The dress fitted her perfectly. Even the underwear she was given fitted well. Technically, they were both strangers but the man knew her size very well.Hilda bit her lower lip and looked at herself in the mirror. She was blushing. She slapped herself in frustration. "Hilda, wake up!"After a while, she calmed her nerves before tugging on the dress awkwardly before leaving the restroom.The man was not in the bedroom when she entered and she had no idea where he was. Feeling relieved, she patted her chest only to notice the man walking out of his walk - in closet. She widened her eyes instantly.She had know that Nathan had an athletic build and a perfect body. But looking at him now, she was in awe. The man had a black suit on. Since the curtain was opened, his back was against the sunlight, and so he appeared like a deity with a halo. Hilda was so in awe. She merely stared at him without blinking her eyes.Nathan was holding his cufflinks with one hand as he tidied his sleeves. When
Daniel stood in front of her and blocked her path. "Hilda, I'm worried about you. Where were you last night? Carmen and I were worried sick. You are my first love so you should know that I would always love you. We called you so many times but you didn't even bother to pick up the calls. We...""Enough! Worried? Hah. Why would you be worried? Weren't you guys so in love and couldn't wait to get engaged? So you should try your best and stop saying this silly things about you loving me. I'm your sister- in - law.""Hilda, why are you so on guard against me? I'm your first love and brother in law. I would never think of harming you. We are doing everything for your own good Hilda.""Never harm me? Hilda scoffed at his words. "Think about what all of you did and ask your conscience whether you have harmed me or not. Please just let me be. We are at work so we should not be talking about such matters."Daniel refused to give up even though Hilda had made her self clear. "You have misunderst
Daniel knew it would be useless since he already had an argument with Hilda earlier. "Carmen, since she said she is okay, let's go and have it alone." With that he held Carmen's hand, turned around and strode out. Since Carmen had already achieved what she wanted, she stopped at the doorway, turned back and smiled as triumph flashed through her eyes before walking away.After they left Hilda received a call. Looking at the caller Id, she frowned before answering. "Mother.""You unfilial daughter. Don't call me that. Till when are you waiting to come back home? Hurry and come back home after work today. It is your grandmother's birthday." As soon as Amanda heard said this, she hanged up without waiting for Hilda's reply.Looking at the phone which was hanged up, Hilda smiled bitterly.In Daniel's office, Carmen's adorable face scrunched up sadly. She held onto Daniel's hand innocently while swaying slightly to soothe him. "I have always had a good relationship with Hilda. I am the on
"Hilda meet Mr. Rex Cross. He is the Young Master of the Cross Family. Mr. Rex, this is my daughter I told you about."Looking at Hilda who was simply dressed with a little makeup, Rex's eyes lit up. She is a beauty. Taking her hand Rex spoke up "Hi Miss Hilda, I'm Rex. Nice to meet you."Frowning Hilda replied. "Hi Mr. Rex, Is a pleasure to meet you."With that Mrs. Adams said shamelessly. "I will leave you two to get to know each other. As I said, Mr. Rex, Hilda is single and so are you."Understanding the meaning of her words, Hilda smiled bitterly and thought. So I'm the bargaining chip here for them to get a marriage alliance with the Cross family. What a shame.Rex stared internly at Hilda as he thought she isn't so bad after all.Everyone in Taadi knows who Rex was. He was young but leads a promiscuous life. Looking at him who was staring at her flirticiously, Hilda shuddered.As they were standing and looking at each other awkwardly, Carmen came over with a drink. "Mr. Rex, Si
Hilda turned to look up at Rex helplessly. Hopelessness was apparent in her eyes. The moment their gazes met, a knock was heard on the door with Carmen's voice following suit. "Hilda? Are you still in there? It is almost time for the cake to be cut. Let's go and join the celebration after all it is grandmother's big day."When no one replied, she continued. "Hilda? You still there?"Hilda forced herself to lift her head while pinching her thighs with both hands trying to gain some consciousness. Trying her best to not give in to the drugs, she looked at Rex coldly. "You planned all this with my parents? Is there really a need for this?"Rex squinted his eyes feeling amused by Hilda's question. Then he raised his eyebrows and responded with a smile. "What do you think?""You..." Hilda didn't know what to say."Are you in there Hilda? Are you still not feeling okay? I'll get someone to come right away. Just open up would you?" Carmen never stopped banging on the door. She sounded really
Meanwhile in the bathroom, two people stood together in there holding their breathe. Hilda felt particularly tensed as her hands clung onto Nathan's body. She gritted her teeth trying her very best to control her restlessness.The drug was very strong that Hilda couldn't withstand it anymore. She couldn't bear the heat.As Nathan knew how strong the drug in Hilda's body was, he squeezed her shoulders, exerting a light force in an attempt to keep her awake. Hilda closed her eyes slightly and bit her lips in pain. Moaning she spoke up. "I feel really terrible Nathan.""Shh!" Nathan frowned and quickly covered Hilda's mouth upon hearing her moan. Seeing how alluring Hilda was looking, Nathan gulped unconsciously. His throat moved as he swallowed some saliva."Did anyone hear that sound?"Daniel thought he had heard a sound but it was very faint so he didn't quiet catch it. Nathan froze. Looking at the half conscious Hilda in his hands who was already rubbing her own body against him, hi
Nathan walked out of the bushes only after making sure that the voices of Mr. and Mrs. Adams was far away. Shaking his head, he looked at Hilda who was clutching onto him like a koala.Carrying Hilda, Nathan walked out of the hotel through the back and called Stanley to meet them at the back parking lot. Arriving, Stanley was shocked when he saw Hilda in his bosses arms. He hurriedly opened the back door for his boss. As he started the ignition and moved out of the parking lot, he asked "S- Sir, what is wrong with Madam?"Nathan's eyes darkened. As Nathan's cold gaze met his, Stanley immediately let out a silly chuckle. "Where are we headed now Sir?"Just as Nathan was about to speak to Nathan, he saw two Land Rovers coming on to them through the rear view mirror. Nathan immediately asked Stanley to drive to his residence after which he called Samuel. "Samuel, I'm on the Lagos Avenue road now and there seems to be a few cars tailing after me. One of the cars number plate is xxxxxxxx
Looking at her who was in a daze, Nathan become sad. He thought she might have at least known that it was him. But to his dismay, she couldn't even recognize him.Pulling her hands off him, Nathan was about to walk into the bathroom when Hilda called out to him with sobs. "Nathan..., you are my husband but you are leaving me.. sob, sob. You are bad."Hearing her voice, Nathan stopped midway, turned around and starred at her. An inexplicable emotion surged up within him. She knows it me. "Hilda, do you really want this?"Getting up from the bed, Hilda tried walking up to him but ended up falling back on the bed. "I want you." Nathan walked back to the bed, held her head and said. "Hilda, you started this." Before lowering his lips to kiss her. Hilda let out a moan when their lips touched and then locked her hands on his neck like a koala clinging onto a tree.Kissing passionately with breathe huffing in their mouth, Nathan picked Hilda up and placed her on the bed carefully. Trailing
Three months later, the five generations of the huge family were gathered happily together in Nathan's Villa of the Imperial. Old Master Clemon, who was still alive and kicking, held in his arms junior Klaus with a broad smile on his face, while Zis was also all smiles as he held the other junior Klaus. Nathan was staring at Klaus hostilely. "Mr. Klaus, pardon me, but I'll make sure to cut you up into pieces if you get any closer to my daughter!" He held a chilly gaze while asserting his presence. All of a sudden, there was a fierceness about him. However, Klaus only gave him a smirk. "Haha, I don't think you have any say in this, Mr. Clemon." On the contrary, Connie seemed to side with Klaus, as she began chiding Nathan. "You should keep your mouth shut! The kids know what they're doing!" Although Nathan seemed to have backed down, he was still glaring at Klaus. Without warning, Zis, who was the eldest of the in laws, put on a stern look on his face while lecturing Connie, "M
Just like that? Why does she sound so nonchalant about it? My daughter was only six years old when she slept with a twenty year old guy! As her mother, shouldn't she have stopped her? "Times have changed. Besides, the kids are all grown up now, so isn't it normal to have desires? Don't you worry, as I gave her detailed guidance beforehand, as well as showed her educational videos to teach her more about sex." Hilda explained. Nathan's face blanched, wanting to just faint once more. However, Hilda went on. "Linux even developed a condom that helps relieve the pain, as well as increase the pleasure one experiences during sexual intercourse. It will also alert the users if it detects a virus. Besides, Klaus did a checkup beforehand to ensure that he was clean." "I also told him to be careful so as to not hurt Luna before I agreed to let them have sex." There was a livid expression on Nathan's already pale face. Has the world undergone so much transformation during the past ten year
Justin stood in a corner in abjection before suddenly laughing in a self deprecating manner. He turned around to look for Anne, only to find her still actively trying to approach Luna in an attempt to strike up a conversation with her. Never in her wildest dreams had she expected the girl to be Luna Clemon, the daughter of a security guard whom she despised. After Klaus entered the venue, he didn't even spare a glance at the other ladies present for the occasion, save for Luna, the girl who was the center of attention. As the main protagonist who made her appearance after everybody else, the ball began after Luna showed up. She led the first dance with Giry, who moved in a coquettish manner throughout the entire dance due to how elated he was. After the first dance, some of the guests left the floor to get some rest, while others continued dancing after switching partners. Giry was forced to let go of Luna after that and wait for the next dance on the sidelines as he shouldn't be
There were a lot of prestigious people present for the occasion, including male guests who were members of royal families. Klaus Adams, whom Justin didn't manage to meet, would also be there, so he could seize the opportunity to connect to people of status. Luna won't be able to provide me with such an opportunity. He took a sip out of his wine to forget the feelings of bitterness within him while he admitted his defeat. I don't belong to Luna, nor is the opposite possible, as we belong to two different worlds. All of a sudden, there was a commotion in the hall as the hosts from Smith Group showed up. Jerome Bowen and Connie Frimpong were the ones to show up first, whereas Hilda Adams and Linux Jordan followed behind. They're here! The crowd moved in their direction with anticipation in their minds. The main protagonist will be here soon! The girl who has a net worth of hundreds of billions, as well as being the heir of prestigious families including the Damien Family, the Clemon
Anne also received an invitation to attend the ladies' ball, which was something that someone at the bottom of the social pyramid would never get to know and join in on, they practically lived in two different worlds. It wasn't until then that he knew how different they were. While Justin would never eat street food with Luna, her current boyfriend was willing to do so. Gritting his teeth, Justin left without a word, as if having made a decision. This time, he was finally able to leave her behind, even if they met each other again in the future, he would treat her like a stranger. There was a time when he used to want to spend his life with Luna, as he never met someone as intelligent and kind as her. Even if she was no better than other people, she was at least better than Anne in both regards. However, they could never get together. His family would never agree to the match due to the fact that Luna couldn't help his family climb the social ladder like how Anne could. It wasn't
A month later, the military training ended with Giry having bruises all over his face. On the other hand, both Luna and Klaus had a tan when they returned. They had also gotten to the stage of holding hands all the time with each other. As usual, Connie maintained her deathly glare when she met Klaus. She had arranged a group of people to join the military training, hoping that they could teach Klaus a lesson, but all of them wound up being intimidated by him. Geez! That bunch of cowards! Even Connie herself was beginning to acknowledge that she no longer stood a chance against Klaus by now, say less of anybody else. She was getting older, so it was time to hand things over to the next generation. Now, Klaus was the young, determined, and ambitious one, whereas Connie had aged, so she was no longer the former's opponent. Therefore, she could only watch as Klaus dated her granddaughter. After the military training, Luna's eighteenth birthday was approaching fast, which would mark
Jumping with joy, Luna latched herself to Yaa. "Marie! When did you arrive?" Yaa warmed up to Luna upon seeing the latter. "We'll be welcoming the freshers today. They seem to be a little disobedient! How dare a bunch of newbies be so arrogant?" The girls walked away while they chatted, but Yaa didn't speak with Klaus when they saw each other, as they both considered it sufficient as a greeting when they exchanged looks earlier. Therefore, Klaus pushed his bike while walking beside the girls as they spoke, all the while mentally exclaiming on how Yaa had bloomed into her true self by staying with the Cannons, that was where she truly belonged. Yaa was feared among the freshers. Furthermore, Justin Clark had his name called out directly by her earlier, so he almost burst into tears out of his intense fear for her. At that moment, Adwoa appeared out of nowhere to scare him. "Aha! You're done for! The general called for you! Justin, you should be prepared! The following month will b
The moment Connie's words were heard, Luna's reaction was the most intense. "Grandma, what do you mean by that? Why are you talking about him being worthy or otherwise? We're just friends!" Although we... we kissed the other time, neither of us ever brought that day up again. Therefore, they were still at the beautiful stage where things were fuzzy. Hence, Connie's proclamation burst the bubble, making the situation exceedingly awkward. Klaus, who was eating, stilled for a moment, but he said nothing. Upon seeing this, Connie was in seventh heaven. Finally, I've found his Achilles heel! Putting on her authoritative air as an elder, she loftily asserted, "My granddaughter will never marry a man who doesn't even have a high school diploma." All at once, the atmosphere turned awkward, and Luna's face flushed bright red from mortification. At this time, Hilda hurriedly smoothed things over, exclaiming, "What are you saying, mom? What's this about marrying and all?" She should at last l
The old son in law was indeed zealous, for he brought back gifts for everyone, including Jerome, Connie, and Luna's uncles. Despite Connie's staring match with Klaus earlier, she hugged her gift to her chest, reluctant to put it down for even a second. Klaus's gift to her was a handwritten score from her favorite pianist back when she was young, so she truly loved it. Meanwhile, Adwoa got a set of Western European non mainstream fashionable clothes, and she seemed besotted as well. Klaus even had gifts for Luna's friends, including Giry, Dean, and the others. He distributed the gifts one by one. At the end of it, he took out a tiny gift and waved a beckoning hand toward the back of the house. "Kater!" Woof! A husky scampered out in a mad flurry. Then, Klaus unwrapped the gift to reveal an adorable ball. Gratified, Kater left with it in its mouth. "Tangerine! Orange! Lemon! Gordon! Goldstein!" Upon hearing their names, the few orange cats padded over, meowing all the way. Klaus
