On the way, Kyle said suddenly, "Teddy, the man you guys suspected to be married to Hilda's mom before this, has a mining business in Africa. It seems like his castle is not very far away from here. He's the uncrowned king of Africa. Perhaps we should pay him a visit?"Putting down the sales record in his hands, Nathan raised his eyebrow. Indeed, they should pay him a visit.Besides, he wanted to investigate the Teddy Jordan Family too.The Jordan Family was an ancient and mysterious family residing in Eastern Europe. They had been established over several hundred years ago, and Nathan had heard of them when he was younger. There was a time where he even thought that they were the legendary vampires described in fictions.The Jordan Group was involved in various businesses such as electronics, mining, crude oil and so on. They were very influential in Africa, controlling numerous large metal mining factories in the country.The family was like a de facto emperor in Africa as they esta
After the three exchanged brief greetings, they sat down."It's a pity that our schedules aren't aligned. My father went back to his hometown to settle some family business, and I think he will only be back after three months. If both of you are still here by then, my father will definitely visit you in person."The Jordan Family was the oldest family in Eastern Europe. They were also an influential and noble family as well. One could see the unusual level of sophistication and education it offered to its family members from the way Linux presented himself. Linux was a humble, courteous and charming gentleman.Nathan smiled and said, "It's a bit too much visiting us in person himself. I'm sure there'll be other opportunities for us to meet in the future if we can't make it this time."He glanced around the surrounding casually without drawing too much attention to himself. The spacious living room looked really grand and sophisticated with exquisite paintings gracing the walls. The be
When night came, Nathan returned to his hotel after a day's work. To their surprise, they saw someone standing in an empty spot in the gardens at the back of the hotel.That person had a full length mirror placed under a street lamp and was rehearsing some kind of lines and and actions. Looking closely, Nathan noticed it was Juliana Hawkins. The lady Hilda had paid to sleep with Daniel after which Nathan gave her a deal in his entertainment group. She was filming in Africa and it just turned out that the film crew were all staying in the same hotel as Nathan. It was night so Nathan knew she was on break and she would have very little time to rest, but Juliana was still using whatever limited break time she had to practice her craft. It was something to commend, and it was fortunate that such a hard working actress was cast for the lead role.Seeing that Nathan had returned, Juliana walked up to him, "Mr. Clemon, someone was looking for you in the hotel lobby." She already knew she wa
This container of soup was practically an opportunity that had fallen from the heavens!Diana brought the soup back to her room. An aromatic scent wafted from the container when she opened it. Indeed, the container was filled with delicious smelling chicken soup. She was so hungry that she was drooling, but she still tamped down on that voracious desire of hers.She quickly blow dried her hair and carefully put her makeup on before taking a nice selfie of herself while holding the container of soup, making sure that her face and the soup were clearly shown in the photo. She then used a photo editing app to airbrush her blemishes and edited the photo. After half an hour of editing, she even managed to nearly remove all traces of texture on the chunks of chicken floating in the soup. With that, she uploaded the heavily edited photo onto her Twitter and Instagram stories.As she sipped on the soup, she typed out a caption. 'Thank you so much for the chicken soup, Mr. Clemon. Everyone, pl
Meanwhile, Briana scrolled through the news at the Cannon compound after coming back from Africa. There was no mistaking it. The soup in Diana's post was the soup she had made.Briana recognized the container. She had given it to Nathan, so how did it make its way to Diana's hands?Was Nathan married to Diana?Was Diana that wife of his which Nathan had not revealed to the public?How could he possibly fall for some online influencer?!Nonetheless, the soup she had made was indeed with Diana, and the background was that of a hotel room. Not only that, it had been posted during night time in Africa.Why would Nathan's things show up in another woman's room in the middle of the night...Briana's face turned stony.However, Hilda's face was far more stony than Briana's.She had completely lost interest in watching TV during her hospital stay. Instead, she glued herself to her phone as she read the news. Her home pages were all filled with headlines such as 'Nathan and Diana' and 'Nathan
Hilda had only eaten a few spoonful of soup when she felt her face burn. Perhaps the soup was too hot. Between sips of soup, she would look up at David and see him smile at her. That smile was truly gentle and pretty.What a beautiful man!His lovely eyes gazed at Hilda while he smiled gently again. Hilda's face reddened even more, and the air was unusually tense. She looked at Nuella from the corner of her eyes. Hey there, stupid, why aren't you bailing me out of here?Nuella didn't understand Hilda's wishes at all. To her, David was practically a wimp. How could he possibly be a match against Nathan? Nathan already had his claws in Hilda. If David thought that he could worm his way in, then he was still years away from actually being able to do It! Hilda was fated to be with Nathan forever! If Hilda wouldn't even take a second look at Rex, how would she take a shine to this wimp named David?The large ginger cat seemed to have heard Hilda's prayers as it wriggled out of Nuella's arm
Tired from overworking himself, Nathan had immediately rushed over as soon as he stepped off the plane. He had his sunglasses and mask on as he placidly carried Hilda over his shoulders down the hospital corridor under the strange looks of everyone there. As Hilda yelled at him from his back, he patted her butt and said, "Quiet down. It's embarrassing.""So you do know that it's embarrassing! If it's embarrassing to you, then put me down right this instant!""Now!" Hilda kicked her feet like an angry little critter, but she reined in her strength since she was worried about injuring Nathan.Nathan strode down the corridor quickly. He was about to enter the elevator when David and Nuella finally came charging over from behind. "Who are you? Let her go!"Nathan looked back to glance at David.Nathan had seen him before in one of Hilda's Instagram stories. He gave a cold snort and carried Hilda into the elevator.David chased after them, but unfortunately, the doors had already closed. H
Meanwhile, an unprecedented war took place in the master bedroom, from the bed to the carpet, the balcony, the shower, the dressing room, the gym, the bathroom....When Hilda woke up the next day, she felt that her body wasn't her own. Her head hurt, her teeth hurt, her tongue hurt, her throat hurts, even her hips, butt, chest, stomach and legs hurt. It hurt even to go to the toilet. She was like a robot that was seldom used, and the sudden exertion forced her rusty parts to screech against each other painfully, but she was not allowed the time to get used to it.Last night, Nathan had practically been like a beast as he took her. So vicious he was in his conquest that they ended up going through quite a few condoms. Sitting up was painful, and standing up was also painful, not to mention lying gown on her back, her front, or even on her side. Hilda wished she was dead as she pressed a pillow to her belly, sobbing quietly with her face buried in another pillow as she regretted her cho
