what right do you have to interfere in Luliyah's life now? Luliyah is an adult and can make her own decisions. Get out of my house this minute, Mr Martins."
Hearing Kelvin's words, Martins got very angry. He felt his pride as a father was trampled. Luliyah is his daughter. What right did Kelvin have to stay live with his daughter?
"Luliyah, at least if you want to live with Kelvin, you have to marry him." At this moment, Martins was already sweating profusely. The pain he felt in his hand made his face pale.
Kelvin's eyes was on Martins, looking down at him, "You want to take her home just to use her as a tool to earn money. Luliyah is really unlucky to have a father like you."
"No, Dad really cares about you, Luliyah. Father will never use you." Martins tried to explain. He wanted to melt Luliyah's heart and make her believe in him. But Kelvin was a great wall blocking her from her surrendering herself.
Kelvin gritted his teeth, looking like he couldn't wait anymore to face this helpless man, "Hurry and get rid of him." Kelvin shouted at his guards.
"Luliyah... If you don't want to come home with me today, don't cry and come to me one day. I won't accept you even if you beg." Martins said one last time as he angrily looked at Luliyah. After that, he turned around and left. He did not want to be forcibly dragged out from the house by Kelvin's guards.
After Martins left the house, Kelvin calmed down a little. But, the resentment he felt was still there. It made the atmosphere in the room still tense.
Mrs Binta immediately approached Luliyah to calm her down, "Luliyah, are you okay?" Luliyah could only nod. Her face looked sad because of the incident.
"He's lucky, Master still forgave him today. If Master didn't have mercy on him, he wouldn't only have his hand broken." Mrs Binta said. She was extremely baffled by the scene. How could there be a father like Martins in this world?
Luliyah was stunned for a moment when she heard Mrs Binta's words. Kelvin forgave her father, that was why he only went home with a broken arm. All because Kelvin was still merciful?
If Kelvin was not merciful, what would happen to her father and Natali?
