“I want you to stay the fuck off Ana!” Jordan said in a faint but a hilarious echo that drew the both of them into obfuscation.“Excuse me?” Mr De’Luka spoke with disbelief after recovering from the shock.Actually, he had not recovered from it. Just like his wife, he was thinking that he perhaps did not hear Jordan right the first time. The foolish man had no grounds whatsoever to even hint they stayed from their adopted daughter, not to talk of acting all serious like he meant it.“Speak up, young man! What did you just say?” Mrs De’Luka added.“You heard me loud and clear. I want both of your faces as far from Ana as possible until she asks to see you. Not even your useless bodyguards should stick their noses around unless you want to sacrifice them.” Jordan emphasized.“You can not just do any of that young man. Ana is our daughter. It is you who needs to get your pathetic self from this place and disappear into thin air if you can. You are digging your own grave with your hauteur

The faint reverberant rustling of Adrew scraping his head could be heard through the lull engulfing them. His eyes looked everywhere but his father whose face conformed to a charcoal with dark curtains of disbelief and anticipation. That corroborated Jordan’s actual facial visage because he was at a loss to ace the unforeseen turn of events. He also didn’t understand why it astounded Mr Jonathan that his son was getting married to some lady who once married before. Didn’t he know?Dianna, on the other hand, had her eyes firing deadly arrows at Jordan. If she was asked to make just one wish at that moment, she would have wished for Jordan to vanish from the face of the earth by all means. The guy seemed like he had made a vow to the devil to humiliate her every single time they crashed ever since she threw him out.First, he hooked himself with that arrogant, loaded girl who slapped Diana on the coat. Second, he beat up her lover in the hotel and humiliated them in front of everyone. A

“There is nothing more, father! It is nothing!” Edwin tried to lie with a strained boldness that sold him off.He was struggling to even breathe, and obviate his father’s eyes at all costs. Jordan found Edwin to be such a coward. He could not only acknowledge his mistake, but he was also afraid of telling the truth.“Yes, there is! Do you want to come out clean or do I let Jordan speak? I know he won’t lie to me like you two are lying to my face.” Mr Jonathan spoke.Now that stroked Edwin’s demons. How could his father trust a total stranger and a useless soul like Jordan instead of his son? He despised how his father was banking all his trust and affection on Edwin’s mortal enemy.“Would you rather believe a total stranger, a right-down fool like this man instead of your son?” Edwin asked. The heat of his wrath was burning his skin, making it flash with redness.“This man that you detest so much saved my life! I demand that you show some respect to him.” His father urged.“I don’t ca

“With all due respect, Mr Jonathan, that is gone and buried. I believe that it is best that we just forget about it and try to solve the one at hand. What I mean is, I already took care of it and I don’t want to dwell on it.” Mr De’Luka argued.Just like Mr J.onathan, Mr De’Luka also knew Mr Jonathan very well. The fool acted all saint and wanted everything solved in the most ostensibly way. He thought that the man had missed his career. Instead of being a businessman, he should have sneaked his way somewhere in the law enforcement sector or become a judge. Even then as he gawked at him, Mr De’Luka could tell that the man was growing suspicious every single second that passed.Mr Jonathan was indeed dubious of the old man. He knew that in business you could not vouch for anyone. Money was the root course of all evil, they said, and he could not concur any less. There was just something about Mr De’Luka that he didn’t unde

Jordan strolled into the room where Ana was struggling to sit up. He ran to her with concern. She had just woken up, and here she was attempting to sit up.“Why are you getting up? You will irritate your wound with this. You need to lie down and avoid any form of motion so that your wound won't get irritated.” He said, tucking her back in the covers again.Ana pulled her face shyly. His care touched the soft part of her heart. For someone who had lived her life trying to prove her worth to the people who adopted her and who didn’t seem to reciprocate her philia, receiving such cloying gestures warmed her heart. Not to mention that it was Jordan. She was thawing down to the guy in ways she could not explain.She was still swimming in glee, trying to recall how their paths had crossed. It was a beauteous fortuity that she could never in her lifetime stop thanking the heavens for. What would have happened if the heavens didn’t send a black Messiah to her rescue that night? Probably gone
