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
"How dare you raise your hand on me?!" Clark roared and all eyes maintained on Michael. "How dare you raise your hand on such a man?" Alec yelled at him angry that he had taken the spotlight all of a sudden, he was irritated that Michael had dared to do such a thing. "Do you have any idea what you are doing?" Alice shouted at Michael and others followed to complain just to avoid being punished by Clark. "Didn't tell me that you are scared of this tramp trying to take advantage of your gratefulness." Michael snorted although he was expecting them to act this way, his eyes stopped at Lucy who was still shaken by it all. "Are you okay?" He asked. woman?" Michael sneered at them while gazing at Clark. "You're a lowly coward so you know your actions won't affect you much… no one asked you to save her were you?" Alice added with a frown. "You all couldn't handle this piece of shit and when I decided to help you all turn your back on me like…" "Nonsense! Who gave you the nerve?" Clark
Beg? That would be the very last thing Michael would do. "I might consider not killing you if you do that," Clark smirked."Would you listen already or are you willing to let us all get in trouble along with you?" Alec spat in annoyance, the constant show of confidence was seriously eating him up and he wanted someone to do something about it."Freaking kneel already you bastard!" Alice snapped at him in annoyance. "You still act as though you are worth anything.""Silence you cowards!" Michael snapped already losing his mind. "There's no way I would let any of you get involved in this situation you didn't have to worry." He assured them but that wasn't enough to make them relaxed."What could you possibly assure?" Emily finally spoke. "Your very presence has caused nothing but trouble so why would your words be taken to heart?""Your sister was in trouble and I offered to help, the very least you should be grateful.""Help? You barely did anything other than cause more trouble!" Alec
Michael stopped in his tracks as his ears rang due to how loud the shot was, the room that had gone silent immediately let out an uproar as they panicked running to safety. Michael had barely dodged the bullet and it had hit a chandelier that had fallen to the floor and shattering in the floor, luckily no one was injured. Within a few minutes the hall was almost empty. "Why do you have to cause so much trouble?" Alec blamed him letting his voice break the silence as everyone seemed to be recovering from the shock. "It would have been better if you had just gotten hit by the bullet, that way we didn't have to pay for your foolishness." Alice snapped at him in irritation. "Are… you okay?" Lucy asked hesitantly as she gazed at him with widened eyes. She was about to walk towards him when Alec pulled her back. "After what he had just done you wish to be with him?" He scolded her. "Don't act like you aren't worse, stay away from me " she snapped at him with a saddened expression on he
Michael walked i side his house smiling when the scent of delicious food hit his nose."You're back!" He heard his mother's voice from the kitchen amd made his way there."You should be resting." He frowned seeing how she was barely able to hold herself up."You didn't have to worry about me…. I'm pretty much old and would die soon." She jeered knowing he disliked her saying that."I got a herb for you…." He ignored what she said easier and helped her to sit down on her wheelchair."Another herb?" She sighed. "They dont work you know.""I wont give up mom… so hang in there for me." He knelt on one knee while gazing at her. "You know quite well that I would be the very last person to give up.""Sweetie, sometimes you need to learn to back down… in this situation you have to back down, there's nothing you can do." A light chuckle left her lips as the smell of food burning hittheir noses.
Clark was lying on the bed when his father barged in, the doctor slowly turned to gaze at him and bowed his head low in respect. "How is he?" Mr Hayes walked towards his son with a frown on his face, Clark leaned deeper into the pillow and sighed in pain. "I'm sorry but he would be incapable of using that part of his body…" the doctor explained. "What nonsense are you spitting?" Hayes growled. "How then does my lineage continue?" "There are other ways we could go about it, sir." The doctor explained. "Nonsense! How can a hospital this equipped be unable to tend to a minor issue?" Hayes yelled. "There's nothing that can be done, sir… I and my fellow doctors have done what we could to save it." "Are you saying that I'm wrong?" Hayes stepped closer to the doctor who took a step back and hung his head low. "He's a freaking quack, I keep wondering how this place became the best hospital in the state." Clark frowned. "We would try again and hope for the better." Another doctor said
