"What is he, and what have I overlooked about him? Is there anything about which I don't know?" A doubt arose in Karina’s heart and mind.While everyone was enjoying the party, Alex was still roaming the venue's premises. When he saw the scarred man, he understood that something was wrong. He went near him and tried to talk with him, but he completely ignored Alex and walked out, which hurt his ego and annoyed him.“What the hell is everyone thinking about me? Am I looking mad? Why is everyone just irritating me?” Alex thought to himself as he roamed around, pondering how to uncover the exact events that transpired at the party.Nathan and Mr. Smith continued talking with each other for some time. In the process, Nathan totally forgot about Karina being present at the venue. Gwen tried to tell Nathan what exactly happened, as he had to know everything, and by glancing at Karina even from afar, she was able to understand her mental condition, as she was well aware of what a woman can go
Her heart is twisting with pain, and tears are forcing her to come out. Her shoulder is itching where he touched her. She wants to remove the skin from there so she can remove the irritating feeling. She grabbed a glass of wine and stood there, looking into the dark. Her heart is also like that darkness, and she can't feel any hope or light in her life.She stood there without noticing anything else. Alice lost her and couldn’t find her anywhere. She started roaming here and there in search of her. Nathan noticed her tensed face and scrunched his eyebrows. He went near her to ask what happened, but recalling her attitude, he took a step back and behaved like he didn’t care about it. Even his eyes are searching for Karina, whom he can’t find anywhere. Even though he doesn’t want her to come back into his life, he is happy.The scarred men who escaped from there after the insult came back with their men. Alex stood in front of him, and without noticing who or what he was, he fisted his
“Ahh!” she screamed an ear-piercing scream, grabbing everyone’s attention to her.Nathan immediately recognized her voice and turned to look at her. When he saw Karina on the floor, her blood was boiling. However, even before he took a step ahead, the man approached her and dragged her head to the center of the event.“Ahh, leave my hair,” Karina cried in pain. He is dragging her in such a way that she feels her hair come out of her head.“What? Are you scared now? Where did that lioness go now? Where are your guts that were there when you slapped me? Where is your daring nature? Is this what you mean by don’t dare to rouch me?” He sneered at her.Nathan wasn’t understanding anything and his words are saying that they both know each other. How come he doesn't know that she has encountered such a guy? The guy left Kaina’s hair and she immediately stood up with lightning speed and was about to hit him again. But this time his men were quick enough to react and they stopped her hand when
He doesn't know exactly what exactly had happened but seeing the men, he understood that something serious would have happened at the party so out of curiosity to know what happened exactly, he went to the terrace.Seeing the condition of the event, Alex laughed and said, “Oh, you think your guards can save you all, but see what happened here? Is this why you didn't allow me in?’Hearing his words, Nathan and Gwen get angry but they decide to stay silent. Gwen looked at the gueyts and said, “We are really sorry for the situations that took place here. Once again, hearty congratulations to the companies that were about to collaborate with us. This is the end of the event today and please allow our guards to guard you all until your vehicles.”Everyone accepted her request, as they were also scared of the events that took place there, so they silently vacated the place along with the Smith family guards. Nathan, Gwen, Alex, Karina, and Alice, along with Gwen’s assistant, were still ther
“I know that you are scared of me. But if we keep running from our problem, when will we solve it? And as you mentioned, he looks so capable, so is there any guarantee that he won't find me in another place? So this is not the solution; don't worry about me. Nothing would happen to me,” Nathan assured her, taking her face in his hands.“Why don’t you understand my fears? I hid everything from you because I don’t want to drag you into this, which endangers your life,” Karina stated.“What do you mean? What did you hide from me?” Nathan questioned in his quivering voice.“N..nothing,” Karina stumbled in her words. Nathan glanced at her without uttering a single word. The gaze is enough to make Karina scared.“Why are you looking at me like that? Say something; you are scaring me without opening your mouth.” Karina tried to talk with him but he didn’t utter a single word and looked at her without blinking his eyelids.“Then answer my question,” Nathan said in a neutral tone, which made K
“Mr. Alex, you are not permitted to join the party. You are still here, and I haven't said anything. I will ensure that if you harm Nathan, your family will be eradicated not only from this city but from the business world and the earth as well. Don’t try to test me because you would have already known about Smiths.,” Gwen passed a warning.Hearing that warning, everyone stood calmly, including Karina. Only Alice opened her mouth in shock.“What’s wrong with this SMith? Why is she defending the scumbag?” She thought to herself. She doesn't dare open her mouth in front of Karina or Gwen.“Ok, Karina, take care. I would be leaving now,” Nathan said to Karina and looked at Gwen. Understanding the meaning of his gaze, Gwen nodded her head and showed her thumbs up.“Great, then I will take my leave. If there is anything, feel free to call me,” Nathan said, not particularly to anyone but to everyone. The person Nathan was speaking to understood his message and responded with a slight smirk.
“Ok, I will finish the work by tomorrow. You should be able to clear everything within two days,” Gwen ordered.“Ok,” the other person said and the call was hung up. After that, Gwen walked away from there. Her guards dropped Karina off at her home and then checked all her surroundings. After realizing that no one was near by who was looking doubtful, they went back.Karina, after reaching home, went directly into her bedroom. “Miss Blackwood, I am going back home now. If there is any emergency, give me a call, and I will be back,” Laid said from behind, who came along from behind."It's already late, so it's unsafe. Stay back here tonight and you can leave directly to company from here along with me,” Karina rejected her idea of going back to him. Alice looked at her, not understanding what to do. She doesn’t know what she wants to do as Kairna is behaving completely differently, which is not known to her. So she was still in doubt about what to do.“What are you thinking? I said st
“Hmm, ok. I am not scared nor am I thinking about it.” Karina easily lied, but Nathan already knew she was lying and he had already guessed she would be thinking of scaring her skin off.“Ok, what else? How is your relationship going with Alex? When are you going to submit papers in court?” Nathan questioned her, which enraged her.“Why are you eagerly waiting to get divorced? Are you waiting to marry Miss Smith?” Karina questioned him in anger.“Did I say to you that I was going to marry her? No, right, I am not going to marry anyone for now. Maybe in the future I might think of it,” Nathan answered and hearing Karina was dumbfounded. He didn't give her the answer as yes or no; he just skipped the answer in a more diplomatic way.Not knowing what to reply and how to reply, Karina opted to stay silent as she doesn't have anything to say to him. However, Nathan knows what's running through her heart so he simply twisted the topic, wiping off the silence between them.They both spoke fo
