Nathan drove straight to the hospital. He wasn't sure if Hilda would catch a cold or not so he decided to send her directly to the hospital first. As the members of the Clemon family were at the Clemons family hospital because of the Patriarch's illness, he drove Hilda to Samuel's hospital.Hilda didn't realize that the car had stopped because she was sleeping soundly. Nathan looked at her who had curled her slender figure in the back seat and tightly wrapped in is suit jacket and his ached. It was rare for him to feel this way towards any woman. He gently went ahead and opened the back seat and carried Hilda off the seat and walked towards the hospital corridor.Hilda felt that she had a long dream. The dream was full of brightness instead of the usual darkness of lies, pain and betrayal that she usually had. She dreamt that she was with someone who brought her out of all her darkness. When she saw the person's face, she immediately woke up. The person in the dream was none other
At the Clemon hospital, Gloria was happily having a conversation with the Patriarch when the Patriarch suddenly asked out of the blue. "What do you think about you and Nathan getting married this time around?"Gloria was surprise at first that the Patriarch wanted her to marry Nathan then again she knew no one could get in her way as she was the only powerful woman with both status and power and matched perfectly with Nathan.She shyly lowered her head before sighing. And in a wobbly voice she replied "I have always wanted to get married to Nathan. We grew up together and I have always thought that we would get married. But I didn't know what happened for Nathan to change his mind all of a sudden. Grandpa you know, I am still in love with him. I have always loved him"Hearing her voice that wobbly, that goes up and down as if she was going to cry he held her hand. "Don't worry. Nathan and you would definitely get married. I would do everything in my power to make sure you get married.
The next day, as the sun shone through the window into the ward, the fast asleep Hilda turned and tried to face away from the sun rays ready to fall back asleep when she was suddenly jolted awake by a voice. "Want to get back to sleep again?"She then opened her eyes only to find herself in the hospital ward. She was having a nice dream and had long forgotten to wake up only to be woken up by Nathan. She looked around and spotted Nathan in the sofa going through some files.She then yawned. "Yeah. Good morning.""Good morning. You should hurry and freshen up. We will be leaving after breakfast. You are being discharged"Hilda who hated being in the hospital was happy that they were about to leave but mad at the fact that Nathan had woken her up from her dream.She sulked and got down from the bed before entering into the bathroom to brush her teeth and freshen up. After she was done, they had lunch and Nathan packed up the things he had brought for her that night into a little bag and
Nathan frowned as he though about who his grandpa would be sending to accompany him. He had already told Hilda she would be tagging along side him so the person his grandpa his going to send now?Thinking about it, he didn't know how to break the news to Hilda. He saw a trace of excited flashed passed her eyes when she got to know that it was Christopher's birthday party she was about to attend. The last time at the cinema, she had said that she was a fan of Christopher so she would be happy to meet him and here...He went back to join her in the hall and held her in his embrace. ......The next day, after Hilda have freshened up and taken her break fast, she was about to go out as Naima had asked her to join her for shopping the night before and she had agreed.Before she could walk out of the door Nathan stopped her. "The stylists would be here soon. Where are you off to?""This early?" She was surprised as the party wouldn't start till later in the evening so why are they coming t
When Nathan saw her walking towards him he frowned. He had wanted to snub her but he knew for a fact that his grandfather would berate him if he does. She is my grandfather's guest so I might after all just give her that respect.When she got closer, she stopped right in front of Nathan and that was when Hilda had a clear view of how she looked. she had a long wavy black hair with beautiful blue eyes and wore a red lipstick.Hilda silently praised her. 'Wow, she looks just like a fairy but wait, she frowned, she looks familiar she though. Taking a second look, isn't she that unreasonable lady from the restaurant? 'F*ck! she happens to be Nathan's ex fiancée? How can such an unreasonable woman be his fiancée?. She thought.After the invitation card was given to her and Nathan was asked to be her companion, Gloria went to greater height to choose her dress for the party. She wanted nothing more than to be the prettiest lady of the night.She thought, if she was the prettiest lady of the
"For you" Replied Samuel.Hilda was struck speechless. She looked around and everyone had a glass of something alcoholic be it, wine, liquor, champagne and even cocktail. No one was drinking lemonade so why would Samuel get her lemonade? "Lemonade? Seriously?""Yes. Your husband forbid me to make you drink." Samuel replied. Yes it was Nathan who asked him to make sure Hilda didn't take any alcoholic beverage. Simply, he didn't want her drinking anything alcoholic.Hilda was annoyed but she knew there was no way Samuel would let her take any of the alcoholic beverages and she didn't know how to convince him either.Soon the lemonade was served. She took the drink resignedly and followed Samuel to walk around. As they were walking around, she asked, "Any shows tonight?""Yeah. As you know, Christopher is an actor himself so definitely, there was suppose to be a show." Samuel answered as he twirled his wine in his wine glass.They had barely taken a few steps when someone suddenly called
Samuel calmed his nerves and smiled at Hilda. "Don't think too much into it. She is nothing but a goddess in my heart."Hilda didn't say further and just nodded. At the same time screams were heard as the people at the entrance started calling out Christopher's name."Chris, Chris, Chris..."Since they arrived at the venue, Hilda hadn't seen the birthday celebrant. But hearing the people screaming his name out loud now, she knew he had appeared at the venue.People started paving way for him to enter. Immediately Hilda caught sight of him, she nearly drooled at the sight of him. He looked more dashing in person than on TV. She thought.Nathan who was standing at a corner was currently looking at his wife when he noticed her admiring another man. His gaze darkened.Christopher who had just entered the hall looked around and his eyes fell on Hilda who was standing beside Samuel staring at him admiringly. He was stunned by her beauty.He smiled and walked towards them. Christopher who wa
What is going on with them? They all thought. Gloria stared at Nathan and Hilda who seemed to be having fun as she stepped on him. She clenched her fists with envy evident in her eyes.Samuel pulled Christopher to one side and told him about who Hilda was to Nathan. He looked at Samuel like he was about to cry and asked. "Why didn't you tell me about it earlier? I nearly walked into the lion's den.""I tried to tell you but you weren't getting any of my hints." Samuel replied. That was when Christopher recalled that Samuel was trying to send him signals with his eyes but he thought something was wrong with his eyes.In his mind he thought, 'What is wrong with Samuel's eyes? I might as well just finish my dance and ask him.' Thinking about it now, he knew he was dump to have thought that there was something really wrong with Samuel's eyes after all he was a doctor.He turned to look at Hilda and Nathan who were still dancing it off on the stage and sighed. 'I would have been cut into p
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
