"It's for someone very close and dear to me who had fallen ill mad the herb is needed for them to stay alive." He replied shortly still gazing at the herb with his heart full of joy. He sat on the chair tiredly and leaned his head backward while staring at the ceiling chandeliers."Someone close? Who might it be?" She asked curiously again wanting to know more, she knew that Michael barely kept people around and it wasn't his wife and it had to be someone else but Michael wasn't about to reveal that, he gazed at her with a blank face and said nothing in hopes that she would not expect him to answer her question."An old friend." He mumbled looking away from her, she nodded her head skeptically gazing at him still wanting to know but said nothing."What about the issue you had to attend to just now, has it been resolved?" She asked while sipping a glass of wine in her hand."Yeah, it was so uncalled for." He rolled his eyes and frowned. "Alec had kidnapped my ex-wife to molest her, eve

3333333333333323333333333323The next morning Lucy decided to go to Alec's company to resolve their differences even though it was the last thing she wanted to do but she couldn't change her mind after promising her mother. She got out of the car and sighed with a frown curved on her lips as she stared at the company building I was disgustthat, that it was run by corrupt people who would stop at nothing to get whatever they wanted even if it meant a life."What ahian?" She grumbled as her phone rang in her handbag, she took, it out checking the car ID, and saw it was her mother who had to make sure she actually went to the company to apologize and not ditch it."What's the matter again?" Lucy rolled frustrated to hide the frustrating she felt."Just trying to make, sure you went there," Alice spoke smiling."Well now that you have seen that I'm here what else do you want?" Lucy asked walking past the reception office but was stopped, she sighed and walked back staring at the secretary

Karina couldn't help but scoff at him and folded her hands on her chest. "That's the only thing you can offer?" She scoffed, trampling on bus ego intentionally, she wanted to see just how long he could bear it."What?" Alec gazed at her furrowing his brows, he couldn't imagine a woman rejecting all of this when other women would die to have what he was offering her. "Do you want more?""Don't flatter yourself, you're in no place to speak to me… I have other things to attend to." She smiled at him and was about to go into the private room, Alec stood in front of her angrily."No woman rejects me and goes unpunished." He towered over her leaning forward with a smirk on his lips. "Are you trying to act tough just because he's here?" He glanced at Chris before gazing back at Karina who was unfazed by his behavior."Step away from her," Michael warned him but Alec wasn't about to relent, he remained in his position and gazed at Karina wanting her to back down in fear but she remained confi

Just as she's about to fall to the floor a hand circles around her waist preventing her from falling although she had shut her eyes awaiting the impact and when she felt nothing she slowly opened her eyes, presenting her to a man gazing down at her."What a nice way to say hello." He teased her jeling her to stand gently on her feet. Lucy looked away smoothening her clothes and gazed at him awed by his charm but quickly composed herself."It's rude to bump into a lady without apologizing." She retorted with a blank expression while adjusting her disheveled clothes."Forgive me for my manners darling." He smiled placing a gentle kiss on her hand causing her to retract it immediately and frowned."Do you go around doing this? Aren't you tired of harassing women?" She rolled her eyes gazing into his emerald ones that were beautiful and got her attention even more were his beautiful features that women would die for but compared to her ex-husband Michael was far more handsome and alluring

Karina stared silently at her and turned her gaze to Michael who was annoyed by Lucy's behavior. "And why do you see the need to mention that?" He frowned. "Why do you also see the need to flaunt a new woman not even up to a week since we divorced." "And why do you think we're together?" Karina interrupted gaining their attention shin, she couldn't help but feel happy that Lucy had thought she was Michael's partner at the same time she didn't want to cause any situation. Lucy was silent and didn't know how to reply to Karina. "We're only friends and I invited him here," Karina explained further but Lucy wasn't having it. "You should move on Lucy, we're divorced," Michael said hurting her even more, she gazed into his eyes as though searching for some comfort but saw nothing. "Is this who you truly are?" Lucy wasn't going to give up, if he was going to hurt her she would make site to do even worse. "How many times do you want me to" "We meet again." A masculine voice interrupts
