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
