“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
“I forgot to ask. If your father is Don Santiago, then why do you work in the club?” Colton asked Juliet whiles he drove back to the penthouse. Santiago was a millionaire and hence the question since Juliet was his only child. Carter insisted that he was fine and would go to Allan after a little rest like Caddaric had suggested to him before. He needed to learn a thing or two from Allan and was going to give it his all. Doctor Sarah agreed to stay with him for a while so Colton left. “When he disowned me, he took away all my allowances and living expenses, so I would run back to him but I decided to find a job in the place I loved the most,” Juliet explained. She had no regrets for the decisions she took and how she became independent after being used to a life of affluence. “Why did he disown you?” Colton asked again. “Because I dropped out from school but I have been in communication with his chief aid, warning me to be careful of some other Dons. I admit it’s just my nature. I l
Caddaric has never been so happy to hear from Casper. His main concern was how to get Ariana out safely and calmingly, Casper took care of it before Caddaric could think about it. The sound of gunshots was getting closer without warning and hearing the sound of bombs, he knew those were his cars being set to flames as well. He spoke hastily. “You have to be careful. They are already here and Juliet is here too. Since they want Ariana, I know they won’t blast the house until they get her, which I will not allow.” “Hunter went ahead when we could not reach you. I will be very disappointed if you don’t have a secret exit,” Casper said from the end of the line. When Allan could not reach Caddaric after all the findings, he decided to involve Casper, which turned out to be a wise move. From Allan’s tracker, Caddaric and Ariana were both in the penthouse and Casper did not need anyone’s permission to go there. Luckily, Hunter’s house was just about ten minute’s drive from that of Caddaric
“Cousin, we need to get our injuries checked to not get blisters. Ariana will be worried about you if she sees anything like that on your skin,” Colton pointed out. Only then did Caddaric tear his eyes off his penthouse which was in flames, as the firefighters did their best to quench the fire. It was not in his nature to buy an already-built home. Due to what he does, he always had it built from scratch and his dream mansion was nowhere near completion. This house had also been a home for Ariana because he had given it to her. He lowered his head sadly, “You are right but Bruce and whoever is involved, has to pay and since I’ll be busy in a few hours, I have to get this done with,” he said with determination. It was past midnight and he was supposed to meet the seniors. As for the house, he was going to make the perpetrator pay triple, the same for his cars. His phone rang and when he checked the caller ID, it was Allan. “Cadda, I’m sorry but they are
