Nathan turned around held onto the bag of ice and said nothing. Later, he entered the study, switching on his computer and logging onto his messenger. Sure enough, he saw Hilda online. Nathan logged into his messenger and started to chat with Hilda.'Hun." He greeted.However, Hilda didn't reply to him.Not willing to give up, he messaged her again. 'Pumpkin.' Still, he didn't receive any reply. 'Hilda! Hil!Hunny! My darling! My princess...'He waited for more than ten minutes but Hilda didn't type a word back.After Hilda was done with some files, she was finally willing to speak. 'Do you know what you've done wrong?'Nathan replied, 'I shouldn't have fought. I made a mistake and I won't do it again next time. Hun, I beg you to forgive my sins.''Is there going to be a next time?'Nathan quickly replied, "I wouldn't dare! From now on, when I see William, I will definitely take a detour.''Nathan, you're a b*stard!''Yes, I am a b*stard!'It wasn't until the middle of the night when
Nathan looked at her but she didn't answer even after a long time. At that moment, only the night lights were switched on in the room and all they could hear was the pitter patter of the rain from outside. The sound came in waves and it was steady and quiet, but it filled their world completely.Hearing the sound of rain, Hilda's worries gradually calmed but she was still in a daze. One is an unforgettable relationship and the other is simple and warm.Must I only choose one?Even though he will always remember an unforgettable relationship, it will go by in a flash and wouldn't last forever. A simple and warm relationship can last a long time but it seems to be missing some excitement and passion. Love would then become as plain as daily necessities and like rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, and tea, it will eventually deteriorate. All the passion and excitement will be gradually worn away and disappear with time. Meanwhile, Nathan kept his head lowered, waiting for Hilda's answer.In
"Hey, Mason! I have come to visit today." The elder said excitedly as soon as he saw Mark. Hearing this, Mark stroked the cat in his arms in frustration and replied, "Mason? I'm Mark!"When Mark saw the elder of the Damien family, he felt an unbearable heartache. However, after one look at the girl beside him, Mark wasn't sure how to feel. The Damien family was full of cunning people.Tehilla, who was standing to one side, watched the two old men communicate like idiots. The corner of her lips curled into a mocking grin and her eyes were filled with impatience. If it weren't for Mark, a well known warrior across the land of Taadi and a powerful man in the Cannon family, she wouldn't waste her time with these two. After hiding the disgust and impatience in her eyes, Tehilla smiled brightly as she opened the chessboard and said, "Old Master Cannon, it's me, Tehilla Damien. It's been a long time since I last played chess with you. How about a game of chess right now?"Tehilla had played
Soon it was dinner time. Mark quickly made a call to Rex to bring Hannah and join them to have dinner. It wasn't long before Rex arrived with Hannah in tow. He was still wearing the suit he put on for the business meeting and looked elegant. But as they got closer, they notice the elder throwing a tantrum.Rex walked over worriedly and quickly held onto the elder, who was still throwing a tantrum. Before Tehilla hurriedly got his medicine and handed it to him.Rex seemed to be used to these situations as he hurriedly brought a glass of water for his medicine.Seeing this, Tehilla started to panic. Having no other choice, she decided to bring the elder home. "Mr. Damien, let's go back home. Come, let's head home!"Everyone was anxious and Tehilla just wanted to leave.Initially, she was planning to ask Mark for clues but the sudden episode ruined everything. Bringing this silly old man here was the worst decision ever.Tehilla took a step forward and was prepared to ask her bodyguard
The military compound was the Cannon's' turf, so Hilda was not worried about her safety at all. Just by taking a couple of steps back, someone would immediately jump out to stop Tehilla's bodyguards.Sure enough, the bodyguard had only taken two steps when he felt a gust of cold wind and then a cold, black muzzle was pressed against his head. Horrified, he turned and saw that a uniformed man had appeared behind him silently with a pistol aimed at the back of his head. "Don't move!" The man warned in a cold tone.As this was Taadi City's military compound, it was unlikely that a person who was wearing his military rank on his shoulders would turn out to be an imposter. Thus, the bodyguard thought twice before raising his hands in surrender.With that, William kept away his gun and ordered for the bodyguard to be taken away. When Tehilla saw him, she was stunned and thought to herself, How on earth can this imposter have the guts to show up? Isn't he afraid that he'll be exposed?After
After they left the area, Rex went in the direction of the military compound, taking the dog out for a walk after dinner to aid it's digestion, while Hilda went the opposite direction where the supermarket was. Before parting ways, Rex couldn't help but assure her, "Don't be stressed out because of the amulet. I'll try to persuade the Damien's to give up on it. And there is also Nathan so there is nothing to be worried about."Nodding her head, she watched as he left.After they parted ways, Rex was still happily reminiscing about the bottle of wine from the cellar on the way back to the military camp. It was so good that just a sip of it was enough to satisfy him for half a lifetime! How wonderful it would be if Nathan opens a bottle of his wine from his cellar collection every day!As he continued walking forward, the setting sun cast long silhouettes of two men and a dog. Despite being so close together on the ground, their shadows could never overlap, just like the gap separating
After getting out of the car, they dashed in as quickly as possible. It was already dark and in the small abandoned factory, the stench of blood was overwhelming. A few steps into the factory and about a few feet ahead of him, Rex could see a few men lying on the ground, their blood pooling into a river.It was as though an intense war had broken out and the two cars which were parked here were ridden with bullet holes. Some as big as the size of a fist, which went to show how brutal the enemy was!But that was only on the outside. The people who were lying flat on their stomachs were also ridden with holes, their blood and flesh splattered all over and human parts strewn everywhere. Just taking a step would cause one's feet to be drenched in sticky blood.Looking at the scene, Nathan's face turned even more grim and his hands began to shake uncontrollably. No!This cannot be happening!She must be alive!She has to be!Frantically, Rex went through the dead bodies spread out all ove
In the chaos, he saw a few bags of cat food scattered around, Hilda's cell phone, which was trampled to pieces, and her wallet. Opening the wallet, he found a picture of himself, which was soaked in blood. Looks like they were kidnapped after coming out of the supermarket, he concluded.The scene was too tragic. Except for Nuella who escaped as she was left in a corner after being knocked out and wasn't in the enemy's shooting range, there was nobody left alive and even the dead couldn't be pieced back completely.Rushing in, Johnathan scanned the bodies and saw that they were all men from the Damien family from their clothing. "It's Hex!" He informed Nathan.Hearing that, Nathan stopped wondering because he knew that only Hex could do such a brutal thing.Only him!He wished more than ever that he was the one who had joined the operation to wipe out the Hex and also the one who had accompanied Hilda out to buy pet food. Unfortunately, there was no way to reverse the time. Trying to k
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
