"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
Lucy slowly opened her eyes gazing around the room before landing on her mother and sister."You're awake." Her mother rose from the chair and sat beside the bed holding her daughter's palm while rubbing it softly as though she genuinely cared for her."Mother?" She arched her brows while trying to sit up."You should lay down and not work yourself out, I'm here for you." Alice made her lay back down and even though that was the last thing she wanted to do she didn't put up a fight and just obeyed her. Lucy looked around in expectancy to see Michael because she had called him to save her but frowned when she saw he wasn't present.Her heart chef and a frown crept on her face as she gazed at her mother."What did you do that for?" Her mother began to lash out in anger."How could you do that knowing who he was." Emily joined her mother, glaring at Lucy who was trying to put one or two things together."You have put the company in a tight corner and I don't think we would be able to get
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
"Get into the car and-" Before the man could finish talking Michael lunged at him making him stagger in fear."Ate you insane?" Karina quickly moved away to let him finish the fight with the man who hastily got up, unlike the others he was much tougher to fight but to Michael, he was a piece of cake that would be taken care of in no time. He punched the man so much until his face was bloodied and finally left him.Michael was panting heaving his muscles up and down as sweat dripped down his body making his shirt soiled, Karina blushed at the sight and tried hard to hide her excitement while approaching him."Are you okay?" She asked with a worried gaze."Yes and what about you?" He tilted his brows while staring at her checking for injuries luckily she had sustained none."Well you certainly need a change of clothes… there's no way you would go looking this way." She pointed out pointing out and he fiowrdbjer fingers staring at his shirt and nodded."Why don't I go change and then we
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
Alec was escorted out of the restaurant by his men regardless of him continuously throwing a tantrum. "Can we go in and talk more?" Daegan gestured towards the private room still maintaining his smile at Karina."Sure." Karina nodded her head and walked into the room with Michael beside her. She looked around the room and sat casually on the couch that encircled the middle table, the room was brightly lit and was a unique yet simple setting.Daegan made his way to my side and asked his secretary to pour some drinks as they discussed."I'm honored to have you here and thank you for giving Daigin Holdings this chance." He said."Skip the pleasantries, Mr. Dakota." She waved her hand. "One thing I look forward to is that you don't disappoint, everything had to go orderly and sincerely otherwise there would be consequences."Daegan was still furious about earlier's incident, he was plotting just how he was going to take his revenge on Michael who had instigated the whole issue to end up t
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
He wants to call out to her and hesitates not wanting to cause her any trouble. "Is something the matter?" Karina asked, noticing how he had stopped walking."No, it's nothing." He said and looked away from Lucy turning his gaze to Karina, they walked further and got into her car."Thank you." Michael tilted his head wondering what she said."Thank you for today." She repeated."It's nothing, if anything I should be more thankful for helping with those herbs." Michael smiled at her, he needed those herbs to treat his ill mother."Compared to you saving my grandfather's life, that's only a small token." She stated. "I do have another favor to ask of you." She gazed at him wondering if she should go on."Okay?""Be my bodyguard." Michael gazed at her with furrowed brows. "You do have a lot of them so why ad Mr to be one?" He was confused."Well they're ensuring my grandfather's safety which I put before mine and because we were attacked I didn't feel safe alone." She explained althoug
