“Grandpa.” Zara breathed out in shock as she stared at her now-breathing grandfather.Zayn Khan, Zara’s grandfather, gasped for air while he kept his gaze on William.It was clear that unlike before, he was aware of his surroundings.“Grandpa,” Zara called out again, snapping him out of his momentary trance.Zayn reached out and stroked Zara's hair. “Zara, my dear granddaughter, it's truly you.”“Grandpa,” Zara muttered, her eyes wet once again but not out of sadness but instead of joy.She instinctively leaped into Zayn's arms, embracing him tightly while letting out the joy in her heart.The guards exchanged looks with one another, unsure of what to make of the current situation as they didn't expect such an outcome.Satisfied that his work was done, William made to leave only for Zayn to call out to him.“Young man!”William paused, glancing back at Zayn, who was scrutinizing him with clear eyes.“You saved me.”“I was only doing my job.” William calmly replied.“But it doesn't cha

“I guess that's known all around, huh?” William said as he rubbed the top of his lip. Zara chuckled. “I had no idea you were such a capable man.”“Well, I pride myself on being a man of many talents.”Pursing her lips, Zara asked. “Why did you save my grandfather?”“I also already told you that.”“I know but it doesn't make sense that you don't want anything at all,” Zara said, feeling slightly suspicious.“Well, I don't,” William remarked. “And that won't be changing. Now then, if you'll excuse me, I'd like to get some rest.”“Wait.”“Hmm?”“Thank you.”“For?”“Saving my grandfather.”William nodded. “You're welcome.”“One more thing.”“Tell me.”Zara quickly reached into her pocket and pulled out a key card.“Take this.”“What is that?”“Keys to a beach house. It's yours now.”“I don't want it,” William said dismissively before turning to leave.“Please.”William paused in his tracks.“Take it as an offering.”“Offering?” William glanced back at Zara with a raised brow.“Yes, an of

Meanwhile, William had just gotten out of a conversation with Zayn when he got the call from Victoria. “William.” “Yes, Miss Smith.” “Come over to Piping Hot, something is happening to Sir Lionel.” William sighed. “Didn't I warn him to be careful?... Now see. “Please come over quickly, I fear if something isn't done soon, he might pass away.” “Yeah, I know, I'm on my way.” With that, William ended the call and quickly left for Piping Hot Cafe. He arrived roughly fifteen minutes after Victoria called him, just in time to watch as medics that the cafe had called rushed in to tend to him. Raising a brow, William didn't say anything immediately as he watched them try to disperse the people who had gathered around to watch the scene. Victoria rushed to meet him the moment she noticed his presence. “You were right, William, something is wrong with Sir Lionel.” “I'm aware, no need to tell me twice,” William said in slight annoyance. “How long has it been since this started?” “Fi

Only those with robust accounts could dare to shop at ShopRight as even the smallest of items might end up costing a fortune to get but for the likes of William and Victoria, money wasn't an issue. William and Victoria stepped in with the guard excited to let them in as he had recognized the Porsche they were driving as incredibly expensive. They made their way to the second floor before arriving at the Silky Wears. It was just like Velvet Fashions but was more interested in vintage wear, and so was popular with people interested in those sorts of wears. William and Victoria were just about to walk in when the attendant at the door approached them. “Excuse me, perhaps you are in the wrong place?” She inquired while scrutinizing the duo with a slight hint of contempt. “Not at all. Or is this not Silky Wears?” “Uhmm, it is, but are you sure you should be here?... I mean, the lost and found department is not too far from here.” Clearly, she was being disrespectful because

Zara stood on the second floor, overlooking the party hall below, in full view of those below but none dared to approach her.Or so far at least.***William arrived in the Corvette with Victoria.The duo stepped out, revealing Victoria to be wearing a fiery red dress while William wore a pale blue suit.Just as they were about to reach the entrance, William instinctively raised his head only to notice Zara standing on a balcony.She looked down at the same time and for a brief moment, their eyes met.Once she was out of sight, William recovered long enough to hear Victoria. “The invitation.”Shaking his head, he took out the card Zayn had given him after their discussion earlier in the day letter and handed it over to the guards at the hall entrance.“You may go in.” The doors opened and a whole new world was displayed on the other end.“Amazing.” Victoria mouthed as she took in the sight.“It's even more splendid than when I first came in,” William confessed.Many were in attendan
