“Nothing, what happened? You need something?” Karina asked him. Even before he had the opportunity to respond, he could hear the doorbell ringing.Karina shifted her attention towards the doorbell, thankful for the timely interruption. It gave her a welcome escape from the unfriendly conversations between her and her brother.“Let me check,” Karina said, standing from her seat and walking towards the door, leaving her brother with his own thoughts and concerns."Hello, ma’am, your takeout." The delivery person handed her a bag.“Thank you for your timely help,” she thanked him wholeheartedly with a soft smile on her face.“Help?” The delivery person was confused about the kind of help he provided."Ojh, yeah, sorry for the food. Actually, I am starving, as I am suddenly craving this,” he said, holding the bag in her hands and smiling.“Ok,thank you, ma’am. Please, don’t forget to leave a review,” he pleaded and Karina nodded her head.“Thank you, ma’am,” he thanked her and he left fro
“Stop it, mom,” Karina banged on the dining table. Her mother was flabbergasted to see Karina’s angry mode. Karina wasn’t someone who would lose her composure in front of her mother and brother. She never gave in to anything, regardless of what they said to her, and she managed to keep a mutually beneficial relationship with them intact.“What? How dare you scream at mom?” It is noteworthy that her brother has the courage to respond to her. The look that Karina gave him with her icy gaze is enough to send shivers down the spine. Karina gave him a glance with her icy gaze.The atmosphere in the room became charged with tension as Karina's frustration reached a boiling point. She couldn't fathom the depths of the animosity within her family, and the revelation about her brother's involvement with Nathan's ring only added another layer to the complex situation."What is the issue with both of you? Did he ever cross your line? No, he never did, and he never insulted you, and I know he won
“Mom, stop trying to blackmail me emotionally. I need answers, and if you don’t answer me now, I will find out immediately,” Karina warned.“What can you do? "If you do not believe what I said, then I cannot say anything," her mother responded. "Whatever I said was true was true.""Alright, allow me to check what exactly took place. Up until now, I did not bother to know what the reason was behind your dissatisfaction and why he lost his control." Karina said, and then dialed a series of numbers while her eyes were fixated on both of them. When Karina's mother and brother looked at each other, they were unsure of what was going on and why she was calling.“HEllo, yes. Are you in company?” Karina questioned.“YEsm ma’am. I am,” the other person answered."I need all of the front footage of our company immediately," she ordered. "Send me the footage of the day when my brother had an accident on the company premises," she added. "I need each and every one of them."."Ok, ma’am, let me ge
Leave all this; I will ask you a final question. Will you answer it without lying?" Karina questioned her mother, looking directly into her eyes."What do you want to ask? What are you up to?" Her mother questions Karena.“You are saying that I took his rights away, right?” Karina pointed out the sensitive point.“Yes,” her mother answered.“Did I ask him to give it to me? Did I ask him to do nothing and sit alone? Or if he is serving as CEO, did I fight with him to give it back to me?” Karina asked her mother if she had fought with him to give it back to her, and upon hearing those questions, her mother and brother remained silent. They knew she hadn’t done anything."What, mom, what happened? Why are you being silent? Od, did you ever wonder since the day I took charge of this company what I went through? Did you ever think about how I would manage everything? How would I be able to run this company, which is about to go bankrupt? Do you ever know how many months I was sleepless? Ho
After she completed her lecture, she looked at her brother Kyle, trying to read his mind. What Karina forgot was that once the man loses all his sanity, he won't ever change back until and unless he has gone through hell. “Whatever you say, I would say only one thing. I never insulted or took anything that was truly his. Even if you both are divorced, you must keep anything he gave you. If you don’t want that ring, give it back to me. I know how to make use of it,” Kyle answered, and she was about to take the ring from her hand. But Karina is smart enough to dodge it and look at him with a cold look. “I understand that you won’t ever change back. I hope you won’t get into any type of problem in the future.” “I am severing all my ties with you, bith. Starting today, there is no relationship between me and you both. Do’t worry; your monthly maintenance will come into your accounts as usual, and I won’t stop it. From today on, don’t ever call me or ask me to come back here."Karina de
She is in emotional turmoil, but she made a decision and stood up from the floor, walking towards her bedroom. Just then her phone rang, making her pause in her steps and take a look at it. But seeing the caller ID on the screen, her face turned red with anger.She answered the call and said, “Hello,” in her cold voice. If the other person was a normal one, he would have shuddered on the spot after hearing her cold voice. However, the person who called her was none other than Alex Atwood.“Oho! You should be grateful to me that I have saved you; otherwise, you would have been dead meat by now. But see your attitude; rather than being thankful to me, you are showing your arrogance,” Alex mocked her.“Ha, don’t think I am Alice so you can show your fake side to me. I am Karina Blackwood and you can’t cheat me,” Karina scoffed.“What can you do even after knowing who I am? Even after knowing what I am, you went into a bet with your husband, saying that I am far better than him. How could
After contemplating for a long time, she then drew a number with hesitation. The call got connected and after 5 rings, the other person answered the call."Hello." The second she heard his voice, she felt a surge of emotions overflowing in her. She took a while to control herself so as not to let herself crack up on the call. Not getting any response from her, Nathan said softly,“Karina, are you there? Why did you call me and why are you not talking with me?”“Hmm,” she hummed in response.“Are you okay?” Nathan asked her, sensing her sorrow.“Yes, I am okay,” she answered.“Ok, say, do you need anything from me that you called on my number?” Nathan was curious. At first, he didn’t want to answer her call but recalling what his men said, he thought to answer it and check on her. Even now, if he wants, he can behave coldly but it won’t ever happen with Karina. Even though he isn’t warm to her in public, he isn’t cold either. Gwen handled her every time, and he stood there silently.“H
He never gave her any type of suggestion until and unless she asked him, nor restricted her, saying you can't go here or you can’t go there. He used to give massages to her shoulders so she would feel relieved and relaxed.Karina lost herself in her train of thoughts and neglected to let Nathan in. There was a little smile dancing on her lips, which made Hum shake his head helplessly and then snap his fingers in front of her eyes, bringing her out of her reveries. "Oh, sorry, I just lost somewhere. Come in," she said, and she moved aside to let him in. After he entered, she closed the door behind him softly. Being familiar with the house, he walked in and settled on the sofa. As soon as he sat down, a familiar nostalgia embraced him, making his heart feel heavy.Why is it that time is unable to stop and move us backward? Why is it that time is unable to stop and move us backward? If we got a chance to rewind time, would we be able to repair everything and lead a happy life? I don’t even
