Gazing intently at her, Jordan was much withered by the girl. How could she let herself fall in love with a complicated man like him, whose life was in danger every single second? He posed nothing but danger to her. How could she love him? And within a blink of an eye? She knew nothing much about the strange man, yet she loved him. Then he wondered: could she have left her home, her foster parents, and even given up all the multi-billion-dollar fortune of the De’Luka family just to chase a nobody like him? All those sacrifices were for the sake of love?“Haven’t you noticed it, Jordan?” She asked, or rather, her emotions spewed out before Jordan could break eye contact, holding him back.Jordan knew better than to compromise his life at that point. He appreciated the girl’s honesty, but he was not ready to go down that road again. Not that soon, and he did not want to give Ana false hopes. He had much more important and dangerous things to do before he could start thinking about his l

Ana was still scanning the papers one after another. She wasn’t actually re-reading through them again because she was satisfied. Her mind seemed to be miles away. “Are you regretting the idea of becoming an investor in a multi-billion-dollar company?” Jordan wondered if he had made a wrong or hasty decision by bringing her into the deal unaware.She collected the booklet of the contract she had signed and looked at Jordan. “I am not. We are chasing wealth, and no one would dislike the idea of growing their money. Not even an idiot.” She said it calmly.Still, she was frowning, conjuring Jordan’s curiosity. “Then why the long face? What is bothering you?” He quizzed.“I just realized what this means. That I, we, will have to crash to our enemies more often. Especially my father. That man is an omnipresent being. He is in almost every single business and he never misses any of the gatherings.” She explai

The meeting was coming to an end. There was nothing much to be said or done anyway. It was a simple dinner for Mr. Jonathan to introduce his new investors. And now it was that crucial moment.Jordan was seated next to a lady who had insisted earlier that they talk. He was still not blending well with the lady. She was too tipsy to even hold a conversation. Ana was seated a distance from them, but she was so restless. Her neck was cocked to the side where Jordan was seated with the bimbo. She wondered what the girl wanted from Jordan or what they were talking about the few times that she had caught them exchanging a few words.“And now, ladies and gentlemen, I would like to go to the main aim of this dinner. As you all know, my company suffered a huge blow a few days ago because I lost one of its biggest investors. However, the weeping days are now over. I want to introduce to you the new investors, Jordan Rivers, and Ana De’Luka.”The echo of their names echoed up to the high heavens.

The situation outside seemed so high-strung as Jordan and Ana walked into the crowd. A video was playing on a laptop somewhere, with Officer Adamson in front of the laptop and Mr. Jonathan on the side. They were reviewing CCTV footage. Mr. De’Luka was also in the front, and behind him and his wife were some police officers who seemed to be surrounding them.Officer Adamson stood up as Jordan reached the crowd. “Good evening, officer?” Jordan greeted.“Good evening to you, Jordan. How is everything inside? Is the lady okay?” The officer asked.“She is stable. I have sent her some medications to clear her system. I still can’t tell exactly what substance she consumed and how. Have you found something?” He asked the officer.“Yes. We have found something very interesting.” The officer said, throwing a quick glance at the gloomy Mr. De’Luka before rewinding the footage for Jordan and Ana to see. “See for yourself," he said.Jordan and Ana fixed their eyes on the laptop.On the screen, De'

They say that fate works in mysterious and mischievous ways. A single second can change your entire life in a way that nobody could have anticipated. There is always an end to everything that has a beginning. You should never laugh at someone, for you never know about tomorrow.All these Jordan Rivers had tested and proven. After Mr. De’Luka was taken to prison, things cooled down. His mortal enemy had been put out of the way, and he was able to move freely and mingle with everyone. Diana had kept her mouth shut about what she knew about Jordan, and she and her lover seemed like their wings had been crippled when De’Luka went to prison. Nobody still knew for sure whether they had been working together to ruin Jordan and Ana. Their silence left a lot of questions for Jordan and Ana.In the following weeks, Jordan and Ana continued to thrive by closing new investment deals with big companies with promising futures. Jordan’s name was on the top list of the surfacing aggressive tycoons. W
