Clara couldn't stop rejoicing after she left the hotel room. The alert she received was still giving her goosebumps. Had it been that she knew Adam would give her the money without any hesitation, she would have mentioned ten million dollars instead of the five million dollars.She arrived home to meet her mom watching her favorite tv show."Hi mom" she greeted, waving her bag at her and the cat walking to her room."Clara, come back here and tell me what happened" Her mom said."What happened? I don't get you" Clara pretended not to have any idea about what her mother just said."Clara, stop playing numbs with me. I know something good happened because it's all written on your face. Now, tell me whatever is making you happy and allow me to rejoice with you" her mother explained while she giggled."It's a secret," she replied, running into her room.Immediately she entered her room, she closed the door and walked to the huge mirror, staring at her reddish face. She was blushing!" For
"Oh no! I can't believe this! I'm actually going crazy right now!" Rohan kept murmuring till he dropped Adam at a stone thrown to the office.Adam maintained his cool posture. He stood in front of the office for a while, expecting Karina to show up like she did the previous day but nothing related to get was in sight."Maybe she came early today," he concluded before entering the office building.He was the second to arrive in his department. He exchanged them with his co-worker that he met there.Shortly after, the office was filled with the workers but Karina was nowhere in sight."What's delaying her?" He asked no one in particular.He was about to call Rohan to request her phone number when Karina showed up.Her hair was right and her face swollen coupled with black thin lines under her eyes."Good morning" she murmured as she entered her office.Adam was shocked. It was obvious that Karina wasn't in a good state of mind. Her mood, dressing and expression shows everything.***Ins
Adam was shocked and stunned by her request. It wasn't like Kayla was too young to stay alone since there were a majority of teenagers, living alone."Are you scared that she might start staying up late at night when you ain't around?" Adam asked."Adam, I know my sister and she is always afraid of staying outside at night but she needs help, we both need help. Fine, I know you are confused but let me explain. I'm entering the palace on Monday to contest for the prince's bride and I can't leave her alone because she will be in danger. I want to be at peace while inside the palace.I don't know why I'm telling you this but she needs someone that I can entrust her safety with, pending the time that I'll leave the palace. It's just for a month" she explained to the best of her knowledge, not wanting Adam to know what was happening.With the way she was speaking, Adam could only see the worries of a big sister to her younger sister and from her conversation, she was desperate.The Karina th
Monday morning, Adam has forwarded all the documents that Kayla might need, along with her flight ticket.Karina helped her with her loads and made sure to stop a cab for her, that will take her to the airport.Immediately she left, Karina started feeling void. She was raised along with her sister and the only time they both departed was when she went to college but it's now Kayla's turn and there was no hope of seeing her soon since it wasn't in the same country."Maybe when I win the money, I'll also go to Canada to start a new life" she murmured and left to work.She made it early to work, almost immediately when her team member arrived."Good morning guys, hope you all enjoyed your weekend?" She asked when she entered and they all chorused "yes!", Along with Adam."She seems to be happy this morning," one of the team uttered."What I see is confusion. I think she is in a state of confusion and pretending to be fine, "another said.Adam stood up and went to her office"How are you
In the evening of the same day, Adam was sitting outside with Rohan. It was after they had taken dinner, though the ladies had dinner together while Rohan and Adam had their own with nanny inside her mini apartment that was built opposite the prince's quarter."Your highness, are you also thinking what I'm thinking?" Rohan asked."What are you thinking?" Adam retorted."The four ladies will try to be on their best behavior for a month and we might find it difficult to choose the winner," He explained."I've thought about it but a month is too long. No matter how they tried, their real identity will be revealed. I give them the chance of a free life so that I'll know more about each of them. But sincerely, which of them do you want as the prince's bride?" He questioned Rohan."I'm confused. They were all ladies of high esteem and were born by top business tycoons except Miss Karina but she is also a business orientated person and the king's favorite. I'm confused but within three weeks
Rohan called for a meeting in the evening, which was Adam's instruction. The meeting consisted of the four ladies and the nanny and it was based on the explosion that occurred at the company's warehouse earlier that day."I'm sorry for taking your time but I have no choice than to do this. You might have Heard that there was an explosion at the warehouse earlier today which caused lots of casualties and millions of dollars of goods were destroyed. The concerned team is working on it and as the future queen of this country, his highness would want you to come up with an idea to prevent such things from happening again and if possible, pay some visitations to the affected families" he explained."Why are we doing it to be the one to come up with the idea when his highness has teams that are professionals and would help out!" Diana asked.It was her first time speaking since she entered the palace."His highness wants a business orientated lady which you are all aware of. I think his rea
Karina was standing in front of the collapsed Warehouse. She was with her iPad and planned to jot something down but she was unable to figure out anything.Some professionals were there, Investigating the reason behind the explosion, not knowing that prince Adam had figured it out and had done justice to the person that was sent to do it. After he plucked his two ears, he made sure to cut his ears and then his tongue after he confessed about the brain behind the explosion. After that, he told his men to throw him into a dog cage, leaving him to be in pain till he will die.Well, they had to let the professionals do their jobs so that they could write an article, regarding it to the public and those that were affected would know what caused it.★★★Flashback★★★After Adam rushed to the warehouse. He was shocked and started shivering. Before he arrived there, Rohan has called the ambulances and regarded teams that would work on the casualty."How did it happen?" He asked."I was also st
Karina was shocked and dumbfounded at the same time. Seeing Adam was enough to shock her and falling on him was another one.They were both silent for seven seconds before Adam later voiced out."Ain't you gonna get up off me?" He asked, hissing in pain."Oh!" Karina immediately stood up but to her utmost surprise, Adam was still laying on the floor."Hey! You need to help me up!" Adam yelled."And why would I do so? For what reason would I help you?" She shouted back at him."Is that what are you going to use to reply to my kindness? For goodness's sake! I just saved your life, I just saved you from accident!" He yelled again."Did I ask you? Why are you always helping me, making me indebted to you? Why? Why? Why? It hurts, you know? Moreso, why did you follow me? Ain't you supposed to be at work?" She rushed her questions.Adam opened his mouth to talk but words failed him. He didn't prepare for that and from the way she was sounding, pains were apparent from her voice."Hey! I didn
