Please let me clarify something. My contract with GN, is to update 50k words spread across 25 days. If you have all noticed, I always do more than that even with two books. As at now, I have already met that target but due to the love, encouragement and support I get from you guys, I go out of my way to do more. I just completed my other book, Spoiled and pampered by my cold CEO husband yesterday, for which reason update for this book delayed. I still have to write down all the drafts before next month, for which reason I will be updating a chapter daily till end of the month but from next month, I will do two chapters daily. The book will also be completed before the close of April 2023. Thank you for understanding.
Caddaric glared at Doctor Sarah and she quickly went to Donna’s aid. No one knew how long it took but Donna regained consciousness and Doctor Sarah helped her to her feet. As she was being led back to her chair, Casper asked her, “do you still want us to end the video for your daughter’s sake?”Donna looked around, seemingly in a daze. Her gaze met Miranda’s and she quickly looked away. An emotionless remark left her lips, “a daughter? I don’t think I have one.” A shrill tore from Miranda’s throat instantly. “Mum please, I just needed your attention.” Donna walked to the door and as if recalling something, she stopped, turned to face Caddaric, and said in the same emotionless tone, “I can’t stay any longer. Tell them to let me out.” Caddaric gave a nod and the door was opened for her. “Mum please,” Miranda’s cries were heard but it was as if Donna was the only one who had not heard them. The realization was painful. Her daughter was something she did not know how to describe. A diff
Caddaric asked Doctor Sarah, “Do you have a boyfriend?” The woman blushed a little, not knowing why Caddaric could sound funny even when he had a serious expression. She explained, “After a bad heartbreak, no, and being surrounded by so many mafias, I’m not interested in any of them.” Caddaric’s gaze softened and he asked again in a softer tone, “What about my cousins? One of them is single.” If he could divert Carter’s attention, then Colton would be fine. He could foresee what was coming and was not ready to deal with it. “A Blade? I won’t consider it,” Doctor Sarah refused instantly. Caddaric was already a handful, except that he was not pursuing her but after all that had happened today and how he even forced her to come, she could not bring herself to date anyone from this mafia family. Caddaric had lost words to convince her. It was quite easy with Ariana because of the circumstances surrounding their relationship so he technically lacked the skil
“Cole, what will you have? I will get it for you,” Juliet said as soon as Colton ushered her to a chair beside Ariana and Sarah, while Allan ushered Cassandra but Allan seemed to be busy with something. Cassandra understood it was because of his job and was not perturbed. The corner of Colton’s lips curled up at the way Juliet addressed him but he did not react immediately. They still had not had any private moment so he was looking up to their upcoming date. He shook his head slyly, “No, you tell me what you want and I will get it for you. Don’t forget you are the woman here,” he reminded her softly. Seeing her face dull a little, he added in a slightly seductive tone, “I like the fact that you are daring but now, I have to teach you how to be my lady.” Juliet smiled instantly. Being used to doing things for people and herself, it was going to be difficult for her to allow a man to take care of her needs but it was not something bad so she was willing to learn. “Okay, I will have a
“Sorry, I’m not much of a good dancer,” Carter politely refused, feeling that Doctor Sarah must have read the wrong meaning into his request to take her to the club. He was just using it as a means to make an appearance there without making it obvious that he was stalking Juliet. Whereas he must have also misunderstood Doctor Sarah. She smiled deliciously, saying, “Thanks. So, I don’t have to go to the club with you tomorrow and I’m really tired. I’ll take my leave now.” By the time Carter realized he had been tricked into allowing her to cancel his invitation to the club, Doctor Sarah was already bidding Ariana and Cassandra goodbyes. When she thought she had finally escaped and was about to take a step, Carter stood up, grabbed her arm, and dragged her to the dance floor without a second thought. If he missed the opportunity to take her to the club, then there was no way to ruin Colton and Juliet’s date. Ariana and Cassandra could not stop laughing, as Cassandra asked, “Is Carter
“Do you think the guys are drinking again like last night?” Ariana asked, disturbed. “Why don’t you go and check?” Juliet shrugged and spoke. For as long as the three men were together, they could not be drinking water but she did not tell Ariana, for fear of aggravating her worries. Ariana shook her head and sat back on the bed. “It will be as if I’m spying on them. So, what is it with you and Colton?” She asked curiously. Juliet smiled instantly and said, “I think we made headway. He said he loved me from the first time he saw me.” Juliet’s heart did a flip, as she recalled their kiss in the middle of the dance floor. “So, you are happy?” Ariana asked, half-seriously. Juliet stared into space and said, “I am except…” “What?” Ariana asked curiously, tapping on the side of the bed for Juliet to sit. She did before she continued, “Carter. He hardly allows us privacy.” “He will get the message soon. I thin
Everything about Colton felt serene, it was as if Juliet was in another world whenever he was with her. Colton went around to open the door for her, excitement running through his veins. However, as soon as Juliet stepped out, he said, “I won’t push it but I’ll still want to hear it sometime.” He removed his black card and gave it to her. “Since you are used to making the first move, take this.” “Cole,” Juliet was about to refuse but he did not allow it. “I won’t take no for an answer. Unless you stop making the first move,” he said seriously. If he could not tame her, then he would find ways to work with her. An idea crossed Juliet’s mind and she smiled while taking the card. “You must have loads of cash that you want me to spend,” she said teasingly. Colton smiled back assuringly, “Now you got the message.” “Perhaps, we could start a business instead,” she said, half-jokingly. Colton stiffened slightly, not knowing that s
Juliet was uncomfortable with the arms wrapped around her and it also felt very wrong, seeming that Carter was now the desperate one. Whichever way, though it wasn’t wrong for people to be in such positions in environments like this, Juliet was very much concerned about what Colton would think. Quickly, she forced herself out of his embrace and turned to face him. “What are you doing? Why can’t you be happy that I am happy?” She asked despairingly, certain that Carter wanted to use whichever means to ruin her relationship with Colton, including making her look like a cheater. “Are you?” Carter asked. He did not believe her. “Yes,” Juliet confirmed, Carter’s eyes dimmed but he felt that she was saying it to get back at him, pointing out, “But you don’t love Colton. I was the one you asked to dance with you.” Juliet pursed her lips. She could not say that she regretted it because something good came out of her daring move, and that w
Earlier Colton saw a familiar figure and said, “Let’s go.” Doctor Sarah was confused as she asked, “where?” “Wherever Carter is,” Colton said, lifting himself from the bar stool. He figured that Doctor Sarah would know where Carter was and wherever he’d see Carter, he'd find Juliet. Doctor Sarah stood up too but with a different intention, “No, I’ll just go home.” She did not see the need to continue being there after how things had turned out. Also, she did not know how to face Juliet and felt uncomfortable around Colton but he insisted, “Just do as I say, Doc, don’t argue.” The sternness in his tone made it impossible for her to refuse. Colton could feel something wrong. He saw Don Moncho approach Juliet at the refreshment party and he was here. Though everyone was welcome to the club, why did Colton feel that the man was here for Juliet? As they walked through the crowd of heavy dancers, he lost sight of Don Moncho but saw a man holding a gun, who did not look like any of the
