Chapter 187

I have to overlook everything and make sure all is well..I have people in various parts of the world working for me yet only a few know me" Zack said as if he were a lonely man...he looked in a distance at the mountain view that stood not far from his villa. Ashley patted him on the shoulder "don't worry..it will take time for her to come around, you know she just experienced a terrible heartbreak so try and understand her and give it as much time as you possibly can" Ashley advised then turned and walked away, leaving Zack staring at the mountain in a distance. Fortune I bought this villa because of you..it made you happy looking at how beautiful and natural the mountain view was.. Zack sighed helplessly, he had a mixture of feelings at this moment and didn't know what to think.

Time slowly went by and finally, fortune and Asia graduated and were now medical doctors. During this period of time, Fortune dedicated herself to being a doctor, she rejected each and every man that came her way. It's like she matured into a real woman. She had a unique aura that anyone could feel at a glimpse. She carried herself with so much confidence and determination in what she wanted to achieve.

Asia thought her friend needed to have a life partner but fortune shook off the idea each and every time the subject was being addressed. Meanwhile, Alex felt like he was living a nightmare with Kim and that made him realize that fortune was the best woman he could have ever had. He did alot of investigations trying to find a loophole that he could use against Zack till he succeeded. Alex teamed up with zacks greatest enemy who was van's younger brother. A man determined to avenge the death of his elder brother. Alex felt like van's young brother was the perfect person to team up with. He not only teamed up with van's brother but he also found out about Nora. If he helped nora escape from prison, she would definitely go after Zack. Alex's first move was to use Nora as a tool against Zack.

With the help of Van's brother, Alex could make this possible, as usual, something like a prison escape plan would take time.

Ashley worked hand in hand with Zack and everything seemed to be going on well.. "Zack, according to the information we gathered, Alex has teamed up with Van's young brother, Kevin..don't you think he has bitten more than he can chew? We both know that this action only has the aim of killing you and dethroning you of your title. As far as I have known you, you never allow anyone to reach this far. Why then are you allowing this?" Ashley asked curiously. "If a rat thinks he can defeat a lion in his den, you allow it play all it's little games till it has no place to hide then crush it" Zack responded lazily.

"You know Ashley, it's been two years now, I think I can pursue fortune now and if she still rejects me, I will move on and leave her alone. A year ago I tried but I failed. You know how difficult fortune can be at times. This time, I will try for the last time using a different approach". Ashley nodded in silence and smiled "your consistency will eventually make you win..that's what consistency does, it never disappoints unless if it's not meant for you".

Ashley advised then walked away. Zack took a deep breath then got his phone so he could call fortune. "Zack Roberts" zack heard the familiar voice which he had not heard in a long time. He lifted his head and looked at the middle-aged man who just walked in. "Dad, it's you"..."who else would know that you are zack, Roberts? You always use a fake name, only your first name is real. I must say you are a better player than your father. Your Mother is worried about your marriage, she asked me to come and check on you and how you are fairing...I mean she asked me to check if you have someone. You know how your mother is" mr Roberts spoke indifferently. Zack smiled before responding, "I am working on it Dad. You know choosing a wife is not as easy as picking an outfit..just give me some time. There is someone, I have feelings for her, it's just a matter of taking things slow and if she accepts, I will let both of you know about it". Mr. Roberts nodded "hmm yes, I understand. Son, you have achieved what I couldn't get all my life. You don't even have to inherit anything from me because my net worth is like a drop in the ocean compared to what you have. I mean I am proud to be your father.

Just don't live such a life forever. Remember not to leave any loopholes behind once you decide to stop. You need to have a personal life, a wife, your kids a complete home. That's what you need now that you have grown and you have so much money to take care of your entire generation". Zack raised his brow "Dad, come on you don't have to exaggerate. At the moment, they are a few people that I need to take care of. They know my identity and I am afraid I will have to take care of those things before I can live a normal life" The father and son pair spoke for some time before mr Roberts left. Zack remembered that before his father came in, he was about calling fortune. He sighed then looked for fortunes number and called without hesitation. The phone on the other end rang for some time before it connected "hello Zack, how are you?" Fortune spoke in a light tone. Zack on the other end smiled "if it isn't our one and only doctor Williams. Can this doctor do me a favor by allowing me take her out for dinner this evening?" Zack politely asked. Fortune on the other side was quiet for some seconds "hmm zack, actually ...." Ok then it's a date, I will pick you up from the hospital at 7 pm" Zack interrupted fortunes words, giving her no chance to respond then hung up directly with a smirk on his face.
