Hilda was indeed taken back by the price. 'Five thousand and fifty five dollars!' that was just too much for just a bag. She just quit her job and had already wasted enough money after she came back from overseas.How is she going to fork out five thousand and fifty five dollars! She stared at Gloria not knowing how to refute. At this time, her phone rang as she received a notification.She thought it was Naima who was impatient but to her surprise, it was a message from Nathan which stated. "Sorry Pumpkin. I forgot to debit your account. Now it is done. You can use it for anything you may need. I promise to give you a card later tonight. Kisses."Hilda was amazed as she smiled.When Gloria saw the smile on her face she became furiously. "How dare you smile after ruining my bag?"Hilda snorted. "What? I can't smile anymore just because your bag is ruined? Tell me your account details let me send the money to you." Although Hilda didn't want to use the money Nathan had sent, that was t
Several people were approaching with a woman in the center who was wearing a tailor made dress which accentuated her statuesque body. Her heels contrasted the gleaming marble floor.'Oh my..' Hilda gasped. Not her again. The lady that arrived at the shop and had caught everyone's attention in a fraction of a second was none other than Carmen, her sister. No step sister. And standing right beside Carmen was none other than Gloria, the lady she had a fight with earlier in front of the restaurant.As Carmen was a model, she was well none within the entertainment industry. And Gloria was also quite famous among the socialite diva's as she was the president of the Sanchez Entertainment media.As if sensing someone's gaze on her, Carmen turned to look at her. Hilda's heart skipped a beat that she turned her head back and stared back at the dress. She shut her eyes and prayed in desperation. 'God please let her not see me! Please let her not see me."Only then did something hit Hilda. She o
Never had Carmen suffered such mockery as she was treated like a princess in the Adams family and all who knew her treated her with utmost respect. She was seething in anger as she held her swollen cheeks.She glared furiously at Naima but didn't dare to say anything when she saw Naima and Hilda coming out of the dressing room and walked out of the mall. "Are you letting her go just like that?" Gloria asked Carmen rather puzzled. "Look at how she hit you but you letting her walk away just like that?""I'm not letting her walk away. As you can see I'm no match for her but I would make sure she pays for hitting me." Carmen's gaze darkened as she spoke.Gloria nodded in response before asking. "And who is that girl with her to you? How do you know her?""She is my sister""Your sister?" Gloria was puzzled."Yes. She is my sister." Carmen didn't want to talk to Gloria about Hilda at that moment so she took out her card and handed it to the sales lady after saying that. "Swipe it"After p
Hilda felt uneasy as Nathan still haven't asked about the incident that happened at the mall. When she came downstairs after her shower Nathan was already busy with work in his study.She went ahead and knocked on the door."Come in." Came a deep and sexy voice.She hesitated before walking in. "You are still working?" She scratched her head and asked."Yes. But let's go." With that Nathan packed his document and got ready to head out but Hilda stood in front of him and blocked his path. "Erm.. about the news from earlier. It wasn't as it was reported..."Nathan didn't wait for her to finish before interrupting her. "I know."Hilda stared at him. What does he mean by he knows? What does he know? She had no idea that Nathan had a bodyguard following her after the chase the last time so she was surprise. "What do you know?""I have a bodyguard following you as I didn't want anyone harming you." Nathan calmly replied.Hilda took it the wrong way. She was angry after hearing what Nathan s
Nathan's growl made her lose courage to continue with wriggling out of his arms. He sounded kind of pissed.That worked. Nathan thought.When they got to the cinema, he placed her down and looked around. 'No bad' he thought.He then turned to her. "Pumpkin, what do you want to see? Or is there any new movie out you really want to see?"Hilda shook her head as she looked around the cinema. "No, not really but look." She pointed at a random movie flyer plastered on the cinema wall before continuing. "Let's try that."It was a action romance movie with the title. The CEO's Bride which featured Christopher Anderson. As an award winning actor, Christopher had a large fan base and any of the movies he shoots in becomes a hit.At the moment, The CEO'S Bride was a new movie he featured in which was released on that same day.Hilda who was a great fan of his immediately pointed out at the movie randomly.Nathan stared at the cast and was amused. Turns out it is you. He thought.Agreeing on the
They then turned their attention to the screen. Nathan had the popcorn in his hand while Hilda just sat there admiring the movie. At this time the image of Christopher who was shirtless appeared on the screen.When Hilda saw his perfect body physique, her jaws dropped open and she thought, 'Oh my God, he looks so hot.'When Nathan noticed that Hilda was admiring Christopher, his gaze darkened. He then picked some popcorns and placed it in her mouth. Hilda looked at him and turned her eyes back to the screen then chewed on the popcorn. Nathan's expression was grim. "What's so nice about him that you keep staring?""Huh, what do you mean by that? Can't you see how hot he his. Look at his abbs.." Hilda didn't finish her sentence when she felt that the air around them at dropped and it was tense that it felt like it was suffocating her. She turned to look at Nathan and saw that his gaze had darkened as if he wanted to kill someone.Hilda shuddered at his expression.Nathan tried his best
Early the next morning at the hospital, Gloria, Mr. and Mrs. Clemons and other family members of the Clemon family were at the hospital after they received the news that the Patriarch was awake.Currently they were all waiting outside the ward as the doctor's checked up on him. Gloria looked around and didn't notice Nathan so she turned to Mrs. Clemon and asked. "Aunt, why is Nathan not her yet?" It has been more than an hour since Mrs. Clemon called Nathan and the latter said he would be here. But till now he wasn't here yet.Mrs. Clemon smiled at Gloria and said. "Maybe he is caught up with something. Don't worry he would be here soon.""Okay Aunt." Gloria said sweetly.At the same time footsteps was heard as someone was walking towards the corridor. Mrs. Clemon turned and noticed her son. "Here he is." She pointed behind Gloria.Gloria turned only to see Nathan who was in high spirit walk towards them. She frowned. What happened to Nathan today that he looks all happy.Nathan who b
"Grandpa, there is nothing between Gloria and I" He replied calmly although he was burning with fury at the fact that every one wanted him to get married to Gloria."You know that you are my favorite grandson and I won't do anything to harm you. Gloria is the best match for you. As you know I already promised her grandfather that you guys would be married before all those things happened." The Patriarch sighed as he said all these.He then continued. "As you already know, she is a good girl and she also hails from a family with equal standing as ours. Marrying her, you would be able to take the Clemons Group to another level with no one being a threat.""Grandpa, I have heard all what you said, but Gloria and I ain't meant to be. What happened that year is enough for you to know that we ain't meant to be. And if it is the Clemons Group you are worried about, then feel free and relax. Everything is under my control." Nathan replied in a monotone."Nate, you know I don't have much time
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
