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
Even before Nathan could answer something, they heard a knock on the door.Nathan looked at the door and questioned Karina, “Are you expecting someone?”“No, I am not expecting anyone. I only call you here; no one else,” Kara answered, standing up from her seat.“Then who was it?” Nathan questioned.“I don’t know; let me see,” Karina answered and moved ahead.“Wait, don’t go; I will check,” Nathan suggested, moving forward.“No, let me see. I don’t want anyone to enter my space. I will check." Karina stopped him and went forward. Nathan followed her from behind like a tail. He wanted to make sure that she wasn't having any problems, even though he knew his men wouldn't allow anyone in her home. Still, he decided to trail behind her.“Please stand aside and let me know who it is." Karina shoved him toward the wall and then turned around to open the door. Nathan stood at the cornet on the backside of the door as she ordered him yet he was on full alert.Karina opened the door and remain
“I already said my opinion. Do whatever you want; I won’t ever take a step back from my decision. And yeah, get out of here," Karina said, closing the door on her face.“Karina, don’t think that you can escape with this kind of behavior. I won’t let you go with your attitude; there is no way I am going to tolerate it anymore. You will pay for this." Kyle kicked on her door and walked away from there. Karina was standing, leaning on the door, closing her eyes. Seh is trying to control her emotions.“I think no one else would have this kind of family or brothers."Maybe I am the only one who is okay with this kind of family,” she said without even opening her eyes. Nathan kept her arm on her shoulder and patted her slowly. He doesn’t know how her family can behave like that with her but they have already done that."It's ok, Nathan; I am fine. I am fine, I will be fine and I would be fine,” she said, but she doesn't know to whom she is saying it—to Nathan or to herself. Nathan left her a
Karina couldn’t hear anything from her mother for quite some time. After waiting for a few minutes, her mother broke the silence.“What do you want to say, Karina? Do you want your brother to work for you as an employee while you are ruling the company? Do you want to prove yourself great, have the upper hand in front of him and degrade him?” Her mother inquired about her.“Mom, do you even know what you are talking about? Listen; it's a waste of time to talk with you. But remember, if you want him to see great heights, then you have to let him go, breaking the chains that you locked him in, which is called false prestige or else you will spill his entire life and make him useless forever,” Karina warned her for the future consequences, which she would know would happen.“Wow, you are cursing now,” her mother said, which infuriated Karina, and she immediately disconnected the call. Looking at Nathan, Karina explained everything. He nodded his head in support of her and further explain
Nathan shook his head, seeing her childishness but he simply answered, “Look at your TV. There is a little kitten in white who is looking so cute and that’s what I am saying, cute.”After listening to what he said, Karina was shocked and turned around to watch the TV. As he said, there was a little kitten in it, and the kitten was looking extremely cute. Even Karina was mesmerized by the cuteness of the kitten.“I think I want to adopt one and raise him up,” Karina commented, to which Nathan smiled.“Ok, I am taking my leave now. If there is nothing to say,” saying this, Nathan stood up from his place and folded his shirt hands.“Can you stay back tonight? You can go tomorrow morning," Karina asked him with hope in her eyes, to which he shook his head and rejected.“No, Karina. It’s not good practice to do it. Thank you for giving my ring back and do let me know when I should attend the hearing of our divorce,” Nathan said without any void of emotion in his tone. Karina was stunned to
There was a complete silence in the room.“As it’s time for lunch, let's have it. We will discuss other things later,” Gwen said without much deliberation.“Yes, I think it's a better idea,” other board members agreed. They know why Gwen said this so they agreed to it. After the clients agreed to it, Gwen turned to her assistant and issued an order:“Call the hotel and arrange everything.”"Ok, ma’am,” she said, bowing to her and going from there.“Ok, I will be back within a few minutes. Excuse me,” Gwen said to clients standing up from her chair. Everyone stood up along with her and clients said, “We need to go back for a while. We will be here within ten minutes.” After hearing that, Gwen gave a subtle nod and had one of her employees show them around the hotel and return them.After ordering this, Gwen went back to her cabin and then she passed a message to all of her board members. Upon their arrival at her cabin, she glanced around at everyone and nodded for them to share their
The clients inhaled the scent with their consent and then closed their eyes. A small smile crept on their lips without their knowledge.“Is this one of your businesses?" The client questioned Gwen, to which she replied with a simple nod. There is no change in her attitude, nor is she arrogant.“That’s the reason the whole place is screaming your authority here,” the client commented, to which she gazed at him for a second and said, “Thank you, but it was just one of our businesses, and we are not running it.” Her words resembled the fact that I don’t like comments that aren’t true.“Hmm, we know. Yes, I am saying the truth. Before meeting you, we just knew about Smith’s company, but after seeing you and observing how you are able to handle everything and make everyone listen to you and follow your orders, it isn’t easy, which everyone can be able to do. After seeing you, we can easily analyze how Mr. Smith handled this company and how he managed to get respect. This isn’t just my word
