It 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 youMel'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. She was an illegitimate daughter of the Zi family, hence, she was not formally introduced to the world.After that, somehow.News of their engagement spread across the whole country. 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
Joseph Lang walked out of the hotel lobby with his fellow associates. He had just gotten out of a business meeting when he saw a familiar face. Austin Si, stood at a corner with some friends when Joseph Lang sauntered in his direction.Austin saw him coming and greeted him politely, "Hello, Mr. Lang."Joseph Lang nodded in acknowledgement, "How have you been, Mr Si."Austin nodded with a slight smile, "I have been well, Mr. Lang. What about you, Mr Lang?""I am fine. I'm fine, Let me apologize for that daughter of mine. Have you talked to her? Don't worry, I'll make sure, she agrees to marry you."Austin squinted his eyes with a frown, "I don't think, that will be necessary, Mr Lang. I will not force Lana to marry me, I prefer waiting for her, till she comes around."Joseph Lang shakes his head and pats Austin on the shoulder, "You are a nice Man, unfortunately..."*Sigh*Austin nods with a smile, before walking awa
Butler Feng stepped forward seeing his master's reddened face with worry.Suddenly, the front door opened. The officers walked in followed by three burly men dressed in military uniforms, guns on their waists shielding the people behind.After entering, they immediately stepped aside revealing his Eldest son, Daniel. Johnathan almost couldn't believe his eyes. He choked emotionally, seeing his son okay, his wife followed soon after with a Calm expression on her face.He quickly wiped away the tears running down his cheeks as he rushed towards his son and hugged him, "You're alive! Both of you!" His pulled away and his hand slammed strongly on Daniel's shoulder, "It's Good, it is Good that you are alright." Johnathan said emotionally. "Father, I am sorry for worrying you." Daniel apologized calmly as he put his arms around his father."No, you are dead! You were supposed to die in the explosion." Natasha shrieked," Why are you not dead? Why are you not dead?!" she kept shouting hysteri
"Where are we?" Lana uttered wiping the tear stained off her face while looking at the vast space."We'll figure that out tomorrow." Daniel said, "Right now..." he drawled bringing his lips closer to her face, "let's do something warm." They kissed, holding each other tight, savoring each other's taste. He deepened the kiss with an urgency, his tongue entered her mouth to explore every corner of it. She whimpered as he pulled her closer to himself and she clung to him tighter. Her legs instinctively wrapped around his waist, as his hand moved under her dress caressing her inner thighs, causing goosebumps to rise. They broke the kiss but continued kissing, never wanting to let go. She felt him lift her off the ground, as they continued to continue making out, Daniel slowly unbuttoned his shirt and revealed a very well built torso and six pack abs. He kissed her neck as he undid his belt and kicked off his pants along with her dress."D-Daniel," she gasped trying hard not to moan as he
More than thirty minutes later, Lana started waking up. In her dazed state, she could faintly hear the sound of something beeping, it alarmed her. As soon as the panic began to fill up her mind she remembered everything that happened while she was asleep. Slowly she pried her eyelids open looking around. Everything looked dark and quiet but after looking more closely, she noticed the blinking red light, it was bomb!Her mind went blank. Upon arriving, the first thing he did was rush straight inside looking for his wife. The yacht was empty which was odd. But he could not leave before finding Lana. He hurriedly searched every room until he stopped at a particular one, his heart beating along as he opened it.Lana felt it was the end for her. She didn't realize that her eyes were tearing up until she felt the salt wetting her cheek as she was crying silently. A few seconds later, a familiar voice appeared beside her, making her turn around to see her husband. He removed her gag kneelin
As they were leaving the cafe, a van suddenly pulled up in front of them. Feeling unease and puzzled as she glanced at the van, two masked men rushed out and grabbed onto her dragging her into the van. And that was the last thing she remembered before everything faded to darkness.*************Lana woke up groggily and blinked a few times to clear the blurriness away. Looking around, she found herself tied to a chair in a dimly lit room. She tried to figure out where she was but nothing came to mind. A Woman walked into the room making sure she closed the door behind her. Lana tensed at the sound and turned to face her, thinking It was one of the masked men that brought her here.In the Dark, all she could hear was the sound of water source flowing somewhere nearby, which told her they were near a water source. But why would anyone bring her here. The last thing she remembers was being kidnapped by two men who dragged her into the van and knocked her out while driving.She then heard
There was a tensed silence in the hall. The atmosphere became uncomfortable, so Lana decided to take initiative, "Mom, Dad. Let's do this after dinner alright?" She said looking at both sides. Matthew and his wife agreed readily, moving to the table for dinner, the servants serving everyone food. Once everyone was seated.They began to eat in silence as they waited for the tension to subside a bit. After dinner, while the others sat at the leisure room chatting, Lana left with her parents to the study, where they could have a conversation and talk things out. "What is going on here? Don't tell me, this man is your father?" Joseph Lang asked as soon as he stepped into the study."Yes, Father. From your tone, it seems like I was not ever going to know about the fact that my biological father is someone else. Was, it... Father, Mom?" Lanaquestioned looking straight at her Mom. "That's because you weren't meant to find out!""Find out what? That, I was living a lie? That the man I thoug
Lucas blushed slightly and coughed lightly as if he hadn't noticed anything while Ria giggled to herself and continued to sneak glances at him. Lucas turned his head towards Lana slowly, "Sorry. What was it you wanted to say?""Oh, nothing much. Just wondering when you guys will stop staring at each other as if you want to devour each other. I mean seriously." Lana answered, raising an eyebrow at Lucas as she spoke with a teasing tone. Lucas looked away embarrassed and scratched the back of his neck shyly. Ria was grinning like mad, her dark brown eyes twinkled with mischief as she whispered something to Diane, causing her to giggle loudly.***The atmosphere in the White Mansion was quite lively with activities. A lot happened in the past few weeks, with Lucas and Ria getting closer than ever. They were basically everywhere sharing mushy glances.Lana crossed checked everything around the mansion to make sure it was okay, after all, her guests would be arriving soon. Just then, a cal
In a large shopping mall in City A, a young woman with smooth porcelain skin and blonde curly hair that hung down to her shoulders was searching the shelves for something to wear. The sun beamed brightly in the sky above her, casting a warm glow on her pale skin as she walked past. A pair of sunglasses laid rested on her pretty eyes, making her appear Cool and elegant. The young woman was wearing a short black dress that stopped at mid thigh, which showed off her toned legs. She wore black stilettos that matched the dress, enhancing her slim and sexy figure.She checked out the items she bought, holding a small boy of almost two years. He was dressed in a blue tee shirt and some green shorts. His brown, silky hair curled around his face like a halo. He also wore black sneakers. The young woman held her son and left the shopping mall sporting the man leaning against the car. The small boy had his left hand clasped in his mother's right hand, staring at everything they passed when his
When morning came, the house had already begun to buzz with activity, Lana's family met with the Li's to discuss about Lana and Daniel's wedding.Soon the Xuans arrived at the Li family Villa. After they met with the Li's' the rest of the day went by fast. ...Once everyone returned to their homes, the Xuans started their planning session regarding Lana and Daniel's wedding ceremony. They decided on a location for the ceremony. They'd have it at the White Mansion in front of all the guests and then there would be a small reception afterwards which was mostly meant for the family only.The afternoon passed quickly as they discussed what they wanted for their wedding reception. The wedding would take place at the White Mansion in June which was a month away from now. And because the wedding was going to be held there, there were a lot of guest invited. Including the members of both sides, plus some business associates.*. * *. * *.Back in City A, Country M.Lang's Residence. The atm
"Yes...me." She confirmed her suspicions, crossing her legs on the chair as she leaned forward slightly. "Tell me why I shouldn't just call security down on you right now? Or perhaps I should let the police handle this case." Lana demanded, anger flashing in her eyes as she glared daggers at the young nurse.Dr. Alice M. sat staring at Lana, aghast at what she had helped do in the past had come back to hunt her."Do you know why I decided to come visit?" She demanded sternly.Dr. M nodded, swallowing thickly. "Yes, I'm afraid so. I'm so sorry about what...""Don't bother, Your apologies won't turn back time or give me my child! He was only five months and yet you guys helped kill him." The venom in her voice sent shivers down Dr. M's spine, but still she forced a shaky smile and sat straight, crossing her legs. Lana glared darkly at the other woman before sighing heavily. "Alright, let's skip to the point, shall we?" Lana said sarcastically, "Tell me, Was your heart eaten by the dev
