The drive back to the Villa was a quiet one. The silence in the car was stifling. Daniel ignored the woman by his side as he leaned lazily on the back seat of the car.
Though, he kept his eyes closed. He was still aware of his surrounding.About half an hour later, the car drove into the mansion. Daniel's closed eyes shut open.The butler went to check who it was at the door. When he opened the door, he was pleasantly surprised to see the person beside the Madam, "young Master, you are back! Master would be so happy to see you."He made way for them as they walked inside.Natasha rolled her eyes at the Old fool, he was one of the oldest employees and Johnathan's confidant, though she succeeded in dismissing other previous employees, this old man still managed to stay."Madam, you are back." The butler politely greeted her and stepped aside.NatashaIt was hours past midday. looking at her time, Lana decided to turn in for the day and close early. She carried her bag and walked outside the building. A figure pops up in her view-blocking her from opening the car door."I see, you threw the gifts away." Lana fights the urge to groan out loud and beat him to a pulp so he would stop disturbing her."I am glad, you know that. Seems like your way of getting information is quite on point and fast." She said sarcastically. "Please, leave my path, Austin."She glanced at the man just a step away from her, annoyed."Why? You don't even call me senior, anymore. Give me a chance, will you, Lana. Let me take you out to dinner." Austin said seriously, as he stood there, dressed in a simple T-shirt and pants."Why do you try so hard, Austin? I am a married woman who is expecting, Doesn't that bothers you? I have made it clear that I have no intention of getting together with you
Mel's residence."Your father got Wu Lin to invite us to his father's birthday banquet. It is said that they will be celebrating old man Wu's 53rd birthday Anniversary. Butler Ke will prepare a better and expensive gift, we can not afford any embarrassment seeing how he had to flatter that Mr. Wu for it." Linda Mel sat with her legs crossed on the sofa as she informed Josh and Alexandra.It was the best chance to get business partners. Although, the company was doing well, though not like before. It was still better to make more business partners and investors to push the company forward."Tomorrow, you two will represent your father and me, there. And Josh, try to expand connections. It will be good for the company." She informed them what Gideon asked her to convey. Alexandra was feeling happy at this moment, about attending the event. It has been a long time since she last attended an
At the long rectangular dinner table. A somewhat, happy ambiance permeated the Area, as a hot, grand set of dishes were served.Johnathan Li sat at the head seat, while Daniel sat by his right-hand side. The other two; Natasha and Peter sat on the opposite side of Daniel. As the maids placed the dishes on the table, Daniel gazed at them with an unspeakable glint in his eyes.Johnathan caught the glimmer in his eyes, and let out a fake cough."Eat, it is your favorite food." Johnathan pointed out to the dishes with emotion. Though he did not mention anyone, those on the table, knew exactly who the old man was talking to. The look of jealousy was all over Peter. When has his father, ever prepared his favorite food or anything at all for him. This Old Man was sure biased to his precious Son. He came back early and happen to see his father, cooking in the kitchen with the maids standing outside. Only Butler Feng was beside him, helping out with the p
She felt something trail down her legs and reached out to touch it. She sat in a small puddle of blood and look at her smeared hand. The pain was so much, leaving her on the brink of fainting. She lost consciousness and her body hit the ground.The place was thrown into commotion, with Yang Tinxue sobbing right behind Josh. "Brother Josh, what have you done?"Josh was shocked and rushed forward and carried her up. Yelling, "Make way!." He rushed Alexandra to his car with Yang Tinxue following closely beside him.In Zhangbing, Country R.Peter Li, who was already used to sleeping late and waking up in the afternoon, was woken up by 8'0clock in the morning by Butler Feng.With panda eyes, he ate breakfast with the rest of the people at the table.He was so sleepy that his eyes twitched, but under the scrutiny of his father, he did not dare play any tricks.After breakfast.Daniel gave
With each contraction came a pain that dominated Alexandra's entire being. In those moments, for those seconds that stretched into infinity, there was nothing else. She could hear screaming from other rooms, yet she made no sound at all. When the pain passed it was only for a minute or so and she breathed with closed eyes, unwilling to re-engage with life outside of her own body. The room might as well have been empty for all the awareness she had, and when they did talk, touch, gain her attention she found it so hard. To reply she had to find herself from the deepest recess of her own mind and drag herself forward, to use her voice, open her eyes. The doctor was telling her that it was time, time to push, again. With a guttural grunt she did so and was told to stop, one was enough. She felt the baby crowning, the hot stretching of flesh, and held her breath. She could feel her consciousness being drawn from her body and for a moment, there was no breath at all.
Ever since the Eldest son of the Li's was seen in his welcome banquet with Catherine Xu. The only daughter of Mr. And Mrs. Xu of the Xu Corporation. Unknown to some persons, Mrs. Xu was related to Natasha Li and is her half-sister.

The Li's Eldest son had just returned and taken over the empire. Now the news of him having a fiancée was all around town. Naturally, Daniel did not give any response to the news about his love life. No one knew what he was thinking, at all.Meanwhile, in the Xu Residence.Mr and Mrs Xu were pleasantly surprised and happy to hear that their daughter was in a relationship with The Li's Eldest son.
Later, Lana arrived at Zhangbing City Country R. she immediately took a Cab from the airport to a hotel.She was so tired from the five hours of journey and could not wait to plop on a soft bed and sleep through the night. She rolled over her luggage into the enormous hotel and walked to the receptionist and booked a room for three nights. As she waited for the receptionist to complete the process, something or someone caught her attention. She saw a familiar back, isn't that Daniel? Before she could confirm her suspicion, the person disappeared into a corner. She excused herself and walked over to the place but could not find the person she was looking for anywhere.She shook her head with a sigh before walking back. 'How can that be Daniel? Maybe I long for him more than I know of, that I even see him everywhere.' Lana let out a sad smile, thinking she saw wrong. She left to her room, as soon as she got the keys.Meanwhile, back in a busin
After her meal, she paid and Left the Hotel. She waited outside for a Cab. After a while, she entered one and went straight to Li's Headquarters.Glancing at the humongous building with a boldly and vigorously written plaque on the front. Lana made her way to the double glass doors, as they opened the moment she stepped closer. She walked past the doors to the reception."Hello, how can I help you?" The redhead receptionist asked with a bored expression."I'm here to see, Daniel Li. Please can you direct me to his office?" Her voice hi calm and mellow as she inquired."Who are you? And Do you have any appointment?""I am Lana Li, his wife and No, I have no appointment done.""Okay, that is it! Wife?" the receptionist muttered with contempt and laughed like it was the world's biggest joke she has ever heard. She then continues, "who does not know that President Li is Ms Catherine's fiance? I have seen women like you, Some even com
