The doctor shook his head. "We tried our best but his health is very poor at the moment. I advise you to brace yourselves for the worst.""What do you mean by that?" Nathan's uncle, Mr. Richard Clemon asked."His health has been detoriating for the past years. As at now he is in a coma and if he doesn't wake up in the next seventy two hours..." The doctor didn't continue but they all understood what he meant.When Nathan heard the doctors words, he took a few steps back and lean on the corridor wall. His grandfather was the one who brought him up and thought him all he knew now. Although his parents are still alive.Nathan mother is a rather weak woman who has acute leukemia. As she has being going for chemotherapy and radiotherapy session, Nathan's dad spent most of his time with her and whenever she was in a healthy shape, they travel around the world.Since a possible cure is not available at that moment there is a risk that the lack of healthy blood cells might make her extremely
Tears streamed down her face as she watched the man she had called dad for the past 19 years turn to be a stranger walk away.Meanwhile inside Hilda's room, Rex sat on her bed as he looked around the small bedroom. The hue of the bedroom was sky blue. There was a round bed, a dressing table, closet, and desk all which had a little color of blue in it.He sat on the bed patiently as he waited for Hilda. Since the Adams family has already promise to make Hilda accompany him for the night, he knew there was no need for him to rush. Sitting on the bed, he began fiddling with his cufflinks.Tears were still streaming down Hilda's face as she sat in the large hall looking at nothing really in particular. The mere thought of being sent to Rex's bed was suffocating her. But thinking about the fact that she would get to know who her biological family were, she became conflicted.Although the temptation of getting to know her biological family was strong, there was also unwillingness for her to
At this time, the bar was packed with people with a little dim light. Mr. Rex and Hilda walked inside.Hilda's pretty face was a little pale. Her gaze was filled with worry and solemn emotions after all Nathan was no where in sight and Mr. Rex was still clinging onto her.Thinking about the troubles she was going to face and how her life was going to come to an end, Hilda quivered."Hilda why are you acting timid?" Rex complained when he noticed how stiff Hilda was acting. His brows immediately knitted as a thick frown formed on his face. Hilda then smiled at him and said sweetly. "No, I am not timid. It is just that it is too packed in here."Rex could not help but start laughing. "This place is always packed like this. This place charges at least ten thousand per person. What a steal for a hillbilly like you. Don't worry. Today, you will get to see various aspects of society."Hilda took a deep breath as she soothe her angry emotions. Who did he think he his? Just because he his th
Shaking her head, Hilda didn't dare to say anything but just stared at Nathan who was standing in front of them.Rex also noticed the fearful expression she had on when she looked at Nathan who was currently standing in front of them. He eyed him and snorted before trying to walk pass him but Nathan stood in front of him again. Angered by him Rex roared. "Hey, what do you mean by what you are doing? Move out of the way." With that he tried to walk pass Nathan again and he was blocked yet again.Fuming, Rex pointed at Nathan and said. "Do you know who I am? You wouldn't want to mess with me if you do so move out of my way." As it was a norm at Kiki Bees, your woman come be taken away if one wants to. More like survival of the fittest. If anyone takes an interest to your woman, then you got to fight back if only you can.Without bordering to answer him, Nathan took Hilda by the other hand and tried to walk out with her.Seeing what was happening Rex was boiling with rage. He then tighte
In her apartment, as soon as they got inside, she launched onto the sofa forgetting that Nathan was actually following right beside her.She was tired after what went on during the day. Seems like she is a b*stard with no family. Would Nathan divorce her if he found out about it? Thinking about this, she totally forgot about the main reason why she was back at her apartment. Nathan stared at her as he leaned on the door. Taking in all the changes in her expression. What did she go through this past few hours when I left for the hospital?Looking at the packed luggage's, Nathan cleared his throat and said in a much gentler tone. "Pumpkin, are you taking all this along?""Huh?" That was when Hilda recalled her reason for coming back to her apartment. "Yes.""But they are far too much or what do you think?" The apartment isn't that spacious but she got so many stuffs. Nathan thought to himself."How about this, we would still be renting the place so why not just take the most important
Nathan Residence.The car came to a stop and the body guards carried all the luggage's inside. Hilda and Nathan followed suit each having a bag in their hands. Although Hilda left most of her stuffs in her apartment, the stuffs she brought over to Nathan's residence weren't small either.The boxes she came along with were placed in the guest room were as the luggage's were placed in the master's bedroom."It's late now but I have something to attend to. I might come back late so you don't have to wait for me." Nathan said to Hilda."Okay I understand.""The bodyguards would be outside so in case you need anything you just have to let them know. If there is nothing else, I would get going now." With that Nathan turned around and walked out of the bedroom.Watching him leave, Hilda wanted to say something but she didn't know how to voice it out. She stood rooted to the spot till she heard the sound of a car revving in the garage before walking to the window. 'Thank you.' She whispered t
At the hospital, The members of the Clemon's family took turns in the ward of the Patriarch. Nathan who was currently in the room sighed when he noticed how pale his grandfather was.The old man was lying on the hospital bed with all kind of tubes and apparatuses inserted into his skinny and frail body.The mere sight of him lying down like this broke his heart. "Grandpa.." Nathan said in a soft whisper.Looking at the emotionless old man who didn't respond to him once again, Nathan could not help but feel every kind of sadness. Although his facial expression didn't reveal anything, he himself knew how he felt deep within him.At his age, instead of being in an ICU ward and suffering all by himself, he should be home being surrounded by his kids and grand kids smiling and laughing it off in the back yard garden.Although it appears to be like he was receiving every possible means of comfort, it was still far different.Nevertheless, it was a good thing since his dad had noticed him ea
"Aunt, you shouldn't be polite. How is grandpa though?" Gloria said rather shyly.Hearing her question, Mrs. Leah Clemons sighed. "As you can see. He is unconscious now. We are all hoping for him to open his eyes in the next forty eight hours or else..." Mrs. Leah didn't continue her sentence.Mr. Damian Clemon also added. "Dad would be fine so you shouldn't worry.""I sincerely hope he does or I wouldn't know how Nathan would feel." At that, she then spoke up again as if she had just remembered something. "Aunt, where is Nathan?""Nathan left for home last night. I think he should be on his way here now." Mrs. Leah Clemons replied. "Okay then. I would wait for him here then. Aunt why don't you take this time and leave for home. I would keep grandpa company. You can go rest for a while. I would be here." Gloria then said sweetly.Mr. and Mrs. Clemon looked at Gloria with gaze which showed how fond they were of her.Mrs. Clemons then though. What an adorable child. If it wasn't what h
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
