“Oh my God! You ordered from MacDonald?” Kiara asked as she arranged the meal on the dining.Stan only nodded his head and walked to sit down, directly opposite her.“I craved for McDonald’s today, and I’m glad you were able to get me what I wanted to eat”, Kiara said as she walked to Stan and placed a kiss on his cheeks.“Thank you babe”, she added and walked back to her seat.“It’s fine! Can we just eat without talking so much?” Stan asked as he picked up the hamburger and munched on it.“This is good!” Kiara exclaimed as she stared at Stan, whose mind seemed to be far away.“Stan?” She called out as she dropped her burger and gave him a stern gaze.“What is it, Kiara?” Stan questioned as he dropped the burger and peered into her eyes.“Something is off with you and I don’t seem to like it”, Kiara said as she folded her hands to her chest while wearing a frown.Stan stayed mute and focused his attention on the food on his table. He was exhausted, and Kiara’s presence seemed to worse
Ethan sat on the chair in his office as he rolled on it while smiling in satisfaction. He had just struck a massive deal with a company and the account of his company was booming with money. “Can I come in, sir?” He heard a voice outside the door and almost immediately, his door opened and someone barged in.“I didn’t say that you could come in!” Ethan barked angrily as the secretary walked into the office with her head lowered to the ground.“I’m so sorry sir, I couldn’t stop him from coming in”, she said apologetically while Ethan gestured for her to leave the office.“You should apologize for barging into my office that way. I’ve told you severally, if you want to meet me, then do it responsibly”, Ethan said sternly while Wilson smirked and broke into loud laughter.Wilson was a friend of Ethan and the direct assistant to Ethan’s father. They had gotten separated after Ethan and his family moved into another city. However, luck shone on them the moment they realized that they had
“Are you still here with me?” Wilson asked as he tapped the desk, making Ethan to jerk up. He had been lost in thoughts that for a moment, he forgot that Wilson was sitting right at his front.“What is the problem Wilson, I’m certain you know that my father asked me to marry just to satisfy the society. What else would be the reason?” Ethan asked tiredly as he glared at Wilson, who shifted his gaze to the newspaper.Ethan let out a sigh of frustration and picked up the newspaper.He jerked up immediately the moment his eyes caught something on the headline.“Popular billionaire “Thompson Hopper” said to have another son and heir”, the headline read, causing Ethan to freeze in shock.“What the hell!” He mouthed as sweats broke out on his forehead.Wilson chuckled and glared at him intently, watching how he suddenly became restless at the sight of a headline.“This isn’t true, is it?” He asked angrily and flung the newspaper away, panting heavily and jerking to his feet.All his life,
“Hey Dad!” Kiara yelped excitedly as she pulled her father into a warm hug.Stan stood by the corner as he watched the father and daughter moments that didn’t seem to please him.His mind was encircled on Carissa and with each minute that passed, the thoughts of her became worse.He had thought that she would wait for him a little longer, just for some more time. He needed to lay his hands on a huge amount of money, and that would have never happened if he didn’t do what he did.For the first time since the day he walked away from Carissa, he felt a sting of regret.“Babe!” Kiara called out as she gestured for him to walk closer.Stan slowly trudged towards them, flashing a widesmile on his face and trying so hard to pretend.“You appeared quite odd a minute ago, is everything okay?” Mr. White asked with a slight frown on his face.“Yes sir, I’m great”, Stan replied and smiled again, with Kiara clinging to him as though she were a baby.“We should go in, dinner is served”, Mr. white
“Have some water”, Kiara said as she stretched a cup of water towards Stan, who was coughing and gasping for air.He couldn’t tell what caused that, but he could swear that the question and the look in Mr. White’s eyes was terrifying.“I’m good”, he murmured, and returned his gaze to meet that of Mr. white.“I didn’t hear your last question, sir”, Stan lied as he stared at him.“Kiara!” Mr. white suddenly called out as he shifted his gaze to his daughter.She jerked up and lifted her head, smiling at him widely while patting Stan’s back calmly.“I want you to look into his eyes and tell him when you want to get married”, Mr. White ordered as the dining hall turned dead silent.“What?” Kiara asked as she chuckled and broke into loud laughter.She stopped laughing when she saw the expression on her father’s face.His eyelids were squinted and raised, and his eyes bulged out as though he were enraged. The corners of his mouth pointed downwards, and his jaws were tensed.“Dad!” Kiara call
“Next six months?” Stan screamed on top of his voice, causing Kiara and her father to turn a sharp gaze at him.“I’m sorry, I was just quite surprised”, he said and chuckled nervously.“I understand that it’s too far, but at this point, we should work with what she has chosen”, Mr. white said as he continued munching on the chicken wings he had on the plate.“Eat your food”, Kiara whispered and nudged on Stan, whose attention was far away from them.“I should go out and get some air”, he excused himself and walked out of the dining hall, with Kiara exchanging glances with her father.“Do you think I said something wrong?” Kiara asked her father, with a gigantic frown on her face.She dropped her fork on the plate and folded her hands to her chest, clearly disturbed by how Stan had reacted.“He is fine, perhaps he needed some air like he said”, he said calmly and gestured on her to move further with her meal.“What if he leaves me like the others?” Kiara asked as tears welled up in her
Ethan barged into his father’s company with a giant scowl on his face. His face was red with anger and his blood boiled in rage. He ignored the greetings of the employees around as all he was concerned with was meeting his father to drop a piece of his mind.“I’m sorry sir, you can’t go in at the moment. Your father is with some people, very important”, a man who was clad in a suit said as he stood at Ethan’s front.Ethan scoffed as he clenched his fists in anger. He shot the man a dead glare in a bid to let him know that he was in for no joke.“Are you standing on my way?” Ethan asked as he took slow steps toward him.“I’m only following order's sir”, the man said, with his head lowered to the ground.“To hell with orders!” Ethan said defiantly as he flung his fists towards his face, causing him to let out a slight cry of pain.The man held his cheeks and glared at Ethan, who had no glimpse of remorse in his expression.“I’m sorry, I still can’t let you in”, the man said again, stan
Everyone was in awe as they watched Ethan, who showcased his inappropriate behavior in the public. None of the reporters present believed that Mr. Philip’s son was as aggressive and stubborn as he appeared to be. This caused their heart to leap in excitement, especially because they got something more spicy and juicy to add up to the story.Mr. Philip had summoned them for a press conference to address the issue of having a child somewhere with another woman. They had just finished listening to his story and as though luck were shining on them, they met his son who was behaving like someone who has just escaped from asylum.“What? Haven’t you all stared at me enough?” Ethan asked aloud as he broke into a loud and hysterical laughter.“Go and get busy, you nosy fools! Go on and write what you’ve seen today, idiots!” He insulted them and made to leave when he stopped right in his tracks.“And yes! Just a little warning to never hold me next time you see me”, Ethan said, and threw qui
