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
Karina stared silently at her and turned her gaze to Michael who was annoyed by Lucy's behavior. "And why do you see the need to mention that?" He frowned. "Why do you also see the need to flaunt a new woman not even up to a week since we divorced." "And why do you think we're together?" Karina interrupted gaining their attention shin, she couldn't help but feel happy that Lucy had thought she was Michael's partner at the same time she didn't want to cause any situation. Lucy was silent and didn't know how to reply to Karina. "We're only friends and I invited him here," Karina explained further but Lucy wasn't having it. "You should move on Lucy, we're divorced," Michael said hurting her even more, she gazed into his eyes as though searching for some comfort but saw nothing. "Is this who you truly are?" Lucy wasn't going to give up, if he was going to hurt her she would make site to do even worse. "How many times do you want me to" "We meet again." A masculine voice interrupts
Lucy folds her hand on her chest and gazes at her. "You seem to know him more than I do huh?" She scowled at Karina. "Nothing irritated me more than you two pretending like… you know what? Forget it." Lucy turned away already having enough for the night, she walked towards the crowd and sealed her presence in it."You made her mad huh?" Smith sighed about to turn around in search of Lucy."I heard you lost a big shot investment and your father's company is still healing." Karina gazed at him."And what about that?" He tilted his brows not wanting to talk about it but didn't shun her."Heard it was one of the most important projects your father had…. If you do need a helping hand do let me know." She smiled at him. "I'm willing to offer a helping hand, after all, your father is a food friend of mine.""I would put that into consideration." Smith nodded his head and turned around walking away from the pair. The sound of a fork hitting a wine cup spread across the room getting the attent
Michael wondered how Alec was capable enough to do what he said, there was no way he would believe that. "Someone my daughter truly needs." Alice clasped her hand together gazing at Alec when Lucy approached the with Smith by her side."Congratulations honey, this is a new chapter." Alice smiled at her daughter."Thank you." Lucy nodded lightly at her mom."I believe there would be more to come if you stay by me." Alec towered over Lucy who stared at him blankly, trying to hide the irritation she felt being so close to him."Stay with you?" She laughed. "I got this all by myself, the only thing you've brought it for me is frustration…. Do you have any idea how much I have lost because of you?" She snarled."Don't be ungrateful…" Alec frowned at her. "At least I'm better than that lunatic you used to marry.""Stop talking nonsense as if you just aren't as bad." She tried her eyes taking a glass of champagne from a waiter passing beside her. Michael didn't like the fact that she compar
They all stare in shock silently, the Hayes family were quite known for their wealth and connection that no one dared to be on their bad side. "How are we sure that you aren't making this up just to make us shaken?" Alex smirked, loving the turn of events yet he was worried that he had stepped on the wrong toes. People knew that Mr Hayes did have a son but no one had seen him so it was quite unbelievable for Clark to say such or even act in such a rash manner as though to ruin his family's reputation. "And now you think that I'm lying?" Clark laughed as the room remained silent. "I wonder just how your father would kneel before me for mercy." He approached Smith who was annoyed by being so close to him. "Don't flatter yourself." Smirk gritted his teeth wanting nothing more than to punch this man in the gut but he didn't dare. "No one wants trouble here so let go of the woman," Smith warned. "I want her so who are you to tell me what to do huh?" Clark chuckled darkly. "If I can't h
