“Do you have any manners young lady!?” Mr.Park snapped angrily.

The reason Nikolai had agreed to meet him was, to notify him of what would happen to his company since Nikolai and Arthur were now Marjory shareholders.

Most of his workers complained about how abusive he was and barely paid his workers minimum wage when he made them work in poor conditions and over time.

Nikolai's Jaw ticked as he looked at him with a cold glare which made him shut up upon realizing his mistake.

"Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to. I just thought it was unprofessional of her." He stuttered as he took his seat.

Nikolai laid back in his chair and watched him calmly even though his insides were boiling. "Is that so? I suggest you apologize to the beautiful young lady because, to me, it seems like you're the one lacking manners. Don't you agree?"

When Mr.Park looked up, the look in Nikolai's eyes told him not to argue, "Ahhh, yes. Miss," He turned to Joane. "Please accept my apology." He bowed his head sli

    As the announcement echoed through the room, Joane felt a wave of shock wash over her. She looked at Nikolai, whose expression mirrored her own surprise.Isabella, standing beside Marjory, beamed with joy as she raised her hand to show off the engagement ring. The room erupted into applause and congratulations as people approached Isabella to offer their best wishes.Joane stood frozen, unsure of how to process the news. She had no recollection of Nikolai ever mentioning sharing romantic feelings with Isabella, let alone being engaged. She felt a pang of hurt and confusion, wondering why Nikolai had never mentioned this important detail to her.So many questions began to hit her and she felt her knees go weak.‘When did this happen? How could this happen? I’ve spent two weeks with Isabel and she even wished Nikolai and I would be together, so what is this I’m now seeing?’ The questions kept on coming but she couldn’t think of an answer that would fit any of the questions.“You even ga

    “You’re like my drug. I’m addicted and I can’t get enough of you, Bullshit!” She mumbled under her breath."I love you. More lies and more bullshit!" Joane continued to speak under her breath. Joane had managed to find a taxi with the help of the stranger. She didn’t even wait to get his name when she sat and gave the driver the home address. She felt like her heart was being ripped out of her chest as she replayed Isabella's words. She had hoped against hope that there was still a chance for her and Nikolai, but Isabella's confirmation shattered that hope into a million pieces.Tears that she had been holding inside erupted like a tidal wave. She couldn’t hold them back anymore as she clamped her mouth trying to muffle the sobbing. She felt like her heart was ripped into tiny pieces. It hurt so much that she wished someone would make it stop.Her shoulders were shaking as she cried her heart out. The pain of betrayal was fresh and new. “What should I do?” She asked no one in partic

    “Is that Joane?” Isabella asked in surprise.“Seems like it. My girl is turning the city upside down.” Nikolai smiled proudly. “You looked gorgeous Sweetheart.”“Where did you get that dress?” Isabella pressed on curiosity building inside her.“Oh, you suddenly went mute so, I called Kiana for help.” Joane shrugged. “Kiana Reed, always reliable.” Nikolai laughed as he brushed Joane’s hair. A habit he had of playing with her hair anytime she was close to him.Isabella gasped, “Arthur Reed’s wife is your friend?”“Yeah.” Joane half laughed, “You seem pale, are you okay?” Joane asked.“Yeah. I’m good.” Isabella cleared her throat. Looking back at the TV.Joane's attention went back to the TV and was still shocked that her picture was the one that was making headlines, “Do they do this normally?” She asked.“Yes, they select one male and one female who stands out during the event and ask them to do an interview with Stay TV,” Nikolai explained.“Stay TV?” Joane asked. Still confused.“Ye

    Nikolai was stepping out of his office after a quick meeting when he met Barbra, Isabella’s secretary. She was breathing heavily like she had run a marathon. Nikolai didn’t have plans on stopping for her, but what he didn’t know was that she was running in his direction. “Mr. Cooper!” She breathed holding onto her knees.Nikolai looked at his team behind him whose faces were then filled with horror as they realized what had happened. Nikolai always had six of his staff to walk with him whenever it was after a meeting. After his re-introduction and taking over as CEO, no one dared stand in the hallway until he passed. Even the elevator and the parking lot where his car was, were always empty.He was now known as the Cold hearted CEO but he didn't care. He had a mission and he was going to accomplish it regardless of what rumours people stirred for him. Seeing the woman stand in front of him and block his way, made everyone rush forward but Barbra stood, “It’s about your fiance, she’s

    “Nikolai, can I speak with you?” His father called out but Nikolai didn’t even glance at him as he went straight to his mother’s garden where she liked to spend time when she was not at the office. Marjory wore black garden gloves as she was weeding off the grass from her flowers. When she saw the door open, her lips stretched into a smile, “My beautiful angel, how was your third day as CEO?”“It was good. You still do this?” Nikolai asked as he took a seat.Marjory laughed softly before returning to weeding her flowers, “If I don’t do it, who is going to do it?”“You have more than fifty workers. I’m sure ten of them wouldn’t mind.” Nikolai shrugged.“I know you didn’t show up in my garden to discuss my flowers. What is it?” Marjory asked, concern in her voice.Nikolai had called her two nights before and asked that they speak but Marjory insisted they meet after the board election. “You knew didn’t you?”“Knew what?”“Mum!” Nikolai snapped but kept his voice controlled.“You’re youn

    The night went on but Nikolai didn't slow down on his drinking no matter how much his friends asked him to. Arthur decided to let him be until he saw that he had had enough, he decided it was time to take him home before he caused a scene. “Tell Micheal to get the car ready,” Arthur said to one of his security men.“Yes sir.”“No, I can’t go home like this. Joane will be hurt and I broke her heart the other day, I’d rather die than see her shed another tear.” Nikolai argued.“Then I suggest you get your shit together because you’re going home.” Arthur stood and grabbed the bottle from him.“Help me get him to the car.” He turned to Caspian.The two held each of Nikolai’s arms around their necks and walked to the back door which was only accessible by the top Vips. "Easy, man. We're almost there," Arthur reassured, his grip firm on Nikolai’s arm.Nikolai stumbled, nearly losing his balance. "I don’t wanna go home... Joane... she’ll hate me," he slurred, his voice filled with despair.

    The morning sun streamed through the curtains, casting a warm glow over the room. Nikolai stirred, his eyes fluttering open. He blinked against the light, trying to shake off the dizziness that was starting. As he turned his head, he saw Joane sitting beside him, her expression a mix of concern and relief. "Morning," she said softly, her voice gentle. "Morning," Nikolai replied, his voice hoarse. He rubbed his eyes and sat up slowly, the events of the previous night coming back to him in fragments. Joane reached out and took his hand. "Nik, what happened last night? You were so upset." Nikolai looked away, his jaw tightening. "I’m sorry, Sweetheart. I... I don’t want to talk about it right now. Not before the party." Joane studied his face, the events of the previous night flashing before her and breaking her heart all over again. She nodded reluctantly. "Alright. But we will talk about it later, Right?" "Promise," Nikolai said, squeezing her hand. With that, Joane

    "I don’t understand why you’re doing this. What did I ever do to you?" Joane asked disbelief in her tone."Exist," Isabella snapped. "You’re a problem that needs to be dealt with," she added in a bitter tone.Joane watched with teary eyes, she couldn't believe the words that were coming out of Isabella’s mouth. It was like a whole different person had possessed her body. “Have you been in love with him all along?” She asked. Her voice was barely a whisper.“You’ve been close to him for a year and some months and you’re already in his bed, that kind of question shouldn’t come from someone like you!” Isabella sneered as she stepped forward. Her arms folded across her chest.Before Joane could respond, Isabella’s expression shifted, and she let out a piercing scream, jumping into the pool with a dramatic splash. Joane stood frozen in shock, her mind struggling to process what had just happened. Before she could call out for help, Guests from inside the house rushed out, drawn by the com

    Joane sat at the kitchen table, cradling a steaming mug of coffee in her hands. The aroma filled the room, but she hardly noticed it as her mind wandered. The weight of her sister's illness had been pressing down on her for weeks, making every moment feel like an eternity. She took a sip, as she searched for any donor on the website that Angela had told her about.Her phone buzzed on the table, jolting her out of her thoughts. She picked it up, seeing the name "Agness" flash on the screen. Her heart skipped a beat as she answered the call."Hello?" Joane's voice was shaky.For the past two weeks, that was the case with Natalie, she was getting worse and they were running out of time. Every time her phone rang and it showed “Agness” Joane would hold her breath in the hope that it wasn’t news of her sister’s death."Joane, it's Agness. You need to come to the hospital immediately. Natalia's condition has worsened, this might be her last few moments. You can come and say your goodbye.” S

    The moment that Nikolai packed his car, he saw Isabella from his rearview mirror and informed Arthur to be on stand-by. When he stepped out and she asked him to throw the phone in the water, he pressed the SOS button to inform Arthur of how serious the situation had turned out to be.Arthur took the signal and with the help of Kayden’s great hacking ability, he was able to find Isabella’s car through every street camera. When they drove to their destination, Cade tagged along to help Arthur because he too had been searching for Isabella over the crimes she had done with Annabel.Nikolai’s pulse raced as the sound of sirens grew louder, the distant wail piercing through the tense atmosphere. Isabella's eyes darted around in a mix of panic and fury. Her henchmen exchanged uneasy glances, unsure of their next move.“Damn it,” Isabella hissed again, her grip on the gun tightening. “We need to move. Now!”But when she noticed they were surrounded, she got Confused and was unsure of where

    Nikolai’s head throbbed as he slowly regained consciousness. The dull ache intensified with each heartbeat, and he groaned, attempting to move but finding himself restrained. As his vision cleared, he realized he was tied to a chair in a dimly lit warehouse. The air was thick with the smell of dust and oil, and a single, flickering overhead light cast long shadows on the concrete floor.Panic surged through him as he remembered the last thing he heard—Joane’s scream. He struggled against his bindings, feeling the rough ropes cutting into his wrists. Every fiber of his being ached to find her, to ensure she was safe.A soft whimper caught his attention, and his eyes darted around the room. He saw her in the corner, barely illuminated by the weak light. Joane was lying on the cold floor, her hands and feet bound, her face pale and streaked with tears. Anger and fear surged through him, giving him a boost of energy to fight against his restraints.“Joane!” he called out, his voice hoars

    “It’s good to see you,” Leo said as Nikolai walked in.He found his mother sitting silently and wondered what made her extra low. Even after what had happened, Marjory wasn't the type not to jump when she saw her son so something felt off and he was going to speak to her,After talking to Leo.“I don’t have much time, so let’s get to the point,” Nikolai said.Leo cleared his throat as he eyed his son. Isabella had not told him what she had done with Joane but only told him to force Nikolai to marry her and because he wanted to be with Katherine, he gladly accepted to do so.“I’ve set the date for you and Isabella. You didn’t break off the engagement publicly as planned so they still think you’re together. This is your chance to make things right.” Leo said but didn’t get a chance to say the next words as Nikolai’s fist met with his cheek and made him stumble backward while grabbing his side of the face in pain.“What the hell!” He shouted.“Nik!” Marjory stood but didn’t even bother t

    Nikolai paced the length of his office, his phone pressed to his ear. He had been trying to reach Joane for hours, but all his calls had gone unanswered. Worry gnawed at him, each unanswered ring heightening his anxiety.“Does she hate me that much?” He mumbled under his breath.Nikolai didn’t want to call Arthur because he felt like he was already putting his friend in an awkward situation by making him the middleman. He tried to deal with their problem on his own.After trying again, he decided to first reach out to Micheal in case he knew something. Who picked up on the second ring.“Hi.” He answered, “Do you need me for anything?”Nikolai froze for a few seconds. He had been thinking about what he had said to him and a part of him felt guilty because Micheal may not have told him he was his father, but he stood by him through it all, including in moments that he was too ashamed of talking about. Nikolai had a great relationship with Leo but it got stained after the day he caught h

    Joane's brow furrowed in confusion. "What plan?"Isabella rolled her eyes, her expression turning cold and irritation evident on her face "Oh, you don’t know anything do you?” But she didn’t wait for a response when she continued while she paced around, "You see, my dear, this all started long before you came into the picture. My father was supposed to take over the Cooper Group. It was his birthright, and my birthright was to Marry Nikolai so we could be reunited as a family. Then you came along and ruined everything!"Joane struggled against her bindings, trying to understand what she had just heard but it wasn’t making any sense to her, having slept in a chair didn't help her body ache either but she remained focused on getting the confession out of Isabella, "Your father? What does he have to do with this? And how is marriage a birthright?" She half laughed at how ridiculous Isabella sounded. "Leo Cooper is my father. You dumb ass, and Nikolai is my soulmate.
