"Are you for real?" A young lady exclaimed as soon as she heard this. She was a slender blonde with petite figure. Her skin was clear and her face round. Her eyes were bright and dreamy. She looked more like a doll. "You mean the same Amelia? The baddest and most popular model in the county?" The young lady was really excited as she asked. "Mhm-mhm." Mariana answered nonchalantly, chewing on something."The Amelia who runs the biggest perfume brand in the country?" The young lady was struggling to believe this. "Celia! How many yeses do you want me to say?" Mariana complained, looking exhausted from her cousin's questions. "Can I come with you? Please, can I?" Celia ran to hold Mariana to convince her. "It wasn't even easy for me to make it there. If it wasn't because of Vixton, I would have only dreamt of it." Mariana brushed it off. "Maybe you should also be on a lookout for hot and rich guys! Stop dating bums! They can't pay your bills. They'll just drag you to the mud with
Lord JK stopped what he was doing as soon the words travelled to him."Slade." Candyce said, looking up at the person who just entered into the foyer. When Lord JK looked at Slade's face, he saw that it was knitted and held a very strong note of business. "Leave us." He said, turning to his daughter. "Dad?" Candyce was a little bit surprised when her father said this. She looked away from her father to Slade. Judging by the way things were, she could tell at once that something was up. Although she didn't want to leave and wasn't very much pleased with the way her father had spoken to her, she knew too well to see reason. Whatever it was she was feeling at the moment, she could let it pass for now and then revisit it, perhaps when all of this is gone. She got up and left for her room. "Divine doctor." Lord JK said, now left with Slade. "You should have a seat."Lord JK offered, getting up to go and pour a glass of wine. There were a couple of guards that could have been asked
"I'm sure that the patriach wouldn't want this if he was still alive. That's why I made a move to save the company. That's why I want to buy it" Lord JK came to pause. Slade stood up all of a sudden. He headed to be bar where Lord JK had poured himself a glass of wine. He did the same and returned. "It's not in your position to worry about the company." Slade started. "Don't get involved with the company anymore. Withdraw all your interests and proposals. So that we can get along well." Slade said sternly. But mostly like a warning. Lord JK's eyes were blank for a moment. Soon enough, certain details started to appear in his eyes. It seemed like he was trying to understand why Slade was acting like this. This would make it the second time that Slade would act like this. At first, it was because of the slum! It was easy to understand why Slade would act like that because of the slum! Slade cared about the elderly folks. That was a great thing!But Lord JK was confused to know why
Lord Jendall Kurtis was a very reputable man whose charisma and influence preceeds him wherever he goes to. Yet, hearing that Slade was the heir of Nyther-Rim Groups was something that he wasn't actually prepared for. Candyce who was standing nearby was as shocked as her father. She had thought that Slade was using his influence as a doctor to get things from her father. Extortion. But now hearing that Slade himself was not an ordinary man but the heir of the notable and giant Nyther-Rim Groups?This was something she couldn't have imagined or seen coming. Lord JK was yet to say word. It was a truth that Lord JK owned a consortium and managed a lot of companies and firms, both physical and virtual. Yet he was not oblivious to the fact that Nyther-Rim Groups was not an ordinary company that he could buy as easily as he buys every other company that made up his consortium!If it was so easy to get Nyther-Rim, he would have done that like three years ago!If Nyther-Rim Groups was a
"You shouldn't bother." Slade quickly stepped in, stopping Lord JK.Lord JK still had his phone to his ear, expecting the call to be answered any moment from then. He looked quite angry at Slade when Slade told him not to bother. What was Slade thinking saying something like that. "Please hang the call." Slade urged. "Hello?" A hoarse voice was heard on the other end of the phone. Lord JK was boiling at this point. He was wishing so bad to let it all out at the person on the other end of the phone. "Is anyone there?" The voice came again. Lord JK threw his phone out of rage and it crashed against the first contact, splitting in different directions. "I'm sorry for not letting you do that, but you need to understand me." Slade continued. This time, Lord JK'S face slowly began to soften. "This is my fight. And I don't want it to escalate." Slade was choosing his words as he let them roll out one after the other. "I have a plan in place. And I won't stop until after I have dest
"Dad!!!" Candyce exclaimed as soon as her father said those words. Her cheeks had turned so red that it would seem like they were made of crimson. "Am I that ugly?" Slade turned to Candyce, seeing that her reaction was so randomly but fiesty. Candyce's gaze shifted to Slade with the speed of light. "Of course not! What are you talking about? You're like the hottest guy I've ever see---" Candyce suddenly choked on the words. She didn't know what just got over her that made her say all those things she had just said. "Oh shit!" She covered her face and ran into her room. She was blushing really hard. Those mushy comments she had made about Slade were supposed to remain in her mind. Slade was not suppose to find out. Right now, how was she supposed to face Slade when next they meet?Slade smiled as he watched her go. "So cute." He mumbled, seeing how she had just acted like a doll. Lord JK was also smiling softly as he watched all this happen. If he had a son-in-law like Slade w
Slade was moved to the depth of his being as he stared at her. There were tears rolling from his eyes as he swallowed, letting all the emotions out. "It was you wasn't it?" He asked softly, trying to create a conversation, yet not wanting to wake her up. "The Poppings that called the cops the night of the evil occurrence. It was you."Slade had been thinking about it ever since David mentioned those words. There was no other person whom he knew by that name. In fact, he was the one who gave Mamita that name long ago. It was a dull evening and they were playing on the lawn. Slade ran to a young and extremely pretty lady who was sitting on a reclining chair by the pool. There was a tablet in his hand. "Look at her. She looks like you." Young Slade had said, pointing at a lady's picture on the tablet. "Oh, Slade. Don't flatter me." The lady had chuckled, blushing a little when she saw the person in the picture. "No. She looks like you. I'm very sure." Young Slade had innocently ar
Slade was clueless as he stood there. There was nothing he could relate this situation to. In fact, he had no idea from where these man came. While he was shopping for the clothes, he didn't see any of them around. Thinking about it closely, Slade realised that when he entered into the boutique, there was no one at the door. There was no security man!This makes Slade even more stunned to see the men! Did they spawn out of thin air? There was no telling. All he could worry about was what was happening! Why did the alarm system of the boutique suddenly go off? Why are these men surrounding him?"Step aside sir." A feminine voice was heard. Slade turned to see the sales rep walking out of the counter. She was approaching Slade. She was a tall lady with long legs and nice curves. Slade shouldn't be bothered about what she looked like. He already had enough on his plate. "Can you please tell me what is happening?" Slade asked, still standing where he was. Even if he was to step asi
