Walking out of the hotel, tears started streaming down her face. Although she had been holding back the tears just now in the ballroom, she couldn't help but cry out uncontrollably.
Her boyfriend for four years cheated on her. Hailing a taxi, she headed back to her apartment. She couldn't help herself as she cried in the taxi. The driver asked where she was off to. With tears and snot on her face, she told him.Arriving, she took out a wet tissue and wiped the tears and snort before getting down. Walking upstairs, she entered her apartment.As soon as she shut the door behind her, she sat on the floor and reminisced on how her relationship for the four years has been.The happy memories in the first two years, how Daniel showered her with love all those times and even when she was leaving for her studies, the pendant he had given to her that was suppose to take care of her till she was back.All this time she was away, Daniel had been calling her for the first six months, but from then on whenever she called he was either busy or cannot be reached.Never in her wildest dreams did she think Daniel would be cheating on her with someone else. And even if he did cheat on her why couldn't it be any other person but her stepsister the person she hated the most.After shedding tears for sometimes, she lay flat on the floor with her eyes open staring at nothing in particular. All she felt now was pain as her heart was bleeding.At dusk, she decided to freshen up. As it was already getting late and her apartment has been empty for a while, she decided to clean up and prepared to head for the biggest entertainment center in the city.After freshening up, she then left for the club - a popular one as such Kiki Bees.....In the club, she recalled a statement which goes as 'the best place to be on a cold and harsh night to have fun is always the club'.Although she wasn't the party type, and wasn't that used to the place, she was okay as long as she downed some wine.She leaned on the bar counter downing one glass after another. After a while, someone came to sit beside her and asked "Miss, Are you alone?"She looked at him and turned her eyes away. The man then ordered two shots of wine and gave one to her.Drinking it, the man then placed his hand on her shoulder and rubbed her shoulders.Feeling his touch, she shuddered for a moment and said "Piss off".He looked at her and continued to rub her shoulders. "How about I keep you company tonight.".Pushing the hand off her shoulder, she shouted again "Piss off".The man smiled at her and said "Wow, you are really fierce. I like fierce girls. Besides, any lady who says piss off actually wants me to stay. I know your mouth is saying piss off, but in your mind, you want me to stay... Haha.."Pushing him away, she tried to move away but ended up leaning on him. As that the man laughed and said. "Haha... I knew you wanted me to stay".As the man was trying to harass her, she got up again but staggered due to the wine and ended up leaning on him again. With that, the man tried to kiss her.Pushing him, she yelled yet again "Piss off." Holding the chair, she staggered finding her way out.As she tried to move, the man signaled someone and she was surrounded. Moving closer to her he said "Babe, I know you want me."Feeling a chill run down her spine, she felt cold all over. "What did you put in the drink? You drugged me."Without waiting for his reply, she staggered to a man she saw entering the club.Holding unto him, she said "Save me... Please save me. He wants to take advantage of me."Raising her head to look at the man, she found him dashing. Opening her mouth again, she complimented him. "Wow, you look handsome. Who are you? Do you mind accompanying me for the night?"Since she was drunk, the man didn't say anything but looked to his assistant who then said. "Sir I'm sorry. Didn't know someone would hold unto you as soon as you entered. Let me take her away."Reaching out his hand to pry her from his bosses hand, Nathan Clemon replied. "No need, just take care of them." Stopping his hand in mid air, he was shocked. Boss the clean freak? Shocked as he was, Nathan Clemon spoke again. "What are you waiting for?"With the girl still in front of him, he held her hand and walked towards his private room. Since she was drunk, she was staggering so Nathan carried her in his arms all the way to the elevator.Noticing that she was about to be taken away, the man yelled. "Who the hell are you? I took a liking to her first. Do you know who I am?"Without replying him Nathan entered the elevator.Turning around to look at them, Stanley smirked. "Who do you think you are?""My father is the CEO of Kirkland Group."Paying no heed to him, he continued asking. "Which one of you touched the lady just now?"As one of the men was quick enough to recognize the assistant, he tried to mend the situation. "It's nothing but a misunderstanding. We are sorry."Smiling Stanley sneered. "A misunderstanding? Okay. Boss wants the hand that touched the lady just now to be cut off and used as a souvenir. So next time you won't make that mistake of harrassing a lady."Panicking, they got on their knees.Thump, thump thump Looking at them, Stanley ordered for them to be taken care of by the bodyguards and left merciless without looking back.......Feeling the man's body against hers, she started feeling hot all over. Mumbling under her breath, she said. "It's hot..."Touching the man on his chest as two buttons of his shirt button was open, the man froze for a moment and understood what was happening.Upon arriving in his private room, the man brought her over into the bathroom. Putting her in the bath tub, he turn on the tap.When the water touched her skin, she started crying. "You are a bad man. The water is cold, I don't want to bath bring me out."Looking at her, the man's face darkened but he held back and said. "Don't worry. It won't be for that long. I will take you out soon.""No, no take me out now. You a bad man. You cheated on me now you want to drown me." With tears and snort on her face, she yelled at him.Looking at her who was talking nonsense, Nathan walked out of the bathroom and dialed a number.Speaking on the phone, he said. "Come to Kiki Bees now with some medications."Hanging up, he walked back into the bathroom. After some time, Stanley his assistant walked into the room and said to him. "Sir, it is done."Nodding his head, he asked him to wait for Samuel Fleming at the door and direct him in later.A while later, Stanley entered with Samuel. When he entered, Samuel complained. "What's going on? I just walked out after eight hours of operation and you asked me to rush here." Without replying him Nathan spoke coldly. "Check her out."Entering the bathroom, Samuel was shocked. Smiling he asked "Who is this? Since when did the indifferent and aloof CEO have a soft spot for ladies?"Arching an eyebrow, Nathan said indifferently, "Are you going to check on her or do you want me to make you?"Raising his hand to surrender Samuel said "Easy, easy. It was just a question. Let me check her out."Getting serious Samuel asked . "What happened? Seems like she was drugged and the dose is really high. As I just finished a surgery and rushed here without knowing what really you needed, I didn't bring any antidote for aphrodisia. Get me some ice first."Nodding his head, "Okay." Stanley then walked out.Bringing the bucket of ice, Stanley place it down.Samuel looked at Nathan before saying. "Sh
Looking exasperated, Hilda sneered. "What do you know?"At that very moment, a knock was heard. Calmly Nathan said. "Come in."Walking in Stanley brought a shopping bag. Handing it over to Nathan, "Sir, the dress you requested for."Taking the bag, Nathan handed it to Hilda. "Your dress. You can get changed now."With the bag in her hand, she entered the bathroom.After some time she came out. Noticing that the dress fit her perfectly Nathan smiled.Looking at him who was smiling, she berated. "What's funny?"Shaking his head, he said nothing.Taking her bag she looked at the man and said. "About what happened last night... erm I am grateful but can we act like nothing happened. We are adults after all."Looking at her with a smile on his face he nodded. "Sure, but I want to help you."Noticing the look of confusion on her face he continued. "Don't you want to take revenge? I can help you.""Why would you want to help me?" Hilda asked."Because I want you to be my woman."Dumbfounded
Looking at Carmen who looked pitiful, Daniel couldn't bring himself to hit Hilda and then he slowly placed his hand down.Looking at Hilda, he was at a loss of words. "You why..."Carmen looked at Hilda and said helplessly. "Sis, I'm really sorry. I didn't mean to hurt you but you know Daniel and I really love each other. Why don't you just let it go."Listening to what Carmen was saying Hilda snorted. "I've already blessed you so I don't care about him anymore. As you can see I just came back from town and I'm really tired I want to rest you can leave now." "But sis, we came to check on you we were really worried.""Enough Carmen. I don't want to see any of you."Looking at Hilda in confusion Daniel asked. "Can't we just break up peacefully? Do you have to leave such a bad impression?"Feeling a tinge of pain in her heart Hilda teared up. Looking at the man who she had loved for the past four years, she wasn't expecting him to say that.Trying her best to hold back her tears she glar
At the hospital.Getting out of the car, Nathan decided to carry her again. Sensing what he wanted to do, Hilda backed away saying, "I can walk don't worry." Shaking his head, he watched as she limped into the hospital.In the hospital, Hilda was taken into a ward to be taken care of. Taking this chance, Stanley moved over to Nathan and said. "Sir, about the meeting with the clients from America, they are already waiting for you."With a cold glare he said coldly with a deep meaning "You seem to be regressing Stanley." Ignoring him, he walked into the ward. Noticing him, the doctors bowed respectfully and explained her condition to him."Mr. Nathan, it is nothing serious. She seemed to have sprained her ankle but she is going to be okay after some few days of treatment."Nodding his head, the doctors walked out.Looking at Hilda meaningfully, he said sarcastically. "You can't wait to be my woman so you throw yourself at my car to get my attention, no?"Angrily, Hilda snorted. "Me? Wh
Smiling Nathan said. "You are getting discharged." "Oh okay. Thank you.""My pleasure." Nathan replied looking at Hilda with a smile. Hilda frowned looking at the smile which seems to come with an irresistible charm. For some reasons, she doesn't like him behaving like this around her.Looking at her who was packing up to leave he stated. "I would be waiting for you downstairs."She hurriedly rejected him saying. "I don't want to trouble you Mr. Nathan so I will hail a ride back myself.""You seem to dislike me Miss Adams. Is it that you got a thing for me?" Nathan arched his eyebrow.Feeling annoyed with his way of thinking. "Don't take this the wrong way Mr. Nathan. I just think we should maintain some distance since we are not related. You seem to be very busy, so I won't be bothering you. Good day."Hilda was about to move out of the ward when Nathan grabbed her hand.Nathan squinted, feeling delighted when he saw her blush from anger. "I'm not busy. I would send you back. Beside
Shaking her head, she thought there must be something wrong with him. "What kind of woman was I? Huh? The kind that was meek and docile. The submissive and kind woman who listens to all your orders? The one who calls you 'master' and follows you around like a dog following it's master? You sent me away to further my education since you said my skills would be needed by the company. It was all a plan right? A scheme for you to hook up with my sister when I was away. What happened to us facing trials and tribulations together? Carmen took care of you when I was away so that's fine for you to hook up with her hah."Daniel chipped in. "Do you know what you are saying? How can you think about your sister and I like that? Carmen and I love each other. We fell in love with eac...""That's enough Daniel. I get it. You and Carmen are in love. Just don't keep on saying it. I understand. I won't want to completely crush and ruin the last bit of good impression left if I were you. You disgust me.
Running out, she run as far as she can with her tears still streaming down her face. Arriving at a desolated corner, she sat on the floor with her head in between her knees as she cried.Nathan was driving by him self after a hard day's work when he spotted a tiny little figure sitting on the ground with head buried in her knees. Taking a look, he looked away indifferently as he didn't care. Buh a moment later he felt the person looked familiar. Stepping on the brakes, he stopped the car at the opposite side of the street. Getting out he walked to the other side. Looking at her with head buried between her knees, He felt an inexplicable sadness within him. "Miss Hilda, are you okay?"Raising her head to look at him who was staring at her with a caring gaze, Hilda couldn't help but cry again. Getting up, she hugged him and cried desperately."Looking at her who was hugging him and crying as if she lost everything, he felt his heart tighten. Patting her back, he said to her. "Don't wor
Looking at the details, he frowned. Pushing it aside, he busied himself with work.Nathan finally packed up his work when it was past midnight. He stood on the balcony gazing at the sky. It was deep into the night and his residence was engulfed by complete darkness. His sharp bright eyes looked brighter than usual under the night sky.He passed by the master's bedroom and entered. Hilda was still sleeping peacefully but he decided to watch over her lest her fever became serious overnight.As he stood by the bedside gazing down on Hilda, He noticed her initial scarlet face had now returned to normal. She was looking exquisite.Nathan could tell at first glance that Hilda was a real beauty but he didn't expect her to look this good.With a smile, he pulled the blanket over her with his slender fingers. She looked rather unruly when she slept as her usual demeanor was different. It was too warm for her as she gave the blanket a kick when she felt it revealing her bare shoulders.At that
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
