Lana rubbed her eyes , for the past few weeks she has been working overnight to finish some of her jewellery designs .Don't get her wrong she of course has the talent to make ground breaking perfumes but right now her budget was tight .Apart from the savings that she has from her previous job as a sales girl , she didn't have much money left with her .
Thankfully , she was someone who knew about the future and was well aware of the fashion that was going to be in trend . She tweaked on the ring's design on her laptop. It was a beautiful ring with half moon at one end and a three small stars on the other . Lana was certain that this ring along witg the rest of her designs will definitely earn a good fortune,all she needed was to go and persuade that person .
Once she completed the design of her ring she moved to the jade hair pin , it was three in the morning and her eyes were hurting but she had no more time left .If she missed that man she would miss a lifetime opportunity .Thankfully, she and Xander slept in diffrent rooms or else , she would never be able to complete the draft on time .
Lana who was completely carefree about raising Xander 's suspicions didn't know that , that night her husband returned very late from his meeting from Germany .When Xander saw the light in Lana's room , he frowned and called Abel , the head servant .
"What's the mistress doing , isn't she going to sleep?" Xander checked his watch sure enough it was three in the morning, a young girl like Lana should be asleep .What was she doing , staying up this late ? was she chatting with someone? This thought left a bad taste in his mouth .
"Madam is in her final year of college ; her exams are coming close , she must be studying" Abel had absolute faith in Lana, last time Abel was the one who was responsible for telling Lana that she and his master will not be sharing a room and they both will have separate room for their use . Abel had expected a full blown drama but not only did Lan didn't throw a tantrum ; she even treated him and the entire servants of King 's house with respect and cordially spoke with them .Which was a far cry from that woman Ella who always looked down upon them. Adam who saw his mistress behaving in such a graceful and happy go lucky manner was completely won over ; he will no longer allow anyone to talk bad about his mistress ; even if it was his master!
When Xander heard Abel , he frowned .From the looks of it ; Abel seems to be won over by that wife of his .
"Studying? what's the point if she didn't paid attention to her studies earlier?" Xander was completely brainwashed by Ella ; Ella kept talking about how Lana was still young but she spent her time following Xander for the past few months,Ella deliberately spoke in such a manner that made Xander feel that even Ella was worried about Lana 's studies .However, Lana who should be worried was wasting her time following Xander .
"Master ? young madam is highly capable young lady.She doesn't need to waste her time studying all day long. I investigated young madam before your marriage master ; she has high IQ and she even won the scholarship in Royal college " Abel who couldn't take Xander bad mouthing Lana ; hurried to explain how capable Lana was .
"Scholarship? Doesn't her father pays for her education?" when Lana and Xander was getting married, Adam Stewart, Lana 's father kept shooting his mouth about how much he cares about his daughter ; Adam didn't knew at that time , that he was shooting himself in foot .
"Him? Master , I think you should read into my report about Young madam .Her father have never even paid any attention to Miss before she married you , He even left Miss and her brother to be raised in Servants cottage.How can a man like him pay for Miss Lana's education?" Abel already knew that Lana 's father must have spoken endearingly in front of Xander therefore he spoke his mind to clear Xander 's doubts .
Xander was really surprised when he heard Abel 's remarks . Abel had ofcourse investigated Lana and prepared a report for him before Xander married Lana but how could Xander read it? He was particularly disgusted by Lana .He felt that Lan has bad intentions regarding King family and therefore that was her reason to save his grandpa . Grandpa Cabel suffered from heart conditions and was not allowed to leave the house without a bodyguard .But the older one gets the more childish he becomes. Grandpa Cabel sneaked out of the house and immediately suffered from a stroke .If not for Lana who was passing by helping Grandpa Cable .Grandpa Cabel might have died of stroke.
Xander thought that a hefty sum of money was enough to pay for Lana's assistance but who would have known that Grandpa Cabel will stubbornly accept Lana as his grand daughter in law .When Xander refused to marry Lana , Grandpa Cabel adamantly refused to eat his medicine , he even threatened to jump of the house roof if Xander told Lana about him and Ella . And when Ella came to know about it , she deliberately spoke as if she was questioning about Lana 's timely arrival when his grandpa was suffering .
Xander who was already furious with his Grandpa at once became suspicious of Lana.
From then on he absolutely refused to even see Lana much less read about her info .
Looking at the lit up bedroom Xander was having trouble setting his thoughts in array .Before marrying him Lana was shy and flirtatious , she even gave him those looks of desire that many woman gave him making him despise Lana even more .But after marrying him Lana hardly appears in front of him and even if she does she looked at him strangely .
Xander had no idea how to decipher Lana anymore .
******
Lana who was working on her jade hairpin design had no inkling that Her husband was starting to doubt her .
She happily closed Her laptop after an hour of work and went to sleep .
*****
Next morning to her surprise; Xander was seated on the dining table with a cup of coffee in one hand and a newspaper in another .
When She came downstairs Xander didn't even looked up from his newspaper ,Lana didn't care about him and Wished Abel .
Today she was dressed in a formal dress thus when Abel saw her he couldn't help but ask
" Miss are you going somewhere ?"
This question of Abel's caused Xander to look up and a scowl formed on his handsome face .
"Yes I have a meeting "
Lana answered Abel
"Man or woman ?"
Lanawas so surprised that she nearly choked herself on the sip she took of her coffee , never did she thought that Xanderwould ask her this question
.
"That I believe is not you concern , master King"
Lana responded coldly to Xander making the atmospher go cold .
Xander placed his newspaper down and looked at Lana calmly.He did nothing; said nothing but Lana felt scared .This was one of the many times she realized that Xander was a dangerous man .The only person he was calm and gentle was Ella and not her , what made her retort him in such a way ?"Not my concern, then whose concern is it ? " asked Xander sarcastically .His gaze had gotten even colder ; Lana didn't realized it but In Xander 's mind he was certain that his wife was hiding a man from him .Lana heart was almost in her throat when she saw the chilling look Xander threw her way but she still collected her strength and nodded " I know you hate me ; With our marriage you had no other option ; you could only fulfill your Grandpa 's wish .But I know I'm not the woman in your heart , Elder master King , you cannot expect me to be loyal to you when you yourself are not setting a clear example , while I do not comment on your Ex gi
After finalising everything Lana happily skipped over to an ice cream shop .With her skills and Remus 's intelligence ; she was certain that this deal of their would surely be successful .Now all she need to do was to wait for this month to come to an end.Lana purchased a triple scoop ice cream , this could be considered as her celebration for successfully completing the first step for her success .She was still enjoying her ice cream when a familiar ringtone resounded . It was her phone .Lana pulled her phone out and her face darkened .There goes her good mood .The person calling her was none other than Adam Stewart , her father ."Yes?" swiping right for answering ,Lana answered the call.She wasn't willing to call Adam Stewart her 'father'."What 'Yes' , Where are your manners , I'm your father !" As expected when Mr.Stewart heard Lana, he at once reprimanded her .
Assistant Jacob had gone through Thick and thin with his boss Xander but for the first time in his life he has seen his boss so empty and cold it was as if someone has ripped his soul and hollowed him out .Assistant Jacob was correct .This was how Xander felt, hollowed. This noon he got a call from Eva who told him about Lana .True he didn't love Lana and his emotions were a mess regarding her but that didn't mean he wouldn't take responsibility for theie first born . Xander closed his eyes, he knew that the beatings Lana suffered were enough to have her miscarry .A heart wrenching pain made Xander gasp silently, his first child ...all killed because of his mistakes . If only he allowed his bodyguards to follow Lana something like this wouldn't have happened*******People in the hospital corridor shivered in cold when they saw a handsome young man making his way . Behind him was a
It was three in the morning when Lana woke up , her hands automatically went to her flat tummy .Caressing her flat abdomen Lana felt as if someone has ripped her out once again, In her last life Ella bribed a maid of King family and changed her nourishing tonic to an abortion tonic , Lana who was young and naive didn't even doubt that maid and drank all of the tonic not leaving even a drop behind .In her previous life she was deeply in love with Xander thus when she found she was pregnant , she was extremely careful and was looking forward to her child's birth .But how could Ella allow it ?Lana remembered her pain which was so similar to the one she was feeling now, she was such a failure .Not only did she failed to protect her little baby in her last life she couldn't do so in this life as well .The more she thought the more heavier her heart became , she felt a stinging sensation in her eyes and a choked sob escape from her lips .
Xander was supposed to be at office , having a multi-million meeting with a client from United kingdom but instead he deciced to let Abel and Assistant Jacob to take care of it . Maybe he was feeling guilty , therefore he turned everyone down and he , himself stayed behind to take care of Lanz .No matter how much he denies it , the truth was , that she was his wife .As her husband it was his duty to take care of her .It was your duty to protect her as well .His mind nagged at him.Xander shook his head in a an failed attempt to clear of his mind when he heard rustling from Lana 's bed .She was awake .Xander stood up to help her but Lana 's gaze stopped him , she was looking at him with a peculiar expression before her lips curled into a mocking sneer ."You are not him are you ?-"That was when Xander stopped , he watched as she
"Are you sure?" Robert looked at script and asked"Yes " whispering excitedly Kristine Answered"He is reading that part where the antagonist makes his appearance, I think he is trying to get the role of Johnny , Young master Rhodes , you're going to steal that role from him right? "To Kristine the most exciting thing was to steal things from Nico and Lana .No matter how much downtrodden they became ; Kristine still wanted to crush them under her feet as a final blow .In short she couldn't see anything good happening to Lana and Nico ."Of course ! let this young master show you what's acting is " throwing a flirtatious smile at Kristine , Robert straightened up and submitted his chit containing the role which he will audition for .Royal University , gave opportunities to the young rising stars by giving them chances to audition for roles
When Robert went back to his home,he at once villainzed Nico. He did his utmost in throwing mud at Nico, describing the situation in such a way that made his parents and Ella believe that Nico did something dirty behind the scenes to gain the role of Johnny in director William’s movie."This is ridiculous! first his sister, now him! how could they keep stealing from our kids? Master Rhodes, we must teach them a lesson! " Angry and haughty as always Mother Rhodes demanded her husband to getRobert the role he wanted . Father Rhodes also doted on his children a lot, therefore he didn't refuse and at once called the team of Director William but how could he have known that Ace Perez had already made his arrangements with Ace's declaration of protecting Nico no one came to the Rhodes family aid.By the time Father Rhodes finished calling for help from his contacts, mother Rhodes was so furious that she nearly fainted in anger.This...This was
The next day Lana had no idea what went between Xander and Ella, nor did she know that Xander was starting to incline on her side a little more than before.Last night she drank quite a lot of bowls of nourishing soup; maybe it was her being highly medicated she didn't feel the urge to pee but right in the morning she felt her bladder nearly bursting from the pressure. Hurriedly; she tumbled off her bed but before her feet could touch the floor, a muscular arm secured her.Luckily, Xander secured her body right on time because being on the bed for so long had made her legs feel all gooey; without Xander's support her jelly legs might have already betrayed her and let her kiss the floor and it was too early for Lana to be kissing the floor."What are you doing " because Of Ella; Xander couldn't get proper sleep, his voice was thick with sleep making it a little hoarse and deep.Lana felt Xander breath on her neck, with his morning voice and his
Lana's case wasn't a simple one which was why she had to stay at the hospital for a very long time. During this period Lana had a lot of trouble getting over her child's death, sometimes she would wake up crying and Xander would take care of her. The night before her discharge from the hospital, Lana was once again trapped in her own paranoia as she slept. Her fingers that were resting by her side clenched the bed sheet, digging deep into it. Lana was soaked in a cold sweat and she could feel acute hollowness and pain in her stomach. The familiar feeling of something precious slipping through her fingers coursed in her body, she could hear the taunts and jeers that others shot at her after she lost her child." you bloody money-sucking leech, you fell down the stairs by yourself and still tried to implicate my Ella in it? How can you be so scheming ?"" she is such an evil woman, even a devil doesn't harm innocent children yet she...sigh, the child
Xander pressed his temples, his right eye twitching in anger but he controlled it. He was the one at fault, not Lana if anything he should be asking for her forgiveness, with everything that went between them it was completely right of Lana to keep him at arm's length.Once the door to the lavatory opened, Xander went ahead and helped Lana even when she tried to pry his hands off her.Xander pressed the bell on the side while saying to her, "If you need anything, don't move. Just press this and a nurse will come."After settling Lana; Xander explained, Lana looked at the bell and frowned; she has been in such a hurry that she completely forgot that the hospital, she was at was the number one hospital and she was the VVIP here."You could have done that, " she said in an accusing tone."It's morning; everyone's out " Xander explained patiently, and he was right it was four in the morning and with him here; the nurses might have taken a break, not to
