The butler's face was filled with shock as he held a parcel meant for his young master. Attached to the gift was a message that caused his expression to freeze in disbelief.Tony, sensing the seriousness in the butler's demeanor, inquired, "What is it? What's going on?"The butler, still unable to find his voice, extended his trembling hand, offering the parcel to Tony. Tony took it, and as he read the message, his own face mirrored the shock he saw in the butler's eyes. Completely engrossed in the message, he failed to register his mother's inquiry about its contents or the presence of the others around him.Emma reached out and took the message from her father, feeling a numbing sensation in her fingers as she read the words. Cecilia, too, caught sight of the message and nearly collapsed under the weight of its contents.Confusion spread across Grandma's face as she observed their reactions, desperately seeking an explanation for the commotion caused by the parcel. Will, upon receivi
Days passed after the birthday celebration, and Grandma remained hospitalized, unable to come to terms with the fact that her beloved grandchild had died in her own home. The shock had taken a toll on her already weakened heart, leading to her immediate hospitalization. This left Tony with no choice but to focus his attention on his ailing mother, leaving him with little time to grieve for his son's illness.Cecilia, on the other hand, faced her own troubles as news of her scandal broke out to the public. She was placed under house arrest, forbidden from visiting her sick mother-in-law in the hospital. Tony's attitude towards her had drastically changed, and he no longer cared about her as he once did. He would leave the house and return late at night, openly displaying his disgust towards her. He no longer bothered to hide the fact that he had a mistress, often calling her affectionate names in front of Cecilia, intensifying her regret for seeking Will's help and being the one whose a
"Grandpa, I thought I was here for a holiday. How can you expect me to go and meet with some director from a crumbling company?" a distant voice argued. "I won't go to a company that won't bring any benefit to us. I only pursue the best opportunities, not some company on the brink of bankruptcy," she added before abruptly ending the call. How could her grandfather even suggest such a thing to her? She was the CEO of a successful business and now she was being asked to deal with this failing company. She had witnessed firsthand how the Thompson family's company had declined after their dirty dealings were exposed to the public. She wanted nothing to do with them, whether her grandfather had already scheduled an appointment with their director or not. She would rather engage in business deals with the Carters, who had consistently demonstrated competence in their work, unlike these wolves in sheep's clothing. Bella entered the room and saw an agitated Anna pacing back and forth. What
Time passed, and the moment arrived for Anna to attend the appointment. As she prepared herself, she had no idea what to expect since she had been against this meeting from the beginning. However, the desire to uncover the truth she had yearned for years pushed her to proceed with it. As she stepped out, she noticed Bella setting the table for breakfast. Bella continued setting the table without acknowledging Anna's presence. It was clear that she was pretending not to notice her. Anna sat down and began eating, and surprisingly, Bella joined her without uttering a word. Anna observed her unusually silent friend, who was usually talkative even during meals. Today, however, she remained quiet, and it seemed she was angry at Anna. Anna pretended not to notice Bella's unusual behavior and continued eating. But after a few minutes, she couldn't let it go on without addressing the issue. "Okay, tell me what's bothering you," Anna said, placing her spoon down and looking at Bella. To her
Nagid was just as confused as Anna about why she was there. They both stared at each other, unable to believe their eyes. Suddenly, Anna remembered seeing a familiar figure earlier, realizing it wasn't a figment of her imagination. He was real, and he was here. But why was he on the same floor? Anna couldn't comprehend it. "Welcome, boss. The CEO of Purity Company in Europe is here for the appointment," the secretary explained, bringing them back from their intense gaze. Anna was shocked to realize that she was supposed to have a meeting with him. How was she going to manage a meeting without getting angry? However, she couldn't just leave. She had to go through with it to uncover what she wanted to know from her grandfather. "Take a deep breath, Anna. It's just an appointment, nothing more, nothing less. Get this done and leave," she reassured herself silently. Nagid also looked surprised to see Anna as the CEO. How did this happen? He decided to treat this as a meeting between
"Why should I believe you? I'm still working here as a director, and I don't have a company of my own. How can I trust what you're saying?" Nagid's question surprised anyone present, but he was not easily swayed by sweet words from someone he barely knew, someone trying to make him think she trusted him. He had been through a lot in the past and couldn't believe such a turn of events. Anna looked at him, puzzled. Anyone else would have agreed without hesitation, but Nagid's reaction was surprising. He was so smart that it caught her off guard. Others would have jumped at the opportunity, but he couldn't be swayed by mere words. "I do admire your intelligence and how alert you are, Mr. Nagid. Your words show your competence. I wouldn't be surprised to see you become the most successful man ever. But I want you to consider what I've said. Take some time to think about it. I hope the answer will be positive," Anna replied, hoping to convince him. Her answer stunned him. Was this the sa
Anna returned home in a fist when Bella noticed her and wondered what had happened to her at the meeting to provoke such a reaction. Without uttering a word to Bella, Anna proceeded straight to her room and locked the door. Just as she locked it, her grandfather called her. "Please don't tell me you had someone following me," she asked her grandfather. "No, I just had a feeling that your meeting would be over by now," her grandpa replied. Anna felt like crying and confiding in her grandfather about everything that had happened at Nagid's office. However, as someone who had spent years in the military, she felt the need to maintain a façade of strength and keep her emotions in check. How could she explain her tears? Should she reveal that Nagid was married, or that Emma was Nagid's wife? It was all too complicated. Deciding to put it all behind her, Anna chose to forget about her emotions and why she had reacted so strongly to the encounter with Emma and Nagid. "Grandpa, I'm done wi
A girl with blonde hair stepped out of the plane, captivating the attention of everyone who laid eyes on her. There was something about her that didn't seem like she belonged in New York. Her mannerisms and actions gave away her foreigner status, instantly drawing the attention of the people at the airport. She anxiously looked around, waiting for her ride. Soon enough, her car arrived, and she got in. "Where would you like to go, miss?" the driver asked, unable to tear his gaze away from the stunning blonde. Her beauty made him wish she was his. The blonde lady noticed his stare, accustomed to people ogling her. She looked at the driver with a sense of pride. "Take me to the Screen Hotel," she confidently replied. "Sure, beau... I mean, ma'am... Sorry, miss," the driver stammered, causing her to giggle. This reaction was all too familiar to her, even back home. As the driver began to navigate through the streets, he couldn't help but steal glances at her through the car window. Me
As aoknnas the plan landed.Anna got out if the plan and did not even waste a single minute more there .Thanks to her identity in the country she didn’t need to go through the same procedure as most people go through .She was already pit stop bfirwanyone else.Even her luggage was with her the whole time she was on the plane .Her private jet was still in Europe and it would have taken her some hours before it gets to New York City, she prefer to coke early and find out whey is happening to her grandpa.The driver who was sent to pick her up thought since the plan just landed it would take him some few minute more to see her .Bit he never expected that it’s not even been a minute and the person he was waiting for a salrwdy walking towards her .He knew the young hatreds had learned how to fly a plane and was thing she might have tagged along as a pilot and gotten to coke out this early .How wrong he was. Anna was not in the sound mind to fly at the moment and had to wait in th
Dana looked at the familiar car standing not off from the office and walked very close to have a careful look.But then her phone started to receive some messages and she checked them.She sighed and knew her gossipy attitude would lead her nowhere but back to work.And before she knew it, her legs soon carried her to Bella office since she has no work to do today and was just here to learn about her company for a while.She looked at the face that was braskinv the heart of other people as wished she could just take her away.It’s such a shame that has already had a girlfriend .Yep, the princess Dana was not into men but into women.This is one of the reason she ledt the palace as she knew her mother would never approve of it .But she prefer t be with the ole she loved than be with a man she would be be happy with .“Okay, I just saw a pretty photographer leaving not long ago. And if I’m not mistaken I think I saw a sad rejected look like on his face like he was abandoned by
John walked into the office with a smile as if he was meeting a long-time friend for a while.Bella watched as he looked around in her office like he was trying to take in everything for the last time . And the was making her feel very uncomfortable and she couldn't even get her head around everything .“John, it’s so nice to see you ” she tried to say in a friendly manner trying to not sound as distant as possible.This was the cause of the man she liked and she didn’t want to give another man any hope than she already had.His feeling for her was something she knows and she didn’t want to look like a bad person. It was better to keep their distance before she gets into someones bad books.“I thought you had already forgotten about me. I’m still glad you’re least still remember my name “ he with a smile and sat down while compementinf her office .“I now know why you have such great taste in clothes and lifestyle. Your office speaks for itself. Not too gloomy not to light. Just
“Huh “Charles said and stood up in shock.He felt his vision was playing tricks on him, or his ears were also playing tricks on him.Finally his mind was also playing some dirty tricks ok him.This wasn’t real right?This might be a joke.And before be realize it he had already blunted it out.“Is this a prank or a joke for something?”The old marshal understood his reaction and didn’t say anything anymore. Who would be happy to know his or her soul was in another solace?No one would be this happy about it.But he will, for he knew what he as talking about .“This is no joke and I I’m not trying to prank anyone” the marshal answered .“But…. But” Charles stammered. The old marshal was not angry but he was just worried for his child.“You don’t need to worry about anything else and just call her back. I don’t want to do tht one to call he back. She might not even listen to me or believe me. And if I try to lie her, I might speak up everything and it wouldn’t be good for her
Back in England …Charles watched as the Marshal with an anxious look walked back and forth with a weighty expression.“Master? Is anything the matter” he asked with a worried look.“No. This is not good. This is really not good at all” he responder as he continued to walked around .He suddenly called him here like there was an emergency but all that he had been witnessing for the last fifteen minute was seeing as he has making walking back and forth .And instead is a direct answer, he was now talking about, something he couldn’t get his mind on.Who wouldn’t be confused in this matter?But still, he waited patently, thinking this might be about master Nagid, he just fell silent and waited till he spoke up again.He knew his master like the back of his hand.If there is something that would a bit annoy him, then it would be something he would detest very much.He ca do nothing but wait and help him get rid of the trouble and he help make him relieved again.After walkin
“Hello” she said as she held his face.Nagid have been in a coma for months now was being stared at by Anna, who was just looking at his face as she was in thought.“It’s been eight months already and the you are still not up “ she said with a smile .She cleaned his face and touched his cheeks just to be sure there was still that tenderness still there on his cheeks.She smiled and hugged him.“Still warm and smells nice. It’s now a one sided hug, I just hope you will have up as far as you can so you can huh me in returned okay” she said with a smile .She used to be hesitant when she is the one who takes the initiative to do that with him, but now all that she wanted was to have him close to him with his eyes opened and hands on her.She would have do anything just to make sure he wakes up . Also, she retired the words that was said to her about his condition. “You have to give him time, he would come around when he wants to. We can’t force him” Sir Cama said .“And what yo
Stars.Love .Excitement.Disbelieve .Shock.Pain.Obsession.These were what was as happening in Nathans's mind while she stood so close to him.Her usual scent whivh makes him identify her even when she is a bit far from him.He wanted it all.She was finally hers .But then he felt she was moving her .“No, this can’t happen. I am about to respond and she wants to leave “ he thought to himself.And just when Bella was about to stay away from him when he pulled her close to him and deepened the kiss.Bella was shocked by his sudden ‘attack’ and didn’t know what to do .But as an inexperienced person, it didn’t even take a second for her to be out of breath.Nathan smiled and moved away from her with big within a mile.Their saliva and hearts were mixed as they kissed .They could taste each other.But neither of them was feeling disgusted, they felt so warmth on the whole body that Nathan who had been keeping himself all these years couldn’t care anymore and attacked her mo
“I’m so sorry “Bella said as she felt she was tongue-tied and didn’t know what else she can do.Or what else to say?All he just said about her was true. She had been selfish. Self-centered and never thought or cared about his feeling.If she had not been like that she would have noticed these little things he had been doing for her.“I don’t know what else to say to you and I don’t even know how to react towards you later all these “She said with a sad smile. “But believe me when I say I’m regretful and I don’t even know what to do to make you regard g me anymore. Nathan, I’m so sorry. All that you have ever tried to do, were you being a good person. Who was only trying to make me happy? But the only thing I saw was a burden and someone who didn’t know how to mind his business trying to mend my life. I even left without giving you the chance to explain yourself. I’m a bad person and I’m regretting so much “She decided to just be sincere and tell him the reason why she left i
Bella walked toward him with an anxious heart as she went and stood before him without batting an eye.“Nathan?” she called again softly hoping he would at least on his eyes and see to her.Nathan still had his eyes close and didn’t even bother to respond or open them.In his thoughts, he was thinking this was a dream and all that was happening around him was not real.His mind might be playing tricks on him as he had been thinking about her a lot of late.Or it might be because he just hit his heart broken again.Why would she be here when she was already with her date for the night?She was enjoying another man’s company and he was here thinking about her again.Just the thought of it was making him very angry.He held his eyes shut and breathed in the fresh air around him to call himself down.This feeling is one of the hardest things he had ever done with his life.It was even much harder than operating on someone with a brain problem.And how their heart was also beating very fas
