Kyle sat down calmly in a seat when he entered the study room.Chris sat down and opened a bottle of Moet. Poured it in two glasses and passed one to Kyle. "So what brings you here." He asked after passing the wine."Oh, I just passed by to check up on you. Since you left the hospital just like that." Kyle said unbothered."Oh, you did not have to. I just had a little issue I had to take care of.""So what could that have been? Let's see if I could be of help." Kyle responded as he took a sip of his wine."Nothing serious here. I already took care of it. And by the way, how is Nathan doing?" Chris then changed the topic."Nathan will be fine. All he needs is to pull through from wherever he is." Kyle said calmly."Good to hear. What about Hilda? Chris asked with a serious expression this time around."She will also be fine. But I can not put my mind around the accident. How everything happened all of a sudden. And the link between Hilda's accident and Nathan's.""It looks like who eve
Late at night in Christopher's apartment, two strong built burly men carried a body bag out of his apartment into his car boot.Christopher recalls that day like it was just yesterday to him. It was one of his worst nightmares. Which haunts him the most. He was having a good time with a girl when all of a sudden the girl passed out in his bed. He freaked out as he did not know what would become of him if other's found out.He didn't want to tarnish his image as if the accident came to light, people will judge him wrongly. He then decided to get rid of the body before anyone else found out. That was when he called two of his most trusted subordinate and asked them to get rid of the body.In the video, it shows how his men took the heavy body bag from his apartment all the way to the outskirt of the town before his men burnt the body.Looking at the video now on his phone, he got fully drenched in sweat as his worst nightmare was coming to pass. Although he could just deny everything an
The burner phone rang as soon as the two hours was up."Have you made your decision?""Yes I have." Chris replied."Alright then. Who is it going to be? Nathan's mom or Gloria?""None of them." Chris replied."Is that so? Alright. Don't blame me for your decision." Came angrily from the other end of the phone."No, no, no. That's not what I meant. I got someone far more important that I can replace Gloria with." Chris replied worriedly."Who else could be the perfect person if not Nathan's first love or mom?""There is someone. Her name is Hilda.""Hilda? Who is she and what is she to Nathan? And why would she be the perfect candidate?""She is the most important person in Nathan's life now aside his family. She is the daughter of the Adams family. You might have heard of her. She had been in the news a few months back." Christopher explained."So what has she got to do with Nathan that makes her more important than Gloria. Do not think about fooling me here as I hold the cards.""She
This can only be a dream. I just hope it isn't what I was thinking. Chris might have something he needs to attend to that's why he decided to move low key. It can't be what I'm thinking. Kyle had this running through his mind as he tailed Chris all the way down towards his location.Chris who was so shaken up and in regrets of what he had done had no idea he was being followed. He just drove without checking whether he was being tailed or not. He had his fingers in his mouth as he bit his nails whiles driving with the other.He was thorn between betrayal and regret. He couldn't bring himself to think about what he would do if someone was to find out about what he had done. Driving all the way to an abandoned village in town, he finally packed.He hurriedly got down from the car and rushed into the building looking behind him as he placed a glove on his hands. After rushing in, he checked all the rooms for any evidence that could be traced to whoever the person could be but there none.
Listening to the disappointed tone of Kyle, Chris felt there was a hint of unjust in it. To him, why would Kyle talk to him like this because of Hilda? Like who the h*ll is Hilda that even because of her, Kyle will be talking to him like this.He angrily block Kyle's punches as he tried to fight back. "Don't you think you are being unfair? Eh? I had less than two hours to choose between aunt and Gloria. But I didn't. I chose Hilda whom you all have barely known for a year but here you are throwing punches at me and talking about betrayal." Chris barked angrily."You don't get it. How can you still justify yourself at this moment? You broke a code when you decided to sell Hilda out. That's betrayal. You betrayed Nathan." Kyle retorted."But I had no other choice.""To hell with you had no other choice. What about confiding in us? Did you think we wouldn't have been able to get through this together? Since when did you start having such little faiths in us?" Kyle asked completely disapp
The Patriarch was dumbfounded after Collin told him everything he had investigated so far. He could not process all that he had just heard. "No, that can't be possible. How could Nathan?"Collin had his head bowed as the Patriarch just paced about in the room. "How did you get to know?" He asked."Sir, I did follow Samuel, Kyle and Chris earlier. That was how I got to know.""But she is just a lowlife ex girlfriend of the Stephenson group's heir. How could Nathan stoop so low to marry her? Find out everything about her right away. And bring me to see my grandson."There was no way the Patriarch will agree to a marriage that wouldn't improve the status of their family. To him, marriage between their family and any other family should be able to raise the family business and status. There is no way he would agree to Hilda being his grandson's wife.He was utterly disappointed in Nathan...............Hilda held Nathan by the hand as she wiped her tears. "Nathan, I know you can hear me
Gasper together with James, Dennis and Stanley got into two different cars respectfully. Gasper shared James's car with him as Dennis and Stanley also shared Dennis's car. Stanley hadn't been himself since the accident with his boss and madam.Dennis understood how he was feeling so he decided not to add to his turmoil there by silence ensured in their car all the way to the location where as it was the exact opposite for the others. James and Gasper were in rage as they couldn't fathom what has happened.The big four was feared by everyone and it was impossible to infiltrate their privacy. Gasper could not comprehend how someone could get to attack Nathan when they were the least alert. To him, there was an insider who knew when to attack.What he didn't know was that his assumptions would soon be true.After driving for a while, the cars arrived at the designated location. As soon as they got off, they were all confused by what they saw.Gasper hurriedly rushed over to Kyle. Crunchi
"Pumpkin." Nathan called out weakly.Hilda held onto Nathan's hand tightly as she cried tears of joy. "Nathan, you are up.""Yes." He responded as he squeezed his face from the pain with much difficulty.When Hilda saw that she quickly said. "Lemme call the doctor." With that she began to wheel herself from the room. But no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't wheel it. She wasn't used to the wheelchair so she had no idea how to operate it.She then yelled out. "Samuel." But there was no response. She then called out again. But it was the same deafening silence.She felt dejected and turned to look at Nathan who had his eyes closed again. She held him by the hand and shook him a little scared. "Nathan?"He didn't make any movement. Hilda freaked out and shook him again. "Nathan?" This time around, he responded weakly."Mmm" He was in so much pain that he couldn't bring himself to open his eyes again. And then seeing Hilda in the hospital gown, he couldn't fathom what was going on.
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
