Everywhere went silent after they heard Robert Gu’s statement, not even Maliya expected that kind of citation when she asked her husband's niece to give her boyfriend a call about the contract.Melissa stifften in her seat as she didn;t even see what he said coming, her eyes met with her family's then she regained her composure. Robert had made her an object of ridicule already.Instead of hanging up she spoke up again. “How dare you think you can just break up with me? Are you really looking down on the Leinhart’s family right now?”“I have no more words to share with you, Melissa, never call this line again!” he hung up right after.“Grandpa, the Starfall group are really looking down on us. They do not deserve to work with us, how about we just work with the Nelson’s family.” Melissa suggests quickly covering her embarrassment.“Keep quiet for once!” Lord Leinhart oredeed. “An important deal just slipped out of your hand and you can suggest that we go to the Nelson’s family,”“But
Everyone went silent, waiting for Lord Leimhart to speak. Things have gotten quite messy between Mia and Melissa. It was clear that Mia had gotten the deal on her own but Melissa was hell bent on not letting her take the position.There is no way she would let Mia take it away from her, and Mia won’t give the post up so easily, her parents won’t let her do it if she wanted to.But what mattered was Lord Leinhart’s decisions, whether they liked it or not, they would only be following their decision.The old man was still mad that Mia didn’t marry that suitor of his choice so he wasn’t going to forgive her so easily, if he did, she would only be going against him each time he gives her an order in the future she would not obey him.Besides he still wanted her to marry the heir of the Nelson’s family because of the deal he wanted from them. He didn’t want her to marry a nobody so that she would have a strong backing when she is leading the future.He was just going to use Melissa to p
“But, I am married already, that cannot work.” Mia protested immediately. “It would be disrespectful to my husband if I decided to marry someone else.” She said this because of how she couldn't stand the thoughts of being with the heir of the Nelson’s family. She preferred to be married to Logan on papers than to have Nelson as her last name.Her family members might ot understand why she was hell-bent on not having anything to do with Nelson but she knew she wasn’t going to give in to their request regardless of the pressure she gets from them.“Your marriage doesn't have my blessings, I still stand on my words that you must divide that boy.” Lord Leinhart said in a strict voice but that didn’t make Mia back down.Lord Leinhart was declaring that he would disown her if she didn’t listen. He had done it to her late uncle, Max. He wasn’t in support of his marriage with Melissa’s mom.He made him pay for every resource that the LH group had provided for him. All of that didn’t bother
Mia sighed severely as she stared at the clothes her mom had bought from their custom fashion designer plus the pair of her favorite Jimmy Choo shoes.She was going to attend the Nelsons’ party. They were having their annual family reunion where they invited very important people to them. The Leinharts always got invited by them.Luckily, despite the fact that her parents got kicked out of the Leinhart family they still got an invite so she didn’t have to struggle to get a plus one she would tag along with.It would have been a disappointment because no one would expect that Mia Leinhart would be in that position. She was thankful for that because she was still trying to hide her personal matters from the press.Her mood was down because she was still hesitant about going but she could not defy her parents. She was the reason why their accounts had been frozen and their daily lives had been taken away from them.After she wore her clothes, their old chauffeur came to pick her up on he
She locked her eyes with his but she quickly looked away, averting his gaze before anyone noticed. Besides, she didn't want Mike to notice his presence. A part of her wanted to run up to hug him for refuge but the other part of her remained in one place.Aside from when she was with her parents, everyone else were strangers to her, she never liked to move close to them because of how distressed and uncomfortable around them. Strangely whenever Logan was around, all her anxiety goes away, she kept on thinking about how handsome he looked when he came in, though he wasn’t as influential as most people there, in her eyes he shone brighter than everyone there“Are you okay?” Mike linked his arms with her. “You seem like you are cold.” he asked after feeling her body temperature go down.”Bile rose up in her throat as his skin touched hers, now she wanted Logan to come and take her away from the man she was standing with. Her skin crawled as he held onto her, she was glad that she didn’
“Let go of me!” Logan yelled back at her. “Why are you saying I stole from you? Did you mistake me for someone else? I am Logan, Mia’s husband.'' He said the last part in a whisper because he didn’t want the others to hear him speak about his identity.He didn’t suspect what his sister-in-law was up to, he was rather in more confusion.“You stole my ring, why are you trying to get away!!!” She screamed at him like he was a complete stranger to him. He looked at her fingers and faced her back.“I didn’t take your ring. What would I need your ring for? Can you just let me go right now, we can talk about the ring when I get back.” He said because he was still in a rush to go change his clothes. He didn’t want his wife to see him in that state now her cousin is accusing him of stealing the ring.“You took the ring,” Melissa yelled to attract people since they were very far away from them. Mike and Mia were no longer in sight, Logan was a bit bothered because he saw Mile take his wife to
The guards bowed down and parted the way for Lord Nelson to come into their midst as they were trained. The way they were quick to form an arrangement created a fear in Melissa.While Logan was proud of the guards because they had been trained using the techniques he created. They were guards that had never undergone his personal training but were perfect with their moves.Melissa was so frightened as it was her first time seeing Lord Nelson in person plus the way the guards had moved was no joke. She had always heard about him. He was a strict and uptight man that took no nonsense from anyone.The maids at the Leinhart villa who previously served Lord Nelson often spoke about rules and how he treated them with sternness. Never did she know that she was going to meet him that way.A part of her understood her grandfather’s obsession with wanting to be in-laws with him.She didn’t expect him to come, she was expecting Mike to have shown up. A part of her quickly hopes that things won
Lord Nelson led them into the huge mansion, as they were about to enter the surveillance room, a man came out of the surveillance room.He bowed before he started speaking. “Good evening, Welcome to the Nelson's surveillance suite, I will need to check everyone in before you go in. if that is okay with you, please step aside”” The man instructed.Even though the house belonged to Lord Nelson, he couldn’t walk into that wing without getting checked.Lord Nelson, Logan and Melissa plus two other main guards who knew Logan's identity stepped aside.The other guards remained in their position as it was in the rules that watch guards cannot come into certain wings of the villa.“Alright!” the man said, then a huge machine came forth, “We will get started right away,” the man announced.Lord Nelson got on the machine and it screened it. Melissaa had grown up in wealth but she just witnessed another level of wealth that she had never seen.Compared to the Leinhart’s Villa, the Nelson' vill
