Goal of my life | Kenan Yildiz

Charles

The day of my flight to Spain was approaching. What was bothering me was the fact that I hadn't seen Kenan yet, and he had come home to Turin the night before. I guess he was talking to his father, explaining our relationship to him. I sincerely hoped that this situation would not jeopardize our business relationship. Engin was of the utmost importance to me, to my father.

It was Saturday and I was at home. I stood at the counter in the kitchen, nervously flipping my second espresso like it was a shot of tequila.I also cast a glance at my phone, but Kenan never called. I remembered with sadness the last time I waited for him to call, and later saw him holding Karlotta's hand on national air. I shook off those thoughts and decided to act this time.

I dialed Kenan and listened to the signal. My stomach turned with worry and I bit my bottom lip. I heard him pick up and jumped ahead to start the conversation first.
-Kenan. What's going on, why aren't you calling? Is everything alright?
I didn't hear Kenan's voice though. It was Engin, and I could feel the coldness even through the phone.
-Sorry, but Kenan is busy right now. He won't be able to call you today. Nor tomorrow.
-What? - I nearly sobbed
-Belle, I suggest you schedule a discussion about the next collection and delivery from France for December 29th. I hope you will have finished your holiday break then? - He said coolly.
-'Yes, of course. - I swallowed audibly and confirmed. I didn't say anything at that point - the important thing to me was that business continued as usual.
-Nice! I'll send details by email. Have a nice holiday. - He said and hung up the phone.

I sighed audibly and buried my head in the couch cushion. I had so many different emotions welling up inside of me - sadness, but also genuine anger - towards Engin, but even more so towards Kenan - who was once again not standing his ground.

Once again I was left with no explanation for anything. Once again I had to come to some conclusion about the situation on my own. Maybe we just weren't meant to be together, and that's why we were haunted by situations like this.
I loved him, I was strongly attached to him, but I wasn't willing to sacrifice my life's goal for this relationship. Yes, it sounds selfish, but I want to make my father proud - just like Kenan wants to make his.

Later I saw Erica, and my idea was not to tell her anything. But she knew me so well.
-Belle, I'm sorry, but I can't believe your "nothing happened".
I rolled my eyes and sighed. I told her everything from start to finish. Every single detail.
-Babe, I'm so sorry. - She hugged me. -I told you you were too sweet and kind. People take that as a weakness and take advantage of your character. In the end, you suffer the most.

I didn't hold back and a few tears slid down my cheeks. She wiped them away, trying to comfort me, but that only made me cry harder. I was hurt. Much more than the first time. I really couldn't forgive him this time.

The Christmas holidays and the New Year passed by unnoticed. I was in the gallery again, overwhelmed with work. Fortunately this managed to keep me from collapsing. Leo was genuinely worried about me. I could feel him seeming to tread quietly around me so as not to offend or overly stress me. He treated me like I was unstable. That annoyed me, but I didn't show it as I appreciated his diligence and friendship at a time like this.

Erica also called me quite often and kept asking how I was. I really felt like a time bomb that could explode at any moment. I didn't think it would be possible to explain to anyone exactly how I was feeling. Perhaps the most accurate word was "betrayed." By the man I wanted to be my support in life - so he couldn't even stand up to his father. I didn't deserve a man like that by my side.

Spring was approaching and with that my good mood was starting to make its way. I didn't think so much about him any more, as thanks to my antisocial routine I was visiting places he didn't set foot in. I had also limited my social media scrolling as there was too much crap being written there.

One day off I made the spontaneous decision to go out shopping to update the clothes in my wardrobe. I drank an espresso per leg and strode dynamically to my favorite boutiques. I could feel the Italian lifestyle starting to overtake me and more and more, Turin felt like home now.

I walked into Loro Piana and started trying on different outfits. Apparently I was in a good mood because I liked almost everything. I stood patiently at the checkout, waiting for my clothes to be packed.

Suddenly, I and the entire staff turned a lightning glance towards the store entrance. A young man rushed in like a tornado, he was panting like he had run a marathon. I eyed him carefully as he took a breath to say something. He was young and very charming. He looked familiar to me, but I wasn't sure exactly where from.
-Mr. Leclerc. It's a pleasure to have you here. - The store security guard greeted him.
-I'm sorry if I startled you. The situation got out of hand. - He said, pointing his finger at the glass door, and outside there was a huge group of girls screaming and jumping.The last name was familiar, but from where?

He walked up to me and perhaps caught my eye. He smiled slightly and offered me his hand.-"I'm Charles.
I took his hand so we could shake. - I'm Belle. - But then he lifted it to his lips and touched them gently to my skin, piercing me with his bright eyes.
It made me blush.

Italian press: Looks like Charles is using his charm again with a new mysterious girl. The thing is that the girl is no mystery to us - she is the well known love interest  of our beloved Juve player - Kenan Yildiz. Two men for one girl? We are about to see how this triangle develops.

-------------------------------------

I hope here are some Leclerc fans as me. 😉 I decided to heat up the story even more, involving Charles in a love triangle. Hope you enjoy this as much as I do.
