At the same time, Hilda was on a call in the study room. Linux was the first person to phone her the minute he found out about the incident. He kept quiet for a moment before speaking, "I'm sorry. I was careless, and it resulted in so much trouble for you. I'm going to clear things up."The guilt in his voice could be heard through their international phone call. This was the first time Hilda had spoken to him since he left a few months ago."There's nothing to apologize for. This entire incident stemmed from the long lasting grudge Tehilla and I have been holding against each other. You've already done enough for me. Thank you, but I think I'll have to be the one to deal with the upcoming issues."The line then fell silent for a while. After a few seconds, Linux offered, "You can still look for me if you need me to help out with anything."Hilda giggled before she replied, "Thank you, but please let me handle this. I can do it myself." The line fell silent yet again.Hilda actually h
Throughout this period, Hilda was indeed calm. Tehilla was the one who should be worried.One day, Tehilla was just pacing around in the Damien Residence, looking through all the news articles and updates about Nathan's whereabouts. She then realized that he hadn't responded to anything at all... Things are starting to look bad for me! The baby in me isn't even 8 months old! And it isn't even Nathan's child!She didn't know whose child it was. She was too afraid to recall the most torturous period of her life and how she had been violated, ravaged, and torn apart by those people. She was tied onto a bed frame as the people took turns with her. Every once in a while, she would be punched and kicked, and her meals were leftovers served with dirty water. She had no knowledge of the day, time, and season in the outside world, and she had considered killing herself multiple times, but she managed to endure and get through all of it in the end. She was waiting for the Damien's to save her.
Rex jumped in fright the minute he heard the voice. He turned his head around in disbelief, only to see that Nathan had been standing behind him. Rex hadn't realized when the man had arrived and what he had heard.Nathan was dressed in a couple's pajamas that matched the one on Hilda, and his gaze was cold as he stared directly at Rex.With his jaw hung loose and his eyes wide and bulging, Rex trembled in shock as he muttered, "Commander... how are you back here?! Weren't you... with."Nathan rested an arm on Hilda's shoulder before he glanced downward to stare at the phone that she was holding in her hand. A look of satisfaction crept across his face when he saw himself appearing in the video and holding hands with Tehilla as they walked into the hotel.He even ran his fingers across his own face as he watched the video. Rex first looked at Nathan, who stood right before his eyes, then at the video of Nathan. This shift in his gaze went on multiple times as he felt cold sweat forming
Tehilla herself was waiting for Hilda to hit her as well. Once Hilda started a fight, it'd give her the chance to get rid of the b*stard in her own tummy! Then, there'd no longer be any proof of who the child belonged to, and Nathan wouldn't be able to escape this any longer. Hilda would also be convicted for causing intentional harm. Tehilla could pull a few strings in prison to make sure that she would stay in there forever. Two birds with one stone!The two of them continued to stand facing each other silently. With a gap of 80 inches between them, one woman was gloating with pride as she lifted her chin high, while the other was calm and collected with her gaze cold. The fight seemed like it was on the verge of occurring, and the thousands of people who stood around quietly thought to themselves, Start the fight!Hurry and start the fight! I want to see action. I want them tugging on each other's clothes. I want them stripping each other naked! Everyone was waiting for Hilda to gi
His handsome face, his icy aura, and his sharp features that often appear on the big screen. Anyone would be able to recognize Nathan Clemon even if he had been burned to ashes! Yes, it was Nathan indeed. But Nathan was actually a woman...The rumors are true! Nathan's a woman! She had been pretending to be a man in the business world, and she succeeded in fooling all of us for more than 10 years!It's no wonder there've been so many rumors of Nathan being gay and interested in men. It's because 'he' is actually a woman! Of course she is interested in men!Does that mean that her marriage with Aebasa... is actually a same sex marriage?What about the baby in Tehilla's belly, then?! Could a woman get another woman pregnant?! Gosh, this storyline, this plot twist, and the current direction of the story has long surpassed what any of us could've expected...The business industry in Taadi embraced its greatest news of all time. The Renowned Business Man, Nathan Clemon, was actually a woma
Lily had been staying in the mental hospital for a while now. Her condition was much better than before, but she would still lose her sanity every now and then, which explained why she had to stay in the hospital. Fortunately, she was well enough to function on a day to day basis.Previously, she had shaved her head clean to treat her wounds, but her hair had now grown and was at the length of a crew cut.She was only one inch shorter than her idol, the man she adored the most. She was flat chested, and she generally preferred to dress in a more gender neutral manner. She was literally wearing the same pair of pants as Toby right then. No one could tell the difference between her and a man, and she looked like a carbon copy of Nathan when they stood next to each other.She was in the army with Nathan and the others. She sustained multiple injuries and serious burns after she was deployed to Afghanistan and kidnapped by the Hex. After she came back, she left the army to treat her wound
Instantly, Lily put her hands up. "I can't do it! You know how I am."Now that Lily was back, she also wanted to live a normal life but she still had dreams to fulfill. She planned of returning to the army as soon as she recovered.Hilda peeked at the new twins and suddenly realized how sometimes Nathan acted gayish while Lily seemed to be the real man! At least, she behaved more manly than Nathan did.No wonder Tehilla mistook her as a man when she held Lily captive. It was difficult to identify Lily as a woman if one did not pay attention to the Adam's apple.Tsk! She definitely has the handsome looks to attract women!Even Nathan started to get jealous when he realized Hilda was stealing glances at Lily.Nathan was quite used to Lily's ability to attract women's attention. Back then, when Lily had left the army because of her injury, all the men and women in the army sighed in relief.The women sighed because the only rose among the thorns was picked, and everybody else would have
Nathan had thought his flirting skills were quite good, that was why Hilda had fallen head over heels for him. But he was still inexperienced compared to Lily!As they looked at the two young girls that were teased by Lily, the two old male idols regretted the reckless mistake they had made.Back then, Hilda used to respectfully call Lily 'sister', but now, it was just 'Lil'.It is all over. They've gone over to the other side.Probably because of her near death experience, after she had recovered, Lily had really started to let go of herself. She used to grow out her long hair, but now, she couldn't be bothered about it and shaved her head. She would dress up like a young rascal and go around picking up girls of all ages.Lily was definitely the black sheep of her Family.Almost overnight, gossips about Nathan piled up as the weekly magazines were all digging the dirt on him.'Nathan Clemon was seen at a well known Taadi night club, arms around different girls! His scumbag nature has
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
