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
When Hilda finally saw Nathan's Maybach parked close by after they arrived at the harbor, she breathe in a sigh of relief. As they hadn't come in the same car together, Hilda thought Gloria would join her own car but to her surprise she heard Gloria saying shyly to Nathan. "Nate, I forgot to call my driver, can you drop me off at my place?"Hilda's heart sank when she heard this. She knew for sure that there was no way Nathan would say no to this as it was already dawn. She watched at Gloria opened the passenger seat and sat down.She smiled bitterly, an ex- fiancée rides shortgun and her the wife was suppose to sit in the back seat. Hilda was totally enraged. Her sleepiness had been banished by all what Gloria was doing.She wanted to scream. 'No, I won't allow you to sit in front. It is either I sit in front or I'm not riding with you two.' But looking around, she found that Samuel was long gone after saying their bye's earlier and only Nathan's car was left.Nathan opened the back
Hilda completely disregarded Nathan who was driving. She closed her eyes and feigned sleeping. Arriving at home, immediately Nathan parked the car and turned off the engine, Hilda got down and walked into the house without looking back.Nathan stared at her back and frowned as he thought. 'This woman is such a headache. What am I suppose to do now?'Eager to talk to her, Nathan followed her upstairs only to reach the bedroom and saw her walking out with a quilt and a pillow. She walked past him and entered the guest room shutting the door close.Nathan stood there with a solemn expression on after the door was shut contemplating whether to let her be or talk it out with her. After some time he decided to talk it out with her. He walked towards the guest room door and pushed it open only to realize that it had been locked from inside.He then knocked but there was no response. He knocked for some time more but there was still no response. He even tried to turn the door knob forcefully
The next day, in Nathan's residence, Hilda had slept till late. When she woke up, it was past lunch time. Sitting on the bed, she looked around the room. It took her a moment to recall that they had arrived home in the middle of the night after leaving the birthday party.Memories about what happened at the birthday party and how Nathan escorted Gloria into her house came flooding back into her mind. She smiled bitterly as she looked around.She got up and freshened up before heading down stairs for lunch. When she got down stairs, she was treated with the sight of Nathan walking back home from outside. He had lots of shopping bags with him. Hilda took a look at him and ignored him walking straight into the kitchen. When Nathan saw this, he frowned. Although he had expected this, he was a little optimistic that Hilda would be in a good mood when she wakes up.Sighing, he placed the bags down in the hall and followed Hilda into the kitchen. With a smile on his face, he approached Hild
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
