Nathan stood there, hearing everything and feeling helpless after looking at her tears."Karina." His voice came out like a wave of pain. At that moment, he wants to do only one thing: hug her and soothe her and he wants to say everything he is hiding from her. He can’t see her broken like this.“Ah, stop. Just stop, Nathan. You have proved that I am nothing to you but I am the biggest fool here. All these days, I believed that you loved me and only me. But no, I am wrong—totally wrong,” Karina said.“Listen to me; it’s-” Even before Nathan could complete his sentence, Karina showed her right hand to him, indicating that he stop.“No more, Nathan. I am not ready to fall into your sweet trap again,” she said, looking at Nathan. Even though her face is looking cold and her eyes are red in color, only Nathan is able to see the pain in her heart. His soul could connect with hers and he could hear the painful screams of Karina."Goodbye, Mr. Nathan, I wish we wouldn’t ever meet again and y
When he came out, he met a pair of eyes who were looking at him with anger.. “What are you doing here?” He questioned her without giving much importance to her angry looks.“That’s what I should ask you? What you did?” She questioned.“Alice, I don’t have time for your nuisance. Whatever you have to say, say it quickly,” Nathan said with an irritating voice."What did you do that Miss Blackwood went back with tears in her eyes? I have never seen this much broken. What did you say to her?” Alice was enraged with anger.“I don’t think I need to answer you,” Nathan said, giving her a cold shoulder.“Who do you think you are? If the Smith family gave you some tasks, trusting you, it wouldn’t make any difference. Remember Miss. Blackwood is the CEO of Blackwood Company,” Alice said with an attitude. Her words made him infuriated so he turned around and looked at her with his cold eyes.His eyes turned blood red, which scared her. He took a step towards her, which made her retreat back for
“And yeah, why are you favoring Mr. Nathan so much? Are you in love with him?” Her sister questioned her directly.Gwen, who is sipping wine, got a shock and looked at her sister with wide eyes. She even forgot to gulp the wine that was in her mouth."Finally, gulp it or you would get throat and cheek pain,” her sister poked softly on her bulged cheeks.Only then did she come back to her senses and swallow it. She inhaled, taking a deep breath.“Now answer my question,” her sister said and she went to wash her hands. Gwen, who was relaxingly sipping her wine until a while ago, kept her glass aside and waited for her sister to come back. Her sister took a good ten minutes to come out of the washroom.“Are you washing your hands or are you preparing any soap there? Why did you take this much time?" GWen questioned irritatingly.“As my sister, you should know that I am fond of my beauty and outer appearance so I gave a little touch up to my face,” her sister answered, to which Gwen rolle
He never expected that the words he took normally would turn into a bitter reality some day.“Have some more food. How can you eat so little?" A woman in her mid-40s expressed astonishment at Nathan's small appetite.“Mom, I am not a kid anymore. You are treating me like I am just a 5-year-old,” Nathan complained.He is a grown adult now, and he is ready to take up his father’s company in a few more years.“You can even be 60 but for me, you are always a 5-year-old,” his mother said, running her hands in his hair.“Ah, mom, please. You are making me feel like I am not a grown adult anymore. Please, mom, even though I love this side of yours, I can’t forget I am not a kid anymore,” Nathan said in his puppy voice."You don't need to remember that you are a grown adult in front of us. You can behave just like a 5-year-old too,” his mother said with a smile on her face.“Then do one thing: make him sit at home and feed him with your own hands." They heard a male voice from the door. They
While he is thinking, he doesn't even notice that the night has passed and the day has started. He came out of his reverie when his phone rang. He answered the phone without looking at the caller, only to get his eyebrow scrunched.“Hello, good morning." Gwen’s voice made him more irritated.“Who wishes good morning at midnight?” Nathan frowned.“Midnight? Mr. Nathan, are you fine? Its morning, 8:00 a.m.,” Gwen answered.“What? What exactly are you talking about? He inquired, and while he was doing so, he turned around and looked at the watch that he had been wearing before going to bed. There it was, showing 8:00 a.m. He then turned around to look at the balcony after he had knocked himself on the head.“Yeah, I am still in sleep so I didn't notice it,” Nathan lied. Gwen, being the heiress of the Smith family, isn’t someone who will get cheated; however, even after knowing that he is lying, she decided not to prolong, as if he doesn’t want to say she knows not to get into his persona
“You are not Nathan? Then who are you? If you don’t leave me, I will scream for help now,” Karina warned him. However, Alex was stubborn about enjoying her that night so he had other plans and he immediately lifted her up in his arms and walked towards the lift.As he was about to enter the lift, someone called him “Mr. Alex" from behind, making him halt in his steps and turn around. Alice was standing there, huffing, trying to catch her breath.“Miss Blackwood, what happened to her? I have been calling her for a long time,” Alice said, trying to wake up Karina. She patted her cheeks.“She won’t wake up, as she has drunk a lot. She won’t be able to wake up now so I thought to make her rest in the room upstairs,” Alex explained. Alice is still believing Alex that he is taking care of her out of love.‘Oh! It’s so generous of you. Thank you, Mr. Alex." Allice smiled widely."How did you get to know about her location?” Alex was questioned, trying to analyze how she got to her location.
And then her mind sparkled with a new idea and then she looked around. She found a girl in her early twenties coming into the bar so she immediately went to her and said,“Hey, can you please lend me your phone? I need to make an urgent call. One of my known people was totally drunk and I have to inform her sister regarding it.”The girl looked at her suspiciously, understanding that she had thought for a second, and then continued,“Hmm, actually, we had little issues between us. So she won’t answer my call; however, she is also a girl and I just can’t let her be like that.” That girl believed her lie and immediately nodded her head. She fetched out her mobile and gave it to her. Without wasting a second, she dialed Alice's number."Hello." Alice answered the call with desperation. She was trying to call Karina to check whether he reached home safely or not, but she isn’t answering her calls or messages.“Miss Alice, Miss Blackwood is in this pub and she has drunk quite a bit more. P
“I am sorry, ma’am,” Alice said, and Karina signaled it towards the dining table, asking her to complete it. After completing her task, they drove to the meeting venue. The minute they entered the cafe, Karian’s eyes turned cold, which made Alice shiver.Alice's eyes traveled in the direction Karina looked. There, she found Natrhan and Gwen sitting with a cup of coffee and talking with each other."Why do these both have to appear everywhere? Is he not satisfied by the mess he caused last night?” Alice thought to herself.“What are you standing like, a statue? Come, let’s go and give a call to the client,” Karina said in a cold voice."Yes, maam,” Alice answered, and she immediately dialed the number while following Karina. Even though she is behaving like she doesn’t care about them, her eyes never left Nathan. He, who is talking about business with Gwen, might sense her presence or the cold looks, so he turned her head in the direction of Karina, and by that, she had already turned
